Chapter 13
Trunks POV
Clash
What's going on?! Why are they attacking me! Those Ultra Cells, no wonder it had been so easy. Gero!
"Trunks, what's happening to them?" Angel was petrified.
"Angel take that other Ultra Cell tube and leave now!!" I yelled knowing what was to come. She obeyed and left without question... thankfully.
I turned my attention back to 17 and 18 just in time to dodge an oncoming energy wave.
"17, 18 stop this! You have to fight this, please! I don't want to fight you!" I yelled to the two as both of them laughed.
"Fool... if you don't want to fight us you don't have to." 18 smirked. I sighed in relief but 17 interrupted.
"But we'll kill you if you don't!" He came at me faster than ever before and began to attack. I blocked many of his attacks but soon 18 joined in and then I began to lose. After a powerful elbow to my neck I was sent into the lake.
I opened my eyes and saw their silhouettes above the water. I blasted out quickly and rammed 17 higher into the sky as 18 began to attack me again. Her punches were a lot more powerful tahn ever before. The Ultra Cells truly did power an individual up immensely, 18 was probably just as strong as me. I knew that she and 17 would kill me and then go after the remaining humans so I had to stop them. I couldn't let Gero use them like puppets anymore. I would save 17 and 18 from this nightmare. They didn't deserved such a horrible existence...no one did.
"18 stop. Its me, Trunks, don't you remember!?" I yelled at her as she threw several more punches.
"18 please, you have to stop, you don't have to do this! Don't let him ruin your life again! Not when you've had a chance to start over!" I yelled to her but she continued fighting. 18's fists moved so rapidly that I couldn't block them anymore as a regular Saiyan, but I knew that I couldn't power up, because they would see that as an act of violence against them. Instead I just let 18 attack me. Her punches and kick hurt so much that I thought she was piercing my body with every blow. She blasted a huge beam in front of my face that sent me crashing into the ground destroying even more of the decaying city.
I struggled out of the debris and stood up only to be kicked backwards by 17. I slammed into several more buildings and finally stopped after colliding with the street. My body was in amazing amounts of pain, everything ached. I stod up again as both 17 and 18 landed before me with grins on their faces.
"So 17 what should we do with him?" 18 asked as she sat down on a huge concrete slab. 17 looked up at the sky and rubbed his chin.
"Maybe we should beat his face in until no one can recognize him?" 17 suggested and 18 looked at me and shook her head.
"Naw, that's just doesn't seem like a fitting death for him. I was thinking more along the lines of obliterating his enitre body. How's that sound?" 18 asked and 17 thought it over and shook his head.
"I want to look at the damage after he's dead.... besides annihilating him is too fast a death, come on sis, why make his suffering less?" 17 asked. I knew that the only way to stop them was to fight but what if they were just as strong as I? If its a draw I doubt they will listen to me beg for them to stop fighting, they'll just fight harder! In the end.... I have no choice... if they continue on, many more will die... I can't risk millions of lives for the sake of two....
I stood up and looked at both of them. 17 and 18 stopped fighting momentarily to look at me and grin.
"I guess he's going to make the decision for us." 17 smirked. I shook my head. If there was any other way please let me find it.
"I'll handle this one 17." 18 said as she came at me. I had to stop them, but after what 18 said to me earlier.... she had never wanted this, she was just like everyone else! She had a family! How can I kill them knowing that this wasn't ever their fault!?
18 broke me away from my thoughts with a powerful knee to my stomach. She backhanded me into another building and then began to fire energy wave after energy wave at me. Once again, I emerged from the debris and stood up. I had to reach her, if I couldn't save them both I had to at least save her.
"18, stop..." I started but 18 suprised me from behind and kicked me foward. Before I hit anything 18 was in front of me and slammed her fist into my face causing me to jerk backwards quickly. I stopped myself and blasted upward, into the sky and 18 followed.
"I see you think you can run away?" 18 called as I looked down at her and then stopped. She flew up to my level a few yards away and smirked.
"You stopped, finally accepting defeat?" She asked with a grin. I sighed and looked into her eyes. Even when I fought them in my time, whenever 18 was away from 17, she was somewhat more talkative. At least now I could talk to her and hopefully reach her.
"18, don't let Gero use you like this! You don't have to do this." 18 looked at me and laughed.
"You sure do enjoy talking, Trunks. But I'm gonna kill you not for Gero, but because I want to." 18 licked her lips and raised her hand to form an energy beam.
"18, that's not what you want its what he wants! He's tricking you just as he just did me! He stole from you your friends and family!" 18 stopped the energy wave and attacked me.
"Shut up!" 18 yelled as her fist connected with my stomach and then she swatted me downward. I stopped quickly and blasted back up to her and she again attacked me but this time knocked me backwards. She stopped and smirked at me.
"You want to keep this up or will you fight back?" She asked. I looked at her and shook my head. 18 blasted towards me and cocked back her fist.
"I guess you'll just die then!" She yelled as she came closer.
"18, you're not his puppet. You could have been with your family instead of having to fight and kill!" I yelled as 18 slammed her fist into my face casuing me to rocket back to the ground.
I slammed into the ground and then saw 18 coming at me again and this time I dodged. She looked at me and fired an energy beam that was easy to deflect. I soon learned the energy wave was nothing but a diversion and soon found myself crashing threw more buildings before I finally stopped. I looked around and noticed that I was out of the city and away from where 17 was. I stood up again and thought. What would make her stop? 18 then appeared inches from my face smirking.
