"Okay, Magus. Tell me again. Where is it?", Son Gohan said.
"..I can't believe you! Do you EVER listen?! I already said it! The WEST!"
"Okay, okay! Jeeze! Okay, West then. Everyone, get ready." Marron and Ivy both floated up,
Ivy using the aid of her wings. Goten and Ryan both became enveloped in a white Aura before blasting
beside the two women. CJ followed, then Akujin and Magus and Trunks Jr. Then Gohan, last of all.
"Magus, you lead us. Okay? Good."
Magus sped West, using a technique for flying Gohan had no notion of. He'd have to ask him
sometime. But not now.
About two hours later, after a long silence, they arrived at a black tower. Gohan nearly gawked.
"I-is..this..the..the..Dark Empire's location? We can't it here!" Akujin went ahead and gawked.
"No way, silly fool. This is where the old Mages used to work. Now there are but a few. I am
one of the few left. Our leader, Kolaan, keeps the Dragonball."
"Wait..I thought YOU were the Master of Mages." Goten and Gohan said, in a monotone.
"I am. But I am only second. There are a few levels of rank. I am the Master, Kolaan is the
Leader. He holds more authority than I."
"Ohh..Good! Then I'll be right back!" Gohan's image blurred slightly, then dissappeared altogether.
He appeared, appeared is the only word to use, in the Main Hall.
"Here little Mage..I need to ask a favor of you!" As if hearing the summon, a shadow slowly
wound up in front of Gohan. It slowly took on a shape, that of a man, only an inch shorter than Gohan.
He had red hair, tied at the nape of the neck in a tail, and black, flowing robes, all about him. His
black eyes spoke of long years at his business, slightly aged faced spoke of hard times. He had a slight
muscular build, and appeared to be an easy fight, should it come to that. Gohan nearly grinned.
"Who are you, and how'd you get in? Only a Mage can open those doors," Kolaan said solemnly.
"I am Gohan. I defeated Cell a few years back. Remember that major threat to the Earth? Thought so.
I have met Magus, actually I traveled here with him, and I have come to ask for your Dragonball. Please,
let me have it."
From under the hood of his robes, Gohan barely noticed Kolaan's arched eyebrow. Kolaan's hands
tightened on the starr that Gohan just noticed in his hands. A staff, black wood, with a..a..Dragonball!
The six star ball! "Gohan, are you, now? How can you be Gohan? I must have..proof. And then, and only
then, may we arrange a deal."
Gohan grinned. "Very well.." Gohan's eyes tightened slightly, and he raised up to his full
height. The small amount of air in the room began to stir, then eventually whirled around Son Gohan.
His aura charged up, a plain white one, and then it slowly turned to a Golden Yellow color. "..Are you ready?"
Kolaan looked on, not moving, not blinking. Just looking.
Gohan's hair flashed yellow, then back to black, then yellow again. "Aaaah!" His slowly-changing
aura exploded into a burst of Golden Ki energy, and his hair glew a brilliant yellow. His pupils
became a deep emerald Green. Gohan's facial features hadn't changed, yet. Slowly the ground began shaking,
and Gohan floated into the air. "Haaaaaahhh!" His aura exploded again, this time larger, and his hair
became spikier than before. Small bolts of lightning could be seen reverberating off of Gohan's entire body.
Gohan landed in front of Kolaan, aura still blazing. "Is that proof enough, or must I do more?"
Kolaan waved his hand slowly. "No, I recognize the energy pattern. It is you. I thank you, Gohan.
All that time ago, I was afraid that we would have to go and duel Cell. Our magic could beat him.
But I didn't want to lose a single Mage. We owe you many thanks." Kolaan nodded slowly.
Gohan grinned, and his aura faded totally. "So you'll give me the Dragonball?"
Kolaan shook his head. "No, I said we could make a deal. You need to listen more..."
Gohan got a large sweatdrop on the side of his head, and openly gawked. (Oh yes! First time!
Classic Anime sign, baby! The sweatdrop!) "..Okay then. What do you want? I don't have much..I have
a kintoun." (That is the Flying Nimbus...)
Kolaan once again shook his head. "No, that won't do. I say we fight. Winner keeps the Dragonball.
But, should I win, I get something of yours."
"Like what?"
"What do you got?"
"Uhm...I don't have much. Hm..I can't make it an uneven deal. That's no fair. Let's see.."
Gohan paused for a few minutes, deep in thought. "Well..I do have..these!" Gohan pulled out a small leather
pouch that was at his belt. "These are sensu beans. They restore your body to full power, heal wounds,
restore any powers you may have, as well as fill you up!"
