Chapter 7
The Last Super Saiyan
I'm now eighteen. Three years passed since Gohan's death. I ascended to super Saiyan that night. I now wield a sword forged with steel from the Kais. His name was Tapion, and he gave me his sword. I've been hiding from the Androids during this time, training at the lookout in the hyperbolic time chamber. But even a years training won't help much against those monsters!
"See ya Mr. Popo!" I said, waving good-bye. I didn't wear the old shirt or pants when I was training with my master. I wore black jeans and black sleeveless shirt. On top of that was an open blue jacket with the Capsule Corp. Logo of the left sleeve. A blue bandolier was strapped across my chest, holding up my sword.
"Good bye, Trunks. And please be careful."
"Don't worry. I won't be coming back for a while. My mom's probably worried sick about me!" I said and flew off.
The lookout was high above the Earth, up in the stratosphere. I can't understand why Mr. Popo would live up here!
I was heading to West City, where the battle Gohan died. He shouldn't have given me that Senzu bean!
The city was undergoing great construction, and they've done pretty good progress. The Androids have gone off to the Northern Mountains ravaging the villages there. But the hero once thought to be dead has now returned.
I stopped in front of the company Capsule Corporation. The building was a large dome, and my house was behind the building. I slowly walked to the entrance, and the doors slid open.
"Trunks!" the desk manager yelled, "Where have you been during the past three years?"
"Training," I responded. The desk manager was teenaged girl. She was rather cute if you ask me, but saving the world comes first.
"Man you're buff! Wherever you were, you've done a LOT of training."
"Thanks," I said and went through the other sliding door. This was the large garden of my grandmother's. It was house of all sorts of exotic plants, dinosaurs and animals. I looked around, but didn't see her or grandpa. Then the intercom was on.
"Dr. Briefs, please report to the garage immediately! Your daughter, Bulma, has created something and needs you to come right away! That is all."
"Mom?" I said and ran back through the exit. I turned a sharp left, past the desk manager. I ran through the door and saw two scientists.
"Hello Trunks!"
"Hey!" I replied and ran through the door at the end of the hall. I made a right through the door and entered the garage.
It was filled with cars, planes and spaceships. At the far end of the garage were five scientists working on a large dome shaped vehicle.
"Dr. Briefs, would you-"
"I'm here, I'm here!" the old scientist yelled running in.
I ducked behind a car, not wanting him to notice me. I wanted to see my mother first, no one else.
"Bulma," he began, "What is you invention?"
"Hey Dad!" replied Bulma, "I've completed the time machine."
"Time machine?" I repeated, as well as gramps.
"Extraordinary! And what was it you were planning to do with it?"
"I thought of going back in time to warn Goku about the Androids."
"No way!" Dr. Briefs exclaimed, "That would alter history and the course of time! Many strange things can occur that would alter history!"
"But look at what's happened now!"
"Yes, and this is fate. I'm pleased to see that you're an excellent mechanic. Maybe do something different," he said and left.
"Huh," Bulma breathed, "Well boys, looks like we'll be taking it apart!"
"No way!"
"I'm not wasting my time. Took us three years to build!"
"Yeah, I'm leaving Bulma!"
The five men left as well, and Bulma threw herself onto a chair. Her eyes were closed; she was going to fall asleep.
I walked up slowly to the time machine and touched it.
"I think it's a great idea to back in time, Mom."
"Thanks for agreeing with me, Trunks. And-" her eyes opened and she looked at me. "Trunks! You.yo.you're alive?"
"Last Saiyan alive."
"But, that battle? And West City?"
"Gohan knocked me out and fought alone."
"But, why didn't you come back home?" she asked standing up and hugged me tightly.
"It's.it's alright, Mom. I'm alive, and I'll defeat the Androids."
She opened her eyes and saw my sword.
"What's this?"
"Oh, this is from Tapion."
"Who?"
"A Kai visited me on the lookout."
"So that's where you've been. Have you been training? You look a lot stronger."
"Yes, yes I am."
"So why didn't you return?"
"Well, Gohan couldn't defeat them, even though he was super Saiyan. I realized I couldn't defeat them unless I trained. So I trained a year in the hyperbolic time chamber. Now, I'm going off to fight the Androids."
