The wall next to Trunks and Paragus suddenly exploded, making Paragus practically jump through the roof. Vegeta crashed into the room and tumbled on the floor.
Trunks took a step towards him. "Father!" He said.
Vegeta stood up on shaky legs and scowled at Trunks. "Stay out of this!" He barked.
Trunks clenched his teeth together and turned around to look at Paragus and the hole in the wall next to him, Paragus slowly stepped back from the hole. Trunks glared at him. "Now what?" Trunks thought. The smoke cleared at Kiela stood in the opening of the hole. Trunks blinked in surprise and took a step towards her. "Kiela!" He said. There was no reply from her, she just stared at Trunks blankly, still in Legendary Super Saiyan form. "Did it work? Why is she still in Legendary Super Saiyan form?" Kiela hesitated for a second before the blue gem glowed faintly and she started to walk towards Trunks and Vegeta, her expression still blank.
"You didn't destroy that stupid bracelet thing yet?!" Vegeta growled at Trunks.
Trunks looked at him. "I did, but something's wrong!" Trunks said.
Vegeta scoffed. "Like that's so hard to see." He said as he wiped some blood off his lip with his knuckle. He glared at Trunks. "If she doesn't snap out of this soon then I will kill her without a second thought!"
"What? No way! She's my-" Trunks started to protest.
"Your what? Your friend? Hah! As if. If she was your friend then she wouldn't be trying to kill you right now." Vegeta snapped, cutting Trunks off in midsentence.
Trunks tsked and looked back at Kiela as she walked towards the two, the distance between them closing fast. "Come on Kiela, I know you're still in there." He thought again, but Kiela didn't stop. She eventually got so close that Trunks had to jump out of her way to avoid getting hit by one of her attacks, but Vegeta didn't budge, he just stood there motionless in a fighting stance. "Father move!" Trunks yelled.
Vegeta looked at him and smirked. "Yeah right. I'm not going anywhere until this Saiyan is taken down." Vegeta replied.
"But father-"
Vegeta turned to face Trunks. "Shut up and don't get in my way-" Vegeta interrupted Trunks, but he was also stopped in midsentence when two arms suddenly wrapped around his stomach from behind. He started to struggle to get free but his arms were trapped underneath the arms that were wrapped around him. "Let go of me!" He roared. A slight chuckle sounded behind him before the arms started to tighten around him and started to squeeze him. He cried out in pain as the arms around him tightened and started to crush his ribs.
"Kiela stop!" Trunks said frantically.
He ran up to Kiela and grabbed one of her arms and pulled on it, trying to pry her off Vegeta, but she just removed one arm, giving Vegeta a slight chance to breathe, and swatted Trunks away like he was a fly before wrapping her arm around Vegeta again and crushing. Trunks fell back on his rear and looked at Vegeta, even though his back was facing Trunks, it was obvious that he was struggling to breathe, in fact, he was starting to cough up blood. Trunks quickly jumped to his feet and ran up to Kiela again, tugging on her arm again, but even harder than last time.
"Kiela please you've got to stop!" He said again.
The slightest of glass cracking reached Trunks' ears. He looked around for the source but couldn't find anything. Another crack reached his ears, this time a little louder. Vegeta's screams of pain started to fade and Trunks could feel Kiela's grip around him loosening. A bright blue glow caught Trunks' eye before an even louder crack sounded and something small hit his cheek. He looked at the source of the glow, the gem in the necklace around Kiela's neck glowed incredibly bright and a large crack had formed in the middle. It grew bigger and bigger and started to branch out to the rest of the gem, small pieces starting to break and fall off.
"What in the world?" He murmured softly.
The suddenly gem split completely in half and the two fragments fell to the floor, breaking into a million small pieces on impact. Trunks looked at Kiela, trying to see any changes. Her expression suddenly softened and her body shrank in size, her pitch black pupils returning and her hair returning to its black color. Vegeta broke free from her grip before she started to fall back, her eyes closed.
"Kiela!" Trunks said, catching her in mid-fall.
A/N: Shorter chapter this time because Kiela finally managed to break free from Paragus' control, yay! The next one is gonna be longer and will definitely have more action, so I'll post it as soon as I can!
