Kaiooshin-kai: A History

Book of Swords, part 4: Death

A DBZ fanfiction by LadyRivka

After what seemed like hours of frenzied dancing, Bibidi sealed up Majin Buu back in his shell with his customary "pa-pa-ta-pa-PAAAA!". The wizard then rolled the ball towards the South…

Until he sensed something. The most powerful God, Dai Kaiooshin, would make an easy target. Bibidi knew that the old, fat, kindly god was near death, and of this he would waste no time in taking advantage.

Thusly the wizard set a new course for himself and his hideous creation; they would stop in the middle of the planet first, absorb Dai Kaiooshin, and then destroy the South.

Dai Kaiooshin sat upon this throne in the planet's central courtyard, feeling his heartbeats weakening and his breath become more shallow and rapid. He knew his time had come…

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a short, ugly figure meander by with a large veined ball rolling behind it. Closer it came, closer still. The God of Gods was frightened, but he convinced himself that, in the last days of his life, he was hallucinating.

The trouble was, he wasn't.

The short, rodentlike creature waved his hands and yelled his usual incantation of "Pa-pa-ta-pa-PAAAA!", and out of the ball came what could only be described as a pink blob with squinty eyes.

"ME EAT YOU UP!" it yelled at the God of Gods. Dai Kaiooshin quivered in fear; his heart began to stop and his breathing slowed, but, before he could die with any dignity, Majin Buu had him turned into a massive pound cake.

While Buu stuffed the cake into his mouth, Bibidi cheered. "Good, good, my pet! With the God of Gods gone, the Universe shall certainly go into a shambles! Which means it will be much easier to destroy the other Kaiooshins and get the power I deserve! Don't you agree, Buu?"

The pink demon nodded his head "yes" while he ate. When he was finished with the Dai-Kaiooshin-pound-cake, he got up, and screamed, "BUU!"

"Excellent, excellent! Now we're going to pay a little visit to the South. Hold on tight, Buu!" said Bibidi as he waved his arms about, returning the demon to his shell.

Hoshiko just stood next to East Kaiooshin and Kibito, her head slumped down,and muttered, "He's gone…"

The other two could sense that Dai Kaiooshin had died, but they didn't know how.

"Yes, I knew he was very sickly. I would not be surprised to learn he had died," said Kaiooshin.

No, no. He didn't die of natural causes… she thought.

You mean…?

Correct, sir. This Majin force or whatever it is has gotten to him. The Universe may go haywire, of this there is good possibility. But what I'm even more scared of is that we will go, too, and the Universe may cease to exist…

Dear Universe! interrupted Kibito. The last thing I would want is…

Yes, yes, interrupted Hoshiko, that Kaiooshin-sama should die. We all know that.

The two of them turned to face the Eastern Mage, faces flushed.

They knew not what to say or think, as her last comment had captured them totally off-guard.

Bibidi and Buu crossed down to the Southern Universal Quadrant of Kaiooshin-kai , raiding houses, turning people into creampuffs and scones, wrecking astronomical equipment, and generally causing a panic. They continued to do so until they reached the residence of South Kaiooshin and Shirotori.

Bibidi attempted to kick down the door, but it would not budge. He kicked and kicked harder still, but it wouldn't move. He even had Buu try to throw his whole body weight onto the door, but no luck. The door was surrounded by a seal of strong magick.

"What- what the hell is this?" screamed the wizard, his arms waving wildly.

From inside, a male voice said, "I knew you were coming, so I put a barrier around the door."

"What? A barrier? Certainly I can break it down using Kuromajutsu."

"I'd like to see you try." Hakuchoo Shirotori amplified the magical energy around the door, but to no avail; within ten seconds the door was knocked down by the combined forces of Kuromajutsu and Shirotori's barrier turned into dark energy by the black magical art.

"What the-?" asked South Kaiooshin from his throne.

"My lord, these are the creatures about which I have prophecied. I knew not what the wizard looked like, but the demon he created is very familiar to me. I have seen it numerous times in visions."

"You should be proud, you have a strong mage there," snickered Bibidi to South Kaiooshin. "But I doubt he is a match for my Majin Buu!"

Just then, Buu fired his "antenna" at Shirotori. The mage lifted up his staff, said a few secret incantations in his mind, and attempted to block the oncoming energy. But it was no use, as the staff gave out and Buu ended up turning Shirotori into a pile of pancakes, which he then shoveled into his mouth.

"Good job, my pet! Now go eat the yummy god over there while his defense is down."

"Buu!" replied the corpulent blob as he walked towards South Kaiooshin. The god hid behind his throne, petrified, but it was no use.

Shirotori, he mused, I should have listened to you…but it's too late, as you are pancakes…

Those were the final thoughts of East Kaiooshin before Buu turned him into a jelly donut and ate him.

"Ha ha! Terribly, terribly easy! We will have this planet at our mercy, Buu! Hahahahaha!" Both wizard and demon danced again in mindless circles, quite happy at their proposition.

Kaiooshin and Kibito could not help but notice that Hoshiko was now crying, face buried in her hands.

What's wrong? asked the god telepathically.

The South has been destroyed, and…and Lord Shirotori is… The sound of plaintive wails even cut into her telepathic communication.

Poor girl, thought Kaiooshin to Kibito. Probably liked him…

I DID NOT! interrupted the mage. He was just a good friend…

Listen, thought Kibito, I know how this unrequited love thing is, (he glanced over at Kaiooshin) and I think you had something for the Lead Southern Mage. But I could be wrong.

Would you please stop embarrassing me! thought Kaiooshin, his face even more red than before.

I'm sorry, sir, I will attempt to not embarrass you too much. I humbly apologize, Lord Kaiooshin-sama. Kibito bowed his head in shame.

In the back of his mind, 'Shin thought, What did I do? I guess all this death and confusion is getting to this quadrant…
