Chapter 3 - Hidorakon's Attack
*-*-*
"Mom! I'm going to Goten's place! Be back later!" Trunks yelled through the front door.
A blue hared woman dressed in a lab coat came bounding through to say bye to her son. She had been working on the crashed space shuttle for a while and had discovered a red hair.
'She must have been trying to extract DNA,' Trunks thought to himself.
"Okay. Do you know when you'll be back?" Bulma asked.
"Uh... I'll definitely be back for lunch. Don't worry about that." Trunks replied.
"Right."
"Uh... Mom," Trunks started.
"Uh huh?"
"You found anything new? With the shuttle I mean."
"Oh, yeah! I managed to get a sample of DNA from that hair I found."
"You did?" Trunks said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"And you two were right. It's not human. But we know whatever it is it's mammal and possibly humanoid."
"That's pretty cool. Alright, I'll see ya later!" Trunks waved to his Mom before turning around and taking off into the sky.
"Bye, Trunks!" Bulma waved.
*-*-*
After about a minute of flying Trunks decided to slow himself down to conserve energy. This way he was given a chance to sense the new energy lurking in the air. The look of excitement in his face slowly began to fade. He could sense not one, two, nor three new energies, but fifteen or twenty odd. Two were very close by, but the others seemed faint and thousands of miles away. But they weren't human.
Now frowning in panic and confusion, Trunks stopped himself in the air and suppressed his ki as low as he could get it without plummeting to the ground. The highest one he was sensing seemed to be the closest, and it was getting closer. He frantically spun around; keeping watch for anything that could jump out from behind and attack. Then his eyes locked on to something in the distance. A red comet-like light travelling along the horizon.
Trunks didn't know whether to stay or flee. Whoever he or she was, they were strong and matched Trunks in power. Of course he could just go super saiyan, but what if this creature had a transformation of it's own?
Trunks saw the light pass him and he knew that, for now, he was safe. He had to tell Goten and the others about this. Or maybe they had already noticed...
*-*-*
Trunks landed softly on the ground near the entrance to the Son house. Looking around wearily, he made sure that no one was following. With so many new ki signatures, there was no telling when you were being followed. Slowly, Trunks walked up to the door and gave it a knock.
"Hey, Gohan!" Trunks greeted.
"Hi, Trunks." Gohan said, holding the door slightly ajar. The T.V. could be heard in the background and telling by the smell, Chi-Chi was cooking.
"Uh... Is Goten in?"
"Yeah. Hey, you wanna come in?" Gohan opened the door properly.
"Sure, thanks." Trunks stepped in and Gohan shut the door after.
...
'Finally... I will have revenge...' A tall armoured figure stood at the edge of the woods, watching the house. He seemed unemotional, but inside he was restless. 'You saiyans will pay for all the lives you've taken...'
*-*-*
"So... You saw someone flying?" Gohan lay back on his bed while tapping his foot to some music that was playing.
"Strange thing was... whoever it was... had a red aura. Weird, huh?" Trunks said.
"I'll say..." Goten gasped.
"Yeah, I only began to notice the energies a few minutes ago. How did you find them?" Gohan asked Trunks.
"I was flying... and they just... I dunno, they sorta appeared."
"Freaky! We should go look for them!" Goten stood up with a fire of excitement in his eyes.
"No way! They're strong, Goten. We should be careful." Trunks warned his friend.
"I don't think it's too serious at the moment. But we should inform everyone, just to let them know if they ever happen to discover the ki signatures." Gohan suggested. Everyone agreed.
"So, uh, we going, Goten?" Trunks asked.
"Yeah, okay."
*-*-*
At Karin's tower...
"It's nothing serious, but we think it would be best to take some senzu beans with us. Y' know, with the alien spacecraft and stuff..." Trunks explained to Karin.
Karin handed over a bag of senzus. "There should be enough for now. I still have some more, though."
"Thanks." Trunks took the bag.
"Yajirobe!" Goten called.
Yajirobe looked towards Goten. "Yeah?"
"Where's Davie?" Goten asked.
"He's with Debra!" Yajirobe said in his usual rude tone.
"Uh? Well... d' ya know when he'll be back?" Goten was disappointed that his friend wasn't around to train.
"I don't know!" Yajirobe had never got on well with his girlfriend Debra lately. Being a father is hard when you don't see your girlfriend any more but you both get to see your son.
"Aw... bummer!"
"Hey, Goten." Trunks gave Goten a friendly slap on the back. "We'll see if Kumyo and Soshiko are around."
*-*-*
Soshiko and Goten faced off on that all too familiar hill that the group had trained on for a year now. It was this time Soshiko's turn to show how hard he had been training with Kumyo the past week. Normally Trunks and Goten would train them a bit at the weekend, maybe teach them something new, then let them practice during the week in their spare time. And next weekend would be exciting, as both Trunks and Goten had agreed; Davie, Soshiko and Kumyo would learn the basics of bukujutsu.
