Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction. This story takes place after
the cell games in Mirai Trunks' world.
Part 1: Battle
Trunks looked at the sky. It was a beautiful blue. He smiled to himself, this day was it. He had returned from the past finally and was a lot stronger. This day he would rid his world of the evil androids that had caused so much pain and destruction. He would avenge the deaths of Gohan and those that had died before him. He would rebuild his world. Perhaps then the loneliness he had felt since Gohan's death would abate. First though, he would destroy the androids. Trunks shot into the air and flew off to find them.
************************************************************************ 18 looked over at her brother. He was delighting himself with the pathetic weaklings called humans. 18 let out an exasperated sigh; the desperate cries for help were annoying her. She and her brother, 17, shared the same hatred for humans, but where he enjoyed teasing and terrorizing them, she simply killed them. 18 folded her arms over her chest and let out another sigh, "are you finished yet?" she asked her brother. "No" he said without turning his head. "I'm having fun with this and anyway there's nothing else to do."
"Did you ever consider that this particular activity is not as enjoyable to me as it is to you?"
17 shrugged, "nothing is enjoyable to you." He said simply. "You never smile."
"There's nothing to smile about" she spat. "I'm so bored! Will you hurry up and kill them already, they're annoying me!"
"Everything annoys you."
She glared at him.
"Oh fine!" he blasted the building in which the frightened people had run, causing it to collapse and instantly kill everyone inside. "Happy?"
"Hmph. You took long enough."
"Yes, well now I'm bored. I'll have enough trouble trying to find any more humans to play with. They're mostly either dead or underground."
"You waste your time. Why can't you just kill them and be done?"
"What would I do then?"
"Spend more time on your appearance. You look awful."
"Hmph!" he paused in thought. "I do wish that Trunks were here though."
"Why?"
17 shrugged, "he was entertaining."
18 pursed her lips, "he at least didn't wail and cry."
"Fights with him didn't end so quickly. It wasn't much but it was more challenge than I have now."
"Whatever. Can we go?"
"Where? There's probably nothing interesting left on this planet."
Just then 18 felt something. A large ki headed in their direction. She turned to her brother, "do you feel that?"
"What? No wait, I feel it now. Who is it? I thought we killed everyone with even a small energy level."
"We did." She looked in the direction it was coming from, shading her eyes, "everyone but…Trunks?"
************************************************************************
Trunks was still soaring through the sky. Just ahead he could see two figures hovering above the remains of a building. There, he thought, I've found them. He powered up to Super Saiya-jin level and them sped toward the two androids.
************************************************************************
18 squinted her eyes to see better, "looks like you got your wish 17."
"What?"
"Here he comes."
Just then Trunks shot forward, fist ready. He landed a hard punch on the side of 17's face, sending him sprawling to the ground. 17 wiped the blood from his lip, snarling, "That…brat…will…PAY!" 18 looked at him and smirked, "your temper 17. You wished him here."
"aahhhhh!" 17 launched an all out attack at Trunks, throwing mighty punches and kicks to no avail. "Why…can't…I…hit…him!" he screamed.
Trunks stared at him coldly. "I have surpassed you" he said, seemingly devoid of emotion. He threw a series of blasts at the android, most of which landing with chilling accuracy. 17 lay on the ground, furious. "NO! It's not possible! That brat could not have beaten me!"
"I have not beaten you until you're dead" Trunks told the android. For the first time during his existence as a non-human, 17 felt fear. 18 looked on in disbelief. There was no way just no way! She saw Trunks gather a massive ball of energy and aim it at 17.
"Now you basterd!" he shouted "VANISH FROM MY SIGHT!!!!"
18 gasped as the blast hit 17 head on. He screamed, but only for a moment for he was soon burned to nothing. 18 looked at the empty place where her brother had been, he had been annoying but he had been her brother and all she had. A small tear escaped her eyes. 17, she thought, I can't believe you're gone. "Now I am alone," she whispered. No! I don't want to be alone.
"Not for long," a cold voice sounded behind her. "I will send you to your brother."
Fear gripped 18, fear like never before. He was barely scathed by his fight with 17(if you can call it that). Trunks had destroyed 17 with little effort. She had always been stronger than her brother by not so significantly that it would save her. She slowly faced him. He was advancing toward her, hands raised. "No!" she shouted throwing up her shield, "No! I don't want to die!"
"Do you think all the innocent people you killed did?!" He fired a small blast at her. It bounced harmlessly off her shield.
"I…I…" she was to terrified to give and answer.
"Do you think Gohan wanted to die?!" He sent another blast, this time pushing her back.
"I…I…" 18 still had no answer. She couldn't believe this was happening. She and her brother were supposed to be the strongest, unmatched, unbeatable, unstoppable, yet…17 was dead and she…she was going to die.
"You killed them all! My father, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamucha, Tien! DO YOU THINK THEY WANTED TO DIE?!!"
"I…"
"Do you think my mother wanted to be lonely all those years? Do you think I wanted to grow up without a father?" He sent another blast at her, knocking her back. "DO YOU!" Another. This one penetrated she shield and burned a hole in her side. She screamed in pain and grasped the gapping hole. Pain! Pain! That's all she could feel. It hurt so. She had never been hurt this badly…ever. She wasn't supposed to feel pain! She wasn't human! That was why she had agreed to let Dr. Gero turn her into an android in the first place, to escape the pain! She looked at Trunks. She hated him for this pain!
