Hi again, hope you've all had a good one. I haven't…damn exams and all…oh well. Well you now how it goes, don't own nothing…well sept for my computer and…er…I think you know what I mean. Anyway, on with the story.

Flash backs are Italics!

Oh there is a little bit of…er…gore I guess you could say but its nothing really, just thought I should give you a heads up. With that's said ENJOY!

Kabito's eyes skimmed the area, a few birds were slowly gliding through the air but that was about it. Glancing behind himself he watched as his master quickly shot off into the distance, a white aura surrounding him.

"At least he should be safe," Kabito said turning back around and scanning the area thoroughly, "now to insure his protection"

Thinking for a moment he considered what quadrant Earth would be situated in the galaxy, eventually recognizing it to be the North. Closing his eyes Kabito focused, opening his mind and trying to pick up on the correct signal.

"Hello, North Kia?"

· · ·

The sun shone brightly on King Kai's little planet, then again it was pretty much all it ever did, but he didn't really mind. His car glistened almost hypnotically as he applied yet another coating of polish to it, not that he ever drove it anywhere. But then again, did people ever drive there houses? King Kai sighed as he once again dipped his cloth into the bucket of polish, he didn't have much to do these days, ever since everyone on Earth, apart from Trunks, was killed by the androids there was no real need to be keeping a watch over it. The main reason Earth really ever attracted attention was because of the Dragon Balls or Goku, and both of them were gone now. As for the rest of the Northern quadrant, nothing ever really happened, Earth was pretty much the hot spot for all goings on. King Kai smiled as a thought popped into his head, only 984 years until the next After World Tournament would be held, then he would be able to enter Goku, Gohan and Vegeta(…that is if he could talk King Yemma into letting him leave H.I.F.L in order to participate) and watch them all completely decimate the competition. King Kai let out a little snort as he pictured West Kia's face when his group of warriors took home the cup. It had been a while since he had seen Goku and Gohan, not to mention everyone else, Tien, Yamcha and so on, they all now lived on the Grand Kia's planet and trained. Maybe he could ask them to come by his little planet and see him sometime, or maybe he could go to the Grand Kia's planet himself…

"Hello, North Kia?" A giant voice boomed in his head, startling him whilst he was in the middle of polishing the front of the car. This resulted in his hand slipping on the already smooth surface and therefore, without any support, his head smashed into the shiny red bonnet.

"Ah! Damn! Haven't you heard of a nice quiet hello!" He yelled at the unknown voice, rubbing his forehead gingerly, "Who is this anyway?"

"Excuse me for my haste North Kia, but this is a matter of great importance and I am currently running on borrowed time" the voice replied stopping for a moment. "The Supreme Kai is in great danger! We must act fast or he could die!"

King Kai's eyes shot open in shock, "Supreme Kai? You have to be kidding me! What in Kami's name is he doing on Earth?"

"My name is Kabito and the Supreme Kai and myself came here to stop Majin Buu from being revived, but it seems that Babidi has some company waiting for us…more than I can handle"

"What? What the hell is a Majin Buu? I swear if this is a prank I will so-"

"This is not a prank North Kia! Now please, this is a matter of life and death, I don't have enough time to explain right now. Now is there anyone on this planet who is strong enough to aid myself and the Supreme Kai?"

King Kai went silent for a moment trying to get a grip on the situation, "Ok fine! Yes, there are two people on Earth who should be strong enough to assist you, but right now they are …er…busy…"

"What do you mean busy? This involves the Supreme Kai's life and the survival of the very universe, surely they can afford to come help!" Kabito yelled out in rage, his eyes still closed tightly in concentration.

"Look, they are both…injured alright, it will take at least another few hours before they are able to-"

"We don't even have one! Listen I can hold this thing, but I need help or otherwise I wont stand a chance! Do you understand!"

"Ok! Ok! Trunks and Kia will be on their way…just hang on ok…" King Kai said breaking off the telepathic link, his stress already elevated. "Sometimes I really do wish that planet would just blow up!"

