Claimer: Quartz and Rubyous, just two more Crystallin-jins ^-^



"Well I'm just glad it's all over and we can get back to normal." Bulma smiled and put a hand on her hip.

"...Well not really, I still have to go back to Frost-sei and finish this." Trunks said solemnly and stood from the floor.

"But why?"


"I left at the spur of the moment. No doubt Frieza's looking for me and if I don't go back, I may lead them here. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened here just so I can be happy."

"But do you have to leave right now, you just got back." Bulma cried, not wanting her son to leave again.

"Don't worry Bulma, we'll go with him." Goku said hoping everyone would agree.

"Thanks Goku but how would I get all of you there without Frieza knowing."

"We have plenty of time to figure that all out." Gohan smiled.

Just then a low beeping came from the front yard. It was Trunks scouter, signaling that someone was calling. Trunks breathed in heavily and hovered out to the front yard while the others watched. Trunks landed a few feet away from the house and picked up his scouter. He brushed it off and placed it to his ear.

'Gotta act normal.' Trunks thought as he answered. "What?"

"Now, now prince, is that any to talk to your lord?" the taunting voice said though the ear piece.

"Frieza?"

"But of course, who else would be calling a monkey like you?"

Trunks swallowed hard, suppressing the rage that Frieza brought. "Forgive me sir."

"That's more like it." Frieza said. "Now, where are you little monkey? You left quite sometime ago. Don't make me come get you myself."

Trunks eyes widened slightly, he had to think up something quick. "I...can't come back. My ship is busted, I need to fix it."

"There is no need, I'll send some one to get you."

"That is not really necessary..."

"Oh but it is. I wouldn't have a warrior at your ranking let alone royalty do such manual work." The Ice-jin mocked. "Or was there another reason why?"

Did Freiza see right though him? "No...no reason. I just don't need any weakling bakas holding my hand."

"But of course. Oh and by the way, did you get that revenge you sought after?"

"Why of course. These, what do you call them, Earthlings, where no match for me." Trunks smirked.

"Good. The ship should be there by nightfall."

"Nightfall? It took me two weeks to get here."

"Did you think I would let you go that easily?" Frieza smirked. "I can't have any of you monkeys running a stray, now can I?"

Trunks just grunted and said, "Fine, I'll be waiting near my ship."

Frieza cut off the transmission and contacted the ship going to Earth.

"Quartz, you have your orders. He'll be waiting near his ship. Lock on to his coordinated and carry out the plan."

"Hai sir."

"Perfect."

"Hey Trunks, what was all of that about?" Goten asked as Trunks appeared in the living room with the blue scouter on his face.

"Nothing." Trunks answered in a mono tone voice and leaned against the wall.

"Oh..okay..."

There was a stretch of silence until Mrs. Briefs came in and said, "The food is done everyone."

Trunks' face lit up and bolted to the kitchen first, with the other's in tow. The poor humans only had a few scraps left over after the saiya-jins had their fill. Afterwards, Bulma bid farewell to all the guests as Trunks went out to the yard and levitated in the Indian style Piccolo does quite often. He was thinking hard about the next step in his plan until he sensed someone coming toward him.

"Yes?"

"Don't you want to come in, now?" Bulma asked.

"No."

"......"

"..."

"...Oh, ok. I'll be in the house....."

"......I'm sorry mom. I'm just very distracted right now, that's all." Trunks said in a warm tone.

"You want to talk about it?"

"Ok." Trunks agreed, still levitating. "You know when my scouter went off?"

"Hn-hun."

"Yeah well it was Frieza. He said he'll be sending someone to come get me later on."

"Do you want me to get your father?"

"Na, I can handle them myself but there is one thing you could do for me."

"Yeah?"

"You know the collar I had? Can you make something to disable them in a mass not one at a time?"

"Of course, Trunks." Bulma smiled weakly. "Anything else?"

"One more thing." Trunks said and touched down to the ground. He walked over to his mother and embraced her warmly in another hug and said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I know it broke your heart to fine out that I was dead but I'm not. I'm right here. I promise I won't be gone for long and I WILL be careful, ok?"

She nodded on the brink of tears and wiped them away before Trunks could see.

"I know, it's good to have you back is all." Bulma sniffed and kissed him on the forehead only for his chin long bangs to get partly in the way. "Gosh, did you want me to cut you hair first?"

"Maybe a little bit later, thanks."

"Ok, now I've got to get to work. Even though you father just INSISTS that he has his GR room fix but his royal highness will just have to wait."

Trunks smiled and laughed a bit as his mother returned to the house. He returned to his meditation as his parents battled it out.

