Supergirl Z: The Growth and Maturation of a Superhero
Disclaimer: "Hi there everyone! This is good ol Master Roshi here to tell you superspeeder doesn't own Supergirl or DragonBall; they are the properties of the respective owners. Please support the official release. now where are my dirty magazines?
Me: Sage How did you guess what I was going to do? Yes, Beerus/Whis and other deities will be in this story (and they will play a very vital role in the next few chapters and when the first season of Supergirl ends). As for your second question, Kara and Trunks will be teaming up with other saiyans but not to fight Astra in the winter finale (I got my own twist on that based on what I've been reading about Astra's revelation about Kara's mother to her). Stay tuned to how Kara intact with other saiyans as they are also extremely important to my story.
Guest: Dialog will be "" from now on; as for Mr. Satan, you have to remember that he was affected by his daughter ditching her engagement to the king of the world (SPOILER ALERT ITS SHARPNER) for a guy who's father (in Satan's mind) is a weakling. As such he disinherited Videl as his daughter and explains why he views Pan as a bastard child. Now this doesn't mean I hate Hercule (in fact he's one of my favorite human characters in dragon ball), but in this story he's one of those characters that can't be redeemed. However, Pan (and some other characters) will have a drastic change in how they see Hercule. How that will happen will be revealed in the coming chapters so stay tuned.
Last time on Supergirl Z, both Kara and Trunks were reeling from Eliza's big secrets about Kara's father's disappearance which resulted in Kara wanting to "prove" that she could be trusted. However, the result was a disaster as Kara was so angry she didn't hear the stand down order and to make it worse it's another android by the name of Red Tornado! When Trunks found out he vowed to eliminate the new threat. Will he make good on his promise? How will he interact with Kara and how will Pan react when she finds out this threat is an android? FIND OUT NOW ON SUPERGIRL Z!
Chapter 7- Twisted emotions p. 2
Trunks flew quickly with the detonator/android radar to try and find the new threat; he knew from experience the damage that androids 17, 18 and Cell did to his time as well as the other timeline so he was worried about what this new android could do. However as Supergirl had made Red Tornado flee when she saved Jimmy and Lucy Lane, Trunks couldn't find the android anywhere. He growled in frustration, and had to grit his teeth several times in order to keep his temper cool, but then he saw Kara on a bench looking rather despondent. She looked really miserable and despite Trunks' problems with her knowledge of his secrets his saiyan side urged him to 'comfort your woman brat she needs our help'. Deciding to listen to his saiyan half, Trunks quickly descended to the sidewalk and gently touched Kara's shoulder which made her jump in surprise. "TRUNKS what are you doing here, you scared me half to death" Kara said in a started tone; in fact she was so startled that she jumped straight into Trunks arms(which caused the hybrid a considerable amount of embarrassment).
He blushed a bright red and gently set the girl down "um I'm looking for a new threat maybe you heard of him, he calls himself Red Tornado" he said. Kara looked at Trunks glumly and said "yes Alex told me what happened between Supergirl and Tornado; everyone blames her for setting him loose on the city." Trunks was surprised and reasoned "if Tornado is causing destruction, it's on him and his creator not Supergirl." Kara felt a bit reassured that the hybrid wasn't going to pile on to what Lord and Sam Lane said but she said "yes I agree, but if it wasn't for Supergirl losing her control that wouldn't have happened in the first place." Trunks grew quiet at that comment and felt bad since this was the burden Gohan had to face all the time both in this universe and the one he had left. Kara saw that Trunks wasn't commenting and gathering her courage she asked the hybrid "did you ever feel like you wanted to break something in half? Did you ever feel like everything was spinning out of control but you can't do anything about it, because the minute you do, you will get criticized?" "I have Kara many times"; "well that's the way I feel Trunks". Did Alex ever encourage you to get out your anger"; "no" she replied Cat did but girls mostly are encouraged to smile and keeping it on the inside". "You can't keep doing that Kara; you'll eventually explode if you keep your anger in" Trunks told her; I..tried getting out my anger out but I only discovered one thing". "What's that?" he asked; "that Cat was right; there is anger behind the anger. I hate how my emotions get the best of me! (Supergirl episode 6 "Red Faced") Trunks felt Kara's pain and took a moment to empathize with her before he replied "You may think your emotions are the thing that makes you weak but in actuality your emotions make you stronger". "How can your emotions make you stronger? Supergirl lost control of her emotions and she scared the people that she vows to protect" Kara asked curiously. "Trust me when I say that emotions make you stronger. One of my greatest allies and friend once said to "use the pain of loss"[9]; that's the way I live my life" Trunks stated remembering the conversation Kid Gohan told him in the aftermath of the Cell Games how he used his emotions to fuel his transformation into a Super-Saiyan 2 and it making him stronger than Cell.
