And We Shall Be Victorious
Moon Seeker
Chapter 13 - Death
Saiyins Queen
Damn. It was not even three o'clock in the morning and he was already awake. She could hear him move around from the room next to hers. After a few minutes of feet's walking and things been dragged around, she heard the door close and sound of footstep fading away. He was up to the gravity room early today. With a grunt, she finally woke up all the way and went to the bathroom. What she needed right this second was a long soak in the bathtub. She just knew this day was going to be hell. She just knew it. You don't live around a bunch of warriors as long as she did and not pick up a few neat tricks along the way like been able to sense danger before it gets to you and kill you or worst.
Just the though of all the things she had to do this days was giving her a headache. Sometime it seemed that she worked harder then anyone else. The other were just training for a battle that would probably take a few hour of they time; but she had to work days before the battle, during the battle and even after. Been the only genius was not an easy task that was for sure.
She shakes her head, the guys just though that she comes up with all those much-needed gadgets in the bat of an eye and that was it. Well no. Okay, well yes, she could make them very fast, but it tokes day of preparation before hand, days of thinking. She was able to deliver her work because while everyone was partying, she was inside her lab, thinking and preparing plan for new invention that could and would be needed in the future. Of course, no one cared about that. As far as they were concerned she was just there as a cook or someone to cheer them up in the sideline. Well it was they lost and she was not going to argue anymore. When she was young she had been mad, but now she didn't care. All the Z fighters were nice people and had many skills. Understanding woman need…well let just say it was not part of Master Roshi training.
Entering inside the bathroom, she chuckle softly; she sounded awfully like Vegeta just about now: always preparing for the worst. At least she was not as bad as he was, she knew how to have fun, her. Removing her pajamas, she looked at herself in the mirror; for a woman who had two kids she was still the young beautiful girl she was. Every man on the streets was looking at her with admiration and adoration. Every single man, except the only one she wanted to drop death at her feet. She was probably too much of a human for his taste. She didn't fight, didn't eat twice her size as a small collation and time had in nasty effect on her physical appearance and her natural and heaven bound beauty, but so what!
"Those saiyin girls probably couldn't build a space ship to save they sorry life!"
Okay that was somewhat stupid but was it too much to ask to have Vegeta notice her as his, maybe not wife but the one who give him two beautiful and powerful kids and not just the one who give him shelter and food? Most of the time, she really didn't mind but sometime it just pisses her off royally. Nevertheless, she supposes she should be happy; at least he was always around the house, not counting the time when he went to train himself for the androids. He was there, always training, never talking with them, making an ass of himself most of the time, but he was there, alive, leaving next to her or as close as the Gravity Room and the kitchens were permitting it. She could think of many women who would have killed to be able to have something like that, mainly one Chichi. It must be thought to have a husband that die so many times and didn't realize that people would miss him. He was so clueless sometime.
Going to the bathtub, she filled it with hot water. She needed to relax; Kami only knew when she would be able to have a rest next. However, this will not be possible if she started to think about her husband social kill.
Damn now what to think of that will help her relax and be productive…her usual 'find a girlfriend for Trunks' was out of the question that was for sure, and thinking about a way to kill the Medusa just forced her to remember that her parent were dead. As much as clueless and naïve they may have been, they were still her parent. No, she needed to think about sometime…hum…Bra just woke up…She needed to buy a new dress for her but it was not productive enough. Hum…needed to buy more food she was all out. That was constructive but definitely not entertaining! Hum…Trunks just woke up…Trunks...Trunks ship, or better Mirai Trunks ship.
She was so excited she jumped out of the bathtub and nearly ran out the door until she remembers what the point of the exercise was. Thank Kami she didn't have the time to go out of the room. That would have been too big an embarrassment!
Entering the bathtub once more, she started mentally tearing apart the space ship. Frankly, it was a true mastership. It was so beautiful even if they were some major error of construction. Error she would have never make herself meaning that her future self would not a made it either. Thus, he had built it on his own without her excellent advice. Her children were so damn intelligent. Of course, it couldn't be helped when they had a genius for mother and a very intelligent man for father.
