Author's note: Hope you
people like this. Please don't hate me for making Marron die here. I'm not sure
if I want to bring her back to life again. Hmm, here's a question for you:
would you like a sad ending or a happy ending? Tell me through your reviews okay?
Thanks. ~nightgale.
Chapter 9:
Oh boy, Goten thought, watching Trunks is definitely more
entertaining than watching any soap operas. He stared at his lovesick best
friend as he did an awkward tackle and pushed Marron to the ground. He suddenly
felt a wave of envy. I wonder how it feels to be so in love, he
wondered. I wish I could love someone so much.
"Trunks hold on! Don't let
go of her! I'm coming!"
Trunks heard Gohan yelling
at him. He ignored him and grabbed on to Marron as she slowly stood up. She
tried to struggle away from him but he held on tight, wrapping his arms around
her waist.
"Let me go!" she gasped
and delivered a hard kick that landed right on his shin.
He bit his lips to keep
from yelling out in pain and held on, tightly. "Never. I'll never let go of
you, Marron."
"Stop calling me that, are
you stupid or what?" she elbowed him hard in the ribs.
He felt a shoot of pain
but still refused to let go. "I love you Marron," he whispered in her ear. He
could feel her stiffen in his arms. Bingo! He knew that he had struck a
nerve.
"What?" she stammered and
she started trembling. "Trunks?" she whispered, no longer struggling out of his
touch. She turned and stared at him. He saw that her eyes had turned back to
their icy blue.
"Stop #28!" A rough voice called out.
Trunks looked up. There,
floating above them was an old man and a young girl. "What the…Who's #28?"
"Oh shit!" he heard his
father curse from behind him "He's back!"
He? What's he?
Piccolo answered his
question. "Dr. Gero! What's he doing back here?"
Dr. Gero? Hmm, I've
heard about him before. I think he came around the time when I was born. He was
supposedly to be died though. And who's that girl?
"Nice to see all of you
again." The old man spoke up. "I've escaped from hell in an attempt to find Son
Goku and kill him! But since he's died then I figured I would kill all of his
family," The old man grinned and held up a remote. "#28! Don't listen to that
purple haired boy!" He pressed a button. "Use your full powers and destroy
him!" He pointed to Gohan. Then he frowned and looked over at Goten. "Who's
that?"
Goten looked confused.
"Are you talking to me? My name is Son Goten!"
"Son Goten? Then you are
related to Son Goku! #28, kill him too!"
Trunks could see that
Marron's eyes were turning red again. He had to do something and fast. He
cupped her face with his hands and leaned towards her. He kissed her. It was a
slow and passionate kiss. After they broke apart, he knew that she was back to
normal again. He could feel it, like she was a part of him and he knew exactly
what was going on in her mind.
Marron stood there,
panting from the kiss. She remembered now, everything that had happened. She
started shivering and Trunks put his arms around her securely and pulled her to
him. She buried her face into his shirt and started crying. It started off with
small whimpers and slowly turned into heart breaking sobs. She cried and cried;
letting out the loneliness and sadness she had felt all of these years. He
simple held her and gently rocked her back and forth.
She left her head and
starred into his clear blue eyes but she noticed something very strange behind
him. It was very bright and was traveling at a tremendously high speed. It was
a huge power blast and it is aiming straight towards Trunks!
She let out a small scream
and did the only thing that came to her mind right then. She pushed Trunks away
from her with all her might. She could feel the blast making contact with her
body and she slipped away into unconsciousness.
Trunks felt a sharp pain
on his side as he landed on the ground. "What the," he muttered as he scrambled
to his feet. "Why did she push me away?" he looked up and felt his brain froze.
This is not happening, his mind screamed as he watched, helpless as the
gigantic power blast hit Marron. It was like watching a movie, expect this was
real. He could feel his heart shatter into a million pieces.
"Marron!" he screamed as
he saw her limp body flying through the air. He jumped up and caught her in his
arms. "Marron? Marron? Say something woman!" Her face was filled with cuts and
bruises and a trail of blood ran down her chin. The blast had gone through her
stomach and had left a huge hole. Her blood was gushing out of the wound.
"Trunks?" she struggled to
push the words out of her mouth. "I … love … you, Trunks. Thank you," she
started coughing up blood. "Thank you for everything." Then her eyes closed, a
faint smile appeared on her lips, and he knew that she was died.
