Chapter 8: Goku's Malice

Orange Star City – City Hall

Piccolo flew over the abandoned desolate city with the only sound being that of the wind rushing past his pointed green ears.

"...I'm too late." Piccolo stated to himself before landing in front of the city hall building. "What happened here...I could have sworn I felt..." A look of shock came across Piccolo's face as he laid eyes on the corpse of Mr. Satan

As Piccolo began to contemplate the situation he saw Yamcha quickly approaching before landing in front of him.

"Hey, Piccolo." Yamcha greeted.

"Yamcha..." Piccolo replied. "What happened here? I heard there was someone possibly related to the ones who took Goku here but..."

"Yeah, he killed Mr. Satan." Yamcha replied. "I took his daughter to a shelter in a nearby town while Gohan and Krillin went to confront him. Last thing I saw was Gohan clearing the crowd.

"I felt Vegeta." Piccolo stated.

"Yeah, me too." Yamcha replied. "He must have arrived shortly after I left."

"I also felt..." Piccolo began to say before being interrupted by the presence of two individual ki signatures. "Who's there?" Piccolo inquired.

Gohan felt the cold steel of the floor pressing against his face as he slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a dimly lit room with no visible signs of an entrance or an exit. The walls were lined with a green translucent crystal material. The only sound Gohan could hear was from water dripping from a small leaking in a pipe on the ceiling.

'Where am I?" Gohan thought as he stood up and looked around. Gohan searched the room hard for an exit way but to no avail. 'I guess I'll just make one then.' Gohan attempted to punch a hole in one of the walls of the room but it remained completely intact with not a single crack to be seen. Gohan then attempted to form a Kamehameha wave but the energy dissipated as quickly as it was formed. Gohan managed to form a quick energy ball and lob it at the wall only for it be absorbed into it. 'Damn it...' A few moments passed before a hole opened in one of the room's walls. After a brief moment of hesitation, Gohan took a step towards the hole before Goku walked in.

"Hey, son." Goku greeted. "Mom's almost got dinner ready. Ha, I'm just kidding she's not here. Well I mean she was before I killed her."

"...You're lying." Gohan replied.

"Yeah." Goku replied. "You caught me. She's fine...for now. Actually, on second thought I may keep her alive. A man has needs you know."

Without warning Gohan threw a punch at his father who didn't bother to dodge it letting it hit him square in the face.

"That's disappointing." Goku replied completely unfazed by Gohan's punch. "I mean, I know you were holding back but geese that felt like a punch from Mr. Satan. Anyway, I almost forgot what I wanted to tell you...Oh yeah, you should take a look at this."

Goku pointed to the wall behind Gohan. Gohan turned around to see a flat screen monitor appear on the wall. On the screen were live split screen feeds of Vegeta and Krillin being tortured. Krillin being tortured by a random foot soldier while was Vegeta being tortured by Isol.

"You know what's funny?" Goku asked rhetorically "Isol volunteered for that. Something about wanting to knock his smug sense of self-worth down a peg or two."

"You bastard..." Gohan replied. "Why..."

"Because I want to see you break." Goku replied. "From this room, you can watch as everyone you know and love is slowly taken from you one by one.

The feed suddenly switched to outside Orange Star City Hall.

"Ooh look a breaking news story." Goku stated cheerfully.

Gohan watched as Yamcha and Piccolo were confronted by Tuse and Quil.

Orange Star City – City Hall

"I want the green one exclaimed!" Quil exclaimed in a manic voice as stroked his white crystal mohawk.

"Fine by me..." Tuse replied in a calm almost emotionless voice.

"And who are you two ugly nimrods?" Yamcha inquired.

"We're the ass kicking patrol!" Quil exclaimed before pulling an energy projectile in the shape of his mohawk off his head tossing it at Piccolo who dodged it with ease. Quil then proceeded to frantically throw more and more mohawk projectiles at Piccolo who kept on dodging each and every one.

"I guess we should start fighting as well..." Tuse stated as he took a fighting stance.

"Alright." Yamcha replied as he took his fighting stance. "It's been a while since I've gotten to unleash the wolf."

Yamcha and Tuse began exchanging blows each dodging and landing several hits on the other.

Piccolo and Quil took to the sky as Quil continued to throw projectiles. This continued for a few moments before Piccolo saw an opening in Quil's defense. Piccolo grabbed Qual by the arm nearly pulling it out of it's socket in the process.

"Ah, that reeeeally smarts!" Quil exclaimed.

