Trunks Returns: Chapter II

Chapter two: The meeting of the Saya-jin

Capsule Corps building

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Things were a little hard to get used to, due to the name crisis. Mirai no Trunks was just called Trunks, and Trunks was Chibi-Trunks. Chibi Trunks argued however. Everyone in the Briefs family and Vegeta {technically, he's not a Briefs} were in the living room watching "Mortal Combat" on HBO when it was interrupted by a news bulletin.

"We apologize for interrupted this previously scheduled program to bring you a special transmission from an alien spaceship that was orbiting the earth. This clip has mild language, please remove any children from the room" Bulma shooed Chibi-Trunks and Bra out of the room while Vegeta rolled his eyes and growled at the TV for the transmission to start. As if in compliance to Vegeta's demand, the clip started. Vegeta had started drinking from his cup of water and looking over the rim. When he saw Ari- eya on the TV he choked and spat out the water he was drinking.

"what's wrong Vegeta?" said Bulma. Vegeta managed to sputter out

"Tha- that's a female saya-jin!!"

"Really? She's so beautiful!!! Well, I'm not surprised you went after me after being used to that." Bulma stated boldly while Vegeta pulled a face behind her back.

Trunks just sat there staring at the picture of Ari-eya. Then the clip got to the message...

"Eu ouvir que Principe Vegita do o planeta vegita esta aqui. Eu ouvir tamben que o filho do Kakaroto e aqui tamben. Eu precisa do seu ajuda. Eu vou ser em-"

Vegeta had been watching open-mouthed when Leana's scream transpired and he shut his mouth. The four of them {Mr. Briefs was there} watched in horror as Kioni murdered Leana and Mr. Briefs, Trunks, and Bulma all stared at Vegeta.

"She... she was speaking the royal language..." said Vegeta.

"Royal language?" said Bulma.

"Of the sayajin. What did she say her name was?"

"I think it was Ari-eya." Mumbled Trunks, a wistful expression on his face. {^_^ *hee hee* I'm wicked}

"Are you sure? Was it Ari-eya, or Aki-eya?"

"Yeah, it's Ari-eya. Why?" inquired Trunks. Vegeta smiled slightly and ignored Trunks' question.

"She wouldn't look that young if she was Aki-eya... she must be Aki's daughter... heh..."

"Who's Aki-eya?" asked Bulma, a slight hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Apparently that girl's mother. I was supposed to be Aki-eya's mate when I grew older. But her father, a general in my father's service, wouldn't hear of it. He took all of his most loyal followers, hijacked about fifty space-pods and disappeared... completely. Even Freiza couldn't locate him." He then stayed silent for a time, apparently thinking.

"Otousan? What did she say when she was speaking in that other language"

" She said, 'I heard that Prince Vegeta of the planet Vegeta is here. I also heard that the son of Kakaroto is here too. I need your help. I will be in-' and then she was cut off." The clip ended and the news lady came again and said,

"All people within the vicinity of the capsule corps building please evacuate! I repeat, please evacuate! The spaceship that sent NASA this message will crash-land near the capsule corps building!"

Bulma screamed and ran out of the room, she grabbed Chibi-Trunks and Bra, who were listening at the door, and ran into the basement closely followed by Mr. Briefs. Vegeta and Trunks ran out of the house, searching the skies. Trunks let out a yell and pointed at a little speck in the sky. Vegeta and Trunks flew towards it, hoping to be able to get on it, get the two girls, and get out before it crashed. They entered through the gaping hole Kioni had left in the side of the ship. Blood was spattered on the wall Leana was against, a streak of blood from Ari-eya's shoulder went from the wall to where she was lying. Trunks rolled Ari-eya over as gently as he could and picked her up, and Vegeta picked Leana up. They flew out of the ship and looked for a place where they could land, right after making sure the ship didn't hit their house or anyone, of course. They put the two on the ground in a small clearing.

"What should we do? Do we have any more senzu beans?" Trunks said quickly. Vegeta shook his head.

"I have an idea, well, two actually..." started Trunks. Vegeta sneered and said,

"Get on with it." Trunks flinched at the tone of his father's voice, but went on.

