Hellooooo! This is my first time going into the Dragon Ball Z universe to write a story so if I forget some things or some things aren't following plot points, please point them out. It's a pretty large verse, so I'm bound to make a mistake here and there. Thanks, and read and review!
Terra looked at her unconscious brother with some pity and anger, narrowing her eyes on his face. The wounds he had received in his latest tussle with the Androids were quite severe, almost to the point that when Terra and her mother had found Trunks all by himself, laying in the dust and rubble, they were sure he wasn't going to survive. However, with enough scarce resources and luck, Bulma and Terra were able to get Trunks under a stable condition, but only just. Terra remained hovered over her brother's body, still and quiet with a deep furrowed brow, her cobalt eyes staring through him to see if there was any sign of trouble with his ki. It was steady, still affected by the latest battle but it was there. If it had been her, Terra knew it would be harder to decipher whether she was living or dead. She felt her mother's ki before she entered the room; it was reassuring to know she was around despite their constant bickering on Terra and Trunks' fighting with the Androids. Bulma stepped into the room with an armload of supplies she managed to scavenge on her latest trip outside.
"You really shouldn't step outside with either of us not in the capacity to protect you, mother." Terra stated flatly.
Bulma heavily sighed, placing the supplies on a nearby desk, "Terra, I survived long enough without just you and Trunks to protect me, I'm fine."
Terra snorted, "You're being unreasonable, mother."
Bulma narrowed her eyes on her daughter, "I'm fine, Terra. It's yourself you need to worry about, you haven't moved, ate, or slept in the past two days!"
Terra's eyebrows furrowed again, "I'll sleep when I'm dead."
Bulma spun on her heel with a furious expression, "Don't even joke about that, Terra! I've almost lost Trunks and I'm not losing you to exhaustion and starvation."
Terra smirked, "You honestly think you're going to win me over with food?"
Bulma returned her expression, "You're half Saiyan, kiddo. You'll need all that extra energy. I remembered how you guys eat. Even your father had a ravenous hunger."
Terra's ears perked up when she heard the stirring of her brother from his long slumber. She smiled softly as she peered at Trunks finally reopening his blue eyes with a tired expression on his face. She ruffled his lavender hair affectionately, as he grunted against her touch.
"Jeez, Terra, you never let up." He groaned.
"Your fault for going against them without me." Terra teased
Bulma rushed to her son's side, "Trunks, it's me sweetheart. It's your mommy. Everything is okay."
"Mom? It's really you!" Trunks exclaimed as his vision started clearing up.
"Of course! Who else? Somebody has to stay alive to take care of you guys." She reassured her children.
Trunks looked away from his mother, ashamed, "I'm sorry mom, as always you were right. I shouldn't have tried to take them on, they were too strong."
Terra smirked at her brother, "You should've invited me, I'd have been glad to destroy those two with you."
Bulma nudged her, "C'mon you two, don't get too competitive, I don't want to witness both of you getting hurt."
"Mom…" Trunks looked at her with unshed tears.
"Hey," Bulma patted his head, "You're alive you goose, you know that's all that matters to me right now. Having you two works me up so constantly is not great for my appearance, but I guess that comes with being a mother to two half Saiyans. How I survived the pregnancy with you and Terra is a miracle in itself. But I guess it was meant to be." Bulma smiled as she stared at her young children, saddened by the fact that they had to grow up so fast in an unforgiving world.
Trunks contemplated to himself for a moment or tow before finally speaking up, "Mom. I think I'm ready to take a trip in the time machine when it's ready."
Bulma and Terra stared at Trunks with a disdainful look, "Trunks you don't even know if you have any arms or legs underneath that blanket, but you're saying you want to pilot the time machine."
"Hey I could still steer it, after all he needs me just as well for the trip." Terra chimed in.
"Oh no. Not you too," Bulma narrowed her eyes on her headstrong daughter, "what makes you think that you have what it takes after what your brother has been through."
Terra huffed, "I'm just as strong as Trunks, I can be a Super Saiyan as well. You said it yourself: we are half-bred Saiyans we can do this, Mother, you don't have to worry about Trunks or me. We can handle it."
Bulma shook her head, "I don't know where you two get that stubborn pride from: your father or me. But looking at you two…I guess I can see it's a little of both."
Trunks and Terra locked eyes on one another before Trunks spoke again, "So?"
Bulma sighed, seeing there was no reason to argue with the two most stubborn people in her life, "First things first, Trunks needs to concentrate on healing up for a couple of weeks, then we will worry about giving the antidote to Goku."
