Android Zero

Android Zero is a bio-android created by Dr. Gero as a prototype to Cell. His DNA mainly consists of Android 17 & 18, and has extensive knowledge of the greatest fighters on Earth due to simulations being transferred into his brain during development.

Future Trunks used the Dragon Balls to wish him into the future to help him protect time itself.

Appearance
Android Zero looks very similar to his brother and sister, Androids 17 & 18, although, slightly shorter. Due to his extremely fast growth and lack of sunlight, Android Zeros skin is completely white; similar to Android 19. He has dark green eyes, brown parted hair, and black stud earrings. He commonly wears an all black gi with a red belt.

Personality
Being sheltered during the developmental periods of his life, Android Zero was blank a lot of the time. He did whatever Dr. Gero instructed him to do.

He tends to keep to himself, and can be rather shy.

Background
After the Red Ribbon Army is defeated by Goku (Age 750), Dr. Gero goes into hiding in his laboratory located in a mountain area north of North City. In this lab, he strives to create the ultimate fighting machine. Using an extremely intelligent tracking device disguised as a ladybug, he studies Goku and the Z Fighters for years, observing the fights Goku has with Tien Shinhan, King Piccolo, Piccolo, and the Saiyans Raditz, Nappa and Vegeta.

Dr. Gero ceases the study of Goku's power when the Saiyan leaves for Namek, (Age 762) believing he had already compiled enough information; so he simply adjusts the androids power levels to accommodate for Goku's expected power increase, not accounting for the power level of Goku's Super Saiyan form. Believing he had created the ultimate fighting machines, he finalizes his plans and constructed a series of Androids.

While looking for fresh material for his experiments, Dr. Gero meets two notorious delinquents by chance, two siblings, a boy and a girl. He then kidnaps them and restructures them into Android 17 and Android 18. While constructing the Androids, Dr. Gero discovers a way to fuse together the cells from the strongest warriors to walk the Earth (Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, and King Cold), and tries to create a supreme fighting entity. After realizing that his project would take too long to complete, he decides to turn attention to other matters and leave his supercomputer from his lab to complete the ultimate being, who he names Cell. He did however start on a prototype bio-android to see if it was possible. By taking the human DNA of Android 17 & 18 and fusing it with an artificial egg. This started the process of "growing" Android Zero.

Simulations and images of the greatest warriors on Earth were being transmitted into the developing brain of Android Zero. Growth hormones and other drugs were used to speed up the "pregnancy" resulting in the baby being born in 3 months, and with the maximum strength of an adult male.

Dr. Gero raised and trained Android Zero until Age 767 when he was 4 years old and fully developed into an adult body. This was timed perfectly for when Android 19 & Dr. Gero chose to reveal themselves thus starting the "Androids Saga" But on that day, something happened. In a future timeline, a wish was made...

Dragon Ball Xenoverse
After witnessing several disruptions in the timeline caused by Dark Frieza, Dark Cell, & Dark Kid Buu, Future Trunks summons Shenron wishing for a strong ally, one with the power to defend time itself. Android Zero is transported to age 850 where Future Trunks immediately attacks to test the confused Androids strength, and engages him in battle.

Following the fight, Trunks introduces himself and explains that he was summoned by a wish from Shenron to Toki Toki City to work alongside Future Trunks as a member of the. Android Zero is perplexed; he's never seen anyone besides Dr. Gero and the androids in his lab, now he was in a bustling future city.

Future Trunks asks Zero to join the Time Patrol, and help fix a distortion in the Scroll of Time. Seeing as Zero was now stuck in this timeline; he accepts.

Saiyan Saga XV
Android Zero is lead to the Time Storage Vault by Future Trunks, where he is given his first mission. Zero was sent back in time to Age 761 where he sees familiar faces. These people have been burned into his memory. He sees Goku, Piccolo, a young Gohan and Raditz. After narrowly saving Gohan from Raditz's blast, he fights against the Saiyan warrior. A single jab to the stomach subdued Raditz, allowing Goku to latch onto him for Piccolo to use his Special Beam Cannon. After history is restored, Future Trunks congratulates the Future Warrior on a good job, with no negative side effects on history.

Later, Android Zero is sent to aid more familiar faces (Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu and Krillin) in their brawl against hordes of powered up Saibamen, a couple Tennenman, and a Jinkouman. Although things look good at the start, Zero is separated from the group, resulting in the deaths of Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha. Succeeding in killing off all the Saibamen with a volley of ki blasts, Nappa steps in only to be knocked down by Android Zero. After seeing he is no match for Zero, Nappa tries to kill Gohan with a Bomber DX, with Piccolo stepping in to save his life by sacrificing his own. Nappa is instantly rejuvenated by a surge of dark energy. Vegeta fights Goku and leaves Nappa to his own. Zero, for the first time in his life feels anger at the sight of Piccolos demise. He fires a powerful ki blast killing Nappa and sets his sights on Vegeta.

Zero defeats Vegeta in his Great Ape state by cutting off his tail with a destructo disc, and prevents Krillin from attempting to kill the Saiyan prince to avoid a timeline alteration, with Goku agreeing. Once back at the time nest, the Future Warrior meets Chronoa 'The Supreme Kai of Time' and her ancient pet, Tokitoki.

Namek Saga XV
Future Trunks finds another disturbance in the timeline and asks Zero to correct it. Joining the Z-Fighters on Namek, Age 762, December 24 Android Zero helps Vegeta fight an empowered Captain Ginyu until Recoome steps onto the field. After Recoome was almost killed by Zero with an energy blast, he leaps up and attempts to destroy the battlefield with his Recoome Ultra Fighting Bomber, before being swiftly interrupted by Goku.

