A Son's Plea
Vegita stood over the broken body of Piccolo, he was a mess, his right hand was smashed to pieces, his right leg was missing below the knee, his head was totally smashed in. Vegita reached down and grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him up on to his remaining foot.
"Oh no you don't, you don't die on me just yet," said Vegita. He slapped Piccolo across the face and he slowly came around. "Ah there we go, I thought you had a little more fire in you. You use to be a lot tougher then this, but I guess I am just too much for you." He laughed at the misery that he was causing Piccolo.
Piccolo who was barely conscious and was half blind as his left eye was totally smashed. All he could barely manage to do is gurgle some incoherent garble. He tried so hard to gain some energy but the quick beating he had taken had zapped all the energy in just defending the attack. Now he was in a lot of trouble.
"So you are the guardian of this pathetic planet, I guess you can say that all things come to an end even this place," said Vegita. He let go of Piccolo, as he fell Vegita gave him a swift front kick right into his stomach. Piccolo went flying into the air, Vegita appeared above Piccolo and axe chopped him across the chest. Piccolo went shooting back to the ground with enormous impact. Now Piccolo was unconscious and barely breathing.
"I guess this completes my warm up," said Vegita. "I have to say that it was fun pounding you but now I think I have to end this." He powered up his ki, and formed his hand into a stop hand signal. He aimed it at the bloodied Piccolo.
"Now be gone from my sight you lousy excuse for a guardian," screamed Vegita. He unleashed his Big Bang Attack towards the ground.
A blur of motion caught Vegita's eye, and as he watched his ki attack zoom towards the ground, the blur moved over Piccolo and they both disappeared from Vegita's sight. The Ki attack struck nothing but the earth, the explosion was enormous as it engulfed several of the surrounding mountains and the huge forests at their bases. Fires were blazing all over the place; these once peaceful mountains were now nothing but a war zone.
"Who did that," screamed Vegita? He scanned the area with his mind, but the energy from the blast was blocking him and he couldn't sense who was out there. "Whoever you are you're dead," screamed Vegita.
Trunks leaned against the rocks and looked to where his father was standing. The man that he once respected was now on an insane rampage. Trunks looked over to where Piccolo was leaning against the rocks, he had been beaten up pretty badly. He needed to get him to Dende soon or he would be dead, but he couldn't leave without his father plus if he tried Vegita would spot them in a sec and Trunks couldn't fight him with the Namek on his back.
Trunks hair had turned back to the mix of purple and red from the wound he had earlier. His mind was racing, Vegita had not detected him yet but he knew that wouldn't last.
"I guess, I had better get up there and fight him," said Trunks. He reluctantly got to his feet and transformed back into a Super Saiyan. "I don't know what good this will do against a level 2 but I got to stop him. Piccolo hold on Goku will have felt that blast and be on his way," said Trunks.
"SO, you are the one who wrecked my fun by stealing my training dummy," said Vegita. His face had a methodical smile on it.
"He is not a training dummy, he is a warrior too," said Trunks. " He helped teach me and Goten how to fight Buu. He is Goku's and Gohan's friend, I can't just let him die out here." Trunks floated up towards where his father.
"Dad, why are you doing this," said Trunks? The rain shifted suddenly from a wild furry to a drizzling downpour. "I thought you liked these guys and this planet."
"I never really liked this place, these humans are so weak and they think that they are the best thing in the universe," said Vegita. "The only reason they still exist is because of us Saiyans and our bizarre habit of saving them from obliteration."
"Dad, the human's are a good people, I mean mommy is one and so are some of the defenders of the Earth," said Trunks.
At the mention of Bulma, Vegita's smile disappeared and an angry face appeared. "These humans are the reason I have lost my pride and my honor," said Vegita. "My father told me in a dream that I was a failure because of this planet and these people. He stripped me of my honor, and left me a shell of my former self." The air grew cold as Vegita began to become angrier. "This planet has weakened me and I will not let that happen, I will remove all obstacles in my path, become the strongest warrior in the universe, and purge myself of this human side that I have developed here."
"Dad, you can't do that," said Trunks. "This planet is our home, I am your son. We live here and we were happy here."
"You are no son of mine, you human. The thought of my blood tainted with human is ghastly. I just realized it now," said Vegita. "I am a Saiyan and I live to conquer and destroy all that do not bow down to me, and I will start my new reign with this planet."
"DAD, stop this," screamed Trunks. The tears were rolling down his cheeks. He couldn't let this happen, he had to stop his father. "I can't let you do this Dad."
Vegita disappeared and appeared right in front of Trunks, he grabbed his shirt and pulled him face to face. "And what are you going to do about it," said Vegita?
Trunks flew a flying knee right into his Dad's jaw. This sent Vegita back a few feet. He grabbed his mouth and held it their in pain for a few seconds. Vegita, then put his hands down to a fighting stance, he spat some blood that had protruded from his mouth.
"Big mistake, sonny boy," said Vegita. He zanaoukened behind Trunks and grabbed his arms and held them behind his back. "I am going to have to teach you to respect the ruler of this Universe," Vegita whispered into his ears. Trunks went wide-eyed with fear. Vegita threw his son forward and gave him a flying double-footed dropkick to the face.
