(A/N: The time has come for Trunks to put his new power to the test. But remember, while in Rilldo's body, Baby is stronger than Majin Buu. Will Trunks have become strong enough to win? Gohan may have been, but he was much stronger than Trunks. Hopefully the upgrade will be enough.)

Chapter 29: Rematch
They reappeared on Kami's Lookout, as it was the easiest place to reach, being closet to Other World. Trunks let go of the Supreme Kai's hand and nodded his head in thanks.
"I thank you for all that you've done."
Supreme Kai gave him a smile. "You can thank me by defeating that abomination."
Trunks nodded. "It's a promise."
Supreme Kai bid him farewell and vanished. The smile left Trunks' face and his eyes narrowed. Without even stopping to see Dende and Mr. Popo, he took off, flying towards Baby's energy signal.
As he flew over the Lookout, he was spotted by Dende. The Namek's eyes lit up at seeing his friend still alive and he quickly went to tell Bulma and Mr. Popo the good news.

18 stumbled back as Baby slowly made his way towards her. She snarled at the machine mutant, trying to think of some way she might be able to win.
"Why do you keep fighting?" Baby asked. "You must realize by now that you're not strong enough to win. All you're doing is prolonging the inevitable."
18 hated to admit it, but he was right. She was already dead. The only thing left for her to do would be for her to choose her gravesite. And she decide that her final resting place would be wherever she dropped dead trying to kill this freak.
"Do you give up?" Baby asked. "I promise to be merciful and grant you a quick death if you do."
In response, 18 created two Energy Disks and threw them at Baby. He didn't even bother to avoid them and they sliced straight through his body. But his injuries immediately healed, leaving him in one piece.
"I figured as much." Baby commented.
He sped towards her and slammed his knee into her gut. Spittle sprayed out of 18's mouth and she was left gasping in pain. Then his large fist slammed into her and she went crashing down. But she refused to stay down, and she immediately got to her feet, though she was slouching over.
Baby moved directly behind her, smiling at her futile attempt to keep fighting. "Had enough yet?"
18 whirled around and fired a powerful energy blast at point-blank range. She smiled, having made direct contact, but the smirk was wiped off her face when the smoke cleared to reveal Baby scowling at her, unharmed.
"You really don't learn, do you?"
His hand shot out, wrapping around 18's neck. She gagged as he lifted her in the air. Placing his hand on her chest, he began to gather energy. 18 braced herself just before he unleashed a powerful blast of energy.
18 slammed into the ground and remained motionless. She coughed a few times and twitched in pain, but seemed to be down for the count. At least that's how it seemed to Baby.
"Looks like she's finished." He said to himself. Raising his hand, he began to gather even more energy for a stronger attack, intending to make sure he really did finish her off this time. "When you see your saiyan friend, tell him that that I'll take good care of his planet."
He fired. 18's eyes suddenly snapped open and his disappeared. She reappeared in front of Baby and formed a ball of energy in her hand, both punching and blasting him in the face at the same time. Baby stumbled backwards and fell over. When the smoke cleared, he looked at 18 angrily.
"Even now, you refuse to just die."
18 was breathing heavily. "You forget, I have an unlimited supply on energy."
Baby stood up, dusting himself off. "That may be true, but you're body can only take so much damage. And something tells me that it's at its limit."
He pointed a finger at her and fired a beam of energy. 18 fell backwards and went down, her strength nearly depleted. Baby stood over her, the sure victor. He raised his hand to the sky and it began glowing with energy.
"This will end it." he told her, planning to finish her off once and for all.
18 stared at him defiantly, even though she knew that she would not survive this next attack; not with the amount of energy he was gathering.
That's when she detected another powerful source of energy. She looked away from Baby, in the direction she sensed the strong power source. Even Baby seemed to sense it. Lowering his hand, he turned in the same direction.
"Expecting company?" he asked.
18 ignored him. She was trying to figure out who was coming. She knew who it felt like, but that was impossible. Yet there was no mistaking it. She would know that energy signature anywhere.
Her face lit up joyfully. "I don't believe it. It's really him. He's still alive."
"What?" Baby snarled. "That's not possible. I saw him die."
18 turned to him, a large smirk on her face. "Then we were both mistaking. That's Trunks all right. He's alive, and he's coming to kill you."
The person they sensed got closer and was soon coming in for a landing. Trunks had arrived, and he did not look happy. He stared Baby down as he walked over to 18, standing in front of her protectively.
"And where we you been?" she asked, wiping away tears of joy. "I thought you were dead."
He gave her a smile. "Well, I was in Other World, but I wasn't dead."
Baby crossed his arms. "I don't know why I'm surprised to see you. Saiyans are the vermin of the universe. They're like cockroaches, very disgusting and hard to kill." He cracked his knuckles. "This time I'll make sure to snap your neck so there's no chance that you'll survive."
