Chapter 2: Planning and Destruction?

"Very soon master we will have your mate and bring the warrior to you." "Don't bother bringing the fighter to me. I wish to find him myself. After all, I will not enjoy myself if there is no hunt first." "I see then I shall work on finding her." "Now go!" "Yes, master," said the leader of the cult. Meanwhile, in the West City the phone was ringing at Capsule Corp. Bulma walks over and picks up the phone. "Hello?" "Hello, Mrs. Briefs, is Trunks home?" "Goten is that you?" "Ya, it's me" "Well, I will get Trunks for you." "Thank you." Bulma then covers the receiver and yells, "Hey, Trunks, Goten is on the phone." "Alright mom," called back Trunks as he ran into the room to pick up the phone. "Hey, Goten," said Trunks. "Hey, listen Trunks, I heard about this great legend from Gohan!" "Oh, what's it about?" "Well, it is about this beautiful goddess, so they say, and she was the princess of a kingdom that once existed on the moon. Not to mention that they also said she was the princess of another kingdom on another world." "Goten get on with the story." "Alright, shesh! Anyway, the princess was a protector of worlds they say and she incased herself within a coffin of crystal in order to rest until the universe needed her powers. Legend also has it that she had sixteen guardians' as well." "Whoa, wait a second, why would she need them if she is a goddess that powerful?" "They are there to give her strength in case the enemy is much stronger than her. I can only guess that what they would do is channel their chi into her so that she can use their energy and her might combined to destroy the threat or a threat to the universe." "Gee, Goten you sure did your homework. Thought you didn't like that stuff." "I don't, but this story really got to me." "Is that it Goten?" "One more thing, they also say that to this day she still sleeps within that crystal coffin on the moon. And if there be any threat to the moon it will be protected from destruction by the goddess's power so as not to disrupt the balance of the Earth or for the goddess to lose her home." "Yep, you really did your homework Goten. I didn't do a thing, it was Gohan who stumbled on to it." "Well, anyway, talk to you later Goten." "Later." Trunks hangs up the phone and goes back into his room and begins to ponder the possibility of the truth of the legend that Goten had just told him. Later that day, Trunks told his dad, who refused to believe that there was a possibility of the legend being true. As night began to fall on West City, Trunks made an unexpected visit to Goku's home. Trunks knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door opened and Chi Chi came into view. "Why, hello Trunks," said Chi Chi. "Hello Mrs. Son, may I speak with your husband?" "Why sure, we just settled down for dinner so why don't you come on in and help yourself as well." "Thank you," Trunks said as he blushed and walked inside. Trunks walked down the hallway into the kitchen. There, Goku was stuffing his face full of food. He looked at Trunks and swallowed his food. "Oh, hey Trunks, what brings you here," said Goku. "Goku, would you please travel with Goten and I to the moon," asked Trunks looking down blushing and feeling somewhat embarrassed about the question he had just asked. "Why sure Trunks, but if you don't mind me asking, what for?" "It's kind of hard to explain. I don't know where to start. Well, Goten told me this legend about a girl and." "OOOOH! I get it now, you want to find out if that legend is true." "Yes, how did you know?" "Goten was going on and on about it for a couple of days now. And if you ask me, if you really want to do something like this, I say go for it!" "Thanks Goku, but I wanted to ask if." "If I would come with you, I know." "Ya, you read my mind." "Alright, well, how about we do it sometime next week or so?" "Sure, sounds great, although I wanted to do this earlier than that." "I know but I have some things to do, but I absolutely want to come with you two." "Alright, well, thanks again Goku." "Your welcome Trunks," said Goku with a smile as Trunks walked away back out of the house. The week goes by just like all the normal weeks except for the fact that the unknown visitor was looking for Goku, while his minions were still looking for their master's perfect mate. It is now the weekend, Trunks, Goten, and Goku are packing their bags for the trip to the moon. "I can't wait until Monday, we are really going there to find out if the legend is true," said Trunks with excitement. "We sure are Trunks," said Goten. The two are watching the news as they pack their bags when suddenly the news reporter on the screen says in great urgency, "South City is under attack, I repeat South City is under attack! All residence of South City should leave immediately." "I wonder what's going on in South City," said Goten. "I don't know but we should keep listening," said Trunks. The newscaster listens to the message coming in on his earpiece and says to the cameras, "We have just gotten word that a terrible man has destroyed at least half of the city. No one is sure what this person looks like at this point in time considering no one who has gotten close enough has come back with footage or anything of the sort. WAIT ONE MOMENT FOLKS! We have just gotten word that the man wants his mate and he orders we give her up and give his opponent up as well. I don't know whom he wants in particular folks but if you think you know I think you should do something right away. I can only fathom that the opponent this man is looking for is our beloved MR. SATAN!" Trunks then looks to Goten with a grave and disgruntled look. "Goten we need to tell your dad, I'll call mine and let him know."
