Aftermath
-For every problem there is a solution and for very solution a thousand problems.-
Last time in Nightmare World! Freddy Krueger had for mission to eliminate every Z-warriors, family and friends but got stopped before putting his last plan at work which was the total control of the Dream Land. Now everything is back to normal and once again people can sleep in peace, well almost everyone.
Vegeta had been having nightmare since he got back, every night he got the same recurring nightmare: He was trying out Freddy Krueger's glove, then a bright light enveloping him and find himself living again the worse moments of his life the ones he had tried so hard to forget! Then he began to dream about what happen to the others when they got lost in Nightmare World and it was so real that when he finally woke up he was shaking and needed a few minutes to calm down every night was the same.
"Come on I cannot let these dreams get the better of me!" he said one morning after waking up from one of his persistent nightmares
"Maybe you need help I can arrange an appointment with the best psychiatrist there is" said Bulma near him
"What! No way I'm not going to lay down in a couch and tell a stranger what's going on my head!" said Vegeta getting from up the bed
"But Vegeta these dreams are driving you nuts you said it yourself and look at you! You are the shadow of yourself!"
"I am fine! These nightmares have to stop some days!"
"That's what you told me three months ago and they persist! That's it I am putting this appointment for today and you better go mister!"
"I am not going!" yelled Vegeta
Four hours later Vegeta found himself in the lobby of Dr Hypnosis psychiatrist
"I can't believe I am here! I am the only one who remembers what happen and telling the others about it won't help! Once again I am alone in this mess" he said sadly to himself while looking at the exit door he wanted to get out of here and didn't care about what Bulma will say
"Mr. Briefs Dr Hypnosis is ready to see you now" said the secretary he stood up and followed her but turned back the exit door before she could say anything he was gone.
"Who does she think I am?" he said outside in the park, lost in his thoughts hands in his pockets he walked without paying attention of where he was going when he run into a very tall guy who was jogging and he lost his balance and fell on the ground not without bringing the man with him
"Hey look where you're going shorty!!" said the man getting up and continued his exercises, but Vegeta was still sitting on the ground when he saw a pair of running shoes stopping in front of him
"Are you alright sir?" said a feminine voice, he recognized it immediately and looked up and his eyes met two big brown ones that were on the smiling face of Maxine
"Yeah am fine" he said taking the hand offered
"Hey I know you! You are Trunks' father right?" asked the fourteen years old girl
"Yes I am" said Vegeta and started wondering if she remember what happened after all he used her as bait to lure Freddy out of Nightmare World.
"So how is he?" she asked
"Who?"
"Your son"
"He's fine" said Vegeta and his eyes fell on the girl's neck but the medallion hanging on it kept his attention it was the one that have the soul keeper where Freddy's soul was captive, she followed his gazed and said
"Mr. V" and Vegeta looked at her in surprised that was that way she used to call him when they where trapped in that nightmare
"You remember?"
"Yea I thought that I was the only one you remember to! How weird that's only the two of us who remember?"
"I know, so he's not going to able to get out of this" said Vegeta while pointing the little red sphere that was in the middle of the pentagram
"There is no way he could get out of it, even when you turned back time he wasn't able to leave it"
"So he's not responsible for the nightmares I am having"
"What nightmares?" she asked surprised and the saiya-jin explained to her his situation
"This is horrible!"
"Tell me about it"
"Maybe I can help"
"How?" said Vegeta with hope
"Come with me" she said and Vegeta followed her home that was nearby
"Where's your parents?" he said when he entered the modest apartment
"You mean my guardians, well they are at work" she said offering him a sit while she went to her room and came back with a little wooden box and gave it to Vegeta
"What's this?"
"The answer to your prayers" she said smiling Vegeta opened it and inside of it was a weird looking doll it was brown and made in porcelain it had two faces one that represent an angel the other a demon
"Uh what is it?"
"It's a dream doll! It'll keep you from having these nightmares, and please try to be extra careful with it; if it breaks the charm is over and it's also a unique piece!"
"Where do you keep finding these things?"
"I am a witch remember and my real parents where archeologists" she said shrugging
"What do I do with it?" asked Vegeta
"Just keep it in your bedroom that should be enough"
"Ok thanks and I hope this will work!"
"Of course it will!"
When Vegeta got home he met with an angry Bulma
"You left without seeing the doctor; I still have to pay for the session you know"
"Yes I know, I told you I didn't want to go"
"What about your nightmares?"
"It's been taking care of"
"Are you sure?"
"I am certain!"
Since that night he hide the doll in the drawer near his side of the bed and every morning hide it someplace else so no one knows that the prince of all saiya-jin needed a doll so he could have sweet dreams. Like the girl had said the dream doll worked and for seven years Vegeta didn't have any grimed dreams.
Seven years later at the capsule corp. Trunks threw a party to celebrate his election has the vice-president of the company. All his friends and family was there well except for Vegeta of course who said that he won't be bother with this.
"For once please come" supplicated Bulma
"I got better thing to do" said Vegeta and left, Bulma sighed
"So he's not coming" said Trunks
"No, sorry son" said Bulma sadly
"That's okay mom you did your best!"
"Don't let him spoil this moment of happiness ok"
One by one his friends came and Trunks went to welcome them.
"Yo! Terry what's up my man?" he said to the raven haired young man
"Oh just fine, you are so lucky! While we are still struggling at University you are already the vice president of CC!"
"Well it's not an easy thing to be the vice-president of such big company at 19 it's a lot of work and pretty boring believe me!"
"Sure" said Terry without conviction
"So where's your fiancée Maxine" asked Trunks
"Like always she's pretty busy with her works and she sent her congrads!"
