Unlimited energy vs Ever growing Ki

Android 17 was done with his fair share of human hunting today, he had won the contest against his dear sister 18, she was the loser once more.

As for 16, the man only waited quietly in the outskirts of the broken town.

"Such a killjoy."

17 complained while rolling his eyes at 16, but as always 16 ignored his attempts to rile him up.

If it wasn't for 16 being stronger than both of them combined, 17 would have long shown the guy who's boss.

"I win, 17."

18 came in flying with a vicious smile and instantly ignited 17's anger.

"What!? I killed 28 of them, and I got a family this time around too, that gives me extra points."

Putting her hair behind her ear, 18 rolled her eyes at her brother.

"Well I killed more old people, they give more experience."

*Grr*

17 growled, his sister really liked to flaunt her killings too much, more than him, this won't work.

"Listen here sister-"

*Booom!*

But out of nowhere a massive wave of energy decimated their surroundings, the yellow glowing energy had a hint of green to it, very little but it was quite noticable.

This is something 17 and 18 understood quite intuitively, because this energy blast had just hit them in the face, burning their skin from it's sheer heat.

While 17 and 18 were trying to get their bearing back, 16 who was sitting motionless with a bird on his finger, raised his eyes.

".. Raditz."

"Highest priority."

16 said without any mood swings in his voice, now that Goku was dead his priority has shifted to Raditz.

Raditz was infact everyone's top most priority, as long as he lived they wouldn't be able to do what they wanted.

But he was supposed to be dead, yet he stood here before him, although this didn't phase the robotic 16, it very much pissed off 17 and 18.

"Raditz?? Are you kidding me big guy, wasn't this guy dead?"

*Click*

17 spoke while climbing out of the crater, he was snapping his neck to get rid of the pain.

18 also climbed out of the crater with a frown on her twisted face, she was really angry her nails got destroyed in this attack.

"Raditz? I don't know where you hid all this while, but you messed up coming here alone."

18 threatened Raditz with sharp eyes, all three androids had their attention on him.

But Raditz himself only floated before the trio, his energy going up each second and his height slowly increasing as his Iakri was tapped into more and more.

"Really? From what I see 18, it's you who messed up."

Laughing with her hand over her mouth, 18 gave Raditz a sly look, and 17 backed his sister up too.

"We messed up? Buddy, did you forget the part where we have Infinite energy and are stronger than you?"

"Maybe you don't know, your kind can't sense us isn't it."

"Well, take it from me then, judging from your previous shot, you are strong, but you aren't anything we can't handle."

18 completed 17's words, but it's only 16 who remained quiet until now.

16 was someone who had a sensor so powerful he could detect Gohan's hidden strength before even Gohan could.

And he was similarly sensing Raditz's hidden strength, and what he was sensing wasn't good at all.

"Negative."

16's voice brought 18 and 17's attention back to him, and 17 asked what's the problem with a shrug.

Although he was curious as to why Raditz's just stood there, slowly growing bigger and looking angrier, 17 had no fear.

Until he heard what 16's next words that is.

"Target has infinite energy too."

The startled 18 immediately snapped her head towards 16.

"What?! Is he some kind of android as well?"

Ignoring 18's words, 16 slowly began removing his fists from it's sockets.

*Click*

Exposing the barrels inside his hand.

"No, he is a biological being."

17 looked unsure and questioned 16's words.

"You must be mistaken then, there is no way he has infinite energy."

"You see, he only stands there looking angry, he doesn't even have the guts to attack."

Shaking his head at 17's inference, 16 raised his blasters and pointed them towards Raditz.

"No, he has unlimited energy, and it's growing every second."

"He isn't just standing there, he is gathering strength."

*Zoooom*

Yellow energy began gathering inside 16's blasters as he locked onto Raditz.

"During this span of time alone, he has surpassed both of your energies and is reaching mine."

"Suggested action, eliminate swiftly."

17 and 18 although were unsure but were starting to feel some fear, seeing 16 so serious they had to get serious too.

But 17 wasn't very pleased that he was said to he weaker than Raditz, he would prove the big guy wrong, maybe that will bring down his attitude.

"You hear the big guy, how about-"

"Hmm, I am almost habituated to my rage form, thanks for waiting, everyone."

Raditz's sudden words stopped 17 mid sentence, and they sounded very mocking to 17, who glared at the massive man and was about to attack.

*Booom*

But 16 was faster than him, and the energy canons hit the floating Raditz.

A point blank attack.

"He dosen't look very smart, he just sat there and took it."

18 huffed watching the energy drown Raditz's body, but 16 immediately opened his eyes wide and yelled.

"Get down!"

*Crack*

Sadly before they could, 17 and 18 both felt their spines crack.

*Boom*

*Boom*

And got ragdolled into some buildings, the siblings had no idea what just hit them, but 16 saw it clearly.

Raditz had teleported behind the siblings and each of his foot made contact with each of their lower backs.

The resulting shockwave alone had 16 tensed, this wasn't just a pure ki amped attack, it was hitting much harder than it was supposed to.

"Your muscles, they are stronger than what they should be."

Said 16 before reattaching his fists to his body, with the speed Raditz just showed he can never lock onto him anymore.

Turning towards 16 who was getting ready to brawl, Raditz's yellow eyes started at him without emotion.

Although the well hidden rage behind his eyes was something 16's sensors had detected.

And he had reached a conclusion, that all this time Raditz wasn't only increasing his power, he was trying to tame his emotions.

"So your sensors found it huh? Sorry, never had to use this state, it's new to me and I was a little jerky."

"But I am certainly good to go now, thanks for giving me the time."

Flipping his royal robe with well hidden anger behind his stare, Raditz took his stance.

"I heard that I am your top priority and you are supposed to be really durable, the second toughest android."

"Let's test that theory shall we?"

*Swish*

Suddenly teleporting before 16, Raditz elbowed the man straight into his metallic gut.

*Crack*

Cracking the housing from inside, 16 himself was sent flying through the air and crashed into the struggling 18.

Again downing both of them, hurting 18 more than hurting 16, 17 had also climbed up by now from sheer tenacity and was glaring at Raditz.

"You monster."

Spat 17, and immediately flew towards Raditz, attacking him head on.

*Boom*

And was met with a fist straight to his cheek, sending him crashing into the growing pile of androids.

Once again burying 18 and 16 into the rubble.

But Raditz knew, although he seems to be having the upper hand now, it was because they weren't fighting together.

'I tried to take them out one by one, but these guys are too durable.'

'Looks like it's a tough fight ahead then.'

Although watching the androids climbing up from the pit Raditz didn't look too tensed.

He had a good grasp of his state now, unless he is knocked out his body will always produce energy, and if he keeps it to levels he can control.

He'll essentially have infinite energy and won't lose control, now it was just a matter of time, he will get used to his current level of power before growing further.

The androids were doomed from the moment they gave Raditz the chance to get used to his abilities, now their life span depended entirely on how fast Raditz can master his new power level.

"You know, you guys would have made good training partners, shame you had to be such sick bastards."

Raditz's words echoed in the dusty battlefield, hearing that 17 and 18 were completely pissed and slightly fearful too, they weren't showing it but they were hurt pretty badly with that kick.

16 was right.

They have to team up or they were toast.