Kara was comforted by Trunks' words, and wondered(not for the first time) what the hybrid went through that he gained so much wisdom; Trunks suddenly felt the need to ask "Kara..I don't want to pry..but why are you angry? Is it related to what happened to Supergirl?" "Yes...and no" she replied carefully; "I don't understand" Trunks stated in a miffed tone. "I was angry because of James and his girlfriend"; "I didn't know he had a girlfriend" the saiyan replied in a surprised tone. "Yea..her name is Lucy Lane.. Lois Lane's kid sister..James and her were an item when they were in Metropolis". "What happened?" he asked Kara; "they broke up and James moved here..but the week after I met you I found the two of them at Catco...James said that she was his ex". "Did she come to where you work to win him back?" Trunks asked; Kara was surprised that he was able to discern Lucy's intentions so easily and she replied "yes..and I must confess that I helped in that department. Lucy came to me and asked if James was seeing anyone to which I answered no. She then told me that she saw Supergirl and James working together at the Reactron fight..". "You don't need to say more" Trunks interrupted stopping her "she presumed that if James and Supergirl were working together that they were also dating". "How did you.."; "Gohan was in a similar spot" the saiyan said answering her but then asked "but I still don't get why you're frustrated". "Well Lucy works for the military..actually she's General Lane's daughter"; "and it was her that made Supergirl accept the challenge to fight Red Tornado?" Trunks asked. ..."Yes..and seeing James and Lucy makes me think that I'm never going to have what those two have. Someone who knows everything about me; my perfect partner at a game night"(Supergirl episode 6 "Red Faced"). 'I feel the same way Kara" the hybrid thought but decided to try and cheer her up by saying "you'll find someone Kara; in fact you wanna know something?" "What?" the Kryptonian asked; "in her youth my mother wanted to find the perfect boyfriend". "Really? What happened?" she asked back intrigued; "she found him alright in the most...unexpected way" Trunks mused remanicing about the good old days. "Mom was able to find her happy ever after and so will you..Kara". "What about Supergirl..what if she loses her temper again?" the Maid of Might asked the saiyan who she was beginning to feel fond about.
Trunks pondered her question and suddenly said "if Supergirl and mom agrees with this, she will have better control over her emotions." "What is your idea? I'm pretty sure if Supergirl was here, she would take a listen to it" Kara said. "If Supergirl trusts me, then tell her to meet me at Capsule Corps in an hour; I'll tell mom to lead her straight to where I have in mind" Trunks replied hoping the super-hero would trust him. Kara nodded and said "Supergirl trusts you with her life Trunks and believe me, that's something only my sister and Superman himself has the honor of having that distinction. I promise you that she'll be there." Even though Kara was a little embarrassed of admitting that she valued Trunks that highly, she felt a total level of trust in the hybrid that could only be explained by the "bond" that the two were unknowingly forming with each other. Trunks had to hide the blush forming on his face, but he felt reassured that the Girl of Steel hadn't thought any less of him because of his background and flew back to Capsule Corp. Once there he told Bulma "mom I need a favor, Supergirl's lack of control caused that android to be unleashed on the city";"what? Supergirl's responsible for this? I never thought she could lose control like saiyans can" Bulma said in a surprised tone. "Well she did and I need to use the GR to help her control" he replied; "you know you're father would disapprove anyone who uses his GR other than yourself, Pan, and -on special occasions- Bulla and Gohan" Bulma replied shaking her head. "That's why I'm not planning to use Dad's GR" Trunks replied hoping that his mother would get the hint; she did and couldn't help but smirk before she replied(in a teasing tone) "OH! I get it you want to use the GR I gave you for your birthday so you could have some "alone time" with a smoking hot superhero." Even though everyone knew Bulma had a lot of arguments with Vegeta over the GR, it was in one such "argument" that Bulla was conceived, and since she was grateful for that, the scientist couldn't help but tease her son that the same "experience" would happen between him and Supergirl. (Author's note when I talk about Bulma's "argument" with Vegeta it's called foreplay. You guys -who are old enough- knows what I'm really getting at when I say "argument" and "alone time" which is why this story is rated "T" for teenagers or older. Ok that ends my PSA announcement back to the story)
Trunks blushed a bright red and quickly stated "MOM PLEASE NOT THIS ABOUT GRANDCHILDREN AGAIN, YOU'RE BECOMING EXACTLY LIKE CHI-CHI;""OH SO YOU DO YOU LIKE HER WELL THAT'S PROGRESS; AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO DENY IT LIKE LAST TIME" Bulma replied in an excited tone. Bulma's screams attracted Bulla's attention and she came from her room and sang "BIG BROTHER AND SUPERGIRL SITTING IN THE GR, MAKING SUPERGIRL SCREAM OUT HARD." "BULLA IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! SUPERGIRL IS NOT INTERESTED IN ME, BESIDES YOU KNOW THAT SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT DAD GOKU AND THE Z FIGHTERS; WHAT WILL SHE THINK WHEN SHE FINDS OUT I'M HALF ALIEN? