Chapter 21
.:: Final Showdown ::.
Rosemary and Rio flew through the villages banging on the doors and windows. Everybody had to come to the lake.
"This is it everyone." Rosemary looked at them all, "We end this tonight! No more games! Anyone who doesn't want to fight go home now, go back to sleep, do whatever. I'm not forcing anyone to fight. Leave now."
Nobody moved.
Rosemary nodded, "If that's what you want. This will be our last battle so let's fight with pride and honor!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
They all started marching down the streets. Some did stay behind, though. Children that wouldn't stand a chance stayed with Bulma to tend to those who were brought back wounded.
As they approached the castle gate doors Rosemary turned to them.
"Let's not forget our reasons. This is for our freedom, our children, and for all our brothers and sisters that have died to make our life a better place!"
All the sayians cheered and knocked down the castle gates. Who would've guessed the kings guards were there waiting for them? The battle had begun.
"Rosemary watch out!" Trunks shouted as Rosemary fought with a sayian. He ran and blew up the one about to stab her behind.
She turned and smiled as she gave a thumbs up. Trunks pointed in front of her wide-eyed. Rosemary gasped as the sayian in front went to attack her she picked her sword up, but suddenly his head fell off. She looked at it roll wide-eyed.
"I've got you covered." Rio said behind the headless soldier.
"That makes two of us then." Trunks said.
"I guess so." Rio nodded.
"You idiots!" Vegeta blew-up the lot of soldiers in front of him, "Move it!"
The three nodded and took off to the castle.
After decapitating many soldiers, blowing many more to bits, and beating up the rest they finally got to the castle.
"You've gotten this far," Ryo appeared in front of them.
"But you still have to get through us." Sai appeared.
"Get out of my face!" Rosemary pushed them out the way and started running down the hall.
"Hey!" Ryo and Sai said in unison.
"Get'em!" Rio shouted getting Ryo in a head lock. Trunks stopped Sai by his tail which he so stupidly let out. Sai dropped to his knees in pain.
"Gee, I thought you guys got over the tail thing." Trunks smirked.
"Where are you! Where are you, you coward!" Rosemary shouted in the thrown room.
"Looking for me?" Sarge caught Rosemary in a head lock.
"I was talking about he other coward!" Rosemary snapped and bit Sarge with her sayian fangs.
Sarge jumped back.
"You stupid fool! You know you haven't got the slightest chance of escape when I'm in my super sayian form!" Rosemary shouted.
"Is that so!" Sarge snarled running towards Rosemary.
Before he even reached her she blew him to pieces.
"You killed him." Rosemary turned around to see her father.
"Are you angry with me?" Rosemary asked without feeling.
The king smirked, "No, not really. He was useless, I was going to do it myself actually."
Rosemary drew out her sword, "And that is why you cannot rule."
"Look at you. You look just like your mother did when she and I fought." The king continued to rule.
"Shut up!" Rosemary shouted, "Fight or I shall kill you!"
The king laughed, "Very well."
Rosemary winced at him waiting for him to draw his sword.
"Not this isn't fair." The king looked at her, "You're a super sayian."
"You're right. I shall fight you my mother fought you. That way I'll prove I don't need to be a super sayian to beat you." Rosemary went back to normal, "I expect you'll fight without the help of your stupid little trinkets."
"If you insist." The king pulled out his electronic device and dropped it to the ground.
"Now let's fight!" Rosemary grinned and attacked her father taking him by surprise. He blocked her sword by putting up his arm. The sword penetrated the armour and sliced the kings arm.
"Damn you!" The king punched Rosemary in the face.
She back up and put her sword away. She snarled and drop-kicked him in the gut.
Collie smacked the electric stun-gun out one of the soldiers hands.
"Let's see how good a fighter ya are wit'out your stupid weapons."
The soldier began to run and Collie sent a power bomb right through her stomach. The soldier dropped to her knees and fell flat on her face.
Collie looked over at Sushi who was fighting another soldier, then started fighting with another soldier.
"Why are you guys doing this?! Don't you see?!" Sushi blocked his punches, "If Rosemary rules everyone will be free."
"Stupid girl." The soldier struck her in the face and she fell backward. "Don't YOU see, if Rosemary is in rule there will be no future for me. Do you honestly think she'd help the soldier of the king's?"
"Yes." Sushi looked up at him.
"Then you're a fool!" He drew out his sword about to stab Sushi in the heart.
Sushi shut her eyes, but was surprised to find the soldier fall on her. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He had killed himself, or at least attempted to, he was still breathing. Sushi couldn't let a fellow sayian as confused as this one die--- not like this! She picked him up and ran through the crowd to the emergency truck.
As she ran she passed Vegeta. He was beating the tar out of anyone who attacked him.
Suddenly, he heard Bulma scream. Without thinking he ran to her.
Some of the soldiers had followed Sushi to the truck and were now killing of the wounded with Bulma and Sushi as hostages. No doubt they were going to kill them last.
"Drop them." Vegeta put out his hand ready for a galactic gun.
The soldiers looked at him for a second then went back to what they were doing.
"I DEMAND YOU STOP!" Vegeta shouted turning super sayian. Now they were scared. They started to back off, but anyone that moved got shot. Soon there was only one left, the one holding Bulma hostage.
"Back off, man. I'll kill'er! I swear!" He backed up. "Vegeta." Bulma whined.
"Quiet woman, I know." Vegeta winced at the soldier. He grabbed his hand and crushed it until it was nothing. The soldier let go of Bulma and backed up holding his arm.
"You want to mess with my mate?" Vegeta continued to scowl, "Now you die."
*BANG* That soldier was no more than dust particles flying through the air.
Bulma stared at Vegeta wide-eyed, "V-Vegeta?"
"We might be able to save them," Sushi loaded up the wounded sayians, "Shit, this is all my damn fault! Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why do I have to be so damn soft!"
Bulma shock her head and looked at Sushi, "No, it's not your fault Sushi."
"Just shut up and help me load them!" Sushi snapped.