Terra smiled genuinely at her mother while handing a vial of medicine to Trunks to take, "Gohan's dad huh? You really think he's that strong? Strong enough to make a difference."
Bulma beamed at her children, "Oh yes! He can make a difference alright. But its not how strong he is, guys. Goku has this incredible feeling about him. When you're with him you just know everything is going to be fine. And it always is."
Trunks grinned, "Man! Sounds good! I can't believe I get to see Gohan again! And get to meet my dad and see what he's like!"
Terra winced as she looked over at her mother, whose face resembled sorrow and pain, "Yeah well I wouldn't expect too much out of your father dear."
"I'm just glad we have one small glimmer of hope in this barren wasteland." Terra mumbled.
Bulma smirked at her daughter, "I see your superiority showing, Terra. Always reacting like the Saiyan princess you are, huh?"
Terra frowned at her mother's comment, "I don't need your teasing, mother. I just want to stop all this senseless destruction." Terra crossed her arms as she stared at the floor with a furrowed brow. She felt her mother's hand cup her cheek and direct her line of sight into her eyes. Bulma smiled at her daughter, she is so much like her father at times, Bulma thought to herself before she embraced Terra. Terra, after a few moments, returned the hug with a small grin and eventually let go as seconds passed by.
Bulma looked at her children, knowing they were as prepared for this as they could be. There would be no turning back once this trip started and she knew that even though they didn't stand a chance against the Androids of this time, perhaps in a different one they could receive better training with Goku and the others. Vegeta she wasn't too sure of, even when he was alive and saw his heirs, he didn't pay much attention to either of them. He was too proud and for all Bulma could tell, he interpreted the births of these children and his brief affair with her being a mistake.
Bulma sighed, "Alright I'll let you two go, but you have to remain on your guard, there's no telling how bad altering the past will play out. When you give Goku the antidote you guys need to tell him about all the bad stuff that's happening in this time as well, he will need to know everything. But the most important thing is that you two need to keep your identities secret. If any of them find out who you two are, especially my past self and your father, your entire existence hangs in the balance. Vegeta is…was a very secluded man and reluctant to feel emotions and I was, at the time, different, more involved with myself than others. If either finds out that we have children together before the Androids arrive, we may not…" Bulma blushed remembering the nights they spent together.
"I get the picture, mom," Trunks mumbled.
"No need to give us a scarring image there." Terra snorted.
"Well excuse me for being young once!" Bulma yelled, "Here I am trying to protect your existence and you two aren't taking it seriously."
Terra and Trunks chuckled, "We didn't mean to, Mother. Honest!" Terra spoke.
Bulma shook her head, "Honestly you guys. You need to be careful. I don't want to lose either of you."
Trunks gave a smile towards his mother, "We will, mom. Promise."
Terra smiled as well, "Yeah, and with me helping out Trunks, we will be A-Okay."
Bulma looked proud at her children, grown up before her eyes, if only Vegeta got to see how mature they became, he might've been proud, "Alright I'll make the preparations, get some rest, this won't be an easy trip, kiddos." Bulma left her children with a wave to prepare some dinner in the other room
"You got it mom." Trunks mumbled as his body succumb to sleep again in an effort to heal itself. Terra looked at her brother with solemn eyes, wondering if she were there to help, perhaps they could've destroyed the Androids this time. She shook her head and rested on a nearby chair leaning her head back, and got some much-needed rest.
"Gosh, you don't know how proud I am for you and Terra for doing this. You look so handsome, Trunks Brief!" Bulma exclaimed before she said farewell to her children on their long journey to the past.
"How do I look?" Terra spoke as she emerged from the ruins of the Capsule Corp. building they used as their home. Bulma had equipped Terra with a battle suit, skintight of shiny black material and blue accents. It had attached gloves and boots to match making her look resemble that of her father's battle armor without the chest plates. It was all she could make and since Terra was smaller than Trunks in muscle mass and a little bit in height, Terra was the one given the suit while Trunks wore a menagerie of clothing including a Capsule Corp. jacket and the sword he used in battle. Terra kept her hair half up, letting her raven tresses fall to her waist and she kept a bag of necessary supplies in capsule form should anything happen to the Time Machine.
"Stunning, sweetheart, though if I have to say you might just paralyze your enemies wearing that." Bulma chuckled.
Terra flipped her hair with a cocky expression on her face, "I don't see why not."
Trunks rolled his eyes at his sister, always the dramatic one, he looked at his mother as she handed him a small vial of medicine, "I guess this is the antidote for Goku?"
Bulma nodded, "Yeah, do me a favor? Don't drop it."
