Chapter 8 – THRILLER!!

Lead stalked to his seat with an annoyed and slightly irritated air. His thoughts were filled with plans of all kinds. He barely noticed the squishing noise or the wetness of his pants as he sat down and began to draw. The bully loved to draw. He loved to draw gruesome images of his victims, and then he would show the intended target just to keep his power alive. The picture he drew had Goten swimming in the toilet and the water was red. He was just about to throw a pencil at the intended victim to get the intention of the naïve boy, until he felt something wet seeping through his pants and he screeched like a girl. The bully had sat on a pile of unchi kun. The bully was now furious and officially humiliated. Wailing about how his favorite pants had gotten soiled by excrement, the mullet-head ran out the door. What he didn't notice was a certain demi-Saiyan's smirk as he rushed past her.

Kelsey was quite pleased. Phase one of her plan was complete

-- Capsule Corp --

"MOOOM! Moooooomm!" Trunks was so weak that his voice could only reach above a whisper. Bulma rushed into the room and knelt by his side

"What? What is it, Trunks? What's wrong?"

The boy blushed in embarrassment that his Mother saw him at his weakest. Nevertheless, what he had to say was urgent and he begged his Mom to come closer, which she did

"Mom, I have a…request"

"Anything sweetie, name it. Cold water, your work for today, Ramen…"

"No, no water, I don't wanna work now and my stomach's gonna 'SPLODE if I eat any more Ramen"

"Then what do you need?" Trunks sighed

"This is it."

Bulma was confused "You want me to stay here next to you?"

The boy shook his head and repeated,

"This Is It."

Bulma was slightly annoyed by this time

"Trunks I don't know what—"

Trunks gestured his head to a small disc on the coffee table. Kelsey had given it to him before she had gone off to school that morning. His sister had told him she was sorry and would accept that gift as a thank you. Trunks looked at it and immediately accepted the gift. The injured Prince-to-be repeated for the third and final time his desire

"NO. This IS IT. I want This IS IT. Can you play it Mom? Please?"

Bulma's eyes went wide as she realized what her son wanted. She giggled and sighed in relief and ruffled Trunks' lavender locks as she picked up the DVD and put it in the player

"What am I going to do with you kid? For a second, I though you needed HELP. I can't believe it. The Son of The Prince Of All Saiyans is a fan of the King of Pop! Ironic if you ask me"

Trunks gave a weak chuckle and focused on the tune. He was going to have to remember to get Kelsey that World Tournament game for the Capstation 8 for her birthday as a thank you for the disc

-- Orange Star Elementary --

Goten was happy. He was hungry and Kelsey had been running around placing unchi kun in lead's general space and the bully had not bothered him that day so far. On top of that, the first game of the season was coming up! Kelsey, Trunks, hopefully, and him had made plans to practice at Mt. Paozu and it was gonna be FUN! Goten was so happy he didn't notice the shadow lurking behind him until it was too late

"GLOMP ATTACK!!"

The boy looked up from the ground to see a very happy Kelsey starring down at him. Goten grinned and stood up

"You're getting better at hiding your chi, Kelsey! Are you ready for the first game Monday?"

"You bet I am!"

"ME TOO! Gohan said that he's gonna come watch me play! Cool, huh?"

"Yea it is! Hey, Chibi, mind if I walk you home? I mean, FLY you home? I really do NOT want a repeat of last time"

"Uhmmmm well, OK. But we hafta go a different way then I did before. It's safer. Though, if anything happens, then I got it!"

Kelsey smacked him upside the head,

"You're sweet, Chibi. Unfortunately, you're also ignorant. Don't forget that I'm a Saiyan too! I'm more than capable of protecting myself"

Goten laughed and the two headed for Mt, Paozu not knowing that a shadow had been watching them the whole time with growing hatred

"Saiyan's, huh? Well that explains a lot. Too bad that it changes NOTHING! Well, the smart thing to do would be to take out Briefs but it appears I m going to have to take out Son first, I'll bide my time and make him squirm a little. Then I'll strike" Lead turned and walked to his house, his plans taking a cruel turn as he picked up his pencil and began to draw.

