Trunks POV
A deafening sound of whining and wind pounded my ears as my body felt as if was going to torn apart. Undistinguishable colors flew by me and I tried to keep myself from passing out. Suddenly the colors faded out and my sight was drowning in darkness. My body stiffened and my feet touched solid ground. As my eyes adjusted I was surprised to realize that this new universe was almost identical to mine. The people looked the same. I gazed at this alien universe from inside the ally way that we had appeared in. I turned to see Vegeta emerge through the portal looking confused and as always, pissed off. Goku and Gohan came through almost simultaneously and Gohan looked close to tears, I couldn't say I blamed him. We continue together through a street crowded with people.
"So where do we find this warrior?" Vegeta said curtly, obviously still recovering from the rough trip.
"Well I'm not really sure but I…." Goku paused, and I knew exactly why. He had sensed it too. A person with great power levels was a few miles away. That must be the man that would help us defeat the androids.
"Let's go" I said and we continued on.
Makoto POV
Once again the chatter of teenage girls wore on my patience. Distractedly, I looked at the past the other students at the school and to the streets filled with commuters and business men. I decided to at least to try to be my usual self and participate in the mindless gossip that had been the routine, but my eyes met a group of men standing near the school. One man had hair that seemed to defy gravity and shot straight towards the sky. He had menacing glare that seemed permanently displayed on his sharp features. The man next to him was a complete contrast to the man with the permanent glare.
He had a goofy smile and was taking in his surroundings with a childish curiosity. He had hair just as wild as the first man, his hair shot in all different directions as if a bomb had gone off on his head. Standing close next to him was a boy of about 12 with the same grin and same wild hair, this boy must've been the man with the goofy grin's son.
The last man standing behind all the others was wearing a black tank top and black baggy pants. He had short lilac hair and had a very serious expression on his face. My gaze lingered on him for a while. After I noticed I had been staring for quite a while, Minako followed my gaze and exclaimed,
"Those guys are hot! We should go say hi!" I was apprehensive but felt extremely drawn to these men for some reason. They seemed familiar and non-threatening despite the man with the hair that looked like fire. "Sure…" I said absentmindedly, focusing on the surprising feeling of emotional uproar I felt by just being in these men's presence. The rest of the senshi rose from the table we were sitting at as I became more and more lost in my thoughts. "Are you coming or what?" Rei turned around and ushered me towards the gates of the school.
"Yeah, of course." I shakily stood and made my way towards to the group of men.
Trunks POV
"We better find him fast because I don't intend to spend the whole day looking for some warrior that we probably won't even need anyways." Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and looked around impatiently, "I can sense the power source but I can't determine where exactly it is coming from." A group of girls were walking towards us, "who're they?" then we all froze once again as we noticed the power level of the one with the brown wavy hair in a pony tail.
"The warrior's a girl!" Gohan said to Goku
"I noticed." Goku said laughing, "Well we might as well say hi" but by the time Goku made this suggestion the girls were already standing before us, introducing themselves.
"Hi I'm Minako" a girl with a long sheet of blonde hair and blue eyes boldly stepped forward. "You guys look lost, are you tourists or something?"
"Yes! How'd you know!" Goku expectedly being the most friendly and the only one to verbally acknowledge the blonde named 'Minako'. "I'm Goku, this is my son Gohan." Gohan waved with a smile. "That's Vegeta," he motioned towards my future father and lowered his voice, "He's not much of a people person" Vegeta turned his head and snorted in disgust, "and this is Trunks" I barely flinched and merely nodded.
My eyes were focused on the girl with the brown hair. She had to be stronger than she looked because to me she looked like just a mere girl and nothing more, but something in her eyes were familiar and told me that she would be more than enough to help us. Her friend began her introductions, just as Goku had. I listened intently and waited for the introduction of the girl with the emerald eyes, and the potential savior of my universe.
Makoto POV
I began to notice that all of the men's stares except for Goku were focused on me. I stood confused and intrigued. "This is Ami, Usagi, Rei, and Makoto." Minako's voice slowed as she approached my introduction as she noticed that the men were all staring at me. Usagi nudged me, she obviously thought that they were checking me out, but I knew better. Their gazes all seemed to be measuring me up as if asking if I was good enough. I stared at the floor, unable to move.
