Time Can Only Tell
By: Ponytail Goddess
Chapter 17: Lost Soul
It was spinning. Twirling and whirling but never stopping. Why wouldn't it stop for a while? Infinity felt so very dizzy.
Somehow she managed to peel open her eyes. All she could see was a colorful glare as she reeled around and around in the unknown place. Feeling sick, she shut her eyes again and succumbed to the endless spinning.
*So this is limbo*
She had a feeling that she would end up here eventually. Somewhere in between dying and living; some odd place between heaven and hell. Just somewhere.
And she went around. And around.
*I wish this spinning would stop*
She tried to stand up, only to start sinking into nothingness. She knew she was floating, but yet she felt as if she were falling as well.
*I hate it here already. I wish I was a normal person so that I would go to one place or another. Anywhere but here.........*
Sooner or later she found that she was drifting off into sleep. A rather deep sleep in fact. Infinity knew what that meant. A premonition was coming.
*But.........how? What more could be in my future?* She wondered as she drifted off into the Majikxcian dream of future things.
*~*~*~*~*
There she was. Infinity was standing somewhere; she couldn't exactly make out where she was standing, but she just knew that she was.
Something peculiar was in her arms. Something heavy but delicate. Something.........brown? Was that what color that was? Infinity couldn't really tell. Nor could she tell what she was holding. She just was doing so.
And then it was gone as quickly as it had come.
Infinity blinked her eyes, then quickly shut them again as she was blinded by the multicolored glare. She was now back in limbo, as she had been before she had drifted off.
It was still rotating as well. Around and around she went, thinking as best as she could in her new environment.
*Why did I have a future sight here and why was it so blurry?*
Well, perhaps the blurriness was due to her spinning around and around constantly, but that didn't explain having the vision in the first place. She was DEAD!!! How could she go anywhere from where she was right now?
She pondered it and pondered it for hours on end as she spun wildly. Eventually she was certain that she would figure the whole thing out.
*Well, I certainly have plenty of time to do so* She thought as she eternally spun and spun.
*~*~*~*~*
The Dai Kaioshin sat there staring off into nothingness. Everyone else had left to go and find the Dragon Balls. Even Goku and Vegeta. Somehow they were now living as well. It surely had something to do with all of the positive energy that Infinity had let off after that blast.
*They live while she died. How is that fair?*
They thought the Dragon Balls were the answer. Infinity could not be brought back by them though because she died of a natural cause, her own power overload. She was not coming back.
*She came back only to leave me again.*
The people of hell were now going about their business again as if nothing had happened. Kaioshin watched them in a lonely sense.
Grief was overcoming him. He fell to his knees and stared at the ground as he tried to gain control of his watering eyes. He was not supposed to get attached to people, but here he had done it again.
*You'd think I would have learned my lesson the first time around.*
"Sir", came a deep voice from behind.
Kibito.
Shin turned to see his giant bodyguard behind him. He mustered out a smile somehow and tried to hide everything that was going through his mind. "Yes Kibito?"
"Our mission here is done. We need to go up to Earth to thank the Z fighters for their help and wish them well."
Shin sighed, not really wanting to see them. They were a reminder of Infinity. "I suppose", he replied without enthusiasm.
"Kai-kai"
*~*~*~*~*
Choose
*I don't understand*
Infinity felt her hands gliding upon something solid amidst limbo's craziness. A door. No, two doors. She tried to open her eyes and look at them, but she could not because of the bright lights.
Choose your fate
What was that voice? It seemed to come from all around but yet it wasn't heard at all. She just knew what it was saying. But the thoughts coming to her seemed to engulf her mind in an odd way. Though Infinity knew of many mind tricks, she had never heard of this one or experienced it up until this point.
But what exactly was 'it'? Could she trust 'it'?
*But I have been brought here because I died. I must stay here for eternity!*
No, time would not have let you come upon these doors unless you were meant to. Now choose.
Time? What did time have to do with this?
*Time? Are you time?*
Yes.
Time was a thing? This was rather intriguing to Infinity. She did not know much of time. However, the thought was soon dropped as she remembered the decision that Time was asking of her.
*What is behind each door?*
I cannot tell you.
*Do you know which door I shall take?*
Yes, I do.
*Which one?*
I cannot tell you.
Infinity sighted. The trick had been worth a shot. Now, however, she had to decide. She placed one hand on one doorknob and the other on the other. She could feel an odd energy radiating off of both of them.
*Which one.........which one..........*
Everyone chooses the fate that is correct for them.
*What if I don't?*
You will. Now choose.
Infinity shivered, panicking as Time got impatient. Which door?!? Cold sweat ran down her forehead as she finally decided upon the left door.
*So you say I shall choose the right one?*
Yes.
Upon hearing this, Infinity started to turn the left handle, using all of her confidence and strength to do so. It just had to be the right door........
If flung open and-
