Chapter 12
It was the strangest thing Goten had ever witnessed, and he'd seen his fair share of oddities in his time. Blinding brilliant lights of all different colors were emanating from the two sisters in the center of everyone. Every now and again one of the girls would be thrown back or stumble slightly to their knees but then they would quickly recover and continue to what they were doing before. Trunks had tried to lend a hand by attempting to attack Locoyus while they were fighting, but there was a powerful force around them that could not be penetrated and he was thrown away.
A smile came to Keristas' lips as she outstretched her hands and engulfed her sister in a pure white light. Locoyus was lifted off the ground and then thrown back in defeat. She managed to pick herself up and stand. Her breathing was shallow and she showed signs of internal bleeding but she gave a twisted smile regardless.
"I see that your dweller powers are indeed superior to my own," she laughed maniacally, "But as you shall see I win with the bruit strength!" With that said she moved with lighting speed toward Keristas and rammed her fist deep in her sisters gut. It was now Keristas turn to fall down from an over powering attack. She wasn't down long before Locoyus was upon her again. She lifted her up by the back of her head and began beating her in the upper and lower abdomen as fast and as hard as she could. Blood was spat from Keristas as she was powerless to her sister's attacks.
It had only been a fraction of a second and Goten and Trunks found it hard to see her movements. Vegeta and Goku moved forward to assist Keristas, but Locoyus used her power on them to keep them at bay. Gohan was still too injured from their fathers to do anything so it was left to the boys. Goten couldn't help but feeling a mixture of anxiety and excitement. He had been wanting to beat Locoyus down for what she had done to his family and yet watching her fight with great speed and skill was intimidating. Weather Trunks was feeling the same or not could not be seen. He had the emotionless expression on his face as was his costume to do in battle.
"Let's do this Goten!" Trunks yelled confidently to both reassure his friend and signal the attack. With that said Goten pushed aside whatever he was feeling and lend in for the attack. He was going for a high kick in the head while Trunks was going for a swift punch in the mid section from the side angle. To their horror Locoyus used Keristas to block the attacks. They tried to stop but it happened to fast and they pummeled her instead. Locoyus laughed as she threw the beaten body of Keristas aside.
"Thanks for the help. So you boys want to play," she smiled as she entered a fighting stance, "well then, bring it on!" They barely had time to enter a stance of their own before she was attacking them. Her moves were so quick that by the time they blocked one she had already made three more. They were getting slung around like a couple of rag dolls. Somehow, they weren't quite sure how, she managed to sling them into each other which sent them sprawling on the ground.
"This is not working!" Goten mumbled from under Trunks.
"I think she knocked my tooth loose!!!" Trunks said angrily, "I think its time to level the playing field!" They then both changed into super saiyans with hopes of setting Locoyus in her place. With their power increased they rejoined the battle field.
"Oh looked they've changed their hair color- I'm soooo scared now!" Locoyus mocked them.
"Hey!" Goten yelled defensively, "Our eyes changed colors too!!!" Trunks hung his head and shook it in shame.
"Let's just get this over with," Trunks mumbled.
Their powers collided on the battle field. Blow for blow they were evenly matched. Even their energy attacks canceled each other out easily. It seemed to be a draw. Goten sat down next to Gohan while he let Trunks try a little one on one for a bit.
"I don't get why we can't beat her," Goten sighed.
"I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with her dweller powers that enable her to fight like this. I've been studying her and I've noticed that she's not drawing energy from herself like we do. She's getting it from somewhere else- I'm not sure where exactly. But as long as she still has access to it, it's only a matter of time before you run out of steam and she creams you," Gohan informed him.
"THE AMULET!!!" Goten yelled as he jumped up and pulled the small wooden box out of his pocket, "this is what stops a dweller's powers, somehow. I'm not sure how it works really, or how to make it work for that matter."
"The amulet of nightmares? I read about it in the scrolls I found. How did you get it?" Gohan wondered.
"Long story, why don't you just tell me how to get it to work."
"Well, you put it around their neck, and another dweller uses their power to activate it."
"And our dweller is out of commission," Goten sighed as he looked over to where Keristas was still lying on the ground.
"Yeah, it's not like we could give her some of our power or anything to help revive her," Gohan said sarcastically.
