And We Shall Be Victorious
Moon Seeker
Chapter 8 - Three Days till the End, Three Days of Terror –
They had
been watching Vegeta sparing an invisible opponent for a while now. Neither was
looking at each other, not knowing what to do. However, after dodging another
'stray' ki-blast, they decided to go
inside. The sunrise was a few hour away, and they didn't have any rest, sleep
or food since they landed on earth. Looking at his son, he could clearly see
his confused expression. He new what he must be thinking.
Since the
silence was beginning to be awkward, he decided to take the matter in his own
hand so to speak and begin making conversation.
"Look
Gohan, we will do everything we can to help Piccolo and Krillin, we are not
going to let this Medusa take away our friend, okay?" they were walking side by
side in the labyrinth of tunnel. The tunnel was so dark that he couldn't see
Gohan face, but he could easily guess what he was thinking.
"How are we
going to do it? You know that there is no way we can use the dragon ball" he
was feeling nervous, he was always feeling like that in closed place, result of
many incidents happening in dark and close place.
He passed
his hand in his unruly hair, "Look I don't know, but don't worry; all will be
better at the end, we are going to the past and then we will destroyed this
enemy."
"I hope you
are right, I mean, this Medusa is in our time line. He could be killing
everybody and the only people there to save them its Trunks and Goten." He was
looking everywhere, he had a bad feeling about the all thing, but he didn't
know what. He hoped Videl and Pan were all right…
Goku looked
down, to say the truth, it at been bothering him since he knew that he had gone
to the past. However, he tried not to let himself be paralyzed by it.
"Father,
can I ask you something" Gohan was walking with his father toward the bedroom
Trunks had provided for them. Goku was looking nervous, he new what his son
wanted to ask.
"Heu, yes
you can"
"I know you
are pretty close to Vegeta, can you tell me what is wrong with him?" Goku
looked surprise at Gohan, he expected Gohan to ask him about Vegeta, but not
this way.
Seeing the surprise
look on his father, Gohan give him a little smile "I will not say that I was
not curious about what you were doing with Vegeta, but I trust you dad. And
right now, I'm more preoccupied by Trunks and
Vegeta. Both of them seem…well, pretty out of it." And Vegeta sudden
personality change really worries me.
"Yes I
know, I think all they need is a little time" even thought Gohan nodded his
head, he didn't really agree, how could everything be okay, Trunks had lost
everything. Even if they use some dragon ball for the people in they time line,
Trunks will be forever alone. As for Vegeta, he didn't even want to talk about
it.
"You know,
he will not be alone, he has us now, when all will be finish he will stay with
all of us" surprise Gohan raised his head, it as if he read his mind! Then his
smiled.
"Yes, I
think that Trunks will be happy to know that. That a really good idea and I'm
sure that everybody will be happy, even Vegeta!"
"Yeah! Even
if is not going to say anything about it" they had stopped before the bedroom
Trunks had giving Goku. Gohan was just the next door.
"He will
probably act as if we have dragged him all the way form here!"
"You're
right, well I'm going to sleep now, sleep well son."
"Thanks
dad, but I'm going to see what Trunks his doing what now."
"Okay, but
after, you better sleep, because as soon as Trunks finish playing with the time
machine, we are going have a huge battle in our hand."
"Yeah you
are right. But before, I want too see what Trunks his doing"
"Okay son,
bye, and pass a good night." Ruffling his oldest son hair, he went inside.
"You too"
he watched as if father closed the door.
Father
do you really think everything will be all right. Posing his hand on the door, he almost knocked
but decided against it. After all, if his father said it was all right, it was
going to be all right. This battle is not any different from all the battle
we had to fight. The enemy is only stronger and more vicious that all. All will
be all right. But now I wished a told Videl and Pan that I love them, and said
Mother goodbye before leaving.
Gohan was
walking with his doubt for the battle in his head, not knowing that he was not
the only one. That nor him nor the two full-blooded saiyins sleep well that
night. They dream filled with regret about they past live, regret that will be
forget as soon as they will wake up. As for Trunks, he had giving up long ago
on it.
After
clearing his head, he went in search of Trunks. The tunnels were he was wandering
were huge, they looked like a citywide labyrinth. The only reason he knew his
way around was that someone (certainly not Trunks) had conveniently put sign on
the wall. After one hour, he almost giving up about finding Trunks, the tunnels
were dark with only a pale blue light coming from the ceiling and there were
thousand of empty room and cell along the way. It was just creepy.
