Chapter 2: The Candidates
*Thirty minutes ago*
After the mysterious being, who claimed to be a Kai, left, the Elder Kai continued to question Supreme Kai about the being.
"So, who the hell was that guy?"
"Ok. You better make yourself comfortable."
"Oh! It's one of those stories."
"Do you want to hear this or not?!"
"Ok! Ok! The all mighty Supreme Kai has to have his way."
"Now, if you will let me begin. You don't know this because you've been trapped in the Z-sword for some time. I had to deal with this the first thousand years on this job as Supreme Kai."
"Just get to the good stuff."
"Before Bibidi created Majin Buu…"
"What is it with you and Majin Buu?" Elder Kai asked. "It's always Majin Buu this and Majin Buu that…"
"Just shut up and listen!" Supreme Kai snapped.
The Elder Kai closed him mouth.
"In the history of the Kais, you know there have been some…bad apples, as the earthlings put it. Most of them were weak Kais that didn't really have a purpose. They were just there because of the Universal Constant. Most of them misbehaved, were fired, and sent to King Yemma. However, there was one who was more powerful than the East, West, North, South, and Grand Kai combined. We referred him as the Dark Kai, but he took on a name that the Norsemen from earth took as their god of mischief, Loki."
"You mean he visited earth?"
"When it was still developing as a planet, he engraved and signed a picture of himself in a cave. After that, he left. He was bent on bringing the whole universe under his control using his powers. Most of the time, he only fooled around, and I was able to stop him. He once tried to destroy the universe, so he could reconstruct it, by collapsing a massive star. I stopped him from just that, but it wiped the sun's entire system of life."
"A black hole."
"Yes. He tried that scheme many times, much to the pity of the life wiped out in the process. He always considered me his rival until Buu appeared. After some of the Grand Kais were gone, he sought to destroy Buu on his own by trapping him in a limbo in space-time. Bibidi ordered Majin Buu to trap the Dark Kai in it. Using his own power, Buu sealed the rift of the limbo. I thought that would be the end of him, but it appears that when Buu's true form was finally defeated, his power on the rift was gone as well. The Dark Kai only waited for a time to strike. Now, he wants to take over the universe again according to this letter."
"So what do we do?"
"Even though he's not as powerful as Majin Buu, I still can't defeat him. That's why I need recruits. He's given me the opportunity to send three beings to face him in his new base of operations. He's obviously daring me to go their myself but playing his little game might give us the element of surprise."
"So, send the Saiyans. They did an excellent job on Buu. They'll wipe the floor with him."
"It's not that simple. He has the power to wipe out and bring back groups of the same race. It's a power I'm convinced he tried to use on the Kais before. I can get one Saiyan, but that's it. Otherwise, all of them will be gone as soon as he knows they are Saiyans."
"So, get Goku."
"My thoughts exactly. I also want to get the good form of Majin Buu. He's not as powerful as he once was, but he can still take on a Kai. Plus, it's the perfect way to defeat Loki once and for all. Buu can transform him into a piece of candy, rendering him powerless. Now I need a third warrior. Not that I'm doubting the power of the others, but Goku's friends simply aren't strong enough, not even Piccolo."
The Elder Kai thought for a moment.
"How about that guy you told me about that that kid Gohan defeated? You know. Cell."
"CELL!? What in King Yemma's name are you talking about!? I might as well go with Piccolo, at least he used to be the guardian of the earth!"
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?!!" Supreme Kai shouted throwing his hands into the air in frustration, "You want me to let loose a power that almost became as much a threat as Majin Buu, if given time!"
"But, Cell is stronger than the other earth warriors."
"You old coot! King Kai has told me of his life. This guy was a bit stronger than Dabura when he was in the final stage of his life. Who knows how much stronger he's elevated himself to by now."
"He should be in hell separated from his body."
"Well, he's not. He even tried to take over the after life with a gang of villains."
"Well, just strike a deal with him. Convince King Yemma to give his twenty-four hours to live, and promise Cell something for helping. If he gets killed, he'll be wiped from existence, and nobody cares. Win-win scenario."
"What am I going to bargain with?" Supreme Kai asked.
"Leave that up to me."
We will return to Enemy Alliance…right now. In other words, I posted this chapter with the next.
