An End To No Hopes .......


Written By: cher101060





Future Trunks' world at the present time..........

An old Bulma glances out the window from her destroyed Capsule Corporation. It has been many years since her son Trunks had returned back to help the other Z fighters in the other timeline. When her son returned all the Z warriors still remained dead but he was at least strong enough to defeat the artificial humans.

Still Trunks had to face more new villains and with all the Z warriors dead he had to face them alone. Bulma grew very depressed in these last few years and was not really taking care of herself like she use to. If it wasn't one thing it was the other. Though they had quite a few years of peace after Trunks killed the artificial humans, the peace did not last long.

The earth had taken lot of damage and was very vulnerable to any intruders. Eventually the earth met up with aliens who wish to erase all human life and inhabit the earth for themselves. Right at this moment Trunks and a few slightly strong superhuman allies are the earth's last defense. Despite his increased strength and allied help, Trunks will not defeat them, there is just too much of them.

Bulma knows that this is finally the end, the end for her and this world. Yet not for her son, not for her only beloved son. She had fixed the time machine for one last destination. She knew her own time was drawing near. Yet their was still a bit of happiness in her heart when she thought of her son never having to return to this hopeless world.

Trunks soon arrived home. The ruins of the Capsule Corporation had become a hidden hideout for her and a few human survivors. Thanks to Bulma's holographic projector the house remained unseen to the alien's eyes. Even in her old age Bulma was still resourceful. Yet even Trunks had noticed she was getting older, weaker and most of all hopeless. Tonight the mighty warrior Trunks felt something glooming in the air, a strange essence. "Death".

Trunks went to his mother's little workshop where she usually would be, fixing something, but she was not there. Trunks knew the only other place she could be was the bedroom. Deep down inside he was hiding the truth from his own self. Denying the inevitable.

As he enters the dimly lit room he spots her laying on the bed with droopy eyelids and pale aface. His heart quickens at the sight of her, he can sense that something is very wrong. Still he shows no sign of panic as he calmly approaches her bedside."

Trunks: Mother why are you sleeping in the middle of the day? It's not like you.

Trunks sits himself on the side of her bed. His mother is still somewhat beautiful in her old age. He looks into her deep blue eyes and see the love beaming from her. She looks at him hard and she turns to face him directly.

Trunks: Is something wrong? What's the matter?

Bulma: Trunks you know.

Trunks: Know what, what is going on? Are you not feeling well? We'll get you some help if that is it. One of the human warriors , he's real good with medicine and*

Bulma: You know what's wrong so just stop it. Please don't let me use my dying breath scolding you."

Trunks: Nani! Dying no.... You can't be... I can get you help please let me help you...

Bulma: Trunks I am old not sick, even if you could get me help you will be just delaying the inevitable. Plus with this fighting and all I will be just a burden. Even with help I can't live beyond a year. Please let me go respect this..... please.

Trunks: You don't understand, if you leave me, this world will have no meaning. I need you ,you are all I know.. All I have.

Bulma: That is not true ...the other world... the time machine. I want you to join them go back but this time I want you to stay.

Trunks: I will not do no such thing. I am not leaving you. How could you ask me something like that ? I am not going anywhere not now not ever. This is our world we must defend it.

Bulma: You are truly your father's son stubborn to the core! When I die I will be already gone, you really won't be leaving me! Do you really want to spend your entire life fighting this hopeless war? A war you can't win? This world is lost so please go.....

She starts to wheeze and cough Trunks know that she is dying right before his very eyes.

Bulma: Cough, cough, this is for your father Vegeta, give this to him when you see him.

Trunks: Mother I love you, I can't just go and leave you half dead on the bed.. I love you so much. You have to know that.

Bulma: I love you too now please*****

Their conversation is cut short by an explosion. The lights in the entire Capsule Corporation goes off. With the shortage of power their holographic cover is blown. Now it's only a matter of seconds before they attack. Trunks calls out to his mother who is now dead...

Trunks: Mother, MOTHER!!!! OH GOD PLEASE NO.......

He cradles her now lifeless body and kisses her cheek and her hand. He then holds her hands to his face. His farewell is too cut short as he hears the screams of his friends from within Capsule Corporation. The intruders have wasted no time. They are already there. He takes one last look at his mother and holds the letter she had given him. He knows now that his mother was ultimately right. He quickly finds his way into the room , he sees the already charged time machine and wastes no time. It's as if she knew this was going to happen.