Where is
he? I'm sure the sign say that the lab is that way…
It was pure
hazard that he stumble on that room, since he made a wrong turn. The room was
small and when he looked around, he saw that it was the exact replica of CC
living room. The only differences were the pictures; pictures covered the
entire walls: some were in frame, other just hanging by some tape or else. A
brief look told him that Trunks were responsible for it, because although there
were numerous photos of Bulma and him, he didn't spot a trace of purple head in
any of them. By curiosity, he decided to look at some of the pictures. After a
few tough, he decided to let go, and go back to his room: The picture we just
so sad, they wasn't event one were they were smiling and he had abandoned the
idea of ever finding Trunks. Hey sure, just follow the sign, I'm sure he
never tried to follow the sign himself! Well tomorrow morning, I'm going to
find him and, shit I forgot about training with Vegeta.
He was
going to stop looking when a picture of him and Bulma caught his eye, when he
took a longer look at him he was filled with horror. The picture was of him and Bulma, and in this
picture, he was missing an arm. The thought perturbed him so much that he just
runs strait in from of him. Did trunks really live in this kind of world…?
@~~|~~@
Tenshinhan and Yamucha were flying at top speed. As soon as they
received Choazu's message, they went strait to
Yamucha has
been muttering cursing all the way and now he couldn't keep it inside of him
any longer. "Damn! I just knew that all of them leaving was a bad idea.
Five people just disappear and we don't even know what the hell is happening.
Shit! What are we gonna do. I don't believe Choazu, Puar and the other are all
gone"
"Dende must know what happened by now" Choazu, don't you worry okay, I bet we are
going to find a way to bring you back. In front of his eye, an image of Choazu was
floating, looking worried and frustrated. What don't you talk to me? Is the
one, who did this to you, preventing you from speaking to me?
"I hope,
and we didn't even hear something! Nothing" Yamucha was so enraged that he had
difficulty flying strait.
However, you did, didn't you? Choazu nodded is head "but Choazu did:" whispered Tenshinhan.
"Yeah, but
I don't get it, how did the little guy could have know something" damn the
shock must have been hard, the guy his totally out of it.
"He his telepathic, he felt it with his psychic power" I suppose that
since he is psychic he his preventing you to talk to me, it's that it? Choazu shook his head. He looked
more frustrate now. Don't worry; go find King Kai, that way we will be able
to keep contact.
"And now
his gone, shit, I hope the other guy will come rapidly, because I have a really
bad feeling about all this" for some reason I don't think the present of the
other would have helped that much. I shouldn't have slacked that much. I may
not be strong, but I have a hell more fighting experience then the kidos, and
in that fight, I think power will not be of much experience. Anyway,
Choazu, Puar, don't you worry guy; we are going to bring you back.
"Me too" Goodbye
Choazu, I will see you later. And don't do anything foolish okay? Waving his hand, Choazu smiled one
last time then disappears.
They flew
away with anger in they heart for them friend, not knowing that in less in two hour
they were going to see them again.
On the
other side.

Mrs Briefs
had just finish breakfast when she heard the first shout and growl signalling
that the other members of the family were awake.
"Dear I
think how little daughter and our grand children are awake" she was putting the
last dished on the table.
"I think
you're right dear, I better return in the lab, have a good day and don't forget
to water the plant" he gives a small kissed on his wife cheek.
Giggling
softly she lightly punch her husband "Silly you know I never forget!"
"I know
dear, I was just teasing you"
Then
finishing the last dish for they small family, they went each on they way,
doing what they do best: Mr. Briefs inventing knew technology and taking care
of the company, and Mrs briefs taking care CC and giving idea to her husbands.
They didn't
leave the kitchen for thirty minutes when Bulma and Bra jumped in. The little
girl, after spotting rapidly were the food was, grasped 1/3 of the food, sit
down and begin destroying the mountain of food. Only two minute after, her
other child came down, and went strait to the table grasping another 1/3.
Bulma
sighted Look at them eats, you could have sworn I never feed them! Well I
sure don't have to search far to see who they got it from.
