Chapter 71: Piccolo vs Android 17

While the clones are wreaking havoc.

Goten was at the Kami's lookout.

"Piccolo. Dende. Have you found the reason why our powers are sealed?" Goten asked Piccolo and Dende.

They were using farseeing sights to look at what is happening around the world to find the source of the problem.

"Still nothing." "And the fact that we also can't locate the dragon balls is also a big problem," Piccolo said to Goten.

"Wait. A woman is heading towards East City." Dende said.

It was a woman that he was not very familiar with and she didn't have any ki in her body despite flying so fast. So it was easy to notice her.

"And despite flying very fast she doesn't seem to have any ki." Dende followed up.

"An Android?" Goten said.

------------------------------

A few minutes later.

The woman got down from the sky near a mountain while carrying 18.

"!" She looked in a random direction and frowned.

She sensed that Goten and Piccolo were approaching the place where she was.

Ki sensing is an ability that Androids can learn however it is harder for them to learn that technique, only Android 18 is known to be able to do that. With her being the second one.

An entrance appeared at the location of the mountain that she was standing near.

Android 17 who had a red glow in his eyes walked out of the entrance.

"A Hybrid Saiyan named Son Goten and a namekian called Piccolo are after me. Take care of them." The woman said as she walked into the entrance.

The entrance closed after she entered.

Leaving Android 17 alone. However, she was not worried.

Android 17 have been training after Buu was defeated and has become much stronger.

Not only that, both Piccolo and Goten were much weaker because of the power-suppressing development that she created.

In theory, 17 would not have any problems trying to defeat both of them at the same time.

-------------------------------

"Android 17," Piccolo said as he looked at the man who was standing in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Piccolo asked 17.

"You know. The usual staff." 17 replied to Piccolo.

"Android 17. I thought you were supposed to be in a place called Monster Island. The clones are wreaking havoc all over the world. So why aren't you at your island protecting it." Goten asked 17 directly.

"Things just happened. And now... I am supposed to be stopping you two. She told me to stop you two from getting in her way." 17 said as he stared at Goten and Piccolo.

"I am sorry but this will hurt." 17 said as he launched a Photon Flash at Goten.

Piccolo fired a mouth energy blast at Android 17's Photon Flash.

The two attacks nullified each other.

"This should be fun." Android 17 said as he looked at Piccolo.

"Goten. Follow her. If she moved away it would be harder to find her since we can't locate her energy." Piccolo said to Goten.

"Are you sure you can beat him?" Goten asked Piccolo.

The current Android 17's strength is so strong.

To the point that Goten wondered if Piccolo could beat him even if his powers weren't suppressed.

Piccolo removed the weight that was on his body and looked at Goten.

"Just go." He said.

So Goten decided to leave andoid 17 in Piccolo's hands.

"As if I would let you." 17 said as he prepared to attack Goten but Piccolo launched a ki blast to stop him in his tracks.

-------------------------

He is not completely mind-controlled. Piccolo thought in his mind as he looked at 17.

17 seems to still have his personality attached to him. It just feels more like he was influenced by something or knows something and is willingly helping that woman.

17 used a martial art move called Accel drive.

He tried to break Piccolo's defence.

"Kaa." Piccolo's power was so much lower than 17 at that time Piccolo was unable to react to 17 attacks.

17 hit Piccolo in the stomach with his knee.

At that moment Piccolo's eyes turned red as he grabbed 17 before he backed away and hit him in the same way that he was hit.

Then he throws 17 into the sea. As he deactivated his transformation.

Goten told him that he should only use transformations for a few seconds as using them for longer would just neutralize his powers.

A green beam appeared from the sea which was directed at Piccolo.

It hit half of Piccolo's body as Piccolo doesn't have enough speed to move out of the way because of his lower power level.

Piccolo removed his body immediately but he wasted a lot of his stamina.

17 gets out of the sea with green lighting on his hands. He doesn't seem to be harmed by Piccolo's attacks.

"Super Electric Strike." He said as he created a huge electric current in his hand.

He then launched it at Piccolo.

"Evil containment wave," Piccolo said as he used the evil containment wave on himself to get out of the way of 17's attack by forcefully pulling his body away.

It worked as Piccolo was able to dodged the attack.

"You seem to be holding quite well for yourself despite having most of your power sealed." 17 complimented Piccolo.

Piccolo used hell zone grenade to harm 17 but it also doesn't seem to work.

"Why are you doing this? Didn't that woman just kidnap your sister?" Piccolo asked 17 in a cold tone.

"Don't get me wrong. I also don't want my sister to get hurt. But it's not like I have a choice. That Woman has an entity inside of her that could destroy this world if she wishes." 17 said to Piccolo.

"I am only helping her after confirming that she is not going to hurt 18." 17 continued.

"And you are after her because you thoughts that those clones are created by her. Aren't you? Sorry to break it to you buddy. She is not responsible for them." 17 said.

"It's not like I could tell you everything that is happening right now. But I will give you my words that I will treat you to a meal after all this mess is over." 17 said to Piccolo as he launched a Photon Blast at him.

However, the attack pierced through Piccolo's body like it was just an illusion.

What 17 didn't seem to remember is that Piccolo is a fighter who is capable of taking down opponents who are stronger than him.