"Agh." Jacko flew backward. Already he looked pretty beaten up. If only he can go super sayian, then he'd show this bonehead something, but it wasn't happening. Why? Why couldn't he go super sayian? It had come so easily to him before, why couldn't he remember how to transform?
The big brawny soldier was about to pound Jacko even deeper then he already was when he stopped suddenly. Two flashes of light sped in front of him and he fell backwards with and 'X' o his armour.
"D-Dad?" Jacko looked up as his father wiped the blood of his sword with his index finger and thumb.
"You were expecting Zorro?" Unagi turned and grinned at Jacko as he slid the sword back into place on his back.
"Zorro?" Jacko repeated as his father helped him up.
"Run! Run!" Cried several soldiers as they ran past on fire.
Ika materialized beside Jacko and Unagi as she chuckled proudly with hands on hips.
"Yes run you damn cowards! It's all you bastards are good for!" She laughed and set another soldier on fire. If anyone was enjoying this, she was.
"Ika." Unagi scolded firmly.
She scowled at him questioningly.
He smirked, "Please, save some for the rest of us."
Ika howled with proud laughter and continued terrorize the soldiers.
"Hey old man!" A soldier shouted at Koi who was covered head to toe in his hooded cape, "Why don't you fight and die with the rest of your crony numb-nut bastards?"
Koi was on his way to the battle.
The soldier and his comrade started laughing.
Koi straightened himself to his full height of seven feet. He turned to the soldiers.
"Old man? Who are you calling an old man?" He snarled as he pulled his hood off revealing his blonde mop of hair and his short blonde mustache and beard.
"Looks like blondie is ready to fight now." The speaker gave a toothy grin.
Koi held his staff in a fighting position waiting for them to attack.
The speaker practically barked as he went to attack Koi.
Koi jabbed him in the Adam's apple of the throat and sent the soldier backward on his butt gasping for air.
The other gritted his teeth glowering at Koi.
"Come and get it." Koi sneered.
The other went to fight. Koi hit him in the back of his knee and knocked the air out the soldiers lungs.
"Be happy," Koi put the staff in their faces, "I promised my daughter and her friend I wouldn't kill anymore."
He walked off as if nothing had just happened.
Millie cried in a corner of the castle gates away from all the fighting.
"Check out the babe." One of the soldiers loaded a canon.
The one he was with whistled, "Hey, ain't dat chick Tofu's sis?"
"I guess." The first aimed the canon at a crowd of sayians and let it rip. BOOM the whole lot of them were destroyed, that included the guard's soldiers as well. "Maybe I should… check on her."
"Whatever man." The second loaded another canon.
The first turned around and bumped right into Tofu.
"Checking out my little sister, huh?" Tofu crossed his arms.
"TOFU!" The soldier exclaimed drawing his sword. The others turned to look. "Get back to work! I'll take care of him!" They did so and Tofu drew his sword.
"Is that a fact? Do you honestly think third class sayian trash like you stands a chance against someone who has been training everyday of his life like me?"
"Yes." The soldier jabbed his sword at Tofu. Tofu put one arm behind his back and blocked the pathetic excuse for a fencing attack.
"Be warned." Tofu fenced with the soldier, "I'm a master at the art of Kendo ad exceptional at fencing."
"I'd expect as much from the legendary traitor." The soldier sneered as the fenced down the hall.
"Traitor? Maybe to you, but you're the real traitor here." Tofu grinned trying his best to seem humble.
"Is that so?" The soldier made a vicious attack to Tofu's head, but Tofu blocked it.
"Yes, you're a traitor to your own kind." Tofu knocked the sword out the soldier's hand and put his to the soldier's neck.
The soldier slowly raised his hands, "Do it, just kill me already."
Tofu gritted his teeth. This brought back so many memories--- "Just kill me already"--- how many times has he heard Rosemary say that? How many times has he coward away from doing it?
"As you wish." Tofu plunged the sword through the soldier's throat without a moments hesitation. The soldier's eyes widened right before the sword penetrated his skin.
Tofu pulled the sword out, he had done it, but… it felt terrible. He (like everyone else) realized what he was doing. He was taking the lives of his own people, his own blood even.
~ If you didn't kill him, he would've surly killed you. ~
Tofu assured himself and headed to the canon room to destroy the rest of them.
"You ass-hole traitor! I knew you were a low dirty bastard the first time I laid eyes on you!" Ryo cursed at Rio as he chained him up to a pillar with sayian-proof steel.
"Once I'm free half-breed I'll eat you alive." Sai scowled at Trunks as he chained him to the same pillar.
Trunks smiled evilly, "That is IF you're ever free."
Ryo cursed under his breath, his green eyes blazing.
"What's wrong my little white haired friend?" Rio rubbed Ryo's head.
"You BASTARD!!! Don't you lay your DAMN hands on me!! You shit-head! I'll slit your throat I will! I'll feed your body to the piranhas and put your head on a damn PLASTIC plate, because the god-damned silver is too damn good for your bloody HEAD!" Ryo exploded.
"You bastards are as good as dead." Sai looked Trunks and Rio, "We've got this whole castle wired. You thought that little underground explosion was something, just wait."
Trunks laughed, "How stupid can you get?! If you blow up the castle--- IF you blow up the castle, you'll die too." Ryo and Sai grinned and Trunks stopped.
"We've been injected with a special plasma that makes us… let's say… flame resistant." Sai explained.
"Impossible." Rio barked.
"Nothing's impossible." Ryo sneered.
Trunks and Rio looked exchanged glances.
Sai stepped on his own foot, "There, the bomb goes off in thirty minutes."
Trunks stared at them wide-eyed. They were either very, very smart, or criminally insane. He was going for criminally insane.
"What about your king?!" Trunks snapped, "What about him?!"
"He was injected too, along with Sarge, that's it though." Ryo said.
"You ass-holes!" Rio punched Ryo's lights out, "Rosemary's in this building!"
Sai began to laugh, "Looks like you both end up dying with your little whore."
Trunks gritted his teeth and without thinking fried.
