"That boy has problems. He keeps running off on us," Cye kicked a can into the water fountain at the park.
"Well maybe he is leading a double life. Maybe he's trying to stop a thousand-year-old demon from taking over the earth with four dark warlords at his side." Kento just thought on that for awhile. "Yeah, like that could ever happen."
"Well whatever he's doin' he's doin' it without us." Cye put his ands in his pocket, "I think we should leave. I'm getting some bad vibes right now."
"What? I know what's wrong with you, it's that Raye girl from the party the other night. The one in the red dress. She got you into all this ESP mumbo jumbo." Kento scoffed.
Cye looked in further behind Kento and saw an all black, 4-door Lexus pull up, "Like I said, we need to leave. Now."
"What are you talkin' about?" Cye grabbed Kento's head and turned it in the right direction. They saw Aino's pouring out of the car like crazy. "Oh, that's what you were talkin' about. Well let them come, this might even prove interesting."
In the lead of this Aino army was Trunks, followed by Piccolo, and Cale. "Where is he!?" Trunks demanded angrily.
"Who?" Kento shouts back as they get closer. Cye is nervous and now shaking. He tries to do everything to prevent the Ainos from seeing this.
"Sage! Where. Is. SAGE!"
"You look like you're ready for a fight. Well I'm here, fight me." Kento holds out is hands towards Trunks, "C'mon! How 'bout you!" He points at Piccolo. "Or maybe you!" He switches over to Cale. "Somebody FIGHT MMEEEEEEEEE!" Kento drops to his knees and buries his face in his hands. Trunks gets closer and slaps Kento with the back of his hand. The force sent Kento onto his butt, "Thanks…I needed that."
"I'm not here to fight you, Kento. Now where is Sage?" As if on cue, Sage pulls up in his car, and runs up to the group. "HA, there you are!"
"Uh, Trunks, how are you?" Sage begins nervously as Trunks advances towards him. "Nice day, huh?"
"Cut the idle chit-chat!" He roared. "I came here for one thing…and one thing alone: To kill your sorry—"
"Oh, you don't want to do that, after all I don't want to fight you anyway." Sage protested. "Why can't we all just be friends? How's that sound?"
"It sounds like a pathetic, cowardly, impudent—"
Sage holds his palms vertical out towards Trunks, shaking them from side to side, "Hey, now! My thing 'Manhood' works perfect. I don't know who told you bu—"
"I said IMPUDENT, not IMPOTENT!" Trunks grabs the hilt of his swords, and pulls it out from the sheath behind his back and holds it up to Sages' nose. "Now fight! And if you don't I'll have to kill you anyway." Pulls sword up over his head, "YAAAAAAH!" Sage shuts his eyes as the blade comes closer.
BANG! Sage opens his eyes, and sees that Kento's staff blocked Trunks' sword, "You won't be killing anybody today." Kento's eyes were piercing. Trunks grunted and pushed Kento back. Then ran forward with his sword ready.
"Somebody's gonna die today, and it won't be ME!" With several tactical maneuvers, Kento managed to get behind Trunks and broke his staff into three parts. He wrapped it around Trunks' neck, and squeezed hard. Trunks flailed helplessly, gagging for air.
"I-I…can't…breathe," Trunks managed to say.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Here, let me loosen up this for ya." Kento undid his staff and Trunks dropped to the floor, clutching his neck. He inhaled and exhaled deeply several times before standing up. Kento rearranged his staff back into one piece.
"You bastard! TAKE THIS!" Trunks gritted his teeth and sent an energy blast from his hand into Kento's stomach. Kento flew back into a nearby tree.
"Ujfdp," Kento mumbled something under his breath, and slowly got back up to his feet. "I'm okay. It's just a little scratch." Cye ran up to Kento and put one of Kento's arms over his shoulder. Kento broke away from Cye. Trunks, Cale, and Piccolo were staring at Kento staggering back and forth like a drunkard. "Noth…ing can…hurt me." He coughed up blood, and Cye turned away. The Ainos continued to stare and Sage joined in with them. "Like…I…" Cough, "said…I'm in-vince...able." Kento collapsed onto the ground near the tree and fell silent. The staff still in his hand vanished with an orange glow. The wind rustled the leaves as everyone sat quietly looking at the motionless body sprawled on the ground.
