Umm whoops I guess it's been a long time…Things have been rather busy for me since I last updated, I finished school, got married and a whole bunch of other grown up things that have consumed my time. And I do deeply apologize it has taken me this long to update. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee when I will be able to update next but I promise it won't be as long as this!
Onwards with the chapter.

Chapter 11: Revelations
"How….do you know that?" she said shocked.
"Oh I have my ways…" he smirked as he got back into fighting stance.
Reilena stood their…not knowing what to do…not knowing what to say.
How does he know that…I never told him I was part Saiyan…unless somehow….
Reilena stood their in the ring for a few seconds contemplating everything he had said to her and then started to walk away.
"Hey where do you think you are going?" Damien said aggravated.
"Uh…if you don't mind me asking…where are you going?" the announcer said nervously.
"I can't fight him…I forfeit…" she said as she walked towards the stairs that led off the rind.
"What you can't do that!" the announcer yelled.
"Yes I can…" she said as she continued to walk away.
"What did she just say forfeit?" Gohan said shocked.
"That's not like her…she would never do that…" Trunks said in shock.
"She's a smart girl…she knows she can't win…" Goku said with a serious tone.
"What but dad...Rei has been keeping up with her training…how can that be?" Gohan said confused.
"He is not his true self…" Piccolo said from the back…taking his attention off of Shin for a moment.
"What…what do you mean not his true self…is this…?" Trunks began looking towards his father.
Vegeta slightly nodded his head acknowledging that he knew there was something up.
"He is much stronger than he looks…he's been masking it…" Goku said.
Trunks turned his attention back towards the ring why am I not surprised?
"What Viri is that true my sister is forfeiting?" Goten said shocked and slightly upset.
"Yeah that's what I heard the announcer say…" Viri said looking out from up top.
"What no way I don't believe you…let me on top I want to see!" Goten yelled as he tried to wrestle his way to the top.
"What no way Goten I told you I'm on top!" Viri yelled as the two struggled.
"WHAT WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT? SHE KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT SHE PLACES IN THE TOP FIVE! DOES SHE NOT CARE ABOUT HER FUTURE?" Chichi yelled as Videl and Yamcha tried holding her back.
"Chichi I will admit that this is out of character for her but you have to calm down…" Videl pleaded.
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" she yelled.
"Chichi now I am sure Reilena will have a good explanation for this…" Yamcha said trying to hold her back.
"She never has a good explanation for anything!" Chichi said as she continued to yell.
"You can't forfeit!" Damien yelled at her.
"Yes I can…and I just did…" She said as she continued to walk away.
"Oh no you can't…" Damien smirked as he grabbed her arm.
Reilena swung around and looked at him strait in the eyes "what is this all about…why are you like this…I am not an idiot…you…you aren't yourself!"
Damien smirked "smart girl…you heard me before though no need in repeating myself."
"What are you talking about?" Reilena said confused.
Damien sighed "like I said before…you have quite the unfair advantage…I mean based on your lineage and all…even your mother's side of the family has quite the fighter's history. It would be unfair if I were to fight you in the condition I was in a few weeks ago…"
Reilena looked at him shocked "how…how do you know all this…I never once shared any of my family history with you…"
"Boy you are hard of hearing today…that information is for me to know…" he smirked still holding on to her.
Reilena shook her head and started to try and break from him again "let me go Damien….I forfeited this is over…you can advance now isn't that what you wanted? To beat me?"
Damien yanked her towards him and then leaned in towards her ear to whisper "is that what you think I wanted?"
"He's not letting her go…" Trunks yelled as he went to go out to the stadium and help her.
Reilena turned around to see Trunks trying to make his way out to the arena.
"Oh I don't think your little Trunks will be able to help you…but just incase…" Damien said as he let go of her for a second and sent an energy blast that turned into a blockade so the others couldn't leave the back area.
Trunks and the others jumped back as the blast hit blocking them in.
"That bastard!" Trunks yelled as he looked out.
"I thought that you said she had everything under control?" Gohan yelled at him frustrated.
"I did, but I guess not…" Trunks said worried.
"What is this all about?" Goku said concerned.
"I'm not sure…but I have a feeling…" Trunks began.
Reilena turned back to face him "what the hell is this all about? What do you want from me, tell me!"
Damien huffed "how dare you yell at me! This isn't about me…it's about you!"
Reilena looked at him for a moment confused "what do you mean it's about me? You're the one holding me hostage here in the arena!"
"Are you really that clueless…or is it that you are just in denial?" Damien said to her.
