clearly saw the pride that spoke volumes in his mother's eyes. He smiled back briefly, but then turned to Storg.


"So I'll come to my revenge after all," he muttered to himself, while an expression of anticipation appeared on his face. This time Trunks raised an eyebrow questioningly. "What do you mean by that?"


Storg gave him a quick look. It seemed to be working in his brain. Two huge opinions clashed and fought an uphill battle. However, as is the case with fights, only one could win and Trunks could be happy that the right side won.

"I'm not one of those idiots who babble a little too much shortly before victory and then get killed by their own knowledge." He began. He looked thoughtfully at his mother again and smiled coldly. "I tortured Vegeta's wife. If I had only known that earlier, I would have enjoyed it even more. That he had ever got involved with an earth woman. Did your father become a slipper, eh? Did he have to when he did." is already dead. "His words were pure mockery, which caused anger in Trunks. "Talk at last!" he hissed menacingly.


"Your father humiliated me once. A long time ago. We were both with Freezer. What a strong fighter Freezer was back then. I thought then, now I'm far superior to him. Everyone wanted to work with Freezer, every planet and everyone proud man. No wonder he had the power and everyone knew that. Except maybe your father. I suppose he went to him and then sneakily kills him.I think he did, but it doesn't matter. But Freezer only took the best under his wing. He organized fights, the victors were accepted. Now it was that my last fight was against your father. I was young then, the strongest of my people. I was chosen to be part of Freezer so that my people would be safe. But your father had ruined that. He made me stand there like an idiot, wiped me out until I couldn't even stand on my feet. Shortly thereafter, Freezer destroyed my home planet and I swore vengeance. For a long time I was on your father's heels, watching him as he wanted to conquer the earth. Who would have thought that he would stay there ... "Storg's words were full of hatred and inexorable anger. He had clenched his hands into fists while he was talking. Trunks had only listened attentively, a light finally seemed to rise in him to be.


"That's why," he whispered, "that's why you enslave the Sajajins!"

"Sure, I lost your father shortly after his campaign on earth. I wandered through space for a long time until I discovered Honth. And at the same time the new home of the surviving Sajajins. I thought if I torment them he would come and be Save the people. How should I know that he was dead. But now you are here, his son. His blood runs in your veins. Could be an interesting fight after all. But your death sentence for you! "


Trunks just gave him a scornful look. "You are crazy!" he let out, to which Storg nodded. “Yes, insane and unpredictable.” He clapped his hands, making everyone startle. Even Leigo let out a low moan. "Vegeta's son. You can make a decision!"


"What?" asked Trunks. Storg nodded, first looking at Bulma, then at Kira, whose face went white as chalk. "Two of your friends are staying here. And since I want to tackle this traitor personally again, you can find out which of the two ladies is allowed to spend the rest of the night in the castle."He now had a slightly smug undertone in his voice.


Trunks now faced the decision of his life. He looked at his mother, whose body was so battered, then at Kira who looked at him with a pale face. And he knew one thing, he couldn't make that decision. How could he leave any of them in that creep's hands? "What shoud that?" he asked instead to buy some time.


"Your father was a coward. And I want this fight tomorrow. If you don't show up, I'll kill her. Well, whether there will be anything left of your friend is questionable. So how do you decide?"


This time his voice was clearly threatening and demanding. He had to make a decision now whether he liked it or not. But how could he put either of them in Storg's hands? It was like signing a death warrant for you. His mother was unlikely to survive another night, but could he just leave Kira here?No, he did love her. He could never forgive himself if something happened to her. But neither could he forgive himself if anything happened to his mother. It was maddening. He could twist it or turn it around, but in the end it was just as crappy.


A hand on his shoulder made him wince. He saw Kira next to him, who was looking at him fearfully, but also determined. “I'll go and take care of Leigo,” she said in a firm voice. Trunks tried to fend off, but she didn't even let him have a say. "Damn it, your mother is probably more important. Listen ..." she lowered her voice so that only he could hear her. "Give me one of these magic beans. I will then give it to Leigo." With that she hugged him tenderly, let her left hand slide over his back. With her right hand she unobtrusively looked for the little sack and picked a magic bean, which she quickly slipped into her pocket. She smiled as she approached Storg."He made his decision, I'll go!"


