Chapter 6
Trunks's Wish
Trunks had been gone for a long time Bulma had long sense cleaned the kitchen and her lab. She had something to do but she could not bring her self to do it. She was undecided at the moment on what to do with Vegeta now that she had reactivated him. She would have to talk to Trunks more on that subject. She had to finish her story truly before anything could be done. She was almost done just a few more lies to uncover and then she could get on with her life. Or what was left of it when this was all over.
Bulma was on her way to the living room when she heard that tell tale sound of Gokou's Instant Transmition. He startled everyone else when he did this but not her. She was more spiritually aware then she let on and she could tell when he was coming out of space and time. So nine times out of ten he would fail in his little game to spook everyone.
He had yet to say anything to her so without turning she greeted him hello. When there was no response except a hard fall to the floor Bulma turned sharply hoping maybe to spook him as she felt he was still trying to do the same to her. The sight that stood before her turned her call of surprise into a shrill scream of shocked terror; there was blood all over the place. Gokou lay there passed out with a mangled form wrapped in his arms. Quickly Bulma rushed to him calling for her servant bots while checking for vital signs within both beings. Gokou's weak but much stronger then the form in his arms. She didn't recognize who it was but no matter who it was they needed medical attention and fast.
***Two hours later***
Bulma was asleep with her head resting upon Gokou's Regeneration tank. The slight beeping awakened her signaling that he is completely healed and ready to be released. As quick as she could she drained the tank before Gokou blew it all to hell. He was looking pissed and confused at the same time. Ripping the mask from his face he stepped his naked body out of the regeneration tank and before Bulma could ask any questions he was walking over to the second regeneration tank and looking in to check on the unknown mans injuries.
Bulma rushed over to him with a million questions about to erupt from her mouth. That is until she sees the figure in the regeneration tank. When she had put him in there he had no skin left and his bones were all broken, it was a shear miracle that he was even still breathing. But with two hours of regeneration the unidentified being became very recognizable in an instant. It was Yamcha. "Oh my god Gokou, what the hell happened?" was the only thing she could think of. Turning Gokou faces her and utters only one word. A name. "Trunks."
The name rings loud and clear in her mind and she can't believe what she is hearing. "No there must be some mistake why would trunks ever heart you Gokou? More importantly how could he ever heart you?" she asks confused.
Gokou paces back and forth trying to peace it all together him self. Before answering her. "It wasn't me he was after. It was Yamcha and he caught us off guard, I didn't think anything of it as he came towards us, we were golfing and we thought he had come to join us. It wasn't until the last minute that I saw his eyes I knew something was wrong. Yamcha never even saw it coming he was teeing off at the very moment Trunks let loose with an energy wave that was strong enough to level the whole eighteen holes and then some. I felt nothing he wasn't even Super Sayian. Just one minute he was at normal then in an instant he was red hot. I had no time to react it caught us dead. The blast knocked me silly. I was dazed heavily and I think Yamcha was as well. I know he was still conscious when trunks got to him because that's all I could hear were his screams of agony as Trunks tore him apart. It al happened in less then a minute and then he was gone and Yamcha was laying motionless on the tore up earth I had no choice but to come here Bulma you are the only one on earth with Regeneration tanks and he would of died for sure if I would of taken him to a hospital. I have to go find him Bulma before he hurts anyone else."
His last statement sent waves of fear through her, she couldn't let him do that she had to stop him. If he went after trunks right now he would fight him and she knew what would happen if that happened.
"Wait Gokou please hear me out."
"What wrong Bulma make it fast I can feel him close by."
Breathing a deep breath she looks back at the still mangled body of Yamcha and a hate fills her that she had thought she had long sense gotten rid of. "I understand Gokou and I'm sorry for my sons actions. Before you go after him cause I know you will you have to listen to me. Trunks is not stable at the moment, I told him the Truth about Vegeta and I think that it was too much for him. Please Gokou don't hurt him. Let him just cool down. Please I'm begging you."
