Raising the Stakes

Goku and Super Android 17 begin to fight. None of Goku's attacks seem to deal any damage at all to 17, so he is forced to transform into a Super Saiyan 4. He hits 17 with hundreds of energy blasts, but none of them seem to hurt the android. He tries a Kamehameha wave, but 17 makes no effort to get out of the way, and Goku realizes that 17 is absorbing the energy, just like Android 19 did. Now that he can't use any energy blasts, Goku tries to use Instant Transmission to sneak up on 17, but the android can sense where he is going to appear. With none of Goku's tactics working, Super Android 17 conjures a powerful energy ball to finish him off.