"WOMAN, I DEMAND THAT MY GRAVITY ROOM IS FIXED, NOW!!!"

"OH PLEASE, THAT GR ROOM IS TRASHED THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR RECKLESS FIGHTING! IT'LL TAKE MONTHS TO FIX!"

"THAN GET STARTED, WOMAN!"

"NO, I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO!"

"Woman..."

"WOMAN WHAT?! DON'T START WITH ME VEGETA OR IT'LL BE NO, you know what, FOR A MONTH PLUS NO GRAVITY ROOM!"

"......."

"Hn, that's what I thought." Bulma finished and switched away as Vegeta started cursing something is Saiya-go, while Trunks as laughing uncontrollably, knowing exactly what his father said.

Later than night, Trunks was up in his room when he felt ki's descending towards Earth. It was two of them and felt pretty strong but Trunks thought he could handle it. He stretched his muscles out a bit before he walked out to the balcony. He leapt down to the ground gracefully and headed toward the landing area. He would have flown but he did want to involve his father until he was sure what the next step in his plan was. In almost no time he had arrived just as the 'help' was coming from their ship.

"Prince Trunks, we have arrived to assist you." Rubyous said as he and his partner bowed.

Trunks snorted and said, "Well get started, I don't want to spend all night on this rock."

"Yes sir."

The two Crystallin-jins turned to Trunks' ship but were really planning an attack. Quartz turned and shot at Trunks with a massive ki blast. Trunks evaded the attack but part of his outfit was burned.

"You bastards..." Trunks said and phased out of sight.

Trunks reappeared and knocked Rubyous halfway to the moon and then began on Quartz. He was having a good time kicking their asses until Quartz's scouter beeped. Trunks scowled and picked the half dead warrior from the ground by the throat.

"Answer it." Trunks ordered as Quartz did what he was told.

"Lord Frieza?"

"Yes, did you arrive on Earth?"

"Yes sir."

"Did you kill the monkey?"

Quartz hesitated until Trunks tightened his grip to make him talk.

"Oh yes, Lord Frieza. The prince is dead. I'm sure of it."

"Good. Report back to Frost-sei immediately."

The communication ended as Trunks smirked. "Thank you for your cooperation."

Trunks brought his other hand to Quartz's face and twisted his head completely around, killing him. Trunks dropped the body and headed over to the Crystallin-jins' ship and began typing in codes. He didn't even notice Rubyous charging a ki blast. A choking gasp came out followed by a few cracks. Trunks whipped around to see Rubyous mangled up worse than before and Vegeta standing near him.

"Father, what are you doing here?" Trunks asked raising a brow.

"Finishing your job." He said plainly. "You should have still had your guard up. I've trained you better than that."

Trunks turned and smirked as all the memories came flooding of him training with his father. "Yeah I remember, but I still could have handled him myself."

Vegeta smirked and walked over to his typing son. "What are you doing, boy?"

"Oh, I was just setting the ship for going back to Frost-sei."

"Don't you have your own ship?"

"Yeah but this one isn't for me." Trunks smirked. "It's for you. I was hoping that you would come with me to Frost-sei to finish Frieza together, that's if you want to though. If not, I could always ask Goku."

"Kakarot? Hell no. I will go finish Frieza myself; I own the son of a bitch one." Vegeta finished with an evil grin.

Trunks grinned evilly and filled his father in on the rest of his plans.

~*~*~

The figure walked down the long corridors, its robes barely gracing the floor. Its white boots walked to one cell in particular. It stopped and looked at the very injured Calico with cold silver eyes.

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty." It said in a mocking tone.

Calico hissed a fierce catlike growl and looked hatefully at the figure with his unswollen eye. "How could you, you sick son of a bitch?!"

"Now now. I'm the only reason you're not dead."

Calico spat to the side and thrashed his tail wildly. "I would gladly take death over this." he said then winced over his injuries.

"Watch it! Or you might get what you asked for!" the figure hissed and pulled on Calico's chains, getting a few pain filled cries out of him.

A guard came down the hall but stopped in his tracks when he saw the figure.

"What!?!" It said annoyed.

"Lord Frieza wishes to see you, your majesty." The guard answered quickly.

"Hn, fine." It said plainly. "Be a good little kitty."

The figure said and grabbed Calico's spiked hair. It licked his face and pushed him back roughly. "Let's go."

The figure ordered the guard and left to Frieza's quarters. Calico brought his chained arm up and whipped the saliva off of his face with disgust. "Someday soon all of these bastards will died and go straight to hell where they belong."

He was left there with his hateful heart only hearing the sounds of his own breathing.
