[He'd known, the second Thras's roar echoed in his head, that he needed to go. His other self would, after all, and he might need backup.
(Not because he thought he wasn't strong enough, but because it was always best to have someone at your back.)
Tracking Trunks through the air was easy, and he was following as quickly as he could. When the last image shows, he can see the streak of light that is his other self's aura stop cold--and he does too.
The dragon is gone. Trunks wasn't close to Thras, not like his other self was, wasn't aligned to him either, but still...but still, not being able to stop this from happening, stung a little.
He's lost in the dull roar of other people's thoughts when the feeling of his other self's ki rolls over him, like a tidal wave. He hears the stone below him crack, feels a wave of terrifying pressure.
He's breaking through. He'd known his other self was close to it, but had hoped that it wouldn't take something like this.
He doesn't approach until after the initial wave has passed, until his aura has settled into something approaching controlled. He remembers what Gohan had been like, what the absolute rage had felt like to him when he transformed the first time. He'd warned Trunks about it, but he's not sure that a warning can really prepare you for just how it would feel.]
