(Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Dragon Ball Z characters…so don't sue me? Even though I have no money. I am sorry if there are a few spelling mistakes, I can't change them now. Hehe. I've also put a Linkin Park song in it….I'm not sure how good it sounds in it…? Well I'll let u start reading my fic then….isn't Goku so cute when he's angry…asking girls only)
In The End.
She sat at the top of the stairs. She rested her elbow on her knee and supported her head in the palm of her hand. She sat in the shadows and looked out at the darkness of the night, through the landing window. She could hear the 'Linkin Park' track play in her stereo. She remained still, not stirring. She was deep in thought.
~ One thing, I don't even know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself some how
I tried so hard
Inspite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprized I got so (far) ~
She lay on her bed curled up like a cat. Her eyes were red and lined with water. Her cheeks were stained from where tears had fallen. She curled up even more. She had her eyes fixed on one place. They never moved, only blinked now and then. She listened to the lyrics of the track playing in her stereo.
~ Things weren't the way they where before
You wouldn't even reckonize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though
I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I ~
His normal jet-black hair was now golden blonde like the sun, his dark eyes were now green and a yellow aura surrounded his body. He was shorter than the other man standing only feet away from him. The other man was taller and bulkier. He had short black hair and the dark eyes, which usually followed. He has some of the features the other saiyajin had, except he was taller. He looked down at the saiyajin and an evil smirk formed on his lips.
"My, my little cousin, haven't we became a little saiyajin?" Then he increased his energy. Then a yellow aura surrounded him changing his black hair to golden blonde and transforming his eyes from black to green. He remained to smirk. The other saiyajin smirked but he had fear in his green eyes.
The girl stood beside her brother and the other Z- Fighters.
"You shouldn't be here," a man said standing next to her brother. He had black hair with dark eyes that looked concerned. Two other men stood behind him. They resembled the other man's features except they had different hairstyles. One was roughly the same age as her brother; the other man was many years older. She was the youngest there at the age of thirteen years old.
"I have no where else to go," she looked up at him. He nodded and looked at her brother. She then looked up at her brother. He didn't look like the others, he had lavender coloured hair and blue eyes, he followed her mother's side, like she did. She looked at splitting image of her mother. He looked back down at her. He half smiled and pulled her closer to him.
They then looked back to the two golden haired warriors, who had started fighting. Ki blasts were flying in very direction. The girl and the other men watched them closely. They were too fast for the human eye, but they were watching them using their ki's. Then there was an enormous ki blast.
The shorter saiyajin watched as a powerful ki blast headed straight for him. He looked down to the Z- Fighters. He looked at the lavender haired boy and the young girl with him.
"I'm sorry…Tell your mother I love her," he called down to them, admitting for the first time that he loved their mother. He looked to Goku, "Kakarott! Look after them for me?"
"Father!" the purple haired boy, cried to his father. Bra looked at her father remaining silent; a single tear fell down her cheek.
Goku looked up at him, "Sure…Vegeta." He then nodded and weakly smiled.
They all then watched as the ki blast hit the saiyajin prince. His golden hair changed back jet black and the yellow aura disappeared. They felt his ki disappear. His lifeless body fell rapidly to the ground. The other saiyajin laughed as his opponents body fell to the ground.
~ I tried so hard
And got so far
In the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter ~
His lifeless body hit the ground with a loud thud.
"Father!" Trunks cried again. His lavender curtains were now and spiked up. His blue eyes were now the green. The yellow aura surrounded him.
"Vegeta?" the older of Goku's two sons said sadly looking at the floor. Goku looked at the girl with a sad expression in his face. She knew the saiyajin prince, her father was dead.
"No," she said quietly, tears rolling down her cheek. "NO!" she screamed, running to the fallen saiyajin.
"No! Bra? Wait?" her brother called after her.
She ignored him; she wanted to see her father.
"Goku?" he brother looked at the older man. Goku placed his hand on trunk's shoulder. He sturdened his expression. A yellow aura then surrounded him. His dark hair and eyes were now golden blonde and green.
He looked from Trunks, to his two sons', "Trunks, Gohan, Goten. Stay here, I'm gonna sort this out," he said lowly. He then placed two fingers on his forehead and used the Instant Transmission to the saiyajin responsible for Vegeta's death.
"Gohan?" Goten asked his older brother, worried for his father's safety.
"He'll be fine," he assured him. They both looked at Trunks; he had a horrified look on his face.
