Part II. Goku

"Then he snuffed you out, using your own body as his weapon.."

Before I could even answer to Zamasu's taunting words, I felt the heat of Goku Black's ki blade boring a hole through my body and further pinning me to the crumbling old wall where I leaned against as Zamasu cornered me. He had stabbed his ki blade right through Zamasu and since Zamasu is an immortal, he remained unscathed by it.

I was a different story though, as I felt my insides seemingly melting from the heat of his blade. The pain was excruciating, and I couldn't help but let out a pained scream which later became a groan.

"Just like I'm doing right now.." Goku Black said in the same voice as mine, only he said it menacingly.

Struggling from the pain he just inflicted on me, I managed to get hold of his ki blade, the heat almost burning the skin of my hands. However, the pain brought about by his blade is the least of my concerns right now.

For as his counterpart Zamasu pinned me against this old, crumbling wall, he reminded me of something which I would admit hadn't crossed my thoughts the moment he and Black relayed to me about how they stole my body from another timeline.

The fate of my family.

Not that I didn't care or think about them, but I was too engrossed in the fight against this sinister duo who brought forth chaos and destruction into Trunks' world, that I never thought of the possibility of them killing my family in an alternate timeline. Plus, I only got to know about the real story of how Goku Black came to be just now, and all I know is that, he killed me after acquiring my body and the strength and power that came with it. And lastly, I never thought that he would kill me right in front of Chichi and Goten.

I should have known better. Zamasu hated me, and he will do everything he could to inflict pain on me and watch me suffer.

Black continued to narrate his little story with excitement, about how confused my wife and son looked when they saw me turn into a green skinned man and when they saw another version of me dressed in different clothes and bearing a sinister smile before he stabbed me with his ki blade after his counterpart Zamasu said in a taunting manner that Black killed me using my own body.

"Just like I'm doing right now..." Black said in a menacing tone.

The pain brought about by Black's ki blade stabbing through me is impossible to ignore, but at that moment, certain thoughts came to my mind which enabled me to forget the fact that this insane god is actually stabbing me and is causing a near mortal wound to my body.

Thoughts about my family.

Of my wife Chichi, and my son Goten.

Were they spared from him? Or did Black do something to them too?

"Damn you!" I looked at him straight in his eyes as I held on to the blade stabbing me. "And what about Chichi? And Goten?" My voice cracked as I said their names. The feeling of dread and worry for my family's fate did not leave me.

"Oh surely you can guess that much, Goku." Black answered as he stabbed his blade further into me, making me release another agonizing scream. I never realized how this god hated me until now. He seemed so happy seeing me suffering and in pain.

"After I struck you down in front of your wife and child, it was time to finish the cleansing.."

Cleansing?

What did he mean?

He had already killed me right?

Could it be that...

No! Please no! Please let my assumptions be wrong. I couldn't take it if they too perished and were not spared, though it is more likely to happen that they also suffered the same fate as I did under his blade.

Or they could have had it worse, much worse than I had.

God, no.. not Chichi and Goten please.

But my assumptions proved to be painfully right.

It's just as I thought.

They've had it way worse than I did.

Images of their bisected corpses flooded my mind, the halves of their body still twitching from the excruciating pain, their intestines and other vital organs scattered about in the ground, their eyes still wide with shock from what had just transpired.

They were attacked and killed by someone who had my face.

The last thing they saw before they finally died... was my face!

My face... my body... my powers were stolen and... were used to murder my wife and my son.

Zamasu and Black both stared at me with smug looks, seemingly delighted with the reaction that they got from me. With my eyes squeezed shut and my teeth clenched, I couldn't stop the anguished sobs and grunts that came from me as they made me aware of Chichi's and Goten's fates.

He killed them... using my body.

I don't usually cry or sob in front of my enemies, but at that moment... I almost forgot that Zamasu and Black were both looking at me with those evil and menacing stares of theirs, and I couldn't control the sobs of anguish that tore past me.

