Boy Meets Girls
Chapter 5: The Hopeless Couple
Part Two
------------------------------
Makoto was loosing her bad temper as they resumed walking [You're
such a strange guy Trunks.] she thought [I wonder if I'll ever be
able to figure you out...]. Even if the date didn't turn the way she
planed the end result wasn't so bad after all, she could feel there
was a big break through in this "relationship", after all, this was
the first time Trunks voluntarily offered his hand, a few days back
she would've still tried to pull out a stunt to grab him.
"I know!" Trunks brought out "How about I take you to a movie
tomorrow to compensate for what happened today?"
"Sure, that would be great!" Makoto responded, it was nice seeing him
take the initiative for a change "What would you like to see?"
"Well..." Trunks began "I saw this movie being announced in T.V. last
day, it appears to be a classic, I think it's called F..."
Trunks was suddenly interrupted as a huge explosion was heard a few
streets away from were they stood.
"What was that??" Makoto asked
"Let's go see!" Trunks implied "Someone might need help!"
Both ran to were the explosion was heard hoping that it was nothing
serious, although by the sound it made that idea was quickly thrown
away. As the couple turned to the last street they saw the cause of
all the trouble. A few crushed cars were on fire, but what caught
more their attention was the monster that caused the accident, it was
a huge blob with four tentacles stretching out of it's ectoplasmic
body, it left slowly from the crash site.
"Ewww...What on Earth is THAT disgusting thing???" Makoto asked
even if she knew the answer.
"Must be another one of those monsters!!" Trunks responded [Damn it!
I have to get her out of here and find a place so I can change into
my costume]
[I have to get him out of here so I can transform!] Makoto thought,
both were looking at each other trying to find a way out of this
mess.
"STOP!!!" said a voice up on a building
Everyone turned around to face the monster's challenger, they saw the
Sailor Senshi (except Sailor Jupiter) striking silly poses with
threatening looks in there eyes.
"You disgusting pink jello-thing have caused all this mess..." Sailor
Moon stated striking her usual poses "You have no right to..."
"Hey Usagi!" interrupted Sailor Mars
"What??" she asked
"I don't think it's listening!" she explained as she pointed out at
the blob, she was quite right, the thing was just tearing up the
place minding it's own business and completely ignoring the Senshi.
"How.......How DARE he ignore my entrance!!!!!" Sailor Moon said
furious "Let's get him girls!!!" as the four girls jumped from the
building towards there adversary.
Trunks and Makoto watched in confusion what just happened. After
recovering from the strange introduction, Trunks took firmly Makoto's
arm, "Let's go!" he said
"Hun???... but..." Makoto asked confused
"You have to get out of here!" Trunks explained "I'll try to find a
phone and call the police, you get out of here NOW, I don't want you
to get hurt!"
Makoto normally would've complained about that, but since she needed
to transform without reveling her identity she accepted and left the
battle field in search of a more desolate place. Trunks took a
different way than hers, since he couldn't transform like Makoto, he
had to find a place to change were nobody could see him.
"CRESCENT BEAM SHOWER!!"
Sailor Venus' attack spliced in several beams as all of them struck
the enemy. The blob didn't even bother in avoiding the attack, the
blasts went right through its body leaving several holes. Minako's
attack didn't seem to injure him a lot as they all saw how the holes
filled back, the blob regained its former undamaged appearance.
"It didn't work!" she said surprised "It's like shooting at water!"
"Except that this looks a lot more disgusting than water!" Sailor
Mars added
Even though the creature didn't sustained any damage, it certainly
noticed it was being attacked now. As it left the mail box that it
was trying to eat, it faced the attackers striking them with all four
of its tentacles. The Senshi started dodging the blows, unlike the
rest of it's body these tentacles were hard as stone, Sailor Mercury
was the first one to notice this as one of the them sent her against
a wall.
Meanwhile, in another place not far away, Trunks suddenly stopped in
front of a phone booth and looked at it. [I don't think so!] he
thought as he kept looking for another place to change.
"SUPREME THUNDER!!"
A lighting bolt came from down the street making impact against the
blob. The thing reacted by shaking up at the unexpected attack but
nothing else happened.
Sailor Jupiter ran to join the rest of the Senshi, Sailor Moon was
helping Sailor Mercury to recover.