Gokou shakes his head and brings his fingers to his forehead. " I can't do that Bulma I have to go to him before another innocent is hurt."
Those words infuriate her and before she even realizes what she is doing her mouth is flying off at the handle a mile a minute. "Yamcha is not an Innocent Gokou! He's the scum of the earth and if it wasn't for the fact that he is your friend Gokou I would of done the same thing to him long ago! That bastard raped me and laughed about it the next day! Don't you ever even think about considering him an innocent!"
Gokou's expression was that of total shock. Forever reason that had gone through his mind as he tried to figure out why Trunks had done what he did that one would never have crossed his mind in a million years. He was devastated. His best friend had been raped by one of his closest. "How could this have happened" he thought to him self. "Why didn't you tell anyone? Why didn't you tell me!?! We have always told each other everything Bulma."
Her response was slow and timid. "I was scared Gokou. Who could I tell? You? My parents? The police? I couldn't tell anyone Bulma Briefs the richest girl in the world was raped because she wasn't putting out for a man she had dated for years. I was saving my self for marriage and he couldn't wait and as a result of his act brutality Trunks was born. Don't ask me to explain it Gokou please don't. Just know that I told Trunks what he did to me and I knew this might happen. But I stopped caring for that man a long time ago. If I had recognized him when you arrived and passed out I would of let him die right there where he fell and had my robots burn the remains to rid my self of the evidence." Her fury is unparallel with anyone's he has seen in a long time. And he can't blame her. She has every right to be pissed for what Yamcha did.
Suddenly he was no longer interested in Trunks in the slightest, only in the sadness that lurks behind his best friends eye's in an instant she is wrapped in his strong arms and it dose not take much longer for her words of molten fury to turn into tears of pent up sorrow from a nightmare long sense past but never forgotten.
Her tears trigger something in him that hasn't been triggered in him in over six years. His furry. Unbridled furry at the one who hurt her and contempt at him self for never seeing it. It is now crystal clear why trunks did what he did and he can no longer blame him. He barley even feels him self letting go and slipping into Super Sayian nor does he notice the Ki that is gathering in his left hand aimed at the Regeneration tank.
Bulma sees it coming and just watches, transfixed in the golden light. A part of her can't wait for Gokou to fire, a very large part. But deep down there was a little voice shouting for her not to let it happen, for as quite as that voice spoke though it seemed to ring out loud and clear in her eyes and that was the only thing Gokou was watching as he suddenly began to realize what he was doing.
Slowly the energy subsides and Gokou wraps his left arm around Bulma again instead. There is a silent thank you in her eyes as he does this and he is thankful for this. Silence isn't always a bad thing, he knew this all too well.
The silence however is interrupted by Trunks walking through the door filthy and zoned out as if in deep thought. Quickly Bulma rushes to him to make sure he is ok. The only answer she receives from him however is a simple question. "Where is the last dragon ball mother? I looked all over for it and found its landing place indented into your lab wall."
"Its in my room Trunks why?" she asks curious.
Trunks gives her no answer though he only grabs a bottle of water and heads for the house nodding silently to Gokou before he leaves.
"This can't be good Bulma what do you think he plans to do?" Gokou asks timidly.
"I don't know Gokou but lets go find out I'm curious to see what he has in mind." States Bulma before heading off to the mansion. Shrugging Gokou follows her.
They never reach the mansion though before the skies turn black and Shen-lon is sprouting forth from the seven dragon balls. They can hear his voice boom "It is Done." Two times and then he is gone just like that. The two can't believe it. In the blink of an eye Trunks had used his two wishes. Tired of Bulma's slow human movements Gokou just instant transmission's them to Trunks.
Trunks's back is to them when they appear. He is standing there motionless and breathing heavily, shoulders slumped and sweating profusely.
Gokou cannot help but feel uneasy for some reason; the energy in the air around them is different.
"Something is wrong Bulma. Trunks is different I cant exactly tell why but he is fighting something."
