Vegeta's Decision Chapter 2

Vegeta looked at Krillin, He actually admitted it, I can't believe it.

Trunks chased after his father's ki. He's at the island where we defeated Cell. What? I can feel Krillin there, too. Trunks' blue ki flame turned a beautiful golden-yellow as he turned Super Saiyan and his speed increased.

Trunks reached the island in no time, he began to follow Vegeta's ki on foot. Better not waste my energy, Trunks thought turning back to his regular state. What Trunks found was shocking, Krillin holding his father's arm pleading about something with tears streaming down his face.

"Father!" Trunks called.

Vegeta turned, giving up on trying to shake Krillin off. Trunks was rushing towards them. Oh, marvelous. Now he thinks I beat up the midget or something.

"What is it now, boy?" Vegeta answered, not really caring if he answered.

"What's wrong with Krillin?" Trunks said after he stopped next to Vegeta.

"He doesn't want me to blow up his toaster of a girlfriend." Vegeta answered.

Krillin let go of Vegeta, wiped away the tears and pleaded, "Please, don't. Trunks, help me."

"You'd better not, boy. I know you hate androids as much as I do. I might let you destroy the busted one." Vegeta answered. Ending the conversation, once again, he walks off towards #18 and #16. #18 backed up, but backed straight into a wall. #16 tried to get up however his injuries would not let him even stand.

"Father, could you... do as much as... sparing, um, #18 and #16?" Trunks said somewhat quietly.

Vegeta stopped abruptly. "What?" Vegeta questioned. "Explain, now." Vegeta said as he whipped around and walked slowly towards his future son.

"I... uh..." Trunks cleared his throat. "Mhm... Can you please spare the androids? There are very good reasons. #16 could be a help to understand technology and other androids, with my mother's help. If Dr. Gero has any other androids, we could defeat them easier, without breaking a sweat." Trunks said a little louder and clearer.

"And what of #18? Hmm?" Vegeta pressed Trunks on.

"Well... for," Trunks' voice went almost silent. "for Krillin's sake, father."

"What was that?" Vegeta said, his expression unreadable.

"For Krillin, father. He is attached to her, as you know." Trunks said again, louder.

"Hmmm... I bet you don't know why I wish to blow her to bits, do you, son?" Vegeta turned his head, masking his obsidian eyes in shadow.

"Isn't it because they're your opponent and you wish to annihilate all your opponents, big or small?" Trunks responded, in hopes of being right.

"Close, but no. I was once defeated by... her... and that has taken my pride, my honor, and now I have to get it back." Vegeta answered then left the shadows proceeding towards the androids. "However, under the... circumstances... I will spare the broken giant. He is of no interest to me." Vegeta says. He turns his head quickly out of sight to avoid his son's gaze, not wanting to explain his reasoning.

As Vegeta walked away, he said he would spare #16. Then, he turned his head quickly. Why did he do that? Trunks thought back to what he'd said in #16's defense. Wait a second, I mentioned my mother, does this mean that the reason #16 has been spared is because of my mother's sake? Can this be true, father? Trunks thought silently.

"What are you standing there for?! Carry #16 to your mother." Vegeta said impatiently, head still turned away from him.

"Right, thank you, father. Mother will appreciate this." Trunks said as he picked up the broken android and flew off.

Vegeta growled realizing that he knows why he spared #16. Krillin was in the background, approaching #18. He thought for a moment, Does the weakling feel the same things I do? Is he really in love? Am I? Vegeta growled once again. Forget that! I'm destroying that android! He told himself. Krillin stepped in front of #18, guarding her from Vegeta.

Automatically, without any thought, Vegeta said, "Go, leave, now." He said sternly. When they didn't move, he continued, "Get out of here before I change my mind!" Vegeta was numb with shock as to what he said, so he turned his head away from Krillin and the android. Krillin and #18 were shocked as well, wondering if he was really Vegeta. However, they didn't ignore their chance. Krilliin and #18 flew off, before Vegeta could rethink his decision.

Why did I say that?! Vegeta thought, however a part of him did not want to chase after them. Good thing nobody else but the midget and the android was here. If Trunks saw me say that it would go straight to that woman, and then I'd never hear the end of it, Vegeta thought.

Did I just hear him say that? Did he let them go? I must've fainted and I'm dreaming. Trunks thought silently. He'd gone back to pick up his dropped capsule case when Vegeta let Krillin and #18 go. After that, he tiptoed silently and suppressed his ki, his father must have been lost in thought. Maybe he was thinking about Mom... Just wait until Mother hears this! Trunks thought happily. He really does care!

Now what to do? Go back to that woman and my so- I mean her brat or go back to... Well... To what? Vegeta was indecisive, go back to Bulma or back to nothing. I'll just wait until Kakarot emerges from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, then I'll see. Vegeta took off into the direction of Kami's Lookout, in his regular state. Maybe I should catch up with Trunks... He then transformed to Super Saiyan, and followed after Trunks' ki.

Hmm...? I feel my father's ki coming... I wonder what he wants... Trunks thought as Vegeta caught up with him shortly after. Vegeta returned to his regular state and flew next to his son, even with #16 on Trunks' back, he stayed right next to him.

"Yes, father?"

Vegeta looked at him. "Hmm... I'll go with you to Kami's Lookout, that's where your mother is, correct?"

Trunks' heart skipped a beat, Did he just ask where Mom was? "Yeah, that's right. She's there along with Piccolo and Tien."

"Good, we'll wait for Kakarot to emerge there." Vegeta said no more.

Trunks' heart sank back down, Oh, he's just going to wait for Goku. But that still doesn't deny he let #16 go for Mom's sake! Trunks thought hopefully as they flew to Kami's Lookout in silence.

Landing on the lookout, Vegeta and Trunks walked towards the others. Krillin had arrived but #18 wasn't there.

"Hey, Midget! Where's your girlfriend?" Vegeta called teasingly.

Krillin's face went tomato red as he said, "Well, she flew off in the other direction..."

"Girlfriend? Krillin has a girlfriend?" Tien questioned.

"Didn't you notice that every time you mentioned or saw #18, this one here would start daydreaming?" Vegeta answered, leaning against a pillar.

"Father, leave him alone." Trunks said.

"Why? It's the truth, isn't it?" Vegeta responded.

Krillin nodded sheepishly.

"Are you guys going to stand her torturing Krillin or are we going to get something done?" Piccolo shouted.

"Piccolo, who are you yelling at?" Bulma called with the bundle called Trunks in her arms, she walked to the balcony.

Suddenly, Bulma's eyes got teary. "V-Vegeta! And Trunks! You're okay! Where did you go? Why did you leave?" Questions poured out of the teary-eyed blue-haired woman like a waterfall out of a mountain.

"Is Kakarot out yet, woman?" Vegeta answered, ignoring her questions.

"No but-" Bulma was cut off by a black genie announcing, "Goku and Gohan are emerging out of the Time Chamber!"

To Be Continued! Please Rate&Review, revising this chapter and I've noticed I wrote Trunks like he's a determined shipper, shipping his parents... Anyway, thanks for reading, MissGenocide!
