Ever since their encounter in her lab, Nakiya found herself growing more and more curious about the mechanical creature they had met... an Android, a being that was part machine, part organic. She had spent many hours since then debating how to make such a creature function properly... She was skilled in both Biological and mechanical engineering, but how could combining the two help her in creating a perfect being? She didn't see it, nor did she consider that mechanical creature perfect by any means.
She needed more information. With the conclusion, Nakiya set out, stepping outside the boundaries of her lab and summoning her lion beast to her side. She was sure that her presence, along with that of her creations, would surprise the saiyan populace and maybe even scare them. however, that would be a learning experience in itself. She had spent many years here on Vegeta and even planned to one day rule over it... and yet she had very little interaction with any of the natives.
As her beast arrived, Nakiya climbed onto it's back and gripped it's mane tightly as the beast suddenly took off through the old ruins of the Tuffle Capital. As it ran, Nakiya would send out encoded signals from her datapad in an attempt to reach the android to arrange a meeting. She had so many more questions... and perhaps if she was lucky he would let her study him.
Android 21 was having a good time. He was sitting on top of a ruined building, swinging his legs and speaking to himself, playing a little quiz game. – Okay, 21, you are killing me! Hahaha!!! My turn… How do you kill a Kold demon? Do you know that one?! Hahaha! I bet you don’t! – he asked no one, and the laughed out loud, slapping his hand on his forehead and, then, ran it thought his pitch black straight hair, that was tight in a high pony tail, save for two long locks of hair. – That’s too easy! Hahah! You just have to vaporize the shit out of them! Those fuckers can withstand some damage! They are like, the second most durable thing on the universe! And know what’s the most durable one?! Hahaha! Of course I do! It’s me! A topnotch Red Ribbon Cyborg! Or Android! Let’s not discuss semantics, alright?! – he said in a highly spirited tone, nodding to himself plenty of times. – Now, for the prize… A Power Blitz! – he shouted, cracking an evil grin on his face, as he stretched his hand toward a ruined building.
Android 21 drew his hand back and quickly charged a swirling blue energy sphere. Then, he brought his hand forward and fired the sphere in the form of an energy wave, completely destroying the building. He laughed out loud and clapped his hands. – That’s some dirty fireworks!! Hahaha! – he said to himself. Then, after he had just blew the building, he saw a weird creature running around the ruins, and when he narrowed his eyes, focusing his mechanical eyes to get some zoom, he noticed that girl he had met the other day, with the Bio-Android thing. – Oh! Friends! Hahaha! I’ve gotta great them, right?! Yes I do! Yes I do! – he said, nodding to himself, a couple times, before he jumped from the building and quickly flew towards the girl, landing right in front of her with such force, that he cracked the ground. Then, he giggled a little bit, putting both his hands on his waist and staring at the demon girl with his piercing light-blue eyes.
– Oh, hello there! – he said, with a mischievous grin on the corner of his mouth. It was impossible to read him and know what he was up to. Android 21 was a weird creature, to say the least.
The ruins outside of her lab had very little to offer but dry air and radiation. It was absolutely dreadful and frankly, that was why she loved it so much out here. Not that she took much time taking in her surroundings... her face was almost always staring into her datapad or an ancient tome. At that moment, Nakiya was doing just that, looking deeply into her work, sending out that scrambled signal in an attempt to summon the mechanical creature.
The beast she was riding on came to a sudden skidding stop, stopping only inches before it rammed into the creature in question as it appeared before them. The crater that 21 caused buckled Nakiya's creations knees as it moved with the Earth, just catching itself in time to prevent it's master from falling off.
"What the hell are you doing.." She snapped at the beast before finally looking up from her datapad with an annoyed look on her face. She hadn't ordered the beast to stop, and yet it did so anyways! Maybe there was something wrong with the genetic programming of this specimen to cause it to ignore her orders... She leaped off of the creatures back, and only then did she finally spot the mechanical creature that had infiltrated her lab.
