Break
As soon as the sun hit the window, the lavender haired prince stirred. Sitting up and stretching, Trunks spotted his girlfriend sleeping on the floor, clutching her head.
"Zara?" He asked, getting out and shaking her shoulders, Zara snapped her golden eyes open and bolted up.
"Huh? Where am I?" She cried.
"Hey, calm down your in my room. Are you alright?" He asked, frowning as he saw how pale she was. Zara nodded her head.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She lied, wincing slightly as another wave of pain shot through her head. Trunks just sighed at her.
"I know your lying Zar, you were never good at it as a kid. Why don't you go and have a lie down for a bit?" He suggested.
"You got me. Alright, maybe I could rest for a couple of hours before your mother needs me at the lab." She replied smiling. Trunks just frowned at her.
"Don't even think about going to the lab today, I'll tell my mum your not well. She'll understand. You go and rest, I'll be downstairs if you need me." He said firmly, picking up some clothes and walking out. Zara sighed as she climbed into Trunks's bed and quickly fell asleep again.
Meanwhile, down in the kitchen of Capsule Corp, Bulma was having breakfast with Bulla when Trunks eventually sauntered in.
"Morning dear, sleep well?" Bulma greeted.
"Yeah, Zara won't be at the lab today mum, she's not too well." Trunks informed her.
"Why what's wrong with her?" Bulma asked frowning.
"She keeps getting bad headaches and she looks so pale, like she's lost her energy." Trunks sighed sitting down, before his mother could comment, Vegeta came storming through the room, slamming anything that got in his way.
"What's up with you this morning?" Bulma snapped glaring at him, to her surprise, he powered up to his super saiyan form and all nearby objects went flying.
"Kakarot is getting a visit." He said bluntly, taking off.
"He transformed in the house...That is it Vegeta, no gravity room for a month!" Bulma screamed running off after him.
Trunks stared after his father. He knew he still had a grudge against Goku, but never had he transformed in the house.
"Daddy's in trouble isn't he?" Bulla asked, looking up at her big brother. Trunks sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Yep, mum will make sure of that." He replied.
Over on Mount Potaz, Emily was having a sword spar with Mirai Trunks, with the audience of Jake, Alex, Pan and Goku who had Daisy on his lap. Gohan had been called away for some research meeting whilst ChiChi and Videl were chatting away in the Son kitchen. Goten on the other hand was busy talking into his mobile phone, but keeping his gaze fixed on his sister and brother in law, yet glancing occasionally at Jake and Alex who had surprisingly started to behave after his "little warning."
"When I get old enough, I want a sword." Alex stated, as she watched her mother's sword collide with her father's. Jake nodded.
"Yeah, they look so cool." He added. Goten rolled his eyes at this as he ended his phone call and put his phone away and walking over to the others.
"That's all we need is you two owning swords." He grumbled, shrinking back immediately at the death glares the twins shot him.
"Don't worry Goten, these two won't be touching weapons like these for a good few years yet." Mirai Trunks laughed at the tone in Goten's voice.
Suddenly, Emily stopped fighting her husband, moving out the way to avoid him slicing at her.
"Em? What's up?" Goku asked frowning at his daughter who looked up at the sky.
"Vegeta's coming here. He doesn't sound happy either. And he's super." She stated frowning herself now, Goten looked puzzled.
"What could possible get him so worked up so easily?" He asked, shooting Jake and Alex playful suspicious looks. They both growled at him shaking their fists only to get their uncle laughing at them.
"I don't know what his problem is Goten, but he'll probably start fighting someone so everyone be on your guard." Emily warned, replacing her sword back into it's sheath which was strapped to her back. She had a feeling it was the last time today she would be using it.
"Now don't start jumping to conclusions Emily." Goku said, staring at her as he put Daisy on the floor. Then suddenly out of no where Vegeta appeared and lunged at him and began throwing angry kicks and punches at him. Emily just smirked at her father.
"What was that dad? Why is it no one ever believes me? Come on you two, we'll go the park." She said, walking over and scooping her daughter on the floor, who was starting to cry at the sudden movement of her two grandfathers fighting.
"It's a good job your dad put her down when he did." Mirai Trunks said, looking at his youngest daughter in his wife's arms.
"He knew he was the one Vegeta would fight. That's why he did, if he'd have had more time, he'd have passed her to one of us." Emily replied, trying to calm Daisy down.
"Aw, but we wanna see Grandpa Goku and Grandpa Vegeta fight!" The twins pouted in unison, Mirai Trunks frowned at them.
"No, let them fight it out. Something isn't right here, and it's not a fight I want you two seeing. Come on let's go." He said, grabbing both of them by their arms as he lead them away from the three houses, whilst Emily looked over her shoulder at the two saiyans then sighed as she shook her head and followed her husband.
The fight between Goku and Vegeta lasted for hours, and sensing the two battling, Emily didn't come back till late. Eventually, after giving up finding out from Vegeta what was wrong, Goku knocked the saiyan prince out and instant translocated him to Capsule Corp.
Much later that night, for once not having any trouble putting the kids to bed, Emily and Mirai Trunks crashed out on the sofa. Planning on watching a movie, they both fell asleep moments later.
Mirai Trunks found himself surrounded by swirling fog which suddenly turned into the familiar ruins of a city. He gasped as he recognised it as the ruins of Pepper City.
"What's going on here?" He cried. A hand fell on his shoulder as he whirled around to see a figure he hadn't seen in years. The man flashed him a smirk, everything about him was just how Mirai Trunks remembered him, from the scar on his left eye right down to the missing arm, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Gohan?" He asked.
