"Kiela are you alright?" Paragus asked, taking a few steps forward.
Can't... Can't move... I thought painfully, staring at the ground as my head throbbed painfully, everything was so fuzzy.
"Kiela look at me." Paragus said again. My head lifted up a little bit to look at Paragus. he held an open hand out at me, the strange object wrapped around his hand.
I tried to look away or at least close my eyes but my body wouldn't obey. No... why can't... I move..? The blue gem in the strange object glowed brightly and I felt drowsiness take over as darkness shrouded my vision. No... I have to... fight it..!
"Come on, just a little longer..." My body swayed a little bit before my shoulders slumped and darkness took over once again.
Paragus sighed in relief and lowered his hand. "That was a close one." He muttered. "Too close I think."
"Then you're gonna hate this!" Someone yelled above him before a leg slammed right into the side of his face, sending him flying into a building.
"Trunks move!" Goku yelled.
Trunks, who was standing in front of Kiela, looked at him then back at Kiela. She raised her head to glare at him before standing up, towering over Trunks, her fists clenched tightly. Trunks stepped back, his eyes wide. "Oh man, now what? I can't attack Kiela! She's, she's everything to me!" He thought. Even though Kiela stood over him, she made no move against him. He lifted an eyebrow at her in confusion. "What's going on? Why isn't she attacking"
Kiela's face twisted in pain. "T-Trunks... You've got to move... quick... I don't know... how much longer I can... stop myself..." She said, her voice was scratchier than before and it sounded strained.
"Kiela?" Trunks asked softly, taking a step forward but Kiela quickly took an uneasy step back, holding her head again and leaning against the wall.
"No... stay away! I don't want to hurt you... Please Trunks... Just kill my dad and... and this will all... be over... I promise..."
"But Kiela-"
Kiela shook her head, but it was hard to tell if it was from pain or not. "No Trunks... just go take care of him... I'll be... back on your side... in no time..."
Trunks paused, staring at Kiela's pain-streaked face, before nodding slowly. "Alright, we'll take him down, I promise."
She nodded slightly before falling to her knees again in pain, the blue gem glowing brightly. "Hurry and go... before I lose... control..."
Trunks nodded again before turning to Goku and Gohan who floated in the sky. "Come on! We have some business to take care of!" Gohan and Goku nodded at him before he quickly flew off in the direction where Paragus flew, Gohan and Goku following him.
Gohan stopped to look at Kiela for a second before he followed Trunks. "I just hope she'll be okay." He thought.
It didn't take long for the trio to find the building Paragus crashed into, the hole was big enough for a full grown elephant to walk through. The problem was finding that slippery snake. They didn't find any other holes that were big enough for him to squeeze through in the walls so they had no choice but to search the entire building.
"We should split up, we'd cover more ground that way." Gohan said as he looked down the hall leading to several other rooms.
Goku shook his head. "No, we need to stay together. If Kiela or Broly find one of us on our own then they would easily take us down one-by-one, and Paragus will definitely try something if we split up." Goku explained.
Gohan nodded. "Good thinking, what do you think Trunks?" Gohan looked for Trunks but he was gone. "Trunks?" He searched the room for him.
"He must've gone off to look for Paragus on his own." Goku said, looking around the room.
Gohan sighed and shook his head in disappointment. "Most likely, he'll do anything to save Kiela."
Goku nodded. "I've noticed, but I don't really know if that's a good or bad thing." He motioned for Gohan to follow him. "Come on, we should look for him, we'll have to keep an eye out for Paragus and either of the Legendary Super Saiyans."
"Lead the way." Goku and Gohan quickly ran down the hall, starting their search.
"Alright Paragus, where did you go?" Trunks thought out loud, keeping his voice quiet, as he stepped into a large room, probably a kitchen by the looks of it.
Dusty or destroy stoves, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, and cooking utensils laid strewn around the room in a big, dusty mess. He walked to a table that was still upright and picked up a large kitchen knife, examining it closely in the dim room. The blade was covered with rust and it looked like it was ready to crumble away, but at the same time, however, it looked sharp enough to pierce someone's flesh. If it could, it would leave a pretty nasty wound, and the rust would make it even worse.
Trunks put the knife back on the table and coughed from all the dust in the air and tried to fan it out of his face with his hand. "This place really needs a house maid or something." He coughed, barely able to breathe with all the dust in the air.
"You don't like it? I think it's perfect for suffocating my enemies." Someone said behind him.
