DRAGONBALL:NIGHTMARE SAGA


Chapter 3


I wasn't aware that I had fainted until I woke up in a raggedy bed in a cave like room. Some roots were sticking through the ceiling, which seemed to be made of tightly packed

dirt. There was the smell of moisture, and it was rather cold in this room. The next thing that caught my attention was that my wounds had been bandaged.

I moved to stand when suddenly a voice said "Its been quite some time, David," I looked up to see Trunks there, only he was different. He had a scar running down

his right cheek, and his left eye had an eye-patch over it. He had a hard, cold, look in his eyes, and the power I felt from him was nearly three times higher than in my time.

"Trunks, you look, different," I replied, unable to think of something else to say.

"Alots happened, though I am suprised. You seem no older or different than you did all those years ago," He told me.

"Time travel does that to you," I muttered.

His eye widened slightly as he asked "Time travel?" So I explained the events leading up to how I had gotten here. He nodded as he said "Yeah, I remember that. But

you didn't dissapear like you say, you beat the guy and then Vegeta interrogated him, turns out he was sent by his master to capture you though he would not say anything else. Never heard anything else on the subject,"

"Well, I was sent forward in time I can promise you that, but what all happened here, and what was that thing?" I asked.

"That was a creature Vegeta called Malakar, which is the saiyan word for demon. It arrived about six months after your fight in the lab, it started randomly destroying

everything, you went to fight it on the third night, before that we were all trying to gather in one place. It killed you, and over the next few months the others all fell until it was just Pan, and me. Since then we have been fighting it where we can, but we simply don't have the strength. Its been eleven years since it arrived," Trunks said.

For several moments I just sat there, trying to process this information.

Trunks offered a smile that seemed frail as he said "Look, I've given you a lot to think about and I have work to do. I'll talk to you later," That said he left the room.

After awhile Pan walked in looking tired, but she also looked happy. "Hey, Trunks told me about your talk. He thinks you may be from an alternate timeline," Pan said.

"Nice way to start a conversation," I said standing.

"Sorry, I'm just not used to talking with anyone but Trunks anymore," Her smile faded at that.

"I'd ask how you've been, but I think I know the anwser," I said.

"Yeah, not many people left, just a few hundred. And all of them live here in this mountain," She said.

"A mountain huh?" I asked.

"Yup, Uub made it as a shelter after Vegeta died, I think he knew the hard time were ahead. That was just before he fought it you know," Pan replied.

"Yeah, after him it was just us, and now your here, though I'm sure you don't want to be," Pan said.

I considered that. No, I did not want to be here, but at the same time I now felt like I needed to be here. "Doesn't matter, I'm here and thats that,"

She suddenly hugged me then as she broke into sobs, I comforted her and wondered what sort of nightmare I had fallen into.
