The History of Marron
Chapter 26: Stealth and Luck (flashback chapter)
A/N: I know it's been like a million years since I last updated, but I have a perfect excuse. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks (late December to early January) after contracting a virus from the flu. I want to thank all those who favorited and followed my story during this time it made me smile and made my day: Lady'Athena Jinguji de-Geminis, NeoTyson, Ninja Ryan the firewarrior, St Rhon. I want to thank you for your patience, I'm better know, just had to handle a lot of things. Also, I have been receiving one bad review from a person, I really don't care as much as just to acknowledge it. I'll admit I made several errors and some things may sound stupid but this was my first fic and well I know what to do better next time thanks for review as well. Now here's the new chapter.
He had concluded with the answer to the question he had been asking himself lately. Why did she save me? She wanted to play with him, just like her parents used to "play" with him. She didn't want him dead just yet, no she wanted to torture him, watch him suffer, give him false hope and think he would have won the battle. She was out for revenge, him killing her parents sure wasn't going to make her like him, but seek vengeance.
But he also wondered how she knew he specifically killed her parents, was she always watching the battles against her parents and him in the shadows? He shook the thought out of his head. She was a trickster as she easily tricked him that day when he was out looking for survivors and she had exclaimed she was over here like an actual survivor who needed help. Boy had she fooled him good.
There were some weird things about her that he noticed during their battle, her calling him a beast and her looking as though she was about to faint about the inhumanely amount of blood that was spilling out of him once she shot him and he was out of commission. But he knew one thing for sure, she needed to be terminated. She was evil and wanted him dead and if he were to be murdered she would be a huge threat to society and destroy what was left of Japan.
He took note of the battle, she wasn't that strong as her parents as he almost succeeded in ending her life or was she only using half her strength? He shook his head at the thought as well not wanting to believe she was going easy on him. They both suffered some serious fatalities and next time he crossed paths with her she would be dead.
His mother told him things about his heritage and that when Saiyans faced a beatdown where they neared death they get stronger, though he wasn't a full Saiyan it still applied to him, he wouldn't inherit that much strength like a full Saiyan would.
He gritted his teeth as images of the battle replayed in his mind. He had lost, by a girl. He had defeated her parents but not her...does that make her stronger than them?! He growled in frustration as he was giving himself a headache, there was no point in trying to figure this out, he was going to kill her and that was that.
He sighed to himself before getting off his bed. He just came from a long day of helping survivors. After that day his mother had told him to be cautious, worried that she would lose him if the androids spawn attacked him. It was time for dinner but he had kept holding off as his mother kept calling him to eat. He headed for the dining room and found her on the phone, a serious expression on her face.
"Ok, thanks for the info, buh bye," she ended the call and placed the phone down. She remained silent for a while one hand on her head but as Trunks didn't like not knowing the latest news he asked his mother what was wrong.
She looked at him, the serious expression still on her face. "That was one of our receptionist at one of the safe havens, she said the female android came in with a large gash on her side and three hostages, one man, women, and child. And they didn't want to cause trouble by denying her service so they tended to her wounds and got her situated in a bunker along with the hostages."
Trunks bared his teeth and fisted both his palms. "Which safe haven?" He growled.
"Take a deep breath honey," his mother tried to soothe his nerves.
He looked at her wondering if she was serious. He calm down while people lives were in danger.
"The address mother," he was so infuriated, if only he had killed her then those three hostages and everyone else in the safe haven wouldn't be in danger right now.
"I'm coming with you," his mother concluded.
"No! It's too dangerous," he found himself uttering words that should've been leaving his mother's lips before turning around to the archway, ready to go once his mom told him the address.
"I can't have you kill her," his mother mumbled lowly.
Her words quickly caught his full attention as he whirled around so quickly to look at his mother, wondering if she was sane.
"Are you out of your mind?!" He exclaimed, "she's a major threat to society!"
"I just want to run some test," she told honestly.
