I'm very sorry for not updating sooner, life has been busy lately. I will be updating regularly for those who enjoy the story thus far.
Chapter Ten – New Findings
Otherworld : Then
He looked around the small planet searching for him. He caught sight of what he was looking for and started approaching the figure. He stopped right behind him, "Hey King Kai!" "Ahhh!" he responded in surprise. King Kai turned around quickly and was met by his student, "Goku, you scared me." "Oh, sorry King Kai. Was going to search around here to see if I can find that person who attacked Chi-Chi." "So, do you know who this person could be?" "Uh yeah. It might take some time to explain." "Well Goku, in the land of the dead you have all the time in the world," he remarked laughing at his own joke. "Right…" Gohan sounded. He and Goku looked at each other and began telling King Kai everything of their discovery.
The figure walked up to the Underworld guards guarding a cell of the worst and strongest individuals in the universe. She walked slowly thinking critically of a plan of attack, I need to wreak havoc, but how…? I could acquire a stronger body, but it would still last a few minutes at best. What if there were lots of pawns working for me…? She lifted her head suddenly and a smirk played on her devious face. She turned away from the guards, headed in a different direction and disappeared.
Capsule Corporation : Present 12:45am
Lita sat up quickly gasping for air. She looked around the darkness to try to get her bearings. She breathed a sigh of relief when she recognized her new surroundings. She lied back on the pillow thinking to herself, That dream felt so real…what does it mean? She brought her hands to her temple rubbing it gently, small figures appear and destroy everything… She shuddered at the ending of the dream she was having, I don't understand what it means. I usually see other people's death but… She shifted in the bed turning to her side; she was staring blankly at the bedroom door. After a few minutes she glanced at the clock noting the time, Sigh…I'd better get some more sleep, got a long day ahead of me. She closed her eyes hoping to not have any more nightmares or dreams period for that matter.
Otherworld : Now
Goku and Gohan had finished explaining their findings to King Kai. "It's as I feared Goku, this new being is something we won't be able to fight, well physically anyway." "So King Kai, how do we stop them then?" "Hmm, well first of all we have to find their weaknesses Gohan. Then we might have a chance…a very slim chance." "King Kai, have you noticed that new power here?" "I did Goku, the problem is, I don't know where the energy was coming from." "What, even a Kai can't pin point that power. Now I know we're in trouble." "Seriously Goku, these things take some time. I just need to concentrate a little more." King Kai's antennae came together searching all of Snake way and Hell. Whoa, Gohan thought. "Hey dad look," he whispered. Goku was also watching as King Kai was shaking uncontrollably while searching for that evil power. Even King Kai's shaking. How do we fight an enemy who can wipe you from existence? What other way is there to fight someone?
Goku thought back to their encounter with Babidi, Babidi attacked us with his magic by finding the evil in people's hearts. Is there a way we could do the same with this person? "Ah!" King Kai sounded. "What is it King Kai?" "I found her. She's in Hell." "King Kai, is there anyway we could attack someone other then with fist? I was recalling Babidi earlier…" "Ah Goku, you might be on to something. Only problem is that Babidi's dead." King Kai was thinking critically about the idea Goku had in mind. Perhaps there's a way to attack this person mentally, the same way Babidi attacked Vegeta. "Goku, do you think there's anyone alive who has great mental capabilities?" "Well, the only person that comes to mind is the Elder Kai," Gohan reminded. "That's right," Goku remembered. "Goku, you can't ask the Elder Kai to deal with this!" "King Kai, I think this person can harm everyone, even people living in the Spiritual Realm. At least we can ask the elder Kai for advice." "Well at least let me contact him first to let him know what's going on." "Ok," Goku responded. King Kai walked a short distance to locate the Grand Kai. By the order of things, a lesser Kai has to go through the proper channels to speak with the greater Kais. I just hope this doesn't take too long.
Capsule Corporation : Present 6:50am
Weary from the dreams that tortured her all night, Lita decided to get up and fix something to eat for herself before starting her chores. She closed her room door silently and made her way to the kitchen.
