Break their hold
Because I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free!
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me, I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
The last thing I heard, was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
(Not Gonna Die by Skillet, second verse and chorus)
Trunks' POV
Goma's been asleep for the longest time. It worries me mostly because something must've happened before I came in and took her out of there.
I'm sure Goten knew what happened. He's not even talking either everyone's too worried about Goma.
So in any case I spared with Dad because I had built up anger about what happened. The memories kept flooding back as I fought dad, with tears straining my vision from when we met.
"Hi I'm Goma, what's your name?"
"Trunks. Are you ok? You fell out of the sky?"
"I'm fine. Just sore a bit. I'll just rest here till I gain my energy back."-Goma
"You woke up on the wrong side of the bed again?" –Trunks
"My father was evil. He got killed by a Sayian on this planet. Are you a Sayian?"- Goma
"Sort of but my Dad isn't the person you're looking for I suppose."- Trunks
"Isn't it awesome? You have a family now!"-Trunks
With a yell I slammed Dad into a tree, my anger gone and the tears slowly dropping from my face.
I floated to earth with my face covered by my hands trying to hide the tears I know wanted to spring forward. I would be ashamed if Dad saw me crying.
Dad walked over me as I was about to wipe my eyes. "Dad, I'm sorry." I looked away from him in complete shame. His hand gripped my shoulder not with anger but it was more for comfort.
I looked back up at him as he helped me to my feet. I could see it in his eyes that he understood how I felt as he gave me a manly hug.
Goten's Pov
I haven't said anything since the other day when Goma kissed Trunks. Dad has asked me what's wrong a bunch of times but I just hide my face so he won't see that I've been crying as much has Gohan has been.
"Goten, I know how you feel about your cousin. She's gonna be ok. She's too strong willed for her own good do just give up and die." Dad said as he sat down next to me in my room which my bed was across the room from Goma who was covered in wound and suction marks.
I was so afraid of looking at Goma. I knew I didn't have the power in me to save her soon after she got capture my fever died away for some reason like it magically happened then suddenly disappeared.
It was like I was targeted so I could be of no help to anyone so I failed her most of all. Soon Grandpa came into the room; he gave me a punch on the shoulder and said. "Look, it's nobody's fault. This stuff happens sometimes but we all gotta be strong for Goma so she can wake up." He sat down next to me as Gohan poked his head into the room I noticed he had red circles under his eyes from crying.
"Gohan come here, son." Dad said as Gohan wiped away another tear. "Everything will be ok." Dad gave him a big smile as I heard the front door open.
Soon Vegeta and Trunks walked into the room Trunks sat near Goma in a chair next to her bed and grasp her hand. "Goma…" He whispered as Vegeta walked over to us and sat down.
"He hasn't been doing well. His fighting skill grew amazingly but his pain got in the way and soon we had to stop because he kept crying all together." Vegeta shook his head in sorrow. I knew how he felt; he saved Goma once, not even once but twice.
Trunks was silently praying for Goma's recovery from what I could tell as he held her hand in both of his holding it to his face and prayed. I was a little hurt and I didn't know what to do for my best friend.
I looked down and away as my best friend loudly sobbed as Grandpa offered Vegeta something to eat in the kitchen where mom was silently shedding her own tears.
"Kakarot, get in here and comfort your wife!" I could hear Grandpa shout as you could hear Mom sob in the back ground besides Gohan's sniffling and Trunks' loud sob.
"Coming, Chi-Chi, Dad!" Dad cried as he got up put both hands on each of me and Gohan and gave us a hopeful smile as he turned and ran into the main room where you could hear Dad ineffectively comforting Mom who just cried louder.
Earlier today we actually had Dende come down and look at Goma who was sweating and moaning in her sleep. He said that he saw what happened and apparently Zager drained her life force only by ¼ but that was still enough to damage her body and mind. He healed her and would check back in a few hours to see how she was doing.
(An: anyone doesn't know math well she got drained 25% of her life force)
She was silent but often whispered someone's name in her sleep. It was mostly either Dad or Trunks. I'm sure even in her state of mind she was worried about them. She whispered my name so slowly I thought she said Uncle Goku. I think even Vegeta was a little worried about his son who was struggling to control his emotions.
I stood up and walked over to Trunks. "Come spar with me like old time, Trunks!" I held my hand out to him. He looked up at me with teary eyes as I gave him my usual grin which I haven't shown since the night I found out I had a cousin.
Trunks smiled through his tears and took my hand as we headed outside to spar in our usual training. I could say we're almost even in skill but he has more power than me while I have the speed.
Soon we were head butting each other and slamming each other and even flew among the trees to avoid each other's Ki blast.
Goma's POV
I struggled in my sleep to wake up. Every time I was close to waking up something pulled me back down. Every time I would surface I would call out their names to help pull me out. My unconsciousness was about as thick as a heavy current or even worst thick liquid covering me and pulling me down but brings me back up.
I was surfaced enough to hear the sobs of my best friend and the sniffles of my cousins. It pained my heart to hear them cry for my sake. I missed them dearly and wanted to get out but something kept pulling me down. I felt like I was being strapped down by death himself.
'Dear God, is this how I'm gonna die? I don't want to go down like this even if I had the option. Please God, give me a second chance at Living. I never got to know the family I have now. I may have only just known them but don't take me away just yet. I'll give up anything just let me be free, I'll give up the memories I had before coming to earth just don't do this to me.' I knew my thoughts could never be heard as I slowly slipped back into the current. My tears left me and so did any sound.
Dende's POV
I felt a shock go through me as I felt a plea escape the new Sayian that was on earth. "This is bad!" Mr. Popo looked at me as I told him the startling news as we both raced down to the mountains.
Trunks' POV
I could sense Dende coming back but for what reason. I and Goten flew up to meet him half way. "What's wrong Dende? Here to check up on Goma?" his face was all sweaty and he looked pale even for his Namekian race's color.
"No, Goma's condition is getting worst. She just sent a pray and I felt her life about to give." Dende's voice almost cracked as we landed outside the house as we all ran in.
"What do you mean her life is giving out?! What did her Prayer say?!" Goten cried as he was about to start crying again. Goku and everyone came back into the room as Dende proceeded to heal Goma once again.
Dende stopped and felt around for Goma's pulse. "She's almost gone. It's getting slower." Dende hide his face as I proceeded to talk to Goma in a quiet voice begging her to wake up and to breathe.
Goma's POV
I could hear voices as I tried to open my eyes. "Someone help me." My mind could only scream in the darkness that was clouding up my mind.
Soon after my screaming dulled my mind drew blank and everything went numb.
Normal view
At Dr. Zager's lab
Dr. Zager was clicking on his computer showing video potage of Goma's mind as it slowly was being consumed by whatever Raditz injected her with. It was a substance that would make her mind foggy but also be able to control her entirely as long as the substance stayed in her system.
But knowing Sayian genes, they often run through stuff quiet quickly already soon the substance would wear off and she would regain conscious again. Dr. Zager had to get Goma back to his lab before she would wake up.
Trunks' POV
I watched as Goma fell into her unconscious state but at least she was breathing again. Dende went home and told us to call when something happens. Everyone went to sleep mostly from all the tears and the cries had exhausted them entirely.
I stayed in Goten's room and right next to Goma. I wasn't leaving her tonight an apparently wasn't Gohan as he slept on the air mattress. Soon everyone was already sleepy and was out before 10.
Seems like Dr. Zager has plans for poor Goma. Bu what could they be? And can the others figure it out in time before Goma becomes Zager's mindless puppet?
All these will be answered in the next chapter
See yah~