"You fried him." Rio looked at Trunks.
"So? He's not completely dead." Trunks replied.
"I wanted to do it." Rio whined childishly.
"We really don't have time for this!" Trunks ran past Rio to the thrown room. Rio agreed and followed closely behind.
Ika laughed evilly as she flew above the battle. She raised her hands above her head and created a huge fireball. As more of the king's troops came charging out she tossed it at them. Anything and everything it hit was blown to bits, with the exception of the sayians wearing Porunga's armour. Hey! It was good armour after all! The few remaining soldiers dropped to their knees trembling and bowed. They were ready to surrender. This battle was over, but the battle with the king and the princess was still underway.
Millie stopped crying as a shadow covered her, she looked up to see Tofu. His clothes were stained with dried blood, so was his face. His brown eyes looked merciless, and yet at the same time cried for mercy.
"Tofu?" She looked at him. That's when he passed out and fell right into her arms. Millie hugged her big brother, all this fighting. He was so worn out.
~ I'm so afraid, ~ She sniffled, ~ but I have to stop crying. I'm acting like a… human. ~
Millie cringed, just the thought of being a human made her teeth grind.
Rosemary stopped in midair almost slamming into the wall. Her arms were spread out and she had one knee up.
"You're going to wish you hadn't done that." The white of Rosemary's eyes turned red as she put her wrists together and gathered energy for a power-bomb. Soon her whole eye was red.
"Give me your best shot." The king grinned. Like all sayians he loved a good challenge, he could've stopped her, but he wanted to beat her at her best. It's the only way sayians can boost their ego up a few notches.
Rosemary let it go and the impact flung Her arms over her head. The bomb hit the king, smashed him through several pillars and slammed him against the wall. Half he ceiling came crashing down where the pillars had been.
If the bombs didn't destroy this place, Rosemary surly would. The king got up hurting like hell and regretting that he ever let Rosemary power up. As he straightened his back he felt himself slam against the wall again. That's when he realized Rosemary was punching him into the wall. She pounded him so hard she made a new doorway between the throne room and the kitchen. The king dropped to the ground and she did a double flip on his stomach and he smashed through the ground.
"Come back!" Rosemary flew through the hole after him, "I'm not done with you!"
Rosemary was surprised to find her father up and ready. He blasted her straight up the hole in the ground she flew through and slammed her against the ceiling.
"Now I'm going to teach you some respect!" The king punched her in the face as she lay stuck in the ceiling.
She finally broke free and kicked him in the gut sending him flying back into the throne room. She flew in after him. He was standing at his throne weakly, breathing deeply. They were both pretty beaten up.
Rosemary flew at the speed of light and laid a fire punch right on the kings jaw as she pinned him to the ground. She continued to beat him with back to back uppercut punches. He grabbed something, but she didn't see it. Suddenly, ZAP Rosemary felt a jolt of electricity run through her veins. She roared wildly, begging him to stop. This time he wouldn't, this time he would kill her for sure.
"I'll kill you just like I killed your mother! And if I find you have hidden offspring I'll kill them too! You're a bitch! Your mother was a bitch! Your mother came from a family of bitches! I'll destroy their family tree forever!"
Despite the pain Rosemary powered up blowing the king backward, "WATCH WHO YOU'RE CALLING A GOD-DAMN BITCH!!!"
She turned super sayian with the electricity still running through her.
The king backed up, "We agreed…"
"You broke the rules, now it's my turn!" Rosemary looked like she was on pink fire as her hair blazed a metallic pink and her eyes glowed completely red.
She put her wrists together and aimed at her father. The electricity was eating at her, but that wouldn't stop her. It was now or never!
The king got a surge of confidence and stood up, "Who do you think you are? You don't even know what you're fighting for! You can't win Rosemary!"
"I already have." Rosemary let go of a huge power-bomb it struck the king down smashing him through several walls and it shook the castle. That wasn't the only thing shaking the castle.
"Rosemary it's a bomb!" Trunks shouted.
She turned as Rio and Trunks ran into the throne room. "then run you fools!" Rosemary landed and pulled them out the room. As they ran out the throne room blew up behind them. The ground was literally blowing up from under their feet. They passed by Sai and Ryo and rammed the castle door down.
"Everyone get down!" Rosemary shouted at the sayians outside as Rio dunked her into the water.
BOOM! The whole place went up in flames!
As the smoke cleared and the fire settled Rosemary climbed out the water on to the ruins of her childhood prison. She walked past the dazed Ryo and Sai, trying to recover from the blast, as she drew her sword.
She managed to find her father. She put the sword to his throat and raised it ready to stab him.
"Goodbye daddy dearest."
A month later.
"As your leader I'm changing the rules around here," Rosemary stood dressed in second… third generation royal dress. Equip with loose fitting snow white pants, gold coloured shoes, silver and gold chest armour with a dragon across the stomach over a translucent white blouse and yellow scouter.
"First rule. All children are allowed to stay with their parents as long as the parents will have them. Second rule. All ex-soldiers of the king are allowed to forget their pasts and look towards the future. What I mean is, you can either follow under my rule happily, leave, or complain about the government for the rest of your lives. If you decide you want to execute me however, you can try, but… well… good luck.
"Third Rule. All sayians can come and go as they please, under two conditions. They keep our empire a secret and they keep in touch." Rosemary can see her people smiling, what a great sight to see. "Fourth rule. Everyone will be treated equally, because we all fought equally. There will still be first, second, and third class villages, so that no one is homeless--- but the first class will be treated no better than the third. Anyone who disagrees will be exiled. Fifth and final rule. We'll all live in peace, but remain fighters,"--- she grinned--- "we want peace but we don't want to be a bunch of weak sayians right? Well, that's all folks."
Rosemary jumped off the stage and looked around for Trunks. He didn't leave already did he?
"Rosemary." Rio came behind her. She turned and smiled at him. "You wanted tell me something?"
"Yeah, first we have to find Trunks." Rosemary continued to look around.