Trunks glared at him. "No, Baby. It will be you who will die today. I'm not the same person I was yesterday. I've changed."
Baby's gaze landed on his tail. "You think regrowing your tail will help you? All you've done is made yourself more recognizable as a saiyan."
"That's not all I've done." Trunks told him. "I received special training from the Supreme Kais themselves. I have a lot more power at my disposal now."
Baby snickered. "Is that so? Then show me, oh mighty saiyan. Let me see just how powerful you've become."
Trunks braced himself. 'This is it. Time to see if the old man's magic really worked.'
He transformed, becoming a Super Saiyan, then he changed again, becoming an Ascended Saiyan. Then he started to power up, and his power began to rise.
Baby stood watching, not expecting much. He assumed that Trunks had done whatever 18 had done to raise her power. Though he would surely be stronger than her, he still wouldn't be strong enough to win.
But Trunks power kept rising. It had already passed what Baby had anticipated. He smiled, thinking that perhaps he would have a worthy challenge. But soon his smile turned into a frown as Trunks power continued to increase. Now he was getting nervous. What was going on? There was no way, no way, anyone could have gained so much power in such a short time.
"What is this?" he demanded. "What have you done?"
Trunks cried out as his power rose further. He regretted getting angry with Old Kai. The guy really knew what he was doing. This was more than Trunks ever could have expected. And he hadn't even hit his maximum yet.
18 was staring at him in awe. She had no idea what kind of training he had undergone in Other World, but the results were amazing. His power was closing in on Baby's, and it was still going up.
Finally Trunks reached his limit and his power exploded around him. He glowed brightly with a golden aura, his newfound power shocking them all.
Baby took a step back uncertainly. "This isn't possible. How did you become so strong?"
Feeling confident, Trunks smirked at the Tuffle. "Unlike some people, I work hard to become stronger. I don't take over anyone's body because I'm too weak to fight on my own."
Baby glared at him. "You may be a lot stronger, but you're still not as strong as me. The odds are still in my favor."
"True," Trunks agreed, "but you have to admit that we're on a more even playing field." He grinned. "Shall we begin?"
18 took cover as the two charged towards each other. At the same time, their fists collided with each other's faces. They were both knocked away from each other, but immediately went on the attack again with fists flying and legs kicking.
Baby kneed Trunks in the gut, and the saiyan buried his fist in the Tuffle's as well. Baby responded by balling his hands and bringing them down on Trunks' head. As Trunks went soaring to the ground, Baby flew down after him.
Trunks kicked off the ground and went speeding upward. Baby's eyes widened before Trunks' head collided with his. Both of them bounced off each other, rubbing their heads painfully.
"Ow!" Baby wailed. "What's the matter with you?"
In just as much pain, Trunks also massaged his head. "Yeah, not one of my better ideas."
"Then try this!"
Baby's arm extended outward. Trunks moved to the side and Baby's arm whizzed by him. He brought his elbow down on Baby's arm. The machine mutant grunted and pulled back his arm. Trunks flew towards him and repeatedly punched the Tuffle in the face. Baby grunted and groaned as Trunks' blows landed again and again.
Suddenly Baby's torso stretched out and wrapped around Trunks like a python. He grinned as he squeezed tightly, causing Trunks to gasp in pain.
Snickering, Baby stuck his face right in front of Trunks pain-twisted one. "Having some trouble breathing?"
Trunks responded by slamming his forehead into Baby's face. The Tuffle's hold loosened and Trunks was able to pull one of his arms free. His hand shot out and wrapped around Baby's throat. Pulling his other arm free, he held Baby's head in place and repeatedly pounded him in the face.
Baby's hand grabbed Trunks' hair and pulled his head back. Trunks kicked upward, hitting Baby in the back of the head. While the Tuffle was dazed, he flew out of his hold and unleashed a Burning Attack.
The attack forced Baby to the ground, creating an explosion upon impact. Trunks landed a short distance away as Baby jumped out of the dust cloud. He seemed somewhat irritated as he looked at his opponent.
"Not bad." He commented. "You're a lot stronger now than you were before."
Trunks smirked. "Feeling a little uncertain?"
Baby laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. I still have the advantage."
He fired a blast of energy. Trunks vanished from out of the attack's path and reappeared behind Baby. He kicked out with both feet, knocking the Tuffle to the ground. Baby's upper body suddenly twisted completely around and he shot lasers out of his eyes. Trunks held up his arms to defend himself.
Baby suddenly lunged at him, and they both went crashing to the ground. Trunks struggled to force the Tuffle off him as Baby held him down with one hand and repeatedly punched him in the side.
