Claimer: The Ki Suppresser Collar




Trunks kicked and punched Vegeta in his weakened state. Trunks kicked Vegeta in the ribs, sending him crashing into a distant mud puddle. Vegeta powered down, unable to hold his previous form. Trunks walked over to Vegeta with a smirk, intent on finishing this match. Goku awoke slightly to see the teen towering over the fallen prince, but he was unable to do anything to help. Or could he? Goku mustered the last of his energy and focused it.

"Kame..."

~*~*~

"Ah! Look at the roof! It's trashed!" Bulma screeched and walked thought the waterlogged house.

A low grunt came from underneath the rubble and something shifted in the darkness.

"Look over there." Videl pointed and ran over to it. "GOHAN! Oh Kami! "

"Videl...*cough cough*...where's...Bulma?"

"I'm right here, just hold on. Chichi went to get the senzu beans. "

"No... you have to stop him..."

"Who? The attacker !?!" Videl asked confused.

"He's no attacker...that's Trunks out there."

The words seemed to pierce the woman's heart. Trunks was alive!

"Listen...he's changed...but I think...you can help...." Gohan choked. "Hurry...I sense Vegeta's...ki dropping."

Bulma shook herself out of the shock and bolted to the door. Bulma almost broke her own neck as she stumbled into the doorway, taking in the scene before her. There he was. Standing there with his toned arm extended ready to kill her husband and a mangled Goku in the distance.

~*~*~

Vegeta laid back first onto the ground, paralyzed but awake. Trunks brought up his boot and crashed it down onto Vegeta's sternum. He screamed out and choked in the moist air. Trunks slowly began to power down. Trunks' very long, lavender hair fell to his shoulders and is ultramarine eyes returned. Vegeta stared wide-eyed at the boy that looked exactly like him. It was him. It was Trunks. His only son had beaten him into the ground and was an inch away from killing him. A wicked smile spread over Trunks dirty face as he extended his palm. Vegeta tried to mouth the words but they never came due to the lack of air. The light formed and swirled in the palm, ready to blow at any second. That's when it happened.

"TRUNKS! STOP! DON'T !" she cried.

Trunks' head shot around to see a cerulean haired woman standing near the house with wet and pleading eyes.

"I-it's her. The woman in my dream." Trunks breathed in a barely audible voice.

His hand was still extended but all of his attention was on Bulma.

"Great. Now what?" Bulma thought, as everything seemed to stay still. "Look, you don't have to do this. You are a good person, I know it. Um..."

Her eyes darted from her rebel son and injured husband. Trunks caught her eyes and scowled darkly.

"No! This is a trick! You're just trying to save him!!" Trunks hissed and put more force on Vegeta's ribs, causing him to yell out.

"Trunks, I'm not trying to trick you. I just want to help you. Believe me."

Trunks didn't know why but he dropped his defenses for a brief moment to give this Earthling a chance. Trunks calm features shifted to anger as he felt some energy rise not to far away.

"This was a trick!! That lying bitch!!" Trunks thought as prepared to blast Bulma six ways to hell.

"...HAAAA!"

The Kamehameha Wave shot from Goku's palms and speeds toward Trunks. The demi saiyajin turned and countered Goku's blast with his own energy attack.

"You should have known better than that." Trunks scoffed and was beginning to over power the beam.

A bright light grabbed Trunks' attention that came from under him. Trunks had nowhere to go, it was too late.

"FINAL FLASH! YAAAH!"

Vegeta's ki blast was more powerful than Trunks could sustain. The force pushed Vegeta deeper into the mud and lifted Trunks off the ground.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Trunks soon lost his own grip on his ki and Goku's beam smashed into him as well. The double energies burned his lightly tanned flesh and blasted him into the air, sending him crashing down a few miles away. Trunks choked up blood and gasped intensely. He balled up slightly as the rain drizzled down on him. The loss of blood made him light headed and he finally blacked out.

Vegeta laid back into the earth as he saw his son land somewhere in the near woods. It truly hurt him to blast his son to the next dimension but Trunks out of control. Bulma ran over and held up Vegeta's head in her hands.

"Vegeta, are you alright?" Bulma cried, her tears flowing freely on the count that her son almost killed her and her mate blasted their child.

"I thought I told you to stay in the house." Vegeta spat, wincing of his crushed bones.

"Since when did I ever listen to you?" Bulma sniffed and a small smile crept into her face. " Can you believe it? That was really Trunks, after all of those years. He's changed a lot."

"Yes, the boy has changed. He has forgotten where he is from." Vegeta sighed and closed his eyes.

"But wait, he hasn't forgotten me." Bulma realized. "Trunks could have easily destroyed me but he let down his defenses for a moment. He could have killed you all and everyone else if I hadn't stopped him."

"Please, woman. I had everything under control."

"Right. If me and Goku...Goku! I hope he's alright."

"I'm A-okay." Goku laughed and place a hand on Bulma's shoulder. "But Vegeta sure isn't. Here."

Goku gave Bulma the senzu bean that Gohan had given him just now. Bulma gave Vegeta the senzu and his injuries were all healed over. He sprang up from the ground just as Gohan came over.

"Gohan, did everyone else get a senzu bean?" Goku asked.

"We hit a little snag with that. We gave the last senzu bean to Vegeta." Gohan said. "So I was thinking that we could take everyone else up to the Lookout for Dende to heal them and to get some more beans from Korin."

