Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

The pillar of flame shooting straight into the sky made everyone hold their breath.

The power of Future Trunks' energy wave left everyone present speechless, even Vegeta was slightly shocked.

After all, it was Trunks in Super Saiyan form who emitted it.

Even though Super Saiyan Future wasn't that strong at this time.

……

Time passed second by second.

As the thick flames from the explosion dissipated, the scene that came into everyone's view made everyone shudder, and a sense of shock spread through their hearts.

Androids 17 and 18 survived a full-force attack from Future Trunks unscathed, and Android 16's hibernation pod was also saved by the two of them.

"How...is this possible?!" This scene utterly terrified Future Trunks.

In the future world, while his full-force attack might not kill the androids, it would certainly inflict some damage on them.

But now, with this sudden burst of energy, not only were Androids 17 and 18 unharmed, but they clearly didn't take his attack seriously at all.

Suddenly, Future Trunks gasped. He suddenly wondered if it was because of him that the two androids from the past were stronger than Androids 17 and 18 from the future.

"Hmph!! What a waste of energy! What effect do you think this level of attack can have?! If you're scared, get out of my way! I'll deal with them!" Vegeta's eyes were filled with arrogance, and his words were brimming with killing intent.

After waiting for so long, the time has finally come to make a move. He will now let his adopted son from the future know just how powerful his father is!

Everyone else fell silent upon seeing this.

Even Future Trunks, transformed into a Super Saiyan, couldn't hurt Android 17 and 18; at least, they were no match for them.

Even Piccolo frowned. He knew he was no match for Androids 17 and 18, and he was certain that Future Trunks was right; these two androids were indeed powerful enough to wipe them out.

Now, all our hopes are pinned on Vegeta.

If even Vegeta is defeated... then none of them will survive!

The outcome cannot be changed.

……

On that mountaintop.

"What a bunch of rude guys," Number 17 said expressionlessly, brushing the dust off his clothes.

"Let's ignore them for now. I really want to see just how special this Android 16, who Dr. Gero has taken a special liking to, is." As soon as she finished speaking, Android 18 kicked Android 16's hibernation pod open.

The hibernation pod was forcibly opened, and Android 16, who had been dormant, was awakened at that moment.

"Based on the data, they don't seem to be above us," Number 17 said casually.

Number 18 nodded slightly.

The two watched as the tall and imposing Number 16 emerged from the hibernation pod. Just standing there, he exuded a unique aura of power and oppression.

However, numbers 17 and 18 did not care or fear.

After all, they are a new generation of androids equipped with a perpetual energy reactor.

How could it possibly be compared to products from the old era?

"We've released you, shouldn't you thank us? Number 16," Number 18 said with a hint of arrogance.

However, he was met with indifference from number 16.

Androids 18 and 17 rolled their eyes and shook their heads helplessly, attributing it to the fact that Android 16 was a purely mechanical android.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Vegeta took the initiative to come closer.

That arrogant attitude was all too obvious.

Feeling Vegeta's provocation, Androids 17 and 18 were speechless.

They had no intention of making enemies of these people; at least, having just awakened, they didn't want to fight.

But that doesn't mean they can be bullied.

"Since you want to fight, then let's fight. It'll be a good opportunity to vent my frustration! The rest of you are yours, Number 17." Number 18 said expressionlessly before speeding off ahead.

She had no desire to fight Vegeta here.

So, they took Vegeta and headed off into the distance.

Vegeta wasn't in a hurry when he saw Android 18 willingly going to her death. He just followed Android 18 and let her choose her burial site.

For him, even if his opponent is a woman, he will not show any mercy.

Everyone felt a chill as Vegeta was lured away by Android 18. Future Trunks gritted his teeth, but dared not make a move.

At that moment, Android 17 was scanning them with his nonchalant gaze.

For Number 17, the database already contained all the information about the people in front of him, except for the blond man.

"Hey, number 16, do you want to stretch your legs? How about we each take on half?" number 17 said casually, hands on hips.

