There's the moon asking to stay Long enough for the clouds to fly me away Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die My fading voice sings of love, But she cries to the clicking of time Oh, time, Wait in the fire... And she weeps on my arm Walking to the bright lights in sorrow Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow Oh my love... And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire And I feel them drown my name So easy to know and forget with this kiss I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
The princes both stood rigidly in the giant Capsule Corp garden, Bulma was as always hidden somewhere deep in the Capsule Corp dome working on some invention. Gohan seemed to materialize out of nowhere as he hit Vegeta square in his jaw. Off course he had seen it coming but as always he acted on his pride ignoring the common sense to duck. With a thud he smacked into a wall. Slowly he rose up from the freshly created ditch. He spat ‘ what is it that you want Brat of Kakarott? ’ The prince got his answer as Gohan slammed him trough the wall. After Vegeta arose for the second time. A deadly calmness hung around Gohan as he walked over to Vegeta and whispered in his ear ‘ Your hatred and ignorance cost my daughter’s life and for that you will die’ he turned around and stalked away. Before he blasted of he gave the short man one last glance and added ‘ By your own hand, I am not wasting my energy for the likes of you’ As soon as Gohan disappeared Vegeta grunted and dropped to his knees, for years he had been jealous at Goku’s strength when the Brat had possessed the true power to be envious of. After a couple of minutes he managed to gather enough strength to stagger back inside. During this entire little display Trunks’s face remained expressionless as he watched his father smash into the ground by the sheer force of Gohan’s blows. When he saw Father stagger inside he turned around and decided to pay Goten a visit.
‘ I know you would love it here. It was the place I was going to show you as soon as I found you again. Now I will show it, I hope this pleases you’ Gently she lay the body down at the bedding of a small pond. A willow guarded the shallow waters. It seemed the perfect place to say goodbye. Digging with her bare hands a grave at the foot of the three came into existence. To a stranger it looked like Bra acted like she was digging a grave for some pet but one who would take a closer look could see the dying look in her eyes, the soft gentleness with she carved a coffin out of an oak three from the place where they truly met for the first time. Before she allowed herself to breakdown she carved something in the tree she had just buried a part of her own soul under.
In this place of Love and Peace A beautiful soul rests. The only love of my Life. Here rests the true queen of Vegetasei and my heart and soul. Goodbye my love may I see your eyes in heaven once more.
Goodbye Son Pan Kakarot
Surprising himself he burst into SSJ as he blasted of from Capsule Corporation. Al his life he tried to be the emotionless, proud prince his father desired him to be. He hated himself for it, he hated the fact that his foolish pride and ignorance had cost a woman he regarded as his younger sister. Suddenly he was overthrown by a horrible sense of dread, with a loud thud he crashed into the forest. One of the rare occasions his father was talkative about sayjin heritage he was told that sayjins held the gift of premonitions and a limited amount of psychic abilities. The vision that made him become one with the ground was hardly limited. Trunks had gotten a first row view of feelings and the overwhelming grief the princes were experiencing. An enormous headache came on as he flew out of the hole towards the diminishing life spirit.
Bra sat kneeled at the gravesite, silent tears rolled to the ground. The early morning sun illuminated the sadness in her eyes, the small frame curled up at the foot of the three. A large hand softly landed on her shoulder. ‘ I’m so sorry Bra I never wanted this to happen, please believe me Sis’ I am so sorry’ the purple haired man chocked it out between his tears. His sister hugged her brother tightly crying onto his shoulder. They remained in this position until Bra told her brother what he had already felt. ‘He Toran I have to go and see Pan you know? Tell mother I love you all and that we will wait for you’ ‘ I know Bra-Chan I promise please remember that I love you’ To Trunks it seemed like some scene from a bad drama movie. As soon as she has spoken her final words the spirit left her. He gently closed her eyes and let out a heart-wrenching howl. Deep down in the Capsule corporation med lab Vegeta felt his daughter leave this world, only now Gohan’s words held true meaning to him. Cold water ran over his face, confused he walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Crying he was crying? Bulma waltzed into the bathroom nagging that even the great prince of egos should be in the med lab. Towels cluttered to the floor as she saw his tears. Whispering she asked ‘ O no she died didn’t she’ Bulma just howled and in a rage and grief induced strength she started scratching and banging on his chest. Vegeta remained silent and put his arms around his wife. The woman buried herself in his arms sobbing ‘ Why you bastard Why?’ The cold heart started to crumble and ache under the accusing silence of the only love of his life.
‘ Silence, so goddamned silent. Do you enjoy this Kami ?I think you do…..Why?….. Panny is dead….Why couldn’t you just take my life…. Why ?………. It shouldn’t end this way..’ ‘GOHAN talk to me come on, say something….at least look at or make move, anything but this..’ Goten tugged t his brother with growing panic in his movements. He never experienced a real outburst but he heard the stories of Gohan enraged, of the pure power that went beyond control. Needless to say he trusted his brother with more then just his life, he did not trust his brother’s reaction to the death of his only child. ‘ They’re gone Goten, it really ends here……’ ‘I know I know……………..’ Before they really allowed themselves to grief the sayjins flew of to say their last farewells.
Toran silently dug a new grave next to the still fresh one. Just as he finished the new engraving in the three, the two other half alien men arrived at the scene. He did not notice them until Gohan laid a hand on his shoulder and read out loud what Toran engraved.
A true warrior found her last resting place In these woods filled with freedom The last princess of Vegetasei. May your love be united in heaven
Bra Briefs Vegeta
‘ Thank you Trunks’ ‘ everything ends here doesn’t it Gohan? ’ ‘I know……’
Three men stood rigidly with their eyes resting on the young graves, Slowly the sun pulled its rays away from them. Darkness engulfed their bodies as well as their souls.
