Android 18 Makes Her Move

Vegeta flew incredibly fast and caught up with the Androids in no time.

The three didn't seem to be in any hurry. They strolled leisurely along a narrow path.

"You three, what are you planning to do?"

Vegeta asked them without the slightest courtesy.

Looking at the figure that had suddenly appeared, Android 18 answered without hiding anything. "We're going to kill Son Goku, of course. That's why we were created!"

"So I was right!" Vegeta sneered and nodded. Then he clenched his fists and said, "There's no need to make things so complicated. I'll kill you right here!"

Hearing this, Android 18 and Android 17 exchanged amused glances.

They had information about Vegeta stored in their minds, and knew he was a Saiyan.

"Looks like you're a little too confident," Android 17 said with a faint smile. His expression was completely relaxed. After a pause, he continued, "Son Goku seems to be the same way. Half-baked fighters tend to die pretty quickly, though!"

Vegeta was instantly enraged.

The veins on his forehead bulged as he gritted his teeth and said, "You're just a puppet, and you still won't shut up!"

"I'm going to tear you apart. So, who should I start with?"

As he spoke, he looked at the three of them and pointed them out one by one. "The woman, the big idiot, you? Or all three of you at once?"

Android 17 and Android 18 smiled even more broadly at this.

Android 18 slowly stepped out from between the others. As she walked, she said, "We don't need all three of us to deal with you. I'll play with you."

Seeing a woman step forward, Vegeta immediately felt disdain.

But Android 18 didn't hesitate at all. She took the initiative and charged at him.

Vegeta reacted in time. After transforming into a Super Saiyan, his battle power had increased dramatically.

This was his first fight since transforming. Though he felt disdain, he still focused all his attention on the battle.

The two traded kicks and punches.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The air was filled with the crackling heat of a fight about to erupt.

They moved so quickly that ordinary people could only hear the impacts, with no idea what was happening.

Suddenly, Vegeta grabbed Android 18 by the arm and hurled her into the air.

He followed up with a punch, striking her right in the face.

After being hit, Android 18 didn't seem bothered. There wasn't a mark on her face, and she casually brushed her hair aside.

"Heh, is that all you've got?" Vegeta said arrogantly. Then he continued, "I wasn't even going all out just now. If I'd been serious, you'd be finished!"

He was quite pleased with himself for managing to land a hit on Android 18, even though it hadn't done any real damage.

But as long as he gave it everything he had from now on, he could take down these puppets!

"Hmph!" Android 18 snorted. She hadn't been going all out either; she had only been testing Vegeta's strength.

She hadn't expected him to turn it into something to brag about.

Then she stopped holding back. She closed in instantly and slammed her head into Vegeta.

Vegeta hadn't expected her to move so fast and was caught completely off guard.

A gash instantly opened on his head, and bright red blood ran down over his brow.

"Damn you! You actually injured me!"

Vegeta said viciously.

At the same time, he powered up, strengthening himself a little as he prepared to charge at her and strike back.

But Android 18 moved incredibly fast. She drove a knee into Vegeta's lower abdomen.

Then she struck his chest with her palm, sending him crashing into the rocks.

"Rumble!"

Dust billowed all around them.

Vegeta was buried beneath the shattered rocks.

Just then, the others, who had arrived a little late, finally reached the scene.

Li Lin watched the situation unfold but showed no intention of stepping in.

Trunks, however, could barely hold himself back. How could he just stand there while his own father was being beaten?

With that, he started forward to join the fight.

Vegeta sensed Trunks's energy and burst out of the rubble.

"None of you are to interfere! Whoever does, I'll take them out first!"

With that, he charged at Android 18 again.

The two fought once more.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

For a while, they were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.

Trunks was stunned by the sight.

He hadn't expected his father to be this powerful.

Vegeta was holding his own against Android 18, without falling behind at all.

But this balance seemed only temporary. The Androids had an unlimited energy supply.

So if the fight dragged on, it would be bad for Vegeta.

Sure enough, after they fought at full strength for more than ten minutes, Vegeta's attacks began to noticeably weaken. Android 18, meanwhile, hadn't changed at all; her attacks were growing even more vicious!

Suddenly, Android 18 leaped high into the air and, with blinding speed, struck Vegeta's arm with a side kick.

The arm she hit instantly twisted out of shape. Its bone had been broken.

"Ah!"

Vegeta let out a loud cry.

Everyone was shocked by the sight.

The Androids were truly terrifying. Even someone as powerful as Vegeta was no match for them.

Only Li Lin wore a pleased smile as he watched, full of admiration.

That's my wife for you. She's amazing!

Trunks couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled his sword from his back and charged forward.

His father might be in mortal danger.

Feeling the wind rushing up behind her, Android 18 slowly turned her head.

Then she raised her arm and held it in front of herself.

"Crack!"

Trunks's sword came down on her arm.

Android 18 was unharmed, but his sword now had a chunk missing from its edge!

"What?"

Trunks couldn't believe it.

This sword had never failed him. It could cut through anything with ease.

But now, it had a chunk broken off!

"Thump!"

Android 18 punched him in the lower abdomen.

"Pfft!"

Trunks spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes filled with disbelief, and he slowly fell to the ground.

The Androids in this world were so powerful. The Androids in the future had been formidable too.

But at least he could handle one of them. Now he couldn't even fight back—he couldn't withstand a single move.

"Trunks!"

Piccolo called out in a low voice.

Then he charged forward without hesitation.

Seeing Piccolo rush in, the others stopped waiting and prepared to join the fight.

Android 17 looked at them, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Then he stepped directly in front of Piccolo.