For herself
she just grabbed an apple. "Well kids, I hope that enjoying your lunch, but you
better hurry since we have to make some arrangement for the arrival of our
guess" she could have said Majin Buu have comeback and was swimming in they
boll of soup that she couldn't have cut
they appetite faster.
"Okay, what
the hell is wrong with you" she sat in front of her two children, and looked at
them closely. "You have been acting strangely since we begin the preparative
for the voyage"
No one said
a word for a few minute.
"Well!" she
looked closely at each of her children. Neither of them looked away for the
food although they have stopped eating. Finally, having enough, Trunks decided
to tell his mother what was exactly on his mind.
"I don't
want him to come here, he has his life, we got our and that that" he eye didn't
leave the food for even a minute.
Bulma was
aghast, "Trunks! This boy had saved our life, our world."
"Save it!"
Trunks scorned, "He's the one who caused all the problems in the first place."
"Beside,"
Bura added as if she just was thinking aloud "it is not because of him that we
had to deal with this Cell?"
Bulma was
too shocked to say anything.
"Yeah, it's
because he went back to the future that you guy had all this problems" he was
looking with contempt the picture of Mirai-Trunks that was on the wall.
"Trunks how
dare you!" now she was standing, hovering over Bra and Trunks, but none of them
seemed impressed much.
"He's not
even that strong. I mean really! He was just suppose to come to the past to
warn people, but he manage to change our entire future and bring more powerful
enemy behind him"
"And even
added to get himself kill, in two timeline if I'm not mistaken of course" Bra
was looking carefully at her nail as if the entire conversation bored her.
"This is
enough, Mirai-Trunks have scarified everything he had so that you" she put her
finger on Trunks chest "had a better future and that the only thing you can say
on his behalf" she was glaring at them, but neither seemed to care.
"Mother,
please! You just don't understand, your are blinded." Finally decided that this
subject was no worth staving he had decided to eat again.
"A mother's
love his blind to certain default…" she was looking disdainful at the picture
her brother had just been looking not a second before.
"No, no,
no" she put her hand on her hips and looked strait in then eye of Trunks, she
was not going to let him continue those awful word any longer! "You are the
ones who don't understand, I don't want to hear this kind of talk when he came
here. You will not mention this thing when he will come here! He is a member of
this family, and He. Will. Be. Treated. At. Such!" even
if it has to kill you!
"You said
that because you know we are…"
Bulma
looked surprise at her son, he was not the kind of boy to just let go in the
middle of an argument. He just looked far away as if he was trying to sense
something. It took her a few second to recognize the sign: he was sensing Ki.
Bra seemed as lost as she did; although she could sense ki as her brother, she
was not as good as he was.
"Trunks,
his you father back" finally!
"…hn?…oh
no, but something missing…" he looked in deep concentration.
"Missing?"
but Trunks didn't answers. Trunks had grown up surrounding by the strong ki of
the other z fighter so that he was use to feel them move around. In fact, he
was so used to feel strong ki that sometime Goten and him could miss a new
power level. However, if they could miss a new power level rising they couldn't
miss one missing. It was like if you grow up in the countryside, you could miss
a new star showing up, but you couldn't miss all the star disappearing and that
was Trunks had felt. Several ki was missing but he didn't know with one it was.
There were strong enough for him to notice, but not enough to tell him which
one was missing. Since guessing didn't work, he decided to go by elimination.
"Mom who
was at the party, tell me each name, someone his missing" he look of deep concentration
didn't waver.
Who was at
the party" of course if he sense Ki missing, it must have been from one of
our friend "Well there Yamcha" she looked at him but he just shook his
head.
"His there"
"Videl?"
"There"
"Tenshinhan?"
"There"
"Chaozu"
"….his
missing" he frowned. Something bog was missing and he couldn't tell what. Next
to him, Bra was looking nervously at Trunks.
"Missing?
But were could he have gone?" let me see…he left with Lunch and Master Roshi
no? I'm sure he did!
Trunks
voice held an urgency that worries Bulma much more "He's not the only one, tell
me the other" Something his missing…I know it but what?
"Master
Roshi?"
"Missing." Him
too! Were could they be.
"Mr.
Satan?"
"There"
"Chichi"
"There"
"Pan" Bra
holds her breath.
"There" Bra
makes a sound of relief, since the beginning she had been worried that she had
been missing too.
