*Chapter 10*
.:: Freedom is Only a Dream ::.
"Let me go!" Rosemary shouted when the guards got to her door.
"Okay." One shrugged as they tossed her into the room.
"Why you!" Rosemary got up about to beat the guards up when they slammed the door in her face. She tried to break the door down, but it was impossible. Her father had made it of the same stuff the armour was made of--- times ten!
Rosemary paced back and forth angrily until she finally blew the doll house up with all her anger. She watched as the little monkey dolls went up in flames. All except two. The two her mother had given her. One was a girl, that her mother had kept from Vegeta-sei. The other a boy that her mother had made. Rosemary held them close to her heart as she wrapped herself in a blanket. She hated the world that she lived in. She hated what it had become. She didn't want to take it anymore. She was tired of all the good people she had lost and would soon lose, while the others she hated so lived amongst her.
Trunks was going to die tomorrow and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it.
"H'ya!" Collie jumped kicked a guard in the chest and slashed off the head of another with her bare hand. They had been fight for a while now. More guards came, but more sayians helped. Even so, the guards still had the other sayians out numbered somehow.
Jacko slid under one guy and kicked him in the butt, to the ground. He then flipped up in the air and shattered the guard's spine.
Vegeta was kicking ass and doing it fast. *BAM**BOOM* right in the kisser. Then, he met his match. This real buff guy named Spinach was said to have the power of ten sayians. He told Vegeta that, too.
"Is that a fact?" Vegeta smirked at the guy, "Well, you're going to have to be stronger then that to beat me!"
"Bring it on shorty!" Spinach provoked Vegeta and they started to fight.
Trunks saw a guy right behind Collie and shot him. At the same time she shot a guy behind him. They both turned around to see who the other had shot.
"Thanks." They said in unison.
Suddenly Sushi was heard screaming. Everyone stopped and turned to her. A guard had got her in a lock and had a sword to her throat.
"Now unless you want this pretty lil' angel to die," He started, "hand over the half-breed."
"Not a chance!" Collie yelled.
"Then I hope you like the colour of blood." The guard put the sword to Sushi's skin.
"Wait! Stop!" Trunks yelled, "I'll go. Just don't hurt her. Or any of them."
"Okay." The guard let Sushi go and Spinach grabbed Trunks. As they left with Trunks the guard said, "Kill them all."
"No!" Trunks tried to get free.
"Great." Jacko muttered as the guards approached, "Not only was all that fight in vain, but now we're all gonna die!"
"Shut up! Ain't nobody gonna die if we stick together!" Collie looked at him.
"Sure." Jacko shrugged.
"Sayians aren't quitters my boy, we shall fight together." A sayian put his hand on Jacko's shoulder.
Jacko turned around wide-eyed, "Pa-pa?"
Collie turned around, "Pa-pa!"
"Err… get them!" a guard yelled and the soldiers attacked.
One tried to get Sushi, but was pounded in the face by the hooded man from before.
"Father!" Sushi smiled with her hands clamped together.
The man turned and smiled, "Hi there angel."
"'Nough chit-chat! Let's kick some sayian ass!" A very vulgar sayian woman shrilled.
"Momma!" Collie and Jacko exclaimed together.
Spinach threw Trunks into the dungeon and Trunks grabbed onto the bars.
"You said you wouldn't hurt them!" Trunks yelled.
"You earthlings," The guard that captured Sushi chuckled, "Gullible till the bitter end."
The two sayians continued to chuckle as the left the dungeon.
"Err…" Trunks punched the bars and kicked a bucket in his cell that was supposed to be used as a toilet. He sat on the bed--- a wooden plank attached to the wall--- and rubbed his temples furiously. He had never wanted to go home so much in his life. He never wanted to hear his mother's nagging voice so much in his life! He never wanted to see his sister so much in his life! "I want to go home."
~ Where are Dorothy's ruby slippers when you need them? ~ He wondered.
*Knock*, *knock* Rosemary heard on her door. She peered out long enough to see Millie walk in with a large cart.