"What would I have to be in denial about?" Reilena huffed.
"Hey, what's going on here…are you two going to fight or not…because if you aren't I really need you to…" the announcer began nervously.
"But out old man!" Damien yelled knocking the microphone out of his hands and the announcer back out of the arena.
Damien smirked as he looked down to see the microphone and picked it up and began to speak "Rei I know everything there is to know about you…all your lies…all your secrets…every…single…one of them…"
"What are you talking about?" she said acting like she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Don't give me that Saiyan you know exactly what I'm talking about…like how you really don't live in West City…you live at home in the 439 Mountain Area…Mt. Paouz to be exact with your mother and little brother…the Capsule Corp is just a cover up so people don't think that you are weird because you 'commute' in everyday. What about the part where you are half alien?"
"Damien stop this…this is ridicules…can't we settle whatever grudge you have with me out of the arena?" Reilena pleaded.
"There are other things as well…how about the fact that you were witness to some of the greatest battles on the planet…how you and Trunks were there for everyone of them…makes sense how you two are so close and all…I mean he's a half breed as well…you two were even there at the Cell Games weren't you…" Damien lectured.
"How…could you know all this…" she said quietly.
"How about your father…you don't live with him anymore why is that?" Damien smirked.
"My father is none of your business…no one in my family is of any concern to you leave them out." Reilena yelled at him.
Damien smirked "that's because he's dead…he died fighting Cell…but it wasn't the way that you told me was it?"
Reilena was silent as she gave him a cold stare.
"That's what I thought…he died during the Cell Games didn't he…something that you have carried with you these past nine years…why is that?" Damien said confidently.
Reilena again said nothing to him as she stared at him.
"Well maybe I need to break out the visuals…maybe you remember a night a few weeks ago…where you and Trunks went to a party…" Damien said as he circled her.
Reilena snapped out of her stare and growled "this is what it's about isn't it? The fact that I embarrassed you at the party…"
Damien smirked "bingo…and that's why now…in front of all these wonderful people…I am going to return the favor…"
"Trunks what the hell is he talking about…what happened at the party?" Gohan said to him gritting his teeth.
"I…don't know…I mean…err…" Trunks said stuttering.
"Well whatever it is he is about to show can't be good." Krillin said nervously.
"I don't know what you are talking about Damien nothing happened at the party…Trunks took me back to his place…that's it." Reilena said now getting even more defensive.
"Oh is that true? Well why don't we take a look…back to that night…" Damien said pointing to the giant screen above where the athletes section was.
Reilena scowled "anything that happened that night has no business being here to begin with."
"Oh really is that so?" Damien began.
Just as Reilena was about to say something another image came up on the screen. This time of her and Trunks on the Capsule Corp lawn from what it looked like was later that night.
Trunks set her down and watched her slowly stumble towards the door.
Reilena drunkenly turned around to see him laughing at her "hey…why are you laughing at me?"
"Because….you are so shit faced…all because of Damien." He said to her.
"What…that douche bag….no way…I am so over him…Damien….who….he is just an asshole to me now…" Reilena said with a drunken slur.
"Right sure ok Rei whatever you say…I know you still aren't over him and really that's all that matters." Trunks said with a smirk.
"I am so over him!" Reilena said as she stumbled towards him.
"Right…sure keep saying it Rei I will believe it when I see it…" Trunks said with a laugh.
"Oh yeah…" Reilena said drunkenly.
"Yeah." Trunks said crossing his arms looking at her.
The next thing Trunks knew Reilena grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
At that moment the screen jumped to later that night which her and Trunks in her guest bedroom.
"You swear you won't tell a soul…" Reilena said now looking at him still drunk.
"I told you already yes…I don't know why you are so…" Trunks began.
"I knew my father was going to die…" Reilena said quickly now looking away from him.
"What…Reilena what the hell are you talking about?" Trunks said in disbelief.
Reilena gulped "I…I knew that he was going to instant transmission Cell away from everyone…I knew…for awhile…"
Trunks looked at her and gave a small laugh "Reilena I think you are nuts no one could have possibly known your father was going to…"
"I knew…I heard him tell Piccolo…" she said to him.
Trunks quitted down realizing that she wasn't joking "how…"
"During the ten days before the Cell Games…my mom…she sent me to go and get him for dinner when I saw him talking to Piccolo in the woods…I heard him…I heard him tell Piccolo that if Cell tried to blow up the Earth he would instant transmission him to somewhere else…but that he might not make it back in time…" she said somberly.
