Trunks reared back preparing to launch an energy wave at the large wall that was erected in front of him . He screamed out as his energy began to raise rapidly. Amber brushed the stands of stray hair blowing back in her face from his power behind her ear, stepping away from the young Sayain prince. Trunks gave a heavy nod launching a ray of energy into the wall, rocking it's structure upon contact. The cave seemed to shake from his immense power as his blast came to a halt. He sat still locked in his release position with a meaningful glance. Trunks exhaled, charging another ray up. Once more he fired, blasting away at it's surface, denting it slightly with his rage. He looked back at Amber whom nodded with confidence in the young Sayain warrior. It was then that Trunks raised his energy up to his maximum firing another blast into the belly of the ancient barrier.

******

Vegeta handed Bulma yet an added bonus of her 7th prize of the evening. The simple games offered at the Carnival were nothing more than down graded version of simulations he had done in the past. Throwing a baseball at a stack of bottle was the same as firing a ki blast at his enemy. The difference was, he bottles were quite stagnant. Bulma squealed with excitement looking down at the arm full of fuzzy animals in her arms. She felt like a child on Christmas morning. Not really because of the gifts she was getting, but at the fact that Vegeta was at least trying to make her night good, even though he hadn't smiled since that whole tent incident. Bulma didn't really mind , she felt she could live with that.

"Hey Vegeta, let's go get some food I'm starving..."

"Fine, let's go..."

Vegeta suddenly halted. His senses were alerted. The Sayain Prince could feel a strong power in the distance, and all his bets were on the fact it was his son. Vegeta knew his son's ki too well. Bulma looked back at him, knowing all too well that it had to deal with Trunks. Her intuition was marvelous. It was a shame she never took the time to develop her ki, despite Vegeta's efforts had to do so.

"It's my baby...what's going on with our son Vegeta?"

"I do not know. Trunks has raised his energy for some reason."

******

Trunks continued to scream out as his energy level steadily rose. His eye's gleamed the shade of emerald known all to well as the trade mark of Super Sayains. Without giving it another thought he ranged a final defining blow to the large wall, rumbling the entire cave as Trunks continued to push his blast into the large structure. It slowly cracked at the point of impact, as Trunks attempted to raise his blast higher. The wall finally gave way , yielding a seemingly perfect hole. Trunks exhaled heavily as he lowed his level down to the point where he stopped radiating as a Super Sayain. He motioned with his head, causing Amber to follow. She took a deep breath heading into the freshly made entrance.

******

Goten gave a defining pause, stopping in mid stride, dangling his left foot just above the dust carnival ground. Michelle watched him as he looked around in the air as if searching for something coming in from the distance. She blinked sweetly before looking up herself. She saw nothing as Michelle stood on her toes, placing her hand flat over the top of her eyes, blinking in rapid succession.

"What's up Goten, I don't see anything."

"It's Trunks...come on! We gotta find my dad!"

"What? What about Trunks?"

Goten grabbed Michelle by the hand taking off in search of his father.

******

"Let's see what's in here."

Trunks climbed in through the hole. He hopped down into the new area looking around again.

"Hey Amber come on!"

Amber peeped her head through searching for Trunks. He stood only several feet under on the sandy soil of the cave bottom

"Jump! I'll catch you!"

Amber nodded hopping from the hole into his arms. He put her down flat on the ground as her necklace began to glow. The two stepped back starring, as if mystified by it.

"Amber what's up with that chain of yours?"

"I don't know. I...it use to be my grand mothers. It's been in my family for years."

"Well it's obvious now it has something to do with this weird place."

"Trunks...I have a bad feeling."

Trunks placed an arrogant hand on his hip as he laughed with confidence.

"Come on...there's nothing down here I can't handle."

Amber smiled again grabbing close onto his arm.

"Right. Let's go Trunks."

******

"Dad! Mom!"

Goku put down the baseball at the dunking booth turning to look at Goten. Chi-Chi peeped around from her husbands left side, smiling at her youngest son.

"Goten how's your date?"

"Your growing so much! I'm proud son."

Goten shook his head throwing up his hands.

"It's fine, but that's not it..."

Goku cocked his head to the side.

"Then you're ready to go home already? You sure, it's still pretty early son?"

"Dad it's..."

