Hey, guys, not much to say hope you enjoy the chapter.
Twisted Reenactment
Trunks was sitting on the ground waiting for confirmation. There was no response from the twins. "No! NO!" He slammed his fists on the ground, Gohan's clone was active! He needed to go help!
He stood up only to fall to the ground.
Trunks cursed, he wasted so much energy on his father's clone. If he had known things would turn up this way he would have destroyed the clone much sooner, maybe he wouldn't have been at peak condition but at least he'd have the energy to go help!
"Damn it!" He yelled he had no choice but to wait until he gets his energy back.
'Lapis, Lazuli, get out of there now!' He yelled telepathically.
What's even worse, he still doesn't know where his daughter is!
Goku's home
Lapis and Lazuli have never before felt a sense of dread like this, they were reeling from what they saw. They couldn't even register Trunks's telepathic message.
'Gohan' smirked. "What's wrong 17?" He asked still using Gohan's voice. "This is where you give me a one-liner, or 18 would say something like she wouldn't want blood on her outfit. Come on guys, I thought you'd be happy for us to be reunited." He let go of the facade for a bit.
"Stop it."
'Gohan' glanced at 17 who said that. "Something wrong 17?"
Lapis squeezed his hands, Chi-Chi, she's dead. A woman they have caused so much pain was killed. She was willing to die to save them, to help them destroy this thing. They already had the other fake Z-fighters put them through this, but this was a ridiculous new low. "Stop talking like that."
'Gohan' looked at the Android. "Why? Because you know I can destroy you now?"
Lazuli fired a Ki blast.
'Gohan' deflected it and turned to 18 who had an angry glare.
Lazuli stared at where ChiChi had died before their eyes. She remembered the last time they met, she was hostile and had hated her. But despite that, she thanked her and helped her rejoin the fight against Babidi. And now she had forgiven her and her brother and tried to help them stop this monster only to no avail!
'Gohan' smirked. "This won't be as easy as the last time we-"
"Shut up!" She yelled having enough of this charade. "Baby, when did you take the body?"
'Gohan' looked at her with a disappointed face. "Shame, I would've liked to play a bit first." He then spoke with his real raspy voice. "Come now Androids, I thought you liked games. I can see all the games you played." He pointed at his head. "All in here." He chuckled.
He was referencing Gohan's memories, and she remembered full well what games they had Gohan suffer through. "When did you take the body?" Lazuli repeated the question.
"Obvious" He pointed at the house. "I took it while 'Gohan' was in that house, it took forever for me to find him." He complained. "This clone was very disobedient, but I had a way to locate him thanks to Bulma."
Damn it! It wasn't supposed to be like this.
"But" Lapis began. "How did you do that? Kill Gohan's mother? Vegeta and Goku's clones had acted like their real selves before. How did Gohan clone not stop you!" He said remembering Trunks explaining how easily 'Goku' spilled some of Baby's secrets, and how he tricked 'Vegeta' to escape him.
Baby cackled. "Fools, every strong body I have inhabited I have taken some of their energy with me, helping me myself evolve to the point where I can ensure my hosts no matter how strong-willed can fall under my control!" He laughed. It was true, he knows Gohan's personality but he doesn't have to use it, it's just an option.
Both Cybrogs looked at him like he was a madman, they weren't sure how to solve this problem without help. They can sense Trunks, his energy really plummeted, he isn't going anywhere for a while.
Lazuli looked around, she couldn't see Iolite. Good, she's away from here, she hoped that she stayed hidden.
'Gohan' rose a hand and waved his finger to him. "Come now Androids, it took longer than expected to get this together, now let's make it worth it."
The duo looked at each other, they remembered how they fared against Vegeta's clone, together they almost killed him but that was with Zangya's help, which means they shouldn't last long against 'Gohan'. Also with the other clones destroyed he must be empowered by their energy. Not to mention Iolite is still in the area, she's suppressing her power level, so that means running isn't an option. They have to hold him off until Trunks finds a way to be back at 100%.
No choice but to fight now they took their respective stances.
'Gohan' smiled maliciously.
The duo charged at Baby Gohan and threw a combination of punches and kicks, but 'Gohan' swayed every strike and backed away with his superior speed to avoid them. He jumped back while looking at them, and the twins charged at him.