-- Next Day, Practice --

"Our first game of the season is THIS Monday, and WHAT are we planning to do?"

"WIN!" the team shouted

"Ok, we'll start off with the 30 yard dash, PLACES" the kids got into position "GO" and off they went. All the players were slouched over hands on their knees, panting; trying to catch their breath while Kelsey was talking to Goten

"Alright so can you PLEASE just focus on practice?" she asked with pleading eyes, "I didn't kill these idiots in tryouts for nothing you know" Goten laughed

"Kels, you're Captain EVERY year, why would it matter if you were competing for my sake or not?"

"Because I really like having you on the team, Chibi, who else am I gonna talk to during practice? Definitely not these morons" they laughed

"Alright now take a drink and head to the dugout" coach demanded. Kelsey and Goten headed to the dugout and sat there talking waiting for the other's to do the same

"NOW, we'll start of with the usual, I want the outfielder's over there, batter's lined up on home, infielder's on the infield and pitcher's in the bull pen. In a half hour meet back here and I'll tell you what's next" player's did as they were told. Kelsey walked over to grab her glove when Lead came over and started to provoke her

"How's your beloved Brother, CAPTAIN?" he smirked

"Don't START with me Pencil, what you did to my brother was an act of a WEAKLING. If your business is with me then it's with ME, there's NO reason to get Trunks, Goten or anybody into this" she snarled while taking steps forward causing Lead to back up against the fence but he was smirking at her, that's EXACTLY what he wanted her to do. The fact that he was smirking at her only made her angrier. She growled

"Wipe that smirk off your FACE coward!"

"KELSEY!" the coach yelled but she didn't move "Bullpen" he pointed towards it "NOW" she just growled at him

"Don't you EVER go near my Brother again, GOT THAT"

"Of course, TINY" he grinned at her, that did it. He provoked her ENOUGH. She raised a clenched fist, ready to deck the bully in the face only to have someone grab her wrist and pull her back causing her to stumble

"What are you doing" Goten stated more than asked "You don't wanna do that or you'll be kicked of the team, that's exactly what he wants you to do Kels, just get to the bullpen" she snorted knowing Goten was right "Just keep your cool and I promise to keep my focus" he smiled at her she casually nodded and stomped off to the bullpen and in a half hour they met back at the dugout

"Now, we're going to do what's called '50'. You're going take your positions and I'm gonna have Kelsey pitch you practice throws and I'll time how fast the fungoe ball reaches first base. You must make 50 straight plays in less than 5 seconds, each mistake turns the count of plays back to zero. Son, I want you at first" Goten nodded and took his position "I want the starters to take position and the rest of you to line up, you're ALL going to be at bat" the team went at it. The count of plays went down to zero at least 10 times and the players were exhausted. Goten showed improvement and Kelsey was glad

"Take 5 and we're ending with Perfect Innings" a half hour later, practice was over

The team Captain sighed in content. Today had been a good day excluding the incident with Lead and Chibi had done exceptionally well during practice. The girl opened her locker and a note fell out. Hoping for a certain kind of letter, the young Captain eagerly opened the enveloped. Then shrieked in horror. The note was a carefully drawn picture of Goten hanging by his neck above bloody spikes, a stake protruding from his chest. On the bottom of the page read the words 'FIRST BLOOD'.

Frightened, Kelsey flew home, hoping against hope that her weak brother would be awake. She needed comfort and she needed safety and Trunks was usually the provider for both needs and she really needed her older brother now.

The youngest Briefs opened the door to Capsule Corp. and was greeted by the loud shrieking of monsters and the dead, and an eerie voice that scared her almost as much as the image she had received. The voice was coming from her brother, and the tone was deathly freaky as it growled a chant of doom.

