The group sat around the cell outwardly doing nothing but staring into space. Gohan however was deep in thought and letting his enhanced senses inform him of any tiny bit of information they could pick up.

Hearing footsteps coming down the corridor Gohan got up and laid down where he'd been laying while he was unconscious.

"What are you doing?" Videl asked,

"Someone's coming," Gohan said and closed his eyes leaving Videl to figure out what he was doing.

The trio stood up and watched as a group of four guards came in and stood at the door of their cell talking in a language that they couldn't understand. But Gohan could.

" < It's about time they let us land. We've been in orbit patrolling for hours >" # One complained.

"< Yeah, even when we seized and captured these weaklings they still wouldn't let us land >" # Two answered

" < Nah they never would have, these weaklings aren't worth anything they'll be tortured and killed shortly after we land anyway >" # Three added

The group stood and talked about nothing else that was of any importance to them as Gohan processed what they're just said and began to think up a plan to get them out of the mess they'd landed in.

" < LANDING COMPLETE. CREW ARE TO RETURN TO DOCKING BAY FOUR IN FORTY EIGHT HOURS FOR RELAUNCH! >" a computerized voice said.

" < Let's get them off this ship so we can get home >" # Two said and the other three agreed and he opened the door.

Gohan leaped to his feet. "< Hiya fellas! >" (an; quote from the matrix it's not mine) Gohan punched the closest one knocking him unconscious. The other three guards let go of Videl, Sharpner and Erasa and charged at him. Gohan fell into stance and before the shocked trio could blink he quickly defeated the guards leaving the unconscious fallen around him.

The trio stared at Gohan like he'd grown another head.

"How??? Wha????" Videl managed.

"Well you didn't think the son of Son Goku wouldn't know any martial arts did you?" Gohan asked.

Videl glared at him. "Why the hell didn't you tell us?" Videl seethed

"Um, it slipped my mind," Gohan said nervously.

"You are so dead Gohan what else slipped your mind that you haven't told us?"

Gohan looked at her and chose not to answer that question but instead change the topic. "We don't have time, Come on we've got to get out of here!" Gohan said and ran out the door the other three following close behind him.

"Where are we going?" Erasa asked.

"I have no idea, hopefully off the ship at least it will be easier to hide on the planet somewhere then hide in this ship!" Gohan replied over his shoulder as they weaved through the corridors Gohan using his ability to sense Ki to avoid any confrontations with any other Saiyans.

"Do you even know where you're going?" Sharpner asked as the trio began to tire.

"Shh! In here!" Gohan said and ducked into a room. He sensed the Saiyans in the joining corridors and realized they needed to duck in here and hide for a few minutes or they'd be caught for sure.

Gohan turned around to see what was in the room and froze. It was some kind of lab and lying there on the table with his chest opened and parts removed was Seventeen.

"Oh my god they're making an android look just like him!" Erasa gasped.

"Maybe they were going to put it in with us and use it to get information out of us then kill us!" Sharpner blurted

Videl didn't say anything she was just trying to understand the look of horror concern and guilt flash written in Gohan's expression.

A soft moan filtered through the room and Gohan rushed to the table with Seventeen on it.

"Gohan get away from there! What if it attacks you!?" Erasa said as she began to panic.

"Seventeen, come on, wake up," Gohan said

"Yo … You mean he's the real seventeen?!" Erasa screeched which seemed to be the last bit Seventeen needed to wake up.

"G … Gohan? Why can't I move?" Seventeen asked.

"They've started to take you apart, it looks like they've removed a few of you major components that control your movement. Though obviously not the ones throughout your face." Gohan said

"Damn, Gohan you've got to leave me here," Seventeen said.

"WHAT NO WAY!" Gohan blurted.

"Listen they can't find out anything I know. You have to remove my memory chip and you can't let them get anything out of you, I don't know how they'd get you but they might." Seventeen said.

"But I'm not gonna leave you here." Gohan replied.

"Listen if you take out my memory chip that's all me in there, even if you can't come back and get the rest of me, when you eventually get back to earth which I know you'll find some sort of way to do then Bulma can make me a new body and I'll be fine she's got my plans and my sister can help her if she needs it."

"Are you sure?" Gohan asked

"Yeah Gohan, You remember where Sixteen's was when you help Bulma a bit with the repairs right?"

"Yeah, I will come back and get the rest of you." Gohan nodded.

"Mine's in the same place, alright I'm going to shut myself down now," Seventeen said and his eyes flickered slightly before closing.

It didn't take long for Gohan to remove the memory chip and he turned back to the trio.

"Why didn't you tell us he was android?" Videl asked softly, she couldn't be mad at him at the moment not after Gohan having to agree to leave one of his closest friends behind.

"He's a Cyborg, but even when his mechanical systems are shut down somehow the human components of his body live unless he is completely killed, I think it's something to do with nanobots but I'm not entirely sure. That's why we have to come back for him when we can. Cause even if Bulma does remake his body it'll be fully mechanical. It won't be the same no matter how much he tells himself and everyone else is."

Videl placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder to try and comfort him and it helped a little.

"The reason we didn't tell you was because you would have freaked, just like you did when you first saw him," Gohan said and looked pointedly at Sharpner and Erasa who found interesting spots on the ground to stare at.

"Videl I want you to look after this for me," Gohan said and placed Seventeen's memory chip in her hand.

"But Gohan I … "

"Come on let's keep moving," Gohan said cutting off Videl obviously not wanting her to say no, so she gave his back a tiny glared for cutting her off and tucked the chip securely away.