"Go away." Rosemary went back under her covers, "I don't want food."
"I'm afraid this is not food." Millie kept looking at the door nervously and whispered, "It's my brother."
"Well, you and your brother can take a hike. Sorry Millie, but I don't have the patience right now." Rosemary said from under her blanket.
"Please Rosemary, he has nowhere else to go! The king is after him!" Millie pleaded to Rosemary.
"One less sayian to worry about." Rosemary came from under the covers. Then she saw Millie's pleading face and innocent eyes. Rosemary sighed, "Fine. He can stay."
Millie jumped with joy and went under the cart, "She said you can stay!"
"Yes I heard her." Millie's brother replied getting out. That's odd, why did his voice sound so familiar…
"Tofu!" Rosemary exclaimed jumping on her bed, "Get out! I take it back! He's not staying here! He can rot in hell for all I care!"
"Rosemary, just hear me out." Tofu started.
"No!" Rosemary covered her ears childishly, "Go away!"
"Please, just listen to what I have to say." Tofu pleaded.
Rosemary wasn't going to until she saw Millie's face. So full of worry for her brother. "Fine, but make it fast."
"Thank you," Tofu nodded his head, "You see Rosemary, I wasn't always how you know me now. I hated your father at one point too."
"Why is that so hard for me to believe." Rosemary sat on her bed.
"But it's true!" Tofu took a step towards her, "I wanted nothing more but to kill him. Then he captured my little sister right after he killed my parents. Me and my brothers fought him, all of them died--- except me…"
Rosemary tried to see if Tofu was sincere or just telling more of his lies.
"He promised that he wouldn't hurt Millie if I worked as his right-hand man." Tofu looked at Rosemary, "I love my sister Rosemary. I would do anything for her! So, I took the job. Then the power went to my head and… I became the person you know. I had forgotten all about my sister and my life."
Rosemary looked down ashamed of herself and of Tofu.
"You can stay." She said under her breath. Then glared up at him, "Don't you dare try anything like you did before though!"
"Before?" Tofu asked as Millie looked at him.
"Yes, before. Try that again and forget about the king---- you'll have me to deal with!" Rosemary scowled.
"Yes, ma'am." Tofu bowed, "Thank you. I truly don't know what had happened to me at that moment."
"Save the bull for someone who cares, you're in." Rosemary went under her covers again.
*BANG* Collie dropped to the ground blue and wide-eyed with a hole through her stomach.
"Collie, no!" Both her parents cried out running to her.
Her father caught her and shut his eye with grief. Jacko dropped to his knees wide-eyed staring in disbelief.
"You bastards!!!" Collie's mom shouted blowing up ten soldiers and fighting ten more at the same time.
"No." Jacko mumbled as he watched Collie choke on blood as she lay dying in her father's arms. He grabbed his knees so tight his knuckles went white. Suddenly a surge of energy ran through him and his hair jetted up in a golden colour, "No!!!"
Vegeta stopped fighting for a moment to glance at Jacko.
"You killed my sister you bastards!!!" Jacko yelled. The sheer power of his charge blew many of the guards away, "Now you'll all die!"
~ What was that? ~ Trunks looked up wide-eyed. He went over and looked out the bar windows. In the not so far distance he could see Jacko as a super sayian beating up every sayian soldier in sight. ~ Go kid! But I wonder how he turned… ~ --- he stopped as he saw Collie dead--- ~ No. ~
Trunks slid to the floor, "No. This can't be happening… Not my friend… not Collie."
"Oh where, oh where could my little boy be? Oh where, oh where can he be? With his dumb father that has lost his tail. Oh where, oh where can he be?" Bulma sung looking out the window, "They probably forgot all about me. Where could they have gone? Oh well, just as long as they're not dead.
Suddenly the phone rang. Bulma picked it up and answered of coarse, but as she hung it up she had a brilliant idea. "That's it! The phone call Trunks made! If I can trace back where the call was from I'll be able to find my son!"