While they were chasing him they wondered why he wasn't attacking yet and noticed that he wasn't exactly focused on the fight.
'He's leading us somewhere.' Lapis thought. 'But where? Does he have more clones?'
'Gohan's eyes looked around while staying focused on the Androids. He turned his head as he dodged an energy blast from one of them. "Where is it again?" He asked in Baby's voice and then he smiled. "Found it! Perfect!"
That gave them an opening.
Lapis appeared above him and kicked 'Gohan' on the side of the face sending him wheeling away.
Lazuli floated above and fired an energy wave.
The blast hit 'Gohan' and created smoke in the air. 'Gohan's body fell out of it while spinning and he landed on a large rock, he felt the attacks but they didn't do much. He glanced in a direction with great interest and looked back up at the Androids.
Lapis and Lazuli flew down at him with impressive speed.
The two struck 'Gohan' but they went threw him as it was an afterimage.
Baby Gohan appeared behind them and performed a spin kick across both their heads sending them flying. A smirk appeared on his face. 'Good' He flew after them.
Both of them felt great pain in their faces, he hit even harder than 'Vegeta's clone, they tried to stop their momentum but they couldn't the force was just too great. The two were sent flying for miles.
A town that had its entire populace infected by Baby was living their lives as if nothing was wrong.
One 'citizen' looked up. "What is that? Look out!"
Everyone cleared out of the area where they see two objects heading down to their town.
Two fast bodies crashed into the ground forming two craters as well as a massive earthquake.
Lapis groaned from the pain as he slowly got up from the pain, he's never been hit so hard he couldn't catch himself in the air, not one that sent him flying for miles. "Lazuli! Are you ok?" He asked in a pained voice.
In her own crater Lazuli was also getting up. "Yeah"
At the same time, the duo jumped out of their craters and landed in front of them. "Where are we?" Lazuli asked looking around.
It was a town very familiar one the people around them screamed at the sight of them.
"It's the androids everyone run!" One possessed citizen yelled.
The people in the area ran as if they were going to kill them.
Lapis and Lazuli felt dread from this, there was something very disturbing about people running from them again after all this time. Baby definitely possessed this town. They looked around and were able to recognize the place.
"It's-"
"Pepper Town."
The duo to turned to see 'Gohan' standing on top of a building with a smile. "Yes, this is a fitting grave for you wouldn't you say?" He cackled. "The place where you and Gohan had your final battle."
The twins remembered fully well, the battle where their programmed selves destroyed 'Gohan' thinking he was proving not worth the trouble.
"Now that I've set the scene." Baby Gohan began. "Let me get into character."
He took a stance that they were very familiar, and to add insult to injury, Baby had put his left arm behind his back. The same arm that the original Gohan lost.
Baby spoke only this time he used Gohan's voice. "Not one death will go unaccounted for! Not one!" He yelled another one of Gohan's last lines.
Lapis and Lazuli were seething at this, this thing, this abomination needed to be destroyed!
Nearby Goku's home
Android 16 wanted to head in their direction, but his sensors found someone they needed. Trunks is not at 100% and they need his power in order to stand a chance against the enemy. But he can sense Baby's energy, Lapis and Lazuli will not survive, he then picked up on someone else.
They were close to a home that 16 was familiar with, the home of Son Goku.
He landed in a clearing and looked around. "It's only me, please come out."
After a few seconds, bushes move and it was Iolite in her purple and white Gi. "16!"
The Android looked down at the little girl and kneeled with a smile. Glad that she was safe.
The little girl's eyes watered and she ran to 16. "Uncle 16!" She hugged the big lug by his neck after the whole ordeal with Chi-Chi she was glad to see a friendly face, she didn't care about what was happening to her just glad to have him back.
16 was a bit startled by that remembering the last time he saw her but was glad nonetheless.
Iolite pulled away and yelled. "16, the bad guy has Gohan's body he's fighting my mom and uncle Lapis! You have to save them!"
The Android nodded. "I will, however, you need to do something to help as well."
"W-what? But what can I do? I'm too weak!" She yelled frustrated with herself. What was the point of training? She was useless!
16 gently placed a giant hand on her head getting her attention and smiled. "I assure you, strength is not all you can contribute to this." He brought his other hand and a vial with water in it. "I need you to take this to Dende, once you do he will head over to heal your father."
