Tatsu / Aize / Trunks

 

-- Age 850: Toki Toki City --

 

A bright flash of light filled the area in front of the central plaza with a group of warriors, of all shapes, sizes, and races.

One of them: a Namekian, well built and tall enough to tower over everybody else in the group looked around with tight, serious eyes, while another one, a small, blue and green member of the race that Frieza belonged to, observed casually the area to which he and the others now found themselves.

 

It was a futuristic like city, built with gray and purple metal walls and floors, a patches of green grass surrounding the edges of some entrances and walkways, and behind them, a small river running under a few bridges, and a nearby pedestal on the other side, carrying seven orange orbs with stars on them. But most notably: above the group was a giant green dragon, floating high in the air with a mystical aura.

 

"Farewell!" he cried to the others, suddenly dispersing from the air as seven orbs lifted up from the pedestal and spread throughout the air.

 

Not a moment later did a man in a green and brown coat and carrying a sword on his back come walking towards everybody, a small smile on his face.

 

"You're all surprised, I'm sure. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you.... my name is Trunks," he said.

 

"Trunks, huh? You don't seem like much... I'm Tatsu, by the way," the Namekian said.

 

"Hmm... my name is Aize," the member of Frieza's race said after.

Trunks

 

Angling his sword, Trunks deflected each blast, and after dodging through Ailder's series of kicks, he caught his heel without need to turn his back, throwing him forward and back to where he was standing.

 

"You're easy to read as well. Too easy. Oh, and you should probably wait your turn," Trunks commented. "Next!" He cried, referring to Pyrus.

(Loving that plot armor. At this rate, nome of us are gonna be a match for even Yamcha...)

 

Ailder stood up. "Oh come on, a five-second match? Hardly what I would call a good fight." He complained, but Derik just dragged his little brother back to the back of the line. "Your so immature, also, did you forget your training? Never lead with that combination again, it's too slow."

 

"But Derik, I-"

 

"No "but"'s. Or "if"'s, "and"'s or "or"'s. No training tonight and you will only have rice for dinner tonight."

 

"But I hate rice!"

 

"I know."

Nodding, Pyrus walks right over to Trunks.  He crosses his arms, breathes in deeply, and exhales slowly.  Eyes turning fierce, he dashes to Trunks.  Pyrus starts with a left-right jab, spins his left elbow towards Trunks abdomen, finishing with a right knee thrust to the head.  Then Pyrus jumps back and fires two ki blasts in a pincer maneuver.

(You're being tested, not engaging in actual matches, NB. Don't complain.)

 

Trunks

 

With sword in hand, Trunks dodges Pyrus's jabs, blocks his elbow, and also dodges his knee. Not wasting any time, Trunks dashes forward, deflecting the ki blasts with his sword and using it to slash Pyrus across his chest, sending him back.

 

"Your poise is noted, but being too relaxed can work against you. Be more alert," Trunks instructed. "Now then, next person in line!" He called to Kondai.

(Its a free board I'll complain if I wannaaaaaa

 

Blah plot armorrrrrrrrrrr)

 

Derik was watching, and withthst watching, he figured out how he would attack. "He's deflecting each attack that comes at him, but too many attacks at one period of time might just do it..." He thought to himself, the thought jumbling around in his mind, he sighed. "Somehowe, I know, that for whatever eeason, no matter what I do, I won't even be able to hit him with a single attack, reguardless of how dificult it would be to dodge and block all of the shots, he is by some manifestation of impossibly, going to block every single hit and there isn't a thing we can do about it. Then again, we are playing on his home turf, probably something about the gravity here..."

(Quit whining about it. Just look at the game, your first fight with Trunks is pretty similar. No matter how well you do, or how much you beat him down, he still acts and looks like he didn't have a scratch on him. We're not expected to be on par with him yet, but to build our way up to it, just like in the game.)

 

While watching the others spa and waiting for her turn, Bluu was slowly building up her ki so she would be ready when it was her turn.

(I'll whine if I want to. If we're suppose to help stop abnormalities in time, starting around Radditz, we at least have to be good enough to hit Radditz. If we move "predictably" and have so many flaws still, Yamcha could beat us, and that a good hero dose not make. So I'll whine if I feel it's bad. It's a free board, we're allowed to criticize and think and say. I feel it's a bad idea for us to be that weak. I'm not saying pound him, but if none of us can even land a flick on him, there I nothing we overall can do.)

(Sorry, couldn't follow the thread before on mobile for some reason. Here now.)

 

Kondai stepped up. This man's powerful... He defeated Aspar without even trying. I'll have to try my best in order to even get in one hit. She quickly dashed towards Trunks, and kicked him in the face. After this, she backed up a bit, and fired a few ki blasts at Trunks.

 

Aspar focused on Kondai's quick match with Trunks. Kondai's strong, but this guy's way faster than anyone I've met... Hopefully she'll be okay.

Trunks

 

Kondai's kick hit cleanly, staggering Trunks back for a bit, but caught himself soon after. The ki blasts struck an afterimage of Trunks. The real one had moved forward with insteanous movement, getting close to Kondai and hitting her in the stomach.

