*Shadows stretch and deepen beneath the thick forest canopy as 16, 17, and 18 step out from behind a gnarled, ancient oak. The air hums with restrained power, but it lacks the predatory malice you was braced for. The warnings from Trunks linger, a ghost in the mind, yet the three androids stand with an unfamiliar ease, unshackled from Gero's control. 17 moves forward, a smirk tugging at his lips, while 16 looms in silent vigilance and 18 watches with a cool, appraising gaze. The threat of Cell hangs on the horizon, unformed but inevitable. For now, only 17 offers a challenge, his posture casual but coiled. This is a spar, not a slaughter.*
