Dragonball Destiny (Season 1)

Episode 03: Change of Heart

When Trunks regained consciousness he realized he was in a Rejuvination tank. He wondered how he got back at Capsule Corp. Vegeta had gone and found them when he felt their power drop. He closed his eyes and laid his head back. They healing liquid tingled against his naked skin and soothed any hurt or wound he had taken.

It was about an hour since Vegeta had brought them in and Gohan came in to check on them. He read a chart on the computer that told how they were doing and when they would be completely healed. It would take another hour or so for them both. Gohan looked into the tank and saw that the burn marks that were on them started to fade.

Capsule Corp. was a busy place in this day and age. Everyone was wanting to buy special suits to enhance their training for the big tournament that was coming up at the end of the month. "I loove tournaments. That's when the big bucks start rollin' in." She had said to herself. After her father died she agreed to run Capsule Corp. with as much effort as she could muster. Her mom was little help though, but she ran a bar and grill at the Capsule Corp. diner.

A faint beeping could be heard and Gohan got up from one of the tables in the dining area and ran up the stairs. He entered the room and pushed a button on the computer. One of the tanks started draining the water and soon opened. Trunks fell out and landed face first in the carpet. Slowly he regained consciousness. "Ugh... where... am I?" he muttered. Gohan picked him up and leaned him against the tank door.

"Trunks, it's me Gohan. You're at Capsule Corp." he said. Trunks' eyes slowly began to focus and Gohan was in front of him.

"Gohan? Ugh... How'd I get here? Last I remembered was... fire and that's it." Trunks put a hand to his head. "I've got the worst headache." he complained. Goten's tank started to beep and it scared Trunks making him fall forward. Being to tired to even move he just laid there mumbling something. Gohan pushed a red button next to the one he pushed earlier and that tank opened. He caught Goten as he began to fall forward.

"Five more minutes..." he mumbled and fell back to sleep.

It was another fifteen minutes before they were both awake and explaining what had happened to them. "So, you were attacked by these things called Elementals, and they controlled fire and water?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, they said they were here to destroy the world." Goten exclaimed.

"Typical." Gohan mumbled.

"What'd you say?" Trunks asked.

"Nothing, I'll go tell Vegeta about this, oh and I'll get you guys some clothes." Gohan stood up and shut the door behind him. Trunks laid back, still feeling a bit sleepy.

"Hey Goten." he said. "I wonder why Cascade and Flare came here in the first place? Why would they pick our planet to destroy?"

"I know what you mean." Goten replied. "It's a mystery." Gohan came back in the room and threw their clothes on the floor. They changed into them and headed down stairs. Gohan met them at the steps told them what Vegeta had said.

"Well you know Vegeta, 'It doesn't matter if they took out my child, they're no match for me,' was basically all he said. I just wonder where they're going to start their reign of chaos."

"Who knows." Trunks said, while tightening his orange sash. "But all I want to do now is train so that we can beat 'em. If he hadn't trapped me in that bubble I think we could 'a' taken them down. Don't you think Goten?"

"Definatly!" he said.

The two headed for Vegeta's training room that he had Bulma build inside Capsule Corp. It was an indestructible room that could go up to 500 times Earth's normal gravity. Trunks and Goten entered it and began to warm up on normal gravity. Then they switched it to 300.

The trained in there on 300 for about an hour, then they switched it to 400 and trained for about twenty more minutes before they couldn't go any further. They exited the training room and headed for the showers.

After they showered they came out and went to see how business was going down at the shop. Bulma was there at the register busily flipping out change, shouting orders to the employees and eating her lunch at the same time. Bulma saw the two boys and was glad that they were ok. She pointed them over to the diner and told them to get something to eat.

Once they ate they went outside to get a breathe of fresh air. They sat on bench that was connected to the actual building, Capsule Corp. The noticed Vegeta walking down the side walk heading they're way. "Hey dad! Where'd you go?" Trunks asked.

"For a walk." Vegeta said, not even paying any attention as he walked into Capsule Corp. Trunks sighed and put his hands on the back of his head and enjoyed the fresh afternoon breeze.

"Well Cade, what are we gonna do today?" Flare asked as they stood there hovering over a small village of people.

"Burn them to the ground Flare." Cascade said. Flare lifted his hands and thousands of fireballs formed. He threw down his arms and they all went flying like fiery hail down at the town. Screams of the people were heard by Flare as he slowly descended into the burning town. He walked along the street looking to his left and right. He stopped for a moment. His eyes widend. "Coral?" he said. He started walking to a little girl with long green hair and emerald eyes. She ran up to him.

"Please sir, save my mother and father, they're in that building." Flare frowned, but this girl reminded him of the way Coral died. Flare accidently set Coral's house on fire and her mother and father were trapped inside. Flare never used his powers for jokes or evil again, until his brother came and poisoned his mind. Flare grabbed his head. "Ah! That's not me!"

"Get outa there Flare!!!" Cascade shouted as he charged up for a huge water attack. He grabbed the girl and quickly set her aside while going to get her parents. Once he did, he set them down with the girl and flew back up to his brother.

Just as he teleported there, Cascade shot the beam and wiped out the whole town. A tear dropped from Flares face and he quickly wiped it away when Cascade turned to him. "Good job, that was done well." Cascade said.

"Whatever." he said, and turned and flew away.

"What's his problem?" Cascade said to himself, and followed him.