"I froze…when I saw that he was going to go down there I froze…I didn't know what to say…I couldn't say anything…" Reilena said now getting teary eyed.
"Reilena…" he said with concern.
"Just when I finally got my nerve up to say something it was too late…he was already gone…" she said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"It's my fault…I should have said something." Reilena said to him.
Trunks put his arm around her and pulled her close to him "Reilena it's not your fault…"
"Yes it is Trunks…it's my fault that Goten doesn't have a father…that my mother cried herself to sleep every night for a year and half…if I said something he might still be here!" she sobbed.
Reilena looked at the screen in a shock/confused way as the screen cut out one last time and went blank.
Chaz and Aleta looked at the screen blankly from their seats.
"Did you just…" Aleta began.
"See that? Yeah man…" Chaz said in a daze.
"Do you think it's…" Aleta continued.
"True? Well by the look on Reilena's face I would say so but wow man…who would have thought…" Chaz began.
"That Reilena and Trunks were aliens…" Aleta finished.
The two slowly turned their heads towards each other and began to smirk.
"Boss…" they said at the same time.
"Oh that is it she is NEVER leaving the house ever again! I told Gohan that it would be a bad idea letting her go to public school so early! My baby is corrupted!" Chichi sobbed.
"Chichi it is going to be all right I am sure that it was just one time…" Bulma began before Chichi cut her off.
"She was over YOUR house that night Bulma why didn't you do anything about it?" Chichi yelled as she jumped up towards her.
"Me? So now this is my fault? I had no idea that she was even at my house Chi! You know how busy I am and how big Capsule Corp is! They obviously snuck in under Vegeta and mines noses!" Bulma yelled back lying.
"Right I am sure…" Chichi began until Videl pulled her back.
"Uh Chichi now really isn't the time…" Videl began before being cut of by her mother-in-law.
"Oh now is DEFFINATELY THE TIME!" Chichi yelled.
Videl sighed in defeat and sat back down, going back to watching the rest of the events unfolded as Chichi had her melt down.
"That…that didn't happen, I don't…I don't remember any of that…you are making up lies now…" Reilena said in an almost whisper as she turned to face him.
"Oh I beg to differ my dear…" Damien smirked.
"No…none of that could have possibly happened…I mean I was drunk but…there is no way…" Reilena said as she turned around to face Trunks knowing that if what she had seen was true his face would show it.
Trunks jumped back a bit knowing exactly why she was looking at him and took a deep breath in and sighed nervously.
Reilena looked at Trunks as he looked back at her clearly nervous.
It's true…it…it's not a lie…why didn't he tell me when I asked him? She thought to herself.
"Did you find what you were looking for? I told you it's not a lie…I only state the truth…" Damien laughed.
Reilena gritted her teeth and got back into fighting stance, giving him a serious face.
"Is this what you want…a chance to fight and prove yourself against me? Or maybe it's just you want to find out what true Saiyan power is really like! Of course there is always the possibility that you are just pissed that I beat you like a school girl in the hall and then embarrassed you in front of two prospective one night stands! Which one is it Damien TELL ME!" she yelled at him.
Damien smirked "a little…bit of both…you see Reilena…"
Damien all of a sudden stopped and grabbed his head shaking it around.
"I…am…not wasting time master…I just need…" he said struggling.
Reilena dropped her stance and watched as he talked to himself.
What is he…it's like he's struggling with himself…could he be… she began to think to herself when she noticed him settling down.
"Now where were we before I was…interrupted…?" Damien said with an evil smirk.
Reilena looked at him silently for a moment and then began to speak "Who…who were you talking to?"
"That is for me to know…" he said as he suddenly lunged towards her.
Reilena quickly dodged out of his way but turned around to see he was gone. Just as she was about to look to see if he was up in the sky Reilena felt a huge painful force shove her into the wall of the stadium.
"…and you to never find out…" Damien whispered as he grabbed her and threw her back into the ring.
Reilena skidded across the ring floor to a stop.
Damn it, where the hell did he get all this power from? She thought to herself as she slowly started to get up.
Damien swiftly moved behind her and before she could even turn around he had an energy blast armed and ready behind her back.
Reilena froze in her current position, unable to move from the shock she experienced seeing that he knew how to use his energy too.
"You know energy attacks too…" Reilena whispered in shock.
"Well, it is only a recent development…" Damien smirked as he quickly gathered up more energy and blasted her clear across the arena again.
Reilena moaned as she tried to get up again.
