In the middle of a wasteland, the ground shook and cracked under the pressure of two powerful warriors clashing against each other. Cress and 18 sparred with each other as they clashed the ground cracked even more than before. Cress flew away from 18 who decided to chase after her which ended up being a bad idea since Cress vanished before her eyes and she reappeared right in front of her. Cress kicked 18 in her stomach with enough force to send her flying into the ground. She watched as dust covered the area where 18 landed and she slowly descended enough to get a better look. When she noticed no movement in the dust she started to wonder if she put too much power behind that kick. "Did I knock her out by accident?" Cress said to herself.

Suddenly, she heard something crumbling behind her and Cress quickly looked back to see 18 inches away from her. Before Cress could counter, she was kneed in the gut which knocked the wind out of her but she was able to recover quickly. Cress tried to punch her but 18 grabbed her arm before spinning her around a few times and throwing Cress into the ground. 18 slowly floated down to Cress who was picking herself off the ground and dusting off her clothes. "I think that's enough for today."

"Good..."

"I'm glad you came, 18. I've gotten stronger a lot quicker thanks to you."

"Whatever. I only did so because I had nothing better to do."

"Well, regardless, I'm glad you came. It's nice to spend some time with you." Cress said with a smile that made 18's heart skip a beat. Though Cress failed to notice to the very faint blush on 18's cheeks since she looked away in a huff. "We should go home."

"That reminds me." 18 said before Cress flew off to home.

"What?"

"We really should move. I'm tired of doing nothing."

"Um, okay. But we don't really have that much money."

"Well then, we're just gonna have to find some way to get money now, will we?"

"Yeah... I could try to find those wish granting orbs. You know, the Dragon Balls."

"That could work, although, it would be a pain to find them all."

"I guess I'll just have to ask Krillin how they find them," Cress said as she and 18 flew up towards the sky. "I'll see back home," Cress said as she took off in a different direction than the way 18 went.

Cress arrived at Kame house since she was told that if she wanted to find Krillin this is the first place to look. Cress slowly floated down towards the small island and once she touched down, Cress stared at the small house for few seconds before calling out to Krillin. "Hey! Krillin! Are you here?" Cress waited for a while until she noticed the front door open up to reveal the person she was looking for.

"Cress? Did you need something?"

"Yes, I wanted to ask you a question."

"Alright, shoot."

"I was wondering how do you found those Dragon Balls?"

"Oh, we use the Dragon Radar to look for them."

"The Dragon Radar? So, if I had this Dragon Radar I would be able to find the Dragon Balls?"

"Yeah, so why the sudden interest in the Dragon Balls?"

"18 wants to move. I don't really have a way to make any money, so I was thinking of using the Dragon Balls."

"Oh, I see. Well, I could go ask Bulma for the Dragon Radar, but even then, it wouldn't work."

"Really? Why?"

"It hasn't even been a year since we last used them."

"Oh, I didn't know that was a thing." Cress sighed a little after her plan was over. "There's something else I wanted to ask?"

"Okay, what?"

"What happened to that other Saiyan?"

"The other Saiyan? Do you mean Goku or Vegeta?"

"No, not them. I mean the one that uses a sword... I mean used to use a sword."

"Oh, Trunks! Yeah, he went back to the future."

"The future? You mean, he's like a time traveller?"

"Yeah," Krillin said as he started to explain everything about Trunks coming from the future. "That's why he came to the past."

"17 and 18 are wrecking the future, and they killed everyone there?"

"Yeah, that's what happened."

"What about the future me?"

"I don't know. Trunks said he never saw you in the future."

"Huh? I wonder what happened to the future me?"

