Don't own anything DBZ related and so here it goes. part 7
Part 7
Trunks sat silent in his room as clouds began to cover the once blue sky. Terra was wrong, she had to be... every answer he found in life was logical, if one was hurt then revenge is the only alternative. This was the one truth in which he lived by.
"Terra's words were wrong, debts must always be paid back, shouldn't they? Isn't that the only way to survive, had she not been so lucky she would have been killed. Luck isn't something one can count on constantly..." Trunks argued with himself as thunder and lightening sparked and crackled through the sky.
For several hours the young man sat in the darkness of his room, occasionally, glancing at the door as if anticipating the woman to interrupt his thoughts but that never happened. As the sky began to fade into darkness the storm only increased in intensity. The rain drops seemed to collide with the earth and buildings with a fury. Trunks, with one last glance at the door walked to his window and lept out.
Terra had decided that bothering Trunks would only drive him even further away. She knew that something horrible had happened but just as she had, he kept it inside.
Terra's shift that night had ended and so she began her journey to a friend's home in hopes of forgetting the sorrow she presently felt. Though the trip was quite long, she decided that walking through the storm only fitted her situation and her mood.
Before, Terra could continue her trip any further she was greeted by a friendly voice.
"Uh... aren't you kinda cold?" A man inquired as he came up behind her with an umbrella in one arm and flowers in the other.
"Who are you?" The man only smiled at the question and shook his head.
"Sorry, my name's Gohan." As he came closer the young woman turned around hoping he wouldn't see her tear stained face. Gohan watched the woman's figure and instantly knew she was upset. Taking one flower from the rest, he handed it to her and laughed.
"Where you headed?" Gohan asked as he and Terra began to walk together.
Trunks walked down the street slowly. His mind was confused. He wanted his answers to be right, they had to be.
As the rain poured down, Trunks slowly began to regain control over his emotions. Terra was wrong, he was right it was that simple. She was hurt constantly while he wasn't that is what justifies his side and not hers.
Suddenly Kuro appeared. Trunks took notice of him and stopped in his tracks.
"I thought that woman belonged to you... but it seems that not only does Gohan leave you alone to fight those beasts but he takes that woman away from you as well." Kuro spoke but Trunks shook his head slowly.
"I don't care." He answered in his familiar stoic tone. The emotions she had awakened in him were once again put to silence. He had to stay in control for he was the perfect killer, he was the Ultimate Weapon.
Kuro sighed and nodded.
"Very well then. But don't you think that fool should pay?" Kuro asked as Trunks turned to him.
"So you're finally going to let me attack, its been long enough." Trunks spoke as he disappeared.
"So I wonder how this will turn out. I just hope that my Saishuuheiki will Gohan cleanly, I'd hate having to look at such a mess." Kuro smiled as he, himself, drifted into the shadows.
Gohan and Terra continued on through the rain until they were stopped by several men.
"So what's two love birds like you doin' out here at a time and in dis kinda weather?" One of the men asked as the ten men surrounded Gohan nad Terra.
Terra's fear casued her to clinge to Gohan's arm while he stood firm.
"I think you guys should keep moving." Gohan said in a stern voice, but the men only laughed.
"I think you should shut up... and while ya at it, give up da money!" another yelled as they began to circle the two. Gohan only shook his head and sighed.
"What is your problem? Why must you try and hurt others?" Gohan asked as the men smiled.
"Fine, we won't hurt ya girlie friend but you on the other hand, we're tired of ya lip!" The man pressumed as the leader yelled as the other nine attacked.
Before any of their blows could hit, Gohan moved himself and Terra out of the circle of crazed men. The ten attackers all turned and with an evil glow in their eyes advanced once again upon the two.
"Hateshi Kireme." A voice spoke as a sharp sound cut through the air.
Instantly, the ten men all fell, their bodies sliced in half. Gohan and Terra turned and saw a hooded man catch and slowly, sheath his sword. The man then turned and began toward the two.
"Why did you kill them!?" Gohan yelled furiously as the man stopped.
"Terra, I've come to another conclusion...." The voice spoke as Terra's mind froze along with her body.
Trunks, removed his hood and allowed the rain to fall upon his face. Gohan, nearly gasped as Terra, herself, tried to regain control of her body.
"Trunks?!" Gohan spat out disgusted and in disbelief. As Gohan continued to look into the face of his friend he suddenly understood that this was not Trunks, standing before him... it was a monster born of darkness and void of a soul.
Trunks' gaze was true to everything Gohan believed, his eyes held no hope, joy sadness, or even life. His expression showed no anger or remorse. It was as though Gohan was staring into the eyes of 17 and 18 all over again... but this time whatever this was before him he'd stop it, before it was too late.
"You see Terra, revenge is all that matters. If you don't make right the wrongs then darkness will follow you forever." Trunks spoke as he unsheathed his sword and Gohan began to power up.
"Trunks stop!!" Terra yelled as Gohan interviened.
"Terra stay back!" Gohan instructed as he reached level three of Super-Saiyan and attacked Trunks.
Gohan's attacks were much faster than that of Goku, who in another time had been at such a level but Trunks still killed him easily.
Gohan's fury was amazing. Trunks was knocked backwards into a building and Gohan was on him in an instance. Terra couldn't see anything other than whenever Trunks collided with something, Gohan was hovering above waiting for Trunks to move. Each time Gohan would strike and Trunks would again crash into something else.
Without moving from his spot Trunks spoke.
"As I've said, revenge is all that matters. And you Gohan, will pay for all of the pain I've had to endure." Trunks disappeared and then began to power up into a Super-Saiyan. He stopped as soon as he reached the level and turned towards Gohan.
