The Shadow Lands
Upon entering the time stream Akina and Trunks saw black shadow grabbed the ship as it threw them into one direction as their ship crashed into a new universe as it landed on it side and skid across some grass.
"Ow! What the hell was that" Akina asked as she got off Trunks.
"Something interfered with our travel and threw us into a new world" Trunks said opening the lid as he got out to inspecting the damage.
"Uh Trunks look over there" Akina said as Trunks turned and they both saw a kind of dark gloomy castle ahead.
IIIII
"My lady it seems we have some unwanted guest" a hooded man said as the cloaked woman looked to her crystal ball to see Trunks and Akina.
"I know, I brought them here" the woman said.
"What do you wish to do my lady?" the man asked.
"Test them to see if they're any of the seven if not we'll kill them" the woman said.
"How is the Master progress?" the man asked as the woman walked over to a large black crystal with a glowing red center that pulsed.
"He's almost complete all he needs now is a suitable host and then the Master shall rise again" the woman said touching the crystal.
IIIII
"This place got an unnatural presences with it" Akina said as they walked past the gates and saw dead plants all over and saw black thorn covering most of the gates.
"There is defiantly darkness here but what universe would this be? Is Goku dead in the universe and this is the result if no other Saiyan lived?" Trunks asked.
"I don't know but I don't think this is Earth" Akina said.
"Why do you say that?" Trunks asked.
"Well the gravity feels different and if this was an Earth of a parallel universe wouldn't all the Earth have the same gravity pressure even though the universes are different?" Akina asked.
"Hmm that is an interesting theory, I am defiantly going to look into that but for now let's get some answers about this place" Trunks said as he pushed open the doors to the castle.
The main entrance to the castle was dark and they saw dust covered furniture in all directions and no living soul in sight.
"This place must have been abandon for years this dust is like three inches thick!" Akina said brushing her finger over a dust covered table then whipped the dust off the finger.
"Hmm hey Akina lets split up I saw a library over there so you go check in there to see what you can find while I head upstairs" Trunks said.
"Okay Trunks" Akina said as we walked up the stairs and Akina followed a hall and pushed open the doors to a dark library.
"This place is so creepy it reminds me of a scene from a horror movie" Akina said walking past the selves filled with book but stopped when she noticed one book amongst hundreds of dusted covered books looking like it had been recently used and placed back as she walked over and pulled it out.
"The Kai Universe" Akina said reading the title as she flipped through the pages and found one page covered in blood and the writing looked like it was rushed.
'They've come, they managed to get pass the protective shield and began to poison the land, they killed everyone, I'm the last, if someone finds this please get off the planet they have eyes in the shadows! They control the shadows!' the message said as Akina could read anymore and set it back.
"What the hell happened here?" Akina said.
"Would you like to know?" a man asked as Akina gasped and quickly spun around only to see darkness.
"Who's there?" Akina asked as she heard a man laugh but couldn't tell which direction it was coming from.
"It's been such a long time since we've had visitors" the man said as Akina looked in all directions to find the source of the voice.
"Who are you? Where are you hiding?" Akina asked.
"Who said I was hiding?" the man said as Akina could feel the man hot breath on her ears as she quickly swung her leg only to hit the self behind her.
"Where the hell are you!" Akina yelled looking for the man.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" the man said.
"You really don't want to toy with me!" Akina yelled forming a kai ball as she saw it began to dim, "what the hell!" she said trying to form another but couldn't.
"Around me you cannot rely on light based attacks, so answer me this Akina, how do you fight someone you can't see that can manipulate the shadows?" the man asked.
"How did you know my name!" Akin yelled.
"Two hybrid Saiyans that left their universes is a very interesting topic the Lady is interested in" the man said.
"The Lady?" Akina said.
"The Lady of the castle and this universe, Lady Ozeray the Queen of the Shadow Lands" he said.
"Ozeray? What are you talking about?" Akina yelled.
"Upon entering this castle you and your boyfriend made a deadly mistake, any form of light cannot be used in this castle, so you can't use any kai blasts and Trunks can't become Super Saiyan meaning your just like a human, unable to use your full potential so basically your prey to the people of this castle" the man said.
"How many others?" Akina asked.
"Let's see there's me the Lady right hand man and then there's my sister right about now she dealing with your boyfriend so to answer your question there are three people residing in this castle and two intruders" the man said.
"How about you show yourself you coward!" Akina yelled.
"Show myself? Not that an amusing demand why should I let you see who I am?" the man asked.
"Well for one you know my name and you clearly can see me so I don't think it's very fair for you to have some information on your opponent while I don't!" Akina said.
"Hmmm interesting theory, alright you win" he said.
"I do?" Akina said.
"Yes I'll start with my name, I am Uroko the Demon of the Shadows, now which form would you like to see? My true form or my disguise form?" he said.
