Episode 06:
FAHREN REVEALS ALL: HIS REASON FOR VENGEANCE
Fahren's body glistened in his blue aura, no indication of the struggle from before was evident. He made a grab for his father but was met with a series of blows by Gotenks who was not letting up having made a connection, not even concerned that the onslaught was not making any impact whatsoever. Grabbing them easily by the shirt, Fahren drove his knee into the pit of the stomach and punched him in the face which forced a projectile of blood and saliva.
"Please, stop!" begged Vegeta.
Fahren slapped the hybrid warrior back and forth, clearly in jest but the blows were so impressive that it quickly bruised and bloodied the boy's face. His face lit up with glee, "Did you stop when you killed my mother?"
Vegeta was so enraged that he levelled up to super saiyan in a blink of an eye, "If you knew what really happened."
"I know more than enough," Fahren said firmly and he proceeded to compress the boy's head between his large hands.
"Stop!" yelled Vegeta as he unleashed a powerful blast. The blast dissolved away to nothing at the touch of Fahren's aura.
"Humph. Is that the best you can do?"
"They've had more than enough. Come, I'm right here."
"Very well, father." Fahren released his hold on the now unconscious Gotenks.
Vegeta was about to go after him but Fahren motioned him to stop and he obeyed reluctantly. Realising how helpless he was fuelled his rage. He studied the man before him and an intense sorrow shone in his eyes, "I was prepared to die during our first battle when I discovered that you were indeed my son - what I did, it is something that not even I could forgive myself for. That night - the memory you reawakened in me - I should have chosen to die alongside her but - I didn't. I'm sorry, son."
Fahren drew closer to his father, anger etched on his face,"Sorry? Humph. The last surviving Mezorans were living in filth and ruin. Everyday was a struggle as we suffered at the hands of the Elmorites, the race that bought our planet after you killed my people. Just for looking different we were tortured. We had no food and we were subjected to daily whippings but I was the one who defeated them seven years ago. That was when I found out the truth, to know that my own father was responsible for our suffering and to see how he killed my mother, it pissed me off! How could you, you bastard! She loved you but you bowed down to your lord Frieza because power was all that mattered to you, wasn't it?"
"That's a lie," snapped Vegeta viciously, "You don't know what you're saying. I am very sorry for the troubles that the survivors of your race endured but it is because of me that they survived in the first place."
"Because all of a sudden you had a change of heart, please," Fahren said casually as he bridged the gap between them. His aura alone was ripping into Vegeta's body causing painful burns and deep scars, "I saw for myself through the eyes of the Great Ruler before he passed."
Vegeta growled at the mere mention of the name, "The Great Ruler survived? He was the bastard that tipped Frieza off in the first place. He might have shown you what he wanted you to see."
"Do not speak ill of the Great Ruler! He was more of a father than you ever will be!" yelled Fahren viciously causing an increase in his energy that edged even deeper into Vegeta's skin.
Wincing in pain, Vegeta yelled, "I had no idea you were even alive!"
"I wonder why. You made damn sure of that, didn't you," Fahren narrowed his eyes, "My mother was from a kind, gentle race unlike yours, father. Oh yes, I discovered my ancestry. Your father made the deal with the devil with every intent to overtake him and I want nothing to do with you saiyans. Her mystical genes spur on my saiyan abilities and after pushing my body and my mind, my power is unstoppable. All of you must die just like I killed your brother. I will wipe you all out and conveniently all of you are on the same planet in the same place. And when I'm through with you, I see no reason to exist, as I too, most unfortunately am a saiyan as well."
Vegeta was visibly moved, 'I've never once had the chance to even know my own brother as he was sent away as a babe and now he's telling me that he's gone.'
Gohan appeared by his side, "This is absurd! Is he - is he a saiyan god?"
"I'm afraid so."
Fahren launched forward at Gohan and despite his best efforts to dodge, he was caught by a powerful fist and Fahren proceeded to pound him mercilessly. In finale, he was sent sailing deep into the island once again.
"3 down," he smirked and laughed at the terror in his father's eyes. He dashed forward with such speed it seemed as though he disappeared. Vegeta fearfully looked about him, growling in frustration that he was being toyed with but he only saw him at the last possible moment. He suffered the same fate as Gohan but the onslaught was prolonged, "I especially want you to suffer!"
Fresh blood sprung from beneath his bandages as he yelled out in pain. Fahren grabbed hold of the injured leg and tightened his grip and a blood-curdling scream drowned the atmosphere. The stitches tore out and the leg started to rip away by the immense pressure.
He fired a beam that sent his father reeling into the house and with a gleeful grin, he dashed after his victim. He continued his torment and seemed to be having the time of his life with each passing minute.