As he climbs in the he can hear explosions all around him, once activated he can even see his enemies shooting at him but luckily there shooting can't harm the capsule, he is already vanishing into thin air. The trip takes a few minutes, destination Capsule Corporation!!

The present we all know.....

Vegeta: Bulma will you stop fixing that dumb machine and feed me?

Bulma: Just wait I am almost done, and hey stop acting like your starving you had dinner. Greedy beast!!

Vegeta really isn't hungry and Bulma knows that is just Vegeta way of telling her he wants her company. He had a real tense feeling just moments ago, he felt as if something bad just happened to Bulma. Yet their she is right in front of his very eyes. Still he can't ignore that he just felt something was not too right and it is concerning her. That night a surprised Bulma is held very tightly by her sayin prince. He sees her expression and tells her just to go to sleep. Their slumber is not peaceful for at least Vegeta, because all of a sudden their is a huge power signal.

He gently creeps out the bed and floats silently to the window, he assumes this is the reason he felt the tension. He quickly locates the ki, he can see the person from the back and before he spots the face he knows who it is. As he sensed the power so did Son Goku.

Vegeta: Trunks? What the hell! Why are you here again, after all these years!!

Future Trunks: Hello father..

Vegeta is truly shocked and he never planned to see his son again, well at least not the one from the time machine! He looks at Trunks large muscular back and long hair that is almost to his waist. He can tell that he too has aged and is much older than the first time he time traveled. Chibi Trunks from our present time is the last to feel the unfamiliar ki. He was staying over for a while to train with his father. Chibbi Trunks is now married to Marron. Bra also doesn't live at home.

Chibi Trunks: Father who is that? Should I get ready to fight?

Vegeta: Power down.... He is you. The alternative other you have heard about.

Chibi Trunks: Why are you here?

Vegeta: I have just ask him that, let him finish.

Future Trunks: I can't talk about it right now, but father I do have something for you. It is from my mother Bulma, from the other world.

He hands the letter to his father and walks away, still to choked up to talk. He walks right into the capsule corporation as if this was the same exact place he had just left. Suddenly he draws his sword as he feels an enormous ki coming to him. He puts his weapon away once he relieved it was Goku. As Goku teleports in he is greets Trunks with a huge smile and a wave.

Goku: I knew it was you!! I recognized your force, but you have got much stronger! How are you?

Trunks: All is not well......

Meanwhile, Vegeta reads the letter that his son has given him

Vegeta I know that you don't truly know me but still I don' believe that it is impossible for you not to feel you don't know me at all. I still feel that some how you do. If you are reading these words that mean my son made it to your world and that I am dead. I died of old age and a broken heart. That is the only thing that could kill me with your son being the excellent warrior that he is, no other harm could of come my way!! Vegeta,he is such great warrior, I have seen him close in battle and many times touched my stomach and wondered how can something so powerful can come out of me. As the world became vulnerable new enemies arrived, we were still recovering from the damage of the artificial humans. They were aliens who didn't even give us their name. He put up a valiant fight but there was just too much, the more Trunks destroyed the more they came. For every one of them Trunks killed they killed a thousand of us. Still he never gave up no matter what. It was my dying request that he leave this hopeless world and never return. I want him to stay in your world for good. Please be good to him, he has had such a terrible life. He has lost all his friends, his family, and now his world. He has nothing but you now....

ChibiTrunks: What dose this letter say? Father is something wrong?

Vegeta simply hands him the letter for him to read himself. He walks in to the Capsule Corporation to find his son from this terrible future. Upon entering he sees Goku and Future Trunks sitting down in the living room.

Vegeta: Kakorott, what are you doing here?

Goku: I felt his force and knew who it was, I thought that it had to be something important for him to come back. I think something is wrong with him he won't talk much.

Vegeta: He came back from the other world because all hope is loss there. New enemies came Kakorott, and even Bulma passed away. Despite us being alive here, we seem to still remain dead in the other world.

Goku: You mean even though our world is not like that his is? That is terrible, and it's not fair!

Vegeta: Kakorott life is not fair!

Finally, in walks a sleepy Bulma who has got out of bed to see what her husband was up to. He was acting a little funny. As she see Vegeta she gets a shock. She spots future Trunks and she sees Chibi Trunks, they are both in the living room.Both men look exactly alike except future Trunks has very long purple hair and Chibi has a short hair cut. She walks in with her mouth open in total disbelief. Future Trunks is the first one to see her and he runs over to her.