"Wait a
second" Bulma was passing in her head all the people who were missing "If
Master Roshi and Choazu is missing and the other not, maybe it's the group that
went to master Roshi Island that have disappear, try to sense the people on
master Roshi island." Who went with him, let me see, Choazu, Master Roshi,
Oolong, Lunch, I think I miss someone.
"Its not
there" Trunks frown didn't decrease, as him something was bothering him.
"What's not
there?" She looked at Bra and she was as confuse as him.
"The
"Lunch? Not
really, why do you ask?"
"It's just
that her power level is very strong that all, anyway, I can't sense the
"I don't
like that" sitting back, she put her head on her arm. Why me…
The brief
family stayed silent for two second before they mind came back in force "Why
don't you and Goten go find out what happened?" Bra was already making plan in
her heard.
"Great
idea, we are going to the
"And I will
call Pan to ask her if Videl sense anything" contrary to her brother she
decided that this business was more important. So she was already heading
toward the stair.
"Why call
her? It's not as if she could do anything about it" he eye didn't move away
form the food.
"And what
about asking me before taking any decision, Hum?" Bulma was standing, looking
at both her children planning, without even asking her for help. They have
grown so fast.
"Sorry
about that" at least they look repentant!
"Well at
least I know you both have inherited my awesome thinking skill, my amazing organization skill, and by
beautiful brain." Both children smirked. "The plan you have come up with his
very good, even the Videl part, Trunks!" She added the last part when she saw
him sticking his tong at her sister. "Trunks, go wake up Goten fast and flew
over there, Bra go call Videl and I will go see what is taking your father so
long. I mean he was just supposed to go there, grab the boy, and bring him
there. This doesn't take long. I wonder what taking him so long!"
Both child
stopped in their track to look at they mother.
"He could
have met a new enemy"
"Or decided
to finally take Kakarotto down"
"Or decided
to train on the GR"
"OR decided
to eat all the food first"
"Or…"
"I got it, thank
you! Now leave." the second after she was alone in the kitchen, if she wasn't
used to it she would have taught she had been talking with herself all this
time. Now mister you had better not get yourself killed, I told you to come
here with him and them we will ask him about the immense power we felt, you
promise me! If you get killed Vegeta, I will never talk to you! And you will
have to go get your own damn food and you can say goodbye to the GR. She
pushed a little tear away from her eye, then went down to her lab to see how
she could save her husband and friend butt once again as she was bound to do
it. I'm not enough for that…
@~~|~~@
"Goten wake
up" when he came to his room he saw the boy still asleep, Trunks couldn't help
but smirk. I totally exhausted him; he's so not going to be in a good mood,
he hate when I do that.
"Go~ten" he
made his way toward the bed, jumping next to him, he was about to make his move
when Goten moved a little bit.
"Trunks,
you come any closer and I kill you" he didn't even open eye, laying on his
back, he looked asleep, well asleep if it wasn't for the large ki-ball in his
right hand.
"Goten
don't be like that, you have to wake up" he took the ki-ball for his hand and
throw it outside, nearly killing one of the employer that were walking outside.
"Get up!"
Goten looked at him surprise "My entire body hurt and you want me to get
up! Yeah sure, just give me five minute and I will be right there!" he closing
his eye back "This is the last time we do it after a sparring match"
"But both
thing always make you happy, Goten" Trunks was trying to look miserable but it
was no use since Goten had his eye closed.
"Not one
right after the other, and certainly not when I am on the bottom in both of
them! Damn! I'm hurt in part of my body I didn't even know I had!"
"All that
and a free biology course in bonus, damn Goten you have all you wish for"
"Go away
and don't come back until at least a can feel my body again. Shit I'm hurt in
placed I didn't even know I could hurt!"
"I think
this particular aches came after the sparring match Goten" he was doing all he
could to stifle his laugh, but he was slowly losing the battle.
"I'm not
talking about that you baka! Why the Hell my ears hurt!" Trunks
was laughing so much he fell of the bed.
"Heu…opps?"
"Trunks!"
"Sorry
Goten, I think I was a little carried away last night!"
"Yeah
right"
Jumping on
the bed again, he took Goten into his arm. Now Goten has the time to think
about his situation. That when he felt something. After passing the five next
second trying to find what he decide to tell Trunks about it.
