Trunks was sitting in the back yard of the ruined capsule cop. He was at a loss of what to do now he had just arrived back from the past and to find his mother dead in the house. Trunks went and defeated the androids and Cell first but he came back and he had been sitting there for almost a week with not drinking or eating or sleeping just sobbing his heart out he lifted his head when he heard something. A man stepped out of the shadows and Trunks looked at him strongly as he felt a dark power inside this person. “Who are you…?” Trunks snarled. The man laughed. “My name is Ranamus I am a Saiyan like you Trunks.” Ranamus said approaching with a wicked smile on his face. “How do you know my name…” Trunks asked curiously. “Let’s just say I’m here looking for your father is he around?” Ranamus asked. Trunks glared at Ranamus. “No…he’s dead…the androids killed him…” Ranamus stared at Trunks with a little bit of shock on his face but it was soon cleared and he smiled in such a way it made Trunks back up for he was getting uncomfortable in this man’s presence. “That’s okay you’ll do instead…” The man asked grinning. “What are you talking about…?” Trunks asked getting agitated. “Your coming with me…I am in need of your service for an experiment.” “THE FUCK IM COMING WITH YOU!!!!! I AM NOT A LAB RAT GO GET SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!” The man smirked and with the blink his eyes he appeared in front of Trunks and kicked him in the stomach then elbowed him in the back then grabbed him and he said a spell and vines came out of the ground and wrapped around his body and restrained him from moving the man walked up to Trunks and started beating him repeatedly. Trunks broke free and he sent his best attack at him. Ranamus is hurt badly he got up and started to power up his “I will finish this nonsense you will come with me and I don’t want to hear any arguments.” Trunks glared at him and spat in his face. “THE HELL I AM!!!” Trunks screamed. The man chuckled and wiped the spit from under his eye. “I guess you want to do this the hard way then? We can do that…” With that he then jumped on top of Trunks and got him down on the ground him down with ki rings and then he kneeled down and pried Trunks’s jaws apart and placed a gag in his mouth and puts his hand on Trunks’s forehead and leaves a symbol sealing his powers out of use and used Mystic Smoke and a smoke like substance came out of Ranamus’s right hand and he laughs as Trunks’s eyes widen in panic and uneasiness. The smoke slowly makes its way over to Trunks and then it hits his chest and it started to enter his body and electricity came from Trunks’s chest and he let out a muffled scream. Ranamus said something some sort of spell and Trunks’s eyes snap open and he starts to panic and wheezes gasping for breath as he felt like his insides just exploded and he started having trouble breathing and staying conscious. Trunks finely couldn’t take it anymore he couldn’t keep his eyes open anymore he slowly closed them and drifted into a void of blackness.

Trunks woke up five hours later. He found himself strapped down in a laboratory he was still gagged and he was horribly tired and weakened. “Well, well sleeping beauty is awake now…” Ranamus’s voice filled the room. Trunks watched him with a look of hate in his eyes. “Now, now Trunks…that’s not very polite…I just need some help…that’s all…” Ranamus said brushing his fingers on Trunks’s cheek causing Trunks to flinch making Ranamus chuckle. “You’re even worse a weakling then your father…” Ranamus laughed and Trunks let out muffled curses at him. Ranamus just laughed and removed the gag from Trunks’s mouth. “What was that boy?” Ranamus asked. “I swear to Kami I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!” Trunks screamed. “Oh and how are you going to do that oh mighty prince of Saiyans?” Trunks tried to lash forward but his chains were too strong. “We are going to have lots of fun tonight Trunks…” Ranamus laughed and began to cut his clothes off with a knife. Trunks’s eyes widened. “N-No…p-please no…” Trunks stuttered. Ranamus shook his head. “Don’t worry kid you’re not my type.” Trunks watched in horror as his pants were removed but was thankful it was just that instead of his shorts. Then he watched as Ranamus walked over to a fire and pulled something out of it and struggled with all he could after he saw what it was he had in his hand. It was a metal bar it was glowing from it being in the fire. Ranamus laughed at the look of fear on Trunks’s face. “I’d hold still if I were you it’ll hurt worse if you don’t.” With that he lowered it to Trunks’s legs and touched the hot metal on them and Trunks howled in pain. “Be ready for a lot of pain boy…”