~ Bulma you're such a genius. ~ Bulma smiled to herself as she went to the lab.
"Can you sleep?" Rosemary asked Tofu.
"Not if you keep asking me that." Tofu snarled.
"You're that king's shoe- licker…" Rosemary started then saw Tofu's scowl, "Sorry, ex-right hand man. Where'd they take Trunks?"
"Trunks?"
"Yes the half-breed you fought." Rosemary looked at him from her bed.
He thought for a moment as he laid on the floor, "The dungeon I guess."
"Let's go." Rosemary jumped out of bed.
"You're locked in, remember? That's one of the reasons I'm staying here." Tofu got up.
"Just get ready to knock one of them out." Rosemary got on one side of the door. Then she yelled, "Get out of here TOFU!!!"
"What the hell!?!" Tofu exclaimed wide-eyed as two guards ran in. Rosemary knocked out one guard while Tofu got the other.
They pushed the guards in the room and locked the door.
"We make a good team." Tofu smirked at her.
"Yeah well, don't get used to it." Rosemary looked to see if anyone was coming and started running down the hall with Tofu, "I still hate you."
"Could've fooled me." Tofu grinned.
"The only reason I let you stay with me was because of Millie. I feel like I owe her something." Rosemary stopped. She looked down an intersecting hallway and started running again.
"Rosemary… Rosemary…" Tofu tried to stop her.
"Hey, you there!" A guard yelled at Rosemary.
She turned around wide-eyed.
"You're the princess!" The guard came over.
Tofu ran to Rosemary and held her.
"What the…" Rosemary looked at him, but before she could finish, Tofu pressed his decal and they disappeared.
Trunks drew little doodles in the dirt as he sat there miserable. Suddenly Tofu and Rosemary appeared in front of him. Right outside the bars of his cell.
"Don't touch me!" Rosemary pushed Tofu off.
"Save somebody and this is the thanks you get." Tofu crossed his arms.
"Rosemary!" Trunks ran to the bars.
"Hi…" Rosemary smiled then looked at Tofu, "Hey, wait a minute. If you could do that, why didn't you do it in the first place."
"I don't like him." Tofu scowled at Trunks.
"You're not my favorite person either, ya know." Trunks grinned.
"We'll get you out." Rosemary tried to break the bars.
"Chill out will you." Tofu knocked her off the bars.
"Hey!" Trunks and Rosemary shouted in unison.
Tofu ignored them and took off a set of keys that he hangs on his belt. He searched through them slowly and finally found the key that unlocks the cell. He slowly unlocked the cell and let Trunks out.
"Trunks!" Rosemary cheered hugging Trunks. Then she turned to Tofu--- who was cringing and gritting his teeth. "Thanks, Tofu."
"Yeah-uh thanks." Trunks added.
"Yes, let's just go back to the room already. I don't feel like dying here and now." Tofu barked coldly.
"Wait, Rosemary I… I have something to tell you…" Trunks held Rosemary.
~ He wouldn't! He wouldn't commit his love for here, right in front of me! …Would he? ~ Tofu stood there watching impatiently and nervous.
"Collie's… Collie's…."
"Collie's what Trunks?" Rosemary looked at him.
~ Should I tell her now? ~ Trunks wondered, "Never mind… it's nothing."
"Well, thank you for wasting our time. Can we go now." Tofu looked at Rosemary.
"Hmm…" Rosemary looked at Tofu, "Um… oh yeah."
Tofu went to the cellar door and transported to the other side.
"Why can't you just teleport us there?" Rosemary asked as Tofu tried to pick the lock.
"Too much dead weight." Tofu stared at Trunks as he broke the lock.
Trunks scowled at tofu as Rosemary and him came out. Tofu scowled right back.
"If you all will just stop staring at each other like idiot fools, we can actually get somewhere." Rosemary scolded.
"God, sis." Jacko held Collie's hand as she lay dead in the bed she had when she lived with her parents, "I never thought it'd end like this. I know I always said I hated ya and everything… but you're my hero. I mean when I said you fought lousy I meant it… but I looked up to you."
