Through Saiyan Eyes

Part 2

The Anniversary Of My Death

I still remember the feeling of death. It hurts. All the beating I'd been through in my life. At the hands of the androids, being hit by my father when I was trying to stop Cell from getting Juuhachi-gou. Nothing compared to this. Whenever the androids would beat me, my body would go into shock, so it hurt, but the pain was less than what it really should.

Shock is a very weird thing. Your body is in pain but it doesn't hurt that much. It hurts when you first get hurt, but then your body goes into shock. I always marvel at how…how…surprising the body is.

At moments of high pain your body goes into shock and you can feel the pain, but not as bad. It allows your body to get to a safe place before you start experiencing the pain. Adrenaline is also very surprising. You get into a situation where your senses are heightened and adrenaline is pumping throughout your veins. So much that you can defend yourself should you be attacked.

I experienced Adrenaline and Shock when Cell had killed me. I was still in shock (the emotional shock, not physical) when Cell came back to life. I knew that only Gohan had the power to defeat this monster. But my body was still prepared in case we had to defend ourselves. I felt his energy and Adrenaline started pumping throughout my body. I could feel my muscles tensing, needing the excess energy to be released.

The pain of the energy bean slicing through my body, taking part of my heart with it hurt like HFIL. I never thought in my wildest dreams that something could hurt so much. The beam went straight through my armor, obliterating it along with my flesh. You know how fire hurts, making your nerves burn. Well, this didn't burn my skin.

This INCINERATED my skin. It didn't break my bones; it made them a fine powder. Now THAT is pain. The pain of death is the worst thing that anyone can imagine. Now, luckily not a lot of living people can say that they've died. Jeeze…I'm the only person on this entire planet that can say I've seen the pearly white gates.

And you know what, death SUCKS. Really bad. Not a vacation I would plan it I were you. Save your time and money, got to Disney land for goodness sakes. Now, you see, I'm not really afraid of death, yet it's the only thing I truly fear. Are you getting this? Let me take a moment to explain. I only fear death if it comes to early, or if it doesn't come at all. I'm completely fine with death if it comes to me when I'm an old man and sleeping in my bed. But I don't want death to come early, and I'm completely terrified if it doesn't come at all.

I never understood those people who wanted to gather the Dragon Balls to wish for Immortality. That would really suck. Death is the only thing that you are sure is going to happen. It's the only thing you can rely on in this world. I only wish that I knew when death was coming, that way I'd be prepared, but then that would take the fun out of life, wouldn't it? I read a story. Very short, about a man who found out he was going to die. And he spent the rest of his life trying to stop the inevitable (1).

Now, you see, if I knew that I was going to die on say…June 22, in 3 years. I would probably be okay with it. But then…my mind starts thinking…Hey…I'm too young to die! I need to stop this. And, as in the story, I spend the next 3 years of my life trying to stop my death, instead of having fun, living out my life. I could go get a credit card, Max it out, and never have to pay bills (I know, I know, its very wrong but hey, I'm going to die in 3 years! Would that really matter to me? I'm technically a dead man.)

Well, anyways, I'm getting off subject. So, death sucks, I mean, you've never felt anything like this and if you have, you'll never remember it. I remember when I fell to the ground. It reminded me of when Gohan hit me so I couldn't help him. Except, this wasn't almost un-consciousness that made the ground pillowy soft (not really) it was shock. Once again, I marvel at the wonders of the body. Human or Saiyan. I hit the ground, half dead and my good ol' body was going into shock. So, at least my last moment was all right, not too much pain, ne?

Yeah, that's what I thought, until I started coughing up my own blood. A lot of people think that drowning in…anything for that matter is better than dying painfully. But what they don't understand is that it is painful. Close your mouth and plug your nose, then your body starts hurting and you start getting a pain in your chest. You can feel your heart beating in your chest, and if you do it long enough you will start getting this urge to arch your back. You see, when you drown in something, your body is trying desperately to breath. Striving to breath.

Now, if you are drowning in water, then your body will try to swallow air, but since you're under water, you swallow water. You lungs fill up with water and it starts feeling like they are bricks. Instead of air going into your lungs, water does, therefore killing you.

After Cell shot me through the chest, blood started filling up my throat and lungs. My body tried to hold it down because it felt like I was about to vomit. But then my eyesight started getting cloudy, blacking out again, and my body started feeling like it was going around in circles, and I couldn't hold it down anymore.

My back arched very quickly and I could feel the blood come up. My blood splashing onto the ground around my, some even on my face. My eyes completely blacked out. I heard the noises of people around me, at first very clearly, but then it felt like they were moving away. I heard people trying to talk to me, at first there words were clear, then foggy. The last thing I remember hearing was a scream, before I opened my eyes to Snake Way.

Authors Notes:

So sorry that this chapter was so short. I was hoping on making it a little longer, but I just am too lazy. I hope all the people that are reading this like it. If I come up with another Idea on a moment that I can help Trunks relive than I will write about it.

If you guys have any suggestions, please leave then in your review or e-mail them to me at Krystinakaioh@yahoo.com

That reference was to a story I wrote for a language arts class. Its only about 5-10 pages long, if any of you would like to read it I could post it or E-mail you a copy.

Thanks for all the reviews I've gotten, they make very nice Ego boosts.

Oh…as another side note…the M and , buttons are now unstuck! Yipeee!!
