Hello all Storm here with a new story idea from "The Sith'ari"! Nothing else much to say other than hope you enjoy the idea. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'It feels good to be home.' Moori, the new Namekian Grand Elder, thought as he and his people appeared on New Namek, having been teleported here from Earth, thanks to Porunga.
Granted, it wasn't their original home, but looking around, Moori could see everyone was happy at seeing how similar it was to the original Namek. And now they could begin rebuilding their villages and homes, to truly make New Namek their home.
'And then we can once again divide up and safeguard the Dragon Balls." Moori thought, looking at the now stone Dragon Balls, lying dormant after all three wishes were used.
Pushing those thoughts aside, for the moment, Moori turned to address his people, so they could begin deciding where to set up the new villages.
Though unknown to Moori and the rest of the Namekians, they had taken some hitchhikers along with them to their planet. Mini Capsule Bots, no bigger than flies, attached themselves to the Namekian's clothing, having hidden themselves in spots where they wouldn't be spotted.
What all the bots had in common, was a logo painted them on.
A red ribbon with two R's inside it.
*Timeskip – One Year*
A year has passed, since the Namekians had arrived on New Namek, and they have made the most of their time. They have already succeeded in setting up outposts for where the villages will be built, built several buildings, and begun growing crops.
Now though, the Dragon Balls were once again active, meaning it was time to divide them amongst the tribes. This had all the Namekians gather together, so they could decide which tribes would receive which a Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, due to one of the tribes being wiped out by Vegeta, and thus weren't revived with the rest of the Namekians, they had to decide which tribe would look after two Dragon Balls.
However, before the Elders could begin discussing this, the Capsule Bots suddenly activated and flew off the Namekians.
"What? Are those Capsules?" Moori said, frowning recognizing the devices from their time on Earth, but was confused as to why they were here.
Though their confusion quickly turned to fear and horror, when the Capsules activated and released their contents. That being massive white and black Androids, with glowing lights in the black voids of their chests, with the Red Ribbon Army logo on them.
Immediately, the Namekian fighters jumped in front of the Elders ready for a fight, only for the Androids to quickly subdue them and the Elders. The fighters tried struggling against the Androids, only to be met with painful shocks shooting through their bodies.
Knowing they couldn't escape; the Elders and fighters could only watch helplessly as more Androids arrived, with the rest of the Namekians. Once all the Namekians were gathered together and restrained, one of the Androids moved in front of them as its eye glowed blue, before releasing a hologram of an elderly man.
The man had slightly tanned skin, blue eyes, a large bushy white mustache, and long hair. He also has a Red Ribbon Army logo located on the hat. His clothing is black, with orange sections at the upper arms, and light yellow sleeves at the lower arms. His pants are dark brown, and his shoes are black and white.
"Who, who are you?" Moori questioned, angry that once again, his people were being held captive and threatened by a mad man.
"My name is Dr. Gero, a Scientist of the once illustrious Red Ribbon Army. These Androids you see before you are of my own creation, the Meklords, created specifically for the purpose of restraining you Namekians." Said Gero, before looking towards the Dragon Balls and smirking.
"Why are you here? What purpose could you have to attack us?" Said Moori, knowing it involved the Dragon Balls by the way Gero was looking at them.
"Hm, I suppose I could tell you; since it won't really matter in a few moments, anyway. You see, as I said I was a Scientist of the Red Ribbon Army, working to create powerful Androids all with the goal of collecting the Dragon Balls on Earth, and use them to conquer the world. Unfortunately, the Red Ribbon Army was destroyed many years ago by someone you all are quite familiar with, the Saiyan, Son Goku. He attacked the Red Ribbon Army, killing everyone, including my son!" Gero shouted, with his rage spiking at the mention of the man who murdered his son, with the Meklords shocking the Namekians as a result of the Doctor's anger.
Taking a moment to regain his calm composure, Gero addressed the Namekians again.
