'Good, where almost
there.' Trunks thought and cracked his knuckles. 'Man, I knew this would happen. I just hope
mother and Bra are alright.'
Trunks snorted and looked over to his father, who had his arms crossed in the
regular fashion with a calm, yet scowling, look on his face.
"How could you be so calm?" Trunks interrogated. "Aren't you
worried just a little bit?"
"No."
"What?!?" Trunks jumped up and gave his
father a death glare from hell. 'Damn his pride!'
"I suggest you calm down boy." Vegeta
narrowed his eyes and Trunks sat down wearily. "No, I'm not worried
because I know your mother and sibling is fine."
"Hm, how can you be so sure?"
"Because I do!" Vegeta
boomed, getting tired of all these questions. "Now, shut the hell up and
stop pestering me!"
Trunks frowned and was about to retort when the ship was rocked by an
explosion.
"Identify yourselves or be destroyed!" a voice commanded and appeared
over the intercom.
"Oh? And who are you to tell me about?!" Vegeta
snored and stood.
"That's none of your damn business! Now answer the question!"
Vegeta just smirked, as the guard seethed with rage.
"Alright, you've made your choice!"
"So be it." Vegeta smashed the control
panel causing the video to disconnect.
Trunks gaped then frowned. "We could have found out what the hell was
going on BEFORE we land, you know?"
"I doubt it."
He flared his ki into super saiya-jin
and snorted. "You might want to power up."
"Why?"
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
The ship jerked and wind began to escape from the craft. Trunks looked up to
see saw a large hole in the roof of the ship.
"Let's go boy!" Vegeta barked and flew out
the hole in the ship.
Trunks nodded, flaring into super saiya-jin and followed
quickly as the controls began to catch fire. Another shot was fired from
outside and destroyed the ship completely. The atmosphere where surrounded by
enemy space crafts and the soldiers began to head out toward them. Need less to
say, Vegeta wasted no time into getting his share in.
Trunks followed his father lead and launched himself
on the rest. Countless ki blasts and battles
illuminated the sky over the teal planet. Trunks could only wonder what will
happen back home, if they would ever get pass the seemingly endless fleet.
~*~*~
"Is that it Cali-chan?" Bra piped and
looked out the window at the sugar pink planet.
"Yes."
"Wow, it's so pretty."
After Calico's black out, Bulma managed to stop the
bleeding enough for them to plot a course so they won't just orbit aimlessly in
space. He set them to travel to his home planet, New Neko-sei.
It was set mostly on auto drive but someone would have to land it manually.
Calico still couldn't handle the ship due to his injuries. Low and behold,
there was a rejuvenation chamber on board but Calico insisted that Bulma use it. She had completely forgotten that she had
cracked a rib when she was taken from Earth.
"Bra, come sit down so I can land this thing." Bulma
called and punched in the keys into manual.
Calico managed his way over to an empty seat and strapped himself in as well.
"You ok back there?" she asked and looked out the corner of her eye.
"Yes, I'll be fine." he smiled and sat back.
"Mommy, I'm scared!" Bra whined.
"It'll be over in a minute, I promise."
After a few moments of turbulence, they landed roughly in a soft patch of
earth. The ship stopped and released the its door
hinges. Bulma sighed out and smiled over at Bra.
"That wasn't so bad."
Bra shook her head and unhooked herself from her seat.
"Come on Kitty, let's go!"
Calico nodded and prepared to leave with the two Earthlings. Suddenly, the door
banged and was kicked down by a pack of Neko-jin
warriors.
"Hey what the hell's going on!?" Bulma yelled as they grabbed her and Bra.
One soldier wearing green armor stepped out in front. "You're trespassing
on Neko-jin soil. Take them away!"
"That's enough!" the usually gentle voice of Calico boomed through
the compartment.
"Lord Calico!" the leader blurted out as all the followers sweatdropped and quickly bowed. "Forgive us! We did
not realize you were here and you're injured as well. Please sire, let us
escort you to the medial facility."
