NOTE: thanx again for your reviews, glad you like it! I've got all these
ideas in my head for new chapters, so I keep on writing!! A slightly longer
chapter this time, and the next chapters will be too (so I hope you like to
read a LOT)
And oh yeah… Dragonball Z aint mine (yeah yeah… it's not ours… too bad..)
"Krillin!!!" #18 yelled, but her husband didn't react. It was strange, Krillin stood there, just walking around and calling everybody. He acted as if he was… alone?! Why was he so afraid? If only she wasn't stuck in that tube, then she could help him!! "Krillin, please be careful" she whispered. "Hey, what's going on everybody? What's wrong with Krillin?" Yamcha tried to look at Tien, which was very difficult since he was stuck in the tube beneath him. "I don't know Yamcha," he said. "It's almost as if he thinks we're not there. Maybe it's an illusion?" Goku looked around, trying to Muuri. "Mr Monster??" he yelled. Vegeta looked up, and glared at Goku. "Kakarott, are you out of your mind? What are you trying to do?" Goku grinned. "Relax Vegeta, it's okay. MR MONSTER?? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH KRILLIN? WE DON'T UNDERSTAND!!" he yelled. Muuri appeared in front of his tube.
"What are you yelling, human?" Goku smiled and said; "Well, if we are entering in this tournament, it's only fair that we understand what is going on. I mean, what's wrong with Krillin, is he facing his fears right now?" Muuri frowned. "Can't you do something, I mean, like showing what Krillin sees?" Muuri didn't know what to say. Telepathically he tried and talk to his master. But before he could, the dark voice already sounded. "Son Goku, you are a foolish man for trying to question my tournament rules. But for this one time, only for my amusement I will open a telepathic viewing screen, showing what the challenger sees. Do not ask more of me though!" A big flash, and a big screen appeared, with a bright aura around it. It showed Krillin, in Hell. But the fighting stage was gone. So were all the tubes and the people inside it. THAT'S why he's so scared, he's alone in Hell! Goku thought. "Daddy!!" Marron yelled, but her father didn't hear her. Bulma looked at the young woman and said. "Marron, he can't hear you, he thinks he's alone, and must face his deepest fear." Marron looked at Bulma with tears in her eyes. "But what is his greatest fear?"
Krillin walked up to a mountain. "Hello??" he kept yelling. Suddenly he saw somebody flying by. "GOKU!" he yelled, starting to smile. Then he notices Vegeta passing too. "Vegeta, I've never been so happy to see you!" Then he saw Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Bra and Pan and Uubu too. "You guys!! What has happened. I was about to face my challenge and then everything was gone. I'm glad to see you though!!" he kept on rambling. But his friends didn't stop. They were all flying away from him, ignoring him. "Hey!!" he yelled, following them. They landed near a crater. Krillin landed too and walked up to Goku. "What's going on?" he asked. Goku smiled, but something wrong. He looked… evil. But it's Goku!! He can't be evil.. He looked at Piccolo and Vegeta, they all had an evil look on their face, just like Piccolo had before he trained Gohan and Vegeta had before … well, he always had kind of an evil look. "All right you guys. Fun is over, you're really starting to freak me out.." he laughed nervously. He looked at the next generation, and they all had the same evil look.
Trunks opened his mouth. "It's like you've always said, Dad. Krillin is a weakling. He's slowing us down, always making jokes at the wrong time. He's pathetic." Bra nodded. Pan smiled wickedly. "Yeah, I think we should just leave him here, to rot in Hell. We're always getting him out of trouble, let's see if he can manage himself. Right Dad?" she looked at Gohan who laughed. "Right Panny. I can't believe this guy was my friend, he is such an ass. He is just so 'weak'!! I mean, what use is he to us? Father?" Goku walked up to Krillin, who couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Yes my son, you are right. I thinks we should see if Krillin can take this Venom guy alone.. let's go everybody." Before he turned around Goku smiled an punched Krillin in the stomach. Krillin felt the pain, but he was so confused he didn't really care. His friends.. were abandoning him? Why?! As he saw Goku take off he turned to Goten and Uubu, who looked at him with disgust. "Come on Uubu, this isn't fun at ALL!" Uubu nodded and grinned. "I can't believe this, he is a real coward, a fool, a pathetic moron. Loser.." he added. Uubu took off. Krillin didn't know what to say. Uubu had never talked this way. Why did they do this. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"18!!" Krillin smiled. #18 looked at him with cold eyes. She didn't smile, she just looked at him. "Honey, what's going on, why did they leave us here behind??" #18 smiled. "They didn't leave us here Krillin." "They didn't?" #18 shook her head. "They left YOU behind, I'm coming with them. What?" she said when she saw Krillin's eyes widen. "You just assumed I would stay behind and save your sorry ass? No way dear, you have got to sort things out for yourself. Try not to run away in panic this time okay? You're so lame when you do that.." she said and walked off. He tried to go after her, but she walked much faster. It almost was as if he walked in slow-motion. "#18!! Please don't go!!" He didn't understand. He was alone.. again.