· · ·

"Mummy why are we hiding?" The little boy whispered to his mother as the both of them huddled under the remains of what used to be a building.

"W-we-were… just playing a g-game dear" The mother replied, a explosion quickly followed by a scream sounded in the distance.

"But I don't like this game, why cant we play something else, we always play this" the small lavender hair child pouted, his mother's grip slowly tightening around him.

"We'll play what ever you want when we get home. Ok, Trunks?" She responded, taking a quick look around the corner only to wish she hadn't at the sight of yet another explosion.

"But we already are home Mummy," the little boy whined, a look of confusion on his face.

"Yes I know dear…but we have to move to another home now ok…this one is…um…to dirty…"

"Why do we always have to move…" he muttered, "I like it here…"

"So did I…" she responded glumly, quickly covering his ears when another series of explosions began.

While his mother for some reason unbeknown to him covered his ears for the what felt like the hundredth time, he allowed his eyes to wandering around the small area in his view, eventually falling upon something on the ground.

"Mummy, what's Karen doing on the ground?"

Bulma eyes quickly darted over to what her son seemed to be looking at and her throat painfully tightened. Her best friend Karen was lying there, blood covering her body, she had probably been hit by shrapnel or something, it didn't really matter what it was…it all came down to the androids in the end.

"Mummy?" Trunks asked again, pulling at his mothers sleave.

Bulma swallowed as tears began to form in her eyes, "She's just playing a game dear"

"Oh ok…" he said quietly, "Why isn't Ken playing to?"

Wincing slightly, Bulma prayed to Kami that he had gotten away, gotten somewhere safe…not suffered the same fate that his wife had"

"He's probably busy"

It was quiet for a little longer, until Trunks, to Bulma's fear, began talking again.

"I miss Daddy…when will he be back Mummy?"

This was to much for Bulma and she completely broke down, giving into the stinging tears and kissing her son on the forehead.

"He has gone away honey, to go fight some more monsters like I used to tell you about"

That was when Trunks noticed something else out of the corner of his eye.

Bulma looked over to and almost cried out as she saw Ken slowly, but with complete determination crawl towards his wife.

Ken seemed to be crawling away from something, his body drenched in what a child would have merely thought to be paint, Trunks looked at him with confusion.

"Is Ken playing the game to Mummy?" He asked pointing to his mothers older friend.

Bulma began to quietly sob as she watched her friend slowly crawl over to Karen's unmoving form, before cradling her in his arm, tears streaming down his face. Trunks looked up at his mother, unsure what the problem was.

"Mummy why are you crying? You can go play to if you want…" He said innocently, confusion plastered on his face. This only seemed to make his mother cry more as she pushed his head into her chest in an attempt to shield him from what she was sure to follow.

He merely wriggled free with ease, unfortunately for her, being his fathers son and all he was easily stronger than her, even at such a young age.

"Honey please don't look" she begged her son, trying desperately to cover his face with her hands. But as easily as he had earlier, he just pulled them away, unaware of the strength that he possessed.

"But I want to watch them play!" He growled defiantly to his mother, "I'm going to say hello"

Bulma's eyes shot open in horror as her son opened his mouth and prepared to call out to their friends, but quickly covered it and whispered the first thing that she could think of into his ear.

"No, no, Trunks! You cant do that, they're playing a game, if you call out you will ruin it and they will be very mad. You don't want them to be mad at you do you?" She hissed into his ear as she stroked his hair through her fingers, sobs desperately trying to once again break through her forced calmness.

"But-" He began to say, before someone he didn't know walked up to both Karen and Ken. Trunks fell silent, something deep inside of him told him he had to be. His mothers hands held onto him as she silently prayed to Kami while at the same time struggling not to burst into tears.

The man who stood before both Karen and Ken didn't look to be that old, he wore a pair of long jeans with a rip on his right knee, a white long sleeved shirt with a black shirt over the top of it with what seemed to be a strange small red symbol imprinted on it and a red bandana tied around his neck. His jet black hair hung loosely down to his shoulders, while a small grin was slowly growing on his face. He stared down happily at the two who lay before him, in a similar fashion to that of a lion just after it had caught its prey.

