(A/N: Here's the next chapter. As you can tell from the chapter title, things not everything is right. There's going to be a real big problem at some point in this chapter. I've also got a real surprise for you all at the end, and I think you'll be pleased.)

Chapter 18: From Bad to Worse
Under 18's control, the Big Gete Star detached itself from Earth. At this point, Trunks had already left the giant ship. He now stood outside on top of one of the many piles of broken robot warriors. He looked up as the Big Gete Star drifted further and further away from the planet.
"18." He whispered, hoping she was ok.
But he didn't need to worry. The android soon came flying down from the sky, the large ship burning behind her.
Landing next to him, 18 gave Trunks a smile. "Miss me, big boy?"
Rather than being happy, Trunks was upset. "That was dangerous, 18. What if you had gotten stuck in there?"
18 just waved it off. "It was all under control. I merely entered the Big Gete Star's database and overpowered Cooler. Then I set the ship to self-destruct once it was away from Earth and went back inside my body. Nothing to it."
Trunks cut his eyes at her. "Yeah, nothing to it..." he muttered, looking back up at the Big Gete Star. "But Cooler is still in the system. Since you're not controlling it anymore, couldn't he take over again and stop the self-destruct sequence?"
18 rolled her eyes. "Have some faith in me, will you. I made sure to damage things enough so even if he does resume control, he won't be able to stop it. Now stand back and watch the show."
The Big Gete Star continued to drift away until it was far away enough that it could do no harm to the planet. Then the sky lit up as the Big Gete Star exploded. Trunks and 18 shielded their eyes against the light as even the night side of the planet was engulfed with light. When the light faded, there was nothing left of the oversized spaceship except for debris.
Trunks breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to his knees. "It's over."
"Yeah." 18 replied. "Quite an interesting day." She smiled as she looked up at the sky, seeing pieces of the Big Gete Star fly by before they burned up in the earth's atmosphere. "It's kind of pretty, huh?"
Trunks looked up at the sky. "I guess."
Something shiny twinkled up above. A star. Too bad he couldn't make a wish on it and fix the damage Cooler had just caused. But he supposed he could settle for using the Dragon Balls.
A frown suddenly crossed his face. 'Wait a second. A star? In broad daylight?' The twinkling star he saw suddenly launched a blast of energy at them. "Heads up!"
He and 18 took to the air as the energy blast created a large crater in the ground. They reappeared up in the air, looking down at the damage that had been caused.
"That was close." Said 18. "Where'd that come from anyway?"
Looking up, they saw the very person they thought they had just defeated. Cooler was still alive, once again in a brand new body in perfect working order. But there was one minor difference in this Meta-Cooler from the others. The whites of his eyes were pitch black, glaring at the two of them furiously.
"You again?" 18 muttered. "I thought we killed you."
Cooler glared at them. "Almost. Fortunately for me, I had an escape route that you weren't aware of. You see, unlike those other Meta-Coolers, this one is different. I'm not controlling it from a distance. This is the real me."
"Can't be." Said Trunks. "I destroyed the real you not too long ago."
"Idiot boy." Cooler grunted. "My consciousness had already fled and entered this body a moment before you're attack hit. What you destroyed was a brain-dead flesh of meat. Everything that I am is now in here."
Trunks' eyes narrowed. 'Just like what Dr. Gero did for 16 and 19. He put all that they were in the android bodies and then let the empty shells of their bodies die. That means this new Cooler is the real Cooler now.'
"So," said 18, "that means we just have to beat this last one and then you really will die."
Cooler smirked. "Don't be so confident. I already told you that this body is different from those remote controlled other ones. Not only is it an actual mechanical body, it's also a lot stronger. The material it's made of is even different."
18 raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Isn't it just metal?"
"There are many different types of metal. Have you ever heard of a substance called Katchin?"
"Called what?"
"Katchin." Cooler repeated. "It's the hardest metal in the universe, practically indestructible. I had this body made entirely out of Katchin Ore. Every knut, every bolt, every wire, every last part. But just in case you do, by some miracle, manage to damage me, I have the repair program installed in this body to fix any and all damage I might obtain."
