Fanfic: Der Weg zurück ins Leben 9
Chapter: The way back to life 9
While Vegeta sinks into his thoughts, Trunks makes his way to the laboratory to get in touch with his father again.
Trunks stands in front of the control desk and mentally praises his grandfather for the good work.
After entering the frequency, an image appears on the monitor.
'Fortunately, he didn't deactivate the space capsule.'
Trunks looks at his father for a few minutes first. Vegeta only notices that Trunks is in contact with him when he is spoken to.
"Hello father. I'm glad to see that you are not hurt."
Vegeta doesn't look at Trunks.
"I understand you, but please come back. This is your home. We love you and we miss you."
Trunks bursts into tears. Vegeta only looks briefly at his son, he can't stand to watch him suffer so much.
A few minutes pass in which Trunks fought in vain against the tears and waits for a reaction from Vegeta.Vegeta can't take it anymore and smashes the screen with one punch.
'I am sorry. my son. But I would only bring you more suffering. '
Trunks stares at the black screen in front of him.
'Father'
The tears overwhelm him completely and he slowly slides down the control panel.
He gives himself completely to his feelings.
After he has settled down, he goes into the living room to say goodbye to Gohan and Pan.
Vegeta stares out into space, wondering what to do now.
'I miss them too, but I can't help them:'
A few days pass before Vegeta finds a new planet to land on.
During these days, life on earth runs smoothly again.
Trunks and Bra go back to school and occasionally visit friends.
After Vegeta landed on the planet, he is approached by a resident.
The inhabitants of this planet look like humans only that their skin is purple.
"Welcome. Would you like to take part in the fighting tournament too. Which planets are you from?"
"From Earth."
"So you are human. But that's nice. People have never participated in the tournament. The earth is a very beautiful planet, I visited you on an exploratory trip. My name is Fair and you?"
"Vegeta"
"Good, Vegeta. Then let's go sign up:"
Vegeta is completely perplexed that someone is so kind to him.
The first rounds of the tournament went smoothly and Vegeta made it to the finals.
When he climbs into the ring for the final, he thinks to himself:
'Actually, I wasn't in the mood, but this fair totally took me by surprise. Somehow it's a nice change. '
He and his opponent are about equally strong and fight a bitter fight.
Suddenly Vegeta shoots through the head, which he did not contradict when they called him human.
His opponent takes advantage of this moment of distraction and shoots an energy ball at Vegeta, which hits him on the side.
Blood gapes from the wound, but that really arouses the fighting spirit in Vegeta.
In the end, Vegeta goes out of the fight as the victor.
But at the award ceremony, Vegeta falls unconscious to the ground.
In the meantime, the trunks and the bar have lunch.
Bra accidentally spilled her glass of cherry juice.
The cherry juice pours over the whole white tablecloth.
Trunks falls away from the table as if stung by a tarantula.
He backs away until he hits the fitted kitchen.
Bra looks at her brother, confused.
Soft knees - his whole body is shaking.
'Blood- all full of blood. Help someone help me papa. '
Bar gets up from the table and goes to Trunks.
"Trunks, what's wrong? Sorry I spilled it." says Bra and eats at his shirt.
After he doesn't react, Bra runs to her grandparents and comes back with them without further ado.
Dr. His wife sends letters with Bra from the kitchen.
"Trunks, do you hear me? What happened?"
"Blood- all full of blood." says Trunks and points to the tablecloth.
Dr. Briefs doesn't know what his grandson means until he discovers the cherry juice.
"Listen to me. It's just cherry juice and not blood."
Trunks slowly wakes up from his trance and looks at his grandfather, confused.
"What was going on, Trunks?"
"I don't know either, I have the feeling that something is wrong with Dad."
Dr. Briefs looks at Trunks.
"I'm sure everything is fine with your father. You never know, he's used to being in the wilderness
having to break through.
"I don't know him anymore, he has become a complete stranger to me," says Trunks, dejected
Dr. Briefs smiles at him and says to him:
"Do you remember the last time you said Papa to Vegeta? When you were 10 years old, after that you preferred to address him by Father or by his first name. But now you say Papa again. You thought you were old enough to be able to stand on your own two feet. But the event put obstacles in your way and they brought you down. Now you need a missing hand and you long for it from your father. "
Trunks relies again and has to admit that his grandfather is right.
Vegeta is slowly coming to. Everything around him is strange to him.
He is downright frightened when the door to the room is opened.
He looks relieved into Fair's face.
"Oh, how nice you woke up. I'll get you something to eat," says Fair and storms out of the room again.
A few minutes later he comes back with a tray full of food.
Vegeta is so perplexed that he can only look stupidly out of the laundry.
Fair brings the food to Vegeta and then sits on a chair by the bed.
Vegeta starts to eat while Fair pokes him.
"How are you? I was worried. Do you like it? Are you traveling or just come for the tournament?"
As fair sees that Vegeta almost gets stuck in his throat with so many questions, he breaks off his holes.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I literally overwhelmed you with my questions."
After Vegeta has eaten the meal, he asks:
"Why are you so nice to me? You don't even know me. I could have attacked you. You saw what I am capable of."
"But I have no reason to distrust you, do I? You don't give me the impression that you are angry. If it were you, you would have done something long ago."
Fair smiles at Vegeta and this makes Vegeta very embarrassed.
"Don't you have a family, Fair?The house is so quiet. "
Fair's face darkens.
"I had a family, but they were killed by 2 Saiyajins a long time ago. Only because they didn't want to fall on their knees in front of them. I had a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful sons. We were able to drive them away with the help of neighboring planets. You're a Saiyan too, aren't you? I noticed it at the tournament. "
"Yes, but then you have absolutely no reason to help me. Which of my people killed your family. You should actually hate me."
"You didn't do it, so why should I hate you for something you didn't commit? Just because you are of the same race doesn't mean that you are the same. With every people there is good and bad."
"But I was the same. I've wiped out thousands of innocent lives."
Vegeta can't look at Fair and stares at the opposite wall.
