Chapter: B / V - Moonstruck # 2

A / N: Yeah, a sequel. Great thing, right? Still, you shouldn't be too much <br />
expect. Sumimasen! <br />

Hello darkness, my old friend <br />
I've come to talk with you again <br />
Because a vision softly creeping <br />
Left its seeds while I was sleeping <br />
And the vision that was planted in my brain <br />
Still remains <br />
Within the sound of silence <br />
<br />
In restless dreams I walked alone <br />
Narrow streets of cobblestone <br />
`Neath the halo of a street lamp <br />
I turned my collar to the cold and damp <br />
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light <br />
That split the night <br />
And touched the sound of silence <br />
<br />
And in the naked light I saw <br />
Ten thousand people, maybe more <br />
People talking without speaking <br />
People hearing without listening <br />
People writing songs that voices never share <br />
And no one dared <br />
Disturb the sound of silence <br />
<br />
"Fools," I said, "You do not know <br />Silence like a cancer grows <br />
Hear my words that I might teach you <br />
Take my arms that I might reach you "<br />
But my words, like silent raindrops fell <br />
And echoed <br />
In the wells of silence <br />
<br />
And the people bowed and prayed <br />
To the neon god they made <br />
And the sign flashed out of its warning <br />
In the words that it was forming <br />
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls <br />
And tenement halls "<br />
And whispered in the sounds of silence- <br />
<br />
The Sounds of Silence <br />

He had kept his word. <br />
Complete silence lulled Vegeta, the deepest blackness was infinitely far ahead <br />
him. No arguments, no voice in the back of his mind to tell his <br />
remembered upcoming fights that he couldn't win. And neither <br />
the voice outside of his head. Her voice. Bulma's voice telling him things <br />brought back to mind that he no longer wanted to think about. His <br />
Slip up. But that was all over now. At last. <br />
Vegeta lowered his eyelids briefly and when he opened them again his <br /> had gone
Environment transformed into a gloomy river system. The <br /> was up to his knees
Saiyan in the cold water that rushed its way around his legs <br />
sought to disappear around a bend in seconds. Slowly <br />
Vegeta waded downstream. <br />
"What did you do?" Whispered a low voice and the bare stone walls <br />
threw back the echo several times. Nobody was in sight when Vegeta looked around, <br />
so he went on. <br />
"Why?" <br />
"How could you leave me alone now?" <br />
"Come back!" <br />
The Saiyan quickened his pace, he couldn't complain anymore <br />
Listen. After a few meters he came to a fork where an old <br />
hooded boatswain seemed to be waiting for him with his ferry.<br />
"You're Vegeta, aren't you? I'm Charon. Get in," he pointed to <br />
his little boat, "I'll take you there." <br />
The Saiyan obeyed without any objection and soon afterwards settled on a bench <br />
sink from hard wood. Charon turned out to be a true tourist guide. "We <br />
drive now on the Acheron - the river of suffering - it is actually already a <br />
Electricity ... "<br />
The flow of suffering was a fitting name. Vegeta shot a pain through the <br />
Limbs, his heart contracted and breathing became a pain. * Why <br />
are you doing this to me Vegeta? * he heard Bulma's voice. But he couldn't <br />
remember ever hearing her say that. * I hurt you? And what about <br />
me? * <br />
Charon continued undeterred: "That's why you have to take the ferry to <br /> here
to reach other banks ... "<br />
Suddenly Vegeta knew what it was. It was the suffering he'd done her. <br />
Had he hurt her that much?Was he that blind? So fixated on yourself <br />
even that he had completely missed how he was destroying Bulma with it? <br />
"The river you came from was the Cocytus - the plaintiff. He tells you, <br />
whether someone mourns you. "Charon dipped the oar to the other side and <br />
continued: "You have to go on alone. Just follow the course of the Acheron, he <br />
brings you to Lethe - the oblivion. You have to drink from him to get your <br />
to leave earthly life behind you so that you can continue your journey. You <br />
will meet Styx, the hated one, but be careful not to lie, because he is <br />
swear the Olympiads. At the end you have to cross the Pyriphlepeton, <br />
then you have reached your goal. "<br />
When Charon had finished they moored and Vegeta left the boat. <br />
"Goodbye ... Just kidding, haha." The ferryman waved and was taken by the <br />
Swallowed up darkness. <br />
Vegeta turned and followed Charon's instructions.<br />
A handful of fresh river water from the Lethe washed away any memory of his <br />
Life away. Now the emptiness had reached his memory and it was greedy <br />
devoured. There was nothing left that he knew, except that he was dead and <br />
had to go on. <br />
The Styx was the main stream and accordingly carried water. Vegeta ran on <br />
Down the river bank. In the distance it shone in the midst of the eternal <br />
Blackness. The closer the Saiyajin got to the source, the clearer it was <br />
everything off: It was the Pyriphlepeton. The fire-burning river. * That's why <br />
Charon doesn't translate the river name, Vegeta thought. * Didn't want me <br />
put off ... * <br />
The Pyriphlepeton encircled the triple wall of Tartaros. There to <br />
It would take a long time and be painful because Vegeta should never <br />
arrive. How Sisyphus never bring the rock up the mountain, Tantalos forever <br />
stay hungry and thirsty and the 49 daughters of Danaos never the barrel <br />should fill, so Vegeta had to do his impossible task in it <br />
see reaching the Tartaros.[JM: What kind of shitty ending? Huh? Are <br />
foolish? ]-[MS: Would you please not my end through your - like you do it <br />
express - destroy shit comment? ]<br />

A / N: Ah! Kanashii desu yo! Incidentally, I have my first reader (it was JM!) For <br />
Brought crying! I would like to know which of you still have the emotions <br />
went through ... <br />
JM: I'm sorry ??!? !!? !!!!!!!!!!!! ????????? !!!!!!! What does I'm sorry mean, <br />
damn it all?!?!?!?!?!?! You are heartless It was your decision, Vegeta <br />
to let die and not to let him come back. Then you can <br />
don't be sorry You are angry. You are Cruela Devil. I'm mad at you, <br />
although I don't like Vegeta as much as Spike, I am very disappointed and <br />
very sad about the fact that Vegeta will never come back.I <br />
I don't like you anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! <br />
This comment was, is and will always be from me, namely from <br />
JamesMarsters15 (the 2nd biggest Vegeta fan in the world). I will now <br />
go to the bathroom and let my feelings run free, in plain English, I'll <br />
start crying uncontrollably. <br />