He sighed at her curiosity, she was truly a scientist. "You can't do the same thing to a dead corpse?" He asked.
She shook her head no, she was just trying to figure out how the androids kid managed to stay alive so long with her parent's genetics being unstable and if some of the bionic DNA was coursing through her veins. Wanting to keep her alive was a bit selfish to ask, but as she loved acquiring new information this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Fine," he muttered angrily, "now give me the address," he demanded.
After hearing the address Trunks wasted no time in getting his sword from his room and his mother from getting some gadgets from the lab. When they were out the door he grabbed his mom angel style and took off into the air. His mother would've preferred taking the heap of junk she called a car, but it was going to take forever and he didn't know how much time before the spawn of the devil attacked.
He flew faster, not trying to take any chances. He looked down at his mother who was clutching his shirt tightly, a small look of terror and excitement on her face.
He would've smiled lightly as his mother enjoyed yet feared taking flight if circumstances were different, but as he was dealing with so much of having the androids daughter live another day and the anger pent up in his system he couldn't see a smile appearing on his features no time soon.
He flew even faster but cautiously, not wanting to be too late and find out blood had been spilled when he had a chance to prevent it from happening.
It was over an hour when he finally landed at the safe haven. He placed his mother down and they calmly walked into the worn outdoors.
"Did IT do anything yet?" He asked the receptionist upon entering the building.
She shook her head no before audibly saying no.
"Did you make any suspicious eye contact with her to or did the hostages show you any sign of plea for help?" Bulma asked.
The receptionist had a look of worry on her face, "I-I kept giving her side glances, but she didn't seem to notice. B-but the family didn't look troubled."
"She probably forced them to trick you, she's good at that," Trunks muttered, "what room are they in?" He continued.
The receptionist looked through her list before handing the spare key to Bulma.
They followed the receptionist instructions and Trunks being the hothead that he was silently yet furiously made his way towards the room. They stood at the front of the door for a moment. He put his ears to the door to hear for any voices. He heard none and hoped she didn't kill them already.
"I'm going to open the door now," he whispered to his mother as he stretched his hand out for her to hand him the key.
She hesitated for a quick second just hoping her son's anger wouldn't get the better of him. They needed this mission to be a stealth one. They needed no casualties or fatalities.
He slowly unlocked the door once getting a hold of the keys, the creaking sound they hoped the door didn't make filled the dark room. They entered silently. After closing the door they strained their eyes to see through the darkness and Bulma felt the same fear she had felt when searching for her son that night return. This time it felt worse. She held her tongue knowing any sound would trigger her throat to scream as she felt the androids daughter were just watching them in the dark smirking before she made her move on them.
Her son grabbed hold of her hand and she felt her safety being reassured. He would protect her no matter what.
They looked around the living room and kitchen for a moment, but not daring to enter the rooms, though they felt that the hostages may just be bloodied corpses lying in a bed they didn't want to believe that. They were in the hallway near the bathroom just in time to see a figure emerge from one of the bedrooms.
The pair snuck into the bathroom and they thanked whoever was in there last as the door was left wide open. Bulma who knew they only had seconds before the person entered the bathroom hid in the tub and moved the curtain to cover her body. While Trunks stood near the tub by the curtain just hoped the person wouldn't turn on the light.
His hopes came true, and everything seemed to have been going according to plan. Though he wasn't 100% sure that it would be the android who entered the bathroom and not turn the light on he felt that luck was finally on his side.
He couldn't help but smile cruelly as she finally spotted him through the mirror after washing her face and before she would attack him he grabbed her neck with his arm and covered her mouth with his hand. Whispering a serious threat into her ear.
"Scream and I'll kill you right here and now."
He felt her shudder slightly under him and he felt the satisfaction of being the one to bring the fear to her and not have it be the opposite way around.
His mother emerged from the tub once he told her to come out and she had come out with her specially made handcuffs and asleep zapper before knocking her out cold.
He finally felt that he won as they made their way out the bunker and headed to his mother's lab.