Three months later…

Trunks was almost loose the last few days had been horrible torture worse then usual. Trunks worked at the locks one more time and finely it snapped. Trunks looked behind him and looked at his newly grown tail he just ignored it for the moment and instead Trunks hurried to the cub bored nearby where he knew Ranamus had put his things and he pulled out the time capsule from a pocket in his belt he quickly got dressed and hopped in and was gone with a flash.

Meanwhile in the past timeline…

In a mountain clear all was peaceful, that was until a massive shockwave spread over the area. A young man wearing an orange martial arts outfit and a tall green skinned man wearing a purple outfit had smashed fists as they continued their spar. The two wearing moving faster then could be seen and it was clear that they weren't slowing down anytime soon. “Good Gohan, just what I expected from the kid that destroyed cell!" The green man said in praise to the Boy "Thank you mister Piccolo, but it's time to stop holding back" Gohan powered up and his hair turned gold "Now it's time for round two" Again the two collided together creating a shockwave, only this time it made a depression in the ground. However as they separated, a light appeared where they had been and a odd machine now replaced the light. Gohan and Piccolo stood in awe at the strange machine before either of them recognized it, and they were surprised to say the least as they had though it would never be seen again. “P-Piccolo…” Gohan stuttered as he saw blood smears on the front of the machine. Piccolo frowned and started to approach when the sound of the glass dome like door latch clicked and started to open. And Trunks climbed out he looked horribly thin and tired. He tried setting foot on the ground but his sore legs wouldn’t allow his weight to hold him any longer and instead he just fell flat on his back he stayed there looking at the clouds until two shadows over headed above him. Trunks looked up and squinted to see if he were seeing things. “T-Trunks…?” Gohan asked Trunks who looked like he was to pass out at any minute. “Go…han…?” Trunks said weakly before he turned his head to the side and yet again fell unconscious. Gohan looked at Piccolo who just eyed Trunks’s tail then looked him up and down he walked over and lifted up one of his pant legs so it was up to his knees and Gohan gasped at all the horrid scars and burns on his legs. “He needs help badly…Piccolo…” Gohan whispered lifting him onto his back.

Capsule corp. …

VEGETA!!!!! YOU ALMOST BLEW UP THE HOUSE AGAIN STOP TRAINING FOR FIVE SECONDS WILL YA YOUR GOING TO KILL ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Bulma screamed. Then stopped when the door was kicked down and Gohan ran in and put someone on the couch. “GOHAN WHAT THE WHY DID YOU BREAK THE…door…TRUNKS!!!!!!!!!!” She screamed. “Oh god what happened to him!?!” She screeched. “We don’t know he arrived here minutes ago like this.” Gohan said quickly. Piccolo reached for Trunks’s pant leg again and lifted it up. “Take a look at these.” He stated. Bulma stared in shock. “T-They look like burns and burn scars…” Bulma whispered. Piccolo nodded. “Hmm…I wonder…” Bulma said and lifted up Trunks’s shirt revealing scars and deep gashes on his chest. “His tail has grown back…” Bulma whispered.

