Eight Years later...

Bulma raced through the woods after her excited son.

"Trunks if you don't give back that transphaysic energy binder I'll...TRUNKS STOP!" Bulma did a running tackle and pinned the boy to the ground below her and grinned, "Can I have it back now?" She asked. She attacked his sides tickling him, soon the woods around them were filled with giggles and laughs. Trunks got back and soon the two were wrestling on the ground. The wrestling turned into a playful spar.

Time flew by with the two having fun. The days lasted three earth days and the nights lasted longer. So they had a lot of daylight left.

Glancing at her watch she frowned,

"Time for bed, the darkness will come up soon, and we don't want to get caught out side during the freeze." The planet was like Mercury. In the daytime it was bearable heat the first day, then they were driven inside the second, on the third day night came. They could go outside if they wanted too, but there was no way in hell they could go outside that last three days if they wanted to live. Even with their Ki raised as high as it could go, there was no way in hell they could go outside without freezing the first few minutes out there. Bulma already set up several force fields around the house to keep them warm, and the cold out. She frowned, the day was getting darker quicker then it normally did.

"Come on Trunks," She said, getting a sudden chill up her spine, it was getting colder quicker too, "We need to hurry son," she started to run faster and raised her Ki, she scooped Trunks up in her arms and started to run even faster, something was wrong. She stopped running and started flying faster then even Trunks knew she could fly. Suddenly a stray Ki beam struck her in the back and she went flying.

Several things happened all at once and she could do nothing. Trunks jumped up and tried to defend the person attack his stunned mother but he was quickly knocked out, but not before he got a glimpse of black flamed hair. Bulma surged too her feet but another Ki bomb, an extremely large and powerful one knocked her out cold and blew her and Trunks' home to smithereens, noting was salvageable...

Trunks woke up in a strange, cold, dark room. He couldn't see anything, even his saiya-jin sight couldn't pin-point anything in the darkness. Suddenly the room was lit up and he tried to hold up his arm to ward off the bright lights. He blinked several times and heard a dark voice chuckle,

"It's the beginning of the end for you child, you belong to me now," A strange voice said, he couldn't tell if it was male or female. Finally able too see somewhat, he glanced at the two blurry people before him. One was barely visible because of its light complexion, but he was sure the other person was green.

"Leave Trunks alone!" A voice said; it was his mother! Trunks scrambled to his feet and ran toward his mother. He didn't get two feet away before the green blur picked him up. He blinked and finally his vision cleared enough to see his mother fighting the pale one. He turned SSJ and knocked the green man back with his power.

"LEAVE MY MOM ALONE!" Trunks roared, charging the pale one with black lipstick.

"Aww...the little one wants to play..." he didn't get a chance to say anything else because Trunks had powered up a large Ki beam and it hit Freiza full on, for that's who it was.

"I. Said. Leave. My. Mother. Alone." Trunks charged Freiza again, but it was harder seeing as Freiza changed to his second form and picked up Bulma by the neck with his tail and began punching her form,

"Try another attack and I'll kill her..." Freiza said calmly, but anyone could tell he was in a lot of pain. He stopped hitting Bulma and she just struggled for air now.

"Trunks...attack...tail...HURRY!" Bulma managed to get out before Freiza started attacking her again. Her arms went limp as she gasped for air. Suddenly she was flung across the room as Trunks' attack severed part of Freiza's tail. She hit the far wall and crumpled to the ground, Trunks quickly ran toward her and helped her into a standing position. The tail around her neck dropped lifelessly to the ground as Freiza went to his second form. Zarbon attacked Trunks and Bulma was left to face Freiza. She fought as hard and as long as she could before she was beaten so bad she couldn't move.

She stared blearily at the ceiling as she couldn't do anything else, and frowned, Trunks, was he okay, you have to protect Trunks, he'll be so scared, gotta get up, gotta get to Trunks... she thought to herself. She struggled to get up, but a white foot crashed into her stomach and started stomping her. She couldn't breath through all the pain. Suddenly Freiza was distracted by something else. He left her alone as she managed to roll onto her stomach and army crawl toward Trunks. He was down for the count, just like she was. Zarbon suddenly disappeared with a large Ki blast just as she reached Trunks' side. She protected his limp form with her body as part of the attack hit her. She collapsed onto the floor, but she was still awake. She managed to get air into her burning lungs at the same time move Trunks and herself away from the fight. A dark clothed man and Freiza were at it. She couldn't see what was going on because her injuries were hurting so badly.

Trunks opened his eyes and stared at his mother confused for a few moments before he remembered why he hurt so badly.

"Mommy!" he whispered, shaking her limp and glassy eyed form.

"Trunks? Get to safety, hurry, while he's distracted, hurry now, run," Bulma whispered so softly Trunks had to strain to hear her correctly.

"No. I won't leave you behind." Trunks grabbed his mother and hauled her to her feet. They slowly made their way toward the doorway but a Ki bomb exploded somewhere and they were thrown off their feet. Bulma again protected Trunks by using her body as a shield against the worst of the attacks. She glanced around her, confused, her head hurt so bad she couldn't keep her eyes open. She closed them and she heard Trunks try and call out to her.

All she heard was a jumble of what was going on. She heard another Ki bomb explode somewhere. She felt around with her Ki and found one of the fighters were too weak to do anything, then suddenly it was gone.

She forced her eyes open but she couldn't make out any of the people now surrounding her. They were all large blurs, she could tell Trunks was trying to hold them off until she was able to get better, but one of the men, he was shorter then the rest, managed to contain him. She could tell Trunks from the rest of them by his purple hair. She frowned as her vision cleared a bit and what she saw made her gasp,

"`Geta? That you?"
