Well... this chapter is going to come out a lot sooner than I had expected... Only because Blink is sick
and at home, and very very ill, so I didn't have to go to school. Yay! Score 1 for Blink, school 0. Anyways
I don't really know where this chapter is going to go, maybe some Trunks/Diamond friendship? Maybe
a little more? I don't know, things will work out... I'm just not sure where to place everything yet... X.X
Stupid Stupid Stupid Me...

^*^*^*^*^ Chapter 5 ^*^*^*^*^
Diamond looked up to the sky, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. 'That face... I know that face... It's that guy...'
She looked around for Eve and Jeff, but they had already run off. 'Psh... thanks guys...' she thought quietly to herself.
'This is great, I'm now in this forest, with the guy who saved my life, and there's nothing I can do...but... go to see him...'
She took to the air, quickly scanning to make sure that no 'regular' people were around. 'Good.' she thought. Quickly
launching herself up to the area where the spaceship had landed, she began to look around. Not a sign of anyone, but the
ship was still there. She began to scan there area slowly, looking for any sign of life, but to no avail.
She sighed and sat down on a big rock. 'What's the point of going home now, if I can make it there in like 3 minutes...'
she began to slowly drift off to sleep when a pair of blue eyes were right in front of hers. She jumped up with a shout and
fell down onto the hard rock.
"Owww!" *she rubbed her back* "Don't scare me like that!" *she yelled at the boy*
*he laughs* "Sorry... I didn't mean to, but I figured it was the only way to get your attention..."
*she looked up into the boys face, and quickly realized who it was. She laughed for a second or so and go to her feet.*
"What are you doing back in this time..?" she inquired.
"So you do remember me..." *he laughed* "I've come to give something to your father, and make my rounds for a while... To get stronger..."
*she looked at him, caught in the crystal look of his eyes.* 'Oh how they sparkled in the pale sunlight. His arms, so strong, just
residing there, waiting for some action... His... Diamond! Shutup!'
"Oh... uhm, my father you say... I can take you to him, if you like..." she shivered as the suns light began to turn into a darkening
sky.
"That would be great..." he looked over at her, and noticed her shivering. "Here... take my coat..." he said his voice low
and his breath against the back of her neck.
"Oh... why... thank you..." she said, her cheeks flushing. "If you would follow me please..."
*he nodded silently and took to the air, following after Diamond, who sprung ahead, great speed coming from her.*
Diamond let many fierce thoughts erupt through her mind as she sped on. Why did he come back? What exactly does he want with
my father? Why does his coat smell so good? She shook her head at the last thought and kept her head forward onto getting
back home quickly and to her parents. The ice cool air began to nip at her cheek bones quickly. With the rush of wind pushing
against her and the hot flare of her flying, she was caught in quite the middle draft. With mixed emotions, tons of fears,
and a heart sprouting with a new found warmth, she kept her eyes straight and quickly made it back to her home.
She touched down on the ground next to a tall oak tree, waiting for Trunks to land. A few moments later, his purple flare landed
to the earth and he looked around at the small house. He nodded his head to her and she began to walk towards the house,
where she was little leary about letting him come in. What if he was something that was trying to kill them? What if he
was a spy for Vegeta?
What if... what if... what if...
She had let her mind wander for too long, because before she knew it, the young man was standing next to her, his eyes
fixed upon hers. She shook her head, nodded, and mumbled a quick apology before she opened the door to the house.
The young man just looked at the spot where she stood, his eyes wide, and his thoughts rummaging around for a second, before
he realized that she had entered the house and was motioning for him to enter. He nodded and entered through the doorway,
walking in only a little bit before he stopped and looked around.
Diamond shut the door snuggly behind him as he entered and came up behind him, admiring the features of his backside before
she brought herself to show him into the living room while she went to fetch her parents. She felt ackward in his prescence,
if his blue eyes were searching for something in her, whether it be a weakness or strength. All she knew was that the
feeling she got from him was not one that she liked all that much. (A.N.~ My dog finally got up, and I am entirley
thankful because he has the worst smelling dog breath ever! ~.^ 3Blink)
Goku had heard the door shut downstairs, but hadn't heard another sound after that, so he decided to go downstairs and check
it out. He reached the staircase leading from the upstairs and peered down into the eyes of his daughter. He searched her
mind for a moment before he nodded, and came down the stairs slowly, looking into the living room. Diamond nodded to her father
as he began to move toward the living room. She let out a heavy sigh and looked out after he father as he walked towards
the young man, who she had her doubts about.
