Final Chapter (17)
To all those who have reviewed I thank you so very much and this chapter is for you all.
Omega
Trunks POV-
"You fool do you really believe me to be afraid of such an ignorant ploy? I'll crush you in one blow!" Gero laughed, he was certainly confident, but I would put an end to him even if I had to kill myself to do it.
"Just shut up!" I yelled. He only smirked and disappeared and then reappeared in front of me.
"Can't keep up?" He drilled his fist into my face causing the left side of my face to dull from the pain. Gero sent a huge beam of energy that erupted before it hit me. The blast wiped everything out around me but luckily I shielded myself before the energy attack could harm me.
Gero, on the other hand was already firing more and more energy attacks at me. I flew into the sky and then phased behind him and sent a ball of energy at him. He smirked and tried to absorb it, but I made the energy explode catching him off gaurd. Before he could recover I slammed my knee into his gut and then axe handled him to the ground.
"Trunks, I see that you are very determined to save her..." Gero pointed to 18's body after jumping to his feet.
"Just shut up and fight!" I attacked again but Gero blocked all of my attacks and slammed me to the ground.
"GIGA BEAM!!!" His arm mutated into a cannon like gun that was in point blank range from my chest. Gero's beam sent me deep into the ground. The pain from the blast was unbelievable. After the explosion Gero was above me grinning.
"So is the great Super-Saiyan going to get up or will he lay in one spot and let the doctor take care of him?" Gero laughed as he grabbed my neck and lifted me into the air. With his other hand he created an energy ball and fired. I was shot out of the crater extremely fast and continued on until I hit a nearby cliff. I struggled to my feet and then Gero appeared before me and I charged him once again.
18' POV
My head was throbbing along with my entire body. Pain was all that I could think of. I stood to my feet and looked around for Gero, Trunks, 17 or Angel. I spotted 17 and Angel unconscious nearby but still hadn't found Trunks. This wasn't good. Gero was much stronger than Trunks just from the looks of it. The thought of him dying again ...actually disturbs me... no time to think like that, got to wake 17 and Angel.
It only took a few moments for the both of them to finally come around and then we started to search for Trunks.
Not even a minute later we heard the sound of an intense battle raging on near the mountians.
"I wonder if Trunks is getting his face bashed in?" 17 thought aloud.
"Listen 17 don't speak if you're going to be negative." He looked at me and grinned.
"We should hurry, lets go you two." Angel spoke as she lifted into the air and headed toward the mountians.
We arrived and saw something really insane. It was Trunks against Gero, but Trunks' hair had grown like at least three feet.
"How long were we out?" 17 asked noting Trunks' physical change as well.
"No, I think this is a power up for a Saiyan." Angel replied. I agreed because I could actually fell the energy Trunks' body was giving off. Him and Gero were going blow for blow. I was really impressed. This was the same kid that me and 17 would beat on for enjoyment back in the past, but now he's far more powerful than the both of us.
The fight soon took a turn for the worst. Trunks was getting the worst beating I could imagine. Even me and 17 hadn't used some of the attacks Gero used. Trunks' body was bleeding badly and his energy around his body had disappeared so that he was no longer glowing.
"This isn't good." Angel said as she herself powered up and headed into battle. 17 and I followed immediately after.
Gero took note of our arrival and greeted us.
"Its so nice of you all to be here and witness this fool's destruction." Gero grinned as he glared at me and smiled harder.
"Now Trunks you'll be dying right in front of her." Gero said to Trunks but loud enough for me to hear. Trunks struggled to stand but the energy wouldn't come. 17, Angel, and myself were all readying ourselves for the fight ahead, but it never came. Trunks had shot up and connected a powerful fist to Gero's cheek and sent him cruising into a handful of trees and then the ground.
Gero still got to his feet and smiled.
