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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