"Amy, do you think you can find that thing's weak point?" Sailor Moon
asked
"I'll try!" she responded as a blue visor appeared in front of her
eyes and she began tapping on her portable computer.
The blob recovered from the attack, if that thing had a face it
certainly would be an angry face. By using its tentacles it
re-engaged combat, only this time it wasn't delivering blows, what
the blob tried to do was getting a hold of them. The Senshi once
again started to dodge the attacks and looking for cover (which is
one of the most common things they do during combat). Sailor Mars and
Sailor Venus were finally caught by the monster, it took them with
it's tentacles and started shaking them in the air, not only that,
but it began strangling them as well.
"We have to cut them loose!" Sailor Moon declared, she took off the
tiara from her forehead. The tiara began to flow with energy "MOON
TIARA ACT..."
Suddenly, a black blurry form flew by the monster's tentacles cutting
both Senshi loose.
"Hun???" Sailor Moon asked still holding her tiara in confusion.
Everyone now was looking at the new challenger floating in mid air
while holding both Sailor Mars and Venus. He wore a black outfit and
mask and was caring a sword on his back.
'Who is that?' 'Another Super hero?' 'Wow! check out the hair do!!'
people started saying
"Super Saiya-man!!!" said Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury with new
hope.
The two rescuees gazed upon there savior, Sailor V had that *My hero*
look on her face, Mars on the other hand was more surprised, one
moment she was being strangled by a monster and now she was flying
while being held by a rather well built guy as she could feel it.
[Am I dead and flying to heaven?] she thought, although she felt a
very familiar sensation as she was close to this guy [That strange
energy I've been feeling lately... It's coming from him!]
The three reached the ground softly, Rei was still looking confused
at her savior but most of all by the energy he was radiating.
"Are you all right?" he asked them, both of them nodded in answer
"I'll take care of that thing!"
Trunks moved in front of the blob, he noticed that his adversary's
tentacles grew back after being cut. Wasting no time he began to make
some strange arm moves preparing to shoot his trademarked ki attack.
"BURNING ATTACK!!!"
The blast was fast and precise, it went right through the creature.
Unfortunately, it had the same effect that Venus' Crescent Beam
Shower, the blob had a huge hole in the center of its body but it
began to regenerate and therefore sustaining no damage what so ever,
the building behind the monster wasn't so lucky by the way, it
started to crumble after receiving Trunks' blast, fortunately no one
was inside the building at that time.
"Something's wrong here!" Trunks implied a little concerned "My blast
should have blown up by making contact with that thing, it shouldn't
have gone through it!"
"It's because of its metabolism." Sailor Mercury explained still
while consulting her computer "That monster can change from a solid
to a liquid state at will, we have to find another way to defeat it!"
"I'll try to zap him again!" Sailor Jupiter said "I think my bolts
have some effect on him."
"SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!!!"
A snake like bolt came out of Sailor Jupiter's tiara at least twice
as big as the last one. The bolt struck the blob causing it to shake
once again but this time more intensively. Unfortunately, it didn't
seam to do anything else beyond that, the blob resumed attacking
again as soon as it stopped from shaking, this time it was more
aggressive.
"I think you're right!" Usagi observed while dodging one of the
tentacles "It does have some effect on him. It makes him angrier!"
The blob was angry, it has been zapped twice in a single day, and
nothing upset it more than that, it was time to dispose of that tall
girl in green.
Trunks took his sword and began to slice the tentacles again with no
great success as they quickly grew back, he started to notice
something odd about the blob. It began to stretch like a cat about to
jumps on a mouse. The mouse in this case was Sailor Jupiter, Trunks
quickly flew to protect her.
The blob launched itself towards its pray with a speed no one
expected it would've had, Trunks managed to push her away from the
danger, unfortunately, that made HIM the target now, it was too late
to avoid the attack so he put his arms in front of his face to reduce
the strength of the blow.
Much to his surprise, he didn't receive a huge blow, instead he was
wrapped up by the blob being now stuck inside the creature. The blob
had him captured inside of itself which seemed to be the way it ate
its victims. Trunks was running out of air.