"Yes, and those two are with me."
he stated and glared at the guard that was holding them.
They all emptied the ship and where met by a another
crew of Neko-jins bearing weapons. They immedialty saw Calico and bowed as well, except one who was
standing in front. It was pretty obvious he wasn't a full Neko-jin.
He was very tall and had short length, blood red hair that stopped at the back
of his hair line and a row of bangs draped his forehead that lead up to two
ears on top of his head. He was wearing a long silver coat that stopped at his
ankles and cloaked his under vest and pants. He walked up to them and looked
down on the three. His red tail swayed; his cat-like emerald eyes shifted to Bulma, then Bra, then Calico. His stern look broke into a
large fanged smirk.
"Damn Calico, you look like shit." he laughed in a mocking voice.
"Then my goal of looking like you is complete." Calico smirked and
grabbed the man's extended hand.
The Neko-jin looked over Calico's shoulder and
grinned. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your mate and heir?"
Bulma's eyes bulged and a large sweatdrop
formed on Calico's head. "She is not my mate."
"Oh.......then why is this human here then?" the man raised a brow
and looked inquiring at the her.
"Hey buddy, I'm standing right here? You could at least acknowledge
that." Bulma frowned and stepped up. "And
by the way, who exactly are you?!"
"Hm, I'm mean no
offense, my lady, I'm just being precautious. I'm known as Lord Hikyuu." he smiled.
"Bulma Briefs, the pleasure is all yours."
she smirked and shook his clawed hand.
"I need to talk to you." Calico said seriously to the other Neko-jin.
"I know, or you wouldn't have came back." Hikyuu answered and helped him stand. "You need to
rest first, then........"
Calico nodded. "You two are welcome to the palace." Hikyuu said over his shoulder and disappeared into the
crowd with Calico.
Bulma shrugged and lead Bra to the palace with her.
~*~*~
The wind whisped his
lavender bangs in a halo around his face as they descended from the sky. Trunks
and Vegeta touched down in the green grass of the
Capsule Corp Compound. Vegeta, flared his nostils and stepped
inside. There was no one there; it seemed to be empty for weeks.
'What is going on? Why didn't Goku or the others try
to stop this.' Trunks thought as he walked to through
the halls of the mansion with his father.
Vegeta stopped suddenly, causing Trunks almost to
crash into him, and turned to his son. "I'm going to searching first then
we'll meet back here by sunset. And I'm not waiting for you."
Trunks nodded and Vegea took off through the back
door. Trunks snorted and ran down to his mother's lab. He ran over to one of
the cabinets and grabbed his sword. Since these 'invaders'
where all over, he might need to fight without raising his ki
much. He snapped the strap over his chest and closed the cabinet back
but not before grabbing his scouter as well.
'Goku's house could have some clues.' he thought and
went into the back yard.
He was just about to leave when he saw a blue shimmer in a bush. It sparking
his curousity, he walked over and parted the bush. A
small orange ball with a blue prism in the center laid
in the grass. It looked like I dragonball but not the
Earth ones. Trunks took it and continued off to Goku's
place.
~*~*~
The palace was a gorgeous place with many fresh cherry
blossom fields covering the landscape. The sky had turned into an pale orange as the day went on. Bulma
and Bra where treated to some new garments, made of fine silk and trimmed with
lace and treated like royalty as well.
"Mommy, lookie what I
found!" Bra chirped and held the yellow rose up to her mother.
"That's really pretty Bra. Thank you."
"When is Cali-chan coming back? I wanna play with him." the chibi
huffed and sat next to her.
"Well he said to meet him here so I'm guessing soon." she figured and
twirled the flower in her fingers. Her mind was on Vegeta
and Trunks, she hoped they would be alright.
Calico walked in and waved good bye to the demi Neko-jin he was talking to earlier.
"Kitty! You're all better!" Bra ran over to
him and hugged his leg.
"Yeah, I told ya." Calico said and walked
over to Bulma.
"Mrs.Briefs, I need to you help me find
Trunks."