18 crossed her arms. "I think you just like to hear yourself talk."
She flew at him, throwing a punch. Pain exploded in her knuckle as her fist made contact with Cooler's chest. The alien didn't even flinch from the attack. He simply looked down at the surprised look on 18's face at her useless attack.
18 stared at her Cooler's undamaged chest in disbelief. "What? How did he?"
She pounded her fists all over Cooler's torso, trying different angles and locations, but Cooler's incredibly hard body remained unharmed.
"You done?" Cooler asked.
His tail suddenly shot out, striking her and sending her flying. Trunks quickly flew in her path and caught her. Once he was sure she was all right, he looked back at Cooler in concern.
'That hard body of his may prove to be a real problem.' He set 18 down on her feet. "Ok, now it's my turn."
Jumping to Ascended Saiyan, he flew at Cooler, slamming his fist into the alien. The force of the blow sent Cooler flying backwards, but he remained unharmed, even as he went crashing through the debris of his former soldiers and remains of the Big Gete Star.
Trunks rubbed his wrist. That had really hurt. He wouldn't have been surprised if it was broken, or at the very least sprained. It appeared that physical attacks wouldn't work any longer. But while Cooler's defense was now unbelievably powerful, he still wasn't as strong as the saiyan.
Cooler burst up from the pile of scrap metal without a scratch on him. He dusted himself off and looked at Trunks with a grin. "Just as I thought, this body really is indestructible. I should have attacked you in this one to begin with."
Trunks glared at him. "Your body is really hard, but it's not indestructible. Lets see how it holds up against energy attacks."
He fired an energy blast. Cooler vanished, moving at rapid speed that surprised even Trunks. He appeared behind the saiyan before vanishing again and reappearing above him, then disappearing once again. He continued this game for several seconds before delivery a powerful kick. Trunks grunted, and attempted to hit him, but Cooler was too fast. The alien was suddenly behind him, his fist slamming into the saiyan's back.
"You're too slow." Cooler told him. "You'll never be able to catch-"
Trunks fired a blast of energy at random and got lucky. Cooler went down, equally as surprised as Trunks that he was hit. He recovered quickly though and got up.
"Nice shot." He told the saiyan. "But you're luck has just run out."
Trunks turned to him, "Don't be so sure. You're defense is amazing, and your speed is light-years ahead of my own, but you're lacking in strength."
"What?" Cooler demanded furiously. "That's ridiculous. I designed this body to be twice as strong as the other Meta-Coolers."
"Yes, that's true," Trunks agreed, "but you're strength is still beneath my own."
Cooler growled. " If that's the case, then perhaps I should make that strength my own."
He held his arms out. The tips of his fingers opened and ten long wires shot out, wrapping around Trunks. It was just like when he was back on the Big Gete Star. These wires were sucking up his energy.
Crying out, Trunks struggled against the bindings, but they refused to let go. And, to his horror, he saw that these wires were also made out of Katchin, just as Cooler had said.
"Struggle all you want." Cooler told him. "It's useless."
18 rushed forward to help. She grabbed hold of Trunks and pulled, but the wires remained tightly wrapped around the saiyan.
"Let him go!" she shouted.
She shot a beam of energy at the wires, but they merely sucked up the attack, making Cooler laugh. "Energy attacks won't work. These wires are designed to suck up power from whatever they touch."
"Can they absorb this?" 18 asked. "Solar Flare!"
The wires released Trunks as Cooler was forced to shield his eyes. "That damn light attack!"
18 pulled Trunks away from Cooler. "You ok?" she asked.
Trunks regained his composure and nodded. "Fine. He didn't get that much."
Regaining his sight, Cooler looked at the two of them. "Then allow me to try again."
The wires shot out of his fingers again. 18 quickly pushed Trunks out of the way, only to be ensnared by the wires herself, which began immediately draining her of energy.