How can this be…energy attacks too… before Reilena could finish her thought Damien had already made his way towards her and grabbed her by the and pulled her up to face him.
"Are you that astounded that I have brought myself up to your level and beyond? Come on, someone has to put you Saiyans in your place." Damien whispered to her.
"This is ridicules…we have to get out there I don't think she can hold out too much longer!" Trunks yelled as he tried to break through the force field.
"I don't know what kind of energy he used but it is virtually impossible to get threw." Krillin said to them.
"That's because it's not energy…" Vegeta said as he leaned up against the wall not looking too concerned.
"But Vegeta if it isn't energy than what is it?" Goku asked confused.
Vegeta huffed "think about it Kakarot what else could it possibly be?"
Goku stood their scratching his head trying to think of what it might be "gee I don't know…"
Vegeta almost fell over "ITS A CONTROLED FORCE FIELD YOU IDIOT, HE IS USING THE EARTHS GRAVITY ALONG WITH SOME TYPE OF MAGIC TO HOLD YOU BACK!"
Goku and the others fell over anime style from his statement.
"Put us in our…" Reilena began but before she could even finish her sentence Damien threw her up in the air and began repeatedly blasting her with an evil laugh.
Reilena tried her hardest to block them all but they were coming at her too quick. Damien was putting all his energy into every attack, and he had a lot of energy to give.
"I…can't hold…out…much…" at that moment Reilena's body gave out and she dropped to the ground at incredible speed making a hole in the marital ring when she reached it.
Reilena just lied there as Damien slowly walked over to where she had landed.
Damien smirked "had enough yet?"
Reilena just laid there with no response.
"Well, I guess your silence means you want more…" Damien said as he took his foot and stepped on her face with all his might.
Reilena moaned in pain from the pressure, desperately wanting to fight back but couldn't because of how weak she had become from the previous attacks.
How could he have gotten so strong? Who gave him all this power? Reilena thought to her self as she slowly faded away.
Just as Damien was about to finish her off he suddenly stopped grabbing his head again.
"I'm…not done with her yet!" he yelled as he shook his head.
He's…he's struggling…again… Reilena thought to herself as she laid there barely conscious.
Just then Damien stopped and slowly raised his head up and looked down at her with a smirk.
Reilena just laid there motionless, struggling to keep her eyes open.
Damien slowly walked over to her and leaned down to whisper to her "Don't think that just because I am leaving now means that this is over…because believe you me Saiyan…it is far from that."
With that said Damien slowly walked away from her and then suddenly took off into the sky, and released the force field that was holding the other Z fighters.
Trunks quickly ran out to the ring to be by Reilena's side.
"Rei…" Trunks began but was cut off by monks coming towards them with a stretcher.
"Excuse us young man but we need to take this young lady to the trauma room, she is in need of some immediate medical attention!" one of the monks said to him.
"But Sir I…" Trunks began.
"Trunks…Trunks don't worry about me…go fight in your match…I will be fine…" Reilena said barely conscious.
Trunks stood there dumbfounded as they took Reilena away on the stretcher to thunderous applause.
"My…little…" Chichi said as she fell backwards and fainted.
"Chichi!" Ox King yelled as he caught her.
"I'll go get some ice!" Yamcha yelled as he raced towards a near by concession stand.
"Reilena has been training to hard for this…how could he just beat her up like that?" Bulma said outraged.
"I don't know Bulma…there was something strange about him…I just can't put my finger on it…" Videl said as she fanned the fainted Chichi.
"Viri…what's going on what happened to my sister?" Goten said as he franticly tried to escape the costume.
"Dude your sister totally just got her butt handed to her by that guy…." Viri said in amazement.
"But…how can that be she is one of the strongest fighters in the world!" Goten whined.
"I don't know man but apparently she can't beat that guy…" Viri said as he watched then carry Reilena to the back.
Trunks hurried back to the others who were waiting to hear the news "they are taking her to the back to treat her…not that any of their machines or anything can help her…"
"Man I should have through to bring some sensu beans with us. I didn't think that any of us might need them…" Gohan said scratching his head.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and snorted "doesn't Kakarot know instant transmission."
"Hey that's right I do! I could just go to Korin's tower and get some for her!" Goku said with a smile.
"Yeah hey I almost forgot that you had that ability Goku!" Krillin said to him.
Goku smiled ands scratched his head "yeah it sure does come in handy sometimes! Thanks for reminding me Vegeta! Man it sure will be nice to see Korin again, I wonder what he's been up to…oh and I can't forget Yajirobe!"