"Trunks, don't you fell as if something his
missing"
"Yeah! That
was what I was supposed to come here for!
Goten got
out of Trunks arm to look at him "You mean they are really missing" he looked
Trunks with confusion in his eye.
"Of course
what did you think they were doing, playing hide and seek" being up, he begun
to tried to find his clothes in the mess that was his room.
"Hide and
seek?"
"Goten come
one! We have to go find what happened to them and we have a really big day
today"
"What do we
have to do?" Goten was looking everywhere, trying to focuses his mind.
"Father
will probably come today so we have to prepare the house, find out why all the
ki are missing, arrange the GR to make sure we didn't break anything last
night, make a plan with Bra for 'our visitor', go to mom labs to put repair the
food maker, and I think that It."
"All that!"
"All that
before diner, so move" he had finish dressing himself and was now heading for
the door.
"I didn't
even eat yet!"
Trunk chuckled,
coming inside again, he put a smile kiss on his noses. "Don't worry, I'm going
to bring you some food, you know I would never make you go without food, now
move!" then he was out of the room.
Sighting,
he fell back on the bed I hope they will come back today, after all this
talk about the future Trunks I wonder how he look like, really, not just like a
picture, but for real.
"Goten move
it! You have 10 minutes," he yelled from down stair.
"10
minutes!" getting up the bed he went to the bathroom, went to his room,
changed, go to the kitchen, grab the last third of the food and find himself in
front of the door in 9.23.
"Come Goten
we have to go to the
"I'm here"
"Bye mom!
We are leaving"
"Bye Bulma,
Thank for the foods"
Then they
were out of the house and into the sky in search of the missing Ki
@~~|~~@
Tenshinhan
and Yamucha were flying for a while now toward Kami Lookout all the while
trying to sense they friend but it was no uses. They were well gone. Tenshinhan
couldn't help but think about what have happened. He was waiting impatiently
for Choazu to go to King Kai planet so that they will be able to talk, or that
what he hoped will happen.
"Yo
Tenshinhan, I'm beat up, what could have been powerful enough to destroyed the
entire
"Tenshinhan?"
he asked softly so as not to startle him.
"…"
"Tenshinhan!"
he said a little bit louder this time he got the reaction he expected, well
kind of.
"Why the
hell did you hit me?" Yamucha was massaging his jaw.
"Sorry, you
startle me, what do you wanted anyway" he didn't even look at him, whatever he
was thinking was still bothering him.
"Look man
what's up?"
"Don't you
think it's strange that we can't sense any power level?" he had been thinking
about it sense he said goodbye to Choazu. That just didn't make any sense at
all.
"What do
you mean we can't sense power level, of course we can, there, not far away we
can feel Goten and Trunks flying and there sure seem in a hurry!" At least
if thing go bad we will have those two, and if thing go rea~lly bad we will
have Gotenks.
"There have probably sense it; those boys are attracted to danger as Goku to
food"
"Or Vegeta
to a challenge!" for a few second Tenshinhan debated against talking about what
have happened with Yamucha and Bulma but decide against it, there were more
important matter to deal with. "But I was not talking about that. Whatever kill
our friends and destroy the
"Yeah
you're right, I didn't sense someone new." Yamucha stopped dead in his track
when an idea strike him "But maybe we are looking at the wrong thing"
"What do
you mean?" he stopped flying too and return toward Yamucha.
"Maybe we
should search for something else like someone having too much power then they
suppose to have" he shrugged his shoulder. "Just an idea"
"And a good
one, way better then my" although I would have preferred my, was if one of
our friend who did this? Choazu hurry up, you are the only one who will be able
to help us
"What was
your idea?"
"Hum?...oh,
that the Android have come back" The person must have gain this power
recently, or maybe way before so that we didn't notice it? No, it must have
been a few days…
He took a
few minute for Tenshinhan to notice that Yamucha was not following him. Looking
back, he saw a wet Yamucha coming his way.
"Yamucha?"
he looked confuse at his friend who seemed not to incline to meet his eye.
"Heu,
nothing. But I think I prefer my idea" he looked nervously around him.
"Me too,
but of course you know what your idea mean, no?" Let me see, who hade gain
more power they last few days…
"What?"