"I-I think we should leave," Cale suggested and led Trunks away by the arm. Piccolo turned and followed. Cye who was looking by now ran up to Kento to check his pulse.
"Sage…SAGE!" Sage came out of his daze, "He's dead." Tears welled up in his eyes and Sage ran over to Cye and Kento.
"WHYYYYYYY! WHYYYYYYY!" Sage took Kento's hand in his and just cupped it for a while. "He'll pay for this! HE'LL PAY!" Sage got up and headed for his car. Cye ran after him.
"You can't go and do this, Sage. You know you can't." He protested.
"Call 9-1-1, Cye."
"I'm not letting you go after him."
"I said, CALL 9-1-1! Sage pushed Cye out of the way and hopped in, started the car up, and drove off. A jungle of emotions reeled in Sage's head as he drove off in the direction that of Trunks' car. Sage ran a couple of red lights and stop signs before stopping in front of the Tokyo Tower. "Where is he?" Sage glanced in his rear view mirror, and saw what he thought was a car with the license reading 'AINOSRUL.' Sage put it in reverse and chased after the car. Sure enough Sage caught sight of Trunks' short-cropped purple hair. He also noticed that Cale and Piccolo weren't in the car with Trunks.
Sage turned the corner, taking a shortcut to block Trunks' path. Looks like 'Lady Luck' is luckily on Sage's side, because he turned another corner and saw Trunks parked at a red light. Sage grinned evilly as he sped up. He was four feet away from his opponent's car as he just started pulling forward at a now green traffic light. Three feet…two feet…one foot…BAM…CRASH…CRUNCH…SLAM!!! Sage rammed right into Trunks on the driver's side. Sage's car immediately stopped, but Trunks' toppled over twice before coming to a rest upside-down.
Sage got out of his car and calmly walked over to the turner over car. Trunks dizzy and dazed crawled out through the window. He saw Sage coming ever so closer to him, and a green light shot from Sage's palm, forming a no-dachi with a shuriken at its hilt. Trunks stood up to face Sage who was still coming forward. Trunks pulled out his sword and stood there, watching Sage. Sage stopped and there was a gap in between the two of them. Sage moved about until standing in a fighting stance, as was Trunks. They just stood there, and Sage noticed a tiny cut trickling blood down Trunks' face, but he didn't move.
Rain began lightly sprinkling down, and still they didn't move. Lightning flashed and thunder roared at the same time. (I guess that was the signal to begin.) Trunks jumped up high into the air and sliced downward. Sage rolled out of the way. Trunks got mad, clenched his fists at his side, and bellowed loudly, "YYAAHAAAAAAAA!" Trunks' hair went nearly straight up and changed from purple to bright golden blond.
Sage backed up and halted, "Take this!" Sage held up the blade of his sword near his now closing eyes. His sword shone brighter and brighter till the light blinded Trunks. Trunks stepped back and covered his eyes with the hand without the sword in it.
"Too bright." The light faded and Trunks' eyes began to adjust to the dim streetlights hanging above. Trunks frantically looked left and right, then felt a sharp pain behind him in his back. "Ah…ugh…oh…" Trunks stared down and saw the bladed end of Sage's sword sticking out of his stomach. Trunks looked forward then turned around to see Sage yank the sword back. Sage's sword began to glow a dark green color, then disappeared. Sage stepped back as Trunks first fell to his knees, then flat on his face. He twitched a little, then stopped moving all together. SSCREEEEEEAACCH!
Cye pulled up and saw what the outcome of the battle was. "Sage, get in. You have to get outta here." Cye led Sage into his car and he drove off as fast as he had come.