Judging from his attitude, he doesn't care about anyone at all.

"I was created with only one goal: to kill Sun Wukong. I will not kill any innocent person other than Sun Wukong." Android 16's answer surprised Android 17 immensely.

It seems that Android 16, like them, was implanted with the command to kill Goku by Dr. Gero.

"Alright, since you're not going to deal with them, then let me play with them." Android 17 didn't insist. He glanced at Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin, and provocatively beckoned with his index finger, indicating that they could make their move against him.

This extremely arrogant attitude, which treated everyone as ants, greatly aggravated the pride of Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin.

But they dared not make any rash moves.

Seeing this, Android 17 immediately saw through their thoughts. He then looked in the direction of Android 18 and Vegeta and said, "If you're planning to wait, that's fine too. But there are some things I need to make clear first. Your opponent is me. You can only attack me, not Android 18."

These words shocked everyone.

Who would have thought that number 17 would say something like that?

Future Trunks was even more surprised, as this was quite different from the number 17 he knew.

……

at the same time.

Vegeta on the other side finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He suddenly became enraged, overtook Number 18 in one breath, glared at Number 18, and shouted, "Where else are you planning to go? I think this place is fine!"

"Alright, since you're in such a hurry, then let's do it here." Number 18 landed slowly, standing right on the winding mountain road.

Upon seeing this, Vegeta landed on the ground, and at the same time, a shout burst from Vegeta's mouth.

Vegeta unleashed the energy within his body, going all out to attack Android 18.

Its offensive was so fierce that it directly overwhelmed No. 18's powerful attack.

Because the distance wasn't far, everyone could see what was happening in the battle.

The future Daito, who witnessed this battle firsthand, was even more astonished.

The androids of this era are undoubtedly stronger than those of the future, yet they are currently being suppressed by their own father, Vegeta.

A bold idea took root in his mind: Could history truly be changed by his father?

In the future, Da Te is still too inexperienced. Without experiencing greater trials and tribulations, how would he know about the existence of hidden strength?

Furthermore, he knew nothing about his father, Vegeta. Vegeta could indeed unleash unimaginable power at the start of every battle, but his Prince Technique consumed a great deal of energy, and after a moment of glory, he would be quickly overwhelmed.

In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, Vegeta continued to force Android 18 back.

The two men clashed on the road, which caused trouble for a truck driver who was heading that way.

Android 18 deliberately stopped in front of the truck to see how Vegeta would react.

She hadn't expected that Vegeta would use a single energy blast to kill the truck driver and the truck together.

Thus, Android 18 also realized what kind of person Vegeta was.

She didn't intend to be polite to such a cold-blooded and ruthless guy. Her original plan was just to teach him a lesson to vent her anger.

It wasn't until Vegeta's attack tore Android 18's jacket that her anger intensified.

Although she is a woman, the difference in strength is obvious. Android 18's fighting power is much higher than Vegeta's. As she began her counterattack, the situation changed.

Vegeta showed signs of defeat, but fortunately, thanks to his excellent physical abilities, he managed to withstand Android 18's first few attacks and even seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely, evenly matched.

However, as the battle dragged on, Vegeta's stamina dwindled.

At first, he could barely withstand Android 18's attacks, but in the end, he was completely overwhelmed by Android 18.

"Looks like you're just a big talker. Goku must be much stronger than you, right?" Android 18 said with a disappointed look after figuring out Vegeta's true strength.

These words hurt Vegeta's pride.

"Stop being so smug! You wretched woman!!" Vegeta, his pride wounded, endured the pain and threw a punch straight at Android 18's face.

Clearly, Android 18 became even angrier after hearing Vegeta insult him.

While dodging Vegeta's heavy punch, Android 18 unleashed a powerful whip kick.

A muffled thud!

The incredibly powerful blow landed squarely on Vegeta's left arm.

This terrifying force, penetrating the tough muscle tissue, caused irreversible and massive damage to the internal joints.

