Enjoy!

Meanwhile at Mt. Paozu, Bulma and Videl were trying their best to comfort a very distressed Chichi. Gohan and Vegeta were taking turns looking out the front window, looking out for anything that could turn out to be dangerous. They had been watching the news for a while now, hoping for an update on the destruction of South City. Chichi had gotten worried as she remembered that Skylar and Trunks had gone to South City that morning.

"Do you think they're okay?" Chichi chewed at the inside of her cheek. Vegeta scoffed.

"If anything, they're probably thinking that this is nothing in comparison to any other battle."

"How could you say something like that? They could be hurt or worse! They're only ten years-old!" Bulma yelled at Vegeta, who covered his ears.

"Woman, they aren't weak or innocent like earthling brats. Did you forget? They're saiyans, they could easily eliminate any earthling that tries to harm them!" Gohan continued looking out the window.

'I hope you're right Vegeta.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at South City...

Trunks closed his eyes and swung the pipe just as the creature lunged at him. He heard a crack and opened his eyes horrified. He was face to face with the thing, it snapped its fangs at him and tried reaching out to him with its claws. Trunks was horrified as he realized that the creature was impaling itself, trying to reach him.

"What the!?" He swung as hard as could and threw the pole with the thing on it onto the ground. He raised his hand and aimed at the thing just as it got up and was scampering towards him with a slight limp, making it look creepier. It jumped in the air, determined to rip his throat out.

"GO TO HELL!" With that, he fired a large beam. The thing then fell to the floor with blood spewing from the freshly made wound and it got back up, charging at him in rage. Trunks decided to go super saiyan, not wanting to risk his chances in case the creature had been toying with him. The creature hissed at him and leaped once again, only this time, Trunks had had enough. He waited until it was close to him, when it was close enough he grabbed its throat and lifted it up in the air. The thing clawed at his arm, shredding his sleeve. Trunks raised his hand and shot.

There was a shriek followed by a splatter as its head exploded, sending blood and chunks of putrid flesh everywhere. Trunks jumped a little as he felt blood splatter on his face and he was practically coated in blood, he felt the body go limp and he threw it on the ground. He watched it and made sure that it was completely dead. He quickly walked over to Skylar and tried waking her up again.

Skylar felt something shaking her and calling her name. She opened her eyes and saw Trunks, who was covered in blood. She got up quickly and took a couple of steps away from him.

"W-what the hell happened to you?" She asked shakily, oblivious to what had happened while she was unconscious. Trunks walked over to her and she took a couple of steps back. Trunks frowned noticing her sudden withdrawal, he sighed and tried his best to explain.

"Well you see, while you were unconscious, I was attacked b-"

"By what?" She interrupted him just as he was about tell her.

"Look, if you keep interrupting me like that, I won't have time to explain and we might get attacked again." Skylar gave him a questioning look and sighed.

"Sorry, continue."

"As I was saying, this weird creature attacked me. It kind of reminded me of a zombie, but it was waaay faster. You remember that movie we saw once?"

"Which one?"

"The one where these people are in a desert during the apocalypse."

"Trunks there are tons of movies like that, can't you be a little more specific?" Skylar pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Kay fine, this chic is pregnant and a bunch of demon people are trying to kill the lady and her unborn child."

"Oh! I remember now! It was called Legion, or something like that right?"

"Yeah, something like that. Anyways, the thing that attacked me was similar to one of those demon people."

"Demon people?" Skylar asked in a bored tone, "Couldn't you come up with something better than that?"

"What's wrong with that? Isn't that what they are though?" Skylar rolled her eyes at him.

"Whatever Skylar. Do you think there are any survivors?"

"Judging by the way this place looks, there might not. Who knows? Maybe there are."

"Hey, how 'bout we fly around and check out the rest of the city?"

"Fine by me. Except, we have to stick together, just in case." With that, they took off looking at the city from above. There were so many bodies and so much destruction. As they flew, they heard the sound of glass breaking and a scream. Skylar turned to look at Trunks, who nodded his head at her and they both went down to where they heard the scream. They quietly walked along the crumbling road, looking at their surroundings. There was another scream along with glass breaking, they turned and ran in that direction. What they saw, made Trunks slightly cringe.

There, in the entrance of a store, was a large group of people who seemed normal at first. Until one of them turned and noticed the two. The thing was once human however, now it was missing a chunk of its face and an arm. Skylar felt sick as she saw the body of a child dangling from its bloody mouth. A woman and another child were cowering in front of the large group of 'demon people', as Trunks had put it. A plan formed in his mind.

