(Previously)
"AAAAAAAHH!", was the scream that broke him out of his thoughts.
"Bulma!", he yelled, and he and Vegeta flew into the left room, and swung open the door to find:

To find what they had most likely expected.
Bulma's head lying against the wall, a large blood stain above it, most likely it was thrown there,
and her body lie the other side, headless, and already soaking with blood.
Goku would have grieved for his murdered friend, had he not already lost all love for life, and therefore it did not matter to him.
He was ready to go to the afterlife, he despised the life he currently lived anyway.
Even Vegeta, whose mate it was that lay dead before him, showed little display of emotion either.
Instead, he chose to merely stare stoically at her dead body.
After a few moments of silently surveying Bulma's dead body, Goku found the ambulance to inform them of the latest death.
Goku informed Krillin as well, but even he hardly seemed fazed at Bulma's murder.
They had all become slightly emotionless over the long, grievous weekend.
It seemed the murderer had truly suceeded, not only in killing the Z-fighters physically, but emotionally as well.
The Great Z-Warriors, protectors of Earth, were now reduced to a group of three, lifeless puppets, just waiting to die,
as they were too idiotic to figure out the mystery.
Even after Goku had told them about the hint he had received, they were all still clueless.
The killer knew what he was doing; he feared being discovered, and knew the only one able to perform this feat would have been the genius Bulma.
Therefore, he had put an end to her immediately after giving Goku the note.
He gave Goku quite a large hint, but knew the brainless Saiyan would have no luck in finding out his identity.
The remaints of the once powerful Z-fighters spent the rest of the day pondering over the mystery, trying desperately to come up with an answer.
The night, was a peaceful one, though.
Not a single killing took place during the course of the night.
It seemed the murderer had other plans for the Z-fighters, and instead chose to once again change his mind, and drag out their death,
as he had done several times previously.
Goku, spent the night pondering over the order of the killings, starting from the beginning.
"First it was Chiaotzu, the weakest of us. Then Tien, also one of the weak guys.
Then it was Yamcha, who was just as weak as the rest...
But then it was Chi-Chi, who was weaker then Yamcha, so if the killer wanted to kill from weakest to strongest, why'd he kill Chi-Chi so late?
Then again, if you count her 'Frying Pan of Doom' she can be pretty deadly...", thought Goku, smiling as he remembered his late wife.
"And now it's Bulma, although she was the weakest of the group...But she had the brains required to solve this mystery,
maybe that's why the killer chose to murder he so late? As she would be ranked above the others in this mystery, and the most useful to it.
Now, without her, I'd say we have pretty little chance of ever finding out the killer's identity...
It seems the Z-gang has finally found an unbeatable challenge...
To think, we could destroy an enemy as powerful as Majin Buu, who even had regeneration abilities,
but we're unable to solve such a small mystery, even after receiving so many hints..."
With that Goku was about to give up and drift off to sleep, when his earlier thoughts struck him hard.
"Wait a minute, if he's planning on killing us in that order, then his next targets should be...Goten and Trunks!"
To say Goku flew out of bed was an understatement.
Instant Transmission would have taken too long at that moment, and Goku settled for flying to his son's room, which was right next to his.
Upon entering, Goku noticed the room was empty of any evil villian, or any other person for that matter, save Trunks and Goten, who was both fast asleep.
Relieved, Goku turned off the light in the room, shrouding the room once more in darkness, before he closed the door and headed back to his own room,
and fell asleep this time.
The next morning, Goku woke up rather late, at 10:00 PM precisely.
Yawning, Goku stepped out of bed lethargically, before he remembered about Trunks and Goten, and quickly rushed into their room to see if they were safe.
Goku, had expected at the very most, to see Trunks and Goten's headless bodies, but was greeted with a much more gruesome sight.
Infront of him, on the floor, lay Goten and Trunk's decapitated bodies, arms and leg's of the two lay scattered around the room, as well as their heads,
which could hardly be seen due to the excessive blood.
