Chapter 8: Evil Returns
Everyone stared into the crystal ball, their hearts accelerating with every move. Gohan was out there trying his best, but his best was just wasn't cutting it. The fight had been fair until Majin Buu had absorbed both Gotenks and Piccolo. Now he seemed to have the extra power that was needed to destroy Gohan. The fight was going downhill for our heros.
The five people sat closely around the visual ball, totally entranced. Teeth were gritted. Palms were sweaty. Hands were shaking. The tension was so thick that you could only cut it with a strong sword. Only one thing was rolling through their heads.
This is the end.
Finally the Supreme Kaioshin could not take the silent tension any longer. "NO!!! THERE MUST BE A WAY!!!"
He was now on his feet, his face plastered with determination. This universe was his responsibility and he would not just sit and watch it go to shambles. No, there must surely be a way to defeat Majin Buu!
*But how?*
"There must be a way........", he said, sounding rather exasperated, but a little bit calmer than before, ".....to defeat Majin Buu. I will not give up now, or ever."
*You ask for a miracle Supreme Kaioshin. How do you know that Majin Buu shall be defeated?*
*Where there is a will, there is a way. I know that this universe will find a way to survive Infinity. I just know it.*
She sighed out loud. "Very well Supreme Kaioshin. You have asked for a miracle, and so I shall grant you one."
*~*~*~*~*
Infinity slowly stood up, her knees shaking with fear. She knew the consequences of Shadow Infinity very well. She was scared of her, and she had very good reason to be.
But this might be their only chance.
She shivered as she turned away from the ball and stared at one of the many moons of Kaioshin-kai. *I hope that I will not do anything that I will regret.*
*Dear universe, please let this work*, she quickly wished.
She brushed her blowing hair out of her face. This was it. Shadow Infinity would soon emerge again, and she would never be herself again. A crystalline tear fell from her eye. One single drop; the last one that she would ever shed.
She took a few deep breaths, then whispered the mere words that would change her into all that she fought against.
"Infinidad del bultos"
*~*~*~*~*
*....no......No......NO!!!!!*, the Dai Kaioshin's mind screamed as he realized what she was doing, "NO!!!!! DON'T DO IT INFINITY!!!!!"
However, he spoke much too late. He could feel her power growing, increasing at an abnormally fast rate. The winds were picking up and swirling around her, making her silvery locks blow crazily above her head.
Suddenly a black flame erupted around her, engulfing her small body. Her back arched and she grabbed her head as if in pain. Shin's eyes widened. He had never seen anything like this.
The strong wind seemed to whisper something quite inaudible to the normal ear, but yet you could hear it. There was some other presence there. Shin could feel it arise out of nowhere. Everyone could.
Infinity was soon pulled to her knees involuntarily. She clutched her head tightly and started to scream. The dark light immediately expanded immensely, blinding all who watched this event.
Dark shimmering smoke followed the large explosion. Everyone speedily got up onto their feet. Shin opened his eyes, trying to see her through the huge cloud of smog.
It started to dissipate ever so slowly. Shin could soon see the scene before him.
She stood there, facing the opposite way as the rest of them. Infinity looked the same down to about every last detail about her. However, she seemed to have a different aura about her. An evil one.
He could feel the evil within her. She did not make any attempt to hide it; she showed it off proudly.
Her arms slowly arose into the air and she lazily stretched a bit. Her neck made cracking noises as she rolled it from side to side.
She suddenly stops and a mirror appears in her hand. Infinity looks at herself and frowns from what Shin can see in the mirror. Suddenly her clothes and hair start to eerily glow.
When they stop, she is wearing an all black strapless gown and her silvery hair is up done quite fancily. She looks quite stunning, in a very odd type of way.
She looks into the mirror again and smirks. She then looks beyond it, making eye contact with Shin through the glass of the mirror. Her smirk increases.
She halfway turns towards them, her neck turning the rest of the way to face them. Infinity looked them all in the eyes.
*No, it is no longer her.*
"You are...........Shadow Infinity." Shin stated in a dangerously low voice.
Her silvery eyes glowed and widened. "That I am." She stated clearly in her whispery voice.
"And you, you have what I want", she continued, taking a slow step forward. "You have the keys to the universe Dai Kaioshin. Give them to me."
The look on her face told him that she meant business. His jaw dropped.
Goku interrupted the silent tension. "Aren't you going to defeat Majin Buu?!?"
She snapped her fingers. Goku suddenly laid against a large boulder, pinned there by large glass shards.
"Perhaps.........but which to do first?", she questioned herself.
She looked towards the crystal ball that laid abandoned on the ground. She watched Majin Buu for quite some time, staring at it in an entranced manner.
She looked towards the Supreme Kaio, then back at the ball again. It smashed under her intense eye, the magical glass going every which way.
"I shall kill Buu and then I shall come back and kill you." She stated, then disappeared into nothing.

*"Infinidad del bultos" is a rough Spanish translation for Infinity of the Shadows, otherwise known as Shadow Infinity.
Well, did you like it? Please review! Thanks a million! Well, sorry that that took so long to get out. I kept forgetting my Spanish/English dictionary at home. Finally I found this site where it translates English to Spanish, so that's how I got my words for this. I hope that you enjoyed it. I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. Ciao!
