Both the Z warriors flew towards the strange light, that had beamed down to the surface. Hovering in the air, Goku and Vegeta darted their heads around in search of the culprit. "Where did it go?" Goku questioned seriously, then shut his lids to try and sense out the being's energy.
"Over there, Kakerot!" Vege-man pointed out and stuck his index finger to his ally's other side. Goku peered over in the said direction, then spotted a huge dust cloud scattered amongst the ground. They flew quickly towards it as fast as they could, soon having Piccolo and Gohan join them from behind.
"Hey Piccolo! Coming to see what's going on too, huh?!" The Gi-guy asked the green bean from behind him, earning a swift glance from the male.
"Yeah...! I sensed a strong power level nearby and came to check up on it...!" Piccolo answered, soon having Gohan speak up from his side and seen him soar closer to his dad.
"Dad be careful, I don't like this feeling I'm getting! It feels like Akasma's power only...stronger and darker!" He warned, then seen his father nod in understanding. Vetega grumbled and squinted his gaze, he too was feeling the same kind of power as Akasma's. Honestly, he could careless about what's going on... He just wants to be there to fight, so he can try to get ahead of Kakerot for once.
Finally, they all made it and gradually descended. Landing with ease, they all glued their orbs on the giant cloud of flown dirt; Trying to see if there are any moving figures within. Everyone narrowed their gaze to try and see better, only for them to widen when the dust cleared and exposed the being that hid inside.
The very woman who was once on Beerus's planet, was crouched and was seen in side view. The sides of her pink hair hid her face, as she slowly risen; Giggles emitted from her, then her head turned and her red Aeronan orbs viewed the lifeforms that stood not too far from her. She twirled in place, laughed, blushed and started skipping happily their way.
All four men got ready for any attack that she'd use, only have her almost skip past them without a single care in the world. She kept giggling to herself, until she stopped in front of Goku with a big friendly smile. "Hello, have you seen a woman that has the same face as me?!~" She questioned and leaned forward, with her index finger pointing to her cheek.
"You mean Akasma...? Who're you and what do you want with her?!" Gohan asked in a defensive manner, only have the pinkette jump backwards and laugh hard; Her orbs were shut and the blush was still evident.
"Ooooo-ta-meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!~" She replied as she spun in place happily, only to get stopped by Goku who walked closer to her.
"What does that mean?" His quizzical but strict look made her giggle more and smile.
(Play the song: 'Metalstep – Insanity Syndrome', It's on youtube.~) The scene shown on her mouth this time, her lips closed and smiling mischievously. "Busineeeeesss.~" She answered with the view of her lips, gradually moving up to show her orbs. (This is where the guitar picks up~) It zoomed out and one of her Aeronan eyes squinted, while she stuck her tongue out. She vanished quickly, using the same technique as Akasma only...she was faster.
Everyone disappeared too, trying to catch up to her only to find out that she was far ahead of them and it surprised the men. The pink haired woman was heard laughing loudly, as she spun rapidly in the air with her pink ki wings. With little effort, she disappeared once more and astonished them again. "We have to catch her, before she gets to Akasma!" Goku shouted and received nods from the other three, then increased their speed using their power ups. Goku made his hair turn yellow, along with Gohan and Vegeta. Piccolo managed to match up to their speed after putting a lot of effort into his flight.
Akasma was still rushing to Bulma's house, feeling the immense power gaining on her like some race car. "I must hurry!" She mentally shouted, until...right behind her against her backside...the pink haired woman appeared and had an open smile. Her lids were wide, pink dusted her cheeks and her smile was open. Shadow covered her face, making her red orbs appear demented and creepy. The pallid Aeronan gasped slightly, her blue pupils shrunk at the sudden presence and heard giggling behind her.
The scene showing the back of Akasma's head, she turned it cautiously and had her only noticeable blue orb shrink in even more from surprise. She vanished using her technique, only to have the pinkette do the same. Trying to shake her off her tail, she flew all over the sky in curves, U turns and spins. Nothing seemed to work, the other woman stuck to her back like glue and mimicked every move she'd make in the air. "Why won't she leave me alone, who is she?!" She questioned loudly in her head, then got startled when the very woman appeared under her...still matching up with her flight speed. She giggled even more, was face to face with her and her lids squinted happily.
