distance, fighting the whole way until the dragging stopped. Vegeta paused and then gritted his teeth as a sharp pain shot up his leg. He couldn’t describe it; it was as if something had pierced through him. Agitated and tired of being a plaything he powered up to see what he was up against. His blue aura surrounded the area but Vegeta saw nothing attacking him or causing him pain; yet the pain was there.
Vegeta was suddenly jerked upward. Feeling himself leave the ground he reached out trying to grab onto anything he could but finding nothing. As Vegeta was pulled up into the air the pain in his right leg was horrific. He could feel himself bleeding as his training suit began to absorb the blood rushing from his wounded area. He grit his teeth, fighting back his pain and tried to pull himself up to relieve the stress from his leg. He reached his hands up trying to grab onto the thing that was holding him up but he was unable to feel anything.
Not able to explain it and in too much pain to fight it, Vegeta tried once more to power up in order to pull himself away but as he did the pain surged through him and he had to stop. Vegeta hung upside down gasping for air. A few moments later his eyes finally began to adjust to the extreme darkness around him. As he began seeing what he was up against a sudden feeling of fear swept over him. Never before had he seen such horrific sites. These were worse than anything he or Frieza had done to ordinary people. The corpses hanging from those hooks were alive. They were in pain and they were screaming, yelling for help. Vegeta didn’t understand why they were suddenly alive when seconds ago they were nothing more than dead corpses. He rubbed his eyes with one of his hands thinking that perhaps he was hallucinating the whole thing, but when he pulled his hand away the imagery became worse. Not only were these people hanging upside down but weird animal type things were attacking them, peeling layers of their skin or setting them on fire. Vegeta couldn’t begin to fathom what was going on. The blood from the bodies dripped downward and Vegeta suddenly realized why the creek was the deep crimson color.
As he watched the sites of the people around him he was suddenly struck with a hard blow to the head. His eyesight blurred as he gripped his head shutting his eyes. When he opened them again he saw a weird demonic creature in his face staring back at him. It had a devious smile running across its face. Vegeta glared angrily at it and went to punch it but it disappeared. The force from Vegeta’s missed punch cause him to swing from where he was hanging, the pressure mounting in his right leg. Although the pain was immense he refused to yell.
The demon appeared above him hanging on the hook from which he was stuck to. It whistled to get Vegeta’s attention. As Vegeta tilted his head to look up the demonic figure revealed a very sharp carving knife. Vegeta glared at it but it only smiled back at him suddenly stabbing the knife into his leg. Vegeta’s eyes widened as the pain ripped through him. He nearly let out a yelled yet held it in refusing to show his pain. The demon only made it worse as he began slowly carving a wider circle around Vegeta’s leg where it was stationed in the hook. Blood began to stream down his body as the demon pulled back his skin and began slicing at his muscle tissue right down to the bone.
Meanwhile as Vegeta was fighting off that, another thing suddenly grabbed his left arm. Vegeta jerked his arm away but was surrounded by the things that held him down. He powered up in attempts to defend himself but it only seemed to cause him more pain and make him weaker. The demons began peeling the flesh away from his left arm. Vegeta looked away as he felt the blood begin to stream down his hand seeping through his fingers and leaving his body. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm and when he looked to see only then did he realize what was going on; they were eating him alive.
The pain was so immense and mind numbing that Vegeta was soon unable to hold it in any longer and his voice of suffering soon joined the others that were suffering as well.

A few hours passed and Lord Enma had continued his job. He hadn’t been paying too much attention to Goku and in fact had nearly forgotten about him until Goku suddenly let out a sound of exclamation. Lord Enma looked down at him as Goku floated up towards him with a smile on his face.
“No Goku. I will not let you go get him,” Lord Enma said slowly as he continued to work.
“Well I have a day pass coming up here in a little while. What if I give Vegeta my day pass and he can take a break. It would just be one break. Wouldn’t that make up for the good he’s done? Then he can go back and spend the rest of his life in hell, huh? What do you think?” Goku said.
