T: Gods I fuckin' hate him!!!
B: Hate who?
T: Mom, if you really love or care about me, you will let me kill Recap.
B: Trunks, I can't. I made an invalided contract with him. We can't touch him til' the last chappie of this book, but I give you permission to hurt him until then. But right now, I need to get back to work.
T: sigh Well better get planning…Leaves. Recap in shadows.
R: Soon….very soon Trunks…you will know pain!!!!
Venux stared at the blue prints for the time machine. Every equation, every detail, every design of the machine merely made any sense to her, but at the same time, it fascinated her to no limit. She watched as Trunks put every piece and bit into place. "Then we add the nuclear core to the engine's battery. This will jumpstart it to give to rip of the time and space portal. Also you want to take the energy fuel and add it too…" "Trunks, how is this all possible? How are you doing all of this?" interrupted Venux as she was bewildered to how he even had this information.
Trunks looked up at her from his work. Venux was giving him confused looks. "To be honest, I really don't know. It just came to me. All I know is the plan is in my head and all I know is how it works. Venux this will work. Do you know what this will mean?" He asked. Venux shook her head no. A big smile crossed his features and his eyes beamed excitement.
"It means we are gonna be free. That we will go into the past and make the future right." "Trunks, are you really sure about all of this? What if we are wrong? What if we get caught?" "Venux, we have to try. We can't fail. The power of good Is on our side. Please, you have to help me. We have to do this together. Wouldn't you give anything and everything to be free again? What if you could see your father again? Isn't that worth it?"
Pain flashed for the briefest of a second in Venux's eyes. This was a chance, a risk, they both knew they would have to take. Chances never appear in a lifetime such as this. They had a window, a faint flicker of light at the end of the dark tunnel. Things could be right again. Venux nodded her head yes. "Yes, this is a risk we must take." Trunks' smile widened. "Good. Now pay attention because I'm goin to be the one to distract Frieza. But you have to be the one to make most of this. I will help you as much as I can." Venux nodded in understandment, as they continued on with the plans.
3 Days Later!
Trunks had healed rather quickly. He had to if he wanted to keep the time machine a secret. A lot of his hopes and dreams were riding on this one project. If he should fail or even mess up, it would mean the worst kind of torture that would lead to a very horrible death. So if he was on his guard before, he would have to triple it. He couldn't even let the faintest mishap happen.
As for Venux, she worked day in and day out on the time machine. Trunks would help her, despite the beating and scars on his young, handsome body. And within a short amount of time, it looked almost ready. There were a few bugs to work out, but for the most part they could leave. Venux was under the time machine working on a few wires and checking the fuel and oil as Trunks was setting up the control system inside. They did make a pretty good team.
Even if it was 11:30 at night and Trunks was pretty much dead tired from a day of missions and being Freiza's "Sick plaything." He knew that they were so close to being done. He was so close. Too close to give up now. He had to spend any and every free bit of time on this. And just as he finished up the system and machine was more than ready to go on their journey, a beeping from Trunks' watch signaled to him that Frieza required him immediately. Venux got out from under the ship and looked at Trunks terrified. Trunks kept his cool and turned off the beeping sound. "Venux, no matter what happens, hurry and continue on without me. It will be fine. I will return shortly. We will leave tonight." Venux nodded and Trunks got down from the ship. He had something up his sleeve that not even Venux knew about. He had it hid from everyone, only using it if they found out they had a chance out of slavery.
He walked down the hallways he had known his entire life. For little did everyone on the ship know that this would be the last time they would see the Prince and his "slave" ever again after tonight. Trunks did not pay attention to those who glared at him on the way to the lion's den. Once again he found himself outside the elegant outside looking doors once more. He didn't hesitate to open them as he entered. Frieza sat in his throne as Captain Gyniu, Zarbon, and Dedoria surrounded him.
