Risen
Chapter 3: Recruitment
Kortus (Arms folded): I'm back!
SSJG (Me): Yep, but not so bad.
Kortus (Looking worried): What are you planning, little girl!?
SSJG: You'll see! (Evil smirk)
Kortus was bored. The first few years ruling the saiyans of hell had been fun. But now he was seriously under-challenged. He could start training one of them so he'd have a challenge, but for that they'd have to become a super saiyan, and that would shatter his rule over them. He frowned, and shifted on his chair.
He'd dealt with, all this level of hell had to offer. The Ginyu Force, Frieza, King Cold, Cooler, and Cell had all been dealt with. The satisfaction of being able to beat the enemies he'd been denied a turn at in life had been very great. But the last time he'd been challenged had been when Broly had turned up, that had been fun for a bit, but ultimately unsatisfactory. It was also way too long ago for his liking.
Two people appeared in front of him jerking him out of his thoughts. One was quite tall and heavily set, he had reddish skin, white hair and ears like a Namek. The other was about Kortus's height, but had a build like that of a child. He had light purple skin, and white mohican style hair, as well as the same Namek like ears as the other one. Several saiyans rushed in, to attack the intruders. Kortus raised a hand, and they left again. He stood and smirked at the strangers.
"I don't get many visitors dropping in to see me." He said dryly. The bigger one looked very annoyed.
"You will show more respect!" He said. The smirk on Kortus's face disappeared, he walked right up to tall one, and cocked his head.
"Make me." He said. His opponent looked like he was going to explode, Kortus smirked. That was just what he wanted. He didn't have the power to be much of a challenge, but if Kortus didn't go super saiyan, he could make it fun. But the smaller one raised a hand.
"It's quite alright, Kibito." He said, and when Kibito looked as if he was about to say something, he continued. "We're in hell, things like this are to be expected." Kortus folded his arms.
"I take it, you're not meant to be here." He said. The smaller one, bobbed his head in a small bow. Kortus raised an eyebrow at the gesture.
"No, we are not." He said. "I am Shin, and we are here to ask for your help." Kortus laughed he couldn't help it, but he sobered quickly and smirked.
"And why would I help you?" He asked. Shin smiled.
"Because it involves a trip to the living world." He said. Kortus blinked, that was the last thing he expected to hear. Then a grin spread over his face. It might be just the thing he needed to relieve his boredom. Then his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Why me?" He asked.
"We need someone evil and powerful, and you fit nicely." Shin replied. So, Kortus thought, they don't know who I am, perfect. He folded his arms.
"What do you need my help for?"He asked.
"There is a great evil on earth, that only evil can fight." Shin said. Kortus smirked, that sounded interesting. It would be nice to see everyone again, and their reactions to seeing him.
"Fine." He said. Shin smiled. Kibito shook his head, this was to easy.
"I'm not sure we should do this." He said to Shin. Shin turned to him.
"You heard what Elder Kai said." He said, Kortus frowned at the mention of Kai. "Only evil stands a chance at combating Furceil."
"Kai." Kortus said, Shin looked at him. "Do you mean like King Kai?"
"How do you know about Kai's?" Kibito asked.
"Reputation." Kortus said with a small shrug. "Are you a Kai?" He asked Shin.
"Yes, I'm Supreme Kai." He said.
"Good." Kortus said and smirked. He blurred in front of Shin, grabbed him by the neck and shoved him back against the wall. He felt Kibito coming up behind him and turned, still holding the Supreme Kai, and buried his free fist into Kibitos stomach. Sending him flying into the opposite wall. Kortus returned Shin to the wall, his head cracked nastily against it, but Shin didn't lose consciousness.
"I will help you against this new evil." He hissed. "But you have to do something for me."
"I can't bring you to life!" Shin gasped. Kortus snorted at the idea.
"Why would I want that!" He said. "They'd just kill me again!" Kortus paused, had he really just said that? "Eventually, but I'd kill a lot of them first!" He said quickly to cover that lapse in confidence.
"Then what do you want?" Shin asked, Kortus smirked.
"I want access to lower hell." He said and was pleased to see the shock on the Kai's face.
"Why?" He croaked out.
"I'm bored I want the challenge." Kortus said. "Deal?"
"Deal, after you fight Furceil, I'll talk to King Yemma." Kortus smiled and let Shin go. Kibito returned from the other side of the room.
"Supreme Kai!" He said. "Are you alright?" Shin nodded.
"Yes, Kibito, I'm fine." Kibito glared at Kortus, who smirked in amusement.
"We've been negotiating my contract." Kortus said and crossed his arms. "Are we going or what?" Still glaring at Kortus, Kibito reached out, grabbed his arm and teleported them away from hell.
That was a short chapter!
