Chapter 23:Trunks's Hunt
High above the streets of West Capital City,the lavender haired hero known as Trunks Briefs flew through the air.His hair blew in the wind,the two strands in front of his face occasionally whipping his eyes.
'A girl known as Ashley will see you,and call out to you.When you hear her,you'll recognize the voice,'Trunks recalled from his dream,"But I've been flying for two hours now....And no one's seen me."
Deciding to attract attention to himself,Trunks's mind grasped at a large ball of energy deep inside him.The energy exploded in a golden light as his hair stood in spikes of the same color.His now emerald green eyes scanned the streets below for anyone remotely familiar.
-----
"So now we're at a dead end...."Ray trailed off,staring out at the ocean waves.
A silver beast at his side,whom they had met in the place known as Terra Canyon,shook his head,"The sea is so fast that,when trying to cross with one's own energy,you become too weak."
"Stop trying to act so smart,Nono,"an orange beast scolded,"It just gets irritating."
"Hmph.Look who's talking,Vivi,"Nono shot back.
"Has the voice spoken to you,BROTHER?"Zapland asked,still getting used to calling Ray his brother.
"No,not since we left Spyroton.But it did say something about not giving up when we come to a road block,"Ray replied,seeming deep in thought.
"Hm....Don't tell me the Prince of Tororins plans on just flying over the ocean.You haven't practiced enough,you might run out of energy!"Alia exclaimed.
Ray smirked,"Does it look I care?"
He forced his energy down to his feet,lifting him into the air.With a deep breath,he sped across the ocean as fast as his energy would allow.Zapland shook his head and followed the younger teenager.Alia sighed,muttering about thick heads before following.Nono and Vivi looked around for a moment.Once they were sure no one was watching,they hovered into the air and went at a slower pace,they still hadn't completely mastered their energy.

A teenage girl walked down the sidewalk,humming peacefully to herself.Her long blonde hair blew in the soft wind and her blue eyes were fixed on the horizon.When a reflection in a nearby puddle caught her eye,she stopped humming and walking to look up into the sky.
There was a golden light in the air,speeding through the clouds.The girl gasped when she though of what it had to be.Her family was sick,still feeling the effects of the Android attacks.The doctors said that only the Briefs had a cure for the sickness they had,but it was impossible to contact the wealthy family due to the Androids.
"HEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!DOWN HERE!!"she called out.
Trunks's ears perked when he heard the yell.The voice did seem familiar....When he looked down,he could see someone in the middle of the street waving at him.The Saiyan stopped his flight and slowly descended to the ground.
"What is it?"he asked,noticing the panicked look on her face.
When he had seen her moments before she saw him,she seemed cheerful.But now,her expression had changed dramatically,something that he had learned was always a bad sign.
"I'm so glad I've finally met you!!My family's sick,and they need something only your family has!!Please,you have to help them!!!"she exclaimed.
"Calm down.Where are they?"Trunks questioned.
The girl grabbed his hand and ran back the way she had came.Trunks didn't resist,knowing that anyone that was sick so shortly after the Androids was in trouble.Most of the world's medical supplies had been destroyed after repeated attacks.That lead to people dying by the Androids indirectly.
"In here!"the girl exclaimed,pulling Trunks up the stairs of a house.
They walked through the door and Trunks's eyes widened.There were three people on the ground,hopefully asleep and not dead.He knelt next to the oldest one,a woman that had obviously lived many years.
"Do you have any idea what's wrong with them?"Trunks asked.
"When the Androids attacked once,my parents and grandmother were caught in the middle of it.They got away,but the doctors think they inhaled dust created by those weird lights the Androids used,"the girl replied.
"If it were normal energy,there'd be nothing to worry about....But the Androids' energy was unnatural,making the dust unnatural.All the people I've heard of inhaling the dust from an Android attack have died less than an hour later,"Trunks explained,"You should be thankful they've lived this long.I'll head back to the Capsule Corporation building and get the antidote."
"Please hurry,"she said,"I've noticed their condition getting worse."
"Don't worry.I'm very confident in my speed."
He walked to the door and stepped out.His golden aura exploded around him as he jumped into the air,traveling as fast as he could back to his home.
-----
Ray started to drop toward the water as his energy got weaker.It had been nearly an hour now,and there was still no sign of land.
'C'mon,Ray!Don't give up now!Think about who you're going to.You'll finally see her again!!'he thought.
He started to rise in altitude once more,suddenly filled with new energy.Behind him,the others were struggling to keep up.Especially Nono and Vivi.Their legs often went into the water,and their species hated to get wet.
After another half hour,they were finally on land.After a short rest,they continued east to a mountain range.Using all the energy they had left,they managed to fly over the shortest mountain and could finally see the large city known as Sygar.
"F-Finally,"Ray panted,"We've finally made it!"
"So....That is Sygar?It looks too big to me,"Nono said.
"Same here.I'm used to Terra Canyon,"Vivi added.
As fast as he could,Ray lead the others toward the large city.
-----
Trunks's flight stopped suddenly as he sensed something.The antidote for the dust in one hand,tight enough to hold on to it but not enough for it to break.Above the ruins of a city which hadn't been rebuilt,a dark storm cloud was forming.
"Only a storm of extreme violence has energy....And that's the place where I killed the Androids....Oh well,better get back,"he said to himself before speeding off once more.
