I do not own Dragonball Z, but I do own Brendant and Chaos

The figure watched from across the street as Pan poked at the mouse with the broomstick and Bra by this time was feigning terror. The figure then stood and strolled over, making sure noone from the house walked out or saw him. He eventually got to the Brief's driveway and walked up to Bra, grabbed her forehead, held her head back, and dragged the edge of the butcherknife across her throat, slitting her throat. He let her body drop to the ground and then felt something slam into the back of the head.

"You big meany! You hurt Bra!" Pan yelled as she swung again, but the figure grabbed it in midswing, and with one simple motion took the broomstick from Pan and slammed it through the center of her chest.

"Touche." The figure said as Pan fell to the ground, and the small white mouse remained in spot, watching the whole event. The figure then walked off as if nothing happened.

Moments later, Gohan walked out and started to say "Pan, time to go." but it caught in his throat when he saw Pan and Bra laying on the driveway, Bra lying in a pool of her own blood and Pan with the broomstick through her chest. Gohan's eyes first shown with sadness, but then a look of unbridled insanity overcame him as he powered up and released a pained roar that rocked the very foundation of reality itself.

"What is..." Videl asked, but it caught in her throat and she began crying into Gohan's shoulder as she saw her precious daughter, her face ghostly pale from lost of blood. They were soon joined by the others, several with a nonchalant look at it.

A few days later, they sat around in Capsule Corp once more, Videl looking almost dead, Gohan's face a look of rage, and the others varying emotions.

"What do we do now?" Goku asked as he sat next to Vegeta, and Brendant sat across from Marron, who was occupied by the little white mouse Pan was play- fighting with on the day of her murder.

"We find this asshole and kill them." Gohan snarled as Videl sat close to him, resting her head upon his shoulder.

"But how do we do that?" Vegeta asked, and Trunks said "Well, I guess we wait for the killer to show their face again and then get rid of them."

"How do we know when, or even if they'll strike again?" Tien asked, and Brendant said "Most lunatics don't just kill one or two people, but this isn't a calculated murder, since noone has a real reason to kill kids."

"He has a point." Yamcha said, and Goku asked "How will we know if it's them if we don't even know what this mysterious killer looks like?"

The small mouse in Marron's hands jumped onto the coffee table as soon as Goku asked his question, and they watched in confusion as the small mouse scurried about the table, sniffing about until it found what it was looking for, Brendant's horror magazine with Jason on the front, and another magazine with a picture of Neo from the Matrix.

"Ok, that's one intelligent mouse." Goten said, but Brendant asked "What's it trying to show us." The mouse scurried onto the the horror magazine and pointed to Jason's hockey mask with it's nose, then over to the other magazine and pointed to Neo's clothes with it's nose.

"So, the killer is wearing a Jason Voorhees hockey mask and all black like Neo." Yamcha guessed, and the mouse scurried back to Marron.

"Well, now we know what we're looking for, now all we need is to know who's the next victims." Goku said as the others nodded in agreement.

"So, who's the next victim?" Chaos asked, and Gohan said "Well, the possabilities are rather slim, since it's probably one of us."

"Ok, but which one?" Goku asked, and Vegeta said "Everyone keep together. Noone be alone."

"Sounds simple enough, but what if it's one of us?" Chichi said as the others nodded.

"Well, if anyone seems to be acting at all wierd, knock them out or get one of the others." Piccolo said, finally chiming in.

"What if they kill us before we can?" Krillin asked, and 18 said "Then we see who the victim was with, and take them out."

"That makes sense, but what if that person left before the victim was killed?" Marron asked, and Vegeta said "Then we watch that person more carefully."

Marron's eyes drifted over to Brendant's, which didn't hold their normal happiness, but more a coldness, which seemingly screamed "Death! Torture! Pain!" into hers. She closed her eyes and looked again, but the look remained the same. The same evil, cold heartlessness as the view of them that day.

"Marron. Marron?" Chaos whispered into her ear, returning her to the real world.

"Yes?" Marron whispered back, and Chaos asked "Why you looking into Brendant's eyes so much."

"There's something... something unnatural, almost evil in them." Marron answered, and Chaos smiled as he replied "I've known him for years, and he always gets that look in them whenever anyone, even a stranger, dies."

"Why?" Marron questioned, but Chaos avoided it by saying "Later, when we're more... alone."

"Ok." Marron said as the others stood and went their seperate ways, the meeting over. Marron and Chaos stood, following her family, Brendant close behind. Marron looked at her hands and finally noticed the mouse in her hands, which had left her mind when she saw Brendant's eyes. The mouse in her hands was peacefully asleep, but was awaken by the sudden motion. Marron smiled at it as she put it into a small cage next to the door and walked out, following her family.
