Well, sorry about the delay on Chapter 3, but after the events here in NYC, I haven't felt much like writing. But, as everyone is saying, we've got to get on with our lives. And, Trunks and Goten have to get on with being tormented! It's almost Halloween! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
It was morning and Chi Chi was preparing breakfast for the boys when she heard a knock at the door. "Just a minute," she said. She walked over and opened the door. There stood 18 looking ragged. "What's wrong?" Chi Chi said. "Krillin's dead," said 18. "He was killed in his sleep." She began to cry.
Now, 18, Chi Chi, Bulma, Vegeta and Gohan were sitting in the living room. All had decided it was better if Trunks and Goten stayed outside. When Vegeta heard of Krillin's death, he just folded his arms. But, inside he was saddened. Krillin may not have been the strongest guy in the world, but he had a warrior's heart. Vegeta remembered how Krillin spared his life back in the days when Vegeta was a real prick. He also remembered how they fought together on Namek. He and Krillin weren't exactly friends, but Vegeta had a great deal of respect for him. Vegeta also felt anger. He wouldn't let this cowardly killing of a good warrior go unpunished. It was a matter of respect.
"So, he died in his sleep?" Gohan said. "No," 18 said, "He was KILLED in his sleep!" "I believe you," Vegeta said. "Something very strange is going on. Last night was the first night the kids didn't have nightmares. It's probably because this guy was, uh, busy with Krillin." "What are you guys talking about?" Gohan said. "How can someone actually hurt people in their dreams. It's not possible." "After all the shit we've been through," Vegeta began, "how can you say you don't believe anything?" Gohan said, "So, what do we do about it?" "We'll just have to watch ourselves very carefully until we think of something," Vegeta said.
Goten lay in bed that night, scared to go to sleep. But, it was almost 12 AM, and he and Trunks knew they had to both be asleep to put their plan into effect. Goten was in bed with Gohan, and he knew Trunks would be in bed with Bulma and Vegeta. But, no adult could protect them. He and Trunks were going to "meet" each other at 1AM, and they hoped their plan worked. Goten closed his eyes and went into a deep meditation. He was asleep in a few minutes. He was walking through a dark alleyway. "Trunks!" he called. "Trunks!" But, there was no Trunks. "Goten!" a devilish voice yelled back. "Goten!" Goten knew it wasn't Trunks. Around the corner came Freddy. "Tonight's the night," Freddy said. "I gained a lot of power from your friend, and I'll gain even more from you two. But, there real power is in the adults. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta. I can't get to them without you and your friend. I need you two to get to the adults." "You killed Krillin!" Goten yelled. "You can to kill adults!" "I only got Krillin because he was a kid I missed. Wanna say hi?" Freddy lifted up his shirt and Krillin's tiny head was screaming for help, like the scene at the end of the original "Fly." "Help me! Help me!" screamed Krillin. "No!" Goten began to cry. "TRUNKS, WHERE ARE YOU???"
Trunks was trying his hardest to get to sleep. He was thinking of telling his father about the plan, but he didn't think his dad would approve. From somewhere distant, Trunks heard Goten yelling. Trunks squeezed his eyes shut. He was late. He concentrated harder than he ever had before.
Goten was so terrified by seeing Krillin that he was temporarily stunned. Freddy drew back his hand, ready to strike, when something blocked it. Suddenly, Freddy was swinging through the air. "WHOA" Freddy yelled. Trunks let go of his hand and Freddy flew through the brick wall at the far end of the alley. "Take that, bastard!" Trunks said. Goten was so glad to see his friend that he ran up and gave him a big hug. The plan had worked. They were in the dream together. "Come on, Goten," Trunks began, "let's do this and finish this jerk." Both boys took a few steps apart. Freddy was pissed, and had just gotten to his feet when he saw the kids doing some strange kind of dance. "What the hell?" he thought. "FUSHION!!!!!!" Both the boys yelled, and suddenly Freddy was blinded by a bright light. When it cleared, Freddy saw a new kid standing there. "COOOOOOOL!!!!!!" Freddy said. "There's no way you can beat us now," Gotenks said. "Your rain of terror is over!" "Oh, really," Freddy said. "My 'rain' of terror is just beginning." Suddenly, it began to rain blood in the dream world. "Gross!" Gotenks said. Gotenks stuck out his hand and shot an energy blast at Freddy. It went right through his chest. Freddy howled in pain. He staggered back several feet. "Kamikaze Ghost Attack!" Suddenly, little white ghosts were flying at Freddy. They began to rip Freddy apart! Freddy howled and screamed as he was torn limb from limb. When there were only a few bits of him left, the ghosts exploded, turning what was left of Kruger to ash! "YES!" Gotenks yelled. "It's over!" Gotenks struck a pose and was grinning. That is, until, he felt an unbelievable pain in the top of his head. Gotenks let out a bloody scream as the ax cut him in half down the middle. In a heap, Gotenks split in two and both halves fell to either side. The blood, guts and organs fell in a heap from the middle of the split. Freddy, now decked out in a lumberjack outfit, began to laugh. "Timber!" he yelled. Suddenly, the two halves of Gotenks began to change. On one side was Trunks, and on the other was Goten. "We're alive!" Trunks said. "I can't believe it!" But, just then, Freddy grabbed both boys by the hair. He carried them over to a wall where two giant meet hooks were dangling. "This is going to REALLY fucking hurt!" Freddy warned. He impaled both the boys, back first, onto the hooks. Goten and Trunks screamed in agony. "I'll just keep you two here until someone more powerful comes," Freddy said. "Then, it's triple homicide time!!!" Freddy began to laugh.
Vegeta was awakened by his son screaming. He and Bulma began shaking Trunks. "Wake up, boy!" Vegeta yelled. "Wake up!" Bulma yelled. But, Trunks wouldn't wake up. They tried water, loud noises,
everything. Vegeta was horrified as he
realized that his son was not only in a comma, but was dying. "Let him go, motherfucker!!!!" Vegeta
screamed. "Let him go!" And, suddenly, cuts began forming on Trunks'
chest. Bulma screamed and Vegeta looked
in horror as the cuts began to form a sentence. "COME AND GET HIM, PRICK!"
