Episode 5 - A Fork in the Road of Life
"Stop it with the freaking little hints. What's the real deal here?" Lee demanded to know. "With the unique blood I have, plus how little of it I have right now, which made it a miracle that I could even wake from it, plus not having any other methods we could use for me to recover, well... that would equal..... that I would have a less than a week to live," he said angrily in a sad tone, "It's not the fact I fear of death, but inside I feel something bad will happen. I'm outraged by the fact that when my friends and family need me most, I' am found and there's nothing I can do but watch the horrors. I can't allow myself rendered useless, but when I'm dead, I' am nothing but a memory..., a memory that ended in a way of shame." "Stop talking like that. You'll make it. You said your father survived the explosion of that Planet he came from, right? You carry his blood and hold his survival instincts, you will make it through this," he relied, "And I'll make sure I'm the first one to beat you down into reality." Trunks cracked a smile on his face and said "I try my best to live..., and show this Saiyan's power isn't to be messed with." "You won't try, you will make it period." Lee replied with no doubt in his voice at all.
Meanwhile Bulma and Chi Chi slept in a hotel, 2-3 blocks away from the hospital. Their home location (which was now in the forest) was too far away to consider sleeping there, so they decided to sleep in a nearby hotel instead. The hotel wasn't very fancy or cheap, it was just average. They both decided to sleep in different rooms, after Bulma said she would take care of all expenses used in the hotel. Chi Chi had doubts with her best friend sleeping in her own room, in this kind of situation, but she agreed to give Bulma more time to think and to take advantage of this offer.
The next morning, Bulma woke up at around 5 a.m. She decided that she couldn't sleep that well, with Trunks next to her in his current condition. She left her room and went downstairs. She paid for all the expenses with her credit card and left. She decided that she should let her friend sleep more, so she didn't wake her up as she left the hotel. As she walked out, a man that is dressed like a doctor encountered her. "Um, ma'am?" the man asked. "Oh, hi," Bulma replied as she turned around facing towards him. "I heard a loved one of yours is in a need of major medical attention. Is it true?" asked the stranger. "Yes, but it isn't one where medicine could help, so I don't think whatever you got to offer will help him," she stated as she began to walk away.
His name is Trunks Briefs. He is a half breed human with partial Saiyan blood. He is son to the great Prince Vegeta and Bulma Briefs. He has the ability to transform into what they call a Super Saiyan and can even ascend to a transformation even beyond that. He currently encountered a mechanic enemy, which was later destroyed. But in the process of doing so, he internally and externally got damaged. He founds himself with the results of loss of unrecoverable blood, plus many fractured ribs, but his Saiyan trait can slowly recover his bones. Am I correct, Mrs. Bulma Briefs?" he stated loudly. Bulma stopped dead on her tracks and asked in a worried tone "How.... How do you know so much about him?" "I'm going to level with you, turn around," he said.
Bulma slowly turned around. She saw what used to be a white man with short blonde hair and glasses morphed into a six feet man with grayish skin, dull eyes, and a little hair on top of his head. "Oh my God," she replied surprisingly but then she took a good look at him. "You look familiar," she said. "A previous agent by the name of Kan was sent here to protect and retrieve King Trunks to his true home, Planet Krong. Surprisingly, he failed and I apologize on the behalf of all Krongians, that I couldn't arrive earlier to patch up Kan's mistakes," the alien said. "Oh Kan, I remember him. I buried him in the backyard near my home, do you want to go visit his grave and say fare-well?" asked Bulma. "That doesn't matter...... I mean it is irrelevant to my mission. I' am willing to heal your son, but you must promise me a favor. After his complete recovery, which will take a couple of days, you must assure me that Trunks will leave this place forever and accept his duties as King on our planet permanently."
"When you say 'leave this place,' are you referring to Earth?" Bulma asked sadly. "Affirmative," he said heartlessly. "Why does Trunks, my son, have to be a king to your planet anyways?" she yelled in sad rage. "Krong be was revolutionized 50 years ago in honor to be the second Planet Vegeta. They were our allies, as ruthless they were, and we realized we need a Saiyan under our wing for us to survive and fight any longer. Well, our leader at the time decided that anyways. Now the final question should be, would you rather want your son to die early, rather than live a more meaningful life and accept his destiny?" he asked. "Fine..., but my word isn't enough. You have to ask him yourself," she replied sadly as she led him to the hospital.
When they got there, Trunks was awake staring at the ceiling. "Mom, it's pretty early, what are you doing here?" he asked weakly, as he stopped his conversation with Lee. The Krongian stepped forward and told his story, basically the same thing he told Bulma. "So what will you do?"