"I saw him heading to the gates, he said bye." Sushi told Rosemary. The soldier she had saved during the war had his arm around her neck.
"Sushi." Rosemary gasped smiling.
Sushi looked at the soldier and blushed. She looked to the ground, "This is Cola."
"Nice to meet you Cola." Rosemary shook Cola's hand, "Sorry we can't talk some more, but I really must find my friend."
"No problem." He smiled.
"C'mon Rio." Rosemary pulled Rio by the hand.
"I'm coming." Rio laughed, then heard wedding bells, "Holy crap, I forgot!"
"What?"
"Miko and Tiff!" Rio pulled Rosemary to where the new church stood.
They were just in time to see them coming down the steps and into a new sayian hover-car.
"Where ya headed lil' bro.?" Rio smiled leaning on the car door.
"We're going to New York!" Tiff exclaimed.
"Alotta good jobs they got there. Alotta joints ta live in too." Miko explained, "I'll come back with da twins, don'tcha worry."
"Twins?" Rio mumbled as Miko took off giving Tiff only a few nano seconds to throw her bouquet.
It plopped right into Millie's hands, "Hey I caught it!"
"Give me that!" Tofu took the flowers, "No way in hell am I letting you out of my sight!"
Sai parked a black hover-car, as dark as his hair, in front of the chapel.
"Sorry, Tofu, a little late." Millie smiled and got in the car with Sai.
"May god be with you!" Ryo ran out dressed in a black priest outfit.
"Okay, I'm really freaked out, can we go now? I really need to get Trunks before he leaves!" Rosemary pulled Rio's arm.
"Sure thing babe… Rosemary." Rio followed her.
"See you all. I'll remember to write, visit, you know these good-byes." Trunks smiled weakly at Collie and Jacko.
Collie had got her hair cut right under her ears and she and Jacko were now wearing their new guard uniforms.
"C'mon Trunks." Bulma said popping out a capsule car, "Your father said he would catch up later."
"Okay mom." Trunks looked at his mom, and took one last look at his friends, "Tell your parents bye, Sushi and her dad too. And tell Rosemary that I'm sorry I couldn't see her one last time, it's just…"
Collie saw Trunks struggling, "I know exactly what to tell'er. You go on home now."
"Wait! Wait Trunks! Don't leave!" They heard Rosemary call over the ridge, "Wait!"
Trunks looked at Rosemary as she stopped panting in front of him.
"Good, I caught you before you left." Rosemary caught her breath, "Now I can tell you. I'm having a baby Trunks."
"You WHAT!?!" Trunks and Rio exclaimed.
Rio breathed heavy, "The world is spinning holy crap the world is spinning."
In a matter of seconds he passed out on the ground.
"I wasn't finished," Rosemary looked at Rio then at Trunks, "If it's a boy I want to name him after you."
"You… Wuh… um… wow," Trunks tried to find the words still stunned about the first surprise, "it would be a great honor Rosemary."
Rosemary smiled and hugged Trunks tight.
"Thanks bro." she whispered, "thanks for everything."
"This guy has no back bone." Jacko crossed his arms as Collie helped Rio up.
"Congratulations Rosemary, but we really must go. We'll keep in touch, we promise." Bulma said.
"Of course," Rosemary nodded and let go, "Goodbye."
"Bye." Trunks waved and got in the car.
As the car drove off Rosemary continued to tell herself, they would meet again.
"I'm not crazy I tell you! I really do have the power to make a sayian flame resistant! The only problem is, when it kicks in they lose all memory of who they are! I'm telling the truth!" Sarge shouted strapped in a straight jacket locked in the back of a mental hospital truck.
"That's what they all say," The driver (no other than the king himself) got in the van and took off.
It passed Vegeta as he stood in front of Vegeta-sei lake.
~ Until we meet again, Rose. ~ Vegeta slipped the king's medallion over his head and tossed it into his reflection then watched it sink to the very bottom.
.:: Epilogue ::.
Trunks woke up in a cold sweat, had it all been a dream? No! It was too real to be a dream!
"Trunks! Breakfast!" Bulma called from downstairs.
Trunks tried to convince himself it was just a dream as he pulled his jeans over his boxers and went downstairs.
He sat at the kitchen wondering where Bra was then heard Bra shout, "And I'm not eating breakfast either!"
Trunks decided Bra was throwing a fit because Bulma didn't want to take her shopping or something. It couldn't be because they left her alone for months and months to fend for her own.
Trunks looked at his father, he was staring out the window daydreaming. Something Trunks had never seen his dad do before.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Can you get that Trunks?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah sure mom." Trunks got up and opened the door. There Collie stood with Jacko. She was dressed formally in brown with big black framed glasses. Her short hair was pulled back in two braided pigtails. Jacko was dressed like Sherlock Holmes with the cap and cape and everything.
"Holy crap Trunks!" Jacko blurted and Collie elbowed him.
"Top of the morning to you, neighbor. We just moved from Britannia with our parents and would just love to meet our new neighbors." Collie said with a flaw-less English accident.
It wasn't a dream, Trunks knew that now, he knew it the whole time. And you know what? He was glad it wasn't a dream.
.:: The End ::.
(For now at least)
***NOTES*** Got a little Titanic there, sorry! I was lost for what to do. Okay, before I finally leave this story alone, let me clarify a few things that weren't really explained in the story. Yes, Rosemary didn't kill her father, he might be evil, but he IS the only family she has left in the world. Vegeta really does love Bulma, it's just that Rose was his FIRST love and they never broke up, just split apart so the feelings remained. He does truly care for Bulma though, honest! Oh yes, and the last one (this is for you Sera-cha!) RIO IS THE DADDY!!! Not Trunks, if you really think about it, it makes sense, because Trunks and Rosemary weren't together for very long and only slept in the same bed once (AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!!). Rosemary isn't a slut!!! LEAVE'ER ALONE!!! Second of all, Rio and Rosemary did get drunk during that celebration and couldn't remember much the next day. Third of all, the Epilogue takes place MONTHS later, a lot can happen in a few months...Oh yes, and REVIEW!!!