Without meaning too, She begin hiking about Mirai comment about been her little sweet boy or something very close. Damn, he sure changed from the shy boy who first came into they life. She frowned while taking a bar of soap. Nevertheless, something just didn't change after all this time. She could see he was still seeking Vegeta approval and as always, Vegeta seemed totally unaware of this. He could be so oblivious sometime it was making her mad!
Seeing her calm disposition disappearing pretty fast, she changed the subject. She was supposed to think about Mirai ship. Now where was she? Oh yeah. Sinking deep into the water, she started thinking about small error he made while building it.
First of all, the ship had way too many main functions; normally, or a good way to go at it was to have two main functions, tree auxiliary functions and the other secondary functions. That way it will cut off on circuit dependence. A really bad idea. The last thing you need was the entire ship shut down because you connected you coffee maker into a surcharged circuit in the middle of deep space, in a furious battle or worst during in faster then light travel. That was exactly the kind of thing that could jeopardize you health seriously.
Then it lacked vital space. The ship was slightly disproportioned. The same way that Vegeta pod and Freeza ship were. She supposes the reason was that the ship was principally meant as transportation and not as living arrangement for a long period of time. But if you plan on living inside the ship and travailing into deep space as it seemed that were Trunks was aiming, comfort was going to be of prime importance.
Nevertheless, she was impressed. All the error he made was probably due to the fact that he had no model to base himself on, except Freeza ship, and- wait a minute. She raised herself slightly. He said he stared the ship years ago, that mean he would have built the shipway before he never saw Freeza ship for the first time. That only mean…
She opened her eye; that could only mean that he had built the function before even visualize the ship. Damn. Of course, most of the time she did it that way, when the project was small but never on such a scale. She shakes her head. Damn that kid was just too much some time.
Anyhow, she couldn't stay in her room much longer. She just has to look at the ship. And beside, the others were already awake and she jut knew they were up to something.
Getting out of the bathtub and the bathroom, she went to dress herself for the day. Since she intended to pass the majority of her time working on the ship she wanted to be comfortable.
Putting her working gear on she was up for some work, but before that, she needed a cup of coffee. Very Strong one. She was going to need it if she was going to work non-stop. For some strange reason she had the feeling they were going to need it somehow and until now, her feeling never let her down. But first just a sneak peak at the ship
Walking toward the kitchens, she saw Videl, seated in the dark. Poor girl. She didn't know what to say. She hesitates a little bit but then she decided to let her to her own tough. Right now, she was not the most welcome company when she was in this mood.
So she just make a cup of tea (they was no more coffee) and decided to go in the basement. To say that she was happy would have been an understatement. It was such a wonder. Of course they was many thing she needed to correct but in the end if was just a true wonder.
And she had actually a few surprises for him. Damn was he going to be surprise or what!
@~~|~~@
"Mother"
"AAAHH!" Shit what the fuck was wrong with them anyway! "What the fuck is wrong with you anyway, how many time should I'll tell you not to scare me like that!" looking behind her she could see her two son, both of them looking quite handsome and totally ignoring her. Not once did they eye wave one bit from the ship. She loved them a lot, but sometime she would do anything for a little sympathy.
"Hey! Guys! I'm here! You know? The mother you nearly killed to death! Hellll~looo!" she winced, that was not exactly a good thing to say to Mirai-Trunks but looking at him she didn't have to be hurry. He didn't even look at her!
"Mother did you make all this arrangement since this morning?" hn? Blinking, she looked at the monitor connected to the ship and was surprise by what she saw. The corrections were almost completely finished. She wonders what happen to the little sneak pick she wanted to make. Anyway, by the look of thing she was amazing, she almost finish the basic function and it was pretty good if she say so herself.
"Well I suppose yes." Looking at them, she couldn't help but smile. They both looked impressed and they eyes were open wide. Although she knew that they reason were different.
Then she frowned, she wanted to talk to them, she was even surprise that they were in the same place together. She just knew that they were something bad between them. For some strange reason Trunk just hated Mirai. Why? It was anyone guesses since they practically never talked. It was strange; after all, it was like hating yourself. Talk about having personality issue!
"Mother did you even sleep" Trunks was looking at her with such a look that she giggle.
