Chapter 5
One More Attempt

I was sensing for Gohan's energy. It took a while, but then I felt an increase of energy towards Gingertown. I flew towards the town. It was five miles northwest of West City. I saw a blazing aura and knew it was Gohan. I flew closer and saw an energy beam coming to me. I caught it and threw it back.
"He's arrived," Seventeen said, "Eighteen, show the boy pain."
Gohan looked at her and moved at supersonic speed to her. He spread his arms out and blocked her.
"You're fight is with me!"
"Move aside or I'll blast through you!"
"You're welcome to try!"
Eighteen punch forward. Gohan blocked and kneed her in the stomach. He then elbowed her in the back of the head. He held her up and fired an energy beam at Seventeen.
I sped up and appeared next to Gohan.
"Trunks, you shouldn't be here!"
"Why?"
"This is a deadly battle. I led them here, in an attempt to create a spirit bomb and destroy them. If you're too close, you'll die in the blast!"
"But-"
"Alright. She's knocked out, so you can kill her!"
Gohan flew away to Seventeen and kicked him in the face.
I looked back at her, and began an energy beam.
"He was the prince, wasn't he?"
"What?"
"Your father, the Prince of Saiyans."
"So what? Now die, Android!" he yelled and swung his arms in front of him. He then held his hands out touched both thumbs and index fingers. A blast of gold energy engulfed Eighteen, and I backed down, breathing deeply.
"Is that all you got?"
"What? No way!"
"Way. What was that?" Eighteen asked floating in front of him.
"Uh, that was my most powerful attack! The burning attack didn't work this time!" I said to myself. I gritted my teeth and held my fists up on guard.
"Going to try and transform?"
"Afraid I'll be able to?"
"No, because you can't."
"We'll just see!" I yelled and flew up to her and punch at her face. She moved to the side and dodged the other punch. She was smirking the whole time, with arms crossed.
"So this is the strength of the new Prince of Saiyans. You're pathetic."
"Shut up!" I yelled and kicked. She blocked it and raised her leg and kicked me in the rib cage.
"I can hear the ribs cracking. Go get those beans. I can wait."
"Err, no!" I yelled and punched her across the face. I continued the assault and drop kicked her in the chest. I looked back at Gohan and began to fly to him. Then, Eighteen grabbed me from the collar.
"Going somewhere? We have a "date," so show your date a good time!" and she kneed me in the back.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" I yelled and threw my elbow behind me. She ducked, but as she lifted her head, I wrapped my arm around her head. I threw myself and her down and we broke through a building. We continued to fall, and she disappeared from my grip. My eyes widened and I plummeted onto the pavement.
"You're too slow," she mocked, "You're nothing anymore! Now, you'll die!"
"No!" I yelled and fired energy beams at her.
She blocked them and smiled. She held her hand above her head and a large energy beam formed above her.
"Heyah!" Gohan cried and kicked her in the side. He punched her to the ground and caught the energy beam in the air and tossed it at Seventeen.
"Kame.hame.ha!" he yelled and fired the energy wave at Eighteen. The beam crashed through her and exploded onto the Earth.
"Trunks, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!
"I think we'll win this battle," I said.
"Don't be so sure. Look at them, they're barely hurt."

"But I'm still standing."
"You're right."
Seventeen flew at us and punched forward. He swung his arm back and knocked me to the ground. Gohan caught me and fired an energy beam at him. Eighteen came from behind then kneed him in the back. He dropped me, but I held myself in the air. I flew up and threw a kick, but it was caught. Eighteen threw my aside and I fell into Seventeen's grip.
"The half-Saiyan isn't that strong, and I thought they all were since Gohan is a challenge."
He then threw me harshly to the ground and I fell unconscious.
Gohan looked at me, but turned back. He fly high into the air and raised his arms. Energy swirled in the palm of his hand and a blue energy ball, the size of a ten pound bowling ball formed. It grew dramatically, to the size of a soccer field.
"This is for you father!" he yelled and sent the spirit bomb in their direction.
"He'll destroy us!" Eighteen yelled.
"Not if I can't help it!" Seventeen cried and fired an energy beam to ignite the spirit bomb. Fortunately, the beam was absorbed.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Seventeen cried.
"Wait, I have an idea!" Eighteen cried. Seventeen knew what she was thinking and they smiled evilly. They moved at the speed of light and appeared several meters from Gohan.
"God bye, Saiyan," they said and raised their arms.