.:: Final Showdown ::.
Rosemary and Rio flew through the villages banging on the doors and windows. Everybody had to come to the lake.
"This is it everyone." Rosemary looked at them all, "We end this tonight! No more games! Anyone who doesn't want to fight go home now, go back to sleep, do whatever. I'm not forcing anyone to fight. Leave now."
Nobody moved.
Rosemary nodded, "If that's what you want. This will be our last battle so let's fight with pride and honor!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
They all started marching down the streets. Some did stay behind, though. Children that wouldn't stand a chance stayed with Bulma to tend to those who were brought back wounded.
As they approached the castle gate doors Rosemary turned to them.
"Let's not forget our reasons. This is for our freedom, our children, and for all our brothers and sisters that have died to make our life a better place!"
All the sayians cheered and knocked down the castle gates. Who would've guessed the kings guards were there waiting for them? The battle had begun.
"Rosemary watch out!" Trunks shouted as Rosemary fought with a sayian. He ran and blew up the one about to stab her behind.
She turned and smiled as she gave a thumbs up. Trunks pointed in front of her wide-eyed. Rosemary gasped as the sayian in front went to attack her she picked her sword up, but suddenly his head fell off. She looked at it roll wide-eyed.
"I've got you covered." Rio said behind the headless soldier.
"That makes two of us then." Trunks said.
"I guess so." Rio nodded.
"You idiots!" Vegeta blew-up the lot of soldiers in front of him, "Move it!"
The three nodded and took off to the castle.
After decapitating many soldiers, blowing many more to bits, and beating up the rest they finally got to the castle.
"You've gotten this far," Ryo appeared in front of them.
"But you still have to get through us." Sai appeared.
"Get out of my face!" Rosemary pushed them out the way and started running down the hall.
"Hey!" Ryo and Sai said in unison.
"Get'em!" Rio shouted getting Ryo in a head lock. Trunks stopped Sai by his tail which he so stupidly let out. Sai dropped to his knees in pain.
"Gee, I thought you guys got over the tail thing." Trunks smirked.
"Where are you! Where are you, you coward!" Rosemary shouted in the thrown room.
"Looking for me?" Sarge caught Rosemary in a head lock.
"I was talking about he other coward!" Rosemary snapped and bit Sarge with her sayian fangs.
Sarge jumped back.
"You stupid fool! You know you haven't got the slightest chance of escape when I'm in my super sayian form!" Rosemary shouted.
"Is that so!" Sarge snarled running towards Rosemary.
Before he even reached her she blew him to pieces.
"You killed him." Rosemary turned around to see her father.
"Are you angry with me?" Rosemary asked without feeling.
The king smirked, "No, not really. He was useless, I was going to do it myself actually."
Rosemary drew out her sword, "And that is why you cannot rule."
"Look at you. You look just like your mother did when she and I fought." The king continued to rule.
"Shut up!" Rosemary shouted, "Fight or I shall kill you!"
The king laughed, "Very well."
Rosemary winced at him waiting for him to draw his sword.
"Not this isn't fair." The king looked at her, "You're a super sayian."
"You're right. I shall fight you my mother fought you. That way I'll prove I don't need to be a super sayian to beat you." Rosemary went back to normal, "I expect you'll fight without the help of your stupid little trinkets."
"If you insist." The king pulled out his electronic device and dropped it to the ground.
"Now let's fight!" Rosemary grinned and attacked her father taking him by surprise. He blocked her sword by putting up his arm. The sword penetrated the armour and sliced the kings arm.
"Damn you!" The king punched Rosemary in the face.
She back up and put her sword away. She snarled and drop-kicked him in the gut.
Collie smacked the electric stun-gun out one of the soldiers hands.
"Let's see how good a fighter ya are wit'out your stupid weapons."
The soldier began to run and Collie sent a power bomb right through her stomach. The soldier dropped to her knees and fell flat on her face.
Collie looked over at Sushi who was fighting another soldier, then started fighting with another soldier.
"Why are you guys doing this?! Don't you see?!" Sushi blocked his punches, "If Rosemary rules everyone will be free."
"Stupid girl." The soldier struck her in the face and she fell backward. "Don't YOU see, if Rosemary is in rule there will be no future for me. Do you honestly think she'd help the soldier of the king's?"
"Yes." Sushi looked up at him.
"Then you're a fool!" He drew out his sword about to stab Sushi in the heart.
Sushi shut her eyes, but was surprised to find the soldier fall on her. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He had killed himself, or at least attempted to, he was still breathing. Sushi couldn't let a fellow sayian as confused as this one die--- not like this! She picked him up and ran through the crowd to the emergency truck.
As she ran she passed Vegeta. He was beating the tar out of anyone who attacked him.
Suddenly, he heard Bulma scream. Without thinking he ran to her.
Some of the soldiers had followed Sushi to the truck and were now killing of the wounded with Bulma and Sushi as hostages. No doubt they were going to kill them last.
"Drop them." Vegeta put out his hand ready for a galactic gun.
The soldiers looked at him for a second then went back to what they were doing.
"I DEMAND YOU STOP!" Vegeta shouted turning super sayian. Now they were scared. They started to back off, but anyone that moved got shot. Soon there was only one left, the one holding Bulma hostage.
"Back off, man. I'll kill'er! I swear!" He backed up. "Vegeta." Bulma whined.
"Quiet woman, I know." Vegeta winced at the soldier. He grabbed his hand and crushed it until it was nothing. The soldier let go of Bulma and backed up holding his arm.
"You want to mess with my mate?" Vegeta continued to scowl, "Now you die."
*BANG* That soldier was no more than dust particles flying through the air.
Bulma stared at Vegeta wide-eyed, "V-Vegeta?"
"We might be able to save them," Sushi loaded up the wounded sayians, "Shit, this is all my damn fault! Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why do I have to be so damn soft!"
Bulma shock her head and looked at Sushi, "No, it's not your fault Sushi."
"Just shut up and help me load them!" Sushi snapped.
