Chapter 8 - Break Down
Part C
"So are you going to be ok now, Trunks?", Goten asked.
Trunks stood up and looked at him. "Hai, I'll be fine."
Goten stood up as well. "If you want to come back to my house, you can…or would you rather go home?"
Trunks looked northeast, in the direction of Capsule Corporation. "I think it would be best if I went home.", then turned back to face Goten, "Arigatou, Goten. You're a true friend." He smiled slightly before shooting off towards his house.
Goten smiled and waved to him, then shot off in the opposite direction, heading for home.
As Trunks flew through the dim sky, now becoming daybreak, he took his time as he tried to sort out the recent tragedy that had occurred. He still couldn't believe it. After all, he was very close to his kaasan; she had really been the only one that had shown any true love towards him in his life. "She didn't deserve that!", he thought out loud. "Why Kaasan?! Why did you have to die?", Trunks continued as his anger grew and tears stared to swell in his eyes. He growled in frustration and shot forward with a burst of energy.
Vegeta walked out of the bedroom and went down the hall, trying to think of how he'd break this to his daughter. He got to Bra's closed bedroom door and sighed. After closing his eyes momentarily, he opened the door slightly and stepped inside. "Bra?" He noticed her on the other side of her bed, looking out the window.
Bra spun around at hearing her father's voice. "Daddy!!", she exclaimed with a smile.
He walked further into the room and sat down on the bed. "Listen, I need to talk to you."
Bra scooted over closer to her father. "What about?"
"Uh…it's about your kaasan.", Vegeta started to explain.
"Hey yeah…where is Mommy anyway?"
He struggled for words and took in a deep breath. "Your mother...she won't be here for a while."
Bra cocked her head slightly in curiosity. "Where did she go?"
He continued to stare at the floor while Bra looked at him, and then opened his mouth to speak, yet still didn't know exactly what to say. "Well…", he began, thinking to himself, "How is she going to take this? What should I do? Just say 'Bra, you're mother is dead.'? How can you just say that to a 5 year-old girl??" He didn't look at her as he continued to speak, "Ok, Bra. I know this is going to be hard, but you've got to be strong, ok?", he paused for a moment before continuing, "Your kaasan is.....," Vegeta closed his eyes and spoke in a soft tone, "she's dead, Bra. Mommy is gone."
She stared blankly at her father. "D…Dead? Mommy?"
Vegeta nodded silently.
Bra was at a lost for words; the only thing she could find to do was cry.
He looked over at her. "Bra, it's all right." He wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "She won't be gone forever."
Bra asked through sobs, "But when will I get to see her again?"
"You can see her soon, Bra. We're going to get her back as soon as we can."
Bra jerked out from under Vegeta's arm. "I don't want to wait! I want to see her now!!" She jumped off the bed and stood in front of her father. She clenched her tiny fists while hot tears of anger streamed down her face.
Vegeta watched his daughter in slight surprise from her reaction. "Bra calm down. Everything is going to be fine. Don't worry.", he reached his hand out to her.
Bra stepped back to avoid his touch. "No! Leave me alone! I want to see Mommy!!" She tightened her fists and shut her eyes tightly, crying harder.
Vegeta directed his attention to Bra's ki as he suddenly felt it begin to drastically increase. "Bra? Bra! You have to calm down, you're going to hurt yourself!"
Bra didn't listen to him and continued to increase her ki, not fully being able to control it at her young age.
Vegeta was getting a little worried because he knew that she was far too young, and not under very good circumstances, to be raising her ki level this high and so quickly.
Bra began to yell as she felt her power increase.
Vegeta sat in astonishment that his 5 year-old daughter was powering up so high.
Suddenly, her hair flashed gold before returning to its normal blue color again.
Vegeta's eyes widened as he blinked a few times and continued to stare at her. "Did…did I imagine that?"
Bra still didn't pay any attention. She only continued to yell in blind rage. Then something inside her snapped as her hair turned gold and her eyes shot open revealing them to be green. The golden aura around her expanded and intensified.
Vegeta's mouth fell open slightly as he gazed at his daughter, who had now transformed into a Super Saiyan.
After a few seconds, Bra suddenly powered down. She was shaking a little on her feet, trying to stay standing.
"Bra? Bra it's ok." He reached over and put his hand on her shoulder.
Bra jerked away from him, forcefully. "DON'T TOUCH ME!! IT'S NOT OK!! KAASAN IS GONE!!!" She started crying uncontrollably, then ran out of her room as fast as she could, leaving Vegeta behind.
Vegeta sat in silence for a moment, still in shock from witnessing his young daughter transform into a Super Saiyan. He then got up and walked quickly after her. "Bra! Bra come back here!" He got to the stairs just as Bra ran out the front door in a hysterical condition. "Bra!! I said get back here!!!"
Bra had gotten a little way from the house by now. She wished so badly that she could fly. She wanted to run away from everything and everyone.
Once Vegeta had finally reached the front door, he could see Bra in the distance; just then, he looked up and saw a small glint in the sky.
Trunks sped up slightly as he came in view of his house. He then spotted Bra running away. "Nani?", he landed a few feet in front of her, cutting her off. "Bra! What are you doing?"
Bra looked up at Trunks, with her tear-filled eyes full of rage. She immediately turned and ran at an angle to his right. "Leave me alone!!"
On instinct, he turned around and grabbed her by the arm, forcing her to stop.
She shrieked, "NOO!! LET GO!!", she twisted around and began beating on his arm, attempting to free herself.
Trunks tried to calm his sister down and keep her at bay. "Bra! Calm down! It's ok..."
Bra cried, "It's not ok!! Mommy's dead!! She's gone!!!"
Trunks looked down at Bra with an indication of hurt on his face. He tried to think of something to say to comfort her, but words failed him. Then he pulled Bra closer to him and knelt down to be at eye level with her. "Come here Bra...don't worry, I'm sorry."
She looked up at him with glistening eyes and fell into his arms, crying uncontrollably. "Okaasan!!"
"I know Bra...we'll get her back, please don't worry." He began rubbing her back softly trying not to cry in front of her, yet tears began to sting his eyes as well.
Vegeta, who had been watching from the doorway, went over to them.
Trunks looked up and saw his father coming over. Then he looked back down at Bra, who was buried in his shirt, crying.
Once Vegeta got to them, he knelt down and pulled Bra over to him. "Bra, everything will be fine. Trust me, ok?", he asked calmly with a look of hope in his eyes.
"Come on. Let's go back inside.", Vegeta said as he picked her up.
She curled up in his arms and quieted down.
He started walking back to the house as he looked down at his daughter sympathetically. After going inside, Vegeta headed for the stairs, then carried Bra to her room.
While Vegeta took Bra upstairs, Trunks went over and sat on the couch with his head propped on his fists, and stared out the window in thought.
Vegeta pulled back the covers on her bed and laid her down gently. She looked up at him, half asleep already, "I'm sorry...Tousan."
As he pulled the covers up around her neck, tucking her in, he replied, "It's all right, Princess. Just go to sleep now. You'll feel better when you wake up." He handed her the soft teddy bear that Bulma had given her.
Bra grabbed it quickly and curled up, falling asleep almost immediately.
Vegeta quietly walked out of the room while shutting the door softly behind him, letting out a sigh. He walked downstairs and went over, sitting in a chair by the couch, where Trunks was, then stared at the floor in silence.
Trunks looked up at Vegeta, not sure of what to say or do.
Vegeta glanced up at Trunks as his expression hardened. "What?", he asked harshly.
Trunks quickly looked back down at the floor. "Nothing...", he said quietly.
Vegeta looked back at the floor as well, striving not to show his emotions.