Jacko held in all his tears, very well too. But inside, he was crying an eternity.
"We have to bury her now, Jacko." Sushi popped in sadly.
"Uh-huh." Jacko nodded. He folded the sheets that Collie was laying on over her face. Sushi took one side and Jacko took the other. They both brought her outside.
Collie's mother, Ika, and Collie's father, Unagi, were there waiting. Along with Sushi's father, Koi. Vegeta was there as well, but that was it.
Jacko and Sushi laid Collie down as Ika and Unagi dug a hole for Collie's grave.
"I wouldn't dig it too deep." Vegeta crossed his arms. He acted like he knew something the others didn't--- and he did.
Ika and Unagi looked at each other, shrugged and stopped digging. They then gently placed Collie inside.
~ Goodbye sis. ~ Jacko thought as the sayians put dirt upon Collie's grave.
"So what are we going to do now?" Unagi looked at the others as they sat in his house eating. Nobody, except Vegeta, had an appetite.
"Well, we can't just pretend we haven't seen each other!" Sushi stood up.
Jacko was staring out the window, "We have a war."
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
Jacko slammed his fist on the table as he looked at him, "I WILL NOT have my sister's death be in vain!"
Ika grinned, proud of her son. "We will have a revolution, yes son?"
"Damn straight." Jacko nodded narrow-eyed, "I will kill every single one of those traitors that participated in my sister's death. Even if I have to kill the king myself!"
"Anyone coming?" Tofu asked as Rosemary peered out.
"Nope. Let's go!" Rosemary ran to her room and the two boys followed.
When they went in they found a big surprise.
"Well hello princess." The king turned around. The two guards that had been knock out before now each had a laser to Trunks and Tofu's throat.
Tofu reached for Rosemary's hand and at the same time the decal on his armour. The guard shot him right through the heart where the decal was and Tofu collapsed to the ground, dead.
"Tofu." Rosemary gasped and gritted her teeth as she looked at the guard.
"Don't do anything stupid, girl." The king came over to her. He looked at the guards, "Bring them to the dungeon--- if they so much as walk funny… kill them."
"Yes sir." The guard guarding Rosemary grinned.
"What about this one." The other guard kicked Tofu's dead carcass.
"Throw him in the mote, I guess… just don't bother me." The king left.
While one guard aimed at Trunks and Rosemary, the other threw Tofu out the hallway window into the water below. "There he goes."
"Now git." The other motioned with his laser.
Rosemary and Trunks turned with there hands up and reluctantly went down the hall.
~ Now do you see why I hate sayians? ~ Rosemary thought to Trunks, ~ If you haven't seen why yet you must be blind, deaf, and dead. ~
~ It's not the sayians you hate, it's just these idiots. ~ Trunks thought back after figuring out it was Rosemary's thoughts he heard.
~ Uh-huh. Whatever. ~ Rosemary sighed.
"Yahoo! I found it!" Bulma cheered as she looked at her results, "What? This isn't even charted land! This is in the middle of nowhere!"
Then Bulma remembered the phone call with Trunks, ~ Well, he did mention he was with a tribe or something. ~
"I know! Trunks found a new civilization!" Bulma smiled and went to her room to pack her stuff, "I knew that boy took after me! I mean, he's a genius! He couldn't have gotten that from Vegeta. No way!"
Suddenly, Bulma felt something in the bottom of her bag. She dug down and found the six dragonballs she had been collecting. She put it in her hiking bag so that Vegeta wouldn't steal them.
She was just about to take them out when she stopped. ~ Wait a minute! My women's intuition tells me… these just might come in handy. ~
Bulma finished packing, threw in a pack of capsules, and left to find her son… and oh yeah--- Vegeta.
"Get in there!" The guards tossed Rosemary and Trunks down into the dungeon, not even worrying about putting them into the cell.
"And just so you don't come out again…" One started.
"Spinach and Sarge'll keep you in your place." The other smirked and left with his companion as two other sayian guards came in. It was the two who had captured Trunks in the first place.
