1 Chapter 17: End to the Fighting
Trunks eye's fluttered open, just as the wind started to pick up. *Good, I haven't missed anything* he smiled. As he watched the 2 women, he noticed that 18 had a busted lip and Marron was gashed up pretty well. Suddenly the ground began to tremble. Trunk looked at the two females that were locked in a heated staring match. He was amazed at how powerful his girlfriend was. As far as he could tell, she was slightly stronger than Gohan was before the 2 androids killed him.
As he sat watching, the wind began to kick up dust, which in turn formed a giant dust cloud that focused right around those 2.
"Shit!!" he cursed when the debris blocked his vision. "Oh well, I can still used Marron's ki to help me watch the fight." Then that too disappeared.
"Do you hate me?!" he screamed towards the sky.
When he got no response of any sort he turned his attention back towards the cloud just in time to duck out of the way of an oncoming blast. "I'm glad they use those little blasts rather than those big ones. Knock on wood." He smirked as he tapped a piece of fallen branch beside him.

They all watched intensely, as the smaller blonde was almost holding her own against the android.
"She's a powerful fighter. I am glad that she is on our side." Krillin said, shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she was his daughter with the woman she was striving to kill right now. "I've got to go help her!" He exclaimed as he began to fly down to the battlefield, but Tien got in his way. "Your in my way! Move, I have to go help Marron." He said looking up at his three-eyed friend.
"Krillin, you will just end up in her way."
The short man looked down at his feet. "But I feel like I need to be down there. 18 isn't her enemy. She's ours yet Marron is still down there risking her life while we all sit up here. I can't stand it."
"I understand, but she can handle it. From what I have seen with her, although it is not much, I know that she will always have one more card up her sleeve. That's why I'm not worried about her."
Krillin sighed. "I'll stay but if anything horrible happens to her I am going down there."
The remaining fighters agreed that they would join him.
"At least she is still fighting and hasn't given up. Although her body is ready to go, the fight in her isn't done yet." Dende said almost inaudibly. Bulma looked over at him. Although she never really fought a day in her life, she seemed to be the only one who heard the guardian say that. *That means that it fight is almost over and she isn't very likely to win* Bulma thought disappointedly.
"Now I never said that, Bulma." Dende said as he looked at the scientist.
"But that is what you are inferring."
"Just watch. You'll be surprised at what you may see."

Marron grunted as she pulled herself off the ground. She almost didn't have the energy left to do this simple task. She was loosing blood from every wound on her body and every time she moved, her body screamed in pain. She had never felt this sort of pain when she fought before. * This means my body is ready to give in. But that will not happen. I won't give up because of all the lives she has taken.*
She looked around. "Where the hell did you go this time?" Almost instinctively she turned and shot a blast, relying on her hearing to tell her if she hit the target. Nothing. A wasted shot. Not far off, she heard 18's breathing. Taking this opportunity she flew towards the noise and kicked. She smiled as her foot found its target spot.
"It's not nice to attack when your opponents back is turned." 18 snickered.
Using her hands, Marron found that she had hit a small boulder. Straining to hear any noise, Marron heard her mother walking away. The dust was beginning to get so think Marron was having a hard time breathing. But with no intent on letting her get away, she began to walk behind her. Every time 18 stopped, so did Marron. This game went on for several minutes, till one time Marron didn't stop.
"What's wrong? Did you lose me?" 18 mocked.
"Nope."
18 ate dirt. Quickly Marron pinned her down against the hard Earth. Then she grabbed her mothers' hair and pulled back so that 18 could clearly hear every word she was about to say.
"Don't worry mother. I'm going with you." Marron hoarsely whispered.