"We have to get him out of there or he'll suffocate." stated Sailor
Mercury
"How can we get him out without hurting him?" Sailor Mars asked
Inside the blob, Trunks was holding his breath, when he trained back
home he had to hold his breath several times, so far he could still
do it for another couple of minutes but that wasn't the problem,
Trunks felt a burning sensation all over his body, the heat was
starting to eat through his clothes not to mention his skin. If he
didn't hurry he would be this creature's lunch. He decided to stay
calm, he slowly began to gather all his ki, his muscles began to
stretch and a yellow aura began to form around him.
"What is he doing?" asked Sailor Venus even if she knew that her
friends wouldn't give her an answer.
The blob stopped moving, it seemed to be in pain. From the inside,
Trunks was still gathering his ki, it was time to release it in a
single blow, the blob started to inflate like a balloon.
[If I can't destroy you from outside] Trunks thought [maybe I can
destroy you from the inside!]
An enraged scream came out of Trunks' mouth releasing all his ki,
the blob exploded staining pink jello-stuff all over the place.
Trunks stood in the center of the explosion eyes and fist closed, the
place was a real mess.
The five Senshi watched in amazement what happened, Sailor Venus was
the first to run towards Super Saiya-man to see if he was okay.
"Super Saiya-man, are you all right??" she asked with a concern tone
of voice "Your arm it's..." as she noticed the burning marks
"It's fine don't worry!" he said as he opened his eyes "I heal up
pretty fast." he began to clean his clothes with his hand from the
oozy remains that remained stuck. The rest of the Senshi joined them.
"Thanks for helping us again!" Sailor Jupiter said "You were really a
big help!"
"Don't mention it!" he responded still cleaning himself, he noticed
that Sailor Mars was looking at him in a rather intrigued and
distrustful way [Why is she looking at me that way?]
"Uh oh, It's still alive!" Sailor Mercury brought up as she was the
first to notice that the blob began to gather up from the parts that
were scattered all over the place.
"What???" Sailor Mars asked surprised "How are we suppose to get rid
of it??"
In a couple of seconds, the blob was rebuilt, although the streets
were clean again, that wasn't such a big relief.
"I've had enough of this!!" Sailor Moon declared as she pulled out
her scepter
"MOON PRINCESS HALATION!!"
The blast struck the blob but turned out to be useless as it was
still there preparing to counterattack.
"Sailor Mercury, haven't you found that thing's weak point YET!!"
Sailor Moon asked
"Well... we could still try to damage it with fire based attacks, but
I'm not sure if..." she began
"Say no more!!" Sailor Mars interrupted as she gathered her index
fingers
"FIRE SOUL!!!"
A fireball came out of Rei's index fingers targeting the blob. The
creature turned into a liquid state before the fireball reached it,
as if it did that by natural instinct, it immediately fled by the
sewers avoiding completely Sailor Mars' attack.
"Damn it!!" Rei said "It ran away!"
"That thing must know its own weak point," Amy stated "I think that
fire can destroy it, that's why it ran away!"
"But how are we going to find it?" Sailor Moon asked "It could be
anywhere by now!"
"It's still here!" Super Saiya-man responded, everyone looked at him
awaiting for an explanation "I can still feel it's presence, it's
trying to surprise us!" his eyes scoured the place and finally
stopped in front of a nearby sewer "There!!" he said shooting a ki
bolt out of the palm of his hand into the sewer, the blob came out of
there surprised.
Taking the initiative, Sailor Mercury gathered both of her hands
creating a small foggy sphere, then she threw it to her opponent.
"SHABON SPRAY FREEZE" she shouted as her attack hit the monster and
imprisoned it inside a block of ice
"Good work!" Sailor Venus stated "Now we have to put it somewhere it
doesn't escape!"
Everyone started looking for something to put the blob into, Trunks
noticed a water tank on top of a building with the appropriate
measures. He flew towards it cutting it loose and emptying it from
the water, then he took it to the ground and put the frozen blob
inside. The creature wouldn't be able to get out of there easily.
"Now how are we suppose to finish him off from down here?" Sailor
Mars asked him, the tank was quite large and you had to be in a
higher position in order to see what was inside.
Trunks didn't even bothered to answer, he took Rei in his arms and
started levitating on top of the tank. Rei was taken by surprise,
although she wasn't offering any resistance for that matter, the
energy that came out of Trunks made her uncomfortable but she didn't
complain. Once on top of the tank, Trunks held her in a way she could
launch her attack, the ice was already melting and the blob was
trying to get out, it was technically speaking, like a duck inside a
barrel. Rei threw one of her spirit wards into the air and began
gathering fire at the tip of her fingers.