"Ah, it's you. Most excellent, I was just looking for you. What do you say the two of us take a walk and talk, hm?" She asked, bringing her free hand to her nose as the radiation was slowly starting to get to her as she was wearing nothing to protect against it. Of course, she had taken other measures to prevent the radiation from affecting her for a short while, but if they lingered here then no doubt she would began to feel it's effects.
The android giggled a little more with the way the weird creature she was mounted on reacted. – Weird creature, wonder if I should blow it away! Stop, 21, she is listening! Be polite! You don’t go blowing people’s things! – he complained to himself, slapping his forehead and the running the same hand through his head, with a bitter expression that quickly went back to his mischievous-looking smirk with the corner of his mouth. – A nasty little girl, aren’t you not?! So impolite! Ask me on a date and don’t even give me your name?! What would your parents and bio-bla brother would think?! – he closed his eyes, raising his right index finger and moving it from one side to the other in a “no” sort of sign, then, he took a back step and opened his eyes again, putting his hands back on his waist and chuckling.
– Let’s do it the right way, shall we not?! My name is… Android 21! Android for the name, and 21 for the last name! Since we are not close, I wouldn’t kindly ask you not to call me android! That’s too intimate! Let’s stick to 21, right?! Yeah, that sounds like proper! Hihihi! – he said, nodding about a few times in a frenetic motion and then, he stretched his palm forward, pointing it towards the girl in front of him, in a motion like if he was telling her that it was her turn, but due to his almost complete inability to remain silent, he spoke again. – And you, little girl, is…? That’s when you introduce yourself! You don’t have to go for many details, mind you! My scanners already got most of it, like your height, weight and boobs size! – he said in a sort of friendly and casual tone, like if he just didn’t have a care in the world.
Nakiya hadn't stopped to listen to what android 21 had to say, she was already walking in the same direction her beast had been heading as if just expecting the android to follow. Of course, back in the underworld when she spoke to someone it was basically an order and so she never thought that this boy wouldn't do the same. She listened to him go on about her being nasty and impolite, causing the woman to simply make a light grunt under her breath as she finally looked up from her datapad. It seemed this small android had a mouth too large for his body.
"We're demons, being polite is hardly the first thing on our list. However, if you must know my name is Princess Nakiya Devla. However seeing as I have not been home in many years, you can call me Dr Devla, Nakiya is far too formal and I do not believe we are on a first name basis." The girl mimicked him, the same almost bored expression on her face. She never liked dealing with children... especially not those with smart mouths... and as if to prove that fact, he went on to indicate he didn't need an excess of information as his scanners had picked up everything including the size of her chest.
'Hm, clever' She thought in mild annoyance. Not only was he making such a comment, he had called her a little girl... she was no doubt far older than this mechanical creature as she was well over 50 years old. Ah, but the details didn't matter. She was not here to argue with the machine child... however, she wouldn't let a comment about her chest size go without some sort of retort. She turned her datapad around so that 21 could see it's screen. There was a screenshot of the android from back in the lab in the top left corner, a display in the middle with different tags as to what his possible makeup was.
"You passed through several of my scanners when you stepped into my lab. So please, do not think you have the upper hand on me."
Android 21 was an odd creature indeed. When she said that they were demons, he pounded his right clenched fist onto his left palm, making an excited expression, same as a child when they make a neat discovery. – Told you! Demons!! That was the sinister energy I’ve been scanning! Hahaha! See, 21, I’m always right! Although I’m quite sure the Bio-thing has some other stuff into himself… Wonder what it is… - he quickly changed from water to wine, as his excited expression became thoughtful as he touched his lips with his right index finger. – Hmmm… Curious… Curious indeed… - he nodded to himself twice and then folded his arms, listening to what she had to say. The demoness claimed to be a doctor and finally introduced herself properly, which let 21 to chuckle, close his eyes and clap twice.
