Video Footage: "Video Footage"
Chapter 25
It can't be
"We're under attack?" Vegeta spoke in a confused tone. "By who?"
"What did Gohan say?" Kaiser continued calmly.
"H-He said that someone attacked each and every one of the Z Fighters and beat them to a bloody pulp." She said shocking the two male Saiyans. "Gohan himself got attacked but he was powerful enough to withstand the enemy's power but he couldn't catch his face. Kami house was burnt down. Krillen and 18 were beaten up pretty bad but Master Roshi escaped with minor injuries. Yamcha was attacked but he too wasn't hurt too bad. Tien and Chaotzu were on the brink of death when Gohan found them. They're fine now but oddly enough, this new threat didn't attack the lookout. If he knew the locations of each of us then that person should've attacked the lookout too." She finished as she rubbed her chin.
"Damn it!" Kaiser growled. "All of this happened right under our noses and there was nothing we could do about it." He said as he clenched his fists.
"Why didn't he attack us?" Vegeta hissed. "I wish he did so I can kill him personally."
"He did attack us Vegeta." Brila said silently making the prince shoot daggers at her. "He attacked us yesterday when he killed Mr. and Mrs. Briefs but the more important question is what we should do now?"
"I think we should gather at the lookout." Kaiser said as he folded his arms.
"No." Vegeta grunted.
"What? Why not?" Kaiser replied as he narrowed his eyes at his father.
"That is what our enemy wants. He wants us all to gather at one place so he can destroy us all in one shot." Vegeta continued.
"He's not nearly powerful enough for that." Kaiser growled. "We can take him if he comes there!"
"He managed to fight Gohan." Brila stated. "We don't know what he's capable of."
"She's right brat. As much as I want to kill that guy, I have to think about the woman and Trunks first." Vegeta sighed as he closed his eyes.
Kaiser let out a faint scowl and unfolded his arms. "Very well. What do we do then?"
"Get Kakabrat and his family here." Vegeta said as he opened his eyes. "We need to debrief him."
"Right and who'll get him?" Brila asked.
"You two will." Vegeta said making Kaiser stiffen a little. Vegeta noticed this but ignored it. "You can use your teleportation technique to get them here fast. In the meanwhile, I'll go and check the security cameras and if you encounter the enemy, don't take him or her on alone. Spike your ki so others are aware of your situation."
"That's a well planned out plan Vegeta." Brila said with a smile. Kaiser didn't say anything and just nodded at his father's commands.
"Just get to it." He snorted as he made his way to the security room.
"You ready Kaiser?" Brila said as she put her hand on his shoulder. He merely nodded as he put two fingers on his forehead and within an instant, the two vanished.
Vegeta had reached the security room. It was his first time in there. This room had nothing to do with his training so he didn't care about. There were a lot of rooms he didn't know care about actually. He looked down at the control panel and growled at the thought of how far back Earth was on technology.
He put on yesterdays surveillance footage from the database and skipped to the part where the slaughter began. After a few minutes of skipping, he reached the part he wanted to see. He pressed play and watched as the Briefs couple stepped inside of the gravity room. He turned up the volume so he could hear every word they said.
"I sure am happy to see you again but why are we here?" Mr. Briefs asked as he turned around.
"Oh don't be silly honey. He told us that he had to show us something here." The bubbly Briefs woman said cheerfully. Vegeta tried to find the person they were talking to but he couldn't see. The pillar was blocking the camera's field of view and he stood behind the pillar.
"That's right. I had to show you two something." The voice spoke dark and coldly.
"What's wrong with your voice dear? Did you catch a cold?" Mrs. Briefs asked slightly concerned.
"No. I am perfectly fine but there's a problem with the gravity control."
"Really? Bulma just fixed it after Vegeta broke the panel yesterday. What a klutz." Mr. Briefs chuckled slightly that made his wife laugh a little too. Vegeta had accidently thrown a ki blast at the control panel which caused it go haywire. He focused back at the screen as he did not want to miss a single detail.
"I see. How very amusing." The voice chuckled evilly. "Anyway, I don't need you here. You can check the gravity controls for me." He said evilly. Vegeta wasn't sure who he was talking to. He concluded that it was probably the woman he had told to leave as she couldn't fix machinery to save her life.
"Oh that's okay. I am sure that I can make some cookies before you two are done here." She spoke with the slightest of hesitation.
"You misunderstood me. What I meant was…" He paused for a few seconds. "I don't need you to live anymore." He said maniacally as he continued to cut the woman in half with what looked like a black rope.