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT SHE'LL THINK BULLA: IT'LL DRIVE HER AWAY; I'LL DRIVE HER AWAY!" Trunks replied screaming the last half of his statement. Bulma was so angry she slapped her son in the face and stated angrily "Trunks, nothing about Supergirl screams "normal" either, you're father said something about "kryptonians". I don't know what he means or what a kryptonian is and I've had my fair share of alien interactions with you father, Goku and Frieza when the last two were still alive. All I'm saying is that we don't know the origins of Supergirl's powers and it's something you must find out before diving into a relationship whether you deny your feelings for her or not." "Wow mom, I never seen you hit Trunks before, remind me not to cross you when boys want to date me" Bulla joked. Trunks grumbled "it's not mom you have to worry about, its dad; he'll kill anyone who dares to date his "little princess" you know he has a soft spot for you". "You got that right Trunks" Bulma laughed; he then apologized "I'm sorry I went on like that mom you're right; I don't know about Supergirl's heritage or about Kara for that matter. She said that she wished for someone to know everything about her but to me Kara has a normal life". "Exactly Trunks so who are you to judge right"; "I would ask Kara why she said what she said but right now, we have another android to deal with and I don't want that creep anywhere her." Bulma nodded and after apologized for slapping her son (as well as reproving Bulla for teasing Trunks) she gave him her approval to Trunks' plan. After the argument ended, Trunks waited for Supergirl to show up in the GR; currently he was meditating the way Gohan had taught him years earlier to relieve his anger and stress. Meanwhile, Morrow wanted revenge on Gen. Lane for undercutting and undermining his efforts to control Red Tornado, so he along with Alex's and Lord's help, plotted a scheme to draw Red Tornado out of hiding using a holographic image of the General. Kara had no idea this was happening under her nose (so to speak) as she was focused on what Trunks' plan was to get out her rage; flying off as Supergirl she quickly arrived at CC where security was waiting. Even though Supergirl had a rough experience with them last time(albeit as Kara Danvers), Bulma gave them explicit orders to allow the hero through, so she met with little resistance this time around. Supergirl was about to use her powers to locate Trunks, but she was met by Bulma with both Gohan and Bulla in tow (as well as Pan who was unknowingly lurking around trying to find out what was going on with the Girl of Steel).
"Hello Supergirl it's a pleasure to finally meet you my son talks about you a lot. Oh please excuse my manners, this is my daughter Bulla and my Godson/family friend Gohan" Bulma said politely. Bulla squealed in excitement and hugged Supergirl tighter than she did when she met Kara and said to her "Thanks for the autograph Supergirl! I absolutely adore you! You remind me of Ms. Chi-Chi before she died". Supergirl smiled and wondered who this "Chi-Chi" was but Gohan interrupted her thoughts by saying "Don't mind Bulla she tends to get overexcited when she has too much sugar; she's right in saying that you remind her of my mom though. Anyway I'm Gohan and I was Trunks' mentor;it's nice to finally meet the hero who Trunks has a thing for." Supergirl blushed so hard she thought her face would be as red as her cape and mumbled "I didn't think Trunks would have a thing for me or that you were his mentor Gohan"; they all laughed and Bulma said "oh yea he definitely likes you. If you want my opinion you should open your heart to my son and tell him your secrets." Supergirl's eyes widened with worry praying that Trunks hadn't discovered her dual identity but seeing her worry Gohan said "don't worry, if you want to tell him about your secrets, then it's your decision to make, we don't know about your heritage although Vegeta's always ranting something about "THOSE DAMN KRYPTONIANS" when we spar."
"You're damn right about that brat" came the gravely voice of the saiyan prince himself; "I came to see what the ruckus is all about and I find out that an android is loose in the middle of my spar. Now I learn that she lost her temper because she resents what a fraudulent general and that bozo millionaire had said about losing control. I should've expected that from Gohan or that Kryptonian cousin of hers but then again, I didn't think she was capable of experiencing such emotions" he stated angrily. Supergirl had to hold her rage in as Bulma angrily said "what do you mean you 'expected that from her kryptonian cousin'; what the hell are kryptonians and how does Supergirl or her cousin have anything to do with it?" "WOMAN I DON'T WISH TO DISCUSS THIS! SHE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AFTER ALL HER, SHE IS THE EXACT REPLICA OF HER MOTHER; I'M GOING TO TRAIN DON'T YOU OR TRUNKS DARE TO INTERRUPT" Vegeta roared and stormed away angrily cursing as he did. Gohan sheepishly scratched his head and said "don't mind Vegeta Supergirl, he's always like this with everyone he meets. He's kind of obsessed when it comes to his superiority over others so you have to take what he says in stride." "Yea but Daddy ever had a bad word to say about other races is when he talks about "human foolishness" so I find it kind of strange that he's obsessed over these 'kryptonians'" Bulla said to which Bulma agreed but decided to take Supergirl to Trunks to avoid any more problems. Supergirl was angrier than ever thanks to Vegeta's words, and she wondered of the connections of this mysterious man, her family (in particular her mom Allura and her cousin) and her native Krypton. She had no time to think on these things as Bulma brought her to a large ship and knocked on the door; Trunks answered and greeted Supergirl with a gentle smile. "Hey Supergirl, I'm glad that you trusted me to agree to my idea, with my help we will get your anger under control" he said. Supergirl nodded and said "like Kara said, I trust you with my life Trunks, and I hope that your idea works." Bulma smiled at this interaction and thought to herself 'Trunks allowing Supergirl to use his GR is something only a true bond between a saiyan and his wife could achieve. Yes you will be a good wife for my son Supergirl, but Trunks is exactly like his father which means you have to make the first move if you want to nab him before anyone else'. Clearing her throat Bulma said "well I'll leave you to alone to go about your business I'll call if anything should come up."