Trunks wanted to hold her back, wanted to argue. But he didn't get around to it. Storg grabbed her wrist and pulled her close. Now she was in his arms with a slightly frightened look in her eyes as the guards let go of his mother and she fell to the floor. At the same time they stepped up and roughly lifted Leigo so that he gave a low cry of pain. Trunks took it all out of the corner of his eye. He only saw Kira in the clutches of this creep and his voice was trembling with hatred when he yelled at Storg: "If you twist her hair, you will be very sorry!"

Change of scene (actually I didn't want to do that, but well, you at least want to know how Kira and Leigo are doing under Storg's captivity!)




A light ray of sunlight came through the bars high above her and tickled her nose.She was sitting on the hard stone floor with her knees drawn tight to her and her arms folded around her, her back leaning against the wall. She didn't know how long she'd been sitting there, far away in her mind. Time seemed to obey different rules down here. A second became an hour and an hour became an eternity. Storg had paid no more attention to her, had had his disgusting helpers take her away. But he had taken Leigo with him with a brutal smile. Shortly afterwards the whole floor was filled with Leigo's screams. It was horrible, so horrible that she sat shivering with her hands pressed tightly to her ears. But it was of no use, the scream got through them and rang in their ears. Again, she couldn't tell how long it was. After half an eternity it was suddenly quiet, the screaming stopped abruptly, so that she was afraid she would have killed him. But she quickly dismissed that thought.

She looked at the small window across from her. It was placed very high, and even when she got on her knees, she couldn't look out. She first had to fly up to see the closer landscape. She had done that too at the beginning, had stayed in the air for a long time and looked outside. But then she got too tired and sat down on the cold stone floor.


Thoughtfully, she pulled the magic beans out of her pocket and looked at them. She saw herself sitting on the beach with Trunks and exchanging their first kiss. And the promise that connects them. That bean was the only thing she had left of him. Trunks. It was maddening. She couldn't get it out of her head. She wasn't sure if she could say that she really loved him. She wasn't even sure if she trusted him. But wasn't trust the feeling on which love is built? Perhaps, it occurred to her sadly, she would never really feel love.

With a loud bang the bolt on the other side was pulled back and the heavy iron door swung open. Two guards entered, carrying a battered and groaning figure in the middle. Leigo looked up briefly, saw Kira hurrying towards him. The guards just dropped him and left without saying anything. All she heard was the bolt being pushed back.


"Leigo, are you all right?" she asked, carefully rolling him onto his back. Leigo opened his eyes with difficulty, gave Kira a withering look. "That's the stupidest question I've ever heard in my life. And I can tell you that I've already seen a lot with my 89 years!" Kira smiled slightly, he still had his sense of humor, so he should be right go well. "89? You held yourself well ..."


"Wear anti-wrinkle cream every day. You have to do it, these things are real miracle cures." He smiled slightly, but then made a sore grimace with his face.Kira smiled, then picked up the magic bean and brought it to his mouth. "Here, eat this, that will get you back on your feet. At least Trunks said it!" Leigo examined the bean briefly. "Trunks? This boy would be able to run after any guru like mad. And now should I trust his word?" He rolled his eyes, but then caught Kira's angry look. "Hey, be careful. Just watch what you say" And before Leigo could reply anything, she stuffed the magic bean into his mouth. He chewed on her slowly while his face screwed up again in pain. But then it was over. All wounds disappeared without a trace and he got up quickly as if nothing had happened.


Both were amazed. Especially Leigo, who looked in amazement at his hands and used them to search his whole body for any wounds. Of course he found nothing. "Man, I take it all back!" he muttered in disbelief. Kira looked at him in amazement."Are you doing well?" she asked cautiously, still not believing what she had played a few seconds ago. Leigo nodded, grinning broadly. “I've never felt better.” He looked around, looked briefly at the window, through which rays of sun shone on the floor and brought in at least a little bit of
