Chapter Two: The Second Super Sayian

Trunks flared out at Gohan so angrily that he couldn't even tell which way he was punching. Gohan, on the other hand, was gapping with shock. What was Trunks doing this age? He was almost as old as Gohan was. In fact, he probably was Gohan's age! But that couldn't be right…

Gohan avoided all of Trunks' violent attacks easily. Trunks was powered up to Super Sayian but he must have been new at it cause his moves were very sloppy. Gohan dodged a blow to his head and grabbed Trunks wrist preparing to do a brutal offensive upper cut, when it hit Gohan that he couldn't harm Trunks. Trunks was his friend. Gohan dropped his grip and flipped backwards through the air still managing to dance out of Trunks' reach.


Trunks threw his last punch hoping that it would finally hit flesh. Unfortunately, the "android" caught his punch. Trunks let out a angry yell and threw a second punch with his free hand. That was caught as well. Trunks squinted up at the "android" angrily when suddenly his vision smoothed out. The rage that had been so present on his face faded instantly into shock. Now he understood why he couldn't lay a punch or a kick. This person that stood before him was a Super Sayian. But how could that be? All the others who Gohan had mentioned to be Super Sayians were wiped out. Who was this guy? And why was he so strong?

Gohan smirked privately at Trunks' shock. His face still stayed emotionless though. He was still trying to figure this out himself.

"You're a Sup-Super Sayian," Trunks stuttered.

Gohan nodded. His aqua eyes followed Trunks up and down, looking him over. Trunks blushed thinking that he must of looked as surprising to this guy as much as Trunks found him. Trunks powered down back to his normal self. His wet purple hair fell limply back in it's normal position. He waited for this boy to do the same. But Gohan's eyes were no longer on Trunks…


The pirates who had stayed silent watching the fight commence were now through with waiting. Their shock had drained away quickly on seeing Gohan easily defend himself. Gohan was distracted, so now was the time to attack. Zangya turned to Buujin and Bido and nodded from them to strike. Smiles swept across their faces as they cracked their knuckles happily. Finally they would be able to finish this guy off…



G
ohan saw them approach from behind Trunks. There was no time for introductions…

"Watch out!" Gohan shouted.

Gohan took Trunks by his hands and flung him out into the air. Trunks wailed in fright, spinning around uncontrollably. He managed to catch himself right before running to a old apartment building. His feet tapped the wall of the building lightly as he finally coasted to his stop. Trunks let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his face. The rain stung his face harder now as when he was a Super Sayian the rain would dissolve by the heat of the Super Sayian's aurora. Trunks wiped his wet bangs out of his face and glared down at the intense combat below. His heart twanged with fear as he saw the boy he was attacking just moments before damage the alien villains, that had lunged out at him, so. His fighting capabilities were way beyond any that Trunks could manage. And even Gohan couldn't master that much strength!

It hit Trunks that boy was not harming Trunks at all they way he was fighting those guys now. Why was that? Was it because he was a Super Sayian like himself… or was it something more? Something that Trunks couldn't see? Trunks squinted through the rain down at the golden haired boy below him. Yes. He did look slightly familiar. Where had he seen that face? That boy looked so cold and emotionless it didn't seem possible that he could have been anyone Trunks knew. Even the androids weren't emotionless. They had anger and humor too. If you could really call that humor… Trunks cringed at the android's mocking jokes that rang in his ears.

If this boy wasn't someone Trunks knew, then who was he? And why was he here? Why now?


Zangya's eyes drew away from the combat that her comrades fought in to the young purple haired boy who stood above the battle area. He was extremely weak compared to Gohan. Defiantly not worth her time. But then why did Gohan fight so hard to protect him? Her cold blue eyes fell upon Gohan once more. That boy had to be someone special to Gohan. Maybe a brother? She looked back up at the boy. He must of sensed her gaze for he looked down at her. Their eyes met briefly. Yes. He was something special to Gohan. Maybe not a brother. But a friend perhaps. And if she couldn't kill Gohan then maybe taking rage out on this boy would be fun. Zangya brushed her orange bangs out of her eyes and smirked sinisterly up at the boy. He looked taken aback by her smile. Good. He didn't know what she was planning.



T
runks noticed how that one villain was looking up at him. What did she mean by that smile. Before he could work it out she had disappeared from his gaze. Expecting her to come up behind the Super Sayian boy, he wasn't too startled by it. But he should have been more cautious. That is why the androids always won. He let his guard down.



G
ohan's fight with the pirates was getting more vicious. Gohan guessed they realized how worthless their attacks on him were. Well, they had picked the fight on this planet. They should have known better.

Suddenly, Gohan's heart gave a sudden jolt. He thought Trunks was safe up where he was. Gohan flipped backwards away from his competitors so he could get a view on Trunks. It surprised him that Trunks was still standing watching him… then what was that terrible foreboding he had felt a few seconds before. Bido threw a punch at Gohan's head which Gohan easily ducked. The fight continued up again, but all the while, Gohan kept his gaze up on Trunks. Was it just a feeling?