'I don't know what I'm so scared of...' she sighed. 'He saved my life once before, who knows, he could be here to save
my fathers for all I know..'
She turned and looked into the living room, where she saw her father and the young man deep in conversation already. She sighed
and looked out the nearby window and saw the night sky, free of clouds. She made a slow move for the door, making it
totally evident that she was heading out. Goku called a quick, "Don't be out too long..." and with that Diamond was out the
door and on to do whatever she wanted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Briefs Residence ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma walked lightly around the Capsule Corporation house, her head high in the clouds. Yamcha had been by earlier
that day, but not in the way anyone had expected. Yamcha had knocked on the door lightly in his street clothes,
and to his dismay, Bulma had opened the door. She took one quick look, laughed at him, and punched him square
in the face before he could say another word.
Everyone in the room turned to stare at her. Ms. Briefs mouth dropped agape, while her father just got up and left
the room. Bulma shouted a few obsenities out the door, including something about another girl, and with that, she shut
the door promptly in his face. She turned and stalked from the door, her mind racing with thoughts.
She had been in town yesterday, and had witnessed Yamcha and some blonde bimbo sharing a very 'wet' moment in the ice
cream parlor. Bulma was so disgusted and mad that she had paid the waitress tending to her at her table to dump a banana
split on Yamcha's head. She had walked out of there feeling calm, cool, and collected, and only a tad bit mischevous.
Now she was single again, and was rather loving it. She could work fully in her own lab, without having to go out on
dates with that two-timing bastard, and she didn't have to answer his constant phone calls to her to ask for money.
Quite frankly, she was not sad in the least bit. Well, maybe a little bit. They had been together for... a long while.
Always off and on again, it was something she was pretty accustomed to, and now that he was probably going to come
crawling back to her tomorrow, she would have to use every ounce of willpower she had to push him away.
Bulma sat silently in her lab, her face staring down at the floor, trying as hard as possible to push the tears that were
now forming in her eyes away. She wasn't going to cry over Yamcha, it was for the better. Way for the better. She had
to keep telling herself that, but after about the 500th time, she finally let the feelings inside her come out and she broke
into a heaping sob on the floor.
Vegeta, who had been in the GR the whole time came stomping down the hall and charged right into her lab, not even bothering
to knock on the door. Bulma instantly sat bolt-right up and wiped her tears away as fast as possible. As he entered she
gathered herself to her feet so that he wouldn't think of her as weak and nodded her head towards him.
"Woman... why are you crying...?" Vegeta asked after an ackward silence.
"I-Yamcha... Over..." Bulma said through hysterical sobs.
"So, you've dropped the puny weakling have you, I must say it's about time...." Vegeta said with a smirk.
(And you know what, that's where I'm going to leave this off, because well you all KNOW what happens between those 2, so
I'm going to get back to the original plot ling now, 'shanks)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In a forest near the Son-Residence ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Diamond had walked out of her house, and had no intention to fly anywhere. She didn't want to take off in a blurry of
emotion and have no idea where she would end up. Instead, she kept to the ground, walking slowly to a forest near her
house where she had gone a few times to read. Sometimes there was just never enough time to be alone in her house, what
with Chi-Chi nagging her about not going to college, and Goku asking her to spar. She sighed as the brisk night air whipped
against her face, but was suprised when her arms felt relativley warm. She looked down and noticed that she still had Trunks'
jacket on. She laughed and blushed as she remembered how she had gotten to wear it in the first place.
She sighed and shook her head of thoughts. The moon above shined paley onto her light gold skin and played softly in her
hair. 'I'm a night person...' she thought with a grin. The parties, the lights, the sounds, it all made her feel alive.
Her feelings would scream at her from the inside out, and the nighthawk inside would slowly pry it's way out. 'Now...
dont' get me wrong...' she thought, 'I've haven't touched a single drop of alcohol in my life... But just the thought of it
makes me feel... high...'
"I guess you could say I get high on the fact that I'm still living..." she said aloud to no one in particular. She wanted
more than anything for Eve, Trunks, or even Jeff to be with her right now. She was getting that uneasy feeling in the pit
of her stomach, you know, the one that alerts you to danger. Her thoughts began to spin around to what it could possibly
be and she sighed.
