"That's the monster?" Videl stopped the purposeful rush toward the rampaging goliath formed out of Destron Gas. "What even is that?"

"Don't know, don't care!" young Trunks took a fighting stance and went onward swinging. In a single dash, he closed the distance between him and Destron Garlick Jr. The young Saiyan swung his foot over the head, accumulating strength in it before crashing it down to meet Garlick's raised arm. Immediately switching it up, Trunks exploded in a flurry of left leg kicks, thrusting all around the chest and stomach of his oversized opponent.

"Eagle Kick!" Videl came soaring over Trunks' head. Garlick Jr. caught her foot and swung her around, but Videl quickly recovered by driving her free leg into the side of Garlick's neck. This made the giant flinch and stagger away from the pair. Down on the ground level, people were shuffling around and fleeing for their life. The police cars had been parked all around the place, but given how high up the battle was taking place, they stayed content, just standing by and waiting for a chance to be useful.

"Just stay out of my way! This guy's really strong, he's my chance of becoming a Super Saiyan!" Trunks chastised Videl for her assistance, making the teen throw her arms in irritation. Before he could hear her response, Trunks took off toward Garlick Jr. The eyes of the Destron Gas monster flashed red as red lines quickly sketched over Trunks' head and a massive building appeared out of thin blue. Crashing down like the meteor, the building ended up trapping Trunks underneath it while Garlick Jr. wound his fist back and smashed into it, blowing the airborne building to smithereens and marveling at the debris.

"That's... Magic Materialization, just like Kami Upa... Who is this guy?" Videl observed the uncanny abilities of their opponent. Whatever the Destron Gas created out of the permeating ephemeral feelings lingering in the region was a powerful combatant, but it was also capable of magical abilities too. This made Videl wonder if perhaps Chayote or Gohan and his family had ever run into this monster before.

"Are you okay?" Videl looked down to Trunks, who soared upward surrounded by a lively aura and had a face twisted in anger. He had a few minor scratches and dirt patches on his clothes but, other than that, he was tougher than having a skyscraper flung and blown up in his face.

"Just got caught off guard, shut up!" Trunks lashed out. "That's it, now this guy's gonna pay!"

"Calm down, let's fight him together. He's not just an ordinary powerhouse, he's got magical abilities too. Who knows what other tricks he might have?" Videl sighed in frustration. It wasn't at all surprising how stubborn young Trunks was. He was Vegeta's son after all and, based on the few impressions Videl had of the man, he was a tad hard to work with too. Then there was the issue of Trunks not even being fully five years old yet...

"Just stay back and go help the people or something... This guy's mine. Once I become a Super Saiyan, none of his magical tricks will work on me!" Trunks growled and rushed at his opponent with a fist wound up behind his back. Garlick Jr's eyes flashed again, creating an airborne blizzard of magically augmented glass shards rushing straight for young Trunks, but the speedy brat vanished and appeared much lower, directly by Garlick's abdomen, and smashed his elbow into the monster's gut.

This made the Destron Gas monster stagger back, frothing from the mouth and looking pitiful in its painful misery. Trunks vanished and appeared over Garlick's head, slamming both his arms down in a double ax handle, then moving on to a flurry of jabs and hooks to pummel his opponent about and wear down their durability and stamina some more before the young Saiyan could execute a finishing blow on the Destron Gas monster.

After a handful of strikes, the young Saiyan slipped in a stronger hook or two, smacking Garlick Jr.'s jaw, his gut, his chin, and every sensitive weak spot that Trunks found an opening on. A crystal-clear aura surrounded young Trunks as he exploded with a wrathful rush of strikes, just decimating the monster with thunderous cracks before yelling out when the burn on his stamina became too much to ignore. A booming explosive energy wave threw Garlick Jr. flying aside. The Destron Gas monster reeled by clutching his injuries.