"After that, I spent years plotting my revenge against Son Goku, wanting to have him watch as I crush everything he cares for, before killing him. For years, I have studied him and his allies, collecting DNA samples from them all to create the ultimate Androids, that would succeed in ending him, once and for all. And I did, by creating two such Androids, with one of them being made from the DNA of the Saiyans, Raditz, Vegeta, Nappa, Goku himself, and his own son, Gohan. Programmed with the knowledge of all their attacks and fighting styles, a being born with a single purpose, to fight. One of my Ultimate Androids will soon be complete, or at least he will be, once I use the Dragon Balls, then with my wishes granted, I will begin adding the mechanical parts." Gero explained, much to the Namekians horror at the thought of such a creature being created, even worse with whatever wish Gero will make.
"You're insane, if you'd ever think we'd help you, or betray our friends on Earth!" One of the warriors shouted, only to grunt in pain, when the Meklord tightened its grip.
"Funny, I don't remember saying I needed your help." Gero retorted, before his holographic body walked over to the Dragon Balls.
Then to the Namekians growing shock and horror, Gero raised his hands and spoke in perfect Namekian. Given Gero had more than enough time on Earth to study their language, as well as through his capsule drones on New Namek, it was easy for him to learn to speak the Namekian language.
After Gero had recited the password, the Dragon Balls glowed brightly, before Porunga emerged from them. With the dragon's appearance, Gero nodded to his Meklords, causing the Androids to once again shock the Namekians, this time hard enough to knock them all unconscious.
With that done, Gero looked up at Porunga.
"Dragon, my three wishes are these! I wish for Android 22 to become immortal, for his immortality to never able to be taken away, and the memories of everyone, besides myself, to forget this ever happened!" Gero commanded, with Porunga's eyes glowing as he granted all three wishes.
"Your wishes have been granted!" Porunga stated, before vanishing, while the Dragon Balls turned to stone once again.
Nodding in satisfaction, Gero's holographic body vanished, while the Meklords released the unconscious Namekians. Their job completed, the Androids flew up into space, before self-destructing, ensuring no evidence of them or their master being on New Namek would ever be found, aside from the knocked out Namekians, of course.
*Timeskip – Age 767*
'Damn it all!' Gero thought as he ran into his lab and sealed the door.
He didn't expect the Z-Fighters to have gotten that strong from when Frieza arrived three years ago. Even worse, with that strange golden form Goku and Vegeta had, they have surpassed any level of power Gero could have conceived, given how quickly Android 19 was destroyed. He even lost his right hand, as well.
Not wanting to risk engaging Vegeta in that state, Gero had chosen to flee to his lab, where he could release Androids 17 and 18.
'Those fools may have become stronger than I anticipated, but I have already made the proper improvements to 17 and 18, strong enough to handle the so-called Super Saiyan form that Goku and Vegeta have achieved.' Gero thought, having initially assumed that Super Saiyan form he overheard Goku's friends talk about, before the said Saiyan returned to Earth, as a higher power level that Goku achieved with his Kaio-Ken, rather than a new form.
He would have chosen to use Android 22, but Gero hasn't gotten around to programing him to obey his orders yet, so he's using 17 and 18 instead. Going over to the console, Gero opened the pods containing the twin Androids.
Android 17 is a fair-skinned young man, with a similar appearance to his fraternal twin sister. He is average in height, though slightly taller than his sibling, with a slim frame and lean-built. He has straight shoulder-length black hair that parts above his forehead, thin eyebrows, and narrow blue eyes. Like most of Gero's Androids, 17 had gold hoop earrings in each ear. He also wore an orange bandanna around his neck, over a short sleeve black shirt with the Red Ribbon Army's logo on the left of his chest, which had a long-sleeve, white shirt underneath it. Along with a belt to hold up his medium blue jeans, which have a tear just above the knee of the left leg, and blue/white sneakers with green socks under them.
Android 18 is a slender, curvy and beautiful woman of above-average height and fair complexion. She has shoulder-length blonde hair, that parts over her left temple, which she generally keeps tucked behind her ear. Like her brother, she also possessed gold hoop earrings. She was wearing a blue denim vest and skirt, with the Red Ribbon logo on the back of the vest, with dark blue tights, a brown belt, brown boots, and a black shirt that has white and black striped long sleeves.
"Oh wow, you finally let us out, Doc. About time." 17 said, rolling his shoulders, pleased at finally being let out of the pod.
