The group soared through the skies, heading north. Goku, Kairos, Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, and Piccolo spread out across the vast expanse of North City after reaching the area. Mountains rose like sentinels, their jagged peaks blending into one another, making the search for Dr. Gero's hidden laboratory feel like hunting for a needle in a haystack.
Krillin, scanning the terrain below, sighed in frustration. "Damn, there are probably sextillions of mountains. It's hard to—"
Before he could finish his sentence, something cold and metallic wrapped around his leg. His eyes widened in horror as Dr. Gero, who had been lying in wait, yanked him down. With a brutal punch to Krillin's stomach, Dr. Gero hurled him to the ground like a ragdoll, leaving him crumpled in agony.
As Krillin groaned in pain, clutching his abdomen, Dr. Gero wasted no time. He leaped toward a mountain and disappeared into a cave hidden seamlessly in the rock, a secret door blending perfectly with the natural terrain.
Suddenly, the stillness was broken by Krillin's shout, filled with both triumph and pain. "Guys! I found Dr. Gero's hidden lab! Come fast!"
Inside the cave, Dr. Gero froze, hearing Krillin's voice. His face twisted in disbelief. "How the hell are you still alive?"
Krillin, replies with cheeky smile. "Senzu Bean."
For a moment, Dr. Gero stared at him in shock, then a sly grin spread across his face. "Why don't you wait right there, and I'll show you something special."
Krillin, still dazed, replied, "Uh… okay," with an innocent grin, completely unaware of what was to come.
As soon as Dr. Gero disappeared into the steel-lined lab, realization dawned on Krillin's face. "Wait… I've been duped!" he groaned, slapping his forehead.

Inside the Lab
Dr. Gero moved swiftly through the sterile hallways of his fortified laboratory. His mind raced, beads of sweat forming on his brow. He never expected to face such a dire situation—cornered, his prized Android 19 destroyed, and the others closing in. He had no choice now.
"This shouldn't have happened," he muttered under his breath, standing before two large incubation chambers. "But they've left me no other option… It's time."
In front of him were two closed pods, sleek and ominous, with faint lights blinking on their control panels. The label on one read 17, the other 18. Dr. Gero hesitated for a split second, knowing what he was about to unleash, but with the Z fighters closing in, there was no room for second thoughts. His hand hovered over the control switch.
"I can't be too careful… I have to release them."
With a deep breath, he slammed the switch, and the chamber labeled 17 hissed open. From within, a figure stepped out—Android 17.
He was youthful, with short, spiky black hair and piercing green eyes. His expression was calm yet unnervingly confident. His slender, athletic build and sleek black-and-orange capsule-style armor highlighted his enhanced physicality. Twin gold hoop earrings glinted as he glanced around, his eyes cold and calculating. His entire demeanor exuded deadly precision and effortless strength.
Dr. Gero barely had time to absorb Android 17's presence before he moved to the second chamber. With another press of a button, the pod labeled 18 slid open, revealing a striking woman—Android 18.
She stepped out with an air of casual elegance, as though she had been waiting for this moment. Her long, curly blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her delicate, fair face. Her piercing blue eyes were both icy and enigmatic, and her slender, athletic frame was clad in the same capsule-style armor as Android 17's. Like her counterpart, she wore gold hoop earrings that shimmered with every movement.
A small, confident smile played on her lips.
Inside Dr. Gero's lab, tension filled the air as Android 17, in one swift and precise movement, snatched the remote from Dr. Gero's trembling hands. The entire action happened in the blink of an eye, faster than anyone could register. Holding the remote up, Android 17 gave Dr. Gero a cold, mocking smile.
"You created us," he said, his voice calm but laced with menace. "But we were never your puppets."
Before Dr. Gero could even respond, a loud *crunch* echoed through the lab as Android 17 crushed the remote in his palm. The pieces fell to the floor like useless scraps.
"What—! No!" Dr. Gero's voice quivered with disbelief. "That wasn't the real remote! It was just a decoy!"
Android 17 simply smirked, unimpressed, and stepped back.
Outside the lab, Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, Goku, Krillin, and Kairos all arrived in time to witness the final moments of the confrontation. Piccolo threw a powerful punch at the steel door, but it didn't budge. Frustration surged through the group. Vegeta, already fuming, stepped forward with his usual arrogance. With one decisive punch—his normal strength—he shattered the door, sending it flying inward with a loud *boom*.
A cloud of dust rose from the shattered entrance, obscuring their vision. From within the haze, they heard Dr. Gero's voice, proud and filled with false confidence.
"Woh, it seems you've all arrived just in time!" he gloated. "Prepare to be destroyed by my latest creations—Android 17 and Android 18!"
As the dust settled, the group could finally see them. Dr. Gero stood holding a useless remote, flanked by his creations. Android 17, the black-haired, green-eyed young man who couldn't be older than 19, stood with a look of indifference. Next to him, Android 18—a striking blonde, possibly 20 years old—looked at the intruders with a curious smile, as though she found the entire situation amusing.
Kairos seeing 17 and 18 smiled thinking " The fun is about to begin " He then use his DIVINE ABILITY to check their Combat Power
Combat Power—
Android 17 : 28 Billion
Android 18: 30 Billion
Seeing their Combat Power he gets suprised as it is a lot higher than the original Power , probably Dr. Gero improved them .
The Earth warriors braced themselves, but as soon as Trunks saw Androids 17 and 18, a chill ran through his spine. His worst nightmare had come to life. His face paled, and he was momentarily frozen in fear. The horrors from his timeline flashed before his eyes—he knew what they were capable of.
Meanwhile, Android 18's attention shifted. Her piercing blue eyes caught sight of another chamber with the number *16* inscribed on it. Intrigued, she walked towards it, her fingers brushing the control panel as she prepared to release whatever was inside.
"Don't you dare!" Dr. Gero's voice, now filled with panic, broke the silence. He stepped forward, his hand trembling. "I am your creator! I'm your *master*! You will obey me!"
Android 17's smirk vanished, replaced by cold fury. In an instant, before anyone could react, he lashed out. His hand sliced through the air, severing Dr. Gero's arm at the elbow. The old man screamed in pain, clutching the bleeding stump, but Android 17 didn't stop there. With a swift motion, he followed up with a lethal strike, snapping Dr. Gero's neck in one clean, precise move. Dr. Gero crumpled to the floor, lifeless.
"Ah… Brother, I wanted to make him suffer more," Android 18 said with a pout, her voice soft but dripping with malice. "Don't you think that was too easy of a death?"
Android 17 shrugged casually, wiping his hands of the act. "Sorry, sis. He was really annoying. I couldn't help myself."
The entire exchange happened so quickly, so brutally, that the Earth warriors could barely comprehend it. They stood there, frozen in shock, watching as the very man who created these monstrosities was effortlessly executed by them.
At that moment, the chamber labeled *16* hissed open. From within, a towering figure emerged—Android 16 with a distinct and striking appearance. He stood tall at 6'5" with a muscular and athletic build, complemented by his short, spiky red hair. His attire consists of a green and black armor suit, adorned with black and silver trim, and completed with black boots featuring green accents.
Trunks's fear deepened. "Another one… no…!"
Trunks, now visibly shaking, could barely find his voice. "This… this wasn't supposed to happen… There were only two androids…!"
Vegeta, arms crossed, sneered at Trunks. "Seems you miscalculated, boy. There are *three* androids, not two."
Trunk with worry on his face , seeing how the android killed Dr. Gero , he threw a Ki blast towards the android using his full power .
BOOOOO....MMMMMMM.....
Directly leading to destruction of the laboratory.