"What is it?" Goten stumbled, looking at the direction Trunks was looking at. Gohan did the same.
"Goku dodged a ki blast smiling. He watched it head straight towards the ground. It was headed straight for Bra. Goku had now the look of worry in his eyes. He remembered the promise Vegeta had made him say, and now he was going to watch Vegeta's daughter be killed.
"Bra!" he called down to her.
Bra herd her name called. She looked up and saw Goku and then a ki blast headed for her. She froze.
"Bra! Run!" Goku screamed at her. He then looked back to other saiyajin to have a ki blast hit him straight on. He was knocked to the ground.
"Goku!" Bra screamed still not being able to move. The ki blast came closer and closer.
"Father!" she looked over hearing Gohan scream as he watched Goku fall to the ground. Gohan growled then had the same blonde hair and green eyes as like her brother and Goku.
"Goku!" Trunks cried, he then looked at Bra, "Bra! You have to run!" he screamed at her. She still couldn't move.
"NO!" Trunks screamed at her, watching the ki blast come closer. She was shoved out the way of the ki blast. She hauled herself to see a blonde Goten, half smile at her. The ki blast then hit him, tearing through his shoulder. He screamed with pain.
~ I tried so hard
And got so far
In the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter ~
"Goten!" Trunks and Gohan screamed at the same time. They both then looked at each other and then glared up at the other saiyajin laughing the in sky. They flew up as fast as they could, powering up the energy to attack. The blast hit him straight on, blasting a hole through the middle of his body. He arched his head at the two angry saiyajins and half-smiled.
Gohan and Trunks looked at him with sturdened expressions on their faces. They watched the saiyajin fall to the earth. They looked down to Bra and Goten, and Goku who wasn't far from them. They flew down to them.
Bra stood up and saw Goten lying motionless on the ground. She looked over to another motionless body on the ground. It was Goku. She remembered he had warned her of the ki blast heading for her. She started to panic thinking both Goku and Goten were dead. And all because of her. Goku started to stir. She ran over to him. He didn't look that badly beaten up, only a few cuts and bruises. His blonde hair had changed back to black.
"Mister Goku?" she said with a shaky voice.
He slowly opened his eyes, "Bra? You're okay?" He half smiled.
She smiled then Gohan and Trunks landed near them.
"Bra, you're okay!" Trunks ran over to her and hugged her tightly.
"Dad?" Gohan kneeled down to his side.
"I'm okay Gohan. Just help me get up?" he smiled weakly at his older son. Gohan helped him. He handed his father a senzu bean, Goku ate it. He was feeling back to normal.
They heard some motion and looked at Goten.
"Goten!" Gohan ran over to his brother followed by the others.
Bra stood with Trunks. Gohan kneeled down to his younger brother. Goku stood behind Gohan.
Bra stepped forward, "Is he?" she asked.
"No," Gohan smiled up at her; "he's just hurt his shoulder."
Everyone sighed in relief.
"Hey, son," Goku kneeled down to Goten.
Goten opened his eyes, "Dad?"
Goku smiled at him, "That was really brave."
"Bra?" he tried to get up but couldn't due to the pain.
"I'm here," she stepped closer so he could see her. She kneeled down and kissed his cheek. She smiled, "Thank you."
"Here have this," Trunks handed Goten a senzu bean. Goten ate it. He felt better in a matter of seconds after eating it. He then got up and put a hand over his hurt shoulder.
They then heard movement. They looked over to Vegeta. He was trying tomove. Goku ran over to him and supported him in his arms. The others knelt down next to Vegeta. Bra had tears rolling down her cheek, Trunks was holding back his tears.
"Father?" Trunks wiped an escaped tear from his cheek.
"Hey, hey," he lifted his hand and placed on the side of Trunks' face, "You tell that woman, Bulma…that I love her very much and you are to take care of her now," he told his son. He moved his hand to his daughter's face. Bra put her hands over his. He smiled at his thirteen year old daughter.
"Daddy? Your gonna be okay? Aren't you?" she asked tears flooding down her cheeks.
He smiled weakly, "No, not this time, Bra," he had tears roll down his cheeks, "Now I want you to grow up as beautiful and witty as your mother, okay?" He then looked at both of his children, "I want you to know I love u both very much and I'm proud of you both."
He then looked at Goku. He half smirked, "Well Kakarott, looks like I'll never know what it's like to kill you, now," he laughed and started coughing. His expression then turned to sadness, he breathed heavily, "You…you…have to…promise me…one…thing…" he breathed heavily again.
