Well, here’s a fine How-do-ya-do… I am called Junanagou… otherwise known as Android 17.

A couple months have passed since I finally got out of Cell’s Android body… you know that he absorbed me? Well, I got out because Gohan finished off the monster… and now, I’m here… so let’s get on with what happened after I finally got out… about a few weeks after I escaped the wrath of Cell:

Chapter 1

Someplace…

I sat beneath a tree and yawned. The day was going by slow, and I could feel it. My sister, Juuhachigou, leaned on the tree’s trunk.

"So, what do you want to do today, Juuhachigou?" I asked, plucking at the grass next to me. Juuhachigou shrugged, her shoulder-length blonde hair being combed back by her hand. Mine’s the same length, only black.

"I guess it’s your choice, Junanagou." I sighed. Yep… today was just a lazy day. I was about to relax again when I suddenly heard a scream… a scream of pain.

"What was that?" I quietly asked my sister.

"I don’t know… let’s check it out!" Juuhachigou whispered back. We got up and silently ran to where the scream came from.

"No! Don’t hurt me!" We hid behind a rock so we could see, but they couldn’t see us. I saw a young girl, about 17 with red hair, and a very tall man was picking her up, about to beat her face.

"Where is he?" the man screamed in her face. I could feel Juuhachigou’s hand on my shoulder. I looked back to see she had her other hand covering her mouth. She had tears in her eyes, feeling sympathetic for the girl. I looked back at the man and the girl and realized that the girl had radiant green eyes. The man, as tall as he was, was still just a little bit scrawny, with a large trench coat over him and wearing a large hat to mask his face and head. Of course, that was nothing compared to what I saw next. I was finally able to recognize the voice… the man that was holding her… I knew who he was, and I’m sure my sister did, too. I could figure out who he was by the sound of his voice: the deep, raspy voice. Looking closer, I also saw that he had a pale face and "soulless" light blue eyes … I gasped in horror as I finally figured out who the man was… Cell.

 

Chapter 2

Same place…

"Juuhachigou… do you see that?" I whispered to my sister. She slowly looked at me and nodded.

"We have to help her… no matter who she is!" Juuhachigou answered softly and started for another rock. I looked at Cell again and suddenly a flashback went though my head:

‘Don’t worry about me, I can lick ‘em!’ I remember saying to Juuhachigou and Android 16… all of a sudden, a blur of green and black emerges and I start the fight of my life… I get beat up, and nearly absorbed—until 16 rescues me. He shot Cell into oblivion and stopped when there was nothing left but a whole.

‘I told you… Domo Arigato, 16’ I said… suddenly I feel the hand of Cell upon me, and I’m instantly absorbed…

I shuddered at the flashback and looked around. Juuhachigou was nowhere to be found… until I looked to where Cell and the girl were. I stand speechless as I see my sister walking up to Cell. I decided to follow.

"Let her go!" Juuhachigou yelled at Cell. He just smirked and started laughing, his tail growing longer out of his trench coat.

"You heard Juuhachigou… let the girl go!" I yelled confidently, despite my racing heartbeat. Cell stopped laughing and looked at me… glaring at me… smirking at me…

The girl finally slipped out of his grip and ran behind me.

"Domo Arigato. I’m Phoenix." She said. I looked at her.

"No time for introductions." I said. Juuhachigou glanced at the girl and me.

"Junanagou! Get the girl out of here!"

"But what about—"

"NOW!!!" Juuhachigou screamed at me then started after Cell. I grabbed the girl’s arm and ran as fast as I could away from the fight.

"Phoenix, is it?" I asked when we got as far away as I could. The girl smiled.

"Yeh. That’s my name." I calmed down a little bit.

"I’m Junanagou… my actual name is Android 17."

"Oh… and, by the way… you can call me Nix. It’s probably easier." Nix smiled again. I could feel myself blushing a little bit.

"Okay… Nix…" I stared. Suddenly I felt a strange aura around us. I looked around uneasily, and I guess Nix could feel what I did, because she started as well.

"I sense… I sense… something not good." I whisper. Nix whimpered softly and held on tight to my arm. Once again, I hear a voice… raspy, but unrecognizable to me.

"Damn straight, Kiddies!" I turn around to see a changeling, about 4’11" with robotic implants and red eyes. Nix gasps.

"Frieza!"
