Reda: Well...here we are again.
Vee: Here we are...born to be kings.
Reda: Vee, I am officially sick of that song now!
Vee: WE'RE THE PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE!
Reda: (rolls her eyes) Why do I even bother.
Goku: Um...are you going to start the story?
Reda: Oh yea...

Chapter Twelve: Psyfoam's Eyes
Psyfoam's eyes are a mix of different colors. As long as they stay mixed you're okay. If he concentrates on one color hard enough to let that color be the only visible one, then you're in trouble. Psyfoam's eyes are his best weapons. He can create the most horrible feelings from them and bring even the greatest heroes down to their knees. However, only Psyfoam's servants are susceptible to this attack. Understand what Psyfoam's doing yet? Uh huh, exactly. Goku's in worse danger than he was before guys, much worse danger, and he doesn't even know it, yet.
--------------------
"Where'd Goten go?"
"I don't know Chi-Chi...Ah! Hey, get off me!"
"Krillin, that didn't sound right," Pan giggled.
Chi-Chi was crawling all over the black haired midget, trying to get a better view of the crystal ball. Krillin was trying to get out from under Chi-Chi and still be able to see the crystal ball. Pan stood next to her father, who was on the ground in shock of what Supreme Kai had told him. Videl kept looking around the room, gazing at every little detail in turn. Supreme Kai was silently meditating in his chair.
With all the commotion going on, Pan didn't notice a familiar figure coming into the house, until he spoke. "Hey, guys, how's it going?"
Pan turned to look at the speaker. She saw Goten standing there with his hands in his pockets. She couldn't help but notice the wetness on his cheeks.
"Goten!" Everyone yelled out in surprise.
Chi-Chi ran up to him and hugged her little boy, refusing to let go of him. "Did you see Dad, sweetheart?"
"Yes, and he told me to tell you he's sorry, and that he really misses you. Krillin, he said he's really going to miss your friendship."
Pan noticed the tears forming in Goten's eyes and gasped. A Son family member crying? It was unreal! "So, Grandpa's really not coming back? He's being controlled by Psyfoam now?"
"Yes," Goten whispered, not able to keep the tears form falling anymore.
Chi-Chi let go of her son and allowed Goten to sit on a couch. Gohan went over to sit next to his brother while Chi-Chi sat on the other side. She pulled her son's head over to her and let him cry into her chest. She would have done the same for Goku, but that would be impossible from now on. Pan looked at her father, and almost fell back when she saw tears fall from his eyes, too. She already knew Grandma was crying, but she had never seen her father cry; never.
"I know. It's hard to watch, isn't it?" Pan turned around to see her mother. "I've only seen Gohan cry once, and that was a long time ago, during Cell. Your father is a great warrior, Pan, but that doesn't mean he's invincible to crying every once in a while, especially when something back happens to his dad."
"Mom, Grandpa is coming back, isn't he?" Pan asked.
Videl shook her head. "No, I'm sorry, Pan, but it looks as if Grandpa's been beaten. He can battle against geniuses, but not a genius as powerful as Psyfoam. It was just too hard, and Goku cares more about his family and friends than himself, which makes him the great hero that he is."
--------------------
"Bardock, you hear that? Kakarot lost, and now Psyfoam's continuing with the process. Sir?"
"Dresco, thank you for that information. Can you hear anything else?" One thing Bardock liked about Dresco was his ability to hear a pen drop thousands of miles away if he so wished to.
"Well..."
"What's happening? Tell me!"
"By the sound of Psyfoam's words and his anger, I think he's got the Red Eye, sir. He's probably about to use it on Kakarot."
"So, it's true then. Kakarot is now a servant of that blasted Psyfoam! Kakarot, what happened to your pride? What happened to your Saiyan pride?"
--------------------
Master was angry; real angry, and Goku was in his sights. Goku winced when his master sliced his boot into his side. He screamed out in pain the second time Master did it, and the third and the forth and for as long as he kept it up.
Then, he stopped. There was complete silence in the room. Goku could only hear his own raspy breathing. Then it came. Master's booming voice echoed through the room.
"This is what happens when you disobey me, Goku. I hope I never have to do this again."
Goku felt his master's boot slice into his chin. He opened his eyes, curious to see what Reda and Vee were doing. He didn't see his two new comrades. Instead, his eyes connection with Psyfoam's blazing red one. Wait! Master's eyes weren't red!
Then he felt it. He felt a burning, raging fire flowing through his body. Goku screamed out from this new unbearable pain. What was going on? He felt like his skin was about to burn off! And his eyes burned so bad he actually welcomed the coolness of his tears. He didn't feel the water running down his face because his tears dried up as soon as they left his eyes. Then there was his hair. He could feel it waving in and out, and when it crossed across his face it felt like fire. Goku screamed out. This pain was too much. Where had this pain come from? Was it Master's eyes that triggered the burning sensation? That would explain the red eyes. Goku promised to himself then and there that he would never, ever make Psyfoam angry again.
--------------------
Reda slapped her fingers over her ears, but Goku's screaming still reached her. She heard the cries of pain intensify as Master unleashed the peak of his anger. Why had she made him angry? That was so stupid. Now Goku was getting punished for her mistake. She felt the wave of guilt wash over her, and she felt like she had to look up at her screaming brother.
Reda opened her eyes and looked up at Goku. He had that red aura around his body. She knew what that meant. That burning sensation was running through his body like red-hot fire. His black hair was giving off a red tint. In fact, his whole body was giving off a red tint.
Reda couldn't stop herself any longer. She closed her eyes and yelled out, "Master, please stop! He did nothing wrong. I should be the one being punished. I figured it out and told Vee and Goku. Please, leave my brother alone. I'm responsible! Punish me!"
Reda kept her eyes closed and listened as Goku's screaming stopped. Good. He listened. She heard a sickening thud as Goku fell from that incredible height and knocked into the ground. Now he was unconscious. Well, at least his pain had stopped.
"Reda, if you wish to take the blame then why are you keeping your eyes closed? I thought you wanted to take responsibility. If you don't open your eyes I'll just kill Goku."
The young Saiyan girl yelled out in defiance as she opened her eyes. Then she saw Master's black eyes. Black? Oh no... This was not good.
--------------------
Vee stared at Kakarot, lying there on the ground. His conscience was bothering him now. Should he risk it? Should he grab Kakarot and teleport away?
"No!" Vee turned to Reda after that.
He knew it wasn't directed at him, but it still made sense. She was right. He shouldn't try to leave. Vee remembered his master's other servant; the one that had tried to escape Psyfoam's grasp. He had exploded one second after departure. Vee shuddered. That's why he hadn't escaped a long time ago when he had been faced with the same opportunity.
Vee looked at Reda. Black? Why was she tinted black? Oh no... Master was really serious. Did he really think Reda would survive his black eyes? Or was he really trying to kill her?
Vee got his answer when Reda fell down to the ground, unconscious. She was still alive, just the same state as Kakarot. Good. He didn't want to lose another friend.
Master turned to look at him. Vee was ready for anything. He could handle black if Reda could, and he could definitely handle red. He looked at his master's eyes. Yellow? Electricity! He did not like this.
-----------------
Vee: Oh, nice place to end it Reda. Very nice.
Goku: I...I...um...
Reda: I had to guys. That's what happened.
Vee: Yeah sure, make your part sound heroic as if you had a choice, and make ours sound like crap!
Reda: Uh...Is that how it came out?
Vee and Goku: Uh-huh.
Reda: Oops. Ok...before my brother and best friend attacks me, let me say one thing...
Vee and Goku: What?
Reda: (reaching down to pull the connection.) Review. (Connection pulled)
