Scampering across their exposed base's floor plans and walkways, Kaiser, armed with his trusted sidearm and his wits, was now taking on a new kind of enemy. The moment the Z-fighters took off and engaged one another in the most congested opening to a battle he'd ever seen, the genius found his position becoming swarmed by dozens upon dozens of androids. All of them resembling humans wearing tactical armored suits, each with glowing red eyes and possessing Cell-shaped heads with only a single horn on the right-hand side, the mechanical army bore down on the crater in a wave of silver, metallic death.
"Target the human! Target the human!"
"Engage!"
All of them outfitted with blasters and thrusters capable of sustained flight, the Human Class drones rained down on Kaiser from all sides. Opening fire on their target, they attempted to corral the man into a corner and kill him. However, showing surprising agility and dexterity, the man with the goatee avoided the initial hail of ki blasts and began taking them out one after the other with his supercharged sidearm.
Dodging a couple of red beams and watching several more of the metal men drop down from the sky and land around him, Kaiser cursed. "Damn these stupid robots. They just don't end!"
Like a champ, the man scaled the railing and picked the steel skeletons off one by one, preventing them from getting him or their base's machinery. After taking on a whole swath of them on the walkway and actually engaging one in hand-to-hand, ducking its swing and snapping its leg with a kick, he then leapt over the side and back onto ground floor. Barrel-rolling upon landing, Kaiser then sprinted over to one of his cupboards and kicked it open, where he then yanked out a submachine gun resembling an FN P-90. Cocking the slider, the scientist then spun about and mowed down an entire group of drones charging at him from the other side of the room, taking them out in a hail of blue blasts.
Dodging a series of red beams that were lobbed at him in retaliation, the man then dove for cover and continued his campaign. Rushing over to the workshop area, he picked off several more droids coming in from above, until one rushed up behind him and attempted to run him through with its arm. Sensing it, the man dodged it, spun around, and slammed the butt of his gun across its face with a 'clang'. He then drew his pistol and shot the stunned machine twice in the stomach, before turning and using both guns on the swaths of robots converging on his position.
Things were going well on his end so far and it looked like he was going to get through this battle without a scratch. But then, after wiping out about eighty of the damn things, a squad on the ridgeline suddenly started getting clever, and fired at him from above. The rain of shots drew Kaiser's attention and he fired upon them with his P-90, unloading his weapon and wiping out an entire group of them, including several that were dropping in from the sky. However, one of the drones got lucky and, managing to creep out from around the corner, fired a blast into the man's chest while he was focusing on the ones attacking his flanks. The attack slammed into the human and knocked him straight into the wall, knocking the fire arms from his hands before his body crumpled to the ground.
The man ended up sprawled out on the floor, body smoking and his suit covered in dirt. Thinking he was down for good, the Sentinel drones drew in closer, their weapons still locked and sensors fixed upon their human target. Due to the way the man had been hit and the location of the wound, they were positive he was a goner. Even his life-signs had flat lined.
But then, just as a few of the robots had gathered around his body and were about to scrub him, Kaiser's eyes suddenly flew open and, with a quick, acrobatic spin, he kicked the feet out from under them. Grabbing one by the arm, he got it into a headlock and, grabbing the blaster on its arm, aimed it at its compatriots and forcefully fired at them. The blasts from the automaton wiped out a good portion of the enemy forces, allowing the human to snap the head off of the poor bugger he was holding and collect his sidearm. Once he had it, he ducked a jab from behind and tackled that robot to the ground.
Fingers around its neck, he then pointed the pistol at its forehead.
The drone's eyes flashed in alarm. "Illogical. Illogical-"
Kaiser smirked, "You're damn right, asshole." With his response made, he then shot the drone through the skull and, collecting his energy-based machinegun, continued his rampage against the invading automaton army.

Explosions racking the city from corner to corner, the chaos soon spilled out into the central park area, where a distant figure was sent crashing through several office buildings before punching a crater right in the heart of the dried up lakebed. Dust clouding the crash site, the meat projectile was soon followed by the golden glowing form of Trunks, who appeared hovering over the reserve covered in a few bruises and cuts, and sporting a now torn up coat. Eyebrow-less gaze fixed upon the ground beneath him, the Super Saiyan 3 then watched the screen fade to reveal his opponent standing slumped over in the fissure, with his right arm completely missing and his form covered in a wide assortment of bruises.
When he saw his old friend Goten turn his hateful glare towards him, with blood trickling out of his many open wounds and the cybernetic enhancements protruding from his flesh, Trunks smirked and shook his head at his old training partner and long-time, best friend. "You were never the kind of person to throw in the towel. No matter how much you got beaten down, you always found the strength to get back up." Turquoise eyes with dark pupils shimmering with unaccountable amounts of sadness, the Brief scientist's son brought his katana up, spun it, and pointed the tip of the blade in his foe's direction. "But in the years you've been gone… I've had plenty of time to train and surpass you. With this strength that I've achieved, I'll finally be able to beat you and end your suffering."