"Uh Goku, maybe someone should go with you…you know to keep you company…" Trunks said nervously approaching him, knowing that if someone didn't go it may take hours for him to get back to the tournament.
"Yeah that's a good idea…Trunks why don't you go?" Gohan said to him with a smile.
"But Gohan I have a match coming up and…" Trunks began.
"Don't worry about it…I have you covered…besides, I don't think you are really up to fighting right now anyways..." Gohan said commenting on his very fragile state after watching Reilena get the crap beaten out of her.
Trunks slowly nodded his head and gave him a small smile "thanks Gohan…"
"Anytime bro…I know that there is no way you can focus right now…I will just have them have delay the match a little longer…" Gohan said as he headed towards Hercules locker room.
"Uh Gohan how are you going to have them do that?" Krillin asked.
Gohan smirked as he walked away "I think you are forgetting who my father in law is…"
Krillin started blankly then exclaimed "ohhh that's right, I almost forgot that bafoon was your father in law."
"Let me just ask my opponent if it is ok with him…" Trunks said as he went over to Kibito.
"Uh hi…Kibito?" Trunks said nervously to him.
Kibito slowly looked down at him, acknowledging his presence.
"Uh yeah…I was wondering if it would be ok if we just delayed our match just a few more moments…I really need to go take care of something and I really want to give you the best fight that I can out of me…" Trunks explained.
Kibito slowly nodded his head in agreement.
"Everything is set…Goku we should go now…the sooner we go the sooner we get back and Reilena will heal…" Trunks said to him as he walked back over.
"Yeah, let's go!" Goku said as he placed his arm on his shoulder and concentrated until he found Yajirobe's energy signal and disappeared.
Trunks felt the warmth of Goku's energy disappear as he opened his eyes and looked around. They were definitely at Korin's place.
"Wow glad to see that this place hasn't changed one bit." Goku said as he admired the untouched motif of Korin's place.
"Yeah…but I wonder where…." Trunks began to say before he was interrupted by someone in the shadows.
"I would presume you are here for some sensu beans?" the figure said.
Goku stared blankly into the shadow "yeah…I guess you have been watching the tournament too huh Korin?"
Korin emerged from the shadows "of course I have Goku, do you think I would miss a chance to watch my old pupil fight again?"
Goku laughed "well you were always one of my biggest fans."
Trunks sighed in aggravation "Goku…please we really don't have much time…we need to get back to the tournament. Reilena needs us…"
Goku stopped laughing and put on a serious face "right…if you don't mind Korin we will need a few of those beans.
The next thing Trunks knew he was back at the Tournament.
"So did you guys get the beans?" Krillin said anxiously.
Goku smiled "Yeah! Korin and Yajirobe only had three left but with the way things have been going so far we may need to use all three."
"Oh man Goku don't say that I was really looking forward to a nice easy going day." Krillin moaned.
Goku smiled then turned his attention to Trunks and tossed him the bag with the sensu beans in them "here you go kid you better go get those to Rei before your match starts!"
Trunks nodded his head "right, I'll be right back."
And with that Trunks ran off to the infirmary where the tournament officials were keeping Reilena. Unbeknownst Kibito was keeping a watchful eye on his opponent.
"Hey what was that stuff your dad just gave to Trunks?" Viri asked Goten curiously.
"I dunno…" Goten said back to his friend.
"I bet it was something that is going to give Trunks some kind of super strength so he can win his next match against that Kibito guy." Viri said matter of factly.
"I don't know Viri….Trunks is kind of tough on his own you know?" Goten said back.
"Well I hope they get started soon we are in the seventh match and when we get out there someone is going to get their butt kick." Viri said with a smirk.
"I guess…I am kind of more worried about my sister…" Goten said nervously.
"Aww your sister is fine I am sure they are fixing her up in the back right now…" Viri said trying to get the other to focus.
"Ok…if you say so…"Goten said sadly.
"Oh I don't just say so…I know so…" Viri said confidently.
"Lets see…ahhh which room could it be! How many infirmary rooms could one place have?" Trunks said frantically as he searched.
Out of the corner of his eye Trunks spotted a monk leaving one of the rooms.
I bet she is in that room. Trunks thought to himself as he approached the room.
"Madam please just sits still while we treat you! Struggling will not help you get better." One of the monks said to Reilena as she struggled to get up from her hospital bed.
"No…I will not!" Reilena protested as she tried to get up.
"Please…you have a bruised lung and several broken bones and…" the monk continued before being interrupted.