"I don't understand it." Gohan said. He looked at #18 but she was too busy watching Krillin. "Why are we saying these things Dad? Why is Krillin thinking this?" Goku didn't know. Was is best friend afraid of them? No, he was afraid they would leave them.. why would he think that? Goku closed his eyes. 'Krillin' he yelled inside his head.
"Goku?!" Krillin looked up but saw nobody. But he was sure he heard Goku's voice. "Where are you Goku?!" he yelled.
Goku concentrated. Piccolo understood what he was doing and jumped in. 'We're still here, Krillin!' he said telepathically.
"Piccolo!!" Krillin cheered. But still he saw no one.
Piccolo continued. 'My friend. It's an illusion, you think we're leaving you. But we are still here. Just think! You have always been very important to us! This is all a test, he is using your fears! You are not alone!!' Goku opened his eyes and smiled at Piccolo. Then he concentrated again. 'Piccolo's right. Think about it Krillin, #18 would never leave you! And we will always be there for you, to help you out!"
Krillin suddenly realised it wasn't possible that everyone left him behind. It had to be an illusion. They would never leave him, and especially #18. He had thought about it though. Afraid that he was too weak and that his friends would get annoyed. And he had been afraid that #18 didn't love him.. BUT THAT WAS IT! That were his deepest fears. He now knew for sure, this wasn't really happening. It were his fears coming true. "I get it!" he said out loud.
'That's it Krillin, you can do it!" Goku said. "NO!" Muuri appeared in front of Goku again with an angry look on his face. "There will be no contact with the competitor, you are a fool to try so. FROM NOW ON YOU MUST OBEY THE MASTERS WILL! FOOLS! DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN SABOTAGE THIS TOURNAMENT! YOU'RE FRIENDS MUST FACE THEIR CHALLENGES ALONE!! THERE WILL BE NO MORE TELEPATHY. YOUR MIND IS BANNED FROM LEAVING THE TUBE!!" he said. Goku realised he couldn't reach Krillin anymore, or anybody else. He sighed. Krillin was on his own again. But at least he understood now.
"Goku? Piccolo?" They were gone. Again. But he knew now, that this was his challenge. He could face his fears. He could beat them. But how? He realised it, but what did he have to do? He decided to fly for a bit, exploring the area. Were they all watching him right now? He thought. Suddenly, something bumped against him. He looked up, and saw Goku, but he knew this was the wrong one. This was evil Goku. "Get out of my way, I'm not listening to you" Krillin said. Goku laughed. "You'd better, shorty. I am your ultimate challenge. Try and defeat me, it's the only way you'll get out of here." He took a fighting stand. Krillin frowned. He could be telling the truth. Was he supposed to fight his best friend? But this wasn't his best friend, but an evil clone. But still, should he fight him? It was Goku, and he was A LOT stronger. Krillin kept on pondering, and Goku began to laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! you are truly a coward, you think too much tiny one. You hesitate, as always. This is one of you countless weaknesses. HAHAHAHAHA!" he continued. Krillin took a step back, and tried to think. The Goku just kept on laughing, with that evil look on his face. I must try this. Krillin thought. "Pitiful human, you are SO weak!! HAHAHAHA…OEF!!!!" the Goku fell back.
Krillin flew up and thought to himself: 'he is not that strong.. I feel it.. I can beat him.. Here goes nothing!' he sighed and threw a eneryblast at the Gokum, who just crawled back up and could not dodge the blast. "Noo!! You are not strong enough, I should be able to handle you!!" he said as he flew towards Krillin, ready for attack. Krillin blocked his punch, and his kicks. Then he flew back a bit and cupped his hands. He yelled slowly: "KAAAA…MEEEE…HAAAA…MEEEEE…" he aimed his hands and released the well-known attack. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the wave fully hit Goku. He fell down on the ground and couldn't get back up again. His evil grin disappeared as Krillin flew towards him. Fear showed in his eyes. "Master.." he whispered. "MASTER!! NOOO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING; THIS SHOULD BE EASY!! HELP ME !! PLEA…" Krillin placed a kick in his face. "There.." he said. The Goku was knocked out, and suddenly changed. Krillin frowned. Goku didn't look like Goku anymore. The being was just .. a shadow.
"That' a shadow, a fallen creature from Hell!" Dende said. He then frowned. "He's using fallen creatures to aid him in this tournament. He uses them to mislead people? I did not expect that.." he said to himself. Mr. Popo looked at his master, with tears in his eyes. "Ooooh.. I can't stand this excitement. This is all so scary, poor Krillin.." he said. Dende looked at him with a little smile. "Come on Popo. He has defeated him. Krillin isn't in danger anymore.. at least, for now."
Popo nodded.
The tubes appeared again. Krillin stood in the middle of the arena and could see all of his friends. He saw the tribune, and his daughter. She cried, but smiled too. "Daddy!! I'm so proud!!" she yelled. He smiled too, and then looked up at the tubes. He tried to find his wife. "Over here Krillin" he heard her soft voice say. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw his wife with a smile on her face. "You got me worried there.." she said. "Eh.." he said with a smile. "You know me.." He was lifted by an invisible force. It brought him empty place between the tubes and before he knew it, he was trapped again inside a tube. He looked to the tube next to him. Goku was in there. He grinned. "Heya buddy, never knew you had these fears.." Krillin shrugged. "I don't have them anymore!! That's for sure!" Goku smiled. "Good to see you back in one peace."
