Chapter Twenty - Revelations
While their attention had been diverted to the others Dabura had gone below to join up with Bobidi. "What did you think you were doing up there!" Bobidi cried as the Demon King entered. "All those explosions could have released Buu before he was ready!"
"That wasn't me doing that." Dabura replied. "Three powerful warriors arrived shortly after you left..."
"What!"
"... relax, they're after the others, not us. One of the new one's killed one of the one's with the Supreme Kai and then one of the ones with him retaliated and killed the one who did the killing. That was the explosions."
Bobidi stared at Dabura a moment /That made next to no sense, guess I'll have to see for myself./ and the he looked over at the sphere holding Buu inside before he moved on. He stopped in front of his crystal ball and called up the scene outside. Gohan had turned from the crater and dropped down beside Videl's body holding her head to his chest, tears in his eyes.
"Impressive!" Shiko called over to him. "You're a Sai-jin if I'm not mistaken. A Super Sai-jin at that. You may have been able to beat Zarbon, but he was the weakest of us. Brolly, if you don't mind."
Brolly stepped forward. "It would be a pleasure. Allow me to show you the power of a true Super Sai-jin! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He clenched his fists and began to power up. His muscles began to build as his hair stood up and he grew in size.
"That's unbelievable!" Vegeta cried watching. "His power's massive and he's only at the first level."
Trunks dropped to the ground and started to walk toward Brolly as the large Sai-jin finished transforming. "Trunks, what are you doing!" Goku called down.
"I have a score to settle."
"But if you lost last time how..."
"I don't know."
Goku started to drop as well.
"No, I'll handle this alone." Trunks said.
"But..."
"Quiet Kakkarotto! Let him be. He's a true warrior, a real Sai-jin, unlike some people." He turned and looked back at Goku. "Not to drag up bad memories for the kid," he glanced at Gohan who had laid Videl's arms across her chest and now walked toward their group. "but you remember Videl's fight against Spoppovitch, right? Even you can't be that dense. She stood no chance when she stepped into that ring, but she didn't give up. She didn't let the fact that she was outmatched deter her. And in the end she managed to win. I only wish there were Sai-jins like her, then maybe we wouldn't be the last of our race. Some things you have to do on your own."
Trunks smiled faintly to himself. /I hope he's right about this./ he shook his head slowly. /No, can't think that way. I'll win this time, I've got the advantage. I've seen him fight, I was the opponent after all. Where as he's never fought me, or even seen me fight. Time travel has it's advantages..../ He closed his eyes and felt out Brolly's power. /He is strong, just as strong as I remember... guess it's his maximum, well, that is what Hiroshi said. Don't think he's going to play around any either so I'll have to come out swinging./
Trunks cracked his neck as the others all landed. Brolly started walking forward, "You'll have to enlighten me as to this score you have to settle with me. I've been so many places the last few years that I can't remember every face these days."
Trunks smiled. "That's no problem, you've never met me before this, though I have fought you. It's complicated, so let's just say I'm from the future and leave it at that."
"The future huh?" Brolly asked. "And in this future we've fought?"
Trunks nodded. "You destroyed my world, or will, whatever."
"What!" Goku cried.
Trunks looked back. "I hadn't said anything before because I didn't want any of you to worry. After my fight against Brolly here we were both pretty out of it. I couldn't stand but he managed to. With barely enough energy to move he decided to pull back, while he did mom found me and gave me the last Senzu Bean we had. We spent the next few hours readying the time machine."
He turned to face Brolly again. "It happened as I climbed into the machine to come back, this golden glow shown through the window. Then I felt the energy building. Mom kept telling me to get into the time machine and go, I was refusing for a time, until someone came over and told us what was happening outside. It was you, floating above the city with an energy bomb the size of the moon over your head.
"We both knew our Earth was gone, there wasn't a chance to stop that attack, it was to massive for me to deflect. So I climbed into the machine and left. We didn't have enough to send me back as far as we'd wanted, I ran out of power and crashed here, yesterday."
"Ah, I see." Brolly said. "But I don't see how you could have stood against me, the strongest Sai-jin to ever live, for very long."
Trunks looked back at Vegeta. "You know him don't you? You are a Sai-jin after all."
"Of course, the heir to the Sai-jin throne," he smirked. "Prince, Vegeta" he said sarcastically.
"King." Vegeta corrected. "I have an heir of my own now."
Brolly turned his eyes to Trunks. "A Sai-jin? With that hair and those eyes?" he smiled again. "Ah, a half-breed. Well half-breed, let's get this over with shall we?"
Trunks smiled and transformed into a Super Sai-jin. "The last time I did this you had the same shocked look on your face, but I should tell you that every Sai-jin on this planet can do this. Of course, most of us can even do this." his grin grew bigger as his energy built and he transformed again to the second level.