– Hihihi! That’s it, girl! Politeness! You earn a star! I will make sure to put that on your profile on my scanner! – he said, ignoring the fact that Nakiya had told him to call her Doctor Devla, and, just to make sure, he made it crystal clear. – Alright, girly girl! – he said, putting both his hands once again on his hips and narrowing his eyes as she showed him the datapad with some screenshots of him and notes about the material that she believed it was used on building him. Surprisingly enough, she got some of them right! And that impressed the little android. – Hohoho! Clever little girl! Got some of my components right! That’s quite a feat, considering I was built by a topnotch scientist that is now long dead! Go figures… He lost his head with his work some would say! Hahahaha! – he laughed out loud with his comment, and then paused scratched the back of his head and became serious again, sighing. – And yeah, of course she wouldn’t understand it, dummy! She wasn’t there! But I assure you it was a funny joke… Funniest part is that it’s true! He did lose his head! Hahaha! But yeah, doesn’t really matter, does it?! A shame, really! – he shrugged, giggling a little bit more.
– But, anyways… You were saying that you fell for my amazing swagger and spent restless nights in search for my gorgeous self, right? Here I’m, girly girl! 21, at your disposal… Or something like that! Hihihihi! – he said, with a naughty laugher
again. He had a terrible time keeping his mouth shut for long. [/blockquote]
"My brothers specific genome is very complex, and even as an android yourself it would take you years to understand it's base structure. You are free to try and guess what is in his genetic makeup if you wish android." She stated as a light cough escaped her lips. She attempted to cover it up by returning the datapad to her and turning to continue walking out of the radiation zone. Her beast eyed 21 dangerously but, with no orders to attack, stepped around him to follow it's master quietly, always 10 paces behind her.
"How long is long dead exactly? You seem to have a base biological component to your frame, therefore that leads me to believe you cannot have been active for more than.... 20-30 years without some sort of organic support system." She would comment, seemingly to no one in particular as she had resumed her walk. If 21 followed her, then he would hear her, but this time she wouldn't stop walking until she was in a safe area away from the radiation.
"Oh yes, I have not slept a night since I met you, I am curious to know absolutely everything about your 'gorgeous self'. Won't you indulge this young girl?" She added to her conversation. In her mind however, she invisionned 21 strapped to her observation table, her toold layed out at her left as she cut him open one piece at a time to learn more about his makeup, and how she might create a being such as he. She was very fond of the idea of being able to program loyalty, instead of training it.

He seemed to completely ignore the weird beast that followed them. In fact, by the looks of him, he didn’t seem to have a single care in the world, acting almost goofy and happy-go-luck. When she challenged him to guess what she used to make that bio-android, he smirked with the corner of his mouth, feeling the excitement of challenge. – Quizzes are my favorite game! I play it a lot!! Hahaha! – he said, despite the fact that ever since she had met him, he had been completely alone. – I would guess… Demon, now that I know what you peps are, girly girl… As well as… - he touched his lips with his index finger for a few seconds, until he snapped his fingers with an excited expression on his face. - Namekian! It has to be some namekian in him! And… - but the final component was rather trick and he couldn’t quite understand what it was. It was too subtle, and therefore, he couldn’t guess it. – And I’m done with the quiz! I don’t wanna guess anymore! – he said, grimacing for a feel seconds, seeming to be bothered by the fact that he couldn’t guess the final component. However, when Nakiya asked about his past, he quickly shifted back to his goofy smile and giggling mood.
– To be precise. 818 years, 16 days, 8 hours and 42 minutes! – he said in a casual tone, putting both his hands on the back of his head as he kept on walking near the girl. He wasn’t affect by the radiation at all, showing that more than half of his body was mechanical rather than biological. 21, however, didn’t mention anything about how long he had been active, then, when she went along with his little story about her being crazy for him, he sighed and scratched the back of his head. – Then, I’m sorry! You are far too easy of a girly girl to me… Already losing sleep, although you only saw me once! One-night stand material, not commitment material! I must decline your declaration of obsession… But maybe we can still be friends, right? – he said, winking at her and chuckling afterwards.
"Well, having seen him first hand, I would hope the Namekian genes were obvious. He is fairly green after-all. Now come on, are you sure you don't want to keep on guessing? I'll tell you just as soon as your right." She taunted the small android, the hint of a smile appearing on her lips. This smile quickly faded however as he admitted how old he actually was. It was horrifying to think that this mechanical creature was almost as old as her father was before his passing.
