Chapter 16

Cunning vs. Brawn II

Vegeta continued to watch, "That fool. It's too soon for him to become a Super Saiya-jin. That girl is only fighting with a fraction of her power. But she still isn't as strong as him... yet. Why is she holding back? Is she just playing him?"

Trunks' screams finally grew quiet. He was now a Super Saiya-jin. He looked at Symone, with his now, aqua-green eyes, "Now let's see how you can go against another Super Saiya-jin. And don't forget-- I fight different from your father."

She smirked and stood in fighting posture, "I know. That's what makes it more interesting."

He smirked, and stood in fightng poster.

She took a step closer, then stood in fighting poster.

"One warning little girl: you should power up for this match." he told her.

"Don't worry about me."

"Hm? Well, okay. Don't say I didn't warn you." he powered up alittle, he lauched at her with a power punch.

She stood her ground, and blocked the punch with her arm, and Trunks was on the attack.

To Symone's surprise, it seemed like his speed quadrupled. As if she were to blink, he'll have the upper-hand. But while her arms were blocking his punches, he almost surprised her with a spin kick, to trip her, but she jumped to avoid it. After a second, he vanished her sight. She felt his energy and turned around, he was behind her, and he punched her straight in the jaw.

Grunting from the unexpected pain, half of her body wisted from the force, and feeling blood traveling down her chin. She slowly stopped herself from falling, then looked at him.

He stared back, "Giving up?"

She wiped it away with the back of her hand, "No." Like a rocket, she charged at him head on.

Standing his ground, he almost didn't expect a boot to the head, if it wasn't for his quick reflex, and blocking it with his wrist. She began to attack him head on. And to his surprise, even faster than before, "How did this girl get so fast?" he thought to himself, trying to keep up with her attacks, "She didn't even power up that much to get this fast. And I'm having trouble as it is."

Symone punch at him, but her fist went passed his ear. He grabbed her arm, holding it in place passed his shoulder. He smirks, as the two stands still, looking at one another, "You're even better than I anticipated."

She smirks back, "Well, you have seen nothing, yet." and before he can react, she pulled away quickly and kicked him in the jaw. Gathering energy quick, she blasted at him.

Seeing the attack coming, he dodged it and threw an energy wave of his own at her.

She gasped alittle, then held her hands out, trying to stop it, or divert it away. He began to power up more to overpower her struggle.

She began to groan struggling from his power. She smirked alittle, "Time to take it up a notch." she began to move forward as she continued to use her energy to balance the power.

Trunks slowly began to power up more, as he noticed Symone was moving closer, which was making it harder for him to succeed in the struggle.

Symone smirked, "Just as I thought." Her body tensed; her muscles tightened, and veins began to form noticeably on her arms. She opened her mouth and began to yell outloud, as the power grew.

His eyes widen, as he felt her energy growing, but the balance of the energy remained the same, "What is she up to?"

She continued to yell out, until all of a sudden, the energy wave began to decrease.

"Huh? What is this? My energy blast is... evaporating?" he continued to try enduring it much longer.

She continued with her strategy, and the energy continued to decrease. She gritted her teeth, then in the matter of seconds, the energy completely disappeared, and her body began to glow the very same color as Trunks' energy wave was.

Vegeta blinked. "She claimed his energy wave."

Trunks stared at her in shock, "What is this? It's like as if she absorded my energy."

In a blink, she knocked Trunks out of his bewildered manner, to awareness with a punch to the abdomen.

He groaned from the pain, but before the pain finished making its full course to his brain, he quickly received another to the jaw, and what it seemed like to be fifty more within two seconds. Force from the powerful blows caused destruction to the deserted site.

Symone got ready for the final blow, and punched him hard in the jaw. His head snapped to the side, with blood flying from his mouth, and his body began to fall from the sky. Falling slowly towards the ground.

Symone began to breathe hard, after the last blow, the glow from the power slowly fades away from symone's body, "Oh, man.... I haven't used that technique in a long time..." She began to go after him.

Falling closer to the ground, he landed safely on his feet. He looked up at her, as she began to slowly land.

He powered up, and charged at her, head-butting her in the forehead, and quickly attacking her head on.

Symone dodged and blocked his attack in the pattern she picked up, but slipped when his knee made contact with her stomach, then a fist to the jaw, which fazed her drastically. He backed away from her, breathing hard, staring at her, as she straightened her posture, and spat to the side.

"I can feel it that you're getting tired."

She huffed and puffed, "I'm not the only one...(puff).... You were fazed by my last attack and you know it."

"It just surprised me, that's all." knowing he was only bluffing, "Let's end this; let's put our energy into one last final blow." he powered up, "Last one standing... wins... Fair enough?"

She nodded, and summoned some more of her energy.

"She doesn't know what she's getting herself into." he smirked.
