profusely, but that didn't seem to bother him. He had no regard for his life, had become a ... thing whose eyes were almost unbearably wild. Hatred sprayed from them, he apparently wasn't thinking any more, just wanted to kill. Tear. Shredded. Wanted blood. But he had even less of a chance against the monster than last night. He barely had the strength to stay in the air. No sooner had the others reached the battlefield than he was thrown to the ground, where he lay howling. Only after the third attempt did he manage to straighten up. He was about to pounce on the monster again when a bright light shone from the sky. A glowing figure floated down and slowly approached the Trunks beast. In one swift movement she was clutching Trunks. This defended himself violently, screamed, howled, kicked out and hit the shining person, but he did not let go of him and slowly his defensive movements slowed down and finally he did not offer any resistance at all.The Z-fighters stared spellbound at the figure. Vegeta recognized her first. It was himself.




Trunks slowly came to. Not like out of a swoon. It was like escaping from prison. He hadn't really been free since he'd become that angry beast out of sheer desperation that Saturday. He lived in a body that just didn't listen to him. He had been a prisoner of his grief, his anger, and his hatred. A remnant of the transformation had not left him until now. He kept doing things that he didn't want to do, that he would never do voluntarily. A few times he had tried to free himself, had fought over and over again against the control something had taken over him, wanted to shake it off. But he never quite made it. Then he saw the monster again. The monster that killed his father. He was angry. Very angry. Was about to shake off the foreign control after all.But it wasn't enough. From the beginning he had directed all his hatred towards the sun. It wasn't logical, but his confused thoughts shortly after his father's death had made him do it. The monster wasn't that important anymore. Besides, he would only have been able to break free properly if he had his father back. And that, strangely enough, had just happened. His father had come. The real! Not the one he'd recently met and immediately sensed that wasn't the right one. The sight of it hadn't been enough to shake him awake. After a brief, very brief rise, he had to admit defeat again. But now the bonds were getting thinner and thinner. The ruling power wanted to push Vegeta away first, wanted to free himself from his strong grip, twisted and thrashed. But old Trunks was awake. He struggled again against alien control, and this time the chances weren't too bad.His father was with him. He helped him. He really did it. After two or three minutes he was completely himself again. He looked into the face in front of him. It smiled warmly and lovingly at him. "Can I let it go a little? Aren't you going to run away again?" The voice sounded friendly too. It really was! His father! He nodded. The grip loosened, but he didn't let go of him. Trunks felt the strong arms wrap around his shoulders. He was gently pressed against the muscular torso in front of him. He felt so safe and protected. The last drowsiness took a lot from him. He hugged his father and started crying. He wept for joy. "Oh father, I missed you so much. Please stay with me from now on!" He freed himself from the embrace and looked into his face. His mind had come back on too. "Why are you here? That is not possible." "Well, my son, you are right. Unfortunately, I am still dead.I only saw what happened to you, and since the whole world was in danger because of your condition, I was allowed to see you briefly to put everything back in order. I am an angel, so to speak. "Trunks stared at him." That must not be true. I have him right now and then he has to go again. "Vegeta seemed to guess his thoughts and said:" Now don't hang your head. I have one Idea. The other time there weren't any more dragon balls. But you can bring me back to life with those from that time. The others will probably collect the dragon balls and destroy them when we have dealt with this disgusting monster right away Rebuilding cities and wishing people alive again. And you can ask Bulma to lend you a spaceship and the dragon ball radar, and then you fly to Namek and collect the Namek's dragon balls. Maybe Kakarott will help you with that, who rules namely the current teleportation.Usually I hate to let him help me, because he does that indirectly, but I really want to be with you and Bulma again. OK? "Trunks nodded happily." Phew, I'm glad this is all over. Hopefully you are not too mad at me. "" Pah, you have absolutely no right to that. They shouldn't even bother you with that. You've been through quite a bit, Kuririn, Goten, and above all this Yamcha shouldn't complain about their slight sunburn. Yeah, I've seen it all. But why didn't you take down that monster when you got the chance? You even had all of my Karus with you on the chain. Already clear that you wouldn’t have helped them out of good will and good heart in that form back then, but you wanted to get it over with. Why didn't you? "" I'm sorry. But the thing about 'only use in an emergency' had gotten stuck in my head. Since my life was not in immediate danger and this other world was none of my business, at least I thought at the time, I didn't do it.Tell me, when you've seen it all, you can definitely tell me something. After I seem to have bitten Goten, the vulture knows why, I woke up with a bite wound. Did I bite myself? "Vegeta gave him an understanding smile." I can understand that you're confused. That was a wolf. Perhaps you saw him as a fellow and therefore let him get so close that he could bite you. And for some reason you couldn't stand that and you kept getting weaker. And when the sun went down, you have completely transformed back, and are pumped out like you always were after a transformation on the way to bed, simply passed over. But that's only a theory, because something like this has never happened before, even the lord of the underworld couldn't explain what's wrong with you. But you're fine now, aren't you? "" Yes, everything will be fine now. The injuries from this monster are healed quickly with a magic bean."" Oh yeah, you're hurt. Can you even stand "He floated on the floor and then let go of his son completely. Unfortunately Trunks could hardly stand on his feet. So Vegeta held him and said:" Then best kill this monster now, because you have all the carousels now. "" Of course you'll get them back when you're alive. But for practice purposes I'll do that now. Just take one and throw one? "" Yes, the monster is definitely not expecting that now. It's best to take the one on the far left behind the medal, it's from Raddiz. It's not a shame, I want to keep the one from you. "Trunks smiled." Okay, I agree. Then I want to show this monster what it means to mess with us. "He took the karu and hurled it at the surprised monster with one quick movement. The point hit it on the forehead and penetrated a few millimeters. There was a blinding light, a loud bang and where the cattle had just been, there was only a small pile of ash left.Vegeta felt the weight suddenly increase in his arms. He looked at his son and smiled. He passed out. All the excitement and the serious injuries were probably a little too much for him. He picked him up like a little child and flew with him to the CC.