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the THRILLER!

Trunks erupted into an eerie call that was the pinnacle of scary to Kelsey at that moment, making her involuntarily scream as her brother leaped up and did the BEAR walk before collapsing on the couch again

"Cause this is thriller, thriller night. And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike. You know its thriller, thriller night. You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight!"

Kelsey waited for her idiot MJ obsessed brother to get back to normal mode before approaching him with her problem

"Are you done being a fan boy? I really need you're help, Trunks. There's a REALLY serious issue I have to deal with and I…I…I'm SCARED."

The words barely escaped the girl's mouth before her Brother turned serious, feeling sorry for causing any more fear to her then she already had Did she just admit she's scared of something? Trunks thought. This had to be serious for it was rare that the girl has ever admitted to being scared. He listened intently as Kelsey told him of the note and she shakily held the slip of paper to her older brother.

Trunks felt his heart burn and his blood boil as he looked at the gruesome drawing. The detail was so advanced for a chibi, the picture might as well be a photograph, it was so lifelike. One thing was clear. The warning's intended purpose had been accomplished. Kelsey Briefs was scared

"Oh, Kels…oh man. This is…this is horrible! Come her, Tiny. Come her a bit and calm down. Come on, this'll cheer ya up! The next song is your favorite, remember? And don't worry 'bout Pencil, he's just tryna scare ya"

Trunks used his remaining energy to sit up and put Kelsey on his lap. There they stayed until Trunks' strength finally gave out. He looked down at his shaken sister and saw she had fallen asleep so he sat on one end of the couch and positioned his sister laying on the couch her head on his lap. His head rested upon the armrest and fatigue quickly took over he put a hand over Kelsey's back rubbing it comfortingly and quickly fell asleep, "Beat It" playing in the background.

-- Next Day, After School, Mt. Paozu --

Goten was excited. His English assignment was to write a science fiction story about an intergalactic battle between two enemies. When he had asked what science fiction was, his teacher told him that it had to do with aliens and of course Goten knew enough to keep his mouth closed about HIS heritage, but he knew that his Father's story would get him an A. Reaching into his orange backpack, Goten brought out his folder and a little slip of paper fell out. Reaching down looking at the note curiously, a big smile crossed his face

"MOMMY!! I GOT A LOVE NOTE!!" he hollered excitedly, waving the piece of paper and singing as her ran through the house,

"I got a love note! Love note, LOVE NOTE. I got a LOVE NOTE, yippee, yippee, YIPEEE!!" Chi-Chi giggled at her youngest's behavior and snatched the note away to read it herself. The lady squealed in delight and reported in an adoring voice,

"Oh DENDE, it's TRUE!! My little boy finally found himself a GIRLFRIEND!! Listen to this, Gohan!!" The older Son glanced up from his book mountain and groaned but listened to the note for his brother's sake

"Goten, meet me in the dugout tonight at 7 so we can get some practice in early. Bring some Zenni for ice cream afterwards. I love you, Chibi. And the note signed….K BRIEFS! OH MY GOODNESS! I HAVE to call BULMA!! This is soooooo cute!"

Chi-Chi was ecstatic and ran to the phone to call the genius. Gohan sighed as Goten skipped around, still chanting his little ditty. The older hybrid watched his Mother get Goten ready for the 'date'. Then a sudden anxiety struck him. Something about this was not right. His warning sense never failed him and he had no reason to doubt it now. Obviously the note was legit, since Bulma knew about it and probably coaxed her daughter into writing it so the girl would take her mind off of Trunks for a while but something in the air just didn't feel right

"Goten" the older boy warned. Goten looked attentively at his older brother and Gohan continued, "If you run into any trouble, give a signal, you know that I'll come running. Got it?"

