Lol actually, after this installment, you might want to hold that thought, Wolf mate...
Some nice twists here, and a lovely note to end on lol.
Installment seven...
"Ahhh, hello dear!" Bunni Briefs called to Trunks, who was flying towards them at an almost supersonic speed. He crashed through the hole in the bedroom wall, and stared around, searching for traces or clues of his mother and the manner in which she had died... he wasn't sure why he wanted to know, but he knew it'd haunt him until he discovered it...
Trunks was suddenly thankful that his grandparents had no Saiyan blood, for what the teen could sense sent slivers of ice directly down his spinal cord...
Yes... she'd died in this room alright... and the ******* his father was battling had done it, blasted her into oblivion... if he could do this to her, what could he do to Bura...?
Anger began to bubble within the demi Saiyan, the like of which he had never experienced before... he had to get the hell out of here, before he destroyed the place in a towering rage... but first...
"Grandma, where's Bura?" He asked urgently, sincerely hoping for a positive answer... he'd tear that son of a ***** limb from limb if he'd hurt her... if he got a chance after his father was done with him...
"Bura? Oh, she flew out that way about an hour ago," his grandmother replied matter-of-factly, beaming her trademark smile at her daughter's son and pointing through the smashed wall with her perfectly taloned hand.
"WHAT?!" Trunks yelled, looking towards his grandfather for reassurance, who merely nodded in response.
"Trunks-she's dead, isn't she?" The scientist murmured, staring at his child's bed, surveying the hole that had been blasted directly through it almost agonisingly. To Trunks' astonishment, his grandmother sighed almost sychophantically.
"We've been through this, Boxer dear," the woman said tiredly, fiddling slightly with her hairnet. "Bulma's fine... she's very resilient, you know."
Boxer Briefs, however, completely ignored his wife, and stared, almost in despair, at his grandson, who shot him a reassuring look.
"Yes... she's gone," he told them gently as possible, to which they both gasped.
"How?" The female enquired softly, hugging her husband as they both began to weep inaudibly.
"I'm not sure," the teen lied; he really didn't want them knowing that someone had incinerated her callously... he was finding it difficult to deal with alone, besides watching them suffer too...
He sat on the edge of the virtually disintegrated bed, thinking it all through, before his senses were grabbed by something that couldn't possibly be real...
Bura had been in this room... all around him were remnants of his sister's energy. Yes, there was Remzu's too... but not so much of that... but then, that could mean only one thing...
"NO!" He yelled aloud, his fist pummelling the remaining section of the bed, which crumbled under his Super Saiyan strength. "THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE!"
"Trunks?" His grandparents asked simultaneously, staring at him in concern.
"No, she wouldn't... she COULDN'T..." the teenager tried to reason furiously, but arguing with what generations of heritage had given him was futile...
His sister had killed his mother, that was the sickening and disgusting fact of it all... which was why she wasn't here right now, and which was why... hold on, wait-so where did that leave Remzu in all of this? And, more importantly, WHY had Bura murdered her own mum, and what the hell was his father going to say when he found out? Trunks didn't even want to consider the latter query...
So, was Vegeta murdering an innocent man?
*No... there MUST be something I'm missing here,* he shrieked at himself in self-torment, anguish flooding his being and drowning his hope. *There HAS to be a reason... I refuse to believe Bura just killed our mum, she thinks the world of her... this must have something to do with Remzu...*
Trunks glanced behind him, and through the smashed building and at the sky outside, still dark and dreary... serious pathetic fallacy there, he noted dully... Bura had flown out of that hole, after murdering their mother, and the Galen had also been here... at the same time, perhaps? Maybe Bura had been forced to kill Bulma... perhaps he has some sort of mental-
And with that word, the truth smacked into Trunks like an arrow shot from an professional archer's well-worn bow...
Bura had indeed been made to commit such a brutal act against her mother... because she'd been possessed at the time, as he witnessed his father become, but she apparently hadn't been strong enough to fight Remzu off, as Vegeta had had tremendous difficulty in doing...
"So THAT'S where he went," Trunks whispered, much to the bewilderment of Bunni and Boxer Briefs, who hadn't an inkling of what their grandson had just figured out.
But then, if Bura's will had been stolen, why hadn't he sensed her energy when he killed Bulma? And more to the point, where was she now?
"Oh Kami... no, don't tell me-"
Remzu hadn't left Bura at all... he was still inside her, and he was suppressing her ki... but that meant...
"DAD!" Trunks bellowed, shooting up and flying directly out of the hole without a glance backwards or a concern as to how rude his grandparents would consider him...
The Super Saiyan teenager was, however, promptly knocked by shockwaves that coursed over himself and the city, felling all that they smashed into, including buildings... inspired by the desire to protect his grandparents, and the need to get his father's attention, Trunks drew his hands back into the move that he now knew had killed his mother, in order to disperse the waves of destructive energy...
"KAME-HA-ME-HA!!!" He shouted, feeling the energy flow through him as he fought against surge after surge of the agonised ki that washed over him and the industrialised estate, that was now quickly becoming a pile of debris...
Trunks felt his father's powerful shockwaves fading with a breath of relief, powering down slightly so as not to aggravate any more of the city or its inhabitants, until his kamehaha wave overpowered them, and he withdrew his own ki rapidly so as to not totally destroy his hometown.
"Father," he whispered in awe, not quite believing what he could now feel...
***
On the battlefield, meanwhile, and much to the shock of the now rather battered Remzu and Bura, Vegeta had... matured slightly, for want of a better term...
The Saiyan's hair was now a searing flame of deep gold that dropped past his virtually shredded boots, his eyes were an iced, savage shade of teal, and he was positively dripping with rage...
::Whoa,:: his daughter commented telepathically, stunned at his ki, which was currently off the charts. ::Could that be what Trunks was telling me about?::
"Now," Vegeta whispered menancingly, a stray tear caressing his cheek and icy abhorrence flowing through his tone, "I fight for my wife."
***
"NO WAY!" Goku cried, still perched atop the look, getting all the facts clear in his mind before racing off to stop the Prince from inadvertantly killing his own daughter, a mission that was probably going to wind up with his own death, if his senses weren't playing tricks on him...
"Kami, he's... he's-ascended," Goku murmured in awe, bursting directly into Ascended Saiyan himself... there was no time to power up to the third level, and he sincerely hoped that it'd be enough to eradicate Vegeta's doubtlessly titanic power...
***
"Now now, Vegeta, let's not get hasty here," Remzu began, now petrified of Vegetasei's Prince, who, Bura, and consequently the Galen, could feel was powering up a massive energy blast, the like of which would destroy not only the daunted duet, but half the planet too...
"**** off," Vegeta shot at him, his ki beginning to take shape, his fury fuelling its power supply... "You made this personal, you *******, and now... now you're going to find out why you shouldn't hurt my family."
The frightening ball of electric blue power now fully formed, Vegeta threw his creation at Remzu and his daughter, who both screamed as they waited for their ends...
^^^^ Man, I am so evil, leaving it just there. =D So, will Goku or Trunks save Bura, possibly at the expense of themselves... or will Vegeta succeed in destroying not only his wife's killer, but his own daughter as well? Have a guess, and tell me your theories!
