Android 17 and 18 Awaken, Enraged Future Trunks

"What, what is going on? I was just... This is my research institute, no doubt?! But... what happened?!" Dr. Gero couldn't understand. He stared in horror at his surroundings. The familiar equipment and everything was so familiar. This was definitely not a dream.

It was beyond his comprehension, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

"Could it be that I was so engrossed in thinking that I didn't even realize I was back? Or did the fight with Piccolo damage my nerve conduction and cause memory loss?" Dr. Gero muttered to himself.

It's no wonder he's called a mad scientist, given how he thinks this way; he really is crazy.

Most incredibly, Dr. Gero quickly accepted the current situation.

Instead of dwelling on it, he thought about how to quickly activate Android 17 and Android 18 in the dormant device.

Otherwise, he'd be dead when those guys came knocking on his door.

Dr. Gero quickly walked to the control panel, picked up the controller, and hesitated for a moment before activating the sedation device.

Do we really need to wake them up?

This is the question Dr. Gero asks himself every time he awakens Android 17 and Android 18.

Android 17 and Android 18 are so powerful that they can disobey his orders.

The first two times, they were only able to forcibly turn them off because he had the remote control.

After a moment of contemplation, Dr. Gero shook his head vigorously, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

Dr. Gero gritted his teeth and pressed the start button.

The hibernation chamber belonging to Android 17 was opened first, and Android 17 suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Upon regaining consciousness, he calmly stepped out of the hibernation pod and immediately saw Dr. Gero.

Without making a sound, he naturally noticed the controller on Dr. Gero's right hand.

He and Android 18 had attempted a riot and nearly killed Dr. Gero several times, but the old man always had a trick up his sleeve: he could easily disable his and Android 18's mobility through a controller.

Last time, I almost escaped control, and only now have I been able to see the light of day again.

Although he disliked Dr. Gero, he could only endure it for now.

He didn't want to fail again and be locked in the dark hibernation pod once more.

"Dr. Gero." Android 17, concealing his emotions, greeted Dr. Gero respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gero was extremely surprised, but then a look of great joy appeared on his face.

"What did you just call me? Android 17!" Dr. Gero asked repeatedly, incredulously.

"Dr. Gero, what's wrong?" Android 17 asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gero could no longer remain calm. He excitedly exclaimed, "Great! That's wonderful! It seems the malfunction has been automatically fixed? Not only has it become more obedient, but it also knows how to care about me!"

Dr. Gero saw that Android 17 treated him with utmost respect and had no suspicion whatsoever.

He was overjoyed, convinced that he had Android 17 under his control! With Android 17's help, those guys chasing him would be nothing but chickens and dogs.

Dr. Gero had even planned how to use the power of Android 17 to kill everyone, complete his revenge, and finally rule the Earth.

"It seems you've also transformed yourself into Androids. But this looks like an old-fashioned energy absorber. Why didn't you transform yourself into the latest Eternal Energy Reactor like us? Also, you look quite badly injured. What kind of enemy could have hurt you like this?" Android 17 launched a barrage of probing questions to divert Dr. Gero's attention.

He appeared to be extremely respectful to Dr. Gero, but in reality, he was just looking for the right opportunity to take the controller from Dr. Gero.

"You've just woken up, and there's no time to explain many things now. You'll understand when those guys arrive." Dr. Gero didn't want to explain much.

Piccolo cut off one of his arms; it was a disgrace he couldn't talk about.

As for the Androids that do not transform themselves into Eternal Energy Reactor, it is because their bodies are too fragile to withstand the intensity of the transformation, forcing them to resort to this last resort.

Otherwise, why would he use the old technology instead of the latest and more advanced technology? "Yes, Dr. Gero." Android 17 didn't ask any more questions. With his intelligence, he had already guessed that Dr. Gero had gone to seek revenge, but not only did he fail, he was also attacked.

Now, he must behave more obediently so that his sister, Android 18, can also be released.

Then, I could plot with my sister to kill Dr. Gero.

Because of his superb acting skills, Dr. Gero completely believed that Android 17 would no longer disobey after giving a simple command, and thus, he also freed Android 18 from the hibernation pod.

Once freed, Android 18 regained consciousness and stepped out of the hibernation pod. The moment he saw Android 17, the unspoken understanding between the siblings was conveyed in a simple glance.

"Dr. Gero." Android 18 suppressed her hatred for Dr. Gero and said respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Gero was overjoyed.

"Excellent! It seems you two have repaired yourselves. My original design was indeed correct. Android 17, Android 18, now it's time for you to serve me." Dr. Gero laughed wildly, almost losing his mind.

At this moment, we are located outside the research institute.

The Z Fighters had already gathered here and, because of Dr. Gero's excited shouts, heard the conversation.

"He just mentioned... Android 17 and Android 18! So, they've been freed?!" Krillin was sweating profusely, his bald head covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.

"It seems that guy has already awakened the Androids named Android 17 and Android 18. We're still a step too late..." Tien Shinhan's mood was equally heavy.

Having missed their last chance, they now face two Androids who have destroyed the future world.

Piccolo remained silent, his fists clenching unconsciously. He did not waver, but remained extremely serious.

His dignity as a soldier prevented him from being easily afraid.

In particular, neither Android 19 nor Android 20 appears to be an insurmountable opponent.

In his view, perhaps this era is already different from the future.

After all, because Future Trunks told them about the dangers of Androids, their strength was no longer comparable to what it used to be.

[Damn it!! I still couldn't stop that guy from waking up Android 17 and Android 18!!] Future Trunks clenched his fists in anger, roaring in his heart as that long-buried painful memory resurfaced.

Just when everyone was in a state of panic and confusion, Vegeta, brimming with confidence, stepped forward.

