a/n-A couple things to say...I still don't have Microsoft Word. Blame Uncle David for not giving it to us yet, and blame Aunty Linda's boyfriend for messing up my computer in the first place. Just...please, work with me. I hate spelling wrong, and I hate reading fanfictions with misspelled words. So sorry...But anyway, you're probably going to see more updates lately. I was getting kind of bored with it before(writing it for the second time and all), but now I'm like at the end of the middle of the book. And guess what? IT'S ONLY LIKE FIFTY SOMETHING PAGES!!! =[=[=[ It was three hundred and thirty four before...I did take out a lot of things that happened. Like when Crystal died, she was actually like, sixteen. And Vegeta had turned evil and sided with Elcarim. But after this story, I will be working on a sequel....but god, I need a name for it. Just 'The Sequel To The Messenger' is very stupid. So...maybe you could help. Whatever. This might take a turn for drama in a little while, I know that while I was writing this the first time I cried when....well, someone died. Okay...I think I've said everything that needs to be said, so I'll stop boring you(and hopefully you are not bored with this story...because I love it! but if it is boring you, and you're just reading cause you have no life and you're just wasting time, sorry because there's a whole new evil now...) and you can get on with the story!!! When you're done, please review! Love 'ya! ~Caity =]
ps-for those of you who are just reading this because you like Trunks....don't stop reading because if you read this chapter(for two reasons) you'll see that he's coming back. wow, *big* spoiler there...sorry....

Elcarim grinned. "Well, now that he's out of the way...Come on, Heroki."
"You said you wanted the strongest?" Heroki asked.
"Yes." Elcarim replied in a bored tone.
"Then...you want Trunks." Heroki said. Elcarim looked stunned for a moment, then turned his looks to confidance and boredom.
"Oh really? Alright, then." He said. Trunks quickly powered up into a Difinite Saiyan and flew at Elcarim.

All hope left all of the Z fighters when Trunks couldn't fight back. Trunks was a normal Saiyan again, and Elcarim was showing no mercy.
"Let me go!!!" Heroki yelled. A couple of the fighters were using all of their strength just to hold her back. She was desperetely trying to get out there and help Trunks, even if it cost her her life.
"No! He'll just kill you, too!" Goku cried.
"So?! I don't care! We can't just watch him die!" Heroki cried.
"We can just wish him back with the dragon balls!" Krilan cried, everyone except Heroki and Kamakie looked at him.
"Uh..yeah! Yeah, we can." Goku said.
'Trunks, I'm sorry, they won't let me get to you!' Heroki cried to Trunks mentally.
'It's alright...you can wish me back with the dragon balls...' He said.
'I love you...'
'I love you, too.' He paused as Elcarim was about to fire a ki attack at him. 'I'm going to miss you.' And with that, Heroki's eyes widened as Trunks' ki dissapeared.

Heroki immediately let her ki burst out below her and started flying up to Dende's palace. Goku, Gohan, and the others quickly followed.
"Heroki, wait!" Goku cried. Heroki stopped and looked down at them. She felt no reason to cry, because she was going to wish him back. But why did he say that he was going to miss her?
"What?" Heroki asked.
"Um...we can't wish Trunks back." Goku said. Heroki's eyes widned.
"What? But- but you said that we could! And he told me that we could! Right before he died!"
"We told you that so that you wouldn't go and get yourself killed." Gohan said. Tears blocked Heroki's vision. "Heroki..." Heroki flew past them, and started flying back to her house. Trunks was gone...forever.

