"I don't see why I have to explain anything to you. All you need to worry about is getting out of here. Alive." Francis said kicking Abner in the stomach again.
"I think we have every right to know what you're doing!" Trunks shouted.
"Oh I didn't say that you didn't! I said that she didn't. She made all those short jokes about me." Francis said childishly. Alley pretended to raise a sleeve and walked towards him.
"Oh you don't like short jokes huh? How 'bout I give you some bald jokes as well huh?" Alley said menacingly. Goten held her back.
"Oh I'm shaking."
"I don't wanna have to tell you twice." Trunks said.
"Okay. As this thick shit has already told you he was sent to help you two feel some human emotion but there was one thing he left out. He was very good at his job and he was thought very well of by Enma-sama. Then came the bomb that destroyed his career, it was you." Francis said pointing to Alley.
"Oh please. How many times have I heard the 'she has no feelings because she's dead inside' speech?" She asked pissed off.
"Well it's true! You act as if nothing can hurt you! You never cry at sad times, how many times in your life have you seen death and shed a tear?" Francis asked.
"Once and it only made matters worse. Crying never solves anything, it only makes your eyes puffy, your nose blocked and it makes a lot of money for the tissue company." Alley replied.
"Believe me, he tried everything he knew to get you to cry and feel some emotion but he couldn't. He thought it was just a one off but when he couldn't get Abbot and Costello here to either it cracked him. So he teamed up with me and I helped him with his insane plan."
"And your hidden agenda would be?" Bra asked.
"I also have a hidden talent, the ability to absorb other people's powers. Of course it takes a long time to do so but now I have all the power I need to take over the world."
"Why would you want to do a thing like that? It's pointless!" Goten said.
"Pointless? Okay. Bored now." Francis said as he fired an attack at them. They all jumped out of the way in time but Pan and Alley were finding it harder to block the attack.
"Grr! This is getting us nowhere!" Alley screamed frustrated. She shut her eyes and snapped her fingers. Her and Pan were both dressed in jumpsuits and tennis shoes. Pan wearing black with her bandana and Alley wearing blue. "That's better!" They both powered up and helped the others. Trunks managed to grab Francis in a full nelson so Goten took the opportunity to kick him repeatedly in the chest. Francis was losing energy fast. **Damn! I never thought it would have to come to this. Desperate times call for desperate measures.** Francis got himself out of the hold and positioned himself above them. He started screaming at the top of his lungs as a white aura enlarged around him. The building eventually blew away leaving nothing but the floor they were standing on.
"AHAHAHAHAHAAA!! IF I HAVE TO DIE AT LEAST I'LL KNOW THAT I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!" Francis shouted.
"Die?! Woah, woah, woah! Who said anything about dying?" Bra asked.
"Once I've finished this attack I will be rid of you. It will slowly rip you apart cell by cell causing unbearable pain to you. It will of course consume me as well but I won't feel anything. Knowing that I've finished some of the most strongest fighters in the universe gives me a sense of pride." Francis said powering up even more.
"Well that's a fine howdy-do! Giving us a boost of confidence before we die." Bra said mockingly. Alley's face paled.
**FLASHBACK**
"Grandpa, how come I'm not allowed to use my psy…psy…my powers? I wanna play with Trunks and Goten!" A 10-year-old Alley asked. Her grandfather sighed.
"Because they're very dangerous. Even a simple teleportation could kill you if you tried it!"
"Mommy didn't use the teleportation thingy so I won't either! All I wanna do is give Trunks a wedgie without having to touch his underpants!" Alley whined. Her grandfather chuckled.
"Listen, I've already lost your mother. I don't wanna lose you as well."
"But that had nothing to do with…"
"With what?"
"Nothing."
"Alley, listen to me. You're not the only one with this sort of power. Many people have it and the effect could be devastating!"
"I know grandpa, you've told me already."
"Good. Now I'll take you to Bulma's, okay?"
"Sure!"
**END FLASHBACK**
"Ho-ly! Everyone quick! Come here!" Alley shouted.
"This isn't really the time for a group hug ya know!" Trunks said.
"Just do it!" Alley said. As they fought the urge to say 'Nike' they obeyed her. She gathered up her chi and formed a chi shield around them. "Now I can explain. One of the few things my grandpa told me about my powers is that many people can have different versions of it. The one I have can only be inherited but the one that Mini Fool has can be learnt."
"Point?" Trunks asked.
"I'M GETTING TO THAT!! Anyways, the attack he is using…he knows that it will destroy the entire Earth and if my guess is right the whole Solar System."
"Are you serious?" Goten said frantically.
"I never joke about these sort of situations. If it weren't for this shield we'd be dead by now."
"Well isn't there a way we can stop it?" Pan asked.
"Not that I know of. But then again I can't think of a brilliant plan when I'm using most of my brain to uphold this shield." She replied. Trunks thought long and hard and finally came up with an idea.
"So what you're saying is that this is a psychic attack? He is using his mind to do this?" Trunks asked thoughtfully. Alley's face lit up with realisation.
"No way in hell Trunks. There is no way!" Alley shouted.
"Think about it! If I could distract…"
"No! You'd die if you go there! When you get out of here your molecular structure would eventually decompose!" Alley said.
"And you took a chemistry degree when?" Trunks said.
"It doesn't matter okay!" Alley said. Trunks went to Pan and gave her a passionate kiss.
"Bye Pan." Trunks said as he flew out of the shield. Goten followed close behind. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Trunks asked.
