Chapter 14: Trunks' metamorphosis

"So you must be Koola huh?" Goku asked.

"You're going to pay for what you did to my father," Trunks added.

The Z-Fighters landed in front of Koola who was standing there motionless, not saying a word, not blinking his eyes, almost not breathing. So calm, he was.

"Let me handle this foe, guys," Trunks said as he proceeded towards Koola.

The young Saiyan transformed as his hair turned gold and his eyes green. The others wouldn't let themselves get surprised and also transformed. Goku went Super Saiyan and Tien, Krillin and Yamcha went Super Human. Their eyes followed Trunks who walked confidently in Koola's direction. Koola stared at him with those cold, lifeless, red eyes which were a reflection of his numbness.

"It looks like we're going to have visitors today," Koola said.

"I know Piccolo is underway but he won't be needed. I can take you on by myself."

"Such a big mouth for a little punk. It's time someone taught you some manners."

'How does he know another one is nearing. He doesn't have a scouter.'

Everyone looked to the sky where Piccolo was on his way. The Namekian landed next to Goku and greeted the rest of the group with a usual nod.

Trunks disappeared and got back at the right side of Koola ready to punch him with everything he had. Koola got a grip on the fist and started squeezing it till Trunks got on his knees.

"Is that all you've got? I expected more, even from a Super Saiyan," Koola said as he kicked Trunks on the head.

He threw the boy away to the same place where Vegeta was lying.

"So who's next?" the Ice-jin asked.

"You can have a shot at me now," Piccolo replied.

Piccolo got in front of Koola and took of his white gown and turban. His two antennas appeared from beneath it and Piccolo did some warm-up exercises.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Piccolo," Tien said from behind him.

"There's only place for one alien on this planet. And that would be me," Piccolo stated.

"But I'm one too, Piccolo," Goku joked.

"Shut up, Goku," Piccolo was smart enough not to mention the Saiyan was stronger than him.

"It would be better if we attack him together," Krillin suggested.

They got into position and surrounded Koola who was now standing in the center of them. They sped forward and tried to hit Koola who easily dodged every attack. Krillin was the first to get a beating as Koola used his tail to smack him. A bit later Yamcha and Tien suffered the same fate. Now only Piccolo and Goku were left to fight and defend planet Earth. They both got on a side of Koola and flew with high speed towards him. Koola was that fast, he could use After Image just before Goku and Piccolo both tried to strike. They almost hit each other and Koola used his time advantage to fire at Krillin, Tien and Yamcha. He got to kill them all but noticed Vegeta and Trunks were gone. This led to a lack of concentration so Goku and Piccolo could punish the error. Goku kicked him in the stomach and Piccolo punched him from behind in the back. Koola wasn't really impressed by this as he wrapped up Goku with his tail and elbowed Piccolo. He jabbed Piccolo into the ground and held up Goku with his tail. The Ice-jin realized he had no time to fool around and fired a small Death Ball through Goku. This meant the end of another great warrior and it seemed like the Earth was done for.

"Don't fight the magic,' a familiar girl's voice said.

Quistis and Squall were healing Vegeta and Trunks. They had come together with Chi Chi, Master Roshi, Chaozu, Yajirobe and Gohan in a flying mobile. They had been looking for Goku and by coincidence met Ox King who told his connection with Goku. They had given Bulma a Senzubean but Trunks and especially Vegeta were in worse shape. Trunks got up pretty fast and saw his father lying unconscious on the floor. He couldn't feel any of the other's power levels and asked what had happened. No one knew exactly but Trunks could sense a little energy spike that was probably descended from Piccolo. Since the Namekian was on low fuel, Trunks had to head back. Squall offered his services and was going to supply him the necessary magical powers. When they got there, Piccolo was down on his knees, still recovering from an earlier attack.

"Piccolo, where are the others?" Trunks asked.

"I've killed them," Koola's voice was heard from the sky.

The anger inside of the young Saiyan started to spread like a burning fire.

"Here, I've got something for you. Use this wisely," Squall said.

"What are these?" Trunks asked.

"You have to crush this stone and throw the dust over you. Don't let the power of the stone consume you. This other item has never been used before and I'm not sure what it is. It is told to me a Guardian Force is locked inside of it," Squall tried to explain.

Squall then used Ultima magic as a way to escape. While Ultima stones were exploding on Koola, Squall got away and Trunks did as he was told. He threw the first item over him who seemed to be a very precious stone. Trunks got surrounded by a green mist at first but then his aura started to come out of his body. He could feel a new, unknown power overwhelming his soul. It was amazing to see how big and thick his aura was becoming. His power was increasing very fast and he was a lot stronger than a normal fully trained Super Saiyan. He hadn't reached Super Saiyan 2 though but his power was intense. His entire body and eyes were glowing. His aura was wasn't the usual yellow-gold but it had red and blue flames in it too. Koola checked his scouter and saw the boy had a power level of 350 million. Trunks still had the other item in his right hand and opened it. It started to rain and a knight came riding on a grey horse with six legs. The knight wore an old, silver armor and then turned his sight to Trunks.

Siruko Song: Thanks for the remark but it will become a Gohan story in the end. He will get some special features in the next chapters but I have a real good idea about what to do with his character.
