Moments Away
They stood there, in front of the most powerful enemy they have ever faced. After numerous attacks, it seemed defeating Buu was hopeless. But Vegeta wasn't going to settle for that. Not at all.Foolish Kakarot! Why'd you have to waste your life on Cell!
It happened 7 years ago, but he remembered exactly how he felt. Hope and admiration rushed through his veins. He had never seen something so honorable in his life.Hope. At the moment, he thought it was a foolish for someone to give up his life to save someone elses. But that happened to be the "secret" to Kakarot's power. A drive to protect.
Vegeta felt a sudden rush of power run through him. Now he too, had this drive. To protect. Now, he finally understood why Goku gave up his life. He had to protect...
He knew what he had to do. Protect his son... his mate... his family. And yes, even the others. And the only way he could do that was by giving up his life...
In a few moments, he would lose everything. But hell, why not? It was for them he was going to do this. He couldn't stand the thought of losing them. Bulma... Trunks... they had to live!
He looked over at his 8-year-old son, Trunks, who was standing just beside him. The last time he would see him. It broke his heart.
'Trunks... I never hugged you as a baby... let me hug you"
Surprised, the young boy walked up to his father, and hugged him.
"Father?"
"Take care of your mother"
And with that, he knocked Trunks unconscious. He didn't want him to see...
"Vegeta!"
The Saiyan Prince turned around.
Piccolo was there.
"What are you thinking?!"
Vegeta walked up to the Namek.
"Get Trunks out of here. I'm going to... self destruct. It's the only way..."
Piccolo was shocked. For the first time, he was fighting in behalf of others. He saw the courage in the Super saiyan's eyes.
"Don't worry"
Vegeta took off. He was just moments away from losing his life... his mind was filled with thoughts. In 13 years he has been on Earth, he had changed so much. He even started to feel more... human. He feels a pain all through his body. The end is almost there. He regreted badly that he might never see her again... or his son grow up... and damnit he never got rid of Kakarot! But now... he couldn't... how could he rival such a good person?...
Everything I do, I do it for you...
"Farewell Bulma,Trunks, and you too, Kakarot......"
