Android 18 watched Vegeta, golden flames surging around his body, and felt a surge of anger. We didn't go looking for trouble, yet you came knocking on our door yourself.
Vegeta, now transformed into a Super Saiyan, was clearly in a good mood as he spoke: "You mechanical dolls, come over here and accept your deaths. It is your honor to die at the hands of the Prince of Saiyans."
Android 18 was speechless; was there something wrong with this man's brain?
Android 18 spoke up: "Vegeta, apologize to us immediately, and perhaps we will spare you. Otherwise, you will have to endure our wrath."
Vegeta laughed: "What kind of joke is that? A Saiyan Prince apologizing? Hurry up and get over here to die."
Android 18 turned around: "Android 17, you are not allowed to intervene. I will handle Vegeta." Android 17 waved his hand dismissively.
Android 18 adjusted her hair, truly unable to understand the thoughts inside these Saiyans' minds.
Vegeta's aura grew increasingly powerful, the surging flames becoming more intense, and he charged straight at Android 18. The two clashed, trading blows in a fierce battle.
Android 16 spoke: "Vegeta does not seem to have such strong energy. Is the data incorrect again?"
Vegeta caught Android 18 off guard, grabbed her arm, and flung her away, then followed up with an energy blast that sent her crashing into a nearby mountain.
With a boom, stones flew everywhere. Android 18 emerged, looking at her tattered clothes: "Damn Vegeta, you ruined my favorite outfit. I'm going to kill you!" She said, tearing off the remains of her outer garment.
Vegeta laughed arrogantly: "The mechanical dolls aren't as tough as I imagined. It seems I have become too strong. I have finally reclaimed the glory of the Saiyan Prince."
Watching Vegeta talk to himself, Android 18 felt her anger boil over. She lunged forward, her body blurring as she moved. Vegeta flared his aura to meet her, and the two clashed once more.
Android 18 landed a punch on Vegeta's abdomen. Vegeta grew increasingly alarmed; how was this android's stamina not dropping? He himself was no longer as energetic as he had been at the start.
Vegeta jumped back and fired countless energy blasts at Android 18, but she simply activated a protective barrier. Vegeta hadn't expected his attack to fail to even wear down his opponent.
Android 18 vanished, reappearing to kick Vegeta in the back. Vegeta lashed out in a rage, but his kick was blocked by Android 18.
Android 17 called out: "Android 18, stop playing around. It's too slow. If you keep playing like this, the sun will set."
"I know, Android 17. You're always like this."
Android 18's speed increased instantly. After a few exchanges, Vegeta had been struck several times, his pride taking another heavy blow.
"Impossible, impossible! I am a Super Saiyan, I am the Prince of Saiyans! How could I possibly lose to these android machines?" Vegeta roared.
Vegeta flew into the sky. Lightning crackled across his hands, and the ground below began to tremble as white bolts of electricity appeared in the air.
"Take this, Android 18! Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta shouted.
A massive wave of white energy erupted from Vegeta's hands. The terrifying blast turned the sky white. Android 18 watched the energy wave descending.
She channeled her power into her hands, which began to glow, and caught Vegeta's Big Bang Attack head-on. The immense impact forced her back ten paces, leaving deep furrows in the ground.
Seeing his ultimate move blocked by someone using only their hands, Vegeta found it hard to accept.
Trunks, having arrived in his time machine, stepped out and hurried toward the battlefield of the androids. Suddenly, he sensed the powerful energy of a Super Saiyan nearby.
Trunks wondered: "Is Mr. Son Goku fighting the androids?" Sure enough, as he sensed the area, he couldn't feel the ki of any other opponent. It was definitely the androids.
Trunks accelerated, flying toward the scene. Upon arriving, he exclaimed: "Father!"
It turned out that the one fighting Android 18 was Vegeta, though Vegeta was already struggling to hold on.
Vegeta saw Trunks. Hearing the name and realizing he had come from the future, he guessed this was his future son. However, his pride prevented him from wanting anyone's help.
Vegeta shouted: "Don't come over here! This is my fight!"
Trunks desperately wanted to help, but knowing his father's pride, he realized that if he intervened, his father would rather die.
Android 18 had seized control of the battle. Vegeta was retreating step by step, his speed clearly unable to keep up with hers. Wounds appeared all over his body, but he gritted his teeth and kept fighting.
Android 18 flashed forward and slammed a fist into Vegeta's mouth, sending a spray of blood into the air.
Trunks shouted: "Father!" and started to rush forward, but Vegeta stubbornly growled: "Didn't you hear me? Stay back!"
Trunks gritted his teeth in frustration. Android 18, seeing that Vegeta had exhausted his strength, delivered a single hand-chop, knocking him unconscious.
Seeing his father pass out, Trunks no longer held back. He flared his aura, his hair turned gold, and he charged forward with golden flames rising from his body. He drew the sword from his back and swung it down.
Android 18 raised her arm to block it, then punched him in the stomach, sending Trunks flying backward.
Trunks had only one thought: So strong. He was able to fight the Android 18 of the future, so why is the current Android 18 so powerful?
Trunks gritted his teeth and charged again with his sword. Android 18 grabbed the blade and snapped it in two with a single motion.
She kicked him away, then left without even glancing at him. She walked over to Android 17 and said: "Let's find a clothing store first. Get me some decent clothes; Vegeta ruined mine."
"Saiyans are so annoying. After getting clothes, let's find a car, and then we'll go look for Son Goku," Android 18 added.
Android 17 shook his head: "Fine, let's go."
The three androids flew away. Trunks clutched his stomach and walked slowly to Vegeta's side, helping him up before flying off as well.
Heavenly Realm
Piccolo was arguing with the Guardian of Earth about something, while Yun Feng sat to the side, unable to help.
System: Quest triggered: Defeat the Guardian of Earth and fuse with him. Reward: Super Saiyan energy.
Yun Feng encouraged Piccolo to fuse with the Guardian of Earth.
Piccolo said to the Guardian of Earth: "The world no longer needs a weak Guardian like you; it needs a powerful warrior. You didn't see how strong the enemy who took away Android 15 was."
The Guardian of Earth did not refute him, instead mocking himself: "I truly am useless. I am the most useless Guardian of Earth in history, aren't I, Mr. Popo?"
Popo replied with tears in his eyes: "Guardian of Earth, that's not true, that's not true."
The Guardian of Earth said to Piccolo: "Let me look at the lower world once more to confirm if the monster you speak of truly exists."
Piccolo closed his eyes and hovered in mid-air, waiting for the Guardian of Earth's answer.
