Chapter 8
Rebirth
-Who said good always prevail?-
Vegeta was sound asleep and was dreaming when Maxine woke up around four in the morning. She pushed the man on top of her that was still joined with her aside, and tried to move her numbed body. Half asleep she slid down the bed and fell on the floor with a little thump and crawled to the bathroom. She turned on the water and let the warmth soothe her aching body, her mind still fuzzy about what happened earlier for all that she knew the man on her bed was Terry. She didn't see the door of the bathroom slide open and someone carrying a colt 45 with silencer aiming her and fired.
The saiya-jin prince was still facing Freddy in what he thought was real, but suddenly the apparition vanished along with everything around him.
"Oh no I am asleep!" he said and waking up and wondered where in the world he was. He could hear the water running on the bathroom, so he got up and was going to summon the young woman for letting him fall asleep when he found her laying on her blood in the floor.
"No it can't be." he said and a flash he got dress and rolled her around the covers and flew out the window with her toward the nearby hospital.
"How could I be so stupid to fall asleep?" He said angry than looked at his hand and gasped in horror to see that the twenty-one stars were missing.
"What the hell?" he said surprised but that was nothing compared to the shock he got when he saw them on Maxine palm while they were running with her in the emergencies.
"Oh crap!" He said.
"Sir, can you come with us please." A policeman said.
"Sorry guys maybe later." Vegeta said while flying away under the stunned eyes of the officers of law.
"Damn it! What I am going to do now? Bra! I've got to find her! I know he'll be going after her to finish the job." he said turning into a super saiya-jin and flew as fast as he can but it was already too late.
Yesterday after Vegeta left.
"I hate you!" Bra said to her mother while running toward her room.
"Oh that's great he's the one cheating and I am the one to blame!" Bulma said.
"He told you he didn't do anything but you just choose not to listen, it's your fault!" Bra said before locking herself inside her room where she let drop on the bed and fell asleep while crying. She woke up in the middle of the night after having a terrible nightmare where she saw herself reliving what happened at Sandra's party. She woke up soaking wet in sweat and decided to take a bath. She filled her bathtub with warn and soapy water and got in. She closed her eyes took a deep breath and sunk in but when she was out of air and was going to resurface two powerful arms held her down until she drown.
"What the hell you want?" Bulma asked angry at Vegeta.
"Where is Bra?" He asked.
"In her room don't want to come out." She replied, Vegeta pushed her aside and came knocking in her door when she wasn't answering it he forced it opened, it didn't take him long to find her drown in her bathtub.
He fell on his knees crying.
When Bulma heard him she run to see what was going on. "What's going on…Oh no! Is she?" she asked but she didn't really need Vegeta's answer. While he was leaving the bathroom he saw an amulet under the sink and picked it up. It recognized it immediately.
"Where's Trunks?" Vegeta asked Bulma.
"He left with Goten last night after he talk to Bra I didn't see him since. Maybe he's at work. Vegeta what's going on?" She said her eyes red and puffy, but this one didn't reply and picked up the phone and dialed the Son's house.
"Hello." Gokou answered to the phone.
"Hey Kakorott, where is your son Goten?" Vegeta asked.
"In his room I guess."
"Can you tell him to come on the phone?"
"Sure" Gokou said and Vegeta can heard him called out for him, but for some reason he didn't answer.
"Chichi can you go get Goten?" Gokou said to his wife.
"Ok." This one said and went knock on her son door, but this one didn't answer so she opened the door that was unlocked. Gokou heard his wife screaming before he heard a loud thump and run to see what's going on.
Goten was laying naked on his bed chained by his hands and feet a red scarf over his mouth while his throat was cut wide opened. On the wall someone had paint Vegeta-sei symbol and the message: twenty down one more to go!
Vegeta had hung up when he heard Chichi's screamed, he already knew that Goten was dead he was just making sure of it.
"Vegeta?" Bulma said.
"Goten is also dead." He said while leaving through the window. He went back to the hospital and learned that Maxine had passed away.
"Oh when?" Vegeta asked.
"Well just after her boyfriend came to see how she was doing." The doctor said.
