Thank you, thank you for all the reviews and subscriptions! You're the best =D Here's chapter 25, I skipped the whole battle with Cell thing because we all saw it plus I'm not very good at fighting scenes =P

I don't own Dragon Ball and/or Born to die. Akira Toriyama and Lana Del Rey are the lucky ones!


Chapter Twenty-five: Born to die!


With training, the Gala, Gohan's birthday party and every other little thing, 6 days came and went, unnoticed. Keeping promises wasn't a hard feat for Vegeta. He was extremely exhausted and while everyone else around him did other activities other than training, he didn't care! Bulma was always at the lab, fixing Android 16, Trunks and Bra offered their help once or twice but Bulma had flat out refused with the pretext that they already had a lot of other things to do. So the siblings spent their time in the GR with their father and were quickly improving. Bra had yet to gain full control of her ascended form but she had a little bit of it and unless she got really angry, she could actually hold her own.

Baby Trunks was always cranky and grumpy. He wasn't the center of attention anymore and this was a thing that bothered him a lot because he was left with his grandma all day. Where were his Mama, Dada, Bwa and Twunks?! Did they forget about him?! The baby didn't like the 'forget about him' part at all! How could someone just forget about him?! So, he was trying to find something that would help him… Fresh tears… yes, fresh tears always worked. Giving a baby smirk, he immediately started wailing, letting his grandma know that something was definitely wrong.

"Oh there, there honey, don't cry! Are you hungry? Weird you just ate and you don't need changing either… oh you wanted your grandma didn't you?" cooed Bunny.

Trunks started to cry even louder and right that instant, Vegeta entered the kitchen. The baby stopped crying, eyeing his father with puffy red eyes.

Her eyes widening with realization, Bunny Briefs smiled brightly. "You just wanted your daddy didn't you? Vegeta dear, you must be really hungry, you are a growing man after all! Here, take Trunks while I get you something to eat!" and without warning, she passed the baby to him.

Vegeta was totally shocked, who in his right mind would leave him with a baby? Then again, the ditzy blonde wasn't in her right mind, and he wasn't going to refuse food… a Saiyan never did that, it was a taboo!

Trunks smirked evilly, something that didn't go unnoticed by his father. Yes, his plan had worked! Too bad he couldn't do that cool thing everybody did. Why couldn't he stand on his own two feet?!

Vegeta noticed the all too familiar look in his son's face and chuckled. 'Evil brat!' he thought to himself. When he heard footsteps in the hallway, he looked up to see Trunks and Bra entering the room as well. The baby's eyes lit up, mentally patting himself on his back. Fresh tears were an amazing trick. As if on cue, Bulma entered the room too. Satisfied, Trunks sat on Vegeta's lap watching them carefully.

"Hey baby I missed you! Have you been a good boy for grandma?" said Bulma cooing while picking him up. Baby Trunks scowled, who did she think she was?! She had abandoned him all morning, no one abandoned Trunks!

"Mom, why's he upset all of a sudden?" asked Bra noticing his scowl.

Bulma laughed at the baby's face. "Well, he's been ignored all morning. I've been in the lab, you guys have been training and that's why he's upset."

"Hey dad" said Bra changing the topic "You remember the promise right? Say, how about today?"

"We'll be fighting Cell in 4 days and all you can think about is the beach. You're definitely your mother's daughter girl!" said Vegeta rolling his eyes and sighing.

"Yup, my little girl!" said Bulma happily.

"Please, pretty please?" pleaded Bra with her puppy dog eyes. Vegeta lost all control over himself and sighed. "When?"

"Today after lunch" she said without hesitation "Then we'll train and only train, no more distractions, I swear! What do you say mom? You could definitely use some relaxing time, you look extremely pale."

"I guess…" replied Bulma eating.

"Yes dear, you're pale and hungry! It's nice to know you enjoy my cooking!" stated Mrs. Briefs happily, clapping her hands.

"So Trunks, how's Suna?" inquired Bulma.

Trunks' face reddened and Vegeta and Bra smirked.

"Who's Suna Trunks?" asked the girl watching him carefully.

"Uh… no one really…" quickly replied Trunks.