Shirai was pushed back by her master. "I am sorry, my lord. I thought I did what you asked of me.." she said softly, while placing her hands on his back. He growled. "Get away from me slave.. not now. Krillin has passed the test." Shirai frowned. "But how can that.." "SILENCE WOMAN!" he yelled. Shirai jumped back. "I did not ask for your reaction. I am not concerned at all, if that's what you think. I am merely curious about the next contestants." Shirai sighed. "MUURI!" her master yelled. Muuri appeared in the room. "Master?" he said. The dark voice said: "The next six contestants are up. Enlarge the arena, to make sure that they can be tested at the same time. You know who to choose. Let's speed this round up.." Muuri kneeled, then looked up at Shirai. Shirai growled softly at him, and then noticed he was staring at her breasts. Her grey skin darkened, she was blushing. With a single movement she placed her hair in front of her breasts. She glared at him and turned her face away. Muuri realised he was staring and quickly left, afraid of his masters reaction. She was the master's pleasure slave. He was jealous at her position, she was allowed to be near him, and to benefit of his powers. He had to satisfy his master in other ways, more difficult to accomplish. He HATED Shirai, and she hated him. "Slave.." he heard his master say. Shirai looked up. "Yes my lord?" she said while moving closer to him. "Proceed.. and do not talk this time.." Shirai nodded and closed her eyes.
Muuri appeared in the arena. He raised his hands and the ground started to shake. The arena became larger, the tubes were pushed back, so they could see the fighting grounds well. He looked at the trapped people and grinned. "THE ONE CALLED KRILLIN HAS PASSED; AS YOU SEE. DO NOT THINK YOU ALL WILL. HE HAD..SOME HELP..AND THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. HE WAS ALSO JUST AN EXAMPLE; FROM NOW ON EACH TIME 6 PEOPLE WILL ENTER THE RING. NOT ALL SHALL BE TESTED THOUGH. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO FEARS OR DESIRES; WHO HAVE A STRONG MIND. THEY WILL FACE THE CHALLENGE IN BATTLE; WHICH WILL FOLLOW NEXT ROUND." He stopped and looked up.
Piccolo smirked. "His master knows it's a waist of time to put everyone to the test. I am sure some of us won't need a test." The Z-fighters looked at him. "Who do you think won't need it Piccolo?" Gohan asked. "I am sure you don't Gohan. And Goku and Vegeta and I shall not be tested I think." Goku nodded. "But the weaker amongst us, will be tested. Of that I am sure. And I believe that Venom will also test the younger warriors, like you, Trunks, Goten, Bra, Pan and Pan." They gulped. "Yes," he continued. "I think we have nothing to worry, as long as we don't have any mind struggles." His eyes crossed Vegeta's, who looked away.
From the other side of the arena, Dende was thinking. "King Kai, what do you think?" he asked. King Kai, who had heard what Piccolo said nodded. "I think he makes a good point. I am quite sure that Venom doesn't want to eliminate the Z-warriors in the first round. He wants amusement, and a good fight will give him that." "So that's why he won't test Goku, Gohan and the others" Supreme Kai continued. "He wants to see them fight." King Kai nodded. Before they could talk further, Muuri's voice sounded.
"THE NEXT CONTESTANTS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN; THEIR TUBES WILL DISAPPEAR NOW!" he yelled. And with those words, six tubes disappeared. Six warriors fell down, two of them were well known. Yamcha and Tien landed on the floor. They looked at each other, before the arena disappeared. They were up next.
YEAH!!!! Finally finished!! Didn't take long, but it was very hard to write this one. So please tell me what u think of it!!!!! PLEASE REVIEW!! I LOVE REVIEWS!! I'LL READ YOUR STORIES; IF YOUR R&R MINE!! Thank u…. until the next chapter!!
Oh yeah…next chapter: Yamcha and Tien are being confronted with their desires and fears. The test doesn't take long, as it's quite clear that one of them isn't capable of defeating his mental conflicts. Which one of them is going to loose? Who will continue to the next round? And after that, who are up to face their challenges also? … you'd better read the next chapter (It's all inside my head right now!!)
And oh yeah… Dragonball Z aint mine (yeah yeah… it's not ours… too bad..)
"Krillin!!!" #18 yelled, but her husband didn't react. It was strange, Krillin stood there, just walking around and calling everybody. He acted as if he was… alone?! Why was he so afraid?

Goku grinned. "Relax Vegeta, it's okay. MR MONSTER?? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH KRILLIN? WE DON'T UNDERSTAND!!" he yelled. Muuri appeared in front of his tube.

The test doesn't take long, as it's quite clear that one of them isn't capable of defeating his mental conflicts. Which one of them is going to loose? Who will continue to the next round? And after that, who are up to face their challenges also? … you'd better read the next chapter (It's all inside my head right now!!)