"Hey there little bro, what's with all the yelling? You should know by now that the androids are still lurking about." He said.
"The androids? But I killed them!" Mirai Trunks protested, getting confused now. Gohan smiled down at him. Even though he was no longer in the teenage form Gohan had last seen him in, the older saiyan still towered over him.
"You will one day, your not quite ready yet." He said softly as he took to the air.
Meanwhile upstairs, Alex shot up, waking her brother in the bunk below in the process.
"Al? What's up?" Jake asked sleepily.
"Someone's here." She growled jumping down off the bed and sneaking out the room. Sighing, Jake jumped off the bed too and followed his sister out the room. They both went into their parents room to see the bed empty, then checked out Daisy's room to find her sleeping soundly.
"Where can they be?" Jake whispered.
"I don't know. Let's go downstairs." Alex suggested.
Meanwhile, Mirai Trunks had followed Gohan and found himself at a familiar cliff, it was the cliff where he had last seen Gohan alive. But as soon as they touched down, an explosion could be seen from a couple of miles away.
"Trunks, stay here. I'm a lot more vulnerable with you there." Gohan said firmly, taking off again. Ignoring his command, Mirai Trunks followed from behind and hid behind a rock as he watched in shock as the two menacing androids appeared.
"How can this be? I killed them." He muttered to himself.
He got close enough to pick up on the taunts that the androids were shooting at Gohan. Then watched as Gohan powered up to super saiyan and lunged at them. Mirai Trunks watched as his best friend gave them all he had and for the first time in his life, he saw how he died.
Exploding in range, he lunged at the androids from his hiding place.
Back in the Briefs living room, the twins had just found their parents when their father powered up, sending them flying through the wall. Emily jumped at the sudden movement and snapped her eyes open.
"Trunks? Wake up!" She yelled, shaking him roughly.
Back in his nightmarish dream, Mirai Trunks powered up to level three but surprisingly this didn't effect the androids. The both started laughing as they floated back a bit.
"Stupid saiyan, didn't think you could actually beat us did you?" 18 sneered.
"Always the same, oh well there's only one left." 17 added nodding his head. Suddenly 18 powered up with a super saiyan aura and when the dust cleared, it was no longer 18, but Emily. Mirai Trunks gasped.
"Em?" He asked.
"You're pathetic Trunks. What kind of a fighter are you? You can't even beat the androids! I'm so disappointed in you." She sneered. 17 powered up also with a super saiyan aura and when the dust cleared away from him, it was no longer 17 but Jake and Alex, both wearing smug faces whilst folding their arms and staring at him.
"Daddy!" A voice cried, Mirai Trunks looked down to see Daisy sitting on the floor smiling up at him and raising her arms.
"Daisy! Get out of here!" He yelled, but catching him off guard, Jake and Alex lunged at him, having no choice, as he had decided these weren't his children, he began fighting back. Jake brought his knee up to his father's groin whilst Alex did a spin kick sending him to the ground. Daisy stood up and walked over to him.
"Daddy hurt." She mumbled, then screamed as she was blown away from him by a ki blast Alex fired at her.
"Daisy no!" He cried, watching as she smashed against the wall, instantly knocked out and blood pouring from a gash she had in her head. Jake and Alex floated back up and began laughing as Mirai Trunks looked up at them confused. How could they? Their own sister. And she didn't even stop them. How could Emily watch that happen to her own daughter?
"Can't even beat us, no wonder Uncle Gohan died. Pathetic Saiyan!" They spat, smirking down at him.
Back in the living room, Mirai Trunks stopped powering up and Jake and Alex were now standing in the doorway, both holding Daisy by the hand and staring at the scene.
"Trunks? Wake up honey! Why won't you answer me!" Emily screamed in frustration, still attempting to wake her husband up.
"Should I get grandpa Goku?" Alex asked, Emily spun around to see the three kids.
"No, leave him, he'll wake up eventually. What are you doing up anyway?" She asked staring at them now.
"Alex said she felt someone in the house." Jake said.
"Who did you feel?" Emily asked.
"Dunno, didn't recognise the ki signal, it felt weird like it wasn't from Earth." Alex replied shrugging her shoulders.
Suddenly Mirai Trunks woke up. Sighing with relief, Emily flung her arms around him.
"Oh Trunks you're alright. I was so worried!" She cried. To her surprise though, he pushed her off him. Emily crashed into the fireguard and stared up at her husband confused as he stared hard down at her, then turned to glare at the twins and Daisy.
"Get of me woman! And get the hell to bed you two!" He screamed, the twins yelled and ran out the room dragging Daisy who had burst into tears, Emily jumped up.
"What are you doing, they were concerned for you that's all. What is wrong with you?" She yelled, glaring at him.
"What isn't wrong? I can see clearly now. Get out of my life, I'm going home. Back to my timeline where I belong with out you or those stinking brats ruining it." He snapped.
"Is that it then? Your throwing away your family over a stupid dream?" She snarled, making her way over to him. Mirai Trunks narrowed his eyes at her as he fisted her in the face sending her crashing into the wall, blood beginning to pour down her nose now.
"I'm not being dragged down by this family ever again. Leave me alone." He growled, storming out the house. Tears began pouring down Emily's face as she stared after her husband in shock.
"Mum?" A little voice asked, Emily glanced at the doorway to see the twins.
"Go to bed you two." She sighed.
"Where's dad gone?" Jake asked.
"He's gone to cool down, go back to bed please." Emily replied firmly, both Jake and Alex reluctantly went back to bed, leaving their mother sobbing in the living room.