"Agh." Jacko flew backward. Already he looked pretty beaten up. If only he can go super sayian, then he'd show this bonehead something, but it wasn't happening. Why? Why couldn't he go super sayian? It had come so easily to him before, why couldn't he remember how to transform?
The big brawny soldier was about to pound Jacko even deeper then he already was when he stopped suddenly. Two flashes of light sped in front of him and he fell backwards with and 'X' o his armour.
"D-Dad?" Jacko looked up as his father wiped the blood of his sword with his index finger and thumb.
"You were expecting Zorro?" Unagi turned and grinned at Jacko as he slid the sword back into place on his back.
"Zorro?" Jacko repeated as his father helped him up.
"Run! Run!" Cried several soldiers as they ran past on fire.
Ika materialized beside Jacko and Unagi as she chuckled proudly with hands on hips.
"Yes run you damn cowards! It's all you bastards are good for!" She laughed and set another soldier on fire. If anyone was enjoying this, she was.
"Ika." Unagi scolded firmly.
She scowled at him questioningly.
He smirked, "Please, save some for the rest of us."
Ika howled with proud laughter and continued terrorize the soldiers.
"Hey old man!" A soldier shouted at Koi who was covered head to toe in his hooded cape, "Why don't you fight and die with the rest of your crony numb-nut bastards?"
Koi was on his way to the battle.
The soldier and his comrade started laughing.
Koi straightened himself to his full height of seven feet. He turned to the soldiers.
"Old man? Who are you calling an old man?" He snarled as he pulled his hood off revealing his blonde mop of hair and his short blonde mustache and beard.
"Looks like blondie is ready to fight now." The speaker gave a toothy grin.
Koi held his staff in a fighting position waiting for them to attack.
The speaker practically barked as he went to attack Koi.
Koi jabbed him in the Adam's apple of the throat and sent the soldier backward on his butt gasping for air.
The other gritted his teeth glowering at Koi.
"Come and get it." Koi sneered.
The other went to fight. Koi hit him in the back of his knee and knocked the air out the soldiers lungs.
"Be happy," Koi put the staff in their faces, "I promised my daughter and her friend I wouldn't kill anymore."
He walked off as if nothing had just happened.
Millie cried in a corner of the castle gates away from all the fighting.
"Check out the babe." One of the soldiers loaded a canon.
The one he was with whistled, "Hey, ain't dat chick Tofu's sis?"
"I guess." The first aimed the canon at a crowd of sayians and let it rip. BOOM the whole lot of them were destroyed, that included the guard's soldiers as well. "Maybe I should… check on her."
"Whatever man." The second loaded another canon.
The first turned around and bumped right into Tofu.
"Checking out my little sister, huh?" Tofu crossed his arms.
"TOFU!" The soldier exclaimed drawing his sword. The others turned to look. "Get back to work! I'll take care of him!" They did so and Tofu drew his sword.
"Is that a fact? Do you honestly think third class sayian trash like you stands a chance against someone who has been training everyday of his life like me?"
"Yes." The soldier jabbed his sword at Tofu. Tofu put one arm behind his back and blocked the pathetic excuse for a fencing attack.
"Be warned." Tofu fenced with the soldier, "I'm a master at the art of Kendo ad exceptional at fencing."
"I'd expect as much from the legendary traitor." The soldier sneered as the fenced down the hall.
"Traitor? Maybe to you, but you're the real traitor here." Tofu grinned trying his best to seem humble.
"Is that so?" The soldier made a vicious attack to Tofu's head, but Tofu blocked it.
"Yes, you're a traitor to your own kind." Tofu knocked the sword out the soldier's hand and put his to the soldier's neck.
The soldier slowly raised his hands, "Do it, just kill me already."
Tofu gritted his teeth. This brought back so many memories--- "Just kill me already"--- how many times has he heard Rosemary say that? How many times has he coward away from doing it?
"As you wish." Tofu plunged the sword through the soldier's throat without a moments hesitation. The soldier's eyes widened right before the sword penetrated his skin.
Tofu pulled the sword out, he had done it, but… it felt terrible. He (like everyone else) realized what he was doing. He was taking the lives of his own people, his own blood even.
~ If you didn't kill him, he would've surly killed you. ~
Tofu assured himself and headed to the canon room to destroy the rest of them.
"You ass-hole traitor! I knew you were a low dirty bastard the first time I laid eyes on you!" Ryo cursed at Rio as he chained him up to a pillar with sayian-proof steel.
"Once I'm free half-breed I'll eat you alive." Sai scowled at Trunks as he chained him to the same pillar.
Trunks smiled evilly, "That is IF you're ever free."
Ryo cursed under his breath, his green eyes blazing.
"What's wrong my little white haired friend?" Rio rubbed Ryo's head.
"You BASTARD!!! Don't you lay your DAMN hands on me!! You shit-head! I'll slit your throat I will! I'll feed your body to the piranhas and put your head on a damn PLASTIC plate, because the god-damned silver is too damn good for your bloody HEAD!" Ryo exploded.
"You bastards are as good as dead." Sai looked Trunks and Rio, "We've got this whole castle wired. You thought that little underground explosion was something, just wait."
Trunks laughed, "How stupid can you get?! If you blow up the castle--- IF you blow up the castle, you'll die too." Ryo and Sai grinned and Trunks stopped.
"We've been injected with a special plasma that makes us… let's say… flame resistant." Sai explained.
"Impossible." Rio barked.
"Nothing's impossible." Ryo sneered.
Trunks and Rio looked exchanged glances.
Sai stepped on his own foot, "There, the bomb goes off in thirty minutes."
Trunks stared at them wide-eyed. They were either very, very smart, or criminally insane. He was going for criminally insane.
"What about your king?!" Trunks snapped, "What about him?!"
"He was injected too, along with Sarge, that's it though." Ryo said.
"You ass-holes!" Rio punched Ryo's lights out, "Rosemary's in this building!"
Sai began to laugh, "Looks like you both end up dying with your little whore."
Trunks gritted his teeth and without thinking fried.
