Hey, guys. Guess what! This is basically the last chapter to this story, with exception to the epilogue. Hope you like this chapter. It looks pretty grim, but it's a build up for the next story. I am so glad to have reviewers like you guys. And with the power of Instant Message, I have gotten to know most of you. Some more than others (wink,lol). Bless you all!

A Cold Place Ch 24: Gohan Vs. Crazy Insane Hyena Saiyan
Gohan gasped. This little freak was ripping him to shreds! After only fifteen seconds, Gohan had most of his body leaking blood from the deep gashes that Hyena was leaving with his nails. Even though he was unable to escape the hits, he was able to redirect them from his face and all of his vital organs. Soon enough, however, this had to stop!

In The Spaceship
Gggg
Leader peered out of the window, down at the fight before him. Each slice of the hybrid's flesh made him wince slightly. Every time Gohan dodged, Leader smirked. The truth was that he had a fate planned for the hybrid at the moment, and if it didn't work, then the whole universe will pay. His plan was just too interesting to pass up.

Bulma
Gggg
Bulma raced past all of the mountains to where she could already see the flashes of light from the battlefield. There was a wicked grin on her face as her hover car flew at speeds that only she could engineer. She knew she was going to see the action. And to see her husband and Gohan alive and well would calm her into rest.
Before that could ever happen, there was a flash in the corner of her eye, before she felt herself being ripped apart. Letting out a sharp cry she yelled her love for her friends and her husband. Even after her body was gone, she still gave her complete message. Her last.

The Battlefield
Gggg
As Hyena was about to make another slash at the weakened Gohan, there was a blinding light that made everybody freeze.
Friends and loved ones,
I am gone now. Some idiot just blew me up. It's okay, though. I think. I have to tell you all something. Even though I was an outcast to your battles, I felt as though I was one of you. I love you all.
Little Trunks, my son, I love you dearly. Mom can't be here anymore. However, I have the feeling that we will see each other soon. Make me proud. I will always smile down at you.
Radditz and Aurora, you both remind me of me and Vegeta when we were younger. Let your love be strong, and proud. Let nothing come in between you.
Videl, love of Gohan. Treat him right. For you two will one day have to part. It always happens. Just love him.
Goten, the little boy with the great mind. Women are going to love you when you're older. Treat them right, no matter what. Keep getting stronger. You'll be like Gohan one day, I swear.
Gohan. I don't even know how to describe you. You are so many things. You certainly know how to keep things interesting. Never lose your personality, so rare that it is. Watch out for your friends, guide them.
Vegeta, my love. Oh, how cruel life can be. And I know by now you're on the verge of destroying everything in sight. Please don't. Focus it instead on your fight. Take them on. Remember me, my love. Our memories are all we have left.
Farewell, my friends.
All went quiet. The tension in the air was thick around Goten, Vegeta, and Gohan. The rest of the people around were only quiet and nervous as they backed away from the three. Gohan and Vegeta were obvious to blow off, but only Vegeta knew why Goten was mad. The child had been at Vegeta's house enough times for Bulma to seem like a mother to him.
The three saiyans all let out a burst of yells and a huge increase of their power. Earth, for several seconds, seemed like a second sun. All color except for gold died out and the clouds parted.
Though the climate may of have seemed the storm, Goten, Vegeta, and Gohan were worse.
In a flash, the entire battlefield was clear of all life, except for their team. The rouge saiyans were disposed of like the were mere insects. None of them had even known what killed them. Now, powering down, they stared up at the huge ship with looks of malice.

Site Of Bulma's Crash
Gggg
Goku, Tien, and Yamcha stood at the edge of the crash site. None of them could move after they heard Bulma's words. Tien and Goku looked at Yamcha with fear in their eyes. Not of him, but of fear of what Vegeta would do.
Yamcha gasped, "I didn't know-- she-- I thought it was a saiyan since it was going so fast. I never knew a car could go almost as fast as us. I didn't think."
Tien nodded, "You didn't think, and Vegeta is not going to care. You're dead, man. All of us are."

Battlefield
Gggg
Gohan and Goten waved to the rest of the team as they started to go into the space ship. Even though they were still extremely shocked about Bulma's death, they still went inside ready for the fight. Vegeta wasn't much different, following them as well. However, the rest stayed behind, to mourn for Bulma at the time that the other three saiyans could not.

The Spaceship
Main Lobby
Gggg
As soon as they entered, they found themselves in a huge lobby that was completely empty except for Leader. Eager for the fight to take place, they raced towards him in an attempt of destroying him. However, their attempt failed, as a black force field sprang around them on all sides, trapping them.
(if most of you don't hate me by now, this is where it gets really bad. Sorry, but it's essential for the next story)
"What the hell," Vegeta yelled, "Get this force field of yours away!"
"Yeah!" yelled Goten, "Brother, break this pathetic thing down. Brother?"
Both Vegeta and Goten stared at Gohan with concern. It was due, since Gohan had fallen to his hands and knees and was sweating profoundly. Vegeta didn't have much time to observe, since he himself was on his hands and knees, just as Gohan.
Goten blinked, obviously unaffected, "Hey, Leader! What have you done to my brother!"
Gggg
The battlefield
Gggg
Aurora and Radditz ran to Videl's side as soon as she collapsed, both asking her what was wrong. Though she couldn't answer, both knew that it was bad and Gohan was probably going through the same exact thing.
Gggg
Supreme Kai's Planet
Gggg
Elder Kai looked into the crystal ball which had Gohan sighted. He looked at Gohan and Vegeta with a sad frown. He knew what was happening and what was going to happen. This was going to be the last hour of the universe. He shrugged his shoulders. Better use his last minutes looking at women in the shower.
Gggg
Inside the Black Force Field
Goten
Gggg
Goten waited for an answer, but all that he had gotten so far was a giant laugh. It wasn't until much later that he heard a reply.
"Dear boy, look at your brother. When was the last time you have seen him like this?"
Goten shook his head, "Never, and I don't like what I am seeing now, so you had better stop, or else!"
"Or else, what? He being torn apart from what has fastened onto his soul. Him and Vegeta both."
Goten looked at a black wall confused, "Fastened onto their souls? I don't get it. What is happening, dammit! Don't use riddles on me!"
Goten could hear Leader laugh, "Their bonds, boy. The force field is stripping them of their bonds to their mates. It's essential for what I am about to do."
"What are you going to do?" asked Goten.
By that time, Gohan and Vegeta have both recovered, but both looked extremely angry. Obviously, they still remembered their ex- mates, but they also knew what had caused it.
Vegeta shot a ki beam at the force field, though it didn't have much effect, "Get us the hell out of here, or I swear that you will never be able to walk again by the time I find my own way out!"
Once again, they heard Leader laugh, "Look around you. Do you see the people around here?"
Vegeta looked around and could only see Gohan and Goten, "Yes, I see them. Why the hell do you want to keep playing this childish game. Tell us what the hell is going on!"
Leader sighed, "Impatient. Just one more question before I tell you what is happening. Do you remember the precise date that Planet Vegeta was destroyed?"
Vegeta laughed, "Yes, I do. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my lost empire. There's the answer to your damned question. Now tell us!"
Leader laughed once again, "Well, don't regret it any longer. Now is your chance to save it."
Before anyone in the force field could say anything, they all felt gigantic pull at their souls, before everything faded to a complete void of darkness. All of the people that they have ever sensed faded out. The world was gone.
Gohan looked around at Vegeta and Goten, "This, my friends, does not look good."
Vegeta looked around, "Where the hell are we?"
Goten, full of his never-ending wisdom, "A cold place."v