"Gohan, what're you afraid will happen? It's only a DATE!" Chi-Chi giggled at what she thought was an over action on Gohan's part

"I just have this feeling that something is wrong," Gohan cautioned as Goten called Kinto-Un and took off. Gohan watched his little brother disappear with a heavy feeling in his gut "Be CARFEUL, Squirt. Please"

-- Elsewhere --

She stomped her foot impatiently and glanced at the sky. Kelsey would rather be tending to Trunks right now. But she really DID want to spend time with Goten and she DID need some fresh air. So the girl waited. Finally, a tiny golden speck crossed the sky and Goten appeared. Laughing, the two chibi's glomped each other in greeting and began a small wrestling match in the field of grass. The cool night air swirled around them, making Goten giggle and Kelsey feel wild inside. She tackled the older chibi again and the two fell in a small rut, landing with Kelsey on top. The girl chuckled and mock scolded

"Goten, we're supposed to be practicing you know"

He snorted and pouted, then, Goten remembered seeing Gohan and Videl just like this, with her on top of him. The girl had leaned over and so Goten…SMACK!!!

"GOTEN!! What do you think you're DOING?!" Kelsey roared. Rubbing her check where the naïve Son boy had pecked her

Goten was very confused. What had gone wrong? He decided to redeem himself right away before the girl version of Vegeta REALLY had his head

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Pleaaaaaaase don't hate me! I won't do it again I PROMISE!" Kelsey blinked and smiled

"S'alright. Besides how can you stay mad at someone on a great night like this. Look at the moon" she pointed

Goten looked and found himself mesmerized by the big white sphere. It really was a beautiful sight. He inched closer to Kelsey. Closer and closer until their hands touched. Startled, both kids jerked apart, blushing in embarrassment. Goten covered his eyes and tried to cover Kelsey's as well but she pushed his hand away

"What's with you, Goten?"

"Sorry Kelsey, but my Mommy told me to never look at the full moon because when my Dad was little, he looked at the moon and he turned into a giant monster and KILLED my great Grandpa by steppin on him! My family always goes to bed early so it doesn't happen ever again" Kelsey giggled

"Goten! Your Dad turned into an Oozaru! ALL Saiyans can do that but ONLY if they have a tail! WE don't have tails so we CAN look at the moon whenever we feel like it! Now LOOK, it's AMAZING!"

The two got out of the ice cream shop and headed for the park to eat. Goten had a quadruple scoop cone with lemon, mango, cherry and lime scoops and Kelsey got seven scoops of every fruit imaginable. They found a bench and sat down to eat

"Thanks, for coming tonight Goten. Mom wanted me to stop worrying about Trunks for a while"

"Well, I'm glad I can help, Kelsey" he smiled at her

They stayed that way for a while before heading in the direction of Capsule Corp. They did not see the many pairs of eyes looking at them until they were surrounded. Kelsey got into fighting stance and Goten moved in front of her, fists at the ready. The mob parted and Lead walked through the middle, cracking his knuckles

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. Two lovebirds far from home and so…ALONE" the gang snickered menacingly. Goten was going to flare his energy but stopped. He could handle this all by himself couldn't he? he snarled

"Leave us alone" Lead burst out a cold, heartless laugh

"Leave you alone, Son? Why would I want to do that?! You two have been NOTHING but trouble for me and my boys. Especially YOU Briefs! Now, I'm gonna make you pay!" Kelsey growled and pushed Goten aside

"Lead, you SWINE! If your business is with ME then leave Son OUT of this! I'll take you ALL on just by MYSELF!"

Several of the posse moved back. They were intimidated by the fiery-eyed girl and believed that Kelsey would indeed beat ALL of them on her own. Lead and 17 others, though, moved in on the feisty Daughter of Vegeta, weapons drawn. Kelsey grinned ferally. She was a Saiyan kid on a sugar rush and her endorphins were having a party. Plus, she had some business to take care of between herself and the leader

"You'll PAY for what you did to my Brother, BASTARDS! Using Goten as a shield, WEAKLINGS! I WILL make you suffer for every bruise, every INJURY you inflicted on Trunks! Lead, you're going DOWN!"