"Whatever you are, I hope you know what your going to have to deal with!" she called aloud, just as a swooping figure came
down and landed about 20 feet from her. Followed by another, and another, and another... Diamond groaned, this is not the
kind of fight she was hopping for. A little bit of skin on skin with one person she could handle right now. But because
of how emotionally and physically exhuasted she was, 10 bird/men things was not going to be an easy thing.
She was about to turn around and run back to her house, which couldn't of been too much more than a mile away, when the
figure that seemed to be leading the group stepped forward, closing the gap between her and it. 19 feet... now 15 feet.
'Oh shit, it's getting closer and I don't even know what it wants!' she screamed in her head. The figure now closed the
gap to a shocking 5 feet, before Diamond actually remembered that she was about to engage in battle. She stood straight
as a board, hoping they weren't looking for a fight, but as it stood right in front of her, she tensed up and began to
shiver.
Diamond stared face to face with a purplish blue bird/man creature. It had long wings on it's back like a bird, but it
stood on two legs like a man, had claws on both it's feet and hands, and had a beak. Her breathing soon came in light,
erratic gasps as a single clawed hand reached to her face and cupped her chin. It pulled her face closer to it's, until
she was less than centimeters away. She shuddered in it's grasp, and before she knew it, she had been knocked backwards
onto the ground, her mind spinning as a cold substance dripped from somewhere on the top of her her forehead. She reached
a shaking hand upwards and let her fingers linger for a moment in the liquid, before she brought them back to her face
and groaned. Blood.
She gathered herself to her feet, and instantly flared her ki up. If it was a battle they were looking for, it was going to
be a battle they would get. A damn good one at that too. She let a purple ki enwrap her body, as she glared head on at the
leader 'Phrawk.' (Yes, they are now named Phrawks, i'm sick of calling them bird/men) She took a few solemn steps forward
before she flew straight on at the leader 'Phrawk.' Unfortunatley, he may be able to walk the walk, but he couldn't talk
the talk. As soon as he saw her rebound from his hit, he bolted straight into the air and took a seat high above, watching
her fighting style and technique.
Diamond had been more than just a little pissed off when the leader 'Phrawk' had jumped to the air, but she blew it off in
her mind, realizing that she had 9 others to fight before she could finish her beef with him. Lunging at the nearest and
what looked like the 4th biggest one, Diamond landed a sizeable punch in it's face, knocking it back about 4 yards before it
regained it's balance. The Phrawks began to make a circle around her all 9, all of them enclosing in upon her at once, lessening
the gap, making it harder for her to breath. She felt as if a heavy boulder had been pressed against her chest as they gained
a few more feet on her. She stumbled backwards and realized suddenly, 'They must have mental powers too... There's no way I'll
survive this against 10! 1 or 2... maybe...' she thought with a weak frown. She thought about screaming for help, but no...
Saiyans just didn't do that, and she wasn't going to be one to disgrace her own blood line when Vegeta lived on the same
planet as her. There was no way she wanted him after her blood. Her mind raced as the group around her closed in, closer
and closer they had become, until she felt like she couldn't breath anymore.
Diamond sat on the ground, her arms curled around her legs, breathing barely, her head swimming. 'I'm drowning... I'm drowning
in my own thoughts... They're using myself against... myself...' she thought weakly. But no, I'm not going to go like this.
Not when I've just met someone I think I can really connect with, not when I've just found my family. Not now, not ever!!
She stood to her feet, looking at the ugly face of a Phrawk right in front of her. She just about had it, she stopped feeding
into the want to hold back, the human blood inside her. She remembered faintly a friendly yellow light enveloping her
as she exploded with rage. Her body shook, her limbs strengthed, and her mind blanked, as the animal inside took over. Her
rage, her emotions, and her family fueled her power, and within moments, bolts of electricity flew around her body in a swirling
yellowish color. Her naturally black hair had flared up and changed to blonde, and her normally happy dancing blueish black eyes
were now stone cold and green. She looked bitterly at the Phrawks in front of her, and grinned a menacing grin.
~*~*~*~*~ Back at the Real-Son residence, not the forest ~*~*~*~*~
Goku felt his mind and body clench as a familiar power erupted from the forest about a mile or so away. His mind twitched
as the face of a girl filled his mind, her hair standing with blonde precision, her eyes stone cold and hard. 'Another
Super Saiyan...' he thought to himself. Something must be up, no one turns Super Saiyan while just going out on a walk!