Trunks nodded back, "Right, stay out of trouble while we are gone, alright?"
Bulma smirked, "Sure, you know me."
Terra laughed, "Yeah that's why Trunks' worried." She turned to her brother, "Ready?"
Trunks nodded as they both took to the air and landed in the tight compartment of the Time Machine.
"Trunks! Terra! I want you two back!" Bulma warned them before the latch to the door slammed shut.
"I love you!" Both Trunks and Terra said in unison.
"I love you too, kiddos." Bulma said as the Time Machine took to the sky and disappeared within the blink of an eye. Bulma looked at the sky though, hoping they were safe wherever they were. "If only you kids knew how much. They're in your hands now Goku…"
The Time Machine was a little imprecise with the location that they were looking for. Trunks and Terra decided that they'd want to meet up with Goku after he had destroyed Freiza and his father King Cold, as what was told to them by their mother. However the Time Machine, while near the area in question, was nowhere close. As they stumbled out of the machine, Trunks and Terra looked at the Earth untouched by the Androids. It was in the middle of a canyon like terrain, no cities or people, but Terra and Trunks could tell how untouched this world was by just looking at it.
"Trunks, we did it. We made it." Terra stated in tone of disbelief. She felt like she could almost cry, this is an Earth she had never seen, perhaps if she can change the course of history she could spare the Terra of this time the pain she endured.
"I think we should stop using our names, it'd be giving away who we are, we don't want that." Trunks said looking at the surroundings as well.
"Yeah, lest we want to not exist anymore." Terra stated flatly, "So where do we go from here?"
Trunks looked at his wrist gadget, it showed where they were located and from what Terra could decipher by Trunks' current expression, they weren't close to where Freiza and King Cold would land. He sighed and shook his head turning to his sister with a frustrated face.
"We are a bit farther away from where Freiza's ship should be than expected, but he shouldn't arrive no sooner than about an hour tops." Trunks said, "Still though this might become an inconvenience should we want to return three years later."
Terra glanced at her brother, "Three years? You mean you want to face the Androids with them?"
Trunks narrowed his eyes on Terra, "Of course, I thought you were aware of that."
Terra shook her head, "No, I wasn't. Did you tell mom?"
Trunks blushed and looked down, "I couldn't bring myself to tell her."
Terra exploded, "Then how the hell am I supposed to know!? You didn't tell me!"
Trunks shrank in the shadow of his enraged sister, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry! I didn't realize I didn't tell you."
Terra smirked, "Uh huh, is there anything else you're not telling me?"
Trunks shrugged, "I don't think so, that's about it. I guess all we can do is play the waiting game."
Terra raised an eyebrow, "The waiting game? What do you mean by that?"
"Well we gotta see Goku in action, right? Might as well see him wreck Freiza and see if Mom really knew what she was talking about." Trunks suggested. "Plus we can hide our energy and watch the entire thing, afterwards we will get him alone and tell him everything."
Terra smiled, "You mean you will hide your energy, after all my ki is far too erratic for scouters and people to feel. Even you can't."
Trunks nodded, "Yeah, and speaking of, you okay?"
Terra furrowed her brow, "I'm fine, stop worrying."
Trunks smirked, "I like teasing you like that, you get so pouty."
Terra yelled, "I'm NOT pouty!"
Trunks laughed, "Alright, calm down. Let's see if we can head over to the landing site. And quickly, don't want to lose track of time."
Terra nodded, "Agreed, let's get moving."
Terra and Trunks powered up, moving as fast as they could towards the supposed site where the battle would happen. As they move towards a safe distance from the foretold battlefield, Trunks and Terra kept their energy down (or rather Trunks did) as they waited patiently for Goku to arrive. Through all the years of learning about the Earth's greatest fighters, Terra and Trunks were finally going to see them in person. Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and even their former master Gohan would be among them. It would be great to see any of them in action, Terra thought to herself. However her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a powerful force heading towards Earth at a steady pace. She looked over to her brother to see the same pained expression that she wore herself on his face.
"Is it too late to assume this is Goku?" Terra asked.
Trunks shook his head, "It can't be…the power feels too…"
"Evil?" Terra chimed in. Trunks nodded, "But this doesn't make sense, Trunks. Goku should already be here to fight Freiza and his father, but we can't feel him anywhere."
"Maybe he's hiding his power level so he can't be sensed." Trunks suggested
Terra narrowed her eyes, "But he's about to enter the Earth's atmosphere at any second, he could blow up the planet in that time."
Trunks stared at his sister with a worried look in his eyes, "Maybe we just have to wait long enough, perhaps Goku will show then.."
