Dragon Ball Dilemma 2: Different Worlds
Chapter 2: The Outlaw Star
The outlaw star exited the Earth's atmosphere.
"Welcome to the Outlaw Star. My name is Gillian, ship computer," Gillian greeted.
"Hello," Pan and Trunks said.
"So where are we headed?" Trunks asked.
"Sentinel 3, it's where we live, basically," Jean replied. Trunks nodded and took a seat next to Pan.
"Some honeymoon," Trunks said. Pan giggled.
"It's not your fault. Besides, this is proving to be very interesting," Pan replied.
"So you two just got married?" Jean asked.
"Yea," Pan replied with a happy smile.
"When we get to Sentinel 3, we'll treat you to dinner," Jean said.
"We can pay our way. We don't exactly eat like normal humans," Trunks replied.
"Well, are you human? You sure have mysterious powers that normal humans sure don't have. You can tell us, it's not like we aren't familiar with other races. I mean, look at Aisha," Jean said. Trunks and Pan decided that he was right.
"All right, I am one half, and Pan is one quarter of a race known as the saiyans," Trunks began. Throughout the trip, Trunks and Pan told them the story of the saiyans and their trials. How the planet Vegeta was destroyed, Goku's transformation, their trip to the past and their horrible reality with the androids, how their parents met and how they came to be.
"Wow, that's some story," Jean said.
"These saiyans sound like great warriors. How bout we spar sometime, I'd like to see how you both measure up to a ctarl ctarl," Aisha said.
"Sure," Trunks replied.
"We're coming in to Sentinel 3, prepare for landing everyone," Jean said. They nodded and obeyed. The Outlaw Star landed and the crew disembarked.
"Let's eat," Jean said.
"I second that," Trunks said as he held his stomach.
The crew headed off for a local restaurant.
Jean, Jim, Suzuka, and Melfina ordered good-sized meals. Aisha ordered a seven course meal. And Trunks and Pan ordered two seven course meals each. No one believed that they would be able to eat it all. After a lengthy wait, they finally got their food. The hungry saiyans began devouring their meals at an alarming rate. The crew of the Outlaw Star could barely eat their own meals, because they watched Trunks and Pan in awe. About an hour later, the pair had finished. Even Aisha was in awe.
"Where did you put all that food? If I ate that much I'd be as big as a blimp!" Jim exclaimed.
"It's just the way saiyans are. Our metabolisms are incredibly high, and we burn so much energy when we fight and spar. In fact, we never go into a battle on an empty stomach. We'd get worn out," Trunks said.
"Truly amazing. I noticed that you carry a sword. I wonder if you'd spar with me using your sword?" Suzuka said.
"Sure," Trunks replied.
Suddenly, a man dressed in a black trench coat approached their table.
"Jean Starwind?" he asked.
"Yea, I'm Jean, what's it to ya?" Jean asked. Suddenly, the man pulled a gun on him.
"Another bounty hunter," Jean said.
"I'll handle this one Jean," Trunks said.
"You stay out of this punk!" the man yelled as he fired a bullet at Trunks. Trunks caught the bullet and then drew his sword. He delivered a drop spin kick to the man, causing him to topple to the ground. Trunks brought his sword to the guys' throat and Jean approached him.
"Who keeps sending you guys? I want an answer," Jean said.
"I aint telling you nothing pal!" the man yelled. Trunks pushed the blade closer to the man's skin.
"Ahhhh... all right, I'll tell you! It was Harry McDougal's brother. Harry wants Melfina, and wants you dead!" the man blurted.
"You lie! Harry is dead!" Jean yelled.
"No, his brother got him help and they were able to save him," the man replied.
Trunks withdrew his sword and the man scrambled out of the restaurant.
Trunks and Jean paid the checks and they left. Soon, they arrived at the Starwind and Hawking offices.
"This is it, feel free to make yourselves at home. There's a spare bedroom that you two can use," Jean said.
"Thanks," Trunks said.
"No, thank you. You've saved all of our lives twice now. We owe you,' Jean said.
"No problem," Trunks replied.
"Let's all get some sleep. We have to go see Fred in the morning," Jean said.
"Not Fred Lowe!" Jim cried.
"Cool it Jim, we're running low on cash," Jean said. Jim sighed in exasperation.
"Good night everyone," Pan said as she and Trunks headed upstairs to the bedroom.
"Good night," the others replied, as they all went to bed for the night.
AN: Hope you liked it! In the next chapter, the crew goes to see Fred. Another bounty hunter makes an attempt on Jean's life, and Jean spoils a kidnapping attempt on Melfina. Trunks and Pan also spar against Aisha and Suzuka! And for all you fans, there will be some Jean/Melfina romance in the future, as well as more Trunks/Pan! Thanks for reading and don't forget to review! Later!
