Glass sat in meditation atop the Lookout, looking out into the skies surrounding him. Reaching down inside himself, the Namekian felt the ebb and flow of his energy, and welcomed the comfort it brought him. Below, he felt the ki of his two sons, Silic and Sodius, as they went about their business on Earth. They both stood out relative to those around them, although many schools amongst the humans had students stronger than even them.

Very few, however, stood a chance against the Guardian of Earth. Floating down from his position on the tower, he felt an approaching energy, and immediately turned to meet it. "Popo, how are you today? Is everything going well?"

The rotund genie nodded his head, smiling at the Namekian. "Yes, everything is going well. I came to remind you of your meeting this afternoon, with Capsule Corp."

It took Glass a moment to put things together. "You mean the awakening of that android they found, from the old Red Ribbon Army?" Popo nodded his head once again. "I see. I doubt the old thing will work, but if it does I can understand their concern. Thank you Mister Popo, I'll be on my way there now."

"Have a nice day, sir." Glass smiled at the genie before taking off, down towards the earth, heading towards West City at a casual pace. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the bustling city.

Cars filled the sky as the crowds made their way back to work from lunch, and pedestrians walked both on the ground and across sky bridges which criss-crossed the down town. Floating between buildings were billboards advertising hair products and insurance sales. Although hardly a city known for its lights, the hustle and bustle was enough to make the afternoon a dizzying haze of lights, colors, and sounds.

In the distance, Glass could feel a bundle of hundreds of moderately powerful ki sources, as well as a handful of stronger ones. One of the Turtle School dojos, if he recalled correctly. He briefly considered fling over to check out some of the fighters, maybe teach them something while he was at it, but ultimately decided he came to the city for a region.

Flying a short distance, he finally found the Capsule Corp Labs. They consisted of a half dozen towers, along with several smaller bunker-type buildings which sat low to the ground. Glass made his way to the one marked '3' from the air, and landing in front of the door, made his way inside.

After talking with an assistant, the Namekian found himself in a large room full of heavy machinery, computers, and different pieces of lab equipment. What stood out the most, however, was the single large capsule in the middle of the room, surrounded by cables and being observed by several interns.

Glass was approached by a older spectacled man. "Ah, Mister Guardian, I presume? I'm Doctor Brief, Thaddeus Brief. I'm the one who asked you come here. You see I'd heard about you from my instructor, I used to be a Crane Student understand, wasn't quite for me though, and remembered you when I thought how dangerous this could be. These androids, you know, they have quite a history and all. I could go on all day about it, but I'm rambling, aren't I?"

The old man glanced over at one of the interns, whom he motioned forward. "Asiz, you know you're supposed to stop me from rambling. Your professor will be hearing about this. Go ahead and start the rejuvenation process. Everyone, at your stations!"

With that, the handful of interns and doctors went to work, Asiz looking exasperated and downtrodden. Glass ignored them all, focusing on the capsule whose interior began to slowly glow. 'This could be big. These Red Ribbon androids are supposed to be on an entirely different level than any since. There's a reason they've been banned for centuries!'

"Wait, Doctor Brief, why are we even reviving this android?" Glass's eyes widened as the capsule flashed brilliantly.

"Five, Four, Three, Two, One! That's it, open the capsule!" Asiz pushed a button, and the capsule door slowly rose.

Fog rolled out of the capsule, and Glass stared into the mist, trying to feel out whatever was in there. Fists clenched, he stepped forward.

Snow white mist seeped out from the pod doors as they slowly started to open, the figures shadowy form slowly coming into view as the Professor spoke once again to try and reassure Glass of what they were doing, after all they were not fools by any measure and had destroyed more than their fair share of incomplete androids in the past.

"Don't worry so much, ohohoho." He pushed up his glasses with a smile crossing his lips. "It turns out that this android here was fitted with a sort of control collar to stop it disobeying orders. All it took was a few tweaks here and there in the programming of the collar to make it recognize us as its superiors. It should do just as we say, hopefully." At that final word of slight doubt, likely the reason Glass was even invited here, the pod had fully opened.

Grabbing the side of the pod Android #00 pulled herself out, her eyes flicking open to show the pupil-less shade of violet staring directly towards Glass. The collar around her neck looked sort of like armor and matched the rest across her body, the words I.L.O.S printed on it just below the reconcilable RR of the Red Ribbon Army.

Stepping up to the girl the professor decided to test out their little reprogramming "Android #0 raise your left hand" She remained still, still staring to Glass, causing the old man to rub the back of his head. "Hmm... Android #13 raise your left hand." With that she did so, her hand raising straight up in a sort of salute. "See. Harmless! Ohohohoho~ What wonders we could learn from such a advanced android. Our models may look advanced but they were never meant for combat you see."