A loud noise penetrated their eardrums as a large spacecraft came into view over the horizon. It was coming in fast, Freiza must be pissed about Goku, Trunks thought to himself as the craft was getting closer and closer to them, not slowing down their descent.
Terra watched as the craft lowered itself not too far from their location when a bright idea popped into her head, "Maybe…maybe we should face him."
Trunks snapped at his sister, "What?! Are you crazy? This is Freiza we are talking about, and not to be rude or anything but it isn't our job to take him down. Time says that Goku is the one who will, not us."
Terra furrowed her brows, "Yes but I don't see nor sense Goku anywhere. If he's not here in time, Earth will be in terrible danger. And besides we are a lot stronger than Freiza I can tell. We could strike him down quicker than any of the other fighters! Trunks, I don't want another apocalyptic future!"
Trunks huffed, "We will get in closer but we will not engage unless absolutely necessary, do I make myself clear, Terra?"
Terra hesitantly nodded her head, "Perfectly, now come on let's get there on foot, we need to remain under the radar."
After getting a bit closer to the ship once it landed Trunks and Terra tried their best to evaluate the situation. A group of men clambered out of the spacecraft with strange armors and visors strapped to their faces. These must be the scouters mother warned us about, Terra thought to herself, The uniforms are completely dated though, absolutely ridiculous looking. I wonder if Vegeta himself wore something similar. As the men stood in formation, a pair of strange aliens emerged from the top of the ship wearing a more intricate design on their armor, or at least the large one did. The other one, the smaller one, looked like a cyborg, mismatched in tons of robotic parts and had a scowl on his face like he was focused on something.
"Trunks, I believe that one is Freiza, the small one that looks like a broken bot." Terra telepathically spoke to Trunks.
"Even so, he's still pretty strong." He replied with caution.
"No where near your strength. I've seen you in action." Terra smirked
"You're exaggerating."
"No, trust me. Just because we haven't finished off the Androids yet doesn't mean you can't face up against Freiza. He's worthless, barely holding it together."
"Just wait until Goku arrives." Trunks looked at his sister with reassuring eyes as she slowly nodded.
"In that case, let's listen on to what this Freiza really is going to do."
Terra observed the alien from afar. He didn't seem that terrifying but the power level she could feel surely would send the fear of death into anyone who was indeed inferior. He looked almost laughable rather than the scary alien that her mother described. This alien once imprisoned Vegeta in a hell that even he wanted to get out of, despite hearing of his bloodthirsty nature from her mother. It was almost pitiable. Terra narrowed her eyes on the pair of aliens as the minutes rolled by hearing whatever they spoke just to gather information.
"So this is Earth? I've destroyed worse." Freiza spoke condescendingly.
"We didn't come all this way to toy with Earthlings, my son, we came here for the Super Saiyan who hurt you." King Cold spoke, "Yes, we will crush the life out of him. Anyone in the universe who threatens are supremacy must be utterly CONQUERED!"
"It's almost cute how much he wants to protect his son, Trunks." Terra spoke to Trunks sarcastically.
Trunks shook his head, "I think it's more that his legacy is being tarnished rather than his son's well being."
"Well between the two of us, Father, I'm sure we can pulverize him. But I'm stronger than I was before so I might be able to vanquish him all by myself." Freiza smirked with an icy grin.
"I'm afraid the opponent you're so eager to face won't be home for another three hours, Freiza. Shall we wait for him?"
Trunks and Terra stared at each other shocked, had time changed already?
"Terra, no one can make it in that kind of time. Not even Goku." Trunks stared at her, worrying.
"So are we gonna go with my plan? Because if I remember anything about Freiza from mother, he doesn't have much patience and I'm willing to bet he's going to torture some innocent people soon enough."
"I'm not sure…"
"Trunks," Terra placed a hand on his shoulder, "I can't sense any fighters in the area, and Goku was apparently the only person who could stop Freiza. With him so far away, we can do it."
Trunks looked down to the ground before finally nodding, "Fine, I'll take out Freiza and his henchmen. You need to shadow me."
"I call dibs on the big guy. He has nothing against me, and it would be thrilling to see that bastard fall from grace." Terra sneered at King Cold, as if she were a predator scoping out her prey.
"Very well, but maybe we should introduce ourselves to their majesties." Trunks smirked.
Terra chuckled softly, "Sounds like a plan"
As they moved into their positions of their ambush, they listened into Freiza's conversation with great intrigue. They needed a perfect signal to strike, and judging by the strength of their small battalion, it would be cake to finish these guys off.