'It might work. If I could somehow distract all of them at once, we just might save those survivors'. Trunks grabbed a somewhat large piece of gravel and chucked it at the group. Skylar gaped at Trunks, "Are you crazy!?" Trunks smirked down at her.

"Correction, I'm batshit crazy." He went super saiyan and looked over as one, if not all, turned around and snarled at them. Skylar looked up at her long-time friend and saw that he was smirking at the group.

'Arrogant ass.' She smirked and also went super saiyan. The demon at the very front opened it large mouth, dropping the dead child with a sickening crack and shrieked.

"Alright, listen closely, I'm going to take on all of them and you get that woman and her child somewhere safe."

"Trunks I don't think anywhere is safe at this moment." Trunks closed his eyes for a brief second.

"Fine, instead protect them and make sure they're not gravely injured." He powered up more, hoping that one of the Z fighters might sense them. Skylar noticed and did the same.

"Good luck old friend."

"Likewise."

They both stood their ground as the demons charged at them, snarling and making spine-chilling screams. Trunks dodged as one of the creatures lunged at him, he shot a decent sized ki blast at another one that was closing in on him fast. Skylar reached the mother and her child, who shrunk back in fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you." The woman began sobbing loudly, catching the attention of a demon. Skylar noticed it before it reached them and she fired a large blast disintegrating it. She turned back to the woman and noticed that she was cradling her daughter, who had many injuries.

"What happened to her?"

"We were running away from t-those things and she tripped and fell. I-I think she broke her leg." Skylar took a closer look at the girl and noticed bone sticking out from her knee. The woman collapsed on her knees crying.

"My little boy is dead!" The woman kept sobbing loudly and Skylar knew that it would eventually attract more of them.

"I'm sorry for your loss ma'am, but right now I really need you to be as quiet as you can."

"But, my son-"

"Like I said, I'm sorry for your loss. We have to get you and your daughter somewhere safe to treat your injuries." Skylar looked over at Trunks. He seemed to be holding off on his own for now. She bit her lip and tried thinking where she could leave the survivors without running into danger. She looked at the roof above them, it seemed sturdy. She looked back at the woman.

'I wonder if she can walk?'

"Can you walk?"

"Huh?"

"Are you able to move your feet and walk?"

"Yes, why?"

"Kay, never mind, just don't freak out or whatever, but I'm going to need you to hold on." The woman stared at her as if she was crazy. Skylar sighed and picked her and her daughter up, rolling her eyes as the woman screamed. She tried to make it quick but the woman kept squirming, weighing her down a bit. She finally managed to place them on the roof and noticed some of the demons had heard the scream. They ran lopsided and leaped in the air, trying to get on the low roof. One of them had managed to get a grasp on the ledge and Skylar fired a beam, missing its hand and instead shooting it in the face, splattering blood around them.

"You're not human either, are you?" The woman asked her nervously.

"No, I'm not." Skylar said, watching her best friend starting to struggle a bit and decided to help him.

"Stay right here and try not to make any sounds that could attract those things to you."

"Where are you going?!"

"I have to help my friend." She flew down and landed near Trunks, who was trying not to get his face bitten off.

"I thought I told you to stay with the survivors!?" Trunks grunted as he pushed away one of the demons.

"Well I thought you could use some help."

"I don't."

"Yeah right, you can't even talk to me without getting out of breath." Skylar watched as one of them tried jumping Trunks from behind. She easily shot it between the eyes, blood spewing from the hole. Suddenly there was a scream from somewhere behind them, they spun around and saw the same woman, now on the gravel, cradling the mangled body of the little boy.

"Fuck!" Trunks and Skylar flew as fast as they could towards the helpless woman, but it was too late. One or two jumped at the same time, ripping her arm off and she screamed again as the things fought over the arm, more had jumped on her tearing at whatever they could. Skylar watched in terror as the woman was being torn apart, but Trunks had other ideas. He ran over and began blasting heads off until all of the demons were dead, he pulled the dead bodies off the woman. Skylar ran over to them and watched in amazement as the woman had barely survived. She gurgled and spat out blood, she tried to say something. Trunks and Skylar leaned closer to hear her last words.

"P-please, t-take care of m-my daughter." The woman's eyes rolled and her body went limp. Trunks and Skylar looked at each other in horror.

"Holy Shit."
