Tears of a Prince
Disclaimer: I do not own dbz it belongs to the brilliant mind of Akira Toriyama and funimation
This is my third or forth story, this is the most dramatic I have ever gone. It was distancing me from my earlier action fics but I think every author needs to do that. This is a very somewhat sad story, much death in story gets gloomy, but that's is the point to see how the characters develop and alter due to the events. So without any further interruptions I give you Tears of a Prince.
~~The Funeral has passed, all grieve and soon the events are shown to us. Bulma has died, but how, and why? What other effects will emerge from this tragedy? Now I give you the new chapter. ~Vegeta now battles in his head with his old self, as Trunks now becomes ill
~~Check out the last part of the Shavocaian Saga, 'Hell has Returned'
All is ill in the family, with a death, and major grieving, that is not the most affective thing. The effects go from physical to mental for some and soon old lives come into play in the present. Many will suffer, and some will die, as the Briefs family is put on the edge at all turns. What is to come of the family?
Breakdown-Part I
As the night turned into the morning all was grim, again. Bra began to stretch as she awoke from a night's sleep that would seem wonderful, if not for the reminder of her brother's condition.
She rose onto her feet and let out a yawn. Soon she began to wander the halls of the hospital. She did not quite remember which room her brother was in, to her last night was somewhat of a blur.
It was like a dream, or a surreal nightmare. To Bra, it was an odd dream, a dream until she came upon the room that read, Patient Name: Trunks Briefs:
Condition: unconscious.
Possible Disease: Type A Heart Tumor.
"Oh god, I no, its real, isn't it. Oh god no Trunks." Bra then entered the room, which confined her brother to the treatment that he so needed.
"Trunks what do they have you hooked on?" Bra soon looked at her brother, his nose was invaded with tubes, and his arms with needles.
She then looked at his face, his cold and pale face. It seemed as if someone had drained the very life from him.
As she continued to exam his condition it soon brought her to tears. Never had she seen he dearest brother in such a deadly condition. And as she looked at Trunks' face, flashes of Bulma entered her mind.
Visions of the wake, of her mother's dead face in the coffin, and little by little she began to see her brother's face there, in a coffin. She could hear the chanting of church songs, and other heavenly noises.
She could see her father again tore to shreds, and condolences from others. She could already see the funeral ahead, and this tore her apart.
As she continued to weep for her brother, he began to make some movements.
"Trunks? Trunks can you hear me?" As the machines around him began to become active they soon sent some sort of signals and soon doctors entered the room.
"Excuse me miss you're going to have to wait outside, we need to treat our patient." The doctors escorted Bra out the door and closed it behind her. She could only hope that they were performing some form of miracle and make this all better.
As the day progressed she soon realized that the phones were back, and she could finally contact someone. But the question was who to contact.
Not her father that would only rage him further. Last time she laid eyes on him he had gone quite insane. So she soon thought up of the other numbers.
She called Gohan and Videl; there was no answer at their house. And soon she began to recall Goku's number. It was quite vague to her but she soon recalled all the numbers.
She soon gathered up some courage and began to dial the number, to deliver the news of Trunks.
"Chi-Chi? Is that you?" Bra took in a deep breath.
"Bra? Hey how are you doing? Are you okay, is there anything we can do for you?" Bra then continued to talk.
"Well Chi-Chi, is Goku there?" Chi-Chi paused to look around for her husband.
"Goku! Its Bra, she's on the phone! She says she needs to talk to you." Goku then took the phone.
"Hello, Bra?"
"Goku, oh my god, thank god I got a hold of you."
"Why what's wrong Bra, what happened?"
"Oh my god, I tried to call everyone else, Gohan wasn't there, and Yamcha isn't picking up the phone. And Tien has disappeared too."
"Wait calm down, why are you calling?" Goku then sat down and began to feel that something was wrong.
"Its, its Trunks, he." Bra couldn't even finish the sentence, but Goku could already see what it was.
"He had an accident, and he's in the hospital, and the doctors." Goku then put his hand on his face and began to sweat. He soon heard the extent of the horror.