With just one strike, Vegeta's left arm was completely dislocated, rendering him immobile.

"Ughh ...

At this moment, the outcome is decided.

Although Vegeta still maintains his Super Saiyan transformation, he is no longer able to fight against Android 18.

Android 18, however, had no intention of letting Vegeta off the hook so easily. She strolled up to Vegeta and kicked him again, sending him flying nearly a hundred meters away, tumbling several times before finally coming to a stop.

The situation in the battle has taken an absolute turn for the better.

At this point, how could the future Grandmaster, who was merely an observer, possibly tolerate it?

He couldn't just watch his father die in front of him.

"Stop right now!!" Future Trunks roared angrily, drawing his Hero Sword in his ultimate form and aiming straight for Android 18's head.

Number 17 intended to stop it, but did not act immediately.

Since Vegeta, who already has the highest stats, is no longer viable, it doesn't matter if we add this kid to the mix.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

A "ding!" sounded.

Future Trunks's sword shattered upon impact.

This scene caused Future Trunks' pupils to shrink sharply.

"You rude bastard, you're asking for it." Android 18 grabbed Future Trunks by the neck and threw him next to Vegeta.

The next second, Number 18 raised his hand and released another energy blast, which was aimed at Future Trunks.

Future Trunks, who could have dodged, gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take the hit after seeing the heavily injured Vegeta behind him.

A loud bang!

The energy blast exploded violently, and the aftershocks swept in all directions, instantly blasting Vegeta and Future Trunks away.

The father and son, who were hit by the backlash from the energy blast, were directly blasted into incapacitated.

Vegeta did indeed lose his fighting ability, but Future Trunks collapsed because he was overcome by fear and lost confidence.

Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin—they couldn't just sit back and watch now.

He tried to make a move, but was stopped by number 17.

Unsurprisingly, Android 17 easily defeated Piccolo and Tien Shinhan in just a few moves.

As for Krillin, he was completely dumbfounded and stood there stunned.

The battle ended, and Number 17 and Number 18 stood together.

"Did we go a little too far?" Number 17 joked to Number 18.

"Heavy? They're all still alive. We've already been merciful enough," Number 18 replied dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Number 17 dared not offend his older sister.

My older sister isn't so easy to appease when she gets angry.

This battle seems to have come to a perfect end, just like in the original story.

Klin was simply completely ignored.

However, at this moment, an accident still occurred. Vegeta, who was already half-dead, refused to accept this cruel reality.

In his mind, Super Saiyans should be invincible in the universe, but now he's being beaten so badly by a woman.

He would rather die than accept this cruel reality.

So, he endured the excruciating pain and slowly stood up.

Those sharp, murderous eyes were fixed on Android 18, a forced, defiant smile on his face: "Is this all an android can do? I'm not dead yet!"

Upon hearing this, Androids 17 and 18, who were about to leave, froze. Android 18 sensed Vegeta's killing intent, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as well.

Piccolo and Tien Shinhan, who were already seriously injured, thought they had escaped a disaster and cursed inwardly.

Vegeta... he's courting death!!

"Looks like you've run into a tough nut to crack this time. Are you going to kill him?" Android 17 was speechless at Vegeta's attitude.

We've already let him off the hook, yet he still wants to die.

"Since he's willing to die, I'll grant his wish." Number 18 didn't want to waste any more words, so he raised his right hand, and powerful energy gathered in his palm.

"Then let's just nip it in the bud and kill them all!" Number 17 said as well.

Everyone's heart raced at that moment, and time seemed to stand still.

……

This scene left Talot, who was hiding in the shadows, speechless.

I originally planned to keep it hidden and see how things developed.

If Number 17 and Number 18 really killed everyone, then the plot would be completely messed up.

"However, these numbers 17 and 18 are the two I know. I can't just stand by and watch anymore; this is a good opportunity to intervene." Talot muttered to himself before disappearing into the shadows. (End of Chapter)