"Yes 'mother' I did sleep, but now I need some strong coffee I want to avoid falling asleep. And you are coming with me!" Trunk smiles at her, as for Mirai his eye didn't leave he ship for one second. "Well let's go, I really need a cup of coffee, and I don't want any one of you down here!" Both Trunks looked at her, head tilted, picture of innocence. "Don't you dare give me this look let go" nodding they head they left.
No once did they look at each other, not once did they even acknowledge the presence of each other. It's a good thing that friendliness was not a requirement to killing the Medusa or else they would have had one major problem.
While they were walking up the stair, she looked back at the ship. Even if it was not totally, finish, if something was ever to happen it would be ready to fly.
Her instinct was finally put at rest but not her heart. Something was going to happen; she just knew it.
She only hope it will not last too long, she did have an appointment with the masseuse and her hairdresser later that day.
But the next thing on order was getting this cup of coffee. She was practically falling asleep on her feet!
@~~|~~@
She was standing in the control room of the gravity room. The little bitch! How dare she insult her and her family that way! Someone sure needed a reality check soon. What the fuck! She was talking as if Vegeta was the one who make them that way. He wasn't even gay for kami sake! The woman was a delusions chronic doubled with paranoia. She was a psychiatric wet dream, and dream fantasy all in one.
Anyway, it was useless, she was better off seeing in what mood Vegeta was because she was sure Chichi would try to talk to him, or better yell at him. The last thing she needed was blood on her new carpet. When she looked inside the GR, she had the surprise of her life. What the hell were they talking about? Well there was just one thing to do. Pushing a button, she opened the sound. Nobody knew she had put it there, but it was just as a safeguard. In case Vegeta hurt himself badly he could call out. The fact that Vegeta still though that the GR was soundproof and thus would not cry out was beyond the point.
She opened the com and waiting until one of them talking.
- I am not going to allow this kind of behavior anymore do you understand. -
- I don't understand what you meant Vegeta. -
What they were talking about?
-What do you think you were doing with the boy anyways!-
Analyzing the way he said boy it seemed he was talking about Trunks. Herr…Mirai that is. Vegeta used the word so often that they could actually say whom he was talking about just by the way he was saying it. But what did Goku did with Trunks anyway?
- Vegeta, I didn't do anything, common he was just feeling a little bit sad by the way you treat him. -
- I treat him the same way I treat everybody, I don't know why I should do him any favor. -
Well that my husband always just and fair to a fault.
- Vegeta, look relax we are just friend. You know that I like to have friend. And… -
- I know you are friend with anybody, even the stupid worm! -
Well on that one, she had to agree with Vegeta, he really should be a little more…discriminating in choosing his friend. I mean really Buu stomach worm? That taking it a bit too far.
- Look Vegeta, I know something is wrong with you, when you told me –
- Forget what I told you I did mean none of that -
Mean what! She was practically tearing apart her hair now.
- Vegeta, you know I'll be always there for you, everyday until the end -
- Are you trying to help me or push me to suicide? -
- You are not nice Vegeta. -
- And you are not smart kakarrotte -
Damn hearing them talk was like pulling teeth, slow, hard, and painful. Could they just come out and said the damn thing all ready.
- This is the reason why I didn't want your brat to come with us -
- What do you mean? -
- If any one of us didn't make it, we would not have been missed -
- What do you mean by it -
- Please. If you die, who will miss you, you are gone so often they wouldn't even notice it. The Namek is the same, he had no family, as for Krillin, hi entire family his dead. Who will miss him?"
- And you Vegeta? -
- Me? Nobody will miss me -
- I would miss you -
- You are in idiot -
- That not nice you know -
- Really? Good. For a few seconds there I tough I lost my touch -
This was not true, she would have missed him very much as well as the children
- Vegeta, Bulma would have missed you -
Yeah! Tell him Goku.
-But since I don't care about they opinion it doesn't matter now would it?
