Chapter 11
Death
18's POV
Trunks and Gero, but why and most importantly how? Trunks should hate Gero even more than he does 17 and I? But this thing before me wasn't the man I once knew.
"Trunks as soon as you kill her, I will hold up my end of the bargain. So do be quick." With that Gero disappeared. Trunks, on the other hand, remained with that deranged glare on his face.
"So android? Do you want the quick or slow death?" He grinned. Angel came between us and spoke.
"Trunks, Gero is evil he's tricking you! Can't you see that!? He only wants you to do his dirty work!" Angel yelled but I knew none of this was getting through to the creature. Instead he only swatted Angel away. She hit a few buildings, skid across a lake and finally landed after colliding with a tree. He looked at me and began to laugh.
"I'll make your life worser than mine ever was!" Trunks yelled as he attacked me. I tried to block but to no avail. He was much too fast and too skilled to be blocked. He swung his foot and connected causing my body to ricochet off of several buildings before I hit the ground. Before I could think he was standing above me grinning.
"You filthy witch!" He yelled as he turned Super-Saiyan and blasted several beams at my body causing great pain. He lefted me into the air and then blasted me several more times before throwing me back to the earth. I struggled to crawl out of the crater but Trunks appeared in front of me and kicked me in the face sending me across the crater and into another building. Pain ran thoughout my entire body! I never felt such a sensation of pain ever in my life. Again Trunks was above me and decided to step on my throat with his foot.
"You and 17 will pay! Like Gohan said- Not one death will go unaccounted for, not one." Trunks growled as he steped harder on my throat causing my eyes to burn. He moved his foot and then slammed a fist into my stomach and then threw me into another building.
"18 where are you?" I heard him calling my name in a soft voice but I knew that he was only toying with me. I wanted so badly to run but I knew I wouldn't get far. Trunks began laughing and then he was right in front of me.
"Peeka BOO!!" he laughed as I ran away from him until his laughter had died down a little. So this was how he felt that day me and 17 hunted him down in that old building. Everything was the same expect for the fact I was alone and it was him chasing me... no this wasn't who Trunks was, this thing was a monster. I looked around and decided that hopefully he had lost track of me.
"Don't get to comfy, you may end up dead!" Trunks crashed through the ceiling causing me to flee as fast as I could. I turned a corner and then saw Trunks smiling the same insane smile that he had when he fought the Cells a few seconds ago.
"18 don't you know this is futile!?" He yelled as blood rushed to my head. I decided that I had to try to fight back at least. I sent a wall of energy attacks at him and blasted out of the building and went to Angel who was still out. I tried to wake her but she didn't budge. Trunks then appeared behind me and laughed.
"If she's dead from such a simple attack then she deserves to lie there." He laughed as I swung at him only to hit air. He sent a fist to my stomach crippling me instantly. I knew he had pulled the punch but it still was able to cripple me. Trunks continued to grin as he lefted me in the air by my neck and then threw me into a nearby tree and then sent a huge beam of energy at me. The explosion was amazing. The destruction caused was unbelievable! My body felt pain all over. I lefted myself out of the ruble and dusted my clothing the best I could. Trunks was still laughing as he watched me.
"Did that hurt?" He grinned as he kicked me in my side and blasted another energy attack at me. I hit the ground harder this time and stayed there. I tried to move but I couldn't. Had he paralyzed me?
"Get up now or else I'll kill you." He growled as he stood right in front of me.
"Trunks, please, stop this. What would your friend Gohan say?!" I asked. I knew that this 'Gohan' was always a touchy subject for him and it was my only hope.
"How dare you." He whispered. The anger inside of him at that moment was not the reaction I wanted. He then powered up even more.
"I'll...make you...pay..." He growled as his body was encased in a bright glow and then something happened.
I have no clue what he did but I could now feel his power. I could see electricity iminating from his body as it cirlced around him and struck the ground beneath him. His pupils were gone, only an eerie white glow remained. Even his hair changed. It was longer, much longer.
"You will have the worst death I can think of!" he roared as he lefted me into the air and then threw me into the lake. I couldn't believe that I was about to drown to death. It made no sense someone as strong as me dying in such a way and because of someone I began to care for? Luckily, or unluckily Trunks blasted down and pulled me out. He threw me to the ground and laughed.
"I wouldn't let you get off that easy!" He laughed as he went for me again and then kicked me repeatedly while I layed helplessly on the ground. He lefted me into the air and slammed me back to the ground so hard that I stopped breathing for a moment.
"Trunks!!" I screamed. I didn't know why but I did. He wasn't supposed to be hurting me... it made no sense he wasn't supposed to be the enemy. This should be Gero, not me...not me.
"Go to hell!" He yelled as he kicked me again and then threw me closer to the lake.
"I think drowning you would make me feel better what do you think!?" He laughed as he got closer. No this wasn't right! This isn't how I should end! No... he gave me a second chance... he can't take it from me!
"You have to stop!" I yelled as I struggled to move and somehow I sat up. My body hadn't been paralyzed after all. Trunks laughed as he got closer.
"Shut up android!" He yelled as he attacked me again. I only could feel immense pain. Trunks once again grabbed my neck and began to punch me in my stomach. I couldn't block any of his attacks because I was too busy trying to free myself from his grip. He sent a powerful fist to my stomach and then released me.
I knew what had happened. Something inside of me wasn't right. I was dying. Me, android 18....dying....it was unfair.... I didn't deserve this!
"Now for your little 'bath'!" Trunks grinned evily. He kicked me closer to the lake and then kneeld down and grabbed my head.
"Any last requests?" He smirked evilly as I stared into his eyes. I actually had began to care for him... but know he wasn't the man I had known
"I guess not." He smiled.
"Trunks, stop." I whispered and he looked at me with a grin.
"Sorry, missed your chance!" He grinned but I continued.
"No...I don't deserve this... " Trunks release my head and I knew he was even angrier. He tried not to yell but did anyway and began to yell at me as well.
"You deserve to die! You're an android! A monster with no feelings, you killed everyone! You will pay!."
"No, I deserved my second chance at life.... the life Gero stole from me. I could have had been happy or had a family, but he took all of those memories away. " I whispered to him.
"Maybe, I had even been in love once. I can't even remember my parents..." I tried to finish but I knew my time was coming.
"18?" Trunks' voice sounded softer. I opened my eyes and saw his. The look he had was of pure sadness and shame.
"I'm sorry, 18, please hold on." Trunks said as he looked around the area for help.
"Trunks... help 17, please... he deserves a chance too..." I felt it. The cold gripping at my body. I never thought I would feel such a sensation but I decided that maybe this was my destiny. Death
