Dragon Ball Z: Mirai Trunks Saga
Planet Amazon
7:47 a.m. Earth's time
Trunks paced up and down in `his room' waiting for Tai to come and pick him up to meet the queen. After a few minutes, she finally appeared.
"Sorry I'm late, I had a few inconvenience in the training area" Tai explained.
"Really? What happened?" Trunks inquired.
"Well, let me put it this way to you…when you are my age never insist on sparring with someone who's a lot younger than you, and her family is known for being the greatest warriors in this side of the galaxy" Tai said slightly embarrassed.
Trunks chuckles, "We call that on planet Earth, someone kicking our ass mercilessly".
"I know, I just didn't want to put it that way" Tai said chuckling as well.
Then they finally arrived to the huge dinning room, which was empty.
"Where is she?" he inquired as he looked around.
"She should be here any second… now, I need you to listen carefully, there are somethings you need to know about royal protocol. Now, by no means you can refer to the queen only by her name, you have to say call her, `your majesty' or `royal highness'. You have to treat her with respect, is that clear?" Tai asked expectantly.
"Crystal clear" Trunks responded.
Suddenly, about ten men entered the room, and search it. One of them approached to Tai and Trunks. "I'm sorry, commander, but does this gentleman has clearance for this area?" the soldier asked seriously.
Tai nods, "Of course, you can ask Queen Lia yourself, he's the earthling that saved her life" she explained. The soldier quickly leaved, while Tai rolled her eyes annoyed. "Those are the queen's bodyguards, they make sure the area is secure for the queen. They are kind of annoying, but they do a pretty decent job" she explained to Trunks.
The soldier once again appeared after a few minutes and says, "My apologies, commander. The queen confirmed it, she'll be with you both shortly".
"Thank you, soldier" Tai said, and then the man leaved. "These guys take their job seriously" Trunks commented, as he saw the soldiers search the room frantically. "They have to. The empress' life is a stake, and if she dies, then all will be lost" Tai explained. "All clear!" they heard one of the soldier say loudly. And all of the sudden four more men came to the room and after them appeared a tall, thin, beautiful red head woman, of white skin and beautiful violet eyes; he stared at her breathless for a moment, but regained his posture. She proudly walked, and went straight towards Tai and Trunks.
She smirks at Tai while looking at her, "So, I see you didn't bruise, you should be thankful you didn't end like the last time we sparred" Queen Lia said.
Tai smiles weakly, "Yes, well, that day you were at your best, today you weren't, your majesty, I think you've been careless with your training".
Queen Lia chuckles amused, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard you say; you're just a sore loser. It should at least comfort you that the disciple must always surpass the master".
Tai scoffs incredously, "I beg your pardon, empress, but you have not surpassed me, not by a long shot" she said smirking.
Lia chuckles as well, "Why don't we go again to the training area, and prove your theory".
Tai laughs nervously, "I'm sorry, empress, but you must have your breakfast, plus you have a guest" she finally said looking at Trunks.
Queen Lia looked at Trunks for a moment, then says to Tai, "This is the earthling? He doesn't look like the one I saw back at the infirmary".
"Remember he was all bruised, and swollen, when you saw him, Empress, now he's alright and completely cured" Tai explained.
Lia nods, "I guess you're right…" then she looks back at Trunks and says to him, "…I'm glad to see you are alright… Trunk is it?".
He nods, "Yes, Trunks Briefs, your majesty" he responded politely.
Lia smiles and continues, "So, are you going to join me for breakfast, Trunks Briefs?". "It would be an honor, your majesty" Trunks responded smiling.
Lia smiles and says, "Very well, follow me…" and she walked he followed behind.
After a few seconds, they arrived in a balcony, where a small table was set, and with hot food waiting for both of them. Her chair was quickly pulled by one of her bodyguards, and she sited, and then about three of the bodyguards stood beside them. Trunks look at them slightly uncomfortable, which she notices.
"Leave us" she ordered.
"But, Empress, we have strict orders not to…" the soldier started, but was quickly cut when she glared at him, almost bringing him to his knees, "…very well, my queen" he said and quickly leaved.
She looks at Trunks slightly embarrassed, and says, "I'm sorry about that, but it's their job to be annoyingly protective".
Trunks chuckles, "I understand".
"So, you are from planet Earth, huh? Interesting, I've heard some fascinating things about your planet" she said.
Slightly surprised that she knew about his planet, says, "Really? And what have you heard, Empress?".
"Well, rumor around the galaxy was that an earthling killed a powerful, merciless, dictator called Freeza" she said.
He nods, "Yes, it is true. He was my sensei's father" Trunks explained.
She looks at him shocked for a moment, then says incredously, "Your sensei's father?? They must be very powerful; I would like to meet them someday".
He looks away sadly, "I'm sorry, but that can't be arranged, they both are dead" he said. She sees the pain in his face, and says, "I imagine they were really close to you, I'm very sorry for bringing the subject up".
"I actually never met Goku, which was the one that killed Freeza, and Gohan, his son was my best friend and sensei" he explained, he felt kind of guilty saying that he never met Goku, when he actually had, but he still didn't felt that bad since he actually had not met the Goku of his timeline, so he was partially saying the truth.
"I see…" she responded, then changing subjects so he wouldn't feel bad anymore she continues, "…so, how do you like Amazon?".
"Ehh, well, I really haven't had the time to see anything of the planet since I came out of the incubator yesterday" he explained. She nods,
"That's right. Don't worry I'll arrange a tour for tomorrow".
He nods, "Thank you, Empress" he said smiling.
Both of them stayed in silent as they started to eat, she notice he was slightly uncomfortable, like if he wanted to say something.
"Is there something else?" she asked curious.
"Well, I was wondering about since my ship, since it's wrecked how I was going to return home" he said timidly.
She smiles, "Well, we could give you one of our ships, or we could just take you to your planet. Is it that you wish to leave soon?".
"Well, I just don't want to impose" he said shyly.
She laughs, "Don't be ridiculous, Trunks. You are not imposing, besides even if you were, it wouldn't matter, you saved my life, so I really don't care that, because to me you're not. So, if you wished, you can go right after you finish your breakfast, or you could stay for a couple days or months, or maybe live here for the rest of your life. It's your choice, really" she stated.
He thought for a moment, he wished he could say that he had to return for his family, that someone on planet Earth was waiting for his return, but there was no one, everyone was dead; he sighs, then says, "I think I'll stay for a couple of days".
She nods, "Very well, then. Let us know when you are ready to leave" she said and he nodded.
