Hey everybody Goku here, I bet you're all wondering what's going on. Well after days of fighting and the loss of friends and family it seems that the final battle between Mystic and Trunks is about to begin. Everyone watches in anticipation for new attacks and new levels beyond our wildest dreams. The world is in for an epic battle today on Dragon Ball Z:
Metamorphosis
Mystic stood waiting for Trunks to arrive from Kami's lookout. He looked out at the damage caused by past battles. The arena was blown apart, some blood was splattered across the ground and blast marks marked the land. He knelt down and lifted up a daisy with his finger. "All this life, destroyed because of foolish behavior, not just on the Earthlings hands but on the Androids as well." Said Mystic out loud to no one. He then stood up and stepped on the daisy. "Once I go past Super Sayjin Five I won't be able to control what I do, so I've decided to take the last battle away from earth, away from all the innocent people. To take Trunks away from Tina." Mystic sighed and closed his eyes. It started to drizzle.
Back on Kami's lookout Bulma was cutting Trunks' hair. "This is so it's more out of the way and manageable later on." Explained Bulma as she sniped away and purple strands of hair fell to the ground. "I may die mother." Bulma was silent for a moment while she continued cutting away a little more. "There, done." Trunks sighed, brushed off the loose hair on his shoulders. "Mother I said I may die." "I know that Trunks, do you think I don't? I don't like the thought of losing my only son." She wiped a tear from her eye. "Before you go talk to your father and Tina." Trunks nodded. He then smiled at his mother and walked into the main building.
At a large table sat Goku and Vegeta in front of a pile of food that was still there. "I'm not hungry." Said Goku as he stood up and walked away. Trunks went over and sat down next to his father, sitting the wrong way in the chair. "Father." He started but Vegeta interrupted him. "Trunks I realize that you're going into battle today, but son, I do not wan't you to go in thinking you are going to win because it is next to impossible for you to win, especially thinking like that. Mystic is well over your power level. You could cockily go Super Sayjin Three in the very beginning but as we saw in his fight against Trugetta he could easily beat a Super Sayjin Three from his regular form so I want you to think with your heart and your head not just your Sayjin instincts because even though we are a strong race, Android, I mean Three was correct, a Sayjin's pride will get in the way and I don't want what happened to me happen to you. Don't go in expecting to win." "So you think I'm weak?" "No but you are going up against someone a million times stronger then you in your current state, I don't want you to die on me." "My current state?" "Yes Mystic wanted to fight you because you have to most potential to go to the level after Super Sayjin Three, to Super Sayjin Four. Normally one would have to go Super Sayjin Ozzar to achieve Super Sayjin Four but Mystic said that you seem like you have the most potential to go Super Sayjin Four without becoming an Ozzar." "Father, if I don't go in with a positive attitude then how am I expected to win?" "Don't go in thinking you'll lose, go in thinking that you won't win, use the powers deep inside of you, the powers of loss, the true power of the entire Sayjin race." "Father?" "Yes Trunks?" "If I don't survive this, I love you". With that Trunks and Vegeta stood up and hugged. They let go and Trunks went to find Tina. Vegeta smiled and wiped a tear from his eye. "I'm proud of you Trunks, my son." He thought.
He thought he saw Tina on the balcony so he walked towards it, he passed by a wall covered by shadows when a hand reached out and stopped him. Trunks was surprised and fell back but sighed in relief to see that it was Gohan. "Wait Trunks. I have something for you." Said Gohan as he pulled out Trunks' sword from the shadows and held it out. "You fixed it." "Yes, now it should be a thousand times stronger." "Thanks a lot." Said Trunks and he put it away. "No problem but I need to tell you something before you leave." "Go ahead." "As you know I recently felt the power of Super Sayjin Ozzar but it wasn't as great as you may think it was. The new power I felt was amazing but scary, it was as if I was trapped deep inside myself, the way it felt when Evil Buu absorbed everyone. I was trapped inside a large room and stuck to the ground, thinking of the ones that I love and care about helped me free myself from the ground but afterwards I was cast into a large maze. It took so much of myself to even get a third of the way through the maze, I took one wrong turn as the beast continued destroying the city I was in and attacking my father and Mystic. What I'm trying to say is if you can, try to beat Mystic before going pass Super Sayjin Three because if you are not ready physically, or mentally you may not be able to control yourself and you could attack and kill anyone." Said Gohan nodding towards Tina. "No." Said Trunks. "I could never attack or hurt Tina." "I thought I'd never ever attack my father, let alone almost kill him ever since I have learned to control myself in Ozzar form but Super Sayjin Ozzar was a whole new level, like being born again. Everything is just so new that I don't want you getting hurt or hurting anyone like I did." Trunks pulled out his sword and looked at it, turning it so the light bounced off it. "Just be careful." Said Gohan as he walked away.