The rest of Group Z was still confused at the battlefield. What had just happened there? Trunks, who had been held with his back to them by a second Vegeta, had apparently turned back again. His hair had turned purple again, his tail had disappeared, the sleeves of his T-shirt had become longer, the clothes had become discolored and in the end he was ... wearing pajamas. Nobody could figure that out. First normal clothes, pants, shirt, jacket, then this strange transformation and then pajamas? Did that have any deeper meaning? Anyway: who was the other Vegeta. Trunks had said his father was dead.And in the end, for some reason, the monster exploded. Questions about questions. No answers. Goku suggested: "Let's fly back to the CC, we can't find out anything more here." When they landed in front of the house, the door opened and out came ... Trunks. He had a determined look on his face and ran to meet them. The others got queasy. What did he have now? If he was about to pounce on someone like a fury again, everyone was looking for an escape route. Trunks must have noticed because he grinned at her in amusement. Then he laughed. Goku said he had misheard. That wasn't a mean, mocking laugh. It sounded really real, happy, relieved ... of course. "Don't worry, I won't attack you. I'm back to normal. You have probably already noticed that something was wrong, but now everything is fine again. Shall I help you collect the Dragon Balls?""" Y-yes, sure, nice of you. But what has happened in the meantime? "" I woke up, swallowed a magic bean, and then you guys have come too. Father had to go straight away, he couldn't stay any longer. "" But ... I thought your father was dead? "" Yes, he is too. That's why he couldn't stay any longer. So what is it? Can we go then? You want to repair the damage caused by this monster, don't you? " "Yes Yes sure. I'll go in quick and get the radar. "Five minutes later, Goku came back outside." Okay, let's jet off then. "They made their way to the first Dragon Ball. Trunks flew next to Vegeta and T2." Tell me ... I saw such a little girl in the house. Is that related to you somehow? "T2 laughed." The question comes to mind early on, my dear. This is my sister, you must have noticed her before. "" Yeah ... but somehow I didn't care. How is she like?"And then Vegeta and T2 went into raptures, told them about sweet, dear little Bra.


After they had collected all seven balls and called
