Lazuli attacked without warning, dashing right toward the undergrown Artificial Human and shooting a low kick at him, but her exuberant opponent hopped up and avoided the strike with a plump-lip smirk. Following up her attack, Android 18 threw a jab, but her fist became stuck in her opponent's open hand. With his tiny legs wrapping around 18's neck, the purple-faced Android swung his entire body while swinging Lazuli aside.

The assailant extended his hands, aiming at Lazuli, who was flipping in mid-air to correct her position. Just as a teal light erupted from his hands, Krillin smacked into the little guy's back, throwing him off his balance and leaving the wide-hatted Artificial Human fumbling. This gave Android 18 the chance to correct her position and unleash a hail of Ki blasts while hanging upside down. Krillin gasped and ran for his well-being while the enemy lacked the balance to do much else than cover himself up.

18's blasts lit up the road that the three were fighting on, but when the smoke settled it became apparent that the attacker didn't take too much damage. He dusted off his lightly rustled and tattered jacket and corrected his bow tie before shaking his fist up at Krillin, who hung higher in the air and panted in relief that he dodged 18's retaliation in time.

"Ya little pimple, I'mma smack ya!" the cartoonish-looking assailant exclaimed in a low-pitched yet rather weak-sounding voice that had bits of artificial modulation to it. Almost like the voice that came from a stuffed toy when one squeezed its belly. This was an especially ironic comparison, given the highly vulgar choice of words from the purple-faced toy-man.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking Lazuli? Aren't both of you two Artificial Humans?" Krillin called out the dwarfish man who only pouted his lips and squeezed the ends of his bowtie as if he took offense at that.

"So what? Are we supposed to be all buddy-like just 'cause both of us are the same kind? That's offensive, you know. Not all of us are the same..." the enigmatic Artificial Human hissed back at Krillin.

"Yeah, Krillin, what the hell? How can you compare me to some plastic, cartoony piece of scrap like that?" Android 18 crossed her arms, calling Krillin out instead of focusing on the battle at hand.

"Th... That's not what I meant!" Krillin leaned back, making himself full of openings in his freakout. He certainly didn't expect both Artificial Humans to lash out at him at the same time.

"If you must know, name's Android 15 and I'm from a whole different series of Androids, bald-ass punk," Android 15 pointed at himself with his thumb before setting his focus back on Android 18.

Artificial Human No. 15 soared with a rolling high-jump before transitioning into a Superman punch style cross. Lazuli leaned out of the way before kicking at the bottom of the floating Android and tripping him up into a wild spin. Without adjusting her position, the female Android shot her palm out to the side and sent her opponent flying with a thunderous palm slam. It was only then that she transitioned into a flying knee shot and burst with a white aura in pursuit of her opponent into the skies. 18 pummeled her opponent with a rush of punches in mid-air before flipping over into a vertical, upside-down split kick rush. She finished the beatdown off with a double ax handle slam that grounded Android 15 in a rural area near a small western-style town.

"What's your business with me anyway? Did the old hag send you to destroy me for walking off and doing my own thing? I thought that with the countless times we've threatened her we'd do that, she should've gotten the hint already..." Lazuli dragged her hand across her hair, ruffling it in the howling gale while approaching the poor midget stuck upside-down inside of a fissure of his own making with just a pair of dangling legs on the outside.

Lazuli kicked the little Artificial Human out and pointed two fingers at him, expelling a tiny yet unstable Ki blast from their tips but the purple-faced Android extended his hands and formed a teal-colored electric barrier around him that blocked the potent blast denying a chance to damage him. The tiny purple man repositioned himself back on his feet, taking a little second to pant and recover after feeling the right side being up again.
