(A/N: I'm sure there's all a question you're dying to ask, and some of you already have. Is the worst DBZ villain, Baby, going to show up? Well, you'll have your answer at the end of this chapter. That's not a 'yes' or a 'no', but a 'you'll see'.)

Chapter 24: When Mutants Attack
A bead of sweat ran down Trunks' cheek at the appearance of this new opponent. Individual, the Sigma Force was indeed powerful, but they were also manageable. Merged together, they were truly a force to be reckoned with, and could create a problem if they weren't careful.
"Impressive." He admitted. "Though I should have seen it coming."
"Make jokes all you want." Sigma Force Cannon told him. "You stand no chance against me."
18 took a fighting stance. "We'll see."
She flew at Sigma Force Cannon, throwing a punch. The machine mutant vanished, much to her surprise, and she hit nothing but air. He reappeared above her, slamming his elbow down on her head. Then he delivered a powerful kick to her side.
18 went flying. Flipping to land on her feet, she turned to Sigma Force Cannon. He was already coming at her, swinging his large metal fist. 18 crossed her arms, blocking the punch. She retaliated by firing a blast of energy at him, but Sigma Force Cannon vanished and reappeared behind her, slamming his elbow into the back of her head.
Once again she went flying, but this time the machine mutant didn't give her time to recover. Flying faster than she was moving, he flew above her and brought his balled fists down on her back, smashing her to the ground.
"18!" Trunks cried.
Sigma Force Cannon landed a short distance away and crossed his arms. "Ha, ha, ha. That was pathetic. It's just as I predicted. You are no match me."
Growling, Trunks took a step forward, but a cry from 18 stopped him. "Trunks, no!" Shocked, Trunks looked at her. 18 slowly got to her feet. Moving a lock of hair out of her face, she smiled at Sigma Force Cannon. "This one is mine."
Trunks looked surprised, but stayed back, allowing her to fight.
Sigma Force Cannon looked at her with what would have been a curious look on his face if he were capable of facial expressions. "So, you want some more. Very well then, let us continue."
18 just snickered. "Don't be so sure of yourself. You just caught me off guard is all."
Sigma Force Cannon laughed disbelievingly. "Is that so? Well then what are you waiting for? Show me what you've g-"
She vanished and was suddenly hovering over him. Her foot collided with his head. This time it was Sigma Force Cannon who went flying. 18 flew in his path and fired a blast of energy. Sigma Force Cannon crashed into the ground, bounced once, and then hit a rock wall.
Stuck to the wall, Sigma Force Cannon took a moment to regain his composure. 18 appeared in front of him and repeatedly threw punches into what she guessed was his chest. Sigma Force Cannon's whole body shook from the series of punches.
18's fist suddenly hit rock as Sigma Force Cannon melted into the shadows. 18 blinked in surprise, watching as the shadow the machine mutant had melted into ran across the wall.
Once out of her reach, Sigma Force Cannon stuck his head out of the shadow. "Impressive. So you do have some fight in you."
"And you have a rather unique way of sneaking up on people." 18 observed. "That's how you were able to sneak up on us before."
Sigma Force Cannon laughed. "We have many abilities, as you will soon discover."
His extendable fist shot out of the shadow. 18 reacted quickly and grabbed his flying fist before it hit her. Sigma Force Cannon tried to pull his fist back, but 18 wouldn't let him.
"Release me at once."
"Sure thing." she replied. "But first, come out here where I can see you."
She yanked on his arm and Sigma Force Cannon was pulled out of the shadow. Swinging down, 18 slammed the machine mutant to the ground, creating a crater from the force of impact.
18 dropped the extended arm on the ground and looked at the fallen machine mutant. Placing her hands on her hips, she gave him a cheeky grin. "You weren't so tough."
Sigma Force Cannon shifted around. "I'm not beaten yet."
He fired lasers from his eyes. 18 twisted sideways, avoiding the lasers. Sigma Force Cannon was suddenly on his feet. Two slots on his body opened to reveal Bizu's matching machine guns. A shower of bullets flew at 18. With quick hand movements, she snatched the bullets out of the air before they hit her. She grinned and dropped them on the ground.
