Hey guys sorry for the long wait work has been stressful. Hope u guys enjoy.

The Plan Begins

Trunks had his arms crossed watching seriously as the two boys performed strange movements.

Joyaku and Shorz were excited to learn this new technique that Trunks had learned from other world.

Though they couldn't help but be dissapointed seeing how it was done.

They expected something truly awe inspiring but isntead all they got were these weird movements but after seeing the results they quickly adapted to the training.

After a while the two were sitting in front of Trunks.

"Very good." He said to them. "You were completely in sync and should be able to do it in any situation."

It will come in handy should they have to fight and not rely on them for their safety.

The cousins nodded and sat on the ground exhausted from their training.

This technique was truly amazing and that lead Shorz to ask.

"Hey dad, how come you didn't use this on Baby?"

Yes, they had enough warriors to use the technique, so it was strange knowing they didn't use it.

"We thought about it, but Baby's possession made it too risky." He explained to them. "If we did use it gives him the chance to possess two of us at once and then we'd have a bigger problem."

He imagined what would have happened if Baby had Gohan's clone body and two of their friends alongside him.

He would have been unstoppable.

Still, he can't help but think if they had, would 16 have been alive?

He sighed, it was too late now, if they get the option, they will use this technique even if Lapis doesn't like it, they wouldn't want to lose anyone else, temporary or not.

"Well thanks for teaching us uncle." Joyaku said as he stood up. "Maybe next time we can use it on you."

"Yeah!" Shorz got up smiling.

Trunks chuckled seeing the two kids eager to test out their new technique. Just then he turned to see someone coming.

It was Iolite landing in front of Trunks in her green outfit.

"Iolite, you're on time, how was school?" He asked.

"Eh" She shrugged her shoulders.

"Hi sis!" Shorz yelled running up to Iolite.

The lavender-haired girl knelt down and patted her brother's hair. "Hey Shorz, how was training did dad teach you the technique?"

"Yeah, he sure did, maybe Joyaku and I can finally beat you!"

Iolite giggled at her brother's enthusiasm and ruffled his hair much to his annoyance.

"We should test that theory sometime." She said to him and looked to her father.

"Ready for today?" Trunks asked expecting his daughter to want to spar.

"Yeah, but first, I got to ask you something." She said to him.

The half Saiyan was confused wondering what it could be.

This had been something on the back of her mind for a while.

"Is there a way to reach a transformation above Super Saiyan 2?"

Trunks was surprised by the question but answered.

"Do you mean like my Ultimate Form?" He asked. "I mean if you want I can try to ask Dende to contact Elder Kai to help with that."

It would be a good idea to awaken her hidden potential she would be stronger than he was when he fought Baby, maybe just maybe on par with him.

"No" Iolite said to him. "It's tempting but I wanted to know if maybe there's a form through Super Saiyan I can get."

Trunks put a hand to his chin.

"So wait you want a new form but don't want the Ultimate Form? Why, I'm sure that it would be easier to increase your strength."

"I know dad, but I want to go further with Super Saiyan to see if there's anything above it." She reasoned. "Your Ultimate Form is great and all but I want a form that's mine, one that I can train for, do you know what I mean?"

Trunks heard this and thought of something. During his time in otherworld his father and Goku did show him something.

"That's kinda dumb though." Joyaku butted in. "I mean if your dad has a great form I don't know why you wouldn't want it."

"Hey that's not dumb." Shorz said defending his sister. "I think it's cool that she wants her own form."

Iolite felt slightly embarrassed thinking maybe it was dumb that she was asking this isntead of just taking her father's form.

"No" Trunks said to them. "There's nothing wrong with wanting to pursue your own path to strength." In fact, Trunks kind of wished he had gone down that route, the only reason his Saiyan instincts weren't against Elder Kai's help or his mother's project is because it is pulling out his body's potential, not just increasing his strength artificially.

Still, he wondered if he could have gotten this strong by simply training.

"Iolite" Trunks began. "There is a third form of Super Saiyan."

"Really?" She asked excitingly.

"No way!" Joyaku yelled.

While Shorz had stars in his eyes wondering what this form would look like.

"Yes, during my time in otherworld, Goku and your grandfather Vegeta showed me the third state, Super Saiyan 3."

The kind of power they had was monsterous, he couldn't believe the amount of power they acheieved in otherworld.

