When Two Become One

Trunks stared up at the sky, watching as the portal closed. Whatever it was, he was glad it was gone. That giant hole just felt so very evil. And, much to his concern, he had sensed someone come out. Whoever, or whatever, it was, if felt just like Dr. Myuu. But that couldn't be. Dr. Myuu was dead. He'd seen Baby kill the guy himself.

"Wow." Said Bulma. "I've never seen anything like that before. Gosh, what do you think it was?"

"I don't know," he said, "but I don't like it." He glanced at her. "Mom, you stay here. I'm going to go check things out."

Bulma looked worried. "Why? Do you think something bad has happened?"

He didn't want to worry her, so he said, "No, not really. But it's better to be safe than sorry."

Bulma reluctantly agreed and watched. "Good luck, son."

The two doctors and the android descended down into the city. Both Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu looked around excitedly while 17 seemed more curious.

"Things have changed." He said. "Most of this was all in ruin. How'd they rebuild it all so quickly," his eyes narrowed, "and precisely?"

Dr. Gero chuckled. "It does not matter. It just means you'll get to destroy it all again. And this time, no one will be able to stop you."

"I long to see the final phase of our plan come to pass." Said Dr. Myuu. "This will go further beyond anything we have ever dreamed." He turned to 17. "The time has come. Call you're other half."

17 smiled and called out to him telepathically."It's time. Come to me now."

Dr. Gero grinned. "This will be our ultimate achievement. Anything we have created in the past will be but a pale comparison to our new creation." When he received no reply, he turned to his partner. "Don't you agree, Dr. Myuu?"

The other doctor had a frightened look on his face. "Y-Yes, I do agree. But we may not see that dream realized. Look!"

He pointed up at the sky. The other two turned to see a small speck quickly approaching. That small speck grew larger and turned out to be Trunks.

17's eyes narrowed. "It's him."

As Trunks got closer, he suddenly froze in midair. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Dr. Gero, Dr. Myuu, and 17 were here. They were actually here. But how could that be, they were supposed to be dead? That's when he noticed the halos floating over their heads. So they weredead. But then how were they here? They should be in Other World.

'So my senses were right. It was Dr. Myuu that came out of that portal. And I just couldn't sense Dr. Gero and 17.'

Dr. Gero smiled at Trunks. "Well, look who's here. It's the son of Vegeta. So good of you to join us."

17 waved tauntingly at Trunks. "Hello there, Mr. Super Saiyan. So nice to see you again."

Trunks glared at them. "What are you doing here?"

"We have some unfinished business with you." said Dr. Myuu.

Trunks got into a fighting position. "I don't know how you guys got back here, but I'm going to send you right back where you came from."

17 hovered forward. "Not this time. This time it will be you who dies."

18 sensed Trunks nearby. She also sensed that despicable Dr. Myuu. She didn't know how it was possible, but she was sure it was him. But was itonly him, or had someone else come back with him, like 13 perhaps.