"You fried him." Rio looked at Trunks.
"So? He's not completely dead." Trunks replied.
"I wanted to do it." Rio whined childishly.
"We really don't have time for this!" Trunks ran past Rio to the thrown room. Rio agreed and followed closely behind.
Ika laughed evilly as she flew above the battle. She raised her hands above her head and created a huge fireball. As more of the king's troops came charging out she tossed it at them. Anything and everything it hit was blown to bits, with the exception of the sayians wearing Porunga's armour. Hey! It was good armour after all! The few remaining soldiers dropped to their knees trembling and bowed. They were ready to surrender. This battle was over, but the battle with the king and the princess was still underway.
Millie stopped crying as a shadow covered her, she looked up to see Tofu. His clothes were stained with dried blood, so was his face. His brown eyes looked merciless, and yet at the same time cried for mercy.
"Tofu?" She looked at him. That's when he passed out and fell right into her arms. Millie hugged her big brother, all this fighting. He was so worn out.
~ I'm so afraid, ~ She sniffled, ~ but I have to stop crying. I'm acting like a… human. ~
Millie cringed, just the thought of being a human made her teeth grind.
Rosemary stopped in midair almost slamming into the wall. Her arms were spread out and she had one knee up.
"You're going to wish you hadn't done that." The white of Rosemary's eyes turned red as she put her wrists together and gathered energy for a power-bomb. Soon her whole eye was red.
"Give me your best shot." The king grinned. Like all sayians he loved a good challenge, he could've stopped her, but he wanted to beat her at her best. It's the only way sayians can boost their ego up a few notches.
Rosemary let it go and the impact flung Her arms over her head. The bomb hit the king, smashed him through several pillars and slammed him against the wall. Half he ceiling came crashing down where the pillars had been.
If the bombs didn't destroy this place, Rosemary surly would. The king got up hurting like hell and regretting that he ever let Rosemary power up. As he straightened his back he felt himself slam against the wall again. That's when he realized Rosemary was punching him into the wall. She pounded him so hard she made a new doorway between the throne room and the kitchen. The king dropped to the ground and she did a double flip on his stomach and he smashed through the ground.
"Come back!" Rosemary flew through the hole after him, "I'm not done with you!"
Rosemary was surprised to find her father up and ready. He blasted her straight up the hole in the ground she flew through and slammed her against the ceiling.
"Now I'm going to teach you some respect!" The king punched her in the face as she lay stuck in the ceiling.
She finally broke free and kicked him in the gut sending him flying back into the throne room. She flew in after him. He was standing at his throne weakly, breathing deeply. They were both pretty beaten up.
Rosemary flew at the speed of light and laid a fire punch right on the kings jaw as she pinned him to the ground. She continued to beat him with back to back uppercut punches. He grabbed something, but she didn't see it. Suddenly, ZAP Rosemary felt a jolt of electricity run through her veins. She roared wildly, begging him to stop. This time he wouldn't, this time he would kill her for sure.
"I'll kill you just like I killed your mother! And if I find you have hidden offspring I'll kill them too! You're a bitch! Your mother was a bitch! Your mother came from a family of bitches! I'll destroy their family tree forever!"
Despite the pain Rosemary powered up blowing the king backward, "WATCH WHO YOU'RE CALLING A GOD-DAMN BITCH!!!"
She turned super sayian with the electricity still running through her.
The king backed up, "We agreed…"
"You broke the rules, now it's my turn!" Rosemary looked like she was on pink fire as her hair blazed a metallic pink and her eyes glowed completely red.
She put her wrists together and aimed at her father. The electricity was eating at her, but that wouldn't stop her. It was now or never!
The king got a surge of confidence and stood up, "Who do you think you are? You don't even know what you're fighting for! You can't win Rosemary!"
"I already have." Rosemary let go of a huge power-bomb it struck the king down smashing him through several walls and it shook the castle. That wasn't the only thing shaking the castle.
"Rosemary it's a bomb!" Trunks shouted.
She turned as Rio and Trunks ran into the throne room. "then run you fools!" Rosemary landed and pulled them out the room. As they ran out the throne room blew up behind them. The ground was literally blowing up from under their feet. They passed by Sai and Ryo and rammed the castle door down.
"Everyone get down!" Rosemary shouted at the sayians outside as Rio dunked her into the water.
BOOM! The whole place went up in flames!
As the smoke cleared and the fire settled Rosemary climbed out the water on to the ruins of her childhood prison. She walked past the dazed Ryo and Sai, trying to recover from the blast, as she drew her sword.
She managed to find her father. She put the sword to his throat and raised it ready to stab him.
"Goodbye daddy dearest."
A month later.
"As your leader I'm changing the rules around here," Rosemary stood dressed in second… third generation royal dress. Equip with loose fitting snow white pants, gold coloured shoes, silver and gold chest armour with a dragon across the stomach over a translucent white blouse and yellow scouter.
"First rule. All children are allowed to stay with their parents as long as the parents will have them. Second rule. All ex-soldiers of the king are allowed to forget their pasts and look towards the future. What I mean is, you can either follow under my rule happily, leave, or complain about the government for the rest of your lives. If you decide you want to execute me however, you can try, but… well… good luck.
"Third Rule. All sayians can come and go as they please, under two conditions. They keep our empire a secret and they keep in touch." Rosemary can see her people smiling, what a great sight to see. "Fourth rule. Everyone will be treated equally, because we all fought equally. There will still be first, second, and third class villages, so that no one is homeless--- but the first class will be treated no better than the third. Anyone who disagrees will be exiled. Fifth and final rule. We'll all live in peace, but remain fighters,"--- she grinned--- "we want peace but we don't want to be a bunch of weak sayians right? Well, that's all folks."
Rosemary jumped off the stage and looked around for Trunks. He didn't leave already did he?
"Rosemary." Rio came behind her. She turned and smiled at him. "You wanted tell me something?"
"Yeah, first we have to find Trunks." Rosemary continued to look around.
"I saw him heading to the gates, he said bye." Sushi told Rosemary. The soldier she had saved during the war had his arm around her neck.
