Android Saga[5]

-A few minutes before Goku and Co find the hidden lab-

Both Androids were well-coordinated, complementing each other's strengths. With dozens of blows coming from each side, Vegeta went on the defensive for a bit.

They continued trading dozens of lightning-fast blows, locked in ferocious and powerful combat. Blood was spilled everywhere as they reshaped the landscape.

When Vegeta finally found an opening, he swept 18's legs and kicked her in the stomach. 17 attempted to punch him, but Vegeta quickly grabbed his hand, pulled him closer, and punched his gut too. Kicking both of them far away, he followed with a series of blasts that destroyed the area.

"You both are strong, but still not enough. Work better together and make me draw out all my potential," Vegeta said, leaking confidence. Both 17 and 18 smiled. It had been ages since they had so much fun.

"Fuu~, seriously, you don't play fair," 17 walked ahead.

"Let's go, 17," 18 followed him and they started to run.

"HAAAAAAAAA!!"

*Tatata Tatata Tatata**Tatata

*Boom Boom

*Boom Boom Boom*

They did their best to close the gap, trading blow after blow and changing the terrain. They started to vanish and appear beside each other, yet Vegeta was more experienced and deadly.

He appeared behind 17. "You were the fastest one, but the most careless," he said before closing his hand and bringing it down like a hammer on him.

Seeing this opportunity, 18 tried to kick his head, but he dodged and sent a kick to her side. He reappeared behind her, elbowing her back and taking her breath away, then punched her back again, bringing both of them to the ground. A powerful Boom could be heard, and thousands of cracks appeared in the ground.

"And you, you fight like a street hoodlum and let yourself open for any strike the enemy."

Vegeta grabbed her face and lifted her, tossing her at 17. He was only starting, and these two were going to evolve.

"No need to lecture us, Saiyan!" 17 said, concentrating a blast in his hands. Then he shot it, and in mid-air, it split into nine projectiles, each covering a different direction.

Vegeta prepared to defend himself, but each blast hit him and sent him back further, causing him to groan in pain.

Seizing the opportunity, 18 began trading blows with him, moving so fast that her moves appeared as afterimages.

With 17 backups she could hit Vegeta anytime he show an opening, making it easy for her to stay her ground against him.

"Move a little, 18!" 17 screamed. Even before he finished speaking, 18 was already out of the way, and Vegeta saw another blast heading straight for him. 18 followed suit with her pink-hued blast, sending him back at high speed.

"Now that's what I'm talking about," Vegeta said. He was injured, but nothing serious enough to hinder him. The twins noticed this and decided to coordinate even more. Both of them ran at him from different sides.

They targeted every opening Vegeta revealed, exchanging blows with lightning speed. They changed positions mid-air and continued the flurry of punches and kicks. The shockwaves were devastating, reducing mountains to dust.

Vegeta was being overwhelmed. Individually, he was stronger than both of them, but with this kind of teamwork, it was hard to predict their movements and attacks.

Most times it was like they would blend and work like one entity, and then split and work like separated beings. It was like they were coordinating by telepathy.

"This can be used as training too. I've never fought against two or more opponents at the same time," Vegeta said, blocking a blow with his knee.

"Hehe, if this keeps up, you'll have to keep your promise, Saiyan," 18 said playfully.

"Stop flirting in front of me, 18. It's disgusting, you know," 17 said, once again shifting into his faster moves, which he excelled at.

Every time Vegeta thought he had defended against 17's blow, he realized it was just an afterimage, and then 18 would take advantage of the opening to land a powerful strike.

After pushing Vegeta to his limits, they found an opening and delivered a powerful blow together, sending him flying through the mountains.

"Now, 17!" Both of them extended their hands, and a barrage of fast energy blasts shot toward Vegeta, creating a large cloud of smoke.

"F-Father!!... Shit!" Trunks was ready to go and save his father when he was interrupted by his mother.

"Don't do that, Trunks." Bulma couldn't see the fight, but she knew how strong her husband was.

"I agree, don't interfere. If you hurt his pride, he may not forgive you," Tights said. She enjoyed imagining how Vegeta fought, even though she couldn't see it herself. But if there was someone who knew him well, it was her.

Trunks looked at them and released the grip on his sword. He clenched his fist and observed the fight.

Vegeta emerged from the rubble, badly injured. The gear on his torso was gone, exposing his bleeding chest. He felt the pain but chose not to use his regenerative ability.

He still wanted one final push before fully utilizing his Zenkai ability to further increase his strength.

"I knew it. Both of you are special for machines, haha," he laughed.

Both androids laughed as well and created a gigantic sphere of energy, tossing it at him. Vegeta powered up and met the sphere in midair, trying to hold it.