Trunks managed to get free enough to bury his fist in Baby's gut, sending the Tuffle flying in the air. Hopping to his feet, he prepared his next at. "Galick Gun!"
His attack hit, but Baby's form just faded away. An After Image. Baby was right behind him, kicking out. Trunks ducked beneath the kick and delivered a powerful uppercut into Baby's jaw.
Trunks turned around to face Baby, who was rubbing his jaw. He smirked at him, coming to a realization. "Looks like you don't have the advantage over me after all."
Baby glared at him. "What are you saying? I'm the most powerful being in the universe."
"You mean Rilldo is." Trunks corrected. "You're just in control of his body because you're too weak on your own."
"What? How dare you!"
Trunks smirked. "You know it's true. And I've made a discovery. While you're in Rilldo's body, you may be stronger than me, but you're not much of a fighter."
Baby was seething furiously. "You miserable saiyan monkey. I'll kill you slowly for that."
They came together again, locking hands. They pushed against each other, trying to force the other one back. This is where baby's superior strength gave him an advantage and Trunks began to lose ground. His feet dug into the gravel, ripping up the ground as Baby pushed him back.
"Do you really think you can beat me?" Baby asked. "I've got all the hatred and thirst for vengeance of the Tuffles backing me up."
Trunks gritted his teeth and pushed back harder. He wasn't able to force Baby back, but he prevented him from pushing him further.
"The saiyans paid for their mistakes." Trunks told him, refusing to back down. "They're all dead. You're race has been avenged."
Baby snarled. "Not as long as there's a single saiyan left alive."
"I'm not my ancestors!" Trunks shouted. "All I want is to be left in peace. But freaks like you won't let things be. You have no right to do this. You're hurting and killing innocent people, taking their free will away. The humans are not the saiyans. You can't justify you're actions. Didn't you say that the Tuffles were a peaceful race?"
"No longer. Being peaceful made the Tuffles weak. Never again shall the Tuffles be peaceful. Our purpose now is universal domination. That way the entire universe will know the greatness of the Tuffles. We shall be the greatest race in the universe, because we shall be every race in the universe!"
Trunks felt himself slipping. "Well I won't let that happen."
He jumped up and kicked Baby in the stomach. Baby grunted and leaned forward, allowing Trunks to pull away and slam his fist into the Tuffle's face. Baby tumbled head over heals backwards until he crashed into something to stop his momentum. Growling, he pulled himself free and got to his feet. He stared at Trunks with the utmost hatred.
'How could this happen? How could anyone, saiyan or otherwise, become so powerful in such a short time. I have the advantage over him, but I can't deny the fact that there is a chance that I might be defeated.' He studied Trunks carefully. "I had better not underestimate him. Saiyans have a certain way of coming through in the end. And I can't deny the fact that he has had several years more fighting experience than I have. Perhaps it would be best to outsmart him rather than to take him head on.'
An evil grin crept up his face. "I don't know what you did to become so strong so quickly, but it won't help you. In the end, you're still nothing but a lousy saiyan monkey."
He launched his fist at him. Trunks vanished and Baby's flying fist missed. He appeared right in front of Baby and delivered a powerful kick to the Tuffle's face. Trunks grinned as Baby went down. He raised his hand to unleash a blast of energy at the fallen machine mutant.
That's when it happened. A blinding pain overcame him and his strength completely vanished. Slowly, he looked over his shoulder to see that the hand that Baby had launched at him had doubled back and grabbed hold of his tail.
Baby snickered, looking up at the saiyan. "Stupid boy."
Trunks dropped down to his normal form and fell to the ground as the dismembered hand gripped his tail tightly. "You weren't... even trying... to hit me... with... that attack..."
Baby casually walked behind Trunks and reattached his arm, making sure to keep a firm grip. "Did you think I was so foolish that I didn't know the only weakness of a saiyan? I wonder how badly this hurts."
He squeezed tighter and Trunks cried out. It hurt, it hurt so bad. Pain he could deal with, but the feeling of having no strength at all was the worst. It was like he was paralyzed, unable to defend himself.
Baby lifted his foot and stomped down on Trunks' back. Sneering, he bent down and lifted Trunks' head up by his hair. Then he repeatedly slammed the saiyan's face into the ground.
"How does it feel?" Baby asked, grinding Trunks' face into the dirt. "Tell me, what's it like to feel completely helpless against your enemy while he kills you off. That's the pain my people felt while you saiyans exterminated them."
He pulled on Trunks' tail, dragging him across the ground. He swung him through the air, slamming him down on the ground face-up. Holding his tail tightly, Baby raised his hand and began firing blasts of energy. Trunks was helpless to defend himself as he was repeatedly blasted again and again. He knew only pain and the sound of Baby's laughter.