"This is quite interesting, you have no energy to stand on your own but you somehow find a way to gather your strength. I've been observing you for quite some time now Trunks and I now you are a deadly opponent. This transformation you've undergone was not in my files when I checked your body, but I found out that it first was brought out when you had went insane. Though this should be a reasonable answer to why you have gained so much power, it truly isn't because you weren't in control. The only other time you reached this level was when you were fighting 17 and 18, trying to free them from my programing. But now you've tranformed in order to protect her. I really don't understand you. The same androids you're trying to help are the same ones who destroyed everything you know, so why are you bent upon helping them? Or maybe, there's a deeper reason? You stopped Omega Cell from killing 18, then you stop yourself from killing her, and finally when she tries to kill you all you do is beg her to stop. Is it possible that you have developed feelings for my creation? Are those feelings so strong that they give you strength when you have none?" Gero's words definitely had an effect on Trunks, his eyes softened for a sec and then refocused on Gero.
"I will protect her and 17, Angel and everyone else alive on this planet! I won't let you ruin their lives like you did mine! Everything that happened to me is your fault Gero! My father's death, Gohan's, and everyone elses, it was always all your doing because of your hatred and selfishness they died! You ruined 17 and 18's lives. They might have had a family before you decided to take that away from them! I swore to 18 that I'd save her from you and I'm going to do that even if its the last thing I ever do!!" Trunks yelled as his power began to. I was shocked, Trunks was fighting Gero not only for himself but for me and 17 as well.... he didn't even try to deny what Gero said instead he said that he'd protect me but why.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Step away from her." That voice, it was Trunks!
"18 are you okay?" Trunks asked
Trunks went to me and lifted me up in his arms as he and Angel blasted off.
"Trunks... thank you." He looked at me and smiled softly.
"Rest...you need it." He whispered to me and I smiled back.
"18, If you need something just ask?" Trunks said to me and he looked down and held my hand. For some reason, I became relaxed. But the thought of me and him together is so very...strange. But why is he so nice?
~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK END~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of those memories hit me as I watched him and Gero attack one another again. Maybe he felt that strange feeling inside of him too.... what am I thinking I don't have time for such sillyness and neither should he...but....
Once again Trunks began to lose and again the three of us got ready to intervien at any moment. Gero slammed Trunks to the ground and then lifted him to the air and sent a strong right hook to Trunks' side. It was so powerful that his body bent violently from the attack and then he landed on the ground with a thud. We waited for a few moments and still Trunks hadn't moved. His hair then began to turn purple again and soon that's when Gero turned to us.
"You fools, he was far more powerful than all of you! What makes you think you can even stand a chance!!" Gero yelled in anger. 17 and I attacked but to no avail, we were repelled with the froce of Gero's arm. Angel tried but had little luck. Gero attacked 17 before he could get to his feet and then knocked him unconscious after a barrage of punches and kicks were used. I looked at Trunks' weakened state and frowned inwardly. Trunks needed my help and I had a chance to help him. If only keeping Gero distracted for a few seconds was all I could do then so be it. That meant Trunks had those few seconds to recover, somewhat. I attacked Gero who only dodged my attacks and then disappeared and then appeared fighting Angel who was losing already.
Gero knocked Angel out again and then I attacked. Gero once again dodged and then dodged some more.
"You afraid?" I asked and Gero grinned
"Actually, I'm just smart. If I attack you and you go calling out in pain, then that means ol', blondie over there will try to get up, and who knows what he'll do to me if I hurt you."
"What are you talking about?" I demanded as Gero laughed.
"Isn't it obvious my dear?" Gero grinned "Android 18, I thought I programmed you with knowledge on things such as love and the way it makes humans act." Gero said as he looked into my eyes and laughed.
"But you no longer use reason. I'm much stronger and yet you attack not because you ahve a plan but because of love. An android in love with a monkey. Very very strange turn of events.... my own creations loving the enemy. I thought I made you better than that, oh well, you're obselete now so farewell." Gero held up his hand and a huge ball of energy formed.
"BIG BANG!!" The attack hit Gero and sent him smashing into cliffs and trees extremely fast.
I turned and saw Trunks standing with his energy glowing him. He had reached the next level again and again he protected me.
Trunks POV
18 looked at me with her ice blue eyes and then shook her head.
"Trunks, you can't keep fighting, rest I'll handle it." She said as she lifted into the air but I phased in front of her.
"No, 18, Gero is much too powerful for you to handle. He'd kill you easily. Please just stay back, I beg of you." I took her hand as I pleaded. She looked into my eyes and sighed.