"Without a doubt father," Freiza continued, "But I want to crush his spirit before I finish him off. Perhaps killing all the Earthlings would be a nice touch, how many can we get in three hours?" Terra stared at her brother as he nodded, Now would be best to strike. "I guess there's only one way to find out." Freiza then busted out into maniacal laughter sending shivers down Trunks' back. "Hurry Goku! Hurry! I've crawled back from the brink of DEATH itself to wreak my revenge upon you!" Freiza turned his head towards his soldiers, "Move out men, and when you encounter Earthlings…well you know what to do. Now go!"
"Now?" She asked Trunks. He nodded.
"Now!" He replied. They both flew at blinding speed at the soldiers before they took to the sky, slicing and blasting them to bits in about three seconds flat. The kills had been easy as if they were made of tissue paper, so much unlike the foes they had encountered in their time. Its as though they were made of butter, Terra thought to herself as she blasted one enemy through the chest with a purple ki blast. Trunks sliced through his opponents with his sword like meat being carved and prepared and it was all over in a flash. Trunks and Terra floated in the sky to get a better look at their enemies. It seemed Freiza was a bit shocked to see them as his face mirrored that of a scared kitten. Trunks looked towards Terra with a smile and nodded towards the ground as if to signal to land in front of their foes. She followed her brother and both landed softly on their feet. Trunks stood still with a blank but focused expression while Terra leaned against his shoulder with her arms crossed and a sly smirk painted on her face.
Freiza's eyes narrowed on the teenagers as Trunks sheathed his sword back into its scabbard placing his hands to his side.
"Alright," Freiza's mechanical voice spoke, "you have our attention, what do you want?"
"To kill you two, what else?" Trunks spoke with seriousness laced in his voice.
There was a strained silence among the two groups, Freiza's group being utterly shocked and petrified while Trunks and Terra remained serious.
"Sorry could you repeat that?" King Cold asked flatly, his eyes narrowing as if he were trying to intimidate them. Terra snorted playing with her hair paying them no attention at all.
"We are here to kill you." She smirked as she saw their faces widen in a split second of terror.
Freiza eyes observed both of them, "They're serious, Father. Oh I'm terrified, aren't you." His expression sarcastic and not concerned in the slightest while King Cold gave an agreed grunt in return. "If only you knew with whom you were picking a fight."
Terra laughed, "Oh we know exactly who you are?"
Freiza's eyes narrowed on her as she continued to smirk, That's right bastard, look into death's eyes, she thought to herself.
Trunks smirked as well, "Yeah, you're Freiza." Freiza looked up in confusion, "It really shouldn't be that surprising. Truth is we have known about you for years."
Freiza sneered, "Ah you flatter me. It seems my reputation precedes me even on the likes of this worthless rock. Well not completely, it seems someone failed to tell you that I'm the strongest being this universe has ever seen." He refused to look at them, condescending little lizard isn't he? Terra thought to herself.
Trunks merely replied with the same tone, "Seems someone failed to tell you you're gonna die here." This caught Freiza's attention as he visibly snarled at the two of them, enraged by their disrespect. But it slowly vanished into a smirk.
"I grow bored of this," Freiza stated, turning to one of his remaining soldiers, "Deal with them."
"Right!" The soldier replied
"And the rest of you," Freiza continued, "Go kill everyone you see"
"Sir, yes sir." They replied obediently assuming their positions. Trunks turned to his sister with a smile. He's got this, I know that look.
"Listen up!" Trunks yelled at the soldiers, they all froze in place, "Surrender now, and I'll let you live. Once we start this, there's no going back."
"Yeah? We will see about that kid!" One soldier replied.
"Hey!" The first soldier whom Freiza talked to spoke, "Freiza told me to flatten this little twerp," the soldier placed his fingers on the side of his scouter scanning both Terra and Trunks. "Hmmm, his power level is only five. And hers….HAHAHAHA it's one! Oh this will be too easy." Terra smirked at her brother who returned it with a smile, "What a joke! Yeah you two will be all over the landscape! But you won't suffer too much." The soldier aimed his blaster at them with purpose squeezing the trigger as a blast hurled towards them. It was quick but Trunks was quicker, slapping the blast away from them as if it were a beach ball. The soldier, dumbfounded, fired three more shots but Trunks deflected all easily. He brushed his lavender locks out of his face still facing down the enemy in silence. He smiled and chuckled as he moved quickly punching the soldier in the face knocking him back into the side of the ship next to Freiza.
Freiza turned towards his opponent with a smirk, "Well.."
The other soldiers turned to face Trunks and Terra, "Now you're gonna die!"