"You humans are pathetic you know that?" The young man finally said with no emotion, despite the smile that was on his face. "Does your weaknesses know no bounds?"

Ken looked up at him, defiance in his eyes, his blood soaked blonde hair blowing slowly in front of them, a sneer slowly forming.

"How dare you call us the pathetic ones! Weak! We aren't the ones who are running around killing just for the fun of it! Look what you did to my wife! That's the difference between you and us robot! The only difference! It isn't strength, or speed, or intelligence, or anything else like that! It's our hearts, and it will be because of them that will finally lead to your downfall!" He growled, every word looking as though it was taking its toll on his already worn body.

Trunks had so many questions flowing through his mind that he wanted to ask at that moment, but he continued to remain quiet, his mothers body still shaking against his.

The man in front of his friends burst out laughing at what Ken had just said to him and he kneeled down and stared Ken directly in the eyes.

"A heart is it? He said through a toothy grin. "So what if one was to take that away? Would that make you unhuman?"

Ken's eyes widened slightly, "What do you mean" he chocked out.

The man took his eyes off Ken and instead looked at Karen who was still laying motionlessly in his arms.

"Let me give you an example shall I?" He said lifting his hand and slamming it into Karen's chest and removing something red from it.

Trunk's face went slightly pale, what kind of game were they playing, it didn't look fun at all. His mother clung onto him tightly and softly whimpered into his hair, he could feel her hot tears drop onto his head and make a small path through his hair. He could also feel tears in his eyes, but yet to know exactly why they were their.

Ken however screamed out in pain as if the deed had been don't to him instead of his wife, the man in front of him merely laughed, before throwing the red organ to the ground and stomping on it. Ken launched himself at the man before him, swinging a punch into his chest which he didn't even seem to notice, before being pushed back to the ground in a crying heap.

"So I guess that means she isn't a human anymore," the man said in the same cold voice. "You know there are morals you humans go by that state you aren't meant to marry anything that isn't human. That makes you quite a disgusting little thing doesn't it?"

Ken merely continued to cry into his wife's bleeding body as the dark haired man lifted his arm and pointed it out in front of him.

"I wouldn't normally do this, but I'm in a hurry so I suppose I will end your torment. Pity you wont see your…what would it be called now?…Thing? In the afterlife. Goodbye"

A bright golden light began to grow in the mans hand, forcing Trunks to shield his face. What was he doing? Whatever it was it wasn't nice and by the looks of it, it was going to hurt his friends. Trunks clenched his fists in anger and pushed himself away from his mother, shakily moving towards what he deemed as the mean man. His Mummy had told him what his Daddy used to do to mean people when he was still around, how he used to win no matter what. Trunks continued to stumble towards the laughing man when suddenly the golden light in the mans hands shot out and hit Ken and there was a huge explosion blowing him backwards, before the darkness consumed him he could hear a shrill female voice call out to him.

"Trunks!"

· · ·

"Trunks!"

Trunk's eyes shot open in fear as he quickly look around him, before realising it was just a dream. His heart was pounding as he slowly began to relax, but he could of sworn it was so real…" he thought to himself, "Wait a minute…wasn't that a man's voice that…"

"Trunks can you hear me?" The voice yelled again, scaring the crap out of him, once again making him think that it might not of been a dream, "Damn it Trunks calm down it's me, King Kai!"

Trunks slowly began to calm down again, a smile making it way over his annoyed face "King Kai, why are you calling, I haven't heard from you in years!"

King Kai's voice continued to remain serious though, "Trunks I'm sorry but right now is no time for chit chat, there is a big problem and I need you to get out of that thing and help"

Trunks tried to move slightly and felt his gut scream out in pain, "Er…King Kai, I'm sort of not in the best condition right now, in about three or hours I should be-"

"We don't have that long Trunks! Please, I need your help right now! Quick, wake up Kia and the two of you need to go out of their as fast as you can!"