Mr. Briefs stepped back as the cat that sat on his shoulder ran out of the gravity room. His cigar fell out of his mouth as he watched the bloody and severed body of his wife. He started trembling as he looked back up to the murderer. "W-W-Why?" He spoke as he fell flat on his back and before he could make any other gesture, both his arms got cut off by that black rope. He let out a yell of agony as he fell back.
The voice laughed maniacally at the sight of blood and severed bodies. "This is so enjoyable. I love this." He said evilly as he continued his laughing fit. He ceased his laughter a few moments after a few button clicks were heard. "Now die." He said as he pressed another button that intensified the gravity. The gravity went up to 200 times Earth's normal gravity and Vegeta watched as the couple's bodies got crushed under the intense gravity. Blood splattered everywhere and the sounds of bones being broken could be heard too. After a few seconds everything went silent. Vegeta thought that this was the end of yesterday's events but he was wrong. He had the urge to get closer to the screen and when he did, the blood red eyes covered the screen making Vegeta jump back. The eyes were red and full of death. The cold look they had was one Vegeta would never forget. Then the voice spoke the words he had written on the floor. "This is just the beginning." He said as he laughed maniacally and continued to write those words down with blood he had shed.
Vegeta thought that this was finally the end but he was wrong again. Suddenly someone turned the light off in the security room and without turning around Vegeta could tell that he was not alone in the room. He slowly turned around to find those same eyes. The figure stood in front of the door which was at least 10 feet away from Vegeta but he could see those shimmering red eyes clearly. Vegeta jumped into a stance and glared at his new foe and before he could say anything, the figure broke the silence with an evil laugh.
"I have attacked the heart." He said in a cold tone as he vanished.
Vegeta stood rooted to the spot. It wasn't fear that had him so shocked. It was an indescribable feeling. Someone had managed to approach him without him noticing and he left with saying the most terrifying of words. Vegeta could no longer sense him but then reality struck him. If he couldn't sense him that didn't necessarily mean that he wasn't still here. Vegeta cursed at himself for being so stupid and decided to run as fast as he could to his wife and son but before he could go out, Kaiser came in.
"Dad. Did you find anything? And why are the lights off?" He asked he switched the lights back on only to see Vegeta's bewildered face. "What happened?" He asked in a more serious tone.
"MOVE IT BRAT!" He yelled as he pushed his son out of the way and ran towards Bulma's room. Kaiser watched him run with a quizzical expression but he decided to run after him nonetheless.
Vegeta ran into his room hoping that that red eyed bastard didn't touch his wife and kid. When he could smell fire, his heart dropped to his stomach but he didn't stop just there. Within a micro second he reached the door through which smoke was escaping.
He kicked the door open to find everything on fire. His eyes widened at the sight and he made his way in moving through the fire like it was water. Kaiser was right behind him and he too was shocked and worried but not as much as he should've been.
From the corner of his eyes, Vegeta saw his son shielding himself and his mother with a force field. A proud smirk appeared on his face. He slapped his hands together with enough force to blow the fire out. Kaiser and Vegeta quickly made their way to the rest of their remaining family and stood in front of them like two protective avatars.
"Are you two okay?" Kaiser said as he checked the two for injuries.
"W-We're fine. Thanks to Trunks." She said as she hugged her younger son tightly.
"What happened woman?"
"I d-don't know. I-"
"Someone did this daddy." Trunks spoke silently shocking the two older Saiyans. He had their full attention now and they wanted to know the name or identity of the bastard who dared to attack their family.
"Who was it Trunks?" Kaiser spoke seriously.
"I-I don't know big brother but his eyes were scary. I saw him inside the mirror." He said as he started shivering. The two older Saiyans knew that he meant the reflection but Vegeta knew something no one else did.
"Son." He said as he put his hand on Trunks's head gaining his attention. Trunks looked up to him with a scared expression and Vegeta hated to scare the boy even more but he had to. "Were his eyes red?"
Trunks nodded hesitantly and that moment the Son family came in along with Brila.
"Oh Dende! What happened here?" Chi Chi exclaimed. "Bulma! Are you okay?" She said as she kneeled down next to the blue haired genius. The two women engaged in conversation as Goten ran over to Trunks to comfort him. Gohan and Brila approached Kaiser to ask him about what had happened.
"What happened here? Who did this?"Gohan asked as he stepped closer to Kaiser who was looking at the two young demi Saiyans. One could say that he was almost glaring at them.
"We were attacked by the same person who has been attacking everyone else." Kaiser said emotionlessly.
"B-But how is this possible? We were all right here. How did we not know?" Brila exclaimed.
"I don't know." Kaiser said coolly as he walked over to Vegeta. "You know something we don't?"
