(A/N: Okay, I've got to ask, what the fuck is going on with the new way to upload?!! I signed in today and it had all of this freaky new stuff on the left column!! Oh well. -_-;; Anyways, I apologize if this chapter is somehow screwed up due to the *new* way to upload things. *sigh* Stupid Xing and his screwing up this site...read on....*gripes*....)

*******

The four of them, the pure and the corrupt, stood there silently until the Mistress made her first move. She walked over to Goten and kneeled down so that they were, once again, face to horrible face.

She spoke softly, a new thing for her. "Little shit, do you love your brother?"

He answered her confidently. "Yes."

She patted him on the head. "Good answer."

With lightning speed she was over to Gohan and was lifting him off the ground by his neck, chains and all, he still not being fully recovered from losing his energy.

"So 'ya won't mind if I kill him, will 'ya?"

Gohan was trying to grip at the hands around his neck, "I thought you said you weren't going to kill me!!"

She smirked. "I lied."

Her snicker only increased as she watched him struggle against her grasp. Usagi was about to kick her teeth in (or at least something to that extent), but Mistress 9 began powering up for Vegeta's Big Bang attack.

Mistress 9 leered at her. "Try anything and I'll kill him on the spot."

Usagi backed away. Mistress 9 smiled and looked back at Gohan.

"Now, I'll save your miserable little life and take those terrible chains off you....but only if you let me have her."

Usagi's eyes widened.

He wouldn't say yes would he? No of course he wouldn't....he wouldn't.....he wouldn't....would he?

Gohan looked Mistress 9 dead in the eye. "Go ahead, I don't care. Do whatever you want with her, just get these Goddamn chains OFF of me!!" he said, his voice in a small combination of a whimper and a whine, only the kind that a dog could make.

Chibiusa stood with her mouth wide open for a couple of seconds.

Is he serious?

She looked at the expression on his face. He was.

Mistress 9 pecked his cheek. "That's a good pet."

The shackles around his wrists disappeared, but reappeared on Goten's. Mistress 9 just didn't like that kid. He was the only one who had ever come close to beating her, and it stuck in her mind. She hated it, hated him. Goten struggled to get out of the cuffs, but couldn't. They too were made out of Golden Crystal.

Mistress 9 turned around towards Usagi, leaving the now free Gohan behind her; a big fat mistake.

Usagi couldn't believe it. She had gone through hell just to find him again, and now he was dropping her like a sack of potatoes to save his own neck. She couldn't even look at him. She had trusted him, given her virginity to him, LOVED him, and he just.....didn't care. She tried to wipe away her pity tears as Mistress 9 approached her, no escape.

Can't run now Usagi can you?

And then, just before Mistress 9 was about to claim her life, all of her faith in love was restored. Gohan had nearly decapitated the witch as he laid a punch in the back of her neck.

But of course he didn't stop there.

He riddled her body with ki blasts until her body finally collapsed. But he still wasn't letting her off, not after the Hell she had put him through, put his family through.

He picked her up by her hair so that their faces were level. "You think you're so smart Mistress, but you can't even tell when someone is bullshitting, can you?"

Then he threw her back down on the floor, the tile scraping her chin. He waited until she tried to get back up again so that he could torture her some more. He wanted to make her pay. He let her get up one last time before he unleashed a final wave of ki that completely exploded her chest.

She was dead....at least that's what he thought....what they all thought...

He stepped over her dismembered body to wrap his arms around a stunned Usagi, currently forgetting his brother in chains.

"I'm so sorry, I had to make her believe that I didn't care, and I-"

"Just shut up Gohan," whispered Usagi, hugging him back.

They were holding each other so tightly though, that neither one of them noticed that the Ginzushou that was around Usagi's neck had fallen and clattered to the ground...

Goten sat there with his eyes wide open. It wasn't Gohan and Usagi's semi-public affection he was staring at, (although it was a site to see), but at the mangled body of Mistress 9.

Is she moving?

Yes she was. All of Gohan's efforts were for vain, she was still alive. As long as her head was still attached, she could rebuild herself from nothing. Goten watched in horror as her crypt-like hand made a move for the Ginzushou that had fallen on the floor.

"Guys!! She's still alive!!"

He would do something himself if these stupid chains weren't holding him down. Gohan and Usagi stopped and paled as they saw Mistress 9 standing upright, tossing and catching the Ginzushou in her hand.

"Lookin' for something?" she chuckled with a lick of her black lips.

And then they saw something that any other organism would choke to death doing: she swallowed the Ginzushou whole.

Gohan gripped Usagi's hand as Mistress 9's body began to waver, ripple.

And then she ultimately exploded.

It wasn't like when people spontaneously combust, there wasn't blood and gore everywhere, but a dark, black mist began to quickly sift all around them, like a fog. It spread through Elysian and the rest of the world too, covering, consuming everything it touched. And then the trio looked about them. Goten's chains had melted off, and they found that they were no more in wonderland.

They were on the surface of the Earth, and the world was in Hell. But, to be more specific, the world was inside Pharaoh 90.....