Goku had never been one to get sick at such sights, but for once, wanted to puke.
He had not expected the murderer to have been that cruel to the children, but thought it must have been done to cause more pain to their parents.
Surveying the room further, Goku noticed the cursed white envelope in Trunk's crib.
Goku knew it would most likely contain another clue, but hardly cared about that now.
After all, now it was only him, Vegeta and Krillin left, and he did not know if Gohan was either dead or alive.
But deciding against just leaving it there, Goku reached out with a shaky hand, and tore open the envelope, pulling out the single white note contained therein.
Goku read it silently to himself:
"I got your bald friend too, now it's just the vegetable headed prince and you.
I knew you'd never be able to figure out this mystery with that puny brain of your's, but anyway, here's a final hint for you:
'We both like to eat.'
Yes, that's it.
Now I'll give you one final day to figure it out, and if by tonight you have not yet learned my name, you will meet the same faith as your friends.
P.S: I killed your first born too."
Goku gawked at the final part of the message.
"They killed Gohan too?!" Goku thought in both rage and surprise, and couldn't believe he had been suspicous of Gohan.
Now it was just him and Vegeta, and just one day to live.
Goku knew he would not live through the night, and was tempted to go out and do everything he had always wanted to do,
even see what it was like to senselessly murder people and destroy towns, but his morals battled against it.
He had always lived a righteous life, why throw it all away for nothing, just because it was your last day to live?
With that, Goku left the room after calling the ambulance for the umpteenth time that week, and informed Vegeta of the bad news.
However, Vegeta's reaction was not much different from his, but nevertheless, the two Saiyans began to devise a plan.
They now knew that the killer would be visiting that night, and decided that if it was the last thing they did, they would destroy him,
and not die till they were sure he was suffering in hell.
Their plan was that both of them would stay awake, and whichever one of them the killer decided to attack first, would signal the other,
and then they would capture him.
After devising their master plan, the two hungry Saiyans raided the Capsure Corporation fridge, and ate tons of food.
After all, if it was indeed their last day on Earth, they wanted to enjoy it.
The rest of the day went fine, and they decided not to train for that day, in order to save their energy for the enemy they'd be soon facing.
And they were right, that night, after Goku and Vegeta were both in bed, fully awake, acting as if they were sleeping, the famous Masked Murderer
snuck into Vegeta's room silently, so silent Vegeta was sure he would not have heard it if he was asleep, and could then understand how the others had not heard it.
At the final moment as the killer reached Vegeta's bead, and drew out his dagger, Vegeta signalled Goku.
It was no original signal, infact, all Vegeta did was simply whistle loudly to Goku, who heard it instantly due to his sensitive Saiyan hearing,
and he immediately pounced fully dressed out of bed, and flew towards Vegeta's room, which was only a short distance away.
Turning around, Vegeta smirked at the murderer, unable to see his expression due to his mask still covering his face.
"Now then, time to finally find out who you really are...", Vegeta said as he took hold of the murderer's mask, and tore it off his face,
and was met with the site of a face similar to his, long spiky hair that cascaded down to the killer's back, and the trademark Saiyan smirk.
"Raditz?!", Vegeta yelled, his hand still crushing Raditz's hand which contained the knife.
Signalling to his friend, the secondary bulky murderer blasted Vegeta from the back, causing him to drop Raditz's hand.
"Nappa?!", Vegeta spat as the killer's friend stepped closer, and Vegeta could see the same smug smirk Nappa always carried,
along with his shining bald head, which would have surely blinded Vegeta had the room light been on, but luckily for him, it was not.
But Vegeta, due to his surprise at seeing his old guardian, did not realize until it was too late that the killer was attacking,
and turned at the last second only to have his head chopped off his shoulders.
"Vegeta!", Goku yelled from the doorway as he bursted in, and witnessed the sight before him.
