Reda: All right, here comes more.

Vee: More will always come.

Reda: Vee, what's that supposed to mean?

Vee: Just that you write too much and that your spending too much time on this story, and that you have way too many sequels planned.

Reda: Well, at least you're in every single one.

Vee: No, not the one that comes right after this...My brother is, I'm not.

Reda: But that's not a real sequel; it's an interlude!

Vee: It's still going to suck because I won't be there!

Goku: Uh...why are we talking about the sequel when we're not even halfway done with this story yet?

Reda: Actually, Goku, I've written at least half already, I just haven't revised it and posted it yet.

Vee: So, that's what this is for?

Reda: What?

Vee: Never mind.

Chapter Thirteen: The Side Affects and a Dream

Dreams. They can mean a lot and not mean much at all. They can tell the future or remember the past. Only foolish ones underestimate dreams, for only dreams can tell what is truly on your mind. Of course, there are some dreams that predict the future so accurately they are known as de-ja-voux. Let us hope that dreams trigged by Psyfoam's Red Eye do not come true.

--------------------

"Goku, where are you? Goku?" Chi-Chi called into the night.

A young boy's screams are heard. Chi-Chi runs toward them, knowing that it is her sons. She turns around the bend in the corner and spots Goten and Gohan on the ground, wounded badly. Krillin is on the ground at her feet unconscious, possibly dead.

She looks up to see their attacker. Even his shadow appears evil in the night, but he appears to be crying. Her sons' attacker falls down on his knees, weeping uncontrollably. The moon escapes the clouds and light shines on the figure.

Chi-Chi gasps. "Goku?"

--------------------

He sat straight up, calming his screaming. Goku felt himself. He was sweating, probably because of that dream. Was it a dream? Goku looked around the room. It would appear that he was in a nice, rich room. The bed on which he sat was a silky red. It reminded him of the burning pain of Psyfoam's red eyes. In fact, he was still feeling that burning, but it wasn't as bad. So, was that dream true or not? It had seemed so real. Goku trembled. What if it became true in the future?

Suddenly, his sister bounded into the room. "Goku are you okay?" Goku's only reply was his raspy breathing. That dream was still penetrating through his mind. Reda felt his forehead. "Well, the fever's down, but it's still there."

"Fever?" Goku questioned, feeling sweat run down his face and back.

"Yeah, Master's Red Eyes can have many side-affects. An intense fever is one of them."

"What else?" Goku asked, wondering if his dream had bee a side-affect. That would calm him down.

Reda hesitated. "Well...what was your dream?"

Goku explained his dream to her, feeling and hearing the fear in his own voice. "Is it a side-affect? 'Cause I don't want that to happen."

Reda had frozen when he explained his dream. Now she looked at him with pity in her eyes. She turned her head away and Goku saw Reda's hair wiping her tears from her eyes. What was she so sad about?

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Goku saw her shake her head. "Nothing," Reda said as she turned back to face Goku. She wiped her eyes and smiled, although Goku knew she was just trying to keep something bad from him. "Goku, your dream is a side-affect, but it's not a good one."

"What do you mean?"

Reda sighed, "I'll explain to you later when I fully understand myself. Now, though, you need to get some sleep, and get rid of that fever."

Goku shook his head. "Not until you tell me what's wrong."

He looked at Reda's face. She seemed as if she was doing her best not to cry. Cry about what? Goku wanted to know what was bothering his sister.

"Goku, will you eat something first? I know how much you eat." Reda laughed, "but we only have one meal a day here. Besides, with that fever you only need a bowl of soup."

"But...I need food!" Goku protested, but gladly took the soup his sister offered him.

He drank it all down in just a few gulps. As soon as he handed the bowl back to Reda, Goku began feeling drowsy. His vision got all blurry as he tried to shake off his sleepiness. He still wanted to know what bothered his sister. Goku felt a hand on his chest, and he felt himself being pushed down to lay across the pillow.

"Goodnight, Goku. Sweet dreams."

-------------------

As soon as she was certain Goku was asleep, Reda covered him up with the silky blanket. She remembered this room. She had gone through almost everything Goku had. Only, she had fallen to Psyfoam earlier, and had escaped the treacheries of Empty Space. Huh. That meant her brother had more stamina that she did. Well, he was older, and he had been through a lot more than either her or Vee. Still, Goku was incredible to resist Psyfoam that long.