"Sushi." Rosemary gasped smiling.
Sushi looked at the soldier and blushed. She looked to the ground, "This is Cola."
"Nice to meet you Cola." Rosemary shook Cola's hand, "Sorry we can't talk some more, but I really must find my friend."
"No problem." He smiled.
"C'mon Rio." Rosemary pulled Rio by the hand.
"I'm coming." Rio laughed, then heard wedding bells, "Holy crap, I forgot!"
"What?"
"Miko and Tiff!" Rio pulled Rosemary to where the new church stood.
They were just in time to see them coming down the steps and into a new sayian hover-car.
"Where ya headed lil' bro.?" Rio smiled leaning on the car door.
"We're going to New York!" Tiff exclaimed.
"Alotta good jobs they got there. Alotta joints ta live in too." Miko explained, "I'll come back with da twins, don'tcha worry."
"Twins?" Rio mumbled as Miko took off giving Tiff only a few nano seconds to throw her bouquet.
It plopped right into Millie's hands, "Hey I caught it!"
"Give me that!" Tofu took the flowers, "No way in hell am I letting you out of my sight!"
Sai parked a black hover-car, as dark as his hair, in front of the chapel.
"Sorry, Tofu, a little late." Millie smiled and got in the car with Sai.
"May god be with you!" Ryo ran out dressed in a black priest outfit.
"Okay, I'm really freaked out, can we go now? I really need to get Trunks before he leaves!" Rosemary pulled Rio's arm.
"Sure thing babe… Rosemary." Rio followed her.
"See you all. I'll remember to write, visit, you know these good-byes." Trunks smiled weakly at Collie and Jacko.
Collie had got her hair cut right under her ears and she and Jacko were now wearing their new guard uniforms.
"C'mon Trunks." Bulma said popping out a capsule car, "Your father said he would catch up later."
"Okay mom." Trunks looked at his mom, and took one last look at his friends, "Tell your parents bye, Sushi and her dad too. And tell Rosemary that I'm sorry I couldn't see her one last time, it's just…"
Collie saw Trunks struggling, "I know exactly what to tell'er. You go on home now."
"Wait! Wait Trunks! Don't leave!" They heard Rosemary call over the ridge, "Wait!"
Trunks looked at Rosemary as she stopped panting in front of him.
"Good, I caught you before you left." Rosemary caught her breath, "Now I can tell you. I'm having a baby Trunks."
"You WHAT!?!" Trunks and Rio exclaimed.
Rio breathed heavy, "The world is spinning holy crap the world is spinning."
In a matter of seconds he passed out on the ground.
"I wasn't finished," Rosemary looked at Rio then at Trunks, "If it's a boy I want to name him after you."
"You… Wuh… um… wow," Trunks tried to find the words still stunned about the first surprise, "it would be a great honor Rosemary."
Rosemary smiled and hugged Trunks tight.
"Thanks bro." she whispered, "thanks for everything."
"This guy has no back bone." Jacko crossed his arms as Collie helped Rio up.
"Congratulations Rosemary, but we really must go. We'll keep in touch, we promise." Bulma said.
"Of course," Rosemary nodded and let go, "Goodbye."
"Bye." Trunks waved and got in the car.
As the car drove off Rosemary continued to tell herself, they would meet again.
"I'm not crazy I tell you! I really do have the power to make a sayian flame resistant! The only problem is, when it kicks in they lose all memory of who they are! I'm telling the truth!" Sarge shouted strapped in a straight jacket locked in the back of a mental hospital truck.
"That's what they all say," The driver (no other than the king himself) got in the van and took off.
It passed Vegeta as he stood in front of Vegeta-sei lake.
~ Until we meet again, Rose. ~ Vegeta slipped the king's medallion over his head and tossed it into his reflection then watched it sink to the very bottom.
.:: Epilogue ::.
Trunks woke up in a cold sweat, had it all been a dream? No! It was too real to be a dream!
"Trunks! Breakfast!" Bulma called from downstairs.
Trunks tried to convince himself it was just a dream as he pulled his jeans over his boxers and went downstairs.
He sat at the kitchen wondering where Bra was then heard Bra shout, "And I'm not eating breakfast either!"
Trunks decided Bra was throwing a fit because Bulma didn't want to take her shopping or something. It couldn't be because they left her alone for months and months to fend for her own.
Trunks looked at his father, he was staring out the window daydreaming. Something Trunks had never seen his dad do before.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Can you get that Trunks?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah sure mom." Trunks got up and opened the door. There Collie stood with Jacko. She was dressed formally in brown with big black framed glasses. Her short hair was pulled back in two braided pigtails. Jacko was dressed like Sherlock Holmes with the cap and cape and everything.
"Holy crap Trunks!" Jacko blurted and Collie elbowed him.
"Top of the morning to you, neighbor. We just moved from Britannia with our parents and would just love to meet our new neighbors." Collie said with a flaw-less English accident.
It wasn't a dream, Trunks knew that now, he knew it the whole time. And you know what? He was glad it wasn't a dream.
.:: The End ::.
(For now at least)
***NOTES*** Got a little Titanic there, sorry! I was lost for what to do. Okay, before I finally leave this story alone, let me clarify a few things that weren't really explained in the story. Yes, Rosemary didn't kill her father, he might be evil, but he IS the only family she has left in the world. Vegeta really does love Bulma, it's just that Rose was his FIRST love and they never broke up, just split apart so the feelings remained. He does truly care for Bulma though, honest! Oh yes, and the last one (this is for you Sera-cha!) RIO IS THE DADDY!!! Not Trunks, if you really think about it, it makes sense, because Trunks and Rosemary weren't together for very long and only slept in the same bed once (AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!!). Rosemary isn't a slut!!! LEAVE'ER ALONE!!! Second of all, Rio and Rosemary did get drunk during that celebration and couldn't remember much the next day. Third of all, the Epilogue takes place MONTHS later, a lot can happen in a few months...Oh yes, and REVIEW!!!