Wait, if
it been a few day, everybody could be it "That one of our friend his doing that"
since we all decide to start fighting again, so that Krillin could have a
sparring partner. On the other hand, maybe…
This time
he didn't notice.
"Yo,
Yamucha, Tenshinhan what are you doing here." Then looking closely at Yamucha
"And why are you so wet?"
"None of
your business! Hey, Korin good to see you"
"I'm glad
to see you too. Tenshinhan"
Tenshinhan
he just nodded his head. He had never had a very strong relationship with
either.
"Hey Yajirobe,
do you know what happening? Many ki have just disappears into tin air!"
"No" Both
warrior looked surprise at they comrade.
"How can
you not have sense the missing Ki!"
"I can't
sense ki"
"…"
"…"
"Tenshinhan,
Yamucha, why don't you just tell us what have been happened and we will tell
you what we can"
"If you
want, well you know about Bulma and her time machine right? So…"

When Gohan finally find
Trunks, he was in a large laboratory. They were quite a few computers and machine
parts. In the center of the lab was a large machine that remind Gohan of the
gravity room but more much bigger and by the look of thing way better. However,
although it was very impressive, it was obviously not Trunks masterpiece. In
the far corner lay the biggest ship he never saw in his life. It was round in
shape, the same model as Freeza ship, and was totally black. If it were in
space the ship would have been invisible, but the closer he got to the ship the
better his view and he could see that it was far from finish.
When he came closer, he saw Trunks was on his knee in front of a
mini-computer that was connected to the ship and he was furiously typing. For a
few second, he looked at Trunks. If his Trunks looked more like Vegeta, this
Trunks remind him of Bulma: he had put his hair in a ponytail and put a jacket
on. With is back at him he looked like a bigger version of Bulma who had grown
her hair and been working out and learn how to use ki he looked at
Trunks blasting away some faulty part.
They may have come from different time, but they shared common trait.
One of those was to immerge themselves in what they do so much that they could
lose all sense of time. It was so bad that Bulma had to put a timer in the
gravity room, to prevent her husband and her son to past all they days in it.
Vegeta was less then pleased with that, saying that if it the case, they should
put one inside Bulma lab since see was know to stay inside of it hour after
hour, even days.
Walking behind him, he makes sure to make some noise, a habit he
develops from interacting with Vegeta.
"Hey Gohan, how are you" he was looking at him with a big if a little
bit weary smile.
Thank Kami he looked a little bit more like
himself. "Trunks
you should take a break, you have been working non stop since our last battle"
he looked to see if he was injured but nothing could be seen with the large
jacket he had on.
"No I'm all right, thank for asking" he eye were back to what he was
typing.
He frowned a little bit "Trunks did you even eat or sleep since the last
time we saw you?"
"No"
"You have to sleep, or at lest eat, you are going to faint!" he was
seriously beginning to be worried for him.
"Gohan to say the truth eating is the last thing in my mind and as for
sleeping, I'm insomniac" All the while there were talking not once did he look
away from what he was doing.
"I need to work, and we don't have time to waste, you do realize that
the first thing his going to do when he land its killed everybody in sight. I
hope you didn't program the ship to land near you house" since he had his eye
on the computer he didn't see Gohan turned pale.
Shit did Bulma program it to land on CC…I can't
remember…Oh Kami no she didn't, something to do with the energy wave. Thanks
Kami!
It took a while for him to regain
his wit, but after a few minute, he was calm again.
"You know, your are not the only one here, we can still help you, I
can't still help you." Even if the equation on the screen mean absolutely
nothing to him (math was never of his strong point) he really wanted to help
him, he was feeling bad to see him work while he was just… going to get beat up
by Vegeta. Gohan sweatdrop.
Trunks finally raise his head from his work "Gohan do you know anything
about time travel?" seeing Gohan lower his head, he take that as a yes "I guess
so, so that just leave me, but you can stay with me we didn't even have the
chance to talk together"
"Okay" he sat down next to Trunks, looking the ship.
"Trunks are you rebuilding the ship? This doesn't look like the last one
you had" it beautiful
"No this is a space ship, it built for space travel, deep space travel,
time travel, and many other function including battle ship"
"It looks great!"
"Thanks it a really big project for me but it will take at least two
month to finish it"
"Two month you said 72 hour." If it takes two months, everybody will
be dead!