Iolite took the vial in her hands and looked up at him. "But I can't sense him!"
"I know which brings me to my idea." 16 gently lifted up Iolite and placed her on his arm.
The little girl caught on to what he was doing. "Didn't mom say this was too dangerous?" She remembered asking her if she could do this.
"This is an exception."
The little girl held on to the sacred water vial tightly to make sure she won't drop it. "16?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry about earlier." She said eluding to what happened on the lookout when he saw her.
16 only smiled. "No apologies needed, I understand." He stated. "Now be ready."
She nodded and held on to 16's hand ready. She turned Super Saiyan so she can stay on to brace for what was about to happen.
The Android blasted his arm with Iolite riding it.
He looked at her, hearing her sound like she was having fun made him smile. But he frowned as his arm repaired a replacement. He needed to do his part, now.
In the forest
'Dende' and 'Mr. Popo' were both waiting in a forest as per their master's instructions.
'Popo' was readying tea for them wondering when the master will achieve the Tuffle's goal.
Then right in front of them, there was a crash.
It shook the mountain they were on. The duo looked in the crater and were shocked at what they found.
Iolite as a Super Saiyan was standing on what looked like 16's severed arm and she was dizzy.
"Ohh" She spun around for a bit. "I see why mom didn't want me doing that." Now she feels her mother should've punished her instead of yelling at her for trying to convince 16 to use his attack as a ride. She then stopped when she saw who she needed to. "Little Green! Popo, there you are!"
'Popo' turned to his carpet. "Come Dende to the magic carpet!"
But as Super Saiyan Iolite was much faster than the two of them and appeared in front of them.
The two panicked as they looked at the little Super Saiyan.
Iolite then removed the top of the vial and splashed the sacred water on them.
The two screamed as they felt the essence of the Tuffles leave their bodies.
The little girl winced at their screams and looked in the direction she thought her family was. 'Mom, uncle Lapis, uncle 16, please be safe until I can get dad!' She really wanted to make amends to her family for everything.
Pepper Town
Lazuli looked at her brother and used telepathy to talk to him. 'Lapis, this is Gohan's body so he'll be used to our fighting styles, even working together.'
He glanced at her. 'Right, we'll just have to use our newer stuff on him.'
The duo nodded and faced 'Gohan'.
"We're sick of your games Baby!" Lapis yelled as he flew to him with Lazuli at his side.
'Gohan' kept a serious face on while Baby on the inside was enjoying every second of this.
The twins then separated leaving behind after images. 'Accel Afterimage.'
The duo seemed to be in multiple places at once surrounding 'Gohan'.
'Gohan' looked around him trying to find the duo, he rose his right arm to block a punch from Lapis, then a kick came to his right, he countered with a kick only to hit an afterimage and Lapis appeared before him and hit his gut, then Lazuli ax kicked his face.
The half Saiyan then shouted and performed a barrier to surround himself.
The twins were now only able to hit the barrier surrounded by afterimages.
The Tuffle Android kept a serious face, Baby simply wanted to keep the facade. He then crossed his arms and spread them outward to create a giant explosive wave.
Lapis and Lazuli backed away as their afterimages were destroyed in the explosion.
The two looked down in the smoke wondering where he went.
'Gohan' appeared in front of them at blinding speed.
Lapis through a punch aimed at the left side of his face while Lazuli did a kick on the right.
'Gohan' with his right hand caught Lapis's punch and bent his arm to use his elbow to block Lazuli's kick.
The twins were shocked, with one arm he was keeping up with them.
'Gohan' then spun throwing Lapis into Lazuli tossing the duo away. He then placed his hand over his head. "Masenko!" He performed a one-handed Masenko at the duo.
Lapis sees this and thrusts his arms apart forming a barrier around the two stopping the siblings from falling as the yellow energy exploded against the barrier though it did crack it a bit.
'Gohan' then appeared in front of the barrier to their surprise. He then punched the cracked barrier-breaking it, he then threw a punch against Lapis's cheek and kicked up Lazuli's chin knocking them back, they crashed through a couple of buildings making them collapse.
The possessed people in the city ran in multiple directions, terrified of the fight going on, some were killed in collapsing buildings others were trapped in the city as the roads were blocked by the destruction.