"Yep." Goten replied.
"FUSION…HA!!" They both screamed as they fused into Gotenks.
"That bastard is smarter than I thought!" Alley said with a smile.
"Oh I get it! With both of them combined they'll be twice as strong!" Bra chirped.
"But I doubt they'll last for long enough." Pan said sadly.
"If they get to distract him for long enough he won't be able to control the attack anymore." Alley said cheerfully.
"But won't that destroy Francis?" Pan asked. Alley remained silent but grinned to show that Pan was right. "How will Gotenks get away from there in time?"
"I have a plan. Don't worry for now." She said as the two younger girls stared at her questionably. Gotenks closed in closer to Francis. He gathered his chi and got ready to fire an attack.
"KA…ME…HA…ME…HA!!" Gotenks shouted as the blast hit Francis. The blast just bounced off Francis but it got his attention.
"Well it looks like I've underestimated you! Don't worry though, you'll be dead soon enough." Francis said narrowing his eyes at Gotenks. Gotenks powered up for another attack.
"This may not work but it may distract him. RENZOKU SHINE SHINE MISSILE!!" Gotenks shouted. The attack surprisingly fazed Francis long enough for him to lose control of the attack. Francis' face grew pale, he swallowed.
"H…how is this possible? I never thought I could lose to a bunch of snot-nosed brats!" Francis said angrily as he slowly combusted. In a flash they were away from the battlefield and in the Capsule Corp back yard. Everyone looked at their surroundings with surprise. Gotenks had returned back into Trunks and Goten.
"How come we're two again?" Goten muttered. He looked around and saw that everyone was fine except Alley. She looked pale.
"Cool! I didn't think it would work this time!" Alley said as she fell from exhaustion. Goten caught her in the nick of time. "Oh hello! I see you've dissolved! Good for you."
"You're a bit out of it aren't you?" Trunks asked.
"Not in the least. Do me a favour, will someone get me a drink?" Alley said. Bra, Pan and Trunks went inside. "Three people, just like in a hotel." Goten slowly set her down on the grass.
"I've been thinking about what you said." Goten started.
"And?" She replied.
"For a while there you were right. Some part of me was filling a void but not the kind that you were talking about. I think every girl I went out with sort of reminded me of you. Whether it was the looks or the personality there was always something missing. I guess a part of me never stopped loving you."
"If that's the case then how come you are engaged to Paris, hmm?" Alley asked.
"You knew about that?!"
"Honey, there aren't a lot of things that I don't know about."
"Wait. You said 'are'."
"So?"
"We were engaged! That was over a year ago."
"Seriously?"
"Yes! Is that why you've been like this? Because you thought I was engaged?"
"Well duh!" Alley replied exasperated. Goten leaned in for a kiss but Alley pointed to the sky. "Oh would you lookit? It's Gohan and Videl! HI GUYS!!" Gohan and Videl touched down and Gohan started panicking.
"Where's Pan? Are you all right? You look like you've just come out of a battle!! Oh hello Alley, long time no see. But if you're here then, OHMIGOSH!!! PAAAAAANNNN!!" Gohan freaked out pacing up and down.
"Take a deep breath dear." Videl said calming Gohan down. "What happened?"
"It's a long story…" Goten started. Trunks and Pan were in the distance making out like there was no tomorrow. "Oy vey!" Goten said. Gohan saw what was going on and decided to 'investigate'. He grabbed Trunks by the neck and held him up against the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER??!" Gohan screamed. Everyone tried to pry him off before Trunks lost the will to breathe. They eventually succeeded.
"Gohan calm down. You've just flown all the way from France. Breath hon." Videl said holding him back, barely. Goku and crew come in to see Gohan being held back, Trunks looking purple, everyone looking as if they had gotten in a really big fight and an extra person.
"What happened here?" Goku said with a grin.
"Hey Goku-san! Long time no see." Alley replied.
About an hour later…
"And that's what happened." Trunks concluded leaving out obvious bits out.
"Ha! I told you!" Goku shouted in Vegeta's ear.
"Okay, okay I heard you! Sheesh! The day when Kakarrot is right about something is the day that shall never be brought up again." Vegeta said.
"But that still doesn't explain why you were kissing my daughter Trunks!" Gohan said menacingly. Trunks put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously. Alley called from the kitchen.
"DINNER'S READY!" It may have well been a stampede the way they had run to the table. Alley just laughed and went to help bring the food. Goten was in the kitchen trying to sneak a taste of the food.
"Hey! That will spoil your appetite. Who am I kidding?" Alley joked as she slapped his hand away from the pasta.
"I think I owe you something for saving our lives back there." He said as he dipped her down and kissed her. She smiled.
**I guess it was a good thing that the attack didn't kill me after all.** Alley thought to herself.
"You mean that attack was suicidal?!" Goten asked frantically.
"AAAHH!! Don't do that!" Alley said startled. "How come you knew what I was thinking?"
"I dunno. Guess that will be another case for Unsolved Mysteries." He said smiling. Chi-Chi and Goku were watching from a distance.
"Doesn't that remind you of someone Goku?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Yep. Of you and me." Goku said kissing Chi-Chi's forehead. "At least all their troubles are behind them."
Back at Abner's place…
Abner sat up from the rubble, his eyes bloodshot, his legs crushed. He looked around him to see that his mansion was gone. He looked upset for a while but then his face took on a crooked smile.
"They call me The Figure. I'm back, I'm back." He sang softly.