Trunks quickly jumped to his feet and charged at Cooler. "Let go of her!"
He punched and kicked, putting all his strength into his blows. And though Cooler stumbled about, his Katchin body did not gain any damage. Cooler smirked, then suddenly his tail shot out, wrapping around Trunks' throat. The saiyan's hands immediately went to his neck, clawing at the metal tail cutting off his air supply.
"Now stay right there." Cooler told him. "Once I drain her, your Super Saiyan strength shall be mine."
Suffering from her energy being drained, 18 looked up at Cooler. "Well... you're going to be waiting for a very long time."
Cooler just grinned, not knowing or caring what she meant. "The more power you have, the better."
Through her pain, 18 managed to smile. "Fine then. Take it. Take all of it!"
She began to power up. Cooler's grin widened as he was filled with her energy. But as he continued to drain her power, his smile turned into a frown. The energy just kept coming, and 18 wasn't getting any weaker. She just stood there with her energy swirling around her as his wires continued sucking it up.
Cooler began to twitch as he started to feel overwhelmed. Then his frown became an angry scowl as it began to hurt. "Just how much power does she have?" he wondered out loud. "It just keeps coming."
18 smirked at him. "You made the same mistake of not knowing your enemy. You know that I'm an android, but what you don't know is that I have an unlimited supply of energy. It doesn't matter how much you drain me, because I'll never run out."
Cooler gritted his teeth against the overwhelming waves of energy washing over him. "I... can't... take it... Too much..."
His wires retracted, retreating back inside his fingers. But 18 reached out and grabbed them as she continued to power up, forcing Cooler to absorb more energy.
"Stop!" Cooler wailed. "I've reached my limit! I can't take anymore! Make it stop!"
"No way." 18 told him, keeping a firm grasp on his wires. "You wanted my power, now you're going to get it."
Cooler began to smoke as sparks of electricity started surging over his body. His eyes rolled around wildly and he screamed loudly, trying to pull free from the android's hold.
"Can't hold... anymore... Going to... short circuit..."
His head suddenly snapped to the side and his body tensed up, a large puff of smoke rising from his open orifices. The hissing sound of air escaping him emitted from his mouth and he fell face down on the ground and remained motionless.
18 finally dropped the wires. She hurried over to Trunks, who was sputtering and gasping for breath after having his air supply cut off. Leaning down to support him, she helped him get to his feet.
"You like taking risks, don't you?" he asked.
"You could say that." She looked down at the fried Cooler. "That's it for him. He's toast."
Trunks glanced at the twitching alien. "I don't know, he's still moving."
"Reflexes?"
"I don't know if mechanical bodies have reflexes. We better blast him just to be sure."
"Hold up!" She pulled him away from Cooler. "First let me see how you're doing." She gently touched his neck. "Ouch. That's probably going to bruise."
Trunks couldn't help but to grin. "Then it'll blend in nicely. By this time tomorrow, I'm going to be a Super black and blue Saiyan."
Cooler suddenly jumped to his feet, startling the other two. He was still alive after all, but he was in bad shape. Smoke rose from his body as sparks went flying from him. He was twitching terribly, as if on the verge of falling apart.
"Y-Y-You d-d-damn-n bit-ch." He stuttered, furiously, though his stutter was due to the damage to his body rather than his anger, also resulting in his voice being distorted. "I-I-I-If y-ou t-thi-ink th-th-this-s is-s ov-over, y-you've-ve g-got another th-ing c-co-com-com-com-ing-ing."
He flew up in the air and raised his hand. A large ball of energy appeared over him that began growing at an alarming rate. Both Trunks and 18 looked up at him in horror. That gathering mass of energy was powerful enough to destroy the planet several times over, and it was still growing.
Cooler attempted to laugh, but even his laugh was distorted. "W-Wh-What d-do you s-s-say t-to this-s? I-I'm go-ing t-t-t-to b-blow this plan-et-et s-straight-t to He-Hell! N-Not even you-ou c-c-an st-stop-p-p me n-now."
