Chapter 36:It's Not Over Yet!
Trunks' Point of View
I ducked under a kick from Ray's clone and slashed my swords against him. The clone reeled back, giving me an open shot at it. With a burst of energy, I sent him into one of the many sand dunes.
Gohan was almost matching Zapland's clone punch for punch. But he wasn't used to beings stronger than the Androids. The clone was too fast for him to use just one arm on. The mismatch became apparent when Gohan got slammed into the ground, creating a crater several yards wide.
"You all right!!?" I called out.
To answer me, his Super Saiyan energy shot out of the crater and collided with Zapland's clone. I smirked and turned back to the dune I had thrown the other into. He was just emerging and seemed irate. I easily dodged all of his attacks and managed to lure him next to the Zapland clone.
"You thinkin' what I'm thinking?" Gohan asked in an amused voice.
I nodded and smirked,"Seems like a good idea to me."
We both focused our energy as the two clones started to power up. My earlier question was answered when their hair stood up in orange spikes.
"Looks like they can transform. Oh well, more fun for us," I stated,"C'mon....Dance for us!"
Gohan and I fired thousands of blasts without stopping. Our assault kicked up dust everywhere, veiling our sight. We started to weaken the blasts slowly, until we came to a complete stop.
'So Ray, how are things going over there?' I thought.
'Not so good, to be honest with you Trunks. What about the clones, are they giving you any trouble?'
'Not too bad. Thankfully, they can't go level two like you can. If they could, we probably would have been killed by now.'
'Well, good luck.'
'Luck? Luck is for incompetent fools with no skills whatsoever. Heh heh heh....Good luck.
'Just wait 'till I finish Zaffiroth. You're next Trunks!'
As the dust settled, I saw that the two clones were nearly unscathed. I motioned for Gohan to distract them and he nodded. As he flew toward the duo, I did a series of hand movements while gathering energy. The movements ended with my thumbs and index fingers touching, and the rest of my fingers spread out.
"Burning...ATTACK!!" I shouted.
The orange ball of energy rushed at Gohan and the two clones. Gohan managed to Kamehameha the two and get away safely. The resulting explosion from attack caused the entire ground to shake. All that was left was a giant crater larger than what Zaffiroth's base used to be.
"I think that's enough clone fighting for today, don't you?" Gohan chuckled.
"Yeah," I agreed,"But...."
"You're worried about Ray and Zapland. If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? R-Clone and Z-Clone aren't going to be much of a threat after that Burning Attack."
I nodded and felt for Ray's energy. It was higher than it had ever been before, and Zaffiroth's was steadily growing.
"At the place where I beat the Androids. Let's go!"
-----
"Woah....Look at that energy!" Gohan exclaimed.
Two blasts were fighting each other, one silver and the other a dark black. The silver was the familiar blast of the Masamune, so I concluded that the black was from the Murasame.
"Incredible. I've never felt anything like this before. But it looks like Ray could use some help," I pointed out.
We descended to the ground and stood behind Ray. We both placed our hands on his shoulders and channeled our energy through him. The Masamune's blast started to become equal with the Murasame's, but it wasn't enough to overthrow it.
"Shouldn't you guys be fighting those clones!!?" Ray shouted over the roar of pure energy.
"We already finished 'em!! We thought you could use some help!!!" Gohan replied.
"So just shut up and blast him!!!!" I shouted.
Seemingly out of nowhere, an enormous orange beam hit the area where the black blast was coming from. This apparently surprised Zaffiroth, causing the Murasame's attack to weaken. This split second of weakness allowed the Masamune to completely devour the Murasame's blast. When the attack hit its target, there was a loud shattering sound as Ray fell to his knees.
"I....We did it!" he exclaimed.
Zapland landed next to us with a smirk,"Perhaps it was a good thing that I was thrown into that debris. It gave me a chance to catch the fool off guard."
"And not a moment too soon," I realized, looking a the cracked ground.
"At least it's over now. You two can get back to your girlfriends, Zapland can do whatever it is he does, and I guess I'll get acquainted with that Videl girl," Gohan said.
I smirked,"Now who's going to be teasing who?"
"Ha ha ha ha!! I guess what goes around comes around, eh?" he laughed.
Ray got to his feet and stretched his muscles, slowly falling out of Super Tororin completely,"I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to get some food!"
"You're not the only one. I haven't eaten ever since I was killed! Well, I have....But King Kai's cooking really doesn't make a very good meal," Gohan chuckled.
"Watch out Gohan. Next time you see him, he might make YOU a meal. Literally," I joked.
"Now is not the time to be celebrating," Zapland suddenly growled.
"What is it?" Ray asked.
He pointed toward the crater the Masamune's attack had formed. We followed his gaze and gasped at the sight. There, in the middle of the crater, Zaffiroth was slowly getting to his feet.
