Chapter 6: Alien technology.


"I think you're taking this a little too seriously." She said to Trunks who continued to glare at her. He was not going to let her win this match. If this was the last one he ever fought than he would be victorious. Xeexru watched as he sheathed his sword, and her wide grin suddenly turned serious. "Let's finish this then."

This time Trunks was the first one to attack, their close proximity limiting her reaction time. His punch hit her hard in the jaw and she was thrown back, but she stopped her descent quickly enough so that only a few metres separated the two. She watched as his image became fuzzy and disappear, he was moving too fast, she couldn't see him, but she prepared herself for his attack. It came quickly, she could sense his energy right behind her, and spun in an effort to see her attacker. All she saw was the fading image of him with a confident smirk on his face. She spun again, sensing his energy everywhere. He was moving too fast, but she soon came to realize that he was moving uniformly, in a pattern, forming a circle around her. She swung her leg out and was rewarded when she hit something solid. Trunks grunted, having been hit hard in the side, and wavered in the air. He looked up to see Xeexru phase out, the next thing he knew, pain shot through his head and straight down his spine. He hit the ground hard, leaving a reasonable sized crater. But his opponent wasn't too far behind, she appeared floating only a few feet in front of him, and raised her had. His eyes widened as the blinding white energy made its way towards him in slow motion. His instincts took over and challenged her attack with one of his own. Their close proximity caused the two attacks to seemingly get pancaked against each other, spreading wide. The onslaught lasted for nearly a minute, until Trunks increased his power and overwhelmed her. As she was thrown back, she could feel the foreign energy burn her skin lightly. Xeexru scowled and increased her energy level, forming a ki shield around herself, protecting her from Trunks' attack until it passed.

As he floated up, Trunks' eyes quickly adjusted back to the darkness of the night. The golden aura that surrounded his body fended off the rain that had continued to fall. He could see her several metres away, hovering calmly, her aura was not present, and the torrential rains soaked her golden hair and her clothes. She was trying not to show the fact that she was breathing hard, but he caught notice anyways, a smirk slowly sliding across his handsome face.

"You know you could always surrender, it's obvious that I'm going to win this." Xeexru's eyes widened in rage, and he could sense her power level rising. In a flash he was on the ground, pinned on his back. Her hand held a strong grip around his neck, holding him down, while her taloned fingers were poised just inches from his eyes. The smirk had long since disappeared off his face, and he looked at her warily.

"I surrender to no one!" Her rage had overwhelmed her, causing her to become irrational. "If you ever say that again, I will personally see to it that you never regain your sight again." She hissed angrily. He was grateful when she released her grip on his neck and pulled back. He stood, rubbing his sore neck lightly, whereas Xeexru glared furiously at him a from few feet away.

He had not been ready when a punch landed itself squarely in his stomach, nor when a kick hit him to the ground. As he tried to get up, another kick hit him hard in the side, and he flew through the air. He landed next to a river, almost falling in. He was able to get up on his second attempt, and charged at his opponent, and once again the only thing seen was a series of blurs, darting all over the field and across the flowing river.

Crashing two joined hands over her head, Trunks watched as she fell and splashed into the water at an amazing speed. He watched the waters surface, anticipating her rise, but it did not come. His eyes darted to the shore line but there was no sight of her, she still had to be underwater. Meanwhile, Xeexru fought the urge to swim to the surface, instead she exhaled, then inhaled water. She grimaced as a burning pain shot through her lungs, but continued to inhale the liquid. Soon the pain had subsided and she exhaled, then inhaled the water again, breathing it as if it were air.

Trunks became concerned after a few minutes had passed, and still there was no sign of the young saya-jin. Slowly he descended to the water's surface, and struggling to see through the liquid in the dark of the night. This was not aided by the rain that had continued to fall, the ripples contorting the surface, making it nearly impossible to see in. He continued to float above the surface for a few more seconds, when his body was suddenly enveloped in the cold water. He had lingered too long above the surface leaving himself vulnerable to any attack, and attack she did. While he had his back turned, Xeexru had launched herself from the water, grabbing his legs, and pulled him down into the cold, wet realm.

He opened his eyes, only to see a fist flying through the water, and hit him hard. He doubled over, and his lungs burned for new air. He frowned as he pushed himself to the surface, she had the advantage underwater, he had realized that quickly. He gasped, taking in as much air as he could, then tried to float out of the water, but as he had expected, she pulled him down again.

Trunks struggled to fight her back, but he was slowed by the water. She continued to hit him as he tried to defend himself. With a hard kick to the stomach, Trunks found himself pushed through the water then into the air. He was immensely grateful when his body crashed into the ground, he was back on familiar terrain. Xeexru followed him and landed gracefully on her feet at the water's edge, watching him as he stood. He could see the struggle in her eyes, then her body slowly began to tremble. Her eyes clenched shut as she tried to control herself, but her effort was futile and she doubled over.