"Be careful." I nodded and then took off after Gero.
I found him standing on a tree shaking his head.
"You should have just ran away with her, but now I'm going to kill you." He growled as the two of us blasted toward one another and then collided. I was thrown backward as was Gero but he recovered and attacked. I dodged his blows and then went on the attack. Gero dodged and blocked and then attacked. This kept on several more times until he connected with my stomach and then kicked to the ground. I hit hard destroying trees and other debris. Gero slammed a knee into my back and then threw me into the air and sent a tirade of energy waves towards me. I stopped in mid-air and sent my own barrage of attacks toward his. The energy waves canceled out and then me and Gero went at each other again.
"Trunks, tell me why?! Why do you try so hard?! Why protect these earthlings! They have no future!" Gero asked as he attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks. I blocked them all and then attacked. He tried to dodge my attacks but his anger and misunderstanding gave me several openings. I slammed my foot into the side of Gero's face and then threw him to the ground.
Gero hit with a tremendous amount of force causing the ground below to shake. I landed on the ground and walked to the crater only to nearly be hit by a huge beam of energy erupting out of it. Gero floated in the sky and then landed several meters in front of me.
"I'll make you pay!!!" Gero screamed as he attacked with more power and speed than ever before. I couldn't block any of his attacks, my body was giving out, and the pain from my previous injuries were already throbbing. Gero rammed his fist into my stomach and then slammed the other in the middle of my back sending me to the ground hard. Gero picked my head up and then rammed his head into my face and threw me into the sky.
Gero appeared above me and brought his hands down across my back and before I could hit the ground he appeared and drove his fist deep within my gut causing my body to fold against his fist. He created a beam with the same hand and sent me hurling into the sky. Gero phased behind me and sent a powerful knee into my back and then phased in front of me sending his fist again into my stomach as hard as he could. I flew backwards hundreds of feet before Gero appeared behind me and slammed his knee into my back causing significant amounts of pain throughout my entire body. I fell to the ground below and struggled to move. Gero landed somewhere near me and began laughing insanely.
18's POV
I had watched enough, Trunks needed my help and I had to help him. 17 was still out of it but Angel had awoken and was ready to fight again. We flew toward Trunks as Gero lifted his body into the air and sent a powerful fist into his stomach again. Trunks hadn't made a single sound. His body hit the ground and slid to a stop. Angel and I rushed over to him quickly and saw that his eyes were pure white, his pupils were gone. He was bleeding freely from ever scar on his body. Angel tried to revive him but he remained still.
"Foolish girl, you can't wake a dead man!" Gero laughed.
"You're lying!" I yelled as I grabed Trunks by the shoulders and shook him and he didn't move. His eyes were open but they remained white. I tried to yell at him to wake him up but it didn't work.
"This is so sad!" Gero laughed as I continued to try and help Trunks.
"18, he's dead. I'm so sorry," Angel was wrong Trunks wasn't dead he couldn't be.
I looked at him and shook my head this isn't how it's supposed to end! Gero should be the one lying here not Trunks, not him, not aftere the horrible life I put him through.
I attacked Gero with everything I had, I pushed him back as Angel joined in and together we were able to repel Gero backwards. He stopped himself and then dashed at us and elbowed me and Angel from behind.
"How'd he move so fast?!" Angel yelled as she jumped to her feet and landed next to me. The two of us were in no way a match for Gero but we had to try. Trunks had to have weakened him some how.
"DIE!!" Gero sent a huge beam of energy at us but we quickly jumped into the air, barely dodging the attack. Gero slammed his fist into Angel's head and sent her to the ground and then went after me. He kneed me in my face and then threw me into Angel. We got to our feet but Gero was on us again and soon me and Angel we sent flying through trees and boulders and then into the base of another mountian.
"18...you....okay?" Angel asked weakly as she helped me out of the ruble. We floated into the sky and looked for Gero.
"HERE I AM!!" He yelled as a huge beam came down upon the both of us and crushed us into the ground as it exploded. The force of the blast slammed me and Angel into the ground and wiped the mountain out. I looked up and saw Gero land about twenty yards away and start laughing.
