DETERMINATION OF A GIRL
PT. 7
In the last part, Mimi's wounds had just about completely healed and both Trunks and Mimi had a few embarrassing encounters with each other. Outside the chamber, Bulma told ChiChi where Mimi and Trunks really were. ChiChi flipped and ordered her to bring Mimi home. Bulma returned to her home and demanded Vegeta to get the two back.

Mimi stood in Super-Saiyan mode, shivering, with her eyes closed in the training area. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber had produced mountains of ice around her. She was dressed in the warmest clothes she brought: Black leggings with a short, purple skirt on top, red singlet top, purple boots and purple gloves which were pulled up almost to her shoulders. Why didn't I bring a sweater, or at least a long sleeved t-shirt, she thought.
Suddenly, Trunks appeared in front of her, also in Super-Saiyan, swinging his right leg up to her head. She blocked it with her left arm. They stood there grinning evilly at each other, as if a video had been paused. Then they both disappeared and re-appeared in the air, attacking each other furiously, neither of them getting any hits in. This went on for a while before Mimi flipped backwards. They stood staring at each other again.
"Why don't we turn it up a notch?!" Trunks suggested.
"Fine by me," Mimi replied.
Trunks began his transformation to his ascended form. He began to yell as electricity sparked around him.
"What?" Mimi asked herself. "Oh shit! NO FAIR TRUNKS," she yelled.
Trunks' muscles began to enlarge, tearing his Capsule Corp jacket, making it fall to the ground. Mimi looked on in confusion. She didn't know what to do until she decided to summon the Kamehameha. She pulled both her hands close to her right hip.
"Ka…me…ha…me…"
Trunks continued to bulk up, his pupils disappearing.
"HAAAAA!!!!" Mimi screamed as she threw the powerful energy beam at Trunks.
Trunks quickly threw one of his own ki blasts. The two beams collided with a loud 'boom.' They both pushed their blasts but it was clear that Trunks was gaining the upper hand. Mimi gave one last push, giving it her all, which gained her the advantage. Seeing this, Trunks gave a push showing again that he was stronger. Before the blast could hit Mimi, she growled and leapt out of the way. She dropped her guard and transformed back to normal, knowing that she was no match for the ascended Super-Saiyan. Trunks did the same.
"That wasn't fair Trunks," she said.
"Cool move huh?! You wanna learn?!" he asked
"Hell yeah," cried Mimi gleefully.

Vegeta flew angrily over the City in his Saiyan combat suit. He didn't like the thought how he had to give up his sleeping time to bring back the two teenagers and the fact that love was blossoming between them. He suddenly stopped in mid flight.
"Huh?" he asked himself.
He could feel two very powerful energies, with one of them overpowering the other. He decided to track down the source of the power. Yes! Maybe I can have another challenge, he thought excitedly.
After some time, Vegeta began to see a trail of destruction. There was no life at all. The power became very strong. He was close. Vegeta began to descend, following the rubble.
"What the fuck?!" he asked himself.
On a desolate island, he saw a man of average height with orange-coloured skin. He didn't look strong at all but the power Vegeta sensed was great. A few meters away from the orange man was Gohan? Yes, he was standing in a fighting stance in Super-Saiyan mode. Vegeta landed next to Gohan.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Vegeta demanded.
"Why, who is this?" asked the stranger.
"Who the hell are you," asked Vegeta angrily.
"His name is Neo. From planet Jova," said Gohan. "I was on my way to the village to get some things for my mother when I found this guy blowing up everything. I stopped him in the middle of his destructive frenzy and told him that I would defeat him."
"Jova? Never heard of it. What on Earth does he want?" asked Vegeta.
"I want to destroy this planet. It's a hobby of mine," answered Neo. "So please, introduce yourself."
"Gladly. I am Vegeta, prince of Saiyans."
"Oh what a shame, seeing that the are only a handful of you left. How do you feel Vegeta, being the weakest of the surviving Saiyans? And you call yourself a prince?" asked Neo casually.
"Why don't you come over here and say that!" yelled Vegeta.
"How do you know so much about us?" asked Gohan.
"The whole universe knows about the deadly androids and the heroes who saved Earth. I just had to see you all for myself."
Just then, Krillen arrived with Yamcha.
"Gohan, Vegeta. What's going on here?" asked Krillen as they landed.
"Yeah, we could sense a huge power!" exclaimed Yamcha.
Before anyone could say anything else, Tien and Chioutzu landed.
"You guys felt it too?" asked Yamcha.
"Yeah we did," replied Tien.
Gohan filled them in on the information he gathered already. The Z fighters stared at Neo.
"You are missing three more fighters. Goku's dead so that leaves you with two," said Neo.
"And Trunks wasn't of this time. He came from the future to help out but went back after Cell was destroyed. So that leaves us with one, Piccolo," said Krillen.
"No Krillen. Trunks is back. He came back yesterday to tell us that he destroyed the androids in his time as well. He's training Mimi in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as we speak," replied Gohan.
"What?" asked Yamcha.
"Well if Mimi has trained hard, that leaves us with three again," said Tien.
"Oh? Trunks is from the future? So how old is today's Trunks. And who is this Mimi?" asked Neo.
"You'll find out soon enough!" yelled Krillen.
"Oh do tell me now, I am quite curious," said Neo.
The Z fighters stared at him in anger.

Three months passed in the Chamber. Trunks had worked out what he did wrong when he tried to turn Super-Saiyan 2 when fighting Cell. He mastered it then taught Mimi. These two ascended Saiyans became close friends over the three months even though Trunks had some feelings for her. Mimi noticed this and came to the conclusion that it was brotherly love, but Trunks knew that it was much more.
Mimi was proud of herself for becoming a Super-Saiyan and having the ability to reach the next level. She imagined what her father would say, which made her wish that he was still alive to see her accomplishment.
"Hey Trunks, you think that you could trim my hair?" asked Mimi as they sat at the table eating lunch.
"Yeah I suppose. But you have to cut mine too ok?"
"Yeah alright, but I like it long."
Trunks looked up, smiled, then looked down again.
"Hey we could come out a bit earlier couldn't we?" asked Mimi.
"Well we have done what we came here to do. We'll take another month. That would mean that we would spend almost half a year in here."
"Cool, that's alright," replied Mimi.
The sooner the better! I wanna see the looks on everyone's faces when they see what I can do.
