Third Person
"Where is he...?"Ray growled.
"A Dragon!Everyone run!!!"someone shouted,grabbing a small child and running as far away as he could.
Draco looked around,a half confused,half bemused expression on his face.The people of Spyroton were obviously afraid of him.
"Good.That means I can go all out without worrying about injuring other people,"Ray said.
"Hello,son."
They all turned around to face Zaffiroth and Zapland.
"It is about time you got here,brother.I have waited so long for this moment..."Zapland snarled.
"Let's finish this!Now!"Ray exclaimed.
"Wait,"Zaffiroth said,stopping the enraged Zapland from charging,"There's something I must tell all of you.No...Something I must show all of you."
"Just shut up!All you show is lies and illusions!We came here to settle things,and that's what we'll do,"Ray said.
Before he could charge,everyone disappeared.He looked around frantically,trying to search for anyone.
"Ray..."
He looked forward and saw Sarah.She had somehow dropped out of Super Tororin.
"Why do you fight?"she asked.
"What?You know why I fight,"Ray said.
"I need to hear the words from your mouth."
"I...I fight for revenge...No,that's not right...I fight to protect those that I love!"
"What about me?Do you fight for me?"
"Yes.I fight for you,and everyone else.But...Why are you asking me all these things?"
"Because you always keep to yourself.Why is that?"
"This isn't like you!You already know why I keep to myself.Wait,this is just another twisted illusion brought forth by Zaffiroth..How dare you play on my emotions!!"
"This isn't an illusion.It's just as I thought,you can't even tell when it's the real me in front of you!...I hate you!"
A sharp pain shot through his heart as his eyes widened.Was this really the girl he had fallen in love with?Did she really hate him?He brought his hands to his head and fell to his knees.
"No...Stop it...STOP IT!!...O-O-Old man...Please...Just stop..."he stammered.
-----
"W-Where am I?"Trunks asked.
"Trunks,the Androids are attacking again..."
Trunks looked for the source of the voice and his eyes stopped on his mentor and best friend.
"Gohan,what do you mean the Androids are attacking!?I beat them!"he exclaimed.
"You didn't do a good enough job...Trunks,come back to our dimension.I've found a way to get you back to where you belong!"
"...I can't."
"Why not!?"
"Ray and the others need me right now."
"So,you're just going to leave your real friends to die!?I thought I knew you Trunks.But you're just a spineless coward!"
"That's not like you!You always said that you have to help the people you CAN help.I have to help the people in THIS dimension because I'm in it now!"
Gohan disappeared and Trunks fell to the ground.
-----
"Ray...Trunks...Where are you guys?"Sarah asked.
"Hey Sarah."
She turned around and saw Ray,"There you are.What happened?"
"I've given up,"he replied.
"What?"
"I now know we can't win.Let's just go home and forget about this."
"What are you saying?I thought you wanted to settle the past?"
"I already told you....We can't win against my father."
"You always said:'If you have a reason to fight,there's no way you can lose'.Isn't that right?"
She gasped as it felt like she ran into a brick wall and fell to the ground.
-----
"Trunks,where are you?...I'm scared..."Ashley trailed off as she looked around.
"I always knew you were weak."
She looked up and saw Trunks descending to the ground in Super Saiyan.
"What are you talking about?"Ashley asked.
"You're weak!Why don't you just go home while I finish up here?"
"No,I want to fight by your side."
"Hmph.You're too weak and pathetic to be a Saiyan.You should just get out of here."
"What's gotten into you?"
The lavender haired Saiyan disappeared as Ashley started to get dizzy.
-----
"What did you do to them?"Zapland asked,looking at the people,and dragons,laying on the ground.
"I put the ones that are a threat to a test.The others are just unconscious,"Zaffiroth replied.
'So,father is scared...And so he should be,'Zapland thought.
The people started to stand up,each one having to lean on another for support.
"What!!?Impossible!!"Zaffiroth shouted.
"I knew it...We saw past your illusions!Now it's time to settle everything!"Ray exclaimed.
'Good work,brother.I just need a little more time,then we can win,'Zapland though,a slight smirk growing on his face as he watched his fearful father slowly draw his sword.
