Chapter 5: Evil Approaches
Trunks had been given the wonderful job of watching Pan and Bra. He tried to sleep, because the past two months he hadn't gotten more then four hours a night, but the constant shrieking of the two girls kept him up. Crono and Marle had gone back to Goku's house; where they had been living for the months they were here.
"Trunks!!" Bra shrieked, causing him to sit up on the couch quickly.
"What…?" He moaned.
"We want some food!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Fine…" He slowly stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "What do you want?" He crossed his arms.
"Lasagna!" He cheered happily.
"No…What else?" He asked again.
"LASAGNA!!! If you don't make it I'll get you in trouble…" She said placing her hands behind her back.
"I'll order a pizza," He said picking a phone up. Bra looked satisfied so she went back to play with Pan. He order about fifty pizzas and he called Goten after he did this.
"Hello," Goten said sitting up slightly on the couch.
"I got stuck baby-sitting the two spawns of Satan. Wanna come train or something?" Trunks said watching Bra chase the much faster Pan through the house.
"Uhh…" He looked down at Lucca, who was sitting in his lap with her head on his shoulder, "You wanna go over to Trunks house?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure," She said looking up at him.
"Yeah, we'll be over in a few minutes," He said hanging up the phone.
"We?" Trunk said to himself, "Who would have thought I could be so bored." He walked to the couch. He turned the TV on and started to flip through the channels.
"Nothings ever on Saturday nights…" He said throwing the remote across the room. He sighed. He decided to let some steam of in the gravity room, he had already gave the money to Bra. So he walked out into the cold night air. It was about 18 degrees. He quickly walked through the yard to the gravity room. He turned the machine on to five hundred times Earth's gravity. He pressed a few more buttons causing some training droids to come out of the wall. He press one more button which caused the control panel to go in the floor. He wasted no time attacking. Three droids rolled around the room, and he decided to work his way forward, so he attacked the one closest to him. He lunged at the one. He attempted to punch, but it had move to the side. He threw a kick at it, but it jumped out of the way. It shot a ki blast straight at his head. He flew against the wall.
"The hell. Did mom make them harder?" He said to himself, as he jump out of the way of another ki blast. He shot one of his own at the robot, but it simply moved to the side. He then became enraged like his father would if he couldn't hit it, and he went super sayia-jin, vaporizing them instantly.
"This isn't working," He said walking out of the room. He walked into the house and Bra and Pan were happily eating the pizza. He grabbed three boxes and headed to his room. He closed the door behind him. Placed the pizza on his night stand and laid down on his bed. He had never been this fixated over one girl. He couldn't stop thinking about Marle, but he knew he shouldn't.
"Trunks!!" Bra's voice came screaming over the intercom.
"What?" He said sitting up.
"Goten is here," She told him.
"Tell him to come up," He said turning it off, and grabbing a piece of pizza. He devoured the pizza in mere seconds. He could hear Goten talking to someone but who? He opened the door.+
"Hey Trunks," Goten said to Trunks as he waved down the hall. Lucca stood beside Goten with her arm around his waist. Trunks sighed.
'Man, I'm the only one with out a girlfriend,' He thought to himself, ignoring what Goten was saying.
"Trunks… Trunks!" He said snapping Trunks out of his daze.
"Yeah. Huh?" He muttered looking suddenly tried.
"You wanted to spar?" Goten asked him.
"I'm pretty tired all the sudden. I think I'm gonna go to bed," Trunks said walking back into his room. Goten looked at him funny.
"What's wrong with him?" Lucca whispered in Goten's ear. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Stay here," He said as he walked into Trunks's room. Trunks so face down on his bed, "What's wrong?" Goten said crouching down next to the bed.
"Nothing," He said into the pillow.
"I'm not stupid, I know something is wrong," Goten told his best friend.
"It's just that… You and Lucca, Crono and Marle. I'm the only one with out a girlfriend," He confessed to Goten.
"That's it?" He asked. Trunks looked at him, "You could get any girl, and your worried about not having a girlfriend." Goten smiled.
"I guess," Trunks said smiling back to his friend.
"What about that other girl who came with Crono? Ayla." Goten suggested to his friend. Trunks looked at Goten.
