Humanity (Trunks x OC)

Part 10

"We're here." Trunks breathes out in amazement when the dome opens up above the two. They scramble out, a bit stiff.

"You sure?" 21 questions, gazing around the empty planes around them.

Trunks nods, looking around as well. "I'm sure of it. I can feel their presence scattered across the earth." he states, referring to the warriors that were killed by 17 and 18 in their time. 21, never having felt their ki before besides Gohan's, shrugs, trusting Trunks' judgement.

"And I suppose that's the Frieza alien you were talking about?" 21 wonders, casting her eyes upwards to the sky as she feels a certain ki approaching. Trunks follows her view, but sees nothing yet, though he can feel it.

"I suppose so. Won't be too difficult to defeat. Do you want the honors?" he asks, turning back to her as he smiles confidently.

"Nah. You can have him. I'm just here to watch." she smirks, making him huff playfully in indignation.

"So you're going to make me do all the hard work huh?"

She flashes him a peace sign, winking. "That's the general idea." she admits.

"Nice." Trunks mutters sarcastically, but 21 can tell he doesn't really care.

"Hey, I was thinking..." he starts just as they are about to fly off to where this 'Frieza' will land. "Since we're here to warn them about androids, perhaps... well... maybe it would be better if you used your human name should it come up. What do you think?" he wonders uncertainly

21 thinks it over, not too thrilled, but seeing his logic, she finally shrugs. "I suppose you have a point. Julliet it is then, for now." she sighs, making Trunks smile. He admitted to her once that he really liked the name. Somehow, that made it a little easier to use, despite all the bad feelings it gives her otherwise.

She glances where her robotic arm is hidden beneath the long sleeve of her shirt and the blown leather glove, frowning down at it until Trunks grabs her arm, snapping her out of her reverie. He knows she has a hard time accepting what she is, even after a few years time to get used to it.

"He's almost here and the others are on their way. You ready for this?" he asks.

She nods, managing a smile. At least Trunks doesn't care about what she is. It's that knowledge that she holds onto when it starts to get to her. She truly believes that if it wasn't for him, she would have attempted to destroy herself. She can't help wonder what he would think of that if he knew.

Shaking off that thought quickly, she follows after Trunks, ready to meet a villain head on. She smirks. He won't know what hit him.

....................

From a slight distance, the two of them watch as Frieza disembarks along with some foot soldiers and an alien looking similar to him, but bigger is size.

"Besides you and Gohan, I admit I've never seen anything partially alien before and the two of you hardly look the part if you know what I mean. It's quite odd to see something that is obviously out of this world." 21 tells Trunks quietly, looking interested.

Trunks nods in understanding. "I'd think you'll be amazed when you'll get to see piccolo then." he states.

Waiting for the moment the invaders are about to make their move, Trunks unseats his sword before diving in. 21 follows at a leisure pace and watches as he as he quickly gets rid of some of the underlings that Frieza just set out to find the warriors that are approaching.

At least 21 believes they are still coming. She can't really sense them. Maybe they are keeping a low profile just like Trunks is. She herself doesn't have to go through the effort. Her energy signal is as undetectable as any random human.