"And it looks like he wants us to clean up another mess." Stated 18, looking at the door, where she could hear the Z-Fighters trying to break in.
"Oh be quiet, both of you! I let you out to kill those fools, before they can kill us, like they did with Android 19! Now do it!" Gero ordered.
"Wait, wait, wait, hang on. Did you actually use that fat clown, the one with the absorption unit to fight them? I thought that was a joke!" 17 said, amused that Gero actually used that thing.
"Well, clearly it was, it's dead now. Not that surprising, given it didn't have infinite energy units, like us." Said 18, knowing they were superior to 19, given they didn't need to absorb energy, or worry about running out.
Their attention then turned to the door, where they could hear the Z-Fighters arguing.
"And I'm about to put my hand 200 miles upside your head!"
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"Those idiots do realize we can hear them, right." 18 said, knowing they'd be screwed if she, or her brother, just blasted them right now.
"Just hurry up and kill them all already! Or else you're going back in the pods!" Gero threatened, as he pulled out his Remote Shut Down Switch.
"Oh you mean…this remote." 17 said, quickly swiping the remote from Gero, before crushing it, much to Gero's worry and fear, as now he had no way of controlling them.
"Sorry old man, but we aren't going back in those pods, ever again." Stated 18, while smirking.
Just then, the door was blasted open, allowing Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, Piccolo and Tien to enter the lab.
"Alright, so where are the real androids?" Vegeta demanded.
"That's them." Said Trunks, pointing at 17 and 18, his nerves rising at seeing the monsters that destroyed his future.
"Wow…I'm completely underwhelmed. You upgraded us to deal with these idiots?" 17 asked, while Trunks was horrified to hear that the Androids had been upgraded.
"And you need to get rid of them!" Gero shouted, annoyed that they just wouldn't kill the Z-Fighters already.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll get to it. But how about first you tell us about these guys, 16 and…22?" 18 said with a raised brow, given she didn't see 21 anywhere.
'Wh-what?! More Androids?!" Trunks shouted, now officially terrified that not only were 17 and 18 upgraded, but now there were two more Androids he's never seen before.
What else could go wrong?!
"Wow Doc, did all your time cooped up in the lab make you forget how to count? Here I'll help, it goes 21 and then 22, ya understand?" 17 mocked, much to Gero's anger at the insult to his intelligence.
"Of course I know that! But I hit a roadblock in perfecting Android 21, and had to scrap her, for now anyway." Gero said, while muttering the last part, as he intended to complete 21, when he could.
"Huh. And what exactly makes them so special?" 18 asked, curious as what was different about Androids 21 and 22.
"Androids 21 and 22 are the apex of my brilliance, the first in the generation of Super Androids. Being Infinite Energy Androids and possessing Energy Absorption units, they will be unstoppable." Gero said, pleased at having created the ultimate Androids.
Of course, there was also Cell, but he wasn't going to mention that one yet, given it was nowhere near completion.
"Ohoho, now we definitely gotta release the big guy!" 17 said, wanting to meet 22 himself, and see how strong he was.
"Definitely, I'm also curious to see what 16 is capable of, as well." Stated a smirking 18, much to Gero's horror.
"No don't! Android 16 is highly unstable and can never be released without going nuclear! And I haven't finished programming Android 22!" Gero said, not wanting Android 16, which he created in the likeness of his son, to fight and risk being destroyed.
While Android 22 hasn't been programmed to be loyal to Gero, nor with the desire to kill Goku, yet.
"Ah, that's funny, that you think you can stop us." 18 retorted, as she moved to open the pods.
"I said no, you insubordinate cre-GAH!" Gero screamed, when 17 suddenly appeared and stabbed his hand through Gero's chest, before delivering a kick to his head, knocking it clean off his shoulders.
"You locked us in those pods for years, letting us out to clean up your mess, and now you think you can tell us what to do?! I don't think so, you old bastard!" 17 shouted, before jumping up and slamming his foot down on Gero's head, finally killing the man that ruined his and his sister's lives.
"Well, with the asshole out of the way, let's wake up our new friends." 18 said, with 17 nodding in agreement.