The question caught her off guard. "How do you know Trunks?"
"Oh right, I forgot to mention I knew Trunks." Calico laughed.
"I guess I haven't been up to par to introduce myself much."
He led her over to a large computer and typed in some codes. Bulma looked around and saw all the pictures mounted on the
walls.
"Who are all of these royal people in the pictures?" Bulma asked to make conversation.
"Oh that's my family." he stated and pointed to a large picture with
a male Neko-jin, a woman with large angel like wings
and two boys that looked like both of them. "That's my parents and me and
my brother, Hikyuu."
"Hikyuu's you're brother?"
Calico nodded.
"Yeah I can see the resemblance." Bulma
smiled. "You guys don't look like the other Neko-jins."
"Yes, I'm half Neko-jin because of my dad and my
mom was a Tenshi-jin."
"Was?"
"They're dead."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry........."
"It's quite alright, I don't mind."
"So if those two are you're parents, then you must be
royalty too."
"Yes, a small universe, ne?"
"Right." she lauhed and
folder her arms. "So what do you do here?"
"Me and my brother rule this planet now but mostly my brother." he
answered. "I know my people come off hard at first but after the war with Frieza who wouldn't be."
"I understand."
Calico looked at the screen and showed a grid map of the closest planets.
"I need you to try and help me locate your planet in our systems."
"Do you mind if I ask why?"
"I need to find Trunks so that we can stop Reini.
She's way out of control." he snorted. "Dammit,
this just doesn't seem like her. But, I know with Trunks' power, we can do
something, I'm sure."
"Right, I'll get started then."
"Excellent."
~*~*~
With a flick of his wrist, Trunks wiped the sweat
beads from his forehead. He was forced to run the entire way from his house to Goku's. He ran in the front door and began his search. The
house was empty but someone definitely put a struggle. He examined the imprint
in the wall and glanced over to a heap of furniture on the ground. He gasped
and ran over after catching a glimpse of blonde underneath. With ease he tossed
the load aside and lifted Marron in his strong arms.
"Marron? Marron?
Answer me!"
She opened her eyes slightly and immediately shut them again, not having the strength
for even that. Trunks reached into his pocket and pulled out a senzu bean. He slide the bean into
her mouth and helped her swallow. Marron's eyes
flutter and began to wake up. Trunks smiled with relief, he was surprised she
stayed alive that long. He slide his arm around her
waist and helped her to sit up.
"Trunks? Where did you come from?" Marron asked and rubbed her eyes.
"I had to come back early with my dad. And I'm glad I did, you wouldn't
have lasted much longer." his warm smiled shifted into a hard look. "Marron, what the hell's going on? Where is
my mom and Bra and the others?"
"It was some lady.......wearing a red robe.......she wasn't human, that's
for sure......."
"And the others?"
"They where taken.......in a force field of some kind and they took
Mrs.Son, your mom and little sister too." Marron sighed, seeing the expression on Trunks' face.
"I'm sorry Trunks, I tried to stop them. Really, that's how I got hurt
and........"
"It's ok Marron just........"
Trunks whipped his sword from his holster and flipped it up vertically. The
sword pierced through the bottom of an intruders chin and stuck through the top
of his skull. Trunks pulled his blade forward and split the man's face in two,
causing blood to splatter on Marron.
"Trunks look out!" Marron screamed.
Trunks spinned on his heels and caught the spear in a
warrior's hand just as it was about to hit him. Trunks swung his sword and
split the man in two. Another threw his spear throught
the window, nearly striking Marron if Trunks hadn't
grabbed her. With Marron tightly aroung
his back, Trunks crashed through the window and slit the man's throat open.
Another ran directly toward Trunks, swinging a large mallet over his head.
Trunks ducked under and disected the alien from his
collar bone to his privates, it's coarse making a sicking splatter to the bright green grass below.
The remaining two began to retreat but Trunks was in hot persuit.
