Chapter 6:

Death

Goku leapt inside Gohan's room, terrified that Freddy could have gotten
there first. Much to his surprise, Gohan was doing fine, and was still
sleeping. Goku stood there, looking at his son, and wondering why he felt
that something was wrong. A high energy signal came into the area, and Goku
left the room to investigate. Chi-Chi asked him what had happened, and he
replied that it was nothing, but not to go to sleep. Goku then headed
outside.

Trunks landed about fifty feet away from Goku's home, and began to walk
towards it. When he was twenty feet away, the door opened, and Goku came
out.

"Hello, Goku...nice to see you. My mother says that you visited Vegeta...and
that he was injured in his sleep. What happened?"
"No time to explain now, just don't under any circumstances go to sleep."
"Umm...ok. Can I speak with Gohan for a minute?"

"He must have gone nuts!" thought Trunks. "Not wanting us to sleep...what
the hell is wrong with him?...Maybe he's been drinking, Gohan would know..."

Goku and Trunks reentered the house, and walked towards Gohan's room. They
entered, and Goku was relieved to see Gohan still asleep. However, he still
felt that something was very wrong...Goku walked towards Gohan and shook
him, announcing that Trunks wanted to talk to him. Gohan didn't wake up.
Trunks then shook him, and checked his pulse. Although he was completely
alive, Gohan could not wake up. Then Goku realized what was happening.

"Trunks...I want you to go back home as soon as possible. Tell your
grandfather to hook up the old sleep control machine...We need to be able to
wake up from this. I'll go see Vegeta, so that we can find Maxine. We have
to stop Freddy...Now go! We have to get Gohan back up as soon as possible!"
"Uh...have you been drinking?"
"FUCKING GO!!!!!"
"Ok, ok...sorry!...cranky old bastard"

The last comment was added under his breath, but Goku naturally caught it.
After approximately three seconds, Trunks was on the floor begging for
mercy. Then it hit Goku. He stood up, and turned to look at Gohan. He was
moving now, slowly rising into the air, a look of horror on his sleeping
face. Goku leapt forwards, but was blasted back by an invisible force. Gohan
continued to rise, and was nearly at the ceiling. Then a small red line
developed down his face. A moment later, Gohan had been torn apart, his body
parts and organs hurled across the room. He was completely dead, with his
head lying in three pieces in his bed. Trunks screamed, spewing vomit out of
his mouth. Goku simply stood where he was, mouth open in shock.

ChiChi was cooking food for dinner when she heard the scream. She walked
towards the door to Gohan's room, and opened it. Within seconds, she had
passed out. Goten came to see what was the matter, and discovered the many
pieces of his brother, along with his fainted mother. He looked in rage at
Goku and Trunks, and then dashed to a telephone. Within minutes a police crew
had arrived and taken Goku and Trunks into custody.

"Fuck you, Goku...Mom is gonna kill me!"
"You have far worse things to worry about than that, Trunks...we have to
stay awake. Is there any way we can tell Bulma?"
"Yes...our phone call. You go tell her what needs to be said when we arrive
at the police station"


Vegeta was in pain, more pain than he had ever imagined possible. He would
get that bastard Freddy...and make him pay for what had happened. After
thinking for several minutes, he had an idea. Vegeta closed his eyes and
fell asleep.

He awoke near the playground, the awful place where Freddy kept the souls of
those he killed. Several children were playing on it. Vegeta gasped upon
recognizing the child form of Gohan. "So the bastard got him...and turned
him into a kid, like the others.", thought Vegeta. He advanced towards the
assembled children.

"Gohan...what happened?"
"A bunch of bug like things attacked me, and then this guy levitated me...the
bugs tore me apart. Where are we?"
"This is where the man who levitated you keeps those he has killed...You are
one of his victims. We're gonna have to kill him somehow, or the world is
doomed. I'll work on warning those who are still alive, you tell the ones
here."
"Very well...this sucks ass"
"Correct...I'd best be going, he'll find me here..."
"Goodbye, Vegeta..."

Vegeta turned, and walked off the playground. He was heading for the well of
souls, where he assumed he could find Maxine. A figure materialized in front
of him...Freddy was back.

"Vegeta...nice to see you! How are your injuries?"
"Fuck you...get out of my way!"
"Still hostile? Shame on you...Can't we all just get along?"
"Bullshit! You only want to kill us"
"True...and I will. Gohan is already mine, Goku and Trunks will follow. But
before that...I have another thing that must be done."
"And that would be?"
"Killing you. Goodbye, Vegeta..."

Vegeta didn't even have time to think. Freddy's glove flashed out, shreading
his head. The decapitated prince collapsed, his soul already gone.