"Get out of my way, all of you!" Vegeta said domineeringly, then raised his hand and released an energy wave that struck the steel gate in front of him.

A loud 'BOOM!!' was heard.

The heavy steel gate was instantly shattered by a casual energy wave released by Vegeta.

The sudden Big Bang Attack completely stunned Dr. Gero inside. When he saw who it was, Dr. Gero was initially shocked, but quickly recovered.

After seeing Dr. Gero, Android 17, and Android 18 in the lab, all the Z Fighters present were stunned.

A handsome black-haired man and a beautiful blonde girl! So, these are the two you're talking about?

It seems there is no harm.

"It's them! It's them!!" Upon seeing the two Androids, Future Trunks's rage completely erupted.

His anger surged, causing the energy within him to erupt violently.

"Looks like this time it was the right decision, hehehe..." Vegeta smiled wickedly, and at this moment he couldn't wait to test just how strong these two Androids were.

After mastering the Super Saiyan transformation, Vegeta's confidence soared, and he considered himself the strongest warrior in the Universe.

He didn't believe these Androids could defeat him.

"Hmph... you guys are too late. What's coming next is your doomsday...!!!" Dr. Gero had barely finished speaking when Android 17 behind him seized the opportunity and pierced through his chest.

This situation completely stunned everyone present.

For the Z Fighters, it was even more unbelievable: Shouldn't they be a team? How did they start fighting amongst themselves? Taking advantage of the moment when Dr. Gero was in a stalemate, Android 18 decisively struck and immediately cut off Dr. Gero's other arm.

The controller that could have stopped them from operating fell to the ground at that moment and was casually picked up by Android 18.

"You... you guys already repaired yourselves automatically, didn't you? Why, why did you betray me?!" Dr. Gero's eyes flashed with deep terror.

With his intelligence, it wouldn't be hard for him to guess that Android 17 and Android 18 were just putting on an act for him.

But he was unwilling to accept that his ambitions had been shattered.

"Automatic repair? Old man, we were just playing along with your act. I didn't expect you to actually believe it. We've never been loyal to you, so how can it be considered betrayal?" Android 18 said expressionlessly, then crushed the controller in his hand.

Android 17 withdrew his arm, not rushing to kill Dr. Gero, but instead enjoying the look of fear on Dr. Gero.

Seeing this, the Z Fighters fell silent and remained on the sidelines, observing the situation.

Without the constraints of the controller, they had no more worries.

Android 18 wandered casually through the surrounding rooms, eventually fixing his gaze on the hibernation pod marked with the Android 16.

"There's another Androids here? It looks like a product of purely mechanical manufacturing." Android 18 showed great interest in Android 16 in this hibernation pod.

These purely mechanical Androids are very different from the human-modified Androids like them.

"No!! Stop right now! Do you know what you're doing?! You absolutely cannot wake up Android 16! If he wakes up, the entire Earth, the entire world, will be destroyed!!" Dr. Gero shouted as soon as he saw this.

He knew all too well how terrifying Android 16 was; he was the strongest Androids he had created with his own emotions in mind!

Android 16 possesses the ultimate power capable of destroying everything!

The Z Fighters outside the door were also taken aback by Dr. Gero's stern warning.

Judging from Dr. Gero's attitude, this Androids known as Android 16 seems to pose a greater threat than Android 17 and Android 18.

The atmosphere became incredibly heavy, and no one dared to make a move, except for Vegeta, who was itching to act.

For him, the stronger the enemy, the better, ideally allowing him to fight to his heart's content in his Super Saiyan form! However, the more nervous Dr. Gero became, the more curious Android 18 became about Android 16.

She really wanted to see just how powerful this purely mechanical Androids truly was.

"Stop!!" Dr. Gero shouted hoarsely, trying to stop Android 18.

But just as he was about to act, Android 17 beat him to it and kicked Dr. Gero's head off.

Dr. Gero's head rolled down the floor and landed by the door.

The Z Fighters, except for Vegeta, all looked terrified upon seeing this.

This Androids called Android 17 is far too ruthless!

In a sense, Dr. Gero should be considered their benefactor.

It wasn't over yet. Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Android 17 casually walked up to Dr. Gero's head and, under the other's resentful and angry gaze, stomped down.

'Boom!' Dr. Gero's head exploded, and he died completely, his soul going to the Underworld.

After dealing with Dr. Gero, Android 17 turned his attention to the group of Z Fighters present. He retrieved all the information about these people from the database and became very interested.

Android 17 smiled and said, "Hello, everyone. I have information about all of you in my database. I didn't expect to see it so soon."

These words surprised everyone present. This Android 17 seemed to be quite different from what they had imagined.

This Androids didn't seem hostile, unlike Dr. Gero and Android 19.

However, no one noticed that Trunks's expression kept changing, because Android 17's greeting directly stirred up long-buried memories deep in his heart.

That rage, which could only be extinguished by killing all the Androids, erupted at this moment.

'Splash! Splash!'

Fueled by rage, Future Trunks transformed into Super Saiyan and instantly gathered his power.

"Everyone!! Get out of the way!!!" Future Trunks pushed his hands forward, and powerful energy continuously gathered in his palms.

In an instant, a golden energy sphere condensed and took shape in his palm.

Upon witnessing Future Trunks's insane actions, Android 17 and Android 18 inside the research institute frowned slightly.

Piccolo, Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin did not linger. Just a second before Trunks unleashed his full power, they quickly retreated to a distance of over 100 meters.

"Aaaaaahh..."

An energy wave, unleashing its full power, shot out with a deafening roar.

The golden energy beams, like roaring dragons, bombarded the research institute.

'BOOM!!!'

The flames from the explosion shot straight into the sky, and a terrifying storm swept in all directions...
