A/N: Hey people! I'm back and I have no excuses as to why this chapter is so late. I guess it was just a lack of inspiration. Ok so that was an excuse, but oh well. at least I'm back! I am extremely sorry for the really, really late update! ************************************************************************

There's Nothing I Can't Face- Chapter 7

"What are you talking about?" asked Trunks.

He received no reply because Vegeta had flown up ahead in the direction of the mysterious palace. Trunks sighed and flew after him, Ryoko still lying limply within his arms. As Trunks flew he looked at the ground beneath him, so he didn't notice the person meditating in mid-air before him. He crashed into the person and made them lurch forward a few feet. The person turned around quickly and was about to blast whoever bumped into them, into the next dimension. Trunks stared wide-eyed at the woman before him and began to apologize but was stopped abruptly as the woman spit vulgarities and insults at him, not to mention she was powering up a large ki ball in her right hand.

"Who are you and what are you doing on my planet?"

She viciously asked, raising the ki ball over her head. Before Trunks had a chance to answer Ryoko shot up within his arms, her eyes wide in fear. At the sudden movement, the strange woman threw her ki blast at Ryoko, but Ryoko had her shield up when she awoke. The blast spiraled towards the mysterious woman but she ducked just in time. Vegeta appeared at Trunks' side, his arms crossed across his chest. The woman lifted her head and her eyes widened in surprise.

"B.B.Brother!?!" she whispered in awe.

"Brother? What do you mean brother?" Vegeta asked in surprise.

" You mean you didn't know?."

"Know what?"

" That your people have survived!"

"WHAT!? The Sayia-jins are alive? How can this be? The planet was destroyed!"

"That is true, but you have forgotten about the children who were sent on purging missions. We had re-grouped after learning of the attack and conquered a planet, which we had settled on. A few years after that we were attacked by a powerful demon, he had destroyed the planet but everyone was able to escape. A few months later we had found another planet. It was very advanced in many fields. We conquered this planet and remained here ever since. Having royal blood, I took command and had ruled over this kingdom. But that is beyond the point brother, you and your guests look weary. Follow me, I will have a servant escort you to your rooms."

Ryoko rose from Trunks' arms and placed herself next to him. " What's your name?"

"It's Demya." She replied without even turning back.

"I'm Ryoko, the space pirate, and this is Trunks, Vegeta's son."

Demya turned around, shock evident on her face. " You have a son?!" She questioned Vegeta.

" He was a mistake, a half breed." Vegeta replied, quite nastily.

Ryoko gave him a sharp look and then glanced at Trunks. His face was blank, devoid of any emotion. Didn't he even care that his father called him a mistake.

"How strong are you boy?" Demya directed the question towards Trunks, " Power up, I will check your power level."

Demya removed a scouter from her pocket and put it over her eye. " Go ahead boy, I'm ready."

Trunks began powering up. As soon as he reached Super Saiya-jin 1 the scouter broke. But he wasn't done yet. He rose two more levels, his energy surrounding him.

Demya stared at him, mouth wide open. " A.a. Super Saiya-jin!"

"A Super Saiya-jin 3." Said Trunks, matter-of-factly.

" Unbelivable." Demya whispered.

Well, I'm happy to say I found a song that has been inspiring me a lot lately. (It's called 'White Flag' by Dido) Sorry for the short chapter but I will try to update sooner! DON"T HATE ME! Anyway, R/R PLEASE!