"Hey bro, how's the date?"

Gohan and a still slightly steamed Videl appeared from behind, strolling up gingerly next to the pre-teens. Goku smiled.

"I dunno but I think he's ready to go home."

"Huh, not having fun Goten?"

Chi-Chi interrupted her eldest with a commanding shake of her finger tip.

"Now I don't think that's right. How could he not have fun with such a sweet girl as Michelle? What do you think Videl?"

Michelle blushed grinding her foot in the dirt as shyly as she possibly could. Goten on the other hand clutched his fist in irritation. Why was it no one wanted to listen? Videl crossed her arms looking at Gohan with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, the more intimate moments a couple share should be sacred after all. You'd never do a thing like forsake that bond would you Gohan?"

"I didn't tell him about it honest Videl..."

"Yeah right...I'd expected better from you Gohan but it looks like conversations in the gravity chamber are just like locker rooms."

"I told you I don't kn...."

"EXCUSE ME BUT WILL YOU ALL LISTEN FOR JUST 10 SECONDS?!!!!!!!!"

They all looked at Goten as he clutched his hands in rage.

"Well what's wrong son?"

"Dad I'm worried about Trunks....."

******

"Whoa, what is that thing?"

Trunks gazed towards the far area of the circular room. There was a dingy looking skeleton, dressed in seemingly light combat armor chained down in a shrine area. The whole room was filled with sutras and ancient writings. It was an odd sight to say the least. Trunks walked up to the skeleton tapping it's armor.

"Must've been a woman."

Amber blinked looking walking up next to Trunks shivering slightly from fear.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well the armor is shapely and light. See...."

"Yeah..?" Amber responded slightly enlightened. Trunks gave her a reassuring nod before she spoke again.

"What's up with that mural?"

Amber pointed to the area behind the skeleton. There sat a pair of large gates, flames had been pained against the back drop as if they lead to the gates of hell themselves. The ancient writing began soon glow just like Ambers necklace. The stone obviously had some kind of connection to this place. A connection neither of them could put a finger on.

"Pretty creepy huh?"

"Trunks look!"

Amber ran over to the main petal stool. On the top sat a circular carved hollow. It radiated green similar to the scriptures in the room. In the depression was a symbol, it reacted causing a similar symbol to emerge on Ambers amulet causing her to look back at Trunks.

"Maybe I'm suppose to put this here?"

******

"Goten calm down. Why would you be worried about Trunks?"

"Dad he was raising his power level to it's maximum just a little while ago! I think that something may be going on..."

Gohan nodded looking at Goku.

"Yeah I felt it too dad. But Goten, Trunks was probably showing off his power for that girl."

Goku followed with a laugh, seemingly amused by the prospect of Trunks bulking up for his lady friend like the guys on TV sitcoms.

"Trunks may be a tad cocky, but he isn't a show off like that!" Goten responded

"Come on what is there possibly to worry about?" Gohan said with a shrug.

******

"Go for it...maybe we'll see what's been calling to you."

Amber nodded, she detached the amulet from around her neck slowly holding it out towards the hollow.

******

"Gohan!?! Dad!?!"

"Hey come on Goten, don't worry about it okay...Look will it make you feel better if we go tell Vegeta?"

Goku smiled placing a loose hand on his sons shoulder. Goten quickly pulled away in resentment.

"I'll still feel the same, I just think something really bad is about to happen."

******

"I can't..."

Amber snatched her hand back away from the alter. She looked at the amulet again. It's glow intensified greatly as she looked upon it in fear. Trunks walked up behind her wrapping one arm around her neck. She looked back at him with compassionate eyes as he spoke.

" I guess you don't have to if you don't want to. But it's going to haunt you Amber. So why not do it now when I'm here to protect you? I promise I won't let anything happen to you..."

Amber nodded again with a renewed sense of confidence, once more holding the stone to the alter.

******

"Okay Goten let's go find Vegeta...then we'll see what to do from there."

Goten nodded as they all touched Goku where ever they could. Michelle wasn't sure why they were all touching him, or why Goku had two fingers pressed against his forehead, but what the hell, they wouldn't be doing it just for fun. They soon disappeared towards the Sayain prince due to instant transmission.

******

"Vegeta!"

