Finally Over?
Trunks' POV
I sat on my couch holding my stomach, witch was in hundreds of tight knots. Oh I hope my dad will be ok. My mom was no where to be found when I arrived home. Though, I can't say that I wanted to see her, so it didn't matter to me.
"Trunks…. Is that you?" The voice made me jump. "Oh sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.."
"Goten! You up. Thank God. Are you feeling better?" I asked standing up and walking toward him.
"Who me? Oh ya. Still a little weak feeling, but that's all." Goten said rubbing his eyes. "So what has happened since I've been out?"
I hesitated for a moment. I still didn't know what was happening. "Well… your dad came here… and…" I could feel tears starting to fill my eyes, and my voice crack up.
"No… he didn't? Please tell me he didn't do it to you too?" Goten said putting both hands on my shoulders, with a firm grip.
"He didn't, don't worry. But if my dad wouldn't have come at the right time… I… wouldn't be here talking to you." That was all I could say, falling back down to the couch sobbing into my arms. "I was going to kill myself Goten! Even my dad wouldn't have done that, and look what he went through. I gave up! I just gave up, Goten!" I yelled through wet eyes.
"Come on buddy, it's ok now… you didn't do what you were going to, so just forget it…. So… your dad's fighting my dad right now?" Goten asked unsure at first.
I swallowed hard. "Yah, that's right." I was calming down a little now, but the knot in my gut refused to go away. "What if your dad kills him? Goten! He'll come for us next!" I said suddenly as that thought passed through my head.
"Come on Trunks, have a little more faith in your dad. I'm sure he'll do just fine. And if it really comes to that… well, I guess we'll have to just stayed hidden until we are strong enough to beat him… but I'm sure it won't come to that." Goten said, him even sounding a little worried.
I took a deep trembling breath. "Lets hope so Goten… lets hope so…"
Vegeta's POV
I had finally done it. Out smarted, and surpassed my life long rival. But this was not the way I had thought it would feel. I was going to end his life, not just shove my victory in his face. Though I knew that Goku had become a different person, one that could not be aloud to live. "This is the end Kakorott. It's to bad it had to come to this…" I said looking once more into his deep blue Saiyan eyes. I could feel the energy in my palm pulsating with every passing second.
"Stop! Vegeta no!" Goku said the look of fear writing all over his face. I just ignored him though. Nothing now would be able to change my mind. It was settled. "Well fine. But before you kill me, I have a few things I need to clean up first." He said, now with his cold grin back on his face.
"I'm not letting you get away Kakorott…" Right as I said that the full blast from my had escaped, creating a massive explosion. One that even Kakorott would not be able to live through.
"Like I said Vegeta… I'm not finished here yet."
Goku's POV
I loved my instant transmission trick. Always did come in handy when I was in a tight spot. But now was no time for celebration. I knew I was going to be killed eventually, Vegeta had become much stronger then I would have ever expected, and wouldn't be that easily fooled.
"Oh Goku! Thank God your back!" Chi-Chi said running from the house looking stressed. "Something is wrong with Gohan… He's locked himself in the bathroom and won't come out. I can't open the door."
"He's dead Chi-Chi… Vegeta killed him." I said calmly. "And you were dumb enough to heal his wounds by giving him a senzu bean…"
She just stared at me like I was mental. "No… He can't be dead! Goku, why would have you let that happen?" Chi-Chi yelled tears filling her eyes. I just ignored her cries and walked passed her into my house and to the bathroom door. Then once I got the door open I was able to set eyes on the bloody mess that lie in the bathtub. "Ahhhhhhhh! Goku! Our son!" Chi-Chi yelled running past me to kneel beside Gohan.
"Gohan deserved to die, if he could allow himself to be that easily killed, and in that manner. Foolish boy…" I said cursing under my breath.
"What! Goku what are you saying? How could you have let Vegeta do that to him?" Chi-Chi cried.
"Will you shut up woman! Fuck! I so sick of your bitching. It's your own fault, you had to go off and give Vegeta a fucking senzu bean!" I yelled deciding that I'd better finish her off before Vegeta got a sense of where I was. "But don't worry…. You will be seeing him soon…." I said coldly. The look on her face quickly faded and turned to fear. "I'll give you five seconds to run… one!..."
"Listen to what you are saying Goku! I'm your wife! You can't kill me!" She said in a shaky unsure voice.
"Five!" I said skipping the rest of the numbers. I'd gotten sick of hearing her wine. Using a quick but powerful beam I shot it strait at her face. She never even had a chance. "Useless woman. Why I ever married you is beyond me." I turned and walked silently back out side, where as I had expected felt Vegeta's energy as he tried to hurry to my power single. "Good. That should give me plenty of time to finish my job…"
Goten's POV
I could feel Vegeta's power moving quickly toward my house. That must be where my dad was. I just hoped that my mom didn't get mixed up in all of this. "Hey Trunks, what anything to eat? Or drink?" I asked trying to comfort my best friend.
