"Dragonball AS: Destroyer Saga"
Chapter 23- "Anger"

By- Tiny

Marron knew something was wrong as she flew through the rain with her husband by her side, his hair standing out in all it's golden blazing glory as they approached the small pink house that had at one time been home to most Z fighters. She had known first when she awoke in the middle of the night and suddenly felt her father's rather large energy signature disappear. Worry had overcome the blonde woman's mind as she bolted out of the bed to find her husband already awake and dressed, his eyes gazing out the window like two icy blue searchlights.

Trunks had not been hesitant when his wife had asked that they go to check on the aged master of the arts, as he himself had shared a personal connection with his father-in-law even before marrying Marron. Krillin had touched many lives in the years he spent on Earth and Trunks had been no different, while not seeing Krillin as a powerful warrior but more as a role-model and a father figure. He had been the same to many other people during the course of their lives and his, and now that life had seemed to suddenly come to an all too abrupt end.

The rain was cold and harsh as they landed on the soft sand of the beach outside Kame House, the resounding sobs of Juuhachi echoing through the houses walls as Marron burst through the doors. Jace was already at the door waiting for them, his eyes puffy and face streaked with dry tears as he tried to force a smile for Marron, but all he managed was a flat line, furthering his show of sorrow. This only made things worse for the blonde daughter of the former monk as she headed upstairs, following the sound of her mother's sobs.

She had expected to find her mother leaning over her father's bed, cradling the deceased warrior's body in her arms as her tears fell onto his wrinkled face, her own face covered in dried tears. Marron would then rush over to her mother to try and help comfort her in this time of loss, even leaning on her mother for moral support at the same time. That, however, was not the scene that Marron walked in on as she reached the top of the stairs, not even close, and she could feel her husband's rage quietly manifesting itself as they gazed at the sight before them.

There Krillin's body was in the floor, a soft smile on his wrinkled face that betrayed the sorrow of his passing, his cane on the floor a couple feet away, meaning he had stumbled back a few minutes before death. Marron wanted to burst into tears right then as she looked at how frail her father appeared, how much he had deteriorated in a few short years, but she couldn't. The other scene playing out before her eyes was far to revolting and troubling for her to show any emotion besides shock, her husband remaining silent behind her, but his eyes ablaze.

Juuhachi was sobbing heavily on the shoulder of Krillin's prize student, Yugin, her body barely covered by a solid white towel that clung somewhat tightly to her still curvaceous figure. She appeared to be genuinely distraught over her husband's passing, as she rarely showed this much emotion unless it involved her daughter or Krillin, but that didn't excuse her attire. Nor did it excuse the fact that she had little bite marks all over her neck and upper body, clearly made by someone with a much larger mouth than Krillin, and Trunks could smell another man's scent on her.

The young Saiya-jin's body shook with unbridled rage as he slowly made his way over to the former monk's body, casting it a look of pity and sorrow before turning his attention back to the presumably grieving widow. His power was jumping dramatically, almost at his maximum as a level 2 Super Saiya-jin, and that caused anyone within range to tremble in slight fear. Even Juuhachi, powerful and cunning as she was under normal circumstances, backed away from the Saiya-jin prince at this point, though she knew he could catch her if he pleased at any moment.

"What...have you done to him?" Trunks snarled, more of a demand than a question, "Tell me...now!"

"Now Trunks, it isn't what you think...it's been years since Krillin and I were...together in...that way," Juuhachi gulped, "You have to understand, I was lonely and Yugin...well, it made me feel..."

"Like a slut? Or perhaps a whore?" Trunks snapped bitterly, "Krillin was a good man, a good friend, a good father to your daughter, and you...you betrayed him when he needed your support more than anything!"

"Mom...is that true?" Marron whimpered, kneeling at her father's side, "Did you cheat on Daddy...with HIM?"

"Yes...yes, Marron, I did," Juuhachi sighed, lowering her head, "But as I told your husband, you have to understand..."

"UNDERSTAND!" Marron screeched, her eyes suddenly ablaze with anger and spitefulness, "UNDERSTAND WHAT! That while my father was on his deathbed, you were here banging his prized student? What kind of a monster are you?"

Juuhachi hung her head in shame, her daughter's words stinging at her soul worse than any blow any opponent could inflict upon her, though she was sure to keep Yugin out of this by holding him behind her. She had actually hoped that Marron's fit would calm Trunks down a little bit, maybe even get him to drop out of his powered up state, but that was not the case. If anything, Marron's words had only fueled the fire in Trunks' heart as his power continued to rise rapidly, quickly pushing beyond what he was capable of as his muscles began to bulge noticeably.

"Now hold on, you can't blame your mother for everything Marron!" Yugin finally spoke up, "It was me who seduced her in the shower, she didn't want to at first, but I talked her into it. So, if you want to vent on someone, it should be me, not her."

"Good idea, Yugin," Trunks smirked, his eyes rolling up in his head, "There's nothing a Saiya-jin enjoys more...than squashing insects!"