Trunks moaned and turned his head as his eyes flickered open. Take a moment to look around, the young Saiyan saw that he was in a medical room, seeing this he panicked thinking that he had been captured again. Getting up from the bed quickly, Trunks prepared to run when he sensed some familiar energies close by. So with his interest peeked Trunks decided to investigate. Moving through the halls, he noticed that this place looked oddly familiar but for some reason he couldn't remember. Closing in on the energies Trunks could hear the voices that went with them. "Come on then, son of Kakarot. Show me you're true power" "Alright then Vegeta, you asked for it" One of the energies spiked massively but that was not what Trunks focused on, all that was going through his mind was "Father?" With that thought, Trunks entered the room and saw his father and Gohan doing battle. The two didn't notice him as his power level was extremely weak and getting weaker by the second "Father!" Was the last thing Trunks said before collapsing again, this got the attention of the two fighters. Gohan powered down and rushed over to help Trunks while Vegeta just looked angry. Helping Trunks up, Gohan carried him back to the med lad with Vegeta following behind with his usually appearance of not caring. When they reached the room, they saw Bulma come rushing out in shock only to stop in front of them when she noticed Trunks. "Where did you find him!" She practically screamed their ears off "H-he made his way to the training room" Gohan tried to answer "What's the problem woman, you act like he is a child!" Said Vegeta whose tone suggested boredom "Vegeta I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you say that! Now help me get him back inside"

Trunks’s eyes fluttered open and he gasped as he found himself back in the medical room yet again he noted that this time he only had his black pants on and his boots. He saw an open window next to the bed he was in and he slowly got out of bed he felt weird around the waist he looked down and noticed his belt was tighter than it was before it felt like it was going to snap something in half to Trunks. He stopped and loosened it a little bit then he made his way over to the window and climbed out. Trunks stopped when he came to a tree he was too weak to fly up there so he just climbed instead he soon fell asleep again and he just sat there for a few hours sleeping deeply before he felt someone shake him rather roughly. He opened his eyes and saw Vegeta hovering in the air keeping a cold expression on his face. “You shouldn’t be outside.” He said gruffly. “I couldn’t sleep…” Trunks whispered groggily. “TRUNKS!!!!!!!!!!!!” Bulma screamed as she came running out in a panic. “Trunks get down from there your not in shape for that right now!!!”  Bulma screeched. “Mother…?” Trunks asked his voice cracking and tears welled up in his eyes. “Trunks….?” Bulma asked. “Baby what happened…?” She asked looking at the pain in his eyes. “When I got back mom was dead…the androids got to her before I did.” Trunks whispered. Trunks hopped down from the tree landing on his knees. “Then Ranamus came he captured me and tortured me for three months strait beating after beating…” Trunks burst into tears after he finished his sentence. Bulma kneeled down and pulled Trunks close to her stroking his hair and making hushing sounds with a soothing voice. Trunks didn’t look up at either of his parents while he said any of the parts about Ranamus he couldn’t look at his fathers face he was soo ashamed to be crying in front of him and he knew Vegeta’s face would have a look of pure disgust written all over it. He couldn’t look at Bulma because she reminded him of his mother in his timeline the one he had grown up with most of his life. He risked taking a look at Vegeta he looked up and saw that it wasn’t disgust on his face it was shock. “Father…?” Trunks asked. “I want to talk to you alone brat…” Vegeta growled. Bulma glared at Vegeta who simply glared back at her. “I have my reasons women!” He snarled before she could argue. Bulma went back inside the house. “Vegeta pinned Trunks against the tree and went Super Saiyan scaring the crap out of Trunks he hadn’t ever seen him soo pissed at him. “Did you say Ranamus boy!!!” Vegeta screamed in Trunks’s face. Trunks nodded and quickly. “What did he do to you!!!?” Vegeta screamed. “I already told you…he tortured me…” Trunks said as tears started pooling up again not liking having to talk about this. Vegeta struck him across the face. “WHAT DID HE PUT INSIDE YOU!!!?” Trunks looked stunned for a second wondering how Vegeta would know he did something to his body Trunks took a second to try and remember what had happened during his and Ranamus’s first encounter with each other. “Some sort of smoke it sank into my skin then he said some sort of spell I don’t know what it was for...” Trunks said not liking talking about what Ranamus did to him. “What did it feel like…?” Vegeta asked with a look of concern on his face. “W-Well it felt like my insides just exploded…and I started having trouble keeping awake…” Vegeta gasped as he looked at Trunks’s eyes they were a darker blue upon seeing this Vegeta knocked Trunks out with a heavy blow to the neck then he scooped his son up into his arms and ran inside.