Trunks looked back at Terra and nodded. He sheathed his sword and Terra prepared some ki to throw at them. The soldiers charged forward and so did Terra and Trunks. The siblings were quicker, just like last time disposing of their enemies as if they were standing still. Trunks and Terra watched as the soldiers fell and turned to Freiza. His expression was priceless, completely enraged. They stared at each other for what seemed like hours until Freiza smiled.
"Seems you're tougher than you look." He spoke. Both Trunks and Terra flipped their hair from their eyes but never once straying away from Freiza's sight.
"Well now that wasn't half bad," King Cold spoke up.
Freiza chuckled, "For two Earthlings that is."
"Get ready, we're coming for you two next." Terra smiled.
King Cold chuckled, "I'm quaking in my boots. Do you hear that my son? These fools mean to take us down."
Freiza stared them down, "Let them try father." He raised a hand with his pointer finger up, "How is this for a final thought? The warrior who overestimates his abilities has already sealed his fate."
Terra laughed, "You mean like you?"
Freiza did a double take before sneering at her once again, "What was that?!"
"You look like you've seen better days metal face," she continued, "If you were smart you would've stayed home."
"But now that we're here, we are going to do this." Trunks chimed in.
Freiza growled, "Curse your insolent tongue!" He turned to his father, "Daddy this primate requires discipline."
"Nobody talks to my son that way," King Cold spoke, "Go ahead, finish them off."
"Not that you merit the attention, but I'm going to kill both of you myself, you should feel honored."
Trunks stepped in front of Terra, "No you're not. I'm going to cut you down the middle. You're already dead."
Freiza smirked, "I'm already dead? Hm, I assure you I'm very much alive."
Trunks continued, "Make sure to come at me with everything you've got. Cause I don't plan to go easy on you like Goku did."
Freiza's head lifted up, "Oh did that touch a nerve, Lord Freiza?" Terra challenged him.
"What's a Goku?" King Cold replied.
"He's the Super Saiyan. The one we came here to kill." Freiza answered his father, "Oh but of course you and he are in league."
"We've never met the guy, but we're a fan of his work." Trunks replied.
"Are you? Then you will all share his fate." Freiza challenged back
"Remind me? What did you say a minute ago? When you told your men to wipe out all the Earthlings? You said you wanted it all done before the Super Saiyan showed up, right?" Terra narrowed her eyes on Freiza.
"That is what I said. Wipe out humanity. Although finding myself short of minions thanks to you two. I guess I'll have to roll up proverbial sleeves and dish out the carnage personally."
Trunks grinned, "Hm, you don't have enough time."
Freiza shrugged his shoulders, "Really? Clearing out the planet before the Super Saiyan arrives shouldn't take me more than an hour or two."
"Wrong again!" Terra yelled. Freiza's eyes stared her and Trunks down.
"Hey Freiza, want to hear a secret?" Trunks asked, "I happen to know that Goku isn't the only Super Saiyan. Matter of fact you're looking at one, actually two." Both Trunks and Terra smirked at their opponent with a knowing grin.
"WHAT?!" Freiza shrieked. But as he stared both of them down he succumbed to laughter again, "You almost had me there. You two are bluffing in the face of death!" King Cold and Freiza continued to laugh as both Terra and Trunks decided now was the time to show off. Bracing themselves they felt the energy around them swirl and power up, picking up wind and gravel. When the power increase became noticeable, Freiza looked at them with terrified eyes and disbelief.
"No! Not again!" Freiza yelled.
"What's going on?" King Cold asked.
Both Terra and Trunks shouted as their power level increased higher and higher. Their hair flaring up above their heads and the aura around them trembling the Earth and ground they were standing on. Their hair started to change from lavender and ebony to a golden glow and their eyes drifted from their natural blue to a green with a lack of pupils. Freiza tried to back off but was stopped by his father's glare.
"So this is a Super Saiyan, huh?" King Cold observed them.
"It's those eyes!" Freiza stated in fear, "They have the same eyes!"
Terra chuckled, "I have to admit seeing you scared is brightening my day!"
Freiza growled at her, "It looks like you've seen a ghost Freiza." Trunks smirked.
"I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU!" Freiza yelled as he shot a ki blast straight at them destroying most of what was in sight. The rubble and dust flooded his view, Freiza was content he was finally rid of his pests.
"While I applaud you zeal, my child, don't destroy the planet. Not just yet. You'll never have a showdown with this Goku if you uproot the playing field."
"I thought of that father, so I didn't use full…" Freiza stared unbelievably at the two figures still remaining, still alive. There wasn't a scratch on either of them.