Unable to sleep anymore Mirai Trunks sat up in bed. He glanced at the clock, Father will be up soon… He saw someone's shadow pass by his bedroom door. Hmm… He pulled on some pants and made his way to the door. He walked a short distance and found that Lita was in the kitchen trying to reach something on the top shelf of a cabinet. Mirai Trunks walked quietly up to her and reached for the object with little effort. Shocked, Lita inhaled sharply and pulled her hand away, she relaxed a little once she saw who it was. Mirai Trunks gave her the hot cocoa she was reaching for and leaned on the counter looking her over. He tried not to notice that she was wearing a fairly short nightgown which had very little under it.
She smiled a bit, "You sure have a way of sneaking up on me Tren." Mirai Trunks smiled also, "Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to either times." His smile faded and he began to turn red as he realized what the other time was. Lita also blushed at what he said, I was hoping no one would be awake yet. I would have put on more clothes if I knew. She glanced down at her appearance, note to self, wear a bra at all times. She moved to the coffee maker to heat some water for her cocoa. Mirai Trunks could see that her eyes were red and she looked fairly fatigued. "Did you get any sleep?" She rubbed her eyes trying to rid the sleep from them, "I got some sleep." "Did the storm keep you awake?" "Yeah," she lied. No point in going into detail about something I'm unclear about. "I'll be fine though."
It didn't take the water very long to finish, "Would you like any hot cocoa?" "Sure, why not…" Lita prepared two cups of cocoa and gave Mirai Trunks his cup. She then went to the table to have a seat. Mirai Trunks also took a seat across from her, "So how do you like being here in West City?" as he gulped down some of his drink. "Well, I just moved here so I haven't seen much of it. I hope to some day." "Umm…I haven't seen much around here either. Maybe we should go out and tour the town." Lita looked into those wonderful blue eyes of his, Is he asking me out? I just met him…But I'd be a fool not to. Should I…? "Sure, I'd like to take a look around the city," she gave a smile for reassurance. Her smiles seemed infectious and Mirai Trunks couldn't help but smile himself. The two sat there in silence for a while sipping at their cocoa. "So, since you aren't from here, where are you from?" "Umm," Lita began trying to think of something convincing. "I…"
Vegeta came in to the kitchen, "Boy, let's get started." Mirai Trunks looked at Vegeta a little annoyed and gulped down the rest of his drink. "So, I'll see you later then?" "Yeah, have to get breakfast started anyway. See ya later," she smiled after him. Mirai Trunks left with Vegeta to wake Trunks and Goten to begin training. Lita also finished her drink, that was a close one…don't know how long I can keep this up. They're bound to find out sooner or later…need to come up with a cover story. Lita sighed to herself, better get dressed and start cooking.
Otherworld : Later
The third of the guards lay bleeding on the ground, his entrails spilling from his body. She opened the cell door freeing the cloud like entities from their confines. The large group of entities crowded around the woman. "Who are you?" "Yeah what do you want?" a few of them retorted. "No need for the anger, I just want to help you." "Help us. With what?" "I couldn't help but notice that a large group of you seemingly innocent people have ended up caged in Hell." "Yeah, that evil King Yemma, he said because of us the Saiyans got our technology and destroyed stuff." "And that we have an evil resentment to kill them." "I guess so," one of them laughed. The others also began laughing at the truth that was realized. "Well where's the justice in that?" she persuaded. "I know," they all muttered in agreement. The woman smiled, "What if I made your wish come true? I can grant you access to the living world again to take your revenge." "What?" came from one. "I have the power to give you your bodies back and grant you powers that will rival the Saiyans'." "What's in it for you?" came from another. "Nothing. You taking revenge on the Saiyans is all I care about." "When can we start?"
The woman smiled again, "Anytime you want, but first…" She turned away from the group before her and walked a little ways away. She waved a hand and a translucent scene of multiple people came to view. "As you can see, the Saiyans have grown many in numbers. This entire planet consists of Saiyans. Don't be fooled by their appearance and lack of a tail. They have evolved in the time you were here. I will give you the power to level everything in your path. But be warned, you won't be invincible to their attacks. I will give you shields to ward their attacks, but it'll only last as strong as your wills." "That's fine by me. As long as I take as many with me as I can." "Yeah," they all agreed. "Well I must point out the generals and the Prince to you." The scene flashed an image of Vegeta, Goku, Gohan and Mira Trunks. "The first one is the Prince himself. The other three are his generals. These are the only ones I require you to destroy for my helping you." "All right boss lady, let's get started." The scene vanished as she began conjuring a spell to enhance them and grant them freedom.
