An icy, cold wind blew through out the Sacred Realm and with it a darkness that could be felt by all.

"What's happening?" Raye asked as she searched the crystal cavern.

She felt a chill run down her spine. The dark energy now filling the room made her feel cold and uncomfortable. She looked around at the rest of her companions. Everyone else must have felt the same way as her because they all looked on edge.

Hikaru glanced at the enormous crystals that decorated the chamber. The dancing lights inside the prisms were gradually growing dimmer and the room steadily becoming darker.

"Is it just me or did the temperature in here just take a nose dive?" Umi shivered.

"No, I feel it, too." Fuu replied.

"What's causing it?" Umi asked, with chattering teeth.

"It's some kind of sorcery," Hikaru answered, "and whoever's causing it is extremely powerful."

They all glanced at the time guardian to confirm their conclusion. Kala's silver-colored eyes had narrowed and hardened. They all had heard her whisper the name Daisan. If this was the Daisan that Kala had been talking about they didn't know how they could begin to face such an enemy.

"So this is him." Sage said.

Rowan's dark blue bangs whipped across his face. His matching colored eyes searched the room for the source of the evil energy, but he couldn't pinpoint its origin. His senses told him that it was not of demonic origin, but dark magic. He assumed that this was the same evil that Kala and Utori had been telling them about. Rowan looked at his friends. They stood ready to face whatever would happen next.

Vegeta's actually relished the dark chill he felt. The mysterious power filling the room was amazingly strong. He noticed that the energy wasn't the same kind of ki energy that one would feel from a fighter. This ki was a mixture of many life forces and was somehow different. He had been anticipating facing such a dark power and steadily growing tired of the continuous talk of an all-powerful evil. Now he would finally see if for himself.

The wind circled around the room when suddenly a dark purple light exploded overhead. Everyone looked up and watched as the image of man formed. He wore an emotionless expression as he peered down at Kala, Utori, and the rest of the champions of fate. They all knew it was Daisan.

Fuu analyzed the man's face. She realized that the image was not Daisan himself, but a projection. The image was faint and flickered, but she could still make out some of his features. He had short black hair with auburn highlights. His demeanor was relaxed but his piercing dark eyes were clouded with anger. On furrowed brow was a dark triangle symbol similar to Kala's golden one. His outward appearance was young just like the time guardian and like Kala his eyes belong to that of an ancient soul. His skin was very fair and clear in complexion, but he did have a deep scar on his right cheek. A neatly cut goatee framed his mouth.

One might actually consider his look appealing in a dark, sort of rugged way. This made her think of Ferio for a moment. He was handsome in the same way, too. She thought back to the last time when she'd been alone with him. He had wrapped his arms around her waist with her looking up into his eyes. She placed one hand on the side of his face and brought up the tip of her other index finger to trace the scar across his nose….

"Umm, Fuu, why are you blushing?" Umi asked quietly.

Fuu jumped slightly as she was interrupted out of her thoughts.

"Huh? What? Um…I-I'm not Umi." Fuu stammered.

She quickly turned away from Umi.

Umi grinned. She stepped right in front of Fuu and peered into her face.

Fuu leaned back.

"Oh, my gosh! You are! You were checking out that Daisan guy!" Umi laughed.

Fuu's face turned a deeper shade of red.

"No, I am not! Fuu sputtered, "I have no idea what you are talking about!" She had to try hard to keep her voice from rising.

"Yes, you are. You're all flustered and you called me Umi. You never just call me Umi!" Umi said as she laughed harder.

"I wasn't thinking about him. I was thinking about Feri-." Fuu whispered back quickly. She covered her mouth as she caught herself.

Umi's eyes got wider and then she got a sly look on her face.

"Ahh, I see you were thinking about Ferio, but in what way were you thinking about him?" Umi pried.

Fuu crossed her arms over her chest slightly angry. Umi had never seen Fuu so flustered and continued to poke fun at her.

"Oh, Fuu, relax," Umi giggled, but continued in a teasing tone. "You dirty girl! I never knew about this side of you. You keep it hidden so well."

Fuu looked about ready to explode.

"You can't deny it, Fuu. Your nose is bleeding." Umi pointed out. (AN: Well, as many of you know, whenever an anime character has "impure" thoughts they get a nosebleed or this slight drop of blood hanging out their nose.)

