Chapter5: the fight.

Trunks & Zara stood in the newly formed desert facing an angry Tank.

"Zara, put down that shield & get over here before I really get mad." Zara did nothing but shake. She kept her head down & her eyes covered by her hair.

"Hey! She doesn't want to talk to you! Besides, I have a score to settle! You destroyed my home. My mother was here! I can not let you get away with this!" Trunks yelled as his eyes turned green. He kept glaring at Tank as his hair stood on end & turned gold. A golden aura burst outwards & pulsed electricity as he went ssj2.

"You are going to pay." Tank stared at him then laughed.

"I'd like to see you try. If you really have a death wish then bring it. I need a laugh." Trunks growled as the golden aura surrounding him got bigger. His eyes narrowed as he got into a stance then lunged himself forward & towards Tank. He thrust his fist forward & started to attack Tank. Tank blocked Trunks' punches & started to give him some of his own. Trunks dodged a few then got hit hard in the face & doubled back before turning round with a round house that hit Tank. Tank recovered & started to throw kicks & punches at Trunks, which he dodged & returned some of his own.

Zara looked up & watched the battle. She knew who was going to win. She looked down again & shut her eyes. I…I can't fight my own father. Can I? No, I can't fight dad but I can't let Trunks get hurt…what am I supposed to do?

While she was thinking this, Trunks was punching Tank but was having no effect. Tank dodged one last punch before giving Trunks an uppercut followed by a kick to the stomach. Trunks was hit hard by it & was sent flying into the remains of a building. Tank stepped towards him, holding out a palm with a blast forming on it.

"Well, I have to admit that you put up a good fight but this is where you end." He said as Trunks looked up & stared at the blast. Zara lifted her head up to see what was happening & gasped. Before any of them realised what had happened, Tank had been kicked in to another building & Zara was helping Trunks up. They smiled at each other then looked over at Tank who was getting up.

"Bad move Zara. I'm going to have to hurt you now." He said as he smirked at them & stepped towards them.

Zara looked up at Trunks & he looked back at her. She smirked & they both turned to face Tank & got into their stances. They both then charged towards Tank & attacked him head on. Zara jumped & did a round house to Tank's head while Trunks kicked Tank's legs out from under him. Tank fell back but managed to grab Zara's arm & fling her over his head then turned & got punched in the face by Trunks. Zara landed on her feet & turned round in time to kick Tank in the head & both Trunks & Zara started throwing punches & kicks at Tank. Tank managed to block them & hit both the teenagers off & take to the air. The teens followed him & kicked him in the stomach. Both teens jumped back & aimed their strongest blasts at Tank & fired. They both hit the target & when the smoke cleared Tank was gone. Both looked round for the full blooded Kalroo then were hit with a blast. They both started to fall but turned round so that they landed on their feet & looked up at Tank before flying back up & attacking again.

"TANK! ZARA! What are you doing?" all three stopped in the middle of their attack & looked down to see Sam staring up at them.

"Mom?"

"Sam? Why'd you stop us?"

"I stopped you because this is ridiculous!" everyone looked at each other before looking back at Sam. Sam growled & beckoned Tank to come down. He did so & she grabbed his collar & pulled him away from the other two.

"Tank, why are you doing this? If you want Zara to come back then fighting someone she likes is not the way to do it!"

"It worked before…"

"No, me reasoning with her worked before! Besides, this one is stronger then the rest."

"So? He's still no match against me!" Tank said, puffing out his chest.

"Tank, get a clue. Destroying everyone that girl likes won't help. She needs to settle down eventually."

"Then I'll just beat up all the guys out there till I find one I like." Sam sweat dropped.

"Men! All they think about is fighting, never anything else…" Sam muttered as she folded her arms & looked away.

"I…I thought that was what you liked about me…"

"Shut up, I'm thinking." She snapped as she looked up at Trunks & read his mind.

"He'll do. He's a sayain. He'll be perfect."

"What! But sayains are weak and…" Sam hushed him & flew up to Zara. Are you sure that this is what you want. Once we leave you will never be welcomed back. You will be regarded as a traitor to the crew & if you leave this planet then… Yeah mom, I know. I will be terminated. I'm not going to leave. Just 'cause you hated it doesn't mean I will. Sam nodded & flew off with Tank. Trunks stared at them then back at Zara.

"What just happened here?" Zara smiled.

"They let me go. Guess mom was in a good mood…" Trunks stared then looked back at Sam & Tank.

They landed & looked around.

"I can't believe he destroyed west city…" Trunks said. Zara looked down then her head snapped up.

"I'm sensing something. Someone survived."

"What? How can that be?"

"They must have been below ground."

"We have to find them then! Come on!" Trunks said as he pulled Zara off towards the source of the energy signal.