17 Years Later

In the rocky mountains, a group of three people tried to find someplace they could stay and be safe from the threat of the Androids. One of them in the group was male while the other two are female, and two of them are blonde and the last has black hair. All three of them were extremely weak since they've been on the move for some time and there hasn't been a town full of people in a while. That meant the group was pretty malnourished and were slightly dehydrated. The black haired girl was helped by her friends while they travelled since she was too weak to walk on her own. While in their travels they came across a ruined lab of sorts since it looked like computers and other sorts of stuff covered the place. Though the place was destroyed there were some things still intact nothing useful for them to survive, but there was one thing that caught the raven-haired girl's attention. A pod with the number 21 on it and she was about to go investigate it until she heard one of her friends speak up.

"Videl, are you sure we should be here?"

"It's... it's fine, Erasa." Videl tried to reassure her as she walked closer to the pod and when she looked inside through the glass, she gasped when noticed that someone is inside. "There's someone in here!"

"What are you doing, Videl?"

"I want to help... whoever is in here... Sharpener."

"You should take it easy, Videl. You're not well. It was a bad idea to come here in the first place." Erasa said as Videl pushed a red button and the pod very slowly opened, just like Videl said, a person was inside. Before the pod door could be opened fully a fist came out and knocked the door off its hinges. They all watched as the person stepped out of the pod and began to stretch her muscles before turning her attention back to the pod.

"Hmm... If I was in that pod for any longer I wouldn't have made it."

"Who... are you?" Videl weakly asked.

"I'm Android 21." She answered. (AN: I'm going to refer her to as 21 during this part.)

21 noticed that they had this look of fear on their faces as they slowly backed away from her. 21 smirked as she found it pretty amusing from the fear they were showing. "Anyway, you rescued me from the pod, I guess I owe you a favour. Whatever it is I'll grant it."

"Whatever we want...?"

"Yes... and from the looks of it, I'm guessing you want me to save your lives? Although, judging from your appearance and my scans. You won't be able to make it before I find help."

"I... want you to... take you out the Androids."

"The Androids?" 21 repeated. 'She must be referring to 17 and 18.'

"Yes, the Androids."

"By 'Take out' you mean you want me to kill them?"

"Yes..."

"Videl! You can't ask her to kill the Androids! They're just... too strong. No one can defeat them." Erasa said.

"If she's... an Android then that must... mean she's just as strong as they are."

"I'm actually stronger than them."

"What?! Do you mean it?!" Sharpener said.

"Yeah, I'm serious." 21 said. "Is there anything else you want? I mean you did save my life."

"I... know I'm not going to make it... Can you get these two out of here?"

"N-No! We can't leave you!" Erasa said.

21 crossed her arms as she stared off into the distance as the two friends were trying to convince to come but she didn't let them convince her. 21's thoughts went to the Android twins and how she was going to kill them. The only plan that she came up with was to keep them separate so they wouldn't be able to team up. Thinking that's the only way to beat them, 21 turned her attention back to the others and noticed they were crying since Videl wasn't moving at all. 'Huh... I thought she had more time than that. Oh, well.'

"I can't believe she's gone. After everything we've been through." Sharpener said in disbelief.

"Videl..."

"Alright, come on! It was her dying wish that I get you two out of here." 21 said as they nodded slowly as they walked over to her.

"How are we going to get out of here? Are we going to walk?" Erasa asked.

"No. Come over here." 21 said as Erasa did exactly as she said as she stood in front of the Android and she began to wonder what sort plan she had. She gasped a little when 21 pulled her closer to her body and she looked towards the Sharpener. "You. Grab on. I would hold on tight if I were you."

"Why-?! Whoa!" Sharpener said as 21 started to slowly float up which he tightened his grip feeling a little fearful while Erasa wrapped her arms around the Android's neck tightly and closed her eyes since they were pretty high off the ground.

Parsley City

On the outskirts of Parsley City Android 21 slowly floated down as both Erasa and Sharpener quickly let go of her. They looked pretty confused that they were just in the mountains and not in the city that they could see. "Why didn't you just drop us off at that city?"

