(A/N: I got a lot of reviews last chapter. That makes me so happy. I know I said I was aiming for about 50 chapters, but it looks like there's going to be a few more than I thought.)

Chapter 50: The Escape
Things had finally gotten back to normal. Whatever had been troubling 18 seemed to have passed. She hadn't told them what the problem had been, only that she had taken care of it. After that, she had pretty much reverted back to her normal self. She was still a little cold at times, and she would occasionally get angry faster, but that was it. Except for her stubbornness, that seemed to have increased as well.
But none of these things even mattered to Trunks. In fact, after dealing with it for a couple of days, the very slight change in her personality didn't seem any different from the way it was before she faced 13. Both Trunks and Bulma were glad. And seeing as whatever had been bothering her was no longer there, they decided not to bring it up.
18 was surprised with the way she settled back into the normal routine she had been living in before regaining her memories. Of course, things could never be the way they were before, but she was content with the way they were now. She was still angry at Trunks for killing her brother, just as he was probably still angry with her for all the people she killed. Maybe they never would get over their anger, but they would be able to move past it.
Everything that had happened over the past year had changed 18. The way she saw things, her outlook on life, her understanding of others. All these things had transformed her. And she was surprised to find that she didn't want things to go back to the way they were before her memory loss. Yes, she missed her brother, but she was finding herself happier with the life she currently had now than with the one she had before.
Trunks and Bulma still had no idea that 18 had regained her memories. They still trusted her and let her go out on her own. Just like today. Today she had said that she had an errand to run and had gone into the city. While she was away, Trunks was busy training, as usual. Bulma couldn't help but to smile at how alike he and his father were. And if she knew her son, and she did, another similarity was about to come out.
"Trunks," she called, "time for lunch!"
And so, the same eating habits that Trunks always showed surfaced. The plates piled up rapidly, and the food went down so fast that Bulma wondered how he even fit it all in his stomach.
"Be careful you don't choke." She told him. "I've always been worried that you'd eat too fast and it would go down the wrong pipe."
Trunks laughed. "Aw, Mom, come on. I'm a Super Saiyan. I can't be killed by something as silly as choking."
"Don't be so sure." She told him seriously. "After all, it was something silly like a virus that killed Goku."
Trunks groaned. "Way to ruin my appetite, Mom."
"Hey, I'm just concerned for you. You already risk your life fighting all these bad guys, is slowing down your eating just to be safer really so much to ask for? I'd sleep a lot better at night knowing at least one danger to my son's life was gone."
Trunks rolled his eyes. He had long since accepted the fact that no matter how strong he got, his mother would always worry about him. "Mom, nothing is going to happen to me. You don't have to worry so much."
She ignored what he said, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at him. "And speaking of being able to sleep a lot better, I'd also be able to do that if you and 18 would stop being so noisy when you engage each other."
At this, Trunks turned beet red, staring at his mother in horror. "Y-You mean you... heard us?"
"Yes, I heard you!" she said bitterly.
She still remembered it. After working late, she had gone to take a shower. But the bathroom she had gone to was already occupied by someone else using the shower. Actually, it was two people using the shower, and being very noisy about it. She had been traumatized as she ran for one of the other bathrooms, unable to stop the disturbing mental images that kept her up all night.
"I can understand a persons has needs, Trunks, but that's why you have a room. Use it!"
Trunks was so embarrassed, he wanted to disappear. "S-Sure. Whatever you say." He tried to think of a change in topic. "So, where do you think 18 went?"
Getting the hint, Bulma went along with the change of conversation. "Don't know. She didn't say anything to me. I thought you knew."
He shook his head. "No, but she did seem rather strange today. Maybe even a little worried." He looked out the window, thinking about the android. "I hope she's ok."

Elsewhere, in an entirely different dimension, the result of an evil alliance was finally finished. Icy blue eyes opened for the first time, and the owner breathed in the foul stench of Hell.