"Is this the fairytale ending you were expecting?" Baby asked. "Did you think you'd be able to defeat me and save the day? Foolish saiyan. I'm the savior!" Rather than individual blasts, he fired one powerful repeating blast. "You think I'm the parasite infecting everyone? Wrong! This whole universe is diseased, filled with infection! I am the cure! And you saiyan scum are the main source of filth that's polluting my universe! But I will have none of it! I'm going to purify everyone and unite them as one! One race, one mind, with me in control! That is my destiny! To cleanse this world, and all others!"
At this point, Trunks could no longer hear him. He was blacking out. Even the pain was fading as he began losing consciousness. Baby sensed this and increased the power in his energy blast. Trunks eyes rolled up into his head as the last of his strength began to drain.
Baby grinned. "Clean."
A powerful kick slammed into his head, knocking him away from Trunks. 18 dropped to her knees by Trunks' side and tried to rouse the saiyan.
"Trunks, hang on. You're going to be ok. We're getting out of here."
One of Baby's arms stretched out and grabbed 18, pulling her towards him. He glared at her angrily, upset that she had ruined the moment.
"Stupid foolish girl." He growled to her, holding her up by her arm. "You should have known not to interfere."
18 tried to kick him, but his arm shot up, blocking the kick. Then he spun around and threw her. His arm stretched out and grabbed her leg, pulling her back again, right into his fist. He repeated this, playing with her like a paddleball, before finally slamming her to the ground.
He turned to Trunks. "It seems like you've been granted a little longer to live. Now watch as I kill her right in front of you."
Groaning, Trunks reached out helplessly. "18..."
Baby grinned, glad to see that Trunks was looking. Then he turned back to 18 and kicked her, causing her to roll onto her back. With a snicker, he jumped in the air and landed on her. 18 gasped in pain as he sat on her, pushing down with all his weight.
"I'm no gentleman." He told her. "I don't mind hitting a girl."
His fist slammed into her, snapping her head to the left. He grinned and hit her again, snapping her head to the right. Laughing, he kept her pinned down as he repeatedly punched her, again and again.
Trunks grunted, reaching out to them. He had no strength left. While Baby had held his tail, he'd received quite the beating. His body was fried from the energy blasts he had been hit with, and his wounds stung badly.
With blurry vision, he looked at Baby sitting on 18 and constantly beating her. He groaned and managed to roll onto his stomach, but then his strength gave out again.
Baby glanced over his shoulder, noticing that Trunks had managed to move from his spot. It just made him grin. "Coming to get a better view?" He snickered. "Then let me give you something to look at."
Climbing off of 18, he placed his foot on her head. He glanced at Trunks and began to press down. 18 cried out in pain as Baby pushed down on her harder, watching Trunks' reaction. It amused him to see the saiyan so angry.
Calling on the last reserves of his strength, Trunks began to crawl across the ground over to them. Baby's grin widened and he began to press down harder, increasing 18's screams.
"I wonder how long it will be before her head is crushed."
He lifted up his other foot, putting his full weight down on her. 18's screams intensified and tears started running down her cheeks. The ground fractured beneath her head as Baby used even more force.
Trunks continued dragging himself across the ground. He was getting close now. Only a little bit more until he could reach out and touch them.
Baby suddenly leapt off 18 and kicked her further away from Trunks, then danced back over to her. "Getting a little too close there." He said to Trunks. "But this is a look, don't touch show."
A blast of energy suddenly hit him from behind. He turned around to glare angrily at 18. He stood over her and stomp down on her stomach. 18 cried out as a crater formed beneath her. He did it again, making the crater bigger, then did it a third and fourth time.
"You've got to be a real idiot, you know that." Stomp. "It's plainly obvious that you don't stand a chance against me." Stomp. "While I was distracted with that lousy saiyan, you could have made your escape." Stomp. "You're an android, you could have left the planet without a ship." Stomp. "You could have found some other place to live." Stomp. "I can't sense your energy." Stomp. "I never would have found you." Stomp. "You could have lived the rest of your life in peace, away from me." Stomp. "But instead, you decided to stay behind and help that pathetic saiyan."
He stomped down one last time. 18 had stopped moving at this point. Baby stood over her with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. It was all over for her. She was finished. There would be no more interfering from her. But just to be sure...
"You know, it's such a waste." He told her. "But I guess I shouldn't be surprised; you've been in contact with a saiyan. But don't worry." He raised his hand, ready to kill her once and for all. "I'll put you out of your misery."
(A/N: It's a real shame. While providing Trunks with the power needed to defeat Baby, Old Kai also brought out Trunk' greatest weakness, and Baby has taken advantage of that. It seems like all is lost now. There's no one else coming to help. Stay tuned to see how things will turn out.)
