Chapter 36:The World's Final Hope is Afraid?
Third Person
Mirai grabbed Trunks by his shirt and started to drag the Saiyan away as Ray lay on the ground,still unconscious.
-----
"Ugh....W-What happened?"Ray groaned as he sat up.
The Tororin looked around and saw nothing.Was it over?What had been the outcome of the battle?He barely recalled feeling pressure on the side of his neck before darkness had settled in.Mirai had survived somehow and knocked him out,but what about Trunks?The weary warrior got to his feet and stumbled a few yards when he noticed the glint of light on steel.
'Trunks's sword....He would never leave it behind unless he was...dead....'Ray thought.
The sword started to glow,seeming to acknowledge the presence of its owner's friend.Ray blinked as he sensed Trunks's energy coming from the blade itself.With a determined look and a fire of rage in his eyes,the Tororin gripped the handle of his friend's weapon and was absorbed into its glow.With a flash of light,a new Ray stood.He had gained lavender streaks in his hair and now had one blue eye.
'I promise,Trunks....'his thoughts trailed off as he started to accept the truth,"Your death will NOT be in vain!!"
He was surrounded by a silver aura and flew into the sky,the aura leaving a trail behind him.With anger unparalleled by anything ever known boiling in his veins,Ray readied himself for the decisive battle that was about to take place.
-----
Mirai rested Trunks against a rock and gazed at his handiwork.The Saiyan's life was draining away.Occasionally,Trunks's mouth would move and his eyes would focus once more,but no sound would come from him.He had been partially paralyzed,and they both knew his life would end soon.
"Y....Wo....Et....Way....Is....Ra....S...On....Hi...Ay...."Trunks trailed off,unable to form words.
"What was that?"Mirai asked,bemused that this fool still had a small amount of strength left.
Suddenly filled with new strength,Trunks's Saiyan blood kept him alive,"You won't get away with this!Ray is on his way,and he won't let your evil continue.I just hope my life lasts long enough to see you be terminated with extreme prejudice!You've angered him by destroying those that are like him,and trust me,you won't like it when Ray's angry."
"You fool!You should have shut up when you had the chance!"Mirai exclaimed,pointing a finger at his fallen foe.
A dark energy started to gather at his fingertip,but Trunks showed no fear,"Go ahead....I dare you.You'll just anger Ray even more.That means your story will end in a very painful manner."
"Why you!I'm going to--UGAH!!!"
"Heh heh heh heh!It's not fun being hunted is it,Mirai?"
Trunks smirked as he gazed at the sword of golden energy that had pierced through Mirai's stomach.Ray stood behind him,an identical smirk on his face and two fingers held out to support the energy sword.
"Being hunted just like you hunted down the Tororin race....Does it hurt!?"Ray demanded.
Mirai's eyes widened,the energy he had gathered disappearing.He hadn't expected this,how had the Tororin lived?
"This is incredible.Seeing you shake with fear.Tell me,is that look on your face the same look that every Tororin gave you just before you destroyed them?I guess it's true,what goes around comes around.You made a big mistake by coming to Earth,and that mistake is going to cost you,"Ray warned.
He raised his two fingers in the air,taking the sword and Mirai with them.The blade extended and the fingers lowered back down,slamming Mirai hard into the ground.The energy disappeared and Ray turned to Trunks.
"I thought you were dead?"Ray asked,not showing his happiness in knowing his friend was still alive.
'I almost am,'Trunks thought,pushing it to the Tororin and trying not use the last bit of strength he still had left,'My Saiyan blood wants to see him destroyed,so it's fighting to last long enough.'
"Hm....Interesting.I'll make sure to draw this out so you can last longer.Besides,you know me.I like for my FUN to last as long as possible."
'Listen to you!You sound like a blood thirsty savage!Just finish him off and make him feel a lot of pain to make him pay.Then I can die in peace and you can go on living.'
"Right....I don't want to become like him.I have to control this transformation,"he closed his eyes,feeling his energy,"There I am!Now that I have my own attitude back,I'll continue making him pay."
Ray walked slowly towards to crater Mirai had created on impact and watched as the creature stumbled to his feet.Faster than the eye could see,the Tororin had grabbed Mirai's arms and was extending them backwards.He used his energy to float on his back and started to taunt the creature that destroyed his former home planet.
"Gee....It looks like that hurts.If I keep pulling like this,I might ACCIDENTLY pull your arms right off!So,I won't pull any more,"he tightened his grip on Mirai's wrists,"I'll kick instead!!"
Ray started to kick his enemie's back with enough force to topple skyscrapers.Eventually,Mirai was sent flying away.But two pieces of him remained in Ray's grasp.
The Tororin's eyes widened as he held up two blue arms,"SICK!You've been un-ARMED!!"
With a smirk,he threw the arms into the air and blasted both.Mirai got to his feet ad started to shake.Two arms burst from where the other two had been removed,covered in a blue ooze.
"Gross....Disturbing....It'd give little kids nightmares!Good thing we're getting old,eh Trunks!?"Ray called out.
The Saiyan smiled at his friend,getting weaker by the moment,'Finish him off,it feels like he's getting stronger.'
"Yeah,yeah,yeah.I will eventually.Argh!Stupid transformation!!It feels like I'm a new person!Let me have my attitude back....There,all better,"Ray grinned at Mirai.
The creature took a step back,fear and confusion written on his face.But it was quickly replaced with a smirk.His tail rested on the ground,occasionally twitching as an idea came to his twisted mind.
"You're a Tororin,I'm sure you hunger for a challenge.What would you say if I told you this wasn't my full power?"Mirai asked.
Ray unsheathed Trunks's sword and the Ultimasamune,"I'd say you were bluffing."
Mirai chuckled,"Spoken like a true Tororin.Ignorant beyond belief."
This comment earned a low growl.Ray's fingers were twitching with anticipation,ready to continue this battle.Without thought,the two blades would wound Mirai if he said one thing that crossed the line.
"If you give me three seconds,I can supply with a challenge you most certainly will not be disappointed in,"Mirai stated,"Three seconds,this is all I ask."
"Three seconds,huh?....Fine.By all means,power up,"Ray said.
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?DON'T START ACTING LIKE MY FATHER!!HIS PRIDE GOT HIM KILLED AND THE SAME WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU LET MIRAI POWER UP!!!!'Trunks shouted through his thoughts.
"SHUT UP,TRUNKS!!"Ray shouted back,"He can power up all he wants,but he's nothing when compared to me!"
Trunks growled,what had caused his friend to be so stupid?This is what happened to Goku when he fought Frieza on Planet Namek,and it almost got him killed.Mirai started to increase in muscle bulk and his energy skyrocketed to an unbelievable height.Then it hit Ray like a punch from Vegito.All that he had done,all that he had stood up for....It was going to be thrown to the side because of one moment of stupidity.This was one battle that he couldn't fight on his own.
Trunks was too weak to fuse,and the others were miles away and unsure of what was going on.The Tororin,for the first time in twenty seven years,was filled with fear.
'How could I be so stupid!!?'Ray demanded of himself.
