Chapter 20: Trunks's Death and Vegeta's Rage

"You better watch yourself Saiyan. I'm not going to lose." Ziyan growled at Trunks.

"BEGIN!" Ziyan charged forward at Trunks. Trunks leapt up into the air but Ziyan disappeared and reappeared above him. Trunks looked up but Ziyan threw his fist into his face. Trunks hit the ground hard. He skid across it a few feet. Ziyan landed on his feet as Trunks stood up.

"Are you even ready for this Saiyan?" Ziyan asked as she crossed his arms. Trunks clenched his fists.

"I have a name! Use it!" Trunks shouted as he charged forward toward Ziyan. He hit him in his stomach but Ziyan showed no sign of pain. Then Ziyan kneed Trunks in his stomach sending him back a couple of feet. Trunks wrapped his right arm around his stomach as he gained his breath back slowly. Then Ziyan launched forward head butting Trunks in his stomach. Trunks fell back nearly off of the ring. But he regained his balance.

"What's your name then?" Ziyan asked.

"My name is Trunks!" Trunks shouted as he turned Super Saiyan charging toward Ziyan. Ziyan smirked as the saiyan came toward him. Trunks's fist started to go threw the air toward Ziyan. But he dodged them all and caught Trunks's last shot. He smiled evilly as he slammed his fist into his elbow nearly breaking it. "AAAAH!" trunks screamed in pain as he fell onto his knees. Ziyan still held onto his arm as he kicked him in the face sending him backwards. Trunks laid there on the ground with his arm shaking in pain.

"GET UP SON!" Vegeta's voice came from the ring side. Trunks slowly started to get up. Ziyan stood over him looking down on him. Trunks looked at him as Ziyan held out his finger.

"Pathetic." He said to him.

"BURSTER CANNON!" Trunks launched an unsuspecting attack. Ziyan went flying backwards to the edge of the ring with his shirt blown away. Trunks stood up charging toward Ziyan. Trunks grabbed onto Ziyan's foot slamming him onto the ring floor and then tossing him away like he was nothing. Trunks turned to look at Ziyan hopefully on the ground but he was quickly at his feet. Trunks stepped back as Ziyan's fist went into his stomach. Blood splattered out of his mouth onto the ring floor as he fell back. Ziyan launched a ki beam. Trunks kicked himself up in time to block the attack and send it right back at him but Ziyan flicked it up into the air.

Trunks and Ziyan lunged at each other. They both threw punches and kicks. But Trunks was getting beat up bad. Ziyan had no serious injuries. Ziyan then blasted Trunks away knocking him out of his super saiyan state. Trunks hit the ground hard and weak. He laid there on the ground shaking in pain as Ziyan walked over to him. He placed his foot onto Trunks's chest. He pressed down to the point where Trunks was screaming in pain and Ziyan could feel his heartbeat.

"You weren't much of a fight you know." Ziyan told Trunks. Trunks looked at him.

"Who said I was finished?" he asked.

Ziyan smirked. "I did!" Ziyan then launched an attack the entered his chest. Trunks body jerked upward as it fell back onto the tile ring. Trunks eyes stayed open as his head rolled to the left letting blood run out of his mouth.

"TRUUUUNKS!" Pan shouted as she closed her eyes tightly. The rest of the group stood in shock.

"He was killed in minutes!" Goten stated.

"Ziyan is extremely strong." Gohan said with Piccolo agreeing. Vegeta stood there staring at the body of his son. He couldn't believe that his son was dead. He wasn't going to believe it because he knew his son was stronger then that. Vegeta searched for his ki but it was truly gone. Vegeta's fists clenched as he closed his eyes tightly tilting his head toward the ground.

"My only son… killed in minutes." Vegeta said softly. Goku walked toward him placing his hand onto his shoulder.

"Vegeta…"

"Get your hand off of me Kakkarot!" Vegeta shouted as he pulled his shoulder away. Goku's hand now touched nothing but air. Vegeta looked up to see what the ref was going to say about his son.

"Team Rye has won this round! The next match starts with…!"

"No!" Vegeta shouted as he stepped onto the ring. The ref looked at him as he came closer. "I want to fight the man who killed my son!" Vegeta shouted.

"Vegeta! From Team Earth has decided to fight Ziyan!" the ref shouted. The crowd roared considering they never seen anything like this. No one has ever done what Vegeta was about to do.

