Ironic: Mirai Trunks Saga

Planet Amazon

1:32 p.m. Earth time

It's been weeks since Trunks had been on planet Amazon; but he couldn't help it, the planet was simply beautiful. Full of vegetation, but at the same time full of technology, and fairly high buildings. He was getting used to being on the unfamiliar planet; he had already made friends with some of the guards of the palace; and he was also given a room in one of the many floors of the palace. He would daily walk around the nearby towns, where he could appreciate that all kinds of creatures, probably from space, visited the planet. He had even established a small friendship with Tai, who he saw daily around the palace. The only person he hardly saw was Queen Lia, and whenever he had been fortunate enough to see her, it was when she passed by coincidentally, because she was always too busy.

It was a sunny day, when Trunks decided to take a walk around the gardens of the castle. As he walked and saw the exotic flowers, he saw that Lia was there accompanied by a bunch of old people; it was probably 'The Grand Amazon Council' that some of his friends guards had told him about, that were the advisors of the queen. Lia was sitting in some big chair throne-like, while the council sat on some smaller chairs, he could see they were talking about something that queen Lia wasn't too thrilled about, since she looked kind of upset. As he watched, he couldn't help stop starring at the beautiful queen; her beautiful eyes, and face, her skin seemed so soft and delicate like he felt he wanted to touch her. But then he quickly snapped out of it, he chuckled incredously at his train of thought. But kept on watching them from afar, when he all of the sudden noticed, a strange looking man of blue skin, with a sword on his hand walking cautiously towards her, Trunks approached slowly, the man definitely looked out of place, and decide to follow him, to see where he was going and what he was going to do, and then a few feet closer he saw the man jump towards Lia, scaring all of the counselors and earning some screams. Trunks approached as the royal bodyguards appeared as well. They all saw the man was holding Lia and had his sword menacingly placed on her throat, as some sort of gas came from his mouth.

"Let her go, now!" some of the guards yelled to the man, who looked around desperately.

"If someone comes one inch closer, I'll slit her throat, I swear" the alien said angrily.

More and more guards started to arrived, pointing their weapons towards Lia and the mad blue alien.

Tai stood beside Trunks, "Oh, good heavens" Tai commented horrified.

"What's going on? Who's that?" Trunks inquired while watching the whole scene.

"He's a Troit, an enemy of the east quadrant" Tai responded.

"What the hell is she waiting for? She should defend herself" Trunks said.

"You don't understand, Trunks that gas that's coming from the Troit's mouth has paralyzed the queen. She's defenseless" Tai said, getting frantic by the second.

"Well, then, I guess this has gone far enough…" Trunks stated, then he walked towards Lia and the man, and says boldly, "…let her go, now".

The man chuckled incredously, "Really? And who the hell are you to give me any orders?".

Trunks could see Lia's face was getting red, as sign she was obviously being suffocated by the gas, "The one that's going to kill you, if you don't let her go now" he responded angrily. The man shook slightly at Trunks words, but quickly dismissed them.

Trunks pointed his index finger towards him, and continued, "I'm not going to say it again. Let her go".

"Go to hell" the man said smirking.

"Wrong answer" Trunks said, then suddenly a thin, yellow beam came from his index finger that went straight to the man's head, killing him instantly.

The man fell dead on the floor quickly releasing Lia, who gasped for air desperately, as the gas quickly dissipated; she looks at Trunks shocked for a moment, before she was abruptly removed from the garden by her bodyguards.

A half hour later, he was in the throne room, he was summoned by the Grand Council, because they wanted to talk to him. They finally arrived, along with Tai.

"You wanted to see me?" he said anxiously.

"Yes, Trunks, the council and I wanted to talk to you… please, take a seat" she said as she motioned to him to sit in a nearby chair.

All of them sat on the chairs, while Trunks looks at them slightly strange, since they were looking at him the same way. "So, are you really from planet Earth?" one of the old men eagerly asked.

Trunks nods, "Yes, I am. I thought that was clear".

"Well, as far as we know, earthlings do not posses powers and abilities like yours" the man said.

Trunks sighs, "Well, the thing is because… I'm half Saiyan and half earthling".

All of the members of the council looked at each other and started to whisper at this new development. Trunks sighs frustrated, while looking down at the floor slightly embarrassed.

Tai quickly notices and says pissed, "Everyone shut up!".

Every single counselor looked at Tai shocked, and she chuckles nervously, "I'm sorry, but you people wouldn't shut up, and you were starting to give me a headache. And most importantly, you have to listen to what Trunks have to say, so please, counselors, be quiet".

The counselors once again turned their eyes to Trunks.

"So, you are the son of a Saiyan. Tell us about yourself" one of the counselors said.

Trunks sigh, "Not this again…" he thought, then begins, "Well, my mother is an earthling and my father is a Saiyan, my father died shortly after I was born and my mother died a couple of months ago. Is there anything else you would like to know?" he finally said obviously annoyed.

All of the counselors look at each other and they nod to one another. "Yes, we would like to know one other thing" a woman said.

He sighs annoyed, "And what is that?".

"Would you like to be the new chief bodyguard of the queen?" the woman said directly.

Trunks couldn't help but stay in shock at their proposition, "Whao, I don't know what to say" he stated after a few minutes.

"Well, if it's such a difficult answer for you, you could tell us what you decided tomorrow" the woman said.

He nods, and before the counselors leave, he says, "If I say yes to this offer, does this mean, I'll have to stay and live here on Amazon?".

All of the counselors nodded, he nods as well, and continues, "You'll have my answer by tomorrow ". And everyone left the room.

The next morning Trunks was still on his bed, he had not slept a wink the night before, it was a difficult decision, to never see the planet he was born and grew up on again, to live in some unknown place that he hardly knew, to serve some queen he hardly have seen and didn't know. But on the other hand, there was nothing left for him on planet Earth, everyone was dead, his family, his friends, all of them. He sighed, it was a difficult decision, but it was already made. He then heard Tai calling him through the intercom. He quickly stood up, and went to open the door.

"Good morning…" then she noticed, how bad he looked since he hadn't slept, "…my, you look terrible".

"Thank you" he said slightly annoyed, yet chuckling.

"I'm sorry, but it's not a pretty sight to see a face like yours in those conditions. What happened? You didn't get any sleep?" she inquired.

He nods, "Yeah, I've been thinking about the Grand Council's proposition all night".

"I see. So, that's why I'm here, they sent me to collect your answer… so, what it'll be?" she said anxiously.

He sighs, "Well, after careful consideration, I've decided that…" after a long pause that almost made Tai yell, he finally says, "…that, I will accept".

Tai smiles happily, "Really? That's great! I will tell the council right now, meanwhile, pack your things" she ordered quickly.

"Pack my stuff? Why? Where are we going?" he asked confused.

"To your new room. Right beside the queen's" Tai explained. Trunks looks at her slightly shocked, but nods, and does as told.
