Rebel Spirits at Orange Star High Prologue: The Beginning of the End
It was the beginning of the end for Future Cell and his plan for ruining the past. Future Trunks was well on his way to fight Cell until he was dead. As they both fought on, Cell decided to escape to a cave to hide - but Trunks was not going to let him go. Faster than the speed of light, Trunks followed Cell into the blackness of the cave, his aura glowing to light his path. The cave itself could not take the awesome power of super saiyan Trunks, for just from him flying in the cave it began to crumble and tremble. Stalagmites broke the instant Trunks passed them, and the deeper Trunks followed Cell into the cave, the harder it was for the cave to keep stable. Trunks took a left from the caves corridors and finally reached Cell who was now trapped in a cold corner with him.
"Enough of trying to hide Cell! It's over!" Shouted Trunks with fury, his hands now out together facing Cell and forming a large ki blast.
"No, Trunks - this is only the beginning of the end for you!" Cell lashed back, now forming a Kamehameha blast.
Their ki blasts lit up the entire left section of the cave, but Trunks' ki blast was brighter and stronger than Cell's. This caught Cell off guard but as he was about to launch his Kamehameha off, Trunks was quicker of the two and launched his first. The blinding light was too much for Cell and in an instant he was eliminated from the face of the Earth. As a consequence though, the entire cave was destroyed as well - leaving the space where the cave once was flat and filled with nothing but rubble. Trunks took some time to finally breathe in peace, allowing the fog and dust in the air to settle before he would depart to home. He stood there in silence, wondering if he really did defeat Cell. He could no longer feel his energy, which was a good sign to him. Confirming to himself with a head nod that Cell was gone, he said out loud to himself,
"It's over. It's….it's finally over. Thanks to you father, and to you Gohan, and especially to you Goku - you're the greatest." And at that, Trunks felt free once again - talking this chance to fly home without any fear hanging over his shoulders.
When he made it home, he opened the front door and stood there smiling at his mother who was in the living room. It took her a moment to realize why Trunks was standing there, smiling, but when it hit her she sprang to her feet and ran to her son. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and gave him a tight, joyous hug. She did not say anything at all to him, for her tears of joy were enough to let him know how she felt. What felt like an eternity was only fifteen seconds, as Bulma let go of her son and brought him inside, gently closing the door behind him. They enjoyed the rest of their afternoon together with eating dinner. As Trunks explained everything after they has finished their meal.
"And so you are one hundred percent sure that Cell is gone?" Bulma asked Trunks, her hands folded on her lap.
"Yes, mother. It's finally all over now for us, for everyone. The androids are gone, Cell is gone, and we are finally at peace once again." He replied firmly, which in response Bulma let out a deep sigh of relief and relaxed now.
"Well then, Trunks, I guess you deserve a good night's rest! Get to sleep, Trunks." She stands up from her chair, walked to Trunks and gave him a family kiss on the forehead.
"Awww, moooom." He moaned while slightly blushing in embarrassment, then proceeded to standing up and heading to his room. He walked to his room happily, because he thought on how he can finally sleep at night in peace and quiet.
That night while Trunks was asleep, he kept on tossing and turning in bed from a dream he was having.
Or, more likely, because of a nightmare.
Trunks was having a nightmare of his final battle with Cell in the cave. He saw himself flying at top speed across the surface of the cave, only the view was distorted and somewhat hard to make out. The faster Trunks got, the more the cave echoed a dark, heavy spiritual voice from the darkest depths of it. Trunks then saw that he passed a smaller cave inside the cave, which withheld ancient Egyptian valuables and items. The items that he saw were the Millennium Puzzle and the Millennium Ring, both together on top of countless Egyptian jewels and valuables. He then saw the part when he destroyed Cell, and immediately was switched to see the Millennium items being vaporized from the ki blast's power. Once that was over, Trunks saw something, or someone, that was not there when he killed Cell. He saw Yami Bakura and Yami both with a dark violet aura around them, holding their Millennium items around their necks. They looked very disturbed as they were three feet behind Trunks...
... and their disturbed faces turned cold and angry as they watched Trunks fly off to home. They then both faded away, their violet aura leaving in a whisp slowly.
What really threw Trunks off is when he saw the front of Orange Star High, and in first person he saw the doors open and he entered them. He was moving as if he were a ghost, passing through the students who were frozen in time, until he reached the very end of the hallway to find Yami and Bakura with their friends. However, as Joey, Tea, and Tristan were smiling, Yami and Bakura had dark, bitter expressions. And to top it all off, Trunks then saw the world fade to black and in to see the other timeline, the past, in total complete chaos. The sky was a dark grey, the city was burning, and there were monsters everywhere in Hercule City. People were being eaten by these monsters and tortured in many ways from them - there was destruction and death everywhere. And it wasn't just in Hercule City that these monsters wrecked havoc, they were all around the world causing pain and fear for people of all cultures and places. And finally...
