Give Me A Reason Why

Chapter 2-Fading Into Eternal Darkness

The throbbing pain intensified inside his mind, almost throwing him off course. He kept telling himself that he had to do this, it had to be this way. He wanted the pain to end and he wasn't going to wait to let it end naturally. Gently he landed next to a large lake which was out in the middle of nowhere. He felt scared, but the prospect of ending the pain over came his fear and seemed like a great relief. Or was this just an attempt to run away from his problems which of course never helped. He didn't care if he was running or not, he was going to do anything and everything to end the pain here and now! That was the only thing that existed in his mind now. He was totally focused on the task at hand. Slowly, as if he were enjoying hearing it's sound, he pulled his sword from it's case. It glinted bright silver in the sun, unknowingly becoming a bad omen for what was about to happen…

"Gohan, I'm getting a really bad feeling about this!" Trunks said nervously.

"Yeah Trunks, I'm feeling the same." Gohan replied.

Suddenly, Gohan and Trunks stopped and floated in the air. They were breathing hard, both breaking out in an ice cold sweat.

"Gohan, did you feel that?" Trunks asked, his voice shaking as much as his body.

"Yeah, a Ki not far from here just plummeted to almost zero." Gohan replied, shaking also. "I have no doubt that it's who we think it is."

"We've gotta find him and fast! But how? By the time we find him it'll be too late!" Trunks said, tears almost falling from his eyes.

Young Trunks had grown quite an attachment for his future self, seeing him more like a brother rather than a friend since he did wish for a brother. Gohan looked at Trunks and placed his hand on the young boy's shoulder.

"Don't worry Trunks, we'll find him." Gohan said reassuringly. "We just have to focus on his Ki, or what's left of it and…there! I've got a fix! He's roughly just east of here."

"Then let's go!" Trunks said.

It took almost five minutes for Gohan and Trunks to reach the area that Mirai Trunks was in.

"Okay Trunks, we'll split up and look for Mirai Trunks okay?" Gohan said.

"Okay Gohan." Trunks replied.

Both fighters went in opposite directions across either side of the lake in search of the future warrior.

"Mirai Trunks? Hey dude, where are you?" Trunks called, jumping across large rocks while trying not to fall in the shallow edge of the water at the same time. "Hey come on buddy, enough with the joking around already and…"

Trunks stopped dead in his tracks when he saw something, something glistening in the shallow water. As fast as he could, Trunks jumped to the water's edge and grabbed the shining object. Trunks' air caught in his throat. It was Mirai Trunks' sword. Yet that didn't scare Trunks the most. What scared Trunks the most was the thick red substance on the blade end. Trunks looked down where the blood was dripping down and saw a tiny trickle trail of blood in the water. Trunks followed the trail. Suddenly, it ended abruptly in the water. Trunks was staring confused for a few seconds until he realised something else was in the water.

"Oh god no." Trunks yelled.

Trunks then jumped straight into the shallow water. He then went under the water and quickly broke the surface again with Mirai Trunks' extremely pale and lifeless form in his small arms.

"GOOOOOOHAAAAAAN!!!!" Trunks cried out.

Gohan was there in a flash and helped Trunks get his future self out from the freezing lake.

"Oh god Gohan, he's cut his wrists!" Trunks cried, holding up one of Mirai Trunks' hands while glancing at the slash marks as blood oozing from the large and very deep wounds.

"He's barely got any Ki left!" Gohan muttered fiercely under his breath. "Trunks, we have to get Mirai Trunks to my place and get some senzu beans!"

Trunks nodded and grabbed Mirai Trunks' upper part of his body as Gohan grabbed his legs. Both shot into the air and headed towards Gohan's place, praying against all odds that somehow they would make it in time.
