Through The Eyes of A Saiyan

Chapter 5 - Brink of Insanity

Vegeta's eyes widened as he stood in stunned silence for a moment before he could will himself to move. "Woman??? Bulma!!!" He began shaking her a little, praying that she would show some reaction. "Woman say something!! Please Bulma! Open your eyes!!" After getting no response from her, he stepped back a little and gritted his teeth. "OH KAMI, NO!!" He reached over and punched the button next to her bed that the nurse had informed them about earlier.

Within a few seconds, a young nurse came running in the room, "Nan desu ka?", she asked hurriedly.

Vegeta looked at the nurse. "Hurry, Woman! She isn't breathing!! Help her!!", he demanded frantically.

Her eyes widened in shock, "Oh dear!!!", she ran over to Bulma and checked for a pulse, but didn't find one. The nurse instantly pulled out her walkie-talkie and yelled, "We need an emergency staff in ICU NOW!!"

A team of four doctors and two nurses rushed into the room and ran up beside Bulma as they attempted to revive her.



Trunks leaned his back against the phone booth, looking down at the floor, "Hai Goku, she's in ICU now and the doctors say that she'll be fine.", he informed. Suddenly, his head shot up as he looked in front of him, sensing Bulma's ki to be gone. "No…it can't be…", he gritted his teeth, "Goku, I have to go!", he said hurriedly and hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

In all the commotion, Vegeta stood bewildered, until a doctor came up to him, "Sir, you need to come with me.", he directed and escorted Vegeta out of the room.

As soon as they were outside the door, Vegeta turned to the doctor and lifted him up by his throat, "I told you before, if anything happened to her, this hospital would not remain standing!" He already knew what had happened, but did not want to believe it. Vegeta threw the doctor back on the ground and watched as he scrambled back into the room, closing the door.

Trunks ran up to Vegeta, "No Tousan! Tell me it's not true! This can't be happening!"

"She just…fell limp right there! I can't believe it.", Vegeta said with his fist clenched by his side, attempting to remain calm.

Trunks slowly turned his head to face the ICU room. He clenched his fist also and gritted his teeth in fear while, in the back of his mind, knowing he had just lost his mother.

Inside ICU, the doctors tried desperately to revive Bulma, but there was no response. The heart monitor emitted a continuous beep. Everyone looked up from Bulma and glanced at the others, no one said anything for a moment. The one question that everyone wondered at that time was: who was going to tell him?

"I'll do it.", one doctor bravely volunteered as he pulled off the mask that covered his nose and mouth. He turned around and slowly walked out the room, closing the door behind him.

Vegeta ran over with a threatening glint in his eye. "Well??? She's all right isn't she?! Tell me!!"

Trunks went over to calm down his father by putting his hand on his shoulder. "Tousan, you've got to calm down...your power level is too high..."

The doctor, who was too scared to speak clearly, looked over at Trunks, "P…p...power level??" He was trying to keep a safe distance between Vegeta and himself.

Trunks looked straight into his father's eyes, "Dad...calm down before you do something drastic.", he said, with a serious tone to his voice.

Vegeta lowered his fists and glared at the doctor, "Tell me what happened."

"We...couldn't do anything for her. I am sorry, sir. She's...gone."

"G...gone?", he thought to himself. Vegeta stared in front of him, not believing that he had heard it from someone else. He was lost in thought, his fists clenched tighter by his side and his mouth dropped open slightly.

Trunks stared at the floor, his face twitching in anger and disbelief. "No…this can't be…" In the back of his mind, he feared what his father would do and prepared for the worst while closing his eyes.

Vegeta's anger boiled and finally rose to the surface as he let out an infuriated yell. He transformed into a Super Saiyan without having any control of his increasing power.

The doctor yelped and jumped back, terrified at what he was witnessing.

Trunks snapped his head up and turned to face Vegeta, "Dad! Listen to me! You need to calm down!" He stood a short distance away from him, yet still looked into his eyes. "I know mom meant a lot, but we can get her back.... you know that...", Suddenly, Trunks felt Vegeta's power severely enhance and he took a step back, but continued to talk to his father. "Tousan! Don't! You have to stop!" He tried to get his father's attention, but failed, due to the rumbling of the hospital from Vegeta's enormous power. "Dad!! You have got to stop!!", he yelled again.

The doctors and nurses panicked as they all watched Vegeta through the window. Various equipment began to fall off shelves and tables, some breaking as they hit the floor.

Trunks watched Vegeta, not knowing exactly what to do. He had learned from past experiences that once Vegeta lost his temper, it had drastic results. He knew what was fixing to happen, but there was little he could do now.

Blinded by pure rage, Vegeta continued to increase his power level. The place started breaking apart little by little.

"It feels like a tremendous earthquake!", a woman exclaimed while covering her head protectively.

Without any further hesitation, Trunks immediately turned Super Saiyan as well, and rushed to get the people off the floor as fast as he could. "Go!! Get out of here quickly!!!", he directed.

Everyone ran out as fast as they could, as the place started crumbling more and more.

Trunks flew through the hallway and made sure that everyone had gotten out safely. Once he saw that the floor had been entirely evacuated, he flew outside and went over by a tree to wait.

Vegeta let out a final yell of rage and jetted out of the hospital, rocketing far away in the blink of an eye until all that could be seen of him was a twinkle in the night sky.

Trunks saw him and started to follow, but stopped himself in mid-step, knowing that he would probably want to be alone right now.
