POWERED UP: ASCENSION TO SUPER SAIYAN GOD

"What? Vegeta's son!" This discovery sent Bulma in an uproar.

"It's true Mom," Trunks said.

"Well, you would've think when you decide you want to marry someone you would say something like...oh, I don't know, I have another son! Did something like that just slipped his mind? That man!" she growled in annoyance.

"You can't really expect a man like that to have been waiting around for you to come along, did you?"

A voice from behind startled them all. It was Chi-Chi now making her way down the stairs with a heap of towels of different sizes and a wide bowl filled to the brim with water.

"What?" snapped Bulma, eyeing her evilly. She turned to Goku and demanded some answers, "Why is she even doing here?"

"Chi-Chi and I were on our way in the plane to visit you guys at the hospital," he struggled to pick himself up from the concrete floor, "Then this huge power level just hit me about the same time the plane lost control and crashed. I had to get her out of there and fast."

"Couldn't you have just flown over, oh, I don't know or use the instant transmission?" barked Bulma.

"Do you think we're uncivilized!" griped Chi-Chi as she made her way over to the boys. She got to work washing the wounds on her son's arms.

"How did you guys know where I was going?" he asked his mother curiously.

"Well, you didn't finish your lunch before you left," Chi-Chi chimed, "Most unusual and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Imagine my dread when I called and Dr. Brief explained that you guys were in the hospital. He didn't say why which prompted me to go myself."

"Can't put anything past you, huh, mom!" giggled Goten, realising he had been caught red-handed.

"So why were you guys at the hospital anyway?" she asked now moving on to Trunks' wounds. Already she had bloodied at least a dozen of the white towels.

"Vegeta." Bulma said sadly, "He almost lost his leg but they managed to reattach it in surgery. And he's lost a ton of blood."

Chi-Chi froze. She clumsily stumbled over to the body on the floor, dropping the towels in the water. Upon first glance, she whimpered loudly and slumped back into a nearby couch.

"He wouldn't have had to be there in the first place, Mom!" yelled Trunks angrily, shocking everyone in the room, "It's like you don't give a damn about him any more. You would rather the proud prince of all saiyans suffer in a stupid hospital than to use the dragonballs or get some senzu beans. How stupid and..."

With fire burning in her eyes, Bulma slapped the boy with all her might. Caught off-guard, tears sprung to his eyes as he looked at his mother in awe.

"I might not have been listening before, young man but if you ever dare talk to me like that again, I swear!" she yelled.

The boy held down his head in shame, looking away from his mother but his voice still held anger and frustration, "But Mom, he almost died and yet you didn't do anything."

"I think I've done more than enough. Had I patched him up, he would have gone back out to fight or more like stand there and get thrashed again. He made up his mind that he wanted to die, even though we were giving him a way out. And that's one thing your father does not do, no matter what - is give up when there's a way out."
