Chapter 12

Marron walked around hopelessly, her face displaying noting but pure anguish as her cell phone rang.

The blonde sighed as she reached into her pocket, sliding her phone out.

"Hello?"

"Is this Marron?" another voice spoke from the other line.

"Yes, this is her."

"Pardon if I'm prying, but are you somewhat related to Trunks Briefs?"

"Yes, I'm his 'fiancee'."

"I'm very sorry to report this to you, but he may have died in a fire."

Marron's eyes widened, "What, how?!"

"A friend of his entitled to the name of Son Gohan mention it was in intention of saving someone named 17."

Bulma sobbed on Vegeta, Gohan pulling off an act of sadness.

"He was too young to die." Vegeta sighed and tried to hide his emotions.

"Yeah, he was." Gohan frowned.

"I knew it would end like this." Bulma wailed.

The sound of an ambulance and police sirens filled up the grieving group's eardrums as it got closer.

The firefighters jumped off of their red vehicle to the almost torn down building which was still on fire, putting on their masks.

A police officer walked towards Gohan, pulling out a notepad, ready to take notes, "Are you Gohan, sir?"

"Yes, that's me."

"I'd like to know everything that happened."

Gohan nodded and started to spill the whole story, the firefighters searching for corpses.

"Bulma! Vegeta!" a familiar voice yelled as it approached.

"Huh?" Vegeta looked up, Bulma doing the same.

"Vegeta! Bulma!" the voice yelled again.

Vegeta's eyes widened at the sight of Marron approaching them.

Marron ran to them, out of breath, "What happened to Trunks?!"

Vegeta looked at Marron.

"Marron . . . I don't know what to say . . . but . . . "

Everyone grew silent at the sound of Gohan's gasping.

Everyone's eyes, now darting towards the burning building, caught sight of an arm crawling out.

Marron's eyes widened as she smiled ecstatically, "Trunks!"

Trunks smiled weakly and walked out of the building as it collapsed behind him.

"Trunks! You're ok!" Marron ran to him.

Trunks' smiled disappeared as he set his eyes on Marron.

Marron stopped in her stacks as soon as she caught sight of a body in her fiancee's arms.

"Black hair . . . orange handkerchief . . . no . . ."

The sight of the passed out Andriod 17 in Trunks' arms made Marron grow infuriated.

"It's him! It's because of him that Trunks was in the verge of life and death!"

One of Marron's hands turned into a fist.

"Damn him! Damn him for everything! He will pay!"

Trunks looked away from Marron, directing his attention towards the others.

Bulma looked up from Vegeta's arms, her tears evaporating.

"My baby!" she smiled and yelled.

Trunks beamed another weak smile at everyone, "H-Hi guys."

Trunks chuckled and fainted, his body hitting the floor, 17's on top of his.

Bulma gasped as she ran to Trunks, "Trunksie boo!"

Vegeta did the same, Gohan staying sat up in his same spot.

The firefighters approached Trunks, one of them sliding their fingers around his neck.

"No pulse."

17 coughed as his eyes slowly opened.

"Hmmnnn? What happened?" 17 gasped, his eyes darting to Trunks, which was now passed out.

"We got to take him to the hospital! This is a serious problem!" another firefighter added.

"Wait, what?!" 17 wore a puzzled look as a nurse pulled out a stretcher from an ambulance.

"No need for that, I'll take him myself." Vegeta got up and picked up his son, flying towards the nearest hospital.

The fire and police crew stared at Vegeta in surprise, 17 starting to take off after Vegeta, "Wait!"

"17! Come back!" Gohan grabbed 17's arm, pulling him down.

"What!?"

"Are you alright?"

"I could care less about that! I want to know how Trunks is and what happened!"

"It's a long story, I'll fill you in on the whole story once we get to the hospital."

With no other words, Gohan took 17 into his arms and took off after the Saiyan Prince.

"Wait, what about me?!" Bulma yelled.

No answer from the now flying saiyans flew back to Bulma.

"Ugh!"

"Don't worry ma'am, we can drive you there." a police officer walked to Bulma.

"No need to." Bulma frowned and pulled out a capsule from her pocket, clicking on the button on the top and throwing it to the ground.

Smoke formed as a Capsule Corp helicopter appeared.

The police department, once again surprised, stood there as Bulma got into her flying vehicle.