Totally unconscious of what the word had done to Gohan, he keeps on
typing. "We only need the time travel function of the ship, so I just have to
isolate this function from the other, make it so that it will work
undependably. That procedure will take me one to two days, the last few hours
will be use to fill it and to fix the body of the ship which I didn't finish
yet"
"It very impressive! That must have taken a long time to do it"
"Yeah, that had been my hobby for the last 10 years"
For a while, Gohan just looked at Trunks working. Then the discussion he
had with his dad and what he saw earlier came to his mind.
"Trunks, I'm sorry," his voice sounded so sad, Trunks look at him
"Sorry, for what?" Gohan refuse to meet his eye.
"For what you have been living all this time, I guess" And fir not
been able to help you now.
Trunks put his hand on his shoulder "Gohan don't be stupid, it not your
fault" whatever you say, I know I should have try harder.
"Trunks, father and me were thinking, maybe you can come leave with use
afterward" he looked expectantly at him, but he just return his eye on his work.
"I don't know Gohan"
"But I…"
"Please let talk something else, why don't you talk to me about you"
"\if you want, well, I'm a teacher, I'm married, I have one daughter, I
have a younger brother, I…"
"You have a brother and a daughter? That nice, what'd they name?"
"My brother is Goten, he look like a smaller version of Dad, and my
daughter name his Pan, she is a beautiful as Videl" Like each time he was
talking his family he was felling proud of them.
"Videl, Strange I already heard this name somewhere"
It's true he don't know about her, he sure
going to be surprise! "She is Mr. Satan daughter"
"Mr. Satan daughter? You have married Mr. Satan daughter!"
"Yes." Then it hit him "do you have a Videl" wonder if she knew the
Gohan here
"We had"
We had? She must have been killed by the
Android "tell me
what happened"
"Well you know the way her father his, is little habit to heu…take
credit for thing he didn't really do"
What have to do with the android? "I know"
"So one day, he was bragging about some enemy he defeated and since at
the time I was still upset because Gohan had died I didn't take it very well"
That has nothing to do with the android "A little upset? Didn't take that well?" now Gohan was looking
carefully at the young saiyin by his side.
"Well when her father begin to talk about his many 'achievement', I got
a little mad, then we begin to talk, or better yet discuss, then he said stuff
that I'm sure he regret, and I said
stuff that I didn't mean either. Then after some heated discussion a few punch
were throw, thing escalated, more punch were throw, etc, and he stayed in a
coma for 3 week."
What the hell "Stayed in a coma for three weeks? Trunks that
hardly my definition of a discussion!" I don't believe he put my father in
law on a hospital bed.
Gohan was too shocked to say a thing.
"And what did Videl do when he wake up" he looked at Trunks that didn't
seem fazed at the slightest.
"He never woke up"
Kami "you got to be kidding" he has killed my
father in law.
"No and that 'event' sure didn't ameliorate our relation since Videl and
me have past disagreement before"
"What do you mean past disagreement?" please don't tell me he killed
her also.
"Look I don't want to talk about it, just know that when I was little a
was a little possessive and that a didn't take kindly to people giving me
order, but lets not talk about that. And you don't have to worry, I have
changed a lot and I know how to behave myself trust me."
"I hope so" I had better make sure Videl don't know about that…and
Vegeta either. His going to be jealous, Trunks had done some thing he was
trying to do for almost 10 years!
"You know I can't wait to see your daughter, do she look like you"
"I suppose but she had my power" Pan is going to love him
"I'm sure she will grown up to be a beautiful girl, she must be the
stronger little around"
"Not really, she may be way stronger then Marron, but Bra his stronger
then her" and both of them dying to become even stronger. I'm beginning to
see what mother mean by Vegeta have a bad effect on the kids!
"Bra and Marron?"
It's true he don't know about
18! "Your little sister and 18 and Krillin daughter"
"Krillin had a daughter with 18!" Trunks was so shock that he stopped
working to look at him.
"I know what you think, but don't worry, 18 had changed. She his not
same woman as she was, so don't worry. And Marron is a sweet little girl,
although she died along with 18" Poor Krillin…
"Marron dead?" I hardly think
they could 'kill' a piece of junk
"Yes along with 17" I hope this monster rot in hell, how could he
have killed Marron! Gohan was still under shock of Marron dead.