"Hi there." 18 smiled. I stood still and waited. I knew she had wanted to freak me out by being this close but I wasn't going to let her.
"Not scared anymore?" She asked as she placed her hand in front of me.
"18 why won't you stop?!" I yelled at her but she fired. The blast sent me hurling backwards. I stopped and looked around for her and then she appeared right next to me.
"I don't care about anything you're saying, I have my family with me, 17 or have you forgotten?" She asked as she kicked me to the ground. I jumped out of the way of her fist and landed behind her. She turned and came at me again.
"18 what about the ones who you loved and loved you?" 18 was about to hit me but suddenly stopped. I looked at her fist and saw it trembling.
"18, its alright... just relax..." I started but 18 yelled out.
"Trunks.... stop...this...." 18 grabbed her head in pain or confusion, I had no clue. She began to shake her head violently. I wanted to help her but I couldn't. 17 arrived and saw her and turned to me.
"You bastard!" 17 yelled but 18 began to yell louder than before.
"No...no...stop!!!!" Her voice had so many emotions, pain, anger, sadness, fear. She was fighting it. 17 tried to shake her but 18 continued on.
"18, I'll get him!" 17 yelled as he faced me. 18 grabbed 17's shoulder causing him to turn to her.
"What's wrong with you sis, what did he do!!" 17 yelled trying to reach her.
"Trunks.... please....help...!" 18 yelled as she fell to her knees and went silent. 17 helped her up and then turned back to me.
"What did you do to her!?" 17 roared and I shook my head.
"17, she's fighting Gero's programming. You have to as well." 17 looked at 18 who then stood on her own.
"I'm fighting nothing." She said emotionlessly. I gasped, it hadn't worked!
"You're going to get it now!" 17 growled as he and 18 prepared themselves.
"I will save you two! Even if I have to take those damn cells out of you, I will save you!" I yelled as I powered up to Super Saiyan level 2. I wanted to go higher but this was as far as I could push my power level to. I prayed that this would be enough to stop them.
"So you're gonna fight now are you?!" 17 asked as he and 18 attacked. I decided to attack first and this surprised 17 who was caught off-guard. My foot connected with his face sending him backwards as 18 attacked again. She had slowed down her attacks considerably. Though I as stronger and faster now, I knew that she had slowed down her attacks... but did she do this on purpose or unconsciously? Maybe I had reached her. I couldn't give up hope.
"18, stop I don't want to fight anymore, you don't have to either." 18 looked at me and stopped. She was trembling. Her eyes began to shake.
"Shut up! Stop it, stop talking to me!" She yelled. She swung but I caught her fist and then grabbed the other one.
"18... help me stop Gero... don't let that monster do this to you. You have a choice now. I know you can change." 18 looked at me and then fell to the ground unconscious. 17 then came at me but I dodged and tried to render him unconscious but he dodged and kicked me away.
"17!!" I yelled as I went at him again. I was fighting as hard as I could but I still couldn't over power him. 17 kneed me in my face and then punched me to the ground.
"I'll kill you now!!" 17 roared as I stood back up. He came at me with a flurry of kicks and punches that I couldn't block. I hit the ground and struggled to move. After all of the attacks I'd taken from 18 I was too spent to go on. 17 sent a huge beam at me that nearly killed me.
I pushed several rocks off of me and sat up slowly. 17 landed in front of me and picked me up out of the ruble.
"You should have thought twice about messing with my sister." 17 grinned as he threw me into the sky and fired a wall of energy attacks all hitting their mark.
After he had stopped, I landed on the ground with a thud. Pain ran through every vien, every nerve, and every muscle of my body. I forced myself to my feet, causing even more pain if that was even possible. 17 appeared in front of me with the same fierce scowl.
I knew I was losing. 17 was at full power, and I was barely able to stay Super Saiyan 2. I powered down to normal to save energy but it barely helped. I had failed, 17 was going to kill me and Gero would again ruin the lives of others. I looked at 18, who was still out, and sighed. She and 17 would again be nothing more than puppets used for destruction. They wouldn't get another chance to live at all, because of Gero! He stole their lives away in order to cause even more pain and suffering. He sent 17 and 18 to destroy the world. The entire time that 17 and 18 destroyed and killed ,we blamed them, when it was Gero who is to blame!! Now he's getting away with it again! Gero made the androids to get revenge on the world, he ruined the lives of billions for his own selfishness! I'd be damned if that was to happen again!
Suddenly, unexplained power coursed throughout my body. All of the pain, the hurt, the sorrow, and the sadness all of it was let out! I could feel my energy rising rapidly, and then in an explosion of light I had finished my transformation. I had reached such a level when I was insanely attacking 18, but now I had reached it once again to help save 17 and 18 from Gero! "What!?" 17 was stunned. He couldn't read energy levels but he knew that I had become much stronger. I looked to my side and saw how long my hair had gotten and realized that I had again ascended Super Saiyan. I had reached level 3! 17 stood frozen. Despite my transformation he attacked. I watched him as his movements that were at once too fast for me to keep up with, were now very slow. I drilled my fist into his stomach causing him to blackout.
Gero had planned this all along. He'd get his soon, but first I had to help 17 and 18. They've suffered long enough. Hopefully, if I can rid them of the programming inside of the Ultra Cells, Gero will have more than just me to worry about.
AN: If some of you didn't know already, 17 was injected with ultra cells in those days he was captured. That's why he was so much stronger than before.
Anyways keep the reviews coming and I'll keep the chapters coming too. I believe that in three or four more chapters this story will end, but who knows...