Shigiyuki did the only thing she could think of and that was...taking up her bow, flying high into the sky and threatening her. The woman followed suit, continuing to stick to her front side and mimic her. The pinkette formed a giant red, double bladed axe. They both stopped up in the clouds, Akasma had her bow aimed at her with a serious gaze and the other Aeronan now had...two axes formed. She was still giggling, smiling and blushing... "Who are you and why are you after me?!" She questioned the stranger, with a green ki arrow aimed her way.
"To kill you silly!~ Why else?!~" She asked in return, then bolted after her and prepared to swing one axe at the pallid Aeronan. Akasma dodged and vanished using her technique, then reappeared above her head and shot out the arrow. The pinkette, easily moved to the side, spun once and chucked one of her red axes in the pallid Aeronan's way. (song ends here!~) It was so fast that she didn't even get to react in time, until...someone appeared in front of her. The backside of a male was in view...it was Beerus, he had caught the red axe easily and stared down at the pink haired Aeronan with a scowl. Akasma's only visible iris shrunk at the sight, seeing the feline's back made her wonder if he took the hit or not. She was too stunned at the moment to even think right now... She...almost got killed...
"So 'you're' the one, Whis told me about... Who are you and why are you after Akasma?!" He asked angrily, whilst holding the axe with one hand and his other behind his back.
"Heeeeeehehehehehehe!~ It looks likes you're safe for now, I'll see you lateeeeeer!~" She laughed and vanished, her power level and presence both disappeared. She was no were in sight, not even a piece of evidence remained; That was...until a small dark violet ki shaped knife was embedded into Akasma's back.
The four men from earlier managed to catch up and spotted Lord Beerus, in front of the Aeronan. "Where did she go?" Goku questioned and soon Gohan spoke up, floating closer to his father.
"Akasma, are you alright?!" Next was Piccolo, he rose his voice at seeing her shocked features and squinted his lids.
"I don't think she is, Gohan... She's frozen! …..Lord Beerus...what happened...?" The instrument man questioned the purple cat, who glanced his way with his slits and frowned.
"She was about to get killed, if I haven't arrived in time... WHIS, WHERE ARE YOU?!" With that question, in came his teacher with his arms behind his back and the same phial from before, in one of his grasps.
"Forgive me Lord Beerus but, I went and asked Bulma if she would be able to duplicate this antidote. She said she can but, it would take some time..." He answered and kept his purple irises on his student, then looked over at the Aeronan. "Akasma...-" Before he got to finish, he seen her raise her hand to reach out to everyone.
"Help...m-" She tried to respond, only to have her body give out and her mind to shut down. She fell sideways, shut lids and her arm still reaching towards them. Whis disappeared and reappeared just below her, preparing to catch her with his lazily out stretched arms. Catching her, he looked into her face and frowned...something was off...
"Did she pass out again, from her disease...?" Vegeta questioned as everyone moved closer, soon having the teal colored man shake his head.
"I'm afraid not... Lord Beerus, could you check her backside? I believe I have spotted something rather...peculiar, it was purple." He asked the feline, not once averting his gaze from the Aeronan.
"I better get some pudding for this..." He grumbled, then peeked at her backside. There it was...a dark violet ki shaped, knife... It was seen sticking out a ways from her upper back, right where her neck attaches to her spine. He pulled it out and examined it closely. "It must have been from that woman, she probably got her with it when she left. Whis, I'm going to look for that Aeronan! You go extract that poison or something!" Before Beerus got to take off after the pinkette, Vados and Chompa appeared just before him.
"Whis, go ahead and take care of that poison please; I shall explain this situation we have, we don't want Eglantina dead.~" Vados spoke up and earned quizzical expressions from everyone.
"What are you two doing here?!" The feline asked with fury on his face. The fat cat soared close to the thin kitty and smirked, making the Lordship growl under his breath.
"We're here to get Eglantina back to her universe, you got a problem with that?" Mr. Fluffiness questioned Beerus. The thin feline was about to holler, when Vados interrupted their 'conversation'.
"Eglantina Shworvin is Akasma Shigiyuki's alternate version, she belongs in universe 6 and we must retrieve her." She flew closer to the others and continued her explanation. "We have just recently learned of what she's been doing and might I say, it is not good..." She finished, making the four men, Beerus and Whis raise a brow. Piccolo, Vegeta and Beerus soon had their expressions change, to serious.
"What do you mean, 'It is not good'?! Be more specific!" Vegeta yelled with clenched fists, followed by Gohan who did the same.
