He said it so easily, as if he were proclaiming his name, and not Vegeta's death. "And I wasn't kidding when I said I'd take three hours to kill you…" Vegeta continued to struggle furtively for a few seconds. "But not yet…no…I think we have a visitor!" Shais sent a smooth uppercut to Vegeta's chin, knocking him unconscious. Now what happened- you say -to Trunks? He was left sprawled upon the ground. Yet, as Shais and Vegeta fought, the hold began to weaken, and before long Trunks was able to move, then to stand, and to slink over closer to the battle. But now, his father unconscious, he decided to step in. "Ah, Trunks, how nice of you to join us!-" Shais turned woeful eyes to Vegeta, "But it looks like he won't be joining us anymore…" He glanced quickly over at Goku, and then back at Trunks, "Then again…soon, you won't be either." Trunks was trembling with pent up rage, too angry to talk, too mad to do anything but stare. Shais' eyes narrowed, "What are you doing!?" A few rocks started jumping around at Shais' feet whilst the sky slowly turned black as clouds disappeared. In one minor explosion, power surged and danced around Trunks rendering him super saiyajin. But it didn't stop there. Shais took a hasty step back and glanced around him at the objects being disintegrated in air. There was a loud ripping sound as the sky tore, and now Trunks' screams filled the air. All the while his power steadily growing. A tiny bead of pure energy fizzled off of Trunks and landed on Shais' arm. Silently, he watched it burn a tiny hole in his arm, before he flicked it decidedly away. With renewed curiosity, Shais patiently watched and waited for Trunks to finish. With one last huge pulse of energy, Trunks fell to his knees; head tilted back, the last of his screams fading away. But the new power still crackled angrily around him. His hair was darker, longer, his eyes nearly blue. "Hmm…and what uh level of power would you ca-" Shais fell backward clutching his chin. "Why you…" He threw off his cloak, exposing two long scythe like knives, both pure black and emitting a foul presence. They stood there for only a moment before disappearing in a mad whirl, both determined to kill the other. Not only did Trunks' hair change, but as did his speed and power. So what happened to the poor boy? Seeing Goku die, seeing Gohan absorbed, then seeing his father beat up to near death pushed him over the limits. He could no longer hold it in, the hatred and anger swelled up until it consumed him, transforming him into a killing machine. If you were going to be specific, and put his power into a level category, it would be roughly 2 ½. But they were so evenly matched in power, strength, and speed, that none could quite get the upper hand, so the battle went on in circles. Trunks only made one mistake throughout the battle that nearly took his life. He had Shais in a choke-hold, and it seemed as thought he would win, when Gohan's soft voice cut the silence, "Let go of me Trunks!" Trunks had faltered but kept his hold, "Trunks…Trunks it's me! Please Trunks…I…I can't breath!" Fooled by Shais' perfect imitation, Trunks quickly released Shais from his grip, only to be caught square in the jaw by Shais' fist. His vision grew quite bleary, and he would have blacked out if the rage in him had not built up and reawakened his fighting spirit. But since then, the fight took no turns in anyone's favor. Well…until now…Shais suddenly stopped in mid-punch, his arm fell to his side. The cold red eyes flickered and turned black, his silver-tipped hair fading. "T-Trunks…You have to kill him! You have to…have to kill me…I've got him-" Gohan reeled, then steadied himself and looked back up at Trunks, "I've got him under control…but he's too strong…you have to-" He retched, "You have to kill me now!" Trunks' mouth hung open in shock and horror. Had he known his best-friend was still alive in that body…Trunks shook his head, "I can't…just…just hold on for a moment longer, I'll find another way!" "Please Trunks…you have to…" Trunks' arm shook as he slowly raised it, but it stopped in mid-air, "But Gohan…" "DO IT NOW!"…
