The laughter echoed throughout the empty streets.
"Now... time for some target practice." Eli said to himself, "Let's see if there are any humans left in this God forsaken city."
He began to slowly walk through the streets, and every step he took was repeated behind him. Eli stopped.
"Come out. I know someone's there, and I'll blow up the whole city if you don't show yourself." Eli yelled.
In response, the mysterious mind-controlling creature emerged from the shadows. He wore a brown hooded cape, his dark red eyes were as glowing lights in the darkness of his face.
"Greetings." The creature started, "I have been watching you for quite some time now, young Eli. My name is Mazgur."
"You.." Eli responded in a surprised tone, "You're the voice I've been hearing in my head."
"Yes... but do not assume to think I made you what you are now. I merely took the doubt and selfconsciousness from your mind. I made sure you were no longer afraid to use your power. And now, now that the Earth's strongest have fallen, we can rule, side by side, over this planet and destroy anything in our way."
Eli's look turned more serious.
"You force me to think what you want me to think, and you force me to use my power on the ones I care about. You make me do all the work, and yet now... you emerge from your hiding place to rule the Earth with me, killing everything that displeases me or you. You are a vile creature, Mazgur, but I like your idea."
Mazgur grinned.
"You will not regret this, Eli, we will"
"Wait." Eli interrupted, "You said to kill everything that displeases us. Well..."
Eli paused for a moment as he smiled evilly.
"You displease me." Eli finished as he launched an energy blast through Mazgur's chest, killing him.
"Foolish trickster." He added as he walked away.
"Earlier this afternoon in East City, no less than 4 city blocks were destroyed as a cause of 3 people fighting with massive power. Number of casualties is yet to be known."
"Damn it!" Krillin said as he turned off the TV. "Who is that kid, and why is he doing this? He already took out Goku and Gohan, and now we definitely don't stand a chance! I have to go to Piccolo... he'll know what to do!"
"Be careful, Krillin. I don't want to save you... again... ugh, I guess I just have to go with him..." #18 said as she followed Krillin who flew out the window in the direction of Dende's lookout.
Upon arriving, they were greeted by all the remaining Z senshi. Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Goten and Mr. Buu were there. Even Mr. Satan was, even though he was forced to come along with Mr. Buu.
"Listen to me, all of you." Piccolo started, "That boy down there is Vegeta's son. He has extraordinary potential, and for some reason he decided to use it for evil. If we want to defeat this guy, we'll have to come up with a decent battle plan."
"We have to warn Bulma." A familiar voice said. To everyone's surprise, it was Goku, who had just come out of the palace's front entrance. "She's the only one that can talk some sense into him."
"Talk some sense into him?" Goten interrupted angrily, "Dad, are you forgetting he killed my brother? Gohan was even stronger than you are, and he couldn't even find a way to stop that maniac! What makes you think talking is going to change anything?"
"I thought I'd never say this, but Goten's right." Piccolo added, "The only thing that'll achieve is endangering Bulma as well. We should use the power of Shenron, and bring back everyone Eli killed. That way, we'll have Gohan and Gotenks to back us up."