"Her boyfriend? What boyfriend? Terry is not coming back until next week! Did he go to her room?" Vegeta asked while holding him by the collar.
"I don't know." He said shocking. Vegeta flew away and tried to pinpoint his son and saw him driving his convertible on the highway, so he landed right by his side.
"Hey dad what's up?" Trunks asked when he saw him.
"Where have you been?" Vegeta asked angry.
"Around." He replied.
"Around where?"
"Is this an interrogation or what?" Trunks said laughing nervously.
"Yes it is! Bra, Goten and Maxine are dead and I think you killed them!" Vegeta said.
"What? Are you insane? I would never hurt them!" He said offended.
"My son wouldn't, but you would Freddy Krueger." Vegeta said.
"Freddy who?" his son innocently.
"Don't fuck with me I know that you are in here!" Vegeta yelled at him.
"Dad, are you sure you are ok?" Trunks said looking at him. Vegeta grabbed him away and took over the wheel.
"Yea, I am but I need to have a little chat with you mano at mano." Vegeta said while droving toward the desert.
"Where are we going?" Trunks said.
"Someplace we can talk like saiya-jin." He said.
Two hours later they were standing face to face alone in the desert where they were no living thing but themselves.
"Ok games over! I knew you are the one behind all this!" Vegeta said.
"You are right old man it is me, but where you are wrong is that I am not Freddy." Trunks said laughing.
"What? Impossible! You are lying! I know my son he'll never do something like that!" Vegeta said.
"You think you know me you don't dad, none of you knows me!" Trunks said angry.
"Why?" Vegeta asked.
"Because I can that's why! Why having all this power and not using it for your own amusement? You have done the same before!"
"This was a long time ago!"
"Yeah you told me that a thousand times you have changed"
"So you were the voice in my head, it was through your eyes I saw those murders!"
"Yup."
"Trunks don't you understand you've been killing innocent people just for the fun of it!"
"I know, I became evil and you know what? I like it"
"This can't be true I must be dreaming"
"You mean you are having a nightmare! No it's real!"
"But why?"
"All my life I tried to be a good son, I tried to understand you do what ever you wanted but it was never enough! I was never too fast too strong you wanted me to better Gokou's sons while you can even better the father himself! I was nothing at your eyes but some kind of burden and can read it on your eyes sometime; I bet you regret I was born because if I didn't you wouldn't be stranded here on Earth!"
"This isn't true!
"Don't lie to me I was in your head I saw it all when I was in Nightmare World how you despised my mother and I!"
"How can you say that!"
"You hate me so much that you abandoned me there!"
"Where?! What are you talking about?"
"When you came to Nightmare World you were looking for Bra not me, you had always favor her, now the little brat his gone."
"I am sorry for how I acted toward you but this doesn't give you the right to kill!"
"You don't understand I don't have a choice!"
"What do you mean?"
"When Maxine and I went to get Bra we fell into Freddy's trap. Her entire being was pull in this evil place but my soul got stuck there because that stupid amulet she gave me, that's why I couldn't woke up I was lost there"
"It was supposed to protect you"
"Oh it did a good job alright, Freddy couldn't absorbed my soul into his being but this didn't keep him for torturing me! I waited for you to come but you never showed up instead you went after Maxine and save her while you abandoned your own son!"
"You told me to get her!"
"So you can find me after but you just forgot about me! I've waited but you never came" Trunks said angry.
"So how did you got out?"
"You are so gullible." Trunks said with Freddy's voice.
"I knew it was you!" Vegeta said while taking a fighting position.
"You thought that killing that temporary body will get rid of me, but you were wrong as soon you did I took over Maxine's for awhile. I knew your plan so I know that when you turn back time she wouldn't be affected, because of the first spell that brought her here. The only problem was I couldn't stay in her for long because if she knew I was there she could easily get rid of me."
"When did you switch body?" Vegeta asked.
"During that Hallowing party after you turn back time, but were unable to do a thing because I was too weak at the time and soon discover I can only take over my host only when you are asleep because of these stupid dream demons that were residing on you. This sucks big time but I had a lot of fun. Anyway my plan was delayed because of Maxine and her dream doll but it seemed I got lucky again when you broke that darn thing. But know I am free and totally in control and you can touch me. The only way I'll be leaving this body is if I want to or if he's dead. Are you ready to kill your own son to get me?" He said laughing and Vegeta growled.