"Now I will make you suffer." With that, Trunks rammed Gohan into the ground and then disappeared again.
Terra wanted to scream but she couldn't, fear wouldn't allow her too. Instead she only watched as Gohan hit the ground and Trunks disappeared again.
"Now Gohan, die.... Tenrai Zansatsu." In almost an instance Gohan let go of an eerie howl into the night while his blood poured from his body into the streets. Terra watched in horror as Trunks sheathed the sword and walked towards her.
Strangely, Terra began to feel calm and reliefed. The fear left her body as her limbs were once again in her use. Trunks stopped several yars away and looked at Terra through the rain.
She ran to him and embraced him as tears ran down her eyes. Trunks had not expected such a reaction but said nothing.
After several moments of silence, Terra spoke.
"Are you okay?" Trunks' heart stopped, why did she care? He had just murdered eleven others and yet she only cared if he had been hurt. Once again, that strange uneasiness entered his body. Trunks shook his head and backed away.
"Trunks, don't worry, we can just hide their bodies and no one has to know..." Terra started as Trunks' mind began to break down further.
"You...this .... its not logical for you to think this way..." Trunks began but Terra stopped him with a powerful kiss.
Terra pulled away and hugged him hard.
"Not now, we have to do something about this." Terra spoke motioning to the bodies. Trunks shook out of his daze and then with a flip of his wrist the bodies exploded. Terra gasped at this and then quickly hugged Trunks once again.
"Let's go somewhere else." She whispered and Trunks nodded as he and Terra disappeared.
Instantly they were back at the hotel and in his room. Terra's expression was ghost-like, the color in her cheeks were gone, but nevertheless she smiled for Trunks. He was all she ever had and she knew that he needed her and at the same time she knew she needed him even more.
"Trunks... what happened?" Terra asked as her eyes slowly met his begging for an answer, any answer.
"You'd never understand, the way you think..."
"I want to try." Terra interrupted and Trunks nodded.
"I come from an alternate time-line. In my time, two powerful machines killed everyone I knew and cared for along with almost every human on Earth." Trunks started as Terra again went to speak.
"Do you mean 17 and 18?" Trunks looked at Terra and nodded.
"How would you know about them?" He asked and Terra explained.
"There are stories of such a hellish event. The stories spoke of how a single being came and killed the andriods. This happened before my birth, but before my mother died she told me of the stories and what it was like growing up in such a time. Also a strange thing occured about ten years ago, something about dead people coming back to life. That's about all I know of the story myself." Terra concluded as Trunks shook his head softly.
"This place was lucky, my time was destroyed, everything was in ruins, there was no hope for victory. I was the last line of defense for this planet and yet, I was nothing more than a plaything for those androids. When I was young, the female android assaulted me in the same way that man had done to you. You recollection of the story activated my memories... memories that I tried to lock away along with emotion." Trunks stopped as Terra gasped.
"Emotion? Why try and hide emotion?" Terra asked as Trunks shook his head.
"Without, emotions in the way, I could become strong... I could get my revenge upon those bastards who took everything from me...and... those who should have suffered my existance along side of me." Trunks clenched a fist but Terra urged him on.
"My other forms in alternate times... they had happiness, while I had suffering, sorrow, and pain. Why was I destined to hurt? Why not make them suffer? If Destiny, betrayed me... I would betray them."
"Trunks, I understand.... but I don't agree with you. Hurting others isn't right. What you did tonight was wrong ... but its in the past now. Its time to move on, together we can move on." Terra stood by his side and hugged his arm hard.
"You don't have to hurt anymore and neither do I. We can live together and be happy. No more sadness, no more hurt, just happiness, just the two of us." Terra whispered softly as she slowly pulled him to the bed.
"Terra, we..." Trunks started but again she silenced him with her lips.
"Trunks, please, lets just be together," Terra whispered as she pulled him into another passionate kiss.
Trunks awoke the next mourning to feel Terra softly squeezing him. She sat up with a smile and planted a soft kiss upon his forehead.
"I have to work today, but if you need me, I'll be right up." Terra smiled as she got up to get dressed. Trunks watched as Terra slipped into her clothing and fixed herself up and left.
The uneasiness he felt now was unbelievable. Trunks wondered that maybe this feeling was love, but at the same time qeustioned that assumption. He had never felt this way before, but due to his vow of revenge, hadn't a chance to. Now his emotions weren't as hidden anymore.
He closed his eyes and smiled softly. Once he re-opened his eyes, the dark blue color returned to his faded ords. With a soft smirk he got out of bed and dressed himself. But before Trunks could do any more, he ducked.
Kuro appeared after swinging for Trunks' head. Kuro smiled and then began to laugh.
"So I see you enjoyed yourself. I watched her leave the room she seemed to be quite pleased, tell me apprentice what happened?" Kuro asked but Trunks couldn't bring himself to answer this man. Trunks who had blinded himself with revenge could not see the darkness in Kuro Akuma, his teacher. Trunks looked down and shook his head. Kuro only smirked at his apprentices foolish ploy.
"I see that this woman has changed you. You're emotions are readible... though I can't tell what they are I will find out due to your responses in battle...today we have to rid ourselves of more of these fools and guess what, I'll be right by your side... I'll come and retrieve you around the afternoon, be prepared apprentice." Kuro grinned as he disappeared once again and then the door opened and Terra walked through slowly.
"What's going to happen?" Terra asked sadly as Trunks walked to her and embraced her.
"Terra, don't worry, no matter what we'll be together." Trunks smiled as Terra looked into his eyes.
"I hope so." She hugged him and he returned the gesture while looking out the window.
This is the second to last chapter meaning next chapter is the final one! Expect it to be a good one so keep the reviews coming and keep on enjoying the story.
