"We're here." Trunks breathes out in amazement when the dome opens up above the two. They scramble out, a bit stiff. "You sure?" 21 questions, gazing around the empty planes around them. Trunks nods, looking around as well. "I'm sure of it. I can feel their presence scattered across the earth." he states, referring to the warriors that were killed by 17 and 18 in their time. 21, never having felt their ki before besides Gohan's, shrugs, trusting Trunks' judgement.
"And I suppose that's the Frieza alien you were talking about?" 21 wonders, casting her eyes upwards to the sky as she feels a certain ki approaching. Trunks follows her view, but sees nothing yet, though he can feel it. "I suppose so. Won't be too difficult to defeat. Do you want the honors?" he asks, turning back to her as he smiles confidently.
"Nah. You can have him. I'm just here to watch." she smirks, making him huff playfully in indignation. "So you're going to make me do all the hard work huh?" She flashes him a peace sign, winking. "That's the general idea." she admits. "Nice." Trunks mutters sarcastically, but 21 can tell he doesn't really care.
"Hey, I was thinking…" he starts just as they are about to fly off to where this 'Frieza' will land. "Since we're here to warn them about androids, perhaps… well… maybe it would be better if you used your human name should it come up. What do you think?" he wonders unsurely.
21 thinks it over, not too thrilled, but seeing his logic, she finally shrugs. "I suppose you have a point. Julliet it is then, for now." she sighs, making Trunks smile. He admitted to her once that he really liked the name. Somehow, that made it a little easier to use, despite all the bad feelings it gives her otherwise.
She glances where her robotic arm is hidden beneath the long sleeve of her shirt and the blown leather glove, frowning down at it until Trunks grabs her arm, snapping her out of her reverie. He knows she has a hard time accepting what she is. Even after a few years time to get used to it.
"He's almost here and the others are on their way. You ready for this?" he asks. She nods, managing a smile. At least Trunks doesn't care about what she is. It's that knowledge that she holds onto when it starts to get to her. She truly believes that if it wasn't for him, she would have attempted to destroy herself. She can't help wonder what he would think of that if he knew.
Shaking off that thought quickly, she follows after Trunks, ready to meet a villain head on. She smirks. He won't know what hit him.
From a slight distance, the two of them watch as Frieza disembarks along with some foot soldiers and an alien looking similar to him, but bigger is size. "Besides you and Gohan, I admit I've never seen anything partially alien before and the two of you hardly look the part if you know what I mean. It's quite odd to see something that is obviously out of this world." 21 tells Trunks quietly, looking interested. Trunks nods in understanding. "I'd think you'll be amazed when you'll get to see piccolo then." he states.
Waiting for the moment the invader are about to make their move, Trunks unseats his sword before diving in. 21 follows at a leisure pace and watches as he as he quickly gets rid of some of the underlings that Frieza just set out to find the warriors that are approaching. At least 21 believes they are still coming. She can't really sense them. Maybe they are keeping a low profile just like Trunks is. She herself doesn't have to go through the effort. Her energy signal is as undetectable as any random human.
Trunks lands right before the creature that was supposedly feared so much by any that encountered him before, but as 21 stops to stand a little behind Trunks, she can't say to share the sentiment. She is pretty sure she can destroy him herself if need be, but Trunks is more than capable of taking care of him.
For a moment there is only silence as each side scrutinizes the other. "So you must be Frieza." Trunks states more than questions, already knowing the answer. "I've been waiting a long time to meet you face to face."
"Well, we have guests." the larger Frieza-like creature states, looking at the two new arrivals with curiosity. "Now, I'm going to destroy you." Trunks adds finally to the surprise of them both.
Frieza's surprise quickly turns to amusement. "Oh. We'd better run, isn't that right father?" he asks the taller one standing just behind him before chuckling. "You don't know what you're up against boy." he warns Trunks.
"I know exactly what I'm up against Frieza. Let me tell you; I'm. not. worried." Trunks smirks, once more taking Frieza aback. "Make no mistake. I'm going to finish you once and for all." he tells Frieza with confidence.
"Well, you certainly are an arrogant little thing. And maybe from whatever hole you just crawled out off, you're pretty though, but you're no match for me. Really, fighting a pitiful punk like you isn't even worth my time." Frieza talks smack back, making 21 laugh to herself.
"And what are you giggling about little girl? You'd do better to worry about you're little friend here. You'll be scraping his ashes off the flour if he keeps up this attitude." Frieza addresses her.
21 settles with a knowing smile. "I just thought it will be so funny when you eat those words. You are done for, the sooner you come to terms with it, the better." she simply retorts, shrugging before glancing around the place. This nearly feels like a different Earth without the continuous scent of death in the air.
Frieza trembles with anger for a moment from being made fun off and than ignored. Did they think so lightly of him? But he settles down, forgiving them for their ignorance. He has better things to do.
"Enough idle talk. Foot soldier!" he orders, alerting a green skinned creature with fin-like protrusion front the top of its head. Vaporize these little…rodents." he orders, stepping aside to watch his soldier do his work. "The rest of you, spread out!" he calls watching his men surround the two before him. Soon he'll be rid of them and he can go back to business.