"He's toying with him," Master Roshi noticed as he hid behind the ruins, holding on for dear life as the earth shook violently, "And I don't think insurance is going to cover this!"
"Good news," Goku called over to the two women as they shuddered from under their makeshift fort. They had ripped off the backing of the couch which allowed for extra head space as they perched it over them. It was tattered and dirtied from the falling debris and wood.
"Good news?" yelled Chi-Chi, "Does any of this look like good news to you!"
"Krillin's on his way. He probably sensed the huge power levels from before. Especially Vegeta's son, his is so huge I'm sure I would have definitely sensed it even all the way out at home."
"But what about our sons? I don't see them anywhere. I won't leave without Trunks," demanded Bulma.
"And I'm not leaving without Goten and Gohan," agreed Chi-Chi grabbing hold of the little girl with her free arm and drawing her closer.
A sorrowful expression crept over Goku, "I'm afraid to break it to you ladies but their energies' dropping fast. They may not make it."
The women were overcome with grief and wept bitterly for their children. Pan who could not maintain her bravery any longer started bawling.
"Oh, wow-wee!"
They all looked up to see Master Roshi running in as he jumped out of the way of the missile in the nick of time. A terrible crash imploded the walls behind them and they quickly realised that it was no missile; it was a badly hurt Vegeta.
"Oh, no!" cried Bulma, dashing from under the makeshift fort. Upon seeing the ripped away stitches on his now gaping leg, she fainted. However, she had a soft landing in the hands of Krillin.
"Thanks, Krillin," Goku said.
"What the hell is going on?" Krillin said looking about the chaos, "Are you and Vegeta at it again? Man this is ridiculous. Do you guys know you destroyed most of West City. It's all on the news."
"No time to explain, just get the women and Pan out of here," directed Goku as much as he could because the gravity pull on his body was too much to bear and seemed to be increasing the more he fought to speak.
"But, what about you?"
"I can't seem to move."
Fahren floated slowly into the room much to Krillin's horror, "Oh, wow! How did I not sense that a second ago. His power level's skyrocketing. Who the hell is this!"
"Fahren. Nice to meet you, Krillin," smirked Fahren and he landed before the bald midget, "Leave now with the women but the little girl stays."
"But," whimpered Krillin, "Why?"
"She's as much of a saiyan like the rest of these pests. The saiyans have always been a resilient race and their trait is most dominant, even mating with such weakling humans has no deterrent whatsoever. I cannot allow another generation of these monkeys to thrive - it all ends here," Fahren said dryly, firing off a blast, "I would let go if I were you." He laughed as Chi-Chi looked on too stunned to move; the blast was clearly meant for the little girl but as she held on so tightly, she was also in danger.
Goku watched with fury as the blast neared; he hated that he could do nothing to save them.
Vegeta appeared before the blast could hit them and took on its full effect. However, a strong gush of wind emanated from the collision which sent the pair tumbling over.
"Oh no, Vegeta!" cried Krillin upon seeing Vegeta's ragged body drenched in blood. He dashed over to Chi-Chi, "Hey, hop on, quick."
She wasted no time and pushed Pan up onto his back and she hung her arms tightly about his neck, hunching forward to accommodate for his lack of height. Krillin shot off towards the hole in the roof but suddenly Pan was falling behind.
"No, my grandbaby!" Chi-Chi called after the crying child.
Krillin paused when he realised what had just happened. Fahren was holding the crying child by the hair.
"Don't worry," he smiled coyly, "I'll shut her up for you."
"Not on my watch," Vegeta growled as he released a powerful blast, standing firmly on his good leg. He seemed unfazed by the torment of his wounds as he guided the blast, maximising its momentum.
"Are you serious?" asked Fahren as he landed a powerful punch to his father's stomach which knocked all the wind out of him and thus the blast was reduced to nothing, "I must say I admire you, father. Your relentless spirit makes torturing you so much more fun."
Krillin was about to fly after Fahren but he was stopped by Goku.
"No Krillin, leave now. Please," he begged.
Krillin nodded his head and obeyed reluctantly and made his way out.
"Now for a little fun before I finish off my father," Fahren turned to face Goku and he tossed the child at him, "Catch."
Goku grimaced for he knew that there was no way he could move to catch her.

PREVIEW OF NEXT EPISODE
A mirage of a dragon erupts from thin air and wraps around Fahren who is gawking at the size and the might of the creature. With each cry of agony, the beast tightens its grip.
"Son Goku here! Finally, I'm getting to test my strength on Fahren and so far, so good. And even if things don't work out quite like they should, Vegeta's got an idea that could save us all or at least I hope so. See you NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL SUPER: THE PLAN: A WAY OUT?"
