"Please Trunks…you have to…" Trunks' arm shook as he slowly raised it, but it stopped in mid-air, "But Gohan…" "DO IT NOW!" Energy pulsed and gathered in Trunks' hand, but it didn't go anywhere. Gohan's eyes flickered, but remained black, "T-trunks…" A pause hung in the air; waiting…waiting…Trunks clenched his jaw and sent a full force blast at Gohan. A meek smile flashed across Gohan's face before he was consumed and-to put it bluntly- torn to shreds. The blast exploded on the ground, it getting ripped away and thrown up into the air. Trunks' attack kept going and going…until it stopped at the center of the Earth. A brief shudder passed through the Earth in the form of an earthquake, and everything was utterly quiet. The dust settled around Trunks' feet as he let his arm fall. Something had happened…Trunks looked around uneasily. A small shred of Gohan's gi danced through the wind and landed in front of Trunks.

Well? How was it? I know I know…The unspoken question "Why end it like that!?" Oh…but you see I end it so you have to think! You've got a brain, it's about time you used it! Sorry this is such a short chapter, but I think the ending served its purpose. NO, I don't think there will be any more chapters after this, unless *hint hint* some request is made or something…Well I hoped you enjoyed it, and I thank those who have had to wait and bear the cliff-hangers for their support and for not criticizing me…too much…Have a wonderful morning or afternoon or evening!