"So we meet again." Sarge (The one who had used Sushi to blackmail Trunks) said.
Trunks cringed and sat on the steps. He looked to see Rosemary feeling the wall. "What are you doing?"
"This wall. It's only shielded if someone was to attack from the inside." Rosemary read the information she had gotten on her scouter.
"What good'll that do us?" Trunks whispered going over to Rosemary.
"A lot good." She whispered back grinning at him. She sat down and closed her eyes, but then stopped and looked at Trunks. "Don't let them see me, okay? Or at least not my eyes. I look dead when I do this--- I think I am dead when I do this! We don't need them coming in here."
"Right." Trunks nodded and sat next to her on the wooden plank—bed.
Rosemary shut her eyes, ~ Voice! Voice! I need you to do that trick again! ~
No answer.
~ Where are you? I need you to help me! ~ Rosemary thought harder.
~ The power lies within you, you mustn't trust me to help you all the time. ~ The voice snapped out of the blue.
~ What? But I don't know how! ~
~ Of coarse you do! ~
~ Voice… Voice! ~ Rosemary cried out. She opened her eyes, then tried to concentrate again. Soon she felt light again and stood up. Sure enough, she opened her eyes and she was separated yet again. "I'm going now Trunks."
Trunks stood staring at the now lifeless Rosemary.
"Okay." He said under his breath as her spirit started to leave.
Rosemary stared at him bugged out, then left. She flew right through the wall. When outside she gathered energy and prepared to knock the wall down. Once she did this, Trunks and her would have to jet out of there, but she was ready. She hoped, Trunks was too.
Rosemary took a deep breath, then *BOOM* she knocked the wall down. As soon as she did that her spirit and body were once again joined.
"What's going on down there?!" Sarge yelled.
"Let's go." Trunks grabbed Rosemary's hand and they ran out the dungeon through the hole in the wall.
"They're getting away!" Spinach yelled.
"I can see that idiot! Don't just stand there! Help me catch them!" Sarge ran down the stairs right Trunks and Rosemary got out.
"They're right on our tales!" Rosemary shouted as Trunks and her ran from Spinach and Sarge.
"Well, when you can't run… fly." Trunks flew into the air with Rosemary and they took off.
"Err…" Sarge kicked the ground.
"What's wrong, Sarge?" Spinach asked.
"I… I don't know how to fly." Sarge growled.
Spinach started laughing and Sarge punched him in the gut.
"Stop laughing at me and get them!" Sarge ordered.
"Yes sir." Spinach saluted and flew after Trunks and Rosemary.
"Wuh!!!" Bulma tripped over a bucket of water and kicked it as she got up. "Now who would leave a bucket of water in the middle of nowhere?!"
Suddenly she saw tracks. One she could tell were a woman's, but the other two were weird, yet familiar. They were men's tracks.
"These must be Trunks and Vegeta's tracks!" Bulma concluded, "But who's this girl?"
Bulma continues to follow the tracks, in hopes of finding his husband and son.
***NOTES*** Well I couldn't just forget about Bulma...
.:: Freedom is Only a Dream ::.
"Let me go!" Rosemary shouted when the guards got to her door.
"Okay." One shrugged as they tossed her into the room.
"Why you!" Rosemary got up about to beat the guards up when they slammed the door in her face. She tried to break the door down, but it was impossible. Her father had made it of the same stuff the armour was made of--- times ten!

"Please, just listen to what I have to say." Tofu pleaded.
Rosemary wasn't going to until she saw Millie's face. So full of worry for her brother. "Fine, but make it fast."
"Thank you," Tofu nodded his head, "You see Rosemary, I wasn't always how you know me now. I hated your father at one point too."
"Why is that so hard for me to believe." Rosemary sat on her bed.

~ He wouldn't! He wouldn't commit his love for here, right in front of me! …Would he? ~ Tofu stood there watching impatiently and nervous.
"Collie's… Collie's…."
