This is just a fantasy that Gohan and Trunks' conversation lasted alot
longer than it really did. Poor Trunks never really knew much about his
Father, and Gohan didn't say anymore than his Mother. So I'm writing it out
a bit farther. :)
*Perhaps I'll write this further out to see the changed storyline of Trunks if he turned SSJ before Gohan died. If you'd like to see that, I will gladly do so. :) Originally planned for just one chapter.
"Hey Gohan, you knew my Dad pretty well, right?" Trunks asked cautiously. Before he could even remember, the damned Androids killed him. He never knew him, and had a need to know. His mother...too sad to say much.
"Yea, I guess you could say that." Gohan nodded. Yes...he knew him very well.
"Well, I can't really remember that much about him. He died when I was so young...Do you think you could tell me a little about him, Gohan?" Trunks asked with a pleading look in his eyes, a look that showed how much he wished he knew.
Yes...Gohan thought...Yes, I knew him so well. Vegeta...
"Yes, you're father...Vegeta...He was a strong man, Trunks. A proud man. Arrogant, but proud. He was a good man, too...but he had a problem showing his true feelings." Gohans fist was clenched... The sadness of Vegetas death hurt him too. Although he was evil, he knew very well that Vegeta cared for them all.
"That's about what my Mom says too..." Trunks sighed. Was this all he'd ever know of his father? Arrogant and strong? Wasn't there just a little bit more to describe him.
"Gohan...Please, tell me more than just that. I already knew that...I need to know more! He was my father, and I know nothing but arrogance and strength. There's got to be more than that!" Trunks was sounding pathetic again. His eyes pleaded for answers...answers from Vegeta.
"Alright...let's start out simple then...are you sure you want to know? Heh...nevermind. You're going to say yes reguardless, right? Well..." Gohan began, bad memories burning inside him already.
Trunks' eyes lit brightly...finally...answers.
"I first met Vegeta when I was a little boy. Way younger than you, Trunks. At the time, we were fearing him more than anything. Your dad....he was the strongest person we had ever seen before. But at the time, he wasn't on our side...He was evil." Gohans eyes were shut tight now, trying not to think of details.
"My dad was evil?" Trunks asked, extremely curious.
"At the time, yes. That was all he ever knew in his life...that was it." Gohan nodded. "An even worse creature called Frieza killed his Father...And blew up his entire planet. Yes Trunks, your planet too... Frieza was a monster... Like the Androids."
Trunks gazed upon Gohan in confusion. "A monster like the Androids...how can that be? Was he worse?"
Gohan nodded...Much worse.
"And Trunks, there's something else you should know. You'd better sit down for this."
Trunks shook his head, "No, I'm just fine." Sweat dripped slowly from his eyebrow.
"No, sit down," Gohan said in an even firmer voice, and this time Trunks obeyed.
"Trunks...you are a Prince. Your Dad was the sole heir to the Planet Vegeta. Once destroyed, everything was gone. Your Father...he went by the name Prince Vegeta until he died. I think it was because he never got a chance...his Father murdered, he did not naturally gain the right to the throne. I know it pained him, but he never mentioned a word about it. Only his hatred to Frieza."
Trunks gasped, his very body was shaking. This...this wasn't right.
"As you know, you can't wish anyone back twice. The first time your Dad died...Frieza killed him. In front of us all. Me, my Dad, Krillin, Dende....Yes, everyone. He was a true monster. Vegeta cried then, revealing the heart of his pain, his anger. Frieza forced him to do everything so he'd let his Father live, and after that, he killed him anyways. Vegeta was a very strong man...to keep all this pain to himself...and still live."
"Ahhh....Ahh......Frieza...Why didn't your dad stop him!? I thought he was the strongest man in the world." Trunks was screaming out words now.
"Frieza at the time was stronger. And we couldn't do a thing...My dad did however, grant Vegeta a proper burial. His very last words were, "Kill him Kakarotto, show him the pride of the Saiyan Race." Remember those Trunks, he passed them onto you too." Gohan nodded, and put an arm on the young boys pained shoulder.
Trunks looked deep into his eyes, and saw his pain as well. His father...had done nothing but try to gain Vengeance. He died trying.
"However, he was revived. Several years later, the Androids arrived. They killed him." Gohan sighed. "Yes, the Androids killed him. However, do you want to know how strong your Dad was? I'll tell you in detail now. He was strong enough to kill either one of those androids one on one. He could've broken their very bones." Gohan nodded again to Trunks.
Trunks was doing everything he could not to scream in rage. His father...this was him. Poor... Dad. No...
"Before he died, he said these words, Trunks. Since you brought up this subject...don't you forget them. When everyone said Vegeta was dead as his power level passed from the planet...I knew he was still alive. I felt the faintness. I found him. Trunks, his very last words..." Gohans face sweated, his fists blood red.
"The last thing he ever said before the Androids slaughtered him: 'Make my Son a warrior. More than that, make him have Vengeance for the entire Saiyan race. Yet even more than that, Gohan, do me this one favour...Tell my Son he has all my love in the world...and I've never told anyone that before..let him know he is my Son. He is a Warrior! Let him know he is a TRUE Super Saiyan!" Gohan nodded...these were indeed the last words of his fallen friend, Vegeta.
Trunks broke. "...I cannot take this anymore.....No...No...No....Fucking Androids...Damn you! Damn you both! Stupid Androids....Daddy..." Trunks yelled in disbelief.
"Take it easy Trunks...it's ok...let it go." Gohan knew he'd react violently to that...but Trunks' anger was more than he expected...
"Ahh...ah....NOOOO!!!!!!" Trunks' anger erupted into the very heart of the planet. His screams could be heard miles away. He broke...he lost it...he had finally just snapped.
"My God...Trunks...I knew you were far along but...Whoa..." Gohan took a few steps back...Trunks was transforming. He was...Oh...my....
"NOOO!!!!!!! Damn you Androids! No!" Trunks' hair turned gold, he was a Super Saiyan. Like his Father, he had finally ascended to the rank of a Super Saiyan. His blood...his strength. Trunks carried it in his very soul now, and more than anything..He carried his Fathers rage.
Gohan stood shocked...Trunks was a Super Saiyan....
Trunks' screaming stopped. Now, he took his fist and smashed it into the ground as hard as he could. "Damnit, the world is so unfair! Argh!" The very ground trembled at Trunks...From the ashes of Vegeta, a new warrior arose...Far stronger than the Androids wished to face.
It was payback time.
