Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ I Am ❯ Chapter 2

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
My sister will cause a short circuit in my memory banks, if she's not
careful. Why does she have to correct me on everything, anyway? Who
asked her to look over my shoulder? Guess I'd better get this part
right otherwise she'll never leave me alone. Okay, let's see if I'm remembering this right...

We met the Saiyen brat again at the amusement park, but this time, he
had brought along a friend. A short little kid with lavender hair
who looked like he should be in junior high school than out on the
streets.

"Seventeen..." Eighteen said and I leaned back in the chair in frustration.

"What now?" I asked as I glared at her. Okay what don't you like now? I really wish she'd go do something else instead of reading everything I type.

"I think that kid just showed up. I don't think he was there to begin
with."

"You want to do this?"

"Me? Of course not. It's way too much fun watching you do it. It's
going to be so funny to see your look when it gets rejected."

"Shut up. I'm doing this MY way."

"I thought you wanted to be accurate."

"I'm telling this as I remember it."

"Well obviously, your memory has some flaws."

"No it doesn't!"

"That's not the way it happened."

All right. I'll change the stupid thing. We had Gohan cornered when
this kid came out of nowhere to challenge us. He could be no more
than fourteen, for he was awfully short for his age. It looked like
he had been preempted in his growth stage. But, no matter what his
height was, he approached us. There. I sure hope I can get all this written down...

"Stupid kid," I muttered as I watched him try to land a blow on
Eighteen.

"Look at this little pest. He wants to help his friend. Don't you?
Don't you want to help your friend?" Eighteen asked and the kid
gazed at him with cold eyes.

"Trunks, go home!" Gohan cried and winced as I kicked him. I
watched him hit the remains of a building and folded my arms.

"I don't like to be ignored," I said.

"Seventeen. Look at this one. He's got some fight in him. Wanna have
some fun with him?" Eighteen asked and kicked the kid hard in the
stomach. He winced as Eighteen delivered a blow to the head.

"So where's the fight you were talking about?" I asked then watched
as the kid placed his hands to the side in Vegeta's signature attack,
the Galick Gun.

"See what I mean?"

"How's he know that? Who is he?"

"Hey you androids! I think we're even now. Let me introduce you to
Trunks. He's a Saiyen, just like me," Gohan said and Eighteen smiled
darkly.

"Saiyen. Is that another name for ants? I swear, you squash one and
another comes along. This world has an infestation," she said and I
narrowed my eyes.

"I think we should exterminate," I said.

"Let's. It might be fun."
*********************************************
After the smoke cleared we stared at what was left of the park.

"Do you think we got them?" Eighteen asked and I shrugged my
shoulders.

"I didn't hear any screams," I replied.

"They probably wouldn't give us the satisfaction of screaming. Wanna
take a few shots? We might get lucky."

"Why not? We've got nothing better to do."

We took a few shots at the rocks in the park then sighed.

"All right. They aren't here. Let's go."

"Where are we going now?"

"Now? What is there left to do? We killed everyone."

"What else is there? We destroy the place. If they're still alive,
maybe the threat of death will flush them out."

"Do you think they can see through that?"

"I'm not bluffing. We'll destroy this world sooner or later. It all
depends on what they want to do. If they show us they're alive, then
we'll have some more fun. If not..."

"All right. Come on out, kid otherwise we'll lay waste to your city."

"Ka...me..." a voice said and I glanced at my sister.

"I don't think they're down yet. Wanna do another shot?" I asked
and Eighteen nodded her head.

"Of course," she said.
*************************************
"There. Does this meet with your approval?" I asked as I glanced at
her. She moved away from the computer screen and nodded her head.

"Well, I like this one a little better. But I want to see how you do
his death scene. That's an important part, you know," she said and I
nodded my head.

"Yeah. Plus we get to give that kid a really good thrashing. The
purple haired one."

"I knew which one you meant."

"All right. Don't get mad with me."

"I wasn't."

"You sounded upset."

