Revenge Is Sweet
Part IX

Deas shot a yellow blast at Gohan who dodged it.

This is going to get rough.

Gohan looked at his little brother who was watching Gohan and Deas diligently and waiting to help. Gohan almost smiled, but Deas charged at him.


Goten may have to leave

Knowing his younger brother could fend for himself, Gohan powered up even more.

"Impressive." Deas said, clapping.

"Shut up and fight."

"You're quite cocky for a dead man."

Deas suddenly appeared behind Gohan and smashed him into the ground. Goten heard his brother's back crack.

"NOOOO!" Goten yelled, running to the hole in the ground where his brother now lay motionless.

"Gohan, wake up. Please wake up..." Goten pleaded.

Goten could hear Deas's cruel laugh. It brought tears to his eyes.

"Gohan..." His voice cracked as Gohan lifted his head and got up.

Gohan's breathing came in short raspy breaths, Goten noted, but at least he was breathing.

"You in for one more round?" Deas mocked as Gohan readied himself.

"It's not a good idea. You're like a sitting duck now." Deas kept mocking him.

"Shut...up...and...fight..." Gohan managed. He was slowly regaining his strength.

But Deas, now having the upper hand smashed Gohan into a nearby hillside.

"GOHAN!" Goten screamed.

Deas began laughing again.

Goten flew over to where Gohan landed.

"Gohan please tell me you'll be OK."

Gohan lazily opened one eye. "Yeah, I'll be good little bro."

Goten breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. I was afraid I would have to fight that guy."

Gohan's expression turned serious at Goten's remark.

"You will."

"WHAT?"

"I can't keep this up much longer. You'll have to finish it. I don't know what he did to me, but it hurts."

"Gohan, I'm not as strong as you and Daddy."

"Sure you are." Gohan said pulling himself out of the hill. Gohan put his hand on Goten's shoulder.

"Promise?"

"Yep. Now, let's go make Deas pay for what he did to Mom. Kay?"

"Kay!" Goten sang happily and flew back over to the still laughing Deas.

"So, you're still alive. I was afraid I had killed you. I don't want that just yet." Deas said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Gohan had regained his strength by now and was ready for Deas.

They exchanged punches, and blast until finally they both stopped and stood on opposite side.

"This game you're playing is getting rather boring. How can I make it more lively? Ah! I know." Deas smiled and prepared a large ki ball in his hands.

"Get ready..." Deas chuckled.

Meanwhile...

Goku opened one eye. He tried to focus, but his vision was doing the exact opposite. He saw two figures, one short and one tall. He saw another figure, short and plump. And...orange.

It's that guy.
Goku concluded The one that was Reyu's sidekick.

He looked down in his arms. Chichi lay unconscious in them. He was glad he saved her though. He shifted her so he could see the figures better then looked at her again. She may have been beaten and bloody, but Goku didn't care.

I'm sorry Chichi. I'm truly sorry. I should have been there. For all the times you've been there for me, I failed to save you. I'm sure I could have, but I didn't. And I'm sorry.

Goku looked at the orange figure. He was becoming clearer. Goku could see something yellow in his hands.

Not again...

"'You thought you could win?" Deas asked while the ki ball grew larger.

"You can kill me, and it will save you." Deas remarked

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What I'm talking about, Mr. Scholar, is that I will rid you of a burden."

"What?"

"Do you hate to study?"

"Sometimes."

"Do you hate your Mom?"

"No." Gohan looked at Deas, disgusted. Does anyone have any respect anymore?

"Yes, you do." Deas insisted with an evil smile forming across his lips.

"No, I don't hate her." Gohan told him.

Deas looked at his ki ball and knowing it was large enough threw it.

"Well, now I guess you are going to have to hate me."

"What makes you think I like you?"

"Nevermind."

"Hn."

"Say bye-bye!" Deas sang as he fired the ki blast.

It passed Gohan and sped towards Chichi and Goku.

"DAD!" Gohan called. But Goku had passed out.

"SHIT!"

Gohan and Goten flew to protect their mother, both knowing it was probably too late...