"stop! You're hurting me!"
Trunks fired another blast at her. "LOOK AT THIS WORLD! DO YOU THINK WE ASKED FOR THIS!"
"I know but…I don't want to die!" tears flowed from her eyes. Flooding her face with salt.
He just looked at her, coldness returning to his eyes with a hint of pity, "Sometimes, we don't get what we want." He fired a final blast at her and she knew darkness.
************************************************************************
Bulma looked out the kitchen window. Trunks where are you?, she thought, I hope you're not hurt. Please don't be hurt. I'd die if you didn't come back. She turned back to her task of making dinner. He was all right. She was sure of it. Besides he'd promised he would be fine, he'd promised he would come back…so did Vegeta, and he never came back. He died… No. Trunks was fine, she told herself, there was no way he could be otherwise…yet…She heard a large explosion far off in the distance. It sounded like…it sounded like…She could still remember that day, the day her heart had broken forever. A tear ran down her face as the memories played in her head.
She stood in the doorway cradling an infant in her arms. A man stood in front of her with his arms folded over his chest. He turned to go. She grabbed his arm, "please, don't leave me!"
"We've been through this woman." He said. "I must go. I have to battle the androids. I cannot stay here with you."
Tears began falling down her face leaving salty trails, "I know…I just…I don't know what I would do without you."
He gently wiped the tears from her face, "don't cry woman. You know I hate that." Cupping her chin in his gloved hand, he softly kissed her "Bulma …" he murmured her name, he rarely ever said her name. She grabbed his hand and looked into his dark eyes, "Vegeta…promise me…promise me you'll come back to me."
He frowned, "Woman I…"
She squeezed his hand desperately and choked back tears, "promise me!"
He kissed her again, "I promise"…
The scene faded. A new scene appeared, showing a day or two later.
Bulma sat in the kitchen playing with baby Trunks. He gurgled happily and clapped his hands as she made faces at him. Bulma smiled. She loved to see her son happy, even when she wasn't. He hadn't returned yet. She missed him, especially at night. It was cold without him. She was worried but not much, he had promised her he would come back, she trusted him, and he wouldn't lie to her… Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Bulma got up, placing Trunks on her hip, and answered it. Chi-chi stood out side looking distressed. "Chi-chi, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
"Bulma, there's something I need to tell you." She said carefully trying to find the right words.
"What is it?"
"Perhaps you should sit down"
"Chi-chi what is it?"
Chi-chi sighed, "I've just been to Kame House…"
"And?"
"And I…I have some news. It's about Vegeta."
"What is it?!" Bulma was getting nervous, something was not right. She could feel it something horrible had happened, but she couldn't jump to conclusions. "Go on."
"I'm sorry Bulma, I'm so sorry. It was too late when they found him, it was…too late"
Bulma could feel her breath catch in her throat. No. It couldn't be. "What are you talking about?" she said shakily, feigning ignorance, hopping against all hope…
" He…Vegeta, he…he…Vegeta is…"
Bulma covered her mouth to keep from screaming. She began to shake her head, "no. No it's not true. No."
"I'm so sorry Bulma."
"But he can be brought back can't he?! The Dragonballs…I can wish him back?!"
"No Bulma I'm sorry, he's gone."
"No! NO! It's not true it's not! He's not gone! HE CAN'T BE!!"
"I'm so sorry I had to tell you." Chichi laid a hand on her shoulder.
"No! Oh Kami NO!" She crumpled to the floor, taking Trunks with her, and beat her fists against it. "Vegeta you basterd!" she cried, "how could you! How could you just die on me like that! How could you! How could you let those fucking pieces of scrap metal kill you! You said you were the strongest! You said they didn't stand a chance! You said you would be fine! You lied, damn you, you lied to me!!! Trunks needs you! I need you! You fucking ass-hole, you lied!! You lied!!!!!"
Chichi grabbed Bulma by the shoulders and began to shake her as Trunks wailed, confused and angry. "Bulma! Bulma, stop it! Calm down!"
Bulma continued screaming, paying no attention to either Chichi or her son. " No! No no no no no! How could you! How could you leave me alone! Damn you Vegeta! Damn you to hell! I love you, you fucking son of a bitch! Is this what I get! How could you, you fucking basterd! YOU LIED!!! You promised me you'd come back! You promised me damnit! YOU PROMISED ME!!!" she hid her face in her hands and sobbed loudly…
"Mother?" a voice startled Bulma from her daze. A single tear falling from her face "Mother, are you all right?"
"Trunks? Trunks" she ran to him and hugged him tightly. "Oh I was so worried! I thought…I thought…" She admitted to herself what she had thought, that he was gone. That he had been taken from her, just like his father.
"don't worry Mother I'm fine. They're gone."
"whose gone?"
"the androids, I destroyed them."
"oh Trunks." She said, and hugged him tighter.
************************************************************************
18 was jolted awake. I'm not dead? How? She was buried under tons of cement and rubble. Her body ached badly. She looked at the hole in her side. She was alive, but she wouldn't be if she didn't get help soon. She slowly dug herself out; the world was dark around her. She looked around. If I'm alive then maybe 17…no I am fooling myself he could not possibly have survived. She brushed the dried salt trail from her face. How long have I been unconscious? then she felt an awful pain in her side. I need help if I am to survive, but who can help me? She thought for a moment, I know. She weakly lifted herself into the air and slowly flew off.