Unfortunately, before they could open the pods, Trunks screamed in rage as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and unleashed a powerful Ki blast. He refused to let the Androids that destroyed his world unleash even more monsters, like them.
The resulting blast ended up destroying the entire laboratory, along with most of the mountain.
"Thank goodness, they're gone." Trunks said, relieved that he managed to destroy all four Androids.
"Yes, congratulations you fool. You managed to waste your energy on an attack that did nothing." Stated Vegeta as the smoke cleared, revealing 17 and 18 completely intact, while carrying 16 and 22's pods.
"Well that was fun." 17 said, while putting 16's pod down.
"Whatever, let's hurry up and open these things, before that brat decides to try again." Said 18, though knowing it wouldn't do anything to them, but it was still annoying.
Nodding, the twins ripped open the pods, allowing the Androids inside to wake up.
The first one, Android 16, was a literal giant, being nearly double the height of 17 and 18. He has icy blue eyes, a red/orange mohawk, and gold hoop earrings. His clothing consists of a dark undersuit, with a lime green vest, green boots, and green bracers. A small Red Ribbon Army logo is sewn to the left side of his vest.
Though it was Android 22 that shocked everyone, for the simple fact that he had the telltale monkey tail that all Saiyans have.
"A-A Saiyan?!" Trunks shouted, not believing Gero somehow managed to get his hands on a living Saiyan to turn into an Android.
22 had jet-black wild spiky hair that fell down to his shoulders, pale skin, dark black eyes, three jagged whisker marks on each cheek, and as everyone could tell a Saiyan tail wrapped around his waist. He was wearing Frieza Force-style armor. Which consisted of black boots with white borders and red-striped toes, a red form-fitting bodysuit, and black armbands with white ridges, black chest armor with a red midsection and shoulder pads, with the Red Ribbon Army logo on the right pectoral of the armor.
Seeing the Saiyan Android, 17 whistled in amazement.
"Wow, I'm actually impressed, Gero actually managed to get a Saiyan to take down Goku." 17 stated.
"Yeah, I'm surprised he had such a good idea." Added 18.
Both of them had been uploaded with Gero's knowledge of the Saiyans, including their natural battle prowess. So it was impressive the mad doctor had such a good idea, as turning a Saiyan into an Android.
Given it'd make more sense for a Saiyan to take down a Saiyan.
"And it's good to know the doctor was able to create such a handsome Android, as well." 18 said, walking up to 22 and looking him over with a pleased smirk, before giving him a peck on the cheek.
This action managed to get a reaction from 22, who blinked and looked at 18 in confusion.
"What was that?" Questioned 22, making 17 and 18 give him bewildered expressions.
"Uh, it was a kiss. You do know what a kiss is, right 22?" 18 asked, only for 22 to shake his head.
"I do not know what this "kiss" is. Dr. Gero only implanted information he deemed suitable for me, such as various fighting styles, techniques, and how to manipulate Ki. Any information regarding the outside world was only implanted, if Dr. Gero considered it necessary." 22 explained, since Gero had created him to be a weapon, and didn't feel that such acts of affection were necessary for a weapon to understand.
"Wow…I kinda wish that I killed the bastard slower, now." Commented 17 feeling sorry for 22, the same being said for 18, feeling they could emphasize with the Saiyan Android, given Gero captured them and tried turning them into weapons, as well.
In fact, the twins would say that 22 had it worse than them, since they at least got to experience the outside world, and all it had to offer, before they were turned into Androids.
"Well stick with us, 22, and we'll show you just what this world has to offer. What about you 16, you wanna join us?" 18 asked, looking at the giant Android, who simply kept staring forward.
"Eh, I'm gonna assume you're more the strong silent-type, big guy. What exactly did Gero build you for anyway?" Said 17, wondering what reason 16 was built.
"I was built to murder Son Goku." Stated 16, speaking for the first time.
"…I just keep getting more good reasons for killing him." 17 said, sweatdropping at Gero's one-track mind of killing Goku.
"You killed Son Goku?" 16 asked, while turning to look at 17.
"No, he killed Dr. Gero." Answered 18.
"Oh...may we go and murder Son Goku?" 16 asked.