Capsule Corporation : Present 9:40am
The door to Bulma's lab swung open and Bulma walked through it. "Oh, sorry if I'm a little late Lita. Had to help myself to the food you made." "Oh it's nothing. So, what will you have me do?" "Hmm…" Bulma pondered. I could let her handle all of the computer data… Bulma moved towards her desk and pulled out some blue prints she was constructing as well as research data. She handed the papers to Lita, "I want you to scan the blue prints into my computer and copy this research data on the computer as well." Lita grabbed the papers and looked them over briefly. "Oh, and if you don't mind I'd also like you to organize those papers." "Ok," Lita said nodding. "I'll be across the room tinkering with a prototype I'm working on. Once you finish with those, I want to put your engineering skills to the test." Lita smiled in response and sat at Bulma's computer to begin her work. Bulma walked away and was busying herself with her new machine. For some reason I believe that we may need this thing to find Chi-Chi.
The boy's fusion technique was performed flawlessly; they were now demonstrating the various attacks they had came up with. Vegeta and Mirai Trunks looked on, "So boy, you've been doing training right?" "Yes," Mirai Trunks answered. "Well show me, I know you've reached an ascended Saiyan." Mirai Trunks was a little shocked at Vegeta's guess. Mirai Trunks nodded and began powering up. He easily went Super Saiyan in a flash; he then widened his stance and began powering up. His muscles bulged from the intensity of the power he was exuding and he let out a brief cry as he pushed through to the ascended level. Electricity began to hiss and the entire space ship was quaking. The boys stopped to see what Mirai Trunks was doing. It grew until the entire Capsule Corp compound was trembling like that of an earthquake. Mirai Trunks' pupils went white as he continued powering up.
"Ahhh!" Lita let out. She held on to the computer so it wouldn't fall off of the desk. Bulma hit her head in shock at the ruckus and slid from under the machine as quick as possible hoping to not get crushed. Dammit Vegeta! What the hell are you doing! Bulma sat on the ground waiting for the quaking to stop.
With one final cry, Mirai Trunks finished the transformation. His pupils showed the color of turquoise, a trademark of a Super Saiyan. He stood there with electricity crackling around him. Vegeta wore a smirk on his face, He's as strong as Gohan was when he fought Cell, actually he's a little bit stronger. "Good, now to reach a level three Super Saiyan." Mirai Trunks looked at him confused, "You mean there's a level beyond an ascended Saiyan?" "Yes, and you're not far from it. I want you to train hard to reach it." Mirai Trunks nodded slowly, Wow there's a level three…I bet Goku already reached it. Mirai Trunks smiled and had his mind set on the new goal his father had set for him.
"Wow, you're as strong as Gohan," Gotenks realized. "Still have a while 'til you catch up with us though," he laughed smugly. Vegeta glared at the boys for a moment, Now for Mirai Trunks and Gohan to learn the fusion technique.
Bulma made her way to the wall com and pressed the button for the space ship, "Can you idiots cut it out!" Everyone within the ship looked up noting Bulma's angry voice. "We're training for a good cause woman!" "Well at least go elsewhere and try not to destroy my ship!" "Hmph," was all that came from Vegeta.
Bulma turned from the com and saw that Lita was looking in her direction. Great! Now she's gonna wonder what the hell that was all about. "Sorry," Bulma tried to explain, "but I built a space ship and they try to amuse themselves by messing with it." She laughed nervously hoping Lita would understand. "Ok…" she said slowly and turned back to her work. Bulma breathed a sigh of relief and went back to working herself.