"Yes, we have done it!" Dr. Myuu declared. He glanced over his shoulder at his partner. "Our hard work has finally paid off, doctor. Our machine mutant lives!"
Dr. Gero grinned and went to stand by Dr. Myuu's side. "Yes, and if our theories are correct, soon we shall have our revenge." He turned to the third person present. "Come, 17, tell us what you think of your double."
The android stood up from where he was sitting and looked down at the machine mutant version of himself. "Impressive. I'm astounded that you were able to create an exact duplicate of me."
"No, not exact." Said Dr. Myuu. "Perhaps in power and appearance, and quite possibly even mind, but he is, in a way, your opposite. All of him is what you are not, and all of you are what he is not." He motioned for his creation to stand. "Now rise up Hell Fighter 17, your destiny awaits you."
The machine mutant slowly rose to his feet. He glanced curiously at the doctors before settling his cold gaze on his duplicate. "You are me, and I am you." he stated. "We are but one being in two bodies, born apart and at separate times."
The doctors examined their handy work. Had the android version of 17 not had a halo over his dead, it would have been absolutely impossible to tell the difference between the two.
"Now," said Dr. Gero, "the time has come to begin phase one of our brilliant plan."
"Yes." Dr. Myuu agreed. "Bring them out."
Turning away from his sort-of-clone, 17 dragged out the ogres Goz and Mez, who were tied together. They fell to the floor, both badly beaten.
Grinning, Dr. Gero stepped towards them. "Now then, if you'll be so kind as to contact King Yemma for us, we can get this show on the road."
The two ogres looked up at him fearfully. "No way." Said Goz, not sounding so convincing.
"We won't do it." Mez added.
Dr. Gero glared at them. "It would be in your best interest to do as we say. We haven't killed you yet, but we still can." He sneered. "And then what do you think will happen? You'll immediately come back, and then we can just kill you again and again and again. And we will do so for all eternity until you do as we say. There are so many ways a person can die. I wonder how many you'll experience before you agree to our demands. Of course, it doesn't have to come to that if you simply cooperate with us."
Both ogres shook their heads. "Can't do it." they said together.
Dr. Gero snarled angrily until Dr. Myuu rested a hand on his shoulder. "Calm yourself, doctor. Perhaps a more... logical approach will be better." He bent down so he was level with them. "My dear ogres, having been entrusted with your positions for so long, you must be aware of all the rules." They nodded. "Well, you understand the situation, yet you do nothing. This is a matter for King Yemma, and him alone. You wouldn't happen to be trying to take his job, are you?"
The two ogres looked horrified. "Oh no, never!"
Dr. Myuu stood up and turned his back to them. "That's good. Then if you will be so kind as to put us in touch with the person who is meant to make these decision, we will settle this matter quickly."
Goz glanced at Mez. "What do you think?"
Mez hung his head. "We don't have a choice. He's right, the decision isn't ours to make." He sighed. "All right, we'll do it. King Yemma! Calling King Yemma, this is Mez! Are you there?"
A moment later, the old booming voice of the judge of the dead echoed around them. "Of course I'm here, you fool! What do you want?"
The ogres flinched. "Um, Dr. Myuu and Dr. Gero want to speak to you. Um, you do know who they are, right?"
"Of course I know! I'm King Yemma! It's my business to know! But I'm very busy, and I can't be bothered right now!"
Dr. Gero addressed the ogre king. "But we have a serious situation here. Someone down here is alive."
"So? What of it? Lots of people are alive down there."
Dr. Myuu laughed. "We don't mean one of your ogres. We mean someone else. A living being who has yet to be judged."
"What? That's not possible. No one from the living world has been here recently."
"Ah, but it is true. Just look for the name Hell Fighter 17."
The ogre king grumbled. "You are really annoying, but seeing as this falls under my line of work, I will take a look. Lets see now. Hell Fighter 17, Hell Fighter 17, 17, 17, Hell Fighter 17... Ah ha! Well I'll be, he is still alive! And what's this, he was born today, less than a minute ago."