Lapis and Lazuli forced themselves up, the brunette placed his hand down and it glowed yellow as he flooded it with a prepped attack ready. He glanced at his sister and they both nodded.
'Gohan' dashed down at them.
The two flew high in the air as he chased them.
Lapis rose one arm. "Photon Geyser!"
A Photon Flash blasted from the ground.
'Gohan' turned around to see the yellow energy wave heading towards him.
The twins then were side by side preparing their Photon Blitz.
'Gohan' still only used his right hand to put his hand against the yellow wave, and spun around bending the Photon Geyser and throwing it at the twins.
Lapis and Lazuli were shocked at how easily he did that as the energy wave was fired at the duo.
'Gohan' remained serious, Baby was dedicating himself to the role as he watched the two fall from the sky in ruined clothes.
The duo hit the ground with a few bruises.
Baby Gohan cackled as it looked like they were finished and he hasn't even tried using the power of the other clones yet.
As 'Gohan' had one arm aimed at the Androids. He stopped when he heard something. He stopped his attack and blocked with his right arm.
It was 16, he swiped his other arm to pull a vial to his sleeve.
Baby Gohan sees that and immediately kicks it out of his hand, before shooting a beam from his finger. 'Too close! I can't risk them using th-'
16 then punched him across the face sending Baby away from the town. It was unfortunate, but they have more in the lookout if they need more. They'll need to hold him off until Trunks get's back at full strength.
Lazuli looked up glad to see who turned up. "S-Sixteen!"
The android floated down to the duo and looked at Lapis who was groaning as he awoke.
"There is no time let's leave the city, we cannot endanger the civilians." 16 reasoned.
"I tried that once, want to know what happened?" 'Gohan' asked from behind.
16 was shocked he hadn't expected Baby to be behind him so quickly. He turned with a punch.
Only for 'Gohan' to catch it albeit with some trouble.
As 'Gohan' grunted he continued. "They destroyed the city as I tried to lure them and say it's my fault for chickening out!" He shouted angrily as if Baby himself was angry at that. He then pulled 16 and swung him around and tossed him out of the town.
16 was tossed into a mountain just outside of the town which caused an earthquake around the town.
'Gohan' then glanced down at the duo who stood up in fighting positions. He then flew down at the duo and spun kicked but it phased through them. He glanced at his sides and sees them with their hands on their heads.
The duo yelled. "Solar Flare!"
Blinding lights from both sides appeared.
Lapis threw himself at 'Gohan' and threw a kick only to hit 'Gohan's risen right arm.
Lazuli threw herself and performed a sweep kick only for 'Gohan's foot to rise and stop on her boot causing her pain.
The twins look at 'Gohan' wondering how he avoided the solar flare.
'Gohan' looked at the cyborgs. "All you need to do is close your eyes for a moment."
Lapis and Lazuli yelled as they threw multiple punches and kicks while 'Gohan blocks or dodges still using one arm.
With his right arm, he chops at Lazuli's midsection and kicks Lapis's face.
He then grabbed Lazuli by the leg and swung her on top of Lapis causing a crater beneath them.
Before he could do anymore Android 16 appeared behind him and grabbed his sides with his huge arms.
'Gohan' struggled in his grip.
The twins rose up and threw themselves at the restrained 'Gohan' and punch him in the face multiple times.
'Gohan' or rather Baby was getting angry at this. He then screamed and finally used both arms, he rose them up to create pressure with his Ki to push the Androids off of him.
The clone had an angry face as he looked between his enemies.
"You used your other arm, that means you're done?" Lapis teased their greatest enemy.
'Gohan' started to grin. "Fine" He spoke in Gohan's voice then switched it to Baby's. "It's not as fun with this one here." He glanced to 16. "Hmph, too bad, oh well fun while it lasted." He laughed as he looked at the androids in front of him glaring at him. "Why so serious?" He asked with that hideous grin that Baby was being known for. " You didn't appreciate my little game with you?"
"Shut up Baby!" Lazuli yelled angrily.
On the inside Baby was cackling at how much fun he was having with these fools. He can't wait to see Trunks' reaction to this!
In the Mountains
Trunks was on the ground trying to sense where they were, he can sense some energy signatures dying in the distance, he stood up and powered up but he was still nowhere near his top form. "Damn it!" If only he didn't have to waste so much energy on the clone of his father! It didn't matter! He needed to go now!