"But you'll die! Stay here.go back in time and-"
I turned around and ran to exit. My mother held her hand out, trying to pull me back.
I exited the corporation and flew in the air. I looked around as the people were rebuilding the city. I smiled upon them, and then looked at my destination, Bridge Town. I could tell they were there, even if they didn't have energy levels.
Bridge Town was fifty miles from here. I flew faster, since I didn't know instant transmission. I gained more altitude and flew among the clouds.
In half an hour, I landed on the mountains before the city. As I presumed, they were there. Building fell, and explosions erupted. I flew down and ran through the city.
They didn't change during the three years.
"Hey Androids!" I yelled.
"What?" Seventeen asked looking at me, "Hey Eighteen, he's back."
"I see. I guess some people aren't willing to learn."
"You two have had your fun, now I'm going to send you to the junk yard."
"Oh really? Tell me, Trunks, how did you like the look on Gohan's face when you saw him?"
"Shut up. You two are monsters! Now it's time the prince returned to his thrown!" I yelled and spread my legs. I clenched my fists and cracked my neck. I smiled, and the rocks began to rise.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed and my jacket rippled fast.
"He's going back for his own trick," Eighteen said and shook her head.
"Wait, he did have three years to achieve this. Let him ascend, and then show him his failure."
Large stones flung into the air, and a small crater formed around me as my energy pushed down. I then closed my eyes. I opened them, and they were now green. My hair split in opposite directions, gold. I cracked my neck again and sent my aura pushing out. "This is for you, Gohan!" I yelled and dove at them. Seventeen moved his hand out for his sister to go. She jumped forward and pulled her arm back. She punched forward, but to her surprise, I blocked it. I elbowed her towards the ground and flew over her. I moved at the speed of light, where no one could see me. I then reappeared in front of Seventeen and punched him. The blow sent him clear across the city, smashing through five buildings. I turned around and blocked Eighteen's kick. I brought myself forward and kneed her in the stomach. She fell over, clutching herself "How.di.d.you get.so.strong?" she gasped. "I am a super Saiyan! Protector of the innocent, destroyer of you!" I yelled and kicked her in the side of the head sending her east of the city. "How dare you hit my sister!" Seventeen yelled and came up behind me. I reached for my sword and rammed the pummel into his gut, knocking the air out of him. He fell over, grabbing his stomach. "Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" Eighteen cried and punched forward. I blocked with my sword and drove the blade into the ground. He jumped into the air and kicked her in the side.
"Eighteen, he's stronger now!"
"Like I didn't notice!"
I ignored them and fired an energy beam at Seventeen. I dropped my guard and Eighteen kicked me in the back. I fell, but back kicked her into the air. I spun around and fired an energy beam at her. Seventeen came up above me and brought down his foot. I knocked me into the ground, but I sped away. "Kamehameha!" I yelled and fired the energy wave at him. He was driven backwards, and I flew towards him. I pulled my sword from the ground and flew upwards to Eighteen. She fired hundreds of energy beams, many ricocheting off my sword. As I flew higher, a sharp pain went up my back; Seventeen drop kicked me. "Trunks, there's too much anger and revenge in you, you've forgotten there are two of us!" Eighteen mocked. "This new level of power isn't going to get you anywhere!"
I squeezed my sword and stabbed backwards at Seventeen. He ducked and punched me in the face. I fell to the side, but spun around and slashed by sword, which scrapped along his metal body.
"Time to die!" I yelled and held out my hand. I fired an energy beam and knocked him to the ground.
"EYAH!" Eighteen cried and slammed me to the ground.
"Stop it Eighteen," Seventeen said.
"What?"
"There's no point in toying with him. I want to kill him now!" he yelled and held his arm in the air. A great energy ball formed above his palm.
"No! I enjoy hurting him like this. One more beam, then it's your turn," she responded.
"Okay, but hurry up! I can't hold this up forever!"
"Ka.may."
"No.uh.she can't," I mumbled. I was powered down, my energy was depleted.
"Ha.may.HA!" she yelled and fired the energy beam.
"NO!" I screamed and city exploded, taking me with it.
"And take this!" Seventeen yelled and threw his ball of energy. A second explosion occurred, and the city was now a mile lone crater, and I was no where to be found.
