It occurred to me only moments ago that this chapter may not be suitable
due to the recent exploits in Iraq. I mean no comparisons in this chapter
to that issue and I apologize for anyone who does see some.
This chapter came out later than I expected. Sorry. I've been sick the last two weeks and I am so far behind in everything!
By the way, I never thanked all my reviewers before. I apologize for that too. When I first posted this story I was so happy with the reception it received those first couple of days. Parron and Saiyangirl*dbz*dbgt you guys were there from the beginning. And sweet t/ptears who helped me so much with the plot! And also to everyone else that I didn't mention! You guys are so nice!

SUMA, HAKKEN
Trunks and Goku left the restaurant and flew above the building tops to see what the problem was. Goku could feel the frightened ki's of the people around them. It was easy to see that the entire province was in chaos. Aliens ran frantically through the streets to a non-existent safety. More explosions began to surround them as an unknown enemy assaulted Suma. Goku began to shoot ki blasts at the larger pieces of debris that rained down from sky, the remains of buildings that stood only moments ago, to minimize the damage below on the crowded streets.
Goku watched in frustration as more broken buildings rain down on those in the street. Their screams filled the air with panic and fear. "Trunks, I gotta help them down there!" screamed Goku. Without waiting for a response Goku left.
Trunks desperately scanned the sky searching for what was causing the attacks. A dark shadow blocked out the sun as it went over his head He turned his attention to it and saw the bottom of a large military ship. In the horizon Trunks saw more dark blotches, no doubt other members of this cowardly attack. "Kami," he muttered to himself, "there is an entire fleet of ships up there!" He turned desperately to Goku but the young Saiyan had already left and was trying to air lift the citizens out of the streets in a desperate attempt to save them. "Goku! There isn't time for that! Right now we have to go right to the source." Trunks flew up into the sky under the ship. He could see that the bay door was open and that's where multiple warriors stood aiming blasts at the innocents below.
"Bastards" Trunks growled as he looked at the grins on their faces. The warriors saw him coming and turned their attention on blasting him out of the sky. Trunks swatted their shots like flies and continued towards them with increasing speed.
Goku desperately tried to redirect the blasts that Trunks had batted away. "Trunks! Stop it! The blasts are hitting the planet!" Goku felt his stomach lurch as he missed one stray blast. He felt the heat of it tear by him as it landed into the middle of Suma, sending the immediate area into a ball of fire. "Are you crazy Trunks?!"
Trunks continued to ignore his younger friend as he rammed the ship and ripped through its hull. Inside he shot at several of the cowardly fighters that now desperately ran from him. "Die!" he screamed as he sent a powerful wave of ki into the cockpit. The ship erupted into flames and smoke. Trunks made another hole as he exited the doomed vessel. Outside he unknowingly smiled at his handiwork as the ball of flames began to descend towards the torn capital.
Goku grabbed onto Trunks shoulder. "It's going to crash into the city!" he warned.
"Don't worry about it." Trunks replied coldly. He lifted his right arm up with the palm facing towards the ship and let loose the final blow. The ship exploded and all that was left was ash floating gently in the wind.
Goku starred with frightened eyes as he looked at Trunks face. The lavender haired man was smiling at the sight. "We didn't have to kill them all Trunks, they didn't all need to die."
"C'mon Goku, we need to get those other ships before they can do anymore damage." Trunks flew off without waiting for Goku's response.
...
Pan could feel the pressure all over her body. Her body was tightly packed and she could barely wiggle her fingers. She opened her eyes and saw only darkness. She worked her shoulders around and managed to free her arms. Desperately she tried to remember what had taken place. "Everything just fell down and went dark." With her ΒΌ Saiyan strength she pushed off the slab of concrete that had fallen on her. Pan flew into a coughing fit as the dust around her stirred. She attempted to wipe the dust and blood of her face but fail miserably as she just rubbed in more from her hands. Instead she settled on spitting the coppery tasting liquid out from her mouth.
"Hello?" she looked around feverishly for the seer, "Where are you?" She could barely hear her own voice, the roaring in her ears was deafening. Pan struggled to her feet and began to shift through the rubble. The orb lay to her left, seemingly untouched by the devastation around it. Not fully understanding why, Pan lifted the orb and dropped it into her beaten backpack and continued her search for the seer.
"Are you okay?" She stopped her search as she spotted a limp purple hand lined with blood. It was partially hidden underneath what once was the roof. She turned away, unwilling to check to see if the rest of the woman was connected. Desperately blinking away the tears from her eyes she looked up at the sky. Smoke barreled up from the burning shell of the town and mixed with the clouds and gases in the sky, creating a nightmarish sky filled with death and destruction.
"What happened-?" Pan paused to try and make sense of the scene around her. Pan groaned "Gotta find the guys.". Groggily she lifted herself into the air and began to fly towards Trunks and Goku's ki signatures.
...
Trunks flew towards the battalion of ships with grim determination. 'They will be punished for what they did, whoever they are, they will pay!' Trunks could faintly hear Goku call out to him, but Trunks continued on. The blood pounded in his ears like the beating of a drum and filled his body with the urge to battle.
The General watched from inside his ship the approach Trunks with growing amusement. "He is a rather hot headed man isn't he?" Xemit said conversationally to no one in particular. His crew watched nervously as the lavender haired man neared their ship. Xemit clacked his pincers and stood up from his chair. "This has been fun but it's time to get back to business. Send the other ships around the planet and proceed with the plan. I will take care of our 'party crasher' here. Then we can get back to killing them all!" Xemit laughed maniacally and left the control room.
The control room occupants sat in silence until one of the Blistonians turned to his companion; "I am going to ask for a transfer to another fleet when we get back."
"Get in line after us" was the general reply.
....
It was over a large park that Trunks and General Xemit met. Trunks didn't bother with formalities and charged the General head first. Xemit easily ducked Trunks's attack and kicked him in the back when Trunks flew by him.
"Mammals are so pathetic when it comes to a good fight." Xemit commented as Trunks launched at him again. "To think I thought that this just might be interesting."
"You butchered those people down there!" roared Trunks as he shot a ki blast at the insectoid creature.
Xemit reflected it back at Trunks. "They have no role in Akuma's plans." Trunks dodged it and flew at Xemit with a punching combo.
"Who the hell is Akuma?"
Xemit grabbed Trunks wrists and held on to both tightly. Trunks felt them begin to ache with cold and pain. The General laughed as Trunks's expression turned to one of horror as his wrists became incased in ice.
"Akuma is the universe's Master, mine and yours. He will lead us into the approaching darkness in a glorious final battle where all will end." The ice traveled up Trunks arms and towards his chest. "But that doesn't matter to you now." The ice now was making its way down to the demi Saiyan's legs.
"Oh, but it does." Trunks let go a howl and he shifted into Super Saiyan mode. The ice exploded off his body and the force of the transformation blew Xemit back.
"So, you do have some tricks up your sleeve. Good. My victory will be all the more sweeter then."