My beloved family, my wife Chichi and my son Goten, were technically slaughtered by me. It was my face that they saw before their lives left them.

For Chichi, the face of her husband whom she loved and believed would never hurt her ever. For Goten, the face of his father whom he respected and looked up to as a role model.

For both of them, the face of the man who promised to love and protect them at all costs even if his life is at stake.

It's just too much for me, and I'm finding it extremely difficult to take it.

"You monster... Y-You'll pay for that.." I sobbed, my teeth gnashing as I looked at the sinister duo with pure disgust, hatred and fury. I could feel my grief and rage mixing up with each other within me, my power level raising dramatically as Black's ki blade no longer inflicted pain on me. In fact, I totally forgot that he still had me impaled on that blade.

For the emotional pain of losing Chichi and Goten overcame the physical pain brought by Black's ki blade stabbing through me and burning my insides with its heat.

"You'll... pay for thaaaaat!" My voice became louder as my power surged through me, causing me to finally break free and destroy the blade impaling me.

"You took my body... you took my life..." I said in a deep guttural voice as I held on to the site of my body where the ki blade has once been. It still stung, but at that moment I was far from caring about it anymore.

"Then you even killed Chichi and Goten..." I continued, my voice slightly breaking as the anguish once again resurfaced. The images of their horribly mutilated corpses tormented my mind, and I am sure that it will become a nightmare that would forever haunt me.

"You're gonna regret telling me that Zamasu... 'Cause now I'm mad. I'm really, really mad.." The way I spoke was full of venom, if only it was powerful enough to destroy these two.

I looked at them with pure unadulterated fury, taking in the smug expressions they displayed as they eyed me with amusement.

"And now it's time... to paaaaaay!" I screamed as I unleashed my powers, making the walls of the old building behind me crumble further.

I attacked Black first, I was just so angry at him, so much that I want to make him suffer so much. I want to give him that kind of suffering which makes someone wish to have never been born anymore. I want to make him regret for stealing my body and using my powers for murdering my family brutally.

I want to rip him apart and spill his blood in my own hands, like the way he spilled Chichi's and Goten's blood into his, or rather, my hands.

Zamasu launched an attack from behind, taking advantage of the fact that I was so focused on pummeling Black. I teleported behind him before I sent him flying down to the ground by giving him a hard and forceful blow on his head.

"Here's what I think of your immortality!" I screamed as I unleashed several ki blasts towards Zamasu, burying him deeper and deeper into the ground. Yes I know, it wouldn't kill him. It wouldn't even have an effect on his immortal body, but I don't care. As I have said before, I was very, very far from caring or giving a damn about anything that has to do with Black or Zamasu anymore. I don't care if one of them is immortal, I don't care if they possess great power enough to destroy a whole universe... I don't care.

For all I cared about right now is how to make them pay for what they have done, and how to get back at them for killing my wife and youngest son in cold blood just like that. I am not just angry, I am beyond angry, because I don't see why he still had to kill Chichi and Goten after he had already acquired my body and killed me. I do remember fighting Zamasu before, and he must have harbored such feelings of hatred for me after our short encounter, but I think that it should only be between the two of us. He didn't need to involve my wife and son here, for Chichi and Goten knew nothing about him at all.

If I had wronged him, I would be willing to pay the price for doing that, and I think I already did when he killed me in that alternate timeline.

But Chichi and Goten? They didn't do anything wrong to him. They didn't deserve to be dragged into the nightmare he brought.

And they didn't.. deserve.. to die by my own hands.

I knew that there are only two things that could happen to me in this fight. Either I survive after getting beaten and drained of my strength and energy, or get killed and lose my life once more, but I am prepared for whatever the outcome of this nightmarish fiasco will be.

I don't even care whatever happens to me.

As long as I crush Black and Zamasu and make them pay dearly for what they've done to me, and to my family.

To Chichi and Goten..

He dared to involve my family into his scheme. He asked for this, they asked for this, so I'm giving it to them.

And I swear...

I'll destroy them for breaking me.

I'll crush them as they have crushed my heart.
