Chapter 1: Attack

"Is everyone clear on the plan?" the leader of the large group of men standing in the room asked quietly; looking around at the various faces of his men.

Many murmurs of agreement were heard throughout the room and the leader smirked. "Good. Get your weapons ready now, we're leaving."

As they were about to depart, a small voice spoke up; belonging to a trembling beefy man. "Wha-What about the prophecy? Ba-Baba said the attack mu-mustn't be done on a fu-"

"Forget about what that witch says! We're leaving now! I won't let that bastard Gohan win!" the furious leader hissed. Realising his temper was getting the best of him too early, he composed himself and asked, "Now, Burter, are you with us or not?"

The large blue man hesitated. Still trembling, he shook his head, "I do-don't think I should hav-" His heavy body dropped to the floor as blood poured out of his shocked mouth.

"I have no time for cowards. Anyone who wishes to join him, speak up" he sneered, looking around once again.
There was no reply.

"Then let's go."

And the crowd of men piled out of the murky room and into the giant aircraft, being led by a smirking Trunks.
It was time.

"She's not amongst any of the bodies, Sire."

Trunks narrowed his eyes slightly and walked up to his soldier. "So she just disappeared? Out of thin air?" he inquired in an eerily calm voice, his face now unreadable.

Sensing the Prince's growing temper, Gero stepped forward and placed a hand on Trunk's shoulder. "Let's return to Planet Vegeta, Sire. Soldiers from neighbouring countries will be arriving soon; they're all allies. We don't want to start an even bigger war."

Trunks pinched the bridge of his nose and nodded. He turned and started walking towards the aircraft when the face of Son Gohan flashed through his mind.

Swallowing his fury, he stopped and looked back at his followers.

"Mark my words, men. If I don't find Videl Satan soon – dead or alive - each and every one of you will pay."

Let me know what you think?

I can assure you that future chapters will definitely be longer. ^_^