“I wonder what Trunks and Vegeta are talking about Bulma…” Krillin stated. But stopped when the door burst open from a kick from Vegeta’s foot. He ran in and almost in what would seem to the Z fighters as a panic. “WOMAN!!!!!!” He screamed. “MY NAME IS BULMA!!!!!!!!!” Bulma screamed back. “Whatever!!! Help him!!!” “What happened now? Did he pass out?” Yamcha asked as he, Gohan and Bulma rushed over to Vegeta. Vegeta shook his head. “I knocked him out.” Bulma was enraged upon hearing this. “YOU WHAT!!!!!!!!!” “Woman there’s no time he’s being controlled by whoever tortured him and if we don’t get what’s gonna cause him to do what he’s gonna do before he wakes up we’re all dead!!!” Then they all ran to the infirmary and put Trunks down on one of the beds. “What whose controlling him?” Gohan asked. “Ranamus…” Bulma glared. “That’s who is this Ranamus Vegeta Trunks’s said you knew him.” Vegeta sighed. “He’s a Saiyan…he’s my brother…” “WHAT!!!” Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha and Bulma exclaimed. “Yes my father sent him away from us because he was too powerful for my father to handle he had a rare power of mind control or finding ways to take over other people’s bodies.”

Hours later…

Trunks was laying down in the bed he was undressed so far as his underclothing revealing all the scars and injuries his tail hung over then edge of the bed. Everyone was sitting there waiting for him to wake when Trunks suddenly moaned catching everyone’s attention. Trunks’s eyes opened but they weren’t the same they were coal black and he suddenly lunged at Vegeta who turned Super Saiyan and hit him in the side sending him crashing through the wall. “TRUNKS!!!” Bulma screamed Trunks was suddenly tackled by Gohan but he got him off easily. “Trunks calm down…” Vegeta said softly. “Since when do you call him by his name Vegeta…?” Gohan asked. “Silence that is none of your concern.” Vegeta snapped. Trunks’s eyes turned back to blue and he looked around panicked. “Trunks…?” Vegeta asked. Tears formed in his eyes and Trunks just stared up at Vegeta from his spot on the floor. “W-What’s happening to me…?” Trunks asked. Vegeta opened his mouth to answer when a dark laugh filled the room. “I’m happening to you boy…” The voice laughed. Trunks’s eyes widened and he froze. Vegeta bared his teeth and looked around. “I know you’re here Ranamus show yourself this instant.” Trunks looked at Gohan. “G-Gohan run get out of here take my mother with you get everyone away from here…far away…” Trunks whispered. Gohan nodded everyone ran out of the building. “Gohan…” Trunks called. “Yea Trunks?” Gohan asked and stopped before the doorway. “What ever happens do not come back to help this is between family…” “But Trunks…” Gohan started. “Please Gohan… I wouldn’t forgive myself if… something… happened to you… like it did in my time...” Gohan nodded in understanding. With that Gohan left. “Don’t worry about them Trunks I’ll just get them later. Ranamus said amused finely he stepped out of the shadows. Vegeta glared at Ranamus. “Hello little brother it’s been a while hasn’t it…?” Vegeta smirked. “Yes and I see you’ve already met my son Trunks. They both looked at Trunks looking up and down at his wounds. When their eyes met each other again Vegeta glared hard. This is between you and me it has nothing to do with my son. “Actually that’s where your wrong brother he has a lot to do with this I have him under my control. “I am not under anyone’s control!!!” Trunks suddenly screamed. Ranamus saw a roll of bandages on the counter he winked and it unrolled and it wrapped around Trunks tying him down to the bed tightly. “Look familiar Trunks?” Trunks’s eyes widened in panic as he approached him and picked up a washcloth from the counter. Vegeta stood there with a look of hate on his face. “FATHER DON’T JUST STAND THERE!!!” Trunks screamed trying to get out of the bindings. “Trunks you talk way too much in fact I don’t want to hear another word out of you so here.” Ranamus smiled evilly and stuffed the washcloth down Trunks’s throat. “There that’s much better…” Ranamus said cupping Trunks’s chin and pulling Trunks’s face to his so they were five inches apart.  “Now kiddo… you just stay quiet and let the adults talk for a while.” Trunks’s tail swished about nervously as Ranamus placed five little egg like things on the bed next to Trunks and when he clenched his fist they the eggs hatched into tiny strange looking bugs. One crawled down two crawled down to his ankle to his ankles one to each sides they bit down sending shock waves into his body causing him to scream from the strong electricity, two crawled into his hands and bit down sending electricity running through his body it made Trunks scream even harder, then the last one climbed onto his chest and it also bit down and this one sent stronger volts of electricity flowing through his body this one made Trunks scream so much even though he was gagged he felt like his lungs would burst at any second. Ranamus walked back to where he was and laughed at the look of hate on his face. “This is between you and me Ranamus…leave my son out of this…” Vegeta growled trying not to beg for Trunks upon hearing his muffled screams of pain. Ranamus laughed and clenched his fist and a bar came out of the wall and it wrapped around Vegeta pinned him so he couldn’t move he was about to break it when the metal started glowing Vegeta tried this time and he couldn’t even budge it. “Heh, heh it can even hold a Super Saiyan and a Super Saiyan at a higher level you like it Vegeta?” Ranamus asked chuckling then his shadow multiplied and ten clones of him arose from the ground. The real Ranamus chuckled and turned his back on Vegeta and walked over to Trunks smiling like mad. Trunks struggled pleading for his life to be spared but it was all muffled. “Now Trunks… don’t worry I wont kill you I’m just going to have a little fun with you in front of your father. Vegeta glared hard at Ranamus as he looked back at him and smiled at his words and the on Vegeta’s face from them. “Now, now just hold still and this wont hurt at all…but it’ll feel really weird.” Then Ranamus moved out of the way and all ten of his clones faded to a shadow like faded form and they went inside his body. Causing Trunks to shriek as it felt he was being cut in half with a knife. Trunks went Super Saiyan 2 his hair shot up and electricity surrounded him and he broke free. Trunks removed the gag but fell to the floor as Ranamus’s clones lowered his body temperature then he felt like his insides exploded again. “What’s wrong Trunks? Sore? Cold?” Then Ranamus was blasted to the side and he hit the wall. Trunks looked at the door and saw Gohan. “Trunks! Vegeta!” He shouted. Gohan helped Trunks to his feet and the both freed Vegeta. “I got an idea father….” Trunks whispered. “What?” Vegeta asked. “Let’s all three of us attack him at once…” Trunks suggested. “I think it might work Trunks ready on three…one…two…three!!!!” Vegeta went Super Saiyan and Trunks and Gohan went Super Saiyan 2. Vegeta shot a Final Flash and Trunks sent a Burning Attack and Gohan sent a Super Kamehame HA!!! They all made a direct his and Ranamus was incinerated and as soon as that happened Trunks fell to the floor.

The steady beep of the heart monitor attached to Trunks’s body was the only thing making noise in the room. Vegeta just stared at Trunks’s lifeless form. “Trunks had been in a coma for almost two weeks and they were going to pull the plug next week if he didn’t wake. Vegeta thought this over strongly and how much he hated his brother for doing this to his son. Trunks’s tail twitched and Vegeta jumped up in surprise. “H-hey…” Trunks whispered. Vegeta just stared. “I’m sorry I let him do that to you Trunks.” Vegeta whispered. “Why’d you do it…?” Trunks asked. “Because I knew that if I moved he was going to kill you…” Vegeta said. Trunks nodded. “Well you did what you thought was right…” Trunks wheezed.
