7 BREAKING THE DEAL

A world he is from is very cruel indeed, he had no one alive and he claims that his father, Goku, killed off everyone in existence but, why?

"No one is making any deal today!", she yelled and ran towards them, "How? How are you in? It's not possible!", he yelled too, "Gohan, get up! I know you are stronger than this!", she stopped and looked in the hopeless eyes of Gohan, "No, he won't! Because this is my world, I made it and he is just a pawn for now, but after the deal, he will be one of us", the way of making an irresistible deal was working effectively on Gohan, "As of you, taste my world since you are here, taste it the way she tasted it".

"Who?!".

"My wife, Videl".

She gets dropped in the same dark pitch well this time full of projections of broken timeline, "Its in the flashing news and emergency status that man named Goku has went on appearing to be a nemesis to the mankind, conducting genocide by some unnatural ways of blasts using energy packets off his hands", the news was up and they sat there together, "How do you think you can stop him? Have you tried talking to him?", she, worried can't see her face, can't improvise the scene just there to listen, "I don't know, he is not talking to me, he doesn't recognizes me either and if I stay down at the battlefield for too long, he attacks me too", he, tensed, switches off the television, "Hey, you are taking too much tension on your head, he won't come for us, we are his family, how about you go and ask Dende and the others for help?! Maybe they know a good solution for this, meanwhile I'll live with dad along Pan with me, ok?", seemed like a good plan isn't it? Fair enough the other day he drops his family off and leaves in the sky towards their lookout, something strange is with this Goku, he kills humans so easily, never really states the reason too, so what the exact reason was, still just not confirmed, soon he reaches the lookout and sees a bizarre scenario, one he saw when Majin buu ate everyone like chocolates, one that was never even reminded him in his nightmares, much more tragic than his thoughts, Dende, mister Popo and Piccolo all the on the ground alongside few other Namekians, he rushed towards them, "Dende?! Piccolo?! What happened?!", the slight despairing voice replied, "he was here…..he is not Goku…he didn't recognized us..…", he had to hurry and get them all to safety, so with nothing else on mind he took them one by one to the name house, first Dende then mister Popo at last Piccolo, while he was on his way to the house with Piccolo, they sensed a strange ki, the same kind of ki Goku has, rushing towards the house they saw Goku choking Dende to death, this made Gohan very furious, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!", he left Piccolo midair and dashed towards Goku, the punch was charged, he roared too, became super Saiyan and with might, the punch and the spirit to fight was caught in a glimpse of an eye by Goku, it was really easy for him to just toss around Gohan, so he did. In and above the ocean they go with just loss and anger boiling up in Gohan, a punch there, a punch here, it was humiliating and he just laughed at Gohan, "This? This is what you are capable of…once we are done here I will kill all of your families…you think there is a way around, there isn't!", sure enough after the beatings he was left smashed with ki blasts, floating over the sea like a dead body. He kept the promise, he killed Vegeta, not by a fair fight but by trap, that happened a week from now, captivating weaknesses he had, killing trunks and Bulma, where are the Gods and angels again? He was a free bird on Earth and on the Universe, until another hopeless day arrived, Piccolo died succumbing to the injuries he had. The clouds hovered over his head big time, the only ones out of family alive was his wife, his mother and the kids, Goten and Pan. He was afraid of opening his eyes while on an altitude in the cities, he feared of seeing his families dying, again and again, they made visions ahead his eyes, the world entered a post-apocalyptic era after humanity declared extension, was this just a doing of a single being? They had limited food and shelter, "We can't do this all the time Gohan…..", the warmth of her hands on his cheeks were the only momentary comforts he can have, "….he knows we are alive, I was wrong.. he may come for us too…", that day was near to come.

"We can set up a trap for him!", Videl had an idea in her mind, "Distraction during a fight, of any cause can be a toss of a coin for us. Though finding one is the hardest thing".

"I'll be one", Chichi said with bravery in her eyes. "No, I can't let you do that!", Gohan said panicked. "Its alright Gohan, what kind of a mother I will be if I am not able to protect my kids, besides now that Goten is on deathbed there is not much to contribute from my side, just do the plan". They couldn't deny it, "What do I use against him?!", Gohan said with hands above in hair and eyes wide open, "Got it, it will work, it always has". So the plan was set, Chichi will be the bait, Gohan had came up with a way to defeat him.

The next day, Chichi walked in the market casually mumbling poetry,

"In all its raucous impudence

Life writhes, cavorts in pallid light,

With little cause or consequence;

And when, with darkling skies, the night",

destroyed cars, dead bodies, guns, blood were the only things at sight. He came. "You think this will work on me, I know all of you, I know how you work, I will make him come out quickly", a blink of an eye for which he stood in front of her, grabbed her neck and started choking her lightly,

"Casts over all its sensuous balm,

Quells hunger's pangs and, in like wise,

Quells shame beneath its pall of calm,

"Aha, at last!" the Poet sighs".