A third slot on Sigma Force Cannon's body opened to reveal the Ribet Rocket. "Catch this."
He launched the rocket, and, quite unexpectedly,18 did just as he said. Snatching the rocket, she threw it back at the machine mutant. Sigma Force Cannon took to the air, avoiding his reversed attack.
He vanished and reappeared behind 18. Her fist flew back, slamming into his face and knocking him down. Whirling around, she fired a blast of energy, but Sigma Force Cannon disappeared, and her attack exploded against the ground.
Behind her once again, Sigma Force Cannon unleashed his drill. 18 spun around and caught the drill before it hit her. Her grip on the drill tightened until it stopped spinning.
With her hands occupied, Sigma Force Cannon used the opportunity to slam his large metal fist into the side of 18's head. She went down, and his foot went up. Just as he brought it down with earth-shattering force, 18 jumped up, only to have Sigma Force Cannon's other foot slam into her gut.
18 flew backwards, flipped backwards, and kicked off the wall, shattering the rock with the force behind her. Flying towards Sigma Force Cannon, her fist collided with his head, and the machine mutant went crashing down.
Settling on the ground again, 18 dusted herself off. "I think he's down for the count."
Sigma Force Cannon lifted his head. "Wrong again."
His body suddenly seemed to dissolve, breaking down into little metal balls. These balls flew at 18 and began swirling around her like an angry swarm. 18 watched the flying balls, wondering what he was up to.
Suddenly, all the balls flew at her, and Sigma Force Cannon reformed himself around her. 18 suddenly found herself trapped within his metal body, with only her head and an arm sticking out.
"I have got you now."
A cloud of gas escaped from his body surrounding 18. She closed her eyes, not quite sure what the stuff was. When she realized nothing was happening, she opened her eyes again, blinking a few times.
"Sleeping gas?" she asked with a snicker. "Did you forget that I'm an android? That stuff won't work on me."
"It does not matter." Sigma Force Cannon replied. "You are finished. You can not escape."
18 just grinned. "You think so? What if I told you I was holding back this whole time?"
Sigma Force Cannon seemed unfazed by this statement. "You are bluffing. My sensors indicate that you are already at full power."
She chuckled at this. "Well then you're sensors apparently aren't as good as you think they are."
She glanced at Trunks, and he nodded. She nodded back and began to power up. The air around her crackled as her energy increased, the intensity of her power causing the ground to crack.
"What is this?" Sigma Force Cannon asked in bewilderment. "How can you have this much power?"
18 grinned. "Wanna know the truth? I'm just getting warmed up."
She cried out as her power increased further. The affects of her energy was begin to affect Sigma Force Cannon, and he began to smoke as sparks traveled along his body.
"Power level increasing! Power level increasing! Danger! Danger!"
18's power erupted. Sigma Force Cannon burst open and his parts went flying everywhere. 18 hovered in the air, her body glowing with power as Sigma Force Cannon's parts rotated around her, caught up in her energy field.
With her opponent defeated, 18 powered down again, letting the pieces of Sigma Force Cannon's body fall to the ground. She took a calming breath and wiped the sweat from her brow, then went to rejoin Trunks.
"How'd I do?" she asked.
Trunks nodded in approval. "Very good." He glanced at the other two. "Although they seem to have different opinions."
Rilldo was seething with fury. Smoke emitted from his body as his anger took control. He looked ready to burst into flames, either that or an all out attack.
"You... little pests." He hissed. "To think, that you were able to defeat the mighty Sigma Force. It's unthinkable."
Dr. Myuu, on the other hand, was much calmer, having watched the fight with interest. "Actually, it's rather impressive. I have to give props to whoever made you."
18 glared at him. "You can tell him yourself when we send you to Hell."
Dr. Myuu laughed. "Such arrogance. You win one battle and you think it's all over. Unfortunately for you, General Rilldo is much stronger than those defective nothings. Isn't that right, general?"
Rilldo seemed to calm down and smile. "Yeah, that's right. If you thought the Sigma Force was tough, you haven't seen anything yet."
Trunks prepared himself. "Likewise. I've got a great deal of power myself."
Rilldo chuckled, stepping forward in challenge. "I figured as much. I can sense your power. Sadly, it's weaker than your companion's, and much weaker than my own."