"Step outside. You two come as well." He said as he looked over to Gohan and Brila. They gave him a nod and stepped outside of the room.
"Did you check the security cameras?" Kaiser asked as they stepped outside.
"Yes." Vegeta grunted.
"And what did you find?" Brila asked.
"I saw his eyes on screen and in person. Trunks saw them too." He said making the three unaware Saiyans alert.
"What do you mean you saw his eyes on screen and in person?" Gohan asked hesitantly.
"He knew where the camera was and showed his eyes to the camera and nothing else. That's the only description I have of him and just as I was going to exit the room, he turned the lights off and stood in the shadows." Vegeta said angrily. "And then he said that he had attacked the heart."
"Attacked the heart? Who's heart?" Brila asked.
"This is all very confusing." Kaiser said as he rubbed his chin. "Gohan, do you have any description of this guy?"
"N-No. I didn't even see his eyes. He kept his distance from me and even with my enhanced vision I couldn't see him. It's like his body was cloaked in something dark."
"I see. He must be wearing dark clothing or something." Kaiser continued.
"I don't think so. They didn't look like clothes to me."
"That doesn't matter now. How is everyone else doing? Surely you must've checked on them."
"Oh yeah. They're all at Korin's tower. I told them not to go to the lookout just yet and if anything happened they should spike their ki."
"Good. Dad, are you sure you didn't see anything else interesting about this guy?"
"No." Vegeta grunted as he looked away.
"Okay then. I am gonna head to Korin's tower and ask the others for any sort of useful information." Kaiser said as he began walking towards the door.
"I already asked them. They don't know much." Gohan called out to him.
"The more I know the better." He said as he opened the door.
"Then take me with you. You shouldn't go alone." Brila said as she jogged towards him. Vegeta watched everything carefully. This wasn't like his son. He wasn't thinking strategically.
"That won't be necessary." He said as he put up his arm signaling her to stay put. "Besides, it's best if you stay here. Trunks needs you." He said with a weak smile. Brila nodded hesitantly and stepped away from him. Kaiser opened the door and flew off with an angry expression on his face.
Gohan turned to Vegeta who had a less than friendly expression on his face. "This isn't like him." He sighed. Vegeta merely scowled at the demi Saiyan and went back into his room to check on his wife and kid.
"That isn't the Kaiser I fell in love with." She said weakly.
"That isn't my best friend." Gohan replied as he looked at her sorrowful face. "Just what happened in the otherworld?"
"Gohan?" She said as she looked down.
"What is it?" He said as he stepped next to her.
"Will he ever turn back to the person he used to be?" She said as she looked up with tear filled eyes. "Will he ever be that nice and selfless person again? I don't think that he even loves me anymore…" She said as she started sobbing.
"I don't know Bri but hey, listen to me." He said as she cupped his hand around her chin as he lifted her face. "We must help him Bri. We don't know what he had to go through. It's not his fault that he is like this." He said as he hugged her.
Brila closed her eyes as she rested her head on Gohan's shoulder. "Thank you Gohan." She said as she squeezed him.
"You are most welcome and please let me go or else you'll crush my bones." He said playfully. Brila laughed a little as she let him go.
Then suddenly, the light turned off. "Woah, who turned off the-" Gohan said as he looked over to where Brila standing but what made him stop were those red eyes behind her. "BRILA WATCH OUT!" He yelled as he pushed her out of the way and he continued with a swift right hook. The figure let his fist hit his forehead but what shocked Gohan was that it had little to no effect because there was no sign of pain. The next thing he knew he was flying though the walls of Capsule Corp. The figure had swatted him away like a fly.
Brila watched in horror as the figure moved closer and closer to her. She quickly got to her feet as Gohan's push was strong enough to make her fall. Vegeta burst into the lounge and transformed into a Super Saiyan. Just before the light reached the red eyed monster, he vanished.
Gohan had made his way back into the lounge and the first thing he did was that he turned the lights back on. The three Saiyans looked at each other with bewildered expressions. Vegeta didn't need to ask them about what had happened. He could tell that they were in big trouble.
"This guy is way too strong." Gohan said as he rubbed his cheek. "He swatted me away like I was nothing and the worst part is that I punched him as hard as I could on his face and he didn't even move or show any sign of pain." He continued in despair.
Vegeta knew one way to counter these attacks but it was risky at the same time. "You two." He commanded. The two young Saiyans looked at the prince with the same bewildered expression. "Transform into Super Saiyans. This coward always attacks when it's dark. This way we will have light but make sure you don't generate a lot of energy because you'll still be expending your energy. We don't know for how long we'll have to stay in state." He said with a worried expression. "We should all stay in the same place…for now." Vegeta said as he walked back in his room.