"I…don't….care…" she said as she struggled to get up again.
"Sir please no one is allowed in here…" Reilena suddenly heard someone say.
"I understand that but I need to see her…she is a close friend!" The voice exclaimed.
"Tr…Trunks…" Reilena moaned in response to hearing him.
Just as Reilena spoke one of the Monks let his guard down and Trunks bolted through to Reilena's bed side.
Reilena struggled to smile "what….what are you doing here….you should be at…your match."
Trunks smiled at her "come on did you really think I was just going to leave you hanging here?"
Reilena smirked in response "you're…the son of Vegeta…who knows…"
Trunks gave a small laugh as he reached into the bag and pulled out a sensu bean "here…special delivery all the way from Korin's tower."
"A….sensu…bean…" she struggled to say as she barely opened her eyes.
"Yes…now here…chew this, I'd wait but I need to get back to my match…." Trunks said as he handed her the bean.
"Right…go…kick some Kibito…butt…" Reilena moaned as she lifted the bean to her mouth.
"You got it!" Trunks said as he raced out the door.
Trunks rounded the corner towards where the waiting area for the fighters was.
Krillin looked up to see Trunks jogging towards them "hey how's she holding up!"
"Well she's giving the monks back there a run of their money….but she should be fine in a few minutes." Trunks said with a small laugh.
Gohan exhaled as he heard the news "thank god…my mother would have killed me if anything happened to her."
"Oh I think she would have done more than that Gohan." Krillin laughed slapping his back.
"So what's the deal kid are you back or what?" the announcer said looking at Trunks.
Trunks almost forgetting about the match dashed over to the entrance to the ring.
"Right, all set now sorry about that…" Trunks said to the announcer looking at Kibito.
"Well good now let's get this match rolling the crowd is getting restless…" the announcer said as he headed to the ring.
Reilena slowly chewed the sensu bean, much to the protest of the monks around her. Before she knew it she felt an overwhelming sensation of energy build up and she shot up in shock.
"Wow these things really are amazing." Reilena said as she inspected herself.
"What…what are you doing sitting up?" one of the monks said as they placed their hand on her shoulder trying to get her to lay down.
"Hey watch it buddy…" Reilena said removing the monk's hand.
She slowly removed the ivs from her arm and jumped out of the bed.
"Oh man I better hustle it Trunks match must be starting right now!" she said as she ran out of the infirmary room leaving several stunned monks in her wake.
Trunk slowly proceeded towards the ring with Kibito by his side as the announcer began to announce their match.
"Hey sorry about the delay." Trunks said to Kibito.
Kibito looked away and grunted "you had to take care of some business….I understand."
"Ladies and gentlemen sorry to keep you waiting now let's get started!" the announcer said.
Alright Trunks it's now or never….you can beat this guy you have to…once you get through this round you can show Damien what a bad move it was beating the crap out of Rei. He thought to himself as he approached the ring.
"Here we go ladies and gentlemen our fourth bout, Kibito versus Trunks!" the announcer began.
"Hey look there's Trunks!" Aleta said enthusiastically
Chad grabbed the binoculars from her "hey yeah your right!"
"Hey Trunks kick his ass come on!" Aleta yelled from the stands.
"Yeah buddy pound his face into the ground!" Chad yelled after.
Trunks looked up as he heard his name. He half expected to see his mother cheering from the stands but to his surprise there were his friends from school cheering him on.
Trunks shrugged the gesture off and nervously waived back "uh...thanks…"
"I'm sure our two fierce competitors are ready to lock horns at any moment…" the announcer said trying to speed their match up.
Trunks turned to Kibito and got into a fighting stance "alright let's get this over with you're the only one standing in my way from who I really want to fight."
Kibito just stood there looking at him with a serious gaze.
What the hell is this guy just going to stare at me all day? He thought to himself.
"Trunks…I would really like to see your Super Saiyan powers….show them to me, we may be able to use them…" Kibito said seriously to him.
"Huh…wait a minute how do you know about Super Saiyans….and that I have that ability?" Trunks said half confused half shocked.
And then another thing dawned on him "and what do you mean we may be able to use them?"
"You will know more in time…now show me your Super Saiyan powers now!" Kibito demanded.
Trunks looked around then focused back at him "umm is this some sort of joke...I am not going to transform in front of all these people…in front of my classmates!"
"There not fighting what are they doing out there?" Krillin said curiously.
"Kibito wants to see him become a Super Saiyan." Goku whispered.