That. Hurt. That hurt very badly. Taking a bit breath, she step away from the communication unit and dropped on a nearby chair. She would never have believed it but it hurt. Where they right all along? Was she nothing for him then some earthling that give him shelter and food? But she couldn't believe it. Not after all the things he did for her, not after the tender moment they had together. For Kami sake, he even dies for her! He must be feeling something at least, even a little affection. Rising for the chair she looked inside, Goku was on the floor probably hit by Vegeta. Her vision begins to be blurred, blinking she advance her hand to touch the screen when she realized that it was her tears that was blurring her vision.
Well no more, she was not going to cry for this, this, this, man any longer. Leaving the room, she went away, not noticing Chichi walking by her.
Unbeknown to her, a small tear escape her eye.

Sniffing a little bit, she entered one of the living rooms. What she saw almost make her laugh aloud, Videl was glaring at Gohan and he was trying to make himself the smaller he could get it was just to damn funny to watch. But since she had pity on him, she decided to go talk to save him.
"Videl was the problem, you are going to scare him for life this way!" they both turned around and smiled. They were such a cute couple, and she was good to Gohan, keep him grounded. And as a bonus she was strong enough to be a challenge for him. She hoped nothing would separate them. Not even—
"…all right?" Hein? Seeing them looking at her strangely, she shook her head: she was worried for nothing.
"Yeah, so what is the big argument this time" both of they blushed bright red, but was that a note of weary she sense? A note of uneasiness? They had been arguing a lot lately and the all Mirai issue just increase the frequency but she didn't think it was that serious.
"Well I want to go home to check thing over and Gohan insist to come with me." She glared at Gohan who just looked at the ceiling "Even Chichi agree with him!"
"Well in that case just do as she said you don't want to make her mad no?" It took all her best effort not to start bitching at the woman in front of her oldest son. How dare she call her an old rag!
"That not the problem, I will bring Gohan, but I refuse to take Pan with me."
"Pan?"
"Yes, Pan" looking behind her, she could see the little girl leaning on the wall, a frown on her face. Problem in paradise it seem.
"I will no bring her with me Gohan and that final, this is not a short vacation, I have thing to do. You have thing to do!"
"But look she really wants to go! And I will be looking out for her…" Stopping listening to the discussion she looked at Pan, she knew that both Bra and Pan wanted to be recognize as warriors in they own right, but it was difficult since all the saiyins were so far ahead, they were destined to do catch up for the rest of they life. They were always left behind as if they were just nuisance and she could understand that she was feeling tire of that.
And she could see that Gohan really didn't want to be left alone with Videl for any amount of time. Mmmnn…
"Well and my opinion, you should take Pan with you" everybody stared at her. Guess she interrupted some hard argument, oh well.
"What!"
"Yeah! Thank untie Bulma, I love you to death!" that said she flew out of the room without a glance behind.
Seeing the angry look Videl give her, she patted her shoulder "Videl relax she just wanted to pass more time with you guy." Watching as Gohan lowered his head, she raises her eyebrows "that was the reason she wanted to come, ne?"
Since Videl was seething with rage she turned toward Gohan "Well yes, and also because Trunks is going with us."
She looked blankly at her, so what if Trunks came with-
"Mirai-Trunk" oh?…oh…oh!…Oh! Damn maybe it was not a good idea.
"Let go." Without waiting for an answer, she left them behind.
"Wait Videl!" Stopping in her track, she turned toward him. "Trunks will-" Growling under her breath she pinned him with her glare.
"You!" With that, she left them behind.
Looking at Gohan who seemed so desolate, she decided to help him. He was such a darling.
"Don't you worry Gohan" Giving a big smile, she pushed him toward the door. "I'm going to tell him to catch up with you guy kay?"
"Kay" grinning, he gives her a quit kiss on the cheek then left at his turn.
Well that went well, now to go in search of Mirai-Trunks.
"Mirai? Mirai! Where are oh! You're there" again she notice the way he face froze when she said the same Mirai, something must really bothering him that was for sure!
"Mirai, Gohan is living, you better catch him."
"Okay, bye Mother"
"Trunks, tell me something, do you like the name Mirai? You know if you really despise it we could always change it you know." As soon as she saw his blank look, she knew that it was a sore point for him, whatever happened he would never say anything to her, at least not yet. When he was acting like that, he looked much more like her Trunks that she cared to admit.
