Vegeta: I'll go first

A small southern town.

Android 17 and Android 18 drove their small truck out of the rugged mountain road and into a small town. Inside a clothing store, Android 18 stood in front of a mirror, striking various poses and comparing them to the clothes on her body. Next to her was a basket of other styles of outerwear.

With her delicate brows furrowed slightly, Android 18 unhappily took off one outfit and put on another.

The shopkeeper, beaming, said, "This dress fits perfectly, beautiful lady, are you satisfied?"

Android 18 said, "It's terrible. It's just a small town in the countryside. There's not a single decent piece of clothing. It'll have to do. I'll change into something nicer when we get to the big city."

Android 17 leaned against the door rack of the changing room, glanced at Android 18's newly changed clothes, and said, "They look alright. Don't be too picky. Besides, who are you dressing up so nicely for?"

Android 18 said, "Hmph, you don't understand!"

"I don't really understand what you girls are thinking. It's just a few clothes, why are you so picky?" Android 17 shrugged, looking at Android 18 kept changing clothes, and shook his head helplessly. However, in order to appease Android 18, he still suggested going to a big city.

On the Android 18, thinking that big cities always have big shopping malls, he nodded in agreement.

The three had originally planned to travel at a leisurely pace, but since they wanted to buy clothes on the Android 18, they decided to speed things up for now. It wasn't a big deal, so they ignored the small truck they had stolen and took to the air.

"Hey, customers, you haven't paid yet!" the clothing store owner shouted.

"You won't be shortchanged, here you go."

Android 17 spoke in a calm voice, took a wad of banknotes from her pocket and tossed them to the shopkeeper, paying for Android 18's clothes. Because they retained their memories from before they were transformed into Android, Android 17 and Android 18, although a bit cold-hearted, had not lost their humanity; they still knew to pay for things.

The boss took the money and watched the group of people, Android 17 and their departing figures, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Ah, the Flight Technique! So you're a martial artist! You don't look that old at all, you're truly amazing!"

The Flight Technique is a signature ability of martial artists. Only those who have mastered Flight Technique can be considered successful martial artists. Thanks to the popular science education during the Lunar New Year in the Earth Kingdom, even people in remote rural towns can roughly recognize this ability.

When the clothing store owner saw that Android 17 and his companions were flying, he was immediately filled with awe.

"You gave him too much money just now. A wad of cash could buy half of his clothing store." Facing the gentle breeze, Android 18 squinted her eyes, quite dissatisfied with Android 17's extravagant spending.

Android 17 said nonchalantly, "It's all stolen money, so giving more is fine."

Android 18 said calmly, "From now on, keep your money with me."

"Huh?" Android 17 didn't react immediately, glancing at Android 18. "Alright, if you don't mind the trouble, you can have it all. To be honest, we Android don't care about money at all. If we don't have enough, we'll just rob someone. Anyway, no one can resist us."

"You make a good point." Android 18 pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously.

The group chatted and laughed, and soon arrived above a cluster of cities.

Landing on the rooftop of a tall building, Android 18 licked her rosy lips and spotted a large shopping mall. Just as the group was about to head towards the mall, Android 16 suddenly looked towards the horizon.

"What's wrong?"

"Several powerful energies are approaching; they're probably Goku," said Android 16, Mu Leng.

Android 17 chuckled with interest, "Oh, the prey has come knocking so quickly. According to Dr. Gero's information, Goku can transform into a so-called Super Saiyan. I wonder how strong Super Saiyan is, and whether they can fight against Android? I really want to see!"

"Go ahead and fight if you want, I still need to buy clothes." Ignoring Goku and the others, Android 18 tossed her hair, jumped off the rooftop, and headed towards the shopping mall she had chosen.

Seeing that Android 18 simply walked away, Android 17 shrugged, indicating that he could let her go and that he alone was enough to handle Goku and the others.

"Tsk, Android 16, wanna stretch your legs a bit?"

"I don't like fighting." Android 16 stated his position directly.

"Then I'll be playing alone." Android 17 didn't expect Android 16, an outdated model, to be of any help. He floated up and flew towards the edge of the city cluster, then waited for Goku and the others on a protruding hilltop.

About three minutes later, several streaks of light flashed across the sky. Vegeta was the first to arrive, followed by Vegeta, Goku, Piccolo, Trunks, Krillin, Bulla others.

"Hey, Goku, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hmm? Who's this person carrying a sword?"

Android 17 greeted Goku and the others like old friends, but gave Trunks a special look, as there didn't seem to be such a person in the records.

"..."

Android 16 shook his head.

"As expected of Android, I can't sense any life force at all!"

Goku and the others saw Android 17 and Android 16. Android 16 was purely mechanical and had no human aura. Android 17, because she had not yet begun training, had her own weak energy masked by the energy of the Android.

"They actually knew we were coming to find them!" Krillin sensed something was wrong, took a deep breath, and calmed his nerves.

"Huh, where's Android 18?" Bulla searched all around but couldn't find Android 18.

"I wonder if they might be lying in ambush somewhere?"

"Be careful, they are very strong!" Trunks said with a serious expression.

"What's the big deal? They're just Android, nothing special." Vegeta sneered disdainfully, looking at Android 17 and Android 16 with a hint of arrogance on his lips. He transformed into Super Saiyan, and his immense energy instantly turned into a raging inferno.

"Two Android, I, Vegeta, will deal with you!"

"Oh, even Vegeta can transform into Super Saiyan?" Android 17 was somewhat surprised, shaking his head, a wicked smile appearing on his handsome face. "It's a pity Saiyan are always overconfident, completely unaware of the gap between themselves and their opponents."

"Are you really not going to make a move on the Android 16?"

Android 16 shook his head to express his opinion.

"Alright then, I'll do it alone." Android 17 straightened his sleeves, adjusted the scarf around his neck, and actually walked towards Vegeta. "Who wants to go first? Friendly reminder, you'd better come together, otherwise you won't be able to beat me. Also, let's control our energy, it wouldn't be good if we made too much noise and damaged the surrounding flowers and plants."

"How arrogant!!"

Android 17's arrogant attitude completely enraged Vegeta. His aura surged, and he clenched his fists as he charged at Android 17!

"Be careful, Vegeta's power level is almost 400 million!" Android 16 suddenly said.

"Only 400 million!"

Bang!

Despite Vegeta's overwhelming aura, Android 17 remained unmoved, a faint smile on his face.

"My turn!"

Boom!

His calm face turned indifferent. In an instant, Android 17 seemed to transform into a ferocious beast, radiating a chilling aura that was in no way inferior to Vegeta's!

With a light step, the ground cracked open, and he leaped into the air, instantly arriving in front of Vegeta.