"She's still studying to be a history teacher"
"Yea but she's most in the study of past civilization"
"And you thought she was going to pursue her athletic career"
"Yea, I don't know about that wedding anymore"
"You mean you don't love her anymore"
"I still love her but lately we are estrange to each other"
"It'll work out you'll see" said Trunks while tapping on his friends shoulder
"I see that the girls are here" said Terry pointing to Buffy, Lana, and Tina
"My little witches of Harlem" said Trunks laughing
"Man these girls always freak me out I don't know how could you be still friends with them!"
"Oh come on there are not that bad and I am going to have a little ménage a quatre (4) tonight want to join"
"No thanks man I don't believe you are going to do all three of them together"
"There is plenty to go around"
"I believe you man I believe you"
The party ended late at night and everyone leave the party after and Trunks said that he was going to drive the three young women home, when Vegeta get out of the GR machine and went to take a shower he got of it and took the doll to place it in the drawer when he tripped on something and let it fall on the ground and it broke in thousand pieces.
"Uh-oh I can't believe this!" he said with rage and went to clean the mess, he looked at the phone thinking on calling Maxine but he didn't talk to the woman in years and it was really late
"Well it's only one night maybe I won't have any dream" he said and went to bed and immediately began to dream. He walked into that antic store and started to look around
"Can I help you sir" said the clerk
"No I am just looking around" replied Vegeta
"Oh I think I got what you are looking for"
"I don't think so" said Vegeta frowning while watching the man taking a box and inside it was a finger knives leather glove
"This is a unique piece from the twentieth century will you like to try it" said the man giving it to Vegeta who took it and tried it on, as soon as his fingers touched the inside of it a bright blinding light wrapped him.
In Springwood Asylum a nun called Amanda Krueger was finishing her shift when she got locked up with hundred of male inmates.
"Hey opened up I am still inside" screamed desperately the woman but no one came, behind her a heavy silence indicated that trouble was broiling, she turned to see hundred of eyes looking at her she back up as the men walked toward her and she back up but soon there were no place to go as they grabbed her and raped her.
They found her the next morning half dead and was rush to the hospital, as she began to recover she learned that she was pregnant
"Oh mother superior what am I going to do about that baby"
"I am afraid that you'll have to keep it my child it is against our faith to make an abortion"
"Bu this child is conceive with the seed of the devil how could we permit such a abomination to walk upon the Earth"
"Who are we to judge? Maybe this is the devil works but God's plan" said the old nun; Amanda looked at her belly not sure that God has nothing to do with it. Nine months later Amanda Krueger gave birth to a baby boy that she called Freddy Charles Krueger.
The child was place in a foster parent home and was never adopted, as he grew up he went into various homes and no one wanted to keep him, because of the strange behavior of the boy.
Vegeta found himself in his skin feeling all his pain anger and sadness.
Little Freddy finally got adopted but the father was an alcoholic and liked to beat the crap out of his wife and Freddy,
"Freddy you good for nothing get your lazy butt here!" said the father one day after he had spilled some milk
"Yes sir" said the scrawny little boy
"I am working my butt of for this family and you little twerp you are wasting money" he said hitting him on the wall
"Stop you are hurting him" said his wife but he shut her off by slapping her silly and took his belt out and started slashing the little boy until he lost consciousness. At school things weren't any better as he become the laughing stock of his comrade and got pick on by bullies like he didn't received enough beating at home. As years passed by he grew up to be a very introverted child only counting on himself for everything and then become a rebel and one day he challenged his adopted father
"You stupid boy what have you done you trash out my car!" said the father and took out his belt and began to hit teenage Freddy with it but he didn't react and the man had to stop tired
"Please more" said the teenage boy with a big grin and when the man raised his hand at him he caught it and twisted it
"Let me go you are hurting me!" said the man in pain
"Oh no this is going to hurt!" he said breaking it
"You son of a bitch you broke my hand!"
"Oh I am just starting" he said as he took a baseball bat and hit him in the head and hit him over and over and over again and soon the whole room was splashed with blood as the boy smashed his brain. When he finished he cleaned everything up and buried the body when the police started looking for his father and couldn't found him they concluded that he had just abandoned his family.
Since then Freddy lived a normal life and had a family but he has a double life at day he was the perfect family man and at night 'Freddy the children slayer'. He would have continued that way if a mob made of outrage parents put an end by burning him alive.
Vegeta found himself with him in the burning house while the parents were shouting outside, the man had summon the dream demons and asked them power over dream world and they gave it to him.
"Yes I can feel the power and forever I will live!" he said as the flamed devoured his flesh, then Vegeta witness every single crime he had committed using the dreamscape, even the ones when he was up against him and their finally their last battle.
Standing behind him he could see him but not his face as he talk to him
"I have to say that I am impressed you've been the only one who was capable in stopping me. Do you know why? Because we are so much alike you and I, we have lived the same chitty life. The other tried to understand us but what do they know they weren't there but we were aren't we? My soul is maybe trapped and my reign over nightmare world is coming to an end but I can't, die I won't die, not until there is fear and there is plenty of it in people's heart! Let's join force and reign or oppose me and suffer!"
"Nice try, I know you are powerless!" mocked Vegeta
"You poor fool when you'll ever learn that I can't be stop! Tonight is the night where I live again let's celebrate" he said laughing
Vegeta found himself wearing a tattered red and green sweater, beat-up hat and leather glove reinforced with steel plating sporting (4) 6 inch knife blades.
"It's hunting season time! Muhahahahahahahahaha!"