"Hey what did I miss?" Reilena said running towards Krillin and her father.
"Rei you're ok!" Gohan said as he hugged his little sister.
Reilena pushed him away "of course I am ok now what's going on? What did I miss?"
"Kibito wants Trunks to transform into a Super Saiyan." Krillin said to her.
"WHAT!" she practically screamed as she pushed him out of the way to move in front of them.
Piccolo looked back at Shin nervously watching his every move.
"Trunks…." Vegeta said looking at his son.
Trunks turned his head to see his father watching him intently.
"Do it…show him what Saiyan power looks like." He continued.
Trunks gulped and slowly nodded his head in response.
"Uh Vegeta I don't think that is a very good Id…" Reilena began but was cut off by him.
"Enough brat…Trunks will show is Super Saiyan powers and that is it!" Vegeta yelled.
Goku put a hand on his daughters shoulder "he's right Rei, there must be a reason he wants to see them."
Reilena looked up at her father and slowly nodded as she turned her attention back to the ring.
Shin walked up to the group as Trunks was about to transform "It's time…"
"You do not need to worry about Trunks, he will be fine. But no matter what happens I want you to stay out of the way." Shin continued.
"What...oh no there is no way that I am going to be staying back if something bad happens to Tru…" Reilena started as she went to storm up to Shim but was interrupted by Gohans hand going against her mouth to shut her up.
"Rei I think we should listen to him…sorry about that my sister tends to have a bit of a big mouth." Gohan said giving Reilena an angry glare.
"Go…han…let…go…" Reilena muffled as she was help tight by Gohan.
Shin approached her "you must not get in the way do you understand. It is very important…the earths survival is depending on this moment."
Reilena stopped struggling and looked at him seriously. Gohan slowly let his grip go on her as she gasped for air.
"Wha…" Reilena began.
"All will be reveled in due time…" Shin said to them.
"Well let's see it…I am waiting…" Kibito said getting impatient.
"Man this is seriously going to cause me more problems than you know." Trunks said looking up towards his friends in the audience.
Trunks turned his gaze back to Kibito and smirked "but if you insist…."
"Humph I don't know why I should have to take orders from you. If I want to start a fight with that freak I will." Vegeta scowled.
"Watch your mouth Vegeta that is no way to talk to the Supreme Kai." Piccolo said.
Everyone looked over at Piccolo in shock.
"I heard stories from King Kai but I thought that they were just stories." Goku said shocked.
Reilena looked back at Trunks "I have a bad feeling about this…something isn't right."
"As soon as Trunks transforms I am certain that Yamu and Damien will attack him." The Supreme Kai stated.
"Wait what Damien?" Reilena's ears perked up.
The Supreme Kai looked at her "I told you in due time child you will know."
Reilena groaned in defeat becoming impatient.
"Listen I don't know what you want from us but Trunks is pretty capable of taking care of himself." Gohan interjected.
"What makes you so sure they are going to attack him" Goku said concerned.
"They don't know it yet but Trunks will be the one they are looking for. Don't worry they don't want his life only his energy." Supreme Kai continued.
"His energy?" Goku said confused.
"And here I just thought you wanted a show." Vegeta chuckled.
Trunks began to power up slowly. Part of him was doing that to be careful in case something happened, the Saiyan side of him however wanted to make a show of it, after all he was the son of Vegeta.
Small bursts of lighting surrounded him as he continued to power up. Finally after a few moments Trunks gave one final push and transformed in front of Kibito and the whole stadium.
The stadium was silent in awe as they watched the demi saiyan in all his glory.
"There you happy now?" Trunks said with a Vegeta like smirk.
Kibito stared at him silently.
Trunks looked at him and started to get annoyed "what's the matter don't like what you see?"
"No…I know you can go farther…ascend to the next level." Kibito urged.
"Whaat...how did you…" Trunks stated in shock.
"It doesn't matter how I know…just do it." Kibito demanded.
"Ok, ok you don't have to get so pushy." Trunks said with an attitude.
Trunks clenched his fists and began to power up further. His muscles began to bulge out as the tiles of the tournament ring began to rise. Trunks let out one final yell as he ascended to the next level a brighter glow coming from him now as the tiles finally rested.
"Well you happy now, come on fight me." Trunks demanded.
Kibito looked in shock. It was greater than he expected. Never did he imagine Saiyan power to be like this.
"What the hell are you waiting for let's get this going I don't have all day!" Trunks yelled.
All of a sudden out of nowhere Damien and Yamu came out of the shadows and made their way towards Trunks.