"Indeed." Said Dr. Gero. "Working together with Dr. Myuu, the two of us have given life to a whole new being. And since he is not dead, you cannot keep him here."
This infuriated the ogre king. "How dare you speak to me like that! I am King Yemma, show some respect!"
"Who you are does not matter?" Dr. Myuu stated. "The fact of the matter is that you cannot hold him here. Those are the rules, and even you cannot break them. He demands to be released, and so you must set him free."
They heard King Yemma growl. He seemed to be considering this carefully. "What you say... is true. Since he is not dead, I am indeed inclined to set him free."
Goz and Mez gasped. "But, King Yemma, you can't."
"I have no choice."
"But this is different from normal circumstances. Surely you can make an exception."
The ogre king growled again. "I can't make exceptions, even for a special case like this. However, since something like this has never before happened, I am going to see about having a new rule made for the future. But until then, I'm afraid Hell Fighter 17 is... free to go."
Hell Fighter 17 grinned at the others. "See you on the outside."
He suddenly vanished as he was brought to the Check In Station. Both doctors grinned as things began falling into place. "Phase one is now accomplished." Said Dr. Myuu. "Now it is time to move onto phase two."
"Yes." Dr. Gero hissed. "Now that Hell Fighter 17 has been freed from Hell, he can use Instant Transmission to get to Earth. And then," he chuckled, "we will begin phase three of our plan."

As 18 stepped outside, she thought about what she had discovered. Never had she expected this. But the evidence had been there, and she needed to investigate. She now knew for a fact that her suspicions had been correct.
She was pregnant. Pregnant with Trunks' child. She hadn't even known she could get pregnant! She had thought that ability had been lost when she became an android. Apparently she had been wrong, and the proof of that was growing in her womb.
Two months along. That's what the doctors had told her. She had been pregnant for two months. Thinking back on it, the most likely case had been that night with him in the rain. True, they had made love several times after that, but something was telling her that it was that night she had conceived.
She was scared to death. This had never even been a possibility for her before. Now, all of a sudden, it wasn't just a possibility, it was actually happening. She and Trunks were going to have a child. The thought was terrifying, but at the same time, she felt thrilled. Perhaps that was natural womanly instinct kicking in.
But what would Trunks think about this? It was safe to say he hadn't known that she could get pregnant either. Now he was suddenly going to be a father. Did he want to have a child? Did he want to have one with her? He still didn't even know that she had regained her memories. Even if he did want to have a child with her, finding out that she had regained her old memories might change that.
Dear god, what had they gotten them selves into?
Her hand traveled to her stomach, resting over it. It was hard to believe that there was another life inside her. But there was, and she would do anything to preserve that life, even give up her own.
Thinking back on it, she had killed children in the past. Done so without even batting an eye. At the thought, a wave of nausea hit her that had nothing to do with her pregnancy. How had she changed so much? If someone had told her that she would be where she was right now a year ago, she would have burst out laughing, then killed whoever made the joke.
"I'm the mother of the child of my brother's killer." She said humorlessly. "Who could have seen that coming?"
Thunder crackled overhead and she looked up. The clouds were behaving strangely. They were swirling together, making a type of vertex. 18 raise an eyebrow at this in confusion. A tornado, or a hurricane perhaps?
No that wasn't possible. The people who were in charge of the weather would have picked up on something like that. And besides, storms didn't feel the way this one felt. So incredibly inhuman, and so undeniably evil.
'What is that?' she wondered worriedly. 'It feels so dark. Whatever it is, I don't like it.'

Hell Fighter 17 looked up at the dark hole that had appeared in the sky and grinned. The doctors' plan was working. The connection between him and his other self was strong enough to reach across even the depths of Hell.
'And now, I will open up a doorway, and every foul creature that's ever lived will come flooding from that hole like a deadly plague.'
He felt his other self calling out to him, telling him that it was time. Grinning he tapped into the core of his connection with the other 17 and let it expand. A wave of evil energy flowed out of the portal. They had done it. They had opened the door to Hell.