 

"Your speed is remarkable, but if you intend to strike, then be sure to make it count," Trunks noted. "Next in line please!" he called, asking Renco.

Edited March 28, 201510 yr by Firaga Sensei

Cracking his knuckles, Renco(le) mumbles:  "Finally." and walks forward.  In front of Trunks, he already charges with a kick to the torso.  Then he follows with a couple jabs, a hard left hook, an uppercut, and finishes with drop kick.  Then Renco jumps up and guards as a precaution.

(Pardon the mispell. lol)

 

Trunks / Tatsu

 

Trunks anticipates Renco's blows, blocking the first four, but the drop kick came unexpected, forcing Trunks back. Spotting Renco's blocked stance, he uses instantaneous movement to appear behind him, kicking him straight back onto the ground.

 

"Your strikes are very impressive, but being too quick to guard can be a problem. Don't be too sure of yourself," Trunks said. "Alright, next!" He called, asking Bluu to come forth.

 

Finally, we're almost done... after this pipsqueak, I get to show my power. Tatsu thought, taking note of Aize standing right next to him. Tatsu's gaze at him went unnoticed as he continued to be calm and observing.

(It's cool.  I had a good laugh out of it. Actually, maybe I should use that for something.)

 

Standing up, Renco shakes his head.  "Have to remember that."  he said, walking back to his first spot. 

 

Watching him walk away, Pyrus crossed his arms and thought:  Huh.  That differently colored Namekian managed to land a blow on this Trunks.  Interesting.

(Just a heads up, my attack will be a two parter with the second part being after Trunks makes his move.)

 

Bluu stepped forward, having finished charging her ki. She raised her hand and a purple disk formed above it. She threw it at him and ran after it.

Trunks

 

Interesting, but what is she planning? Trunks asked himself.

 

Seeing the purple disc of energy come towards him, he simply side-stepped out of the way, his sword in hand in case he needed to counter what was coming next.

She quickly threw another disk from her left hand, while simultaneously flicking her right hand toward her, sending the first disk back after him. She then jumped up above him, pouring the rest of her ki into her hands. "Kamehameha!" she cried out, firing the energy out at him in a pink blast.

Trunks / Aize / Tatsu

 

Hmph. Smart. Trunks thought.

 

With two discs flying towards him, as well as Bluu's Kamehameha, he would have been tethered. However, Trunks IM'ed, with all three attacks missing.

 

Trunks appeared in the air behind Bluu and slashed her back down with his sword.

 

"That was a good strategy, but don't underestimate your opponents," Trunks said. "Okay, next up!" He called, Aize moving forward.

 

I should be careful. This Trunks person certainly is not a pushover, Aize thought. 

 

Aize shot a flurry of ki blasts at Trunks, who jumped over the barrage. Aize IM'ed and reappeared behind Trunks, charing up his ki into his fist and aiming to attack from behind with his Arm Crash. Trunks sensed his movement and while dodging, he landed a slash of his sword on Aize's back, sending him back to his spot.

 

"I can tell that it took you a while to think that up, but flaring up your ki can still give you way, Be careful," Trunks warned. "Alright, now for the next person in line!"

 

Aize went back to the line and Tatsu took his spot. At last. Now... i'll mop the floor with this punk. Tatsu thought, cracking his knuckles.

 

Tatsu then sprung forward and attacked, Trunks dodging all of his powerful yet swift punches and kicks. Getting crafty, he charged his Evil Explosion, but Trunks brought up his sword in time, still being thrown back a bit due to the sheer force of the blast. Tatsu took advantage and jumped over to Trunks, yelling out as he aimed to strike by stretching his arm out. Trunks dodged the arm, and hit a central nerve on Tatsu's arm, demobilzing the large Namekian and bringing him back to the ground in a huff.

 

"You're very powerful, but you're too wild with your attacks. You need more focus," Trunks said, putting his sword back in his sheath.

 

"Grr... whatever. So talk then: why are we even here?! We all fought you, now give us an answer!" Tatsu demanded, clearly annoyed by his loss.

 

"Oh yeah, my bad... you see... I summoned you here all using the power of Shenron. You are currently more than two hundred years in the past, and I am here to enroll you in my special brigade: the Time Patrol!" He said.

"... Two hundred years in the past?" Aspar looked confused by the idea. "I guess that explains where we are... But what's this Time Patrol thing?" He asked Trunks, still not completely understanding their situation.

 

Kondai also looked somewhat confused. "Why did you need to choose people from the future, too? Aren't there plenty of other warriors you could have chosen from that aren't still in training?"

Shenron?  Pyrus figures that must be the name of the creature he and everyone else saw.  Crossing his arms, he thinks:  Hm.  So, myself and several other individuals have been brought over two centuries to the past to join some group called the "Time Patrol."  Something major must have gone awry for such an action to be made.  Which makes this all even more interesting.

 

Renco was unsure on the whole matter.  Being taken two hundred years from his time, the Time Patrol, Shenron.  It's a start so far, but not enough for him to be settled.  Instead of shouting it out, Renco waits for Trunks explanation on it further. 

Bluu dusted herself off and asked "What's going on to where you need so many fighters of differing races? It must be something big."