"And the doctors say he had the same thing mom had."
"Bra, did they get it under control?"
"The doctor said it couldn't be controlled. It's a tumor, and they say it isn't done growing."
"Bra, is he going to be okay? What did they say?" Goku became a bit hysterical.
"They say he only has several weeks to live and there is nothing we can do."
Goku then felt a hammer to his heart; Trunks and the others were practically his own family.
"So how is Vegeta taking it?" Bra took a deep breath as the name of her father was mentioned.
"Um, I haven't told Dad yet." Bra shook her head and the put it back to the receiver.
"Why? He didn't come with you guys?" Goku got up from his chair and began to gather some form of hatred towards Vegeta.
"I don't know, he was acting strange, he showed no emotion towards, us."
"That doesn't sound like the Vegeta of today."
"I know, and the worst thing was he, he hit me." Goku clinched the receiver and soon held back his anger not to break the phone.
"Where is he now?" Goku had as voice of vengeance in his voice. But soon Bra had words to calm him down.
"Goku, you don't have to. I think he should be better by now. I was kind of scared to call him. Trunks is his only son, and after mom and everything I doubt that he will do anything now."
Goku soon calmed down and soon sat back at the table to continue his conversation.
"I think maybe I should call him. I think you should have some time to sit and absorb what has happened."
"Okay, thank you Goku, but who's going to call my dad?"
"I'll call him for you; I think it would be best."
"Okay, you really are a good friend."
"Anytime Bra, we'll always be here for you if you need us."
"Okay, hey do you know where I can contact Gohan, and Videl?"
"Oh, I really don't know if we have a number, they went with Goten and Pan."
"Okay call me on my cell when they come back."
"I'll be sure to do that."
"Bye Goku." Bra hung up the phone and then sat down and let out a much deserved sigh. He soon saw that the doctors were leaving Trunks room. The doctor the approached her with some news.
"Miss you can see your brother, he's conscious now, but he may not exactly be one hundred percent 'there'."
"Okay, I understand." Bra soon gathered up some courage and soon approached her brother's room. The machines were keeping a steady beep, as the ivies were still stuck on his arms. He made movements and soon opened his eyes.
"Hey sis, how you doing?"
"Oh can't complain, how are you doing, apart from the ivies and tubes and fainting?" Trunks then closed his eyes took a deep breath and sat up to face his sister.
"Well, I don't feel so bad, but they told me what's wrong."
"They did but they weren't supposed to!" Bra got a little pissed off at the doctors for telling him he was going to die.
"So you know?"
"About me dying? Yeah they told me, I was kind of pissed off myself, but I guess that's how life is, it sucks. Or maybe it's just sucks for us." That got a chuckle from Bra, which was good to see.
"Hey I haven't seen that smile in a while; you should do it more often." Bra soon heard some foots steps approaching the room. As the noise got closer it turned out to be Vegeta.
"Where is he? Where is my son?" Trunks' face got a bit angry when he heard his father's voice. He still remembered what his father did earlier to his sister. The noise of the slap was still in his head, and under the blankets his fists were clinched.
"Goddamn it Trunks, what's wrong with him Bra?"
"The doctor, he said that he had a heart tumor, just like mom."
"So he's going to die?"
"Yeah dad, I guess I am going to die." Trunks said it out loud and with out emotion. Vegeta pulled up a chair and soon Trunks fell asleep.
Soon Vegeta, came to grips as soon approached his daughter.
"Hey I know I was acting crazy, I really don't remember. Something is happening to me and I don't know exactly what it is. But what ever it is I know that I need your help. If Trunks is to die, we will be the only ones left. And being alone we have to make sure not to let one another down. Can you forgive me for what I did?"
"I guess I have to forgive you, since you're all I have left." Bra now looked at her father, not with the love she once had but with a look of disgust.
And soon the room was silent, the machines beeped and the family was torn apart. Soon Goku and Chi-Chi arrived who too gave their sympathies, hopefully for the last time.