"FIRE SOUL... BIRD!!!"
The fire ball took the shape of a phoenix when it hit the ward and
flew right inside the tank, the blob started to incinerate, it was
convulsing in a very painful way. From outside of the tank, people
could only hear the fire crackling and the noise coming to an end as
the blob died slowly.
Rei and Trunks started descending.
"Is it dead now?" Sailor Moon asked Sailor Mercury.
Amy started scanning the tank with her visor while getting some
reading, after a few moments she took it off and turned towards the
other Senshi and Super Saiya-man.
"It's definitively dead," she spoke in relief "there are no life
readings inside the tank anymore!"
Everyone sighed in relief, Trunks began to walk away from the
Senshi in search of Makoto, now he had to find a place where he could
change back into his usual clothes. Sailor Jupiter saw him leave.
"Wait!!" she said, but Super Saiya-man disappeared in a blurry
vision. Makoto then remembered she had to find Trunks, she was hoping
that nothing had happened to him.
Moments later, Makoto (in her civilian clothes) wandered around the
streets looking for Trunks, she left the others without saying a
word. On another street, Trunks was doing the same thing, he took a
last look at his injured arm before putting on his jacket. The
burning experience he had felt inside the blob left quite a little
souvenir but nothing some bandages and medication couldn't fix. His
Super Saiya-man costume on the other hand was beyond repair, tomorrow
he'd have to buy another one. His biggest concern at the moment was
if Mako-chan was all right. A few minutes later, they managed to find
each other on the street.
"Are you okay??" Trunks asked her concerned "Where have you been?
I've been looking all over for you?"
"I'm okay, don't worry!" she responded "How about you?"
"I'm fine thanks," he said "I think I better get you home before
something else shows up!"
"Sure, let's go!" she joyfully replied as she instinctively took
Trunks by the arm.
As you might of guessed, Makoto took Trunks' WOUNDED arm which didn't
exactly gave him a pleasant experience during the rest of the walk
(I think it's one of Murphy's laws!). Makoto was way to happy for
finding Trunks that she didn't even noticed his expressions of pain
each time she held his arm tighter, her abnormal strength didn't help
much either to reduce the pain. After walking a few more blocks, they
finally reached Makoto's place much to Trunks' relief.
"Well... guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow!" Makoto stated coming to
a stop and releasing Trunks' arm.
"Guess so!" Trunks responded happy to feel his arm again.
The light was perfect for a romantic moment as Makoto noticed, the
stars were shining and there wasn't a single soul from where they
stood. A first kiss would be perfect about now, but after the event
at the movie theater she was certain that such a thing wouldn't be
happening any time soon. There was no way she could imagine Trunks
pulling a pass like that on her, and she was to tired to even try.
"Don't move!" Trunks told her as he took her face between his hands.
To say that Makoto was surprised would've been an understatement, she
was speechless as she felt Trunks' hands gently holding her head, his
hands weren't even sweaty.
[Oh my God!!! Is he going to kiss me???] she thought
Trunks' head approached hers, his mouth opened lightly, everything
pointed out that he was going for it. Makoto's face was redder than
ever, she closed her eyes and prepared herself to receive the long
awaited kiss.
[Finally!!! After so long!!!] she thought
Once her eyes closed, she felt a light blow on her cheek. Trunks
released her right after that.
"There!" he said
"Hun????? Wha........What....." she asked confused, instead of
getting a kiss she got a blow on the cheek???
"You had an eyelash on your cheek," Trunks explained "I just blew it
off, is there something wrong?"
"Hu... No! Nothing is wrong!" she said very disappointed although she
managed to cover it with a smile.
"Well then, I think I'll be going now." he said putting his hands in
his pockets "I'll see you tomorrow!"
Makoto saw him leave, walking down the street, she was still
blushing.
[He's hopeless!] she though as he dropped out of sight
Although she still remembered the warm sensation she felt when he
grabbed her face.
"Well I don't care!!!" she said to herself "He will be mine. Oh yes,
he will be!" (We see a background in flames form behind Makoto
interpreting her determination).
