602. Androids and Trunks

*HUSHHH*

The glass doors of two cylinders opened and from inside came out two Androids, one man and one woman. They both looked like siblings.

"Android 17 and 18, I ORDER YOU. KILL THESE TWO MEN." Dr. Gero shouted. It was not his fault that he was so stupid. He just didn't know how strong Alexander was.

But the two didn't even move.

"Why should we?" The man asked.

"Because I am your master. I made you this strong. You obey me." Dr. Gero shouted again.

The blonde woman looked at Dr. Gero with disgust, "Do you expect us to say, 'Thank you for making us metal junk, master?'. You gave us so much pain and made us this... machine. The one we will kill is you."

Android 17 jumped at Dr. Gero and ripped his arms out to stop him from doing anything to stop them.

"I CREATED YOU... YOU CAN'T KILL ME."

"Yes we can," Android 18 kicked his head away like a football. Then, with an agonising scream, Android 17 stepped on the head, destroying it.

Dr. Gero's evil career ended just then. After that, the two looked at Alexander. "Who are you?"

"Just an old man," he replied and proceeded to ask.

"Do you remember your past life?"

The two androids looked at each other. Soon, Android 17 answered, "That is none of your business."

*Sigh*

Alexander waved his hand and reversed the time of Dr. Gero's body, bringing it back to life. "You two stay put. I will find out about your past."

While the two androids were in shock, Alexander looked through the memories of Dr. Gero.

17 and 18, Lapiz and Lazuli had lost their parents in a tragedy when they were very young. To survive, they had nothing else to do other than resort to robbery. They became criminals. Not the mafia, just everyday non-lethal smugglers. However, they were not bad. They just had to do it to survive. Later, when they were about 17 years old Dr Gero kidnapped them and transformed them into androids. 17 and 18 held a grudge against him.

Alexander also found out more things about other androids. There was an Android 16 as well. Android 16 was an incomplete android designed by Dr. Gero to be created exclusively from synthetic technology. He was modelled on Gero's dead son, a high-ranking Red Ribbon soldier long ago killed by an enemy bullet. In his affection, Gero made him powerful but did not want him to be destroyed in battle, so he made him gentle.

But Alexander found something much more dangerous in the records of his creations. Cell, the self-proclaimed ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, designed via cell recombination using the genetics of the greatest fighters that the remote tracking device could find on Earth. The result was a "perfect warrior", possessing numerous favourable genetic traits and special abilities from Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza and King Cold.

But, the current Cell was in a larva form so he was easy to deal with and Alexander did it. He came out of Dr. Gero's mind and put him in a Time Torture where he would be able to create countless androids, but all of them would betray him.

Then he disintegrated him and walked to the supercomputer. A small energy blast from his palm destroyed the supercomputer that was responsible for making the android. He also activated Android 16 who looked intimidating by human standards.

He then turned back to the Android 17 and 18. "You two have a name. You are called Lapiz and Lazuli. You were orphans before being kidnapped by Dr. Gero. Even though Dr. Gero is dead, you are still not free from his control. He had programmed you to find and kill Goku who had saved the planet multiple times from aliens.

"I can help you get rid of that programming and also turn into humans again." He offered.

"Why should we trust you?" Lapiz asked.

Alexander didn't reply and straight-up gave them their memories back. But he did not give them their memory of being a robber. He wanted them to be good people as he did not see any murders in their sins.

This shut down the brother and sister so he turned to Android 16 who didn't have a name as he was fully synthesised.

"You are made to be kind yet powerful. The only flaw you have is that you are also programmed to kill Goku. God knows why he's so hated. But, I can give you a better life. I know many other androids who live in my realm. You can live there too. I think we need an animal caretaker in Phixheim and you would be perfect." Alexander said. He had already made up his mind after seeing Dr. Gero's memory.

Android 16 only nodded at him. Alexander, seeing his agreement, sent him to Phixheim where Arnold will tell him everything. Meanwhile, Lapiz and Lazuli calmed down.

"What are you?" They asked.

"I am a god with a small g for now. So, what is going to be your choice?" He asked.

"We want to get rid of our command to kill this Goku and be turned into humans. But, I still want to have this power." Lazuli answered.

"Why is that? You know, power can corrupt people. Your power can destroy this planet." Alexander questioned them.

"Because, seeing our memories, we realised that we were weak and that was why life was so hard. If we had power, we could have found a way to earn money. Maybe by becoming an athlete or something else." Lapiz said.

"Hmm, okay. I will do it, but you must sign these papers first. These state that you will not use your powers to do evil." He put forward a magical contract.

The brother and sister read them and signed. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain so a contract was nothing.

"Good, here you go." Alexander used his powers on them. They were androids, meaning they still had some of their body made of flesh. So, he just used that as the base and recreated their whole bodies with his power. Eventually, all the metal used in them was removed and flesh took its place.

"How do you two feel?" He asked.

The two looked at their hands. They could feel their heart beating too. "We are humans again."

"So, what are you two going to do? Maybe I can arrange some jobs for you." Alexander offered them help.

Lapiz answered first, "I don't know. Maybe I will work in some animal sanctuary and protect animals from poachers."

"Haha, a good cause. Okay, I will recommend you to a national animal park. What about you, child?" He asked Lazuli.

"I don't know. I just want money and live in comfort." She replied.

"A good ambition... but for that...*BOOM*"

Suddenly the entrance of the lab was blasted open. Soon, two people entered. A bald short man and a purple-haired boy.

"Where is that supercomputer, Trunks?" the bald man asked.

"I don't think that should be our concern right now. There are people there." The purple-haired boy replied.

Both of them stayed alert and waited for the dust to settle. But once the purple-haired one saw Lapiz and Lazuli, he got enraged and dashed to attack them. His hair also turned blonde all of a sudden.

However, Alexander got in between and just stopped the full-powered punch.

But the boy didn't stop and stepped back, only to send an energy blast. But that also got stopped.

"Who are you? Why are you protecting them? They are murderers." the boy said.

"Well, first, you should tell me your name. Second, you attacked and third, they haven't killed anyone yet." Alexander argued.

"Does not matter, they will kill people in future." the boy retorted.

But Alexander realised something. "Ah, are you Trunks from the future?"

Trunks was taken aback. "How do you know me?"