Trunks grimaced as she coughed up the water from her lungs, and it splashed on the rain soaked ground. She continued to cough as the remainder of the water left her body, and soon she took in few trembling breaths of the night air. Having regained her ability to breathe in the atmosphere, she stood up straight, ready for battle again.


His body had been weakened by the blows he had received underwater, and he was beginning to doubt his success in the sparring match. He looked to the horizon and saw the glow from the rising sun, and the end of the rain clouds. He frowned, they would have to finish this soon, or else he would be forced to forfeit, he had to be back on time to take his trip back to the future. With a loud cry, he allowed his energy to reach its maximum, knowing that his opponents' level was lower that his. Xeexru's eyes widened as his power level continued to rise, it was obvious now that her chances of victory were dropping as fast as his power was rising.

"Oh shit." She muttered as golden light illuminated the field. Trunks' green eyes locked with hers, and the confident smirk had returned to his face. One hand raised and he released his energy in her direction. "Oh shit!!!!" She cried as the beam made its way toward her at an astonishing speed. In her defence, she raised her hands and caught the beam, her feet digging into the soil as she was forced back. Trunks pushed his energy higher, and unleashed it upon her.

She found herself overwhelmed, as she was thrown back like a doll. Searing pain hit her as she crashed through trees at a phenomenal speed. When she had finally stopped, her back was pressed against a large oak tree, and slowly she slid down its trunk to the ground, her hair fading back to her natural grey colour. She grimaced at her defeat, her head pressed back against the tree. She stayed there until she heard the snapping of twigs, she looked up to see Trunks landing in front of her, his hair back to its light purple. He bent down, offering her his hand, but she refused to take it and pushed her self up. It was the first time he realized that she was nearly the exact same height as him, and she looked him squarely in the eye. She stared at him for a few seconds, before she smirked.

"Well done, besides Cell, you're the first person to have ever defeated me." Her feet lifted off the ground, and she flew around the braches of the trees, and into the night sky. Trunks followed suit, and soon they were flying side by side, back to Capsule Corp.

Trunks turned to face her, and popped a question. "How did you survive under the water for that long?" Keeping her gaze straight ahead, she replied to his question.

"Before I left Tomakacara, I had Atomospheric Adapters injected into by blood stream. They allow me to breathe in virtually any environment, including liquid atmospheres." Trunks looked as though he understood, but frankly he had no clue what she was talking about. Obviously she could tell that he was confused, and continued her explanation. "When introduced to a new atmosphere, they automatically alter the type of gas that my red blood cells carry, along with my muscles, and eventually they begin to respond as if I were really breathing oxygen." He understood now, more or less.

They continued to fly in silence, and the lights from Hercule City appeared in the horizon. As they flew over head, they could see a few cars already on the road before the early morning rush. The lights glinted off an object in the corner of his eye, and he turned to see what it was. Xeexrus metallic arm easily reflected the lights from the city, much like his sword would, had it not been sheathed on his back.


"How exactly did you come to have that?" He asked motioning to her arm. She followed his eyes to her arm, and smirked.

"Not only are the Tomakas great sparring partners, but they also have very sharp teeth."


::Flashback::


An eleven year old Xeexru skill fully dodged a slice from a black clawed hand, and glared up at her opponent. He stood at dizzying height of twelve feet, his black exoskeleton glimmering in the poor light.

"Come on saya-jin, you know you can't win, why don't you give up while you still can." He said in his native tongue, which resembled much like a series of growls. He attacked swiftly, his challenger unable to dodge his attack, and she was thrown back and smashed into a wall.
"Bite me." She hissed wiping the blood away from her mouth.

"Very well." Her eyes widened as she realized her own mistake, and took to the air to escape him. He was unable to smile, due to the inelasticity of his exoskeleton, but she could see the evil glimmer in his eyes as he unfolded his dark wings that lay on his back. With only three tremendous flaps, he was eye level with her, and snapped his teeth together in a teasing fashion. His long neck lurched forward, and he teeth snapped again, but came up empty. His head snapped forward again, and once again his teeth did not land on anything. Slowly she was being backed up into a wall as he continued to flap closer to her. Just before her back hit the wall, he lurched forward, and this time she had not been fast enough, and his teeth sank into her right arm. Her eyes were wide with fear and pain as the bottom half of her limb was torn from the remainder, and blood spilled down to the floor thirty feet away. She began to descend as she became light headed, the lack of blood taking its toll. The monster watched from above, blood smeared across his black face, and observed as her eyes rolled back in her head, and she lost consciousness. He folded his wings back against his body, and fell. A loud thump sounded throughout the large training hall as his feet hit the floor. He bent down and picked up the child gently.

"Maybe this will teach you to watch your tongue saya-jin." He murmured as he walked out of the hall towards the medical deck.


