Callion! A New Life in DBZ! (OCxAndroid 18)

Chapter 23: Remote

Callion had enjoyed his time with 18, but he hated how angry she seemed the entire time. He had tried to lighten the mood by telling a few jokes but 18 weren't feeling the jokes at all which eventually caused Callion to give up on trying to become her friend. She was exactly like how she was in the anime, cold, but deep down inside he knew her true self, he just couldn't find a way to deal with her.

Days had passed with nothing happening. Callion hadn't seen 18 in days, but he could tell that all the Z-warriors were still on edge even after all the time that had passed. Trunks had been training with Vegeta, Gohan with Goku, Krillin with Tien, and Piccolo with Callion.

Eventually, they all felt themselves hitting a wall that they couldn't overcome. No one was getting stronger, but they all knew they had to improve in other ways which might not involve strength alone.

Callion was the first to figure it out. He'd developed two new moves to add to his arsenal once he reached his limit and he'd been proud of the progress he'd made outside of just power. His two new moves consisted of a trap move that trapped his opponents in a cage surrounded by ki, but it only lasted 10 seconds before it disappeared. It wasn't meant to do any damage, but it was capable of slowing his opponents down long enough for him to come up with a game plan. His other move wasn't as clever, but it was powerful.

The first attack was named, Bird Cage, in which Callion mentally slapped himself for being so uncreative. His super attack was named Absolute Power Beam.

Callion had also been spending a lot of time with Bulma because he was the most knowledgeable on the Android's next to 16 who had also been a big help to Bulma. They had figured out a way to shut the androids down with the press of a button. Once they found and remade the remote, they had made a plan just in case the Android's decided to fight against them. 16 agreed that it would be the best course of action.

Though things had been peaceful, Callion had managed to stay alert, until one day an attack actually came.

Callion felt the portal open somewhere near North City. He quickly grabbed his jacket, threw it on, and dashed towards North City as fast as he could but he could already tell that lives were being lost. He could feel the energy of many people starting to disappear and knew that a massacre was occurring.

Eventually, Callion arrived and began searching for whoever was causing this much havoc. That was until he felt someone approaching him, then suddenly something tried to tackle him. Fortunately, Callion was prepared for anything and hadn't let his guard down at all.

Turning around, he kicked his new enemy into the ground then got a good look at who had attacked it.

It was a Salmon soldier.

"How?" He thought. The soldier picked his head up, then fired a blast from out of his mouth that Callion hardly dodged and even though the blast was small, it was incredibly fast and probably would have pierced his jacket if not for him dodging at the last second.

Before Callion could even do anything, a blast came right towards Callion, causing the saiyan to jump away from the body he was near, only for another blast to appear and completely obliterate the enemy Callion was stepping on.

Vegeta appeared soon after with an angry look on his face. "You're getting soft. Don't let that idiot, Kakarot, turn you into a softy."

Unfortunately, Vegeta was right and now that Callion got his memories back, he knew that the way he was before is the way he should always be. To spare an enemy's life could only let that enemy grow stronger and eventually come back to do harm. Callion needed to become a Saiyan again.

"Are there any more enemies?" Callion asked once Vegeta landed beside him.

"Yes, do you recognize them?" Vegeta said while looking at the pieces of armor, covered in blood, that had flown off the creature's body. Callion nodded his head and Vegeta smirked. "Those pesky Salmon soldiers are back."