Trunks came to the steps that lead to the throne and bowed on the red carpet. "You have summoned me Master Frieza?" he asked not looking up from the floor. Frieza had a look of a mix of anger, hate, and pure rage. But his voice was calm with the hint of anger. "How dare you come in here!!! How dare you show your ugly hybrid face here when you were building a time machine and planning to over throw me!!! You ungrateful hybrid!! I took you in and gave you the best training! I made you the highest rank for a slave and I favor you and let you get away with so many subornation's that not even my high trained elites get!!! How dare you!!!!" he hissed.
Trunks didn't look up, nor did he know what to say. He was calm and cold like a rock, but inside he was panicking. How did Frieza find out?!!? Their plans were ruined and him, along with Venux, would pay the ultimate price. How could he have been sooo stupid! He should have never dragged her into this. "Well hybrid, we did tell you that your time is up." sneered Zarbon. "Master Frieza, may we now have your permission to destroy him?" asked Dedoria almost too anxious to get his hands on the demi-Saiyan.
"Yes, but let me have my way with him first. You should be honored Hybrid." claimed Frieza as he stood from his seat and sneered down at Trunks in a mocking tone of voice that escaped his throat. "I will do away with you as I have done with that stupid bitch of a Mother as she held you protectively in her arms. Such a fool she was to think she could protect you from me and live to tell about it." he mocked sarcastically. Trunks' eyes snapped up at Frieza with such blue fire in a glare that made all 3 of the fellow authorities step back. Trunks stood and drew his sword and pointed it at Frieza as he met his gaze. "Don't even think about it! Frieza, your nightmare will end today!" "How dare you defy me!!!" "NO FRIEZA! How dare you steal my life away from me!!! How dare you try and hurt me in any way possible!! Frieza you stole my childhood and I will steal your life!!! It ends today Frieza!" A chuckle came from the might tyrant.
"I am not worried. You can not beat me, much less destroy me." Frieza smiled cruelly with a confident look plastered on his features. A sadistic smile played on his lips. He continued to walk his way down the red carpet stairs to our lavender haired hero. Trunks' glare increased as his brow furrowed more as he began to charge up at Frieza. The next thing anyone knew was there was a flash of gold, a blood curling scream, and Frieza was dead on the floor…in pieces.. Trunks had his back to the 3 witnesses in the room. His hair stood on end in a golden shade as it replaced his lavender locks. Electrical forces crackled around him with power and heavy tension blanketed over the eerie silence. Trunks turned to the other 3 and showed a deep fire of sea green in his eyes as he was covered in Frieza's blood. He had a sadistic look on his face and he licked his lips as he took a step forward.
"So, who's next?" he asked. His voice, a deep and full of adrenaline rush of excitement as hot Saiyan blood of power course through his veins. It had been forever since he engaged in a battle such as this and he had to admit, it felt pretty damn good to say the least. "Wha-What are you?!?!?!" asked Zarbon, who had over come the shock first and all 3 were backed against the wall.
"Glad you asked that." smirked Trunks, the same smirk that belonged to none other that Prince Vegeta himself, his father. If the Prince could see his son now, he would be so proud. "I am Frieza's worst dream come true. I am the reason he destroyed my family, my friends, and my people. I am what he has feared and been running from the most. I am a Super Saiyan." The 3 who were backed against the wall gasped at this new information. "NO! Your lying!!!" cried out Dedoria. Trunks stood in front of them with his sword still drawn. "Believe what you want to. And if your so sure of yourself, then you won't mind being the first to die. So come on then. Fight me." glared Trunks amused.
Fire burned deep within him. He had been waiting for this day for a long, long time. "Well, I'm not afraid of him! He ain't that tough." smirked Gyniu. "Oh? You seem so sure of yourself. Well come on then, I won't hurt you…much." Gyniu growled at Trunks' comment and powered up as he lunged at Trunks, or at least what he thought was Trunks. He hit the ground and the next thing he knew was that there was a sword embedded in his back as it was being drove into his heart.