Trunks watched as his mother left him and the super-hero alone on the other hand Supergirl had many thoughts and was a bit shy at being in his presence but she did want to know what was the place Bulma had led her to so she asked. "Trunks what does that spaceship have anything to do with your big idea?" she said curiously; "that 'spaceship' is not a spaceship it's a Gravity Machine" he replied. Supergirl explored the machine and was impressed by the handiwork that Bulma had put into the invention; even though she was very familiar with a spaceship, she was curious about this machine. "What does it do? How does it work? Who invented such a device and how did you get one" she asked all at once. "Whoa one at a time Supergirl" Trunks said waving his hands nervously "this machine works by amplifying the gravity of the environment around the individual. The gravity device can go up to 450x the force of Earth's gravity [10] although my mom is working on getting it up to 1000x gravity. She remolded an older model for my father a long time ago, and she created another one for my own training as a birthday gift, so that's how I got one" Trunks said. Kara's mouth dropped in shock 'how the hell does a human survive under that much gravity; I mean sure me and my cousin can survive if we were put under that much gravitational stress, but Trunks is a human! How can he and his dad survive under that much strain?' she thought. However, she was more curious about Trunks' birthday comment and couldn't help but ask "you got that as a birthday gift exactly how old are you anyway was it a big birthday? [11]" "Uhm if you're talking about my actual age I just turned 26, but physically speaking I'm roughly 28 due to the training I did to protect the Earth[12]" Trunks replied a bit cheekily. Supergirl was surprised and said "you don't look like your 26; if you bumped into me on the street I would put you as no older than a 23 year old man." "Its genetics; mom doesn't look a day over 50 and she so I hope I don't 's been through a lot, as for dad well let's just say that I hope I don't grow a mustache [13]; Bulla told him that he looked like a geek with it [14] Trunks explained laughing at the memory of Bulla telling Vegeta he looked like a geek.
They both laughed at the saiyan prince's embarrassment but Trunks decided to end the "getting to know you talk" and get down to business in reigning in Supergirl's anger. Walking over to the computer he said to Supergirl "before we can begin I must warn you that this equipment is rather sensitive so don't touch it unless I say so OK? Also if you feel like you can't continue, tell me and I will shut down the gravitation." The hero looked at the hybrid and nodded 'ok' but she was still worried about Trunks' safety and asked "I'm worried that this machine will squash you like a bug; it's not possible that a human could survive under the gravitational force." Trunks understood and appreciated her concern for his safety (which fondly reminded the saiyan of his own mother), but he told her "You won't have to worry about my safety; believe it or not what this machine cranks out is nothing in comparison to what I faced in terms of both training and gravity"; he stated remembering the times that he trained in the HTC to get stronger for both the androids and the Cell Games. The hero was still worried but decided to trust Trunks; this was his chamber and she was his guest so she knew from experience that she had to be polite.
Turning to the computer Trunks decided to ease the kryptonian to the style of training he and his family were used to and said "SET GRAVITY TO 10X EARTH". The reason he started at 10x were twofold; first it was the gravity that Goku had to master under the watch of King Kai as well as being purely symbolic(as this was the gravity of his father's home world Planet Vegeta). The computer responded (in a very Bulma like matter) "Setting gravity to 10 times to that of Earth; where do you want the simulation to occur Trunks Briefs?" Trunks asked Supergirl about it to which she replied "I'm fine with a deserted place; somewhere I can unleash my powers without hurting the surrounding landscape." Trunks agreed and said "computer set landscape to the Gizard Wastleland(the place where his father and Goku had their battle), engage robot training." "Simulating to Gizard Wasteland; robots ready for combat. DANGER! DEMOLITION SIMULATION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN ALL UNAUTHORIZED PERSONAL ARE ADVISED TO CLEAR OUT!"(A/N Yugioh 5D's reference) the computer stated in a warning tone. Robots surrounded Supergirl and asked "what do you want me to do with these robots Trunks"; he replied coldly "simple: destroy them; they will keep on coming and you will keep on fighting until they're gone. This is one method I use to dissipate my rage and anger so if it helps me it'll help you are we clear?"
