So some review replies:
Fan-to-fiction: aw what a shock it shall be!
I-Love-Trunks1: Well you will have to just sit back and watch!
Chapter 18
"What do you mean he left last night," shouted May. She was very happy to see Mary, in fact they all where, they had attacked the poor girl with hugs and kisses and 'we were so worried' and 'please don't disappear like that on' and 'you scared the death out of us', but the agreement was they would leave things be and if Mirai comes back he will come back, not lets all go to bed like a bunch of idiots and Vegeta would save the day! (that is a really long sentence!)
"So what do we do," asked Gismo. Everyone looked at him with the same funny look. They all had a big grin on their faces and started walking toward him, like lions trying to sweet talk a sheep into trusting them. Gismo started backing up. "No," he said, "no way. Vegeta will be so made if we did that. There is just no way in Hell! Think of another idea!"
…………………………
Mirai Vegeta landed in the middle of no where. He could feel several strong ki's gathered in one place so he figured that was the direction to go. He powered up and rushed to the spot. When he landed, what he saw astounded him. In a small circle was himself, his son, Freeza, and Cell all sitting around a giant bag of Doritos. He started stepping forward when Trunks came forward squealing "DADDY" and latched himself to Vegeta's waist. On the ground, standing on his knees, was his son squirting crocodile tears. Vegeta looked down at him in shock, there was something different about him, very different.
"They where mean to me," he whined, looking up every once in a while to make sure his father was pitying him, "they said mean stuff. They said I can't stick around anymore because I'm a danger, now I'm upset and I wanna go home!" He rambled on about all the horrible stuff everyone was doing to him but Vegeta wasn't really listening. He was more focused on the gawking group before him. His attention shot back to Trunks when he whined even louder.
"For god's sake get your ass up and off of me! Good lord, how old are you anyway!" Mirai Trunks shot back from the sudden burst of anger then folded his arms across his chest as he sat on the ground and pouted a bit. Mirai Vegeta just rolled his eyes. "Does someone mind explaining to me what is going on? Trunks, there is something really different about you but I can't seem to figure it out." He came face to face with his son and squinted his eyes in a suspicious sort of way. Then he noticed it. The eye that was once a vibrant green was now the same azure blue that the other was. Vegeta moved his head back up and felt for a ki.
There it was, as if it had never died away, powerful and alive. He then looked over at the rest of the group in shock. Freeza had a halo sitting atop of his head, he was still technically dead, and Cell, he had never seen Cell's perfect form before. Vegeta had destroyed the monster before he could perfect himself. What was he doing sitting with them eating chips?
"Dad!" Shouted Trunks. Vegeta was shaken from his daze. His head shot back toward Mirai and glared at him.
"What have you done," he asked in a low hissing noise. Mirai scooted back a few inches. Trunks was caught and he knew it, somehow he was responsible for this and that little gesture was a dead give away, how he did it Vegeta didn't know but he intended on finding out.
"Can we go home and I will explain it there," suggested Trunks. Mirai Vegeta just shook his head. Trunks took a deep breath, there was no way out of this one. "I died about 10 years ago and Cell, Freeza, and the others bullied me into coming here."
"Bully you," shouted Cell and Freeza at the same time.
"Shit, you where the one who followed us, you where the one who told the others about what you found out," shouted Freeza, "we didn't BULLY you into anything! You are the reason we are all here in the first place!"
"Yea, that and you are the one who's stupid idea it was to get those damned dragonballs to wish everything right, so you are the reason we are all out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but two time machines and a bag of Doritos!"
"But, the Doritos where a good idea," argued Trunks.
"It was a good wish," said Freeza silently.
"Yea, it was a good wish," agreed Vegeta taking out another chip. Mirai Vegeta put his hand on his forehead, great, now he was getting alone with Freeza of all people!
"What wish," asked Mirai Vegeta.
"Well," said Cell, wiping orange stuff off of his fingers, "Mirai had this idea, why don't we wish to go back and stop me from killing him. I suggested the time machine but Trunks reminded me that it would have no affect on this time. So we searched for the dragonballs. Well after the big dragon asked what we wanted Mirai asked to be mortal again and I wished Freeza back and then we wished for these chips. Well we were going to fight and all but then we decided to eat the chips first and then Vegeta showed up and he was going to fight until he saw that we had chips and now you are here."
Mirai Vegeta shook his head, he was still at a lose of what was going on. He kneeled down to his sons current level and looked him strait in the eyes. Mirai could not look away, he was mesmerized and terrified at the same time.
"Are you really a mortal now," he asked slowly. Mirai just slowly nodded his head. "All we had to do this whole time was ask the dragon for mortality and he would give it to us?" Trunks again nodded his head. "Why had you not thought of that years ago when this first happened."
