Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Split Persona ❯ Chapter 13 ( Chapter 13 )

********************************************************

Trunks slowly walked to the clearing where the minlith stood. Menacingly he watched Trunks approach him, and formed a plan in his dark mind. He would kill Trunks, take Pan as his own, and mark her. Once he had his heir, she could either be killed or become his plaything. Both choices would suit him.

Trunks stopped about 10 feet from the minlith. He looked at him, and got ready to fight. The minlith laughed.

"Do you honestly believe that you can defeat me? Ha! I am the one who gave you your power in the beginning! I am the reason you were strong. But now that we have split apart, you are weak. Your split persona is gone. You are now alone. You will be even more alone when your mate becomes mine."

At the mention of Pan, Trunks eyes flashed turquoise for a split second, but then went back to his beautiful blue.

"I have already mated with Pan. You can not have her."

Evil Trunks laughed wickedly at Trunks' stupidity.

"Let me explain this to you: even though you have `bonded', I can break that bond. You are obviously forgetting that I am not a normal person. I can do whatever I want, with my evil power. I will bond with her, and she cannot stop me. She can bear my heir, and then all I have to do is either kill her slowly and painfully, or fuck her until she bleeds to death."

Trunks let out a scream or pure hatred and transformed into SSJ 2. Evil Trunks was slightly amused at his power increase, but that wasn't enough to scare him.

Meanwhile, Gohan and Goten landed at the scene. Gohan looked around and noticed Pan lying there.

"Panny!"

Gohan rushed over, with Goten close behind him.

"Panny! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"

"Pan… where's Trunks?"

Pan took a shaky breath.

"Dad, the minlith, Evil Trunks, did this to me. Goten, Trunks is over in the clearing."

Gohan caught a glimpse of Trunks poised to fight.

`That boy has no chance.'

Goten pulled on Gohan's gi, and pointed over to where Vegeta and Goku were standing. They both said good-bye to Pan, and told her to try and get some sleep. They walked over to join Goku and Vegeta.

"Hey dad, Vegeta. Pan seems to be fine. What's going on?"

Goku let out a deep sigh and looked at Vegeta.

"Trunks is about to fight the minlith. We cannot intervene, although there is a chance that Trunks may die."

Vegeta cleared his throat.

"I will NOT let that… spirit kill my son!!!"

They all looked at Vegeta in surprise.

Vegeta took the opportunity to continue.

"The minlith has power levels beyond any foe that we have fought… Buu, Cell, or Freeza. It would take a power beyond reckoning to destroy this creature."

They all stood and watched the fight scene unfold at their eyes.

Trunks and Evil Trunks were circling the outside of the clearing, steadily moving closer and closer to each other. Evil Trunks suddenly let out a piercing roar, and his skin turned black. His eyes burned out, then light up as a blood red. A red aura surrounded him, and his hair was SSJ style, but red.

Trunks gasped, but then he smiled. He powered up, the swooped in suddenly to snatch a punch. His fist rammed neatly into the side of Evil Trunks' head, pushing him a few feet back. Evil Trunks looked up and glared.

`The little boy has some spunk. Well, no matter. This will all be over with soon.'

Evil Trunks rushed into action. Trunks put his arms up to try and block the fury of punches that were aimed at his head. Evil Trunks switched hitting styles in seconds, and started hitting him in the stomach. Trunks was not lucky enough to be able to defend, and in seconds he was on the ground in agony, spitting up blood.

Trunks wiped his blood off of the corner of his mouth, and jumped up. He let out a scream of fury and powered up. He charged Evil Trunks, kicking his legs out from beneath him, and kicking up into his stomach.

Evil Trunks moaned, and rolled over. He gasped for air, just in time to block the low kick that was aimed at his head.

Evil Trunks took hold up Trunks' foot, and twisted it. Trunks screamed, and used his other leg to kick Evil Trunks' hand. A snap could be heard where Trunks' foot connected. Evil Trunks quickly let go, and looked at his broken fingers. He smirked, and then formed a red ki blast.

He let it go, aiming for Trunks' head. Trunks snapped his head away just in time to see some of his hair get singed. He hesitated too long. Evil Trunks was on him again, this time giving him a ki blast through his leg.

Trunks screamed, and jumped back. His knees buckled, and he held his leg to try and stop the blood. His breathing was ragged, and he had bloody scratches all over his body. Evil Trunks, however, looked as though he was just getting started.

"Trunks… don't tell me your tired already. I am just having fun…"

With that, Evil Trunk's eyes glowed a bloody maroon.

"Let me show you my little trick."

Trunks felt those eyes roaming his body. They stopped on his heart. Evil Trunks held up his fist, and began to pulse it.

Trunks let out a scream that caused everyone to look at him in shock. Trunks had a look of pure pain on his face. Something was happening in his body. He could feel his heart being squeezed to death. His breathing cut out, and blood seeped out of a wound in his chest.

Trunks let out another shrill scream.

Vegeta was watching this with a faraway look of pain and worry on his face. Without warning, Vegeta tried to jump in the fight.

Goku saw this, and he stepped in front of Vegeta, and pushed him back.

"NO! Kakarot let me go! I must help!"

"Vegeta! You said yourself that Trunks must fight this battle. We can not intervene."

Vegeta let out an exasperated growl, and stopped trying to beat down Goku's face. Everyone else turned his attention back to the bloody battle.

Trunks was prepared to die, to feel the darkness take him, when Evil Trunks released his grip on his heart. Trunks felt his body return to normal, but he was in so much pain. Most of his energy was spent.

Evil Trunks laughed gallantly as Trunks pulled himself up.

"Trunks… you and I both know that you will not be able to win this fight. Look at your `mate' over there. She knows. She realizes. Why can't you?"

Trunks' gaze left Evil Trunks and traveled to where Pan was lying. Her eyes were open, and by the look on her face, Trunks knew that she was bearing his pain like he was bearing hers.

Trunks formed an idea in his mind. He turned away from the laughing minlith, and limped over to Pan.

The minlith silenced his laughter and tried to read Trunks' thoughts as he retreated.

`Hmmm… Trunks knows now that he will not make it. How cute… he wants to say good-bye. I guess I'll let him. I know that it will torture him all the more.'

Trunks collapsed on the ground next to Pan. He weakly lifted her chin so he could kiss her fully.

"Pan… I am going to die. I will self-destruct in my last attempt to save you."

Tears flowed freely down Pan's face.

"No! Trunks don't. There must be another way…"

Trunks looked at Pans face, wondering why he had never confessed his feelings to her sooner.

"Pan… I love you."

With that, Trunks kissed Pan for all he was worth.

The gang that was watching was full of sadness. They had heard the conversation, and they knew what Trunks was going to do. They knew that if Trunks failed, they would have to try and save Pan. For his memory.

Suddenly, a bright white light surrounded the two kissing figures. They did not stop kissing as it consumed them.

Goku let out a gasp of shock, and they all crept closer to see what was happening.

The light disappeared, and 1 tall, graceful figure stood where a beaten and bloody Trunks and Pan were.

Vegeta took one look, and laughed in triumph.

"Ha! They have become a master warrior!"