Goku searched deeper in his mind and noticed Trunks doing the same. After what seemed like ages, both of them jumped to their
feet, realizing exactly what had made her step up to this new power. "Phwarks..." they both spoke aloud. Without
so much as a second thought, both Goku and Trunks had flew out the door, in wild pursuit of what would be a spectacular
battle.
As they reached the scence, 4 of the 10 phwarks were on the ground, dead. But nothing else remained at the scene, all of them
had vanished, including Diamond, without so much as a power surge, or a clue to where they could have gone. They both
stood on the ground, neither of them feeling uncomfortable around the other anymore. There was a knowing bond existing
between them, and Goku could sense nothing but good energy from Trunks, so he decided he was a good lad.
Trunks shut his eyes tightly and tried to picture what the scene had looked like before they arrived, just a trace of what may
have happened he kept wishing in his mind. "Goddammit!" he cursed aloud as a faint image rushed to his mind.
*Flashback, somewhat I guess you could say*
Diamond had stood her ground, even with her new found power, she couldn't keep them out of her mind. After taking out four
of the 9, they had once again regained control over her thoughts and were using them against her. She squirmed as all of
her thoughts were poured into their hands, and they re-directed them back at her, causing her to fall to the ground, her
body wriggling with fear. 'If only I hadn't gone for that walk...' she thought dully as her mind slowly began to shut down
and her breathing slowed. They were getting closer, their hideous faces were coming so close, it almost looked like
the wanted to kiss her. But before they could land the mark on the kill, the leader Phrawk swooped down and picked her up
in it's clawed hands, and called down to the rest of them. The remaining Phrawks disappeared with a 'fwoosh' and the leader
Phwark floated above the ground, Diamond in his hands for a few moments. He brought a claw up to her face and scratched her
hard near the eyes, causing 2 gashes of blood to flow. Her mind raced with thoughts. He adminstered a few more 'slashes' as
they flew through the air and back to it's 'nest.'
Phwarks had an odd power, if someone with a high power level was in at least a 5 feet radius of them, they totally vanished
from the earth. Their power level got covered up and it seemed as if they were totally erased. Diamond had a hard time
controlling her thoughts as she flew through the air, gathered close to the body of the Phrawk. She felt it's feather
flicking in her face, but she couldn't open her eyes, the pain was too harsh. She could faintly feel one of it's claws
sinking deep into her lower back, but the pain seemed so far away as did her own thoughts. She could feel the Phwark touch
down onto the ground with a thud, and then her own body being thrown into something hard and stoney like. She saw nor heard
anything else.
*End Flashback, somewhat I guess you could say*
Trunks had vaguely seen the route that the Phwark had taken to it's nest, and quickly told Goku.
"Ok, if we're going to get to her before they turn her own thoughts into her death, then we'll have to move quick..." said Goku
quickly as he took to the air, Trunks following suit, and the both of them setting off in the sky.
Trunks set off with such an enormous power that it had amazed Goku. 'He seems kinda mad,' he thought to himself. 'There
seems to be a bond between the two of them, it's really odd, because they seem to have just met...' Goku trailed off in his
mind and forgot what they were flying for/towards until he touched down on the cliff of a mountain and saw about 10 Phwarks
walk out of a cave.
"Goku!!!" called Trunks. "Don't open your mind to them... They'll use it against you!" he yelled to him as he took off, fists
flying at the nearest Phwark. Flaring up his Ki as he went, a golden light encircled him and he took out one Phwark
after another, clearing his mind of all thoughts. Goku followed suit, his hair standing on end and turning a bright
shade of yellow. He leapt with a yell and pummeled the first Phwark he saw. Both of them fought through all of the Phwarks
ravenously until they were all dead. All dead besides the leader Phwark.
Walking slowly out of the cave, a 8'4" Phwark laughed menacingly at the two super saiyans.
"I suppose you've come to collect this..." he said slowly, holding a limp body out in front of him. He laughed menacingly
as he once again plunged his deep claws into her back, but yet she didn't respond to the pain. Her eyes barely open, and her
mind totally blank, she drifted into another darkness that came with a terrible price. She groaned as she felt the ground
rush up to meet her, and she lay there, unmoving.
"I guess if you'd like to take her, you can... But there's really no point, she's almost dead anyways... I could finish
her off for you if you'd like..." he said menacingly. He took a step forward, and put his foot against her face, but with
no pressure.
