Chapter 14:Swords Removed and a Tail Grown

Trunks's Point of View
I hovered in the air,Ashley by my side,and looked down at a section of the forest that Ray and I hadn't destroyed while we were fused.The area around it seemed to glow.

"Isn't that where Miles lead you?"Ashley asked.

"Yeah,it is,"I replied,"Let's hurry and tell the others."

-----

"What?The area where the Ultimasamune and the Dragon Sword are is glowing?That must mean that they have decided who will wield them,"Miles said.

"So,we can get them out of those stones now?"Ray questioned.

"Exactly.Let's hurry,"Miles replied and ran off.

We all quickly followed him and came to the two glowing swords.Each had a letter on the rock it was in.

"'R' and 'Z'?What does that mean?"Alia questioned.

Miles shook his head,"In legend,the swords show who their wielders will be by the first letter of their names."

We all turned to Ray and Zapland.

"So...Trunks isn't one of the heroes....No offense,Zapland,but Ray told me you were evil for a period of time,"Miles said,obviously confused.

"You misunderstood.I acted as if I were controlled.However,it was just a trick to lure Zaffiroth into a trap,"Zapland stated.

"Oh,well..."Miles trailed off as Ray and Zapland walked past him towards the two swords that continued to glow.

Ray grabbed the Ultimasamune with both hands and prepared to pull with all of his strength.The sword came out,but Ray flew backwards,into a tree.

"Ow..."he groaned,"I didn't think it'd come out so easily."

Zapland was next.He grabbed the Dragon Sword with his right hand and pulled with little effort.It came out and Zapland slashed it in the air a few times,smirking as he did so.

"Perhaps next time,brother,you will be smarter as to not use all of your strength,"he stated.

Ray jumped to his feet and held the Ultimasamune at arms length,looking it over,"It's been so long since I used a one handed sword."

I noticed something glowing around his left arm,"What's happening?"

He looked down at his left arm and gasped as a shield that looked like it was made from crystal appeared on his arm.The Murasamune on his back glowed and floated from its sheath.Then a glowing white figure appeared before us.The light that surrounded it almost blinded us.

"I am the spirit that was held within the Murasamune.I have been released to tell you of the new powers you have gained,"the being said,"The shield on your left arm is made of the finest crystal in the known Universe.A crystal only found in the core of the brightest stars that can never be destroyed.The Ultimasamune itself enhances your senses,and is made of the same material as the shield."

"The Dragon sword is much different,"the being continued,"It draws out the hidden strength in its user's very soul.It is made from the essence of the most powerful Dragon ever known,the Divine Dragon.If it is ever used for evil,the sword will shatter.But beware,for the essence of the Divine Dragon holds anger towards all beings that have more evil in their hearts than good.So if the sword shall shatter,the Divine Dragon will awaken from its slumber of millions of years,and destroy all creatures that it senses to be evil."

"So you are saying that if my heart is tainted by darkness,the most powerful Dragon ever known will destroy me and all things it considers evil?"Zapland asked.

"Yes.You must learn to keep a balance of both evil and good in your heart,or many things could perish,"the spirit replied.

"But,wouldn't that be a good thing?The Divine Dragon would destroy all evil and the Universe would be peaceful,"Ray said.

"Though the Divine Dragon has a good sense of wrong from right,it would only create more evil.Without evil to balance out good,there would be no good,nor would there be evil.The Universe would be destroyed,or create an evil that should never have existed.Without good,there cannot be evil,and without evil,there cannot be good.This is why,Zapland,you must be careful what your heart holds within it,"the spirit stated.

"Of course,"Zapland said.

The spirit returned to the Murasamune and floated in front of Titus.It shrunk to the size of a small sword,to an adult.But it was medium size for a nine year old.Titus reached out and grabbed it with both hands,then grinned.

"I've got a sword!I've got a sword!!"he chanted.

Dart smacked him on the back of the head,"Stop acting like an idiot!It's embarrassing."

"Oh yeah?Well,I don't see YOU with a sword!"Titus exclaimed.

Then an argument started.I shook my head at the bickering nine year olds that we were supposed to trust our safety with.I felt something wrap around my waist and looked down.There was a lavender colored,furry thing wrapped around my waist like a belt.

"Uh oh..."I trailed off.

"What is it,Trunks?"Ray asked.

"My tail grew back,"I replied.

"Then you shouldn't look up at the sky tonight.It's going to be a full moon,"Ashley warned.

"Wait,didn't you tell me it can be removed?I'll just knock you out and cut it off,"Ray stated.

My tail,as if hearing this,let go of my waist and waved back and forth.I grabbed it protectively.

"No!It's my tail and I'll decide if it gets removed!"I exclaimed,surprising myself.

"What's gotten into you?"Ashley questioned.

I blinked a few times,"I don't know.I just.....REALLY don't want my tail removed."

Everyone looked at me with confused looks as my tail swished happily behind me.I had no control over it what so ever,and it decided to play a game of 'Beat the Saiyan you're attached to' as it reached for a tree limb and pulled it off.It then started to hit me with it.I was being beat up..by my own tail.I could tell Ray was about to laugh his head off,along with everyone else.I tore the limb from my tail and wrapped it around my waist again,tieing it in a knot to stop it from doing that again.Dart decided it was time to see what would happen if he pulled it.

"OWWW!!!!!"I cried out,my entire body going numb.

"Heh...Oops?"Dart laughed nervously.
Ending Note:"I know,I didn't have a romantic scene with Trunks and Ashley.When I wrote this,I wanted to get to the end as fast as possible.But,if you want a scene like that,I'll write another chapter.Think of it as a bonus chapter,or something.Anyway,I think I should explain the whole Ultimasamune and Dragon Sword thing.I know that Trunks is a hero as well,but I didn't want him to have the Dragon Sword for two reasons.1:Borory is a Tororin,and Ray and Zapland are Tororin Royalty.Therefore,I thought that they would be the most likely ones to fight against another Tororin.And 2:I had big plans for Zapland and the Dragon Sword.You'll see what I mean much later.So there,I hope that explains everything.Well,enough of my babbling for now.Next chapter will be up tomorrow.You know what to do.Please review."