"Why hadn't you thought of it," asked Trunks never moving his eyes. A smile crept up on his face and Mirai Vegeta was half tempted to punch him square in the mouth. He fought the urge and stood up. "Freeza, Cell, I'm going to kill you both, then I'm taking my son and going home. From what he was told me he has had quite enough of all of you here." Vegeta glared at his future counter part and had his arms crossed over his chest and his feet apart in his classic way.
"Take him back," said Vegeta, "but do not think we are the ones to blame because of the misery going on here. He needs to go home because he can't survive here."
Mirai Vegeta stared at his past self a long moment with no emotion on his face. "Yea," he said nodding, "I thought that might be the case."
"I'll kill you Vegeta," shouted Freeza, "then I'll kill your brat who killed me!"
"No," shouted Cell. All attention turned to him, "kill Vegeta for all I care, but you will not harm Trunks." Cell felt he was being rather reasonable. It was funny to fuck with him before because he could take it. He was mentally insane and probably got kicks off of having his head messed with every once in a while, but now, now he was mortal, he was sane, and for some odd reason Cell did not want him to be anymore ruined then he was now.
"What are you talking about,' shouted Freeza, "don't tell you me actually like that bloodsucking maniac!"
"And if I do," asked Cell dangerously. Freeza smiled at Trunks then shot him with an energy blast. It happened so quick Mirai's mortal eyes which had not been used in a very long time did not detected it. It shot him right in the gut and he fell forward. He lay on the ground watching his own blood run. Man he thought not again! His eyes slowly shut.
Holy shit thought Mirai Vegeta Cell shot him and he died! No way in hell am I going to be a mortal again! Fuck that shit!
I saw that coming thought Vegeta. Mirai Vegeta turned to look at Freeza who was laughing like a maniac and then at Cell who looked shocked and at a loss for words. Cell felt himself all alone with nothing but the corpse of a dead friend in his presents. It was the most alone he had ever felt. His friend, his only friend had just died before him. Cell slowly turned to the laughing lizard and shot him with a ki blast almost completely destroying him. All eyes where on the two now. Vegeta was in shock and stared. Cell actually killed his partener for killing Trunks. It was amazing, he never thought he would see the day something like that happened, suddenly Vegeta felt a pang of guilt. He had been trying to figure out why it was the two stuck together, but now he understood that they had become rather close in a short time. Mirai Vegeta was the one who finished off Freeza. Vegeta was still off in his own world. Suddenly Vegeta heard a sudden gasp.
They all turend around and saw Mirai was breathing, barely, but still. Vegeta picked the kid up and raced to CC. Mirai Vegeta and Cell quickly followed. When they landed Vegeta rushed to the emergency room and handed his future son over to the doctors.
The three waited anxiously. The others had gathered noticing the large energies and then getting a phone call from Bulma telling what happened.
……………………….
The vampires all crawled out of the time machine in the back of CC. Mary, Marianna, and Gismo where not quite as quick as May, Matin, Nikkei, and Jezebel. The other three where just not down with the idea of doing exactly what Vegeta told them not to do. They had all at one point or another witnessed first had the fury of the primogen/saiyan prince, and it was not really a happy experience.
"He is going to be so pissed," said Gismo.
"Oh, I know, he is angry, and frustrated but he is also a little crazy, lets go," said Jezebel. They walked down the yard but stopped immediately when they saw Vegeta walking down the yard into CC followed by Cell and himself. They looked on curiously. They followed them inside staying a close distance behind.
All the way to what looked to be a hospital, they crept behind walls, and snuck up stairwells. They used their vampire ability to stay clocked from his radar. It was surprisingly hard to stay hidden from him, even without a ki. They slowly walked forward to peak into the room when they saw several people running around Trunks for what looked to be a surgery prep. Mirai Vegeta's eyes snapped in their direction. They walked back quickly and quietly hoping Vegeta did not see them. Too late, the saiyan was standing before them with an angry look.
"Waiting room, now," he barked. The small troop turned to leave for the waiting room. They sat in the many chairs in the room in silence. Soon Vegeta, Vegeta, and Cell walked out of the room and the door closed. Their Vegeta rounded on them.
"What did I say," he snapped, "I said for you to stay away!"
"No," said Nikkei standing up to the ferocious saiyan, "you said we should not interfier. You said he would find it as an insult and here you are doing exactly what you said we wouldn't do!" Mirai Vegeta got up in the girls face.
"What I do is non of your business. I told you to stay in our time line. Did I not!?"
"Yea well-"
"DID.!" Nikkei gave a huge sigh. "So tell me what you all think you are doing here!?"