Vegeta looked over at his son's body to see it was disappeared. He knew that King Yemma had taken his body. Vegeta looked back at Ziyan who stood there smirking.

"You're son couldn't defeat me. What makes you think that you can?" Ziyan asked.

"THIS!" Vegeta threw his fist into Ziyan's stomach and then he kicked his face sending him onto the ground of the tile ring. The ref scrambled back to his safe platform as the battle begun.

The rage within Vegeta grew more over his son's death. He was going to make Ziyan pay. No matter what it meant.

Ziyan tried to hit Vegeta but it was hopeless. Ziyan couldn't get one hit on him. Vegeta either blocked it or disappeared and reappeared somewhere else. Vegeta threw both of his fists in Ziyan's stomach. He then slammed his forehead against Ziyan's sending him onto the tile floor. Ziyan slowly shook the dizziness out of his head as he stood up.

"You're going to pay for what you've done to my son!" Vegeta shouted. Ziyan spit out blood off of the ring as he stood up looking at Vegeta.

"And you're going to pay for hitting me the way you did." Ziyan said. Vegeta smirked.

"Bring it on!" Vegeta shouted. Ziyan lunged forward but he was only blown away by the burst of energy around his saiyan opponent. Vegeta went all the way to Super Saiyan 4. He charged forward slamming his fist into his stomach. More blood came out of Ziyan's mouth. The blood splattered onto Vegeta's right cheek as he fell back. Vegeta stood there as he smeared the blood onto his glove. Ziyan stood up as he looked at Vegeta.

"You'll die!" Ziyan said, "I will defeat you!"

"From what it looks like to me, I'm defeating you!" Vegeta kicked Ziyan in the side of his head sending him back onto the tile floor.

"And this will not last long!" Ziyan launched upward hitting Vegeta underneath his chin causing his bottom lip to hit the top row of teeth cutting it open and making it bleed. Finally Ziyan got a hit on Vegeta but it wasn't going to last long. Vegeta wiped the blood coming down his chin. He then flicked his hand and the blood went onto the tile floor.

"You'll pay for that hit." Vegeta growled.

"Sure I will. Like I will pay for killing your son." Ziyan said to him. Vegeta's rage now touched its peek. Another burst of energy surrounded Vegeta as he lunged forward. it was like no one could stop his assault.

Pan fell to her knees as she covered her face with her hands. "Trunks was like my best friend!" Pan shouted out. Gohan got down next to his daughter placing his hand onto her shoulder.

"It's alright Pan. When we get home we'll wish him back." Gohan told her.

"Along with the other planets that were destroyed." Goku added. Everyone looked at him. "What Moritor is doing is wrong. He took many lives and we're going to bring them back with the dragon balls." Everyone within the group nodded their heads.

"But… we don't kno how long we're going to be here." Pan said to her grandfather as she stood up.

"We can contact King Kai and tell him to tell one of our friends to collect the dragon balls and wish Trunks back to life and to save the last wish." Goku answered.

"But… we don't know what the rules say about that." Piccolo said to Goku. "Everyone on his planet knows that Trunks died in battle. If we return the next day for another battle and he's with us they'll know that we did something get our fighter back to life." Piccolo then explained. Goku sighed.

"Piccolo's right. We'll have to wait till we win the tournament." Goten said to his father.

Vegeta and Ziyan's battle continued. Vegeta throwing his fists back into Ziyan's stomach. Ziyan took very blow and with each blow more blood splattered out of his mouth. He then backed away wrapping his arms around his stomach. Vegeta looked at him funny as he held his fists tightly. Ziyan hunched over with his head looking at the ground. He then started to chuckle weirdly as he spit out blood to the side of the ring.

"Is… is that all you got for me Saiyan?" Ziyan asked as blood dripped onto the ground. Vegeta clenched his fists tightly.

"Why you little…"

"I should've expected something like you after your son was much more of a fight." Ziyan added cutting in from Vegeta's sentence.

"You'll get it PUNK!" Vegeta lunged forward toward Ziyan. His rage had met its peek. Vegeta's rage couldn't be stopped now. Ziyan was getting it now. Vegeta's rage was so high that no one could stop him now. Nothing was going to get him to stop his assault on Ziyan. No one could calm him down. For Vegeta was going to get his revenge for his son.
