Fanfic: Consuming Madness #4
a monster like you! She killed my friends and Kami help me, she won't get away with it!"
Erik sat and studied Gohan's plan he had made of Agony's path. He tried to find a pattern, but there wasn't one. He sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Erik?"
"Yes, Gohan," replied Erik when the hybrid suddenly stood next to him.
"In the hurry ... to discuss ... the situation, you didn't tell us how you sent Agony here. What happened?"
Erik sighed. He had been distracted by his feelings and neglected the information.
"Agony had attacked this scientific establishment. She had no reason, she just wanted to kill people and eat their hearts. Did I mention she's a cannibal too?"
He didn't, and the news shook Gohan.
“She eats hearts?”
"She doesn't have to. Her power gives her all the energy that she would get from food. But she loves to consume people, especially hearts."
"You say she took the hearts of Bra, and Trunks and all the others, so that they ..." Gohan couldn't finish talking.
"Can eat."
Gohan was wrapped in shocked silence and Erik continued.
"She had slaughtered half of the people before I came. Oh god, she laughed, such a horrific sound ... I've heard it so many times and it still hits me to the bone. Anyway, we fought, I hurt her, she healed, I hurt her more, she healed again. In the process we damaged the machine that was the main point of the demonstration in the lab, it overloaded. I'm not sure what the machine is for thought it was, I think it was some kind of experimental transportation system that can get goods instantly to certain places, well, the machine was kind of on and activated due to the damage we had done and it tore a strange hole in the air. I saw the hole, knew something was wrong, and then I had the idea that this thing could transport things, that overloading it would destroy the transport ... "
"So you threw Agony in the hole because you thought it would shred her into molecules or something like that."
"Yes," said Erik, breaking his voice. "I realized I had made a terrible mistake when I could see her through the crack. I saw Agony lying on the grass in a forest, but before I could follow her the crack disappeared. I had to shut the machine down like that that it didn't blow me up, and then with some help I fixed the machine and re-enacted the situation, it opened another hole and I found myself here ... and Agony immediately let loose on your world and does I'm so, so sorry ... "
When Erik leaned forward and buried his face in his hands, Gohan put his hand on his back in a friendly gesture.
"Don't blame yourself Erik. If I were you, I probably would have done the same."
"But all this death ... is my fault!I've played thinking that the unknown could do the seemingly impossible and lost, oh god, all those deaths she caused, I've lost ... "
"Erik, you can't change the past, but you can try to change the future. Let's stop guessing whether you should have tossed Agony through the crack, or in the machine, or in the wall, or whatever. You have. You have. You have." done it and that's it. "
Gohan looked at him. He could feel the agony of this man of another existence, the way he felt himself responsible for not being able to stop Agony, stopping her from taking so many lives, the way he was trying to take all the weight of the world on his own Load shoulders. He found it honorable.
"I wanted to ask you, Erik, is there any LIMIT in Agony's power?"
"Limit?"
"Yes. I suppose this ... Zazergas or whatever his name was, put some limit on if he was stronger than her ... so what is it?"
Erik sat up and thought about it.
"There's only one thing I can think of. She can't hurt herself."
“You can't hurt yourself?”
"No, she can feed on the pain that others cause her, and she can feed on the pain of others, but she cannot feed on the pain she inflicts on herself. If she could do that, she would be unstoppable, because she would just keep getting hurt ... "
"... until it was that strong ... I really don't want to think about it. I don't see how this could help us ... but it's worth us to know. Did you find anything on the cards?"
"No. There's no pattern at all. She just walks in a crazy zigzag pattern and kills everything she comes across. I have no idea where she comes up next, and I know her better than anyone others. "
"Well, I'm sure something will happen.Now excuse me, I still have to put my little girl in bed. Are you coping "
"Yeah, okay."
Gohan left the room and Erik studied until late at night.
"Are you sure you can stand, Goten?" Goku asked his younger son. It was morning and his son had finally woken up.
"Yes, Toussan. I'm fine. I want to talk to this Erik guy. I want to know everything. Trunks must be avenged, will be avenged," growled Goten, his hair flashing in SSJ. He might have slept since that fateful night a day and a half ago, but he had only dreamed of Trunks' brave sacrifice and agony ripping his head off, over and over again.