Suddenly Fuu exploded. Her head and glasses got big as she yelled at Umi.

"I WAS NOT THINKING ABOUT HIM THAT WAY!" Fuu cried shrilly.

Fuu then realized what she had done and noticed that everyone was staring at her and Umi with wide eyes (AN: And, of course, the trademark sweat drop that we've all come to know and love). Fuu quickly shrunk back down to size. Both her and Umi immediately developed sweat drops themselves.

"I don't know. He's not all that handsome if you ask me." Lita replied. She'd obviously overheard some of the commotion between the two magic knights.

She placed her hands behind her head as she leaned back to check out Daisan.

"Yeah, he frowns way too much. He looks like Mr. Congeniality over there." Mina added and then nodded over to Vegeta.

"No, this fellow here is much more appealing to look at." Ami replied simply.

"Well, at least this guy combs his hair." Serena commented

Hamara let out a breath of air at all of the irrelevant chatter.

Hikaru turned and looked at her two friends quizzically.

"Hey, you guys. What are you doing?" Hikaru asked disapprovingly.

Umi quickly relented from making any further comments, but held in her sputtering laughter. She looked at Fuu out the corner of eye. Fuu's face was still red with embarrassment.

Everyone else in the room turned away from the commotion between the two magic knights and back toward the evil looking man.

At that moment, Vegeta became self-conscious and noticed that everyone was staring at him.

"What the hell are all of you staring at me for!" he yelled.

"Oops, wrong evil villain." Krillin laughed.

"Idiots." Vegeta mumbled.

"So much for my grand entrance." Daisan replied, "I suppose we should get down to business."

"I'm surprised it took you this long to show up, Daisan. I've been anticipating a visit from you." Kala said addressing him.

"Hmm… I must admit, Kala. You've gotten stronger. Strong enough even to block my entry into the sacred realm. At least my physical form but not my astral form." Daisan complimented.

"How did you manage such a feat?" he questioned. His voice was as smooth as silk.

"I casted a barrier spell with the Astro dust from the shattered Chrono Prism." Kala answered just as smoothly. "You already defiled this place once. I wasn't about to let you do it again."

"A wasted effort." Daisan responded in a rigid tone, " As soon as I am able to possess one of the mystic gems of time, your barrier spell will cease to be effective."

"Which won't ever happen since you'll never get the gems." Kala replied.

Daisan's silhouette chuckled and then turned in Utori's direction.

"This must be Utori. You were able to escape my three warriors. It was very clever of you to freeze time. It takes great strength to pull off that kind of a spell. I imagine Kala taught you that little trick." Daisan replied.

Utori did not answer and glared back at the sorcerer.

"Such lovely eyes," Daisan replied as he stared into her honey-golden eyes. They were fierce and uncompromising.

Utori watched as his eyes began to trace further along her body.

"And so much potential." he continued in the same black tone. Except now she could detect a trace of wantonness.

She cut her eyes and turned her head. "Oh, god. Are you always so revolting?" she asked disgusted.

Daisan smirked and continued to stare at her.

"Must you broadcast your thoughts," she said coldly, "Besides I would rather die first."

Daisan had not bother to mask some rather unappealing mental images.

"All in good time." Daisan responded darkly.

Daisan then looked down at the small legion of warriors below.

"The Champions of Fate. So those pathetic creatures are them?" Daisan scoffed as he turned back to Kala. "They're not even a challenge to me. I was expecting more."

Daisan did not give Kala a chance to respond back and addressed the band of fighters directly.

"I'm sure Kala has told you about the gems of time, and what will happen once I am able to possess them."

"She has." Ryo spoke coldly, "We watched what you did to your own world and none of us will let you do that ours."

"Or any others." Hikaru replied angrily.

"This is as far you go." Gohan said with disgust.

"It ends here with us." Serena added.

"Because we're going to stop you." Lita concluded.

(AN: Sorry! Sorry! Superhero banter makes me cringe. I hate writing that kind of stuff, but the characters just wouldn't be the same without it. You, Sailor Moon fans, know especially what I'm talking about! But hey it wasn't that bad right?)

Daisan made a look of boredom.