Goku and Trunks, watched for a moment, before realizing what he meant. They both flung off the handle and lunged at him,
fists tight and minds clear. One fist after another flew into the face of the Phwark, causing him to stumble back a few steps.
The Phwark caught a flailing mad Trunks in his clawed hand and growled. The Phwark was not quite prepared for the two strong
super saiyans to both fly at him at once, so he was more than just a little peeved off. Trunks spat in his face and felt
his feet land on the ground. Having enough with this weakling, Goku growled and broght his hands together at this side.
"Ka-meh-ha-meh-ha!!" he shouted as a white energy blast erupted from his hands and shot quickly at the Phwark. Taken completely
aback as the energy hit him, the Phwark screamed in pain as his body began to disinegrate. Cursing aloud and promising
to return, the Phwark died where it stood, screaming with rage.
Trunks brought his hand to his mouth and wiped a small stream of blood from the corner. He laughed a bit and turned to Goku
who had an enraged look on his face. He walked over and put his hand on his shoulder and nodded. "It's over Goku... you
killed him, he won't bug us anymore..." he said reassuringly. Both of the men nodded in agreeance and stood there for a
moment, before they both realized why they had actually come here.
"Oh shit Goku, this doesn't look good..." said Trunks as he lifted a limp Diamond into his arms, just barely looking her
over and noticing multiple scratch and claw marks. He sighed and took to the air, knowing that the only place they could
go from here was the hospital. Goku rose into the air and followed suit, not really thinking much, just following behind
blindly.
Trunks flew with an enormous speed and agility, and closed his eyes for the most part, growling at how this could have
happened. 'She just... walked out... with a simple goodbye and said 'I'll be back later...' And now this...' he thought
quietly to himself.
As the hospital came into view, Diamond's eyes rose open warily and she couldn't help but smile to find herself in the arms
of her 'saviour' once more. She groaned and looked up at him as he looked down. His eyes filled with laughter as he saw
her awake, nowing that she would most likely survive from the attack. She closed her eyes for a minute in pain and reopened
them, speaking in a painfully hoarse voice.
"Well... it looks like you've saved me once more..." she said quietly. He had indeed saved her life once again, bringing
her back from the cave of Phwarks and taking her now to the hospital, her father following suit.
"So I really have no choice but to pay you back..." she said after another moment.
"Pay me back? But... for what?" he asked stupidly.
"For saving my life dummy..." she said laughing and wheezing at the same time. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth
and she sighed. "I would have died if I had been left there any longer... I let them have control of my mind... I guess
I have a lot to learn..." she said, still staring harshly into his eyes.
"No... seriously it's quite alright, I don't mind saving your life, I feel like I must..." he said quietly. Honestly,
he said to himself, there's a connection between you and me, Diamond, and I'm determined to make it grow stronger. But little
did he know, that she would make the first step towards that.
"Fine, then let me repay you this way..." she said quietly as she brought her arms limply around his neck and caught his lips
in a full on kiss.

She looked around for Eve and Jeff, but they had already run off. 'Psh... thanks guys...' she thought quietly to herself.

split on Yamcha's head. She had walked out of there feeling calm, cool, and collected, and only a tad bit mischevous.

Bulma sat silently in her lab, her face staring down at the floor, trying as hard as possible to push the tears that were
now forming in her eyes away. She wasn't going to cry over Yamcha, it was for the better. Way for the better. She had
to keep telling herself that, but after about the 500th time, she finally let the feelings inside her come out and she broke
into a heaping sob on the floor.
Vegeta, who had been in the GR the whole time came stomping down the hall and charged right into her lab, not even bothering
to knock on the door. Bulma instantly sat bolt-right up and wiped her tears away as fast as possible. As he entered she
gathered herself to her feet so that he wouldn't think of her as weak and nodded her head towards him.
"Woman... why are you crying...?" Vegeta asked after an ackward silence.
"I-Yamcha... Over..." Bulma said through hysterical sobs.
"So, you've dropped the puny weakling have you, I must say it's about time...." Vegeta said with a smirk.