Trunks grinned. "I don't know about that. I've got some reserves hidden away."
The machine mutant grinned. "Well then, what do you say we skip the warm up and go straight to full power?"
Trunks didn't have any complaints. "If that's what you want."
Rilldo crossed his arms and looked at the saiyan expectedly. "Then show me what you've got. Let me see you at full power."
Trunks' knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists tightly. No more words were spoken. Instead, he yelled loudly as his power shot up. His hair turned gold and his eyes turned green as he became a Super Saiyan. With another cry, his hair extended slightly and his muscles grew larger as he went to the next level, becoming an Ascended Saiyan.
Whatever Rilldo had been expecting, it wasn't this. The boy's power had gone to heights far greater than what he had expected. Now the boy stood as a golden warrior with a power that dwarfed any other he had felt.
"What?" he cried in disbelief. "What is this? Where'd all that power come from?" He glanced at 18. "You're power was less than hers, now it's gone way beyond what she showed us."
18 felt the urge to brag for him. "That's because he's a Super Saiyan. Actually, he's ascended beyond a Super Saiyan."
Rilldo's eyes narrowed. "What the hell is a Super Saiyan?"
Dr. Myuu chuckled. "An old saiyan legend. I had thought it was just nonsense, but it appears the legend is true." He seemed pleased by this discovery. "This is certainly a pleasant surprise. To think that the last saiyan would be the one to bring the legend to life. It's ironic really."
"Super Saiyan." Rilldo grumbled. "He's still no match for me."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Said Dr. Myuu. "If you knew what I do about saiyans, then perhaps you'd be more cautious. In any case, I am curious about this Super Saiyan power. General, I want you to make this saiyan reveal what he's truly capable of. I want to see the true power of a saiyan."
Rilldo grinned. "As you wish, sir. I'll take great pleasure in this."
Then he too began to power up. As his power increased, Trunks realized that it was as bad as he thought. General Rilldo was indeed stronger than him. It made him nervous, but he didn't consider himself beaten yet. Just because his opponent was stronger, didn't mean that he was out of the running. After all, Goku had defeated opponents stronger than him all the time. And hadn't Gohan managed to defeat Cell at full power while he was injured and at the end of his ropes?
That didn't mean he wasn't anxious. Rilldo seemed to notice his nervousness and smiled. "What's wrong, Super Saiyan? You look worried."
A bead of sweat ran down the side of Trunks' head. Oh yes, he was worried. It was the androids all over again. The only difference was that this time he could feel the intensity of his opponent's power, and it was making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Well?" Rilldo asked. "Are we going to fight, or what?"
In answer, Trunks flew at him, throwing a punch. Rilldo caught his fist. Trunks punched again, only to have his second fist caught as well.
"You'll have to do better than that." the general told him, then he slammed his forehead into Trunks' face.
Releasing one of his hands, Rilldo threw Trunks over his shoulder and slammed him to the ground. Then he brought his elbow down on Trunks' chest. The saiyan gasped in pain. Rilldo grinned and picked him up by his hair.
"Is that it? Don't tell me you're finished after that. I barely touched you."
"Then let me return the favor."
Ignoring the pain of being held up by his hair, Trunks kicked both feet into the general's gut. Rilldo grunted in pain, releasing the saiyan. Trunks remained hovering in the air, spinning around and kicking Rilldo in the head.
18 jumped in the air as Rilldo went flying towards her from Trunks' kick. She smirked as she saw him crash into the rock wall. "That's gotta hurt." She taunted. "Not so cocky now, are you?"
Rocks went flying as Rilldo's power erupted. Regardless of being kicked, he was smiling. "Now that's more like it." He flexed his muscles. "Now we can really get started."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Trunks asked. He raised his hands. "Masenko-Ha!"
Rilldo cried out loudly, and the power of his scream broke apart Trunks' attack. Then he flew at the saiyan with a hungry look in his eye. Trunks began firing blasts of energy, which Rilldo easily avoided, and the two slammed together in combat. Punches and kicks were exchanged as the two fought.
