| Chapter 12 17 tried to hold back his anger and sadness. "How could I be so stupid! I knew Trunks looked familiar. He had Vegeta's eyes, and Bra……oh Bra…..she has Bulma's beautiful features. Being the foolish idiot that I am….. I didn't notice it. Oh how could I do this to Bra?! The one and only girl that I love!" 17 scolded to himself. "I have to explain this to Bra… I just have to." He said. Vegeta paced back and forth angrily. Bulma watched him pace. "I just can't believe it! My daughter was dating a destructible android!! How could she do this?!" Bulma stood up. "Vegeta…she didn't know." Vegeta stopped and looked at her. "That doesn't matter! She was dating an android! An android that was made by that crazy old coot!!" Bulma sighed. "Vegeta do you know who we should blame for this?" Vegeta looked at her. Bulma walked over to him and held his hands. "We have no one to blame but ourselves. We were the ones that didn't tell her about the androids." Vegeta growled. "We didn't think we'd need to!" Trunks walking into the living room interrupted them. "Mom…dad, Bra is really upset." Vegeta growled. "Grr… don't you think we know that!" Trunks backed up. "Uh yes sir." Bulma looked at Vegeta. "Vegeta I think you should talk to her." Vegeta was dumbfounded. "M- ME?! Why me?" Bulma crossed her arms. "Well you're the one who keeps on saying someone should tell her, and I think you're the right one to do that." Vegeta growled. "Fine.." Bulma smiled gently as Vegeta walked upstairs to Bra's room. Vegeta knocked on Bra's door. He heard a sad and unhappy voice respond. "Come in." He slowly walked into her room. "Bra…" he said quietly. She looked up at him. Her face covered with tears. Vegeta sat down beside her. "Bra-chan…" he said softly. "What-what do you want dad?" she sniffled. Vegeta put his arm around her shoulder. "I wanted to explain a couple things to you. things about…..17." Bra breathed in. "Dad, please…I don't want to talk about this right now." Vegeta pulled her close. "Bra-chan you're going to have to hear this sooner or later. It's best if I tell you now." Bra tried to hold back her tears. "If you think it's best…" Vegeta looked towards the door. "When Trunks was a baby, we were being threatened by destructible androids. At first there were two of them. #20, and #19, we eventually killed #19, but #20 survived and got away. It just so happens that #20 was Dr.Gero. The creator of the androids." Bra looked up at her father as he continued. "But how did you find that out?" "Your brilliant mother found that out, by recognizing his face from a science magazine." Bra snorted not surprised. "We also found out that Dr.Gero had created more than two androids. The androids that he had planned on awakening were #18..and….. #17. " Bra looked away. "Your mother also told us where his secret lab was. We went to his secret lab to stop him from awakening the androids. But it was too late. By the time we got there they had already been awakened. Dr.Gero had a control device that could make the androids shut down. Seeing that he still had the control 17 and 18 decided to destroy the control. Dr.Gero tried to stop them but they destroyed it without hesitation. Because Dr.Gero had tried to stop them….17 killed Dr.Gero before he could do anything else." Bra held onto Vegeta's shoulder. "We were all surprised at this. A creation killing it's own creator." Bra felt her tears going down her cheeks. "And so the chase began. After a while…we found out that 17 had been absorbed by another android named Cell." Bra gasped. " Absorbed? But 17 is alive." Vegeta nodded his head. "Exactly. We had wished him and 18 back to life. Cell had absorbed them both. After that day I had sworn that I would never be involved with another android again. Until the day where Krillin married 18." Bra looked down with more tears. Vegeta looked down at her. He pulled her close as she began to sob. He placed his other arm around her. She cried into his chest as he gently kissed her forehead. "Bra-chan I think you should go to sleep, you've had a rough day." Bra laid herself down. "It didn't start out that way." Vegeta looked away ashamed of himself. He stood up and walked out closing the door behind him. He lifted his head and saw Bulma looking at him. He jumped back. "Don't ever do that again!" he said. Bulma smiled gently. "I heard what you said, I thought it sounded very intelligent." Vegeta looked at her carefully. He could see that she too had tears. Vegeta growled under his breath. He opened his arms for Bulma to come into. She walked into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. He gently smiled as she placed her head on his chest. Bulma looked up at him. "Let's go to bed." He nodded. He placed his arm around her waist as they both walked into their bedroom, and shut the door. |