Trunks drove his sword as far as he could and then made a 360 turn as he swiftly drew it from the back and blood squirted everywhere. It sprayed to his fellow companions and Trunks drenched in it. Then he swiped his sword away as the extra blood and gore his the ground with a "spat" and the Gyniu's organ laid beside him lifelessly. Trunks, in turn, smiled at the other two.
"So, who is next?" he asked. "WHY YOU DIRTY, NO GOOD HYBRID!!!! I WILL…AHH!!!" cried an enraged Dedoria as he found himself being pinned by the throat and tightened his hold age around Dedoria's neck. He took his sword and held it to Dedoria's neck as well. "Now, let's make this pleasant and smile for me." Trunks smirked as he slit Dedoria's throat and threw him on the ground. Zarbon stared at Trunks as he turned tail and ran for his life.
Trunks matirized in front of Zarbon as Zarbon hit him and fell on his ass. Trunks stared down at him with cold, lifeless eyes. "Running out on your loyal friends, eh Zarbon?" he mocked. "T-Trunks, It's not what you think!! P-please s-spare my l-life!!!" begged Zarbon. "Why should I?! Give me one good reason why I should?!" he cried as he pointed his sword at Zarbon's chest. 'Be-Because…have mercy!!!"
"Why should I show you and give you something you have denied me and my Mother!!! Why should I give you mercy, when all you have done is mock me and hurt me my entire life!!! You took everything away from me!! Took away my life and now you will pay for it! Say Hi to Frieza and your comrades when you see them again!" Trunks put away his sword and put his hands together in front of him as a huge bright light omitted from his palms. Then Trunks said the two words that would be burned into Zarbon's mind for the rest of eternity. "Burning Attack." All Zarbon knew was that a huge golden light was heading for him and now he was standing in line to see King Yamma.
Trunks powered down and returned to his normal state. He turned from his bloody mess and began to walk out the door. He opened the elegant looking doors and shut them behind him. As he mad his way back to his chambers, everyone backed away from him. All knowing what he had done. Trunks felt all eyes accusing him as he once again made his way back to his chambers. But this time, it was our of fear…and perhaps respect? He knew what he had done by killing the evil tyrant and his evil minions.
He knew that the moment Frieza's death had been fully realized, everyone would be free…but who would they turn to? ("It is for them to decide. I'm done with this time. I am going home.") he thought as he found himself outside his quarters. But then he felt the feeling to turn around and when he did, practically everyone on the ship all stared and gazed upon him. "What do you all want?" he asked as the uncomfortable silence blanketed over both him and the crowd of people.
He half expected to see scorn and hatred in their eyes as he had seen everyday of his hellish life. But not this time. These were eyes full of worry, concern, and fear. Then a voice of a small little girl stepped forward. Her name was Karara. She was a small little orphan and no more than 5 years old. She had known Trunks her entire life. He found her on one of his missions that Frieza had sent him on. She was only but a mere newborn and Trunks took her in and began along with Venux to raise her as one of his own. But unfortunaly for them all, Frieza found out and made him give her to the ship's orphanage and Trunks would visit her everyday and take care of her in his spare time…well almost for the most part. He would bring her everything she would need, food, clothing, everything a little girl could hope for.
She was such a pretty girl. She almost looked Earthling, only she had pure yellow cat slitted eyes that beamed with life, only now they were wide with confusion and fear. She had flowing white hair and she had such a small frame, but slowly being built by the training she undergoes at the orphanage. She wore a simple white dress with her hair up in 2 little small buns atop of her head and held by two red ribbons. But she was the one to step forward and ask in a small voice, "Papa Twunks….what do we do now?" Trunks let a small smile cross his features and sighed in spite of himself.