Looking up, his eyes still wet with tears, slowly shook his head. "No thanks… I'm not that hungry, but if you want anything go ahead and help yourself." He said looking back down at his feet.
"Well ok…" I said then got up to get myself a cold glass of water.
The kitchen was dark and lonely. I was in no rush to sit back in the living room with Trunks. He was to depressing, though not that I can blame him. It's just that he acts as though he got it so much worse then me. And I was the one who was violated by my own dad and brother. He needed to pull himself together if he was going to make it through this. We could cry all we wanted once we knew Vegeta had beaten my dad.
The cool liquid was relaxing as is slipped down my throat. I still felt sick from the previous events, so holding the water down was a little harder then it should be. Putting the cup down I decided to just sit down at the table. But when doing so Trunks power level suddenly started to plunge. Sitting bolt up I quickly ran full speed back into the dimly lit living room. Where the sight that met my eyes made me freeze…
Vegeta's POV
Once I arrived at back at Goku's house I realized just how fucked up he had truly become. Chi-Chi had been the reason for his sudden power increase. Poor woman, didn't even know what hit her… Being extra careful I made sure to check every room in the house, just to make sure he wasn't playing chicken. Then when my sons power level dropped out of no where. It hit me, I was so stupid! Why didn't I just go there? Powering up to full strength I headed back to only place I wanted him to stay away from. Praying once again for God to answer my wishes….
Goku's POV
This was almost to good to be true. The feeling of taking some ones life this easily. Trunks' neck was weak and helpless as I slowly squeezed his breath away. And knowing that his sudden power decrees would draw my son out from hiding, excited me even further. Everything was going according to plan.
"Dad! Stop it!" It was Goten, just as I had predicted. So having no use for the boy I through him hard through the back wall, and turned to face my last victim.
"So good to see you son… How have you been… since the last time we visited?" I asked grinning at my sons expression as it faded from anger to fear.
"Trunks, are you ok?" He asked turning his eyes from mine to the brat, who was slowly trying to get up.
"Goten… this means… that my dad.. he's… been…" Trunks said trying not to cry. He was so weak. Probably worth killing along with Goten.
"Don't say that Trunks… we would have felt it…" That was the last word I allowed out of my boys mouth before slamming my knee into his fragile gut. He choked as the air was knocked from his lungs.
"Why would you have felt it? Come now… do you think I would have given the out come of that fight away that easily?" I said watching Trunks' expressing turn sick. Next, using a small but powerful beam I launched it dead into the side of Goten's head, sending him flying sideways, through the wall and out onto the front lawn. That had done it, he could hardly get to a sitting position. This was my chance to end it. "Well son.. it would seems as though you will be seeing your big brother soon enough. Oh yes and your dear mother is there expecting you too." I said moving in front of him and out stretching my arm, palm facing him. "Prepare yourself boy!" I had almost gathers enough energy into my had when some ones power level appeared right behind me. Moving just in time I was able to only get a deep scratch from the cold metal blade. Being quicker than the fool I ducked down, turned on my heels then cracked him hard in the jaw. So hard it even surprised me. Trunks crashed hard into the wall of his house where he remained.
Maybe taking care of him wasn't such a bad thing after all. "Just what were you planning to do boy!" I yelled picking up his sword that he'd dropped after my attack. This would be more fun then I had thought…
Trunks' POV
My body hung helplessly in the side of the huge building I call home. My surprise attack had not went the way I'd planed it to go. I had risen my energy level to much. Other wise I would have had his head cut clean off his shoulders.
"I would believe this to be yours?" The sudden voice startled me, but did not prepare me for the sharp pain that caused me to scream out in agony, as my own sword was forced recklessly through my middle, tarring away anything that was caught inside. I heard the blade stick into the wall behind me and Goku laugh. "That's what you get for trying to be a backstabber." He said with a snicker turning around and making his was back to Goten.
"Now… Where were we? Oh yes… I was just about to kill you. But that punk friend of yours tried to interfere… how rude, wouldn't you say?" I head him say as he once again charged up his hand. This was it, we were all doomed. My father was no where to be seen, Goten was going to be blown to bits, and I was going to bleed to death. I felt a hot glob of blood bubble up in my throat making me choke and spit the red liquid everywhere.
"Go-go…Goten…" I said taking in deep breaths every time I spoke, and slowly watching my eye-lids fall shut. This was it…
Goku's POV
I had won! Nobody would live after this. Except that fool Vegeta. But he would live all alone. Because he was to slow to save the ones he cared for.
