Chapter 2: Battle of life or death
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~30 minutes later, inside the time machine~
A strong vibration awoke the passenger. Trunks opened his eye and could only see a sea of red. He blinked a few times and realised that it was his own blood all over his face and eyes. When he finally clear his vision, he saw the time machine landed in the middle of a plain surrounded by walls of mountains.
He tried to get up from the pilot seat. But he fell back to the seat as excruciating pain from the inside of his body struck him, hard. He closed his eyes and waited for the pain to subside, *This is even worse than I have expected. My internal organs must be seriously injured. It is a miracle that I am still alive, thought barely. I could have dropped dead at any moment from now.*
He looked at the sky. Unlike the sky of his timeline, which was always dusty and reddish, the sky in this timeline was clear and bright blue. Trunks, however, missed the ugly sky of his timeline.
*Mum...* a tear escaped his eyes, the very first tear he shed since the death of his mentor, Gohan, *I am sorry that I failed to protect you. I am so sorry. I will complete your last wish no matter what. Please protect me so that I can live until I give the antidote to Goku-san. Then I will join you in the other world...*

~30 minutes later, somewhere among the mountains~
The Z-warriors watched in horror as a gigantic spaceship flied pass them, all sensed the powerful ki of Freeza and his father, Cold.
The group was greatly shaken by the overwhelming power of the father and son. They could only watch as Freeza ordered his alien troops to kill all the people on earth as a 'welcome home gift' to Goku, who was still on the way to earth.
Out of thin air, flashes of light appeared. Three of the aliens fell to the ground, each cut into half.
"Oh..." Freeza said, an evil smile appeared on his scarred face, "An insect wanting to be the first victim of the Freeza troop."
Trunks stood in front of the group of aliens, using his sword as a support to his very battered body. He looked at Freeza and Cold, panting, "I won't let you to lay a hand on any of the human. I promised her that I will make sure the place would stay intact when Goku-san returns to earth."
Freeza spat, "Do you have a problem with your mind? Who the hell is 'her'? I don't know what you are talking about. But as you are on that Saiyajin's side, you must die right here."
Freeza turned to the troops, "Get rid of this insect and start cleaning up the humans!"
"Yes, sir!" the alien warriors replied as they started charging at the lavender-hair youth.
Flashes of light.
Trunks appeared behind the alien warriors, holding the sword tightly in his hand. One by one, the aliens fell to the floor. Unable to hold up anymore, Trunks let out a yell in pain as the numerous wounds all over his body inflicted in the previous fight with the androids re-opened due to his large movements and started bleeding heavily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Z-warriors watched in horror as they saw blood dripping from every part of the mysterious fighter.
"Piccolo-san," Gohan said, "Should we go and help him? I mean, I know he is really strong. But it seems that he was badly hurt before he comes. I am not sure if he can fight Freeza under this condition."
Piccolo thought for a while, "I don't know. We are not sure if he is a friend or a foe. Besides, I can sense that he has certain hidden power inside. We should be more careful with him."
Vegeta watched the scene with intensed eyes. He, too, sensed that the lavender-hair youth was no ordinary fighter, but he was not sure why he had this feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Freeza scanned the bodies of his troop with his cold unconcerned eyes.
"Impressive." he said as he fixed his gaze at the bloodied youth, "It seems that now I have to take care of you and the human by myself. Anyway, with your condition like this, why don't you just find a quiet corner and die? That way, I don't have to waste any time on a dying person."
Trunks inhaled deeply, fighting against the pain, "Don't you worry, I will. But I will take you and the monster behind you with me." Deep inside his heart, he knew that he had no chance to win the two monsters in front of him without changing into SSJ, *I doubt how long my body can stand under the SSJ status with the injuries... But I don't have a choice...*
"You arrogant brat! You will regret on what you have just said when you are on the way to hell!" Freeza yelled as he shot a powerful ki ball at Trunks. The ki ball exploded violently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Z warriors hid behind the mountain to avoid the after-wave of the explosion. When they returned, they could only see a gigantic crater at the point where the mysterious fighter stood, with a cloud of dust in the middle of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Weakling." Freeza laughed evilly, "Remember not to mess with someone as powerful as I am in your next life!"
Freeza's laugh stopped abruptly as a deep voice came within the cloud of dust, "What's so funny about it?"
Suddenly, a powerful golden ki blew the dust away like a tornado. Trunks stood in the middle of the crater, in his SSJ form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan murmured, "He... he is a super Saiyajin... Just like father did in the Namek planet..."
Vegeta watched in disbelieve, "How... how could he..." he asked in shock.
Piccolo, who was covered in cold swear, "What the hell is going on here? Who is he? Is he a Saiyajin as well?"
The Z-warriors were confused, but, at the same time, a light of hope appeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With lightening speed, Trunks charged towards Freeza, with his sword in his hand. In the next second, Freeza fell to the ground in a dozen pieces.
Trunks, on the other hand, stumbled and fell to the ground. He had returned to his normal status and fell to his knees, with his sword dropped beside him.
He could barely stay conscious under the excruciating pain from the inside of his body. The transformation to SSJ had worsened his already-severe internal injuries. He cupped his mouth but couldn't stop throwing up blood.
*No!* he screamed in his mind, *I can't die! Not now! Not until I give the antidote to Goku-san!*
With all his attention drawn to deal with the pain, Trunks did not notice that Cold was sneaking behind him.
Carefully, Cold picked up Trunks sword and towered over the youth, "Die, you worthless low class creature!" as he struck the sword towards Trunks.
"No!!!!" Gohan shouted and charged towards Cold, firing ki balls at Cold.
"Stupid brat!" Piccolo cursed as he charged after Gohan, sending ki-ray at Cold.
The other Z-warriors followed and started attacking Cold, though they knew very much that they didn't stand a chance of defeating the monster.
Cold turned to the group and smiled evilly, "How come there are so many insects wanting to die today?" as he swung the sword towards the group. The powerful air pressure created by the swing pushed the weaker members of the Z-warrior away, leaving Gohan, Vegeta and Piccolo on the attack.
But Cold was far too strong for the three. All too soon, the three were defeated and scattered around the area, battered and exhausted.
"Weaklings." Cold spat and walked towards Trunks, who was still kneeling on the ground after defeating Freeza. Cold held up the sword, ready to kill the biggest threat to him on the spot.
"No!!" Gohan charged and stood between Cold and Trunks.
The evil smile on Cold's face widened, "Well, insect, I will kill you along with him." as he struck the sword towards Gohan.
The sword stopped abruptly in mid-way. Cold watched in fear as he saw a bloodied hand caught the blade and stopped the sword with an iron grip.
It was Trunks. He stood and held the sharp blade with his bare hand, blood started dripping from the newly formed wound in his palm. He slowly looked up, meeting the eyes of Cold, "Don't you even dare thinking about killing Gohan..." as his other hand reached Cold's chest.
Golden ki suddenly surrounded Trunks as he turned to SSJ and a ray of golden light punched through the monster's chest, killing Cold instantly.
Trunks returned to his normal state and collapsed to the ground.