Trunks' fist slammed into the general's face, and Rilldo delivered a powerful punch to Trunks' gut. Trunks grunted and grabbed Rilldo's wrist. He spun him around and then threw him in the air and began throwing blasts of energy. Rilldo stopped his movement and, seeing the energy blasts coming, curled up to shield himself. The energy blasts hit him repeatedly, emitting puffs of smoke upon impact. Trunks kept up his attacks until Rilldo was completely hidden within the cloud of smoke. Then he fired a much stronger blast, hoping to finish the general off.
Alas, it was not meant to be. Once the smoke cleared, Rilldo was revealed to be still very much alive.
Lowering his arms, he grinned at the saiyan. "Why'd you stop? We're just getting started?" He motioned for Trunks to come towards him. "Come on."
Giving the machine mutant what he wanted, Trunks began to power up, screaming all the while. Then he launched himself at the general. Rilldo smiled, readying himself for Trunks' attack. But the saiyan suddenly disappeared.
Taken aback, Rilldo looked around. "You can't hide from me."
"Who's hiding?"
Rilldo turned around and looked up. A moment later, Trunks' sword cut him right down the middle. Trunks smirked at the look of surprise on the general's face before it split in two."
Down on the ground, 18 cheered. "All right! Wait to go, Trunks. You beat him."
But Dr. Myuu just chuckled. "Don't be so sure, my dear. This battle is far from over."
The shocked look on the two halves of Rilldo's face broke out into a grin. Now it was Trunks' turn to be surprised as the two halves of Rilldo came back together and healed completely.
"You look surprised." Rilldo commented. "Come on, snap out of it."
He held up his arm and launched it at the saiyan. Trunks' eyes widened as the flying limb slammed into his face, causing him to drop his sword. Rilldo smirked and directed his flying arm to circle back. This time Trunks was ready and he caught Rilldo's arm. Tucking it under one shoulder, he fired a blast of energy.
Rilldo went crashing to the ground. Tossing the general's arm aside, Trunks landed away from the machine mutant. He raised his arms, gathering a vast amount of energy as he prepared a powerful attack his father had taught him while they were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together.
"Final Flash!"
An enormous blast of energy erupted out of Trunks' cupped hands. Rilldo was astounded by the intensity of the attack. Unable to avoid it, he vanished with the mighty beam of energy.
Trunks directed the attack away from the planet, sending it into space, where it erupted, lighting up the whole sky. Exhausted, he lowered his arm, hoping he had managed to defeat the general.
No such luck. There was a puddle of liquid metal on the ground. This puddle rose up and reformed into Rilldo, who grinned at Trunks.
"That was a very nice try." He admitted. He held up his missing arm, and the part he had launched returned to its original position, reattaching itself. "I must admit that I'm impressed." He grinned. "So I think it's time to take it up to the next level."
He chuckled at Trunks' confused look. Suddenly his body seemed to crystallize. The metal crystallization spread over his whole body, completely distorting his features. Then his body smoothed out again, and General Rilldo was transformed. He stood twice as big as before, his body now completely metallic. He was completely silver in color, aside from what seemed to be the ends of gray bolts or screws sticking out of his chest and shoulders.
Trunks looked at this much larger metal version of Rilldo in surprise. 'His power's increased. Great, as if things weren't bad enough.'
Rilldo grinned at the saiyan. "What? Did you think you were the only one with the power to transform? Sorry to disappoint you. Better get ready, cause here I come!"
He was suddenly in front of Trunks, his fist colliding with the saiyan's gut. Trunks doubled over in pain, only to have Rilldo's knee slam into his chin, sending him flying upward. Rilldo's arm extended upward, grabbing Trunks' leg and pulling him back down. His fist once again slammed into Trunks, this time in his face, sending him flying backwards.
As Trunks flew through the air, Rilldo went after him, quickly catching up. He hovered just above the saiyan, smirking when Trunks opened his eyes to see the general's face right in front of him. Rilldo snickered and send a blast of energy into Trunks, knocking him to the ground.
Trunks hit the ground with a painful thud. He got no time to recover as Rilldo's large metal foot stomped down on him. The general snickered and began rapidly stepping on the saiyan.
"Give up yet?" Rilldo asked, continuing to bring his feet down. "Not going to answer? Fine then!"