Supergirl wasted no time in following Trunks' order and demolished row after row of robots using all of her powers. Her punching/kicking strength, heat vision, and freeze breath she used everything that her powers afforded her under the yellow sun. Trunks was impressed that Supergirl dealt with 10x so easily and figured that it must be her powers that made it so easy; so he decided to up the gravity to 50x that of Earth's gravity. Supergirl felt no effects of the increased gravity (although she began to worry about Trunks under 50x Earth's gravity) and continued to demolish those robots. 'Wow she makes 50x gravity look like a cakewalk, I wonder if she can deal with the gravitational strength Goku faced when he went to Namek?' he thought and shouted "hey Supergirl, I'm going to increase the gravity to 100x that of Earth, are you sure you can handle it?" Supergirl shouted back "yes but you should get out of here if you increase the gravity again you'll be crushed"; "I told you don't worry I'll be fine, in fact I'm going to step your spar up a notch, COMPUTER SIMULATE ENERGY PROJECTION BEAMS!" The computer complied and Supergirl saw that she was surrounded by small pods that had a signal inside; "What's the purpose of this exercise" she asked. "This tests your reflexes and endurance; mess up once and you'll get knocked to the ground by the laser. Trust me you don't want to be on the receiving end of one of those lasers" he said remembering the various injuries he, Vegeta, and Gohan had received thanks to the lasers. Supergirl nodded and quickly dodged the laser attacks; thanks to her frequent spars with Alex, she was somewhat familiar with how to dodge enemy attacks and used that knowledge to evade and click the buttons she needed to click.
Unbeknownst to the krytonian, Trunks was dealing with a battle with his saiyan half within the confines of his mind. "You're woman can handle 100x Gravity brat; you're being soft with her! Test her to find out if she could handle the full force of this room so that you will see that she is powerful enough to handle a super-saiyan." Trunks screamed back "no I refuse to raise the damn gravity any more. Sure she may be strong, but she's not a saiyan; the gravity will crush her." The mental battle as well as the force of the GR took a toll on the hybrid and he began to experience something that could be categorized as "out of this world." In this "experience", Trunks saw a fat cat like being with a necklace around him; along with him was an older woman who was clearly(although he didn't know her identity) Supergirl's mother Allura! "Son of Vegeta don't be afraid of raising the gravity simply because you have feelings for my daughter" Allura said. The cat like being agreed and stated, "Yes, let her prove that she is capable of handling a being such as yourself." Trunks was confused and asked "who are you and what do you want with Supergirl? More importantly how do you know my father? Supergirl's mother is alive so forgive me if I can't trust either of you". Allura shook her head and said "so much you must learn son of Vegeta of my daughter's heritage and so little time, but if you want answers ask your father." Trunks was so shocked by that statement that he didn't have control over his body and screamed "COMPUTER INCREASE GRAVITY TO 450X EARTH'S GRAVITY". Supergirl realized the danger to Trunks' life to late as the gravity increase to its maximum, but instead of it crushing Trunks like she feared, she saw Trunks transform into a Super-Saiyan before her very eyes! Supergirl was startled by the transformation and thought 'so that's how he turns gold! Maybe Winn was correct when he said "something about Trunks screamed alien'" to me."
However the kryptonian was overjoyed that he was alive and said "Trunks that's enough, you can reset the gravity to zero, but instead of Trunks deep voice(as a Suprt) she heard a voice foreign to her. "Ah Supergirl we meet at last! I've been watching you for some time now, and you intrigue me in terms of your strength. I have temporally created a mental link to speak with you KARA DANVERS!" he said. "How do you know my name, and my identity? Who are you and why have you taken over my friend's mind" she screamed. The possessed Trunks laughed and said "you will learn my name at a later date, as for how I know your background let's just say that I'm a higher being you and your friend don't want to cross least I decide to destroy this world." "You won't destroy anything, I'll make sure of that, and as soon as you release my friend Trunks will make sure of that as well" the kryptonian coldly replied. "Relax Kara Zor-El I'm not going to destroy anything not today at least besides I want some delicious food. We'll meet again but until we do I have one piece of advice for you: when you deal with this robot wanna be and your delinquent aunt, ask your boyfriend if he knows about the legend of the Super-Saiyan God!" he replied and released Trunks from his mind control. Supergirl was frightened by her conversation, but decided to keep it secret from Trunks, but she did decide to ask her mother about this so called "Super-Saiyan God" "Trunks are you ok what happened" she asked; Trunks shook himself to clear his mind; he had no idea what had happened that caused his "experience" or who the woman who called herself "Supergirl's mom" and the cat being were and decided to keep that a secret as well. However, he was going to ask his father after they dealt with Red Tornado. He replied "I'm fine but I think I was being controlled by some being. I've trained to shield myself from mental assults on my mind, but this being was too strong so I must've blacked out. Computer reset gravity!" he explained and reset the gravity to normal. Kara was worried about Trunks' mental stability but she was interrupted by a video-call by Bulma.