::End Flashback::


Xeexru couldn't help but grin at Trunks look of disgust.

"He ate your arm??" He stammered.


"Yes." She didn't appear to be bothered by this at all. "He taught me a valuable lesson, and for that I thanked him." They continued to fly on, and eventually made it back to Capsule Corp.


::Four hours later::


Trunks was saying goodbyes, his time machine sitting patiently. As he made his way around to all of his new friends, they all wished him well, and good luck. Xeexru was waiting patiently, she had agreed the night before to bring her ship for Bulma to study, and she would do so after Trunks left. When he finally reached her, neither said a word, instead she raised her metallic hand, offering a hand shake. Trunks hesitated, but slowly placed his hand in hers. He was a bit unsteady, and she smirked as her sharp fingers curled around his hand, and she shook it gently. Her face suddenly grew serious as she spoke to him.

"Don't make the same mistake I did." Trunks just nodded lightly, and released her hand. He hopped into his time machine, and waved to his family and friends as it slowly ascended, and with a flash he disappeared. They all seemed to stand there, staring at the air, where Trunks had been just moments before, well, all except for Vegeta and Xeexru. Vegeta went back to his gravity machine, eager to continue his training, whereas Xeexru walked over next to Bulma.

"Do you want me to get my ship now?" Bulmas eyes lit up as she remembered their agreement the night before, and nodded happily. "Give me half an hour, we'll be back by then." A white aura flew around her body, and she shot off into the blue sky.

Bulma frowned in confusion, Did she just say "we"?


She had been flying for only five minutes, when she landed her feet in a large, open field. In the middle of the field lay a ship of an unimaginable scale, 100 metres in length, 25 wide, and it stood nearly 50 tall. Calmly she approached the ship.

"Sularon!!! Open up!!" She yelled out to the ship. Along the starboard side, a hatch opened, and lowered a platform to the ground. As soon as she stepped onto the platform, it began to rise again. Once she had stepped off, and into the ship, the hatch closed.

"Well it's about time you got back!! I was beginning to get concerned, I thought you might have forgot about me!!!!" The annoyed voice ran over the Com system as Xeexru walked down the hall.

"You know I can't forget about you, Sularon. I had to make sure that no one found you, which isn't that hard you know, considering that you take up as much room as an Eartigan Cono Sloth." She said amused.


"I resent that." He said, annoyed.

"Get the bridge ready, we're going on a trip."

"Ooooo, a trip!!! Where?" His childish tone made her roll her eyes.

"Capsule Corp. You'll get to meet some new people."

"That doesn't sound very exciting, how come we're going there?"

"Because this is going to be our new home." She said solemnly.

Sularons tone became serious as he spoke, "You found him didn't you?"

"I found out who killed him." There was a sigh that echoed across the com system as Xeexru walked through an open door and into the vast bridge. A large chair rolled back, fastened to the floor by a track, before it stopped, she had hopped into it, and immediately it began to roll forward again. She sat in front of a panel of what seemed to be a million buttons. With extreme speed and precision, she punched in a few selected buttons, and they glowed. There was a low rumble deep within the vessel, and slowly they lifted off the ground. She sat back and allowed the ship to take its course.

"Sularon, change all read outs to English, including voice control." There was a confirmation beep.

"System preferences changed, all read outs now projected and spoken in English, Earth version." His voice had seemed somewhat automated that time, but that was to be expected.

"There's another version of English?" Xeexru asked, intrigued.

"Yep, the planet Marcontofar also has a language pronounced English, but the two have nothing else in common."

Only a few minutes later, the large feet that lined the bottom of the great ship extended, and touched the ground. Bulma was standing waiting for them, her jaw was dropped open wide at the sheer size of the vessel. She swallowed as she realized that it wouldn't fit in any of her current hangers, she would have to build a new one. She watched as a small hatch opened along the side, and Xeexru jumped out and landed on the ground next to her.

"Th..th.. That's your ship??!!?? It's huge!!!!" She had barely managed to stammer that.

"Yes, this is Sularon, my ship and companion." She gazed up at the tremendous vessel.

"It has a name?"


"Yes, and a personality. All the Tomakas ships are programmed with artificial intelligence, but Sularon was the largest ever built."

"I'm sure they have built more ships much larger and far more advanced than me since then." Bulma nearly fainted when masculine voice erupted from the ship.

"Lower the pad, she's coming aboard." She ordered, and he immediately obeyed. The same platform that Xeexru had used earlier descended to the ground and they both boarded it. Only a few seconds later, the two stepped off and entered the great, talking ship. Bulma was going to have a lot of fun with Sularon.



Poor Sularon, oh well. Anyways that's the end of this chapter, I hope you liked it, it's really long. In the next chapter, Xeexru takes bulma on a tour of Sularon, and learns about the alien technology. No_name_writer