Gohan and Brila both transformed into Super Saiyans and followed the worried Saiyan prince back into his room.
At Korin's Tower…
"How's your arm honey?" 18 asked Krillen as she carefully placed a pack of ice on his arm.
"It's much better now." He said as he smiled at his girlfriend. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I am fine." She said with a rare smile.
"Master Korin." Tien spoke demanding the cat's attention. "How exactly did you run out of senzu beans?"
"For the tenth time, I don't know. I could swear that I had some day before yesterday and when I checked in the morning, they were all gone." Master Korin replied wearily. "I know you guys hurt but give me some time. These things take time to grow."
Tien clenched his fists as he too was powerless against this new foe. He was too fast for the three eyed man to see. He looked down in his lap where he saw Chautzu's injured body. His right arm had literally been torn of his body but luckily Gohan had found the two just in time.
Just then, Kaiser landed in front of everyone. All of them stiffened at his arrival. He glared down at every single life form present in the tower.
"Please hang tight everyone." He said sternly. "These are tough times but we must stay strong." He said as he walked over to Tien. He kneeled down in front of him and inspected Chautzu's bloody body. "He's barely hanging in there. Why haven't you guys eaten any senzu beans?" He asked as he looked around.
"Master Korin ran out…somehow." Krillen said uneasily.
"Funny…so did we." Kaiser said under his breath. "He won't live for long." Kaiser said as he glanced back to Tien who nodded weakly. "Should I or will you do it?" He said bluntly.
"Do what?" Tien asked wide eyed. He couldn't be possibly asking for either of them to kill Chaotzu.
"Put him out of his misery."
"How dare you?" He growled as he put Chaotzu aside and stood up glaring down at the emotionless Saiyan. "How could you even say such a thing?"
"I am being reasonable. Why do you want him to live on in pain?"
"KAISER! That's enough." Yamcha growled as he stepped next to Tien.
Kaiser growled at them both and sent them a glare that ran shivers down their spines. "I am sorry." He said as he closed his eyes. "I may have spoken out of line. I forgot how important…bonds are." He said as he clenched his fists. He turned around and walked towards the edge of the tower. "I came here to check on you guys to make sure you're alright. I have completed my task and now I shall be going home."
At Kami's Lookout…
Piccolo sat inside in of the rooms of the lookout. He couldn't get the whole incident with Kaiser out of his mind and these attacks were starting to worry him greatly. Paranoia had gotten to him and he kept asking himself the same question over and over again. 'Was Kaiser really Kaiser?'
It just didn't make sense to Piccolo. He knew about the laws of the otherworld. Normally it isn't allowed for a dead person to go the world of the living without permission but what Kaiser did was heroic and noble then why did he get such a harsh punishment? And how was he able to get that negative energy? And how on Earth did he lose his Saiyan powers?
None of this made sense to him but to clear his conscious, he asked Dende for, 'The Book of Souls'. That book had the records of every person who had ever lived on this Earth. Whether he or she was from this planet or not was irrelevant to this book. It had a mind of its own and automatically recorded the deaths of every person.
This book was huge and there wasn't a number to its pages either. You could only search via alphabets. He opened section K and traced his finger through the pages and finally found his name.
"Kaiser Vegeta Briefs." He whispered. "Let's see if you're really who you say you are." He said quietly.
He gulped as he slowly looked to the right side of the page. It would either say 'dead' or 'alive'. His eyes widened at what he saw next. "Impossible…" He thought to himself. The book said that he was alive AND dead. Out of nowhere, Piccolo felt someone outside of the room. He looked at the door with wide eyes and he started trembling. He couldn't recognize this ki signature and he could feel like he was dying inside. He was actually frightened of the person on the other side of the door.
He slowly got to his feet and walked slowly over to the door. He reached the door and he could still feel the unknown ki signature on the other side. He slowly grabbed the door handle as he took a deep breath. He then jerked the door open and what he saw next shocked him to the core. A pair of red eyes was glaring at him but that wasn't the only thing he could see. He was able to study the rest of him too. Realization struck him like thunder as all of his questions were answered.
"I-It all m-makes s-s-sense now! I know who you are!" Piccolo said as he took a step back. He saw a smirk appear on the enemy's face and his fist moved forward.
At Capsule Corp…
Gohan jumped up from the couch as he sensed Piccolo's ki rise and then fall within a couple of seconds. Brila and Vegeta were aware of this too and were about to engage in conversation when Kaiser flew in through the window.
"Kaiser! The lookout is under attack!" Gohan exclaimed.
