Chapter 3 – An unexpected encounter
Bright shining stars were glowing in front of the time machine while it was flying through the universe.
The son of Vegeta was slumbering peacefully in the machine. He was traveling lots of days now through time and space, just with the thought to warn his father.
BAAAAANG!
At a single bow Trunks woke up and was wondering what just happened.
"What is the matter?" he asked himself and immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"The time machine…it's falling down!" he asserted and pushed the red emergency button but it was too late.
Last thing he felt was the air draft pushing his body together and dashing himself through the whole capsule.
"No! This couldn't be the end!" Trunks yelled out loud into nothing.
Somewhere else:
"Celija, I'm going to train. Do you come with me?"
"You're addicted too much to it, huh? But alright…I'm coming with you Celus." the red-haired woman answered to her brother's question and both went out of the huge house.
"He-Hello? Where am I?"
Trunks opened his eyes slowly. He saw a blue sky with thundery clouds. The irritated man moved his hands and felt grass. Trunks noticed that he was lying on green grass.
He got up carefully what wasn't easy at all. The violet-haired man felt the gravity pulling him down, it was apparently much stronger than on earth.
However, he didn't get exasperated, and straightened up and looked down on him.
"Puh! I'm very lucky!"
Suddenly, he exploded with laughter. Trunks had actually landed on an unknown planet.
The landing wasn't soft at all but he wasn't hurt, at least.
He looked around skeptically: "Looks like on earth, except the gravity." he affirmed.
Trees were around also flowers with flying bees around them. Birds were whistling and all seemed peaceful. Though, Trunks would soon figure out where he was.
The man trudged to his wrecked time machine.
"Man! That doesn't look good!" he noticed. All over the machine were damages and you could only read the characters ". C..p" out of the writing.
Also the color was scratched off, and all of the time machine was finally just a bunch of trash.
Trunks opened the loop carefully and got into the capsule. The board computer was as well wrecked.
He pushed the starter button hopeless but nothing happened. The capsule didn't move at all.
"Okay, then I have to figure the surrounding area out." Then he got on his way and asked himself: "Does anyone live here?"
Somewhere else again:
"Damn, Celus! How far do you want to fly yet? Look there's a perfect place to train. I hate these far flights!" the red-haired woman hissed.
"You take everything too lightly, sister! We have to prepare well for our coming travel. The rivals won't be weak." he replied calmly.
Since half an hour Trunks was still flying around and nowhere was a sign for any forms of life except wild animals. No cities; just rocky areas.
"What's this over there? Looks like…people." He talked with himself and his features got serious as he sensed them.
"Both of them have a strong aura – a huge aura. That can't be humans even they look like them!"
What Trunks saw next, let his blood in his veins froze.
Both of the creatures Trunks was seeing had actually two Saiyan tails.
"How can these be true? Hasn't father told me that there weren't any survivors? I'll hide and observe them first."
Trunks flew to a huge rock that he was close enough to see everything and hid himself beyond it.
Now, he was able to look into the enemies eyes.
Suddenly he noticed: "Huh, what are they doing? Do they fight? But…this is…a woman! A woman and a man, I suppose they're my age."
He kept observing for a while and took a closer look at them.
The man had black, shoulder-length hair, was tall and well-toned. He was wearing a black train suit.
What Trunks saw next was a scarf that was wrapped around the man's face. It was directly covering his cheek.
Certainly, there was the Saiyan tail, too.
Trunks' glance roamed from the man to the other person. A young woman.
She had red-hair that was bound into a braid. A few strands were hanging into her face.
He asserted that her body was a bit too delicate for a Saiyan but she apparently was strong.
"I've to figure out who they are! Could it possibly be that….?"
"Hey brother, you're too slow. You won't get a single punch until you're faster!" guffawed the red-haired woman amused.
"Don't be that stupid. If I wanted me to punch you I would definitely do it. Didn't you see that someone is observing us? Right there beyond the rock." he replied sternly.
Celija's features got angrily. Inconspicuously she watched over her shoulder toward the rock.
"Well, you're right." she stated.
"DAMN!" thought Trunks to himself very nervously. "They've spotted me!"
He tried to hide beyond the rock but it wasn't possible any longer, so he tried to find an answer.
"I have to face them…otherwise they maybe think that I want to harm them and they would want attack me." In the next moment he came out of his hiding place. Trunks thought that would be the best solution and went a few steps toward them.
The siblings were looking at him skeptically and Trunks had a very bad feeling about that.
They were standing face to face now and all of them had their eyes narrowed.
For one moment Trunks gulped and then he started to speak.
"Hello. My name is Trunks. I had been landing here because I've had an accident in space, so I was searching for help. But I've one question…you're Saiyans, aren't you?" while speaking he tried to sound neutral.
The black-haired man gave Trunks an answer: "You're right. My name is Celus, this is my sister Celija. From where do you know that we're Saiyans?"
"That's easy. I am a Saiyan too. Tell me, are there any other ones? I thought that Freezer had killed all aside from some exceptions?" he answered lightheartedly.
Briefly, Celija perked up her ears until she thought to herself: "What? He's a Saiyan, too? He kind of seems well-known to me. How can this be?" She didn't get the man out of her eyes for one second. She instantly noticed his cold eyes, this long violet hair and his well-toned body.
"Well…" replied Celus, neutral again, "…the planet we reside, we call it New-Saiya, was established by survivors. Lot of Saiyans saw through the tyranny Freezer long before he destroyed our home planet. So they took all necessary expenditures for escaping and many crack soldiers were as a matter of fact able to escape, also our father. Before our getaway, we let extra spaceships fly to the Tsufurijins. We wanted to take them with us…so we can use their high-developed technique.
Shortly after we arrived here, we built cities to live in. The fact that you're a Saiyan allows you to stay here if you want to or you can go with us to our palace. We could provide you our mechanists to repair your machine."
Now, Trunks features were signed with bewilderment. He just couldn't believe what he heard. Did they want to fool him?
"Eh…they're much too gracefully. I mean…they're Saiyans! But for the moment I guess I don't have an alternative. So I'll go with them and be careful…" he thought to himself stunned.
So, the three soldiers got on their way and were flying toward the palace. Celus and Celija were in front of Trunks so he could watch them beady-eyed. Meanwhile, it was raining and Trunks' clothes were completely wet.
"Wow, they're flying pretty fast. I hope the two of them aren't the ones I'm suspecting them to be, but that would be quite too much fortune. I'll have to wait and see." were his last thoughts.