(And you know what, that's where I'm going to leave this off, because well you all KNOW what happens between those 2, so
I'm going to get back to the original plot ling now, 'shanks)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In a forest near the Son-Residence ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Diamond had walked out of her house, and had no intention to fly anywhere. She didn't want to take off in a blurry of
emotion and have no idea where she would end up. Instead, she kept to the ground, walking slowly to a forest near her
house where she had gone a few times to read. Sometimes there was just never enough time to be alone in her house, what
with Chi-Chi nagging her about not going to college, and Goku asking her to spar. She sighed as the brisk night air whipped
against her face, but was suprised when her arms felt relativley warm. She looked down and noticed that she still had Trunks'
jacket on. She laughed and blushed as she remembered how she had gotten to wear it in the first place.
She sighed and shook her head of thoughts. The moon above shined paley onto her light gold skin and played softly in her
hair. 'I'm a night person...' she thought with a grin. The parties, the lights, the sounds, it all made her feel alive.
Her feelings would scream at her from the inside out, and the nighthawk inside would slowly pry it's way out. 'Now...
dont' get me wrong...' she thought, 'I've haven't touched a single drop of alcohol in my life... But just the thought of it
makes me feel... high...'
"I guess you could say I get high on the fact that I'm still living..." she said aloud to no one in particular. She wanted
more than anything for Eve, Trunks, or even Jeff to be with her right now. She was getting that uneasy feeling in the pit
of her stomach, you know, the one that alerts you to danger. Her thoughts began to spin around to what it could possibly
be and she sighed.
"Whatever you are, I hope you know what your going to have to deal with!" she called aloud, just as a swooping figure came
down and landed about 20 feet from her. Followed by another, and another, and another... Diamond groaned, this is not the
kind of fight she was hopping for. A little bit of skin on skin with one person she could handle right now. But because
of how emotionally and physically exhuasted she was, 10 bird/men things was not going to be an easy thing.
She was about to turn around and run back to her house, which couldn't of been too much more than a mile away, when the
figure that seemed to be leading the group stepped forward, closing the gap between her and it. 19 feet... now 15 feet.
'Oh shit, it's getting closer and I don't even know what it wants!' she screamed in her head. The figure now closed the
gap to a shocking 5 feet, before Diamond actually remembered that she was about to engage in battle. She stood straight
as a board, hoping they weren't looking for a fight, but as it stood right in front of her, she tensed up and began to
shiver.
Diamond stared face to face with a purplish blue bird/man creature. It had long wings on it's back like a bird, but it
stood on two legs like a man, had claws on both it's feet and hands, and had a beak. Her breathing soon came in light,
erratic gasps as a single clawed hand reached to her face and cupped her chin. It pulled her face closer to it's, until
she was less than centimeters away. She shuddered in it's grasp, and before she knew it, she had been knocked backwards
onto the ground, her mind spinning as a cold substance dripped from somewhere on the top of her her forehead. She reached
a shaking hand upwards and let her fingers linger for a moment in the liquid, before she brought them back to her face
and groaned. Blood.
She gathered herself to her feet, and instantly flared her ki up. If it was a battle they were looking for, it was going to
be a battle they would get. A damn good one at that too. She let a purple ki enwrap her body, as she glared head on at the
leader 'Phrawk.' (Yes, they are now named Phrawks, i'm sick of calling them bird/men) She took a few solemn steps forward
before she flew straight on at the leader 'Phrawk.' Unfortunatley, he may be able to walk the walk, but he couldn't talk
the talk. As soon as he saw her rebound from his hit, he bolted straight into the air and took a seat high above, watching
her fighting style and technique.
Diamond had been more than just a little pissed off when the leader 'Phrawk' had jumped to the air, but she blew it off in
her mind, realizing that she had 9 others to fight before she could finish her beef with him. Lunging at the nearest and
what looked like the 4th biggest one, Diamond landed a sizeable punch in it's face, knocking it back about 4 yards before it
regained it's balance. The Phrawks began to make a circle around her all 9, all of them enclosing in upon her at once, lessening
the gap, making it harder for her to breath. She felt as if a heavy boulder had been pressed against her chest as they gained
a few more feet on her. She stumbled backwards and realized suddenly, 'They must have mental powers too... There's no way I'll
survive this against 10! 1 or 2... maybe...' she thought with a weak frown. She thought about screaming for help, but no...
Saiyans just didn't do that, and she wasn't going to be one to disgrace her own blood line when Vegeta lived on the same
planet as her. There was no way she wanted him after her blood. Her mind raced as the group around her closed in, closer
and closer they had become, until she felt like she couldn't breath anymore.