Bulma doesn't hear him though she is too worried about Trunks. "Honey what's wrong what did you wish for?"
The only answer she receives though is a shockwave of escaped power that sends Gokou and herself flying backwards.
Gokou what's wrong with him?" Bulma asks worriedly.
Gokou however is too stunned to answer right away. It isn't until Trunks lets out a pain filled scream and another concussion wave of power that he snaps out of his trancelike state.
"We got to get out of here, and I mean right now!" Gokou grabs a protesting Bulma and Instant transmissions away from Trunks just far enough away so that she can still see Trunks but far enough away from him that one of his power surges are not harmful to them.
"What's going on Gokou? What is happening to my son?"
Bulma turns to Gokou and looks at him for answers he knows he does not have.
"I don't know Bulma but his power is shooting through the roof. Its higher right now then it has ever been. I can't even fathom what he wished for but it's obviously a bad thing if he is still mentally unstable. I have to go to him and find out what he has done. Bulma you have to stay here, you can't go anywhere near him or you could get hurt real badly. Promise me you will stay back." He stays silent awaiting her answer.
Sighing in defeat she only nods.
Satisfied he turns about to take off but then looks behind him towards the horizon.
"The others are coming…they sense Trunks's power and think something is wrong. Stop them from getting too close, I need to be alone with Trunks." With that said he turns around and flies off towards the increasingly unstable Trunks.
Piccolo is the first to land next to Bulma followed next by Gohan Goten and Kurilin. "What's going on Bulma we felt Trunks's Ki violently rise and came to investigate." Asks Piccolo in his gruff tone of voice.
It takes her a few seconds to realize that she has company but she responds to his question as soon as she does. "He made a wish Piccolo. Two of them in fact and we don't even know what they were Gokou has gone to find out, Trunks power is out of control he is fighting it, other then that I don't know anything except to keep you guys back those are Gokou's orders. He wants to be with Trunks alone."
***Over near Trunks***
Gokou walks up to the struggling Sayian unsure as how to approach him in his current state. "Trunks are you ok? Its me Gokou."
Trunks is silent for a second, extreme concentration upon his face. Then just like that he relaxes and lets out a sigh of relief before looking up at earth's mightiest hero. There is a smirk upon Trunks's face as he stares at the man before him that would do his father proud if he were there to see it himself. Gokou had always hated that smirk when it was used on him. It could chill even the most battle hardened warriors right to the core before the fight ever began no matter how powerful the were.
"Man there is no doubt about it that you are the son of Vegeta when you do that Trunks! Your so good at that your giving me the chills!"
Trunks just smirks even more as he stares Gokou in the eyes as he walks towards him. "More so now then you will ever know Gokou… more so then you will ever know." Is all that he says.
Like a bold of lightning the gears in Gokou's mind begin to turn and it becomes obvious of what Trunks has wished for. "What have you done Trunks?"
The young boy just takes a step closer to Gokou, a cold dangerous glint in his eyes. "I just made right a couple of lies Gokou that's all."
"What did you wish for Trunks? Tell me exactly!"
The young prince turns his back to Gokou and shakes his head. "Well Gokou if you must know I wished to be the true son of Vegeta. That's all." Trunks says coolly.
Gokou gasps in disbelief, if that was true then he was now not the product of a genetic manipulation but an actual half-breed Demy human like his son's. That would explain the mass increase in power. But his true dread lay in his next question.
"Trunks you never told me your second wish! What was your second wish? I need to know don't hold out on me."
Trunks however just shakes his head. "Sorry Gokou but it is not my place to tell you."
Gokou is beside him self. What could he have possible wished for that he couldn't tell him about? A dark Ki behind him however made any explanation he may have had flow away from him.
Startled Gokou spins around ready for anything. Anything except what he finds. Shocked disbelief fills his soul as he stares at the being before him.
"Hello Kakarot how good it is to truly meet you for the first time with my own eyes. Prepare yourself third class your prince is about to show you why he is the rightful ruler of the universe and the one true SUPER SAYIAN!"
