Chapter 18:Secrets of the Past

Zapland's Point of View







I watched as the two swords floated to each other,both glowing that strange white light.

"I can't believe we will get to see the Murasamune being formed before our very eyes!"Nono exclaimed.

"How did the two swords become separated?"I asked.

"At one point,it's owner had evil intentions,and one half of the sword didn't want others to come to harm if they were innocent.But the other half craved for war and destruction,because it had become one with owner.So the sword split,one with the power to do evil,and the other with the power to stop it.The legend said that if one put the two in a pond,lilies would gather around the Masamune and never be harmed because of it's holy power,but eventually they would float down stream to the Murasame and gather around it,only to be sliced in half.But if one were to defeat the other,they would rejoin once again.If the Murasame won,it would become an evil blade,but if the Masamune won,it would become the sword with the power to strike down all evil.But the swords don't have any power themselves, they just get stronger depending on the owner.It's basically all the power from within the owners is drawn into the swords as they fight one another,so the one who's owner has the strongest will wins,"the silver beast explained.

"Wow...So Ray's will is stronger than Zaffiroth's?"Sarah questioned.

"Precisely,"Nono replied.

"Hm...Brother,you have gotten stronger in the past nine years,"I said,looking at the unconscious body of Ray.

"Perhaps we should take him somewhere to rest.That attack took everything out of him,"Skye stated.

"Shut up,Skye.I'm not gonna' stay down long."

Ray jumped to his feet and dusted himself off.The sudden movement had surprised most of the others,except Trunks and myself..

"Good to see that you are okay,"Nono said,"Look over there."

Ray looked to where Nono had motioned.It was where the two swords were combining.

"Woah..."was all he could say.

After a momentary flash of light,a new sword floated in the air in front of us.It was nearly identical to the Masamune but had a longer blade,and something was inscribed in it.

"'Seiken'?What does that mean?"Ray asked.

"Where I'm from...Seiken means 'Holy Sword',"Trunks said.

"Yes.That is the mark that proves the Murasamune is a Holy Sword,"Nono stated.

The sword floated in Ray's grasp and stopped glowing.He swung it a few times and a satisfied smirk came onto his face,"At least it's lighter and easier to use than the Masamune."

"We should head to the others and tell them of our victory here,"I said.

"Yeah,I guess so,"he agreed.

-----

"Where have you guys been?"Jessie asked.

"Well,first we started to feel like something was going to happen,then Zaffiroth showed up and challenged us,we fought the Murasame and won this time.You'll have to talk to them for the rest,I passed out from the pressure of it all,"Ray replied.

"After Ray destroyed the Murasame,Zaffiroth told us that if we want to fight,we should head west,across the ocean,and disappeared.Then the Masamune and Murasame joined to form the Murasamune,the true Holy Sword.And here we are,"Sarah finished.

"So...You guys actually beat the Murasame?"Alia questioned.

We nodded.

"My father tried to a long time ago.At least,that's what he told me.He's actually the one who made the Murasame,and sent it back in time so it could cause destruction in the past,"she said.

"WHAT!?You mean,the Murasame is actually a time traveling sword?"Ray asked.

"Yes...This is the year that my father sent the Murasame back in time.I didn't want to have to tell you this yet but...My father is Zaffiroth,"the blonde girl said.

"But,that would make you our..."I started.

"...Sister..."Ray finished.

"I guess there's a lot I have to explain.You guys might want to sit down.Everyone else,could you leave?Except you,Sarah.This involves you too.And Trunks,you may as well hear it out too,since Ray will probably tell you through your dimensional link anyway,"Alia said.

"But,how did you..."Ray and Trunks both said.

"Just wait,okay?Everyone else,this will be a lot easier if we tell you later,"she stated.

Everyone left and silence filled the air.It became eerily tense as well.

"You see...Nobody in this room right now is human,completely at least,"Alia said,glancing at Trunks.

'What?Not...human?'I thought.

"Trunks is from another dimension,but he's also a Saiyan.A race full of extremely powerful fighters that eventually became mercenaries.Even though he's very kind,his roots come from a savage race that no longer exists.He is the last one.The rest of us are like him,but our race was never savage.At least,not AS savage.We are Tororins,from the now destroyed planet Tororo.Our planet was destroyed by war,supposedly.I've never been quite sure of the facts.But none of us were there at the time.A man named Borory sent the three of you here,to Earth.I'm not sure why he sent you,Sarah,but he had a rivalry with our father,the king of planet Tororo,Zaffiroth.So he sent you two here for revenge.Zaffiroth followed but never found you.Sarah,you were found by a couple in the mountains.I guess they never told you..."Alia started to explain.

We sat there,absorbing all of this new information all at once.

"How...How can this be...I've always wondered why I was so different from everyone else,but...Not like this,"Ray said.

"I,too,have wondered why we were stronger than the other people of Spyroton,"I stated.

"You two are now Super Tororins,"Alia continued,"Ten times more powerful than normal.Zaffiroth was never the kindest man,or king.He created the Murasame and he's why everything has come down to this."

We all looked down at the floor,trying to sort it all out.

"I'll leave you alone so you can talk,"Alia started to walk out the door,but Ray grabbed her by the wrist.

"Ali...Sis,why now?Why all of a sudden like this?"he asked.

"Because...I thought you might want to know who you really are,"she replied.

Trunks stood up,"I'll leave you guys alone,I'm sure you have much to discuss."

He and Ray looked at each other for a second and seemed to have a mental conversation.Trunks nodded and left the room.