17 and 18 traded looks, before 18 looked at 22.
"What about you 22? Wanna go kill Goku?" Questioned 18.
"Son Goku is a Saiyan, a powerful one. Okay, let's hunt down Son Goku." 22 said, with his Saiyan blood eager for the challenge.
"Ugh, fine. Let's go find Goku, maybe we can see some sights, along the way." 17 said, flying into the air, with 16, 18 and 22 flying after him.
"Oh thank goodness, they're gone." Krillin said, sighing in relief once the Androids were out of sight.
"Yeah, and they're going after Goku, you idiot!" Shouted Piccolo.
"If they want to get to Kakarot, they'll go through me first!" Vegeta stated, refusing to let Goku be killed by those tin cans, only he had the right to defeat Goku and he'll prove it by destroying those Androids.
Starting with that Saiyan.
*Later*
"Why are we stopping?" 18 asked, as they flew down to a cliffside road at 17's suggestion.
"I want to steal a car." Answered 17, with 18 pausing and giving her brother an annoyed look.
"You do realize we can fly, right?" Said 18, annoyed that they stopped for such a pointless reason.
"True. But with a car, we'll get a closer look at our surroundings, and a better chance to show our new naïve friend the world, rather than up in the air." 17 explained, while motioning to 22, who was currently taking in his surroundings with a fascinated expression.
"Fair point." Conceded 18, less annoyed now that she heard her brothers reasoning, and agreed that it'd be a good way to let 22 see the world.
"Will a car assist us in murdering Son Goku?" 16 asked.
"I don't know…I guess you could hit him pretty hard with it, after we're done using it." Replied 17, as he looked at 16 with a sweatdrop.
"Then I too wish to get a car." Stated 16, glad that they'll get a new method of killing Goku.
Just then Vegeta arrived and landed in front of the four Androids.
"Well, well, well, I finally found you worthless tin cans." Vegeta said, as he smirked at the four Androids.
"Oh hey, Vegeta. Whaddya want?" 17 asked boredly.
"Well for starters, to reduce you weaklings to scrap metal. But first, I'm gonna beat that low-class into the ground." Said Vegeta, while facing 22, believing it would be an easy fight to win, as unlike the Saiyan Android, he was a Super Saiyan.
Besides, 22 couldn't even be considered a Saiyan anymore, as far as Vegeta was concerned, given he was turned into an Android by Gero.
"You want to fight me, Vegeta? Alright, I could use the workout." Said 22 smirking, excited at the chance of fighting a strong opponent like Vegeta, especially with how long he was in stasis.
Not wasting another second, 22 charged Vegeta and sent kick towards his chest, which Vegeta blocked with his arms. Grabbing 22's legs, Vegeta pulled him close and slammed his elbow into the Android's chest, before sending a punch to his face, launching the Android into the cliffside.
Righting himself, 22 placed his feet against the cliff, before kicking off at a higher speed towards the Saiyan Prince. Tackling Vegeta, with 22 wrapped his arms around the other Saiyan, before proceeding to smash him through numerous trees and rocks. Finally, 22 slammed Vegeta into the ground and went to smash his fist into his face, only for Vegeta to flip out of the way.
"Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta shouted, firing the energy ball at 22.
To which, 22 responded to the attack by unleashing a Ki blast, that caused the energy ball to explode, before it could reach him. Sure, he could have used his energy absorption function to absorb the attack, but 22 wanted things to be interesting. Especially since this was his first real fight, outside of the simulations Gero that had implanted into his mind, while he was in stasis.
Then before Vegeta could react, 22 flew through the explosion and slammed his fist into the Saiyan Prince's face, before raising his knee into Vegeta's chest, making him double over. 22 then grabbed Vegeta by the back of his head, and slamming it into the ground, dazing him further.
Grabbing Vegeta by his leg, 22 spun around, before throwing Vegeta back to where 16, 17, and 18 were. Flying after Vegeta, 22 continued his assault by punching and kicking Vegeta, before finally creating a Ki blast in his hand and firing it at Vegeta at pointblank range. This results in Vegeta crashing through the cliffside, groaning in pain at the assault.