Vegeta and Bulma turned back to see Goku appear with, Gohan, Videl, Goten, Chi-Chi, and Michelle hanging off of him. Michelle looked around completely shocked as to how they had got there. She looked at Goku in awe.

"I wanna go again!"

Vegeta gazed at them with stern eyes for the moment.

"Hey Vegeta, did you sense Trunks raise his power level?"

Vegeta looked away for a instant before nodding.

"Okay, cause Goten feels that Trunks could be in danger..."

"He probably is."

They all looked at Vegeta in shock as he fixed his eyes into the distance towards his sons whereabouts.

******

Ambers hand shook slightly as she held it towards the flashing light. Trunks watched with anticipation as she finally set the stone in the alter. The alter was instantly consumed in a deep green light, overwhelming the room with a pulsing gleam. The glowing lights recessed almost as soon as they came, and the cave sat dimly lit once more. Trunks and Amber only looked at each other some what disappointed.

"Ah man, that was lame, let's go Amber..."

Trunks turned getting ready to walk away and head back to the carnival when another green light flashed.

"Trunks!?!?!"

Trunks turned wide eyed.

******

"The hell?!?"

Vegeta's eyes twitched in fear. They all perked up as a foreign power shot through the roof, alerting them all to look blankly in the direction where Trunks and Amber went. Vegeta clutched his fist apprehensively while Goku shot him a concerned glance.

"That power, it's massive! We need to do something!"

Vegeta continued to twitch. Goku looked at him harder.

"Vegeta! Come on, we need to go help Trunks!"

Vegeta did nothing. Bulma looked at him in shock, waiting for him to go save their little boy.

"I'm not going to sit here and wait for them to kill Trunks! He's my best friend!"

Goten screamed out in passion, transforming into a Super Sayain. The crowd of Carnival goers watched in terror as the fierce winds kicked up from the young Sayain's energy. Goten took to the air, but was intercepted by Vegeta.

"You'll do nothing of the sort!"

They all peered at Vegeta in shock once more. Had he lost his mind? Trunks was in danger and here he stood stopping the Calvary from coming.

"But he's your son! Your going to leave him to die!?!"

"Quiet Goten! My son is of no concern to you...we will not go to his aid...yet."

Vegeta turned looking into the distance as he felt the growing of an awful power.

******

Amber ran back behind Trunks. She clutched to him tight in fear as he set in a defensive position. The skeleton stood roaring in fury as the green eyes of the creature radiated. Slowly the skeleton began to retake shape. The bony fingers turned to delicate hands, sliding into the burgundy gauntlets. The skeleton began to rise from it's entombed position, being held down only by the chains bonded to it's body. The feet formed next sliding into the long knee high boots. The thigh straps seemed to just snap in place like a belt that circled her shapely legs. Her torso seemed to materialize after that, sliding into the revealing armor. It was low cut on the creatures cleavage, and the entire abdomen was exposed due to the removed stomach area. It appeared to be a spandex material much like Vegeta's famed armor. It's duel shoulder guards stood at a high point, reaching just beyond the head. Speaking of which, it soon appeared of elegant beauty, long shimmering chest nut hair and eyes that matched that of the Super Sayains. The woman clutched her hands, screaming out in rage breaking the chains surrounding her body. The broken chains quickly integrated into her armor as if they were extensions of her self, waving like tentacles, and with a final scream and energy burst, is was done. The amulet shot to her chest bonding into her skin above her breast line. She exhaled floating down in front of them starring at the ceiling in all of her grace and glory. Trunks backed up slightly as Amber yelped again in fear, clinging to him as tightly as she possibly could. The creature brought her head forward slowly as the chains wrapped around her shapely frame so as not to be loose.

"Freedom..."

Amber clung to Trunks tighter.

"Trunks I'm scared..."

"It's okay Amber, I'm not afraid. I won't let that thing get you."

The being smiled, rubbing the tip of her long pointed ear lobe between her index finger and thumb.

"Amber you say...? Such a pretty name."

She gave a humble bow as she continued. "My child I should thank you. After all being imprisoned for 4000 years is no fun, but how ever did you get in here hmm? It was sealed shut by the strongest of Mages."

She took a step forward as Trunks and Amber did the opposite. She gazed into Trunks face.

"Ah this handsome young warrior, his energy feels like the one that broke the passage. I should thank you as well."