Suddenly the android stepped forward towards Glass. "Piccolo, where is the location of Son Goku. Tell me and I will not kill you." Her voice was soft, gentle and yet robotic in nature, the same as for her expressionless face. "what?! Asiz check on the locks." She had not made a move but everyone was on edge as Asiz inched forwards to try and plug the device into her armor, however at the moment he tried he was suddenly swept aside by the androids back hand blow!

"If you do not know, I will blow up this entire building."

Narrowing his eyes, Glass flared his energy, slowly powering up in case things got out of hand. "Very well. I'll show you where Son Goku is, but I think you may be disappointed by what you see." Body tensed in anticipation, the Namekian stepped back and motioned to the door.

"After you.. Android."

#0 waited for a moment, looking from Glass powering up slightly to the door before starting to make her way towards it, and if left uninterrupted would exit out of it and then out of the building itself. Slowly she started to float up and awaited Glass, seemingly un-phased by the fact that 'Piccolo' was so willing to take her to Goku, then again she came to the logical thought that he may think he would have a easier time of fighting her if they were both together.

"I will keep my promise and leave the building alone."

Watching the android leave the building, Glass took a moment to swallow his nervousness before walking out behind her. "I'll lead the way, you just have to follow. It won't take us long, we're only a few minutes away from where he is. Let's go." With that, Glass floated past the feminine droid and sped off to the East, at top speed.

He assumed the android was following him. It was almost impossible to feel the android, by its very nature the being was part machine. Glass, unnerved, sent a telepathic message to his sons. 'Things may go down hill. Get in contact with the Crane and Turtle Schools masters. If things go downhill, I may need backup.'

Receiving a mental affirmation, Glass continued on at incredible speeds, towards the Son Family Temple.

Following close behind Glass she would soon find herself confused by the fact that they were not going near any of the palces that had been uploaded to her about where to find Son Goku apart from the location of his home which was not that far... In fact it felt like they were heading towards a pretty old location, Goku's farther's house? Slowly falling to earth #0 took a look around for a moment.

This place was different. "What happened here? Are you sure Son Goku is here?" The house didn't look like a house anymore, it looked built up more, more like it was a monument than anything else.

-----

Both of Glass's sons got their farther's message. They had been training together at the time, and other than affirming with their dad what he needed them to do, they both nodded wordlessly to each other as they fully understood there was no time for words if their farther of all people was asking them to get help. With a burst of energy they flew off in different directions to consult the schools.

Around the pair a sparse forest grew, as the nearby Mt Paozu stood proudly nearby. Although the home of Goku and even Gohan still stood, they had an old look to them, and a plaza had been erected nearby. Under the plaza, a statue of a great golden ape sat, seemingly meditating. A young boy with a tail sat on his knees in front of the shrine.

"This is the final resting place of Son Goku. His ashes are held in the statue in the shrine." Looking around, Glass breathed in deeply, and extended his senses outwards, to the surrounding forest and mountains. "You can still feel the energies him and his sons left behind, after all this time. They say that's why the Son family is still so important within the Turtle School, even though most of their family has very little Saiyan blood. I think the Son boys and girls just like to marry other strong people."

Turning the android standing near him, Glass crossed his arms. "So, I imagine you have a lot of questions."

the android retained the expressionless face as Glass explained, however soon that was shattered as a look of utter confusion and conflict sprung up deep within her. Her hand raised up to grab at her head as the armor bleeped time and time again in response to her actions. Her breathing had become heavy at this point but soon she started asking qrestions.

"Goku... is dead?.. Roshi? That Krillin boy? What about the Red Ribbon army? W-Why did they not revive me but you instead?!"

The armor seemed to glow as her movements once again became robotic in motion. Soon returning to her upright stance.

"Yes, all the people you've named are dead." Glass looked over at the memorial, where the Son child was still praying. "Goku died of a heart related illness in his early first century, even with medicine to help the synmptoms. Roshi of the Turtle School passed shortly before that, at the incredible age of four hundred. Krillin was one of the longest lived of the Z fighters, and lived well into his second century before passing."

The tailed boy nearby stood and finally noticed the pair nearby. As the child rushed off, Glass again looked at the now calm android. He was still tense, though the distant gathering of powers calmed him some. 'If things get dirty, I'll only have to hold her off for a few minutes. Hopefully I have it in me.'

"So, how does this affect things? What is your mission, and how does Goku's passing affect it?"

"New directives have been added. Three in fact. Number one, assure the the propagation of the Red Ribbon Army. Second, wipe out all that threaten the Red Ribbon Army. Including the Son family"

Suddenly her hand shot up, pointing towards the direction of the boy that had run off, a powerful spike in energy, that Glass could sense, gathered in the palm of her straight hand!

"That is... My top priority...."