Kami's Lookout : Present 12:00pm
Eighteen looked around to see that everyone had finally returned to the Lookout and started training. I really wish I could be human again, and find out who we were before Gero changed us as androids, she thought to herself. She averted her attention to Seventeen who was actually kneeled down chatting with Marron. The little girl had taken a liking to her new uncle and wanted to know everything about him. I hope he isn't being a bad influence on her. She got up from her seated position and made her way over to her twin. As she got near she could hear that Marron was teaching him how to play the game of rock, paper, scissors. Eighteen wore a small smile which faded shortly afterwards. I just hope this isn't his last time he'll ever spend with Marron. If that new evil appears… "Hey Eighteen," Krillin called. "Me and the guys were thinking about training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a day." "And what, you're going with them to knock off a year of your life in there? Tell them I'm not going and neither are you." "Uhh…" Krillin responded backing away a step. What's gotten in to her all of a sudden? "Is everything ok?" Eighteen sighed, "I'm fine Krillin. If you want to go and train then be my guess, I'm going to stay here in case any enemies appear." "Ok…" Krillin wasn't sure what his decision should be, he didn't want to disappoint her. "Well, how 'bout me and you do some training together?" Eighteen stared at him for a moment, then agreed to his idea. She and Krillin walked towards the others to let them know of their plans.
Capsule Corporation : Present 6:05pm
Lita stretched as she finished the last of the papers. She had already cataloged everything and was closing out the various windows on the computer. She closed out all of them except the one she had came across before when the compound was shaking. I should ask Bulma about this, I'm sure she would know about it. Lita minimized the window and stood from the desk. She walked over to Bulma who was now welding various fuses together.
"Hey Bulma, I finished with everything." Bulma laid down her blow torch and took off her mask, "That's great." Lita offered her a hand up which she took. Lita followed Bulma as she made her way to the sink to wash her hands. "So, with the blueprints you gave me, it seems as if the machine you're working on is capable of time travel." Bulma stopped washing her hands and looked up from the sink, crap, how'd she figure out so quickly. Well she is my assistant, so I do have to tell her what we're working on. Bulma finished her task and turned around to face Lita, "Yes you're right. You're pretty sharp for your age." "Well ma'am being 25 doesn't seem that young to me." "But still…" Bulma said. Wow, she's reached my level at that age.
"So, what do you think about the project I'm working on?" Lita thought for a moment, "Well, if you've already made a space ship, then my question about whether time travel is even possible is already answered. You ma'am are a very smart woman, so I don't doubt that you can make it happen." "So what do you think about time travel?" "Well, I believe that many time lines may exist and that each one is its own. Meaning, I believe that if one travels through time, they would be able to exist in that time and change any events of that time. I think that a time line would be altered if we were to travel to it being that we're supposed to exist here. And that I don't think one can exist in the same time line at the same time. Or if they do, then the events that are witnessed can't be altered." Very interesting, she's touched on what the guys went through, but how? "Of course, this is all speculation. I have no idea what exactly would happen if someone travels through time." "How did you manage to come up with that theory?" "Not sure really. Just an educated guess based on stuff I studied in school." Interesting…
"Well Lita, I'll assure you that time travel is very much possible and can be realized." Hmm, Lita thought, "Ma'am I have to ask. Is Tren really from this time? It seems hard to believe that someone so identical to your son exists." "Uhh…" Bulma chewed on her bottom lip, What should I tell her? Should I continue to lie…she's much too smart and will figure it out eventually. Dammit! Shouldn't have mentioned that time travel is possible. "Lita," Bulma began, "What I'm about to tell you is confidential and is not to be repeated to anyone that you know. Yes, Mirai Trunks is from the future. He is my son from twenty years in the future." Lita blinked a few times, "Wow, I always suspected but…" "Well he came to visit us before to warn us of the…" Bulma stopped realizing she was telling too much. "Warn us of what?" Lita pressed. Bulma sighed, "Warn us of an impending doom that was to come. I'm sure you saw the news about the Cell games right?" "Yeah," Lita informed. She then realized what the information on Bulma's computer was. "So, that was your husband and all of your friends?" "Yes," Bulma informed. "That makes some sense," Lita admitted.
Wanting to know everything Lita pushed for more, "So, the unusual powers and everything with Mirai Trunks, your husband and those other three are what you call a Saiyan right?" Bulma's eyes grew wide in shock, "How did you…" "I saw the data you had about them on your computer, you left the window open." Bulma's face was rigid for a second, Dammit! I can't believe I am so careless. I guess the cat's out of the bag now. "Yes," Bulma said quietly. She then hung her head in shame and then met Lita's gaze again, "I'm sorry to keep so much from you. I'm sure you realized that this information was on a need to know basis and must be kept secret," she laughed nervously. Lita smiled, yes ma'am I know. I promise not to tell anyone that doesn't already know." Bulma smiled as well, Good, she seems like a trust worthy person.