Lead snickered as his followers began to circle the female chibi. Goten stepped forward but Kelsey glared at him and made him stay back She then began to power up subtly and would have been content to stay at slightly higher levels if Lead hadn't taken out his knife-still stained with hybrid blood and began chewing on the tip

"Your idiot Brother was so easy to snare, I'm surprised we didn't take him out sooner. That isn't important right now. Hand over the Son boy before we hurt you worse than that lowlife weakling MONKEY"

That did it

Kelsey roared in rage and powered up, her hair flaring as if wind were blowing, her eyes sparkling with pure energy and her aura erupting in a crackling explosion, sending debris everywhere. Turning her feral gaze on Lead, the fully powered Super Saiyan growled in a voice laced with steel and hatred that was barely controlled

"For those words, Lead Pencil, and for the honor of my Brother and because you REALLY piss me off…I AM GOING TO HURT YOU!! Now, beg for mercy from the Daughter of Vegeta, and the ONLY female SUPER SAIYAN in existence!"

Goten watched in stunned silence, unable to do anything as he slowly backed away into a building wall. He had never seen Kelsey like this before, and he shuddered as he looked into the teal eyes of his friend and saw…VEGETA. The gaze that met his was a mirror image of Vegeta's death glare. The glare the Prince only used towards those that he intended to obliterate. With a loud cry of anger, a bright flash and the rumbling of the ground, the mob fell, one by one leaving the Leader the last one standing and debris flying in all directions. One boy's neck was bent and an odd angle and another boy's spine shattered in the furious attack of a Saiyan enraged. Cowering, the Leader and the rest of the gang retreated leaving the demi-Saiyans and casualties at the scene.

"You'll PAY for this, Briefs! You'll PAY!!"

Goten waited for the girl to power down before approaching timidly. Kelsey blinked as her eyes dilated back to their basic size and she looked around at the destruction everywhere, the calmed Saiyan Princess suddenly came to turns with what she had done. Rushing over to the boy with the bent neck. Kelsey felt for a pulse. There was none

"No" she croaked, her eyes filling with tears. Goten knelt beside his friend, putting a hand on her shoulder. A pair of eyes identical to those of the Saiyan Prince looked up at the soft sympathetic gaze of the youngest son of Goku. Kelsey looked away, distress taking over her, anxiety filling her mind. The more she tried to retain control the more she was losing it

"Goten…I…I never meant for it to go this far. I—I didn't meant to…to KILL anyone! What did I DO?" the small girl broke into tears. The compassionate Goku clone squat down and held the sobbing girl to his chest murmuring softly

"No one's gonna fine this out from me, Kels. I know you couldn't help it, so the best thing would be to walk away from this and promise it will never happen again. You're always gonna be my friend. Please don't cry Kels. It's not like you. I'll help if you want, just don't cry" his eyes grew hard and he held Kelsey even closer

"DARN LEAD! If he does this to you again, I'll beat him up! I WILL! I don't care what he does to me, I'll do take him like I did Buu and Broly. I can't hold back for that bully anymore!" Goten's rant was on a roll but was cut off by the little girl's giggle

"Stop ranting, bud. You KNOW if Lead was here now you'd cower like always. Your Saiyan rage is as dormant as your Dad's. It's not in your nature to be violent. Thanks for the thought though. Wanna head home?"

Goten nodded and the two continued their stroll to Capsule Corp. Goten suddenly taking on a more wary and confident attitude. Something had awaken in the boy, and that something was beginning to take root and grow

-- Mt. Paozu --

Gohan's eyes widened as he felt the heaviness of an attack. He gasped. Chi-Chi turned to her eldest son concerned

"Gohan. What is it? Is everything alright?"

