Chapter 5:

Goten struggled to fly

"Damn I feel sick! I think I'm gonna faint but I got to do this for trunks" he said flying down and touching down outside the capsule corp. with the last bits of strength he had left in his body he began to pound on the door

"BULMA!! VEGETA!! SOMEBODY WAKE UP!!" he shouted slamming his fists against the door but still no reply.

"For kami's sake SOMEBODY WAKE UP HEY!!!" his fists were hurting so much as he slid to his knees in front of the door

"Someone please help" he whispered to himself letting a tear slip from his eye he began to pound on the door again.

Upstairs inside the capsule corp bulma shifted and cuddled up to vegeta who wrapped his arms around her protectively. Dosing bulma stirred she could hear what sounded like banging

"Vegeta, vegeta! Wake up!" she nudged him

"Huh..wha? What's wrong woman go back to sleep!"

"I can hear banging, cant you?" she asked as vegeta sat up and so did she. The banging started again and a muffled voice could be heard

"Someone's at the front door vegeta" she said getting up and putting on her dressing gown. Vegeta got up too putting his boots, black leather trousers and his red sleeveless top on; he walked over to the door and slowly down the halls to the front door closely followed by bulma.

"Wonder who it is calling at this hour" bulma moaned, vegeta just mumbled he could sense something was wrong but he hoped it was just his instinct playing up. As they approached the front door bulma flipped on the light switch. Goten noticed this and straightened up a little using one hand to support himself against the wall, he could barely breathe from all the shouting and his voice was muffled.

Vegeta opened the door and saw goten with his head down and struggling to breathe,

"What do you want brat?" he questioned goten,

"It's.it's...~cough~ help him" goten couldn't speak he was about ready to collapse from exhaustion

"What?" asked vegeta again but bulma almost already new it had something to do with trunks, her heart sank and she ran upstairs to trunks room as quick as her legs would take her. She burst into trunks room to see an empty bed that hadn't been touched; she felt the tears start to swell up in her eyes

"NO, oh no please" she begged to herself and ran back down the stairs to where vegeta was still trying to make out what goten was trying to say

"Listen brat! Stop wasting my time and get lost!!" vegeta said about to close the door on him when bulma came tearing down the stairs

"VEGETA! VEGETA WAIT! Trunks he's, he's not in his room he's not there vegeta!" bulma cried grabbing his arm and turning him around to face her

"Where is the brat then?"

"He went out with goten earlier!!" she said turning his attention to the beaten boy on the slumped on the floor at their front door. Vegeta grabbed goten by his collar and pulled him up to his face

"Where's trunks?" he said with anger in his voice goten coughed

"You got to help him vegeta he's in trouble!" bulma let a tear slip from her eye

"Put him down vegeta he can't breathe!" bulma cried and vegeta dropped the boy to the floor and knelt before him as did bulma lifting his head gently in her hand

"What happened where's trunks?" bulma asked more calmer now

"He's out on the west side of town, some gut he's got trunks and is beating him up pretty bad!" with that vegeta took off into the sky and was gone. Bulma lifted her head and saw him go, she took goten by the arm and helped him up

"Please..please kami let him be ok!" she begged and helped goten inside the house leaving the door ajar for vegeta's return.

Vegeta could feel trunks ki but only just, it was very weak. Vegeta flew over what looked like a wrecked city or a ghost town and touched down on the main road, he could sense trunks but nobody else

"Whoever has done all this isn't here anymore" he said aloud. Vegeta crossed his arms and took a look around, trying to sense where his son's ki was coming from he closed his eyes and got a mental picture of a fallen building, he opened his eyes and looked around for that particular building, spotting it his arms dropped to his sides and he slowly walked over. Getting closer to it he could clearly see a hand sticking out from underneath the rubble vegeta stopped, his eyes widened and his heart sank

"trunks" he whispered his ki was almost gone, vegeta couldn't waste anymore time he ran over to the rubble trying to put his feelings aside and dug threw the rubble with his bare hands, he couldn't risk using a ki blast with him being so weak

"the shock might kill him" he thought and then shook it off, he didn't want to think of his son dying before him, not when he's got so much to learn and do and not until he is satisfied that he taught trunks all there is to know about being a warrior and the son of a prince. Vegeta could hear trunks tiny moans as the weight of the rubble was being lifted off of his chest, vegeta picked up the last boulder and threw it to the side, he looked down at his sons broken body a tear slipping from his eye,

"No..trunks" he whispered putting his hand on his son's forehead, he was burning hot, trunks managed to open his eyes and he looked up at his father

"Da...dad." he whispered so low that only vegeta's sensitive sayjin ears could hear him. Vegeta attempted to move trunks but he cried out in pain, he had only managed to move trunks onto his lap and he sat back and looked down at his son

"I have to get you home trunks that means I have to move you" trunks let a tear slip from his eye and the blood started to trickle from his mouth and onto vegeta's trousers, vegeta could feel the warmth of the blood through his trousers. He looked down at his son who had managed enough strength to move his hand to his fathers and grip it tight

"I..I.I'm sorry I let you down" trunks whispered again this time each word becoming more harder to speak, vegeta held onto his sons hand tight and another tear slipped from his eye, he lent down to trunks gently putting his arms around his neck hugging him, he kissed his sons head and whispered

"You never let me down trunks.I love you and I'm very proud of you my son" trunks was almost gone vegeta could sense it

"I WONT let you die trunks! I refuse to!" he placed his finger on his forehead

"Now how the hell does kakarot do that instant translocation thing?" vegeta kept his mind focused but nothing happened. Keeping a grip on trunks hand he could feel trunks pulse rate slow and was going on its last beats

"Argh! Baka kami!!" vegeta cursed out loud. Trunks looked up at his father he couldn't make out what he was trying to do but whatever it was it wasn't working. Trunks took a little breath and shook his fathers hand a little to get his attention, vegeta looked down to trunks

"I.lo.ve.you.pa.pa" trunks managed to say before the light turned to black

"TRUNKS! No!!" vegeta quickly placed his fingers on his forehead and screamed aloud,

"PLEASE HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO DIE!" all at once vegeta had moved with trunks from the wrecked city to outside of the capsule corp building. Now the next thing he had to do was to make sure trunks didn't die he had to get him to bulma's regeneration tank before it was too late and he lost his son forever. He shook off the thought, picked up his son carefully and started to race towards the open capsule corp door. On the way he could sense that kakarot's ki and he knew he had brought his mate chi-chi with him, but it didn't seem to bother him because she would be comfort for bulma after she saw what a state their son was in.

Vegeta picked up the pace, he swore he would kill the person responsible for this, he swore on his life

"No-one hurts my son and gets away with it! He will pay the ultimate price!"
