The last Saiyan- Chapter eight, Drained of hope
"No, you didn't..." A swelling force of emotions washed through Trunks, his eyes still fixed on his future-self, his head ached Does this mean I'm going to kill him? I'm going to kill my own father? "You didn't kill your own father."
Future Trunks still looked away, his eyes wondered and his breath quickened as he prepared for take off, he was ashamed of what he'd done, he wanted to kill himself. A flash of gold was sighted as he locked his eyes and unstrained his body, he levitated and the swell of emotion brought him Super Saiyan, electric bolts lashed around him. He tucked into the flying position, but hesitated.
"Running away from your past cannot help you." Piccolo's voice was concealed in the mist, a blurred shadow made it's was into the two Trunks's view, Piccolo appeared, his eyes stared straight, not at either Trunks. "You were compelled, Trunks, you had no choice."
Trunks tensed again, his face showed fury, he swiftly spun in mid air to face Piccolo, his voice full of hatred. "I should've died, I should've DIED!!!"
Trunks stared intensely at the two with discomfort, his troubled mind felt the urge to stand, so he thrust himself with all his energy. "All I want to know... Is why?"
Future Trunks bought himself down, but his breath did not slow, his fists still clenched. "The creature, it petrified me..." He stopped, the pain was too hard to bare, "just then, you were about to... But Goten saved you. "
Trunks just stared blankly, why? He asked himself again, why would Ido this? He glared from piccolo to himself, finally he spoke, breaking the heart wrenching silence, "I demand to know... What happened. " He inquired.
Future Trunks sighed, he distinguished how his past self felt, he finally let out the story that had been welling up within him. Piccolo closed his eyes and expectantly waited for the long-awaited truth.
Future Trunks took a deep breath and focused his sprit. "I was on my way to work, when it came for me..."
Future Trunks's flashback
Trunks felt a tremendous power, none that he has felt before... Or has he? Trunks felt it/he/she was traveling in his direction at an speed unimaginable. He kept calm, a much milder form than what was he was truly encountering. What ever it was... It was lunging at him, it was coming...
A shadow dropped on Trunks, the creature had arrived, a glint of an awkward feeling also fell on him... He sensed that he recognized this creature, it was so familiar... He did not look up, who was this?
You will soon find out...
Without any hint of warning, a sharp, immense pain shot through Trunks's heart, it began to spread, consuming his energy. The wrenching pain that accumulated in him was unbearable. He clenched to where the pain dwelled but he suffering continued...
And then,
It stopped...
His vision darkened for a split moment, the icy wind whistled in his ear as he fell...
All the pain that surrounded him vanished as he was swallowed into a endless black pit, he tried to scream but couldn't... He felt his energy dashing through his veins, it was rising, rising beyond his control...
A force bounded him, pushing him to the limit.
Trunks struggled, something was absorbing him, grasping at his past, there was no pain, but soon, he was emotionless, the darkness had consumed him, he was just an empty vessel, a soulless vessel... He had lost battle...
What are you doing to me? Trunks cried in his own soulless mind, unable to make a move.
I have command over you... Came a rough answer, it was not heard but Trunks just knew it was the creature, the one who controlled him.
What are you planning to do?! Trunks wrestled, but nothing came to him, the creature didn't reply, but once again invaded Trunks's mind, he could feel the creature attacking his thoughts, his memories... Until, a slight whisper was all Trunks heard.
There's my target...
Trunks snapped his eyes open, only it wasn't his, he had no control over his actions... His body lifted and took flight, Trunks was abandoned to the corners of his mind, unable to control himself, he struggled once again, but only felt hope fade away, his soul was sucked away, but one emotion still contained, love...
Trunks could still see all that was passing, he was in the air, sending blasts to homes, buildings, innocent people below, there was no escape, the terror scattered like a plague, taking over all in its path with explosions landing on cities, towns. Screams from innocent people reached his ears, so much suffering, all caused by him.
Trunks witnessed the destruction that the creature caused all around him, all the forest was burned, cities nothing but ruble. He sensed no life, only the slightest life force remained.
It was then that Trunks rebelled, he struggled with the last reserves of his sanity, he screamed his last scream, he realized then that nothing he did would save him, the creature was over taking his every move, it was him.
His body moved at an incredible speed, he finally landed at a familiar home, the creature reached his target, he gathered energy quickly, his arm out stretched in front of him and his palm raised...
No... Trunks cried silently. Not them...
