Chapter 17
The whole while Trunks was preparing himself to go to the throne room a thousand and one things fled through his mind.
Things such as; how is Pan right now? Was she thinking of him? Did she want him now as much as he wanted her? What was his dad planning? Who does he have to go meet in the throne room?
These and a thousand other things was all Trunks could think of, what a mess everything has been made into. Nothing was so complicated before for him or anyone else, growing up there were never any problems except for that one incident ten years ago. As Trunks placed his royal armor on, he figured that he would take whatever else came to him with dignity and maturity. He felt that it was high time he acted like the prince he was born to be, the prince that he knew was inside of him and it was time to let him out; if he wanted Pan and if he wanted everything to be okay between her family and his then he had to take a stand and do what he feels is right.
Trunks heard the drums pounding out in the halls and he knew it was his signal to go to the throne room, as he exited his room he was greeted by Turock and Uub who walked on either side of him towards the throne room.
"Why do I have a feeling that whatever is in that throne room is going to be a big problem for someone." Uub said in a low voice, Turock and Trunks glanced at him with consideration.
"You have very good intuition Uub, for once I hope your wrong."
Trunks said as the three young warriors entered the throne room, Turock, Trunks and Uub approached King Vegeta and Queen Bulma who were seated on their thrones, they bowed and Turock and Uub saluted their king with a pound to their chest armor. Vegeta motioned with two fingers to step to the side and they did so, Trunks stayed in the middle, "Why have you summoned me father?"
Vegeta smirked, "Stand by me Trunks."
Trunks arched an eyebrow and did as told, he then looked straight ahead at the large throne room entrance, the room was filled from left to right with nobles and lords, 1st class warriors, and a few 2nd class warriors.
"Father why are their so many people here? What have you planned?" Trunks said bending down to face his father, Vegeta glanced over at him with his dark onyx orbs and smirked.
"Here comes your sister."
Trunks looked up as the drums once again pounded and Bra walked in, everyone bowed as she passed by and she graciously nodded her head to them, as she approached her parents she curtsied and stood next to her mother. Trunks glanced over at her from over their parents' heads, without speaking he asked by moving his mouth, "What's going on?"
Bra replied the same way by saying, "I don't know."
Vegeta then clapped his hands to silence the room, the room quickly silenced a pin drop could easily be heard at this point, "Please welcome the Queen Hikani of Gemtia our sister planet and her daughter Princess Rima." Vegeta said as Queen Hikani and Princess Rima entered the throne room. Trunks suddenly looked over at Uub and Turock and he was distressed when he saw the look on Turock's face. Turock had a look of complete astonishment, his eyes spoke for him, Trunks could see so many emotions inside the black pools that it made him realize why Turock was like this suddenly.
Rima was the girl he mated last night! Oh my god Rima is Turock's mate!
Trunks' assumption became affirmative when he saw Princess Rima glance over at Turock and she had almost smiled but when she remembered her position she stopped herself. They kept eye contact throughout her entire entrance, Trunks could not believe this and neither could Uub. Trunks noticed that Uub made the connection as well when Trunks and Uub gave each other the affirming glances once Rima walked in.
Queen Hikani and Rima made their way to Vegeta and Bulma, "King Vegeta thank you for your gracious and warm welcome." Hikani said with a curtsy and smile.
Vegeta bowed, "It is a pleasure Queen Hikani."
Queen Hikani and Rima took their seats down by the royal family were all royal guests sat, Vegeta then clapped his hands again to silence the room, "Today is going to be the start of a very special time on our planet," as Vegeta was talking about a new coming of peace and hope for the planet Trunks looked over at Bra who seemed to look a little ill or sad. He frowned and when Bra looked over at him she formed a half smile and then looked away…Trunks new something was wrong…but the worst was yet to come. Suddenly Trunks saw Gohan, Goku, Turles, Goten and Pan enter the room, they silently walked over to the other 1st class warriors and were silent and listening to Vegeta's on going speech. Bra's face lit up at the sudden sight of Goten and Goten's face did the same, Trunks was relieved to see his sister looking happy for a little while. Pan looked over at Goten and saw how he was looking at Bra and it brought a warm and happy feeling to her heart, she then saw Trunks who was looking right at her and she felt herself falling for him all over again.
I love youPan smirked Trunks had just communicated with her telepathically and she responded in the same manor, I love you too you royal jerk
Trunks smirked; he then saw his father look over at Bra and then at Goten…Trunks' smile faded, was his father going to make a connection?
Vegeta then began to close his speech; "I would now like to introduce one of our finest 1st class warriors who has just returned from a huge battle over in the black zone, he has accomplished much for a young warrior, please welcome him with open arms."
Trunks raised an eyebrow, "Who was he talking about?" Trunks said to himself in a low whisper.
Suddenly as the drums played again Trunks saw a tall man with black spiky hair like Gohan, Tan skin like Vegeta, black eyes and a strong build and a terribly handsome face walk through the door…Trunks recognized him instantly, "Maduka?" Trunks said in disbelief.
Maduka was one of the greatest warriors in the saiyan army; he came right after the Son family's Goku, Gohan and Goten, he was also the son of Vegeta's advisor Nuka. Vegeta always preferred him above the rest of his soldiers despite the fact that he had three more powerful than Maduka.
Maduka approached Vegeta and genuflected in front of him; he pounded his fist on his chest armor and lowered his head, "Stand." Vegeta said.
As Maduka rose he glanced at Bra with a smirk, Trunks narrowed his eyes at him and Bra did as well…Goten placed a jealous look on his face and Pan put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Today, we will announce two things," Vegeta began, Trunks and Bra began to worry as did Pan and Goten, "Queen Hikani and I have agreed to a marriage treaty."
Trunks froze, that moment in time froze, What? Oh god no! It can't be? Dad didn't do this did he? Am I involved in this treaty? Oh god please no!
"Princess Rima and my son Prince Trunks shall be wed in five days time." Vegeta finished.
Trunks was horrified, he looked over at Pan who had the same look…he could see tears filling up in her eyes and he wanted to run with her and never look back. He wanted to get out of this sudden treaty; little did he realize that Turock and Rima felt the same way. Turock and Rima were mates now this marriage treaty was threatening to tear them apart forever, yet they stood there with tears in their eyes and stayed in their place.
The people in the room cheered and Vegeta raised his hand to silence them, Bulma was also appalled for she remembered Vegeta telling her that he would never arrange a marriage for his children, she was a pissed off mother.
"That is not the only good news," Everyone looked over at Vegeta, what hell could he have planned next? "Maduka has asked for the hand of my daughter Princess Bra and I have agreed to it. They will be married with Rima and Trunks, we shall have a double wedding."
Bra looked over at her father in disbelief she then glanced at Gohan, she wanted to break down right then and there but she didn't because she couldn't. Goten shut his eyes tight and fought back the oncoming tears, he tightened his fists and stood his ground.
Vegeta had just screwed over his children and others involved, and now what could happen? What could any of them do about it? What will they do about it?
Turock, Rima, Pan, Trunks, Goten and Bra were filled with anger, despair, sadness, and anything else imaginable. They were not going to give their mates up without fights, or were they for the good of the planet?
All right chapter over? Was it a good chapter? Was it a good enough cliffhanger? I hope so! Anyways please read and review…if not I won't continue! LoL I'm just kidding I'll update at some point! Love you all! Ja ne! ~Pannygirl~