Kolaan nodded again, slowly. "I see. I could use those. Very well then. Deal." Kolaan's shape
slowly turn all black, and began rotating. "Begin!" All that could be seen was a black shadow moving
on the ground.
Gohan looked around, at the shadow, openly confused. "What..?" Then shadows sprang forward,
from everywhere, taking human form, but still black.
On impulse, Gohan charged one and threw a fist towards it. His hand went through the shadow, though,
and its knee jabbed Gohan in the gut, leaving him doubled-over in pain. "Wha..? How can I hurt them?!"
Kolaan's voice rang with soft laughter from all over the room. "Didn't I tell you? I control Shadows. It's my special
ability from being a Mage. Mortals can't harm them, but they can harm mortals!"
"Gah!" Gohan exploded into Mystic SSJ, then to True SSJ. He fired a silver blast at a wall, not meaning
to hit anything, but it DID hit a Shadow-warrior. The Shadow convulsed, and exploded, leaving no signs
of its existance. "Ah hah! Now I know how to harm them!"
Gohan floated into the air, and began firing rapid Ki blasts at each of the shadows. In turn,
each convulsed like the first, and exploded. Kolaan's shadow moved forward, to the middle of the room.
"How did..did..you figure that out? You have good Ki energy..Negative only makes Shadows stronger.
I suppose I'll have to face you." The shadow took on Kolaan's human form, but stayed a Shadow, and cupped
its hands to its sides, like the Kame Hame Ha. A ball could be seen growing from it, a black ball.
"Shadow Blast!" (It's like..the Shadow Kame Hame Ha.)
Gohan cupped his hands to his sides, and formed a hasty Kame Hame Ha and fired, countering.
Gohan being in True SSJ, both were sent flying into Kolaan, sending him sprawling on the ground. And
the blackness faded off of him, showing physical features once more.
Gohan floated down, and landed. "Do you admit defeat, Kolaan, Shadow Master?"
"..Yes." The staff floated towards Gohan, and he reached forward and jerked off the Dragonball.
"Alright! Great! That's another!" Gohan's Ki erupted, and then died down totally. His hair
returned to normal, and he was in Normal form once more.
"Hey Kolaan...We could use your skill. Since the Imperials have negative Ki, they couldn't harm
your Shadows."
"Imperials..? Wah..?" was Kolaan's response.
So Gohan hastily explained all of it, and Kolaan nodded. "It is my duty to help. And besides,
I NEED some fun."
Gohan grabbed Kolaan, and faded out of the room, appearing with the others.
Akujin grinned. "Took you long enough. We felt your Ki, Gohan. Do we kill him?" He nodded to
Kolaan.
"No, no! He joined us!"
Magus floated towards Kolaan. "Hello, Kolaan. I have two new pupils for you." He pointed towards
Ryan and Goten.
Kolaan shook his head, he seemed to do that often enough. "No, Magus. I'm leaving. I'll be
helping the Resistance fight the Empire. My help could be useful, and it is my duty."
Magus nodded. "Very well. I will train them in our ways. And in the Martial Arts as well."
Magus moved to Goten and Ryan. "Ready?"
Goten flew to Gohan. "I'll miss you, Gohan. But I'm going to be stronger than you! Just you wait
and see!" Goten floated slowly to Magus.
"Bye, Goten! And have a nice time, will you? Train hard, in both ways. I want to see you in a year!"
Ryan floated to CJ, slowly, and hugged her. "Bye, mom. I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too, Ryan." And she waved bye, as he floated off to Magus.
"..Now are you two ready?"
Both nodded in agreement, and Magus's body flashed, as they all disappeared.
"Well, now we almost have them, right, Trunks?" Gohan floated to Trunks Junior, who had been
watching silently. He merely nodded. He never seemed to show much emotion as of late.
Gohan would have to fix that. "Oh yeah. Now Magus has paid his debt. That's four Dragonballs."
"Okay then! Akujin, CJ, everyone! Welcome Kolaan to the crew!"
So, Kolaan joins the Resistance, Goten and Magus and Ryan leave, and one more Dragonball falls in their hands.
*~Oh my God! I updated! Go me! Like..I have purposefully not been posting them. Too lazy. I'll get another
one up *soon*..Uhhh..Trunks is gonn-..Better not spoil the plot. ^_^;; Anywho..Like..There'll be excerpts.
Some. More. Soon. Anyways..like..Ja ne.~*