"Well, it didn't seem like nothing boy." stated Vegeta calmly, with Bulma barely restraining her laugh.

Bra's eyes instantly widened with realization. "She's the blondie with the red dress at the Gala isn't she? Oh Trunksie's got a girlfriend!" said Bra in a teasing tone.

"Shut up pipsqueak, I saw you and that dark haired boy!" snapped Trunks, his face red as a tomato.

"Trunks and Suna, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!" recited Bra singing. Then she registered Trunks' words and replied "Well, I was doing nothing wrong plus I was interrupted by a certain someone!"

"Careful girl, you were doing something very wrong, you were making out with him in a crowded place full of people!" replied Vegeta.

"I already told you once, I was doing no such thing!" said Bra narrowing her eyes at her father.

"Ha, like I don't know how does 'making out' look like! Don't forget your mere presence is the result of something that started with a long make out session!" smirked Vegeta.

Bulma nearly chocked and Trunks chuckled while Bra's jaw fell and her face reddened from anger and embarrassment.

"Anyway, even Kakarot saw you boy, you couldn't keep your face away from hers, as if you were glued!"

"WHAT?!" Bra nearly fell from her chair from shock. "You really kissed her and you didn't faint Trunks? Now that is something!"

Trunks hid his face with both his hands whining while Bulma and Bra burst out laughing with Vegeta smirking. Baby Trunks noticed his grown up version's embarrassment and tried to comfort him. Bulma stopped her laughing and made a mental picture of the whole situation. She was really going to miss those two. Suddenly, she started crying and every Saiyan in the room smelled the scent of salty tears. They glanced over at Bulma and were baffled from her crying face and red nose.

"Mama?" said Baby Trunks patting his mother's arm.

"Mom?" asked Bra "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I'm going to miss you!" exclaimed Bulma, crying even louder.

"Oh come on mom, this is supposed to be our happy day off! Don't think about that right now. Plus, we'll come again after we defeat our timeline's tin cans, right Trunks?"

"Sure, we'll be back soon."

Bulma's cries were now reduced to sniffles. "Well, okay…"


The afternoon at the beach went smoothly, even though Vegeta was pissed off because every single man there was either ogling Bra or Bulma, add this to the long list of why he didn't want any attachment. He was aware of the stares he was getting from the human females but he didn't care. He did care that the little brat kept crawling towards him though. At the end of the day, Vegeta realized that he was a man of an extraordinary sense and amount of patience, even though everybody told him differently.


4 days came and went quickly. The last day, the entire group of fighters met at Capsule Corp. to discuss tomorrow's events. Goku and Vegeta had played 'rock paper scissors' , much to the older Saiyan's disdain who was pissed off at the usage of such a lame and childish to determine his victory, with Goku winning. Bra had raised her voice at Bulma, warning her of what was to happen if she would recklessly show up at the battlefield. Yamcha had tried his best not to look at the younger blue haired beauty, the prince's death threats still fresh on his mind. When evening came, everyone left.

Vegeta was at the balcony on his and Bulma's room. He sighed when he felt her behind him.

"I'm going to say this just once, I want you to come back alive tomorrow. Don't you dare die or I'm going to wish you back just so I can personally kill you all over again."

Vegeta didn't know about tomorrow but he decided to enjoy this just like it was his last night. Surprising her, he turned around, picked her up bridal style and headed inside to their bed, praying to God that Trunks would sleep through the night.

The siblings were in Bra's room, neither of them could get any sleep.

"Sis, I want you to be careful tomorrow." said Trunks while hugging her.

"Same goes to you Trunks." replied the teenager hugging him back.

After letting her fall asleep, Trunks tucked her in and headed towards his room. He had a bad feeling about tomorrow and staring at the ceiling, he finally fell asleep at 4:15 am.


"Oh my God…" said Bra with half voice. Cell was gone but with a huge price to pay, Goku's life. That's why they came to the past in the first place, so no one would die. But he died nonetheless, sacrificed himself for humanity… so much like him to do this.

Gohan fell to his knees, tired and hurt, blaming himself for his father's sacrifice. Her own father was in complete shock.

"… Trunks…" whispered the girl ready to burst in tears.