"Something. Something happened. I don't know what it is." Goten's fine though, so what happened? He asked himself

"Maybe you should check it out dear, make sure everything's alright" Gohan nodded and made his way out the door

-- Capsule Corp. --

Vegeta was in the middle of training when a great magnitude of ki rushed in his head

"What in the—" Vegeta stopped training and focused. His eyes furrowed. His eyes widened a little slightly shocked at what scenario he picked up

"It couldn't have been the girl, could it? What the HELL is she doing?!" he growled aggravated and took off where he sensed the energy

Vegeta felt someone near. He looked back and saw Gohan

"Vegeta!"

"What" he snapped

"You felt that too huh. Do you think something went wrong?" Vegeta said nothing but kept flying. He didn't want to think about outcome of what they'd find at the scene although he had a pretty good idea. They finally reached the alley. There was rubble and debris everywhere. Everything was destroyed from what they could see. Gohan landed near Vegeta and they looked around

"Kakabrat! Come here and look!" Vegeta pointed in fatherly pride and disgust at the floor of the alleyway. There, the neck twisted at an irregular angle and an expression of horror forever frozen on its face, laid a human child. Gohan nearly vomited as his eyes as his eyes fell on another motionless, ki-less form lying in the darkened alley. Two casualties. Both children were unmistakably dead.

"No…you don't think that Kelsey—"

"Actually, I do" the Prince interrupted. Vegeta smirked as he pointed to the spine of one of the boys

"This was done using an execution blow I taught her. The back is struck, leaving the spine in splinters. I doubt Kakarot taught YOU such a ruthless move, so your fool of a brother cold not have POSSIBLY landed the blow!" Vegeta paused for a second "Although I made it clear or at least I though it got through that stubborn head of hers that the move is ONLY used in combat. These human idiots couldn't possibly have been a threat to her."

Gohan was still shaken by the fact that a 7-year-old girl had killed two kids in effortless cold blood

"V-Vegeta…Kelsey MURDERED two CIVILIANS. What are WE gonna do?"

The Prince shrugged,

"Nothing. Obviously these weaklings deserved what they were given. Kelsey is reckless, I know that, but she would never cause casualties without being pushed into doing so. The imbeciles clearly provoked her into doing this."

Vegeta thought about what happened the other day in the Gravity Room when she first ascended to a Super Saiyan. He had done the same. He taunted the girl until she lost control and the outcome was him getting blasted through the wall because his words forced the girl above her limits. He continued,

"The brat tends to go on a blind rage in an instant, causing her to lose all restraint and forcing her to make rash decisions. They were her enemies and she handled them like a true Saiyan!"

Gohan powered up in fury,

"I can't believe this! They were KIDS, Vegeta! They were a couple years older then TRUNKS! I though you changed over the years, but it looks like you're still as heartless as ever!" the oldest Son boy found himself kneeling down, Vegeta's fist digging into his gut

"I am a SAIYAN! I raise my spawns as Saiyans which is more than I can say for your idiot Father! If that were Trunks laying there, my attitude would be the same is it is now! I am not heartless. I am RATIONAL! Casualties are regrettable, but sometimes they are INEVITABLE and there is no point on dwelling on events that have already passed!"

"So, you're NOT gonna punish her for MURDER?" Gohan finally said when he had gained his composure. Vegeta shook his head

"No. As far as I'm concerned, this never happened. Kelsey is a true Saiyan. She has just earned the right to become a warrior. You can alert the families of these vermin. I…I have to do some thinking"

The Saiyan Prince flew off leaving Gohan to wonder what had just happened in that head of his. Shrugging, he carefully picked up the limp lifeless boys and headed for the morgue.

After 7 years, Vegeta FINALLY saw his daughter as an EQUAL to Trunks. From this incident, she had gained her Father's respect. Going through the past few years he would have never thought has demi-Saiyan daughter would turn out to be this way. A Warrior born, indeed.