Seeing Zeros immense power, Burter and Jeice step into the battle to aid Ginyu. Ginyu tries to swap bodies with Goku, but Zero flies into the path of the beam thinking it's a regular energy blast. Zero is now in the signfigantly weaker body of Captain Ginyu and has to fight Burter and Jeice. Ginyu fights with Goku in the body of Android Zero, but only at a fraction of the new bodies full power; as he had to adjust to the new bodies energy. After Zero defeats Burter and Jeice, Goku asks Zero to check in on Krillin and Gohan at Frieza's spaceship, as him in Ginyu's body would let them go on board the ship with no hassle.

Zero, Gohan, and Krillin fight against Raspberry & Nabana, before, Guldo, Appule, and Navel enter the ship. At first, Guldo is surprised that his "Captain" is attacking him, though he eventually realizes that Ginyu must have performed a body swap. Guldo seeing he is loosing, flies away leaving his henchmen to defend the ship.

Once the trio gather the Dragon Balls, Ginyu (in Android Zeros body) and Goku arrive on site to continue their fight. After Goku & Zero both weaken Ginyu, he tries to swap with Goku again, but Zero jumps in-front of the beam to be restored into his original body. However his body has been beaten from Zero and Goku fighting it.

Guldo suddenly appears and freezes Goku with telekinesis long enough for Ginyu to body swap with Goku. Vegeta joins in to fight Guldo while Zero and Goku (now in Ginyus body) fight against Ginyu (inside Gokus body). Vegeta ends up executing Guldo, and the weakened Zero and Goku defeat Ginyu. Once Ginyu in Goku's body is beaten and battered, Vegeta tries to finish Ginyu off. Ginyu tries to take advantage of the opportunity and swap bodies with Vegeta, but Goku leaps in the way. Ginyu tries to swap again, but Goku tosses a Namekian Frog in the way, trapping Ginyu in a useless body.

Zero then locates the cause of the distortions, Mira and Towa. Mira wants to test Android Zeros power and challenges him to a fight. Mira is the most powerful opponent Zero has ever faced, and he knows he's barely trying. After a brief fight, Mira is not remotely intimidated and is ready to steal the Warrior's energy, until Towa stops him, and says they have better business to attend to.

Later, at the Time Nest. Future Trunks and Android Zero talk about what happened and wonder who the mysterious duo, Towa & Mira are. Chronoa walks over to them and explains that Towa is the little sister of the Demon King, Dabura, and Mira is a warrior she created. Together, they are stealing strong warriors energy throughout time in hopes of releasing the seal on the Demon Realm. If the Demon Realm is open, then the balance of the entire universe will collapse.

Trunks is then interrupted by an all too soon disturbance in time. He hands Zero a senzu bean and asks him immediately check it out.

Frieza Saga XV
Android Zero is sent back in time to a very aggravated Frieza facing off against Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta.

Zero uses a lightning quick punch to the gut that brings Frieza to his knees. Trying to catch his breath, the tyrant reveals he has three more transformations. However, the unseen interferes which leads Frieza to skip to his final form.

Piccolo arrives to Namek only to see he has no chance in beating Frieza in his fourth form. The healed up Goku shows up shortly after and begins to fight with Frieza. Goku yells to Zero that he's not powerful enough to defeat the enhanced Frieza, and asks to stall him while he generates enough power for a spirit bomb. Zero appears behind Freiza and holds him in a full nelson while Goku charges his attack. After the attack is launched, The struggling Frieza takes the full force of a spirit bomb.

Goku and his friends celebrate the defeat of Frieza, with Android Zero silently watching from afar. That is, until a death beam exits through Piccolo's chest. Frieza is now surrounded in a dark purple aura with red glowing eyes. Zero sense he is significantly stronger. The powered up Frieza then flings Krillin into the air and causes him to explode. This act pushes Goku over the edge, causing him to become a Super Saiyan.

Zero and SSJ Goku easily beat around Frieza Until the monster sets to destroy Namek with a Death Ball. The two fighters than face Full Power, dark magic empowered Frieza on dying Namek. This is the strongest enemy Zero has faced since Mira, but this would be a battle to the death. This was to fix history. Luckily the Super Saiyan Goku was there to help in the battle. Frieza's dark aura disappears as he is now weakened and back to normal.

Goku sees Porunga and asks Zero to leave Frieza to him, but not before saying, "I really don't know much about you, but you really helped me out." This warms Androids Zero's empty heart, and he's taken back to The Time Nest.

Trunks, and Chronoa ponder on why Towa & Mira didn't show up to the battle with Frieza. Zero tells them that he used his full power in that battle, and if it wasn't for Goku being there, he would have lost. He tells him he needs to get stronger.

After Zero and Trunks return to Toki Toki City, Trunks reveals that the reason he started the Time Patrol was because he went back in time to save his own timeline, and feels selfish about it. So the Time Patrol is a way to atone for his sins of the past. He tells Zero, "Shenron chose you out of the countless fighters in the universe and throughout time. Anything that comes our way we can handle it." Trunks then say's, with a smirk, "lets go train."

Power
Android Zero is a bio-android, which means when he trains, he can grow stronger. From his conception, he has been training. He was created as a test to see if something like Cell was even possible, so his potential is immense.

He's a master of the mimicry technique. If he witnesses a type of attack, he can almost certainly recreate it. This is due to his brain being filled with simulations before being born.

Before he was wished into the future by Trunks, Android Zero was about as strong as his brother, Android 17.