I wonder if I should tell them my secrets, would only be fair. Lita opened her mouth as if going to say something when Vegeta, Mirai Trunks, Trunks and Goten came walking in the lab from outside, each of which looked worn. "I'm hungry," Goten wined. So now I know why they eat so much, Lita smiled to herself.
Bulma looked over the boys, "Do you really need to push them so hard Vegeta?" "Woman, if you hadn't noticed we have a battle to prepare for," Vegeta said in a low voice. Lita heard him anyway and couldn't help but think about that evil she witnessed. Kakkarot needs to get back here so we can look for the Dragonballs, never know what will happen. Lita's eyebrows furrowed, "What's a Dragonball?" Vegeta immediately turned towards Lita, as did the rest of them. What! Vegeta asked himself. He stormed his way over to Lita backing her into the nearby wall. "What do you know of the Dragonballs and how the 'hell' do you know what I was thinking!" he said while placing a hand on the wall next to her head. Did he really think that? There's no way I could have heard him think that. "Umm…" she stared a bit terrified at Vegeta who was staring her down with angry eyes. "Answer the question!" he demanded. Lita inhaled sharply, "I…" she tried to manage.
Bulma feeling sorry for the girl stepped forward, "Vegeta she knows everything." Vegeta turned his head to Bulma, "What do you mean by everything woman?" "I mean she found out about you guys being Saiyans and the fact that Mirai Trunks is from the future. She knows of just about everything that's been going on." Vegeta turned his attention back to Lita, "And how the hell did she figure all this out?" Lita was biting her lip and tried to avoid his gaze. "Because I left the information about you guys up on the computer by accident and she found out when she started working. And she realized what I was working on and asked me about it. And I'd appreciate it if you would stop terrorizing my assistant Vegeta," she said placing her hands on her hips for emphasis. Lita finally looked Vegeta in the eyes again as he backed off with a 'hmph' in his voice. "That still doesn't explain how she knows what I was thinking," he began again. "That's because I just told her about it before you guys came barging into my lab. Call it timing I guess, cause it's absurd that someone can read your mind," Bulma lied. She was looking to Lita as if saying you and me are going to talk later. Lita looked at Bulma acknowledging her expression and breathed a sigh of relief.
Goten ran up to her, "So, you're not afraid of us?" Lita looked down to the boy and smiled, "No I'm not, what's to be afraid of, besides your appetites of course." Bulma had to chuckle at the expression and so did Trunks and Mirai Trunks. Lita looked around at everyone and was glad that she could lighten the mood. "Oh," she began, "I guess I should get dinner started. If ya'll would excuse me." Bulma nodded for her to leave, Lita bowed slightly, ran towards the door and left the room.
"Mom I can't believe you told her everything," Trunks mentioned. "Yeah me neither," Bulma answered truthfully. "But I can trust her and I'm glad there aren't any more secrets." "Me too," Mirai Trunks admitted. "Hmph," came from Vegeta. He turned away from everyone and left the lab. A fairly loud grumbling could be heard. Goten smiled sheepishly, "Man I'm hungry." Bulma shook her head, I wonder how Chi-Chi manages to cook for three Saiyans? Bulma's expression was immediately saddened, Chi-Chi…I'll be sure to look after them while you're gone. Bulma bit her lip, I hope I see her again… She snapped out of her thoughts, "You guys should get washed up for dinner. I'm sure dinner will be done soon." "Ok," Trunks and Goten sounded as they ran off racing each other to the second floor. Bulma smiled after them, I'm glad Goten doesn't know the truth about Chi-Chi. Mirai Trunks was watching Bulma, "You ok mom?" She looked to Mirai Trunks shaking her head yes. "Was just wondering if the Dragonballs can bring back Chi-Chi." Mirai Trunks looked concerned at the statement, "I'm sure we'll find some way to bring her back." "You're right… Well I'm going to make sure Vegeta isn't still terrorizing Lita." "I'll come with you." "Oh, but first, there's something I've been meaning to show you." Mirai Trunks nodded and followed Bulma to the outside door.
