Super Android 17 saga Episode 1 (42): The enemy is resurrected in hell

Do you remember the Leader of the robot Race Dr. Muy from early in the baby saga? We see him walking in hell, wondering where he is. He is confronted by Dr. Gero, Earth's most intelligent scientist. Dr. Gero asks Dr. Muy for his help with the use of his Turglioed technology. At first Dr. Muy laughs it off saying he feels bad that Dr. Gero continued his research in hell. But Dr. Gero entices Dr. Muy by telling him his main objective is to destroy Son Goku. This idea appeals to Dr. Muy as they both agreed to team up. Back on Earth at Bulma's house, Chi Chi prepares a feast using animals from mount Paozu (dishes that look very appetizing but include rainbow toads and centipede eel soup; this freaked out Bulma and Bra). Pan was wondering where Trunks was, and just as Bulma said he should be coming from work the door rings. As Pan answered the door, a beaten Trunks falls to the ground and mutters "Number 17...he..." Wondering what happened everyone comes to Trunks's aid. During the commotion Pan notices a large black hole in the clouds, in what appears to be a gateway to another world. Kaio-sama (sick with a cold) communicates to Goku that something caused the underworld and this world to connect. This large hole can be seen around the entire world as Humans begin to panic. Far away we see Android 17, somewhat hypnotized by a dark energy beam coming from the black hole communicating with a 2nd android 17 in hell (called Hell Fighter 17). With the combined power of the two, they can open a gateway from hell to Earth. The first stage of the 2 doctors' plan is completed. With Dr. Gero's ideas and Dr. Muy's Machine Mutant Theory, they were able to open a doorway to Earth. Dr. Gero explains that Android 17 was suppose to be the real ultimate Android, but because both Android 17 and 18 were angry that he erased their original memories and because they betrayed him, he was never able to complete the process. Dr. Gero built another Android 17 to merge with the one on earth, and when that process is complete he will be the most powerful android ever, even more powerful that Perfect Cell. Now Dr. Gero will be able to get revenge on all the humans! But first the 2 doctors must deal with their most hated enemy Son Goku.

Back at Capsule Corporation, Trunks described his confrontation with Android 17. He was on his way to Goku's house from work riding in the Capsule Corporation limousine when all of the sudden Android 17 attacked and destroyed the vehicle. Trunks was stunned because he never really saw Android 17 before. He notes that 17 has the same aura as number 18 (in the DBZ universe, the Z warriors cannot feel the KI from androids, so this makes no sense). Android 17 lunges an attack the towards the unconscious limo driver. This causes Trunks to absorb 17's blast as he tries to save him. Android 17 tells the beaten Trunks that the black hole is a gateway to hell. All the enemies wanting to get revenge on Goku have been resurrected and are coming to Earth. He also sends a challenge to Son Goku daring him to enter hell and fight the resurrected Cell and Freeza. The idea of fighting a supped up Cell and Freeza is exciting to Goku, so he decides to go there and see what's going on. Meanwhile in Saatan city Trunks, Goten, Pan and Vegita are handling business with some of the feeble enemies from hell (here we see Pui Pui, Yarkon and some weak enemies from the Red Ribbon getting destroyed very easily). When Goku finally reaches hell, there he finds Dr. Gero, Dr. Muy and Hell Fighter 17. Goku laughs at the fact that Dr. Muy is in hell. Before you know it the 3 dead androids fly into the portal and close it before Goku can escape with them. On Earth Pan notices the hole closing and wonders if Goku will ever be able to get out (she hugged Saatan in dispair, who she saved from some of the Red Ribbon army bad guys). Goku is now stuck in hell. He goes into a tantrum knowing he was setup, until he finds that Freeza and Cell are indeed there. And they want to get revenge on Son Goku!

Super Android 17 saga Episode 2 (43): Fighters from hell - Cell and Freeza's resurrection!

Freeza and Cell are ready to unleash their revenge on Goku; they KI up showing how much power they have gained since being dead. Goku shows he is beyond both Freeza and Cell by powering up even more!

Back at Saatan city Uubu joins the fight as more and more villains appear from hell (the Saibaimen's are attacking the citizens in the city). General Rurido from the dead is getting ready to attack the defenseless Pan who is holding on to Mista Saatan while flying. Just as the attack was about to hit both of them, Gohan deflects it. He tells Pan to take Mista Saatan to safety and to take cover as he prepares to fight the General himself.

Goku toys around with Cell and Freeza and uses their own attack against them. But as both enemies fall to the ground seemingly defeated, Cell gets up and mentions that they cant be killed in hell as they are already dead.

On Earth, Vegita is approached by Dr. Gero who introduces Hell Fighter 17 (before this event Vegita had a brief encounter with mute Napa from the dead who he disposes of quickly). Vegita says "...slightly better then the others I assume?" They begin to fight.

