Chapter 3: Flashbacks and the present

Flashback

"Vegeta, I didn't know, I would have stopped him, I wouldn't have let this happen," Goku began to ramble; a blank look was stuck on his face.

"How could you do this man, how could you let her get hurt like that," Vegeta felt betrayed inside, he couldn't believe that Goku had let this happen.

"Come on TVegeta, you don't think I don't feel bad enough about this; this is all my fault I'm going to have to live with knowing that I let this happen for the rest of my life. I should have taken her home when I realized how drunk she was; I shouldn't have let her push me away. But when I saw her kissing that guy my heart broke and I just was over her," his head began to shake as tears fell from his dark eyes, "I was watching her Vegeta and then I ran and stopped watching."

"I just don't understand how you weren't even watching her ki; it was fading fast, I just don't know how you didn't feel that," Vegeta asked confused?

"I wasn't watching it Vegeta, I didn't want to know what she was doing with that guy, I didn't want to feel it."

Vegeta turned his back to his friend, staring out into the open sky; trying to process what Goku had just said to him. He wasn't sure how much to believe, how much of the story his friend was telling; but he could see that Goku was truly hurting inside, and knowing Goku he wouldn't forgive himself for a long time.

"I'm going to go find Alena, they are taking her to the hospital to get checked out," Vegeta didn't turn around as he spoke, just continued to look forward, "I suggest you stay away from her for awhile, my father isn't going to be too happy about this."

"Vegeta, I understand if you hate me, because if you feel half the hate that I feel for myself right now then I completely understand. Just please tell Alena I'm sorry."

End flashback.

'What're you thinking." Interrupted Betelgeuse. They had been travelling for a while now. Having ridden himself of those two ghosts and that damn Lydia and her family had brought the most unexpected pleasure ever.

Flashback

'Run betelguese is back." A noise came from behind as they preparing to leave.

Are the always that annoying." Muttered Goku, clearly annoyed.

'Nah usually they're pretty fun, guess we scared them huh." said Betelgeuse proudly.

"Let's just get this over with." said Goku. "You take care of the humans while I see to the ghosts. With that a strange ring surrounded Goku and before Betelgeuse knew it, it had enveloped him, changing his hair from black to silver and grew spiky, his ebony eyes to a bright green, his gi changed to a strange black costume with silver gloves and boots.

"You're full of surprises aren't you?" laughed Betelgeuse.

"You ain't seen anything yet." Goku said, with smirk. With that he went invisible and passed through the wall.

'Like I said full of surprises." With that Betelgeuse himself disappeared. He found the family trying to escape from the backdoor; too bad they weren't going to make it. He crossed his fingers; a flood of acid broke through the ceiling and drenched the Deetzes, burning them alive. Betelgeuse walked over to the burnt corpse of Lydia. "Tsk tsk tsk we could have had so much fun, now it's only me."

"I wouldn't say that." Said Goku appearing before him.

"Did you do the job on them?" Giggled Betelgeuse.

"I only twisted my hands, the lamia did the rest of the work." Said Goku smiling evilly.

"The who….?" Asked Betelgeuse confused.

Goku sighed, annoyed again. "Forget it."

End flashback.

"Nothing." Goku replied, looking down.

"Seriously you had this face which I always used to have when I was thinking of Lydia." He laughed.

"Shut up! Will you?" snarled Goku. 'We're almost there."

"So this Bruce Wayne, what's the history between you and him." Betelgeuse asked.

"We have some unfinished business to attend to." Said Goku.

"You seem mad, what he took your girlfriend." Laughed Betelgeuse.

"No but I'm going to take his." Bellowed Goku, enraged, but then quickly calmed down. "We're here." He said.

Betelgeuse looked around at the large skyscrapers of Gotham city. "Nice place, a bit too dull for my liking though." He said making a face.

"Don't worry we won't be here for long." Goku proclaimed.

"What makes you say that?" Asked Betelgeuse.

"Because the guy im looking for…."said Goku.

"He's right behind me isn't he?" Said Betelgeuse nervously.

"No actually he's right on top of you." Said Goku.

Betelgeuse immediately looked up as a bat like creature pounced on him causing him to lose consciousness.