...he saw all the Z-Fighters dead and burning in the city, as well as his young self, his mother, and his father.
Trunks could no longer handle it all, so he woke up and screamed at the top of his lungs. His heart was pounding so loud he could hear it thumping in his ears and at his chest. His mother immediately ran to his room, frantically asking him what was wrong. He calmed down a bit, sat up, then looked up at his mother. She asked again what was wrong, and Trunks whispered to her,
"I...I had a nightmare. A really, really horrifying nightmare."
"What was it about?! Was it about Cell?"
"Not...not entirely."
"Well tell me, Trunks, I have to know!" She said with stress, which Trunks then explained to her everything he saw in his nightmare. She didn't know what to say, but Trunks did.
"Mom, I think that wasn't a nightmare - I think that was a vision of what is going to happen in the past."
"But Trunks, there's no way that it could happen! The possibilities of your nightmare being true are-"
"I'm going to the past, mom!" Shouted Trunks as he sprang out of bed and began putting on his normal outfit. Bulma was appalled by his choice of action to the situation, and immediately refused with a harsh,
"No Trunks! There is no need to go if nothing is wrong!"
"I have to, mother! I can't just lay here in bed when the others may be in danger!"
"Trunks, I won't let you go if there is no need to go!" So as she was going to grab his arm, he quickly grabbed his sword and ran out of the room. She followed him, but by the time she made it outside where the time machine is kept, he was already taking off in the time machine and she was too late. In an instant Trunks was gone and off to the past to see Gohan and his family.
When Trunks had arrived to the past, he was surprised to see that it was nighttime as well, only for the Son family they were about to have dinner together. He put the time machine back into its capsule where it would be charging for the next trip. He took a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. He proceeded to knocking on the front door and waited for someone to open it. The night was cool and quiet, much like how the night was at his house before he went to bed. The door was opened by Goten, so Trunks was confused as to who opened the door. He looked down and saw Goten standing there, looking up at him.
"You look alot like my friend Trunks" He stated. "Are you his older brother?" He asked.
"Uhhh, why yes, yes I am Trunks' older brother." Awkwardly replied Trunks. He had completely forgot that Bulma had Trunks and he was a young kid by now. He hoped to God that his younger self was not staying over at the Son's place right now. And so they both heard from the inside of the house,
"Goten! Who is at the door?" And when Trunks heard Gohan's voice, he let himself in and walked to them all at the dinner table. Goten by then closed the front door and ran to his seat and continued eating. The moment Gohan saw Trunks he stood up from his chair and said loudly,
"Trunks? Trunks!" He ran over to Trunks and gave him a hug, which caught Trunks off guard. Chi-chi was just as surprised as Gohan, but decided to let Gohan do the asking.
"Thank heavens that you are alive! How's life like in the other timeline? Are the androids and Cell defeated? Is the world better now?"
"Woah-woah, Gohan - slow down. I can only answer so many questions at once." And so Trunks sat down with them all and explained how he defeated the androids and Cell, as well as the strange nightmare, or vision, he had.
"And that's why I am here right now, Gohan." Stated Trunks briefly. " I had to see if everything was okay, because I had just defeated Cell and then I see this vision - I just had to see you guys were okay."
"Yeah," Gohan said slowly, "we are doing okay. To be honest, there has been peace for along time now. If what you are saying is a prediction of the future, second semester of my senior year is about to start next week. Maybe the group of teenagers you saw in your vision will be attending Orange Star High this semester."
"That is a possibility," replied Trunks."and if that's the case, then in order for me to keep tabs on these new students, I'm going to have to pose the role of a new student."
"What? Trunks, that's a little on the crazy side, don't you think?" Gohan said with surprisement.
"If it's what I have to do in order to prevent anything bad from happening, I will." And with that Trunks said his goodbyes to them, and he went off to see the Briefs family, his family. His parents were surprised to see him again, and Bulma was happy to let him stay in a separate room where little Trunks was not allowed to be. Vegeta was surprised by what his son explained about the dream, and almost called it just a stupid nightmare, but he remembered what price his son paid when Cell shot a laser through his body. So Trunks went right to bed after that, thinking about what he must do first in order to stop those monsters from destroying the world. But the more he thought on it, the more entangled and strangled he became with his thoughts, and gave up altogether on thinking of a plan. As he laid in bed that night, the only thing he knew was that the two boys with Egyptian jewelry were the most suspicious of the new students from his vision.
He was determined to find out more about these students when school would start again...
...but what Trunks didn't know was that the two suspicious boys were rebel spirits.