The one named Trunks made me specifically more nervous than the others and I wasn't really sure why….I had spaced out in the past couple of minutes of conversation, unable to focus on anything else but my unease around this purple haired stranger.
"Excuse me Makoto, would you mind if we could talk to you alone?" My gaze lifted off the floor and to the face of an expectant Goku. I hesitated, what could they possibly want to talk to me about. My mind reeled with possibilities, maybe my unexplained trust in them was unfounded and I should have reason to fear these people. Something inside me told me this wasn't the case.
However, Rei immediately went on the defensive, "I think anything you have to say to her, you could say in front of us. I'm sorry but we barely even know you." She cast them all such a glare that it rivaled Vegeta's, and I think she shocked us all with her surprising ferocity.
"No." I said surprising even myself, "It's okay, I'll talk to them" all the sailor senshi turned to me with shocked expressions on their faces. "Are you sure Makoto?" Ami said, obviously her analytical side taking over and recognizing the risk of going along with 4 strangers. "One of us could go with you" Minako added, her instincts kicking into overdrive. I was tempted to agree with her, but I had a feeling that whatever they had to say was for my ears only. I threw them a nervous smile and gathered my strength to say "I'll be fine."
I followed the men into a dark ally which only increased my fear. My heart was pounding uncontrollably and I was fighting the urge to run. Trunks must have sensed my uncertainty because he fell into step beside me and smiled down at me. I looked up at him and smiled back, somehow everything was right in the world.
Trunks POV
I don't know what possessed me to smile at her, but I felt for her and I was glad I did. The feeling of anxiousness she must've felt, reminded me of the feelings I had in the anticipation of meeting my father for the first time. We stopped in the alley way and no one spoke. What in the world do we say to this girl? Was she even aware of her own power? Would she run and think we were crazy when she heard of our plan? I couldn't exactly blame her. She wasn't aware of her importance, but to me she was the key to my future and millions of lives. "Makoto," Goku's voice contained the kind of gentleness that only a father could have, "we understand that you are probably confused and fearing for your safety, but I promise we won't hurt you. We found a jewel called the Ginzshou and we need your help to defeat an enemy where we live. We wonder if you would be willing to meet us later tonight in this alley at midnight"
Makoto POV
I blinked several times unable to think of anything to say. I was completely incapable of hiding my shock. These men had possession of the Ginzshou? How? That was impossible. Usagi had it in her broach right now. What enemy were they talking about? If there had been any enemy I would have heard about it and would be fighting it. Why would they be fighting an enemy anyways? Well they were all incredibly built….especially that purple haired one……but that was off the subject. Why would they need my help, Usagi was the one with the ginzshou and the one with all of the Moon Kingdom's power, I am just one of her protectors. This is absolutely crazy. I had so many questions on my mind and I didn't know which one to ask first, so instead I just said, "Why midnight? Why not talk now?"
Goku looked worried but spoke anyways, "Well, we might need you to come with us to where we live, and there is to much to explain right now. Your friends will be worried about you if we talk to you for too long, and we would prefer it that they don't know what's going on."
Surprising myself I barely had to consider whether or not I wanted to meet them that night. Granted I was still wary of these people I had met not even 20 minutes ago, I had the lingering feeling of trust, unfounded as it might've been, it was there nonetheless. I looked at Trunks; the smile I was looking to see was gone from his face and replaced with eager anticipation. I nodded and I said, "I'll be here."
As I was walking back I was trying to think of something I was going to tell the senshi instead of what Goku had told me. I felt wrong for lying to them, especially about something that involved the Ginzshou, but I understood the unspoken gravity of the situation that these men had spoken of. I couldn't tell the senshi. This was my ordeal and they couldn't be involved in it, no matter the outcome. Ami rushed towards me with the rest of the senshi and was the first to speak, "What did they say to you?"
I hesitated, Think fast, think fast……"The mean one with the weird hair wanted to ask me out." I said quickly. The senshi roared with laughter, all except Rei.
"Are you serious? What did you say!" Usagi asked, tears of laughter streaming from her eyes. I smiled convincingly, "I told him I had a boyfriend." Another roar of laughter erupted from the senshi and Rei looked at me with knowing eyes. I gave her a look of I'll tell you later. I guess I will have to tell one of the senshi because there was no fooling Rei.
END CHAPTER 2
By the way, I'm not really sure if I've spelled "Ginzshou" right. I'm pretty sure I haven't.