"Because of that..." 21 pointed towards the city as suddenly the ground started shaking uncontrollably and both Erasa and Sharpener nearly fell over from how sudden it was. They regained their balance and they looked towards where she was pointing and gasped since they stared at the city while pink explosions had destroyed several buildings.

"N-No! The Androids..." Erasa said.

"I didn't think I could fulfill my debt this quickly." 21 said as she floated up leaving the two behind and flew over to where the Androids are.

17 watched as his sister 18 repeatedly fired energy blasts at the buildings in a way to relieve stress and 17 was about to say something until he heard something land behind him. He turned around to see woman smirking at both of them and he noticed the Red Ribbon Army symbol on her jacket. "Who are you?" 17 asked as 18 stopped blowing up the buildings and turned her attention to the new arrival.

"I'm Android 21, and I'm here to destroy you both."

"An Android? Why fight each other? We're all Androids here, we should just join forces." 17 said.

"Maybe I would have accepted such proposal before, but you two left me to die in that pod. Besides, I own somebody and they want you dead." 21 said as she charged at them and elbowing 17 in the gut knocking the wind out of him. She kicked him away before tossing an energy blast at him which exploded on contact. 18 tried to fight back but 21 grabbed her fist before slamming her into the ground and throwing her into the nearby building. 18 pushed the rubble off of her and she growled angrily before got up to fight against 21. 18 gasped when 21 appeared in front of her with tremendous speed and she grabbed 18 before slamming her into the floor sending her to the bottom floor. 21 started repeatedly punching 18 into the ground which caused the building to collapse from the force of her punches and suddenly her brother showed up from the cloud of dust.

"Why you!" 17 shouted as he threw a punch but 21 dodged and grabbed it to his surprise. 21 spun 17 around before slamming him on top of 18 who tried to help and she slammed an energy blast into 17's stomach sending him flying. 21 brought her hand right in front of 18's face and a ball of energy formed. Just before 21 launched it 18 let out a scream as the blast destroyed her. 17 recovered from the attack and he looked over to where 21 was to see a cloud of dust. He watched as 21 slowly fly out of the dust cloud before turning towards him.

"You're next." 21 said as she charged at him who let out a frustrated growl and he punched her multiple times before she grabbed his fist. She kicked him with enough force to send him flying and before he could hit anything she grabbed his shirt. 21 kneed 17 into the stomach before bringing her hand to his back and a ball of energy. 17 tried to struggle but before he could do anything an energy wave pierced through his chest and 21 loosened her grip letting the Android fall to the ground. 21 brought her hands together until a powerful energy blast formed and Android 21 threw it at where 17 landed destroying him like his sister. 21 was about to leave to go and find those friends of Videl so she can get them somewhere they can survive but she stopped when someone with golden spiky hair was staring at her.

"What happened to the Androids?"

"I destroyed them." When 21 said that it seemed to surprise him a little bit but whatever he was thinking quickly vanished.

"You're Android 21, correct?" Trunks said.

"Yeah. How did you know?"

"I'll explain everything if you follow me."

"I'm honestly curious how you knew about me. Alright, I'll follow but I need to go get someone."

"Someone?" Trunks questioned as 21 flew off towards the mountains and he decided to follow to see who she's talking about.

Present

Cress sat inside Kame house chatting with Krillin the whole time she was here and he was telling her tales of his adventures from the moment he met Goku and all the way to some planet called Namek where he was killed by Frieza. Having heard that he was killed by some evil bastard caused some anger to flare up a little but it quickly subsided. Cress noticed that the look on Krillin's face which seemed pretty distressed so she decided to end their talk right there. "I should get going now."

"...Right. I'll see you later."

"Yeah..." Just as Cress stood up from and was ready to leave something on the TV caught her attention. It was an announcement for something called an Intergalactic Tournament and suddenly an idea popped in her head. If it was a tournament than that meant prize money and she now knew how to get money quick without the Dragon Balls.