I couldn't move anything, the pain wouldn't allow me to. Angel, on the other hand, had stood to her feet and limped over to me and pulled me up. I looked at her left arm and saw that it was gone.
"Angel..." I started but she sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She breathed out as she clutched her left should to numd some of the pain. I looked at Gero who had begun to advance upon us slowly.
This was the end. I was sure of it. Trunks was gone, 17 was out, I had no energy to fight while Angel had lost her arm. We had no way of winning.
"Now you two shall die!" Gero grinned.
Suddenly, 17 shot out of the forested area and grabbed Gero's body and then a huge explosion occured. I fell to my knees in disbelief, had 17 just given his life to stop Gero?! No...please 17 don't be dead please....
Gero had blocked much of the explosion but his arms were in bad shape. He looked at us and grinned as he repaired himself easily. I looked around for 17's body and saw him laying on the ground weakened greatly. I sighed in relief and then prepared for the end. 17 had tried to damage Gero but damaging him wouldn't finish it. Gero phased in front of me and Angel and threw us both back into the forested area and blasted several beams in our direction.
"Let's play Cat and Mouse!!!" Gero laughed as Angel and I got up and ran.
"Angel you stay here and rest, Gero won't find you here just stay quiet." I told her as I lead her to a tree with a whole in its base.
"Get in and stay there until he's gone got it?" I asked her and she shook her head violently.
"I can't let you fight alone, I won't..." I sighed at her and spook.
"Gero, will kill me, there's no way to stop him. At least one of us can survive." I told her but Angel refused.
"If you must die then I'll die with you." She said and I smiled.
"You know, I wish the two of us could have met under different circumstances, we could have been good friends." She and I continued running but stopped when we came to Trunks' body. I froze and looked on as Gero appeared in front of it.
"Ready to join him?" Gero asked.
I looked at Trunks once more and smiled.
"I am." I had finally given up. Not to Gero but to my feelings for him. I loved Trunks.
"You certainly have become weak 18." Gero growled as I continued smile. Gero attacked and dug his fist into my stomach and then slammed Angel into a tree. She collapsed immediately and then passed out. I dragged myself over to Trunks as Gero only laughed.
"Want to die with his body uh?" Gero asked with a laugh.
I ignored him and looked at Trunks.
"Hey, kid..." I whispered as I tried to stand up. I succeeded and winced as the pain ran through my body. I looked down at Trunks and sighed.
"I wish we could have been together... I wish that I had just stopped back when I first saw you. Then we could have lived and I could have found out what this 'love' felt like." I fell to my knees from the pain and leaned over him and placed a kiss on his lips.
"I just want you to know that I'm sorry... and that....that I really loved you Trunks." Gero had seen enough and blasted a energy waved at me that knocked me backwards into a tree.
I looked up and saw Gero advancing upon me and I closed my eyes and waited for the end.
"What the hell!?!" It was Gero's voice and he was greatly disturbed. I opened my eyes and saw Trunks standing on his feet. His eyes were still white but his energy was circling around him.
Suddenly, I could feel my energy return and I stood to my feet. Angel also had risen to her feet and then 17 appeared favoring his right arm. I looked at Trunks who had now regained his dark blue eye color and saw that he was indeed alive but very weak.
"Like I said Gero, this ends now!" Trunks yelled as his hair grew long again and then his eyes burned red.
"What is this!?" Gero yelled as Trunks power began to push everything around him backwards.
"17, 18, Angel get out of here now!!" Trunks yelled as he pushed himself even higher. I looked to Angel and nodded. 17 began to fly away as well and the two of us followed as fast as we could. Once we were high enough in the air we saw Trunks unleash his energy again and then the entire area was wiped out.
Gero flew into the sky but Trunks didn't follow.
"You'll never win! I'll wipe this planet out!!" Gero yelled as he created a huge ball of energy above his head.
The energy ball was massive I never saw anything like it! Trunks, on the other hand began laughing.
"Gero this is a present from the man you dedicated your life to destroying! I learned this move from his son!" Trunks began to move his hands in a strange but familiar patern.