He bent down to eye level with the little girl and took her hand and gave her a warm look as she let a small smile escape her lips as he stood once more and faced the frighten crowd. "Listen up, all of you. I have killed Frieza and his trusted men. You are all free to go. Go and live the rest of your lives in peace, but do not forget the torture, the tears, and the pain everyone of you all endured. Enjoy what you have left of Frieza's empire. Your thanks is appreciated. Now go and live the life you all know and have been praying to receive. But also tell the universe that Frieza's empire is no more and free all those who can not speak or stand for themselves. We are all free…"
Trunks turned his back and headed inside with the small girl still in his hand. As soon as the door closed, a huge explosion of happiness rang outside of Trunks' quarters. But Trunks had no time for this. He needed to clean up and he needed to leave. It was all ready late into the night. Upon hearing the door open, Venux rushed out of the labs to see Trunks covered in blood and Karara by his side. "Mommy Venux!!!!" the little girl squealed as she ran up to Venux as she jumped into Venux's arms.
Venux adored Karara and it broke her heart that they had to give her to the ship's orphanage on Freiza's orders when he found out. But that did not stop Venux from being an almost or more so like a mother to Karara. Venux hugged her and looked at Trunks. "Kami Trunks! What happened?!" she demanded in a concerned tone of voice as worry was evident on her features. "Well…you see hon…" he tried to explain but it came out nervously. He tried to find a way to explain it but Karara beat him to the punch. "Papa Twunks beat up that bad lizard man and his mean friends!!!" she said rather proudly. Venux stared at Trunks shocked.
"Trunks is this true?" All Trunks could do was laugh nervously and put a hand behind his head and only smile. "Trunks…what are we gonna do?" "We are going to leave and we are taking Karara with us." he replied in a serious voice as he looked at Venux with those eyes of his that always made her say yes no matter what the case. He knew she could not resist. "Mommy Venux, where are we going?" asked the curious 5 year old. Venux smiled warmly at her as she got down on eye level with the child. "Karara, how would you like to go on a long, fun trip with me and Papa Trunks?" she asked. A wonderful, bright smile appeared on Karara's face. "Yes Mommy Venux!" she cried as she once again hugged Venux.
Venux looked at Trunks over Karara's shoulder and he returned it with a warm smile as he mouthed a "Thank You" to her as well. Venux picked up Karara. "Well Papa Trunks is gonna get a shower and we are gonna go pack, okay?" asked Venux as she gave a wink to Trunks. Venux without waiting for the little girl's response she began to head for the bedroom. Trunks stood there and let out a chuckle. He was free and he had a family now. ("Well I'd say that earns me a shower and a drink.") he thought proudly to himself and began to head for the bathroom.
2 Hours Later!
It was indeed very late. About 2 in the morning to be exact. Poor, little, worn out Karara had fallen asleep as Trunks and Venux finished the preparations. When the last article of necessity was in the time machine/ship, Trunks sighed to himself as he notice how tired Venux was. She was hunched over in her chair as the small child laid asleep in her lap.
A smile spread across his face as he set his wrench down. Funny how so many times his Mother would be working like this…when she was alive. Trunks got up off the ground and headed over to the sleeping couple. He gently pulled them into his embrace. Then he headed to the bedroom. No sense in going to the past if they were half dead from the exhaustion. He decided that they would leave first thing in the morning. It has indeed been a long, long night.
Morning!
Karara opened her beautiful yellow eyes and gazed at the sleeping faces of Trunks and Venux. A big smile was plastered on her face as she snuggled between the two and watched them both sleep. She also took one hand of each and combined them together. She had known these two her entire life. These were her parents by blood or not, she loved them because they were her family.
But also by this move, this stirred Trunks out of his sleep. He opened on sleepy eye and peered at the trying to be silent 5 year old. "Morning. Did you sleep good?" he whispered to her. Karara looked at Trunks and smiled as she shook her head yes. "Are you hungry?" "Yes." Trunks sat up and cracked his back and then leaned against the pillows.
"Come on, we will let Mommy Venux sleep a bit more and we will make breakfest." "Kay!" Then in an unexpected move, Trunks picked her up and put her on his shoulders as he made his way to the kitchen. He sat her down in a chair and gave her a wink. "How does French Toast sound?" "What is that?" she asked curiously.
