Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Anything's Possible ❯ Reeeaaaaddddyyy? FIGHT!!! ( Chapter 16 )

Author's Notes: Yay! I kept my promise and got this out in a week (well, technically it's a day late, but since the notice didn't go until last Wednesday, I'm saying that it's on time! >P), despite having to work EVERY, SINGLE shift at the movie theatre this weekend! *growls* Yeah, actually I stayed home from school today, because I was so exhausted! Gawd, it was so nice to sleep until 11 am (even if I had to get up, get ready for school anyway, then argue and cry to my mother to let me stay home! *pats herself on the back for her acting skills*)

No, seriously! I was dead on my feet when I left the Salt & Butter Mines last night and what do I come home to - the discovery that my no-longer quite so young kitten had torn up the bottom of one of my (many) DBZ posters! >X I swear I was ready to kill her! Luckily it was my least favorite one (a good thing, because she's already torn up two of my very favorite posters before; ones that I had to get off of Ebay; and if she'd damaged another one of my favorites, I believe I truly would have hurt her.)

ANYWAY, hi! *waves to reviewers* I'm sorry I just had to rant about that!. Now, I'm starting this new tradition (which of course, other authors have done before) and I would like to personally thank each of my reviewers!

Mad Stickwoman 523: Yeah, I know I took way too long to update! But I'm not from now on! Thanks for all your support! I'm glad you liked the chapter and hope that you like this one even more!

juliemoonstar - Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

anonymous celebrity - Oh god, if you're like this in college, what am I going to be like?! *looks terrified* And yeah, this is definitely going to be a "frickin' saga"! ^_^ *looks even more frightened*

cyzay - Glad you liked it! Thankies! And I'm glad you figured out how to work the HTML tags!

Kae Kae - *hides* Oh, you're going to kill me after you read the ending for this chapter! But see, I kept my promise!

Chapter 16

"So where do we find those damn things anyway?" Jen hollered over the roar of the air rushing past her.

Ten feet away, Trunks didn't bother to lift his azure eyes from his careful scan of the scarred and crater pocked landscape beneath him. "Usually you just fly around for a bit and eventually when you see an explosion, you know you've found the Androids. It doesn't always work, but that's how most of the battles started," the young prince answered with a shrug.

Jen sighed in frustration and returned to her watch as well. They'd been out patrolling for several hours now and had already circled the globe once. The delay was starting to wear on the girl's nerves. Despite all the training and even being able to reach Super Saiyan, she had never been in an actual battle before; something she reminded herself of often, whenever her confidence started to grow too high. It also made her realize that because of her limited experience, Trunks would have to take the blunt of the Androids' attacks. Her tail tightened around her waist at the thought of any harm befalling her mate.

Suddenly a hand slipped into hers and Jen looked up startled, into the loving eyes of her soul mate. "Trunks," she whispered.

The demi-Saiyan smiled at her and gave her hand a squeeze. "Don't worry. We'll be fine. That year of training in the Room of Spirit and Time helped immensely! For the both of us. We should be able to handle those tin cans."

Jen returned his smile and opened her mouth to say something, but instead it turned into a scream of pain as a ki ball slammed into her from underneath. She began to fall, but managed to stop herself before she lost more than fifty feet of altitude.

"Jen!" Trunks yelled from above her. "Are you alright?"

The female Saiyan winced lightly as she touched her right side, but nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay!" Her Prussian blue eyes darted downwards as sadistic chuckling rose to meet her ears. There hovering a little to the left and about one hundred feet lower was Juunana-gou. Quickly, Jen spun and looked up towards Trunks, but, as she feared, found him turned around and face to face with the other half of the Android twins, Juuhachi-gou. Both Androids were wearing identical, maliciously amused smirks, which didn't quite reach their icy, expressionless eyes. Slowly, Jen turned back to face Juunana. 'Well, this is it,' she thought, repressing the instinctive urge to swallow and moisten her dry throat.

"Well, well, so the little punk has decide to attempt to spawn, eh? And my, isn't his little girlfriend a tough one too; being able to take a little, surprise attack from below and all. Makes me wonder if she can handle anything I could offer…." the male Android stated, slowly rising until he was level with Jen and then began circling the adolescent female Saiyan, like a hungry lion would eye a chunk of fresh meat. It sent chills up the girl's spine.

Jen's whole body tensed at the threat, her fists tightening at her sides and a low growl rumbled up from her throat. "Bastard!" she hissed, then without waiting any longer, launched herself at Juunana-gou, transforming into Super Saiyan as she did so.

