The Drama Unfolds[/u]
Out from the dust of the impacted spaceship came the figure of Cooler and his henchmen. It was supposed to be the day they quickly and effectively captured the pitiful race of the Humans, and put them under their control. Of course as events often unfold, things would not go so simply.
Piccolo and Trunks felt the presence of the energy levels and quickly darted towards the location. Meanwhile a blissfully unaware Gohan had unknowingly walked into the thick of the action, and quickly became embroiled in a fight for his life and the human race.
The constant changing tides
Joined by Luna, Piccolo took on the force of Neiz, one of Cooler's most valuable henchmen. Things seemed far too easy for the Namekian forces, as they effectively ended any hopes of the alien gaining victory, forcing the almost turtle like being to flee the battle.
Trunks on the other hand found matters far more tough and his inexperience and youth showed throughout the battle. Glimpses of his power erupted throughout as he took blows, and gave several back, but in the end his undoing was simple - he was far too inexperienced to match the level of intelligence Salza had. The battle continued, but Trunks always looked on the backfoot.
Gohan had it tough as well as he begun his defence, tackling the threat of Doore, this on its own was an easy feat, but Gohan persisted in his attempts to be diplomatic, however his olive branch fell on deaf ears, and inevitably Gohan had to destroy Doore, ending his life in mere seconds.
Red Mist
Another turn for the worse came with Piccolo's front, when out of the blue, perhaps the most powerful being to ever grace the universe came to the front of the battle. Broly, the legendary super saiyan was definatly a force to be reckoned with, and even the mighty Piccolo found himself struggling.
Gohan found himself facing things tough, as following the death of Doore, came the mighty Cooler. The two locked horns in an epic battle, with neither fully gaining any sort of advantage, blocks, deflections and dodges all became the norm, and any hit, no matter how weak suddenly became a miracle.
Trunks' side was the first to truly fall, as his super saiyan state flutered and stuttered to an end. The lavender haired boy had only one option left if he was to keep his life, and he took it - he bargained for his life. Salza offered him the choice, die or aid him and his lord to get rid of Gohan. The cocky Trunks offered even more than that, and claimed he would bring the Dragonballs to him and would give them Salza if the next time they met they fought, and Salza won.
The End of the Chapter
The two remaining battles raged, but from the ashes of a previous battle came a new threat. The biological parasite, an Android made by Dr Gero himself, named Cell was on the prowl, and as he inspected the battles for the second time in the day, using his lack of a power level, and his green shell as camoflauge he stalked his targetted prey, that of the recently withdrawing Neiz. It took little time for the Android to defeat the being, and absorb the alien.
Piccolo found the going tough but made a great step forward in the battle when an especially accurate and deadly special beam cannon ripped through the abdomen of Broly. It knocked the Saiyan down and into the water, long enough for Piccolo to regain his composure and take note of the situation. Broly erupted back, but it was too late, Piccolo, dodged several attacks from the weakened saiyan, and along with Luna, fled the scene.
As things progressed, Gohan was making quick work of Cooler, finding something within him to put the invading alien on the backfoot, but yet again things changed. As planned, Trunks arrived on the scene, appearing between the two fighters, and proceeded in promptly deflecting a blast from Cooler away from Gohan before begining an attack on his so called ally.
Gohan could not deal with a combined attack from the two, and several attempts to save Trunks the pain of a full assault, resulted in Gohan becoming more and more fatigued and injured. Finally the Saiyan flipped, and engaging Trunks with a flurry of punches, and finalised with a potent blast, the young saiyan was quickly sent out of the battle to lick his reopened wounds. Cooler met a similar fate when the enraged force of Gohan attacked with rejuvenated desire and flare, and ended the fight soon after.
Cooler did what anyone would in such a situation, and retreated, Salza coming too late was ordered onboard the ship, and it set off into space. The outcome pleased Gohan, but a glare at Trunks was all he could muster as his happiness turned into annoyance and disbelief at what had truly become of his brother's best friend.
Context
Trunks truly done for the day in terms of fighting was recovered by Piccolo and sent home. Before he had chance to tell his mother and father what happened, he felt the sandman come, and he fell into slumber, it would have to wait for the morning.
Night came quickly and the aftermath was apparent. What would now happen? Was Cooler gone? Why did Trunks turn on Gohan? Why didn't Cooler attack Trunks? The questions kept coming and as Gohan was questioned more and more by Piccolo, Goku and the other Z-Fighters, another nemesis lurked, and the several more laid ready to redeem themselves.
All the Z-Fighters knew was that this was just the beginning...[/ul]