Trunks spoke up, "I'm serious, better hit me with everything you've got. Trust me, you're going to need to."
Terra chuckled maniacally, "Now let's get this over with."
Freiza yelled, "No one tells Freiza how to fight! NO ONE!" He prepared an even larger blast and sent it blazing at the two. Trunks stepped in and took the blast full force, handling it as it sent him backwards. He destroyed it with his might, shouting, while the blasts dispersed itself into small volleys of tiny explosions.
He chuckled, "Fine then, don't listen. I just told you exactly what to do if you were to defeat me and her." Terra looked at her brother from afar. Even if Freiza decided to attack her, she would put up the same fight. "C'mon, what part of 'everything you've got' didn't you understand?"
Freiza narrowed his eyes on the pair, "hm, you're in such a hurry to meet your doom? So be it!" He floated up towards the sky while Terra made her way to Trunks with a smile. He returned it back, there's no way he can win against us, Trunks thought to himself. Freiza positioned himself above the two demi Saiyans, a finger pointed in the air as a small ki ball began to form. The ball expanded into a massive size, capable of blowing up the planet. Trunks and Terra merely looked at each other and smiled, it was starting to get interesting.
"Freiza no! The planet cannot handle that!" King Cold yelled.
"HE SAID EVERYTHING! WE WILL FIGHT GOKU IN SPACE!" Freiza shrieked as he desperately threw the large mass towards the pair. They merely stared at their incoming target with no worries as it landed on top of them, looking as though it had crushed them both. Freiza laughed at them, delighting in his victory.
"You've cut through the core!" King Cold yelled, "Freiza! To the ship!"
Freiza lowered himself onto the ship, walking away as if there were no worries but at the last second the blast was being pushed upwards instead of down to planet. Emerging from the bottom was Terra and Trunks, heaving the destructive ki out of the planet's way.
"H-how?" Freiza stated dumbfounded.
Freiza landed on the ground in front of them and snarled, "Will you just DIE!?"
"What's wrong, dear Freiza?" Terra mocked, "Is that all you got?"
Freiza shook with anger as he threw a small ki blast to ignite the larger one in Terra and Trunks' hands. The large force began to react and explode around them, seemingly suffocating them in the final blast. Freiza, seeing no sign of them afterwards, chuckled to himself. The danger was gone. His father joined him on the ground staring at him.
"Excellent work, my son," He spoke, "Those young fools were all bark and no bite." He laughed heartily as his son joined him.
"Ha, it was a nice warm up before the real Super Saiyan arrives."
On a nearby plateau however Trunks and Terra eyed their enemy, nodding to each other when they believed it was time to strike.
"I've got this idiot, Terra. Don't worry." He spoke through her mind.
"Very well, but the other fool is mine to deal with." She stepped aside as Trunks prepared a final blow towards Freiza.
"HEY FREIZA!" he yelled. Freiza turned around in disbelief as Trunks fired an inaccurate shot towards him. It was enough to get Freiza airborne and away from his father leaving him wide open.
"You fool! You missed by a mile!" Freiza shouted, but he was unaware of Trunks' plan and found out too late as Trunks leapt into the air, sword in hand, ready to make the killing blow. He swung it down and, as Trunks had said before, he sliced Freiza in two, right down the middle. His body separated, his insides, or what was left were bare for all to see. King Cold was petrified, speechless as he saw his son split in two. Trunks sliced the rest of Freiza up at the speed of light, reducing the once most feared living being in the universe to pieces of flesh floating in the sky. To finish the job, Trunks sent a large ki blast out to the carcass and disintegrated Freiza's body into nothingness. Spinning his blade, Trunks sheathed it back into its scabbard with a metal click. He stared back at the remaining foe, King Cold, with emotionless eyes. Terra was watching him too, waiting for her moment to strike when she felt energy coming towards them. Glancing in the direction it was coming from she saw a group of individuals making their way towards them. They're not Freiza's men, they must be the fighters mother talked about, Terra thought to herself.
"Trunks lets take this on the ground, I detect movement." She told him in his mind.
"Very well, lets end this." He replied. Both she and Trunks flew down towards the ground near Freiza's spacecraft followed by King Cold as he stared at them with no emotions.
"You're talented, boy," King Cold grinned, "Excellent work. You Super Saiyans far exceed my expectations. You destroyed my son Freiza, and appear none the worse for wear. If you're interested, I seem to find myself short an heir; with your fearless strength you'd make a worthy addition to my clan. Think of it? You'd be a prince, and magnificent worlds; the universe would all be at your disposal."
Trunks stated flatly, "Sounds pretty lame."