Just as the Supreme Kai saw them approach Trunks he sent a magical energy wave towards Trunks paralyzing him.
"Ah what the…" Trunks began.
Reilena watched in horror as Trunks struggled. She clenched her fists and turned to the Supreme Kai. "What the hell are you doing? Why are you restricting him that this!"
The next thing Reilena knew Yamu tackled Trunks to the ground and Damien stuck a white device into his side.
Trunks screamed in pain as Damien struck him with the device. Slowly but surely his energy began to drain.
"Trunks!" Reilena yelled as she took a step forward but Goku held her back.
"Daddy please!" she begged as she watched her best friend get sucked lifeless.
Goku shook his head "no we need to let this play out."
Reilena turned around and looked at the rest of them "Gohan….Krillin…come on guys really?"
"Sorry Rei as much as we want to…" Gohan began looking at the Supreme Kai.
Reilena sighed and kneeled to the ground in defeat. Trunks please hang in there.
In a blinding flash of light Yamu and Damien flew off and Trunks collapsed to the ground.
Reilena jumped up and ran towards her best friend with tears in her eyes. When she reached him she slowly stroked his hair.
"Trunks…Trunks come on talk to me…" she said wiping away her tears.
"Don't move all of you stay where you are. Kibito will heal Trunks he has no need for your assistance." The Supreme Kai said as he tried tracking Damien and Yamu's kai's.
"You know you could at least tell us what you are going to do with him!" Goku said.
"It's time I must follow them and see where they are taking Trunks power. I could really use your help and would appreciate it if you came along…but I would understand if you don't" he continued and then flew off.
Gohan looked up at his father and saw he had that crazy look in his eye "don't tell me you're thinking of going dad."
"I don't think I have a choice. Supreme Kai said that Trunks will be fine. So if I don't go I will never know what is going on." Goku said with a smirk.
"Well I don't know if I can agree but a part of me is itching to go too…just hang on a minuet a need to go tell my wife. If I don't she will kill me." Krillin said running off towards 18.
"I'm in too dad." Gohan said looking at Piccolo who nodded in agreement.
"In too what?" a voice said.
The fighters turned around to see Videl standing there with her arms folded.
"What on earth is going on here…what just happened to Trunks, and Rei? Chichi and Bulma are beside themselves." Videl said agitated.
Gohan went up to his wife and put his hands on her shoulder "Trunks will be fine…it looks like we got more than we bargained for today. We are about to go and find out what's going on. Tell the others we will be back as soon as this is all over."
Videl sighed knowing very well that she couldn't stop him.
"Alright…just be careful…and don't get yourself killed!" Videl said to him.
Gohan leaned down and kissed her sweetly as he pulled her towards him "don't worry I'll be fine."
Videl hugged him back "just come back to me Gohan."
They pulled apart as they heard Vergeta storm up to his father.
"Hey Kakarott, I know what you are doing you are trying to get out of fighting me!" Vegeta yelled.
"No honest Vegeta! It's just this is kind of more important than our match right now." Goku said with a small laugh.
"Listen you and I are scheduled to battle in two matched from now…if you plan to leave you better be back by then!" he yelled.
"Alright relax Vegeta. I am going to go with the Supreme Kai and when I get back our fight will be my top priority geeze." Goku said trying to calm Vegeta down.
"You idiot you can only stay in this world for one day!" Vegeta yelled.
"Oh your right…I guess you will just have to come with us!" Goku said nonchalantly as he and the other blasted off towards the Supreme Kai.
Vegeta gritted his teeth and reluctantly followed and mumbled "stupid Kakarott."
"Hey where did everyone go?" Trunks said slowly coming to.
Reilena looked up at the sky "they must have gone with the Supreme Kai."
Kibito leaned down and put his hand on Trunks.
"Stay still this won't take long." He said to them as he began to transfer energy.
Before the both knew it Trunks was back to normal. He stood up bending his hands back and forth.
"Trunks!" Reilena said as she jumped towards him and wrapper arms around him.
"Hey now…calm down I'm fine." Trunks said with a small laugh as he blushed.
"If you come with me I will tell you both everything…" Kibito said before he blast off after the others.
Trunks and Reilena stood in the middle of the ring as they watched Kibito leave.
Trunks turned to Reilena "Well what do you think? Should be go with him?"
"What kind of silly question is that? You know me better than this of course we should go! You know I can't miss this come on!" Reilena smirked and grabbed his hand and lead him towards the sky.
