Trunks The Schoolboy
Secret revealed, Trunks heads for his end
4/12/02

Trunks watched his opponent closely. Devastator smiled and put his hands in the air as a sign that he wasn't going to hurt Trunks.
"You are probably wondering why I am so confident aren't you?"
Trunks didn't reply. Devastator put his hands down and turned to the side, he raised one hand and fired a small blast into the distance. This shocked Trunks.
"How does he know how to control his energy?" he asked himself.
Devastator turned back to face Trunks. His content smile transformed into a sly smile.
"I'm going to kill you now!"
Devastator clenched his fists and began to power up. Trunks watched as he could feel his enemy's power begin to rise rapidly.
"He could be stronger than me!" Trunks exclaimed inside his head.

Using some of her little remaining energy, Mamiko raised her head to see what was going on, she noticed Devastator.
"Trunks-s... Trunks-sama."
Trunks turned to Mamiko.
"Rest. You have to rest, I can take care of this myself!"
Devastator reached his full power and he was now stronger than Trunks. Trunks was just about to power up too when the ringing of the school bell filled the area.
"Damn! I was looking forward to splattering you!"
Devastator relaxed his power and then turned to leave.
"I'll let you go to your lessons for now, but I'll be waiting for you after school!"
With that Devastator took to the air and RS ran back into hiding. Trunks turned to Mamiko and lifted her of the ground; he collected his jacket and flew into the air, not caring about school anymore.

At Capsule Corp. Bejita was, as usual, training in the Gravity Room. Bulma was back in her lab for the first time in ages and Bra was still asleep, worn out after her prior day of fun. Trunks landed outside and ran in through the door, still carrying Mamiko in his arms.
"Tousan!"
Bejita heard his son's call and rushed out of the Gravity Room, not because he thought there was something wrong but to find out why his son wasn't in school.
"What are you doing here Trun..."
Bejita didn't finish his sentence because he noticed Mamiko's injuries. He told Trunks to take Mamiko to his mother in the lab. When Trunks returned he explained to his father.
"Nani? Are you saying that there is somebody stronger than you hanging around the city and a member of his gang did that to Mamiko?"
Trunks nodded, a frown coming to his face.
"It's all my fault, I could have helped her but I just froze and watched as he did that to her! I'm such a fool, go on Tousan, you can say it."
There was no reply from Bejita, he was still in shock from finding out about their new rival. Trunks clenched his teeth and fists. All of a sudden he jumped to his feet and ran towards the door shouting, "I'm gonna get him for this!"
"Trunks! Yameru! You cannot win; I will take care of him. Give me some time to get my armour on and we'll go together, that way we can't lose!"
Trunks nodded, he decided to put his Saiya-jin armour on too.

Bra awoke from her sleep and bounced down the stairs to see what her mother was up to. She found her mother treating Mamiko. Trunks and Bejita came to the top of the stairs and told Bulma where they were going, Mamiko heard too and called to Trunks, "get him for me Trunks-sama... I wish I could help you."
Trunks nodded and with that he and his father set off to find Devastator.

Devastator was waiting outside the school gates, checking every kid that passed by. Bejita and Trunks calmly landed across the road and waited for Devastator to notice them. They weren't forced to wait long, Devastator noticed Trunks out of the corner of his eye and barged his way through the crowds of kids to get to his foe. He noticed Bejita and grunted.
"Why did you bring your daddy? Are you scared?"
Bejita growled at Devastator and sensed his power level. He turned to his son and shoved him to the ground.
"Kawai sou! You wasted my time to fight with a power like him? He's level 5, average for a worthless human like him!"
Bejita, angry and disgruntled, headed back home to do some 'worthwhile training,' leaving his son to face Devastator alone. Devastator got the same grin on his face as he had before the school bell had interrupted him.
"So, you didn't go to your lessons," Devastator said slowly, shaking his head as if in disgust, "naughty boy."
Trunks was angered by the fact that his father had abandoned him and also by the fact that Devastator was being so cocky.
"What are you saying? You probably haven't been to school for years!"
Devastator laughed, amused by the fact that Trunks was ignoring his sarcasm. He sighed and then spoke, in a soft voice, "I'm going to have to kill you as your punishment for breaking the law."

Instantly, Devastator's power level shot from 5 to an untraceable level, which exceeded that of Trunks by a long way. He didn't take long to get behind Trunks and send him flying into the middle of the crowd. A few kids were knocked unconscious after being hit by the speeding missile named Trunks. A trickle of blood came to Trunks' cheek as he rose to fight back. Unfortunately, Devastator was already waiting for him and he was quickly slammed back into the hard tarmac of the road. The fight had barely begun when the usual scurry of teachers came to halt the two 'thugs.' Devastator grinned. He didn't see teachers coming towards him, instead his insane mind showed him target practice heading in his direction.
"A little warm up will do me well!"
Devastator fanned his hands in front of his face, one before each eye. He then proceeded to use the power of the Sun's light to blind the teachers using the Solar Flare technique. He followed that trick up with an immense ball of ki, an unstoppable force for neutrals.

Trunks got to his feet in time to see the demise of the teachers, some of them his own teachers.
"Sensei!"
Trunks' call was useless; he could help in no way at all. Devastator was enjoying himself and decided to search for some extra targets, he didn't realise that Trunks had returned to a fighting state. As Devastator searched the surrounding area Trunks pounced, firing some of his strongest ki blasts at his opponent. Devastator effortlessly smacked the ki back towards Trunks, not allowing them to stop his search. Trunks frantically blocked his own backfired attacks and he began to show signs of tiring.

Bejita floated in mid-air, the true power of Devastator had just reached him and he was embarrassed by the fact that he had made a misjudgement and left his son, his own flesh and Saiya-jin blood, to die
"Ku... sooo!"
Bejita was drawn into battle; his black hair became golden and flowed like a raging river, as his body was surrounded by an aura of a colour to match his hair. The prince's power level became almost as large as that of Devastator as he launched his body towards his new archrival.


Trunks is down and almost out, can 'Tousan' help him before his time ends or will Devastator claim Trunks' life and make Bejita pay for abandoning his own son?
