Hope of a Saiyan

Trunks screamed, slicing apart a thestral that lashed a sword in his direction. The Saiyan grunted, elbowing a gargoyle, dodging the spear he lashed out. He extended a hand, blowing up the rock creature instantly with a powerful ki blast.

The half-Saiyan turned his head, grabbing the spear wielded by another gargoyle and threw the being over his shoulder, the collision to the ground shattering it.

Seeing a pink beam heading for him, Trunks swiped it away with a flick of an arm, causing it to hit a dragon, making it explode. "I'm not playing around... You're lucky I'm not up to full strength..." he panted, glaring at Starlight.

"And why should I be concerned?" the unicorn wondered, not afraid of Trunks.

Trunks clenched his fists, "Because I can end this entire army..." he growled boastfully. "My power is beyond anything you've probably seen." he whispered.

Starlight smirked, "Ha! As if I'd fall for your bluff. Granted, you are unique, but I very much doubt you're as powerful as I say you are. Typical hero bragging." she waved off with a hoof.

Hissing, Trunks vanished in a blur, his fist colliding with a dragon's nose so hard that it grabbed it and roared in pain. The Saiyan flew again, roundhouse kicking the creature in the side of the head, launching it a few feet. He landed, slashing his sword across a thestral's chest, killing it there.

Three gargoyles and a changeling charged after him. Trunks turned his eyes to see them and he screamed "Masenko!" two large beams of yellow was released from his palms, creating an explosion strong enough to disintergrate the nearby opposition. The half-Saiyan panted, his arms limp.

A stinging sensation hit Trunks in the back, making him fall on the ground on his stomach. He grunted in pain, seeing smoke exhume from his jacket. 'That was a stronger beam of magic than I thought... Starlight's on another level. Almost as powerful as Babidi and Dabura. Perhaps even moreso.' he thought, lying on his back to face the unicorn.

"I'll admit... That surprised me." Starlight muttered, taking slow steps closer to the Saiyan. Her green eyes glared daggers on Trunks, who refused to budge. "But it seems like every other hero who seeked to liberate this land... You must die!" she growled, charging a beam from her horn.

In the blink of an eye, Trunks sat up, sword in hand and raised it over his head. Luckily for Starlight, she saw the attack coming and erected a forcefield around her, protecting her from the blade strike. He hopped back, seeing the surprise attack was for naught. "Don't think I didn't see that coming." she boasted.

Trunks extended a hand, "Masenko!" he shouted, hoping to break through the forcefield, to seemingly no effect. "Huh. Guess I underestimated your magic."

The dictator unicorn chuckled, "Of course you did. I am a magical prodigy, up there with the late Twilight Sparkle." after saying that name, the green in her eyes faded, causing her to hold her head in pain again, as though she was resisting something. "O-Ow... W-Why..." she muttered, "A-Attack!"

Seeing the army coming for him, Trunks lunged forward, using his sword to block a thestral's sword. A vertical collision. A horizontal collision. Sparks lit up from the clanging of their metal weapons and they were moving at a suprisingly fast pace, catching even Trunks off guard, who had to move at such speeds for the Androids and Cell. He stabbed the monster with ease, removing his sword from their impaled chest and faced a gargoyle.

The gargoyle lashed their spear in his direction, which the Saiyan swerved to dodge, his feet above the ground. He kneed the rock creature before driving both of his hands to the back of its head, breaking it into pieces. The rest of the body collapse instantly, shattering as well.

Trunks slashed his sword on a changeling, green liquid pouring out of their side as they buckled under the pain. The bug creatures with horns all shot magic at them. The Saiyan powered up a little, charging his ki, an aura surrounding his body as his scream got louder in each passing second. "Hhhhhaaaaaaaa!"

Flying ahead, Trunks uppercutted a changeling, breaking its jaw with one punch. The remaining two shot missing blasts of magic at the future Saiyan, allowing him an opening. He thrusted both hands forward once again, repeatedly shooting ki blasts in their direction, covering the ground in smoke, giving him a chance to run through the monsters, his sword impaling one as he passed them before he grabbed it.

Trunks then noticed Starlight getting back to her senses, her gaze focused on him. The Saiyan saw the neverending army come for him. He was tired. He couldn't power up more with overexerting himself. He was quickly running out of options. Despite this setback, however, he gripped his sword, ready to face anything that stood in his way.

"Grraaahh!"

He swiped horizontally, slashing a gargoyle. The Saiyan grabbed the shield he was holding, placing it in front of him while spinning in order to deflect a magic volt shot by Starlight. "Just die, outsider! What happens in this world is none of your business!" she hissed, trying to hurt Trunks.

The future warrior exhaled sharply, "Any world that has fallen to ruins is my business! If I'm around, you're damn right I'm going to save it!" he declared, tossing the shield at a thestral, knocking it out after it hit its chest. Starlight once again attempted to hit Trunks, ans the Sayian responded by flying back, allowing it to hit five goons, making them combust from the energy. 'I have to get out of here... Have to find a way to dwindle their numbers...'

He was tired. Despite the Senzu bean, it could only do so much once immediately brought into a fight like this and fighting to his absolute limit. The stress made Trunks worry a little, despite not showing it. He cut more changelings, killing them. Trunks punched through the chest of a gargoyle. It was an endless cycle, topped with having to worry about Starlight, who he landed a powerful kick onto, the unicorn getting her bearings and catching herself in midair.

As Trunks was ready to follow up, he spotted capsules in the air, looking like they were tossed and falling in an arch near his direction. He recognized them as weapons from his world and covered his mouth and nose with his ascot. The capsules landed, catching the minions off guard. They all took a glance at it before smoke popped out, covering the already dark area. Trunks grinned at the sight of the goons couing, 'Tear gas. That should hold them off. But who launched it?'

"Psst!"

The Saiyan turned around, seeing a cloaked pony in a gas mask, "Come with me, stranger. We won't be followed."

"Who are you?" Trunks whispered.

"Just listen, unless you wish to fall here."

With no other option, Trunks nodded. He expected to run, but instead found himself teleporting, realizing the stranger had a white horn with a green aura. Once they were ready, the unicorn warped Trunks away from the battlefield. Once the smoke cleared, Starlight and the others saw that Trunks vanished.

Groaning, Starlight screamed, "The Rebels! Of course they had to pop in!" she growled, looking around for the half-Saiyan, but he was gone.

"Ya think he was workin' for them?" a gargoyle asked.

The unicorn shook her head, "No. This was someone else. A so-called her. He thinks he can save this world, but many have tried before. I will alert the others of this happening and prepare for him."

Starlight paused, breathing heavily. "We'll meet again, Saiyan." she said the last word with disgust, having made a new enemy this day.
