Heart of Anarchy

Chapter one-Gohan

Pain ripped through the lower half of my body and I gritted my teeth at it. I had left the other Z Senshi quietly as they were all celebrating the short victory, even though we all knew the battle was far from over. Now here I was facing the contractions alone in some far off cave in the middle of a thunderstorm. I smirked sardonically to myself through the pain; I had to hand it to myself to be dramatic as ever. After flying as fast as possible I had landed at the mouth of a cave moments ago and had had to crawl inside on my hands and knees, gi torn and soaked to the core. My breaths were hot and short, coming in short spurts and I finally had to stop crawling when I deemed I was far enough away from the entrance to be safe. Safe being a relative term, naturally. My black hair that I had inherited from my father was currently plastered to my forehead due to the torrential rainstorm outside and the entire vision fit fucking perfectly with how life had treated me lately. Here I was, having a baby alone in some rocky cave, drenched and with little chance of survival. I just hoped my child made it through. I was suppressing my ki so that no one could find where I was, though I knew they would be discovering my absence shortly.

Another contraction ripped through me and I cried out and leaned my head against the rocky surface behind me. I started ripping at the top of my gi as I knew I would need to have access to the slit that would appear the closer it came time to deliver. It was fucking nuts that some Saiyan males could give birth, but Vegeta had told me that we had had to adapt as a species due to the lack of Saiyan females. Fucking adaptations. Fucking survival! Look where that had gotten us, the Saiyan race was reduced to a hand full of renegades wished back from death, all on this mud ball, backwater planet with no hope of a peaceful life. We were hours away from defeat at any given time, and naturally this had to be the time my hormones kicked in and sent me into heat. Well, what was done was done and now I had to man up and deal with the repercussions. I couldn't tell him what had happened, whose baby it was, it hurt too much to think about it. But I would still give my child a chance at life, which is more than I ever truly got, nor my brother Goten.

"Fuck!" I cried out, my body spasming and seizing as the lifeform inside me started wanting to come out in earnest. I fell down sideways and lay on my back, propping myself up on my elbows and raising my knees up. I was unsure if it was just water streaming down from my head or if there were tears in the mix now, but now could not be the time for such observations. The tip of my tail flicked and I couldn't help at flinch as another searing contraction made me spasm. From what Vegeta had told me, a slit would appear from my navel down to the start of my pubic area, and the baby would emerge from that. What he didn't tell me was that it would fucking hurt and that I would want to murder everything in sight. I clenched a fist and pounded it into the ground as my head slammed into the rocks beneath me at another contraction. They were coming faster now; it had to be any time. I was crying in earnest, the tears streaming down my face as sobs silently racked my shoulders. Of course this had to be the time my ghostly companion showed up, horrible timing as ever.

"Gohan!" she cried in shock, rushing over to my side. I couldn't form a coherent word, so I gritted my teeth at her told her to stay with me before she flickered out again. Cursing in agony, I shut my eyes as a searing pain took hold of me and she inched closer.

"Yikes, Gohan, should I go get-"

"NO!" I yelled, and then cried out as another searing pain tore through me. Gods, how long was this supposed to last anyways? I knew she meant well, but I was just glad that someone was here, someone from long ago that had elected to stay with me instead of passing on. This was truly a fucked up situation. Had I known that I would be here in this position ten years ago, I would have ended everyone's life to spare them the pain and trouble. I laid flat on my back, fists clenched, trying not to ascend as that would give me away.

"Gohan, I'm getting help!" she cried out worriedly, and then I glanced over through slitted eyes to witness the ghost vanish. No…come back, don't leave me! Not now…I screamed in agony as the pain came to a climax…never had I been in so much pain before, my body had been through hell and back but it had never been split in half from the inside out. Screaming, my voice echoed around the high ceilings of the cave I was in, though it wasn't very deep admittedly and I could still hear the wind howling outside, rain lashing against the mountainside furiously. I knew that if I was to ascend now, I risked harming the baby and I could not have that happen. My tail lashed wildly at my side, and I punched the ground next to my waist causing it to crack but not give. I arched my back and howled like an animal as the most vicious pain I had ever felt emerged from my navel area. I felt my aura flash golden but tried to contain it as the rage coursed through me. Rage at the state I was in, rage at the world, rage at everyone involved in making hell on earth a reality, rage that my child would grow up not knowing his or her father.

"Fuck you! Fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou!" I yelled as I punched the ground, an image of the witch sneering at me coming to mind. She had watched as he did this to me, she had fucking chained me to the ground and watched and laughed as he violated me, and I would not let that go unpunished. If I lived through this, vengeance would be mine. I shrieked in terror as I felt the skin on my torso give way and split open, and it was all I could do to try and remember the birthing process Vegeta had told me about.

'You have to stay calm; put your hands on either side of your stomach and push up and out, this is unlike human births. Do not under any circumstances ascend because you'll kill your child if you do, understand brat?'

'Yes, I understand Vegeta.'

The words echoed in my mind as I numbly placed my hands where he had told me to…on either side of the slit but lower, more towards my hips.

"Come on, baby Saiyan, we can do this!" I encouraged weakly. Who knew who Videl had gone and fetched, they would likely get here too late. She could only do so much as she was in a spectral form now. Dimly, I felt ki's approaching, and I panicked. I couldn't tell if they were friend or foe, but I had to get this baby out of me so that I could protect it. I had not been able to find out the gender beforehand, and I only hoped that I would get to see my baby one time before I died if death was truly at hand. Sobbing, I pushed and pushed and the slit split open more, blood and pus oozing out of the wound.

"T-trunks…please…I'm sorry!" I mumbled to the rocks around me as wind whistled over my heaving form. I suddenly wished that my mate was here with me, holding me, as the baby slowly eked out of my stomach. My tail reached out and grabbed the baby before it fell to the ground and put it on my chest. I was crying still because the pain wasn't stopping, it wasn't going away like Vegeta had said it would, and then I felt something else come out of the hole as well. Huh? Holding onto the squealing baby on my chest, my tail slipped and reached for the other thing which was…a baby's cry cut through the already squealing little one on my chest and my brain started to shut down. Twins…I had just had…twins…oh Trunks…I wish I could have seen you one last time. I felt the Ki's approach the cave but my vision was going dark already. I would not live to see my mate or help him raise our Saiyan pride.