Both Freeza and Cell launch more attacks at Goku. Cell tries to absorb Goku with his tail, but was unsuccessful in his attempt. Goku says: "you guys cant beat with old techniques as they have no effect on me." Cell and Freeza happily agree and set up their new attack that has never been used called the HELL BUSTER (0_0'...). This attack captures Goku and pushes him deeper into hell. When Goku reaches the bottom (somewhere at the bottom...), Goku encounters an odd entity (who looks like a short old lady) in which she subjects him to many different types of torture techniques (in actuality these turn out to be gags of Goku being tortured on different senses: heat, ticklishness, steam and ice; none of the gags actually hurt him until the last one). In the last tortured even, Goku gets frozen by a special machine that freezes its victims in ice. Now Goku is frozen and cant move!

Things are getting worst on Earth as everyone continued to fight the dead with mild success (Goten, Trunks and Uubu fight off the Saibaimans, Gohan fights General Rurido, and Vegita fights the Hell Fighter 17). Hell fighter 17 mentally calls on his counter part Android 17 to come and merge with him, and it appears that he will do so. However Android 17 has one more thing he wants to do, find Android 18. He confronted 18 on the highway (she was in a car with Krillin and Marron) and attempted to invite her to join them as they destroy the Earth (he uses the fact that they are brother and sister to entice her). Will she go bad again and join Dr. Gero's mutiny?

 

Super Android 17 saga Episode 3 (44): Two android 17 join together

Android 17 invites Android 18 to join him as he gets ready to merge with Hell Fighter 17. At first Android 18 was hypnotized with the idea of going with him, but Krillin tires to stop her by reminding her she is his wife. This annoys 17 and because of that he unleashes a critical KI blast at Krillin that instantly kills him. Android 18 and Marron run to Krillin to see if he's OK, but it appears that he is dead. Android 18 cries for a moment and launches a strong punch towards 17. 17 says that he wanted to keep 18 alive through all that will happen, but feels he has no choice but to kill her now. 18 tells Marron to run and get away, and with hesitation she takes off. 17 begins to aim his next shot at Marron, but 18 steps in the way and absorbs the blast. This knocks 18 to the ground beaten. 17 takes off thinking 18 was dead. Before 18 goes unconscious she reaches out for Krillin, saying "I love you Krillin."

Back in hell, Freeza and Cell gloat in front of a frozen Goku who at the moment seems defenseless. As the two rivals get ready to deliver the final blow, the ice around Goku begins to slowly melt. The old lady says: "This is odd, the ice is reacting like someone is alive in there." It turns out that the freeze machine will only  work on people who are dead. At the shock of Freeza and Cell, Goku breaks free of the ice. Goku tells Freeza and Cell that he is going to dispose of them quickly, kicks them towards the front of the ice machine and freezes them (Goku accidentally knocks over both of them while they are in ice and they break into pieces).

On Earth Gohan appears to be in trouble as General Rurido turns his arm and leg into metal. Just as Rurido was about to deliver the last blow, Uubu saves the day blasting him before he could do anymore damage. Pan, Mista Saatan and Giru join the group. Vegita and Hell Fighter 17 continue to fight with no clear winner. Vegita comments that Hell Fighter 17 is on the same level as he is (even though Vegita is not a Super Saiya-jin). The rest of the gang join Vegita, as well as the second Android 17. Vegita was stunned at seeing two of the androids side by side. Dr. Muy commands the androids to execute the last stage by merging with one another. The two androids merge and the result is Super 17 (looks like an older version of Android 17). Vegita, feeling his pride slighted, launches an attack at Super 17, with no success. Trunks, Goten and Uubu join in the fight and are unsuccessful as well. Gohan tells them to stand aside and attempts to use a Kamahameha, with no effect on the super android. Dr. Gero tells Super 17 its his turn and commands him to attack. Super 17 proves to be very strong as he beat each fighter with one hit.

Now that Goku has taken care of Cell and Freeza, he asks Emma to get him out of hell so he can help Vegita on Earth. But Emma is powerless to help Goku and refuse to do anything. While in Heaven Piccolo thinks of a plan that might work to get Goku out of hell. He telepathically contacts Emma and asks him if he will be allowed to leave Heaven and enter hell. A reluctant Emma refuses Piccolo as he cannot change the judgment that as been passed on him. So Piccolo decides to cause havoc in Heaven to get him expelled and sent to hell. This plan works like a charm as Emma sends Piccolo to hell.

The situation on Earth is dire. Trunk, Gohan, Goten and Uubu are easily beaten by Super 17. Vegtia tired to use a new attack called Final Shine Attack. The attack, while powerful, still had no effect on the super android. While Goku watches the Super 17 beat the pulp out of everyone on earth, Piccolo makes his enternce and says that he knows a way to get Goku back to Earth!