Dinner went along without event and ended as quickly as it had before. Vegeta, Goten and Trunks left the table giving their thanks to Lita at a delicious meal. It was surprising to Lita after what happened early that even Vegeta muttered thanks for the food to her. Now, Bulma, Mirai Trunks and Lita remained in the dinning room. As Lita began the task of cleaning up the dishes, Bulma pulled her to the side while putting some dirty dishes into the sink. "You and me are going to talk tomorrow morning in my lab," Bulma informed her. Lita nodded in agreement and watched as Bulma left the room. Lita sighed to herself and turned back to the cleaning.
Mirai Trunks stood from the table carrying some dishes to the sink. "So, I guess your name isn't really Tren huh?" Mirai Trunks stopped what he was doing, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I didn't want to lie to you, but…" "I understand," she turned to him with a smile on her face. He smiled in return and was glad that she was understanding about everything.
He worked quietly along side Lita as they finished with the dishes. "So, you know everything about us now but I still don't know anything about you." Lita turned to him, "I'll be sure to tell you sometime soon." "Why not now?" "Because your mom told me to tell her everything in the morning." "Fair enough I guess." "I don't know everything about you though. Would like to learn more," she grinned in his direction. Mirai Trunks smiled too, Wow, I haven't smiled this much in a long time. It's hard not to when she's around. "Hey, how about you show me those fighting skills of yours?" Mirai Trunks asked. "Ok, I'll be right back, need to change clothes." He nodded and waited for Lita's return. After about seven minutes of waiting, Lita reappeared in the kitchen wearing new attire. She was wearing a red tank top with a knee length skirt that wrapped around her waist and was tied at her left side. The tapered skirt was long on the right but was revealing most of her left leg. She wore black flat shoes and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. "Alright, where to?"
Mirai Trunks turned towards the door leading the way to the Capsule Corp space ship outside of Bulma's lab. Once there, Mirai Trunks opened the door to the space pod. Mirai Trunks lead the way in with Lita in tow, "Wow, it looks a lot bigger on the inside. So, what are we gonna use to fight with?" Mirai Trunks guided her to the control mechanism at the center of the pod, "There's a new program mom created with weaponry. Never really used it cause we tend to use our fists to fight with."
Mirai Trunks input a few commands and waited for the program to load. "This thing also has artificial backgrounds." To prove his point, Mirai Trunks loaded a jungle like environment. Lita was blown away by the simulation's abilities, It looks so real… "This is amazing." "I know, mom showed me some of its features while you were cooking." He ended the environment simulation, "There's simulated weaponry and there's real weaponry, which do you want?" Lita smiled, "Real weapons." Interesting… After a few more commands, two panels revealed themselves on opposite ends of the ship. There were various weaponry ranging from daggers, throwing knives, swords steel and wooden, nunchucks, a bo staff, double bladed swords, various size axes, spiked ball and chain, and even guns. Mirai Trunks was curious to see which ones she would choose. Lita walked along the wall eyeing each of the weapons carefully. Lita grabbed six of the throwing knives and placed them in the band on her left thigh. She then decided to start things with the bo staff, one of her favorite weapons. She fiddled with the bo for a moment getting familiar with it. She then twirled it about her form to get in some practice. Mirai Trunks couldn't help but watch Lita easily wield the wooden pole. Satisfied with her brief practice run, Lita turned around and was ready for the fighting to begin.
Mirai Trunks then made his way to the opposite wall grabbing the same weapon. A mental image surfaced of Mirai Trunks thrusting the bo through Lita. Mirai Trunks shook his head to rid himself of the image, I don't want to hurt her… He thought to himself a moment, Ah! "So, do you want me to load the weapon simulation?" Lita tilted her head a bit, "Sure, why not." Mirai Trunks made his way back to the control panel and loaded the simulation. The ship's AI spoke, "Fight Sim one, all persons with a weapon in hands will be attacked. Be advised that all bots will cause physical bodily harm if not disposed of. Mission objective, destroy mechanized targets. Starting Sim." A whir was heard as multiple openings were created. Through those openings the bots made their way through. There appeared to be small robots of different types, flying, hovering and walking alike. Each looked like rather huge insects reaching about a foot or two each. There were about twenty in number that were now surrounding Lita. Lita looked around waiting for an attack. Mirai Trunks had already made his way to the other end of the ship to watch the fight unfold.
