Chapter 9: The Truth about Kortus Part 2
Ok, this is a really short chapter, but it's really just an interlude between the action, and explains a lot of what happening with Kortus.
"You're such an idiot!" Elder Kai yelled at Shin, who shrunk away. Between them rested the ball which they had been watching the proceedings on earth with.
"What..." Shin half asked, before Elder Kai continued.
"I told you to go to Hell and bring back pure evil!" He yelled.
"But Kortus is evil." Kibito said, remembering their first meeting. Elder Kai turned to him.
"When I said pure evil, I meant it in the same way that Goku is pure good." He said, finally calming down. Shin and Kibito looked at each other.
"But venerable Elder, when we asked King Yemma, he pointed us to Kortus." Elder Kai looked at the younger Kai.
"That may have been true when he died, but." He pointed at the ball where Kortus could be seen.
"That boy is not pure evil!" Shin looked at him in confusion. "I don't know what happened to him while he was in Hell, but it seems to have cleansed his soul a little."
"I don't understand, he seems evil to me." Shin said, looking at the ball. Elder Kai looked at him like he was stupid.
"What crystal ball have you been looking at?" He said. Both Shin and Kibito looked surprised a that.
"Huh?" Shin said, and Elder Kai sighed.
"If someone who's pure evil had been provoked like Kortus just has, they would have killed them all. Kortus did not, he just left." He said. "Not to mention his selfless act of defending that Bra girl." He added.
"Selfless?" Kibito asked. "He knew it wouldn't harm him." Elder Kai shock his head.
"No he did not know that, and yet he still did it." He said. "That is not the act of a pure evil person. He's evil, but not nearly enough to harm Furceil in the way we wanted." Understanding dawned on the other two., and they looked scared.
"Oh, no!" Kibito said.
"So what now? Do we warn them?" Shin asked. Elder Kai shock his head.
"No, that would do more harm than good at this point." He said. Shin looked confused and Elder Kai gave him annoyed look. "How did a hard head, like you became Supreme Kai!?" He asked. "What do you think would happen if we told them that?"
"They wouldn't believe us." Shin said.
"Yes, and Kortus would mostly likely do something stupid, just to prove us wrong, That kid has a chip on his shoulder bigger than the south galaxy." Elder Kai said. They sat in silence for while as they watched the saiyans in the ball. They were in the middle of a heated argument. Elder Kai shock his head at them.
"Will you people shot arguring and get on with fighting Furceil." He yelled at the ball, then nodded. "To bad they can't hear me, that would have done the trick." He said folding his arms.
"Venerable Elder." Shin said and Elder Kai looked up.
"What is it?" He said.
"There has to be something we can do to help."
"I think you've help quite enough." Elder Kai said. Shin looked away. "We just have to hope that they can find a way to beat him."
"And if they can't?" Kibito asked.
"Than it will be the end of everything good." Elder Kai said, "But these saiyans have a knack of finding a way out of any situation. All we can do is watch and wait." They returned to watch the ball. There was an explosion of anger from Kortus then he left, battle in his eyes and the rest of the chased after him.
There you go! Please give your honest opions.
Kortus: I so hate you right now!
SSJG: Ha, your so haven't got an option here. I'm the author, you are what I make you!