By using a special technique that he created himself.

"Special beam cannon," Piccolo said as he launched an attack from 17's blindside.

His attack pierced 17's body as 17 fell into the sea.

It was not lethal as Piccolo tried to avoid hitting his heart but 17 won't be able to get up for a while. That is if he is able to breathe underwater.

If 17 was capable of sensing ki or was blood-lusted Piccolo would not be able to defeat him.

But he was lucky.

"I should be the one who is treating you," Piccolo said to 17.

Even if 17 died he could just use the dragon ball to revive him.

Piccolo flew away towards the place where Goten was at.

Fyi. He used red eye from to boost Special Neam cannon.

Chapter 72: The women called Android 21

While Android 17 was preoccupied with Piccolo, Goten was chasing after the women.

He noticed a unique-looking mountain while flying near it.

He got down to the ground and checked whether there was something wrong with the mountain.

Luckily for him not very long after he started to search for it he found a metallic substance on the mountain's foot.

"Galick Gun." He said as he destroyed the place where he found the metallic substance.

Revealing a huge entrance.

Goten looked at the mountain which now had an entrance.

It seems to have some kind of underground base set up in it.

He walked inside it. While keeping his guard up.

He was surprised by how big it was and how it was able to be built.

He noticed R.R. Logos on his way down to the main lab.

"Red Ribbon army. So they were after this too." Goten said.

He saw thousands of metallic bodies displayed on the way down.

Goten frowned. If it was just robots he would not be that mad.

But Android 17 and 18 are not robots. They are cyborgs that are created using real humans.

"I hope those things are not the things that I was thinking." He said.

He is not entirely sure about the thousands of humans being experienced by the Red Ribbon Army.

So the best he could wish for it was to hope that he was wrong about his assumption.

Then finally he reached it. The place where that woman was.

-------------------------

She was sitting on a chair while directly looking at Goten.

Goten also saw 18 lying near her on a bed.

"Who are you?" Goten asked her in a calm tone as he looked directly into her eyes.

"Aren't you rude? You are the one who trespassed into my lab." She said.

"You kidnapped one of my Friends. And it seems like you are responsible for what is happening around the world," Goten said to her.

"I suppose you are right. Then let me introduce myself. I am Android 21. The ultimate android that was created after the death of Dr Gero." She said.

"Before you attack me I have to warn you I am created by using the data of your strongest opponents including Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu."

"You might have a chance to beat me without the influence of the Wave machine. But currently, you have no chance." She said to Goten.

"What do you want? Why did you kidnap 18?" Goten asked her.

He determined that what she said was true.

And even if he could beat her he thought he shouldn't attack her with 18 nearby.

He should at least find out what her motive was.

"You see. I was constructed by the Supercomputer after the death of Dr Gero." She explained.

"I was modelled after his dead wife Vomi. I hope that is his wife. Otherwise ...." She stopped for a while.

"She had a child with him. Who died in a war."

"War. The Red Ribbon war that my dad partakes in?" Goten asked her.

"No. He died many years before your dad was even born." She said.

"He created an Android-based on him. Called android 16." She told Goten.

"But it was not only his son. He also created me. With the sole purpose of looking after his Robot son. Isn't that selfish?" She said.

"But you see he was not able to finish my construction. As he died before that. So the supercomputer has to finish his job." She explained.

"But what does that have to do with you kidnapping 18 and creating a machine that weakened my friends? Get to the point." Goten said as he charged his ki in his hand and aimed at her.

"Such a sharpshooter. I wonder if you are even Son Goku's son." She said.

"When my construction was completed 16 have already died. You know about that already. Right?" She asked.

Goten nodded.

"The remnants of the Red Ribbon army were able to find me after that. They didn't know about my powers but they knew about me being a great scientist." She said.

"They gave me a proposal. Help them kill your father and his friends in exchange for rebuilding Android 16."

"But can't you just rebuild him by yourself?" Goten asked.

"They rebuild him with the remaining materials that they were able to recover from Capsule Corporation. Including the memories that he had before he was destroyed." 21 replied.

"So...." Goten rushed her.

"It's in my code to accept that deal even if I don't want to. And the truth is I am a little bit curious about him." She continued.

"But I don't want to get play in their hands. I created a loophole that would prevent the powers of 17 and 18 from being restricted by the wave machine. Just so that they have a fighting chance against the Red Ribbon army." She explained.

"So you are an ally?" Goten asked.

"You could call me that." She confirmed Goten's words.

Goten didn't let his guard down but some of his suspicion about her was cleared up after he heard her story.

He didn't fully believe her but he knew that the chances of her telling lies to him were the same as the chances of her telling him the truth.

"And I took Android 18 so that I could help her prepare for the up coming battle."

21 didn't lie as the part that was controlling her right now was an ally of Goten and the others.

While her other side was hidden beneath could be considered the ultimate Evil.

--------------------------

At that time.

"Where did Goten go? Why did his Ki suddenly disappear." Piccolo was confused as he was unable to sense Goten's ki after he went into the lab.

That woman. There is something dangerous inside of her. The words that he heard from 17 echoed in Piccolo's mind.

Piccolo knew that she could not be trusted and they had to separate 18 away from her as fast as possible.