"I wasn't then but NOW I'm getting upset."

"Okay, okay. I'll do the next part. I don't need you ticked off at
me."
*******************************************
Death. The extinguishing of a flame on top of a living candle. The
candle, once robbed of its fire, is shown as it truly is. Cold and
bleak. No one is immune to death. Not even a Saiyen. His fire was
extinguished when his golden hair turned back to ebony, the
smoldering remains of an extremely powerful blaze. He fell like a
rock, nothing holding gravity's iron grip back.

The clouds above burst, pouring rain onto the body of Gohan. There
was silence for a moment then my sister looked at me.

"Let's go. He's no use to us anymore," she said and I nodded my head.
********************************************
"You rewrote it," Eighteen commented and I looked at her.

"I wanted to be a little more descriptive," I replied.
*****************************************
Sometime later, however, we felt an energy increase. Someone out
there still had some fight to them.

"So what do you want to do, Seventeen?" Eighteen asked and I looked
at her.

"Why are you asking me?" I inquired.

"I don't know. I thought you'd like to make a decision since you're
older and all..."

"Why are you making me sound like a complete idiot?" Eighteen asked
and I looked at her.

"I don't like to be incomplete," I replied.

"That's not funny."

"Fine but I AM older you know."

"Only by a few minutes."

"A few minutes is still important."

"Only in your mind."

"I'm not changing it."

"Fine. Can you just get it to where Vegeta's brat makes another
appearance? That's when things got interesting again."

"For you, I'll do anything."

"Shut up."
**************************************************
It had once been a warehouse where we sat, awaiting the brat's arrival. I watched the plaster crumble from the ceiling for a moment then looked at my sister who stood looking out the window. I sighed as I glanced up at the ceiling. Pathetic construction by organic lifeforms. This world definitely deserved to die.

"Hey, are you awake?" Eighteen asked and I looked at her.

"What do you think?" I asked and she shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. You looked kind of lost over there. Oh look. Our playmate is here. Should we go welcome him?"

"Let's."

We flew out of the warehouse and I released one of my energy attacks. The kid blocked it and Eighteen shook her head.

"Are you starting to weaken? I mean, it's the same kid that we practically killed at the amusement park," she said and I looked at her.

"We didn't practically kill him. We couldn't. Not with Gohan."

"Pay attention. I think he wants to fight you."

"I'll make you pay for everything you've done!" the kid cried and I folded my arms.

"I'm sorry but we don't have access to a bank account. Will an IOU work?" I asked as the kid flew in close and attempted to kick me. He drew his sword and swung it. I grabbed the tip of his weapon and brought my hands sharply down. He fell to the ground and I laughed.

"Pathetic. What makes you think that you've got a better chance than your old man did?"

"I think he's getting angry," Eighteen commented and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't care what he does. It's not like he can do any damage to us."

"Let me have a turn then. I don't like standing here watching you have all the fun."

"All right then. Maybe he'll take it easy on you since you're a girl."

"I think he should be the one called a girl. I haven't seen him fight like an actual man yet."

"I don't believe this planet has any actual men. Not any more."

"I bet I'd have some fun if Goku were alive. But, I guess you'll have to do. You aren't much, considering your height and all but I'm not in a position to be picky."

The fight commenced and all went well until the brat landed a blow with his sword. Eighteen watched in horror as a few strands of her hair fell to the ground. She narrowed her eyes and began to form a large ball of energy.

"You idiot! It doesn't grow back, you know!" she cried and released her attack. When the light died down, we looked around for him.

"I don't see him," I commented as I scanned the area."

"It serves him right. Look at what he did. He's destroyed me for life."

"Wait a second...the coward's just hiding. Let's see if we can flush him out," I said and fired at a pile of rubble on the ground.

"He's got some nerve hiding after what he did to me. I want to land the final blow on him."

"Let me beat the living daylights out of him, then."

"All right. I suppose I can't have all the fun. Let's find him first. Then we'll decide how to kill him."
