No.18 wasted no time in beating the shit out of Trunks. All his blocks and counter attacks were useless as she was just too strong and too fast. When she's beaten him enough, she prepared a ki ball in her right hand and prepared to throw it at the now totally helpless Trunks, when something in the sky caught her eye. It was a little man, or boy, who looked like a doll. She hesitated for only a fraction of a second before she aimed the ki ball at Chiaouzu instead. Then she threw it. At Trunks. His body twitched violently as the ki ball hit him, then it was still. She smirked as she saw Chiaouzu's eyes widen in surprise as she flew toward him with blinding speed.

"What the...Why don't my psychic powers work..." It was Chiaouzu's last thought as No.18 delivered a fatal blow to his neck, then his lifeless body fell into the ocean with a loud plopping sound, making ripples across the blue ocean.

By now, No.17 had moved away from the lifeless Gohan and he watched his sister with interest, his arms crossed. She flew back to the island and calmly walked to Kuririn. Kuririn was still under shock. His mind couldn't register the fact that his friends were all dead, one by one, in just a matter of seconds. So he didn't hear Tenshinhan yell at him, "Kuririn! Run!!!" before making a huge Kikouha blast at the cyborgs. He knew he was using all of his life energy, but he didn't care as darkness overwhelmed him, and he fell down, dead.

The Kikouha made a huge hole on the ground, but it was all in vain. No.17 floated above the hole and smirked. "That sure was stupid." No.18 didn't say anything. Her attention was still on Kuririn, whom she had grabbed and carried with her in one hand as she jumped up to avoid the blast. Kuririn blinked as he slowly recovered from his shock.

"Did she...did she just..save my life?" he thought. He got his answer in the form of a most horrible pain in his chest as No.18's other hand went through his heart. The last thing he saw was her beautiful face as she withdrew her bloody fist from his chest and let him fall into the hole made by Tenshinhan's Kikouha.

Piccolo couldn't wait any longer. From Kami-sama's palace, he could see Yamucha's death, and Gohan and Trunks being beaten to pulp. If Kami-sama was finally going to make up his mind now, well it's too late, Piccolo thought angrily, as he rushed to save the remaining warriors.

From where he was, Vegeta could feel powerful kis disappearing on Kame Island. He could still feel Goku's ki, though still very weak. So he hadn't recovered from his illness yet. Vegeta wouldn't let anyone touch Goku. Only HE is allowed to kill him. Still, Vegeta couldn't shake off the feeling of unease at the pit of his stomach, as he felt another ki he wasn't yet too familiar with, but could recognize anyway. It was weakening rapidly. His son was dying, he realized, as he flew as fast as he could towards Kame Island.

While all this was happening, No.16 was at the back of the house, playing with the little birds and admiring the beautiful scenery of the ocean. He was a tad annoyed when the Kikouha scared the birds away.
