A LOVE LIKE NO OTHER
by Blue Dreamer

Chapter 03 : Decisions are hard to take !

I was stunned ... Captain Stephen ... I mean ... Trunks ... Er... King Vegeta was married and had a child? How could I have even thought for a second that I had a chance with him?

I felt so stupid because my dear Trunks is definitely the one who has suffered most from this Alien attack since he was the cause of the destruction of his people in order to destroy the Aliens.

No wonder he seemed so distant with all of us ... no wonder ... and actually everything seems to be falling into place.

-"My mother was killed because of you" Sandy started to cry and ran towards the young King and started hitting his chest with her fists.

-"Stop that Sandy" her father tried to intervene even though he was in pain as well after hearing this.

-"He killed mummy," Sandy continued looking at her father "How can you forgive that?"

-"You may have preferred to be savagely brutalised by those brutes and then killed ... that was what you were going to get if the Captain ... I mean the King did not intervene," I shouted out of nowhere.

-"He killed your parents and friends as well," Sandy then snapped. "Doesn't that count in your eyes or are you so much in love with him that you don't care about your parents?"

-"I loved my parents more than anyone on this planet and don't YOU ever say that I don't care about them." I was ready to punch her if she continued but fortunately for her Alan stopped me and her from talking.

-"Now there is nothing we can do about the past," Alan started. "We have to look into our future and be united."

-"You're right," Ben stated as well.

-"I don't agree," Tony finally stated. "I don't see why you had to make that decision... Who gave you the right to dispose of our lives in that matter? It's not just a title that can permit you to do so!"

There was silence in the room after that and then a big commotion.

-"And what exactly would you have done?" Trunks asked him.

-"That's not the point," Tony argued.

-"That is exactly the point," Jeremy continued. "Would you have preferred to see the people around you being raped, slaughtered and killed and knowing that at the end of the day there would not be any Sayain's left on this planet or would you have tried to destroy them even if it meant most of your population would die ... if not all?"

Declamations were flowing about Trunks decision...

I just looked at him for a long time... No he was not a murderer but a saviour... He saved me after all.

-"What could have happened to your daughter ...?" I asked softly Trunks just managed to hear me.

-"I don't know... I just don't know!" he said with that sad distant look of his.

I wish I could have hugged him in my arms... But that would be of no use...

-"What are we going to do now?" Frank asked the group.

-"We should vote for a new leader," Tony said with enthusiasm

-"Why?" I asked him.

-"We must know whom we can trust or not... This is a good way of doing so... If his Majesty does not mind that is," Tony did a mock bowing.

-"I'm fine with that" Trunks answered.

-"Now each of you choose whom you would like to guide you... either King Trunks or me?"

-"Tony," Sandy started with determination.

The rest of us voted for Trunks and so he remained our guide in this miserable shelter.

-"What are we going to do though now King Trunks?" Mike asked him.

-"We cannot stay our entire life in this whole," Ben said for which we all agreed.

-"We have to go now... we have to protect the only planet in which we can survive and live in peace... That planet is where a few Sayains have been sent already... We have to head towards Earth," King Trunks finally said.

-"Just hoping it hasn't been invaded by Frieza and his troops..." I ended up saying.

-"And how are we going to go there?" Tony asked him.

-"There are underground military bases here... and there is a big spaceship that will take us to the Earth."

Earth... I remember my mom telling me that my Uncle Goten had volunteered to go there... So after all I might have some family left after all!

Just that thought made my day right. We were now going to look out for him...