It seemed he was right. Neither Trunks nor 18 could stop that large ball of energy. Cooler wasn't holding anything back. He was giving it everything he had, intent on finishing them off, even at the risk of his own life.
"I h-hope you-you're read-dy-dy t-to d-die-ie!"
Trunks braced himself. He knew that trying to stop it would be futile, but that didn't mean he was just going to sit back and let Cooler destroy the earth. He was about to fight back when he felt an enormous gathering of energy from behind him. At first he thought it was 18, but then he remembered that 18's power couldn't be sensed.
Glancing at the android, he saw her still standing beside him, her eyes locked on Cooler up above. She was so focused on Cooler that she was unaware of the gathering energy.
"Get down!" he cried, pulling her down.
Grabbing her, he dropped to the ground just as a mighty beam of bright green energy was unleashed from the source of the gathering power. Cooler's eyes widened in surprise as the blast came right at him.
"W-What-t?"
The beam of energy slammed into him, pressing him up against his own gathering energy. Cooler, along with his Supernova attack, were blown back and forced up into space. The alien's cries rang out as he was forced further and further away from Earth.
His hard body began to crack, the fractures traveling all over his body before his skin finally shattered, exposing his robotic skeleton. His Supernova attack finally erupted against the energy blast that had forced him up and away, lighting up the sky. Cooler howled loudly, his screams going by unheard from the massive explosion as his body was obliterated, finally putting an end to the tyrant once and for all.
As the explosion began to dissipate, Trunks and 18 got to their feet. Looking up, they saw a small temporary star flickering in the sky from the blast slowly fading away. Cooler was gone, they knew that for a fact. Katchin body or not, there was no way he could survive a blast like that.
"That was too close." 18 muttered. "Someone really saved our asses."
Trunks nodded. "Yeah, though they almost blasted us as well."
He turned in the direction the blast had come from. He saw someone a great distance away, slowly hovering over to the two of them. Trunks waved at them, trying to get their attention.
"Who's that?" 18 asked, squinting her eyes to get a better look. "Someone you know?"
"Their too far away to tell." Trunks replied. "Their energy signal seems familiar though."
The approaching figure suddenly put on a burst of speed and was suddenly floating directly over them. As 18 gave them a curious look, Trunks felt his stomach drop out underneath him.
"Whoa." 18 muttered. "Big guy."
Fear gripped Trunks and he slowly moved in front of the android. "18, get out of here now."
The seriousness and fear in his voice startled 18. She glanced at Trunks before turning back to the newcomer. He was extremely tall, towering a total of 9'3. He wore no shirt, but that was probably due to the fact that his massive muscles couldn't be confined in one. And while his great size and body mass had caught 18's attention at first, she now noticed something else. Whoever this man was, he had a monkey tail. And his hair was very similar to Trunks' when in the Super Saiyan state, only this guy's hair had a bit of a green hue to the gold. His eye color remained a mystery, as they were glowing too brightly to make out, and a bright green aura danced around his body, revealing only a fraction of his true power. If 18 didn't know any better, she'd say that this person was a saiyan, and a Super Saiyan at that.
"Trunks..." she whispered uneasily. "Who is this?"
The saiyan glared down at them with a look of insanity on his face. "Kakarot..." He began to twitch, as if he were about to have a seizure. "KAKAROT!"
Power exploded around him, throwing the two of them back. They found their footing and covered their eyes against the dirt and debris that went flying around them.
"What's going on?" 18 asked, she glanced at her companion. "Trunks, you know something. Who is this?"
"Broly." Trunks grunted. "The legendary Super Saiyan."
(A/N: Didn't expect that, did you? Cooler was just a warm up for the real fight. Broly is back, and just as destructive as ever. Where he came from and how he got here will be revealed next chapter, but both Trunks and 18 are in big trouble. By the way, in case you don't know or of you've forgotten, Katchin was the metal block that broke the Z Sword. Cooler had made a body made out of the stuff. But Broly's attack took him out. Now both Trunks and 18 are going to experience his power.)