"I think it's only fair that I should warn you guys." Trunks starts as they prepare an attempt to destroy them. "You don't stand a chance against us." The green man aims a weapon at them before pulling the trigger, sending out an energy blast right at Trunks, who knocks it away with the back of his hand with ease.
"If I could yawn, I'd do just that." 21 mutters, stuffing her hands in her pockets as she watches the shocked faces. Trunks smirks before blocking a few more blasts that are fired rather haphazardly.
Finally Trunks seems to have had enough of the mockery and rushes forward and in no time, all Frieza's goons are downed by him except for one who Frieza killed himself after trying to run.
"I must admit, I'm impressed." Frieza says calmly. "What a pleasant surprise." Frieza's father muses. "You're right father. This may prove to be a bit more amusing then I'd have thought." "And now, you two are going down." Trunks states, ignoring their talk as he looks at them, his features serious.
"Let me give you a piece of advice kid. He who acquires his skills quickly, is he who is the first to parish." Frieza says, wagging his finger at Trunks. 21 scoffs. If only he knew how much it took for Trunks to become what he is now, not nearly being satisfied with his search for power. Not as long as 17 and 18 wonder the streets.
Trunks smirks, unfazed. "Thanks for the tip." he states, angering Frieza for mocking him. "Listen up!" Trunks starts, before Frieza can start up a rant. "Now I've got one for you Frieza: Know your enemy. You've already got some pretty big assumptions about me and that's a mistake that's going to cost you dearly." he warns.
"You insolent brat!" Frieza growls. "You should really learn to control your tongue." His father sighs boredly. "Just destroy him already. We haven't got all day." "Really father, have some patience. I'm just trying to have a little fun if you don't mind." Frieza nearly pouts.
21 glances at Trunks, catching his eye for a moment. He nods receiving the message loud and clear. It's time to wrap up here.
"He's right though." Trunks tells Frieza, looking back towards the alien. "You really don't have all day. More like five minutes." he concludes, setting the time. "Oh that's too bad." Frieza smiles. "And here I made dinner plans." "So I heard. Well sorry Frieza, but I'm cancelling your date with Goku." Trunks reveals, catching the two off guard with his knowledge.
"So I take it you know that worthless Saiyan?" Frieza questions. "By reputation, but we'll meet soon." Trunks admits. "Oh? Don't be so certain." Frieza says, a sound of warning in his voice.
Trunks remains undeterred. "Oh I couldn't be more certain Frieza. Anytime now, Goku will be coming home, and only my friend and I will be here waiting for him. Get it?" he threatens.
"Definitely. I was just about to suggest something similar. It's so nice that we can finally agree on something don't you think?" Frieza smiles cruelly. He is met my Trunks' confidence one. "For once you're right." "Well, I guess all that leaves me is to decide how I'm going to annihilate you two." Frieza muses, only to be interrupted.
"Enough kidding around! It's time you understood who I really am. So I'll tell you what; I'm going to let the two of you in on a little secret. You're about to find out what's it like to fight a real Super Saiyan. And I'm not talking about Goku." Trunks finishes, shocking the duo once more with his bold statements.
Getting over the initial shock, Frieza starts to laugh. 21 believes it's his way of hiding the fear that is starting to build in the alien's mind. Goku was the only one to ever defeat him while being a Super Saiyan from what she heard. It must have left a mark. Not just physically that is.
While he's still snickering along with his father, Trunks takes his chance to power up, quickly shutting Frieza up. "No! It can't be." Frieza states horrified as Trunks' power skyrockets. His eyes slowly turn a teal color and his hair golden, laying out the truth before Frieza, who is stunned into silence as his memories take him back. "It's those eyes…" he struggles to get out. "They have the same eyes."
"Is it something I said?" Trunks mocks, smirking at the obviously frightened Frieza. "No! Saiyan!" Frieza shouts before launching a desperate blast at the teen before him.
The area where Trunks was is left in flames and dust. "I would say that was all rather anti-climactic. Wouldn't you?" Frieza's father asks him as 21 clears her throat, catching their attention.
Frieza smirks, feeling once again confident, thinking he took Trunks out. "What is it? Are you feeling left behind? Why don't you go and join your little monkey friend in the after life?" he chuckles, raising a finger to try and take her out.
"Oh no." 21 states, feigning innocence. "I was merely trying to alert you on the fact that my friend isn't quite done with you yet." she states, pointing at the area where Trunks was and now that Frieza turns around, he can see is still standing there unfazed. Once again the fear kicks in.
"I really hope that's not the best you can do. Because if it is, you'd best give up now. You can't win Frieza." Trunks calls out over the blaze. "We'll just see about that boy!" Frieza shouts out before summoning a more powerful blast, one that even surprises his father.
Trunks catches the blast, sliding back from the force but no harm comes to him as he breaks it up, making many weaker blasts fly through the air like meteors. It's a good thing their in the middle of nowhere.
Trunks smirks, waiting it out a little longer as he actually finds it funny how desperate Frieza is. Plus, he's got time to spare. He ignores 21's look of slight irritation and boredom at his stalling. Folding her arms, she stalks to a comfy looking rock, crashing down on it. "Must be a guy thing." she mutters to herself.