With a great deal more force, he stomped down on Trunks. The saiyan cried out in pain, causing the general to snicker. He lifted his foot and stomped down a second time. Trunks gasped and spit up a mouthful of blood. Rilldo's grin widened and he lifted his foot again.
18's foot suddenly collided with Rilldo's head, knocking him away from Trunks. She bent down and helped lift him to his feet, looking at him worriedly. "Trunks, you ok?"
He coughed a few time, struggling to find his balance. "Well... I have been better."
Rilldo, already on his feet chuckled. "So, little missy, you've decided to join in on the fun."
18 glared at him. "That's right. I'm in this now too."
Trunks moved away from her, finding his strength again. "18, no, I told you to stay out of this."
"We never counted on the fact that he could transform." She told him. "At this rate, no matter how much you weaken him, it won't be enough for me to beat him without your help. Our best chance now is to attack him together. He's too strong to be fought one on one."
Rilldo began laughing. "Too strong? You haven't seen anything yet. I can become even more powerful than this."
"What?" Trunks gasped.
"No way." 18 scoffed. "He's gotta be bluffing."
Rilldo grinned. "I have no reason to bluff. Just watch and see what I'm truly capable of."
His power began to flare up again. There was suddenly a magnetic pull and the pieces of the Sigma Force that were scattered about came flying towards the general. The broken pieces seemed to melt into his body. Rilldo cried out as his body was transformed once again. He now stood in his metal form with brand new body armor covering most of his shiny silver skin.
"Ah, yes, now that's what I'm talking about." Said Rilldo contently. "It's been so long since I've reached my full potential." He glanced at Trunks and 18. "Now that you see my true power, are you really so anxious to continue?"
No, they were not. Both Trunks and 18 were visibly trembling. The amount of power Rilldo was now emitting was beyond both of them. They stood no chance now, no chance, and they knew it.
"Well?" Rilldo asked. "What are you waiting for? Feel free to attack at any time."
Trunks' eyes narrowed as he pulled himself together. "Fine then."
He flew at Rilldo at top speed. Using as much power as he could into his punch, his fist slammed into the general's face. Rilldo's head merely snapped to the side. Other than that, he seemed completely unharmed. In fact, he seemed disappointed, looking at Trunks in a bored way.
"Don't tell me that was your best shot." He asked. "That was pathetic."
Trunks slowly pulled back his fist, unable to believe that his attack had barely fazed him. 'It can't be... It's the androids all over again.'
Rilldo cracked his neck and grinned. "Let me show you what true power is."
He tensed up, gathering energy. Then he unleashed it in a massive explosion. Even 18 and Dr. Myuu, who hadn't been caught in the blast, were thrown backwards from the shockwave of the attack.
Trunks crashed to the ground, bloody and bruised, his clothes torn. He felt woozy, yet he forced himself to stand up. 18 landed by his side, having recovered from the attack as well.
"It's unbelievable." She whispered. "His power, it's too much."
Trunks nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we're in real trouble here."
Rilldo snickered. "Yes, now you see how pointless challenging me is. I can't be defeated. Not by you, not by anyone."
The sound of Dr. Myuu's clapping distracted them. "Very good, General Rilldo. Very good. You are truly the strongest fighter in the entire universe." He chuckled. "I must say, I did have my doubts. I thought that the one who defeated Luud might hold that title. But after that little display, I'm convinced that you have more power than anyone else." He grinned evilly. "And now the time has come to create the ultimate warrior."
If Rilldo had had eyebrows, he would have raised one in question. "Sir?"
Dr. Myuu began chuckling. As he laughed, his voice began to change, becoming more evil and raspy. Then his body suddenly went limp and he collapsed.
(A/N: I believe I made the answer to the question rather obvious, but don't immediately assume the worst. I'm planning on doing something very interesting, and things concerning both Trunks and 18 are going to change, particularly in Trunks. And before you ask, no, there won't be any possessing, so have no fear of that. By the way, poles for villains are still open you know, but there won't be anymore GT villains so sorry to those of you that wanted to see them, and sorry to those of you that hoped I wouldn't include Baby, but he is necessary, as you'll see later.)