Trunks opened his eyes and stood up.
"Am I dead?" He asked himself. He looked at what seemed to be a never ending bridge, and Trunks recognized it as 'Snake Road'. He hadn't gone to Snake Road last time when Cell shot him with a laser, because he was just clinging to life, but they still had to wish him to be alive because if not, he would have died.
Trunks looked down at his clothes, then took out his sword and looked at his reflection. He was young again, around the age of when he first met Heroki.
He sighed, relieved to see that Goku and the others had succesfully kept Heroki away from the battle, she was still alive.
But was that a good thing? He might not ever see her again, since her whole life she wasn't trying to protect the Earth, at one point she was training to destroy it, just like his father.
He should have been happy, but yet he was sad. He sighed and sat down. Heroki was gone, he would never see her again.
Trunks closed his eyes to try and talk to Heroki with their link. It was a long shot, but he had to try.
'Heroki?' When he didn't get an answer, he realized that he couldn't even feel her anymore.
I can't be sad. He thought. Heroki's alive. Trunks couldn't believe that he actually wanted her to die, but it wouldn't make a difference anyway. She would just be dead, and possibly reincarnated. He was never going to see her again, and that was it.
"I'm going to miss you, Heroki." He said to himself, then started his long walk down Snake Road.

"Sh...it's okay..." Kamakie tried comforting Heroki, but it wouldn't work. She was crying hysterically into his shoulder. Her hair was blonde, and if she looked at him her eyes were blue. Trunks was dead, and they were bonded, so Heroki was only half as powerful without him, making her a Super Saiyan.
"If only...I could turn back time." She said, looking up at him and sniffling a couple of times. "I could have died with him...I want to die..."
"No, don't say that." He said. Heroki just started crying again. "I'm here for you, Heroki, I always will be. I-" What Kamakie was about to say would have ruined everything. Heroki looked up at him, waiting for him to finish. "I'll never leave you." That was a mistake. Heroki just started crying even more. But that wasn't what he was originally going to say, he knew that he could never tell Heroki how he felt for her unless he was dying in her arms, which he didn't know would be happening in only a few months.
"That's what Trunks told me...and now he's gone." She said between sobs. Kamakie just kept hugging her. That's all he could do for her, hug her and give her a shoulder to cry on.
All Heroki could think about was Trunks...and Crystal. The two most important people in her life were gone, and now she was just waiting for Kamakie to leave. Her daughter was dead, her father-in-law, and now her husband. It was like her nightmare wasn't ending, even if Kamaya was dead. No one knew about her last encounter with Kamaya, other than Trunks and Kamakie.
Then she realized that she brought the nightmare with her. If she had never come to Earth, Trunks would be alive. She was the reason that Kamaya came, and now Elcarim. It was her fault...all her fault...
"It's all my fault." She said, suddenly not able to hold her thoughts in.
"How?" Kamakie asked.
"If I had never come to Earth, Trunks and even Vegeta would be alive." Even though she wouldn't admit it, she missed Vegeta. Even if they would fight and tease each other all the time, she really liked him under all of his arrogance and pride, and Heroki guessed that that was the Vegeta that Bulma and Trunks saw in him. He really cared under everything, he was just to proud to show it.
"It wasn't your fault, Kamaya made you come, and now he's dead." Kamakie said. "And anyway, where would Trunks be without you? All he would have is his mother, and she would soon die anyway because she was...well...old. Then what would he do? The only thing that was important in his life was over, maybe even what he was born for, to go back in time. So you- in a way- gave him a reason to live other than going back into the past." Heroki laughed lightly.
"You make no sense." Kamakie smiled and shrugged.
"I know." Heroki wasn't crying as madly anymore, she felt like she didn't have the strength. She only cried silently, tears running down her cheeks as she hugged Kamakie and stared at nothing.