"TRUNKS TORNADO SHOWED HIMSELF IN NATIONAL CITY, TAKE SUPERGIRL AND THE REMOTE TRACKING DEVICE AND DESTROY HIM" Bulma said explaining what was going on. Trunks nodded and stated "looks like we have a job to do"; but Supergirl asked "you sure you can handle this android in your mental state?" "I'll be fine Supergirl, worry about the safety of the people you want to protect. Use their pain to fuel your power!" he said and took off with the kryptonian to get the device. Unbeknownst to either of them, Pan was spying on Trunks' GR (As she knew about the no stranger rule) and felt the distressed Ki of Supergirl when Trunks' mind was invaded. Even though she couldn't go in there due to her respect for Supergirl, she followed both of them to find out what was truly going on. So she overheard the new threat of Red Tornado (even though Bulma decided to shorten the conversation telling them "deal with this creep; he doesn't deserve to live") so Pan didn't know that Tornado was an android. Flying quickly, they both confronted the android together in National City. As with Supergirl, Tornado identified his enemy: "Identity: Trunks Briefs; Powers: Ki sensing and manipulation, ability to raise battle strength, Zenkai Boost and Swordsman. Subject can transform into a SSJ and Super-Saiyan 2 if necessary. Species: Mixed; 50% human 50% Saiyan DNA detected in subject" he stated in his usual robotic tone. "You remind me of 2 androids my father and his friends destroyed a long time ago with your ability to know my powers" Trunks seethed remembering all too well the encounters Vegeta and the Z warriors had with Androids 19 and 20. "Indeed, I was designed to not only destroy kryptonians such as Kara but also monkeys like yourself" RT said trying to rile the saiyain up at the mention of the derogatory word Frieza had used against his father, Goku and Gohan. It got the reaction he desired, as Trunks growled but he refrained from attacking by Supergirl's interruption "wait a minute what do you mean? Alex told me that you were designed to kill Kryptonians but why do you want to kill him? He did nothing to you!". "That may be so krytonian but my creator was inspired by a man named Dr. Gero! Does the words 17, 18, and Cell ring a bell monkey?" the android replied asking Trunks that question.
"Damn it, even in death, that bastard mocks me" he growled angrily, "I'll take that answer as 'yes'" the android said with a smirk. Supergirl watched the conversation and was reeling from all of the information she had learned over the last few weeks and hours. First Trunks' mind was taken over and a strange being communicated that he was "watching Supergirl's development" and the "Super-Saiyan god". Then the android revealed his creator Dr. Morrow was inspired by a guy named Gero(who she never even heard of from her sister or her human co-workers) and finally Trunks' anger over the mention of 17, 18, and Cell's name. All this while Supergirl wondered about the disappearance of her adoptive father Jeremiah and the origins of these 'saiyans' and you have one confused and angry superhero. However, as she was to find out things were about to get far worse and confusing as Pan arrived on the battlefield. "Target Identified as Pan Son; powers: Ki sensing, and manipulation, ability to raise battle strength, and Zenkai Boost. Subject can transform into a SSJ if necessary; species: Mixed; 75% human 25% Saiyan DNA detected in subject"Red Tornado deadpanned identifying Pan. "Pan what the hell are you doing here it's not safe" Trunks yelled; "I want some answers on why you insisted that I not go off and fight when we sparred" Pan replied. "Pan perhaps you don't know what I am, I'm pretty sure your monkey friend hasn't told you but I am an Android my name is Red Tornado" the villain stated vehemently. "ANDROID! YOU ANDROIDS DESTROYED MOST OF THE WORLD AND KILLED MY FATHER GOHAN AND TRUNKS AS WELL AS ME NOT KNOWING WHO THE HELL MY MOTHER IS AS EVERYONE REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT HER. MY LIFE HAS BEEN RUINED BY YOU ANDROIDS AND I'M SICK OF IT" Pan spat getting infuriated at this revelation.