"Trunks!"
The half Saiyan stopped and turned surprised to see Dende, Mr. Popo, and... Iolite! 'What? Did Baby get to her too?!" He thought but then he realized. 'No. If he did why bring her to me?'
"Trunks it's ok it's really us!"
It was it had to be, there's no way Baby would bring these three to him.
"Thank goodness, but how?"
"You can thank 16 and of course Iolite right here!" He turned to the little girl who giggled.
Trunks looked at his little girl and smirked putting a hand on her head. "Good job Iolite!" He said happy to see his daughter alive and well.
"16 found him, he just gave me a lift," Iolite said smiling.
Dende placed his hands on Trunks. "I'm going to fix you up, once you are head over to the battle they need you."
Trunks didn't say anything as he was in the light. "I will but tell me this, is it true, is Baby in Gohan's clone?"
Iolite looked away knowing how bad this is.
The Namekien didn't say anything as he too was friends with Gohan. "Yes"
The half Saiyan glared. He already killed his father's clone now he had to get Gohan's too. Baby was going to regret everything.
Pepper Town
Baby Gohan put a hand on his chin as if he was thinking. "What part of my game did you not like? Did I not say Gohan's lines right? Was using one arm too much? Or-"
Lazuli threw a Power Blitz at Baby, but he merely deflected it away.
16 flew behind him and threw a punch.
Baby rose his left arm to block it.
Lapis landed a punch to Baby's gut.
Lazuli flew forward and smashed her elbow in his face forcing him back then 16 threw a couple of punches across his body and sent him flying.
But Baby caught his momentum and righted himself, he didn't look like he got a scratch. "Oh, perhaps it was that old woman? Was that it?"
Lazuli put her hands together and formed a pink ball in her hands, it then turned into multiple Ki blasts, her Infinity Bullet scattered at their enemy.
Lapis flew down below as the blasts were fired over him at Baby.
Baby Gohan deflected the blasts still smirking the whole time.
The black-haired Cyborg floated behind him with his hand aimed at him. He fired his Photon Flash at him.
The demented parasite turned around and threw an uppercut at the yellow energy wave sending it upward and deflecting the last of Lazuli's Infinity Bullet.
Lazuli stopped realizing that it wasn't working much to her frustration.
Once again Baby continued talking like nothing happened. "But whatever could be the problem?" He asked almost genuinely. "She's now reunited with her family, isn't that better than living alone while her son's killers live long happy lives?"
16 then aimed his fists and they blasted off of his arms.
'Gohan' flew up as the rocket punches chased him. Baby remembered how tricky this simple-looking move was, they can explode at any moment and if he blasts them they ignite a blinding light. Things he'd rather avoid. With closed eyes, he stopped and used Gohan's barrier technique to shield himself from the punches.
The fists collided with the shield and exploded.
Once the smoke clears he raises puts his arms at his sides to deflect two energy waves from the sides. He glanced to see Lapis and Lazuli at his sides with their hands aimed at him.
Unbothered by all this Baby continued as if nothing important was happening. "Chi-Chi died hearing her son tell her he loved him, it was such a nice death wouldn't you say?" He asked. "Much nicer death than what you've given any of your victims I'm sure."
"SHUT UP!" The twins screamed clearly unhinged by this, they charged at him while 16 appeared from below.
Baby Gohan only grinned as he was locked in a combination of punches and kicks between all three Androids. He started to fight back but only against 16.
The Super Saiyan Android dodged a kick from Lapis and a punch from Lapis and through a straight punch at 16's face sending him away. Once he was out of the way for a bit he focused on the twins.
"Why are so angry? Did you think the old hag deserved the same end your victims shared? In pain, screaming, alone?" He cackled as the two were getting more and more furious at his words. "I knew you were cruel, but this is a whole new level."
"Just shut up and die already you monster!" Lapis screamed at him.
Baby frowned this time as he dodged, he then thrust his arms out creating a small yellow explosion pushing them back and forcing them to land on the ground.
As Lapis, Lazuli, and 16 get up they look up to see Baby Gohan floating with his arms crossed. "You say I'm a monster?" He asked. "No, no, no, I'll show you a monster." He glanced around them.
"Lord Baby! You can win save us from the Androids!"
The heroes heard that and looked around to see there were still quite a few people remaining in Pepper Town no doubt wanting to see their lord winning.