"No no mother, it's all right, it nothing. Just me and my silly though." Leaning over her, she gives him a little kiss. "Now I have to go" with a last wink, he flew away, strait out of the window from the third stage.
One day, she was going to die of a heart attack before any of her children got married. While she was watching him fly away, she saw Chichi enter the car, Goten behind her. Probably she wanted some time alone with them. Just thinking about what Chichi will do to them, she winced.
She probably should have said something a little bit later, they will be lucky if she let him and Goten train with Vegeta and Trunks from now one. And they needed both of them to defeated this monster.

She was still watching outside when she saw Bura come into her sight, she was sitting in the grass, playing with one of her porcelain doll; a sure sign that she was in a bad mood. She was so like her father in so many ways.
"She definitely toke from your side"
"Vegeta!" she hated when he sneaked on her like that! And it was not even true. Turning toward him, she saw that he was watching also, his body covered in sweat in his usually workout clothe. Seeing him make her remember about what he said about her. Wonder in what mood he was.
"Vegeta, can I talk to you?"
"No"
Bad. Well it was not her business.
But what to talk to him, ask him directly was not an option, after all this years living with him, she knew at least that most about him. Now what? How she was going to talk to him? She wanted to tell him that she was going to be there for him. That he could count on her. The best way was to take another way. He would know what she was doing but she knew that he was going to play with along with her.
"Vegeta, what do you think about Trunks and Goten, heu, relationship?"
"What do I care about what the brat is doing and with whom? As long as he stays away from my room I'm okay"
"Vegeta you are not serious!" She was glaring at him, but is gaze was still fixed on Bura. "You are not concerned that they are both boy"
This time he looked at her his face totally blank "Why should it bothering me because they both boy?"
Okayyyyy.
"Forget about the Boys thing, that don't bother you that he chosen Goten. I mean he is the son of 'Kakarotte'" she didn't want to make him bad, but his reaction bother her. She was preparing herself to bodily force him to accept they relation. She sure didn't make those preparations for nothing!
"I know, thank kami! I don't know what he would do if he chosen a meek human." He looked thoughtful at her. "And I think that it a good thing he chose his brat. Kakarotte is strong"
Okay that was strange, what the hell was the link between Goku and Goten love affair anyway. And the way he say his name…
Sighting, she leaning against the wall, he face pressed against the window. Bura was still outside, mutilating her doll.
"You know Vegeta, sometime I think you care more about Goku them me."
"His stronger then you that all" This conversation was getting freakier by the second. That was not the way the conversation was suppose to be going.
"Vegeta, what the hell doest power have to do with anything anyway, you don't make any sense at all. " Closing her eyes, she put her hand on the window. "I don't understand what you mean"
"What there to understand? I want power"
"Get stronger."
She could sense him narrowing her eye. He didn't know if she was making fun of him. For once she wasn't, she was curious. He probably decided that she was curious because he decided to answers truthfully. And what he told her was more then he said since she first saw him when he came to earth to destroy everyone. What he said next make her stop and for once she looked at him. Really, look at him.
"I tried to get stronger since I was born. That has been my only goal, my only dream, my only focus for as long as I can remember. And the bastard succeeds because he too dumb to do something else with his life, because he had nothing better to do. I don't care for him, but I need to keep an eye for him. Turning your back on someone who his stronger and asking to be hurt. That a lesson I learned the hard way." The last part was whispered but he didn't lower the bitterness the rage that carried the other part of his speech. He was not his usual speech of 'I am stronger; you are worthless' etc.
That was she didn't jump up and arguing as she would have not normally but waited in silence and tried top understand what he was saying.
"I need the power, the strength. It is part of me, of my need, of my soul. I can go without love, without friendship, without family, without my people. Even without live, but I will not be able to leave without strength and the baka is the strongest person I know and he don't even know how to use his power."
At that, she couldn't stay silent. "Vegeta, power is not everything…" she trailed he was not listening to her. She knew it. Whatever she was going to tell him would have been lost on him. For a few minutes, they stayed in silent watching Bra play with her imputed doll. When she saw them look at her, she turned toward them and waved. Bulma waved back but he didn't react. He was still lost in his though. Nothing except a fight could rouse him up.