Sensing the flare of energy, Glass pulled on his own ki. In the back of his mind, the Namekian could sense his sons and the two masters fly his way, but he couldn't afford to break his focus. Instead, pushing his energy out as rapidly as possible, Glass moved in front of the android, knocking her arm out of the way. It takes a surprising amount of effort to even do that. The android was clearly powerful, strong enough to call for everything the Namekian had. His anger rose.

"What are you talking about? That's a child, he couldn't possibly stand up to someone as strong as you!" Glass shouted, jumping back and pulling on his energy further, powering up to his full strength. "Besides, the Red Ribbon Army doesn't exist anymore! All that's left is a bunch of sympathizers and apologists, there's no army there!"

As her arm was knocked away the ki blast destroyed a tree near by the boy, causing him to fly to the side, though relatively unharmed by the way he spoke. "What was that for?! You crazy lady!" He shouted at the android, though her attention was now on Glass. "My objectives are clear..." The armor flashed once again, as her arms raised into a fighting stance and a aura burst around her.

"You have just become one of them. Please, die fast."

The ground cracked below her as she pushed off to dash towards Glass, her hand coming from the right to attempt to slam into his arm before she would follow up with a flurry of blows, they may have been predictable but they had a ton of power behind them, and with the armor protecting her own body she had little need to defend her body other than her head!

Eyes widening in shock, Glass barely had time to dodge the first blow before finally being best by a flurry of powerful blows. They were easily telegraphed after the first few strikes, following a pattern typical of a female her size, but the speed and strength were enough to bruise his arms as he blocked the blows he could not dodge. 'Have I been slacking in my training, or is the android really this strong?'

The assault didn't seem like it would end, the seamless combo's only weakness being that Glass knew exactly what would happen next a moment before it did. Knocking her hand aside deftly, Glass took the moment of unbalance to raise his hand. "Explosive Demon Wave!" A blast of inky purple shot out of his palm, the aura pushing her back, giving Glass some much needed breathing room.

'This is too much. I can't get an advantage in close combat, her blows are too powerful! She counters me too well!' Setting into a fighting stance, Glass prepared to defend himself. 'I guess I'll just have to wait for back up. Hurry, my sons.'

The wave hit her with enough force to send her flying back across the ground, having been unbalanced before and all, but seamlessly in the roll she made it onto her feet and locked back onto Glass where she pulled back one of her hands, the glow enveloping her hand almost blinding before she started to throw one blast after another towards him! The blasts designed to explode when they got close enough!

Glass saw the android quickly recover, before seeing the waves of energy gathering in her hands. Bracing himself for the following attacks, the Namekian took the first one head on, and felt the heat and shock waves run through his body. His clothes tore as he allowed himself to slip back, away from the energy assault, some burns forming on his arms. While not as bad as the punches, he'd definitely be feeling that later.

Hoping to use the ensuing smoke cloud as cover, Glass smothered his energy and rushed around the side, moving at his top speed before trying to engage in hand to hand combat. With the initiative, he hoped to get a flew good blows in before the android responded in kind.

#0 peered around in confusion as the namekian vanished within the dust cloud, though she soon discovered where he had gone when a fist connected with her jaw, sending her reeling back before the assault came. However thanks to her armor all she had to do was lock down and defend her face, but with each blow that connected with her arms a faint crack started to show up in the armor.

Shifting to the side she avoided a kick before reaching out to grab his ankle , pulling him closer before slamming a fist down into his midsection, forcing him to hit the ground with resounding force. Letting go of his ankle she grabbed onto his wrist and lifted him from the ground. "Commencing Energy Drain" Suddenly he would start to feel his power being absorbed by the android as she raised a fist to try and finish him off!

*Boom!*

Suddenly a blue beam slammed into the side of the android, forcing her to let go of Glass! Turning to the source she saw the Son boy standing in a Kamehameha pose. "Fine, then I shall deal with you now" With that she wasted no time in firing a ki blast right towards the child! Eyes wide in shock the boy stood there, unable to escape the blast, however with resounding speed it was reflected towards the sky! Standing infront of the boy was the Turtle School master Sho, stroking his very long beard with one hand while the other was smoking form the impact. "Gorin, haven't I told you to be more careful?" The Crane master Yi slowly floated down beside the other master as well.

It seems reinforcements had arrived...

In the clutches of the android, Glass felt his energy begin to drain away into the android, his fighting showing less impact as he fought. When a blue light flashed, the Namekian panicked as he realized it was the child who had come to save him, but fell back to a more comfortable distance as felt the familiar energies of Masters Sho and Yi interrupt. Landing beside him, his two sons Silic and Sodius arrived.

"Finally. That android has the ability to absorb energy, don't let yourself get caught." Glass' two boys nodded, their expressions serious. A sense of pride welled up inside the elder Namekian, but it was swiftly squashed before it became a distraction. "Silic, you're on distraction. Use energy attacks when there's an opening. Sodius, you're with me."

