I didn't give him an answer. I picked up Marron to help calm Pan
down. Pan had already used about two boxes of tissues and still, we had no
sign of Trunks. Goten was in the passenger seat while the others spread out
in the large plane. I could see Goten was hurting almost as Pan was, except
he was holding it all in. Trunks knew Goten from the time he was born. They
had so many adventures and it just looked as if Trunks may have killed
himself. Goten looked at me and asked me again.
"Rich, tell me the truth. Dead or alive?" He asked me again.
At that moment, I had the smallest trace of Trunks' ki. I made the plane go faster and followed Trunks' ki to the pier. We stopped a half of a mile away since we couldn't get through with the plane. Trunks pulled out a gun and pointed it to his head.
"Rich! That's the gun my mother created. It so strong it could even kill a Saiyan!" Bra yelled at me.
"Shit! You four take care of Pan!" I yelled as I got out.
I started flying at full speed toward him. He cocked the gun back and started pulling the trigger. I knew I wasn't going to make it in time.
"Trunks!" I yelled to get his attention.
Trunks didn't look back. I tried firing a small ki ball at the gun. I threw it and just as it was about a foot away, I heard the gunshot. Trunks then fell back. I saw how Trunks fell back and felt his ki disappear in one second. I dropped to my knees. I had a brief moment of sorrow, but I ran over to him. Trunks still had the gun to his head. He was alive and he was shaking. I slowly took the gun out of his hand and he decided to speak.
"I'm weak. That's what my father said to me one time. I know now that's the truth. I couldn't even die for Pan. I shot the bullet into the air," He said as he dropped a few tears while he was still on the ground.
I couldn't say anything to him. All I could've done was listen to what he had to say. Pan ran over and hugged him. She thought he was still dead. She saw that he was still alive and kissed him. Bra, Goten, and Marron finally managed to smile a bit. Goten walked up and held a hand for him. Trunks looked at him and grabbed it to stand up.
"I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry!" Pan yelled at him as she hugged him.
"No, it was my fault," He said as he hugged Pan so tightly.
Bra took the gun from me and explained something to me.
"My mother created this gun unless a really strong guy came back. She only made one bullet for it," She explained as she checked it out.
Marron came over and she put her head on my chest while I had my arms around her.
"Listen, don't ever do this," She told me.
"Whatever you say," I replied.
We all walked back into the plane. It was hard to look at each other the same. We all kept calm and never spoke of this day. Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta never even knew Trunks ran away. While we were going back to Capsule Corporation, we spotted an energy blast coming toward us at the last second. The others flew out while I tried to grab Marron. A part of her was caught in the explosion and I carried her to the ground. I tried waking her up, but she was dead. I looked up and saw a fighter none of us seen before.
"Who are you?" I asked in a really bad mood.
"I am Dr. Gero's secret creation. My name is Android 22," He said with a very evil smile.
"Rich, tell me the truth. Dead or alive?" He asked me again.