That was she was a little bit surprise when he started talking back. She makes sure to pay attention, because she knew it would be the last time he will mentioned it again.
"I was four years old." It was difficult to imagine him at this age. She wondered what kind of baby he was? "I was really small for my age and I didn't have the title of prince as of yet. " Casting a look in her way he added as way of explaining, "In the saiyin race, you were not born prince. You have to earn the title. Having the blood his not enough. You have to give the power, the intelligence, the attitude to go with it, and other thing that come and go" She nodded to tell him she understood. It was the most she ever learns about Vegeta people and later she will ponder on that but right now all the attention was directed as him.
"When I was four I was bullied by some warriors, can you believe it?" She couldn't. "They were more then twice my size, more then twice my age, and much more then twice my power. One day it got so bad that I went to my father and told him about the abuse."
When she saw he was not going to continues she asked the obvious question.
"What did he say?"
"He beat the hell out of me until I became stronger then them. The next days I killed all of them."
And she did not received the obvious answers. "That it cruel!"
"You think so?" he looked her with a genuine look. He was honest, he didn't know why she tough it was cruel. Before saying anything, she ponders what he told her.
"This is why you have been treating Trunks and everybody else that way?" she keep her voice neutral.
"The brats and the baka, yes, the other I just hate them."
She tried to understand but she couldn't. She just couldn't what was he trying to tell her. And it was not the same with the other. And if was the reason he was treating Trunks!
"You are saiyin and prince to booth but his just a little boy, I mean you never tell Trunks or Bura that you love them, your father surely told you he loved you at least once time."
"Never"
"Never, well what did he said to you"
"Nothing" She was exasperated.
"Vegeta common he must have talk to you about something."
"Yes he talks but only to tell me what to be expected from me, and nothing of the talk you are dying for me to do with the brats"
"So tell me our do you know your father love you"
"…"
"Vegeta"
"I don't know if he love you" that was said in the lower voice.
She was beginning to hate her father-in-law. It was sad but she was glad the bastard was dead in the arm of Freeza.
"Don't you think it would have been better if you know your father loved you when you were sent to Freeza?"
This time his voice was cold as if what she asked was a personal insult. "My father taught me three things: I am the strongest been in the universe, I am the prince of all saiyins, and that they could take anything from me expect my pride."
She frowned. "It would have been easier if he told you that he love me"
Turning sharply toward her, he pinned her with his glare. "Easier? Easier! Tell me would it have helped me when he destroyed my entire family! Would it have made it easier when he sends me to the regenerator chamber for a month! Would it have been easier when he makes me destroyed and entire race made of weakling woman and children!"
She took a step back from the vehemence of his argument "Vegeta…"
"Love!" he said the word with such disgust she winced. "Love, when we go down to it, is useless, I have tolerated it for you sake and the other, but as for me, when all else fell, I will rely on what my father told me. I don't know if he never love me, but do you know what? I knew he was proud of me. And he taught me what was the most important to him, to me, to my race."
Looking at Bra, his voice turned into a whisper. "At the end that what I want my children to know, to know that I love them, or care about them would not help them at the end. However, I want them to understand that when they will be alone and everybody will betray them, that they know who the fuck they are. I warrior race, son of the strongest been in the universe, child of prince and heir to the house of Vegeta. "
"But it not enough!"
"It enough to survive anything!"
"But not to live!" Kami, how to make him see! That what I want to make you understand. What he need you to teach him it not how to survive one day at a time, one freaking hour at a time! What he need you to tell him his how to live is life to become someone when he grow up." She toke several step back when he turned toward her, he eye narrowed. Did he understand?
"You have been talking with the boy!"
What the-
"Trunks?"
"Who else?"
"Vegeta, you are loosing it! Did you understand what I was saying to you!"
"hn"
Kami! Well she was not going to give up. If that way didn't work she was going to corner him on another subject. She was going to make him see the truth even of it kill him!
"Well anyway I wanted to talk to you about him. Now I want the truth. What do you think about both Trunks. "
"They-"
"I. Want. The. Truth!"