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)
"Yes..." Dr. Myuu whispered in awe. "Yes, it is working. Look, the portal is opening."
"Then very soon, we shall be free." Said Dr. Gero. "And not a moment too soon. I've had more than enough of this place." He glanced over his shoulder at the herd of evildoers that had been sent here. "And I'm sure you all feel the same."
"Just open the door!" Frieza snapped. "I want to finish off the rest of the saiyan monkey race like I should have long ago."
"No," Baby snarled, "the saiyan is mine to kill, and mine alone!"
13 stepped forward. "Hey, now wait a minute there, partner. That there Trunks person be mine. I'm gonna be the one ter finish him off."
"I'm sure there will be enough for all of us." Said Rilldo. "Then we can rule this universe like we were meant to."
"Sounds fun." Said Bojack. "But I think I'd enjoy destroying the universe more than I would ruling it."
"That's not going to happen."
All heads turned in the direction of the speaker. Those that knew him weren't all that surprised to see Goku there.
"Oh my, son, look who decided to join us." Said King Cold. "It's the Super Saiyan that made fools out of us."
Frieza growled. "Lousy saiyan monkey! Why am I not surprised to see you here?"
Goku glared at him. "I've stopped you all before, and I'll stop you again."
The evil King Piccolo laughed. "Yeah, right. What are you going to do, kill us? That won't accomplish anything since were all ready dead."
"That works both ways." Goku told him. "Still, it does sound exciting."
Dr. Gero glared at him. "Damn you, Goku. Why must you always interfere? How did you even know what we were doing?"
Goku smirked. "It's all thanks to Baba. You know, a little fortune telling, a little peaking into another timeline. It wasn't that hard."
Raditz pointed at him. "You're out of your league this time, little brother. You may have been able to beat us all individually in the past, but with all of us working together, you don't stand a chance."
Goku's grin never left his face. "Yeah, I know that. I'm not that arrogant. That's why I brought some help." Two more fighters appeared by his side. "Guys, say hello to Pikkon and Olibu. They're a couple of friends of mine."
Pikkon smirked. "I've got my eye on that big one," he said, nodding at Luud.
"Fine with me." said Olibu. "But I got dips on General Rilldo."
Lord Slug glared up at them. "You won't be able to win with just the three of you."
Goku's grinned widened. "I never said it was just us three."
They came down from the sky, an entire army of Other Worldly fighters, all looking to get in on the action.
"Danger! Danger!" cried the four members of the Sigma Force.
"Shut up, you idiots!" Frieza snapped. "We won't be beaten by a bunch of do-gooders."
A hand was placed on his shoulder. Frieza turned to see Vegeta standing behind him.
The saiyan prince smirked. "Not all of us are that good." He said, before slamming his fist into Frieza's face.
As the fighting broke out, Dr. Gero turned to Dr. Myuu. "This wasn't part of the plan! We must get out as quickly as we can!"
Dr. Myuu nodded in agreement and turned to 17. "We're out of time! How's it going with the portal?"
"Just opened." 17 told him.
"Good. Let's go."
He quickly jumped through the portal, followed quickly by Dr. Gero. Without waiting for anyone else, 17 made to enter the portal.
"No you don't!" Goku cried. "Ka-me-ha-me-HA!"
17 just grinned as the attack came at him. He simply dropped through the portal, and it closed behind him. Goku's attack hit solid ground, and dozens of angry cries came from the villains left behind.
(A/N: I loved the part when Vegeta slugged Frieza. And thanks to Baba's fortune telling back with Baby, they were able to stop the mass escape from Hell. But 17 and the doctors still managed to escape. And since this is the last arch, I guess you can figure out who the villain is. I thought it be good that way for this story, both beginning and ending with the androids. It was just hard thinking of a way to get one of the 17's on Earth since in the original timeline, 17 was already on Earth, but I figured it out. Things are going to get real nasty real fast, so stay tuned for more.)
