My eyes widened only partially as the thought came to mind. He was going to kill me. And he knew I knew. His smirk was taunting, he wanted to fight…I knew I was no match for him, but maybe I can kill him like I killed Trunks…maybe…The wind picked up, swirling my cape about me. But not his. That irked me a bit, the wind not touching him…A question bubbled up, "H- How…" It came out a hoarse whisper, so I stopped and swallowed, "How did you come back? I know I killed you." I only had to get him talking, distract him just enough, for that one crucial moment…"Oh…well, you didn't kill me to begin with." He paused, considering, thinking, calculating. "My body only went into a state of shock; you noticed maybe, that the knife when you woke was no longer in me, so I thought…" He droned on, perhaps lost in a memory. That was good. Now was my chance, maybe my only one…Nodding my head at the appropriate places in his story, I waited until he paused for a breath…and…reached out, my fingers pressing against his forehead. And—I was there. I could feel his thoughts and emotions. But oh…oh…Maybe I should have thought before I entered his soul. His vile, evil soul. The others' had pure enough souls, but his…Searing pain overtook me the second I entered, evil filth and hatred washing over me in waves. I had to leave…had to- He was laughing. At me. I tried leaving, but something kept yanking me back., I couldn't leave. The pain. Couldn't. I was going in a panic, not something you want to do while in somebody's soul. I tried thinking straight, but my head was buzzing in pain and confusion and panic. I reached out blindly, groping for a pain-nerve. That would be my only hope of getting out. There. I grabbed, and Tyrce lurched a step or two. Movement- nerve wouldn't help me here…reaching, reaching…I couldn't seem to find anything. And I was going to die. In my brother's soul…Grimly, I hope my souls a burden on his…but oh! Oh!! My fingers found it. I grabbed, and yanked hard. My life was dependent on that nerve…but…nothing happened. Why? Why? I jerked the pain-nerve again. Nothing. It must be dead…I fumbled around again. There was always more where one was…always…there had to be. And while all this was happening, his stony laughter rang on…and on…on…on…it was driving me mad. A strand. Strand? Where were the pain- nerves? I pulled at the feeble strand, it was a pain-nerve…only un-formed. This was confusing. But there was hope; I moved back to the movement-nerve and Tyrce started walking. Yes…yes…toward the cliff. If I couldn't get out, we'd die together. But still the laughing rang on. It was a mocking laugh now. But oh, he kept walking. Walking that last mile to our doom. If I hadn't known better I would have said he was delighted…maybe he was…Forward…forward. One more step and we would plummet. Aaaaand- nothing…His stride stopped in mid-air. His voice held the same mockery as his laugh did, "You see? You are nothing compared to me." And then, I was out. Staring at him, my whole body shaking with fright. I unconsciously moved back a few steps, a lot of good that would do…Maybe I could push him off. He can fly. So can I. A hope! I sprang into the air---and fell. I was tired…? I jumped up, gained a few feet and fell. Then I felt what was wrong, a thick block of something was blocking me from using my ki. I could feel it, oh yes, pulsing, but just beyond my reach. I couldn't power up…I couldn't fly…Now I really was going to die. And then…as if the thought summoned him, Tyrce circled smoothly around me and in one smooth motion, whipped out that same blade I used to "kill" him and plunged it deep into my chest. His face not a foot from mine, haughty eyes driven into mine. The pain overwhelmed me…pain? I haven't felt pain in…my thoughts started to get cloudy…Blackness crept up on my sight. Yet still he watched. My head felt stuffed with cotton…my eyes…With the remaining strength I had, I yanked the dagger from me, turned it, and with my last gasp, drove it straight into his throat. Warm blood bathed me as I fell, thought evaporation, eyes blank. My heart…beat…beat…bea-…And all was still…Yet all was not still, a tiny twitch came from Goku, his eyes drifted open…