All there was was darkness. Nothing else. Heroki seemed to be standing in darkness, or maybe floating.
"Where am I?" She asked herself, her voice echoeing. The last she remembered, she had gone to bed and Kamakie left for home,and now she was floating in some dakrness. "Is this a dream?" Maybe it was a dream, but it didn't feel like one. Heroki could think, and move, and she felt very aware.
Suddenly, the darkness changed to woods. Someone was running through the woods, screaming and crying.
"Mommy! Daddy!" She cried. Heroki walked over, and saw that the little girl that was running was Crystal.
"Crystal!" Heroki cried, reaching out to grab her daughter, but Heroki only went through her. "Aah!"
Crystal tripped over a rock, and fell. Elcarim stood over her, laughing.
"Well, well, well...Look what we have here." He said. Crystal stared at him.
"My mommy and daddy will get you!" She cried. He laughed again.
"Oh...your mommy and daddy are too weak to stop me." He said.
"What's your name?" She asked. He grinned.
"Elcarim."
"Crystal!" Heroki cried, then she knew that neither Crystal or Elcarim could hear her. Elcarim took out a sword and put it through Crystals stomach. Heroki was crying.
Elcarim lifted the sword up, and pulled it out to the side. Crystal tried to hold in her guts, but it wouldn't work. She was going to die.
Crystal just lay still, not struggling to try and put her stomach insides back in. Elcarim was laughing.
"Crystal!" Heroki cried again, kneeling beside her dying daughter. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry I couldn't help you..."
Then, the scene changed. She was in space, hovering over Wen Aeniug.
"What the hell is going on here?" She asked herself, then gapsed. Elcarim was standing next to her with Kamaya, Rhone, and Kita.
"Good bye, Wen Aeniug." Elcarim said, then the four threw powerful ki blasts at the planet.
Then Heroki was on the planet, watching all of her screaming people run around, trying to find some sort of a space ship. But it was too late, ki blasts were already pumelling onto the planet.
Next, Heroki felt a great wind ripping through her hair. Elcarim was again in front of her, and a Super Saiyan was next to her.
"Trunks." Heroki said, simply, feeling the tears come back. Trunks looked confident, and so did Elcarim.
Heroki turned around. The past her was standing above Trunks, Elcarim, and herself, she was smiling.
"You cannot win." Trunks said. Elcarim laughed.
"Oh, but I already have." Elcarim smirked.
"Evil never provails. Even if I die, someone stronger will take my place." Trunks said.
"Oh but Trunks...if only you knew..." Heroki said tearfully, and tried to touch him, knowing that she couldn't. Again, her fingers went right through him. "I don't want to be here!" She cried. She knew that this was no ordinary dream, someone was showing this to her, keeping her here in this 'dream'.
But she couldn't wake up. She watched Trunks struggle to stay alive, and she was going to see him die.
"You can never win." Trunks said weakly, standing up after he ad been hit with a powerful ki blast. The past Heroki was now screaming, being held back.
"Why couldn't you remeber?" Heroki asked her past self. "Why didn't you remember that Trunks was already wished back once? Then you could have helped...at least escaped..."
Heroki watched as Elcarim sent the energy blast at Trunks, and he died.
"Let me out of here!" Heroki yelled, squeazing her eyes shut, at whoever was keeping her there. She knew that this was not an ordinary deam, she was not there when Crystal died or when Wen Aeniug was blown up.
Heroki couldn't hear her past form screaming anymore, and the wind was gone. Where am I now? Heroki thought, then opened her eyes.
This time, she didn't know where she was. She was in a cave, with no light.
"Well then, I'll just make my own light." Heroki said, then let her Super Saiyan light dance around her.
What she was looking at was herself and Kamakie, sleeping in the cave.
"This never happened." Heroki said to herself. The Heroki in front of her had silver hair. "This cannot be the past, it must be the future or something."
Then, she was back in the darkness. Someone was laughing.
"Who are you?!" Heroki asked.
"Terrible...isn't it, Heroki?" The voice asked. It was not Elcarim's, or Kamayas's, so who was it?
"Who are you?" Heroki repeated.
"Think of all of the things you just saw...You are a terrible mother, Empress, and wife. Don't you think?"
"Shut up!" Heroki yelled.
"Do you wish to see your end?" The voice asked.
"No! Leave me alone!" But the thing wouldn't leave her alone.
She was standing in a field, looking at herself. She had black hair and light red eyes, and she was wearing a black suit that covered her whole body except her head, back, and a hole opened up around her belly button. It didn't really look like Heroki, but Heroki could tell it was herself by her face.
"I'm sorry, Trunks...I love you." She said.
"Trunks?" Heroki asked herself. The other Heroki's hand was on her chest. A ki blast was starting to form in her hand, and her eyes squeezed shut tightly as the energy blast made by herself went through her heart. "I kill myself? But why?"
She didn't get the answer, and she knew that she never would until that day, because suddenly she was back in the blackness.
"Why do I kill myslef?" Heroki asked the deep voice that had been talking to her before.
"Well, that would be spoiling the future, wouldn't it? Unfortunetely, I can't do anything to stop you. I'll tell you this, you killed yourself so that I wouldn't get you." He said.
"Is Trunks alive there?" Heroki asked, remembering that she had told Trunks that she loved him.
"Yes, but he won't be alive for much longer."
"Why not?"
"Because he comes to Yavn Ehmol to kill me."
Heroki suddenly sat up, breathing hard and sweating. She was back in her house, in her bed.
"...was it just a dream?" She asked herself, then shivered violenty. It had felt so real... She looked out the window. It was morning, nine o' clock when she looked at the clock.
Heroki sighed and got up. She wanted to get her mind off of the 'dream'. Did the thing that kept her there just make up her death to scare her?
"Yeah, that must be it." Heroki said to herself. "I would never kill myself, especially if Trunks was alive again."
Heroki got dressed into her usual outfit, black stretch pants and a black tank top with boots. Her eyes darted around the room.
"Wow." She said. "I haven't slept alone since before I came to Earth. Trunks was always there one way or another." Trunks... She quickly got the idea of being alone out of her head, not wanting to cry again.
She looked at the chair that was in the corner of the room. Trunks' old Capsule Corp jacket was laying on it. It didn't really fit him that good anymore, so he let Heroki use it.
Heroki picked it up and just held it for a moment.
"There has to be some way we can get you back." She said, tears welling up in her eyes as she clutched the jacket. "If we're really ment to be together..."
She quickly wiped her eyes, then put it on and went downstairs. Then opened the door and started flying to Capsule Corp, she had planned to go visit Bulma today, both of them had lost someone very special in their life.
On the way there, she ran into the younger Trunks.
"Hey, Heroki." He said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. You running erands for Bulma?" Trunks rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. Just because I can fly she thinks I can do everything all the time." He said. Heroki smiled. "Well, I gotta go to the market. See ya."
"Bye, Trunks." She said as the child flew off and she continued her way to Capsule Corp. When she got there, she knocked on the door, and a weary Bulma answered.
"Hello, Heroki. Come on in." She said. Heroki smiled and went in, then sat down at the table. "Want some coffee?"
"Yeah, that would be good. Thanks." Heroki said, running her hand through her blonde hair. Bulma seemed more happy than usual, excited for some reason as she handed Heroki a cup of coffee and sat down with a cup of her own.
"I've been thinking." Bulma said. Heroki sipped some of her coffee. "We cannot wish back Vegeta or Trunks on Earth..."
"Don't remind me." Heroki mumbled. Bulma smiled.
"Just listen, dear." Bulma said. "Maybe we can wish Wen Aeniug back, then have Piccolo or some Namek be the guardian of it, and then the planet would get dragon balls, and we could wish them back." Heroki smiled.
"That's a great idea!" She cried happily, jumping up. She knew it, she knew that their had to be a way for him to come back. Bulma also stood up and hugged Heroki, and she hugged her back. She didn't care if anyone saw her hugging her mother-in-law, she was too happy to worry about pried.