Growling, the android Goten launched himself from the crater and blasted towards his incredibly powerful foe with a swing of his one good arm. Jabbing out with his palm, the red-eyed Super Saiyan 2 fired a ki blast at Trunks in an attempt to take his head off, but the long-haired warrior dodged it and kicked him across the face. His blow crashed into his companion's cheek and knocked him spinning across the sky. For a moment, it seemed like the attack had done the trick.
But after flying for several hundred meters, trailing blood and engine fluid, the cybernetic Saiyan halted his body in midair and spun about. The second he did, he threw up his hand and fired a powerful, one-handed Kamehameha towards the Super Saiyan 3, intent on wiping him out or, at the very least, inflicting some small amount of damage to the obviously stronger fighter.
It happened in an instant. Trunks's form vanished and the blast streaked past his position, striking a distant mountain range and wiping it out in an enormous, dome-shaped explosion. The instant the blast went up, the demi-Saiyan reappeared in front of his opponent, who recoiled in shock and attempted to counter him with a blast to the face. But the android Super Saiyan was unable to follow-through on his retaliation, as the long-haired warrior used his katana to not only slice off his remaining arm, literally disarming him, but also sliced straight down at him, cutting him clean in two.
The look of shock that appeared on Goten's face remained as his body slowly split in midair in a manner very similar to Frieza's final moments. Then, just as he was in the process of separating, the ever efficient and agile warrior spun his sword around, kicked his friend in the stomach and, after sending his two halves flying, thrust his hand out at him and unleashed a powerful, gargantuan ki wave at his stunned, bifurcated body.
The golden attack engulfed Goten's form completely and disintegrated him, before the blast streaked up into the sky and left the planet in the form of an ethereal beam of light. It faded moments later, revealing a much more damaged city and Trunks floating in the very place his attack had been launched.
Frowning deeply, the man lowered his hand, gripped his sword firmly and then sheathed it back into his scabbard full samurai style. The instant the blade clicked, the Super Saiyan 3, with beads of sweat running down his face, breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Goten."
Hopefully now his friend could finally find a small semblance of peace.
Unfortunately for the lavender haired Saiyan, his battle wasn't over yet.
Several moments after the man uttered his heartfelt apology, a loud screeching sound had him spin around and shoot his gaze upwards. Eyes widening, the man threw up his arms a split second before he was suddenly smacked out of the sky by a massive fist and sent plummeting to the ground. After slamming into the earth and forming a huge crater in the city streets, the half-Saiyan quickly sat up and, spitting out the blood from his mouth and narrowing his eyes into a hard glare, looked in the direction the lightning fast blow had come from.
He was then immediately forced to dodge when another enormous attack came plummeting towards him from above. Jumping to the side and avoiding the colossal length of steel, Trunks made it just in time to watch it split the earth with a deafening thunderclap, the shockwave it caused prompting him to ascend to the top of a nearby skyscraper. Landing on the very tip of the spire, the demi-Saiyan then looked across the way to see not one, but twenty giant, humanoid robots stomping through the downtown metropolis and heading straight towards him, their wide red optical sensors glowing fiercely. Resembling enormous silver mechs designed in the appearance of Samus Aran's armor, with each one easily towering over the buildings of the once great city, the automatons also had two large, flat cables protruding from their backs. Acting like tails and extensions of their bodies, these lengths of earth-cutting metal whipped through the air like tendrils in a threatening manner.
The moment the Super Saiyan 3 spotted the hulking machines lumbering towards him, he then watched as the giants were soon joined by an army of smaller, human-sized robots. Appearing as beefed up, advanced models of the ones that were currently attacking Kaiser, adorned in armor similar to knights and armed with battle lances, these soldiers suspended themselves in the sky around the giant mechs and confronted the young warrior. They came together like a swarm of bees and blocked out the horizon in a wall of blinking red lights.
As soon as the young man saw the army of a thousand plus mechanized soldiers emerge from the smog and the skeleton of West City in front of him, the sword user gritted his teeth and gripped the handle of his katana, ready for another fight.
As soon as he set himself into a stance with his fingers wrapped around his primary weapon, Trunks powered up and stared down the enormous android army with a snarl. "Alright then! Bring it on, you metal freaks!" Drawing his weapon with a crack of lightning, the man launched himself from the tower and, while rocketing towards the army, opened up with a gargantuan blast of golden energy.
The attack shot towards one of the giant metal warriors, who smacked it away with the back of its arm. But the instant the titan knocked the attack into the sky, Trunks was instantly upon it, lunging in with his sword.
"YAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!"