My last remaining bit of energy was now in the palm of my hand. I could see that Goten knew what was coming. His eyes were looking down at the ground, witch I were sure had tears in them. "It's over!"
"Not to fast Kakorott…" His voice pierced my ears like a needle. "You know… Instant Translocation is a pretty nice trick. However it's rather easy to copy. And your right… It is over… GOTEN MOVE!" Vegeta yelled placing his now burning hot hand to my back. I don't even know how he did it, Goten I thought was to weak to move. And how could have Vegeta mastered a move that took me almost half a year to learn? "Prepare yourself, low class clown… The Prince of Saiyan's will rise again!" Everything suddenly went bright silver, and a heat took over my body that I had never felt before. One that quickly ate away at all of my flesh. Then… there I was, standing in front of King Yema's giant desk. Him looking rather angry with me… just great….
Vegeta's POV
"Are you ok Goten?" I asked softly approaching the shocked looking boy.
"Veg-v-Vegeta… you were ok… I… We.. thought… That, you know? He killed you?"
"Well your safe now. Where's Trunks?" I asked, but found my answer before the boy could speak. Rushing over I pulled the blade from my sons gut, making him cry out in pain. "Quickly Goten, go ahead and prepare a rejuvenation tank. There in Bulma's lab. Hurry!" I demanded lifting Trunks into my arms, his blood staining my clothes. "You hold on Boy! you here me?" I said running quickly into the house and down toward the lab. Once there I almost ran right into the my now pail looking wife. "You get that tank ready before you go anywhere woman! This is your son were talking about. So at least do it for him." We both stared at each other for a moments, then nodding slowly she turned around and started fiddling with the computer.
"Ok Vegeta, tank number 4. He'll need the best one here to heal that wound." Bulma said still with a shaky voice.
Going as fast as I could, I undressed my son and quickly got him into the small, one-man take. Then watched as it filled up with a clear purple liquid. "How long will this take?"
"Ummm… I'd say a good day or so. That cut goes right through him. He'll be lucky if he even manages to make it through ok…"
"Well it's nice to know that your so concerned… Now follow me… I need a word with you." The look on her face when I said that made me grin. She was terrified. "Goten, you keep an eye on him. I'll be back soon."
I turned back to the door, then walked silently out into the hall, where Bulma was waiting. "Vegeta, I can explain!"
"There is nothing to explain woman! You fucked up. And because of your choice, three people are dead! Including Chi-Chi, who had nothing to do in your sick game. Plus not to mention the face that your own son was almost killed, as well as his best friend! Anymore people you want to kill? That was what you were out to gain right?" I said staring her down coldly.
"No! That wasn't it at all. I…. I made a mistake. And I know that. But- but I can't do anything to change what I did now. And besides I never intended for Goku would do such awful things to his own family. I only intended him to…." She broke off forcing her gaze to the floor.
"To what! To hurt me! Was that it! You only wanted him to fuck around with the man you married, the man who's child you had! And the man that saved your life and this stupid planet you call home more then once! IS THAT IT!" I yelled unable to keep my voice from yelling.
I had gotten to her. All she could do was cover her face with her hands and cry. It was pitiful. "You know.. I was going to kill you. But now that I see how pathetic you are. I'd have to say that… your not even worth killing. However you will no longer be able to see your son. And you will also be handing over a large share of money, so that myself, your son and the boy, who I have to now look after can have a decent place to live. Do we make ourselves clear?" She looked up at me, and for a second I though she might actually start to argue with me. But that face quickly faded.
"Ok… I'll have the money along with some capsules waiting for you on the table once Trunks is healed." She said then turned around and quickly left me standing alone in the hall.
"Ummm.. Vegeta… Sir?" It was Goten
"You can call me Vegeta, sir is not necessary. What would you like?" I said watching as Goten walked quietly into the hall to stand in front of me. He looked pretty battered. His face was bruised, he had a deep cut above his left eye, and his jet black hair was matted. His orange gi was torn and dirty, and he looked exhausted.
"Well… ummm… my mom?... is she….?"
"She was killed Goten. You fathers work… I'm sorry." I couldn't help but feel bad for the kid. He had just lost his entire family within a matter of hours. "But don't worry, you will be staying with me from now on. Bulma will be giving us a house and some money so we should be all right."
"ok….." He said looking down at his feet. I could sense that he wanted to cry, and I could smell the tears filling up in his eyes after a few moments.
"Don't cry Goten. A Saiyan never cries. How's Trunks making out?" I asked trying to get his attention on something ells.
"Don't cry! I just lost every single one of my family members! I have no one on the face of this planet left! All of them! My mom, dad, and my brother! Even if two if them were bad people I still lost them! SO don't YOU tell me that crying is weak! At least Trunks still has you… and his mom for that matter." Goten yelled tears spilling from his eyes.
