enemy. He had made up his mind to listen to the Honthaner's story and then shoot him to the moon.


"So?" Kira asked expectantly.


The Honthan said nothing, instead looked around. "This is not your hiding place. But well, you are Sajajins, a suspicious bunch if you ask me." He grinned, almost made a friendly impression. "Stick with it!" Trunks warned him, who now stood next to Kira and leaned against the large trunk next to her. He also crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the person opposite with slightly narrowed eyes. The resemblance to his father came out clearly again.And it made the Honthan nervous.


“My name is Leigo,” he began and immediately paused again. Trunks pondered his name briefly, the pronunciation of the name intriguing him. He did not say it like Laigo with an a, but let out a clear, softly pronounced e. He studied Trunks for a long time, his gaze fixed on his eyes.


“You're weird, Trunks, isn't that your name?” He waited, noticed that Trunks didn't react and finally shrugged his shoulders. "I've seen your eyes before. But they are also unusual, you Sajajins always have black hair and black eyes. You are not pure-blood, are you?" Again he waited for a reaction, but he didn't get it, neither from Kira nor from Trunks himself. "Yes, it has to be, then this woman with the turquoise hair is your mother ..." This time he had done it, Trunks listened carefully.


"How do you know a woman with turquoise hair?"


Leigo smiled briefly, but then turned serious."They found an unknown spaceship. That must have been yours, didn't it? Well, that woman was the only person who had lived in it."


"Keep talking!" Trunks asked anxiously.


"She was captured and taken to Storg. There she is still. No idea, it is rumored that she was tortured. But the way I see Storg's people that was hopelessly exaggerated. Let alone that I couldn't imagine that this woman lets herself be tortured for a long time and gets straight to the point. Sorry for you, boy. "


Trunk's face grew pale the longer Leigo spoke. Fear filled him like a swarm of insects. His hands trembled, his knees gave way and he got down on his knees, where he sat motionless, his eyes wide with bewilderment and fear. "That ... that ... no ... that can just ... not be true ..." Tears ran down his cheeks without his registering it. Deep guilt welled up in his stomach.He shouldn't have let her, he should have said no and left her at home. Again and again the words came to him and caused one tremor after the other. He swallowed hard, while a dull veil wrapped itself around his consciousness and wanted to drag him with it into the world of grief and guilt.


He heard footsteps and felt a hand on his shoulder, Kira's hand. She stroked down until she finally stopped under his armpits. She gripped tighter and pulled him up with a jerk. "Be strong Trunks, you are the only hope this world has left. Don't give up."


Trunks didn't react, didn't seem to notice the words. He was too obscured by the tempting veil that kept dragging him with it. He shouldn't have let her, he should have said no and left her at home. He shouldn't have let her, he should have said no and left her at home, he should have ...

A hard blow jerked him back. His cheek burned and turned red exactly where Kira's slap kicked him with full force. His thread of thought broke and the veil let go of him, hurling him back into his world. He blinked in confusion, caught a blurry image of Kira's face. Slowly he raised his hand and wiped away his tears. The image became sharper, now he saw Kira's beauty clearly again, not as a blurry ugly something. He also noticed Leigo again. He stood in front of him and an honest pity spread over his eyes. "I'm sorry for you, Trunks. But you know, Kira is right. You are the only hope this world still has, the only fighter who can take it against Storg. I can't. The magic is on my side." , and yet she can't do anything against Storg. I don't have a sincere heart like you. "He smiled encouragingly and warmly, as only a divine perfect creature could do.But Leigo wasn't perfect, he was a living being like Kira and Trunks too. And yet there was something about his charisma that made him unique, but that didn't occur to him until much later.


“How do you know our name?” That came from Kira, who let go of Trunks after he gently put her hand aside. He lifted his nose again, adjusted his sword on his back, and returned all his attention to the conversation.


Leigo smiled again. "I had a vision in which a warrior was revealed to me who is in the company of a key and a girl. He named the girl Krau'thil, the warrior's name was Tarin'thol. Your names translated into my mother tongue. I saw you clearly in my vision, just as you look now. Except that you, Kira, were wearing a summer dress. "


“A summer dress?” Kira stared at him as if he had just said she'd run naked across the planet.


