Hearts Together Worlds Apart

Chapter 26: Help me…

The next morning Trunks and I had gotten up extra extra early. We wanted to steal the gravity room before Vegeta got there.

We had run through some warm ups and now we were practising powering up. It was at 400G and I wasn't tired yet. This meant I was improving. I watched Trunks raise his power and watched his hair rise slowly upwards into super saiyan. Kami….he was gorgeous. I was so lucky. Well…no I wasn't because I was on the run from some evil guys…but we could defeat them easily. But then…if we did…I would have to go home… I gasped. Trunks looked at me. I began to panic. It was all very well me experiencing all of this wonderful stuff but what about when I had to leave…I would have to tear myself away from all this back to reality. I began to cry. Then I scolded myself for crying. I knew from the start that I would have to go home. I had told myself not to get attached to them…but I had…no matter how hard I tried not to…I had.

I felt someone holding me tightly and welcomed the comfort. I realised who it was and pushed him away. He looked at me puzzled. I started crying harder and fell back into his arms. I hugged him tightly. I couldn't hold him close enough.

"Don't leave me Trunks…don't let me go home…" I sobbed. "I don't want to go home…" He chuckled softly.

"Calm down. You're not going anywhere yet anyway." He said. He kissed me on the forehead. "Silly girl. You're upsetting yourself over something that may not even have to happen." I didn't let go. "They haven't even told Goten or I what the evil is yet."

"I-I…do." I whispered.

"You what?" he asked.

"I know what the evil is. I-I saw them…it wasn't my fault…t-they grabbed me and took me to this human crab like thing…there was loads of technology…more so than even capsule corp." I said.

"Why didn't you tell me!" he said grabbing my shoulders.

"Stop! I-I was sworn to secrecy on threat of death. They can trace energy so they know who I am. On sundown on the seventh day I have to lure Goku away to them alone. Then they want to kill him and most likely me. They can do what they wish with me…I-I…I'm their prisoner." I showed him the metal bracelet.

"W-What is that….but I…how could I have not….i didn't see that in the shower…." He said. He hugged me again. "I'm so sorry that you got into all of this." He started leading me out of the gravity machine. We went in doors and I didn't even ask what he was doing.

We stood in Bulma's lab. Bulma scurried around searching for things. She came over to me and took my hand. Then she tugged me over to a machine. She put me hand on a metal surface and ran a scanner over my arm. She pulled a face.

"This technology IS above that which we have here…" she said. "But…you say they didn't know you as anything but someone who knows Goku?" I nodded. "Hang on…" she reached for something that faintly resembled the scouters that Freezer had used. "I get it…your power level appears to be only that just above a normal human. They wouldn't have known how powerful you are." I looked at her strangely.

"But mom how can that be right? She's stronger than all of us. She lifted more of the strongest metal in the world in normal state than Goku could at super saiyan four." Trunks butted in.

"I don't know Trunks but it just is." She said. "Jesse can you go super saiyan for me?" I looked at Trunks worriedly. We both remembered last time I tried. Trunks took my other hand in his.

"You can do it. I'm right here." He said. I looked at him softly then I hardened my gaze, narrowed my eyes and nodded sharply. I clenched my other fist and closed my eyes. I stood quietly. I felt my power running through my body and concentrated on it. I thought of all my pain and all my joy at once and just shoved it all away. As far away as I could. Then I felt my power rising fast. I felt overwhelming. I felt as if I was going fall and collapse under the pressure. I let out a pained gasp. Trunks let go of my hand and moved behind me to support me. I couldn't do it…I hurt too much… Trunks wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my hair.

"Come on…you can do it…" he whispered. I felt the pain and shoved it away. All my life I had said I can't do it! I have always been negative…well not this time! I screamed and let go. I did it! I did it! I felt my power continuing to rise. The bracelet on my wrist shattered and the room began to shake. My power continued to rise. I couldn't stop it. I felt so powerful. The room just kept on shaking and everything started smashing and flying into the walls. Bulma cried out for me to stop but I couldn't stop it. It just kept on rising.

"I can't…control it!" I gasped. My power suddenly flew up and the room was reduced to rubble. Vegeta had arrived on scene and had picked up the now unconscious Bulma. I felt Trunks grip tighten and I watched as Vegeta winced. My power rose suddenly again. Goku suddenly appeared out of no where. Instant translocation… He watched me with a strange look in his eyes for a while before trying to come closer. Then yet again my power rose up quickly. I screamed in pain and horror. The earth was cracking under my feet. And I felt power just bursting to keep coming.

"Brat! Do something!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks grabbed my arm and span me around. I opened my eyes to see him facing me. I screamed again and Trunks was sent flying backwards. I saw him power up and reach Goku. Then they disappeared. I vaguely wondered where they were before they appeared right in front of me. Trunks grabbed me and kissed me. In one last flash of power we were torn apart but then I fell to the ground.

I crawled to my hands and knees. I bowed my head and coughed in a fit for tears. Goku came over to me. He helped me to my feet. I saw Trunks lying on the ground against what was left of a wall. I ran or rather staggered towards him. I fell to my knees at his side and shook him lightly.

"Trunks?...wake up Trunks…" I said softly. I felt my tears still falling. I hugged him tightly and sobbed aginst his chest. "Trunks I'm sorry…I didn't mean to. I won't do it again…please wake up…" I felt someone grabbed my shoulder and yank me backwards.

"What the hell did you think you were doing!" Vegeta yelled. I just cried. "You could've easily killed us all and probably shattered the planet into grains as small as sand!"

"Vegeta she didn't know it would do that." Goku said. "She couldn't control it."

"B-Bulma asked me to go super saiyan…s-so…I tried to…i-i-i…didn't know it would do that…it wouldn't stop." I sobbed at their feet.

Author's Notes: Well, there's yet another chapter. When I first started writing this I had no idea that it would be so long. Twenty seven chapters including the prologue and we haven't even met the evil guy yet, well not properly. Ah well. I guess I'll just have to keep on writing and you'll just have to keep on reading and reviewing.
