Kaiooshin-kai: A History

Book of Swords, part 2: Kita-no Taisen (Northern War)

A DBZ fanfiction by LadyRivka

Bibidi and Buu wandered around the Northern Quadrant, raiding houses and eradicating all life there, changing it into delectable edibles for Majin Buu to feast on.

"So, my pet, are you full yet? I should say not, since we have yet to find the North Kaiooshin! He shall be quite tasty, don't you think, Buu?"

"Me think turn him into chocolate cake!" said the pink blob with something resembling a smile on his face.

"Good, good. Now we search for him, and possibly the Star-Child, yes?"

"Buu!" he agreed. "Me want eat!"

Bibidi cackled. "Of course you do, my pet. You can turn the whole Universe to shishkabobs if the gods aren't there to stop you!" He raised his arms up, a gesture that signified that he, too, was hungry, but not for food- he was hungry for POWER. ABSOLUTE POWER. And he didn't care what he had to destroy to get it.

The wizard and the demon-spawn kept walking around and around the North Quadrant, not bothering to stop and ask for directions, as Bibidi was too arrogant and stupid to do such a thing.

Then they stumbled into a young man, tall and elegantly slender, with elfin ears and a seemingly gelled pageboy-type haircut.

He yelled, "Lord North Kaiooshin-sama, these are who the ones from the South have been warning me about. They come to destroy our planet."

North Kaiooshin got up from a half-sleeping daze. "Yes, yes, my fine Yuki Tsukibana, why did you not tell me of this earlier?"

"You were too busy, my lord."

"I see. So the Lead Northern Mage could not find time to tell me of such goings-on?"

"No, I was free, my lord. You were too busy manufacturing those damned potaras."

"I see."

"Now we must put up a good defense," said the Northern Mage.

"You will die before you get the chance to!" interjected Bibidi. "You see, this demon, my creation, Majin Buu, is much stronger than you and the North Kaiooshin put together! And he has also exterminated the whole of your populace and robbed their energy. Now, what do you have to say for yourself?"

The North Kaiooshin and Tsukibara gasped in unison.

"Worry not, my lord," said Tsukibara, "I shall defend you." With that, he raised a sphere of purest white light from his palm, and shouted an incantation:

"May the light I holdeth in my hand

Put these two evildoers at bay;

No more harm shall they do in this fair land,

and may Death come and seal them away!"

The light left his palm, growing ever more fierce in its intensity, ramming the air particles in search of its targets.

But Bibidi yelled his customary "Pa-pa-ta pa-PAAA!", and the powerful magic bounced off of him and Buu and returned to Tsukibana, the light changed into the darkness of Kuromajutsu; the mage, being unable to block the transformed spell, was blown to smithereens,

Bibidi just stood there and cackled like a maniac. "So, North Kaiooshin, you are the only one left in this quadrant. How does it feel to be the last one standing?"

All North Kaiooshin could do was stand there in fear and shock. Buu puffed up his cheeks and aimed his "antenna" at the petrified North Kaiooshin, turning him into a giant chocolate cake.

"Mmmm….yummy!" said Buu before shoving the chocolate cake into his mouth.

"Good work, dear Buu!" applauded the wizard. "He didn't even put up a fight! if the gods are that easy to defeat, our work here will be a piece of cake!"

"Buu!" The pink demon applauded.

The two nonchalantly travelled down the road to the West Quadrant, to see hwat "challenges" awaited them there.

Hoshiko was stirred from slumber. Her stomach felt somewhat empty, not out of hunger, but out of the feeling part of Kaiooshin-kai was missing.

Shirotori! They have…

Yes, I know, said the Southern mage telepathically, they have destroyed the North. The West is their next target. I don't know how the Westerners will react, especially since I have a feeling brute force alone will not exterminate this threat. A combination of magic and strength will defeat them. I don't know if any of the quadrants have such a thing…even the South or East…

Oh, dear Universe!

Lady Hoshiko, be calm. We will get to things as they come. I am very sorry that Tsukibara died. We didn't know him too well, but he was still a Lead Mage, so it feels like a part of me has died, too.

That explains the feeling in my stomach, thought Hoshiko.

Yes, yes. Now I must be off to discuss important matters with South Kaiooshin.

Hoshiko got up on her feet and ran to tell East Kaiooshin, or 'Shin, as he had been affectionately termed by those who knew him well.

"Kibito-san, did you feel something?" asked East Kaiooshin to his assistant.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"This planet will be dead soon, and I don't know if I can stop it or not. I believe is it the will of the Universe that at least one Kaiooshin survive. And I hope it is me."

"I hope so too, sir," smirked Kibito, his face much too serious for a genuine smile. "If I must die so you may live, so be it."

"You are quite the assistant," the young god smiled.

And Kibito thought in the back of his head, soft enough so it wouldn't be picked up by telepathic signals:

And you are quite the perfect being, my dear Kaiooshin-sama.

Hoshiko came running towards the both of them, gasping for precious breath.

"It's…it's…" she stuttered.

East Kaiooshin calmly stated, "If this is about the North of Kaiooshin-kai being destroyed, I already know. They will come around to the East within the next few days. We will take care of this evil when it comes around to us."

I hope so, thought Hoshiko. I truly hope so.

A/N= Tsukibana: "Moon Flower".

I'm sorry this part had to start so lamely, it just that I got stuck at the beginning.

PART 3- West battle.
