The screams of agony got worse as he ventured forward, getting closer and
closer. Suddenly, as if someone or something possessed him, he halted,
unable to go any further. There was one last scream of agony and then
there was silence. Goten waited, trying his hardest to find out what would
cause that much agony. Being as naïve as he was, he didn't quite
understand that sounds that were coming from the large monster.
Goten, being Goten, studied the monster. It was large, blackish grayish in color. It looked like Buu but burnt up real bad. It had several tentacles all over the place and a rather large mouth. It seemed to have a face of a pale girl, but not really there, like it was blurry. Looking like it was pissed off at the universe it seemed to smirk? Goten didn't understand how he knew, he just knew. He heard; the only thing besides the monster growling was something slapping against flesh? Suddenly Trunks was flung out of the monster and he landed on the ground not too far away. Goten still couldn't move, he wanted to, to help his friend, but he couldn't move! Goten saw that Trunks was without his sword, bag, and shirt, and his back was covered in....Whip marks and what looked like...teeth and claw marks?
Suddenly Goten was flung backward and he landed near Trunks. Scrambling to his feet he helped Trunks to his feet. Half-unconscious Trunks growled something at the monster in a language that Goten didn't understand. The more he noticed Trunks speech, he seemed to speak this language better then he does normal english, or Saiyago, which is his native tongues, what he grew up on! The monster responded in the same guttel language and spat out Trunks missing items. Growling Trunks scooped them up, and leaning on Goten, made his way back to the portal to Trunks' domain.
Once there Trunks practically collapsed on his bed and Goten was stuck with trying to clean the ugly jaggered wounds....
The years passed yes, and for some reason Goten and Trunks never aged a day in their lives over twenty-five and twenty-six. Trunks explained that they were literally living in a Vortex and that they couldn't age in one. Slowly, but surely, Trunks was killing the monster that had taken one, in thousands of A/U's, his future mate. He wanted to live long enough to except that mate. He was working with highly dangerous poisons and Toxins, and with the microchip he took from his mother, it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy the monster. Goten suddenly felt his collar tighten dramatically and automatically headed for the door, unaware that Trunks was not following him. When Goten reached the other side, totally unarmed, he was shocked when Baka swallowed him whole, alone too!
Goten stood, somehow in a different dimension. Looking around he spotted Trunks.
"Trunks! How did you get here?" Goten asked, curious as to how his best friend had gotten here. Suddenly several large creatures attacked him, fighting back with Ki blasts he still had no chance against the monster that was before him.
"You do not know me, child," The "Trunks" before him spoke at the slimy creatures tied his hands in chains that hung above his head. "I am Bodjimradoereme, or, Baka if you prefer. You human half breeds always did have simple minds." The creature suddenly changed and Pan appeared in the flesh, holding a jagged looking whip in one hand and a whistle in the other. Blowing one clear note on the whistle, the torture session began...
Trunks could hear the screams all the way through the portal. Suddenly noticing that Goten was gone, Trunks cursed and pulled the newly finished machine off the lab table and grabbed several things, this would be the day the two left everything behind here. Trunks would escape, but how he wasn't quite sure just yet, like his mother he would figure it out when they came to that bridge. Trunks threw several spare capsules in his subspace bag along with most of his weapons. He wasn't sure what he would come across in the Vortex he was going to, and he wanted to be prepared.
If Trunks guessed right, Goten was inside Baka, meaning however long those screams had started, he guessed that He'd been inside Baka, with her, for a good month or so. Time passed in that monster so fast that it was like the hyperbolic time chamber, just a day or so behind. Racing toward the portal he soon found himself before the monster that had caused him a lot of pain, and not just physically either.
Trunks raced forward before Baka could freeze him with its mind and stabbed it directly in the head, or what he thought to be the head. Screaming in pain Trunks injected the needle filled poison into the monster's body as it spit Goten out. Goten of course was missing his shirt and his back was covered in blood, not a good thing. Growling, Trunks pulled out a sensu bean; his very last, and handed it to Goten. Goten reluctantly ate it, as if he didn't quite trust Trunks, 'You'll just have to get over it Goten,' Trunks thought to himself as the monster began to swell. Quickly pulling out his sword he cut an arch and grabbed Goten, making sure it was the right Vortex he had opened, and threw him though, following soon after. Just before the rift closed up he heard the monster shirk in agony then explode into a million pieces.
They spent weeks in the Vortex, Goten soon getting over his mistrust after he had heard the tails of Trunks in the Vortex of hell as he called it. After about four months, or so they gathered in Earth time, the appeared on earth in the desert areas. Goten suddenly shuddered.
"Goten, you okay?" Trunks asked, rising his Ki a bit to ward off the cold.
"I just thought of what mom is gonna do when she finds out just what in the hell happened." Goten mumbled, over the years, even though Goten was now formally Twenty-five, as was Trunks but a year older. They still had to explain what happened when they had left for ten years, for Trunks it had been closer to twenty years, including the time he had spent getting the shit beat outta him. Frowning Trunks looked around,
"Suppress your Ki, we don't want to alert anyone where here yet. Even though we both kept up with our studies, we need to come up with a plan. I sure as hell am not gonna tell mum about what happened. What we've been through, and I'm not even gonna go into detail of what happened in that monster's vortex, it'd be like telling a child, a virgin child that kinda stuff." Goten slowly nodded his head in agreement. Not only had they kept up their studies, they had also kept up with their training.
"What are we gonna do when they find out were killers?" Goten asked suddenly, worried about all the times Baka had possessed their bodies against their will and gone out on destruction sprees. The monster was very good at telepathic attacks.
"That wasn't our fault! Even though we were not physically aware of it, we were mentally. The long periods of blackouts that we couldn't explain and the blood, that was the monsters fault, not ours!" Trunks defended himself, he Ki rising a bit in anger, he quickly suppressed it again,
"What are we gonna do?" Goten actually whined,
"First of all, I'm gonna punch you for whining! You know what I said about that!" Goten didn't have time to dodge the flying fist. Before he knew it he was on the ground staring at Trunks' back. This was a normal occurrence so Goten pretty much ignored it and got to his feet.
"What are we gonna tell them?" Goten asked, turning suddenly around, Trunks drew his sword and glowered at the man behind Goten,
"How about the truth?" the deadly calm voice said, Goten froze...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A cliffy, I'm sorry, but I just had to do this. Look, I know this is a really crappy story so far, anyway, this is mostly about how Trunks will deal with everyone trying to figure out what happened to him and how he deals with his feelings. Will he ever be back to his normal self? Will he ever fall in love with Pan? Who is the person behind them? Find out in the next chapter!
