Chapter Eight; Vegeta's Three Sons

Two years later...

"Well, Kakarot, once again, it was a pleasure. Thankyou for bringing your brat over to play with mine."

"No problem. He loves it. Don't you, Goten?", he said to the giggling baby in his hands. Kakarot had found out the he was going to have another son not long after Vegeta had, so thier son's were only a couple of months apart. They often played togather. "Well, bye, Vegeta."

"So long.", Vegeta said.

Kakarot left, and he went over to his son's playpen, and peaked in. "Hello, Trunks."

"Daddy.", was his only response. It was one of his only words, and Vegeta liked that. It made that warmth return. The warmth that he once would have shunned, he now welcomed with open arms.

"You have learned well, proud Saiya-jin prince.", Vegeta said to his son. He chuckled. He had a son. Even though it had been over a year since his son's birth, he still couldn't believe it. His smile widened.

He walked to the room next to Trunks's nursery, and peaked in at his sleeping wife. She was already in her Eighth month of pregnancy with thier second child, which was confirmed, by doctors, to be a healthy baby girl. She needed her rest, so he left her alone.

Vegeta walked outside, and breathed deep of the fresh air, truely counting his blessings,when he heard a loud sound in the distance. He walked to his back yard, saw some strange looked ship, and suddenly sensed a high ki that he hadn't even seen coming. "Who's there?!", he said, about to turn Super Saiya-jin.

"Be calm, Father.", a voice came from inside.

"Father?! Who are you?!"

With that, a lavender-haired boy stepped from the ship. "My name is Trunks. I came from the future to warn you of something. There is a new and-"

"Wait! Your Trunks?!"

"Yes."

"My son?!"

"Yes. I'm from the future to warn you that there are some androids coming. Listen, don't get me wrong. You defeated them, but with many casualties. The gaurdian was destroyed, and so were the dragon balls. Everyone died; Goku, Krillen, Tien, Yamcha, Mom, Bra-"

"Hold on. Who's Bra?"

"Oh, she's not born yet, is she?! Sorry."

"My daugter, right?"

"Yes. Well, there's no hope for my timeline now, but at leaste I can save yours. All you have to do is go to a lab about five-hundred miles that way, and destroy it. Come on." Vegeta followed the boy without another word. They were soon hovering over the lab. "I probebly should have just done this myself, and left you alone, but I thought that I may not be powerful enough to destroy the androids even if they aren't activated." Trunks powered up to an ultra Super Saiya-jin form, and began blasting. Vegeta easily transformed to his Super Saiya-jin two form, and joined in.

When the lab was blasted away, and Trunks was about to enter his time machine, Vegeta asked, "How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"I'm very proud of you. You must realize that. I hope that you'll be ok in your time. I know what it feels like to be all alone, and I wouldn't wish it on the devil himself, well, maybe Frieza, but never the devil."

Trunks chuckled. "Thankyou, Father. Wait! Take this." Trunks handed him a capsule. "It's a copy of the time machine. You never know when you'll need it. I hope things never get bad enough to the point where you do. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, my son." With that, the time machine dissappeared, and reappeared right before his eyes. "Trunks?", Vegeta asked, walking to the machine. It opened, and he saw he son, bloody, and breathing heavy. His hair was shorter, and some of the earlier scars were gone. "Trunks, you were just here. What are you doing back? Is there something wrong?!", Vegeta asked.

"What?! I wasn't just here. I was just fighting Buu...and he killed you. He killed everyone."

"What are you talking about?! Who is Buu?! What happened to you?! Wait.", Vegeta said pondering, "You might be from another Version of the future."

"Oh yeah. The other Trunks was just here, right?" All of his sons breaths were raspy as if he were nearing his last, and he still hadn't moved from the seat he was laying in."The surge of energy that you and the other Trunks let off began the proccess of healing Buu. He just recently...got out. That capsule in your hand right now is the reason I was able to get here. You have to...read my mind." His words were getting more forced. "Destroy...Buu's....pod."

"Read your mind?!"

"Put... your hand on my head...and concentrate...I'll...open my mind...to...you." Vegeta did as he was told, and soon knew just what to do.

"What about you?", Vegeta asked.

"I.. will.. go ..to die.. in.. my.. own time, so I can go to...otherworld. I will destroy this...time..machine so Buu can't...come here. Goodluck, Father, and remember; don't...miss a molecule. I'm serious."

He nodded, and the time machine dissapeared with his son in it. He almost offered to find the boy a sensu bean, but knew that when he got back to his time, he would have nothing to live for even if he did defeat Buu. Vegeta powered up, and destroyednthe round pod with some effort, along with the band of warriors who seemed to be gaurding it. One of them claimed to be the king of demons. Vegeta had thought that was Piccolo.

It didn't matter. Vegeta put the capsule on Trunks's shelf and made a silent prayer to Kami-sama that the boy would never have to use it. He also prayed to a higher power whos existance he wasn't sure of, for the lives and souls of his sons, and begged that his wouldn't meet a similar fate.

From The Author: I know this chapter is wierd, and not that good. Don't worry, I haven't gone stale or anything. I have more ideas. I just needed a way to explain the absence of Cell and Buu, because I didn't really want to include them as large parts of the story. Thanks to my reviewers. I have a question. I am fairly knew to this fanfiction stuff, so don't call me stupid. What is a Mary-sue fic. Just wandering. Please answer me. Thanks!