"Too bad," Goten clearly didn't notice the sarcasm in his brother's tone, as he often didn't.
"Idiot! Of course we can, now bring her over here and I'll give her mine so that you can still help. It's going to be hard to get it on her. She's not going to just let you do it you know," Gohan sighed as Goten brought Keristas over to him and gently placed her before him. Gohan placed his hand on her forehead and gave her the remaining bit of strength that he had. It worked and she slowly sat up and painfully held her stomach.
"Okay, here's the deal. Trunks and I will put this on her somehow and you do whatever it is you do and make it work," Goten explained, well sort of.
"All right," she stood up and began to prepare herself for her task. Goten hesitated before continuing looking from the amulet in his hand to Keristas then Locoyus. He then joined Trunks.
"What's up?" Trunks panted as he landed next to his friend. Goten whispered what had to be done. "Sounds hard enough, let's do it!" Together they attacked her. The only way they could get the amulet around her neck was for one of them to hold her somehow so she couldn't resist. They had no idea how they were going to accomplish this however so they were just going to wing it best they could.
After several failed attempts Trunks finally grew frustrated and somehow managed to wrap his legs around her neck while he was pulling her hair. Goten then grabbed her arms around her back and tossed Trunks the amulet. He then pulled an interesting series of contorts and managed to get the amulet successfully around her neck.
"Now Keristas!" Trunks yelled as he and Goten continued to hold her best they could. Keristas floated up to where they were. Her hands were clasped in front of her and her head was held down as if she were meditating. She then looked Locoyus in the eyes and held her arms out stretched in front of her body.
"You don't want to do this Keristas, it's me Locoyus your sister!" she pleaded.
"You have done unspeakable evil with your powers and now they will be taken from you and you will be banished forever!" Keristas said as a hot blue light shot from her hands and entered the amulet. It seemed to be absorbing the energy. After the blast was complete the amulet was glowing as it had been before when Keristas was wearing it.
"Release her, she can do nothing to you. I will now banish her to the forgotten realm," Keristas said.
"You wouldn't!" Locoyus cried, "Not to your own blood!"
"You are no kin to me," she said coldly as she held one hand out toward her sister with her palm out stretched to her. As she began to clench her fist Locoyus began to fade until finally she was completely gone.
"That was so way cool!" Goten grinned.
"Yeah, it was all me," Trunks laughed, "so what's the forgotten thing anyway?"
"It's a place that is completely void of life. It has no exits. You can only be sent there and you can never return," she explained, "I thank you for your help. Without you my realm would still be under her rule and countless others would have fallen. We are all in your debt."
"Yeah well, they were trained well," Goku smiled as he and Vegeta joined them.
"It was MY son that held her first and put the thing on," Vegeta bragged.
"My son gave the little girl the energy so it all could have happened, Trunks could have held her all day long with that thing on, but it wouldn't have done jack unless she had the energy," Goku reminded him.
"You can argue about this later," Gohan laughed as he hobbled over to them, "I'm just glad she's gone and this is finally over."
"Yes there are still some issues that must be taken care of that will require your assistance," Keristas smiled, "The gate is still open so if you and your families will join us we can take care of it."
"Trunks and I are already there!" Goten smiled.
"I bet Chi-chi is going insane, we'll be over in a bit," Goku smiled as he disappeared.
"My woman and I will be there much faster than Kakorate and his female!" Vegeta said as he too left.
"Let's go, we'll see you later Gohan," Goten smiled as he, Trunks and Keristas left.
That evening there was a huge celebration in the castle that now belonged to Keristas. The Briefs and the Sons were both present as the guests of honor. They ate until they could eat no more. They then talked about things of the past and how now they could go back to some of their old ways with a few updates. After the celebration was over they returned through the gate. The book was then taken and the gate was shut. Under Keristas strict instructions the book was given to Goten to guard. Keristas never forgot them and would frequently return to their realm to spend time with them.
And so the reign of Locoyus was lifted and the realms were safe once again all thanks to a couple of children that were thought to be no real threat at all.
*****Well that's the end of "Dream Dwellers". I hope you've enjoyed it. So, please review and let me know what you thought about my story now that it's finally finished and you can read it all=) Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it=)=)
