Life After Armageddon

Episode 4: Struggle for the Future! Trunks, the Super Daring Guy!

"The blood I can smell the blood!" screamed a distressed Spopovitch, who was no longer in complete control of his own body. Spopovitch was experiencing many new sensations such as super speed, super smell, super strength (busting through the Capsule Corp roofing) and flight, yet somehow he wasn't controlling any of this, his body was being pulled in a fashion not unlike that of a magnet towards a scent that was somewhat similar to that of his own blood. Spopovitch gathered that some magical property of the demon blood he had swallowed was changing him fundamentally, and that he was no longer a human being, but not a demon either, he had become something else. Spopovitch struggled to come to grips with this idea, as his body headed towards the scent, which he figured would ultimately end up being either Puertas or Trabajos.

Kaioshin and Kibit finally finished their descent into the ship of Madoshi Babidi; they found themselves in a rather drab room that was quite colorless and metallic in nature however, they were surrounded by two-dozen henchmen of the Madoshi. "I cannot believe he would send such shrimps to face us, it's as if he's spitting in our faces!" exclaimed Kibit as he, powered up to his maximum level, preparing to show his strength to the henchmen of the Madoshi. But before Kibit could launch his fearsome attack he was interrupted, as Babidi who was on the bottom level of the ship watching the events transpire through his crystal ball projected an image of himself in the area where the battle was about to take place. "Wretched Kaioshin, you killed my father and Majin Boo is now sealed off somewhere, you have caused me nothing but grief but now you will die! Then you and your guardian can watch from the heavens as I discover and release Majin Boo and along with him, destroy everything that the Dai-Kaioshin created."

"Why do you want to do such a thing Babidi? Do you want to live in a vacuum?" asked Kaioshin to which Babidi replied, "I don't, I have a different goal than my father Bibidi. After destroying all that Dai- Kaioshin created I plan on using my finely honed magic skills to recreate the universe as I see fit!" "I should have expected as much, you are even worse than your father was, I'm sad that I have no choice but to kill you," said Kaioshin coldly. Kaioshin and Kibit powered up and launched their assault on the minions of Babidi, dealing fatal blow after fatal blow to each of them, leaving none living. Kaioshin then destroyed the seal leading to the next floor of the ship and along with Kibit descended into it, one step closer to the Madoshi.

Back on Earth, Super Saiya-Jin Trunks stood on the edge of the Heavenly Plane as Puertas and Trabajos approached, eventually landing only about 6 yards away from him. "It's you again? Hmmph, guess we didn't get the job done earlier" said Puertas who continued, "Your ki isn't as large as it was before, not nearly as big. Trabajos, I can handle him alone, you do what has to be done so that Lord Dabura can enter this realm." Trabajos started to fly towards the Room of Spirit and Time, but before he could get to the entrance, Trunks bolted in front of him "You will not get past me, I'm not letting either of you let this scum, Dabura into the realm of Earth," said a determined Trunks. Trunks was determined but didn't think he had much of a chance of victory, when all of a sudden he felt an awesome ki approaching!

As Trunks felt the ki at first he wondered if it was a third demon approaching, but he could tell it wasn't, just from the looks on the faces of Puertas and Trabajos who apparently also felt it, Trunks tried to feel the ki again and it came back a lot like that of Trabajos when he was at full power and a lot like that of a very powerful human at the same time, "Who or what could it be?" Trunks wondered. All of a sudden Puertas lashed out at Trabajos "You fool! You were careless when you were fighting this boy earlier! Weren't you? You were bleeding everywhere and not caring enough to watch where! Now not only will we have to deal with this pest but if we don't take care of him fast were going to have to deal with both him and a half-demon at the same time!" "Why's that?" asked Trabajos, Puertas responded "A Half-Demon will fight to kill whatever full demon made it such a thing, it's cause their blood is calling out to them for vengeance! And to make matters worse, the half-demon becomes just as powerful as the demon whose blood it consumed, were in for a real struggle unless we kill this guy before he gets here!" And so the demons powered up, ready to kill Trunks.

In the bottom of his spaceship, Madoshi Babidi mentally contacted his servant Pui-Pui and spoke into his heart, "Pui-Pui, go to the second level of the ship, there you will find Kaioshin and his guardian Kibit, kill Kibit, but leave Kaioshin alive, I wish to kill him by my own hand." Pui- Pui, being completely under the power of the Madoshi simply nodded and said "understood master," before entering a nearby door and taking the elevator to floor 2, he then opened the magically sealed door from the inside and came face to face with Kaioshin and Kibit.

Meanwhile Puertas and Trabajos had begun their assault on Trunks, launching dual Kikoha blasts at him that were low powered enough that he had no problem deflecting them skyward. Suddenly, Trunks was at the stomach of Trabajos delivering a stunning punch to the midsection that he followed up by jamming an elbow into his face! That packed enough of a wallop to send Trabajos sliding on his back to the edge of the Heavenly Plane! Trunks flew above the downed body of the demon and began charging up a huge ki blast, to finish off the weaker of the two henchmen of Dabura but before he could fire it off Puertas propelled himself, head first into Trunks hip knocking him out of the sky and to the ground hard! Trunks already fighting off a limited ki lost a lot of energy from taking the blow. As Trunks got to his feet, Puertas caught him hard in the stomach with a kick that sent him flying into an outside wall of the Room of Spirit and Time! Puertas walked up to Trunks and pulled him up to his feet with one hand before delivering a hard punch to the stomach, he followed that up with another punch to the stomach but when he attempted a third, Trunks caught his fist and squeezed with all his strength! The pain brought Puertas to his knees, looking for the kill Trunks raised his free hand and prepared to finish off Puertas with a point blank ki blast to the head, but before he could get his shot off, the now recovered Trabajos caught him in a full nelson!

Trunks struggled mightily in an effort to break free from the grip of Trabajos, but he couldn't, and while Trabajos held him still, Puertas went to work and began pummeling Trunks! Taking blow after blow head on, Trunks began to fade in and out of consciousness. Things were looking bleak for Trunks when all of a sudden the huge power he had sensed earlier made a spectacular entrance, rocketing in at an amazing speed the man he had saved earlier came crashing through the stomach of Trabajos leaving a gaping hole! While Trunks and Puertas looked on stunned, the large half-demon knocked down Trabajos with one punch before ending the brutal surprise attack by smashing the head of the demon under his foot!

"You demon scum! You and your friend stripped me of my humanity! I'm going to kill you just like I killed him!" an enraged Spopovitch exclaimed to Puertas. Meanwhile an injured Trunks looked at the bloody, mutilated corpse of Trabajos and thought to himself "That's the guy I saved earlier, I cant believe he's the one who got turned into a half-demon, I'm just glad he's on my side. I hope."