"OK. He's in the Capsule Corp. Be careful, Goten."
"I will, Toussan," said Goten. But Goku noticed how he reached into a drawer and took out a bag of senzu beans, which he tied around his waist before leaving.
Marron had been happy. Goku had called her father and told him that Goten had woken up and was fine. But their joy was quickly replaced by worry and sadness. Instead of flying right back into her arms, he went to meet this strange man who claimed to know the woman who had committed these mass murders. She was called to Agony. The name suited her well.
Marron understood the situation. Agony had to be stopped. Goten was the only one who had survived a meeting with her so far, and his knowledge was needed.
But still ...
Agony was perhaps the greatest adversary they had ever faced, and without a doubt she was the most evil creature Marron had ever seen or heard of.
But still ...
More people would die if they weren't stopped.
But still ...
Marron didn't understand her feelings. She understood Goten's actions, but at the same time wanted an answer to the question of commitment.She loved Goths. She had given him her virginity. She had been watching over him when he groaned because of whatever terrible nightmare he might have had when fear ran through her veins because of his condition. And yet he hadn't come back to her right away. He would come back to her, she knew that, but she felt that it should have been her turn first.
Was she selfish? She didn't know. She was uncomfortable talking to her parents about her conflicting feelings, even if they understood.
So she decided to talk to her uncle, C17. As a young girl she had been very close to him and had received a lot of advice as she grew up facing feelings she did not understand and questions she could not answer. They had grown apart a little, but she still talked to him regularly and visited him in the cabin where he lived in the forest.
She was walking down the path, clutching the cell phone her mother had given her. If there were any murders that were reported, C18 wanted Marron to get home as soon as possible, no matter where she was. At every step Marron expected the bell to ring.
"I hope it works," she muttered to herself, referring to the plan she heard her father mention of waiting in a town that might fit into Agony's path. "We may not know how to stop them ... but at least we can stop them."[MS: @. @? ]
The leaves rustled beneath their feet as Marron moved on.
Erik sat and listened as Goten told his entire story about his and ultimately best friend's fight with Agony. When Goten got to the part where Trunks had sacrificed himself for him, he burst into sobs. Erik comforted him as best he could, and finally Goten was able to go on, all the while clutching a small bag in his hands.
"I thought I had her with the Kamehameha. I couldn't see her anywhere. But she tricked me, she flew behind me and ..."
"Sorry, did you say she flew?"
Goten looked confused.
"Yeah, flown. It came up behind me. It almost cost me my life if I hadn't held the guitar because it had never done it before. It happened out of the blue."
“That's because she can't fly.”
Goten stared at Erik.
"Oh yeah. Well, I think your info is wrong, buddy, because it flew and that almost killed me."
"That's impossible. I've fought her a dozen times. If she could fly, she would have! I threw her into a volcano, she didn't fly out, she fell into the lava!"
"Well, she flew ..."
"But how could she fly ..."
Erik got up from his chair and looked at the young hybrid as he continued to sit and squeeze the pouch as he tried to unravel the mystery.
"Where's your father? I have to talk to him," asked Erik.
"He said he was going to Syu City. The only obvious path that Agony is following is a zigzag across the map. We hope that maybe she shows up near the city ... that we keep her from killing can ... maybe understand their measure ... "
"Shit," said Erik. "Are you strong enough to lift me?"
"Uncle!" Shouted Marron. "It's your favorite niece!" She called again as she walked towards the clearing of the forest. She waited for his answer, which was always "You are my only niece!" was.
But she didn't come.
"Uncle? Uncle 17?" Marron called. She came to his fence, but he wasn't there.
"Uncle?"
When she got to his hut, Marron circled her, but he was nowhere to be found. She came around to the front door.
She was twisted.
Erik sat and studied Gohan's plan he had made of Agony's path. He tried to find a pattern, but there wasn't one. He sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Erik?"

"You say she took the hearts of Bra, and Trunks and all the others, so that they ..." Gohan couldn't finish talking.
"Can eat."
Gohan was wrapped in shocked silence and Erik continued.
"She had slaughtered half of the people before I came. Oh god, she laughed, such a horrific sound ... I've heard it so many times and it still hits me to the bone.
