DISCLAIMER:
I don't own DBZ or any of the characters. Seizon-sha, Kashikoi, Zon Keene, Princess Jun, Atira Ikun, and Ja-Aku are characters of my own creation and so please don't use them with out permission. But if you really want to you can E-mail me and tell me who and what for at BusterSword16@Yahoo.com , and I'll probably let you. I just do that so that I don't lose track of where they all are in what stories (that and I'd love to see the end result of whatever you wonderful readers do with the guys here!), and I love reading new and interesting things. Actually, it'd be cool if someone would do the past of Kashikoi, who was a Saiyajin elder when Vegeta was just a little kid and was his teacher, and the first to inform him that he wasn't a Legendary Saiyajin, which appears only once per generation (personal belief: Goku was that generations, and Trunks is this one's.). Oh, all I own is a notebook and a Japanese dictionary (and a bedside T.V. that get's about twenty channels on it (my favorites are 10 -on which I watch Digimon Zero Two- and 22 -on which I watch the X-Files-)), and so if you sue me thats all you'll get. Well, not the T.V., 'cuz it's my aunt's and I'm just borrowing it.
So here we go! Warnings are the same.
This is Worlds Apart Part Nine!
NOTE: Thanks to Ms. Kaycee Ronin, who's fan-fic Far Apart, which I read to gear myself up for the Vegeta vs. Mirai Trunks scene, was absolutely awesome for inspiration on how to go about that scene in particular, and also one scene in Part One, but that's another 'story'. Keep up the good work, Kaycee! I love the fic so far!
Worlds Apart
Chapter Seventeen
Mirai Trunks approached his father, his eyes holding some hidden emotion that Vegeta couldn't decifer.
"Father.." Trunks said softly, then catching himself and saying in a harder voice, "Fight me now! No stops!"
Vegeta paused, staring at his future-son, his expression going from casual to surprised in two seconds flat as the meaning of the proposition became clear to him.
"I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into, boy." Vegeta said, his tone making it clear that he thought he would win easily.
"You heard me, Father." Trunks told him, "No stops. Let's go."
"Alright, boy, if that's what you want." Vegeta said, shifting into a fighting position.
They stood on a grassy field above a steep cliff near some high mountains.
Trunks moved into his regular fighting pose, shifting quickly from regular to Super Saiyan.
Vegeta did likewise.
Suddenly, Trunks jumped backwards, not doing the usual punches and kicks that more often than not began a fight.
Instead, he jumped back, and, hovering in the still air, fired a high-power Ki beam at Vegeta.
Vegeta realized what the emotions Trunks had not been acting on: Regret, and reluctance. Vegeta knew that someone had told the boy to do this. Trunks would not fight Vegeta willingly, on his own.
Vegeta knew he had to stop it, then.
"Takusan no Kuragari Soushin suru!" Vegeta cried, his technique biting into Trunks' skin, and though it hurt, Trunks blocked it out, making himself continue.
Vegeta's shoulder stung from the beam Trunks had thrown at him.
Ignoring it, Vegeta continued the attack, the tiny black-purple beams ripping into the boy's skin like hundreds of tiny razors.
Ceasing his fire, Vegeta watched to see what the boy would do next.
"Jigoku Kaji!!" Mirai Trunks yelled, his hands in front of him, sending a bright red beam flying into his father.
Vegeta moved out of the way, but wasn't quite fast enough, and was caught on the shoulder, searing it with a red-hot pain that felt like he was being branded with hot iron.
"Why are you doing this, boy?" Vegeta asked through clenched teeth.
"Because I have to." Trunks replied, his hand stretching out in front of him.
Vegeta saw that the boy was about to attack, and raised his palms out in front of him.
"Kiiro no Kirinuki Soushin suru!" Vegeta cried, sending hundreds of small yellow beams, slightly larger than the ones of the Takusan no Kuragari Soushin suru attack's black ones, sending them into Trunks, causing him to cry out in pain as the small beams cut into his very being.
That was the reason behind the Kiiro no Kirinuki Soushin suru, a last-ditch technique that not only cut apart the victim's body, but cut into their very heart and soul.
Vegeta's heart wrenched for no reason he could find, as he watched his son's body being torn apart by the yellow beams, the boy screaming wide-eyed as his heart and soul, his being, and his entire body, was torn apart by the beams.
The man watched the boy, and stopped the attack.
The boy fell to the ground, but then stood up again.
Weakly, the boy stood unsteadily on his feet, his aura growing more powerful and his power-level rising as he went to Super Saiyan level 2, and then something happened.
Seeing Vegeta standing there, his palms still outstretched from the attack, made Trunks very angry.
Suddenly, Vegeta felt a bright flare of power coming from the boy, the aura created by the boy's power growing so bright that in the night sky it might be mistaken for a star.
When the initial glow faded back to a level where Vegeta could see through it, he saw that Trunks' general appearance had changed.
The boy's hair, golden, now reached a little farther than his mid-back, and his features were much more pronounced.