"A key ..." Trunks muttered, searching the pockets of his clothes.His hand produced five capsules, along with a small keychain his mother had given him, which she said was the first present his father had given her. This pendant had always made him happy, especially since he was part of his father. But now he made him sad and fear re-germinated in him. But he fought against it, pulled himself together and even managed a slight smile. Still, he had the feeling that Leigo had seen through him. “I don't have a key with me. You?” He glanced into the bag of magic beans, but couldn't find a key there either.


Kira followed his request and searched her pockets as well. She also brought out a few utensils, a minicomputer, a small boomerang and a photo with a smiling woman on it. Trunks wanted to take a quick look, but she quickly put it back in her pocket.

"Nothing that comes close to a key, you must have been wrong."


"No, my visions are never wrong!"


"Sure, what are you? A fortune teller? Maybe you just mistook a key for a sword. Should happen." Kira rolled her eyes in annoyance, while her sarcastic words echoed in the minds of the people present. Leigo's smile faded and gave way to pure anger. He took a step towards Kira, raising his hand slightly to strike. Kira just stuck her chin out belligerently, her eyes narrowed, like they had been the whole time. Only Trunks prevented the situation from escalating by firmly stepping between them. "In case you haven't noticed, we really have other problems. My mother is in the hands of this creep. I don't know about you, but I don't want to waste time standing here arguing over small things."He said all of this slowly, the words looking even more threatening than they already were.


Nobody replied to that. What should they have said too? Both just lowered their eyes and looked a little guiltily at the floor.


"So," Trunks caught up on the lost thread of conversation, "You said it would be our death if we went into the mine. What did you mean by that?"


“Isn't that obvious?” Leigo gave him an astonished look that was given to a small child who showed greater clumsiness than what one would have thought him to be. "They have your mother, they know that intruders are here. Besides, Storg noticed that Kira had fled a month ago. And if you put one and one together, you know that you would try to free Kira's family. The whole mine is full of guards. You would be dead and so will I if I don't go back soon. "

Kira blinked in confusion, while Trunks showed no emotion. He just listened, letting his brain do all the work to draw the right conclusions from what he was saying. "Why are you doing that? You were Storg's subject and now you are a hunted because you saved two complete strangers. I don't understand!" That came from Kira, whose suspicions had subsided. On the contrary, Leigo's story seemed to impress her.


Leigo smiled. "I haven't saved any complete strangers. Rather the two who have the power to destroy Storg. I had this vision and I felt that you were nearby." become. "Don't worry, I'm the only Honthan who can track down people despite ki suppression. A unique gift here that was given to me. In any case, I thought you wanted to attack at night, just like Storgs People.I couldn't let you run into the knife even though you almost got it done. "He rubbed his left cheek, exaggeratedly insulted, which was hit by Trunks violently and began to swell." Then it would have been over with rescue. And you wouldn't be here now. You don't say thank you on your planet, do you? "


Kira and Trunks exchanged a quick look. Neither of them knew whether to trust Leigo. A small voice in his subconscious said that it was by no means wrong to trust him, but Trunks had never liked to listen to this voice. Still, they would have no choice.


"And what do you think we should do?" he spoke up again, deliberately ignoring the last, slightly mocking sentence.


Leigo just shrugged. "Wait and see and drink tea, as the saying goes ..." He grinned broadly.


Trunks couldn't tell later what it was that aroused his anger.The nonsensical sentence or the grin itself. In any case, he stepped menacingly close to Leigo, grabbed his collar and lifted him up a little. His eyes flashed with anger, his left hand was clenched into a fist. His fingernails dug deep into his palm, leaving small marks. But he didn't care. "Listen, my mother is in his power. And I definitely won't wait and drink tea. That's not my style, you know. So, finally come out with something that could be useful to us." His voice was quietly, almost in a whisper. But all the more threatening that even Kira felt a cold shiver down her spine. But of course Trunks didn't notice anything, he still had the collar of Leigo's clothes in his right hand.


Leigo, on the other hand, seemed