"Reda, what are you doing?" Reda turned around to see Vee standing in the doorway. "We have to go. Master wants us to train. Reda? Why are you crying?"

Then, Reda realized that she had tears running down her face, and she wiped them away with her hands. However, still more formed in her eyes. "It's Goku, Vee. He's having dreams."

"Oh really? What are they?" Vee asked, not understanding why his best friend was shedding tears for the 1st time in her life.

"Vee, he dreamt that he killed his best friend and seriously injured his two sons. He said that he didn't even recognize his own self because he looked so evil." Reda cried after that. "You know what this means?"

Vee nodded, "Yeah." He was finally coming to grasp with understanding Reda's tears.

Reda replied to her question, even though Vee already knew. "That means Master's going to ask him to kill the people he's loved all his life!"

--------------------

"Goku how could you? You loved them more than anything. You gave up your life for Gohan, and your freedom for Goten. How could you kill them both?" Chi-Chi was distraught. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.

The lone warrior standing in the dark night lifted up his hand, very, very slowly. Once he got it positioned just right, the man started to hesitate. With his arm shaking he lowered his head, and tried to control his tears. He couldn't do this; he just couldn't.

"Go on, Goku. Get it over with. You know you have to obey me. Go on, Goku. Do it!"

The figure closed his eyes and felt tears fall down his face. "Sorry, Chi-Chi."

In less than a second, the lone warrior, who was none other than Goku, let an energy beam out of his hands. He stood there and quavered at the sound of hearing his wife's screams as the energy wave ran through her chest. When he looked up, four dead bodies cluttered the ground around him. The Saiyan that had once been the hero of all four of these people fell down to the ground and wept. What could one do when one had just killed one's own wife, boys, and best friend? The very weather seemed to be feeling the sadness in the air as it began to rain, washing away the blood and tears that had been shed tonight.

--------------------

"Wake up!" Psyfoam yelled again, this time kicking Goku off the bed. When the Saiyan still didn't stop his insane screaming, Psyfoam went up to his side and kicked him in the gut. "I said wake up!" This time he got some results as Goku's eyes popped open and he coughed up a mix of blood and spit. "There, that's better. Now, stand up! I need to show you something." When Goku's sobbing figure didn't move, Psyfoam planted another kick in the man's gut. "I said stand up!"

Psyfoam got the pleasure of seeing Goku force himself up. It was quite funny to see his feverous body trying to stand up. Yeah, he knew Goku had a fever. In facet, he had counted on it. All the better to made Goku realize how bad his punishments could be. Goku coughed out another spurt of blood as he stood up.

"That's better. Now, follow me! I need to show you something."

Psyfoam walked to the door of this room and turned around to be sure Goku was following. He was, even if it was taking a while. When Goku walked up to Psyfoam, gripping his side in pain, blood dripping from his mouth, Psyfoam grinned. They'd have to go downstairs. Why not speed things up? He placed his evil hand on Goku's back and pushed him forward. Psyfoam saw the Saiyan try to stop himself, but he didn't succeed. The being laughed as his last threat fell down the stairs in his tower. It was a laugh. Now, Supreme Kai had no way of beating him. Psyfoam had control of the three greatest forces in the universe. All three of them had been capable of becoming a Special Saiyan, but he had made sure to stop that myth before it became reality.

Psyfoam noticed that the crashing sound had stopped. That meant Goku was at the bottom of this long, long, tower. Time to go meet him.

Psyfoam disappeared and reappeared standing next to Goku. He was on the ground, trembling with pain and fear. Psyfoam couldn't help but notice the blood on the ground. After this he'd made Goku clean his whole lair. Now that would be funny! Seeing the greatest hero in the universe reduced to cleaning his floor like the servant he was. Yeah, no one messed with his perfect floor and got away with it, no one.

Goku: ...

Reda: No, not again, Goku...please

Vee: Give it a rest, Reda. He'll be fine in the next chapter.

Reda: Why?

Vee: Because I show my true self then.

Reda: Oh, and how do you know that?

Vee: Because...Reda, I helped you make this "story" remember? You begged me to help you, and now you're pushing me away...I can't believe this.

Reda: But...

Goku: ...

Vee: Oh, and Reda, by the way, what's with the Special Saiyan.

Reda: Vee...

Vee: No, come on; tell me.

Reda: No, you know very well what a Special Saiyan is so don't go there.

Vee: Ok, I'll just pull the connection...