He spun around, one arm over his nose and mouth to block any more dust from entering his lungs. "Paragus!" He growled, a scowl on his face.
Paragus, who leaned against the wall next to the door, smiled. "Yes, that's me." He said calmly.
"I'm not here to play games, I'm here for my friend."
Paragus laughed in amusement. "Kiela? You want to save her? Come on, you can't even save yourself. Not from me, and definitely not from her." The gem in his hand started to glow brightly and Kiela suddenly burst into the room from one of the walls, kicking up more dust.
Trunks blinked and couched a little more before speaking. "Kiela! Are you okay?" He asked.
Paragus grinned wickedly. "Kill him." He ordered. Kiela hesitated for a moment before walking towards Trunks, a small, light green energy blast forming in her hand.
"Kiela, don't do this!"
She threw the energy blast at Trunks but he quickly jumped out of the way, just missing the blast as it made a huge hole in the wall. He looked at Kiela just in time to see one of her legs swinging towards him. He jumped into the air to dodge it but a fist shoved right into the middle of his stomach, hard, making him cough up some blood and stumble backward. He stood in front of the hole the energy blast had made in the wall and kept his eyes on her.
"Okay, if I just keep my eyes on her, she won't be able to surprise me." He thought. That seemed like a good idea right? Wrong...
A loud "watch out!" echoed in the room somewhere right before something stung his back and sent him flying towards Kiela. She grinned and swung a fist towards him, hitting him square in the face. He flew backwards a little bit before someone caught him and jumped out of the room. He had to blink several times and shake his head to focus on the two faces staring down at him.
"Goku? Gohan? What happened?" He asked, sitting up.
"Well, Broly and Kiela pretty much teamed up against you. Broly would've nailed you and sent you flying back towards Kiela if we hadn't of found you." Goku explained.
Trunks stood up and wiped some blood from off his lip with his knuckle, blood dripped down from his forehead from when Kiela had punched him but he couldn't worry about that right now. "What? Broly? But then... where's Piccolo? And my father?"
Gohan shook his head. "We don't know yet, hopefully they're just unconscious or hiding somewhere." He said.
Trunks snickered. "Hiding? Yeah right, my dad doesn't hide from fights if you've forgotten about his pride."
Goku sighed and placed his hands on his hips. "Yeah that's Vegeta for you. He and Piccolo are probably knocked out somewhere, worst case scenario, they're dead." Goku said bluntly.
Trunks looked at him blankly. "Thanks... that makes me feel so much better..." Now that he looked at them, Goku and Gohan were pretty bloody too, their clothes were torn and cuts and grazes showed on their skin, blood dripping down from some of the cuts and grazes, and he didn't look so good either.
Gohan stifled a laugh. "We'll just have to look for them later, we still have to take care of Paragus."
"Yeah, not to mention that we now have two Legendary Super Saiyans to worry about." Goku added.
"But if we take Paragus down then we'll have only one Legendary Super Saiyan to deal with." Trunks pointed out.
They both looked at him. "That's true, but we won't be able to take him down if we try to take him down by ourselves, he's too smart for just one of us to take him on." Gohan told Trunks sternly, obviously referring to when Trunks went off to look for Paragus on his own.
Trunks sighed and looked down. "I understand, sorry Gohan." He said.
Goku placed a hand on Trunks' shoulder. "It's alright, people make mistakes sometimes. Just be glad that you didn't get killed in there." Goku told him.
Trunks looked at him. "Yeah, I guess." Goku nodded.
"You know," Gohan started, looking around the large room, a small hole in the floor from where he had flew through to save Trunks from Kiela and Broly. "I'm surprised that Broly and Kiela haven't found us yet." As if on cue, the wall next to them exploded into a million pieces and Broly burst into the room right next to Trunks, making him jump back close to Goku and Gohan. The wall behind them also exploded and Kiela burst into the room, Paragus right behind Kiela.
"You just had to say it, didn't you?" Trunks asked Gohan blankly.
Gohan glanced at Trunks over his shoulder with an irritated expression on his face. "Hey they were going to find us even if I didn't say that!" The three of them turned around so they were back-to-back.
"Never mind that, let's just deal with these three first." Goku said, Trunks and Gohan nodded at the same time, looking back at Kiela, Broly, and Paragus, and the three of them took fighting stances.
