Chapter 22:It's Not Over!?
Trunks's Point of View
I could feel all of the power just outside the ship.It made me tremble it was so strong.Not even the Androids or Cell could compare to this awesome power.Finally,the boat stopped rocking and the sea calmed down.
"Man...What happened out there?"Cirrus asked.
Ignoring his question,I walked onto the deck and gasped at what I saw.Ray was surrounded by a dark orange aura that resembled a fire,his hair was a darker orange than before,and his eyes were now darker than the night sky.
"Is everyone okay?"he asked,his voice void of all emotion.
"Yeah..."I replied.
"How much longer 'till we reach land?"
"The Captain said it should only take about an hour after that speed boost we gave the boat."
"..."
"..."
"Tell the others to be prepared for anything."
He walked up to the wheel where the Captain was and I could hear him say,"Don't tell anyone what you saw today."
The Captain muttered something that not even my Saiyan ears could pick up.I walked to the hull and told the others what Ray had said.
-----
"Finally,we're in Termina!"Alia exclaimed in a cheerful voice.
"Let's just get to an inn.We all need some rest after...what's happened,"Ray said.
He had still not dropped out of Super Tororin,and his mind was veiled.I tried over and over again to hear his thoughts,but there was nothing.I could understand how he felt,though.It hadn't even been a month since he learned he had a brother,and already,that brother was gone.I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
We got to an inn and paid twenty zeal to stay the night.Then we all headed to our rooms.This inn was a lot fancier than the one in Spiral City.There was a lamp made of gold in the corner of my room and the table in the middle had jewels outlining it.I could hear someone talking through the wall.
"Zapland had something to tell you,"it was Ray's voice.
"What was it?"that was Jessie.
"He told me that...he loved you."
"WHAT!?You mean...But,he never even...And now he's..."
"He seemed sincere when he said it.He also asked me to protect you...Which just makes things harder on me.Because now,not only do I feel like I have to protect Sarah,but I promised to protect the love of someone else too."
'And I feel like I have to protect Ashley,'I mentally added.
"Can you just...leave me alone for right now?"
"Of course."
I heard a door open and close,then the nearly silent sobbing coming from Jessie's room.I wished I didn't have my Saiyan hearing then,or that I could do something to calm the crying girl that was only a room away.It left me with a sense of helplessness,a feeling that I had come to hate.First with the Androids,then Gohan's death,then Cell,and finally,when Cell's blast had pierced my chest.I brought my hand up to where the wound would be.
'I'm glad we could use the Dragonballs.But in this dimension,we can't...The people that are hurt or completely destroyed can't be wished back without memories of what happened,'I thought.
There was a knocking at the door.
"Who is it?"I asked.
"It's Ashley."
"You can come in."
The door opened and the beautiful blonde girl walked in.
"So...What happened back there?"she asked.
"On the ocean?"I questioned.
She nodded.
"Well...We tried to attack Zaffiroth head on,and it didn't work.Then Skye showed up and put Zaffiroth in some sort of barrier.Ray slashed at it about twenty times,but it didn't have any affect at all.That's when Zapland grabbed Zaffiroth from behind and told us to hurry away.We did and...Zapland self destructed,taking Zaffiroth with him,"I explained.
"Hm...Not quite."
I gasped and drew my sword,standing protectively in front of Ashley as I glared at the silver haired man.
"How can you be alive!?"I demanded.
"Because I allowed it."
I gasped again as a black haired man appeared next to Zaffiroth.
"Zapland...But,you..."I trailed off.
"What's going on?"
The door opened and Ray stepped into the room,his hair still spiked up and orange.He immediately growled.
"I thought you were both dead,"he said.
"Well,we're here now,"Zaffiroth said.
"How is that possible?I saw the explosion!"Ray exclaimed.
"It was a trick,brother.A trick that worked,"Zapland replied,his voice the same as before,cold and emotionless.
"Each of you will face a test,then you must come to the city of memories,"Zaffiroth held out a hand and a blue energy started to gather.
The next thing I knew,everything went dark.
Ending Notes:"Again,thank you Riku.I bet no one saw the twist coming in this chapter....Actually,when I wrote it,I didn't even see it coming.The next chapter will be out Saturday.Please review.And,once again,thanks Riku."