"One of us stays here and the other goes to Korin's. Either that, or one stays here and the other calls an ambulance... what do you think?" Ari- eya caused a slight diversion by waking, coughing up blood and trying to get up. Trunks knelt down and pushed her left shoulder gently so that she would lie back down.

"Calm down, we'll help you." He soothed. She coughed again and said,

"Leana... is she-?" Trunks felt no ki from the small girl's body, but resolved to wait until Ari-eya was a little better to tell her.

"Shh... stay here, don't try to get up." Ari-eya smiled slightly and closed her blue eyes gratefully. Trunks blinked. I thought she had brown eyes...

"Both." Grunted Vegeta. "Stay here, I'll get an ambulance then go to that baka neko's place."

Before Trunks could even nod his assent, Vegeta flew towards the house. Ari- eya groaned slightly and attempted to put her left hand onto her right shoulder. Trunks stopped her gently. Then he realized why she had been trying to put her hand on her shoulder; it was bleeding profusely. He took off his t-shirt and pressed it on the wound firmly.

{Trunks-kun shirtless.... *drools *............................*shakes her head, clearing the.... image* ahem... on with the story...}

She flinched again and opened her eyes, they were still blue.

"Wh-who was-"

"That was my otousan, he's the one you're looking for."

" They transmitted... Is Kakaroto's-"

"Yes, and we call 'Kakaroto' Goku here. No one calls him that except my otousan." Her eyes changed slowly from blue to pale green, her face was etched in

confusion. As the color was altering, Trunks gasped.

"How do you do that? I mean with your eyes." She smiled slightly, her eyes changing to a bluish-green.

"Ask your tousan." Her breathing began to relax and she was able to form full sentences instead of fragments.

"Why did you ask me to call Kakaroto Goku? I hadn't met him, I don't know him personally." Her eyes were now a vibrant green.

"Huh? I don't understand..."

"It's tradition that we call those who are not friends, or those we don't know by their formal names."

"Oh... makes sense, otousan never liked Goku." Her eyes switched back to bluish-green.

"What's your name?"

"Trunks Briefs." She giggled a little, and then winced. He frowned then said,

"Well your name isn't all that normal either..."

"Gomen-ne, Trunks-kun, I shouldn't have laughed." He stopped frowning, cheered by the fact that she didn't call him 'Briefs-sama'.

"Can you sense ki?"

"Hai...."

Trunks frowned. Why hasn't she realized her sister is gone yet? She must be too preoccupied with thoughts of that Kioni guy... They heard the sirens from the ambulances and could tell they were about two miles away. Trunks lifted his tee shirt from her shoulder to check on the wound.

"It stopped bleeding."

"Thank you for saving me and my sister." He frowned again as he glanced at the small girls' prone body.

"Shh.... just rest."

"But-" he put a finger to her scarlet lips and she stayed quiet. Both teenagers blushed slightly. I can't believe I just did that!!! Baka, baka, BAKA!!!

"Umm.... sorry...."

"It's ok. I need to get up. Please? Could you help me?" He glanced at her sister and sighed. Sooner or later... He picked her up and then set her on her feet. She swayed slightly and steadied herself, leaning on Trunks for support. Her eyes fell on Leana's body.

"Doushite-?.... Iie.... iie..." she whimpered. Trunks felt her knees buckle and wrapped his arm around her. Tears streamed down from cerulean blue eyes.

"I- I'm sorry...."

"Leana…she… she's gone…" her arms went slack, her eyes seemed to hold a vacant look in them.

"I'm sorry... I should have told you." He bit his lip, unnerved by her silence.

"It's not your fault..." She said, her voice hollow and dead. They stood in silence, tears coming like rainfall from Ari-eya's eyes. She stood straight, and seemed to be unaware of her surroundings. She pushed Trunks' arms away and wobbled to Leana's body. She fell to her knees, her sobs echoing through the clearing, and cradled her sister's body in her arms. Trunks looked at Ari-eya, unsure of what to do. He walked to her, paused, and kneeled down next to her. The ambulances pulled up, and attendants came out, viewing the scene before them with indifference. One man pulled Leana from Ari-eya and took her to an ambulance, another took Ari-eya into the other ambulance.