"At least now krillin will be next to his family" Damn she probably
did something to the poor guy. Good thing they are both gone now. However, it's
sad for the little girl.
Gohan looking at him surprise, he remember quite clearly that Trunks was
out cold when he came into the room to tell his father about Krillin "How you
know Krillin was killed" then a though came to him "how do you know Krillin was
even there in the first place?"
He raised his head from the computer "I don't sleep." Lowering his head
to the computer, he whispered so low that Gohan nearly didn't heard him "I'm
always aware of what happening around me" he pushed a last button then closed
the computer "always."
Gohan didn't know what to say, so he look around to find another
subject, seeing that Trunks has closed the computer and curious to know why
(its was way to early for the ship to be finish) he just had to ask, "What are
you doing"
He smiled, knowing it for what it was, a change of subject, "The
calculation are finish" he got up from the floor and handed a hand to Gohan to
help him out of the floor.
"You finish all" he looked with amazement at him, during they talk, not
once did Trunks stopped working, but he didn't think he would have finishing
that early!
"I wish, but no. We will still need a couple of hours to fill the Ship
and to repair the body, not all, but at least to point were we could use it.
But the important things are done. Come we better rest" looking at some screen,
he was making some last arrangement so that the computer will be working even
if he wasn't there.
"I thought that you never sleep" he was practically falling apart. He
was not use to stay up that long.
"I don't, but for you, I think I will be able to make an exception" he
smile at him
"Well that all I was asking for" at least, he's going to rest a
little bit
"So why don't you tell me about your life?" he was putting away all the
instruments he had been using.
"Tell you about my life?" Gohan raise his eyes on the ceiling making
Trunks chuckle a little bit "Well" he drop a glance to Trunks and for the first time since he saw him, he was
smiling genuinely "Well I suppose I can tell you about The Great Saiyaman…"
"The Great Saiyaman? What's that?" locking the door behind him,
he then looked at a grinning Gohan.
"Who's that and you are looking at him" then under the 'surprise' look
of Trunks he pushed a button on his watch and transform.
You have got to be kidding me "Gohan,
that…really…really…hum…that…really…really…hum" seeing the hopeful look on his
face he sweatdrop. This is not happening to me. "Original!"
"Do you want to see my move?"
"No!"

"Lunch what

"And since

"Lunch are

"I am all

"What the

"Who

After
talking to Bulma, Videl took her daughter and her father who was still at her
house to go to Bulma's. She knew that her children would be most safe over
there then in her own house. Night had already fallen, but she was determiner
to go over there, even if she has to fly all night long.
"Pan,
Father hurry up, I'm leaving now!" she was packing only the bare essential.
"Videl do
you think it will be safe to go to Capsule Corporation." Mr. Satan was getting
nervous by the minutes.
"Yes Dad, we
will be safer there. And when Gohan will come back, he will there also, now
hurry up!" She was running around the
house, trying pack as much as she could in the short time, for some reason, she
felt that she needed to go from her house. The feeling was so strong that she
was tented to just leave the packing, to grasp her child and her father and to
fly over there.
"Mama, do
you think papa his going to be all right" she turned around to see her daughter
looking at the window.
"Of course,
have faith in him, he will come back to us" while she was looking at her, she
saw blood on her face.
"Pan! Get
out in front of the window!" running toward her daughter she was that it was
just in illusion. But that was just too much for her. She just had to leave!
"Never mind
the other thing, we are leaving now!" Both her father and her daughter looked
at her with surprise. "What are you doing?! I'm leaving now! Out!"
The other never
saw like that before, so without another word, they left the house, not even waiting
to close the light still on, or to close the door. As soon as they were in the
car, as soon as the last door was close, it was off to Bulma`s house.
A few
second later, a black mist covers the house.
Nothing was
left after its passage…

"Goten something is very wrong, we have to return and warn everyone" his
tone was dark and serious, thing were not going well. Not well at all.
"What do you think happened and what do you thing its mean, we didn't sense
anything" he had been looking and stretching is mind as far as he couldn't but
he saw and sense nothing.
"That means only one thing Goten, that something had taken the ship to
our time" Where are you father?
"I new enemy his there, and we are the only saiyin here" What is
going on here…
He turned, facing his long time friend and lover "Kami help us"
"Kami help us all"
