The ocean around Master Roshi's island was calm, far too calm for what was happening right now.
I landed hard on the sand, barely slowing as I carried Goku in my arms. His breathing was shallow, uneven, every breath rattling painfully in his chest. Chi-Chi was already running toward us, heart medicine in hand, panic etched across her face, i guess Yamacha told her the good News.
"Move!" she shouted, already kneeling beside him.
She didn't hesitate. She injected the medicine exactly as Trunks had instructed, hands steady despite the terror in her eyes. Goku gasped sharply, back arching as if his body was fighting itself, then slowly, agonizingly slowly, his breathing evened out.
Color returned to his face.
I exhaled.
"He'll live," I said quietly.
Chi-Chi gripped Goku's shirt, pressing her forehead against his chest, relief hitting her all at once. "You better wake up, you idiot…"
I didn't wait, as i left.
Whatever was happening back at the battlefield was escalating, and fast.
I touched my fingers to my forehead, locked onto Piccolo's ki,
and vanished.
...
I reappeared just in time to see the dust cloud rolling outward.
A massive explosion had torn apart the mountainside. The ground was cracked open like broken glass, smoke billowing into the sky.
My first thought was Trunks.
Then the dust cleared.
Androids 17 and 18 stood completely unharmed.
18 brushed dirt off her sleeve, utterly bored, while holding a large metal case by its handle. With an almost casual motion, she set it down and popped it open.
Trunks' face drained of color.
"No… don't"
Too late.
Android 16 stepped out.
Towering. Silent. Calm.
Vegeta snorted. "Another one? You're just piling up scrap metal now."
17 glanced sideways at 18. "You want him, or should I?"
18 smirked. "I'll take him."
She stepped forward.
Vegeta laughed, and transformed.
Golden light exploded outward as his Super Saiyan aura flared violently. "I'll destroy all of you!"
....
At first, it looked even.
Vegeta and 18 clashed midair, shockwaves rippling outward with every punch. Vegeta moved faster, struck harder, driven by pure pride. He landed a clean blast that sent 18 crashing through a rock formation.
Her clothes were torn, smoke curling around her.
Vegeta smirked. "Is that all?"
18 stood up.
Unhurt.
Then she moved, popping up behind Vegeta.
Her kick connected with Vegeta's arm.
There was a sharp, sickening crack.
Vegeta screamed.
His arm bent at an impossible angle, bones shattered. He fell back, clutching it, eyes wide, not with pain alone, but disbelief.
"Impossible...!"
"Father!" Trunks yelled, charging forward.
We followed.
...
Android 17 moved.
One hit with an open hand to his belly.
Piccolo went down.
Another.
Tien collapsed, with a crack on his skull.
Krillin barely had time to react before he was sent flying into a cliff face, form a kick to the face.
Trunks swung his sword, at 18's head.
....and was swatted aside like an insect.
18 finished off Trunks. With a sharp punch to the gut, as he fell.
She struck Vegeta once more, dropping him to the floor as she stepped on his brokem arm.
Vegeta screamed in agony.
The Z-fighters lay broken across the battlefield.
That was when i landed infornt of the them.
....
I stood between the androids and the others.
God ki pulsed quietly beneath my skin.
I pointed at Trunks. "You know, he is from the future."
That got their attention.
"In his time," I continued, voice calm, deadly, "you two turned Earth into a wasteland. Billions dead. Cities erased. Only survivors hiding in ruins."
18 tilted her head. "Oh?"
17 lifted his brows. "Cool".
I pointed at them. "if you Stop now. And Walk away. I'll spare your lives."
17 and 18 looked at each other.
Then they smiled.
And they looked at me.
They both raised a hand.
Twin blasts fired.
I slapped them aside effortlessly.
Their smiles vanished.
....
The dust hadn't even settled yet.
Android 17 and 18 hovered in the air across from me, framed by broken mountains and scorched earth. Behind me, the others lay scattered,Vegeta bearly conscious, Trunks barely standing, Piccolo struggling to push himself upright, Krillin frozen in fear. The battlefield smelled of ozone, burned stone, and blood.
17 cracked his neck.
18 brushed ash from her shoulder.
They weren't tense.
They weren't even worried.