"Surprise me" Akina said.
"Alright then" Uroko said as she saw a hooded figure emerge from the shadows a few feet away from her as her eyes began to adjust as he removed his hood as she saw a rather handsome black haired man with blood red eyes and a very stern expression.
"Red not a natural eye color" Akina said.
"The eyes are the only part of the body that can't lie, even if I change my body the eyes can never change from what I truly am" Uroko said.
"What do you want?" Akina asked as Uroko smiled evilly.
"The Lady wishes for me to test you, and test you I shall I hope you're not afraid of the dark Akina because this is the only thing you'll see of me" Uroko said as Akina saw the room starting to darken as the room was engulfed in it.
IIIII
"Damn! Not a clue anywhere" Trunks said closing a door to a room as he saw a mirror at the end of the hall that wasn't covered in dust or cobwebs like everything else in the castle as he approached it and heard Akina scream.
"Akina!" Trunks said running towards the end of the hall but the rug under him pulled out for under his feet and he hit the ground as he turned to see his mirror image smiling sharp teeth at him and had the mirror laying in front of the mirror.
"What the hell?" Trunks said getting up to see the mirror turn into a woman with red eyes, long black hair, a black skin tight top and bottom piece with long knee high boots and long gloves as she smiled and stepped out of the mirror as she walked out into the hall.
"Welcome to the Shadow Lands Trunks, I'm Hex" the woman said.
"Alright lady just stay the hell out of my way I have better things to do then to deal with this!" Trunks said trying to run out the hall but he saw the end of the wall get closed off by sharp spikes.
"Oh you don't want to play a little game with little ole me?" Hex said.
"That's it! I warned you!" Trunks said forming a kai ball but saw it slowly dissolve, "what the hell? Why can't I make a kai ball?"
"That simple, here in this castle light can't be used so you can't form your precious kai blasts or turn into a Super Saiyan" she said.
"What is going on here and what are you doing to Akina!" Trunks yelled.
"My brother is testing your girlfriend while I get to test you, this is the Lady wish" Hex said.
"The Lady?" Trunks said.
"Yes the ruler of this universe and this castle, the Shadow Queen Ozeray" Hex said.
"What does she want?" Trunks asked.
"Like I said, she wants us to test you and Akina Trunks and if your one of the lucky few we will spare you but if you're not, well they don't call me the Demon of Manipulation for nothing" Hex said.
"A demon?" Trunks said.
"Yes my brother and I are powerful demons, he control the shadow while I can do something like this" Hex said turning into Akina but Trunks noticed the red eyes.
"Your little tricks won't work on me! Now let me out of here or you'll end up dead!" Trunks yelled.
"Oh you like to play rough huh? Well the lets play!" Hex said.
IIIII
Akina quickly hid around the corner of the bookshelves as she gripped her bleeding arm with three gashes.
"Come out little lamb I can smell your blood in the air and taste your fear" Uroko said.
'Dammit! I need to think of a way to kill this thing fast! But how?' Akin thought as she heard Uroko laugh as she quickly moved a few rows down.
'Wait if he wouldn't come out into light does that mean he has a sensitivity to light?' Akina thought as she looked to blackened window.
"Oh where oh where can the little lamb be, oh where oh where can she be?" Uroko sang as she heard him draw closer and moved in front of the window, "ah there you are little lamb" he said.
'Come on, get closer!' Akina thought.
"You are not one of the chosen so that mean you'll make a fine snack" Uroko said as his voice deepened and she heard his footsteps get heavier.
'Come on!' Akina thought.
"Say goodnight little lamb" Uroko said.
"No! Say good morning!" Akina yelled slamming her elbow into the glass as it cracked and fell onto her as the light came down on a bat like monster as it screeched and Akina saw it trying to move back into the dark as she saw several windows and felt her kai return as she blasted all the windows open as the bat began to burn as it screeched then explode into ash.
"Ow" Akina grunted ripping a piece of her shirt off and tied her injured arm to stop the bleeding.
"How ironic Uroko always thought he had every advantage in situations like these but in reality he over looked a very obvious flaw which evidentially brought his downfall" a woman said as Akina searched from the source of the woman voice.
"Where the hell are you hiding?" Akina asked.
"I'm not hiding I have no need to hide" the woman said as Akina looked up to see the woman on the second floor looking down at her and dressed in all black and had red eyes like Uroko did.
"You're a demon too aren't you?" Akina asked.
"Why yes I guess I am but I am a unique demon for you see I have to sun sensitivity like Uroko but I can control the shadows like he can" she said.
"Who are?" Akina asked.
"I am Lady Ozeray and you might just be useful to me after all" she said.
IIIII
Trunks was dodging spikes that came out of the ground towards him as Hex fired kai blasts at him.
