Chapter 15

Cunning vs. Brawn

Vegeta looks upon the two active fighters, "She fight different from a Saiya-jin." he thought to himself, "Even for a female." he studies the previous movements she surprised his son with earlier, "Her moves were extremely quick, but not too powerful in strength and yet it still damaged him some. Almost as if he's fighting a shadow." he said to himself in wonders, "And I didn't sense any force of energy from the blow. That's preposterous."

The two floated in mid-air, looking one another dead in the eyes.

"Your move." he tells her.

She smirked, and charged him faster than the human eye can see. Charging him with a punch, he dodges and floats slowly towards the ground. Symone saw him and powered up to charge him fast with a kick. He disappeared before her foot hit the ground, causing the the ground to crumble. She saw him in the far left side.

"I hope this isn't what your Dad meant when he said you're a 'skillful fighter.'" he called to her, then smirked, "More like sloppy." he smirked, "Her moves are easily predicted. Just as I thought."

She growled, "Rrggh! He's taunting me! Okay, Symone, just calm down." she thought to herself, "It's time to think of a strategy." she smirked. She flew to his level, and powered up.

He looked at her, "I didn't think it would come to that, but okay." he powered up as well.

They both stared at each other as before, surrounded by their aura of energy. Symone launched at Trunks with a punch. He blocked it with his arms crossed over his face, trying to steady the force from Symone's punch, but felt his arms go numb from the force.

Symone smirked, she knew what was happening, "You're arms feel numb, don't they?" she asked, still forcing forward, "That usually happens when you're enduring a force for so long, but not this time. It takes affect in the matter of seconds."

He strained to overpower her, but the power was making his arms numb and almost useless. He grunted.

She backed away and kicked him sideways in the ribs. Causing him to fly to the side, towards a plateau.

She powered up and blasted at him before he hit the plateau.

With no hesitation, he blasted out of the mountain, at Symone, attacking rapidly with punches and kicks.

Symone punched at him, but he blocked it and kneed her in the stomach, then punched her in the jaw.

She begin to fall from the sky. Trunks begin to fall after her with a kick aiming for her torso. She vanished away and appeared before him and kicked at his stomach. He doubled over with pain, and she used both fist to knock him from the sky. She flew after him in top speed. He continue to fall, but surprised Symone, with a blast aiming for her. She covered her face with her arms in defense.

When she looked up, Trunks appeared before her, and punched at her. But she dodged to the side, and did a spin-kick to his neck, and he blocked it. Symone was on the attack.

Vegeta continue to watch the match. So far, he was impressed that Symone is lasting this long. But then again-- she is part Saiya-jin, "I guess the brat has more Saiyan in her than I thought." he thought to himself.

Trunks dodged her kick, that aimed straight for his stomach, then aimed and blast at her. She leapt onto a peak, and leapt back to the sky, before his blast hit her. He appeared before her, and punched her in the face.

Her body slammed into a plateau. Symone saw Trunks waiting for her to get up. She floated slowly towards him.

He smirked alittle, "Are you ready to give up?" he asked her.

She smirked back, "No. I'm just getting started." she said.

He chuckled alittle, "I knew you weren't being serious." he stood in his poster again, "Come on. Get serious about this, before my father grows impatient." he powered up a notch.

"Okay." she said and stood in her poster, then powered up.

Trunks can fill her energy grow dramatically.

Once again, they both stared at each other.

Symone vanished from Trunks' sight. She began to move fast leaping from peak to peak, to perform a sneak attack on Trunks. She saw him looking around to follow her movements. She smirked to herself, He can't follow my movements. He's one step behind. She appeared behind him and launched a kick to his spine.

Trunks turned quickly, and vanished from the attack. And counterattacked with a strike, but Symone blocked it with her wrist. She gathered energy and blasted at him.

The energy blast sent him toward a mountain. But he stopped himself with his energy. Symone appeared above him and kicked him down to the ground when he dropped his guard. His body slammed toward the ground hard.

Symone landed on the ground. Waiting for him to regain himself.

Trunks got up and looked at her, "Okay. I have to admit-- that was pretty smart."

She smirked alittle, "You dropped your guard, that's all." she said and stood in her poster.

He began to power up, and screamed out of the top of his lungs his energy.

With little effort, Symone stood her ground. Waiting for him to finish his transformation. She can tell that he was becoming Super Saiya-jin. She remembered that feeling in the pit of her stomach from anywhere.

(Flashback)

Symone couldn't wait for this moment.

The tornament was a week away. Trunks has promised Symone that he'll unleash the powers of a Super Saiya-jin within him. She waited patiently for this moment, but now the anticipation is killing her.

She entered the gravity room, where Trunks was waiting for her.

He turned to her when the door opened. He gave her alittle smile, "Just in time."

She approached him, "Are you still gonna show me?" she asked with a smile.

"Yeah, of course. It's all apart of your training."

"Yay!" she squeaked loudly, "Are you gonna turn into an ascended Super Saiya-jin?"

"We'll see." he clinged his fists tight and prepared himself, "Back away alittle. The energy may be too great for you to handle."

"Right." she obeyed and took a few steps away.

"Ready?"

She nodded with excitement.

He smiled alittle, "Here goes." he began to gather energy.

Symone stared at him.

"Are you sensing my energy? This is apart of your training." he warned her.

"Huh?!" she shut her eyes tight, "I'm trying..."

"Concentrate. Empty your thoughts of everything."

She tried his advices.

"Think about your mother's meditation sections." he told her. As he looked at her, he can tell she had some difficulties.

She felt his energy. To her it was a lot of energy.

He smirked, and began to unleash more.

After a good ten seconds, Symone opened her eyes wide in surprise, then gasp. Then she noticed a difference in her father. His body was glowing a gold color light, and his hair was standing on ends.

Trunks had his eyes shut, grunting alittle. Then startled Symone as his energy boosted quickly and a blinding flash of light and forceful wind.

Symone covered her eyes. Her stomach had a funny, almost nauseating feeling. She fell to her knees, but still had her arms over her face.

A moment later.

"Symone."

Symone put her arms down, and looked up at her father. She looked at him up and down in amazement.

She got up and began to walk forward, slowly, "Daddy? Is that you?"

He looked at her and smirked, "This is me as a Super Saiya-jin."

She studied his new looks, "Super Saiya-jin: Blonde hair; green eyes; and alittle large in frame." she started walking around him, Just as he told me.

"Impressed?" he asked her, as he let her observed his new present.

She nodded slowly, "This is what you guys looked like?"

"Yes."

After her full circle around him, she stopped in front him, "And you said it's possible for me to become a Super Saiya-jin?" she asked him.

He nodded alittle, "I don't see why not. If you work real hard for it. It's possible." he smirked, "In fact, that would make you the first female Super Saiya-jin."

She thought about it, "The first female Super Saiya-jin."

(Reality)

Symone looked at him, as he continued to summon for more power.

She stood up straighter, clinging her fists tighter, "I am going to be the first female Super Saiya-jin. I just got to have it."