Diamond sat on the ground, her arms curled around her legs, breathing barely, her head swimming. 'I'm drowning... I'm drowning
in my own thoughts... They're using myself against... myself...' she thought weakly. But no, I'm not going to go like this.
Not when I've just met someone I think I can really connect with, not when I've just found my family. Not now, not ever!!
She stood to her feet, looking at the ugly face of a Phrawk right in front of her. She just about had it, she stopped feeding
into the want to hold back, the human blood inside her. She remembered faintly a friendly yellow light enveloping her
as she exploded with rage. Her body shook, her limbs strengthed, and her mind blanked, as the animal inside took over. Her
rage, her emotions, and her family fueled her power, and within moments, bolts of electricity flew around her body in a swirling
yellowish color. Her naturally black hair had flared up and changed to blonde, and her normally happy dancing blueish black eyes
were now stone cold and green. She looked bitterly at the Phrawks in front of her, and grinned a menacing grin.
~*~*~*~*~ Back at the Real-Son residence, not the forest ~*~*~*~*~
Goku felt his mind and body clench as a familiar power erupted from the forest about a mile or so away. His mind twitched
as the face of a girl filled his mind, her hair standing with blonde precision, her eyes stone cold and hard. 'Another
Super Saiyan...' he thought to himself. Something must be up, no one turns Super Saiyan while just going out on a walk!
Goku searched deeper in his mind and noticed Trunks doing the same. After what seemed like ages, both of them jumped to their
feet, realizing exactly what had made her step up to this new power. "Phwarks..." they both spoke aloud. Without
so much as a second thought, both Goku and Trunks had flew out the door, in wild pursuit of what would be a spectacular
battle.
As they reached the scence, 4 of the 10 phwarks were on the ground, dead. But nothing else remained at the scene, all of them
had vanished, including Diamond, without so much as a power surge, or a clue to where they could have gone. They both
stood on the ground, neither of them feeling uncomfortable around the other anymore. There was a knowing bond existing
between them, and Goku could sense nothing but good energy from Trunks, so he decided he was a good lad.
Trunks shut his eyes tightly and tried to picture what the scene had looked like before they arrived, just a trace of what may
have happened he kept wishing in his mind. "Goddammit!" he cursed aloud as a faint image rushed to his mind.
*Flashback, somewhat I guess you could say*
Diamond had stood her ground, even with her new found power, she couldn't keep them out of her mind. After taking out four
of the 9, they had once again regained control over her thoughts and were using them against her. She squirmed as all of
her thoughts were poured into their hands, and they re-directed them back at her, causing her to fall to the ground, her
body wriggling with fear. 'If only I hadn't gone for that walk...' she thought dully as her mind slowly began to shut down
and her breathing slowed. They were getting closer, their hideous faces were coming so close, it almost looked like
the wanted to kiss her. But before they could land the mark on the kill, the leader Phrawk swooped down and picked her up
in it's clawed hands, and called down to the rest of them. The remaining Phrawks disappeared with a 'fwoosh' and the leader
Phwark floated above the ground, Diamond in his hands for a few moments. He brought a claw up to her face and scratched her
hard near the eyes, causing 2 gashes of blood to flow. Her mind raced with thoughts. He adminstered a few more 'slashes' as
they flew through the air and back to it's 'nest.'
Phwarks had an odd power, if someone with a high power level was in at least a 5 feet radius of them, they totally vanished
from the earth. Their power level got covered up and it seemed as if they were totally erased. Diamond had a hard time
controlling her thoughts as she flew through the air, gathered close to the body of the Phrawk. She felt it's feather
flicking in her face, but she couldn't open her eyes, the pain was too harsh. She could faintly feel one of it's claws
sinking deep into her lower back, but the pain seemed so far away as did her own thoughts. She could feel the Phwark touch
down onto the ground with a thud, and then her own body being thrown into something hard and stoney like. She saw nor heard
anything else.
*End Flashback, somewhat I guess you could say*
Trunks had vaguely seen the route that the Phwark had taken to it's nest, and quickly told Goku.
"Ok, if we're going to get to her before they turn her own thoughts into her death, then we'll have to move quick..." said Goku
quickly as he took to the air, Trunks following suit, and the both of them setting off in the sky.
Trunks set off with such an enormous power that it had amazed Goku. 'He seems kinda mad,' he thought to himself. 'There
seems to be a bond between the two of them, it's really odd, because they seem to have just met...' Goku trailed off in his
mind and forgot what they were flying for/towards until he touched down on the cliff of a mountain and saw about 10 Phwarks
walk out of a cave.
