TRUNKS: WARRIOR OF DREAMS

Chapter 2

A month had passed since Trunks died and things were anything but normal at Capsule Corporation. The morning after Trunks died, Vegeta left and no one knew where he had went. Bra fell into a deep depression and spent most of the time asleep; she hadn't returned to school in two weeks. Bulma tried to keep going, but with her son dead, her husband gone, and her daughter shut down, she just didn't know how to. Her lab sat untouched, a project stopped halfway. She hadn't cooked in over a week; she was thankful Yamcha stopped by once a day to check on her and Bra and to make sure they had food. ChiChi came when she could, but she more often called. Bulma was sitting on the couch drinking some hot tea when she heard some noise from Bra's bedroom. Bulma walked to her daughter's room where she saw Bra tossing and turning in bed, asleep. Bulma dropped her cup and ran to her daughter as she noticed Bra sweating and pale. "No! No! Not Bra! Not her, too!" Bulma cried as she pulled the covers from her daughter. She franticly checked Bra, worried the heart virus was about to take her daughter from her, too. Bulma could barely think and she began to shake. She fell to her knees next to the bed and began to cry.

"Bulma!" ChiChi called as she walked in the door, "Bulma, are you home?"

"In Bra's room, ChiChi," Bulma managed to answer.

ChiChi walked into the room and saw Bra shaking and Bulma crying. ChiChi gasped, remembering all too well the way Goku had looked when he had the heart virus. "Oh, Bulma," ChiChi knelt next to her and let Bulma cry on her shoulder.

"Trunks is gone because of this disease and now Bra looks like she has it, which means Vegeta probably has it, too," Bulma sobbed, "And I don't even know where Vegeta is. I didn't think he would be gone this long. He's not dead, I know that, but if he's out there, suffering. Chichi, what am I going to do?"

"Shh, it's okay, Bulma," ChiChi held her friend as Bulma sobbed, "I'll call Goku and have him go find Vegeta. No matter where Vegeta is, Goku can find him. Then, let's call Videl and have her come over and check on Bra and you, just to be sure. I know you can diagnose Bra, but you are too close to her and you are still hurting from Trunks dying. Videl can better access the situation. It could just be that Bra has a cold or the flu." Bulma just nodded, knowing ChiChi was right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not far away, Vegeta watched his wife and daughter. "Please, don't take Bra, too," Vegeta quietly begged. He still didn't know how to deal with Trunks' death; he couldn't face losing his daughter as well.

"You know they need you," a voice said behind Vegeta.

"Kakarot," Vegeta sneered; he didn't want to be bothered, "What do you want?"

"Bulma asked me to find you," Goku replied, ignoring Vegeta's hostility, "I couldn't tell her that you've been within walking distance for the past month. Vegeta, I know you're hurting, but Bulma and Bra, they need you."

"What do you know, Kakarot!" Vegeta jabbed, turning to face the other saiyan, "You do not know what it's like to loose a child!"

"I do, more than you know, Vegeta. Right now, Gohan is at the house taking care of Goten. He's come down with the heart virus now, too. ChiChi hasn't said anything to Bulma because she's hurting over losing Trunks, and you. Videl doesn't know if Goten's going to survive or not," Goku replied somberly; Vegeta's jab hitting home harder than he meant it to.

"Humph," Vegeta replied and then flew to the door of Capsule Corporation. Goku smiled and then transported home to care for his youngest son.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vegeta walked into Bra's room just in time to hear Videl give the prognosis. "I'm sorry, Bulma," Videl said, shaking her head, "I'm afraid Bra is in the final stages of the virus. She's in a coma, she'll be lucky to make it through the night." Bulma collapsed to her knees and sobbed as Videl and ChiChi looked at each other.

"No, it can't be." Bulma, ChiChi, and Videl looked to the doorway to see Vegeta, who hadn't realized he said it aloud.

"Vegeta," Bulma cried as she ran to him. She buried her head into his chest. Vegeta stood, staring at his daughter and found himself holding Bulma close to him.

"She won't open her eyes or respond, but I know she can hear you if you want to say something to her," Videl said as she and ChiChi moved to the door, "We'll leave you alone. If you need us, we'll be in the living room." Then they left.

Bulma and Vegeta walked toward their sleeping daughter. Bulma leaned on Vegeta, unable to support herself. Vegeta gently helped Bulma sit down on the bed and then knelt next to the bed himself. Then, against what Videl had said, Bra opened her eyes. "I'm sorry," she said weakly, "Daddy, hold me." Vegeta gently picked up his daughter and sat on the bed next to his wife. Bulma leaned on his shoulder, stroking Bra's hair. Bra closed her eyes and let her parents hold her. "I'm sorry," she said once more, "I love you." Then Bra took her last breath and her body disappeared. Bulma burst into tears and collapsed into Vegeta's arms. This time, Vegeta didn't try to hide his sorrow as he let tears roll down his cheeks; how could they live without their children?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bra looked around at the planet King Yemma said she could go to. She sobbed a little; it reminded her of Earth, except she didn't know anyone here. She already missed her parents and she wondered if she would get to see Trunks here in the Other World. "Bra!" she heard someone cry out; she looked around for the voice, "Bra, over here!"

"Trunks!" Bra cried out as she saw her brother and a funny looking man running toward her. She ran to her brother and embraced him, "Trunks, I've missed you."

"We just got word you were here. Man, I wish you hadn't caught the virus, too. This changes things a lot. We'll have to rethink our plan now," Trunks said as he looked at Bra and then the man who was with him, "Especially if Goten joins us up here, too. Hopefully, he won't."

Bra looked at Trunks questioningly. "What are you talking about, Trunks? What plan? And why would Goten come here?" she asked him.

"Goten has the heart virus and Videl doesn't think he'll make it," Trunks replied, wrapping his arm around Bra and walking toward a secluded place; the man walking with them, "As far as the plan, it's something King Kai and I are coming up with."

"You're King Kai? I've heard about you from the Z Fighters," Bra said, looking at the man with them.

"Yes, I am. I know your friends quite well," King Kai replied as the three of them sat under a tree.

"Bra, what I'm about to tell you might not make a whole lot of sense, but just trust me," Trunks said and Bra nodded, "King Kai and I are making a plan because a new threat is about to attack the Z Fighters. The problem is, this threat can only be fought from the Other World."

Okay, okay, I'm sorry ducks a frying pan. I know, I just killed another character, but I promise it WILL all work out. Stay tuned for more.
