(Goten & Trunks)
A very frustrated and bruised son of Vegeta gave a loud yell of effort as he unleashed yet another golden blast at his attackers, who simply dodged his technique and barreled towards him. Airborne several meters above a small village outside of Central City, the CAT droids assigned to do battle with the young Trunks flanked the child from both sides and began battering him with a vicious onslaught of punches. The boy managed to throw up his arms just in time to intercept the storm of blows, which immediately began hitting him like dozens upon dozens of very hard tennis balls.
Gritting his teeth under the barrage, the bruised and battered Super Saiyan opened up his arms and fought off the robots with a kick, smacking one in the head and knocking it away. He then dove in and proceeded to hammer his opponents mercilessly with punches, elbows and knees, his attacks landing with loud shockwaves, as well as bending and distorting their diminutive forms. Once his assault was complete, he then sent the two machines plummeting into the streets below with a swift punch and a kick, where one crashed into the tarmac and another caved in the roof of a parked car.
Panting after seeing the dust settle around his opponents, Trunks then looked down at his fists and waved them irritably. "Damn it. It's like smacking around a pair of beach balls!"
It was ridiculous. Not only were these things actually tough to hit, but they were also cushioned due to the unusual material that'd been used in their construction. This made attacking them exhausting because their bodies were able to absorb and nullify the hits from the people hitting them, meaning Trunks had to hit a lot harder than he was used to.
The results of this stressful realization were beginning to show, as Trunks took an offensive stance when he saw his two opponents look up at him with their expressionless faces. Before the boy could fire down at them, the CAT droid duo raised their hands and began lobbing energy spheres up at their target, forcing the hybrid to begin dodging rapidly and awkwardly due to the suddenness of the barrage.
Yelling when one of the shots barely grazed his head, the young warrior quickly threw his hand down and fired off a shot of his own, striking the ground between the two robots and sending them tumbling down the road with the rubble. The moment they stopped rolling, Goten suddenly came dropping out of the sky to crash down in the tarmac nearby.
His own gi torn and face covered in bruises, the younger brother of Gohan looked up from his place to see his two opponents come diving after him, their fists held up and ready for a pummeling.
Reacting quickly, the boy dodged the attack from the droid that reached him first. Then, as soon as the second one dropped down behind him for an attempt, Goten brought his foot up and kicked the robot into its companion, sending both automatons down the road to join their friends, who had also been grounded.
Taking the initiative, Trunks jumped over the four robots kneeling in the middle of the road to land next to his friend. The moment he touched down, both adolescents cupped their hands in the center and powered up.
"Goten! Now!" the lavender haired boy shouted.
All at once, both children threw their hands forward and unleashed a simultaneous Kamehameha Wave at their foes. Their attacks melded together in midflight consumed the four little robots while they were still struggling to their feet, seconds before a massive explosion ripped across the town and rattled the surrounding buildings. People watching from nearby cried out in terror as they were pelted by dust and debris, the force of the attack shifting buildings off of their foundations and filling the sky with a fiery, mushroom shaped cloud. Eventually the plume faded into the atmosphere and, when the tired and beaten demi-Saiyan duo watched the space in front of them clear, they saw a massive crater emerge from the thick and four seemingly unconscious robots lying at the bottom of the crevice.
It looked as though their attack had been a success. But then, just when Goten and Trunks were beginning to think that their opponents were about to stand up again and carry on with a fourth bout, the pair suddenly saw the robot in the middle of the formation raise their hand and wave a white flag in defeat. This was especially hilarious to see coming from the little droid, as it continued to remain where it was, lying flat on its back in the pit surrounded by its beaten yet still remarkably intact comrades.
Nevertheless, seeing the white flag filled both Goten and Trunks with a sense of relief, as both boys soon collapsed shoulder-to-shoulder in the middle of the road. When their Super Saiyan forms dispelled, their bodies revealed the various cuts, bruises and blood splatters they'd sustained during their scuffle, indicating just how tough of a fight they'd had. Taking a few moments to catch their breaths, Trunks then raised his fist towards his friend and bumped knuckles with him.
"We did it. Way to go, buddy."
"Yeah," Goten chirped, "You too, Trunks."
After a full minute of kicking back and resting from the battle, the pair was suddenly roused from their daze by the sound of footsteps approaching. When they opened their eyes, they saw their four opponents, covered in scratches and dirt, holding up plastic water bottles and towels to them.
Surprised by the unexpected offering and even more confused as to where the four little CAT droids had managed to get those supplies, the kids instead threw all caution to the wind and accepted their help gratefully.
Goten giggled when he took the water bottle from the one closest to him, "Thank you very much."
In response, the cat robot raised a cardboard sign that said, 'You're welcome.'
Putting the warm towel to his face to wipe off the blood, Trunks smiled at the automaton in front of him and laughed, "Man. These guys are, like, the nicest opponents we've ever had."
"I know," Goten replied, while also taking a warm towel from the same robot in the middle. "Mum would love to have these guys doing chores around the house. I bet they'll be a huge help for her, since I'm not really good at doing dishes or anything."
"Doesn't your mum hate having pets inside the house though?" Trunks asked with an inquisitive look, as he was well aware of the incidents his friend's oldest sibling had experienced with his parent regarding their family dragon Icarus. "You know, because they get dirt everywhere and make a mess of the place."
"Yeah. But these guys aren't animals," Goten said cheerily, at the same time turning to beam at the squad of robotic cats standing at attention. "They're robots… and they're awesome."
While the two sat and enjoyed a breather, along with the four little critters who'd called it quits and were now helping their opponents, the pair were suddenly joined by a third party. Floating down from the sky above, the Saiyan youngsters saw a slightly burnt and disheveled Android 18 land nearby, with her arms wrapped around the three CAT droids she'd previously been fighting. Just like with Goten and Trunks, the little automatons were all in one piece, yet clearly showed the signs of a small beating.
"Hey, Ms Eighteen!" Goten greeted with a wave. "Did you have fun?"
Holding the cat robots as if she were cuddling them, the normally expressionless android put on a smile and tilted her head. "Yeah," she chirped. "A lot."