Trunks jumped into the air and stabbed him in the back of the head. The last
warrior screamed for his life as he tried to fly faster. Trunks scolded then
threw his sword across the hill. It sored through the
crisp and embedded itself though his back and through his rib cage, pinning the
victim to a thick oak tree. Trunks walked over and pulled his sword from the
body and slid it back into its holster. He brushed a lock of hair from his
crystalline blue eyes and smiled over his shoulder.
"You okay back there?" he asked a very pale and sick looking Marron; she had never seen so much blood in her life.
"Sure........" was all she mustered and buried her face in his back.
"Marron, do you think anyone is left, the special forces I mean, still on Earth?"
"Um.......not sure, maybe Mr.Yamcha
or Mr.Tien? I'm pretty sure their still
here."
"That would be great, if we can find them in time." he said, looking
at the sky. It was another hour until sunset and he had to move fast.
"Hang on, I've got a plan."
~*~*~
"Dammit, I can't locate him anywhere." Bulma huffed.
"Mrs.Briefs, you've already found the planet
right?" Calico asked, leaning on his elbow.
Bulma nodded.
"Then maybe try locaing his scouter."
"But that's back at my lab."
"Just try it anyway, with any luck he's most likely already returned
home."
After a few seconds of typing and clicking, she located the scouter
and it was on the move too.
"Hey, I think I've found him!"
Calico smirked and walked over to the controls. "Perfect."
~*~*~
"Damn, we should have left when we had a chance. We're runnin'
low on food here!" Oolong cried under a homemade fort with Master Roshi, Puar and Turtle.
"Quiet Oolong, I'm trying to read ma' magazines! Tee hee
hee. Oh yeah baby!" the pervert old man drooled
and grinned at the graphic pictures.
"Hey! Quit hoggin' it!"
"You can talk pork chop!"
"Stop fightin you two!" the little cat
creature tried to reason.
"Yeah." the slow reptile added his two cents, too.
The pair tusseled quite bit until they heard a thump
coming from outside.
"What was that?"
"How should I know?" Roshi frowned and
snatched back his smut.
"Master Roshi, it sound like its
in the house!" Turtle shrieked and hid under a blanket with Puar.
"Ok, ok, I'll go see." Master Roshi popped
his head out the top and snatched it back in. "There no one, now back to
ma' readin'!"
Suddenly the roof of the fort was snatched off and the four screamed and made
separate bee-lines to different hiding places.
"Where all gonna die!"
"No we're not, its just Trunks...and Marron
too." the catlike creature cheered and floated over to them.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you guys." Trunks apologized and set Marron down. "Are Yamcha or Tien here?"
"No, they went to fight that army that came to Earth." Roshi filled in and sat on the floor. "Stranged how they just showed up like that........"
'Excellent, now I can meet with father. The others should be able to
handle it.' Trunks figured and headed toward the door.
Marron ran up to him and grabbed his firm arm.
"You're leaving?"
"Yes, I told my father I would meet him back at Capsule Corp. by
sundown."
"Oh........"
"Look Marron, take these." Trunks said
gently and placed a few beans to her small hand.
"Thanks Trunks." Marron smiled and kissed
him sweetly on the lips. "Come back safe, ok?"
"Right." Trunks' voice broke and he blushed victioulsy.
He leapt out the front door and took off in the direction of Capsule Corp. Marron smiled and sighed as Master Roshi
and Co. look on with very large grins.
~*~*~
Trunks? Trunks? Are you there? the scouter beeped in his ear.
Hello?
*sigh of relief* Its me.
Calico!? Dear Dende, you're still alive!
You know they can't get me down that easily.
Where are you?
I'm on my planet.
New Neko-sei?
Yes, I have your mother and sister with me as well.
*large sigh* Thanks man, I owe you.
Don't worry about it but we need to talk.
I'm all ears.
~*~*~
"Father!" Trunks called from the sky.
"It took long enough." the prince huffed.
"Hm, its just in time
for me." a voice smirked.
The two saiyans turned and saw a figure on a hill,
Trunks immediatly recognizing it.
"Reini?"