"I mean, she is killing specific Aeronans from each Universe... We have yet to know why 'them' specifically and what reason she has for it but, as for now...we must catch her before she kills Akasma. So far, we have learned that Shigiyuki was her alternate version." Vados explained and made everyone's gazes widen, except Beerus of course...
"How do we catch her then?! She's too fast!" Piccolo asked, with slight worry in his features.
"Yeah, we can't catch her... She's faster than the speed of sound, almost at the speed of light! She also seems to use the same technique as Akasma, only...Eglantina's different. We heard her! When she used that technique...it was as if the whistling of wind went higher in pitch, in such little time!" Gohan exclaimed, then looked over at the said Aeronan who laid in Whis's arms.
"Yes, wind can almost reach the same speed as light...so Shworvin is able to do the same. If trained, Akasma will be able to as well.~ Though fear not, I shall look for her. Whis and I are capable of moving at the speed of light, so we should be able to catch her." The woman stated, before looking over at her brother 'Whis'. She floated on over and faced him with a lazy smile. "Go on ahead and extract the poison, then could you help me track Eglantina down?" She asked and placed her free hand against her backside, whilst the other one held on to her staff.
"Of course.~ Hmm, what about our alternate selves? Are they possibly looking for her too?" He asked in return, before using his staff to make Akasma levitate in the air. Doing so, he leaned over, moved his hand on the wound the knife left and had it glow. Poison began to faze out of the cut, slowly getting lifted up above his hand and forming a ball of the very substance.
"I'm afraid so... Though they are too preoccupied with their assigned God of Destructions for their universe, to even take the chance to go looking for the wondering Aeronan. If we cannot catch her, I'm positive the 'All' king would request our presence, including the Gods of Destruction and their attendants." With Vados's words, the teal colored man nodded and was soon accompanied by both similar felines.
"So you're telling us, that this pink haired Aeronan is a Multiverse threat?" Beerus questioned with a risen brow, then everyone decided to come closer.
"'Multiverse threat'? Is it because that 'Eglantina' woman, is killing people that's not in her own universe?" Piccolo asked.
"I am afraid so... A Multiverse threat, is a level of danger that is bestowed to those who kill others that aren't in the same universe. It is similar to humans, how they announce certain colors for threat levels. For example, 'Code Red' or...Red alert'; Sometimes they even describe the level of the threat, by using the names of strong creatures, such as: Turtle, bird, snake, raptor, or dinosaur." The tall woman explained, after looking in their direction.
"It's not right for her to do that but, why are you calling her a 'Multiverse threat'? Is killing people not in her own universe, really that bad of a problem?" The gi-guy questioned and scratched his head with a quirked brow.
"Kakerkot, of course it's a huge threat! Otherwise they wouldn't be here looking for her, if she wasn't!" Vegeta shouted with an irk mark throbbing on his head, making the said man raise his hands in defeat and chuckle nervously.
"Sorry, I just didn't understand very well." He admitted and laughed out of embarrassment. His ally just clicked his tongue and looked away, with his arms crossing all the while.
"That's because you're an idiot...!" He mumbled, making Goku laugh a little more in return.
"It's a huge threat, because killing off your own alternate version or other beings from a different universe, can cause an imbalance amongst the ecosystem of all worlds. I know of a woman who defends multiple worlds to keep the balance in them, we do not see her often but...she is quite intriguing." Whis stated, then moved his irises back down to Akasma. He flipped her back over and moved her back into his arms, holding her princess style. "She calls herself, the Multi-world defender. Though as cliche as that sounds, she is actually rather powerful.~" He continued, then chuckled with a teasing smirk and looked up over at his Lordship. "Stronger than even Lord Beerus...~" He mumbled, only to earn a growl and a deadly glare from the cat.
"Enough! Let's get her healed up and that antidote duplicated, so I can find that pink Aeronan!" He yelled, then disappeared and left everyone else there.
"I must go and lay her on her bed, Bulma will surely be unhappy to know that she got attacked. So long, Vados.~" With that, Whis too left and had everyone else hover there with confused features.
"We must be going too, the longer we wait the further Eglantina will get.~" Whis's sister announced and teleported elsewhere, followed by a grinning Chompa.
"We need to go warn everyone else, they need to know about this. Vegeta, go back to Bulma and explain the situation, I'll go talk to Chichi and King Kai. Hopefully King Kai, can find her with his antennas." Goku said and had everyone nod, soon they all left to go to their destinations to inform their comrades.
