Chapter 15
Monica lifted herself from the strange bed. When she walked outside, the strange ghost knight was still there. Ignoring him, she tried to sense the Dragon Balls. If they did emit energies like the man said she should be able to detect them with some practice. For some reason she had the urge to go back in the cabin. She walked into the cabin, and then it hit her. She ran to the bed, and looked underneath. Glistening in the still and quiet darkness was the four star Dragon Ball. She looked at it. The thing was only about six inches in diameter. Four red stars seemed to float around inside the glassy orange orb. She grabbed it and brought it up to her face. It looked breakable yet seemed nearly indestructible. She decided to use it to try and figure out how to sense its energies. She walked outside of the cabin and sat down in the translucent grass. The knight watched her feel and hold the ball. "You are trying to feel it like a psychic or a witch. This is nothing mystical. You must try to feel it as you would see it and hear it. The sixth sense is merely another way of detecting your surroundings." bellowed the knight. Monica looked at the ball. She could hear nothing from it. Then in a split second it hit her. She could sort of tell where the ball was without even looking. She threw it into the cabin, and tried to guess where it was. "Next to the bed and the front wall." She walked inside and there it was. She jumped up and down with joy! She was well on her way to becoming a living breathing person again. She realized something as she walked into the cabin. She could also feel the knight. She could even feel his power. He was no Hanka, certainly not, but Monica needed to train some more before she could defeat him. She placed the four star ball on the bed, and flew out of the cabin and into the ghostly woods. The woods seemed to never end, and the surroundings looked the same no matter where you went. "It's a good thing I can sense that knight. Otherwise I'd be completely lost!" She giggled at the thought. Suddenly she started to feel another Dragon Ball. She landed and looked around. There was a tree stump. It was the only thing different she could see in miles of forest. She walked over to it and peered inside. The dark brown trunk's rings seemed to twist in patterns that created what looked like distorted faces. Monica shuddered. She stuck her hand inside the trunk, and felt a familiar warm glassy surface. Grabbing it, she pulled out with a dirty six star Dragon Ball. She dusted it off. The dirt simply fell off the ball. She flew up in the air and took off for the cabin. After a good ten minutes, she was back. She ran into the cabin and dropped the ball on the bed and took off back into the woods to find the next ball.

It was lunch time at the Eternal Order. Cryan and Gershim sat where they usually sat with an empty seat in front of them. Suddenly the roof exploded. Bits and pieces of it fell, but most of it was disintegrated. Hanka floated down into the building, but remained hovering about five feet from the ground. "You are all free. I have destroyed your master. You are now free to live as you please and for your own happiness." One of the guards yelled, and every guard in the cafetetia began to fire machine guns at Hanka. Hanka laughed. The bullets disappeared before they even reached him. Hanka flew down to one of the guards and quickly broke his neck. "I suggest the rest of you run. Otherwise you will die as well." The guards were loyal to Malditus and refused to stop attacking. Hanka flung a yellow beam at them. The explosion was small but concentrated. After the smoke cleared nothing remained but charred cadavers. Gershim stared in amazement. Hanka looked older than when he ran away no less than a month ago. He also looked a lot more built. "Now, nobody in this facility can possibly destroy me. You are free." Hanka opened the door, and held it open. Nobody moved. "What are you waiting for? You're free. Go." They stared at him. Gershim stood up. "They are brainwashed. They don't know what freedom is. They think they were free. Now they don't know what to think." Hanka grinned. He floated over to where Gershim was standing. "And how do you suggest we debrainwash them then?" "We don't. They'll revert back to normal on their own now that nobody is forcing them to comply." Hanka landed on the floor. "Can you fly?" "Fly?! I didn't even know people could fly until I saw you do it just now!" Hanka grabbed Gershim by his shirt and flew off through the ceiling. A few of the students left the building after Hanka left. Gershim was freaking out. "Gah! What are you doing?! Let go of me!" Hanka flew all the way to Kami's Lookout, and let go of Gershim once he landed. "What am I doing here?" "Put on those robes." Gershim did as Hanka ordered. He knew already what happened to people who went against Hanka. After putting on the white robes, Gershim began to glow a white color. He glew for about ten minutes, not moving an inch. Then it stopped. Gershim looked up at Hanka. "I understand. I am a deity now." Hanka grinned. Benditus really did prepare for his own demise. "What is this key for?" Hanka immediately snatched the key from Gershim. "It opens a door of which nobody knows what is behind. It's only supposed to be opened in case of a serious emergency. I consider the current state of the Earth an emergency." Hanka walked towards a small metal room with a lock. Earlier he had tried to break the room open with energy. But the room was apparently unbreakable. When Hanka placed the key in the lock, the door glowed before opening. Hanka stepped into the room. Looking around, he saw many paintings. One was of a man who had long golden hair and electricity surrounding his body. The man lacked eyebrows and looked similar to how Hanka looked as a Super Saiyan. There was another of a man that looked similar to Malditus. He wasn't as bulky though. And he wore purple clothing and a turban. Next to him was a young man, no older than sixteen. He was wearing a green costume and holding a white helmet in his hands. But in the middle of the room was the most amazing thing. It looked like a giant metal ball. The metal felt incredibly smooth. There was an almost ovular crack in the front. Hanka tried to push it, but nothing happened. Kami Gershim stood behind him and looked as well. Gershim noticed a button on the right side. "Hanka, what if you push that?" Hanka walked to it and pressed the button. The door opened and inside was a control room. Gershim and Hanka walked inside. The floor was a tiled orange. In the middle was a machine of sorts. It's meter read "1G". When Hanka walked past this machine, a hologram appeared in front of him. It was a small child. He looked like Malditus if he was a child. He was wearing a white robe. "You have opened the secret. I certainly hope you have good reason to have done this. You are inside a space ship." "In times that Earth is in dire emergency, you may use this space ship. It will fly until it finds a planet inhabited by intelligent beings who may be able to help. Only one person can fly this ship." "It is fated that this man alone will fly this ship. I cannot say why without changing the past and future. This man must only place his hand on the control panel and the ship will operate." "Kami, if you are inside, leave now." Gershim nodded and left the ship. "Gershim. I hope you can take care of the Earth while I am away." "I'll try my best." Hanka grinned. Gershim left the ship. As if knowing he left, the ship's door closed. "Now that we are alone, Hanka, I can stop feigning ignorance. Yes, this is still a hologram and I am not actually here. However, after being Kami for a long time, one learns to predict the future with extreme accuracy." "However, I do not know where this ship goes. I only know that it must go. The machine over there controls the gravity. It can go up to 500x Earth's gravity. You should train while you travel." "Good bye Hanka." The hologram disappeared. Hanka pressed his hand on the control panel. The top of the room opened up and the ship took off. Hanka pressed his face on the window, amazed that he was now in space. "Wow. I wonder where I'll end up?" Hanka walked over to the gravity machine. "I guess I enter the amount of gravity and hit the red button. A Super Saiyan like me should be able to handle 500x!" He pressed 500 on the machine and hit the red button. Quickly he fell to the floor. "Whoah! I need to figure out how to transform on my own." Hanka concentrated. His hair glowed yellow briefly. "Urrg! This is too much!" Veins bulged in Hanka's forehead. He yelled, and his hair once again turned gold. He was able to stand up easily after he transformed. "Well a lot of good the gravity does. It's still no challenge when I'm transformed." "Oh well. Might as well leave it at 500x. It's better than 1x." Hanka began to practice his kicks. "I need to learn better form anyways. I rely too much on raw power."
