The Legend Comes to Life

Kami's Lookout was in sight. According to Roshi, Korin Tower was just underneath it. But, looking down, all 18 saw where clouds. It didn't surprise her, Kami's Lookout was miles in the sky.

'So, straight down.'

She flew down at a ninety-degree angle. Kami's Lookout became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared from view completely. But soon another object came into view. An impossibly tall structure with a dome-like top had appeared. 18 figured that it was safe to say that this was Korin Tower.

"This must be it." she muttered. Flying inside, she began frantically searching for this talking cat called Korin. "Hey, cat, where are you?"

"Show some respect. I'm no ordinary house cat." He made his appearance, walking up the stairs. "I'm an 800 year old martial arts master, not some pretty kitty to come when called."

18 didn't have time to get into a debate. "If you're so great, then you should know what's going on down there! The planet's in trouble. Trunks is fighting this super powerful saiyan freak."

"And you need some of my Senzu beans." Korin finished for her. "You sure have a rude way of making a first impression and then asking for a favor." He sighed. "Fine, wait here, I'll go get some."

18 paced back and forth impatiently as she waited for the cat. What was taking so long? How hard could it be to hand over some beans? She didn't have time for this. Trunks was in trouble. She could sense it from here. His energy was dropping with every blow. He must be completely at Broly's mercy.

"All right, here."

She turned to see a brown bag coming at her. Catching it, she noticed how empty it felt. Opening the bag, she saw only three small beans in the pouch.

"That's it?" she demanded angrily. "Only three?"

"The rest aren't ready yet." Korin told her. "Those are all I have left."

18 growled. "Three beans aren't enough."

"Take one." the cat suggested. "Not only will they heal and rejuvenate you, but they'll also keep you full for ten days."

"I don't need to eat." She told him, and jumped out of the tower.

Now she just had to get back to Trunks before Broly tore him apart. She really hoped these beans worked as well as she was told they would.

Deciding to take Korin's advice, she took one of the beans and ate it. It was crunchy and tasted like fish. But seconds after she swallowed it, she felt it's affects kick in. Her aches and pains immediately vanished, her bruises began fading away and her cuts started to mend themselves. Had her energy decreased at all, she had no doubt that she would have felt it all coming back to her in a powerful rush.

"Whoa!" she uttered in amazement. "These things really work." Putting on a burst of speed, she headed back to West City. "Hold on, Trunks, I'm on my way."

She just hoped the remaining two Senzu beans would be enough to defeat the legendary Super Saiyan.

Trunks prayed 18 would hurry up. He didn't know how much longer he could last. Broly was picking him apart. Currently, the psychotic saiyan was floating in the sky, laughing as he took shots in the dark, hoping to hit Trunks.

Hiding behind a collapsed building, Trunks tried his best to suppress his power while maintaining his Super Saiyan state. He had been lucky so far; Broly hadn't hit him, but he was bound to at some point.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are!" Broly called, blasting another building. "Come out and play!"

He fired another energy blast. It didn't hit Trunks, but the explosion it created forced him to find another hiding spot. He ended up ducking behind several cars that had piled on top of each other; thankfully there was no one in the cars.