With that, the two Namekians charged, Glass going left while his son went right. With his energy drained, the elder was at an even bigger disadvantage than before, possessing hardly anymore energy than his son. One thing he did have was experience. Gathering energy in his eyes, a brilliant light flashed as he came face to face with the enemy once again, and began the now familiar exchange of blows.

Though outnumbered against the fighters #0 got right back into a fighting stance as two out of the five of them charged towards her, clashing in a two sided brawl where the android, though not out powered was outnumbered. Not to mention the fact she had to try and constantly keep away from the ki blasts that were coming from the 3rd namekian!

Meanwhile Sho and Yi, observing the fight for a moment "We should really help them." Yi suggested, Gorin of course seemed excited by that prospect "True, but too many people fighting one person at once, we would just get in the way..." Sho stroked his beard "However, maybe a combined assult of-," Yi smirked at the old mans suggestion, cutting him off "A combined beam attack hmmm? Boy, you help as well, you seem adept at using it." Gorin was taken back by the orders of Yi, but before he knew it the two masters started to charge up their attacks! They could only hope that the two fighting noticed and could work with their little ploy.

"Ka-me-ha-me-"
"Tri-Beam-"
"Ka-me-ha-me-"

"HA!"

With that three beams blasted out towards the android! A immense power behind it!

Silic stood back, away from the battle as he watched the battle, trying to predict where his target would move next. As the android would move, the teen would launch a dodon ray, which would usually be dodged or deflected. Growling in frustration, Silic fought the urge to rush into the brawl. 'Damnit father, why am I fighting back here!'

Launching into a combo, Sodius tried to force his opponent back into his father, while also forcing an opening for his brother. Many of the blows missed, and the ones that didn't seemed to affect the droid very little. 'That armor, it's getting in my way!' An attempted sweep of the legs failed, and the Namekian snarled. 'Why can't I land a good hit? Why can't I beat her?'

As he felt the frustration of his sons rise, Glass also felt the gathering energy behind him. 'Back, now!' In unison the three of them jumped back, as the colossal amount of energy surged forward. Turning his head away, Glass hoped the attack would finally end the conflict. 'This is getting out of hand quickly. We need to end this.'

Pulling on his reserves, Glass prepared to charge back into the battle once more.

The android was as predictable and slow as always, but the sheer foresight and armored form of it made it a hard nut to crack that much was for sure, that was under the tri beam blast slammed into it! Covering its form in blue and yellow light the android fell to the ground with a crash, breaking the ground form the sheer weight of its armor.

The crane master did not stop there though and unloaded a salvo of ki blasts into the rising dust until he was stopped by master Sho. "That is enough. Can you not tell the girl is finished? I cannot sense her anymore" Yi sighed "You are right. I was just making sure" Not everyone knew of the androids unique trait it seemed.

"Ha... Hahahahahaha.... HAHAHAHAHAAHA!"

Suddenly a burst of laughter came form within the smoke as the sound of creaking and breaking metal could he heard by all. Within the smoke the form of the android could be seen standing as shards of metal fell from its body one by one, each one cracked and shattered by the assult Glass and his sons put against her. The beams were the final nail it seemed.

"Free!"

The once expressionless face of the android now held a grin of excitement, and not only that but by this point power could he clearly sensed coming from the android! "I don't think I really introduced myself.." Flexing a bit she knocked on the collar that still remained on her enck before looking right up to Glass "I am android 13... Nice to meet you Mr-not-Piccolo"

"Don't just stand there you fools! Finnish her off!" Yi jumped into the air before Sho could stop him, readying another tri-beam and firing right at the android. "Oh, this is going to be fun" Leaping right towards the beam a violet shield formed around her body as she cut through it, popping out right in front of his hand, fist raised. "It is rude to interrupt!" With hat the fist connected with Yi's jaw, sending him flying into several trees, breaking them in the process.

Within the blink of a eye she had vanished below to the boy and Sho, behind them so the Namekians could not hit her with ki blasts right now. Following her vanish she fell down to the ground, avoiding Sho's punch and duel kicking him into the air towards Glass! She was so much more fluid than before, even taking the distraction of the flying Sho to grab onto Gorin's tail and lift him up so he was eye level with her. It seemed the android had captured her objective.

"Let me go!"

The boy landed a punch onto her cheek, though she remained smiling "Heh, So be it." Tightening her grip on his tail it caused the boy to pass out form the pain, though unlike what the others suspected she would do she tossed him towards Yi who was just getting back up, sending him flat onto his ass. "Hold this. I am going to have some fun" Reaching up she ripped the final piece of armor from her neck, the needles that were once stabbed into her now in pieces across the ground.
