While the clones are wreaking havoc.
Goten was at the Kami's lookout.
"Piccolo. Dende. Have you found the reason why our powers are sealed?" Goten asked Piccolo and Dende.
They were using farseeing sights to look at what is happening around the world to find the source of the problem.
"Still nothing." "And the fact that we also can't locate the dragon balls is also a big problem," Piccolo said to Goten.
"Wait. A woman is heading towards East City." Dende said.
It was a woman that he was not very familiar with and she didn't have any ki in her body despite flying so fast. So it was easy to notice her.
"And despite flying very fast she doesn't seem to have any ki." Dende followed up.
"An Android?" Goten said.
------------------------------
A few minutes later.
The woman got down from the sky near a mountain while carrying 18.
"!" She looked in a random direction and frowned.
She sensed that Goten and Piccolo were approaching the place where she was.
Ki sensing is an ability that Androids can learn however it is harder for them to learn that technique, only Android 18 is known to be able to do that. With her being the second one.
An entrance appeared at the location of the mountain that she was standing near.
Android 17 who had a red glow in his eyes walked out of the entrance.
"A Hybrid Saiyan named Son Goten and a namekian called Piccolo are after me. Take care of them." The woman said as she walked into the entrance.
The entrance closed after she entered.
Leaving Android 17 alone. However, she was not worried.
Android 17 have been training after Buu was defeated and has become much stronger.
Not only that, both Piccolo and Goten were much weaker because of the power-suppressing development that she created.
In theory, 17 would not have any problems trying to defeat both of them at the same time.
-------------------------------
"Android 17," Piccolo said as he looked at the man who was standing in front of them.
"What are you doing here?" Piccolo asked 17.
"You know. The usual staff." 17 replied to Piccolo.
"Android 17. I thought you were supposed to be in a place called Monster Island. The clones are wreaking havoc all over the world. So why aren't you at your island protecting it." Goten asked 17 directly.
"Things just happened. And now... I am supposed to be stopping you two. She told me to stop you two from getting in her way." 17 said as he stared at Goten and Piccolo.
"I am sorry but this will hurt." 17 said as he launched a Photon Flash at Goten.
Piccolo fired a mouth energy blast at Android 17's Photon Flash.
The two attacks nullified each other.
"This should be fun." Android 17 said as he looked at Piccolo.
"Goten. Follow her. If she moved away it would be harder to find her since we can't locate her energy." Piccolo said to Goten.
"Are you sure you can beat him?" Goten asked Piccolo.
The current Android 17's strength is so strong.
To the point that Goten wondered if Piccolo could beat him even if his powers weren't suppressed.
Piccolo removed the weight that was on his body and looked at Goten.
"Just go." He said.
So Goten decided to leave andoid 17 in Piccolo's hands.
"As if I would let you." 17 said as he prepared to attack Goten but Piccolo launched a ki blast to stop him in his tracks.
-------------------------
He is not completely mind-controlled. Piccolo thought in his mind as he looked at 17.
17 seems to still have his personality attached to him. It just feels more like he was influenced by something or knows something and is willingly helping that woman.
17 used a martial art move called Accel drive.
He tried to break Piccolo's defence.
"Kaa." Piccolo's power was so much lower than 17 at that time Piccolo was unable to react to 17 attacks.
17 hit Piccolo in the stomach with his knee.
At that moment Piccolo's eyes turned red as he grabbed 17 before he backed away and hit him in the same way that he was hit.
Then he throws 17 into the sea. As he deactivated his transformation.
Goten told him that he should only use transformations for a few seconds as using them for longer would just neutralize his powers.
A green beam appeared from the sea which was directed at Piccolo.
It hit half of Piccolo's body as Piccolo doesn't have enough speed to move out of the way because of his lower power level.
Piccolo removed his body immediately but he wasted a lot of his stamina.
17 gets out of the sea with green lighting on his hands. He doesn't seem to be harmed by Piccolo's attacks.
"Super Electric Strike." He said as he created a huge electric current in his hand.
He then launched it at Piccolo.
"Evil containment wave," Piccolo said as he used the evil containment wave on himself to get out of the way of 17's attack by forcefully pulling his body away.
It worked as Piccolo was able to dodged the attack.
"You seem to be holding quite well for yourself despite having most of your power sealed." 17 complimented Piccolo.
Piccolo used hell zone grenade to harm 17 but it also doesn't seem to work.
"Why are you doing this? Didn't that woman just kidnap your sister?" Piccolo asked 17 in a cold tone.
"Don't get me wrong. I also don't want my sister to get hurt. But it's not like I have a choice. That Woman has an entity inside of her that could destroy this world if she wishes." 17 said to Piccolo.
"I am only helping her after confirming that she is not going to hurt 18." 17 continued.
"And you are after her because you thoughts that those clones are created by her. Aren't you? Sorry to break it to you buddy. She is not responsible for them." 17 said.
"It's not like I could tell you everything that is happening right now. But I will give you my words that I will treat you to a meal after all this mess is over." 17 said to Piccolo as he launched a Photon Blast at him.
However, the attack pierced through Piccolo's body like it was just an illusion.
What 17 didn't seem to remember is that Piccolo is a fighter who is capable of taking down opponents who are stronger than him.
By using a special technique that he created himself.
"Special beam cannon," Piccolo said as he launched an attack from 17's blindside.
His attack pierced 17's body as 17 fell into the sea.
It was not lethal as Piccolo tried to avoid hitting his heart but 17 won't be able to get up for a while. That is if he is able to breathe underwater.
If 17 was capable of sensing ki or was blood-lusted Piccolo would not be able to defeat him.
But he was lucky.
"I should be the one who is treating you," Piccolo said to 17.
Even if 17 died he could just use the dragon ball to revive him.
Piccolo flew away towards the place where Goten was at.
