Hola! Welcome back to Time Can Only Tell! I'm working my way to the end of this story, but I'm going slowly so that they will still be good. That and there is way too much homework......mucho tarea in Spanish. I enjoy putting up the Spanish words; I think it adds a little something to the story. Well, anyway, enough of that. Onto the next chapter!

Time Can Only Tell

Chapter 11: Time to Kill

The soft glistening breezes of Kaioshin-kai still blew light, but true. Everything looked the same as always. However, the scent of fear lingered in the air all around Shadow Infinity. She basked in their terror, enjoying every succulent moment of it. How she loved scaring people so.

She slightly applied a little of her power, making the wind loose it's luster and surround her. Silvery locks of hair flew every which way as the wind swirled around her.

Shadow Infinity smirked. If only she knew who to kill first. That would be the hardest decision to make.

*Hmm........*

Facts about all of them ran through her devious mind. Kakarott, or the one otherwise known as Son Goku would be an enjoyable challenge indeed. Yes, perhaps he should be the first to go.

Shadow Infinity sneered. Yes, she would get this so called strongest man in the universe out of her way first so that she could relish killing the others.

*Hmm.....he is already dead though.......... Oh well, that is not a large problem.*

Then, to Shadow Infinity's utter surprise, he stepped up, silently volunteering to fight her first.

*What a brave fool!*

He surely knew how much power she had. She wondered why he wished to fight her first. Did he think that she could not harm him because he was already dead.

He should know that there are much worse things than death.

Shadow Infinity leered at the thought of what she would do with him. In her sly manner, she snuck into his head unnoticed. She snickered out loud.

"Don't you know that you will meet a worse fate than your son? There is no use in avenging him. He had no significance. The boy was of little worth. You should be happy that I put him out of his misery."

*~*~*~*~*

Now, Goku was usually a pretty nice guy. He could put up with comments about his stupidity and appetite. Hell, he even put up with all of the crap that Vegeta said and pulled on him. But nobody, NOBODY, said that about his son.

She was going down, one way or another.

He felt his hair stiffen and grow as his rage allowed him to quickly ascend to Super Saiya-jin 3. He screamed as the power flowed through his veins.

After watching Shadow Infinity kill Gohan in cold blood, Goku had absolutely no mercy for Shadow Infinity. There was nothing more that he wanted right now than her head on a platter.

When he was finally at his absolute maximum, he charged. No, there would be no forgiveness this time. No pity at all.

*~*~*~*~*

She watched as he charged her. Shadow Infinity yawned. She hadn't expected him to be this slow. Though to a normal human eye, he was going faster than the speed of light, to Infinity, he seemed to be going in slow motion. Every time he twitched, she saw it. Her knowledge told her exactly how he was going to attack.

And so, with little effort, she took one hand and slammed it into his face. A crunching noise was heard, and he forcefully flew away from her, smashing into a nearby tree, going clear through it and the next few cliffs that stood in his way.

Shadow Infinity just stood where she had been for the last few minutes as if nothing had happened at all. After a few more minutes she lifted her hand up to her face and looked at it. There was blood all over it. Kakarott's blood.

Her mouth formed into it's ever-so-familiar smirk. What would she do with this powerful stranger? Perhaps she'd eat his spirit. Then his power would be hers.

Not that she needed it. Winning was coming quite easily. Since he was truly the strongest being in the universe, Shadow Infinity was not going to have any trouble defeating him.

Then the universe would be completely hers to destroy at will. Ah, yes, that would be fun indeed.

*~*~*~*~*

Kaioshin felt weak. His knees gave out under him and he fell to the ground, in a state of pure shock.

Never in his life had he ever sensed such power as that of Son Goku. It was amazing! And then, Shadow Infinity took him down without straining herself.

*Dear universe......... There is just too much power in her....... There is no hope now.*

He now snapped out of his state to hear Kibito asking him if he was all right in a rather alarmed manner. Quickly, he pulled himself together as well as he could and stood up shakily.

"I.......I'm fine Kibito." He lied, though he knew that his bodyguard would not buy that answer.

*You must have hope master. If you do not, then who will?*

Kaioshin thought this over. It was true. If he, the deity of all deities could not believe that they'd all make it through, than there was no hope at all. He must think positive thoughts.

*Thank you Kibito. You are correct.*

The Kaioshin actually mustered out a smile for his friend. And it was at that exact second in time that Kibito fell over. Dead.

*~*~*~*~*

The expression on the Dai Kaioshin's face was truly priceless. He had found some sort of hope, only to have her take it away from him.

"I never did like Kibito." She stated, "And he was wrong too. There is no hope at all."

With this stated, Shadow Infinity cackled, overjoyed that she had killed a second victim. That Kakarott was not dead yet, amazingly. She could sense him trying to piece himself together for another round.

*Very well. Hurry up Kakarott. I haven't got all millennium.*

She peered back down at the Kaioshin. He looked as if he was about to weep over that idiotic bodyguard of his. He had been killed quite nicely. There was blood everywhere. Plus, Kaioshin's thoughts were back to ones without hope.

*Much better. Now I just have to dispose of that Kakarott and the old geezer.........*

And that's exactly what she began to do.
