Second Chapter!! This belongs to "IcyPinkPop", not ME! (I won't mention this again!)
You stare uncontrollably at the newcomer, both confused and transfixed. The dark haired man slowly raises himself from the floor, crossing his arms and wearing an offended expression.
"Hey," he says sharply. "I'm in the middle of something." Although you can only see him from behind, you get the impression that the lavender-haired boy is severely angry. All of a sudden, he reaches his hand back towards you and looks over his shoulder.
"Get out of here!" he yells, strewn pieces of glass reflecting in his light blue eyes; Nodding, you hoist yourself up and begin to run for the exit. However, before you can reach it, the black-haired man appears in front of the door, blocking your path. You stagger back in fear, eyes locking with his.
"You're not going anywhere," he says smoothly, putting his hands on his hips. Trembling, you see him start to advance towards you when he suddenly jumps to the side. A small, yellow blast passes over the place where he had stood only moments ago, exploding when it makes contact with the wall.
Glancing over to your right, you see the other man standing with his arm outstretched, glaring at the dark-haired one.
"Stay away from her." he warns, narrowing his eyes. The man in the orange bandana smirks back at him.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" he asks, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt. The other stands still for a moment before letting out a yell and rushing at him, drawing back his fist; The shorter man hovers quickly out of reach and you close your eyes, indescribably distressed and scared. A few seconds later, however, you hear a smashing noise followed by repeated crackling sounds.
Catching the scent of something very similar to smoke, you open your eyes and stare over to the other side of the room.
The purple haired man stands with his arm outstretched in front of him, his fist penetrating the chest of the black-haired boy's blond companion. Her eyes are wide and she stands completely still, pressed rigidly against the wall.
Looking closer, you see small yellow sparks flickering out of and around her like fireflies. You gasp in a mixture of shock and relief as the boy slowly pulls his fist away, letting her sparking body crash against the floor, making the clinking sound of metal on stone. The girl's partner hovers in the air above her, eyes wide in surprise.
"18?" he asks in a slightly confused tone, glancing down at her destroyer when no response is heard. "I must admit, you're stronger than I first anticipated." he muses, eyes directed coldly upon the other. "But I can assure you, Dr. Gero did not build us as equals. I am much stronger than 18 could ever dream of becoming." The larger man scowls and points up at him. "I don't care. I'm not scared of you," he says angrily, focusing only on the lethal creature floating above him. The dark-haired man smirks. "I suppose I'll have to deal with you later," he says, turning his back on the other. "I have...better things to do."
With that, the man turns and flies out the window and into the distance, leaving his smoking, crumpled twin lying on the floor in the corner. The purple haired man begins to run towards the window as well, but then suddenly stops and looks over towards you, eyes wide.
Unable to speak for paralysis and fright, you merely stare back at him, swaying slightly when the strong sensation of pain starts to return to your body. Slowly, the boy walks over to you and you draw back in nervousness, unsure of his intentions.
Although he had just saved you from a terrible event that most likely would have resulted in your death, you have grown to be slightly untrustworthy. He stops about a foot away and gives you a wan smile.
"Hey, it's okay." he says in a soft, charming voice. "I won't hurt you." Hesitantly, you straighten yourself up to your full height and stagger, a sharp pain shooting through your leg. Feeling your body begin to fall forward, you squint your eyes in anticipation of hitting the floor when you feel something curled around you. Slowly opening your eyes, you breathe in sharply when you see the man holding you up, his strong arms surrounding you.
"It's okay. I've got you," he says quietly, looking worried, "You can't walk, can you?" Biting your lip, you shrug.
"I-I dunno." you sputter, noticing how strange your voice sounds. The man nods and lets you go. "I can take you back to my place if you want." he says. "You could get some sleep. Food too. You look like you need it." Sighing in relief, you nod tiredly.
"That'd be great," you say weakly, attempting to take another step forward. You feel the pain enter your leg again and you grab on instinctively to the boy's shoulder, steadying yourself. The man blinks down at you.
"Looks like I'll have to carry you, Miss. I mean, if that's okay." The wary, suspicious feeling flares up in you again, but is quickly extinguished when you look up into his eyes.
He seemed so honest, so trustable. And you know perfectly well you wouldn't get far if you attempted to make the journey yourself. Slightly calmed, you nod. The young man smiles reassuringly and moves up behind you, placing one forearm behind your knees and the other behind your back.
Cautiously, he pulls you up into his arms bridal style and walks over towards the demolished window. He looks down at you and smiles.
"Hold on." he instructs you, allowing you a moment to wrap your arms around his neck. Taking one last deep breath, you feel yourself rise in the air and begin to move slowly forward. Un-accustomed to this strange sensation of flight, you close your eyes tighter and whimper quietly. You feel his put his hand softly on the back of your head.
"Shh. it's okay. We'll be there soon," he whispers. The cool wind washes over your body and you begin to relax, feeling more safe and secure than you can ever remember.
After a few minutes, you feel the boy slow down and your position shifts, leading you to believe he is making his landing. Slowly, you open your eyes and glance around. A large, blue, dome-shaped building stands in front of you, red letters on the roof reading 'Capsule Corporation'. Confused, you look up at the man.
"Home sweet home." he says, looking over at it. "Let's get you inside." Feeling your eyes drift shut in exhaustion, you feel yourself begin to move forward. You hear the sound of an automatic door opening, and the patter of the boy's footsteps on the carpet below you. Aware that you are beginning to lose consciousness, you barely hear a high voice shout "Trunks!" before your world goes dark...