If i remeber, the Good Doctor made sure, They Never drop in Stamina, as they have Infinite Energy. That alone would have terrified any normal fighter.
I stepped forward anyway.
The moment I did, 17 vanished.
My instincts screamed at me, at where he was coming. I twisted my body sideways just as a fist grazed past my ribs, the shockwave tearing the air behind me. As i jumped back, but he was already gone again, reappearing above me, leg swinging down like a guillotine.
I raised one arm, to block the blow.
The impact drove me into the ground.
The earth collapsed beneath me, forming a crater that spider-webbed outward. Mountains trembled in the distance. 17 landed lightly at the edge, smirking.
"Okay," he said casually. "You're tougher than you look."
18 didn't wait.
She came in from my blind spot, knee slamming into my side, followed by a rapid series of punches, each one precise, mechanical, optimized for maximum damage. My body slid across broken stone, sparks trailing where my boots scraped the ground, as i didn't let myself to fall.
As i raised my back up, like it didn't even hurt.
"Was that supposed to hit me.?"
I slammed my foot into the ground, and launched myself upward just as 17 fired a blast that obliterated the space where my head had been. I reappeared behind 18, grabbed her leg, and spun, using her momentum to hurl her straight at 17.
They collided midair.
Hard.
That was for Trunks.
17 recovered instantly, flipping backward and firing a barrage of energy blasts. I didn't dodge. I walked through them.
Explosions tore across my body, ripping my clothes a bit, but the god ki wrapped around me like a silent armor. Each blast dispersed before it could reach my core.
That's when I saw it.
For the first time....
Confusion.
.....
They both jump back.
18 narrowed her eyes. "What are you?"
I smiled.
"I am reallllllly going to enjoy this"
And disappeared.
As i popped up directly above 17. I drove my elbow down into his spine. The impact folded him like paper, slamming him face-first into the ground and carving a trench hundreds of meters long.
Before he could rise, I landed beside him, grabbed his ankle, and swung Him at a cliff.
His body smashed into a cliff wall hard enough to destory half of it.
18 screamed, in rage, and rushed me, both hands glowing. She landed a clean hit to my jaw, snapping my head sideways, followed by a kick that sent me flying through two rock pillars.
I rolled, skidded, stopped.
I wiped blood from my mouth[self done].
"Good hit," I muttered.
Then I was gone again.
I reappeared directly in front of her and punched her in the stomach.
A Nice heavy PUNCH.
The sound wasn't a crack or a boom.
It was a wet, hollow thud.
18's eyes went wide. Blood burst from her mouth as her body bent around my fist. She flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into the mountainside and coughing violently.
17 roared and charged again, fists flying in a relentless storm. I blocked every strike, forearms, palms, elbows, each collision sending shockwaves rippling outward. The ground beneath us shattered further with every exchange.
He tried to grab my face.
I caught his wrist.
I leaned in close.
"Now you feel it," I said quietly.
I headbutted him.
His teeth scattered across the battlefield like shrapnel.
He screamed, as he grabbed his mouth.
I grabbed his face with one hand, clamped my palm over his mouth, and pinned him to the ground. His energy spiked wildly as he tried to fire a blast point-blank at me.
BOOM.
It simply did nothing, to me.
"Ever wonder what death tastes like?" i asked.
BOOOOM.
Just as the dust went away, an empty space where Android 17 had been.
Silence followed.
18 pushed herself out of the rubble, trembling, not from injury alone, but fear. Real fear. Her eyes flicked around the battlefield, landing on the empty spot where her brother had been.
"No…" she whispered.
She turned and ran.
I raised my hand.
Energy gathered.
Enough to end her instantly, as i fired.
But something massive moved between us.
Android 16.
He deflected the blast and charged me, silent, resolute. He didn't hesitate.
Makes sense, he is a robot.
I punched straight through his chest.
I'm done playing around.
"Self-destruct in three...."
"SHIT"
I grabbed him and shot skyward.
The explosion turned the sky white.
When the smoke cleared, I descended slowly, clothes ruined, skin a bit burned but alive.
I turned back toward the battlefield.
Android 18 got away.
Like i'd let her.
....
Behind me, the Z-fighters stared in stunned silence.
The androids,nightmares of the future, had been easily beaten.
This fight wasn't even fair.
"Well, that was easy" i said.