"Yeah. I'll get to know her," Trunks told him. Goten got up to get Lucca, "But I want Marle." Lucca and Goten walked in the room, and Goten grabbed a chair for her, while he sat on Trunks bed. The three of them talked and laughed until about two A.M; That's when Vegeta and Bulma came home.
***
That next morning Goku decided to let Crono sleep in since he used must of his power to go Super Sayia-jin. It was around eight a.m., and Marle was already up. She was talking to Lucca who was telling her about what her and Goten did last night.
"Way to go Lucca!" Marle said happily as her friend told her they had kissed.
Lucca blushed slightly, "Oh it was nothing." Marle looked at her funny, "Ok, I'll admit, I loved it!" She smiled as Marle giggled.
Goku sat in the kitchen eating a very large breakfast that Chi-Chi made just for him. He inhaled the first couple of servings, but then he got a uneasy feeling in his stomach. He put his fork down rather forcefully, and he stood up causing his chair to fall over.
"You OK?" Chi-Chi asked him as he supported himself on a wall. He shook his head.
"I don't…I don't know," He said grabbing his stomach. He felt a grave pain in his stomach and chest. He grasped his chest. He couldn't explain it, it almost felt as if he were being tore apart from the inside. It almost felt like, pure evil. Not Nappa or Taurles, it was on the planet. Actually it was inside the planet. Was this the creature Lavos, Crono had told them about? Then all the pain went away. It's as if the creature wanted him to know of it's presence's.

The streets of West City were not as full as they were on weekdays, but they were full of weekend shoppers. On the outside edge of the atmosphere, two space pods created a sonic boom as they ripped a hole in the protective shield of the Earth. The two pods were headed directly towards the city.
"Brace for impact!" Nappa shouted to Taurles. Taurles type on the control panel of the pod. A pink cushioning came out of the walls.
"What's that?" A man said covering his eyes from the sunlight as he looked in the sky. As he realized that they were headed towards him, it was too late. One of the pods had struck a near by building, causing it to fall over. Screams could be heard as the people in and out of the building were crushed. The second pod crashed in to a park. The children who had been playing there were incinerated instantly, along with everything caught in the explosion. Cries could be heard under the debris of the collapsed buildings. A news helicopter video taped the whole thing live.
"This is horrible!!" The anchorman shouted over the sounds of the many explosions. He stared out of the window, bodies rained from the sky as another building caught fire and began to collapse. As the camera man watched the horror from the lens, the broadcaster threw up out the side of the Helicopter. Vegeta, laid unconscious under thousands of pounds of debris. He had used his body to protect Bulma and Bra from the house that collapsed around them. Trunks was stuck in a air pocket created in the rumble.
"MOM!!!" He shouted as he shot a ki blast through the cement.
"Trunks!!" Bulma yelled back.
"Where are you?!?" He yelled throwing pieces of thousand pound rock like it was a mere stone.
"HERE!!!" She yelled sticking her hand out of the debris. Trunks flew over to the hand and he grasped it.
"Don't worry, I'll have you out in no time," He said to reassure his mother. As he threw them off, he could hear her begin to cry. She had been holding Bra's hand as she ran threw the house, but the hand she held now was lifeless. She squeezed it, but it didn't squeeze back. Trunks threw the last piece off her to reveal his unconscious father, covering her body. He picked up his father, placing him to the side. Bulma pointed to the hand and Trunks immediately threw all the rock off her.
"Is she…?" Bulma trailed off as Trunks frantically checked for a pulse. She had one.
"No…She's alive," Bulma let out a sigh of relief. Trunks felt the two Sayia-jins who just arrived. He kept his power down, not to be found, because that's the last thing he needed.
"We need to get to Goku's house," Trunks told his mother while she picked Bra's battered body up. Bulma agreed, and Trunks threw his father's body over his shoulder and picked his mother up by the waist, and flew towards Goku's. He kept low to the ground hoping they wouldn't find him, but they did.
"What's that?" Nappa said pointing to Trunks, who was a small dot fly over the ground.
"I don't know," Taurles said pressing the button on his scanner, "Power level of 10,000. Nothing to worry about." He said watching him fly off in the distance.
"I'll follow him. I think he could be hiding his true power. Maybe he knows Vegeta," Nappa said taking off after Trunks.
"Keep your Ki down!!" Taurles yelled at him, "Now to make sure our lord has a pleasant welcome." Taurles took off towards the area were Lavos's power was had the highest concentration.