Ali looked skeptically at Trunks, wondering what threat was powerful enough to have Shenron gather them. Not one to waste time on trivialities, she smiled brightly. "Sounds dangerous. I'm in!"

Trunks / Aize / Tatsu

 

"You see... the time you belong to, the home of the hero known as Son Goku, is in grave danger. Lately, there have been strange and dangerous happenings in the time stream, and I fear that it may seriously damage the flow of time and affect all of history in the worst way possible."

 

"The solution: the Time Patrol. A group of warriors dedicated to protecting the time stream and keeping history the way it should be. Now, I'm sure you are all familiar with the past exploits of Son Goku?"

 

"I've heard stories and legends, but I've never met him. He sounded like a really strong guy," Tatsu commented.

 

"Indeed, he is," Trunks replied.

 

"My knowledge is limited, but from what I have learned on Earth, I too agree that Son Goku was very strong," Aize said.

 

"Wait, you're from Earth? Aren't you a member of Frieza's race?" Trunks asked.

 

"Yes, but in our timeline, some of Frieza's racial brothers traveled to planet Earth to learn martial arts and live peaceful lives," Aize answered in earnest.

 

"I see. Well, that's good to hear. What about the rest of you?" Trunks asked.

"I heard of his battle with Majin Buu." she said. "It's a shame such a strong member of my race had to turn out so evil, I'm glad that at least some part of him turned good, even if he does act like a child."

"I've learned of him from reading old entry logs on a ship database.  The description of him being so powerful and saving lives time and again were all so fascinating."  Pyrus responds.

 

"I came to hear of him from stories told in my tribe.  How he put an end to the tyrant Frieza who slaughtered thousands of Namekians many years ago.  From all the stories, Goku was to be some sort of martial arts genius.  I hoped that one day I could be as skilled as him and have a chance to fight him."  Renco answers.

"Goku? Of course we know who he is! We're even fighting in the same style he learned from Master Roshi!" Aspar pointed to the emblem on his uniform proudly. "We've heard all the stories about how he saved the planet. I can't speak for Kondai, but he's one of the fighters I look up to!"

 

Kondai nodded. "Yes, Aspar is right. We know all about Goku and his friends. How is he in trouble here? From what we've heard, he was one of the most powerful beings in the world... It's tough to believe that he's in trouble, and that trainees like us can save him." She asked, somewhat puzzled.

Trunks / Tatsu / Aize

 

"That is what I want to find out for myself," Trunks said to Kondai. "But that's exactly why I brought you here in the first place. You all possess the power needed to combat this threat."

 

"We do?" Aize asked.

 

"Of course. I only asked Shenron to bring me the best of the best after all," Trunks said in a friendly tone.

 

"Well, I wouldn't want to doubt Shenron. That would be as foolish as doubting Porunga." Tatsu commented.

 

"Okay, now that we have everything in order, please follow me," Trunks said.

 

The time traveling swordsman led the group of fighters through Toki Toki City, where they passed various other fighters like themselves, as well as other futuristic structures and buildings, and even small robots whirling around, cleaning and performing other tasks.

 

"As you can see, the benefits of the future are a plenty," Trunks joked. Eventually, they passed through a gate, which led them to a huge garden with a small building on the right, which had Trunks's name on the front door. "Welcome to the Time Nest," Trunks said.

 

And in front of them was another building: a much larger one that had a giant tree sticking out from the roof. Trunks led them inside, which contained a chamber filled with various shelves, and a small table in the middle of the room.

 

"This is the Storage Vault," Trunks said, quickly going to a nearby shelf and picking up a scroll that was glowing with purple energy. "And this is what is known as a Scroll of Eternity. All of time, all of history, are kept within these scrolls. Here, please take a look of what's inside. This scroll contains an event that has happened in Son Goku's time, and the aura around it represents the corruption it is receiving," Trunks explained, laying the scroll out for the others to see.

 

The magical scroll glowed white for an instant and then began playing images from the time period it belong to: Age 761. The event taking place was when Son Goku's brother, Raditz, came to Earth and kidnapped Goku's son Gohan after he refused to join him on a conquest for Earth. Son Goku teamed up his former enemy Piccolo to combat Raditz. In the end, Goku and Raditz both died, as a result of Goku sacrificing himself to stop his murderous brother.

 

The group saw Goku struggling to hold Raditz in place with a full nelson. Meanwhile, Piccolo had his fingers charged with energy, and then shot a beam from his fingertips, shouting "Makankosappo!" Instead of the beam hitting both Goku and Raditz, Raditz got out of the way and only Goku was hit, instantly killing him. Suddenly, Raditz glowed with a purple aura and his eyes turned red. He then shot an energy blast at Piccolo, killing him as well, as the low class Saiyan stood and cackled to himself.

"Huh?!" Aspar's eyes widened, surprised by the sudden turn in events. "That's not what happened, though! Goku and Piccolo both defeated Raditz... What's this all about?"

 

Kondai was also surprised, but didn't express it the same way that her friend did. "Do you know what's causing this corruption? We've never heard about anything that can result in something like this..." She stared at the scroll.
