Android 16, Android 17, Android 18

In an underground research institute in North City, in a petri dish, there was something that looked like an insect, with a pair of black wings, hands like a human, and green skin covered with mottled, dense black spots. Its appearance was exactly like Son Wuling, but it looked somewhat immature and had a bit of baby fat.

Bang!

His fist shattered the petri dish, spilling the culture medium all over the ground. The water droplets on his body dripped smoothly and delicately onto his skin, without touching him at all! Cell, the ultimate Android resurrected by Dr. Gero using Son Wuling as the main cell Cell, was revived.

"What's going on? Why am I so short?"

Looking at his own hands and body, Wuling Cell felt like a five-year-old child! But then he suddenly remembered that he had deliberately broken free of his restraints, and he felt relieved.

"Not enough, too weak, too weak right now! Android 19 and Android 20 hunted for me this time, hmm, the gas erupting over there... why is it all gathered together, have we been discovered?"

Wuling Cell sensed that Son Goku and Son Gohan had transformed into Super Saiyan, and that Vegeta was also flying over. In an instant, Wuling Cell realized a possibility: Android 19 and Android 20, who were hunting for him, had been discovered.

"Son Wuling's cells and genes taught me the same superhuman sensory abilities and absolute control over ki. Not only that, I also have the cells of Piccolo, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta, Yamcha, and Krillin —absolute control that allows me to maintain perfect ki control even while flying! But..."

Wuling Cell clenched his fists, staring at the three cryogenic hibernation chambers marked with Number 18, a ferocious glint in his eyes.

"However, in high-intensity battles, even if Son Wuling is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for him to remain completely unaware of his presence throughout. Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Videl, Tien Shinhan, and even Yamcha, who wasn't with Chiaotzu Tien Shinhan, I sensed him. Was he not participating in the battle, or is Son Wuling actually nearby?"

Wuling Cell realized this possibility, and his heart clenched. If he had absorbed the lives of Android 17 and Number 18, his power would have increased, and he would definitely not be like this little child now.

However, the thought that Son Wuling might be nearby made him feel unnaturally trembling, fear, and excitement. Dr. Gero's almost neurotic words always expressed hatred for Son Wuling and Son Goku, and he mentioned Son Wuling much more often than Son Goku.

"Damn it, you beasts, you bastards! I'll let you scout ahead for me! I'm so unwilling to let you go like this."

Wuling Cell's eyes narrowed into two red laser beams, which destroyed the entire research institute. Finally, they destroyed the cryogenic hibernation chambers of Android 16, Android 17, Number 18, causing a violent explosion. Cell quickly concealed his presence and used Soul Barrier to shield even his own soul.

At this moment, Son Wuling, who was searching for Dr. Gero institute North City mountains of Beidu, suddenly heard a huge explosion that pierced the sky on a distant plain!

"What? What happened? If I remember correctly, it should be somewhere in the mountains, not on the grasslands!"

What Son Wuling didn't expect was that his final ruthless extermination of the remnants of the Red Ribbon Army would turn the Red Ribbon Army into pariahs, hated by everyone, forcing Dr. Gero to build his research institute even deeper underground!

"Android 17, Number 18, Android 16, or only Android 17, Number 18... I hope they're not Android from Trunks' world!"

Son Wuling flew towards the collapsed plain after the explosion. In the past, he would never have done this, but he felt a strong sense of unease. Cell, who was mainly composed of his cells, and Cell from the Trunks Parallel Spacetime, were both there. Now that he was there, he could forget about the Perfect Form.

At this moment, smoke filled the air, and the hatch of the cryogenic chamber, marked with the numbers 17 and 18, was blown away by a tremendous force!

A man and a woman walked out from inside!

The boy, with a scarf around his neck, long black hair, and a pair of gold earrings, condensed a Energy Blast upon seeing a remote control device by the door, and shattered it instantly!

The other was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair, who gave off a cool vibe. She had blue eyes that curiously looked around and wore a pair of gold earrings.

"Is there a malfunction? Where's that stinky old man Dr. Gero?!"

Android 17 sneered, "Who knows? That old bastard might already be dead. I also destroyed the controller that gave us the emergency stop. We're free now, Number 18!"

Number 18 gently tossed her blonde hair and said, "That old geezer kept talking about revenge, revenge, revenge, Son Wuling, Son Goku, I'm so tired of hearing it... Hmm, there's also Android 16?"

Number 18 noticed a huge cryogenic hibernation pod with the number 16 on it. Through the glass enclosure, they could see a huge, muscular man inside, staring at them expressionlessly.

Android 17 also walked over with interest, "It has the same permanent energy as us, but it seems different from us. But why isn't it coming out!"

Android 17 opened the hatch, and Android 16 rose from the cryogenic hibernation pod. His huge and imposing figure exuded a sense of oppression. He had red hair on the top of his head, wore a black bodysuit, and was covered by a green outer armor with the Red Ribbon Army emblem on his chest. Like Android 17 and Number 18, he wore a pair of gold earrings.

Android 16 has appeared! Unlike Android 17 and Number 18, Android 16 is a purely mechanical being, but it possesses the same permanent energy as Android 17 and Number 18, and its body is equipped with many computer-like mechanical devices.

Number 18 watched with his arms crossed over his chest, while Android 17 asked, "Android 16, this is the first time I've seen you move. Dr. Gero seems reluctant to activate you! Why is that?"

Android 16 did not answer, calmly looking around. He was clearly a man with a burly and strong physique, yet he gave off a calm and peaceful demeanor, which was quite incongruous.

Android 17 said, "You don't seem to like talking much either! But it's okay, let's go!"

Number 18 crossed his arms over his chest, looked curiously at Android 17, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Android 17 replied, "Of course, we're going to find Son Wuling and Son Goku Wuling. Android 16, you were created to kill Son Wuling, weren't Son Goku?"

After remaining calm until the 16th, Android 16 17 finally spoke, but his words were incredibly concise. "Yes."

Number 18 said, "Android 16, your reaction is like inputting mechanical commands. But Android 17, why do we still have to listen to that old geezer Dr. Gero's orders? We're free!"

Android 17 replied, "I also hate Dr. Gero, but we Android should have a goal, right? Defeat Son Wuling and Son Goku!"

"What will you do after you defeat us?"

Son Wuling's voice suddenly came from behind them, startling them. Android 17, Number 18, and Android 16 turned around mechanically. Son Wuling was looking at them with his arms crossed over his chest, a hint of mockery on his handsome face. After seeing Android 16, he understood that this was not a timeline like Trunks'.