Suddenly from behind on her right, one of the flying bots darted towards her, its blade making contact with her right upper arm. Lita winced instinctively but regained her composure. Another bot was closing in on her left, which Lita dodged, striking another one with a thrust of her bo. She spun around dodging another one and ducked using the staff to ground sweep the walking bots that were closing in. Using the bo as a vertical pole, Lita swung on it with her hands sending another flying bot hurling with a kick. She landed again and twirled the bo over her head before slapping two more away.
Mirai Trunks looked on mesmerized by her majestic fighting style. Her fluent movements looked like a combination of dance and fighting. He looks on as she grabs the axe, cleaving a bot close by. She also reached for a dagger, pegging a walking bot to the floor. Wow, she's very flexible. Lita was doing a series of back flips, ending it by striking a bot with the axe. She bends all the way in her flips, her hands meet the ground before her feet leave the ground. This isn't something one learns over night. She must have had some training with this level of fighting. She's barely been touched by anything. Lita was on her right knee with her left leg out stretched and the newly reclaimed bo positioned behind her by her right hand. She had finished off the last of the bots with one of her throwing knives nailing it to the wall.
"Simulation, terminated," the AI announced. Mirai Trunks stood and made his way over to Lita. "That was amazing. Where did you learn to fight like that?" Lita stood once more leaning on the vertical staff, "Just a little something I picked up. I used to take dance lessons and fighting just came to me when I picked up a weapon." Mirai Trunks glared at her, "With perfect aim I might add," he said pointing to the last of the bots. Lita let out a small chuckle, "Yeah, I guess I'm a natural." He still wasn't satisfied with her answer. He could believe the dance part but remained unconvinced by the level of fighting she demonstrated. "So during the cell games, how did ya'll make your hair golden? What's the extent of a Saiyans power?" Mirai Trunks looked at her debating whether to reveal that information to her. He made his decision, "I'll show you one day. When I find out how you're so skilled with weapons." Lita looked a little hurt for a moment while Mirai Trunks made his way to the control panel. He entered the commands for the AI to clean up the battered bots scattered about. More robots appeared swarming about picking up the various pieces. Mirai Trunks made his way to the door of the pod and opened it, "Well I'm off to bed. See ya." He left Lita standing there watching the doorway. Lita sighed and grabbed the weapons she had just used and replaced them in their respective places. She walked towards the door and turned around once more seeing the last of the robots leaving through an opened panel. She too left through the pod's door closing it behind her.
Mirai Trunks entered his room, "Well, time for a much needed shower," he said pulling off his attire. He made his way to the bathroom and turned the shower on full blast. He jumped in welcoming the hot streams to roll over his skin. He found it hard to get images of Lita out of his mind. She's hiding something, but what? He thought back to the battle Sim that just took place and smiled, She's a very good fighter, and very cute at that.
On her way to the bedroom, Lita stopped in the kitchen to find some bandages for her arm which was bleeding a great deal now. She found the bandages and some cleaning ointment. Rummaging through the cabinets once more she found some cotton swabs. Dabbing some of the ointment on the swab, she braced herself as the solution began to sting at the wound cleaning it. Wow, that thing left a very deep gash. Better be a lot quicker next time. She cleaned the wound thoroughly and placed a large bandage around her right upper arm as best she could. With her teeth for assistance, she managed to tie the bandage. Satisfied with her efforts she replaced the items back in the cabinet. Lita reached her bedroom closing the door behind her. She made her way to the dresser and retrieved her night gown. She laid down on her bed thinking. Mirai Trunks is right, I have to tell them of my past. And how did I hear Vegeta's thoughts? What's happening to me? She turned towards the window as if the answers would appear there. She stared up at the starry sky wondering what the future will hold for her and what that dream meant. Not long afterwards sleep took over her and she was subject to her unconscious mind.

King Kai met everyone's gaze, "We're all doomed."