"KA....ME...HA...ME...." Trunks' power was making the earth shake violently. Gero was furious.
"YOU WON'T WIN!!!" Gero yelled but Trunks only grinned.
"HAAAA!!!!!!!!" Trunks sent an unbelievably large wave of light blue energy at Gero who used his attack. The huge ball of energy was crushed by Trunks' wave and soon the energy wave connected with Gero, engulfing him completely. The beam carried on into the sky and then disappeared.
"We won..." Angel whispered. 17 looked at me and then Angel and laughed. I sighed deeply and looked down at Trunks who looked up at me and waved.
I smiled happily, realizing now we could finally be together in peace.

"Trunks... thank you." He looked at me and smiled softly.
"Rest...you need it." He whispered to me and I smiled back.
"18, If you need something just ask?" Trunks said to me and he looked down and held my hand. For some reason, I became relaxed. But the thought of me and him together is so very...strange. But why is he so nice?

Gero picked my head up and then rammed his head into my face and threw me into the sky.
Gero appeared above me and brought his hands down across my back and before I could hit the ground he appeared and drove his fist deep within my gut causing my body to fold against his fist. He created a beam with the same hand and sent me hurling into the sky. Gero phased behind me and sent a powerful knee into my back and then phased in front of me sending his fist again into my stomach as hard as he could. I flew backwards hundreds of feet before Gero appeared behind me and slammed his knee into my back causing significant amounts of pain throughout my entire body. I fell to the ground below and struggled to move. Gero landed somewhere near me and began laughing insanely.
18's POV
I had watched enough, Trunks needed my help and I had to help him. 17 was still out of it but Angel had awoken and was ready to fight again. We flew toward Trunks as Gero lifted his body into the air and sent a powerful fist into his stomach again. Trunks hadn't made a single sound. His body hit the ground and slid to a stop. Angel and I rushed over to him quickly and saw that his eyes were pure white, his pupils were gone. He was bleeding freely from ever scar on his body. Angel tried to revive him but he remained still.
"Foolish girl, you can't wake a dead man!" Gero laughed.
"You're lying!" I yelled as I grabed Trunks by the shoulders and shook him and he didn't move. His eyes were open but they remained white. I tried to yell at him to wake him up but it didn't work.
"This is so sad!" Gero laughed as I continued to try and help Trunks.
"18, he's dead. I'm so sorry," Angel was wrong Trunks wasn't dead he couldn't be.
I looked at him and shook my head this isn't how it's supposed to end! Gero should be the one lying here not Trunks, not him, not aftere the horrible life I put him through.
I attacked Gero with everything I had, I pushed him back as Angel joined in and together we were able to repel Gero backwards. He stopped himself and then dashed at us and elbowed me and Angel from behind.
"How'd he move so fast?!" Angel yelled as she jumped to her feet and landed next to me. The two of us were in no way a match for Gero but we had to try. Trunks had to have weakened him some how.
"DIE!!" Gero sent a huge beam of energy at us but we quickly jumped into the air, barely dodging the attack. Gero slammed his fist into Angel's head and sent her to the ground and then went after me. He kneed me in my face and then threw me into Angel. We got to our feet but Gero was on us again and soon me and Angel we sent flying through trees and boulders and then into the base of another mountian.
"18...you....okay?" Angel asked weakly as she helped me out of the ruble. We floated into the sky and looked for Gero.
"HERE I AM!!" He yelled as a huge beam came down upon the both of us and crushed us into the ground as it exploded. The force of the blast slammed me and Angel into the ground and wiped the mountain out. I looked up and saw Gero land about twenty yards away and start laughing.
I couldn't move anything, the pain wouldn't allow me to. Angel, on the other hand, had stood to her feet and limped over to me and pulled me up. I looked at her left arm and saw that it was gone.
"Angel..." I started but she sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She breathed out as she clutched her left should to numd some of the pain. I looked at Gero who had begun to advance upon us slowly.
This was the end. I was sure of it. Trunks was gone, 17 was out, I had no energy to fight while Angel had lost her arm. We had no way of winning.
"Now you two shall die!" Gero grinned.
