Two Sons; Chapter 6: Yama's Plan

by That Awesome Dbz Guy

I'm back (luckily sooner than usual.) The two chapters after this will be more enjoyable to write, they're a little more light hearted... I have an ending in mind similar to the ending of "A Father's Love" (secretly I'm proud of the name of that story.) Anywho, enough rambling. On with this chapter!

Disclaimer: No disclaimer. I am not going to say "I don't own Dbz"- Oops. I just said it.

Warning: You know the drill. Words that are meant to be cursing will be emphasized. For example: *Scum= B*stard. *Butt= A*. *Darn* (or *dang*)= D*mn, etc.

Apologies: So sorry. I WANTED to post the other day, but my body basically said "Hey, ya wanna get sick?" It ignored my reply. Point is, I was sick so I couldn't. Also sorry, but this is a short chapter. Once again... On with this chapter!

"Trunks... why did Yama kidnap you?"

Trunks let out a short surprised breath but didn't speak.

"Do you know why?" Goku asked again.

Trunks still didn't say a word but slightly shook his head.

"Are you sure-"

"Let the boy be, Kakarot," Vegeta spat. "Has it occurred to you that maybe he doesn't feel like talking about it. So stop cornering him!"

"Actually Yama did say something..." Trunks spoke up.

"Hm?"

"He was talking about some... 'extraction...'" Trunks gulped. "I don't know what he was talking about."

"That reminds me," Mirai chimed in. "Yama had the ability to absorb energy I think."

"Why do you think that?" Vegeta asked.

"When I fought him I turned in my Super Sayian form, but he just held out his hand and suddenly my Super Sayian energy was gone!" stated Mirai. "And, Trunks." He looked at his present self. "Didn't something like that happen with you?"

Trunks nodded. "Now that I think about it, something like that DID happen. I shot a blast at him and he absorbed it."

"More like he... EXTRACTED it," said Mirai.

All four of them gasped.

"Could that mean...?" fear fell on Trunks' face.

"He was trying to extract all of Trunks' energy," Vegeta finished.

"But that doesn't make sense," Trunks retorted. "Why would he kidnap ME if he wanted power. Mirai was injured enough that he could have got energy from him!"

"While you have a point, there's a simple answer," Vegeta broke in. "First, you would be the easiest to kidnap and keep under control. Second, in a lot of cases with a absorption power, there is a limit to how much power they can hold at one time. It would have been easier to take small amounts of energy from you at a time. But with Mirai with him having a higher power level it would be harder to extract power from him," Vegeta explained.

"It makes sense when you put it like that," Trunks replied.

"In any case, there's still one question that remains," Vegeta stated. "How did Yama know about us?"

"Know that I think about you have a valid point," Mirai admitted. "He couldn't have sensed us and decided it! He must've had SOME kind of preconceived ideas or a plan."

"But how?" Trunks looked up with wonder on his face.

"That's what we're trying to figure out," Mirai looked at Goku. "Goku, you haven't said anything much. You thinking about something?"

Goku nodded. "Actually, yeah, I was. Yama talked like he didn't like Sayians, in fact he had an especially large grudge against Vegeta. Also I saw a symbol on Yama's clothes that I recognized."

"Get to the point, Kakarot."

"That symbol looked like the symbol Kama had," Goku pointed out.

"You think he has something to do with Kama?" Vegeta asked.

"Not just him," Goku sighed. "But maybe the Arcosians in general."

"Some trouble from that *scum* Freiza's race," muttered Vegeta sarcastically with an angry edge to his voice.

"You lost me at 'Arcosians'," Trunks chimed in. "What are they?"

"Do you remember who Freiza is?" Mirai asked.

"The guy that killed Dad on another planet?"

Vegeta looked baffled then a bit angry. "Wha-? Wh- who told you that?!"

"Mom did," Trunks said suspiciously while thinking 'I definitely didn't go through your personal belongings.'

"Anyway, Arcosian is the race Freiza's from," said Mirai getting back to their main subject.

"So what IS Yama's plan?" asked Trunks.

"We know as much as you do, kid," Mirai replied.

"But why are we worrying about him when he's DEAD?" Trunks raised an eyebrow.

"Because it seemed to be too easy," Vegeta mused. "Yama's one clever *scum, sure enough. He might not be dead."

"You're right on that," Goku agreed.

"Before we talk anymore," Vegeta began. "We need to reheat dinner. I'm sure it's gotten cold while we were rambling."

Mirai laughed while scratching behind his head. "I guess you're right."

Under Yama's hideout was a place with healing chambers. Kama, who was under there, sighed.

"When is that Yama gonna be healed?" Kama mused.

Suddenly Yama stepped out of a healing chamber. He huffed then turned to Kama. "Why did you save me, *scum*?"

"How rude," replied Kama. "I just saved your life ya know."

"Why did you save me?!"

"Because our name sounds similar," said Kama sarcastically. "What do you think? Your a great asset to me."

"Well you could've healed me a little more,"" muttered Yama looking at the several cuts on his body and the huge wound on his chest.

"It was hard enough to heal your chest wound enough so it wasn't fatal," Kama retorted. "Anyway, I have a plan for you to beat the Sayians."