"Collie's what Trunks?" Rosemary looked at him.
~ Should I tell her now? ~ Trunks wondered, "Never mind… it's nothing."
"Well, thank you for wasting our time. Can we go now." Tofu looked at Rosemary.
"Hmm…" Rosemary looked at Tofu, "Um… oh yeah."
Tofu went to the cellar door and transported to the other side.
"Why can't you just teleport us there?" Rosemary asked as Tofu tried to pick the lock.
"Too much dead weight." Tofu stared at Trunks as he broke the lock.
Trunks scowled at tofu as Rosemary and him came out. Tofu scowled right back.
"If you all will just stop staring at each other like idiot fools, we can actually get somewhere." Rosemary scolded.
"God, sis." Jacko held Collie's hand as she lay dead in the bed she had when she lived with her parents, "I never thought it'd end like this. I know I always said I hated ya and everything… but you're my hero. I mean when I said you fought lousy I meant it… but I looked up to you."
Jacko held in all his tears, very well too. But inside, he was crying an eternity.
"We have to bury her now, Jacko." Sushi popped in sadly.
"Uh-huh." Jacko nodded. He folded the sheets that Collie was laying on over her face. Sushi took one side and Jacko took the other. They both brought her outside.
Collie's mother, Ika, and Collie's father, Unagi, were there waiting. Along with Sushi's father, Koi. Vegeta was there as well, but that was it.
Jacko and Sushi laid Collie down as Ika and Unagi dug a hole for Collie's grave.
"I wouldn't dig it too deep." Vegeta crossed his arms. He acted like he knew something the others didn't--- and he did.
Ika and Unagi looked at each other, shrugged and stopped digging. They then gently placed Collie inside.
~ Goodbye sis. ~ Jacko thought as the sayians put dirt upon Collie's grave.
"So what are we going to do now?" Unagi looked at the others as they sat in his house eating. Nobody, except Vegeta, had an appetite.
"Well, we can't just pretend we haven't seen each other!" Sushi stood up.
Jacko was staring out the window, "We have a war."
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
Jacko slammed his fist on the table as he looked at him, "I WILL NOT have my sister's death be in vain!"
Ika grinned, proud of her son. "We will have a revolution, yes son?"
"Damn straight." Jacko nodded narrow-eyed, "I will kill every single one of those traitors that participated in my sister's death. Even if I have to kill the king myself!"
"Anyone coming?" Tofu asked as Rosemary peered out.
"Nope. Let's go!" Rosemary ran to her room and the two boys followed.
When they went in they found a big surprise.
"Well hello princess." The king turned around. The two guards that had been knock out before now each had a laser to Trunks and Tofu's throat.
Tofu reached for Rosemary's hand and at the same time the decal on his armour. The guard shot him right through the heart where the decal was and Tofu collapsed to the ground, dead.
"Tofu." Rosemary gasped and gritted her teeth as she looked at the guard.
"Don't do anything stupid, girl." The king came over to her. He looked at the guards, "Bring them to the dungeon--- if they so much as walk funny… kill them."
"Yes sir." The guard guarding Rosemary grinned.
"What about this one." The other guard kicked Tofu's dead carcass.
"Throw him in the mote, I guess… just don't bother me." The king left.
While one guard aimed at Trunks and Rosemary, the other threw Tofu out the hallway window into the water below. "There he goes."
"Now git." The other motioned with his laser.
Rosemary and Trunks turned with there hands up and reluctantly went down the hall.
~ Now do you see why I hate sayians? ~ Rosemary thought to Trunks, ~ If you haven't seen why yet you must be blind, deaf, and dead. ~
~ It's not the sayians you hate, it's just these idiots. ~ Trunks thought back after figuring out it was Rosemary's thoughts he heard.
~ Uh-huh. Whatever. ~ Rosemary sighed.
"Yahoo! I found it!" Bulma cheered as she looked at her results, "What? This isn't even charted land! This is in the middle of nowhere!"
