Vegeta engages Android 18 in combat, initially appearing to hold the advantage. Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan arrive shortly thereafter. Vegeta honors a prior agreement with Android 17, who warns that interference will trigger his own involvement. Android 18 had deliberately prolonged the encounter to exhaust Vegeta’s energy.