Baby smiled as he aimed his hand down specifically at where most of the people were crowded.
The twins and 16 looked horrified.
Lazuli was the first to speak. "Wait, w-what are you doing?" She demanded to know.
"Why I'm showing you a monster, the kind of monster that Gohan grew up with." He cackled. "Also I thought you didn't want to play my game so you might appreciate this game more, you played this every year with Gohan, now what did you call it?"
They realized what he was doing.
"Baby don't you dare!" Lapis yelled.
Baby snapped his fingers. "Oh right, Mercy For the Damned." He grinned.
He fired multiple pink energy blasts from his hand as he fired at the civilians.
16 looked at them, he was willing to sacrifice human lives to end one of the clones but now since there was no chance they were going to kill this clone without Trunks he felt the need to protect them. Letting them die would be needless.
Lapis and Lazuli too as they remembered this situation though it was in reverse. Whenever Gohan came on the anniversary of their first meeting they would play this and many other 'games' with him to give him a chance to save people while they had their fun.
16, Lapis, and Lazuli did what they could to knock as many Ki blasts as they can, they would also throw Ki blasts and rocket punches at Baby but with his superior speed, he was able to avoid all of them while still blasting at people.
In the end, the androids were kneeling on the ground, and 16 was getting repaired in places all over his body.
Lapis and Lazuli were on the ground next to each other, both of them were bleeding.
"W-why?" Lazuli asked as she glared up. "They were your own people, you had them under control!"
Baby Gohan floated down in front of them and shrugged. "I'll just use the Namekien dragon balls to wish them back."
The trio looked at this clone, this thing. It went on and on about how evil Saiyans were and Androids being the same way. But this thing was crueler than both species combined. It had no right to claim what was right or wrong or preach about how barbaric any race was.
"You couldn't even save half of them." Baby Gohan said almost sounding disappointed. "Come on Androids were you even trying?"
Lapis remembered those words, he said that to Gohan on the first 'anniversary' of their fighting when he did this disgusting 'game' with him.
"Honestly, I keep wondering why I leave you alive." The abomination continued.
Lazuli said those words when she was also disappointed with Gohan the first time they 'played' this.
Both twins were horrified at the destruction, it was terrible remembering what happened, to see it in action by someone who appeared to be the man who tried to stop him. It was truly a nightmare like they were getting a taste of their own medicine.
Baby laughed heartily. "Look around you and tell me what you really see." He sneered at their horrified faces. "What I did to Chi-Chi was a mercy, this, this was a real monster's work!" He got back to laughing maniacally.
Lazuli had become a mother and fought not to shed a tear. Hypocrite or not, Baby was right they never allowed their victims comfort. But what he did was NOT mercy! Baby had used a clone of Gohan to murder Chi-Chi, made her go through seeing a clone of her son before dying, and he called that mercy? Disgusting!
"Enough!" 16 yelled as he was fully repaired and shoulder tackled.
Baby rose an arm to catch the giant Android. "Oh, more force behind it, that power core is being pushed to it's limits isn't it?" He said cackling.
Lapis glared angrily and looked to his sister.
Lazuli clenched her fists and nodded.
The duo split up, Lapis heading around the city while Lazuli headed towards Baby.
Baby sees the twins split up and smirked if Lapis was heading away he knew what they were up to. He tossed 16 aside, backhanded Lazuli, and flew.
Lapis was prepping a Photon Flash to plant around the city.
'Gohan' appeared in front of him much to Lapis's horror.
Desperately, the enhanced human was about to unleash his attack.
But Baby Gohan grabbed his wrist and brought it down bringing the two closer and having Lapis's charged attack hit the ground causing three buildings around them to fall.
"Trying the same trick you used on 'Vegeta'? Come now 17, you didn't think I'd watch you for it?"
Lapis smirked and rose one arm. "Photon Geyser!"
Baby looked surprised and let go and flew back. But nothing happened, no blast came from the ground he realized it was a trick.
"You little-"
16 appeared behind Baby and kicked his back sending him towards Lapis.
The Cyborg then had one hand forward with his other grabbing his wrist. A yellow glow appeared around Baby when he was close enough and he stopped trapped in Frieza's technique that Lapis had copied against the clone of the emperor.
Baby was trapped and could force his way out. "D-damn it!"
