~~*~~*~~*~~

Anger. Pain. Fury. Sorrow.

That's all he felt when her heart stopped beating.

Trunks stared down at the lifeless form in his arms, rocking her back and forth.

Gohan laid a hand on his shoulder, trying his best to comfort the pained boy from the future.

Trunks didn't move for a minute.

Then he slowly laid Catie's body gently onto the ground.

Lindsey ran over and kneeled by her friend as did Sabriena.

Trunks stood up and turned to face Radmis.

He had only fought the girls.

He hadn't fought a Super Saiyan yet.

Gohan grabbed him by the wrist, " We should go get ours dads", he whispered.

But Trunks paid no attention to him.

Leelee looked at Seventeen. No way was Trunks getting all the action.

Seventeen was taken aback. 'What the hell does Leelee think she's doing?! I knew it...she wants me dead...yup...' Leelee was mad.

Seventeen had never seen her mad before and it made him uneasy.

But at the moment, Leelee wasn't thinking about uneasiness.

She was thinking about whether Radmis should be blasted to pieces or tortured.

She liked the second choice better.

Trunks felt his pain turn into a boiling rage.

He wasn't going to let this idiot get away with what he had done, "I'll fight you."

Trunks' hair turned gold and his eye's turned green.

Radmis laughed, "I'm shaking in my boots, kid."

"You will," Trunks growled dangerously.

He charged Radmis at full force.

'This is too easy. One by one I'll have my revenge!' Radmis grinned as he ducked under Trunks' attack, "You'll go down just like your girlfriend!"

Trunks' eyes went wide at the mention of Catie and he jabbed a punch into Radmis' face, stomach, and a kick to the groin.

All in the space of a heart beat.

Leelee turned around and punched Seventeen.

She wanted to fight!

Seventeen looked at her and rubbed his shoulder, "I'm sorry?" he said uncertainly.

Leelee just shook her head.

Seventeen wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "You'll get your chance. This guy won't be beaten so easily. Just let Trunks blow off some steam."

He kissed her lightly on the cheek as she nodded and looked back to Trunks who had ki blasted Radmis a few yards away.

Trunks landed on the ground a few feet away and watched the cloud of dust fade.

Maybe he killed the guy.

But a cruel laughter came through the cloud. "Is that all you got, weakling? You're girlfriend fought better!"

Suddenly a red energy beam came through the dark and hit Trunks, sending him flying backwards.

He slammed into the rock and lay for a moment, stunned.

His body ached.

Each cell and every fiber in his being screamed to be left alone, but he ignored their cries of pain.

He stood with difficulty and faced Radmis....only to be knocked down once again by two more powerful blasts.

Gohan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Trunks blacked out and his eyes glazed over.

He barely managed to maintain contiousness, his head spun.

He could make out his opponent faintly and dread filled him as Radmis spoke, "You are pathetic. I should have known this was all a fluke. Say hello to your girlfriend for me." And at that he lifted his hand up, palm out facing his battered rival.

...Suddenly a gust of wind and a loud boom made their way to his muddled brain and he realized he wasn't dead.... yet.

With all his strength he managed to crack open his eyes and he saw in shock, his father's face directly above him.

He looked to his right and could vaguely see Goku standing with his hands out, just finishing his kamehameha wave.

Trunks could feel himself being ever so gently lifted up by his father and he groaned in pain.

"Sshh", he barely heard. "You're going to be fine. You've had worse."

He was laid down and he stared up at Vegeta helplessly, "Gone", he whispered.

Vegeta looked in confusion at his son, "What's gone?"

Trunks swallowed the lump in his throat, "Jenny, Ca..Catieand Piccolo."

Vegeta's heart skipped a beat, but before he could speak an evil voice cut through his thoughts, "How sweet. Daddy's come to save the day. Too late for daddy's little girls, though. Lights out for them."

Radmis grinned wickedly at Vegeta who kneeled by Trunks' side, "Of course, I probably did the world a favor. They were so disrespectful."

Vegeta shook with anger, "I'm sorry, Trunks."

He turned his attention away from his son and rose to his feet to stand by Goku.

His power level leaped and his hair turned a searing gold, light exploding out of him.

"Cute", Radmis remarked. "But do you want to see real power?"

Vegeta smirked in mockery, "Why not, you murderer?"

Radmis sneered, "I am no murderer. I have only come for a well deserved revenge and I will do anything to get it."

"Even if it means killing innocent teenaged girls!?"

"They weren't innocent! They killed my sister!"

Sabriena raised her hand and waved, "Um, excuse me. Correction! Your sister CHOSE her death, moron!"

At that, Radmis's eyes glowed brighter and faster than Sabriena could see, he disappeared and came in front of her, punching her in the stomach, turning stealthily and kicking Lindsey who had tried sneaking up on him.

Gohan fired a kamehameha, giving them precious seconds to recuperate. Sabriena sat slowly up, her stomach churning.

Gohan lifted Lindsey up by the hand and looked her over quickly.

Seventeen and Leelee went to attack Radmis while he was distracted.

They might have a better chance that way.

Seventeen reached him first and kicked him, flipping the man over.

But he got up immediately and threw a pulsing ball of energy straight at Leelee. Seventeen grabbed her and pulled her out of the way, but the shock wave of it washed over them, launching them backwards to the edge of the cliff.

Leelee hung on for life, her legs dangly helplessly in the air.

She looked down and swallowed a cry as she saw the thrashing waves below.

She felt a slight weight on her and turned to see Seventeen curling an arm around her and hoisting her up over the ledge, pulling himself up after her.

Leelee aimed a gust of wind at the disgusting creature and fired, knocking him down, but at the very same time hitting Lindsey, throwing her back and over the cliff's ledge.

"Lindsey!!" Gohan cried.

He went to go after her, but was slammed to the ground as was his father.

Lindsey screamed in terror as she fell.

She couldn't die. Not yet. Not now!

Out of nowhere she felt a pair of slender arms wrap themselves around her waist and suddenly her rapid descent stopped.

She cautiously opened her tightly closed eyes and looked around in confusion.

And she gasped.

There, looking over her shoulder, was Jenny.

Lindsey's jaw dropped and she stuttered in utter shock, "You....you're...d-d-dead!"

Jenny was standing on a spiral of water that spewed out from the ocean beneath them, suspended in mid air. "No I'm not", she said lightly. "I'm right here. Alive and kicking. Saving your butt!"

Above them, where the battle raged on, they heard a familiar voice shout, "Special Beam Cannon!"

Lindsey's eyes went wide.....

PICCOLO!