Supergirl was baffled once again 'androids killed Trunks and Gohan? How I saw Gohan alive and well and Trunks doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon. How can someone come back to life? It's not possible!' she thought. However her thoughts were interrupted by Pan: "Supergirl help me execute judgment on this bastard since he helped ruin my life and has impacted your life as well." Supergirl was about to respond when Alex called the hero on the phone and told her that the only way Tornado could be destroyed was to kill Morrow. Seeing that Pan wouldn't be talked out of not killing Red Tornado, he decided to take Morrow out. He quickly knocked out the Gero wanna be with a chop block to the neck (in a very Beerus' like fashion); however he decided to let Alex deal the killing blow to the scientist who had endangered both his family and Supergirl's. He could only comfort Alex over her killing a human being and worry about Pan. "Supergirl on my signal fire your heat vision, I'll use an energy technique of my own to kill this android" she said in an authoritative voice which surprised the krytonian as to how much authority the pre-teen hybrid could portray but she agreed and began to focus on all of the events of the last few weeks and hours to fuel her rage. Meanwhile Pan dropped into the infamous turtle hermit stance to perform the move her grandfather Goku had learned so many years ago, and had subsequently perfected and passed down to her father Gohan(who had his own spin on the technique).
She knew that it was only fitting that the technique her father used against Cell was the attack she would use to achieve justice for all the wrongs the androids did. "SUPERGIRL FIRE YOUR HEAT VISION NOW; THIS THE END OF THE LINE FOR YOU ANDROID YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE AND I HOPE YOU GET THE PUNISHMENT YOU DESERVE FOR ALL ETERNITY. KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAA!" Pan screamed and upon hearing Pan's attack named, Supergirl fired her heat vision. The two deadly attacks combined together (although Pan's attack was stronger due to her training and mastery of the turtle hermit wave) and hit Tornado head on. Supergirl marveled at the strength and power of Pan's Kamehameha wave and wondered how that technique worked. However, she was so fueled by her rage, that she began to put more of her power towards her heat vision; seeing that Supergirl increased her heat vision, Pan also increased the power of her Kamehameha. The power of the attack overwhelmed and destroyed Red Tornado; however the recoil damage also hurt both Supergirl and Pan. Unbeknownst to the Kryptonian, Supergirl had overloaded herself thanks to the combined attack, and it began the toxic process of rendering the hero "human" for a day.
However, she didn't notice that at first because she was grateful for Pan and Trunks' help' "thanks Pan that must've the hardest thing you ever did" she said comforting the hybrid female. Pan sniffled and tearfully confessed "it's the first time I ever killed another being but I'm glad because it means that all the nightmares of my past are over and I can truly move on to the future." Trunks agreed with Pan but stated "you do realize what you father will do to me when he finds out his daughter was in a battle and that she had to murder someone. However, I'm not angry at you now(I was before), because you got justice for your family; I'm proud of you Pan" and hugged her. Supergirl tearfully watched their embrace and secretly longed that she would experience the joys of motherhood for moments like this; 'but alas this will never be; he's human I'm Kryptonian, mother told me that such a union between the two is impossible so I'll never experience what it's like to be a mom Besides I could never tell him that I am alien it might freak him out' she thought sadly and flew off. After transforming back into Kara she helped Cat's mom get out of the city because she had demeaned her but Cat came to her defense. However, upon trying to get her boss a glass of Advil(and it shattered) Kara cut her finger and realized with shock that this was the first time she had ever bled in her life. Kara was nervously curious about what life would be like as a human and what crazy adventures lay in store for her as well as continue to wonder about Trunks (who Kara now had to admit to herself that Winn was right) could be an alien like herself and Superman…End Chapter
OUTTRO: Hey there its me Alex and next time on Dragon Girl Z, Kara 's powers are malfunctioning, maybe her mom has the answer on how to regain it? She also wants to know about the saiyans; looks like Allura and a certain director are uncomfortable with Kara's questions. Oh did I mention that there's a rogue Kryptonian on the loose inside HQ and that National City is falling apart without Supergirl? Our only hope is that Trunks can help my sister regain her powers …find out what happens next time!
Author's note: my goodness 14 pages of sweat and blood (figuratively speaking) but I must admit it was worth the effort. I guess this is going to be a regular feature of mine from now on, the first part of the featured Supergirl episode will feature Kara and her interactions with her friends and Trunks with his family and friends. The second (and longer part) will be Kara/Supergirl's and Trunks interaction as well as the "Villain of the Week." SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ PAST THIS IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED DRAGON BALL SUPER/RESURRECTION F MOVIE. WE NOW HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN RESURRECTION F ARC IS GOING TO END AND ITS GOING TO BE 4 WEEKS FROM NOW; FURTHERMORE WE NOW KNOW WHO THE HECK IS GOING TO BE ON UNIVERSE 6'S TEAM AS WELL AS THE MYSTERY WARRIOR OF UNIVERSE 7(THAT BEERUS SAID WAS HIS FAVORITE FIGHT-GOKU BEING HIS 2ND FAVORITE) . HOWEVER, FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE WHO DON'T WATCH-AS WELL AS FOR MY STORY AS IT DEVELOPS –(SORRY SAGE!) I WILL NOT(I REPEAT)WILL NOT SPOIL ANYTHING! TIL THEN GET HYPED FOR SUPER AND UNIVERSE 6! IT'S REAL!