Lapis then kicked the ball over to 16.
The Android kicked the ball up.
Lazuli dashed upwards and slapped her palms beneath the trapped Baby Gohan as if he were a volleyball.
Lapis kicked diagonally down against the ball sending him back to 16.
The Android simply punched the ball back.
Lazuli spun kic the ball back to Lapis.
And the enhanced Android brought his fists back, there were no more people in Pepper Town, they either fled or died. It was safe to destroy. He double axe handled on top of Baby sending the parasite down to Pepper Town.
Just as Baby was about to hit the ground he managed to break free from his prison before he could touch it.
The three other Androids looked surprised as the enhanced clone of Gohan broke free at the last second.
'Gohan' vanished and appeared behind Lapis.
"Been meaning to decide who to do this to first." He said chuckling.
Lapis freaked out and turned around with a fist.
Baby Gohan had caught his fist and pulled his arm close to him and elbowed down his arm.
Everyone looked shocked, it happened so fast no one could've seen it coming.
Lapis's eyes widened, in all his years he's never felt pain quite like this.
'Gohan' grinned cockily as he floated back admiring what he was seeing. He was holding up an arm with a white sleeve covering it.
The Cyborg looked to his left as if to confirm if it was real. His left arm was missing. He grabbed his injury and screamed. "AHHHH!"
For more fun Baby spoke with Gohan's voice. "You reap what you sow."
Lazuli appeared behind him and tried to double-ax handle him.
'Gohan' rose his right arm still holding Lapi's severed arm to block Lazuli's strike from behind.
16 arose from the ground to try to uppercut Baby Gohan.
But the parasite swayed his head back hitting Lazuli's nose from behind, he then ax kicked down 16's head sending him to the ground. He swiftly turned around to grab one of Lazuli's arms and rose his arm carrying Lapis's severed arm.
Before he could repeat what he did with Lapis the brunette rocket kicked Baby Gohan's head sending him flying letting go of the severed limb letting it fall to the ground.
Lapis floated before his sister groaning from the pain of his missing arm.
"Lapis!" His sister shouted holding her brother. "We need to go now!"
"N-no!" Lapis shouted looking at 'Gohan'. "S-Sixteen needs us!"
The Android Super Saiyan grinned as he looked at 16 whose face was repaired.
16 glances up at the twins and nods his head before focusing on Baby Gohan.
"Look, Trunks he's on his way!" Lazuli said. "Let's find your arm and get out of here, 16 can hold him off long enough!"
Lapis wanted to argue but he knew she was right, Trunks was their best bet. "F-fine but leave the arm, n-no time."
She hesitantly nodded and flew off
'Gohan's eyes glanced over at the cyborgs and in a different direction. There was no time, Trunks was on his way.
16 fired his Rocket Punches at him.
Then 'Gohan' pushes them aside and before the Android could replace his hands the clone appeared in front of 16 and kicks him in the chest. He then vanished and right-hand chops 16's head-chopping it off, then he swept kicked the headless 16, then he kicks his broken body up towards Lapis and Lazuli.
Lapis and Lazuli see 16's headless legless body in front of them to their horror.
And even worse Baby Gohan appeared as well and slammed his elbow on 16's back sending him to the ground creating a massive crater in the center of Pepper Town.
16's body was already in the process of repairing itself, but it won't be whole for a while.
'Gohan' looked at the twins with the same expression the original gave them in their final bout. "It's time for this to end."
Lazuli brought her hands out trying to do a Solar Flare.
But 'Gohan' saw it coming and grabbed one of her legs and slammed him on Lapis bringing the sibling duo down on top of a building slamming them on each other. "Ka, Me" He started to chant the familiar technique and backflipped. "Ha Me" He landed and prepped his right arm with blue energy.
As the blue ball grew in his arms, Baby began to access the energy gathered from the clones that had died. All the other clones' energies were pouring into him and he began to undergo slight but powerful changes.
His golden Aura changed to pink. His hair changed from gold to a ghostly white, his pupils changed back to black, red lines were formed on his face his eyes had a thin red cross in them with his black pupils in the center.
Though the transformation was slightly different his power had increased dramatically and he intended to use it.
"Ha!" He trusted his arm forward
The twins looked to see the powerful Kamehameha wave heading toward them. They couldn't move too injured.