Goten's POV
It hurt. Every part of my body. Inside and out. What was I going to do? Everyone I'd loved was dead. I could feel Vegeta's hard stare, forcing me to look at my feet. He wanted me to tough it out. But that was mush easier said then done.
"I know it hurts Goten, but you just going to have to accept it."
"How could you know! You don't know anything!" I screamed clenching my fist. Then out of nowhere the back of a hand slapped me hard across the cheek, stunning me for a moment.
"Don't you dare think that you've hade it any worse then me boy. I had to sit there and accept the fact that my entire home planet was blown to nothing! And latter learn that it was the very man who took me away from my father who did it. But not once did I allow what happened to get the better of me. Crying is ok, and if that is what you need to do to help you through this then fine, cry. But don't you think for a second that I don't know anything about loss, because your dead wrong." He said grabbing my chin with the hand he had hit me with and making me look him in the eye.
A sudden guilt fell over me. He was right. I'm not the only one who has lost everything. And I didn't even have it half as bad as he did. If he could make it through all of what he did, then I knew I could. He never allowed me to turn my head away as my tears began to fall freely from my eyes. I wanted more than anything to curl into a ball and just cry. But I knew he wouldn't allow that.
"There… just let it all out. No sense keeping it all inside." Vegeta said, with a much nicer voice, releasing my face. His hands then moved over to my shoulders placing one on each of my shoulders. "Are you going to be ok?" He asked, but I was still crying to much to answer.
"I'm… s-s-sorry…Vegeta." I said wanting now just for him to give me a hug, but I knew that would be pushing it.
"I understand. Not striating up. We need to worry about Trunks now. How did you say he was doing?"
I quickly whipped away my tears, then cleared my throat. "I think he's making alright progression da-… oh.. sorry Vegeta." I said quickly noticing my mistake.
"You may call me father if you really want to. It makes no difference to me." He said, then walked passed me back into the lab. I could already tell… things were going to be ok…
Trunks' POV
I could feel the cool liquid healing every bruise and cut on my body. There was a constant tingling sensation, as I slowly started to wake up. I was in a rejuvenation tank, and I thought I could see someone standing out side of it watching me.
"Draining rejuvenation tank now. Pleas keep oxygen mask on until instructed." The ladies voice from the computer said as the warm fluids started to empty, leaving my body cold and exposed. But other then that I felt relatively fine. "Dad… Is that you?" I said through the oxygen mask slowly, my eyes still blurry from the water.
"Just a moment son." I heard him say. My heart leaped, it was him! We were safe.
I felt the door of the tank open, releasing another cold gust of fresh air, witch made my nipples go hard. Along with something ells, witch I quickly tried to cover.
"Way to go Trunks you dog. Wakes up after almost getting killed, and the first thing on his mind is girls. What a guy." Goten said laughing, and causing me to go red. My dad just grinned, then passed me a nice warm towel that I quickly coved my self with after removing the mask.
"Listen up you two, I need you to go find a nice remote area that we can put a house. That will be where we will be living from now on. So make sure it's a good spot. I have to go and pick up the capsules and money from Bulma, so I'll catch up to you later." My dad said moving to the door. It was so good to hear his voice again.
"Dad… I…. I…." I said unsure on how to say it.
"What is it?"
"I'm glade your back." I said once again turning a little pink, as my father smiled, then turned and left.
"Come on Trunks lets go find a cool place!" Goten said pointing out my clothes to me.
"So… how long was I out for?" I asked stumbling to get my pants on.
"Almost two days. You lost a lot of blood. But your ok now, might be a little weak still, but ok." He said, a sigh of relief washing over his face.
We never took long to find a nice area near a huge forest, and water fall. There was plenty of space where we could put the house, and even more room for sparing and relaxing. My dad was pleased with where we picked when he got there, and immediately opened the capsule containing our new home. I was beginning to feel at home already.
Vegeta's POV
We all lived together after that. I sent the two brats back to school, and insisted that they get jobs. Bulma did give us a nice house, it even had a gravity room attached to the fare right side. Training was something that all three of us did regularly. I wanted to make sure we were ready incase we ever needed to fight a strong opponent again. Though which ever the case I was proud of both my boys. They were becoming true men.
As for me… I keep up my training (of cores). I still have nightmares about Kakorott, but could easily forget them. Other then that I recover both physically and mentally almost fully. Never again would someone take advantage of the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta…
Well that's it. My very first story to be complete. I hope you all enjoyed it. Because I did. Please revue and tell me if I should have a part 2. I was thinking something along the lines of Bulma wishing Goku and Gohan back, and they have become much stronger. And then they go seeking revenge, and try to do to Vegeta what they did before… but that is just an idea… tell me what you think! Thank you all for reading and for all your great revues. -
