Chapter

Peace at last
Sweat was dripping of Trunks' face. "Will you give up, boy?" his blonde nightmare said. "Never!" Android 18 slowly came to him. "You can't win boy.. you will only end up dying, like your friend – Gohan. Why not just give up? We might let you live, you know.." Trunk shook his head, and tried to smirk. It was hard.. he had been receiving several attacks from his lethal enemies, and he felt as if he was going to die – he probably was.. "Why would I believe you?" he asked her. Android 18 threw her head backwards. "Wrong answer boy." She said. "Too bad.. I wouldn't have mind playing another game with you." The android winked and rejoined her brother.
Trunks
blinked with his eyes. Another game? He thought, no way, he'd
rather die. "Come on, let's finish it!" he heard Android 17
say. Trunks prepared himself for another attack and looked at the
androids.
Android 17 flew at him, probably meaning to attack him
head-on. Trunks saw it coming and disapeared. He reapeared in 17's
blind side and blew him into the ground. "That's for my mom."
He said raging. The boy started collecting all of his strength to try
and take out the android once and for all – or to die trying. He
flew over to Android 17 and yelled: "Stand up! I won't kill a
coward." Android 17 looked up to him and stood up. "Fight me!"
he said calmly. Trunks nodded and formed a ki-ball. When he felt he
had collected enough energy he threw it at Android 17 – who easily
avoided it. Then immediately Trunks threw a much bigger and more
powerful one at him – which hitted him right in his face. "That's
more like it!" trunks yelled enthousiasticly. He quickly moved
towards Android 17, and literally kicked his head off. Surprised he
looked at the headless body of the male android. It was still
floating "What the..." he said and threw another ki-ball at it,
which caused the body to explode.
"Brother?"
Android 18 gasped. She blinked. The one she hated, yet loved had
killed her only relative left. "You...MONSTER" she yelled and
flew away from the scene, not wanted to see the loose head, nor the
damaged body. She hid herself in one of the buildings she destroyed,
one of the buildings where thousands of humen died through her hands
and she cried. All the pain from the past eightteen years came back,
everything she had done – she realised it was wrong.. she shouldn't
have done it. She shouldn't have killed all those people, they
didn't deserve it.
Her brother did deserve to die.
She knew
that.. and it hurted. He would never find peace, another pair of
tears filled her eyes. "I'd better end this as well." She said
calmly. "I will see you soon brother." And the android
deactivated herself by blasting a ki-ball into her own stomach.
Trunks
was beathing heavily, he had finally destroyed android 17 – still
he didn't feel good. He felt guilty. A feeling he didn't quite
understand. He had released the world of the horror one of the
androids had brought, which was a good thing – but still..
"I
wonder where 18 went." He said so himself. He remember what she
said to him. 'Playing another kind of game.' Trunks shivered,
never.
Then all of a sudden he felt something, an unkown energy.
"What?" the worries about the other android left his mind as he
flew of, to find out where the ki came from.
"There's
nothing here." Trunks said to himself as he gazed around. The ki he
felt a few minutes ago was gone.
"Anybody here?" he shouted.
No reply.
Trunks angered, he was positive he had felt something –
someone. So he decided to ask his question again: "Anybody here?"
he shouted once again.
Something moved, the ki came back as Trunks
looked up. A silhouette was bathing in sun's light. "Come down."
Trunks asked the person. This isn't an android – he was thinking,
it didn't look like one, nor did it's ki feel one.
As the
person moved down Trunks began to notice curves in it's body. With
a shock the saiyan realized it was a woman! As she landed she
looked at him.
"Who
are you?" she asked and threw her darkbrown hair backwards. "I
better ask you that, I've never seen you before." Trunks replied,
not completely trusting the woman standing in front of him. She was
beautiful, for sure.. but something in her eyes worried him. They
were green, and seemed dead – like the android's eyes. The girl
smiled. "I'm not from around here, so it's quite obvious you've
never seen me before, don't you think?" Trunks thought he heard a
sarcastic undertone in her voice, but he wasn't sure so he decided
to ignore it. "Well.. since you're not from around here, I will
tell you: My name's Trunks." The girl lifted an eyebrow. "Ok,
I'm Tavi. Would you happen to know two men named Kakarotto and
Vegeta?"
Trunks blinked, she knew his fathers name, and Goku's
saiyan name – who is that woman? "I knew them, they're dead now
though." Tavi looked down, a glance of sadness seemed to be laying
in her eyes. "Dead? Then I didn't even have to bother coming here
– damn it." She turned around and wanted to walk away.
"Wait!
Why are you looking for them?" Tavi looked at Trunks over her
shoulder. "Why would I tell you, earthling?" she asked. "I'm
no earthling.. well not completely that is." Tavi lifted an eyebrow
and turned back to him. "Is that so?" she asked him. Trunks
nodded. "Yeah, the two you seek were saiyan.." he started. "You
know about..?" "I am demi-saiyan." Tavi's eyes seemed to
enlarge slightly. "You? But your hair." "It's lavender I know
– that's only because I'm a demi." Tavi frowned, and then
shook her head. "You don't really expect me to believe that,
boy?" she asked.
"I don't expect anything from people I
don't know." Tavi smirked. "Such a clever boy." She said
teasing, and walked towards him. "So if you are demi-saiyan.."
she said. "You must have some fighting powers?" Trunks nodded. "I
do, yeah. Why?" he asked.
"I need help." was all Tavi said
as response. "Help with what?