For some reason Goku was not able to get a grip of her neck, a series of emotions unwillingly ran in his body, he is not that Goku than why bother? she took her hands on both his cheeks,

"My mind, my bones, yearn, clamoring

For sweet repose unburdening.

Heart full of dire, funeral thought,

I will lie out; your folds will cling

About me: veils of shadow wrought,

O darkness, cool and comforting!".

This was not enough though, soon as the poem ended, the grip tightened, she got helpless now, she looked at a wrecked apartment and looked at Goku, "Darling, wish you all the best", in a blink of an eye a rocket came out, whoosh, the sound of it and wind felt across the city as it traveled with Goku towards the end, the blast was immense, immense enough for Gohan to commute the plan, he came forth, with a big barrel stood in front of Goku and roared, "MAFUBA!!!!!!", the body pressure Goku felt was amazing, he was getting sucked into it and he couldn't resist. As soon as the body was almost sucked in the pot like barrel a ki blast came from the sky, out of nowhere hit the barrel and it was broken, Goku was set free again, "What the fuck? Who did that?!", Gohan got panicked

"I brought some allies with me", Goku gave an unusual smile, he looked at Videl who arrived at the scene, "Do you know the meaning of suffering? I will let you know", he rushed in an instant and punched Videl on her gut, she fell down, pale eyes, it was like she lost her voice too, "NOOOOO!!!", he screamed and rushed towards Goku like a jet, the never-ending fight sparked again, though this time it was different, Goku was quickly able to overpower him, it was like Goku learned how to fight Gohan with efficiency, while Gohan is still panicked and full of anger it was not a suitable moment to brawl for him, the attacks and blasts all calmed down, laying on the ground in front of Videl as Goku walked, "This is suffering my son, this is what it feels like, so helpless, so much frustration and pain, you are doing right, yet you fail", he put his left leg on Videl's back, "Last wishes Videl? Hurry and do it now", he was so helpless he couldn't move, bones were shattered, only one finger which reached out with eyes full of tears, "Please...don't….Not her…", Videl looked at Gohan and in the form of final words, whispered something, "that's enough", slight movement in the leg and the pressure broke the rib cage, instantly killing her. Gohan was in complete despair at the moment, bathing in tears, "you want to meet my allies? Here they come!", he looked up and for some brief moment nothing came down, eyebrows changed he looked at Gohan who was still in despair and looked up again, "What the fuck? Who is that?", something shined above the city, in teary eyes he looked to, someone came down, not one of Goku's allies, he looked and there she stood like a sun, somewhat of the turning point in the battlefield, "the name is Dilla".

Everything faded and Videl couldn't see anything anymore, the blur was maintained while the voices were clearer, "You are my weakness mom, once I am done with you I will be free, free to explore my new life, my future and a different story", it felt like someone was getting choked, "She is right, there is something else waiting out there for me, something I need to look for, don't worry I'll keep the Saiyan race alive, I am not the Gohan you once knew"

She fell right in front of the real Gohan, somethings might repeat as she saw the same place, same weather, instead of Goku it was Gohan who walked towards her, left foot on the back of her chest, Gohan laying down in tears, it was like its all repeating again, "Last wishes Videl? Hurry and do it now", the fake Gohan said looking at the real one, "Please...don't…..not her….", he said and right before the leg twists, she yelled, not mumbled this time, she yelled, "HE IS NOT YOU!!! HE CAN NEVER BE YOU!!!", the twist stopped, "How? How the fuck did this happened?! WHY DIDN'T YOU MUMBLED?!", he was too distracted, "She is not the Videl you know, she is not yours, she is mine and the part of you being me, now I know why you despise it...", the real one got up, its like the hell she saw back then, the real Gohan saw it together with her,"..it isn't because I am weak or coward, it's the reason that it still loves Videl, it still misses her, be it then….", he took his stance and wiped the blood dripping from his nose, "….this part of you, it means I am in there, it means part of this world, is mine too because you were me before whatever the fuck happened to you…. So come on coward, let's do it the manly way", he roared and roared, it was the sky in the world got divided in half dark and bright, for the first time ever the charge up was pressuring the fake Gohan, he felt weak and disgusted by that weakness he took a step back, Videl got up, "Come to this side, Videl", he said powering up his ki, the pressure was incredible, it was like the control over the world is being split between them, the fake Gohan out of disgust yelled, "COME ON!!! LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!!".

They both fired up the world, the fact of it being divided in two didn't made much sense to Videl, with a tensed face she just stood beside her husband and she gazed across the other side, the fight was about to start and the momentum build up, it came again that history repeats itself, the dark versus light, day versus night as the two parts of one world collide.
