Memory of the Sun

Chapter 37: Z Fighters vs. The Androids (Part 3)

The fire roared behind her as Luna watched in horror while Yamcha's arms dropped to his side, the taller android's hand still sticking out of the fighter's back as she sensed his energy literally being drained from him. Time seemed to move in slow motion as she gasped, watching as the android yanked his arm back out of her friend, fresh blood from the wound staining the ground beneath them.

Luna backed up slowly, letting out a terrified scream as Android 19 stepped closer...

...

Not too far away...

...

Goku ran through the streets, stopping suddenly as he sensed something was very wrong. He looked in the direction of the power level that was slowly fading, jumping into the air before taking off quickly.

Tien frowned, sensing the same thing as he headed that way as well. "Someone's power level is draining... But whos?" He mumbled, knowing he would have his answer soon...

"I've got to hurry!" Piccolo said to himself, flying towards where he sensed the disturbance. He flared his ki, enabling himself to fly faster as he blasted across the city, hoping he wasn't too late...

Android 19 smirked evilly as he took another step closer, his twisted smile growing as Luna inched back nervously, tripping over a piece of rubble before falling backwards. She looked up with wide eyes, seeing the fat android's face glaring down at her as his eyes flashed red.

"Subject unknown... Subject unknown..."19 frowned, taking another step forward as he attempted to scan her again. Luna just sat there, shaking as she tried to stand but for some reason, her legs didn't seem to be working... 

W-what's going on? I- I can't move! She thought, panicking as she stared into the emotionless face of the android above her, feeling Yamcha's energy getting dangerously low. What Trunks said... It... It's coming true... And I'm going to be next...

Android 19 frowned, looking up for a second before jumping back as someone landed in front of Luna.

"T-Tien!" She said happily, stumbling to her feet as she sensed her other friends coming closer as well. Just as she was getting back up, Piccolo, Krillin and Goku all arrived on the scene, gasping in shock when they saw Yamcha's limp body still being held up by the android.

"Oh no! Yamcha!" Goku shouted, anger lacing his tone as he watched the white haired man glare back coldly. Goku growled as the android tossed Yamcha's body aside carelessly, all of them waiting for what would happen next as the Saiyan knew he had to act fast.

"Krillin listen! There's still a chance to save him!" Goku said quickly, looking over at his friend for a moment as he stared back in shock. "Take him back to Bulma and give him one of the senzu beans! Go now! As fast as you can!"

"I'm on it!" Krillin nodded, stepping forward cautiously as he picked Yamcha up. The bald fighter frowned, seeing how close to death the man was as he knew he really had to hurry.

"I should go with him..." Luna mumbled, looking over at Goku and Piccolo as she watched them frown.

"No... We need you with us." Goku stated seriously, looking over at Krillin. "I'm counting on you Krillin!"

"Right!" Krillin answered, flying off towards the cliff where Bulma was as fast as possible.

Luna looked down, frowning as she saw all the blood on the ground... Yamcha's blood. She clenched her fists as her sides, embarrassed about the fact that she became so paralyzed by her fear earlier. It won't happen again...

"So these are the big bad androids?" Piccolo asked in his deep voice, glaring at both of them as he went on. "Kind of funny looking if you ask me..."