"But what's the-" Trunks began to ask, but then he sensed it, a huge power level in the west was quickly and steadily increasing. "Ok I'm on my way" Trunks said hitting the button on his chamber, which emptied the gel like substance, quickly followed by the door opening. Upon getting out Trunks ran over and grabbed his sword from the shelf beside the Gravity Room and clipped it to his back before turning towards Kia, preparing to wake him up. That's when the second power level exploded into life, stopping him in his tracks.

Trunks licked his lips and looked down at the timer on the side of Kia's machine, "He just has an hour left…" he thought to himself.

Grimacing, he instead flew to one of the nearby window and opened it, before covering himself in a blue aura and speeding off towards the two large power levels. His body still felt soar in most parts, and he couldn't yet tell how much it would limit his full strength, but from the sounds of it he didn't have much of a choice. He shivered uncontrollably as the wind wiped against his face, thanks to the healing liquid that still covered his body

King Kai voice once again burst into his mind, "Trunks! What are you doing? What about Kia? Go back and pick him up right now!"

Trunks merely shook his head, despite the fact King Kai couldn't see him, "Can't do that King Kai, if these two are as strong as they seem then we need a back up encase I fail, and for that to work Kia needs to be at full strength, unlike me he only has an hour left…I should at least be able to hold them off for an hour…"

"Ah! For starters I'm pretty sure you only have to fight one of those two power levels, one of them …I think is on our side"

"You think?" Trunks replied cocking a brow.

"Yes…well, I'm almost positive that he is-"

"Great, that sounds real convincing" Trunks replied sarcastically.

"Shut up alright! Do you have any idea how hard it is being a Kia? I mean my head is still hurting from a few-"

"King Kai?"

"Oh-sorry. Well, a few minutes ago someone by the name of Kabito er…called… me and said that he and the Supreme Kai have come to Earth to destroy something call…Majin Buu I think it was" King Kai said, sweat slipping down his face.

"Supreme Kai? Majin Buu?"

"Ok, I'm going to explain this very briefly. You know I'm a Kia right? Well I see over the Northern Quadrant of the Universe. Now there is a Kia for each Quadrant, North, South, East and West. On top of that there is the Grand Kia, he watches over all of us and makes sure we are doing out job properly. And on top of that there is the Supreme Kai, over seer of all, he is the one who is on Earth, and obviously this …Majin Buu or what ever must therefore be incredibly important for him to come here himself.

Trunks nodded in understanding, "So in other words he must be big trouble?"

"More than likely"

"Hmh, good think I've still been training," he muttered more to himself than King Kai, " So I'm guessing one of the power levels I'm sensing isn't either Kabito or the Supreme Kai?"

"Yes, apparently he is one of somebody called, Babidi's, henchmen"

"Babidi?"

"Yeah, he has something to do with this Majin Buu character…I'm a bit sketchy on the details"

"Ok, well I'm completely confused…" Trunks muttered, rubbing his face as he increased his speed..

"Well so am I, just get over there and help the one called Kabito-"

"What a minute," Trunks cut in, "what about the Supreme Kai, if there is only two power levels where's he?"

King Kai feel silent for a moment. Trunks focused on the power levels, he was only 3 minutes away from them, he could get there sooner if he transformed into a Super Saiyan, but with his body in this condition he didn't know if he would be able to hold it for very long, and he needed all the power he could get.

Suddenly King Kai was back and in a fit of panic, "Trunks! You need to get over there now!"

· · ·

Kabito let out a sigh of relief, help would soon be on the way. Opening his eyes once more he continued to search for his soon to be attacker.

"Are you quite done yet?" He heard a rough voice ask from behind him.

Quickly spinning around, Kabito saw what he had feared the most.

A tall bulky man was floating in mid air, his clothes slightly torn and his hair blowing in the cool breeze, clutched tightly in his right hand was an unconscious Supreme Kai.

"I got here sooner, but I didn't want to interrupt your conversation. So we will be expecting guests? How nice, I have just what they need" Isaac said, a smile spreading across his face as he slowly bursting into uncontrollable laugher.