Super Android 17 saga Episode 4 (45): The great escape from hell

Piccolo telepathically contacts Dende on earth (who is still Kami of earth) and asks him for a favor. He believes that he and Dende can create the same "resonation energy" that the android 17s used to open a portal between hell and earth (Kaio-sama explained all this to Piccolo, that's how he knew about it). He is hoping that if the two try to point the energy towards each other a portal will open (Goku compares this with Fusion, but Piccolo adds this is the fusion of the hearts). At first try Piccolo and Dende fail to accomplish this. Seems like they are not syncing the energy between them correctly. Then they try it again; no good. Looks like this may take a while.

Super 17 seems to be impossible to beat: stronger than Goten, Gohan, Trunks, Uubu and Vegita. Super 17 flings Goten, blast away at Trunks, and shoots bullets at Uubu (-_-'... bullets? please...). Vegita is angry that Super 17 has surpassed him and continues to fight on. He KIs up again for another attack only to be swatted away again.

During the ensuing melee on earth Piccolo and Dende continue to try to open the portal. The problem is that the 2 are not syncing the time they send the energy correctly. They try again and again: one, two three - shoot... they get close this time but nothing opens. Goku suggested that Piccolo and Dende try a different method to sync the energy shot together: instead of using 1, 2, 3, try using SHRIMP BOWEL, PORK BOWEL, CHICKEN AND EGG BOWEL (Piccolo freaks out at this, and tells Goku to stop playing around; but Goku goes on to say that he used this idea with Pan to beat another enemy). So, reluctantly Piccolo and Dende use the idea, and it works! It takes great effort between Dende and Piccolo to keep the portal open; Goku must quickly enter it before it closes. Unfortunately for Piccolo, he has to stay in hell as the portal will close without him there to keep it open. Goku thanks Piccolo and bids him Farwell, taking off for earth.

Curiously at this time we see two of the Dragonballs on earth are beginning to crack. Why this is so..?

Super 17 continues to punish Vegita who is now nearly unconscious. Dr. Gero gives the command to quit playing around and finish him off. Super 17 complies and begins to power up a KI blast toward Vegita. Pan, frustrated with the situation, takes Dr. Gero hostage from behind and demands that he tells Super 17 to stop the killing (Giru also helps by pointing an instrument at Dr. Gero's ear; he must know some robotic technique that will hurt Gero...). Dr. Gero is dumbfounded by the strength of Pan. Scared that Pan and Giru might do something to harm him he commands Super 17 to stop the attack. Super 17 complies and in a shocking move he turned his hand against Dr. Gero himself and begins to power up a KI blast again. Dr. Muy reveals that while in hell he reprogrammed the Hell Fighter 17 to work on his command only and that he is now a Machine Mutant: "Taking over the galaxy will be easy with Super 17, who is now a Machine Mutant!" Dr. Gero was stunned by this and sad that 17 will once again turn on him. Super 17 sends a blast to Dr. Gero exploding him into pieces also hurting Pan and Giru nearby. Dr. Muy continues to say that without Son Goku here, there can be no one to stop him. Vegita with his powerful pride, gets angry and says "why does Kakaroto have to save this planet; I'm good enough to do so myself!" Vegita KIs up again, and will not stay down even when he is beaten! Dr. Muy commands Super 17 to turn his attention on Vegita and destroy him. Super 17 blast a KI shot at Vegita and just as its about to hit him, Goku pushes him out the way saving him. Dr. Muy is stunned to see Goku escaping from hell. Now that Goku is back, he can take on Super 17. Can Goku save the day?

Super Android 17 saga Episode 5 (46): Super Saiya-jin 4 Goku VS Super 17!

The battle between Goku and Super 17 begins. Goku turns into Super Saiya-jin and stuns Super 17 with a punch which sends him halfway across the earth. Super 17 retaliates with an attrack called the Flash Bomber, that goes halfway around the world. Goku is too quick for this and in return counter attacks (across the earth) with another strong punch. The punch connects, but this time Super 17 is not fazed: "I've seen all this before. I know all your attacks" Goku sends another round of various attacks and Super 17 is not impressed. He begins to pound on Goku and beat him senseless. It seems that Goku is now beaten; at his current form he cannot beat Super 17. He powers up again and shoots more KI blasts towards 17. Here we see the first sign of Super 17's secret. Dr. Muy comments that Goku is an idiot, blasting him with more KI will only make him more powerful. Goku powers up and blasts a Kamehameha with no success. Super 17 walked it off like nothing happened. He punched and kicked Goku to the ground. As this happens Goku wonders why his Kamehameha has no affect on Super 17. Goku eventually gets knock into the water. Dr. Muy says "I know you cant be beaten this easily Goku, come out a fight!" When Goku emerges from the water he has transformed into Super Saiya-jin 4. Dr. Muy says "who are you?! Bastard!" Goku says "I am Super Saiya-jin 4 Son Goku!" "WHAT!?" Dr. Muy replies.