Trunks went sailing down the mountainside, with Vegita right after him. Trunks quickly flipped around and fired off a one-handed ki blast. Vegita easily blocked this attack, but was unable to block Trunks, as he appeared above him in mid distraction. Trunks right fist connected with Vegita's face. Vegita went crashing into the mountain and stopped about half way.
Trunks stood there in mid-air gasping his breath and holding his cheek where he had been kicked. "Now dad, do you want to stop this and come home to mom," said Trunks, as he stared into the hole?
A beam of light appeared at the end of the blackness, it shot forward at Trunks like a bullet. Trunks barely dodged the ki attack. "Phew that was clo…Oh Shit," said Trunks. Vegita was right there and he threw a hard left punch into Trunks' chest, Trunks bent over gasping for air. Vegita did not let him get his air back; he gave Trunks a spinning kick to the side of the head. Trunks went screaming into the ground like a meteor.
He hit back first against the ground, with Vegita landing with a knee strike to his mid section right after him. Trunks screamed in agony as his rib bones cracked and smashed under the pressure. Vegita stood up over Trunks and looked at him.
"Now you were saying something about stopping me," said Vegita? He laughed at his son's misery.
"Dad I love you, please stop this and come home," pleaded Trunks. "Me and mom really do love you, and we want to help you."
"Love," said Vegita. "What does love got to do with this, this is about honor, respect and my pride. You don't get it love makes a warrior weak, and it has made you weak. Now that I have shed the love I had for you and your mother, I have realized my true potential. I will be the greatest fighter in the universe." Vegita stepped on Trunks' chest and pressed down causing Trunks to cough up blood and for him to scream in agony.
The rain was falling on Trunks is face as it washed the blood of his face and down to the ground. His golden hair turned back to the lavender purple as it became soaked in the puddle of blood that had formed around his head. Trunks screamed and coughed, as his last bit of energy was leaving him.
Vegita just laughed and pressed harder on his son.
Bulma sat at her dining room table, she had a tea in front of her but she had barely taken a sip.
"Bulma, is there anything else I can do," asked Gohan? He was leaning against the wall waiting for his mother to get here so he could go help Vegita.
"No, thank you Gohan," said Bulma. She hadn't moved she just stared at the mug her eyes dripping tears.
Gohan went to the window and looked out into the rain, a horrible night to be out in. Gohan could sense the fighting off in the distance. He dared not tell Bulma that Vegita and Trunks were fighting, he was scared that she would go out there and get hurt. Now it looked as if Trunks' energy was quickly fading. Come on Mom get here, I got to go help Trunks before he dies, thought Gohan.
"Gohan, what is wrong," asked Bulma?
"Oh, nothing Bulma," said Gohan, lying right to her face.
"GOHAN, don't toy with me, what is wrong," said Bulma, her face now very angry?
"Umm, Vegita and Trunks are fighting," said Gohan very quietly.
Bulma's heart sank, her son and husband battling to the death out in this storm, and she couldn't do anything to stop it. "Gohan, who is winning," she asked hopefully?
"Vegita," said Gohan very sadly.
Bulma's eyes wept with tears. Her son was dying out there and she couldn't stop it. She buried her head in her arms and leaned over the table knocking the tea onto the floor, smashing the cup.
Gohan quickly cleaned it up and put the glass in the container. When he was finished that, he saw the running lights of an air car landing outside.
ChiChi ran into the house to see Gohan standing over Bulma, with his arm around her trying to console her. "What is going on here," she asked?
"Vegita and Trunks are fighting, and Trunks is losing badly," said Gohan. "I have to go and help him, my dad and I are probably the only ones that can stop Vegita." With that said Gohan ran out the door and shot skyward and roared off over the horizon and was out of sight in a minute.
ChiChi watched as her son went off to battle, his light vanished and he was gone. She turned around to where Bulma was sitting. ChiChi went over to the table and sat down beside Bulma. Bulma lifted her head and looked at ChiChi.
"ChiChi, tell me I have been a good wife and mother," said Bulma.
Stunned by the question, ChiChi just said the first thing that came to her mind. "You have been excellent in both," said ChiChi. "Do not think that this is your fault, its not. It's that man's fault; I always thought that he was hard to handle, and I live with Goku."
Bulma smiled for a second and looked at ChiChi. "What if he never comes back, I will never get the chance to say goodbye, or tell him that I love him, or tell him…," cut off Bulma.
"Don't worry sweetheart," said ChiChi. "You are going to see them both again and you will tell him yourself, what you were going to tell him." ChiChi looked at Bulma. Bulma was hiding something in here face, and ChiChi knew that it was big.
"Bulma, what is it," said ChiChi?
"I can't tell you, it will only make things worse," said Bulma.
"Tell me and I will judge the severity of the situation," said ChiChi.
"You are not going to like this, but I am pregnant," said Bulma. ChiChi sat there stunned and then she fell out of the chair and fainted.