Not far away Trunks is in view flying at full speeds making it only in time to see the blast seemingly taking his wife and brother-in-law. He couldn't do anything he just got there in time to see it. As Baby floated with one arm aimed where he fired his blast, he smirked as he sensed the one he was waiting for. He spoke in Gohan's voice. "You came, it's about time."
Trunks' face was distraught from seeing Lapis and Lazuli obliterated and the man he looked up to standing in a strange transformation.
Baby turned around and had the Son grin on his face. "Trunks!" He yelled in Gohan's voice. "It's over we won!" He yelled enthusiastically as if it was actually Gohan who had destroyed 17 and 18 all those years ago.
Trunks felt enraged at the sight, at the sound of Baby using his mentor's voice. He looked different with the white hair and ride lines on his face and in his eyes but he looked similar enough to Gohan as a Super Saiyan.
"Come on Trunks!" 'Gohan' yelled. "Let's go see your mother! I'm sure she's been worried about you!"
The half Saiyan was overwhelmed by rage and grief. Grief from Lapis and Lazuli and not making it on time, grief for losing Gohan to the Androids. It was too much to contemplate, just seeing Gohan with a slightly different appearance pushed his rage to unknown heights. Growing up, he had dreams of this outcome, to see Gohan, the real Gohan standing victorious after finally destroying the Androids, it was like he was having that dream in real life, only now it was a nightmare! One that he wanted to end desperately!
"Trunks? What's wrong? We did it don't you get it? It's finally over!" He was still using Gohan's voice. On the inside Baby was cackling enjoying what he was doing to the grandson of King Vegeta.
Trunks roared in rage powering up to his Ultimate Form in full power. He's never felt so much rage for anyone or anything in his life. He vows that he will end this nightmare here and now!
Just so were all clear, Trunks could've destroyed Vegeta's clone sooner, the only reason he didn't was that destroying it would send it's energy to Gohan and vice versa so they tried to kill them at the same time.
So Trunks isn't necessarily doomed, buuut well. You'll have to wait for the next chapter.

Review Responces.
Sunshine12393: Thank you!
Ya, it was hard to write to.
Thank you I've been wanting to write that scene since the beginning of the saga.
My story is worth a 2nd read? Wow, thank u that's very flatering my goal has been to make it worth one read so thx for the compliment, I hope I can keep making it enjoyable for u.
I-Love-Trunks1: Thank you!
AxDevilman:
No prob dude!
Yep! Thx, glad u enjoyed it!
Im so happy I made 16 quite the beast in this story.
Cooler's family has a history of surviving some ridiculous things, glad u liked it!
I sure did! This chapter probably fuels the hate even more. Btw I did have a worse plan for ChiChi when I thought of this arc. It ended up being too cruel and depressing so what u saw last chapter is what I feel is toned down and in my opinion better for the story, I'll explain what it was exactly once the saga is finished.
Sure u ain't the only one, Baby needs to go. Glad u like Royal Blade, what better way for someone pretending to be Saiyan Royalty to go is there!
Thx! Ya I'm fine, Im not used to writing heavy stuff like that, thx for the concern though!
Shadowwriter01: Thank u, it was one of the chapters I both dreaded and was looking forward to writing since I started the Baby Saga.
I'm glad how I utilized ChiChi worked for you, I wanted to have her be impactful whenever I show her in this story. If Lapis and Lazuli were able to show up a bit sooner, ChiChi would've been instrumental in taking out what would be the greatest threat they've faced. But as u said it didn't work out.
Yep, I was a little too proud when I wrote that line. Yep, it's really twisted, this time Lapis and Lazuli are in complete control of themselves, while Gohan is not. I had to pu that line.
Yes, I wanted to show that the truffle eggs implanted in him combined with his Android Saga mindset, made him the biggest hippocrite among the clones. The points you made were pretty much what I wanted people to notice.
SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: PM'd u. Glad u enjoyed it, that was my favorite fight in Z .
And yes, I was hoping someone would catch that. Also forgot to say this in the PM, but it's also inspired by the energy blade SSG Trunks uses in Dragon Ball Heroes.
Alright everyone, guess that's it. U know the usual in the reviews let me know what u think, ideas, criticisms, questions, and concerns. Hope your looking forward to the next chapter.
Have ana awesome day! :)