"I know. I just sensed it." He said as he landed next to his best friend. "Dad! What are your orders?" He asked with a look of concern.
"Damn it all to hell. I'll stay here. You three, go to the lookout." He growled.
"But Dad, shouldn't I stay?" Kaiser protested.
"No! I'll be fine. Just hurry up. You can't let that Namekian brat die or else we can kiss the Dragon Balls goodbye." He said uneasily.
The three of them gave Vegeta a nod and flew out of the window. Vegeta sat back down next to his wife who looked at him with great concern. Goten and Trunks were beginning to feel the magnitude of the situation and thus did not make any noise. Chi Chi sat there uneasily and just wished that Goku could've been here.
Trunks looked at his parents with great concern but then his eyes fell onto something shiny. He tilted his head slightly to further investigate and what he saw were two red orbs. Realization struck him and he knew what they were. In the dark corners of the room stood the person with red eyes.
"DADDY! BEHIND YOU!" He yelled but it was too late. Before Vegeta could turn around, a hand went through his chest narrowly missing his heart. He coughed up blood and jumped out of his Super Saiyan form as he fell on the floor. Then suddenly the light went off and all that could be heard were screams from the women and children. They watched the red eyed monster that had taken out the strongest person in the universe in just one hit and then suddenly the light had been restored in the room but the murderer was nowhere in sight.
Then from the corner of his eyes, Trunks saw the figure standing at the entrance of the room and upon seeing him, tears ran down streaming his face and he started trembling and then he asked the obvious question.
"W-W-Why?" He said making the others look in the direction he was looking.
At Kami's Lookout…
Gohan had just recovered Piccolo's bloody body. He wasn't dead but he had been rendered useless because his bones had been reduced to dust. Brila had found Dende who was fine but at a hefty price. Mr. Popo had sacrificed himself for the Guardian of Earth.
Gohan and Brila had checked Korin's Tower to make sure no one was hurt but there was no one there. All that could be seen was the blood that had been shed around the tower. There was blood on the pillars, barrels and the floor. Brila and Gohan wanted to find them but they had to find Dende first. The two put Dende and Piccolo in a safe location in the deepest section of the lookout.
Kaiser was supposed to come with them but he really wanted to go back home to protect his family. Gohan and Brila allowed this as they thought that the two of them would be sufficient enough to rescue Dende.
They came back up and looked at the damage. The tiles were all chipped and there were several large holes in the lookout.
"He finally struck." Gohan hissed. "But why now?
"I don't know but-" Before she could finish, she saw a huge energy ball approaching them fast. They were not ready for this but in the nick of time, Kaiser appeared and kicked the energy ball into space.
"Be alert you two!" Kaiser said as he landed next to Gohan and Brila.
"Thanks Kaiser but what are you doing here? I thought you said that you were going back to check on your family." Gohan asked.
"I did. Dad sent me back."
"Dende is alive and so is Piccolo but he killed Mr. Popo." Brila said with a tone of sadness.
"Piccolo…is still alive?" Kaiser asked with a serious expression.
"Y-Yes." Brila replied and before anything else could be said, the tiles under them exploded making the three Saiyans jump in different directions.
Gohan appeared out of the smoke and saw Brila with a grazed arm. "You okay Bri?" He said as he kneeled down next to her.
"I am fine but where's—GOHAN! BEHIND YOU!" She shrieked as a deadly energy ball approached them without warning. Gohan knew there was no time to dodge so he shielded Brila with his back as the blast exploded on his skin. Brila closed her eyes on impact and felt herself fly in all directions after Gohan got hit.
She slowly opened her eyes to find a bloody Gohan next to her. The skin on his back had been blasted off his body revealing his spinal cord. He was in terrible condition but he was still alive.
"Oh no…GOHAN!" She cried as she moved his hair away from his face.
"B-Brila…"He whispered in her ear.
"G-Gohan?" She looked up as she saw him with his eyes barely open. He lifted his arm and pointed at something in front of him.
"R-Run…" He whispered as he fell unconscious.
Brila looked at the direction Gohan had pointed his finger at and when she did, she felt like dying. It just didn't make sense to her. "I-It c-c-c-can't be…" She said as she slowly stood up. "B-B-But w-w-why?" She asked the person who was standing in front of her.
It was the person with the red eyes but this time, he was standing in broad daylight for everyone to see. That monster laughed maniacally as he glared at her with his red eyes. His skin was tanned and he wore all too familiar clothes and he also had a black tail.
"I have successfully attacked his heart." He said as he ceased his laughing fit. "Now prepare for my wrath. Prepare for…HELL KAISER'S WRATH!" He yelled as flames and lightening engulfed the skies.
