Changing of the Z world.
..
"We got to get home," Trunks said urgently.
"What's going on, daddy?" He looked down at his shy little girl, Crystal, who was holding onto his hand with a vengeance.
"I don't know," he said simply. He didn't know what was going on. The feeling was just awful. it wasn't like someone was attacking them. It didn't feel like there was someone evil attacking them, but it sure didn't feel right and the problem was, that he knew it involved his father. He knew it did. "Why don't you go to your mother? I have to get home."
But she wouldn't release his hand. She seemed to hold onto it even tighter. "No. You don't have to go. You can stay here and protect me," she said in her small voice. So, she was feeling it to. He sighed and pulled her close to him. He wasn't about to abandon her. She may be turning into a woman, he saw evidence of that all to often now, but the last thing he wanted to do was to hurt his little girl.
"Okay. I'll stay," he said even though he had such a strong urge to run towards where the odd energy was coming from.
Crystal smiled. "It is safer here, daddy."
He saw Goku race towards Goten and leave in an instant flash. Gohan, Krillin, Junior and Yamcha left not soon after. He really wanted to join them.
Pan, Bra and Marron looked at him anxiously. Raymond just looked confused. "Why did everyone leave in such a hurry?" His face fell a bit. "Nothing bad is happening again, is there?"
"I don't know," Pan said. Gem was no longer snoozing but looked rather alert and confused.
Marron chewed her lip. "Junior was sure something was wrong with his sister," Marron said and looked at him with scared eyes. "What could those two be doing?"
Trunks closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the two strong powers that he was feeling. He knew that one was his father, but he was not sure about the other, it sort of felt like Soyna. Sort of.
They wouldn't be sparing on a day like this. Not on the day of his mother funeral. plus, it didn't feel like they were sparing, it felt like they were trying to kill each other.
It couldn't be Vegeta vs Soyna. Could it?
..........
It was to late. She let the ball of energy go before the disk reached her and she was able to dodge it! The disc sliced through a tree and then disappeared.
He should have been quicker!!
The energy crashed into Vegeta with a terrible earth cracking force. Vegeta was blocking but he saw that he was pushed deep into the earth and was now at the bottom of a crater, looking as if he was out cold.
Soyna still hung in the air and she seemed to be smiling, but she was still that beast.
Goku just pulled himself out of the rubble and lunged himself at her.
"Daddy," Cyrus wheezed. "He didn't mean it."
Goku grabbed one of her arms only to have her turn the tables on him and grab his arm right back and tried to throw him back into the rubble that he started out in, but Goku hung on. He could see the pleading look on his father's face.
He lunged forward and meant to create an energy beam to slice through her tail, but was shocked to see his father coming right at him. It happened in a blink of an eye and he ended up on the muddy ground with his father on top of him.
........
Benot was frozen with horror. He couldn't believe what was happening. This stuff just wasn't right. It was all supposed to be over! Over! Long over! They defeated all those enemies and people that threatened them. There was so many in the past, why did they have to fight each other now! Couldn't they just live in peace.
He watched the monster drop from the sky into the crater that Vegeta was in. He was awake now. He could see Grandpapa trying to crawl out of the muddy bowl. He looked so horribly hurt. She stood in front of him. Vegeta didn't seem to see her until she put one of her horribly clawed feet on his hand.
Vegeta gave out a weak cry and looked up. He looked as if he had given up.
Cyrus was breathing pretty heavy. "MOMMY!" He managed to scream again and then collapsed to his knees and then in a whisper, "He didn't mean it." His skin was turning so white. He knew that he should be doing something to help his little brother, but all he could do was stare at the monster.
His mother.
He watched as Goten emerged from beneath Goku and lunged forward. A move that looked like it was pure desperation.
The monster saw it and got ready for defensive mode, still with its foot pressed firmly on Vegeta's hand. He saw that Goten wasn't going for a body shot, he was going for her tail. Isn't that what Goku was yelling at him? He wasn't too sure. But the tail was no longer attached to his mother. He didn't see how it happened but it was now in Goten's hand.
The monster let out a scream. The hair started to disappear from her and the scream turned into his mother cry as her red aura changed back into the normal green. She was back. His mother was back and she sank in the muddy earth beside Vegeta.
Cyrus started to run towards her. He stumbled and he couldn't make himself move to stop him.
The rain that covered her body, looked like it was steaming off of her. She looked as if she was burnt. Goku put his jacket quickly over her naked body as Goten looked on.
Benot blinked.
Suddenly everyone was there. Where did they come from? Goten was holding mom in his arms and she looked different. She looked as if she were burnt. like that one other time.a long time ago. she had similar burns. Cyrus had his inhaler now and was puffing on it, but he was still muddy and standing in the rain. Legen was beside him. He must have come out when he heard the commotion. Someone was helping Vegeta. It was uncle that lifted the nearly lifeless body into his arms.
Benot blinked.
Yamcha and Krillin were looking at him and saying something to him. what was he saying? He couldn't hear him. He could only hear the rain.