"Wow, that ended faster than I thought it would." 18 commented, while looking at the hole that Vegeta's crash made.
"Father!" Trunks shouted, as he and the other Z-Fighters soon arrived.
"Hey Vegeta, are you alright in there? Do you need a Senzu Bean?" Krillin asked.
"Fuck off, Baldy!" Shouted Vegeta, while stepping out of the hole, and brushing off some debris.
"Alright Vegeta, you probably won't like it, but we'll need to work together to beat this guy." Said Piccolo, with Vegeta grunting angrily at the idea of anyone helping him.
"Do what you want, Namekian, but just stay out of my way." Retorted Vegeta, before he charged 22 to reengage him.
22 smirked as he fought Vegeta again, knocking the Prince back to the ground, before ducking under a slash from Trunk's sword, catching the half-Saiyan in a headlock, and began punching him repeatedly in the chest.
"Hey 22! You want some help?!" 18 asked at seeing the Z-Fighters ganging up on him.
"No! Stay out of this!" Shouted 22, refusing to let anyone interfere in his fight, wanting to see just where he stood against multiple opponents.
Trading looks, 17 and 18 shrugged, deciding to let their new friend have his fun. Besides, it's actually more fun for them to simply watch them get their asses kicked.
Seeing they weren't going to interfere, 22 quickly moved Trunks in front of him as a shield for Tien's kick. Using the Triclops surprise, 22 shoved Trunks into him, before knocking them down with an axe kick.
22 then stiffened when he felt someone grab his tail, looking, he saw it was Krillin, who managed to sneak up behind him.
"Guys, I got his tail! Now's your chance to at-ACK!" Krillin cried, when 22 suddenly backhanded him, sending the former monk flying away.
"Nice try, but Dr. Gero removed that weakness. I was designed to be one of his ultimate Androids, meaning I have all the strengths of a Saiyan, but none of the weaknesses." 22 said, smirking, as he saw the Z-Fighters surrounding him, but not making any attempts to attack.
Deciding to humor them, 22 spread his arms leaving himself open.
"Tell you what, free shot. Go ahead, hit me with your strongest attacks, go on I'll wait." Said 22, as he looked at the Z-Fighters with a smirk.
"How do we know you won't simply absorb our attacks to make yourself stronger?!" Piccolo said, remembering that Gero said that he had given 22 the ability to absorb energy, on top of him being an infinite energy model.
"Please, where would the fun be in that?" 22 asked, while smirking at the Namekian.
"RRRAAAH! YOU WANT MY STRONGEST?! THEN TAKE IT! GALICK GUN…FIRE!" Vegeta shouted, firing his signature attack at 22, with the others following suite, not wanting to waste their chance.
"Special Beam Cannon!"
"Burning Attack!"
"Kamehameha!"
"Kikoho"
The five attacks collided against 22, who made no effort to dodge, block or absorb the attacks, with the Z-Fighters pouring all their power into the attacks, wanting to ensure 22 really died.
Finally, they cut off their attacks, panting from the energy they used.
"Strong enough for you." Said Vegeta, smirking, only to start laughing madly when he saw the state 22 was in, when the smoke cleared
Both of his arms were vaporized, the entire right side of his chest was blasted off, and most of his head was missing as well. This made the Z-Fighters relax slightly, relieved that one Android had been dealt with, leaving just three left.
But before they could confront them, they were shocked when they saw that 22's body was still moving, something that should be impossible!
Then to further their shock, 22's torso suddenly regrew, along with his arms and his head, leaving him completely healed. Tearing off his now destroyed chest armor, as well as the upper part of his bodysuit, 22 gave a shout as he unleashed a burnt orange aura of Ki, with his power now even greater than before, thanks to his Zenkai Boost.
"Thanks for the powerup." 22 said, smirking, before vanishing in a burst of speed.
Tien gasped in pain, when 22 buried his fist in his stomach, sending the Triclops flying into the cliffside. 22 then reappeared in front of Trunks, grabbing his head, before unleashing a Ki blast, launching the half-Saiyan towards the ground, forming a crater on impact. Piccolo was then met with a spin kick to his back, sending him flying away, as well.