"Save it lady! Who are you and what do you want?!"

She stopped placing a hand delicately across her chest, batting her thin eyes in the most shocked of fashions .

"Oh my...now that was rude of you. One should not be so disrespectful to there elders."

"Yeah, well welcome to the 22nd century toots! Get use to it!"

Trunks growled again setting back in a fighting position.

"Toots? What strange tongue you have boy. But...I am grateful for you releasing me, so I will let it pass. Mistress?"

Amber looked around pointing to herself.

"Me?"

"Yes child, would you happen to know where the other 4 fate stones lye?"

"Fate stones?"

The creature rose a curious eyebrow.

"You mean neither of you knew what this was until now?"

Amber and Trunks shook her their heads slightly. She shrugged sighing with a demonic smirk.

"Oh....well neither of you are any use to me. I shall destroy you now."

She quickly whipped a chain grabbing Amber from behind Trunks. Trunks eyes widened in terror.

"AMBER!"

"TRUNKS!"

She held Amber in front of her, swaying her back and fourth in the grip of her chain like a tiny pendulum. Amber shuttered feeling the cold steel against her flesh, closing her eyes tightly looking away in pure fear. Yet that woman grinned at the sight, giving an arrogant scoff.

"Do not fear child, you will be a part of me now, and will proceed across time as a piece of the unlimited power of Alexial!"

Trunks charged up raising his energy to it's maximum, jumping into the air to take to the assault. But Alexial was quick grabbing a hold of Ambers chest and pulling backwards. A green light was ripped from her chest and absorbed into the demon Alexial. She shuttered in ecstasy before looking at Trunks.

"Catch boy!"

She tossed him Amber's limp body. He floated down clutching her in his arms.

"Amber..."

Her flesh was turning pale as she looked at him shivering.

"Trunks...."

She rose her hand touching the tears on his face.

"Trunks...yo...your crying for...me?"

"Amber, I'm sorry..."

"Don...t...be. You made...me...confro...nt my fear...I'm greatful."

Trunks grabbed her hand. She spoke again.

"The...day I met you....was....the happiest time in my life...Trunks...please give me something to remember you...by..."

"I..."

She pulled herself weakly towards Trunks face. Tears streamed from her face as well as his. Trunks knew what she wanted and in a final act he pulled away slightly, causing her to collapse in his arms; resting eternally. He laid Amber down on the ground as Alexial chuckled slightly. He stood looking at her cold beauty.

"I won't kiss you good-bye...cause it isn't over. I'll get you back...."

His energy began to swell as he slowly looked back towards Alexial. She once more rubbed her ear lobe with her index and thumb, chuckling seductively.

"Well young man, are you prepared to join her?"

Trunks clutched his fist as tears continued to roll down his cheek.

"I will.....make you SUFFER!"

Trunks yelled out in furry as his energy began to rise beyond his previous limitations. The ground cracked and crumbled beneath his feet as the high winds brushed Alexial back slightly. She watched with open curious eyes. She had heard of such transformations, but never had she witnessed one and who thought it would be so powerful. Slowly but surely Trunks energy was on the brink of an explosion.

******

They all watched with fear. The winds of the young Sayains power began to reach them even on the surface. The ground shook causing people to scatter, and scurry for their lives. Trunks was several miles away, but his fury was being felt amongst them.

"Trunks! We're coming!"

"No!"

Vegeta looked back at Goten again. Videl stepped up looking at Vegeta in anger.

"Vegeta! Trunks will need help against that strong power! Why don't you want to help him!?"

"This is his battle, not our own! You will not interfere! Trunks has to find his own worth...his own reason to fight..."

"But Vegeta h...."

Goku cut her off.

"All right, Vegeta. I trust your judgment."

They looked at Goku lost as well. What had gotten into him? Vegeta floated back to the ground as Bulma ran to him wrapping her arms around him. He didn't respond as he looked into the distance.

Trunks, my son. You've made me proud...

******

Trunks continued to power up as the cave rocked crumbling at different points with the mighty Super Sayain's final yell. Electricity shot from his pores engulfing him as his hair thinned and straightened...Trunks had joined Gohan, Vegeta, and Goku as ascended Sayains. Trunks was now focused on making Alexial feel every drop of his power, by all and any means.