"Elcarim." Kita said, sitting up. "We have to do something about Goku, Heroki, and their friends. They can get to be a problem." Elcarim dissmisevely waved his hand.
"No way! Don't worry about it, Kita. They'll never defeat me." He said. "Right, Rohne?" Rohne hadn't been being herself lately. She was always looking out the window, or just looking at nothing. "Rohne?!" Rohne jumped and looked at Elcarim.
"Hm? Oh, sorry Elcarim." She said.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Kita asked.
"Nothing, nothing."
"Nothing?!" Elcarim cried, standing up. "Why are you acting like this?!"
"I'm fine!!" She yelled.
"You're fine my ass!" Elcarim cried. He didn't care if Rohne was hurt in some way, it just bothered him that she was acting so god damn spacey.
"It's just..."
"It's just what?" Kita asked, having more sympathy than Elcarim. Rohne's eyes filled with unshed tears.
"Elcarim killed Trunks." She said. Elcarim and Kita nearly fell over.
"Is that's what's wrong?!" Elcarim asked, laughing. Kita smiled and folded her arms.
"Our little Rohne had a bit of a crush on Trunks." Kita said.
"Ah, I see." Elcarim said. Rohne blushed madly. "I cannot have someone messing up our plans because she has some little crush on Heroki's husband." Rohne's eyes widened.
"What?!" She cried.
"Yes...and it's been a long time since I have killed." Kita's eyes also widened and she backed away from the two. Rohne and Elcarim just stared at each other, Rohne terrified, and Elcarim delighted to shed blood.
Elcarim grabbed a knife and cut Rohne's stomach, not as badly as when he killed Crystal, but enough to make blood pour out.
Rohne clutched her stomach. Then he pushed it in as far as it would go. Blood oozed out of Rohne's mouth. Elcarim grabbed the top of her head and made her look up at the ceiling, making her not able to breath because of the blood.
He pulled the knife out of her stomach and stuck it down her throaght. He let her fall, but made sure that she was on her back. She tried sitting up, but Elcarim stepped on her head to keep her down, then placed the knife into her chest, and used it as a sort of shovel and took out various things that were in her chest until he came to the heart.
He dug in to that slowly, but by then Rohne was almost dead because she was choking on her own blood. Elcarim pushed the knife into her heart, and she died.
"Elcarim..." Kita said, wied-eyed. "What did you do?!" Elcarim smiled and put his foot on the floor, shaking his hands to get of some of the blood.
"Are you questioning my authority?" He asked. Kita shook her head, her large eyes reminded him of a small, defenseless fawn.
"No, no Elcarim!" She cried. Elcarim grinned.
"I think you are." He said, then walked over to her and ran his hands through her soft, black hair, getting blood on her face and in her hair. "Pity." He whispered in her ear. "Too bad I have to kill you, you're so beautiful."
His head turned towards her, and he hungrily kissed her soft lips. Kita kissed back, hoping that maybe he had some kind of feelings of her, maybe he would let her live if she...
Kita put her hands on his cheeks, and he wrapped his arms around her, the knife still in one of his bloody hands. She slowly led him to her bedroom, then pulled him on top of her on the bed. She felt mostly horror, but there was a little bit of desire. She was not a virgin, and she knew what she wanted.
But she waited for him to make the first move. If he didn't want her, then he might get angry that she tried to get him to do it or that he was disgusted because she thought she could have him.
He ran his cold hand up her shirt, and Kita felt a wave of pleasure run through her body. Maybe she would live...maybe...