"But wait" Iolite began. "If you knew about it then how come you never got it."

Her father had always been training so it was hard to believe that he didn't get it.

"I tried, I trained everyday to pursue the form, there were times where I felt something deep just waiting to be used."

He thought of a time he felt something within, a deeper pool of power that he didn't think was possible.

"But no matter what I did I can never acsess it, Goku did warn me that he was only able to acheive the form because his otherworld body was more durable than a living one."

He remembered that form, the long spikey golden hair the fearsome looks on their faces. Maybe if he had trained more, he could have gotten the form.

Iolite looked discouraged hearing him say that.

But Trunks placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You never know though, I mean look at you, only 16 years old your strong enough to fight me with transformations and won a sparring match against your mother, with the right training, maybe you can do what I couldn't."

Iolite heard this and smirked in a way that would have made Vegeta proud.

"I'll do my best to reach it and keep up with you!"

Trunks smiled proud of his daughter and looking forward to seeing how far she can go.

Bulma was smiling happily as she was going to work. Finally, it took ten years but now their family was going to regain someone special.

Someone who could not be revived with the dragon balls.

While working she pressed a button to be sure.

"Hello?" She asked. "16?"

The robot didn't say anything.

She sighed, this was why she didn't want to say anything to her family, she didn't want to give them false hope.

"Bulma?"

A familiar robotic voice responded.

Bulma smiled hearing that and seeing the Android start to move.

"16! Yes, your back!" She said laughing with a tear forming in her eye.

She could not believe it, she had been able to do it.

Now she had to inform the family!

Though 16's return was celebrated from the depths of the Demon Realm, his vision can be seen on the screen in a laboratory.

17 and 18 were strapped on separate tables, both fully conscious watching the camera while 21 was operating on them and working on their power cores.

"That old bat is Bulma?" 18 scoffed. "The years haven't been kind."

17 had a different reaction, looking at the smile this woman was giving. That annoyed him greatly.

"What is wrong with this Android? This woman should be running in fear." Seriously, where did Dr. Gero go wrong in making him?

Towa turned to 17 and smiled. "If you think that's annoying wait until you see the rest of the Androids."

18 rolled her eyes as 21 kept working on her arm.

"Yeah I'm sure, we're going to see ourselves working with that little punk." She almost wanted to vomit thinking of her working with that weakling.

Towa chuckled.

"What?" The Android asked.

"It's actually worse than that, there's something we haven't told you."

The Cyborg glanced at 21.

She merely shrugged her shoulders. "Just keep watching, it's better if you see for yourself."

17 and 18 glanced at each other wondering what they meant when they said it would be worse.

What's worse than joining that weakling?

Trunks, Shorz, Joyaku and Iolite all flew in front of Capsule corporation.

As did Zangya, Lapis and Lazuli.

"Mom" Iolite said walking towards Lazuli. "Any idea why Grandma call us?"

"I thought you would know." She said to her.

Trunks got worried, no one had been told why they needed to get here, only that it was urgent. Was there a new threat coming to earth?

"This woman." Zangya crossed her arms. "I was in the middle of shopping, the least she can do is tell us what was going on over the phone."

Lapis placed an arm on her shoulder to help ease her in the situation.

None of the Z-fighters seemed happy with the way Bulma was presenting everything, they waited until the garage to her laboratory opened.

Out walked Bulma with a smile on her face.

This confused everyone, and Lazuli even thought that another parasite like Baby had come.

"Mom?" Trunks started. "What's going on, why did you call us?"

Bulma smiled and walked to Trunks. "Listen everyone, I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but I didn't want to give anyone false hope in case I couldn't do it, but I did it." She said to them. "I brought him back."

"Who?" Iolite asked while the two children looked at each other wondering what was going on.

Bulma gestured behind her and her smile brightened.

A large shadowy figure walked out of the laboratory.

Shorz and Joyaku were a bit confused wondering who this man was but they both had seen pictures of and were told of stories of him.

Trunks didn't say anything but once he had been brought to the light his eyes widened.

Lapis, Lazuli, and Zangya had a similar reaction.

Iolite's eyes started to water.

The one who stepped out was a very familiar Android.

A large man with a red mow hawk, he was dressed in green and black armor on him had stepped out of the laboratory.

Iolite stepped forward and looked up at the giant.