"Sure," Goku said a tear rolling down his cheek.
~ I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know ~
"You…you…must…take care of…. Bulma…Trunks…. and Bra…" he coughed finding it hard to breathe, "…For…. me…Goku?"
"You have my pr…..Goku?" Goku looked a little confused at Vegeta for calling him Goku.
"Yes Goku! Do…you…?" he started coughing badly again.
"I promise," He smiled down at Vegeta, "Vegeta, there's probably something you should know."
Vegeta looked at him finding it hard to breathe.
"You're my best friend," tears rolled down his cheeks.
"You…too…" Vegeta had tears roll down his cheeks. He weakily smiled at his friend. He stopped smiling and Goku could see the sadness in his eyes. Goku wiped away some tears and nodded.
Vegeta then looked to his children. Well they weren't really children anymore. Trunks had grown up right before his eyes, he was now eighteen, and Vegeta was proud of what a strong saiyajin he was. As for Bra she was thirteen and growing up to become a fine lady. Everytime he looked at her he saw Bulma in her. He smiled at them both and got more upset. This was the last time he would see them. They were upset; he wanted to see them smile.
"Smile," he whispered to them.
They knew he was very near to death, they did as they he told them. They smiled weakly with tears rolling down their cheeks and their eyes red.
"That's better," He smiled, "I love…you!" he took his last breath, he then closed his eyes and his body went limp.
"Father? No!!" Trunks cried on his father's dead body.
"Daddy? No! Daddy!" Bra threw herself crying on top of him. Clenging his clothes on his hands.
Gohan and Goten hung their heads low, tears escaping for the dead friend.
Goku remained to look at Vegeta's face, "Good-bye my friend," tears flooding his cheeks. He raised a hand to shield his eyes.
~ I tried so hard
And got so far
In the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter ~
"NO!!" the girl sat up in a cold sweat, putting her fist through her bed, forgetting how strong she was.
"Bra??" Bulma cried running up the stairs to her daughter's room.
She found Bra in the middle of her broken bed. She raised her hands to face and burst into tears. The yellow aura surrounding her disappeared and her golden hair changing back to aqua green and falling on her shoulders. Bulma kneeled down to the middleof the broken bed. She put her arms around her sobbing daughter.
Trunks came running out if his room to see what was going on. He stood in the door looking at his mother cradling his sister. He folded his arms and looked at his mother with questioning eyes. She nodded as an answer. He knew why Bra was upset. Their father. He quietly sighed and went back to his room.
His father had been dead for four years. Yet it still haunted Bra even though she was seventeen now. She couldn't get over it. He didn't know why she couldn't accept it. He did. And so did his mother. But she couldn't, wouldn't.
"Bra? Bra?" Bulma said a with a shaky voice, she too was upset.
Bra looked at her mother. Her eyes rimmed with tears and red. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks.
"You have to move on, love," Bulma told her daughter, "Would your father want you crying?"
"Move on? Do you expect me to try and forget him?" she said angrily, "How could you suggest that, mom?" Bra stood up and went to her window and flew out of it, angry by what her mother had said.
Bra?!" Bulma ran to the window, watching her daughter fly away, "Wait?"
"Mom, let her go," trunks said with folded arms in the doorway.
She turned to him; "You can talk. You don't even wanna talk about him," she glared angrily at her son and walked past him. He watched her walk past him and down the hallway.
"I can't," he looked at the floor.
She turned round to him, "Can't or won't?"
He walked to his room, still looking at the floor. He sat on his bed, thinking of his father. He couldn't talk about him. He just couldn't. It hurt too much.
Bulma walked into his room. She looked at him sitting on the bed. She sat next to him. She looked at him.
"He looked at his hands," I could have helped him, but I didn't," he looked outside, It was my fault!" he closed his eyes so the tear in his eye wouldn't escape.
"Trunks," his mother stood behind him, "Knowing your father, he probably didn't want your help," her eyes settled on the floor, she thought about Vegeta, "He was always like that. Why don't you just let it out, Trunks?"
He remained to look out the window; "You just don't get it, do you! It was my fault he died!" he looked at her angrily. He turned super saiyajin and flew out the window. She watched him fly away. She leant against the wall and slid down it.
"You don't think I'm hurting too," she hugged her knees and burst out crying, "Why did you go, Vegeta?!" she shouted to the sky. She remained to stay there and cry.
~ I tried so hard
And got so far
In the end it doesn't matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter ~