Suddenly, 17 shot out of the forested area and grabbed Gero's body and then a huge explosion occured. I fell to my knees in disbelief, had 17 just given his life to stop Gero?! No...please 17 don't be dead please....
Gero had blocked much of the explosion but his arms were in bad shape. He looked at us and grinned as he repaired himself easily. I looked around for 17's body and saw him laying on the ground weakened greatly. I sighed in relief and then prepared for the end. 17 had tried to damage Gero but damaging him wouldn't finish it. Gero phased in front of me and Angel and threw us both back into the forested area and blasted several beams in our direction.
"Let's play Cat and Mouse!!!" Gero laughed as Angel and I got up and ran.
"Angel you stay here and rest, Gero won't find you here just stay quiet." I told her as I lead her to a tree with a whole in its base.
"Get in and stay there until he's gone got it?" I asked her and she shook her head violently.
"I can't let you fight alone, I won't..." I sighed at her and spook.
"Gero, will kill me, there's no way to stop him. At least one of us can survive." I told her but Angel refused.
"If you must die then I'll die with you." She said and I smiled.
"You know, I wish the two of us could have met under different circumstances, we could have been good friends." She and I continued running but stopped when we came to Trunks' body. I froze and looked on as Gero appeared in front of it.
"Ready to join him?" Gero asked.
I looked at Trunks once more and smiled.
"I am." I had finally given up. Not to Gero but to my feelings for him. I loved Trunks.
"You certainly have become weak 18." Gero growled as I continued smile. Gero attacked and dug his fist into my stomach and then slammed Angel into a tree. She collapsed immediately and then passed out. I dragged myself over to Trunks as Gero only laughed.
"Want to die with his body uh?" Gero asked with a laugh.
I ignored him and looked at Trunks.
"Hey, kid..." I whispered as I tried to stand up. I succeeded and winced as the pain ran through my body. I looked down at Trunks and sighed.
"I wish we could have been together... I wish that I had just stopped back when I first saw you. Then we could have lived and I could have found out what this 'love' felt like." I fell to my knees from the pain and leaned over him and placed a kiss on his lips.
"I just want you to know that I'm sorry... and that....that I really loved you Trunks." Gero had seen enough and blasted a energy waved at me that knocked me backwards into a tree.
I looked up and saw Gero advancing upon me and I closed my eyes and waited for the end.
"What the hell!?!" It was Gero's voice and he was greatly disturbed. I opened my eyes and saw Trunks standing on his feet. His eyes were still white but his energy was circling around him.
Suddenly, I could feel my energy return and I stood to my feet. Angel also had risen to her feet and then 17 appeared favoring his right arm. I looked at Trunks who had now regained his dark blue eye color and saw that he was indeed alive but very weak.
"Like I said Gero, this ends now!" Trunks yelled as his hair grew long again and then his eyes burned red.
"What is this!?" Gero yelled as Trunks power began to push everything around him backwards.
"17, 18, Angel get out of here now!!" Trunks yelled as he pushed himself even higher. I looked to Angel and nodded. 17 began to fly away as well and the two of us followed as fast as we could. Once we were high enough in the air we saw Trunks unleash his energy again and then the entire area was wiped out.
Gero flew into the sky but Trunks didn't follow.
"You'll never win! I'll wipe this planet out!!" Gero yelled as he created a huge ball of energy above his head.
The energy ball was massive I never saw anything like it! Trunks, on the other hand began laughing.
"Gero this is a present from the man you dedicated your life to destroying! I learned this move from his son!" Trunks began to move his hands in a strange but familiar patern.
"KA....ME...HA...ME...." Trunks' power was making the earth shake violently. Gero was furious.
"YOU WON'T WIN!!!" Gero yelled but Trunks only grinned.
"HAAAA!!!!!!!!" Trunks sent an unbelievably large wave of light blue energy at Gero who used his attack. The huge ball of energy was crushed by Trunks' wave and soon the energy wave connected with Gero, engulfing him completely. The beam carried on into the sky and then disappeared.
"We won..." Angel whispered. 17 looked at me and then Angel and laughed. I sighed deeply and looked down at Trunks who looked up at me and waved.
I smiled happily, realizing now we could finally be together in peace.