At that moment, Yugin wished that he had never opened his mouth and had remained a fly on the wall, because before he could even gulp the roof of Kame House blew off like a hurricane had hit the island. Golden light erupted from within the hall, knocking Jace back downstairs and Marron towards a wall, though neither of them were roughed up too bad. Juuhachi could only stare at what was about to take place now with a mixture of fear and wonder in her blue eyes, wondering if her lover or she herself would survive after this.

Trunks body, at this point, looked like a pro-wrestler pumped up on a lot of steroids, his muscles so large that they had turned his formerly loose tanktop into a skintight shirt. The fire that had burned in his eyes was now a full-fledge inferno as he closed in on the adulteress and her lover, his power skyrocketing to epic proportions as he locked gazes with Yugin. The human man looked determined, not willing to show any sign of weakness to his opponent, but the fear radiated off of him like nothing anyone could ever imagine experiencing in their lives.

"Any last words before I send you to join Krillin-sensei in the next life, you filthy little shit?" Trunks snarled, his hair already halfway down his back, "Or are you too afraid to speak up?"

"Just...don't hurt Juuhachi, this wasn't her fault, it was mine," Yugin gulped, tightening his fists, "And Marron, I'm so sorry about your fath..."

Yugin never managed to get the words out of his mouth as a little blonde blur shot past the now fully ascended Trunks, jumping onto the blonde android huddled behind Yugin and clawing at her eyes. Neither of them had seen Marron move, not even catching a glimpse of her unusually white aura or the fact that her eyes were suddenly a blazing red color. All they knew was that Juuhachi was screaming in agony as her own daughter ripped away at her flesh like it was nothing to her, as though she wanted to inflict the same pain on Juuhachi that she had inflicted on Krillin.

Jace didn't even make a move to stop her, his own anger filling the room like an ominous shadow that both Yugin and Juuhachi would one day have to face, but he calmly left the scene and went downstairs. Whatever happened to his now dead sensei's widow and his former best friend was now none of his concern, he would go to the city and stay with his girlfriend, or maybe go and get his own place. All he knew was that it was pointless to remain in this house knowing what he knew, and that left Yugin alone and helpless before an angry daughter and her vengeful husband.

It looked at first as though Trunks was going to simply let Marron claw her mother to death after Jace left the island, but that was indeed not the case as he reached down and pulled her away. Marron was kicking and screaming, but she had powered down from that red-eyed state and was now just an angry young woman, spitting out harsh curses at her cringing mother. Juuhachi hadn't been aware of just how powerful her daughter had become in a short amount of time, and Yugin himself was fearful as he held the android close to his chest.

"YOU BITCH! FILTHY, BACKSTABBING WHORE!" Marron spat, struggling against her husband's grip, "Let me go Trunks! I'm not finished with her yet! She's going to hurt like she hurt Papa!"

"She's not worth it Marron, don't waste your energy on her boyfriend either," Trunks snarled, picking up Krillin's body, "We'll deal with the two of them in due time but until then...it's time to lay your father with his friends..."

Marron just nodded, still shooting angry glances at her mother as Trunks walked down the stairs with his father-in-law hanging lifelessly in his arms, his wife following a short distance behind him. Juuhachi didn't know whether she should cry or not, knowing that it might provoke her daughter into another frenzy, but eventually gave into desperation and sobbed heavily on Yugin's chest. The human rocked her gently, trying to calm her down a bit as he felt the other two fly off into the rain, his own tears falling softly onto Juuhachi's shoulder.

"Yugin...she tried to...kill me," Juuhachi sobbed, "Marron...Krillin...I've lost them both...now I have nobody..."

"That's not true, you still have me," Yugin sniffled, holding her close, "I'll always be here if you need me, whenever you need me...no matter what anyone else thinks."

"You promise?"

"Cross my heart," Yugin smiled, kissing her forehead, "And hope NOT to die..."

Author's Notes: Just to clear things up, the level that Marron just reached is the first of Super Human, a level similar to Super Saiya-jin but that yields a much greater power increase at the first level. She is the first to reach this and will be the only one to in this saga, as it will be coming to a close in two more chapters, upon which time we will begin Goten's journey through the afterlife. I know you're all looking forward to seeing how the youngest son of Goku progresses through his own adventure with Piccolo and Bardock, so stay tuned for that!

The next chapter will feature the funeral services for Krillin, a somber occasion which all but Juuhachi and Yugin will attend, for fear that Trunks might kill them both on principal alone. After that it will skip over to the other two young Saiya-jin, Apio and Berge, who've gone on a journey into space to complete their training, but they run into a bit of trouble early into their trek! To see what that trouble is you'll have to keep reading on, but for now it's on to the readers!

Zara: Well, my thumb is all better now and you were a big help! Thanks honey. MWAH!

Chaos: Yes, Bikini will be Bra's daughter instead of Trunks, but you won't see her for quite some time yet. And as for Juuhachi's relationship developing...well, best not to give to much away just yet.

BballAnimeLover89: Yeah, poor Krillin's heart couldn't take it anymore, but at least now he's happy in the afterlife. Thanx for the reviews!

Super-Saiyan Elvis: Thanks for the review dude, hope to see some more soon!