At the Son's house, Chi-Chi and Videl humorously prepare to fight evil and save the world (Bulma cant believe all this). Back to the fight, SS4 Goku and Super 17 begin to trade punches. Goku continues to blast 17 with more powerful KI shots, which again, seems to have no effect on the android. "Keep shooting at Super 17, Son Goku. Your too stupid to realize what your actually doing." thinks Dr. Muy. During this time Goku wonders (still unaware of Super 17 secret) if Super 17 really knows all of his techniques as he said earlier. Its at this time Goku realized what is really happening: Super 17 is absorbing all of the KI attacks shot at him (and all his techniques as well). Dr. Muy notes that Goku finally realizes the truth. At thats very moment Goku disappears. "Where's Goku?!?" Dr. Muy asks. Out of no where Goku appears and blasts a Kamehameha TIMES 10 at Super 17. Super 17 struggled a bit, but in the end absorbed all of the attack's energy with no problems (he actually looked excited when absorbing the energy). Dr. Muy says the Super 17 is perfect: the Ultimate Mutant Machine, he cannot be beaten. "Show him your full power!" Dr Muy commands to Super 17.

The battle continued to ensue. Goku tried different things and nothing worked; Super 17 can predict whatever Goku will do. After a powerful attack from 17, Goku lays on the ground uninspired. "Looks like I'm going to the other side again after all. I want to go to Heaven, hell's food is not so good..."

Super Android 17 saga Episode 6 (47): Goku and 18's two step attack

All is hopeless. Goku is down, uninspired to fight. Dr. Muy laughs and gloats at the superiority of his and Dr. Gero's creation. Super 17 powers up a dark KI blast and shoots it at Goku. Just as the attack is about to hit Goku, he teleports behind 17 and grabs him. Super 17 could not break free of Goku's grip. What Goku plans to do is blow himself up, while grabbing on to Super 17 hoping the attack will destroy him in the process (in a humorous moment Super 17 panics and says that he does not want Goku touching him; but Goku says I don't want to touch you either, but its all I can think off!). Dr. Muy was a bit concerned when Goku reveled his plan. Goku quickly sets his plan in motion and explodes leaving a great shock on earth!

After the explosion subsides Goku is now normal and is laying on the ground injured: " I cant even lift my arm." At first Dr. Muy panics in despair, but Super 17 emerges from a nearby lake and survived the attack. "If I had not use a barrier a the last second, I would have been destroy." Says Super 17. Dr. Muy rejoices and commands 17 to finish off Goku now! Super 17 prepares another KI attack at Goku (he is too injured to move) and as he powers up the attack Android 18 steps in and tells him to stop: "How dare you kill Krillin! I wont forgive you for this!" (Goku was shocked and upset to hear this). Android 18 taunts Super 17 saying he is a coward for not killing her earlier because he was afraid the bomb in her would explode (Goku reminisce over the fact that 18 already had the bomb moved from her by Shenron at the end of the Cell saga, and that she was bluffing. "Great bluff number 18!" thinks Goku). Dr. Muy says that it does not matter if you are near the bomb or not, just attack both of them and not worry about it. But the he goes on to insult Super 17 saying he's pathetic and possibly a coward. This angered Super 17 and in another shocking event, he turned on Dr. Muy and destroyed him! 17 turned his attention back on 18 and Goku and  begins to prepare another KI attack. 18 began her attack and shot multiple continuous KI blasts at 17. As we already know, 17 absorbed the blasts. At first Goku tired to stop 18, as he knows it will be useless. But during the time 17 absorbed the KI blasts Goku observed it leaved him wide open to attack. Now that he realized this, Goku encouraged 18 to keep firing. He jumped in front of 18, dashed towards 17 (who is absorbing all of 18's attacks) and executed the RYU GEN EXPLOSION attack! This leaves a big hole in Super 17. Then in the final blow, Goku unleashes a normal Kamehameha that destroyed the super android!

In an effort to bring order to the world (ravaged by the resurrected dead from hell) and to bring Krillin backto life, Goku and his friends set out to collect the Dragonballs of earth. But if we remember last time, a few of the Dragonballs were beginning to crack. It appears now all of them are cracked! This had everyone concerned as this have never happend before. Bulma was wondering if the Dragonballs would even work. Goku says "lets not worry about it, I'm sure it will be OK; maybe we can ask Shenron what's wrong when he comes out." So they gathered the Dragonballs and summoned Shenron. At first nothing happened, but at the second call something did emerge, and it was not Shenron: "I feel bad KI all around here!" Goku says. It turns out that the Dragon that did emerge was the Evil Shenron. What could this mean? A great danger on earth is about to emerge!
