Chapter2: allies or enemies?

Trunks looked at his watch. On it he could see what area he was entering. Mom said that they should be landing just up ahead. He looked up & stopped. He could see the ship breaking through the clouds. He watched as it fell towards the ground & landed behind a ridge. Trunks masked his energy signal as he came in for a landing & ran up to the ridge. He dropped down onto his belly when he got there & watched. The area he was in was a lot like the place where Freiza had landed, rocky & deserted. He stared down at the ship as a door opened half way up it. A woman stepped out & looked around. She looked familiar to Trunks. She had long, straight brown hair that went down her back & covered half her face. She was wearing a thick, dark brown cloak that wrapped around her body, completely covering it. She brought her arm out from under her cloak & moved her hair behind her ear, showing her brilliant blue eyes. Trunks couldn't believe it. He knew that woman. She had thought against cell during the cell games. He could remember it perfectly.

Cell had just defeated earth's 'champion' Hercule.

"Oh, wow! The terrifying monster Cell has just knocked Hercule out of the ring! Is the Earth doomed or will one of these challengers be able to defeat him? This is just terrible &…" a young woman of 21 interrupted him.

"Oh please! Stop being so dramatic! So far Cell has just thought the losers the Cell games are only just beginning." She was wearing red baggy pants & a white crop top. Her light brown hair was down her back & she was wearing a black headband to keep her hair out of her eyes. Cell turned to look at her & sniggered.

"Well then, my dear, if you're so sure of that then why don't you face me?"

"Well that is the reason why I came out here."

"Hmm, tell me, what is your name?"

"I doubt that you will need to know that since I'm about to leave you flat on your back right there," she pointed to a patch of grass to the side of the ring "but if you must know, it's Sam Mitsu"

"Fine then, lets go!" it was obvious that this girl was getting on Cells nerves, but what happened next surprised everyone. Sam smirked to herself as she entered the ring & stood in her stance opposite Cell. She waited for his move but he didn't move a muscle.

"It's your move." He said. Sam nodded & ran towards cell, unmasking her energy as she went. As she got closer, Cells eyes widened. She had deliberately kept her power low to trick Cell & he was realising his mistake. Once she reached him, Sam kicked Cell hard in the gut, making him fly up into the air where she gave him a round house to the head & knocked him to the other side of the ring where she used her arms as a bat & hit him into the pot she had indicated earlier. All of the Z Shensi gaped at Cell in confusion.

"What just happened, you guys?" Krillen asked. It was Yamcha that answered him.

"I know, she caught Cell of guard! If she hadn't been masking her energy & pretended to be a normal earthling then it would be her down there right now, not Cell!" everyone thought about this theory & ended up agreeing with it.

Trunks continued to stare at the woman who not so long ago to him had been only a few years older was now middle aged. This is the same person. I can still remember that look she gave me the last time we were faced to face. After that battle she had flown off to a cliff & Cell just acted as if nothing had happened & demanded his next opponent. Later on, when the Cell Juniors attacked she helped us out & protected Goku. & when it was all over she came to the look out with us. She approached me & asked a few questions. She was very difficult to read. He watched as she floated down to the ground & looked around. A golden haired man joined her wearing the same cloak. He had long hair & golden eyes. He approached Sam & rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you feeling ok?"

"Yes, of course I am. It just feels strange to be back." Trunks watched the two carefully. They cared for each other, that much he could tell, but they were masking their power levels.

"We better check these mountains for unwanted guests."

"If you insist, send Talius." The man nodded & looked at the ship. A creature stood in the doorway & jumped down to join the other two.

"You called?" he was green, with a serpent like face. As Trunks stared at him he noticed that the new comer flicked a lizard like tongue out of his mouth every so often. He also had a tail. He had black hair & was wearing the same kind of cloak as the others that his tail was poking out of.

"Yes, go check the surrounding mountains, would you? We don't want any one spying on us." The lizard man bowed then turned & jumped off in to the mountains. Trunks didn't worry about the lizard; he carried on watching the woman. She turned her head to look at a heavily shadowed area.

"Grund, what are you doing out here? You are supposed to be watching my daughter." Daughter? Did she just say that? Trunks couldn't believe it, Sam had a daughter? She had never seemed like the type to settle down. He watched the area she was watching as a large man stepped out of it. He was wearing a hooded cloak that made it impossible to see his face. He bowed at Sam & grunted.

"She's gone? You were supposed to be watching her!" the big guy grunted again & Sam shook her head.

"Zara! Come here!"

"Cool it. I'm right here." Trunks looked up. There on the ship was a girl only a year younger then himself. Her long brown hair was up in a high ponytail that was over her shoulder & went down her chest. She had her eyes closed & her arms were folded behind her head. She was lying on the ship smirking to herself.

"Zara, how many times do I have to tell you? You…"

"…are not to leave the ship no matter what. I know, I get it. It's just boring in there. & I wanted to see what this planet looked like. Especially if I'm from it."

"I don't care, I told you to stay in your room but you disobeyed me. Get back to the ship before you get me really angry."

"Whatever. I thought that I was allowed to at least see this place." She jumped down from the ship & stared at her mother with her golden eyes.

"I guess I don't have any freedom."

"You do have freedom, we just don't want you getting into trouble."

"Ha! That's a lie! You don't care if I'm badly hurt but for some reason you care if I step of the ship for a little while. Why is that?"

"Never you mind, now go to your room." The girl turned around & rolled her eyes before going back to the ship. Trunks watched her go then shook his head. She looked good. They're just a family visiting the planet. They can't be that bad…he thought as he turned round. Once he did he found himself faced to face with the lizard man from before.

"Well what do we have hear? A ssspy."