Flint and Flare were standing under their umbrellas and looked a little scared. Goku was trying to comfort them.
"Benot" The voice was so distant. He looked at Yamcha who had a worried look on his face. "I'm going to take you to the hospital now okay. Raymond will look at you there."
Hospital? Why would he need a hospital? But before he could ask that question, he blinked again.
..........
Cyrus didn't want to be doted on! He really didn't. The cut on his cheek wasn't that bad. So what if it needed a few stitches. It didn't hurt anymore and he didn't want to wear the damn oxygen mask either. It was annoying. He felt better now. He wanted to go see mom! He wanted to make sure that she was okay. He also wanted to make sure that Vegeta was okay. They looked like they nearly killed each other!
He hadn't seen dad since he disappeared with Raymond and uncle Junior sure wasn't being much help.
"Do you know what happened?" Junior finally asked him.
"Grandpapa was just a little sad that was all," he said. "He really didn't know what he was doing." He knew that he wouldn't have really hurt him. Well, not that much.
"What do you mean?" Junior said and looked at him confused.
"He was talking all crazy. He wanted me to have one more day with Oma. He thought that I could bring her back for him and when I told him that I don't know what he was talking about. well, he started to sound real mean." He paused for a moment and looked at the look on is uncle's face. "Do you know what grandpapa was talking about?"
"Uh," Junior said and looked away from him. Mom was right. He was a really bad liar!
"Uncle!"
"I don't think."
"What? You knew what he was talking about?" He could see it almost written all over his face. He could see it.
"Well, yeah, but I think that your mother should talk to you about that," he said with a sad look on his face.
"Grandpapa said something like, that kind of energy just doesn't disappear. What energy is he talking about?" he said and saw the comfort level of his uncle grow by a factor of 10!
"Uncle!"
"You see, Cyrus," he said and cleared his throat. "There are a lot of things that happened before you were born and I can't really explain them all that well."
"Can you give me clue?" He begged. He knew it was something big. It was something really big. He could see it in his uncle's eyes and the way that he ran his hands through his hair.
It was something big all right!
It looked as if Junior was going to budge. It looked like he cracked the surface but then, Benot who was in the other bed started to moan. He had been out cold since he arrived at the hospital. He slept through the doctors x-raying him and wrapping his chest and casting his arm. He suddenly sat upright in the bed and looked around him panicky.
"Benot?" Junior said and went to his side. "How are you feeling?"
Benot seemed to calm down at the sight of his uncle and leaned back in the bed. He examined his arm and touched his chest. He turned his head to the side and looked at him. "You okay, little guy?"
"I'm fine," he said. "How are you doing?" he asked since he seemed to be ignoring uncle.
"How did I get hurt?"
.............
It had been three days. Three long days! She had not even looked as if she was going to wake up. She looked terrible. Her whole body was covered in what looked like black charred skin, that when she did move or someone moved her, would show angry red skin underneath. She didn't even complain when she had her daily bath that would scrub away the black layer that formed. Her eyes would sometimes open, but she just was not responding. She would go right back to sleep!
He remembered vividly the last time she had this type of burn. It only affected her legs, her fingers and the tip of her nose and it went away so quickly. Of course, they had all thought it was because of the poison that was in her system that was stopping her from achieving the higher levels that she could before. They never thought that she would have turned into a ΒΌ monkey from the description that Cyrus gave them.
He sighed. Cyrus. The boy was asking so many questions now. Questions that he didn't want to answer. Questions that he had hoped would never come.
They had decided that they would not tell him that he is part of the reincarnate of the dragon. They didn't want to upset him. But then, now he wanted to know why Vegeta attacked him and what he had meant by that power like that just does not disappear!
He was too young.
Then there was Benot. He was still in the hospital, more because the doctors are worried about why he doesn't have any memory of his injury. He did. He did remember, at least in his dreams. The boy was having terrible nightmares that involved a monster chasing him. He was going home today.
And in the room down the hall, lay Vegeta. The doctors say it is a miracle that he is alive. He had shown no signs of stirring yet, but Bra vigilantly sits in the room, waiting for her father to wake.
Of course, they all wanted to hear what Vegeta had to say about the attack on Cyrus. Cyrus kept saying that he didn't mean it. But then, he didn't really understand the nature of the attack.
He didn't understand.How was he going to explain to him about the dragon?
Her rubbed his forehead and groaned.
"Son?" He looked up at his father. He looked as tired as he felt. He wasn't that hurt by Soyna. He thought it was the first time that dad's pride was hurt! "How is everything?"
"They are going to let Benot go home today. No other changes," he said and stood and was greeted by a hug from his father. He was a little stunned at first but then gladly allowed himself to lean against his father. Something, that he never remembered doing.
Mom was with him and he quickly moved his hug to her and she cooed at him like he was 5 again. He didn't complain about being treated like a child. He rather liked it for a change. Maybe because he felt so helpless right now.
"They'll wake up soon and everything will get back to normal," mom said.
He doubted that so much.
......
What will the Z world be like after they wake up? How will they tell little Cyrus about his origins? Oh? So much yet to say!