"I didn't think so."
"You have your twenty-one souls why don't you fuse the two worlds huh?" Vegeta asked.
"More complicated to do than said, and I only have twenty souls I think yours will do nicely." Freddy said.
"Don't count on it pal! And what do you mean you only have twenty? You only need three and you just killed my daughter Goten and Maxine!"
"I didn't kill Maxine so I don't have her soul."
"What you want me to believe you?"
"Someone beat me to it and you know damn well who." Freddy said grinning and Vegeta stood there mouth wide opened.
"Oh yeah it was your wife, poor woman after thinking things over and over she decided to apologized to you, but when she got here well he saw you two very busy doing more than researching how to stop me."
"So it wasn't a dream." Vegeta whispered.
"Oh please, you want me to believe that you didn't know. Come on you've been banging the little witch around harder better and faster than I ever did. Your wife saw you got pissed went back got herself a gun and shoot her but I think she didn't have the courage to do you too or she was too scared that a bullet won't do it."
"No you are lying!"
"Deep down inside of you, you know I am right. Anyway I just need one more victim and the circle will be completed and you can kiss the world how you know it goodbye Vegeta." He said laughing.
"Well too bad this won't happen" Vegeta said arms crossed.
"I know you don't have the balls to kill your own son."
"Who said anything about killing him?" Vegeta said while he began chanting an exorcism spell.
"No! It can't be." He said while trying to fly away but couldn't as the spell begin to affect him.
"NOOOOOO!!!" He screamed as he was thrown out from Trunks body.
"How?" He said while looking at his incorporeal self.
"Let's say that in your lifetime you've met meddling witch and warlock."
"So you've learn some stuff from her, impressive but you should know this won't work I'll just have to possess someone else."
"Where? They isn't anything alive here than us, you've already possessed Trunks and I which mean you that you only have 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Vegeta said and Freddy soul began to make his trip toward the netherworld.
"Bu-bye!" Vegeta said.
"I'll get you for…!" Freddy began to say before disappearing. Vegeta put his son on the car and drove away. Later on he decided to go dragon ball hunting with Gokou and discovered that they have been already used and that'll they'll have to wait for one year to be able to get them.
"Damn! I bet Freddy was the one who made these wishes I wonder what they were." Vegeta said worried.
Months later in a Catholic hospital not far away from west city capital in an operation room, a doctor was making a caesarian to a comatose mother. He freed a baby boy with dark tan skin black spiky hair and a tail and gave him to the nurse who took the now brawling baby to be cleaned. Once she got alone in the next room with the baby he stopped crying and looked angrily at the woman who was surprised at new born.
"What on the world?" She said scared when she saw the baby growing into a full size adult in five minutes.
The man lift his right hand and four blades formed with his ki appeared in it and chopped her head off which rolled at his feet and kicked it away, he also killed everyone that had the bad luck to cross him before the hospital burnt to the ground.
Later that night everyone who was asleep had the same dream. There was a little girl about five wearing dungarees with red ribbon on her breaded hair was playing all alone in what look like an abandoned playground singing.
"1, 2, buckle my shoe. 3, 4, close the door. 5 6 pick up sticks, 7 8 stand up straight, 9 10 let's do it again." And every time she started singing it again a new kid of same age appeared out of nowhere and joined her. Soon there were twenty-one of them playing there and there was a man hiding in the shadow looking at them. The first little girl stopped when she saw him coming out of the dark and walking toward them and for each children he passed by they began to rot away but continued to play until they turned into ashes. She just stood there and watched her companions disappearing one after another, then turned to the dreamers and said smiling.
"Come play with me!" and began to sing.
"1, 2, buckle my shoe. 3, 4, close the door. 5 6 pick up sticks, 7 8 stand up straight, 9 10 let's do it again."
Doubt is completed, and if you want me to continue just say so and I'll add a third part. See ya and thousand thanks for your reviews! ^__^