"We wanted to help," said Matin from his chair not looking up, "what happened to Trunks." Vegeta's eyes never left Nikkei's.
"Trunks got hurt," he said slowly. Nikkei did not make any move to back down and neither did Vegeta.
'How did that happen," she asked him under her breath. Vegeta took a step forward causing her to move back and trip into a chair. Vegeta came down to her level with his hands gripping the arm chairs almost breaking them in half.
"He wished himself mortal and Freeza killed him." Vegeta spoke between clenched teeth. It was all present time Vegeta and Cell could do not to run to the girls safety. Neither of them cared much about her but they could tell that this Vegeta was not angry at the fact that they got in the way, he was angry that they intentionally almost put themselves into some serious danger. They where really only 10 minutes away from the fight with Freeza. It was uneventful but obviously it was a dangerous enough encounter that Trunks got hurt really bad.
"How bad was he hurt," said Nikkei, looking up at the one man that scared her most. Mirai Vegeta was silent for a long moment.
"How bad do you think," he said now standing up strait, "He's in a fucking emergency room! How bad do you fucking thing he is hurt!?"
"How did he become mortal," she asked. She was scared she was starting to go to far. She felt fear spread across the back of her mind.
"I'm not telling," said Vegeta leaning closer to her once again. She desperately tried to fight back tears.
"Tell me," she said in a shaky voice. Vegeta just shook his head and walked to the other side of the room. He turned around and looked at them. "Go home, all of you! I will be back as soon as I can get Trunks out of this hospital."
"No way," said Jezebel now standing up, "we aren't leaving without him!" Vegeta looked at her. He let go a heavy sigh. You couldn't make Jezebel do anything she didn't want to. He could probably scare the others back home but not her. "Fine," he said behind clenched teeth, "but when we get back the first thing we are doing is making Trunks into a vampire again. Jezebel you will get Azia to turn him again. Matin, Gismo, and May, starting working on a way to get us all back to our own time line. I imagine all three time machines need to be recharged. Mary, Mary, Marianna, you three make sure he is taken care of while he is here. I don't need some nosy ass nurse poking on him all the damn time. Nikkei, just do me a favor and get lost for a while!" Nikkei glared up at him but turned around and stormed out. She slammed the door behind her. Mirai Vegeta looked around at the others. "What are you waiting on, get to it!" They scampered around to do what it was they where set to do.
While Trunks was in surgery, King, Vegeta, and Nappa kept assuring Bulma that it was not her fault. Bardock, Goku, and Radditz did the same for Chichi. Chibi Trunks, Cell, and Chibi Goten sat in the room in silence in hopes that Trunks would be okay. Mirai Vegeta paced the room restlessly, and Nikkei sat on the roof thinking to herself.
Minutes seemed to go by like hours. Finally after well over an hour the doctor walked out of the room. Everyone turned their attention to him. He gave them a weary smile.
"It took a lot of work but he will be okay." The sound of relief filled the room. "He will need to rest for a bit, start off eating soft foods, he can eat solid foods soon but please not to soon. We will let you know when he wakes up then you can go visit him. He is on a morphine drip so he will barely be aware of what is going on and I doubt that he will really care, but it will still be a good idea to visit him."
The doctor left the room. "Oh, Chichi," said Bulma behind tears, "he is okay!" The two women put their arms around each other and started hugging one another sobbing on each other with joy.
Chibi Trunks and Goten both cheered and laughed with joy. Mirai Vegeta left the room to let the others know that he was okay.
…………………………………….
Mirai Trunks woke up from his slumber to see Nikkei sitting next to him. "Hey," she said.
"Hey," he responded with a smile, "what are you doing here." It almost broke Nikkei's heart at how slowly he spoke.
"Are you okay," she asked.
"I'm good, I got this nice morphine drip goin in my arm all the time, can't feel a thing." He had a lazy smile on his face.
"That's good," she responded. The door opened and Mirai Vegeta walked in. He and Nikkei looked at each other then looked away. Trunks was heavily drugged but got a hint of aggression between the two.
"Hey, guys, what's wrong. What are you even doing here?"
"Nothing," said Mirai Vegeta, "I came back here to bring you home. The others sort of followed me after I got you here."
"Oh yea, I remember that, I got shot right here in the gut,' said Trunks pointing at the part of his belly that had a whole in it.
"You sure did," said Vegeta chuckling a bit, "took one hell of a hit there."
"Dad," he said, "when we get back home, can we get a hold of Azia. I don't think I can live as a mortal anymore. It's to much work."
"Too much work? You have only been mortal for a short while, not even a whole day."
"Yea, I know, but I don't like it so far," he said smiling.
"Well, lucky you, that is exactly what we plan to do when we get back."