'That's incredible... I really need to study him further... Demons and Kai's should be some of the only races to be able to live that long... how can one make a semi-organic being sustain themselves for so long... what is his base genetic makeup... and what mechanical systems keep him running... I must have this information for myself... Perhaps I can design a program to infiltrate his systems... learn from him without his knowing... hmm... that would be difficult when not knowing the extent of his original programming.' Nakiya's mind began to go wild, one thought after another piling up in her mind. The possibilities of this project seemed endless! By studying 21, she would be able to create her own cybernetic army... one that may prove even more superior to her biological creations!
Her muse was quickly shot however as the android once more began to speak of it as a date, and stated how he wouldn't be easy. This caused the woman to roll her eyes as she looked over towards the android, noting his wink and his chuckle.
"Well, I suppose being friends could work just as well. So, tell me 21. where do you come from exactly? I'm curious to know who created an 800 year old android such as yourself. " She hoped that the premise of being friends would help get some information out of the little android. Where did he come from, who created him, how did they create him? She hoped she could invite him back to the lab after this meeting...
The teenage-looking android just ignored her request for him to keep on guessing the third component of her brother’s genetic code. 21 was just like that, he could easily ignore anything he felt like. He seemed to be entertained once again when she changed the subject and responded to his little teasing. She was interested in knowing more about him, and goddammit, he wanted to talk about it! He loved himself too much to waste such opportunity and therefore, he chuckled a lot, widening his smile, showing all of his perfect white-teeth. – Of course you are! I’m quite a rare sight! A sign of perfection almost singular on the universe. But since perfection is something amazing and followed by a desire to replicate, I should say that I’m not exactly unique, but I was the first! I could be like, Adam! Yes! Adam for the cyborgs! Hahaha… A shame the project was later forcibly shut down when my organization… Well… Got rekt by some annoying wanna-be heroes from Earth! And, this, girly girl, answer your question! I come from Earth! As you should’ve already noticed! I’m human by design! – he said, winking once again, before he giggled.
– Maybe I overestimated your cleverness… But yeah, life is full of disappointments when we deal with biological limited beings such as you, another reason for me to think that we would never work out. A friend is better… Also, I don’t like the size of your butt very much! - he said, turning into a more serious expression. – But, before I speak any further, 21 just pointed out a very important thing: are you familiar with Earth’s history? Otherwise I may have to explain it quite a lot and maybe your bio-brain will need a while and some food to follow my amazing award-winning storytelling skills! Sometimes I think I should write movies! Maybe I will do that once I conquer Earth! Yes! That’s an amazing idea! Movies can be awesome… But maybe I will lean more towards plays… Theater was a special sort of appeal that the screen fails to capture… Unless I invest on virtual reality! That could be the next big leap forward!! Indeed! I’m such a genius! Hahaha! Congratulations 21, you rock this universe! Hahaha, thank you for the compliment! – he seemed to be genuinely having fun with his weird monologue.
'So there are more than just him out there... probably on Eath. If I can't get what I want from him, then it looks like there might be a trip to this planet Erth in the future... but one thing at a time. We're taking over planet Vegeta first, it's the perfect guinea pig...'
"There are many species in the universe that resemble human's. If my scans hadn't already indicated that was in your structure, I could have assumed you were many things. However I have noticed how resilient the Earthlings are... They would make for a good genetic base." She pondered as she brought her hand to her chin in thought. She had used some human DNA in Trase's makeup but hadn't thought too much on the matter... The genes allowed Trase to be able to withstand and manipulate larger amounts of ki, she didn't think that those very same genes could be used as a base to create an android.
"Fascinating..." She murmured as she listened to 21's initial explanation. However, she began to lose him after he mentioned EArth's history. He was speaking far too much and far too fast for her to keep up. She would catch bits and pieces of his ramble until he thanked himself for a compliment. She couldn't help but sigh as her hand rubbed her temple in mild annoyance with the android. She had to be patient... just until she got what she wanted from him, which might take a while.
"You haven't seen my true form yet, 21. Trust me when I say the... assets get better. However, I must agree on simply remaining friends. It wouldn't do for a princess to be anything more then that, no matter how perfect you are" She stated as she continued to play to his ego. Clearly, he wasn't all there in the head so hopefully the more his ego was brushed, the more information she could get from him.