"Time to end this." Paragus said from behind Kiela. He pointed at the three of them. "Kill them!" He barked. A small energy ball formed in Broly's hand and Kiela took a step towards them. Before anyone could make a move however, the ceiling right behind Paragus collapsed and Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin dropped into the room. They looked pretty bloody as well. Paragus spun around to look at them and stepped back, Kiela and Broly stopped what they were doing to see what was up. "You two?! I thought Broly killed you!" Paragus growled, looking at Piccolo and Vegeta, but he didn't even bother looking at Krillin.
Vegeta smirked. "Yeah right, it'll take more than one 'Legendary Super Saiyan' to take me down." He said confidently.
Paragus grinned wickedly. "Well then, I have some good news for you Vegeta, I have two Legendary Super Saiyan here that'll be more than happy to finish you off."
Vegeta firmed his jaw and smiled. "Fine with me, just as long as they're both not as weak as the first one!"
"Vegeta what are you doing?! You can't take them both on at the same time!" Goku warned Vegeta.
Vegeta just looked at Goku and rolled his eyes. "That's what you think Kakarot, but you forget, I'm the Prince of all Saiyans!"
"It's more of a title don't you think?" Gohan whispered, a blank expression on his face.
Trunks sighed slowly and shook his head slightly. "Try explaining that to my father..."
Paragus laughed. "If you want to die that badly then I'll be happy to help! Kiela, kill this idiot now!" Kiela turned around to face Vegeta, towering over him. Vegeta braced himself, Piccolo did the same, but Krillin stepped back nervously.
"Uh, I think I'll just sit this one out..." Krillin mumbled. Broly chuckled and a small light green energy ball flew out of his open hand at shot straight towards Krillin. "Oh man..." He whined before the energy ball hit his stomach and sent him flying through the wall.
"Krillin!" Goku yelled, about to jump next to Vegeta.
But Broly grabbed his shirt before he could jump and threw him through a different wall. "I'm not done with you yet Kakarot." He growled, flying right through the wall to follow Goku.
"Dad! Trunks, stay here!" Gohan told Trunks before flying after Broly, leaving Trunks in the room with Kiela, Paragus, Vegeta, and Piccolo. Trunks looked at Piccolo and Vegeta. "I should help my father and Piccolo out with Kiela." He thought.
He was about to jump to Vegeta's side but stopped when he saw Piccolo motioning at him, it wasn't obvious so it was hard to make out what he was trying to tell Trunks. It looked like he was trying to motion towards Paragus. Trunks lifted an eyebrow and looked at Paragus, he wasn't even paying attention to him, he was too distracted by Vegeta's big talk that he wasn't paying attention to anything else. But why would that help them? He's just watching Vegeta and Kiela before they fight...
Trunks sighed slowly. "I am so blind..." He mumbled under his breath quietly. He looked at Piccolo and nodded in understandment.
Piccolo nodded back slightly then looked back at Kiela. "Well what are you waiting for? An invitation?" Piccolo growled.
Trunks froze, thinking that Piccolo was talking to him, but he thought otherwise when he saw Kiela tense up before she lunged at the two. She punched both of them in the face and through the wall, following them as they crashed into the next room.
Paragus laughed. "That's it! Kill them Kiela!" He cheered.
Trunks crept up behind him and exhaled quietly. "Here goes nothing!" He thought before lunging at Paragus, grabbing the wrist with the strange object wrapped around his hand.
"What the-? You?!" Paragus shouted in surprise, trying to shake Trunks off, but Trunks held on tight as he pulled on the object as hard as he could. "Let go of me right now!" Paragus growled in irritation.
"Now way! Not until you give me this thing!" Trunks replied, tugging on the object in Paragus' clenched fist.
Paragus gritted his teeth and threw a punch at Trunks, hitting him right in the face. Trunks fell back on his rear and shook his head, his hands clenched in a fist in front of him. He looked up at Paragus as he stood over Trunks, an open hand in front of Trunks' face. "Time to take care you once and for all..." He said, a smile on his lips.
Trunks smirked and opened his hands. "I don't think so Paragus."
The object that was wrapped around Paragus' hand was now nothing but a few broken pieces of metal and gem in Trunks' hands. "What?! How did..? Impossible!" Paragus stammered, taking several steps back and looking at the front and back of his hand where the object used to be.
Trunks stood up and glared at Paragus, a smile on his lips, before crushing the remaining pieces in his hands. "You really shouldn't underestimate you opponents Paragus."
A/N: This chapter took forever to type out, but I got it up, yay! Anyways, Trunks manages to: 1. get through to Kiela for a little bit, and 2. break the device Paragus was using to control Kiela with, but will that be enough? I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can.