"Yeah and this is going to hurt even worse." Piccolo replied as he formed an energy blast in his other hand but before he could do anything with one of Quil's mohawk projectiles hit the back of Piccolo's hand causing the blast to fade away.

"Looky looky looky looky looky!" Quil repeatedly yelled.

Piccolo looked back to see all the energy projectiles Quil had previously thrown floating in the air, the number ranging in the hundreds.

"I played a tricky on you!" Quil exclaimed before laughing manically.

The projectiles began spinning rapidly like buzz saw blades as they quickly surrounded Piccolo and Quil. The projectiles then began to fly at Piccolo from several directions one of which cut Piccolo's left arm off freeing Quil from Piccolo's grasp.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Quil exclaimed as he backed away slightly allowing the projectiles to completely surround Piccolo from every angle.

Piccolo did his best to try and dodge the projectiles but the numbers proved too many as they began to cut him all over his body. Piccolo began buidling ki up in his body has he vainly attempted to dodge the projectiles before releasing it outwards in the form of an explosive wave destroying every last projectile save for one which Piccolo destroyed with an energy blast. Piccolo quickly regrew his left arm and extended it towards Quil grabbing him by the throat before he could make another projectile. Piccolo retracted his arm bringing Quil up close to him.

"This is sucky..." Quil managed gargle out.

"Indeed." Piccolo replied as he put his right hand on Quil's chest before blasting a big hole in his chest.

Meanwhile, Yamcha seemed to have gotten the upper hand on Tuse as he wailed on him with his wolf fang fist attack before forming a small bright ball of energy in his right hand.

"I think I'll finish this off with my spirit ball attack." Yamcha stated before lobbing the energy ball at Tuse hitting him in the face and exploding upon contact. Tuse was left with a huge burn mark on the left side of his face and a crack in his chin crystal. Tuse attempted to attack but collapsed to the ground mid punch. Seconds after Tuse collapsed Quil's body was dropped next to him with Piccolo landing next to Yamcha a second later.

"Looks like you got a few scrapes on you." Yamcha stated.

"You too." Piccolo replied.

"You know I was hoping for a bit more of a challenge." Yamcha chuckled. "Not that I enjoy getting my ass kicked or anything."

Seconds after Yamcha uttered those words Tuse and Quil's power level's began to increase drastically as a pitch black aura began to surround them. The hole in Quil's chest began to slowly heal while the burns on Tuse's face and the crack on his chin began to heal as well.

"I spoke too soon didn't I?" Yamcha asked rhetorically.

Tuse casually stood back while Quil sprang up laughing even more maniacal than before.

"Looks like it's not quite over." Piccolo said as he took his fighting stance.

"Yeah." Yamcha replied. However, as he went to take his fighting stance Yamcha's neck was suddenly broken killing him instantly.

"Yamcha!" Piccolo exclaimed as he watched his comrade's body collapse lifelessly on the ground.

"Quil, We're not supposed to kill them..." Tuse stated.

"Sorry." Quil replied with a slight snicker in his voice. "We so so so so so so rarely get to use this so it's hard for me to hold back."

"Anyway, let's make sure we capture this one alive..." Tuse replied.

Within the blink of an eye, Quil was face to face with Piccolo while Tuse was directly behind the Namekian.

Before Piccolo could even attempt anything resembling an offense he felt as he had been hit several times over causing him to fall unconscious.

Tuse went to pick up Piccolo's body but as he did the air around Piccolo's body began to warp before Piccolo's body suddenly vanished.

"The fuck!?" Quil exclaimed. "Did you do that? I didn't do that. Did you do that?"

"Yamcha!" Gohan exclaimed in horror as he watched Yamcha get his neck broken.

"Aw man, I was looking forward to hearing him scream." Goku pouted. "Oh well, no use crying over spilled Yamcha. I think I'm gonna torture Piccolo myself."

Goku and Gohan continued to watch as Tuse and Quil knocked out Piccolo and attempted to collect his unconscious body only for it to disappear.

"Hmm...That was odd." Goku stated. "I should probably look into that. Back to the regularly scheduled program, I guess."

The feed switched back to Vegeta and Krillin being tortured as Goku exited the room with the wall closing behind him leaving Gohan helpless and speechless.

Unknown Location

Piccolo lied unconscious in a field of grass underneath a cloudless yet gray sky as an unseen individual approached him from the shadows.

"Wake up." The mysterious individual stated. "Time is of the essence."