"I know some of Earth's history, however I now feel that there is much more to it if you wish to enlighten me." She agreed, though she had not truly heard his offer of food. She wouldn't even have known where to begin looking for somewhere to eat here.
A glimpse of understanding crossed Android 21’s eyes when she spoke the start of her first sentence and he immediately interrupted her before she could continue her sentence. – Human! He is part human, of course! I knew it all along! Hahaha! Yeah, so obvious! But of course your basic engineering wouldn’t be able to fool my advanced brain! Hahaha! Still, I will give you that! You get close to being good! Still nothing compared to the good old doctor! Hahaha… I mean… Old doctor! He wasn’t good… Why did I call him good, anyway?! He was sort of a bastard, truth be told… Why do we speak well of the deceased?! That’s some odd trail… I must correct my empathic configurations! What a bothersome! – he shrugged and then slowly shook his head while closing his eyes, like he was dealing with some nuisance. And with those words, he had, once again ignore most of what Nakiya had said. He was like that, unable to read and sometimes completely random.
But, when she told him that he could enlighten her on Earth’s history, he cracked a mischievous grin and nodded about five times in a quick succession. – Of course, my girly child girl! = he said giggling a little bit. Then, the teenage-looking Android folded his arms. – Once upon a time, there was a very mean organization, called the Red Ribbon Army! They were mean, but they understood a basic concept! They needed to rule Earth in order to strip humans from their freedom and create a far better environment for everyone! To accomplish that, they needed a very important thing: The Commander had to be taller, because, well, he was sort of a midget, and who would want to be ruled by a midget, am I right?! Yeah… Midgets… Meandgets!! HAHAHAHA! FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!! MEANDGETS!!!! – he started laughing so hard with his own stupid joke, that he held his belly and doubled his body, almost crying, before he slowly stopped, recomposing himself and clearing his throat, assuming a serious expression shortly after that. – As I was saying before my amazing humor distracted me… He started looking for… Dragon Balls! Wish granting orbs that exists only on Earth! They are capable of real miracles, like conceding someone uncanny power, immortality, or getting taller and imposing! Obviously the last one was of ultimate importance to the RRA! RRA stands for Red Ribbon Army, okay? I’m just explaining this because sometimes you sound really stupid. Do you have any mental issue? My scanners couldn’t detect any of it, but it could be some new decease or just low IQ. Anyway… Alongside that, they started investing on the artificial human project. – and he cracked another mischievous grin, like he knew pretty well that he was stopping on the most important part, almost like he was deliberately teasing her.
"As a demon I"m sure my mind works far differently than you would expect... but this is very interesting... This doctor of yours was a member of the red ribbon army... and these dragon balls... they grant wishes... any wish?" She stated as her mind began going crazy with the possibilities that such wish granting orbs could provide her. She could finally have her army, or perhaps even the power to rival such an army on her own... she could rule over the galaxy unhindered with that power.
It seems her plans would have to be sped up here on planet Vegeta in favor of making her way to Earth... even if she couldn't wish for anything as big as what she envisioned, she couldn't give up that opportunity. She barely even heard Android 21 speak about the artificial human project. The Android would clearly be able to tell that the woman was deep in thought, processing everything that he was telling her in great deal. Her hands were even sub consciously flying across the screen of her datapad.
"The artificial human project... and you are a part of that project? Judging by the 21 of course..." She stated without even looking at him. She was so focused on things to come she stayed silent for another whole minute before stopping in her tracks and turning to face the android.
"It seems Earth has a very interesting history indeed. I may need to change some of my plans... or at least speed them along. I will need to make a trip to this planet in due time... Now... I presume that this Dr of yours also sought out the dragonballs? Surely they would help him create a perfect artificial human, devoid of any flaws... a truly perfect being. Obviously he was pretty close to his goal but... hmmm... what if I reinstated this artificial human project? What if... I could take over his work? Surely with your guidance I could make you even more powerful so that no one could question your perfection." What she was saying was slightly broken up as her mind was still sorting through everything, but what she knew now is that she did truly need this android... she wanted to learn from him yes, but he would prove useful in finishing her dream...