King Cold narrowed his eyes on Trunks, "You turn up your nose at my offer? That's a shame." He grinned and placed his hand in front of the pair, "By the way stranger, I'm curious about your sword it must be quite a piece of workmanship. Truly, for how else could you have drawn it through my son with such ease. Might I take a closer look?"
"I call trap." Terra said to Trunks telepathically
"Ditto, but let's have a bit of fun before finishing him off." Trunks smirked
"You mean when I finish him off" Terra crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. Trunks shook his head and faced King Cold again.
He smiled, "Come now, you're not afraid to be without it for moment, are you?" King Cold urged him.
Trunks smirked as he slowly unsheathed the sword tossing it to King Cold. He caught it by the hilt and examined it thoroughly.
Cold snorted, "Just as I thought, this has been forged by a master. I'm thinking that perhaps the only reason you defeated Freiza was because you had this sword in hand." He stared up at Trunks with an evil expression, "That sound about right?"
Trunks just continued smirking, "I don't know, you think so?"
Cold raised the blade in the air, an eerie grin painted on his face, "Yes, it all makes sense now." He grasped the blade with both his hands, "Clearly without this sword in your possession you're nothing." He swung the blade hard and fast at Trunks, "DIE!" he shouted, the blade coming down at an alarming rate when out of nowhere a hand stopped the blade from going any further. King Cold looked down and saw the face of Terra, darkened by hatred. She flared up her power and a golden aura circled around her; she pushed Cold back with a wicked grin and a devious chuckle.
"Well you're wrong but I guess you figured that out. My partner here doesn't take to kindly to those who threaten my life, she won't spare you any mercy." Trunks grinned.
Terra raised her other hand to King Cold's chest, a smile crossed her lips and her eyes glimmering in the thrill of the kill.
"Wait you dirty little Saiyaghhhhhh!" Terra blasted a hole straight through his chest sending him backwards into a cliff. His body falling all the way down with a trail of blood to follow; the sword remained in Terra's hand as she stared down her enemy with fury.
"Please spare me!" He pleaded, Terra remained emotionless, "Mercy! I surrender! If you let me go, I'll give you one of my finest planets!" She smiled as she prepared another blast, "No wait! I'll give you an entire solar system! I'll change my wicked ways! I'll give you my word."
Terra shook her head and chuckled darkly, "You're boring me." She sent a large blast towards King Cold as he screamed in terror and was annihilated by the blast. Trunks took this time to blow up the spacecraft they appeared in as well, blowing the engine and then the ship. The explosion was large as dust and smoke unraveled all around them. As the dust settled, Terra handed back Trunks' sword with a genuine smile, "I believe this is yours."
He chuckled as he swung the blade back into the scabbard, "You're scary when you do that."
Terra giggled, "What else am I supposed to do? He didn't offer me nice things like planets at the beginning. I might have taken him up on some of them."
"You're a terrible liar." Trunks powered down from Super Saiyan mode as his lavender locks reappeared. Terra did the same, from a golden glow to an ebony shade, she was back to normal and she patted her brother on the back. Looking up she was surprised to see a group of people flying in the air near them. She nudged Trunks and motioned her head towards them. When he turned around he stared at them for a couple of moments and then towards Terra.
"Yep, that's them, could sense them after I sliced up Freiza."
"Well don't want to keep them waiting now do we?" Terra smiled.
Trunks grinned at the paralyzed group of fighters, "Hey I'm heading over to where Goku's gonna land in a bit. You guys can come if you want to."
A collective gasp of shock and disbelief fell over the crew of fighters. Sensing their doubt Terra stepped in.
"Yeah he's not lying, you can follow us if you want, or you can remain here and just watch the dust on the battlefield." Terra snorted.
A young boy of the group spoke up, "Where he'll land? How come this guy knows about my dad?"
Ah Gohan, it's been a while, Terra thought to herself, I remember you being strict an a lot older.
"This way," Trunks pointed out, "Yeah I can pretty much tell you exactly where he's gonna touch down." A silence fell over the crowd, Trunks decided to continue, "So anyway Goku will be here in about three hours from now, let's get a move on!" Trunks turned into the direction of the predicted location, as he took off. Terra followed closely behind, hoping the others would follow suit. It seemed they didn't want to follow but after a few moments she saw them trailing behind.
"Looks like we've got visitors, Trunks." She spoke to him
"Good, I'd like to meet them before we get into the thick of things." Trunks smiled as they flew off into the distance.
And done! I tried my best to write the fight scenes, I'm not the best at it. But I hoped you liked it and remember to Read an Review!