The Saiyan Android then turned his attention to Krillin, only for the fighter to be fast enough to raise his hands to his head.
"Solar Flare!" Krillin shouted, unleashing a blinding light, with 22 crying out as he closed his eyes and shielded them from the light.
Acting quickly, Krillin formed a Destructo Disc and threw it at 22, cutting him in half at the waist.
"Regenerate from that." Krillin said, only to pale, when he saw 22 was still smirking.
"Okay." Stated 22, before both halves of his body flew back together, and were reconnected.
22 then resumed his attack, appearing in front of Krillin and slammed his elbow onto the fighter's head, launching him back into the ground.
Sensing an attack coming, 22 flipped over Vegeta, and before the Saiyan Prince could react, 22 threw his leg out, straight into Vegeta's arm, with a snapping sound echoing through the entire forest. Vegeta cried out in pain as his arm was broken, only to be silenced when 22 grabbed his head, before flying back to where the other Androids were slammed, and Vegeta down onto the street, forming a crater.
Looking around, 22 saw that all the Z-Fighters were down for the count.
"Nice going, 22. Are you gonna kill them?" 17 asked, smirking at the beating 22 just gave them.
"No, they were able to put up a good fight. If I kill them now, then I wouldn't get the chance to see if they'll get stronger and give me a better challenge." Said 22, as he smirked his down opponents.
"Well, I say we leave, cause I doubt any cars are going to be showing up, anytime soon." 18 stated, doubting anyone will drive by, with the explosions going off.
Nodding in agreement, the Androids flew off, leaving the Z-Fighters to pull themselves out of the holes and craters that 22 left them in.
"Well, that could have gone better. Though, I'm wondering how that Android was able to survive all our attacks." Tien said, accepting the Senzu Bean from Krillin.
"Given the fact Gero is aware of Saiyans, he's probably aware of the fact they get stronger whenever they recover from being near death. He likely outfitted that Saiyan Android with some kind of regeneration ability, being able to survive attacks that'd normally kill him, only to come back stronger." Said Piccolo, not knowing 22 was in fact immortal, and couldn't die at all.
"This is worse than I could have thought. If 22 is already that strong in his base form, plus the two Zenkai Boosts he gained, then 17 and 18 are probably even stronger than they were in my time." Trunks said, worried and fearful that his time traveling made things worse than he could have imagined.
"But I also noticed that 17 and 18, they're not like my world's versions. They wouldn't hesitate to have killed us, instead they just left." Added Trunks, not knowing what to think about this.
"Well, maybe since Goku didn't die, like in your time, Gero spent more time making 17 and 18 stronger, rather than turning them into killing machines. Along with building more Androids to fight him, in case they failed." Krillin suggested, since that seemed the most likely reason.
"Maybe. But either way, those Androids are still a threat and need to be stopped, no matter what. We have to stop them." Said Trunks, knowing the Androids may not be the same monsters he knew, but they still couldn't be allowed to wonder freely and cause who knows how much destruction
Vegeta made a "Tsk" noise, before flying off with a scowl on his face, angry at how he had lost that fight against a low-class Saiyan. Him! A Super Saiyan!
'Damn it.' Piccolo thought, before flying off to the Lookout, knowing what he needed to do to get strong enough to challenge the Androids.
He just hoped nothing else happened to increase 22's power even more. Or worse, something else entirely showing up.
After all, with the appearance of not just Doctor Gero and Android 19, but also Android 16 and Android 22. Who knows what else Gero might have had cooked up in his lab, that wasn't there in Trunk's time. Especially since he had overheard Gero muttering his desire to one day complete Android 21.
And while that may no longer be a possibility, he wouldn't put it pass Gero to have some kind of contingency in place, in the event of his death.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has been created by Dr. Gero as one of two Ultimate Androids, he other being Android 21, to kill Goku. Also he's called 22, as he doesn't have a name yet, but he will start calling himself Naruto next chapter. We also see 22 fight the Z-Fighters and even let them freely attack him, gaining a massive Zenkai Boost before decimating them. Finally we see the Z-Fighters picking themselves up and contemplating their loss, or running off to brood in Vegeta's case, while Piccolo is off to fuse with Kami. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
