The loss of a parent

The list of deaths were increasing in number. The whole world was in a panic telling everyone to be careful as they wandered the streets. Bulma was sitting in the living room a nervous wreck, and if she could find a smoke she would have started. Mirai Trunks came up from the lab seeing his mother in her condition. " Mother? You alright? He asked.

Bulma was in a state of near total shock. Her eyes were glued onto the news seeing the pictures of all the massacred villages and cities. " This is just too awful. There must be some kind of dream… it can't be happening…" She said in a scared but weak tone.

Mirai Trunks' expression was one of concern and understanding. He had lived through the kind of horrors that were going on right now in this world. He had grown up learning this terrible feeling of fear. Trunks sighed as he picked up the controller and shut the television off before it took his mother in completely. Bulma snapped out of her transe and looked at her elder son.

" Mirai… hi.."

" You alright mother?"

Bulma nodded. " I think I'll be alright. I just can't believe the stuff I am seeing on the news.. all those cities… all those innocent people… how can that monster do such things… it doesn't make any sense… why is all this happening.. How can it be happening…"

Mirai embraced his mother. " I know… it's hard… but I had to go through this exact same thing when I was growing up. It's not a picnic but I can tell you this much mother… we will defeat this monster."

Bulma sighed as she leaned back in her chair. " I hope your right Trunks… I want all this madness to end… I want life to go back to the way it was…"

Mirai nodded. " I want the same thing… but give it time… it will happen…"

Meanwhile down in the lab Trunks was looking over his plans trying to find the means of shutting him down. He was getting frustrated. The young boy had not had a break in a pretty long time and he was tiring out. " There has got to be a why to beat this thing…"

Mirai Gohan looked at Trunks. " Hey… Come on Trunks.. take a breather… you might be able to find Sesame's weakness when you get something to eat and get some rest."

" No… I can't waste time… I have to complete this thing now…"

Mirai Gohan narrowed his eyes. " Trunks… stop it… you'll push your see too hard and then you will only have more problems… take a break."

" NO! I CAN'T!" Trunks shouts at the elder Demi Saiyan.

Mirai Gohan takes hold of Trunks. " I said take a break! I know you want to find the weakness that badly but if you continue doing it this way you won't be doing anyone any good! Trust me on this. Everyone will benefit if you are rested and fresh when you do this…"

Trunks gave Mirai Gohan a glare. " Don't tell me how to do this! I created this problem I will spend every waking hour trying to destroy it!" Trunks turned back to his work. The young Demi Saiyan started to sway back and forth clearly showing fatigue. Soon after a little while Trunks passed out in the arms of Mirai Gohan.

Mirai Gohan looked down at the young boy as he picked him up to bring him upstairs. " You shouldn't put the whole world on your shoulders kid… you'll just wear yourself out…"

Mirai Trunks and Bulma looked over at the now open lab door. Bulma's eyes widened in shock when she saw her young son in Gohan's arms.

" What happen to him?" She asked with concern tone in her voice.

" Trunks just tired himself out. He's working really hard to shut Sesame down… and he just did too much and he passed out."

Bulma shook her head. " He takes after both of his parents too much…"

" I see that." Mirai Trunks said, " But you can certainly say that he is committed."

Bulma nodded. " Put him down Gohan." Gohan nodded and placed young Trunks on the bed. Bulma walked over and felt his head. Trunks was burning up. Bulma looked at his with concern. " My poor boy…he's gone and worked him self into a cold… I better go out and get some medicine for him…"

Mirai Trunks looked at his mother. " But are you sure that is safe?"

Bulma looked at her son. " Don't worry about me… I'll be fine…"

" I should really go with you… just in case." Mirai Trunks insisted.

Bulma shook her head. " No Trunks… you have to stay here… I'll be back in a little while… don't worry…"

Mirai Trunks sighed in defeat. " Alright Mother.. but be careful…."

Bulma smiled. " Don't worry…I will." Bulma walked out the door.

Mirai Gohan looked at Mirai Trunks. " Are you sure that was the right thing to do? I mean Sesame is still out there…"

" There is no point arguing with mother… once her mind is made up there is no turning back.. you know that Gohan.."

" I know but I still don't like leaving her alone…"

Bulma was walking down the street to the pharmacy. Sesame was onto some buildings smiling. ' So this woman will be my next victim… Too bad she is family…' He thought, ' But I can't leave too many people alive that can find my weakness and shut me down.'

Bulma walked in to the drug store. The young lady behind the counter smiled. " What can I do for you Mrs. Briefs…"

" I need some strong cold medicine."

" I know just the stuff… hubby come down with a cold or was it one of the little ones."

" It was my younger son. He worked himself sick…"

The young woman smiled at Bulma. " Takes after his mother doesn't he." She rang up the medication. " Hope your little boy feels better… and be careful going home Mrs. Briefs…"

Bulma smiled. " Thanks again.." Bulma walked out of the drug store. Bulma got several yards away from the store when she ran into Sesame. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw the android standing there. " You're… Sesame…." She managed to breathe out.

Sesame smiled as he pulled her into an ally. " You must be Bulma… It's a shame I have to kill you…"

Bulma backed away from the android. " But why… I never did anything to you…"

" It's not what you did… its what you can do in the future that worries me… I will not be stopped… not by you… not my creator… not by anyone!"

Bulma narrowed her eyes. " You will be stopped Sesame! Mark my words… you will be defeated and no more innocent people will be killed."

Sesame laughed at her words. " I have said this countless times before… but all of these people on this planet are my play things and I am their master… I rule over them all… not a being alive can beat me…. My reign will go on forever!"

" You just like to hear yourself talk don't you!" Bulma spat.

Sesame smiled. " You have a sharp tongue Bulma…." Sesame lifted his hand and grabbed hold of her neck. He lifted her into the air. Bulma struggled to break his grasp but it was all in vain.

" You bastard…." She cursed out.

Sesame smile widened. " Say hello to all my other victims for me will you my dear… Farewell…" With that he crushed her. Bulma's body fell to the ground. Sesame laughed as he walked off. " That's just another victim on the list of countless others…."

Meanwhile Mirai Trunks was looking at the clock and then back at the door. He stood up with a serious look on his face. " She has been gone too long… I have to go find her…"

Mirai Gohan nodded. " Be careful Trunks…"

" I will." Mirai Trunks ran off into the city looking for his mother. He sniffed the air looking for a hint of the bad smell of blood. Trunks soon found it and ran to its source. His eyes widened when he saw his mother's lifeless body on the floor. The medication that she had gotten laid all over the floor near her. The Demi Saiyan fell to his knees crying. " Oh mother… how could this happen…" He banged his hands on the ground shouting with pure pain of loss. His power had reached a high that he had never reached before. Mirai Trunks was the closest to reaching SSJ5. After Trunks took serveral deep breaths he walked over to his mother's body and picked it up. He carried her back to the house.

Mirai Gohan looked at the door when Mirai Trunks and Bulma came in. Trunks shook his head. " I was too late… She's gone…."

To be continued….

Hey everyone. How was that? Evil yet again. So many people are dying in this fic… but sad to say I'm no where near finished… so lots of more murders will happen throughout the course of many chapters fooling. And I will say this at least… you will see how everyone will react when they all gather back together and tell what happened… that will be major Trunks beating on… But that's not for a while later. Well anyway… I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Please review. Till next time.