"They are stupid."
"Vege~ta!"
"They. Are. Stupid."
He was not going to prevent her from seeking the truth dammit! This time, she went to him; toke his right arm between her hand and make him looked at her. She wanted to see her eye.
Kami he had beautiful eye, but anyway. "Vegeta just look at Bra, for her sake, if not for mine for her sake answers me. The relation you have with Bra is, well, it okay I guess for a few year still, but soon enough the error you made with Trunks will catch up to you. As for Mirai Trunks you trait him like, like, well I don't know but it sure not like your son. Why is that anyway? Why are you hurting Mirai Trunks that way?"
"Mirai. What a stupid name anyway."
"He didn't like it either"
"Why"
"He didn't say. Vegeta answers me, why"
"His mad!"
"VEGETA!"
"Dammit don't yell like that! You wanted the truth I give it to you. The boy his insane, his losing it. He has lost the grip on reality. The boy his going to explode in any moment. Well that it his status, but it seem that Kakarotte brat has some influence on him. Maybe he will be able to stop the progression. Who give a damn if he screws him senseless, as long as his calming down, I really don't care" Then he smirked to her "But frankly I really doubt it, With the damn tree stuck in his ass, there is not way there place for anything else."
They was two choice. She could take the bait and start bitching at him for the comment, or deal with what he said about Mirai. She glared at him, and seeing his smirk, she decided not to take the bait.
"What do you mean his losing it?" She would have laughing out loud seeing his expression if it was not important.
"What part of insane don't you get anyway!"
"But how can you tell. You seem pretty sure of yourself"
"Simple, I recognize the sign on someone else, but this time it going nearly to late"
Now don't panic. She knew Goku for a long time, she sure they was a way she will be able to help him.
"And it me" and-
"What? You"
"Afraid?"
Was he kidding? Yet again, he was looking at the window. Bra was standing up looking at the sky a cell phone with her. The others were probably coming soon. The implication of what he just said then hit her full in the face.
"And what does it mean for you"
"What do you mean?"
"Who will be there to catch you" for a few minutes he looked at her with confusion. Then to her utmost surprise, he blushed.
Vegeta blushed.
Without another word, he runs out of the house.

Frowning, she saw Vegeta storm out of the room. Normally she would have yelled at him to stay right where he was but she understood that he needed to think about some thing. What he told her and what he just implied. Did she really knew the man who have giving her two children and that she had loved ever since the first time she saw him, well maybe not the very first time but very close nonetheless.
The anger and the pain. She would have wanted to know that before. Before they begin a relationship, before they even have any children for that matter. Many problems would have been avoid, anger and hurt stopped. However, that was not the true problem; the problem was that he, Vegeta, was slowly losing it. Even if he make it sound as if it was nothing she could see that it would not be like the hissy fit he was use to throw now and then, but not this time. This was serious. And the one person who would be able to help him, save him, prevent him from hurting himself was the man he hated the most, the man who was totally clueless about what was going on.
Or was it? Frowning, she watching him standing, looking for all the world like a bored prince looking at is kingdom. Goku seemed to know some stuff. It was evident he was not as dumb as he looked. She knew somehow that he knew about Vegeta situation and to Say the truth he was the closer to Vegeta; after all, he was the one who was beating the hell out of him every two day.
Yes, they were pretty close. If she didn't know Goku was to damn dense for Vegeta she would have been worried and a little bit jealous. But it was not the case. Vegeta needed a mental challenge and she was the only one who could give it to him. Yes, she was the only one…since she could only give him the physical challenge he crave. Shit she just hated when she was in this kind of mood.
Jealousy and worried were such a bother to minting it was driving her mad. And beside it was all his fault for running that way.
He was infuriating. For someone who was that strong he was sure a coward when it came to deal with his emotion. Distracted she watching him by the window, he could see watching the sky. The others were probably there. Fine.