Kita ran one hand over her cheek and the other held onto Elcarim's hand which was wrapped around her. She was in the bath with Elcarim, and she found that he wanted the same as she did.
But she wasn't free yet. When all of their clothes had been removed, Elcarim had placed the knife next to the bed, and now it was on the floor next to the bath. Kita thought of grabbing the knife and trying to kill Elcarim, but then he would only be enraged and just kill her. If he loved her like she loved him, then she might live.
"Hm...Kita..." Elcarim hummed. Kita looked at him and smiled as sweetly and calmly as she could.
"Yes, Elcarim?" He smiled.
"I'm debating over killing you or not. You've definetely proved yourself worthy in the bedroom." Kita's eyes widened slightly, then she smiled and purred lightly.
"Hm...yes..." She said, then kissed him lightly, but this time his hand didn't go around her, and she felt a terrible pain in her back.
"But I can't take any chances." He said. Blood filtered the water as Kita's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, a trickle of blood escaped the corner of her mouth, but not nearly as much blood as Rohne had let out.
Elcarim smiled and kissed her, tasting the copper-like taste that was on her lips.
He had plans for Kita, and after he was through with her, he had another woman to kill. Heroki.


a/n- okee dokee....now for Heroki... Okay well I'm sorry. I'm a terrible horror writer. But this is (or at least I think) the only part where someone gets killed all...ickily...haha...well please review!