"16?" She started. "Uncle 16, is that really you?" A tear started to shed from her eyes.

16 looked at the young woman up and down and smiled. "Iolite, you have grown up."

Iolite's eyes widened when she heard that robotic voice and smiled before running and gripping the large Android in a hug as wide as her arms can.

16 looked down at the girl he had seen from when she was a small child and placed a hand on her head, he then looked to the rest of the group, the rest of his family.

Trunks stepped forward and looked at 16. "I don't believe it, 16 that's really you right?"

"Yes, it is." He then looked to Lapis, Lazuli, and Zangya. "Zangya, I am happy to see that you have settled here." He said looking down at the boy by her leg that looked like Lapis.

Zangya felt similar feelings that Iolite had, the first friend she made here on Earth during her probation, the one who trusted her to get stronger. She walked forward.

"You, big lug, you really are back." She walked forward and greeted her with hug of her own after Iolite had barely been pulled away.

16 felt elated to see them all, he had thought he would permanently cease functioning.

"It is wonderful to see you all again."

The group all got closer to 16 happy to see their friend and family reunited.

16 knelt to the two children that he was not around.

"Your Android 16?" Joyaku asked. "I heard about you from my parents. Mom said you were the nicest person she ever met, dad said you were the strongest Android, and she was sad that you didn't get to stay."

Zangya coughed. "Joyaku be more subtle." Blushing from how much she missed him.

Lapis chuckled. "Was the strongest." Though he didn't care about that he was happy to see him as much as everyone else.

"Wow, so cool." Shorz said to him. "Hey 16 or, um uncle 16 it's nice to meet you, my sis and parents told me everything about you."

16 smiled looking down at the children.

"I'm happy to see their families have grown." He looked at them both and turned towards the couples. "They look just like you."

Trunks and co all laughed happy to see that they all were overjoyed to see him back.

"Come on guys! Let's party!" Bulma yelled wanting to celebrate the return of the beloved Android.

Of course little did they know, 16 was now an asset to their enemies.

While they were watching the reunion, both 17 and 18 had one thing on their minds.

17 focused on the little boy with orange hair and pointy ears, standing so close to this version of him in a different outfit, along with a girl with teal green skin and orange hair.

"The hell is going on?"

He asked in a disgusted tone.

18 could not take her eyes off the girl with hair that is a familiar shade of purple.

"Who is she?" She asked with a glare. "And why does she look like me?" She squeezed her fists so hard that blood dripped from her palms.

That face, those eyes... they were hers!

That hair... it was his!

They told her that these versions of themselves lost their programming but even then, she wouldn't have had kids. Especially not with that little brat!

She wouldn't. Would she?

"I think you can piece together who they are." 21 said as she held a tool over her arm and smiled at her face. "She looks like her mother, doesn't she?" She said with a toothy grin.

18 lost it, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her close even then 21 didn't react to it.

Towa raised her staff, but 21 held a hand up.

"This is a trick." The Cyborg declared. "It's a lie, tell me it's a lie!" The sight of this was disgusting.

21 kept a smile as if her life wasn't in danger.

"Sorry to tell you but it looks like without your programming you got a thing for organics." She said to her and glanced at Trunks with a goatee. "And I got to say he's quite a delicious looking snack." She licked her lips, but not in a lustful way more in a hunger way.

18 pushed her away and got up from her lab table.

"It's a lie." She said to her and saw how close her counterpart was to Trunks, she was holding his arm, and by her side she was holding a young boy, with half of her hair color and half of that punk!

17 chuckled at the sight.

"Funny I thought you were into short guys." He joked.

"Shut up!" 18 yelled glaring at him.

"Relax sis, look, I'm not happy about this either." He replied looking at the boy on the screen. "I mean what Android would make life with any living organism? It is disgusting to see a version of myself with that thing even if she is not from earth."

Just the thought made him want to gut that boy along with his other self and that green woman.

"At least you don't see yourself with that miserable punk!" She yelled at him and squeezed her fists. What happened, does removing her programming reduce her to this? "Get us out of here."

Towa looked at 18 surprised to see her rage at the sight of the children, she was hoping they would react negatively but not to this extent.

"You heard me!" She yelled. "Get us out of here now! I need to wipe these brats out of existence! Just thinking about them makes my skin crawl!"