Gohan had just narrowly avoided a strange attack from Buujin when he felt it. The sudden swift in air current. His heart have an almightily lurch. No! Gohan spun about just to see Zangya appear behind Trunks…


Trunks didn't sense her until it was too late. He turned quickly trying to block whatever attack she threw his way. But Trunks wasn't strong enough. Zangya gave him one punch to the chest cracking his rib cage and sending him hurling into the empty housing complex. Trunks sucked in his last painful breath as he was flung backwards into the building… Gohan. Trunks' heart soared at the thought that he might actually see Gohan again… and meet his father. No androids. Not anymore. He would be happy.

Then someone shouted his name… It wasn't clear. Not clear at all. Muffled by the sound of the collapsing building about him. But it sounded so familiar. Gohan? But Gohan was dead? Was it that Super Sayian? Could he be…


"NOOOOOO!" Gohan screamed. "TRUNKS! Hold on buddy! You can't die on me! Not this time, please!"

Gohan's anger reached its maxim. He charged full out at Zangya. She wasn't expecting him…He punched her smartly in the cheek and several times all over her body, kicking and flaring out at her in anyway that he could. Gohan grabbed Zangya roughly by the throat and pressed her against the wall of a school house. She didn't squirm or try to break free of his grip. She just glared at Gohan with her baleful gaze.

His control over his anger came back to Gohan. He still did not let her go. He gave her the worst death glare that any one could managed.

"You better hope that Trunks is okay," Gohan whispered in a low hiss. "For your sake."

Gohan dropped her suddenly. Zangya's eyes went wide when she found she could breath again. She sucked in the clean bitter sweet air of this planet and coughed. She clutched her sore throat glaring at the boy that had spared her life. Coming up sneakily behind Gohan, she could see Bido and Buujin. They were glowing with anger at him hurting their second in command. But she knew Gohan could see them. He was watching them out of the corner of his eye with a sinister smile. Bido was the first to lunge out at him but his fist went through air. All the pirates faces a lit with shock. He was gone.

Zangya looked up to see Bojack watching. His eyes strangely focused. He wasn't acting normal at all. Suddenly, a smile broke across his face. He looked down at them all with his mysterious stare. Zangya blinked and looked over to Bido who was suddenly gasping as if out of air. Bido's eyes went wide and he screamed in pain. Suddenly Zangya and Buujin were blown back by a powerful gust of power. Zangya covered her face with her arms to feel bits of dust burn her skin. She squinted open one eye. What she saw, opened both her eyes about as wide as Bido's eyes were a few seconds before.

Buujin and Zangya stood a few feet apart dust falling over them… but it wasn't normal dust. Zangya lifted her hand faintly to catch a small piece of purple cloth that was hovering through the air. Bido was gone.


Gohan didn't mean to punch that hard…but the blow to neck he had given Bido was meant to kill. Gohan rubbed his sore hand for a second before turning his attention back to the subject at hand. The pirates could wait. They were too astonished to attack yet anyway. Which gave him the advantage. The others weren't weak like Bido. He wouldn't be able to kill them that easily let alone in time to save Trunks.

Gohan landed in the rubble that was once the apartment building. Somewhere underneath this rubble, Trunks lay buried alive. Gohan sensed Trunks' power level getting weaker and weaker by the second. The slowest way to save him was to dig… or there was always the fastest way.

Gohan's boots sparked with strange blue lighting. The electricity forked its snake like way up Gohan's body but Gohan paid it no mind. He kept his eyes closed concentrating. Abruptly, his blue eyes flashed opened. Gohan's arms fell back to his side and his body lifted upwards. His scream echoed across the shadowed world like a eerie song of revenge. His hair shot straight upwards with the lighting taking a stiff appearance. His eyes darkened not with the transformation but with determination. He would have to make sure that he would help Trunks more then harm. He had to be careful on how he powered up. Rocks and rubble about him hovered up into the air. The ground beneath his feet caved in under his power. Gohan let out a high pitched wail and everything went white…


Bojack covered his face to shield from the blinding light. Zangya and Buujin followed his example. As soon as the light cleared they looked down below to see Gohan kneeling over the purple haired boy's body. Trunks lay bloody and beaten on the ground, his chest slowly raising and falling. He was still alive.

Gohan, back to regular Super Sayian, draped the limp Trunks over his shoulder. He pulled out of his side pack a senzu bean.

"You'll be back to normal in no time, Trunks… but maybe it would be better if we got away from here first," Gohan whispered.

Gohan looked up to Zangya. He held up one hand as a blast formed. Zangya began to sweat. The blue blast of energy screamed up at her. Zangya slipped under it, feeling the wind of the blast brush back her hair. But Buujin wasn't so lucky. He held up a small barrier that shattered upon contact with the blast. He was hurled through several buildings and out of sight. Zangya stood gapping in shock. Buujin's power level was still there, but had decreased dramatically. The good news was he was still alive. So that wasn't a killing blast… so that meant it was used for a distraction. Zangya looked down to see Gohan and Trunks gone.

Bojack drifted down to Zangya's side. He looked over at his companion smoothly, "So, shall we go after him?"

Zangya was silent for a long time. Finally, she looked up at him, "No. We need to regroup with what we have. It's gonna take a lot more then what we have right now. We need to recover and learn from our mistakes."

"Good. You are beginning grasp what I have taught you, young one… I am proud," Bojack smiled.
