parts have to be bought completely new after an alarm because the alarm sensors burn out. We can work completely undisturbed."


The three searched everything. Every showcase was looked through, but it was only when one, the last, showed, that the holy stone was revealed to them.

"It has to be there. It says" Aquana "here. This is the water goddess. We found him"


With a courageous swipe of his finger, Goku smashed the glass and took the triangular stone with the wave pattern in his hand.


As soon as it was stowed in Videl's rucksack, she dug out the slip of paper and read the second riddle out loud:






Vulcanos is the god of fire


The flames were always with him.


He dwells in the throat of an extinct monster.


His mark has lingered there for centuries.








The scream echoed loudly in her ears. Vegeta winced and turned his head in the direction from which the bloodcurdling scream had come.


It was Dabra who had screamed.


"Well, come on, come on, I think you are the Lord of Darkness." Silence sneered when there was a huge bang and Dabra choked loudly.


As soon as it faded away, there was a muddy noise, as if someone had poked a bowl of jello with full force.Again there was a scream, but this time it was a lot higher and shrillier.


"You don't need it anyway, you are here in absolute darkness.", Laughed the ice-cold voice and it cracked again. A loud crack followed. Dabra screamed again.


Vegeta covered his ears, even if he had brought so much suffering to people himself, that was too much for him. He knew something terrible, sadistic was going on, but he couldn't see it. He could only feel how Dabra's strength decreased faster and faster and that of Silence shot again and again briefly to an unknown height.


It banged a few more times, it cracked and popped, and the screams turned into a steady gurgle and finally a fading moan. Then it was quiet. Dead silence.


"So, that's it. One to zero for me. But it was boring, I hope the rest of you could do a little more than this bottle."


As soon as he finished his sentence, it was light again.

Vegeta blinked and rubbed his eyes. But after he got used to the light again, he looked around.


Freezer and Boo stood close together, Raditz and Nappa had simply stopped.


Gohan came running back to him and Silence was standing in the middle of the platform and something was lying on the ground in front of him.


Vegeta knew it was Dabra, but it didn't look like him at all.


He was lying on his back and that he was dead was obvious.


One arm had been brutally torn out at the shoulder joint and was twisted next to him. Both legs had broken through completely and one was completely gone from the knee. There was a big hole in his stomach and, what was probably the worst, his eyes were missing. One rolled around next to his head, the other hung on Silence Finger.


Vegeta put his hand over his mouth, feeling his stomach cramp and feel nauseous.


"So, dear ones, who wants to be next?"