"Good thinking, son. Are you coming to help Vegeta?" Goku asked taking to the air.

"I have another concern that doesn't involve those weaklings." Vegeta turned and took off to where Trunks landed.

"But we need more help than just the two of us." Gohan said.

"I think we have enough, now." Goku said as Piccolo flew over to them. "Piccolo, we.."

"I already know Goku. We have to move quickly. Everyone's ki is dangerously low."

The two Sons nodded and powered up a little.

"Hold up, I can help too." Videl said as he came from the house.

"Yeah, come on."

The four warriors took off in different directions in search for the rest of the Z-Warriors.

~*~*~

Vegeta traced Trunks' low ki to the brush about a mile away. His white boots hover over the blood stained mud and lightly touched down near the heap of skin. Vegeta watched him for a moment before crouching down beside the teenager. Vegeta uncoiled Trunks body and scanned him over for the not- so-obvious injuries.

The blasts had broken all of his ribs, ripped his back injury open a few more inches, and left very deep gashes all over. Vegeta's eyes came upon a strange collar around his son's neck but then Trunks' twisted tail caught his attention. It was only dislocated not broken. The prince took Trunks' tail and popped it back into socket. The demi-saiyajin let out a small cry as his face twisted with pain then relaxed.

Vegeta brought his arm around Trunks' back and lifted the surprisingly light teen, gently off the ground. The full saiyajin powered up and headed toward Capsule Corp. When Vegeta landed in the dug up yard, the rain had stopped and the servant bots where removing the rubble from the house. Vegeta moved swiftly to the medical wing.

"It's true. Trunks is alive." Bulma said to Chichi with a bright smile.

"This is the same Trunks that we all know and love that is mysteriously back from the grave and tried to kill my family and yours! I don't believe it. "

Just then, Vegeta came in with Trunks in his strong arms.

"Come on woman, before he bleeds to death." Vegeta scowled as Bulma went to work with the rejuvenation chamber.

Vegeta placed Trunks down on one of the medical beds as Chichi went to check on the chibi's. Bulma typed in the codes and the door unhooked from its locks very slowly. Vegeta didn't wait for the door to open all the way, instead he pulled the door open, nearly ripping it off, and hooked Trunks up.

"He's in." Vegeta's gravelly voice said as the door closed back.

The pod filled with a thick, blue liquid and let off a low hum as the healing process began. Bulma sighed and stood in front of the chamber, watching her son. She giggled to herself, noticing Trunks was carrying the same scowl as Vegeta was now. He had grown up a lot since she has last seen him. Her seven year old boy was now sixteen and from the looks of battle, very strong indeed.

Bulma noticed Vegeta's scowl had shifted to the closest thing to a smile he could do, a smirk. He was also proud of his son's strength and skill. Even though he was a little pissed that Trunks had damaged his pride, he was truly impressed that his son became a strong saiyajin warrior like himself. Truly worthy of the title of "the super elite" or "saiyajin prince".

"Vegeta, why don't you go take a shower. This could take awhile." Bulma said pulling up a chair.

Usually, Vegeta would have started an argument about the woman telling him what to do but he preferred not to smell at that moment. Vegeta grunted in response and went upstairs to shower.

The time seemed to pass quickly as Bulma busied herself with a small project. The pod drained and glowed red, signaling the process was complete.

'Hn. Where am I?' Trunks thought as he found himself in the warmth of the rejuvenation chamber. 'Damn, Frieza must have come and took me back.'

Trunks squinted as the light came into the view. Bulma stepped into view as Trunks sexy blue eyes focused.

~*~*~

The newly healed Z-Warriors landed in the yard. They came into the capsule house where they found Chichi and the others in the living room.

"Goku! What did I tell you about fighting!?! You nearly got yourself killed, again and to make it worst you dragged our little boys into it. What do you have to say for yourself!?!" Chichi shrieked and put her fists on her hips.

"Mum, we where only."

"Goten! Don't talk back to you mother! That's extra studying for you mister!" Chichi yelled. "I'm waiting Goku!"

"Um."

Just then, Vegeta came downstairs re-dressed in new sleeveless training suit. "Kakarot."

"Vegeta! Great! Did you bring Trunks here?" Goku asked happily, getting out of the wrath of Chichi.

"As a matter of fact, I did. He should be getting out of the rejuvenation chamber now." Vegeta said over his shoulder as he went down the medical lab.

"Trunks? Huh? What do you mean dad?" Goten asked.

"Well Goten, the kid we where fight was none other that Trunks. Looks like I King Kai was way wrong. Heehee."

Everyone who didn't know, sweat dropped and did anime style falls.

~*~*~

"Trunks can you hear me?" Bulma asked lightly as her face meet with her son's.

His blank expression shifted to a warm smile. He pulled himself up slowly taking in his surrounding and stretched his tail out, letting it whip freely.

"Now isn't that better, are you ok?" Bulma asked as she turned her back to shut down the chamber.

"I am..." Trunks began calmly.

A quick brush of wind lifted Bulma's hair as soft steel consumed her neck, lifting her feet about a foot and a half off the ground.

"But you won't be.." Trunks rammed Bulma into the wall, leaving a body shaped print and knocked the air out of her.

"Alright, bitch! Talk!"
