Hearts Together Worlds Apart
Chapter 34: Down to reality
The battle continued and we didn't seem to be making any progress. Goku and Vegeta had fused and were fighting him and Gohan was in no condition to fight. Trunks and Goten couldn't fuse again yet and I was exhausted. Gogeta fell and stayed down. Piccolo went to help them. It was my turn again. I went up and fought. I was losing I could tell but I needed to buy some time for everyone else to get back to full health so that we could at least stand a chance to win. I shot a ki blast which missed as the creature turned. It sent a wind which knocked me forcefully back down to the down. I tried to stand up.
Everything went into fast motion. I saw light. A bright light. I felt heat burning my skin. Then I felt something shoving me forcefully across into a pile of rubble. Then I felt cold again and saw darkness. Something ripped at my heart and my spirit was being torn agonisingly slowly.
I opened my eyes back to the battle field. I was now some way away from the creature and the spot where I had been a few moments ago. I looked around quickly. Goten's face was of pure terror and Vegeta's of anger. Goku of shock and Piccolo…I couldn't tell. I couldn't find Trunks anywhere. Then it hit me. I understood what had happened.
"H-He…he saved me…" I whispered.
"No." I said quietly, shaking my head. "No…NO! This isn't fair! This isn't happening!" Goten moved swiftly towards me and moved me a way away from the battle field. I lost sight of the others but not before I saw Vegeta fly out in a rage. Goten sat me on the ground and knelt in front of me. He put his hands to my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes. Tears stung them and streamed down my pale flesh and mingled with blood from my cheeks. Tears streamed smoothly and steady down my face but I wasn't making any attempt to stop them. My perfect world. My dream. My fairytale life. Gone… This was surely the price I had to pay for my fairytale life. This was more than that also. This was bitter reality. Goten's words began to bring me back into focus.
"He's gone Jesse." He said simply. "That…thing killed him. But he saved you. You need to go and destroy that thing and save earth. You owe it to him. Become an angel…I've seen you do it before! Don't be scared anymore Jesse…if you lose we all do. Don't let all this be for nothing. If you give up…we all lose everything."
"I can't!" I screamed. "Everything I was fighting for is gone Goten!" I burst into pitiful screams and wails. Goten hugged me.
"No it's not. Fight win. Save the earth." He said. "Just imagine how many others will lose people they love if you don't fight." He wiped my tears and forced me to look at him. "Fight Jesse. Fight. Use your pain. I've felt the power you have. Please I know you can win. I don't want to die." He admitted the last bit quietly. I stood up and charged up to super saiyan three. Then I flew at the creature head on. Vegeta looked at me in shock. I was pissed. I was bloody pissed. This creature ruined my life.
"I…hate…you." I told it venomously. It chuckled in my face. "BECAUSE OF YOU I FOUND OUT MY LIFE WAS A LIE! I WENT THROUGH HELL TRAINING! I AM IN ANOTHER WORLD! YOU JUST KILLED MY LIFE! I DID NOT COME ALL THIS WAY TO GIVE UP, LOSE, OR END YOU LOSING MY FRIENDS!" Piccolo smiled from down below. After everything that had happened he was smiling! I screamed loudly. My tears fell down my now red hot skin. I felt as if I was going to burst. My long now gold hair turned white. My skin, my eyes,. Everything become white. My clothes tore away and I knew that I now had wings. I caught one of my tears in my hand. I cupped my hands over it and seconds later parted my hands slightly. The tear was growing. It grew and grew until it was a large clear shiny orb.
"I DID NOT COME ALL THIS WAY TO LOSE!" I shouted. I threw it and instead of blowing up the creature. It was immersed inside the orb. Then as it was trapped in there I brought my hand together and it grew smaller again. With the creature in it. It came back to me and I held the now small orb in my hands with the tiny creature. "I BANISH YOU TO THE WHITE PRISON!" It disappeared.
I fell to the ground. Everyone surrounded me.
"She's back to normal." Gohan said slowly holding his head. Gohan stood trying to walk around.
"You're in no state to walk around. Just rest." Piccolo told him. Goten came and hugged me. I burst into tears again.
"H-He's gone…" I whispered. Goten held me tightly. I cried in his arms burying my head on his shoulder.
"I know Jesse." He said quietly. "I know." The others looked down at us. All of them had glistening eyes…even Vegeta. Goten was now crying too.
"He saved the only one who could save the world." Piccolo said quietly.
"He saved a friend." Goku said, resting a hand on my back.
"No. He saved the one he loved." Goten said. I cried more. Then I suddenly thought of something.
"No! This isn't the end! We can wish him back with the Dragonballs!" I said. They just remained looking grim. "Can't we? Goten?" He shook his head.
"Trunks has already been brought back to life with the earth Dragonballs once and the Namek dragonballs once. There is no way to bring him back." Goten said. "I'm sorry Jesse."
"NO!" I screamed. "No! He has to come back! I need him! I'll die without him!" I screamed over and over. Goten picked me up and the whole dull lot of us flew back to capsule corp.
There everyone was waiting for us. Chichi and Bulma ran and hugged their husbands. Bulma looked around.
"Vegeta?" she enquired. "Where's Trunks?" Bulma saw me then. In Goten's arms in hysterical tears. "Is he…?" Vegeta nodded to Bulma and turned away from her. Bulma screamed. "WHAT HAPPENED! WHY ISN'T MY SON HERE!" everyone looked at her. I disentangled myself from Goten's arms and went over to Bulma. I put a hand on her shoulder. Neither of us said anything but she turned around and hugged me tight. She started crying and I led her inside. We had both lost something. We both loved Trunks. Not in the same way but we had loved him. Vegeta had too. Everyone knew. But Vegeta of course would never admit this.
Author's Notes: That's right Trunks is dead and they can't wish him back. Now will Jesse go back home or stay? Can she even return? Review and I'll let you know. Who knows things may get better. Read and Review! THIS IS NOT THE END!