REFERENCES: HOLY COW I MADE A RECORD 14 REFERENCES IN THESE TWO CHAPTERS CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! ANYWHO HERE THEY ARE IN ORDER! [1] is actually a Piccolo quote (shout out to Quaaman's land he's a big Piccolo fan), to the Z warriors when he found out about the android threat [2] The JLA(Justice League of America for those who don't know), Lex Luthor and even Supergirl have called Superman a Boy Scout due to his all American values so if they call the Man of Steel a boy scout then it makes sense for Lucy to call the girl of steel a girl-scout NUFF SAID! [3] Once again I used Vegeta's quote about Gohan's Power in the Buu Arc of DBZ so I hope that gets my point across (even if its repetitive) [4]ah yes this is a topic Superman fans have debated for many years(its almost as bad as the Goku Vs. Superman death battle but let's not go there ok?) Most people assume that Kryptonian and human DNA are incapable with each other. Heck even Vegeta has doubts that Kryptonians are incapable of reproduction(due to his memory but more on that in later chapters) and he's a saiyan prince for crying out loud!
[5] OK let me deal with the previous point by saying that in several Superman storylines (in particular the comic storyline "Divergence" and the pre Man of Steel movie known as Superman returns). Superman does indeed have a hybrid son with Lois Lane(although Superman Returns does have a plot hole because in Superman II, Clark willingly gave up his krytonian powers in order to be with Lois in the first place). With that out of the way, [5] covers Superman's birth as seen in Man of Steel [6] is the infamous Codex installed in every Kryptonian as seen in Man of Steel(which is how Superman got away from Krypton in the first place as well as his inhuman strength on Earth). Now some may argue how this relates to Kara and I can answer that easily by pointing out her monologue about being sent to Earth to protect Kal-El AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY FREAKING EPISODE.
As she wasn't born "naturally" like her cousin, my personal BELIEF is that her Codex(so to speak) was to "protect Kal-El". This explains how she got off Krypton before it was destroyed and why she has the same powers as her cousin(as she herself had stated numerous times throughout the show). [7] Comes from the title of the episode it was named after when Trunks realized that events in the past had changed due to his trip to the past with the time machine(particularly androids 16,19,20 and most prominently Cell)
[8] Trunks was fueled by his rage however this feat is only something SSJ Gotenks did in the Buu Arc(however I'm convinced that anyone at his level of power could do it meaning that Mystic Gohan and SSJ3 Goku could if they really wanted to). Actually Superman also did that in the first Superman movie, but in all like-hood, Trunks was over-exaggerating himself(he's the son of Vegeta so give the guy a break comment section).
[9] is one of the most famous (and well loved) "Goku quotes"; anyone who watches dragon ball z loves that quote(and that moment for that matter) between a father and a son PERIOD! Anyone who criticizes Goku as a "bad parent" should look no further than the android/cell arc to change their opinion. [10] 450x Gravity is how much gravitational force Vegeta can withstand as of the Buu Arc. Of course with Super that number can be thrown out the figurative window of forgetfulness. [11] Krillen's question to Bulma in the Battle of Gods MOVIE(not Super) regarding her age; her response was hilarious as it was priceless.
[12] my math can be bad so bear with me; Trunks was 22 well he defeated Future Cell and he spend 3 months afterwards preparing himself to go to New Namek. After making the wish, he was about to come home using Porunga's power but Man of Steel happened so he couldn't return right away. In fact it was shortly after MOS that Bulla was conceived(in my opinion anyway) and seeing the threat was over Bulma called Trunks(thanks to Gohan and King Kai) to come home because he was about to become a big brother. Overjoyed he returned and 9 months later Bulla was born. However, Vegeta wanted to protect his children so he told Bulma to erase the memories of the Z warriors from history using Shenron. This happened around Bra's 1st Birthday and the Earth then recovered from both nightmares for about 3 years. Around her 4th Birthday is when things get interesting, as Pan asked Trunks to start training her(as I have explained in prior chapters). Trunks and her spend 6 months in the HTC(during which time he unlocked SSJ2 and Bra transformed as I also previously said). Seeing how Trunks had increased his Power, Vegeta decided to accelerate Bra's training using the HTC(during which time he also achieved SSJ2). Another year passed before Fort Razz's prisoners were released, and Supergirl revealed herself, In the aftermath Vegeta once again took Bra to train for another 6 months which explains how she is 7 years old but physically 9. Now if you add everything up Trunks is 4-5 years older making him 26 age wise but physically 28 due to HTC training. Dragon Ball Ages can be extremely inaccurate so forgive me if I made a mistake.
[13] ah yes, the mustache reference in GT(which was hilariously parodied by TFS-shout-out to them). [14] Yes another GT moment captured all to perfectly by Bulla's statement about her dad's looks. Again its hilarious and priceless.
