Although he hadn?t noticed it, Seventeen was now aware of the fact that something had triggered a dense fog to befall the island. With his vision now limited to only a few feet, the android extended his mangled right hand out in front of his body. This way he?d at least know ahead of time if he was going to run into a tree or something.
?You should be more worried about the other contestants,? the voice trigged the raven-haired youth to twist around rapidly to face the newcomer. Narrowing his eyes in an effort to see the figure more sharply, the android soon realized that he was once again granted with the presence of the overtly creepy Raditzu. The saiya-jin was hanging upside down by his monkey-like tail from a low hanging branch of a nearby tree. In his right hand, the long-haired superstar held an oversized banana.
?Why are you following me?? Seventeen demanded, pulling the hilt of the ki sword out from the confines of his survival bag. With a flick of an unseen switch, the weapon hummed to life and a three-foot shaft of azure energy erupted from the metallic grip.
?I?m not,? Raditzu replied, pausing to take a copious bite from his banana. After swallowing his food, the monkey-hybrid flashed his former partner yet another disturbing smile. ?You?re following yourself,? the saiya-jin replied, motioning with his unoccupied hand at something behind the android?s back.
?He does have a point,? an overly familiar voice said from the cyborg. Spinning around once more, Seventeen let out a gasp and almost dropped his weapon at the shock-inducing sight. ?What?? The android replied, placing his hands on his hips as he walked up to himself. ?When are you going to accept that fact that you lost your rocker a long, long time ago? At least if you did that, things like this fucked up little rendezvous wouldn?t be so bizarre.?
?The man has a point,? Raditzu replied before falling silent once again and dedicating some more time to munch on his unnaturally large fruit.
?Shut up,? the real Seventeen interjected, turning away from the lunacy of the scene and charging into the fog. After a few yards, the android collided with someone and was thrown to the ground. ?Why the hell are you just standing around?? The cyborg shouted?glaring at the incoherent silhouette as he groaned and pulled his battered body off the ground.
?Why don?t you tell me?? The man said, turning around and taking a step toward the infuriated android. When the stranger stepped out of the fog and into the machine-hybrid?s plane of sight, Seventeen?s eye twitched ever so slightly upon processing the identity of the man. Stepping backwards away from yet another facsimile of himself, the android shook the madness from his head and ran to the left.
Due to the rather blind, panicked nature of the cybernetic warrior?s departure, he opted to not bother with keeping an eye on his path. Once he had made it about a dozen yards or so, Seventeen tripped over an elevated root and went crashing into a puddle of mud. With a wet, sucking noise, the android liberated his body from the pool of liquid earth and instinctively retrieved the ki sword from the muck.
?You?re getting sloppy, Android Seventeen,? one of the facsimiles whispered, crouching down in front of the seated android. ?Get it? Sloppy?! Ahahaha!? The clone added, spiraling off into an insane chorus of laughter as the real Seventeen began to growl.
?He?s getting mighty riled now!? Another replication of the cyborg uttered in a poor Australian accent before stepping out of the fog and into the scene.
?Shut the fuck up!? Seventeen shouted as the ki sword hummed to life. With a rapid succession of swings, the android succeeded in flawlessly decapitating both of his doppelgangers.
?That?s right, Seventeen,? one of the decapitated heads hissed playfully. ?Release your anger! Your journey towards the Dark Side will soon be complete!"
?I hate you both,? the machine-hybrid seethed as he pushed off his haunches and tried to wipe some of the mud from his body.
?You hate yourself?? The other head replied, a frown spreading across his muddied countenance. ?Don?t be such an emo kid for crying out loud. You just?? before the head could finish, it was blown apart by a blast of ki.
?Jackass,? Seventeen muttered before leaping over the remains of the two doppelgangers and vanishing into the fog.