Android 21 sighed with her questions. Wasn’t she listening to him? Wasn’t she able to read in between the lines? He slapped his forehead and shook his head. Then, he put both his hands on his waist and stared at her with a bored expression. – Stupid or deaf! It has to be one of them! But, yes, he was a member of the freaking RRA! And yes, they grant any wish! That’s why everybody loves them! Imagine! The commander could get really tall! That would definitely make him imposing and cool, but, long dead, no one gives a fuck anymore! I don’t give a fuck! They didn’t manage to imprint that into my partially cybernetic brain! Hahaha! – he laughed, passing his hand through his black hair. Then, with her next question he sighed almost depressed. – Oh, fate! Why so stupid? Dang! Yeah, girly girl, I was part of the project! I’m their masterpiece! My sis might be Android 22, but she is just like me! I made it possible to replicate the technology on her, but I don’t have the slightest idea on where she is! Go figures. Maybe I will wish for the dragon to locate her, once I restore the RRA. – he paused, touching his chin in a thoughtful expression. – Or I could just build a radar to locate her! I have all her circuits in me anyway! – he shrugged, feeling rather satisfied with his new plan to locate his syster.
But then, she finally said something interesting that made Android 21 serious for once in his life! He stared at the demon girl with intrigued and curious eyes. – Oh? You think you could replicate the Doc’s work? You think you could enhance my systems? Well, well… Now you are talking business, girly girl! I’m most interested on this new plans of yours, but let me tell you something! – he said, cracking an evil grin and narrowing his eyes. – I’m no one’s vassal! But we might be allies of some sort, for mutual benefits, as long as you don’t stand in my way to recreate the Red Ribbon Army. In truth, I think recreating it would fit into those little plans of yours just well! – he said, giggling a bit when he finished.
Nakiya's eyes literally narrowed at the androids barrage of insults as she spoke. For a moment, her ki sparked around her to further show her annoyance with the Android. She hadn't truly been asking him questions, instead she was speaking her thoughts out loud, placing the pieces to this puzzle in her mind. She wasn't used to having people around to actually speak and disrupt her thought process.
In that moment, she felt her blood lust rise... she'd wanted nothing more than to tear him apart one mechanical piece at a time, and imaged of her doing so began to filter their way into her mind, tempting her to do it.
<'Master.'>
Words un-spoken broke through her mind, interrupting her hate filled thoughts and returning her gaze to normal. She silently gazed over to the beast that had silently been following them the entire time that they had been walking towards the capital. She was silently thankful for the interruption, not wanting to end what could be a fantastic opportunity for her because of some stupid comments. <'Right, head back to the laboratory. I can take it from here'> The words never left her lips, instead they were spoken directly to the creatures mind. The beast nodded to it's master before stopping and turning around, bounding away, back towards the ruins of the ancient city.
With her concentration returned, she cleared her throat as she returned her attention to the android as he finally spoke seriously. It seemed he was interested in her offer, and she was glad to see he thought she could be of use. Of course, he went on to say that he was no one's vassal, and while she would agree with him, she would see him as nothing more than a pawn in her own grand schemes.
"I don't think I can. I know that I can, I've already achieved feats far beyond what some human mind would be capable of dreaming of. Now, I wouldn't dream of making you my vassal, I've had far too many of those and they are far too disposable. As you have said, we'll remain as... friends. Friends with the same goals. You help me unlock this Dr's secrets, and in turn I will help you with this red ribbon army of yours." She offered as she turned back towards the looming Capital of Vegeta. Even after the invasion from those alliance Saiyans, it still stood like a proud marker over the planet.
She knew she wouldn't fit very well with the saiyans inside, looking as she did, and so she closed her eyes and her body quickly began to change form. Her hair changed from a flat red color to a spiked out black mane. Her eyes turned black and her skin instantly tanned. Even her clothing changed from her dress shirt and skirt to a blue under armor and a female saiyan chest plate.
"Now, I believe there was mention of food?"