But now they wanted to keep their mouths shut. They knew it would come as a pleasant surprise.
Soshiko wanted to show Goten how hard he had been training. But was a little concerned about what Kumyo would think. He had a feeling Kumyo was getting stronger than he was.
"Let's go, Soshiko! Let's see what you got!" Goten brought his fists up.
Soshiko glanced at Kumyo then gave Goten a smirk. He then charged at Goten who blocked a number of surprisingly fast kicks and punches. Soshiko's arms and legs were moving quite fast; definitely faster than probably any kid his age on Earth except for Kumyo. Knowing this could go on for a while, Goten decided to jump behind Soshiko and brought his leg under his feet, causing Soshiko to go crashing onto his side.
Before he could get back up, a ki blast flew by his head, narrowly missing him and exploding behind him.
Everything silenced. Goten was hovering in the air while Soshiko glared up at him.
"That wasn't fair! You said you wouldn't use energy!" Soshiko frowned.
"Hey..." Goten took a look around behind himself. "That wasn't me..."
Another moment of silence...
"We would have sensed something..." Trunks said, "... Whatever it was might have suppressed their energy, though..."
"Are you sure it wasn't you, Goten?" Soshiko shot another glare.
"Hey, I'm not lyin--" Goten was knocked out of the air by a small blur. He managed to hold himself in the air before he made contact with the ground.
"What the..." Trunks yelled.
Kumyo and Soshiko stared up, wide-eyed. There was nothing in the air from what they could see, that could knock Goten off balance except for a warm breeze.
Goten landed softly on the ground and looked around. He wasn't hurt at all, just surprised.
"You okay, Goten?!" Trunks asked.
"Yeah..." Goten was looking around the sky for any sign of life, but all he could spot were the birds.
...
There was an explosion of light and Trunks was sent flying backwards into a tree. He was surprised the tree hadn't snapped like a toothpick with that much force.
He looked up and saw the attacker. He could sense him, too. Everyone else stood back from the creature. He was dressed in strange armour and attached to the back of his hands were long sharp blades. He had red hair with eyes to match. He had a blue and yellow gem planted in the middle of his forehead and whisker-like antenna coming out of his forehead and behind his ears. Strange thing was, he didn't look one bit evil.
After catching his breath, Trunks quickly sprang up onto his feet. The alien spoke,
"You're saiyans, aren't you?"
Goten and Trunks' eyes widened as they gave each other a look of surprise.
"Hm... I thought so. I bet you're planning on destroying this planet, too, aren't you?"
"What... the... What're you talking about?" Goten asked.
"Don't give me any of that. I know what you saiyans are like--"
"Hey, pal! What right have you got to barge in on our fight?!" Soshiko barked, waving his hands in the air and storming towards the alien.
"Your time will come, saiyan." A hand was raised and Soshiko was thrown back with a weak energy blast.
"Soshiko!" Kumyo yelled as he ran to check his brother. Kneeling down he saw Soshiko was alright, but his clothes weren't. Jenny was gonna flip...
"What did you mean... saiyan?" Goten asked.
"His power level? Never noticed? And the fact that he hangs around you makes it all the more obvious."
"They're just our friends! Leave them outta this! They're not saiyan, we trained them!" Trunks yelled.
"You're training humans to help carry out your dirty work! They're slaves!"
Trunks' power began to rise with frustration. Clenching fists, he tried to control it.
"Hey, bud. Chill." Goten said, "Who are you?"
"I am Hidorakon. I am one of the greatest fighters of my race, the Kasaiens. A race you might have heard of... We all came from Planet Niiro." He then looked towards Kumyo and Soshiko. "We have a close connection to Humans and to Earth, and we will fight to protect them. We don't want them to suffer... suffer the same fate as most of my kind. Most of my race was eliminated by your saiyan kind. Only twenty four of us remain." Hidorakon lifted his head. "I want to get my revenge and see you suffer."
"Well there's only two saiyans left." Trunks said.
"All the more easier a task to destroy you, then. I know there'll be no one to come and save you."
"Oh, not us." Trunks crossed his arms smugly. "Were only half saiyan. Our Dads could take you out with one swipe."
"I don't care. It's time you four met your end!" With that Hidorakon withdrew his blades and charged towards Trunks and started barraging him with kicks and punches that Trunks had some trouble blocking.
"Goten!" Trunks yelled.
Goten turned towards the fight.
"Get Kumyo and Soshiko outta here! Now!"
Goten was hesitant as he could see Trunks was struggling, but he hadn't went super saiyan yet. He ran towards the brothers and snatched them up. They took off into the air.
