Saiyan and A Half

Chapter Seven The Past is the Past

*I do not own Dragonball, Dragonball Z, or Dragonball GT*

*Okay, so in this chapter it's going to be mostly flashbacks from both Trunks and Sage Points of View. Sorry if you don't really like the flashback ideas, but this is just to let you know their story.*

Sage watched Trunks until he turned his head. Then she jerked her head back and leaned it against the wall, closing her eyes again. She was tired, but not so much from her fight. She hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days. She knew why, but she didn't want Bulma or Trunks to question her. It was too painful to explain to them. The only one who had figured the whole story out was Gohan. Sage sighed quietly and let sleep overtake her body, though her mind stayed active remembering the past.

Trunks looked at Sage. He knew something was wrong with her, but he couldn't quite place it. Since he had known her she had always acted weird around this time of the year. Trunks leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes too, folding his arms over his chest. He remembered the first time he had seen her.

~ Flashback~

Trunks again kicked at Gohan's punch to deflect it. Gohan pushed up forcing him to do a flip in the air. Not being good at countering this he fell hard onto his shoulder and back. He panted and smiled slightly at Gohan who offered him a hand up. "You're getting good Trunks, you just need to work on that counter." Trunks stood and smiled, brushing himself off. He froze when he looked behind Gohan though, that's when their evil chuckling started. Gohan zipped around but he was too late to see them, he was kicked high into the air. Android 17 darted towards the young teenager, kicking him in the same direction his mentor had gone. The air exited Trunks' lungs and didn't seem to want to go back in. When the air got back into his lungs he saw the androids take off in the direction of the remnants of West City, where his Mom was preparing lunch for the two hungry half saiyans. "No! Gohan they're going towards West City!" Trunks exclaimed.

"Oh no!" Gohan said trying to stand, but he winced and grabbed his ribs. That's when Trunks noticed his aching ribs too. That's where 17 and kicked them, and with his power Trunks was surprised that he hadn't kicked a hole right through him. The two of them stumbled until they got enough power back to launch into the air. But it was too late; they could hear the screams coming from the city. Trunks knew that they wouldn't be able to fend off the androids this time, even though Gohan could turn super saiyan; they both had burned up so much energy training. The warriors flew into the city and saw the blasts zooming through the air. The androids seemed to have only one target though, usually they just blasted everything until they got bored.

Trunks was so shocked at what he saw that he almost fell out of the sky. A young girl, even younger than him, was fending off the two androids so the innocent people could run off. She was incredible; Long black hair pulled into a high cheerleader looking ponytail, shorts that hung loosely on her hips and thighs, a black shirt that was snug to her figure but had long loose sleeves, and black flat boots that went all the way up to her knees. Even though her outfit wasn't very feminine, she looked extremely beautiful. Gohan was also shocked. Just her speed alone was incredible, he couldn't imagine how strong she must be.

"Wher-Where did she come from?" Trunks stuttered in a disbelieved whisper.

Gohan could only shrug.

~ Sage's POV~

Sage could see the two boys just floating in the air watching in awe. She dodged a kick from 17 and countered it by doing a flip in the air and letting her foot connect with his cheek while sending a blast at 18. She took out all her rage and frustration at these two. They had taken away the only person that had ever even seen her, and known of her. Her only friend, her only real family. 18 dodged her blast as expected, but through the smoke Sage's foot met with the girl's face and sent her flying into a building. What Sage wasn't expecting was 17's blast shooting right into her back.

~ Trunks POV~

He gasped with Gohan as the large blast hit the small girl. "Oh, no!" Trunks shrieked. But she surprised both of them, with a strange attack transformation like super saiyan, but really nothing like it at all.

"I don't believe it." Gohan gasped. The once small fragile looking girl, had turned into a gigantic monkey.

Trunks looked in awe at her, "That can't be possible."

Gohan shook his head in disagreement, "Yes it can Trunks." But he didn't explain more. This girl was a Saiyan, he wasn't sure if she was just half saiyan though, like him and Trunks.

The two of them watched as the young girl took every hit, but hit back ten times harder each time against the androids. Finally after maybe an hour, the two androids decided it wasn't worth it, and left.

~ Sage's POV~

Sage smiled inwardly as the androids left. No one had gotten too hurt, besides herself. As she shrunk from her transformation her wounds showed clearly. Since Mr. Popo had made her clothes all from a really stretchy material they didn't rip when she turned, even though he had never seen her do it, it was just a precaution. She dropped her knees and fell flat forward feeling the darkness overcome her.

~Trunks' POV~

Trunks was the first to her. Man, she was even more beautiful up close, when her eyes were closed and she didn't really have an expression. "Come on Trunks, we need to get her to your Mom, she's taken quite the beating." Trunks nodded and scooped her up, marveling at how light she was. She barely had any muscle at all.

~End Flashback~

Trunks opened his eyes and looked over at Sage. Her breathing was soft, she was asleep. He smiled, and muted the time machine's timer. He kept an eye on her as the time machine traveled through time and space. He gently picked her up and carried her out of the time machine. He turned the machine into capsule form while still holding the light fifteen year old. Then he carried her inside and laid her on her bed, covering her with a blanket. He smiled at her once last time before closing her door.
