Chapter 3 - Confrontation!
Trunks couldn't believe his eyes! The innocent purple haired girl that once stood there, was now a blonde badgirl. Her lip curled into a mischeivous grin, making him gulp in awe. The attractive curves to her body made him sweat, a deep rose colored blush appearing on his tan cheeks.
" Back off! " she shouted, raising the Machine Gun she held tightly in her palms to his face. The fury in her eyes made chills run down his spine, and he backed away slightly.
" Launch? "
Roshi and the kids were cowering against the wall behind him, not wanting to stop the blonde beauty. Trunks didn't understand what was going on, but he was trying his best to play along.
" You heard me, boy! Back off! " She hissed at him once again.
Trunks frowned, his ice blue eyes piercing into hers. This was insane, how could such a sweet girl turn into such a bad girl with an attitude? He thought for a second, not afraid of the bullets within the weapon.
" That will be all, now out of my face! " a raspy voice ordered.
The teenage boy shuddered and walked away. There was no use, at this rate they'd be slaves for eternity. He didn't want it to happen, he wanted to make his Saiyan anscestors proud.
" Prince? " a kind voice called from behind him.
The teen turned around, only to find his friend Nappa standing there. He had a bushy hair style, making every strand slide in every direction. He may not have been the handsome type, but he was a true friend and heavily built. Nappa could lift a large mountain with just one finger with ease.
" Prince Vegeta? What did Frieza say? "
Vegeta shook his head, his long black hair waving in the same direction. Vegeta was short, about 4 feet tall. His dark hair stuck up nicely, and he had several bangs the went over his eyes. His bangs had always been a bother, and had recently been considering cutting them. " Frieza's nothing but a cruel freak of nature! "
Nappa nodded, agreeing with this comment. They had been at the mercy of Freiza for about five years now, and every day it seemed hard to go on.
" Don't worry, Nappa... ", Vegeta grinned, clenching his gloved hand into a fist. " We'll get through this...trust me ".
The larger man nodded again, running a hand through his messy hair. He followed Vegeta down the dark hallway, praying that the boy knew what he was doing.
" Vegeta! I'd get away if I were you! " Krillin panicked, still clinging to the wall.
Trunks grabbed the end of the gun with his hand, crushing it to nothing.
Furious, Launch threw a punch towards his chin. But, in a flash, Trunks raised his arm to block it with ease. The young saiyan grinned, lowering his arm. He seemed to be enjoying this, his saiyan blood always boiled for some kind of challenge. But, this was nothing but a child's game to him.
" What are you? " Launch hesitated, stepping back in fear.
He followed her, a small grin still on his lips. He hadn't had this much fun then when he trained with Gohan.
Launch hit her foot on something solid, clueing in that she'd run out of places to run.
Trunks stopped in front of her, staring straight into her eyes for the first time. That's what made him realize. She was still Launch.
Launch bit her lip, an angry expression printed on her face. She was confused, and had no idea why he was looking at her that way.
He blinked, observing her more. If her eyes were the same then... " Launch? "
She jumped slightly, sweat pouring down her neck.
(One Hour Later)
Trunks sighed, sitting on the stairs in front of Kame House. He had no idea how he was going to get back home. The reckage of the Time Machine was so extreme that it would take him several weeks to fix it. But, what was he going to do here? He couldn't hide the truth to his identity for long.
He was afraid that him telling them that his name was Vegeta would somehow effect the future. But, remembering his Mother's words. She'd said that just because they can save the past from the Androids, it was certain that their future wouldn't change. There must be two realities, that seemed a bit freaky to him. Also, it was a bit dissapointing. How would they save their own world from those mechanical beings? It didn't make sense for him to have even traveled back in the first place.
" Vegeta? "
Trunks looked up, seeing the now normal Launch standing there. " Hey Launch... "
" Can I sit? "
He nodded, moving over slightly. She looked so beautiful at night.
Launch sat down next to him, staring at the ocean in awe. " Isn't it lovely? "
Trunks nodded, feeling the cool breeze run through his soft hair. It tickled his nose, and made him giggle.
The young girl looked over at him in confusion. " What's so funny? Did I miss something? "
" Everything's fine... " he smiled, " Everything's fine ".