That then could sat and begin a battle plan, meaning she was going to sit hearing the most idiotic excuse for a battle plan ever from the other, while Vegeta was thinking of a plan. When he will have enough, he will yell at Trunk who will come to Vegeta and in five minutes, they will come up with something. Then they will past the remaining time watching as Vegeta make fun at Goku. And all that for nothing as Vegeta temper, Goku innocence, Trunks and Goten prank, Piccolo indifference, Gohan anger and the other courage will blow the plan away. Until, in the last minute they will are going to salvage it. Yes, it was always the same.
Seeing in the corner of her eye a form moving, she turns around, behind stood Piccolo. Smiling at her.
She looked at him and he look at her.
Strange, she always trough that he was taller…She really didn't know what to do. What was she going to say? How are you? Who are you? Do you have a penny? The chance that he was actually going to answers were kind of slime.
She was about to ask something, anything frankly when she heard a tearing cry. Looking out the window, she saw Vegeta holding they daughter against him, next to him Goku was looking angry and determined. What the hell was wrong with him anyways?
"They want to stop me from killing you" the voice held no life what so ever. Well at least she knew what was running on his mind, but the poor alien didn't know who he was dealing with that was for sure.
Turning around so she could start yelling at him, she saw nothing, nothing except a thick ball of blackness.
Well now she was going to have some problem…but thank Kami once again the choice was taken from her hand when the ball expend itself until it surround the entire place. The only thing not covered was the window; the window where she could see her family and friend yelling about something. Thank kami she couldn't heard anything, all they yelling would have hurt her hear that was for sure.
She could see the other from the window. It was as if she was looking at a film that she knew the author.
She could see Vegeta holding Bura in her arm. She was glad that she was going to be all right. He was holding her close to his heart but his eyes were fixed on her. She was not sad that he decided to protect her instead of coming to save her. She understands but that not meant she was all right with it. His face was cold and held no emotion what so ever. However, she understands. You can see many things against her, but she was a genius and a very good emotion reader. It was only with they were acting stupidly that she couldn't follow them.
She could see Bura face afraid. She was scared and tear were running down her face. But she was not struggling to get out of her father arm, she understood that it would have been dangerous. So like her father. She was her father little princess.
She could see Goku who just landed. He looked so scared, poor thing. He was so strong but so naïf…
Then she could see Gohan holding Mirai-Trunks. The scared and guilty looks on his face almost make her die right on the spot. Just for this look, she would have preferred to die alone to prevent him from seeing her like this. Even then, she could see the determination to not let go.
As for Mirai-Trunks, he was power up. She saw as Goku and Gohan went to hold him but he was like mad. His pupil had disappears, energy was crackling around him; he had his hand in a fist so tight she could see blood sipping from it. But it expression, it was empty. Did seeing in her last moment make him mad; bring him up over the edge? She could hear nothing but this high wailing as if the earth itself was crying, but it was Mirai-Trunks. It broke her heart to see him like that. She could feel the despairs in her bone. But frankly they was no need to react like that. Or was it her that was not reacting properly? Na.
But someone was missing.
Then see saw the blue eye she was looking for. Trunks was looking at her, strait into her eye. His gazed were not wavering, not blinking. He was not crying, not yelling, not weeping. He was looking at her as if he wanted to keep in image in his head. She smiled: she looked at him to. She wanted to keep this image of him too. His hair was ruffle from the wind Mirai-Trunks was creating. With his training gear, he looked like the little boy she raised almost alone. The little boy who looked at her with curiosity and asked her if his papa was a king, if that means she was a queen, The little boy who brought some poison ivy on st-valentine so she could be his valentine the many time Vegeta forgot about the holiday. The little boy who brought her breakfast in bed by dumping the bowl of cereal and the hot pancake on her lap and who make home made syrup with left over oil.
Her little boy. She was starting to frown when she was thinking about the fact that he was going to be alone but see saw Goten held him strong.
He was going to be all right
She looked one last time around to see everyone, and then looked again at her first child. She saw him do something they did since his last nightmare. She saw him put his finger to his nose, then on his chest near his heart then at her.
I love you.
I love you too Trunks.
The last thing she saw was a single tear felt down his cheek.
Then Bulma Brief, President of CC, mother of Bra and Trunks brief, wife of Vegeta died.
She rejoined the next dimension and throughout history she would be no as
Bulma,
the last saiyin queen.