'Damn! I can't keep dodging her attacks!' Trunks thought.
"Try dodging this!" Hex said as she fired a kai blast him as he dodged and remembered something.
-Flashback-
"What does she want?" Trunks asked.
"Like I said, she wants us to test you and Akina Trunks and if your one of the lucky few we will spare you but if you're not, well they don't call me the Demon of Manipulation for nothing" Hex said.
"A demon?" Trunks said.
"Yes my brother and I are powerful demons, he control the shadow while I can do something like this" Hex said.
-End of Flashback-
'She a demon of manipulation, she was able to shape shift before but to be able to create object out of your surrounding is far different, she manipulating my eyes, she said so herself that kai blast can't be used her but she was just using it seconds ago, she trying to tire me out she has no real strength' Trunks thought as he stopped moving.
"Awww are you giving up already Trunks?" Hex asked.
"No I'm far from giving up" Trunks said walking towards her.
"I wouldn't do that" Hex said as spikes started coming at him as he closed his eyes and kept walking as the spikes reached him and felt no pain as he opened them to see Hex horror written face.
"You shouldn't have told me what type of demon you were Hex because I know now that all you can do is create illusions" Trunks said.
"Stay back!" Hex said throwing a kai ball as Trunk let it reach him and end up phasing threw him.
"This is the end!" Trunks said as Hex moved back into the mirror as Trunks punched it.
"No!" Hex yelled as the mirror began to glow then explode as Trunks saw the room shift back to normal.
"Akina!" Trunks said running down the hall.
Trunks pushed the library doors open then saw blood on the floor as he followed the blood trail to see it stop by a broken window.
"Akina!" Trunks yelled looking out the window to only see cement below but no Akina.
"Did you lose something?" Ozeray asked as Trunks turned to see her on the second floor leaning on a railing and looking down at him.
"Where's Akina!" Trunks yelled.
"Why is such a handsome boy like you concerning yourself with a girl like that?" Ozeray said.
"Tell me where Akina is god dammit!" Trunks yelled.
"Oh such language, why is this girl so important? After all you're both just strangers or do you want more Trunks?" Ozeray asked.
"That's none of your business!" Trunks yelled.
"Oh it isn't huh? Well then I better get rid of the trash" Ozeray said snapping her fingers as Trunk was hit by some invisible force and sent flying through several bookshelves.
"Ugh! That hurt" Trunks grunted as he glared up at Ozeray.
"Your powerless compared to me boy" Ozeray said as Trunk was smacked into another row of bookshelves.
"Man this is annoying!" Trunks grunted as something dripped onto his hand as he saw a drop and flipped his hand over as another dropped landed in his palm as he looked up to see Akina floating in the air but her blood revealed something was wrapped around her.
"Akina! What are you hiding bitch! What do you really look like!" Trunks yelled.
"You really want to see what I truly look like?" Ozeray said as he saw tentacles began to appear all coming out of her back and was covering the library and wrapped around Akina so she couldn't talk or move but she kept struggling.
"What exactly are you Ozeray?"Trunks asked.
"I guess you can call me a leach, the planet is covered in my tentacles flood it with darkness so your both powerless to stop me" Ozery said.
IIIII
Floating outside the castle a small hooded boy made his way towards a tainted black crystal in a fountain as he hummed.
"This place is too dark for my taste and once the that demon done the Master should die and never be given a chance to regenerate" the boy said touching the stone as it glowed and turned blue as the planet shook.
"There, now I believe you can take it from here Trunks I need to make sure my friends are safe" the boy said as a white robot flew over to him.
"Poru, Poru! Mission accomplished Saiya!" Poru said.
"Thanks Poru now let's get going we don't have much time" Saiya said as they disappeared.
IIIII
"What! Who purified the crystal!" Ozeray yelled as Trunks and Akina felt their full powers return as Trunk powered to Super Saiyan and kai blasted the tentacle around Akina as she fell out and he caught her.
"Akina your arm" Trunks said seeing the three gashes.
"I'm fine finish her off now before it's too late" Akina grunted as Trunks set her down and charged at Ozeray.
"Die!" Ozeray firing a shadow kai blast at Trunks as he punched threw it then drew his sword as he stabbed it threw her heart and pinned her to a wall.
"I'm sorry Master, I have failed" Ozeray said as she turned into whips of darkness and vanished as Trunks pulled it sword out of the wall and quickly flew down to Akian.
"Is she dead?" Akina asked.
"Yeah she is" Trunks said.
"Good, Trunks is what she said true? About you wanting to be more than just friends?" Akina asked blushing as Trunks blushed.
"Well you are the most beautiful girl I ever meet and you are half-Saiyan like me and I'd really want to get to know you" Trunks said.
"How sweet" Akina said bring his lips down to her.