Trunks put away his sword and walked over to the balcony. Tina was standing there looking over the edge at birds that were flying pass. She sighed and pushed her hair behind her ears. Trunks remained silent and stood at the doorway watching her. "You know it's rude to watch someone." Said Tina outloud startling Trunks. "Oh, sorry." He said as he walked over and stood next to her. "Tina I..." "No." Interrupted Tina. "Let me talk first Trunks. I know you love me but for the past few days I have been thinking over my feelings. I know we've been together for years, friend-wise and I will never forget those wonderful memories, but I can't fight what's in my heart. Trunks I know you love and care about me and I don't want you going into battle depressed. If you beat Mystic do not kill him or I will not love you, beat Mystic and I will marry you." Trunks was shocked. "Are you serious?" "Yes I am Trunks but you have to listen to me. Kill Mystic and you kill our love." Trunks nodded and started walking away smiling. "Give a boy an impossible task and you will defeat him, but give him any hope he may go past your thoughts and dreams and pull through." Thought Tina as she held out the ring Trunks gave to her. He had left and she heard his footsteps go down the stairs as she held the ring in her hand. She then closed her eyes and threw Trunks' ring off the side of Kami's lookout. "Like asking him to find a grain of hay in a needle stack." Said Tina out loud as she slipped on Mystic's ring.
Trunks went back to his mother and hugged her. "Thank you mom, for everything." He said as he jumped off the side and flew down to the battle arena Mystic was currently constructing. Back on Kami's lookout Goku sat just outside the time chamber. "Gohan I almost lost you. I didn't know how scary it would be to fight you, to defeat you. I knew that you'd be able to defeat the Super Sayjin Ozzar from within but I had no other choice. I just wish there was more time so you wouldn't have suffered so much pain, but he said there was no other way. Still I wish it was me in his place because when I went Super Sayjin Ozzar I was able to control myself, for the most part. No that would be a lie to myself, I was not able to control myself it only seemed like that because I wanted to beat Raditz but I really had no control. If I really did then I wouldn't have shot those energy blasts from my mouth and hands because that just provoked Raditz into firing his ultimate attack and if they hit then Gohan, Chi-Chi, Vegeta and all the others would have been killed along with Raditz and I. Gohan was right, it was as if I was trapped deep within myself, I was in that maze he explained to me while he was healing, and I got all the way to my father. I don't even know if that was far but father stopped me and ordered me to fight him, I just couldn't do it." Thought Goku as he started crying. "I could not win, I could not control myself, I could not protect my sons."
Trunks arrived just as Mystic finished recreating the arena, he was setting up the last pillar as Trunks landed near him. "Why do you rebuild when you know that it's going to just be destroyed?" Asked Trunks. "Why recreate when you know that they'll just die?" Replied Mystic not looking at Trunks. Trunks sighed. "So what are we waiting for?" "You." "Well I'm here now." "Are you ready?" "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." "Physically and mentally?" "What do you mean?" "Gohan must have told you what happens after you surpass Super Sayjin Three, if you are not fully ready then you will not be able to control yourself, like me when I first went Super Sayjin Six. You must understand that this is it, there is no going back there is no do overs, this is the end of everything, your love, your life, your past, your future. Everything stops here, there is nothing left but the present, nothing left but now, right now. Time will freeze the world will stop, this battle is going to be the greatest one ever fought and I will not hold back and I expect you to do the same." He then climbed into the arena and walked to one corner. Trunks did the same to the opposite corner.
Mystic closed his eyes and took a deep breath powering up. Trunks ran his fingers through his hair and watched Mystic carefully. Mystic's eyes shot open and his body was surrounded by energy. Trunks also powered up watching Mystic for his first move. "I told you that I'm not holding back Trunks so I'm not waiting around for you to power up and attack!" Mystic rushed forward and slammed his fist into Trunks' stomach, disappeared and punched down on his back, then he reappeared in front of him and kicked him upwards. Trunks soared up but disappeared as well. All that could be seen of them was little clouds of dust where they both landed and struck or from when their fists met. Trunks was surpassing the need for powering up to Super Sayjin because he knew he had to reserve himself for the battle later on. But then a cocky thought went into his head, "But if I go Super Sayjin now and beat him before he as the chance to go anything past Super Sayjin One then I would be set." He reached and took out his sword and swung it. He stopped and landed on the arena floor looking up at the top of the farthest pillar. Mystic reappeared and touched his check were Trunks' sword had grazed his face, he wiped the blood off and looked down at him. "So we're using swords now?" Trunks grit his teeth, closed his eyes and drew back his sword, he leapt forward and attacking, swinging down onto Mystic.
Trunks was surprised that he couldn't move his arms or his sword down anymore. He pushed down harder but still could not move it at all. He heard the zapping and buzzing of energy so he opened his eyes and saw that Mystic had created his own sword, an energy blade. Trunks flew back and watched Mystic. "So it looks like it is I who possesses the larger sword." Declared Mystic. "If you want a sword fight then that is what you are going to get." Mystic roared and went Super Sayjin, Trunks also went Super Sayjin. He lunged forward and their swords connected. Trunks went on the offensive as Mystic easily blocked his attacks. Trunks attacked overhead, sideways and up by Mystic easily blocked all of his attacks. He then lunged forward but Mystic rolled to the side allowing Trunks to pass then hitting Trunks on his back. Trunks screamed in pain but quickly caught himself and blocked Mystic's next attack. Mystic then closed his eyes and powered up a little He then burst forward and punched Trunks in his face, Trunks let go of the sword and it spun away then landed in the ground. They both looked at it then Trunks dove down to retrieve it he was right about to grab it when Mystic's sword flew down, cut Trunks' hand and shattered his sword. Trunks held onto his bleeding hand, covering the wound and looked up at Mystic then at the shattered sword. Mystic's blade disappeared. Trunks stood up and ripped off his sleeve, he then used the piece of cloth to wrap his wound. He was breathing heavily as Mystic started laughing…To Be Continued