The dark haired Android was unfazed by her flurry of punches and kicks; not even bothering to defend himself, just letting the attacks connect. Finally, he seemed to grow bored of this and caught Jen's fist, yanking the girl forward and driving his knee into her abdomen, knocking all the air from her lungs. He then raised his other fist and knocked the stunned girl towards the ground. Stopping herself again, Jen glanced towards Trunks and saw that he also had begun his fight against Juuhachi; luckily her more experienced mate was fairing much better than she was. Jolting her attention back to her own opponent, the female Saiyan powered up more and shot back at the Android.

She slammed her fist into his stomach, then whipped around to deliver a roundhouse kick to the artificial human's back, knocking him off balance. With a growl, Juunana-gou turned back around and grabbed Jen by the ankle, then began spinning like a insanely fast top. Suddenly, he released the poor, horribly dizzy girl to send her flying to collide with Trunks, who was in the process of defending himself against Juuhachi-gou.

Righting himself and helping to support his dazed mate, Trunks glared at the Android pair, who by now had moved to hover next to each other. He looked down with concerned, aquamarine eyes as Jen shook her head as if to clear it and pushed away from him a little to fly on her own, glaring fiercely through her blond bangs at the terror twins.

"Are you alright, Jen?" Trunks asked gently.

"I'm fine," she reassured him, then after a second added telepathically, 'I just need to get in the rhythm of battle that's all."

Meanwhile, Juunana and Juuhachi continued to smirk at them. "Darn," the male Android pouted, "and here I was hoping for a challenging opponent. It seems though that I've got the short end of the stick." He turned to his fair haired twin. "Would you mind swapping for a little while, sis? I'm not having any fun. She's even more boring than the punk himself," he pleaded.

Juuhachi rolled her eyes. "You are so childish, Juunana, I swear! And NO, I won't switch. I've sat on the sidelines too many times, while you've had fun before. Now its my turn."

"Bitch!" her black haired brother grumbled under his breath. Immediately, he was seized by the front of his shirt, his very angry twin sister in his face looking like she was ready to destroy him herself.

"What did you just call me?!" she demanded; to her credit, there was actually a hint of fear in Juunana-gou's eyes.

Meanwhile, Jen and Trunks sweat dropped as their opponents began to argue with themselves. "Ah… Are they always like this?" Jen asked, somehow she couldn't recall the Android pair arguing quite this badly in the series.

Trunks sighed and nodded. "Yeah, occasionally."

The female Super Saiyan glanced at her mate out of the corner of her eye. "Shouldn't we maybe attack them while their guards down? We can't stay Super Saiyans forever you know, and I think we need the advantage," she reminded him, recalling her not very successful earlier attacks against Juunana.

The demi-Saiyan nodded solemnly in agreement. "Fine. Juunana-gou - together - full power - on three," he instructed, a dark scowl crossing his face. Then he began the count, "…One…"

He crouched down and pulled his arms back, keeping his hands close to his sides and spreading his fingers apart; beside him, Jen pressed the heels of her palms together and splayed her own fingers out until her hands formed the shape of a spider…

"…two…"

Balls of light began to radiate in his palms and on her finger tips…

"THREE!"

Trunks thrust his hands together and released the powerful attack his father had designed, which burst forth with shocking magnitude. The great wave of power was immediately joined by Jen's spiral beam, which encircled his attack, then managed to pull ahead of it. She pulled her middle fingers in towards each other, than quickly pushed them back apart, creating tight slashing arcs in her beam to lead the attack.

The Androids, at last distracted from their own bickering by Trunks shout, glanced at their other opponents just in time to notice the attack before it struck. Juuhachi-gou tried to hurl herself to the side, but the attack hit Juunana-gou head on. The horrible, blood curdling scream never escaped the male Android's throat as his body was sliced apart by the pincers of Jen's Black Widow Bite and then immediately disintegrated by the Final Flash released by Trunks. Juuhachi screamed for him though.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! JUUNANA!!!! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Exhausted, Jen wearily lifted her head, continuing to pant as she tried to recover from the exertion of using nearly all her strength to launch that attack. Just as her head raised, Juuhachi-gou, tears streaming down her battered face, broken and sparking wires dangling from the hole that had once been her left arm, burst through the cloud of smoke and debris. That was last thing Jen remembered as the distraught Android's fist connected with her temple.