Then Bulma remembered the phone call with Trunks, ~ Well, he did mention he was with a tribe or something. ~
"I know! Trunks found a new civilization!" Bulma smiled and went to her room to pack her stuff, "I knew that boy took after me! I mean, he's a genius! He couldn't have gotten that from Vegeta. No way!"
Suddenly, Bulma felt something in the bottom of her bag. She dug down and found the six dragonballs she had been collecting. She put it in her hiking bag so that Vegeta wouldn't steal them.
She was just about to take them out when she stopped. ~ Wait a minute! My women's intuition tells me… these just might come in handy. ~
Bulma finished packing, threw in a pack of capsules, and left to find her son… and oh yeah--- Vegeta.
"Get in there!" The guards tossed Rosemary and Trunks down into the dungeon, not even worrying about putting them into the cell.
"And just so you don't come out again…" One started.
"Spinach and Sarge'll keep you in your place." The other smirked and left with his companion as two other sayian guards came in. It was the two who had captured Trunks in the first place.
"So we meet again." Sarge (The one who had used Sushi to blackmail Trunks) said.
Trunks cringed and sat on the steps. He looked to see Rosemary feeling the wall. "What are you doing?"
"This wall. It's only shielded if someone was to attack from the inside." Rosemary read the information she had gotten on her scouter.
"What good'll that do us?" Trunks whispered going over to Rosemary.
"A lot good." She whispered back grinning at him. She sat down and closed her eyes, but then stopped and looked at Trunks. "Don't let them see me, okay? Or at least not my eyes. I look dead when I do this--- I think I am dead when I do this! We don't need them coming in here."
"Right." Trunks nodded and sat next to her on the wooden plank—bed.
Rosemary shut her eyes, ~ Voice! Voice! I need you to do that trick again! ~
No answer.
~ Where are you? I need you to help me! ~ Rosemary thought harder.
~ The power lies within you, you mustn't trust me to help you all the time. ~ The voice snapped out of the blue.
~ What? But I don't know how! ~
~ Of coarse you do! ~
~ Voice… Voice! ~ Rosemary cried out. She opened her eyes, then tried to concentrate again. Soon she felt light again and stood up. Sure enough, she opened her eyes and she was separated yet again. "I'm going now Trunks."
Trunks stood staring at the now lifeless Rosemary.
"Okay." He said under his breath as her spirit started to leave.
Rosemary stared at him bugged out, then left. She flew right through the wall. When outside she gathered energy and prepared to knock the wall down. Once she did this, Trunks and her would have to jet out of there, but she was ready. She hoped, Trunks was too.
Rosemary took a deep breath, then *BOOM* she knocked the wall down. As soon as she did that her spirit and body were once again joined.
"What's going on down there?!" Sarge yelled.
"Let's go." Trunks grabbed Rosemary's hand and they ran out the dungeon through the hole in the wall.
"They're getting away!" Spinach yelled.
"I can see that idiot! Don't just stand there! Help me catch them!" Sarge ran down the stairs right Trunks and Rosemary got out.
"They're right on our tales!" Rosemary shouted as Trunks and her ran from Spinach and Sarge.
"Well, when you can't run… fly." Trunks flew into the air with Rosemary and they took off.
"Err…" Sarge kicked the ground.
"What's wrong, Sarge?" Spinach asked.
"I… I don't know how to fly." Sarge growled.
Spinach started laughing and Sarge punched him in the gut.
"Stop laughing at me and get them!" Sarge ordered.
"Yes sir." Spinach saluted and flew after Trunks and Rosemary.
"Wuh!!!" Bulma tripped over a bucket of water and kicked it as she got up. "Now who would leave a bucket of water in the middle of nowhere?!"
Suddenly she saw tracks. One she could tell were a woman's, but the other two were weird, yet familiar. They were men's tracks.
"These must be Trunks and Vegeta's tracks!" Bulma concluded, "But who's this girl?"
Bulma continues to follow the tracks, in hopes of finding his husband and son.
***NOTES*** Well I couldn't just forget about Bulma...