He fired the blast, it caught it's target, the white half-globe exploded with the impact... A woman's scream echoed in Trunks's head, it was Chi Chi's...
Voices wavered in the air, Trunks recognized them, but he couldn't help them...
"Videl! NO!!!!!!!!"
"Mother! I'm here!"
No... Trunks numbly sobbed... No, I killed them, I killed...
He felt his vision direct towards his friends, but his head remained downcast, his eyes wondered upwards in an evil glare, meeting his enemy. They stood strong.
Gohan, Goten! Trunks wanted to cry... Run!
Gohan burned with hatred, and glared at Trunks, he held two people in his arms, and walked out of the wreck. Goten's clothes were torn from the flames, with a scream full of hatred, Goten stormed at him, Gohan close behind.
The creature finally revealed himself, the creature raised its head and formed a powerful ki, Trunks felt the raising power, he fought to suppress it. The beam was enough to destroy them both...
Goten continued to charge forward, but he slowed as he observed Trunks's face, his eyes watched him. "No, it can't be..." The hatred turned to confusion.
Now they see they're killer... The creature's voice rang in his mind, as he unleashed his powerful blast effortlessly.
Goten said no more, for at that moment, the creature's blast caught him, the blinding light left a trail of burn and a pile of ash circled where Gohan and Goten once were, a gust of wind blew by, and carried the dust in its direction, putting Goten and Gohan to the end of their life.
Now they don't...
Trunks felt cold, he killed them, he killed Goten and Gohan, he ended the lives of the son family. He remained at the edge of his mind, alone... He let it all loose, and he just cried...
END FLASHBACK
"I killed them..." Future Trunks still deeply focused. "And then I went for Vegeta, I couldn't remember anything after that..."
Future Trunks's flashback
Trunks twitched, his whole body ignited and blazed with his hatred... His eyes still closed, he woke up suddenly and heaved himself up despite all the pain washing over him. He swiftly climbed to his feet and observed his surroundings.
Just as he feared, all cities were burned, there was no sign of life anywhere. He watched as broken glass showered upon bulks of concrete, and flames consumed what was left... Fire raged on around him, he clenched his heart and ran the vision through his mind once more.
There was no mistake, he had destroyed them, he killed all of them. As the emotions made its way into his mind, he noted a familiar object, it was covered partly with dirt and torn around the edges. But as he observed closer, few words made into his sight, it faded on some parts but Trunks could still make it out. It read:
Vegeta's wallet
END FLASHBACK
"I couldn't remember much, but it was Vegeta's, it was the same wallet that my mother gave him," Future Trunks watched his friends with soft eyes. "Then I realized, while the creature controlled me, it decided to kill Vegeta..."
Piccolo stepped forward and placed a hand on Future Trunks's shoulder. "It was not your doing."
"I had control," Trunks whispered, so only he could hear, but Piccolo's ears don't miss much. Trunks said in a louder tone, his voice quivered. "I had a chance, I could've killed myself with a blast when I gained control. But instead, I hesitated..."
Trunks picked himself up and made his way to Future Trunks, his eyes glared into his twin. "Fate is not yours to control, it was not your fault..." Trunks then faked a comforting smile, a rounded painful twitch of his lips. Future Trunks returned the smile.
Piccolo's stern face grew impatient, he was getting whelmed up in the reunion. He faced the two, eyeing them each. "We have to out smart the creature, we clearly know that he is not strong enough on his own, he is a parasite, needing a host..."
Both Trunks listened with all eyes on Piccolo, who continued his theory. "I'm suggesting we find out where he's heading next and take him by surprise..."
Like an answer to their query, Future Trunks and Piccolo were met with a familiar sense, one that gave Future Trunks the many horrors in his memory. Future Trunks once again unmasked the hatred he restrained.
"What's the matter?" Trunks asked, surveying the two suspiciously, who hoisted their heads and observed the sky.
"He's begun the attack..." Came the answer.
Shasti: AHHHHH! I'll have to end it there, I feel a bit silly writing this, it's so... Emotional? Another chapter piled with flashbacks... Like I said, flashbacks are VERY important. So please don't skip them out... Did you guys actually get the story?
Please review! I know, I'm updating slow and the story is still progressing VERY slowly, if you guys have any suggestions, any, that would be great.
Trunks is going to meet someone soon, very mysterious... Ohhhh, so just keep reviewing! The more reviews, the faster I'll update! (hint hint) (nudge nudge)
