Episode 10 – Lee's Story
They stayed unconscious for a long time. When they finally woke up, they slowly brought themselves up to their feet and headed to the kitchen. They sat down. Trunks reached his hand in a bag. He looked inside and saw only two Senzu beans left. He took one and ate it. His energy refilled and his deep injuries faded. He looked at the last bean, reached in, and passed it to Lee. "Here eat it," he said. "Thanks," he said weakly. He broke it into half and ate one half of it. He put the other one in his pocket.
After being healed, they talked. It was silent for a while. Trunks attempted to speak with him, but ended up saying nothing. "So hey Lee, so were you the one that saved the girl in the fire?" asked Trunks in his attempt to start a conversation. "Yeah," he replied curtly. Trunks just nodded plainly. "So with all these stuff going on out there, how much do you know about these robots?" the Sayian asked. "Well, the robots we fought are referred to as Model 21Bs by some weird scientist guy. I heard that weird scientist guy talking about them to somebody or somebodies. I'm really not sure. I think they heard me hearing them, so that could be one reason why they chose to attack now," Lee explained. "Oh, ok," said Trunks with still slight confusion. "So since we are starting to interrogate each other now, I was just wondering, how a golden aura appeared around you with that yellow hair?" asked Lee. Trunks told him all he knew about his alien identity. After that, he told him about his past with the androids, two Cells, and his time travel experience. "Wow, are you telling me you met your dead father. You look like you're telling the truth, that's awesome. I wish I could meet mine," said Lee. "What happened to him?" he asked curiously. "Well, I guess...., since you told your story, it's only proper if I do the same."
"Wow, it's amazing, you actually have manners," said Trunks in amazement. "Shut up and listen," he ordered. "Anyways, when I was a little kid, I got kidnapped. My parents were in a huge debt, so loaners kidnapped me to even things out. Each day I ate their crap they call food. They just fed me with garbage, while they ate fancy food. Sometimes I try to steal their food, but I always get caught. They must've have cameras or something, because about 2 minutes later each time I stole their food, I would get caught and severely beaten, until all the food I ate came out through my mouth. They also embarrass me in front of public for their entertainment and abuse me, when they weren't happy with things. (Takes a breath of relief) But I finally did something about it. I had enough of it after six months of hell they gave me. I planned to escape. It was a 2 week secret independent project. Every minute of planning was vital during those two weeks. When I finally went into action, it was all worth it just to be free.
"Tell me more. What happened after that?" asked Trunks with the same amount of curiosity of a little boy's about babies. "Calm down boy. Anyway, I was about to starve to death, if it wasn't for a nice man that saved me. I lived with him and soon he became my sensei. He taught me all his techniques on pure hand to hand combat on the ground and fighting on trees. That was all I learned from him after his death. I was 19 and was coping on his death, which was caused by murder. I tried to avenge his death, but couldn't find any clues to help me find that person. Sensei Yoshi wasn't a big ki user and he wasn't a good flyer, but he taught me the basics of fighting and a lot about life and the streets. He made me, a little rich boy into a man with the confidence to defend myself. He didn't deserve to die. I finally gave up after a year, because I realize Sensei Yoshi didn't want me to run around like a maniac and being worthless. So I moved out to look for my parents. It wasn't long, till I found them. Well, actually it was only my mom, because my father got killed from a mob he borrowed money from. Poor guy, he never learned," he sadly told his story.
"Well, that explains a lot, but for a mere earthling, how did you get so strong?" asked Trunks. "My grandfather left a scroll at home, before he died. I accidentally put it in my bookbag when I was playing around with it. One day I was walking home from school, I got kidnapped. The words in the scroll were ancient Chinese, and Sensei Yoshi helped me decode it. I completed all obstacles on the scroll, which leveled up my potential and limits as a human, greatly. All I did was work hard with rough impossible training," he told him. "Cool," he expressed. "Should I call you Unlimited Lee or Lee the Great?" joked Trunks.
"Hmph. I don't intend to joke around with you, so I got to go," said Lee. "What? You're leaving?" asked Trunks in a surprised voice. "I got to train on my own. I don't like to spar and I don't ever want to talk like this. But today I learned you are not as bad of a fighter or a person as I thought you were. You earned my respect, but don't start thinking we're friends. Friendship between you and me will never exist. Peace!" he said. "How harsh! It's not like I want to train with you anyway," he whispered as Lee walked and disappeared into nothingness.