"What?!" Vegeta was amazed. The boy in front of him grinned maliciously.
"Super Saiyan level 3." Mirai Trunks said, the smile vanishing.
Vegeta raised his power to Super Saiyan level 4, to meet the challenge.
"Enough play-time!" Vegeta stretched his hands out again, "Takusan no Kuragari Soushin suru!!!"
Trunks' countered.
"Rei Soushin suru!" The boy cried, sending a beam from one outstretched palm, to meet Vegeta's beams.
The pale-lavender beam peirced through the black-purple beams, slamming into Vegeta with what appeared the force of a thousand beams.
Holding his shoulder, Vegeta cursed at the boy, a hateful swear in the language of the Saiyans.
Trunks appeared tired out from the beam, gasping for air as he stood suspended in the air.
Suddenly Vegeta saw the opening, and stretched his hands out towards the boy, palms outward.
Trunks looked at his father in realization and horror.
"Kiiro no Kirinuki Soushin suru!" Vegeta yelled, sending again the spirit-and-body cutting beams at his son.
Before they hit him, Trunks stared at his father, and Vegeta saw pure terror in the boy's eyes.
Mirai Trunks felt sure that he was going to die. But he didn't want to die again.
"No... Not again!" Trunks cried as the beams began their merciless assault on him.
Worlds Apart
Chapter Eighteen
The boy fell to the ground, the yellow beams still cutting into him, tearing him apart even as he fell.
Vegeta looked down, watching the boy, and stopped the attack.
The boy was very still, with the exception of his breathing.
If Vegeta couldn't sense the boy's Ki signal, he would have thought him dead.
The boy coughed, some blood coming from the corner of his mouth as he lay in the crater that his own body had created near the edge of the cliff.
"The cliff!" Vegeta cried hoarsly as he saw the ledge the boy had landed on crack and fall away, over the cliffside.
The cliff, Vegeta knew, was about nine hundred miles high, carved deep into the Earth.
Not even a Saiyajin could survive the fall.
Vegeta dove off of the cliff, flying downwards in an attempt to stop the boy from dying.
Finally Vegeta caught up to the boy, catching him in his arms.
Cradling the boy in his arms, Vegeta flew back to the grassy plain, leaning the boy on a great tree, in a sitting position.
The boy moaned softly, his eyes fluttering open slowly.
Vegeta was horrified by what he saw.
Trunks looked at Vegeta, his eyes showing a terrible blankness that made Vegeta, for perhaps the first time in his life, afraid.
He was afraid of the truth of what had happened, and afraid to know whether or not the boy even knew who he was.
Trunks blinked once, and went back into unconsciousness.
Rising, Vegeta felt hot tears on his cheeks, blurring his vision.
"I won't lose him again." He told himself, his voice steady, despite the fact that his heart felt as though it was being ripped apart from inside.
The boy moaned again, and Vegeta tried not to hear the pitiful sound, which reminded him somewhat of a wounded dog.
Then the man reminded himself that the boy who lay there was no enemy of his, no foe to be left to die.
The boy who lay leaned on the tree was not that, he was his own son.
Meanwhile, in the atmosphere of the Earth...
Ja-Aku spoke telepathically with his servant, Seizon-sha.
"Is it done?" Ja-Aku asked, his voice low and rumbling.
"Yes, Master. The boy lays broken. And the man will not fight yet, I don't believe." Seizon-sha told her master.
"Good, good. Seizon-sha?" He asked.
"Yes, Sire?" She asked him, her eyes shining with hope of a better and harder assignment than the one she had been on.
"Do be sure to destroy that damned boy and his baka father, hm?" Ja-Aku told her, one hand rising to sweep a few stray strands of his platinum hair off of his forehead.
"I shall not fail you, Master." She said, signing off.
Ja-Aku sighed, one hand palm-up to the ceiling dramatically.
"It's so hard to find good help these days." He said in a drawn-out tone.
Meanwhile on Earth...
The last stages of training were taking place, and high on a mountaintop, a strange man sat meditating, cross-legged, on a snow-covered peak, his eyes closed in concentration.
His name was Piccolo.
His eyes flickered open as he felt a sudden burst of power, then a fade, eventually lessening to the extent that Piccolo himself, accomplished as he was at reading power-levels, could hardly sense it.
Suddenly there was another surge of power, unfamiliar and more intense than anything he had ever seen before.
And this power had a name:
Ja-Aku.

Konnichiwa minna-san! Bulma here! Next time on Dragon Ball Z Worlds Apart, it looks like Mirai Trunks' memory has been lost! Can Vegeta-chan bring him back to normal?! And Ja-Aku's arriving in only a week! Can we even hope to be well enough prepared to meet him? And what is Piccolo planning to do? Gohan-chan, you might not want to do that! Ack! Vegeta-san, what do you think you're doing with Mirai Trunks, anyway?!
I'll see you next time on Dragon Ball Z Worlds Apart!