21 placed a hand on her shoulder. "You will have your time, but right now I need to keep working on you." She gestured 18 to the table.

The Android glared not wanting to wait any longer.

"The procedure's almost done, I just need to press a button and it will begin increasing your strength." She said to her. "And it's not including the extra Towa promised you."

18 glanced at Towa who smiled then back to her brother who nodded.

Begrudgingly she lay down but glared at the screen resisting the urge to destroy the monitor that was important to their shared goal.

"Now you two, the manual part of your enhancements is done, your bodies are now strong enough to withstand far more energy than you have now, you just need to lay under this light, and it should increase your artificial Ki reserves to untold heights."

"And we'll be as strong as our counterparts?"

21 grinned at them. "Even with Kaioken." She said to them and glanced at her partner. "And Towa's help will take your power even further."

17 and even the enraged 18 grinned hearing that. They'll be able to gain untold power and make Trunks pay for turning alternate versions of themselves into these insults!

The two eagerly waited for their power to turn up.

As the light above them showered them with energy they felt themselves gaining strength. Soon they will be brought to their rightful place, and everything will be the way it should be.

Trunks dead at their feet along with those brats they had created.

Towa and 21 left the two to increase their power.

"Now that Androids 13-15 have gotten you the energy you needed for your Mira is it finally time?"

The demon said nothing for a few moments.

"That depends on can I trust you to only act at the agreed time?"

"Come on I know the plan." 21 said smiling. "Go to one of the labs, set up shop and then have their strengths measured."

"And not right away." Towa pointed out.

"Come on partner." 21 said to her. "Haven't I been good so far?"

Towa put a finger on her chin and realized she had a point. She definitely had been cooperative so far. And besides, this part of the plan can only benefit them.

"Very well"

21 giggled and smiled evily.

"Great, come on boys, ready for the fun?"

13 chuckled while 14 and 15 followed 21 towards a portal.

But 21 stopped for a moment and turned to Towa.

"But just to clarify, you're willing to get another friend of mine, right?"

Towa knew who she was talking about and nodded her head. She was looking forward to giving this creature a second chance.

21 giggled and walked through the portal along with her Androids.

While she left Towa looked at 17 and 18 on their tables watching them gain more and more power from the generator.

She also turned back to her side of the lab.

On separate tables was an identical pair of 17 and 18.

She smirked just thinking of the plans she and 21 had created.

Not only will she have far more powerful versions of 17 and 18 by her side.

But she also had a few more pawns to help with her plans.

She looked at the screen next to the one showing Trunks and his idiots celebrating with 16.

On the side it showed the timeline where she had taken 17 and 18.

There were so many pawns to collect for her to win the game.

And the most important one.

An image of an Imperfect Android being destroyed by a version of Trunks.

While her ultimate goal was to create Mira, she was looking forward to this creation.

This Android will reach beyond its true potential.

Beyond Perfection.

Back on earth the Z-fighters celebrated 16 being brought back to life.

They all went to Lapis's island.

16 was petting a rare dinosaur while Joyaku was at his shoulder and Zangya at his side.

Trunks smiled at the sight of their family reunited.

Lazuli grabbed his shoulder and the two embraced happy to see all this.

16 turned to look at Iolite, the little girl that had grown to a young woman smiling at him.

"Uncle 16! Remember that striped panda you saved, she had babies wanna go see?"

The Android smiled and nodded.

The Android followed Iolite while being taken there.

He smiled the whole time, happy to continue functioning.

Or rather to continue his new life.

Little did he know he was sending data to their enemies.

This is what many call the calm before the storm.

Ok so the action is definitely going to start in the next chapter.

Like I said this will be the final arc of the story, I'm not sure how long it will be but I do intend to have it memorable.

And also I intend on this arc leading tinto a new story a spin off of this story once it endsh.

Hope u guys look forward to it.

Review Responces

ki76: Thank u for the suggestion.

Obcorbino2146: This story started years before the Goku black arc and even before battle of gods was announced.

shadowwriter01:Thx

Lol I really should've made him a comedic recurring villain that gets destroyed with less effort every arc like Rocha thought.

Demigra will have an impact we'll see if he appears.

Glad u approved of the spar.

Guest: No it's kinda like Gohan in heroes he has the forth form but no Super Saiyan 3.

SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: Maybe he will definitely be a factor in the arc.
