"Well what do we have hear? A ssspy?" Trunks stared into the face of the lizard man. The lizard stared back at him, his eyes like red slits.
"I…I was just leaving…" Trunks said as he slowly moved away. Hardly moving, the lizard flung its tail at Trunks & wrapped it round his neck.
"Don't go. My massstersss will be interesssted in meeting you." The creature hissed. Trunks glared at the creature as he struggled to get free, but as he did so the lizard tightened his grip. Soon the others had joined the lizard.
"What's going on?" Sam asked. The blonde man looked at Trunks & sneered.
"This puny earthling doesn't seem like a threat. He's weak." Sam looked over at him.
"Tank, be patient. I would like to at least know what he was doing watching us." Tank looked at Sam.
"I will, I just don't like him hanging around here. You know what Zara might do if she meets him." Sam rolled her eyes.
"She won't do anything. Talius, loosen up a bit, your cutting off his air." The lizard loosened his grip on Trunks, who gasped for air. Nice to know she hasn't changed much…Trunks thought. Sam looked at him with a surprised look on her face.
"What do you mean? I don't remember ever meeting you."
"I forgot that you could read minds. I guess that you wouldn't remember me. It was another time line."
"What? What is that supposed to mean?" Trunks quickly explained about the time machine. He had to explain quickly because every so often Talius would squeeze Trunk's neck making it feel like his head was going to come off. By the end of it Sam was even more confused.
"That is impossible. I haven't been on Earth for over 20 years. There's no way that I could have been there when you & your friends were fighting this Cell."
"What? But you were. I don't understand what could have happened," He thought of it, thinking of all of the events while Talius's grip slowly tightened.
"You said you were last on this planet 20 years ago, what were you doing?"
"That is none of your business. I was on a mission to get some deadbeat to pay some cash that he owed us."
"He wouldn't have been Freiza or King Cold would he?" Sam stared at him.
"Yes, King Cold had used to much money to bring his son Freiza back to full health. That money belonged to our old boss & I was sent to get them to pay up."
"So you were there when they came to Earth & I destroyed them…"
"What are you talking about? I was the one to kill those two."
"Not in the other time line I created. I must have got there just before you & destroyed them."
"I was there when they landed, I doubt that happened."
"It did. I think I remember catching a glimpse of someone on one of the ridges when I was fighting Freiza. I was also thinking a lot about the androids & what I was going to tell Goku, maybe you heard those thoughts & decided to come back to check it out…"
"Enough! I've listened to your pointless theories for long enough. Talius, you can get rid of him now."
"Why get rid of him? He doesn't look that bad." Sam & the others all looked round to see Zara perched on a rock looking at them all with her head tilted to the side.
"We have to, he's seen to much. & I thought I told you to go to your room." Trunks looked round & smirked to himself before going super sayajin. He caught Talius completely off guard & managed to get loose. He kicked the lizard hard in the gut before dropping down & flying away. Sam wasn't that bothered about his escape & turned back to scolding her daughter. She looked round in shook as she realised her daughter had disappeared.
When he was sure that he was further enough away from them, he went back to normal.
"Hopefully they won't follow me."
"You don't have to worry, they won't care that much." Trunks turned round in surprise to see Zara floating there staring at him with those big, golden eyes of hers.
"H…how did you get here? Why are you here?"
"I'm here 'cause I felt like it. & I flew here, duh." Trunks stared at her. She was very different from the girls he was used to.
"You kept up with me?"
"Yeah, that thing where you glow gold & change your hair colour boosts your power a lot but not that much. You really annoyed Talius. I guess that's one of the reasons why I like you." Trunks blinked. He couldn't believe this girl. She just appeared out of fine air & now was acting like they were friends or something. Least she looks good…he thought. Zara smiled at him.
"What was that thing that you did back there anyway?"
"That was me going super sayajin." He said as if it was a big deal. Zara stared at him.
"That's interesting. I thought the sayajins were extinct."
"I'm kinda the last one. My dad was the prince & he died a few years ago…" Zara kept smiling at him & tilted her head to the side. Why'd I tell her that about my dad? She probably didn't want to know that…Zara continued to stare at him.
"So your dad was Vegeta?"
"Err, yeah. Did you know him?"
"No, all the Princes are usually called Vegeta. What's your name?"
"It's Trunks."
"Well I'm Zara. I'm Kalroo." Trunks blinked.
"It's another species. Kinda like the sayajins only different."
"Err, right. I knew that. So um, what are you going to be doing?" Zara folded her arms & looked back at where she came from.
"My parents are probably going to keep me locked up in that stupid ship. I've probably only got a few more minutes before they find me…" she sighed. Trunks looked at her.
"You don't get out of there much, do you?"
"No. I sneak out sometimes but you can only use a way once before they start getting suspicious."
"Well, if you only have a while before you're stuck in there again then maybe you & I could hang out. Show you around."
"We could do that but you won't be able to be seen by Dad." She said as she flew round him, keeping eye contact the whole time.
"Why's that?"
"Because he'll blow your head off if he catches you." She flew off in the opposite direction of the ship. Trunks sighed. Why am I doing this? He thought as he followed her.