He could feel the sphere growing heavier as they added more power to it. He grunted and exerted more power to withstand the energy.

They seemed to have unlimited energy as they continued to add more and more, bringing Vegeta down to the ground with the sphere. The entire area shook by the effect of the tremendous amount of energy.

Vegeta's feet started to sink into the ground, and he lacked the strength to push back. The beating he had taken had drained a lot of his energy.

But it was exactly this opportunity he had been waiting for, so he smiled. With a final grunt, the energy exploded, engulfing him and the entire area.

After the dust settled, they looked at the aftermath. Vegeta was on his knees, breathing heavily. He had returned to his base form, and his energy was low.

"Finally. Fu~ this can count as my win too, right?" 18 said, lowering her hand. Her body was bruised as well, but having unlimited energy allowed her to continue at almost 100%.

"As I said, stop flirting in front of me. If you want to go out with him, use this reward of yours," 17 said, looking around. "At least we didn't involve the animals in this area in our play."

They were about to descend when they looked in Vegeta's direction and were a bit surprised. He was standing back up.

"Wow, Saiyans have a lot of energy, don't they?" 18 looked at him and licked her lips.

"Well, they are a warrior race," 17 replied, a bit more serious. The last attack had utilized 100% of both of their cores. If it hadn't exploded before hitting the ground, it could have easily destroyed the Earth. Of course, that wasn't their intention, but still.

Vegeta looked at his hand, realizing the extent of his injuries. He was on the verge of collapsing. "That's enough," he muttered, activating his ability and feeling the warm sensation flow through him.

The healing process and the Zenkai kicked in, and he could sense his bones being empowered. It was an intoxicating feeling.

Quickly transforming into Super Saiyan, he smiled.

Bulma's scouter beeped once again, and she exclaimed, "??41.6 billion! I'll have to upgrade these soon... sigh."

Vegeta smiled and stood there, already having achieved what he desired. It was time to bring this to an end.

"I must thank you 2. One of my objectives is complete. Now, for the other one..." he said, looking directly at them.

They both understood the meaning. It was time to go all out or be defeated in a single strike.

Until now the only one who was playing around was Vegeta and not them.

17 concentrated energy in his hands and rapidly fired it at Vegeta, but Vegeta deflected it to the side and quickly closed the distance, delivering a punch to 17's face. Then, appearing behind him, Vegeta brought his hands down like a hammer, striking 17 and burying him in the ground.

"17!!"

"No time to worry about him," Vegeta said, punching 18 in the gut, stealing her breath, and sending her flying. He concentrated his purple energy in one hand forming a small sphere and fired it at 18.

The explosion sent her through a mountain and the rubbles fall on her.

Both androids emerged from the rubble bleeding and closed the distance between them. Vegeta pushed 17 aside and kicked 18 into the air. She fired a blast, but it accidentally hit 17.

Vegeta seized the opportunity to knee 17 in the face and delivered a powerful blow, sending him flying once again.

They remained locked in this cycle for a while, with Vegeta completely dominating the fight. Both androids were bloodied and nearly mangled.

"He's strong. He's far stronger than what Mother told me... Was he holding back until now?" Trunks watched the fight, opting not to join Goku and the others out of concern for the safety of his mother in this timeline.

"Mm? Is he winning now? As expected of him." Tights was nodding her head, later she would ask Trunks about all the fights.

As he looked at the back of his father, dealing with the androids who had caused so much trouble, Trunks realized that if he brought his father to the future, they would be able to easily deal with those androids.

Out of nowhere, a blast shot towards Vegeta, but he held it unfazed. However, the shockwaves it produced rises a big cloud of dust behind him.

"Hehe, what a monster you are. This is too fun to end so quickly," 18 said as she was the one who fired the blast.

While they were locked in this, 17 appeared by Vegeta's side, attempting to kick him, only to have his attack blocked effortlessly with a single hand.

"Hahaha, he doesn't even flinch, 18. What a mons-! Oh, shit!!"

Vegeta grabbed 17's legs and threw him to the ground. He destroyed the blast from 18 and, emerging from the cloud of smoke, quickly teleported behind 17, spinning around and delivering a roundhouse kick that sent him crashing into 18, causing them to collide with each other.

When both androids opened their eyes, Vegeta was already gathering high energy in both of his hands. He brought them together, forming a blinding light. Lightning crackled around him.

"Go sleep for a bit, both of you"

"Shit, 17..."

"Yeah, hahaha..."

"Final Flash!"

Vegeta unleashed the blast toward them, causing a massive explosion that obliterated the entire area. The section where they fought was wiped out by the immense power, and a towering cloud of smoke rose into the sky. The energy released was so intense that it left sparks on the ground, even after the devastation.
