For miles and miles around, nothing but black earth, and rotting, decaying
buildings stood. Nothing at all. The land was barren now. Decades or so ago
it was filled with lush rivers and forest that were so vast; you couldn't
see the end even if you were in the air. Now, now there was dried, gushy
swamps filled with black sewage water that had been storing up over the
past. Now there were carcasses of dead trees.
"Gohan, I can help right?" A young Trunks asked as he flew through the sky with the now Super Saiya-jin Gohan.
"Sure thing Trunks," Gohan said as he watched the ground.
"Déjà vu." Trunk muttered to himself. "Oh, right, I'm reliving the day Gohan died. I can't let him fool me into being knocked out again." He nodded, "Keep my senses acute, and everything will be alright."
They stopped near the fair, or the old fair that had come before most of the people died or moved out of the town. "Trunks," Gohan said softly. "Sorry."
"What?" Trunks asked, 'Oh, right,' He blocked his friends punch to his stomach, but fell to the floor from the force. Gohan flew off.
Trunks stood and shook himself off, then took flight after Gohan.

Skipping, Lita took her seat next to her mother and father. "Mommy, nothing bad ever happens on subways. right?"
"Hardly ever, Lita, don't worry, you're safe." Her mother and father smiled at her.
"Good." She said, smiling back at them.
The subway took off, the ride seemed as if it were going to be a pleasant one, but it wasn't to be.
The lights flicked slightly, and the subway slowed just a bit, but then continued as if nothing happened.
The passengers looked around worried. "Sorry about that folk," a voice came from over an intercom. "We're have a bit of a problem with the track power down here, please take a seat, whether it be in a bench or on the floor, we need everyone seated."
Lita's mother looked over at her father nervously. They scooted over for others to sit.
~*~
He remained hidden until it looked as if Gohan really needed the help. Then he sprung up. 18 was flying at Gohan, quickly, Gohan began to form a ki blast when he spotted Trunks. He dropped his hands. "Get out of-" 18 hit him in the diaphragm, he grunted and began a quick fall to the ground. Trunks' eyes opened widely.
"Gohan! Stop you're fall!"
There was a thud, followed by a snap. 'No, he's still alive, he's just knocked out.' Trunks cursed himself.
"Oh, thanks Trunks." 18 said with a smirk, "You helped me knock him out. Now I'm gonna kill him in front of you. Ready." she began to gather energy into a ki blast. "One. two. --"
Trunks charged at her, getting ready to hit her in the neck, and hopefully to snap it. She fired her ki blast, it hit him and he fell to the ground. He fell onto his back, his vision was fading. Two figures towered over him. 'I can't do this.' he looked over at Gohan, 'I can't feel his ki any more. I didn't do it.'
"I just want to go back!" He shouted into the air.
The androids laughed. "It's a little late for tha-" they froze, and Trunks disappeared before them.
He knew things were different for the worst in that way. There was no possible way he could live this time, and he wouldn't turn super like he had before. No, this wasn't the way things were supposed to be.
~*~
It became dark, then, there was a flash, and lights were coming from the back of the subway. Lita's father scooted towards the window to look as Lita's mother pulled Lita close to her body. Her grandmother stood, "What is that horrible screeching noise." she muttered, walking close to the back of the car. The light went out.
Suddenly, red sparks were in the air, and blue sparks came up from the tracks. Lita could hear screams. "Hurry," a man shouted, get out of the car and up on that platform over there!" Lita was pushed into the crowd of people running for the platform.
"Mommy!" she cried.
She was lifted up onto the platform, she saw her mother coming. "Lita, get out of here!" the subway was beginning to fill with smoke. A man she didn't know picked her up and dragged her out of the platform.
"MOMMY!"
~*~
The door opened and Trunks walked out, his forehead was scratched, and his hair was a mess. He didn't say anything, but sat down far away from Gohan and his little brother.
"Lita will be here soon." Setsuna muttered quietly.
~*~
There was an explosion. Her eyes couldn't help but water as the man pulled her into a building then down a flight of stairs to the basement. "Stay here." He said, then left.
But she didn't stay, she heard fire engines racing down the road, screaming, crying, shouting, and the crackle of fire and metal landing on cars and into the roofs of buildings.
Then all became quiet, a little fairy popped in front of her. "Jupiter. don't cry, you're the kick ass senshi! What doesn't kill you. only makes you fight harder."
Lita's eyes were wide.
"I'm sorry princess, but you have failed." The fairy disappeared, and Lita was standing in front of two huge doors, she opened it, and walked through.
"Setsuna. it didn't work." The thought of the fairy left Lita's mind.
"It wasn't supposed to."
"WHAT?" all three children shouted angrily.
"You set us up?" Gohan shouted. "You set us up for more misery?"
"Yes, but you don't understand why yet!"
~*~
An aching, longing feeling. Revenge, Omni-present death, human corruption, all these feelings welling within, waiting to be released.
Waiting to be let out, as they should have been. For these feelings, Revenge, the Omni-present death, human corruption, fear cannot be harbored in one host body alone. Slowly, it kills. Slowly, it maddens. Slowly, it becomes more and more hateful.
But still, slowly it will go away. Leaving the host of the feelings with a clean spirit and a light heart.
But if the feeling stays too long, too deep within it can only corrupt the heart and mind. Selfish crimes are committed. Loved ones are hurt. Relationships are broken. Families are broken. Hearts are broken.
Wonderful crimes are committed, breaking young souls and minds. Teasing the life out of children. Playing with innocence. Claiming pure hearts and minds to unclean things. It's seen all over this dying world.
But innocence never lasts. No matter how hard and how well kept it is. Dirty jokes, ugly movies. innocence cannot remain.
Protect it as long as you can, but you need to be woken up in the end. For innocence is a state of mind, it can be lived in, but it can never be real.
I am merely showing you children the beginnings of the ugliness in the world. There is no way you can survive so pure, no matter how much I wish it were so.
Live.

Oook, Yea, I know, its confusing. If you haven't gotten it yet, I'm afriad I must give it to you. The whole thing with the path and the omni-present death and all that, that's Setsuna. I don't think I made that clear. Its her thinking to herself. Yea, I know.
Ok, now let me apologize for the horrible month where I've been dead, I'm sorry, I don't know where I've been!
But to ensure you don't miss any more of my not so often updates, leave your email and let me know you want me to email you when I update, and I'll let you know. ^^;
OK REVIEW! Ta!