"Spare me the pathetic speeches. The reality of the situation is that all of you are no match for the power that I possess." Daisan said, scornfully.

Kinto made a face and stuck out his tongue. "Oh, man and you were talking about us. You're so cliché. You should hear yourself, pal."

"Yeah," Sai laughed. "I bet next he'll break out with his evil and diabolical plan."

"All of a sudden the boogie man shows up and we're suppose to quiver in fear. In case you haven't noticed, nobody here is running." Kinto taunted slyly.

All the while Daisan's body began to surge with power. Suddenly the same dark magneta energy from earlier erupted through out the room. Bolts of energy showered the room. The warriors were caught off guard by the magician's sudden explosion of power. A dark bolt headed in each of the four platforms' direction. They all cried out as they were caught in the energy wave. They fell to their knees in pain and struggled to stand up.

"Thanks…a lot, Kinto." Rowan groaned.

Kinto looked up angrily at Daisan.

"I don't think you have any idea who you're messing with." Kinto remarked and the leapt into the air. He raised his fist and prepared to make contact with Daisan's scowling face. He was blown back with a blast of energy.

"Man, that guy talks to much for his own good." Krillin said referring to Kinto.

"Kala, what's up with that barrier spell?" Trunks asked.

"I don't think its helping all that much" Yamcha grunted as he brought himself up and helped Tien to his feet.

All of the humor and playfulness had immediately left the room and the warriors listened to the hatred and anger in Daisan's voice. It was as though a floodgate had suddenly released his rage.

"Fools, do not forget whom you are speaking to!" the magician flared, angrily. "That was only a fraction of my power! You should thank your guardian. If wasn't for her barrier spell to block most of my powers you'd all be dead."

The warriors all glared up at Daisan.

"Believe me when I say nothing you ever do will matter. You can relate to that. Can't you, Kala? You watched all of Elo die and even that old fool, Taran," he continued.

Kala stiffened. Her tightly balled her fist trembled in anger. Daisan smiled evilly in her direction.

"And even though Taran fought me, he too knew that it was pointless."

"I had the visions, Daisan. I knew about all of the events leading up to this moment, but I also know that Fate has given us a way to stop you." Kala responded.

Daisan laughed.

"You're not the only one that had visions, Kala," he countered.

Kala could not hide her surprise.

"Yes, I had them, too. I've always known that this was my destiny. You want to know why you can't see the future anymore? That's because there is no future for any of you. The future will be whatever I make it." Daisan said in a deadly tone.

All of the champions were thrown back by the sinister man's statement.

Kala let out a breath of air. She decided to change tactics and began to try to reason with Daisan.

"Daisan, if you take the Chrono Prism you will not be able to control it. You will not only kill everything in existence, but yourself as well… I can sense that you are strong. You wield the Asa stone and its powers more expertly, but its power drains on your own. As time goes by it takes more and more energy to control its power."

"You're wrong, Kala. The Asa stone feeds and empowers me. It has allowed me to reach new levels. Once I've absorbed enough energy I'll be able to control the Chrono Prism." Daisan replied.

"Daisan listen to-" Kala said calmly.

"No!" Daisan erupted angrily. She was talking to him in the same self-righteous tone that she had used before when she sealed him in the dark void. It was also the same tone of voice that Taran had use with him many times before as a child.

"How dare you talk to me like some infant? I am fully aware of what I am doing and your pleas of reason sound more like pathetic whimpering to me. I originally intended to come here to destroy you and your champions…but once again you have only delayed the inevitable. You think that you'll be able to send your champions to find the gems. I guarantee you that they won't even get the chance."

As Daisan continued to speak his body began to glow and its light filled the entire room.

"As for the rest of you… I wouldn't be too hasty to embark on any long journeys away from home. You might just find yourselves homeless."

The warriors glared at Daisan.

Daisan gave one more look at Kala.

"You can explain to them what that feels like, too, Kala."

Kala gripped her staff harder.

"And don't think I've forgotten about what you did to me… The next time we meet it will be here for the final battle. I will possess the Chrono Prism in its entirety and I'll make you die an agonizing death a thousand times more painful then Taran ever felt."

And with that final statement Daisan was gone and his presence could no longer be felt in the room.