"Goku!!!" called Trunks. "Don't open your mind to them... They'll use it against you!" he yelled to him as he took off, fists
flying at the nearest Phwark. Flaring up his Ki as he went, a golden light encircled him and he took out one Phwark
after another, clearing his mind of all thoughts. Goku followed suit, his hair standing on end and turning a bright
shade of yellow. He leapt with a yell and pummeled the first Phwark he saw. Both of them fought through all of the Phwarks
ravenously until they were all dead. All dead besides the leader Phwark.
Walking slowly out of the cave, a 8'4" Phwark laughed menacingly at the two super saiyans.
"I suppose you've come to collect this..." he said slowly, holding a limp body out in front of him. He laughed menacingly
as he once again plunged his deep claws into her back, but yet she didn't respond to the pain. Her eyes barely open, and her
mind totally blank, she drifted into another darkness that came with a terrible price. She groaned as she felt the ground
rush up to meet her, and she lay there, unmoving.
"I guess if you'd like to take her, you can... But there's really no point, she's almost dead anyways... I could finish
her off for you if you'd like..." he said menacingly. He took a step forward, and put his foot against her face, but with
no pressure.
Goku and Trunks, watched for a moment, before realizing what he meant. They both flung off the handle and lunged at him,
fists tight and minds clear. One fist after another flew into the face of the Phwark, causing him to stumble back a few steps.
The Phwark caught a flailing mad Trunks in his clawed hand and growled. The Phwark was not quite prepared for the two strong
super saiyans to both fly at him at once, so he was more than just a little peeved off. Trunks spat in his face and felt
his feet land on the ground. Having enough with this weakling, Goku growled and broght his hands together at this side.
"Ka-meh-ha-meh-ha!!" he shouted as a white energy blast erupted from his hands and shot quickly at the Phwark. Taken completely
aback as the energy hit him, the Phwark screamed in pain as his body began to disinegrate. Cursing aloud and promising
to return, the Phwark died where it stood, screaming with rage.
Trunks brought his hand to his mouth and wiped a small stream of blood from the corner. He laughed a bit and turned to Goku
who had an enraged look on his face. He walked over and put his hand on his shoulder and nodded. "It's over Goku... you
killed him, he won't bug us anymore..." he said reassuringly. Both of the men nodded in agreeance and stood there for a
moment, before they both realized why they had actually come here.
"Oh shit Goku, this doesn't look good..." said Trunks as he lifted a limp Diamond into his arms, just barely looking her
over and noticing multiple scratch and claw marks. He sighed and took to the air, knowing that the only place they could
go from here was the hospital. Goku rose into the air and followed suit, not really thinking much, just following behind
blindly.
Trunks flew with an enormous speed and agility, and closed his eyes for the most part, growling at how this could have
happened. 'She just... walked out... with a simple goodbye and said 'I'll be back later...' And now this...' he thought
quietly to himself.
As the hospital came into view, Diamond's eyes rose open warily and she couldn't help but smile to find herself in the arms
of her 'saviour' once more. She groaned and looked up at him as he looked down. His eyes filled with laughter as he saw
her awake, nowing that she would most likely survive from the attack. She closed her eyes for a minute in pain and reopened
them, speaking in a painfully hoarse voice.
"Well... it looks like you've saved me once more..." she said quietly. He had indeed saved her life once again, bringing
her back from the cave of Phwarks and taking her now to the hospital, her father following suit.
"So I really have no choice but to pay you back..." she said after another moment.
"Pay me back? But... for what?" he asked stupidly.
"For saving my life dummy..." she said laughing and wheezing at the same time. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth
and she sighed. "I would have died if I had been left there any longer... I let them have control of my mind... I guess
I have a lot to learn..." she said, still staring harshly into his eyes.
"No... seriously it's quite alright, I don't mind saving your life, I feel like I must..." he said quietly. Honestly,
he said to himself, there's a connection between you and me, Diamond, and I'm determined to make it grow stronger. But little
did he know, that she would make the first step towards that.
"Fine, then let me repay you this way..." she said quietly as she brought her arms limply around his neck and caught his lips
in a full on kiss.
~*~*~*End Chatper 5*~*~*~
Blink: It's about time! Seriously, I mean... that wasn't so hard now was it?
Trunks: No... it wasn't!
Lmao, Thanks for reading
