body slide out of the SSJ2 step. He realized that he had lost his guitar during the fight, and he looked around to see if he could find it on the ground.

There it was. Goten pointed to it and let it slip into his hands. He got ready to go.

And Agony, claws of black fire, slammed her hand into his chest. Goten screamed and squeezed his chest as blood began to flow from the wound. His guitar, shattered, fell to the ground, now Goten only held the handle.The blood immediately soaked his shirt and began to soak his pants as he held the wound, moaning in pain as he tried to fly backwards, away from Agony.

* How the hell can she fly if she couldn't fly before ... *

"Your friend tasted great. I suppose you will too." Agony laughed as she raised her black claws to cut Goten into strips.

And then Goten rammed the broken end of his guitar handle right through Agony's neck. For the first time shock appeared on her face as the wood slid through her windpipe, but it was only the beginning when Goten turned the handle and spun Agony to the ground. It hit and exploded as Goten reached out and released a series of ki-blasts where he'd knocked them down. Finally he stopped breathing heavily. He was lucky. If he hadn't taken the guitar, the sting would have killed him for sure.Instead, the guitar had slowed the beat a bit, leaving only four ugly wounds across his chest. They hurt like hell, but his ribs had protected him. If Agony had aimed just a little deeper, Goten would now be holding his innards in his hands.

But he didn't have time to thank his lucky stars. He had to get out of here, flee from a monster that apparently couldn't be killed, he had to get his father and Vegeta ...

Vegeta ... he had just lost his son too. Despite the hatred that was now racing through his heart for her, Goten couldn't help but pity Agony when Vegeta would bring his hands to her, despite her regenerative powers.

"Got to get out of here ... get out of here ..." Goten groaned as he flew towards the horizon, blood dripping from his wounds to the ground in a steady rain.

Agony watched Goten fly away as she pulled herself out of the crater left by his blasts.She smiled.

"Go on and run, boy. You can't escape me. No one in this world can, or will," said Agony. She walked to where Trunks 'head lay and picked it up, gazing at the look of horror that had been saved on Trunks' face in an eternal scream, even as Trunks now kept his sister company in her heart in gruesome torture.

"Pretty boy."



Goku's face was pure white when he looked at his younger son. He had stumbled into the emergency meeting, bleeding to death from his gruesome wounds and screaming that Trunks was dead, and an invincible woman, madman, demon. Chichi had passed out immediately, and even after Kuririn had got hold of a Senzu as quickly as possible and gave it to Goten, he hadn't stopped yelling about Trunks' killer and that this was unstoppable. One sentence in particular gave Goku a shiver.

Even Gotenks couldn't stop them.

Gotenks was one of their strongest fighters.

Even Gotenks couldn't stop them.

Vegeta didn't want Goten to believe that his son was dead, not after what had happened, he said he was Kakarott's son, he was crazy and any other excuse. But Goten had told him where to find Trunks, and Vegeta had flown away as quickly as possible.

Goku would never forget the look on Vegeta's face when he returned with Trunks' wounded, decapitated body. It was a look out of the deepest sadness Goku had ever seen at Vegeta, eyes squeezed together, head bowed.

And he would never forget Vegeta's scream.

Gate Yuno, GATE?

Vegeta had shouted something in the Saiyan language, something he would never have thought he'd heard from Vegeta.

Why God, WHY?

Goten had finally passed out himself, and Goku had put his youngest son in bed with his wife, thanking God that he was still alive.Vegeta had gone, his face ashen, with Trunks' body, gone to perform an ancient royal Saiyan ceremony for fathers who had lost their sons.

To murderers.

"Vegeta ... even after what you did ... you have paid. You don't deserve it. Nobody does," Goku muttered and stroked his son's heated forehead.

"Toussan?"

Goku turned to see his older son standing in the arched doorway.

"You heard Goten. He was crazy, but he didn't lie. Who is this woman, and God, how do we stop her? Even Gotenks couldn't ...", Gohan's sentence ran out.

And then a voice spoke from the shadows.

"It's my fault."

Goku and Gohan jumped into fighting stance thanks to the sudden new voice. The man in black named Vengeance came quietly from the shadow of the corner of the room.

"My name is Erik Damien Ravensky," said Vengeance. "And the reason Agony is here, the reason so many died ... is me."



A / N: Do you hate Agony yet?