Trunks knew her well enough and he could hear her thoughts in his head so he grabbed her and pulled her in for an embrace.

"It's okay sis, it's all over. He's gone, Cell is gone." Whispered Trunks in an attempt to calm her down. Neither of them felt the huge energy until a single beam hit them both, entering Bra's back and coming out of Trunks' back, shocking everyone around them. Bra's back arched as she gasped, suddenly not being able to breath anymore. Trunks fell to the ground, coughing blood, with Bra next to him, using what little energy was left to get up and reach him. With a lot of effort, she managed to reach her brother and the desperate attempt to talk made her fall on her back, with the world fading, missing Vegeta's shocked and hurt expression. Then everything went black.


She was in a strange place, with her brother next to her, both standing in front of a red giant with 2 horns on his head.

"Where the hell are we?!" she wondered, taking in her surroundings.

"You're not in Hell and I don't think you've done evil things to go down there." said a familiar cheerful voice.

"Goku!" shouted the siblings in unison.

"Hey there!" said the Saiyan sheepishly, one hand scratching the back of his head. "You're in King Yemma's office. Welcome to the Otherworld, Cell killed you, I tried to stop him but he blew up King Kai's planet and regenerated, thanks to Piccolo's cells. Like Frieza, he could survive in space without oxygen and like me & Vegeta, he came back stronger because of the Zenkai."

"See sis, told you that ability was stupid." muttered Trunks.

"Goku." The red giant cleared his throat "Good to see you but are you done with your chatter? I have a lot of work to do!" he opened a book and started reading "So, Trunks and Bra Briefs, Cell killed you with a finger beam right?"

"That's what they say…" replied Bra.

"Hm… here says you've led a brave life and that you're from another timeline. You came to the past 3 years ago and… fought Frieza and his father King Cold?!" nearly shouted the giant, shocked.

"Correction." said Trunks.

"Killed them." added Bra "Effortlessly" she said again in a very Vegeta smirk on her face which didn't go unnoticed by King Yemma.

"And your parents are the human Bulma Briefs and the Saiyan prince Vegeta. Correct?"

"Yes." replied Trunks.

"Good, I have a mission for you. Frieza escaped from his prison and is causing a lot of trouble down there. Care to put him in place?"

"I'd love that!" said Bra smiling. "Come on Trunks, let's beat some lizard ass!"

Rolling his eyes at the girl, King Yemma added "When you're done, let the guards know and they'll send you back here. Good luck!"

"Right" smirked Trunks "Bye Goku, see ya!"

"Bye kids, have fun!" replied Goku smiling.


"Well, well, well, if it isn't the monkeys and their king! A lot of monkeys, all dead at my hands!" said Frieza to the group of Saiyans. On both his sides were his lap dogs, Zarbon and Dodoria, both of them smiling evilly.

"Look Zarbon, Dodoria… I'll never get tired of this, I love to see the monkeys dead and in Hell, all of them."

"Look Trunks, if it isn't our dear old friend Frieza! He seems to be all flesh and bone this time!"

"Am I glad to see him sis!"

Frieza panicked, recognizing the voices very well. He started looking around but the voices came from different directions and there were no scouters down in Hell.

"Up here idiot!" shouted the girl. Frieza, Zarbon, Dodoria and all the Saiyans looked up their heads at the two fighters.

'Hey Trunks, it's grandpa, I guess, he looks like dad but with a beard and much older.'

'Yes and I can see someone like Goku. An entire group on Saiyans!'

"N-Not you again!" said Frieza, when the siblings touched down, trying to hide his panic.

"Frieza, who are those kids?"

"Shut up Zarbon, I'm not in a good mood right now." threatened Frieza.

"Zarbon? THE Zarbon from Namek?" asked Bra trying to restrain her laugh. "What were you in Frieza's army, his pretty boy? Or concubine?"

"Look Zarbon." said Dodoria chuckling "I've heard those lines before."

"SILENCE!" yelled Frieza, pissed off "I don't care about your incessant blabbering. It seems you joined us in Hell, welcome! I'll make sure you have a nice stay!" he finished laughing.

"Sorry freak." smirked Trunks "We're here to kick your ass off, again!"