Future Trunks: Nani, mother you are alive!! You are so young! I, I can't believe it!

He hugs his mother who is still in shock very tightly, though she is confused she hugs her son back.

Bulma: Why should I be dead? Oh, you mean my age? I was wished to stay youthful by your father. I would have been dead from age a long time ago.

FutureTrunks: In my world you died just moments ago. We did everything for you, but no matter your age still caught up with you. I didn't even get to give a proper burial. My world was on the brink of amargedden. I barely made it out moments after she died. I have been fighting them for years, they were just too much. She wanted me to come here, to stay. I wasn't going to come until I saw that if I did not leave it would mean my death also.

Chibbi Trunks: I am very sorry to hear that. You are welcomed here. I've heard about you. I was just a baby when you first met me. It's good to finally to see you. I hope you find some kind of peace here.

Future Trunks: Thank you.

Bulma: Yes, I second that you are most welcomed here. Now I have two handsome son's. Won't Bra be suprized.

Future Trunks: Who is Bra?

Chibi: My, I mean our sister!

Future Trunks: Wow a female sayain can she fight?

Vegeta: I think I am going to like you hear.

Goku: Great someone new to spar with.

Once more Trunks holds his mother. He notices how happy she looks. A sight which is rare because ever since Vegeta died she was mostly sad. Th others watched the long embrace in silence.Vegeta breaks the silence.

Vegeta: If you keep hugging my mate like that I might get jealous!

Bulma: Only you baka would envy your own son.

Vegeta: Trunks can I have a word with you?

As he says this both man called Trunks reply to their father.

Bulma: If you are going to stay here we have to make a slight diffrence in your names. How about calling the younger Trunks Junior?

Chibi Trunks: I am not that young ! Well alright, what ever. Only when he is around. Okay?

Bulma: So Vegeta who were you talking to?

Vegeta: Trunks.

Both Vegeta and future Trunks exit the room. Vegeta leads the way. They fly out in the sky and the rest of the journey is in silence. They travel far, untill they reach a thick woods area. Though it is not quite day you can still the beauty of the forest with the rising son.it is quit and peaceful. Future Trunks takes in the beautiful scenenary. Vegeta notices how his son is in awe.

Vegeta: I guess in your world, places like this was rare.

Trunks: No they were just nonexistant. Pollution and war took over the whole earth. I know this might seem strange but to me mother is still dead. I have failed her.

Trunks turns his back to his father as he feels tears coming out of his eyes. He is ashamed to cry in his father's presence. He can't hold back the tears, he had wanted to cry since he came here and them seeing Bulma alive again was just over whelming.

Vegeta: I am not the same man you left so long ago. I have change much. I want you to know that iam proud of you and that I have never forgotton you. You are a true sayain warrior. I am glad that is was you who was with her to the end.

Trunks: I loved her so much. She never gave her self much credit. She was quite the mother.

Vegeta gose to touch his son's turned back. He touches his shoulder and whispers to him that him and his mother have a bond. He even told Trunks that he felt tension around the sama time that Bulma might of died in the othet world. As if he sensed his mate's passing ih the other world. He then takes a deep breath and tell Trunks that he loves his mother,also telling Trunks to find peace here, because he would never let no harm come to his mate not even old age.

A shocked Trunks turns around to face his father with tears on his face. Trunks is speechless and happy that his father has changed that much. Still the pain of the past is thier.

Vegeta:Do not feel ashamed, I have not been beyond tears at at a time

Trunks: You are really trying to reach out to me, I appreciate that. Thank you father.

Vegeta: You said your mother did not receive a decent burial.

Trunks: Yes, there wasn't enough time for that. Well lets give her one here.

Vegeta:We can bury this letter as a symbol of her love and determination. For ever caught on paper.

Trunks knods yes to the gesture. Knowing that keepig the letter would never allow him to let go. Vegeta walks over to the woods and picks a beautiful spot beside a stream. With just a glance at the ground Vegeta has opened up the earth . Vegeta passes the letter to Trunks who kisses it. They both cover it with dirt. They palce few wild flowers on top. Vegeta tells Trunks who is still lightly weeping to come next to him. He embraces his son. He looks up atthe sky and whispers ‘Bulma your dying request has ben fufilled. Your son, our son will always have home here. Vegeta tells Trunks to come here whenever he feels the need to talk to his mother .

Finally Trunks finds peace in this world.
