Chapter 21: The Battle Begins
Marai Trunks came home early that day after convincing the nurse that he was ill. The teen was very worried about Dashi and wanted to see her, to talk to her, but was pulled aside by the younger him.
"Why are you such a smurfing jerk?" Chibi practicly yelled when they were alone.
"What?"
The child crossed his arms angrily and looked more like his mother in that instant then he ever had before. "You know what I mean. What's with the sudden attitude change?" Tra's stern and commanding glare began to soften. "I know you like Dashi... so why are you being such a smurf to her now?"
Marai opened his mouth to argue, to say that Dashi was just a friend and nothing had changed, but couldn't. He sighed and leaned heavily against the wall while staring at his feet. "I can't," he wispered softly.
Chibi Trunks stepped closer, not quite hearing the other him. "What was that?"
"I said I can't," Trunks replied a bit angrily as he brought his eyes to meet chibi's. "Mother, that is my mother, told me not to get too involved with anyone here. I'm supposed to return in two months you know. I can't... it's just better for her to hate me now than be crushed when I leave."
"But... but couldn't you... what if she... that's just stupid!" Tra stopped his foot angrily. He took a calming breath and looked back at Trunks. "It's too late for that." Chibi no longer looked cross. "You are involved with Dashi, wiether the two of you admit it or not. I don't like seeing her upset Trunks, don't you get it? You aren't making her hate you, you're making her hate herself." The kid walked out of the room, a new perspective of Marai's situation now in his head.
*********** ************* ************ *************** *****
Jimi hovered above the city, hate in her eyes and a ki blast in her hand. "Doku! Here's your wake-up call!" She let the blast fly from her hand into the city streets below. "Come on! I'm sick of waiting!" She bagan to form another blast when someone she'd never seen before came into view. "Who the smurf are you?"
Vegita glared, not bothering answer and simply threw a punch at the woman, which she blocked easily. "Father!" The two SSJ demi-saiya-jins flew up beside the prince. Jimi looked around and growled.
"Where's the other one? I want Doku!" Jimi stomped her foot in the air and prepared to launch more attacks into the city.
"We have to lead her away from everyone." Marai spoke softly while drawing his sword,"follow my lead." The teen charged at his aponent with the blade and began to slowly direct her to the park outside of town. Switching between offence and defence the males finally got to their detination. Jimi grabbed CTrunks by the gi and whacked the other two with him. The boy bite her arm, making her drop him and leaving her open. Vegita delivered a hard punch in Jimi's stomach, but she simply elbowed him in the head. Vegita dropped a bit but caught himself and pwered upto SSJ. The running water of the parks stream was the only sound to be heard as the fighters faced off in the air. The saiya-jins charged forward and burried Jimi in kicks and punches, but she simply weaved in and out of the attacks.
Chibi powered up a ki blast, leaving himself open in the process. Jimi was above him in an instant and drove him down to the ground below. Before the child could remove himself from the rubble around him, dozens of flaming red streaks of energy hit him and the surrounding area. Marai and Vegita kicked the wicked female, cutting short her attack, but Chibi Trunks was already burried in rocks half his size, and unconcious.
Jimi smirked and began using the same blazing attack on Vegita. The prince tried his best to block the fire-like blasts and threw out a ki blast of his own when ever he could, but this was only a distraction. As far as they could tell, Jimi could not sense their energy. Marai Trunks slowly drifted behind the amazon and readied his blade. The teen slashed out, aiming for the neck, but at that same moment vegita had actualy gotten in a good hit and Jimi rolled down and to her left, her arms above her. The sword's target was missed, but it was not denied the taste of blood and flesh. Jimi screeched in surprise and pain as the blade cut into her arm two inches below the elbow and slid against the bone untill coming out at the wrist. Trunks' victory was short lived as Jimi's anger overcame her pain and grabbed him with the very same bone-exposed arm and hurled him downwards into the concrete bridge. The female growled low and angrily as she hurled herself at Vegita. She had resorted to a fighting style that vegita himself had never used, but seen many times. Jimi still kicked and punched, but more often she would scratch or bite and pull the prince's hair. This , as Vegita recalled, was the 'cat style', or something like that. He of course fought back and eventually got a good distance between himself and the angry woman. Little lines of blood decorated his face and arms but he just shrugged them off and prepared his offense. Vegita held out one finger and powered up one of his favorite attacks. The prince fired his planet-destroying attack which he had carefully aim to not hit the earth. It went straight through his opponet, but then Jimi began to fade. Vegita was confused, but more than that he was agry. That was alot of energy wasted. Jimi appeared suddenly beside him and punched him square in the jaw then grabbed his right leg with both hands. With a quick motion, Jimi broke Vegita's leg over her knee.
********** ******************** **************** ************ ** *********
"Dashi? May I come in?" Bulma slowly open the bedroom door and walked in without waiting for a response. Dashi was standing at her dresser and quickly closed the drawer she was looking in when the older woman walked in. The teen motioned to the single chair in the room and sat down on her bed. She was only a little surprised when Bulma sat next to her on the soft comferter. "I talked to Ch- uh, Tra earlier and he had talked to Trunks." Bulma sighed then and ran a hand through her short blue hair, " I Feel that it's time you knew a few things about this family, about Trunks. Then maybe things will make some more sence to you."
It was then, when Bulma started to explain about how her husband was some prince of an almost extict race and had at one time tried to destroy the earth, that Dashi heard a voice in her head. It was faint and muffled and she could not understand what was being said, or who was saying it. Dashi also relised then that Trunks had kept her secret, because if he had told Bulma then the woman wouldn't be trying to explain how her children were half alien. Dashi smiled to herself as she half-listened to Bulma's redition of Saiya-jin history.
********* ********* ********************** **** ******************* ******
Jimi was knocked backwards several yards and Vegita fell free. Marai Trunks charged at the craized female, swinging his sword as it had seemed to be effective against this enemy. Suddenly she was gone and Trunks followed her energy trail. he spun around and was rewarded with a punch in the stomach. Trunks hunched over slightly and slashed out with his sword but only hit air. Jimi had flown high above and was now desending with one leg extended. She hit Trunks right in the back and sent him flying into the ground. His sword went flying from his hand and landed several yards away when he hit. The teen started to get up but soon found the blood coated hands of Jimi around his neck. It was getting harder and harder to breathe and his vision was getting darker.
Trunks knew that they needed help and knew that Doku might be able to beat this stronger Jimi, but now that he knew Dashi was Doku, he wasn't so sure he wanted her here. He cared for Dashi alot, might even love her, he finnally admitted to himself. He didn't want her in danger, no matter how strong she was, he felt that it was upto him to protect her. 'Don't come Dashi...' he thought as everything grew dark and he passed out.
******* **************** * ************** ****************************** * *
'..on't come Dashi...'
The girl stood up suddenly from the bed as if bitten. There was a voice in her head and a pain in her heart, she knew imediatly that something was terribly wrong. She let her mind wander and searched out Trunks' energy and found it very weak, she also noticed another's ki. Dashi could have kicked herself for not noticing Jimi's ki earlier and wondered just how long the fight had been going on.
Bulma had been right in the middle of explaining 'bonding' when Dashi bolted up. She could see the pain, fear, then anger on the teenager's face. "Dashi, what is it?"
The girl didn't answer. Instead she raised her left hand, blew a hole in the wall, and flew away in a matter of seconds. Bulma coughed at the dust and watched with squinting eyes as the pink-haired girl disapeared into the sky.
