Greetings and salutations.  It's getting closer to the end. Thankyou for all the reviews. Much appreciated. Disclaimers on chapter Two.

Here's where it gets mushy.

Belasco sat back in his throne. With Faith gone, his plan to take Shadowcat would be that much more difficult. Still, this Melody Faith had trained would fill in nicely…

A surge of energy got his attention. He turned his attention to earth. A grin appeared on his face. "Well, well, well. Look who survived?" He said. His grin grew. He knew what had to be done. "Gorog, Hear me. Find the one who is most important to her, and destroy them. For in her darkest moment of rage is when I will take her." He watched as Gorog took off to obey his commands. Faith followed. "This time, Slayer, there is no escape."

Goro took off with as much speed as he could. He had to get back to Australia. He knew exactly who kill. All he had to do was make it.

Faith followed. What was he up to? She thought it was going to be a full battle, then the guy just took off, like he had some back up plan. What ever he was up to, he was heading back… Oh God. Trunks! He'd seen her with Trunks! He was going to… "Like hell!" She exploded forward, driving him towards the water. Gorog pulled up just before he hit the water, and kept on his course. Faith dropped right in front of his face, striking out with a devastating blow. Gorog flew back before regaining control. He grinned. The master had been right.

"So, you've figured it out, have you?" He said, calmly. Faith glared at him. Gorog laughed. "You are weak. Your emotions control, dictate you. This is why you will lose." He gathered the flames within him, sending out waves of searing heat. He took off on his course again as Faith recovered. It didn't take her long; she was soon on his tail again. He gazed forward. Soon he would be at his destination. All he had to do was…wait. What was that, coming towards him? It looked like…He grinned. His job just became all the more easier.

Trunks poured on the speed. He had to delivered the message and taken off without waiting for the others. None of them knew what this guy was capable of, and Faith was battling him. Alone. Trunks couldn't leave her without any protection like that.

He peered forward at what seemed to be a fireball coming at him. As he got closer he realized it was that guy from earlier. His hand glowed brighter than ever as he prepared a ki blast. Just a little closer…

"Time to die, Saiyan!" The creature yelled. His mouth opened, a menacing red glow shined from within. A blast of pure hell fore washed over the half-Saiyan. Trunks cried out in pain as every fibre of his being exploded in the flame. He felt himself fall. The last thought on his mind as he died was that Faith would find a way to move on.

And then, darkness.

"TRUNKS!" Faith screamed. She dived down, just barely missing his body as it sank below the waves. Tears flowed from her eyes as she watched his cindered corpse sink out of sight. "No." She breathed. This couldn't be happening, it couldn't end like this. Not Trunks.

"Well, that's that." Gorog said from above. "It's his fault you know, he should have stayed out of it. A pity, though. He might've been a fine warrior, if he'd had the time." The fire breather laughed. Faith floated there, her mind ablaze. Trunks had shown her that she didn't have to fear her dark side, that it no longer controlled her. She had even (go on, admit it) fallen for the time traveller. Now, he was gone. Because of her, because someone had wanted to control her. She slowly turned to face his murderer. He was still laughing. She gathered her power, looking at the demon with hatred.

"You!" She snarled. Gorog looked down at her. She had changed form again. She seemed larger, more muscular. Blue lightening danced around her aura. "You killed him." Tears stained her face as she brought her power to bear. "You're gonna pay. You hear me? I'm gonna make you pay." She launched towards him, showering him with blow after blow. The demon couldn't move away, everywhere he turned, Faith was there, pummelling into him. He tried to hit her with fire, but her mind was so filled with rage, she couldn't feel anything except the breaking of her heart as she watched Trunks burn in her mind, over and over again. She finally put her fist through his chest, ripping out his heart. "Go to hell, you self serving bastard." She said, dropping the heart into the ocean. She watched as he fell as well, a look of shock on his face. She floated there, tears still streaming down her face. "Oh, Trunks, I'm so sorry. You gave me so much, and I couldn't even save you." She let go of her power, falling towards the water. Drowning would be better than living with that pain.

Oh man, the Trunks fans are going to kill me. (Sees fan with knife) Wait calm down, he'll be back, easy, HEY TAKE IT EASY WOULD YA?

Next: Plans and the confrontation you've all been waiting for (well Harry has anyway) as Faith meets her tormentor.

Stay Tuned.

Doc.