"You will see" he replied smiling. Then he pulled out the pots and pans and he let her help him make the breakfest. Soon the entire kitchen smelled of wonderful, delicious, yummy French Toast. The aroma made it's way to the bedroom as the smell stirred Venux out of her sleep. She opened her eyes and glance around the room and notice she was sleeping in an empty bed. But wait? Were they supposed to have left last night into the past? She hopped out of bed and slowly moved to the kitchen where Trunks and Karara had their backs to her. Karara was laughing and having so much fun as Trunks showed her how to flip French Toast. "Morning." she said warmly at the scene that played out before her.
They both turned around and smiled at Venux as Karara ran up and gave her a hug. "Mommy Venux! We made you breakfest!!!" she cried as her face was aglow from excitement. "You did! Well then I guess I am gonna havta eat it." "You have to guess?" asked Trunks with an eyebrow raised as he handed her a plate full of French Toast. "No but I will love eating it." she replied smiling. And so they all sat down and ate and have come to the conclusion that they would get cleaned up and leave.
Past!
A yellow ship busted forth from a vibrant and mystical colors as a flash of light lit up the black abyss of the darkness of space. Karara sat on Venux's lap as Trunks began to find the coordinates of Earth. They were not that far off. About 5 thousand light years away. "Well guys hold on. We will be there in 6 hours. " He announced as he looked at his watch. He set the ship in auto pilot and leaned back in his seat. "Papa Twunks, I'm bored." complained Karara. "Why not take a nap?" suggested Venux. "But I am not tired!" Trunks sighed and reached in his left pocket and pulled out his latest invention. It was the newest Gameboy and handed it to the short attention span child.
"Here, you can play with that." he said handing it to her. Her eyes grew wide with surprise. "Thank you Papa Twunks." as she took the game and began to play with it. Trunks and Venux took this as a time to take a nap and they did.
Later!
Trunks didn't know what happened. The ship was rocking violently and a loud beeping sound signaled that something was firing at the ship. Karara was crying in Venux's arms as Venux's screams woke him up. Trunks shot up.
He found that they were being surrounded by at least 20 fleets of war ships. "Trunks get us out of here!!" cried Venux as she tried to calm the upset child in her arms. "What's going on?!" demanded trunks as he tried to get the ship under control and then he looked at his map and came to a horror that they were off course of their destinations, about 30 million light years. Now they seemed to have found themselves in enemy territory.
Trunks immediately got on the communication device. "We mean you no harm!! Please let us pass! There is a female and child on board! We have no weapons. We are neutral!" he cried. A burley and official responded to his call. "Unlock your shields and prepare to bored out ship. That is an order." "We mean no harm! Please do not do this!" "Prepare to bored out ship."
Trunks tried to respond, but he felt the ship jerk and they were being pulled into the bigger ship. "Mommy Venux I'm scared!!" cried the frightened child." "It's gonna be okay. Me and Papa Trunks won't let anything happen to you." she said trying to reassure her but the child just gripped onto her more. Trunks found himself putting on his sword and they landed to what appeared to be the landing dock for ships. The doors shut behind them and from what Trunks could see out the window, there was a giant fleet ready to greet them.
The hatch of their ship was pulled opened and 5 weird, yellow aliens with 3 eyes and clawed hands about 6 feet tall each reached in and grabbed the trio and dragged them out and then threw them on their knees in front of their ship. Venux held onto the frightened child as Trunks held onto them both. Then a powerful alien with blue armor over his toned body and looked down upon them with an enraged scowl plastered on his face.
"Who are you and what do you want with us?" demanded Trunks in a calm voice as he stood and faced the man as an equal. "I am Shanobu and I am the king of the Torusians. There is a price for your head hybrid. A very big price." he stated.
"What makes you think I am going to let you get away with any of this?" "Because, we will blow up the Planet Earth and have our way with your female and child." he sneered cruelly. "How do you know any of this!" cried Venux. "You will find out soon enough. Take them away."
