Chapter 8: The Angel

Goten looked at the Judgment with intensity in his eyes. His top priority is to take him out. Easier said then done. 'How could she do this to me? She worked for this creep whose in front of me. I don't understand.'

Judgment peered into his mind and amused himself on these thoughts. Everyone at the mall evacuated, all except for 3 people: Pan, Trunks, and Taki. Pan glared at Taki, for hurting her uncle. However, Taki didn't return it. She knew she deserves every ounce of disrespect, considering on what happened. Judgment laughed at what everyone's thinking. He laughed at Goten the most, because he had the worst thoughts of all. (What's the matter Goten? Having thoughts of confusion and despair?)

Goten glared at Judgment and yelled out in anger "Get out of my head!!!" He charged at the demon, who laughed. (You're pathetic. You're rage has blinded you deeply. You have no hope in defeating me. Face it, I'm going to kill every single one of you ad get my crystal!)

"Shut up!!!" Goten said as he threw a punch at Judgment. Judgment read it as he dodged it and kicked Goten straight in the stomach. Goten was thrown back by the force.

"Enough playing around. I have a universe to remake. You can't stop me, none of you can! These wings of mine have been closed for a long time. I think I need to stretch them." Judgment said as he grew irritated. His wings started to stretch out.

Taki shouted out, "Goten! Look out! He's about to-"

Goten interrupted Taki and yelled back, "I don't need you're help! You betrayed me! Why should I even listen to you?!"

Judgment smirked and shouted out, "Because you need all the help you can get!!!" His wings where finally stretched out. The demonic bat wings started glowing. "Time to die!! Wings of Darkness!!!" His wings shot out twelve blasts of dark energy. Goten tried to fly away, but the energy blasts locked on to him. "Stay still!!" Judgment said as he used his telepathic powers immobilized him quickly.

"What the he-!" but before Goten could finish it, he was hit with all twelve.

"Uncle!!!" Pan cried out. Trunks closed his eyes, while Taki started weeping. Suddenly, her eyes turned red.

Goten should've fallen, but Judgment used his psychic powers to keep him afloat. He brought the half dead Goten towards him and said, "There's a reason why you could never win Goten. You're blinded by you're rage. Not only that, but I feed off of negative energy, so unless you have a clear mind and soul, you could never win. Well, time for the Coup de Grace." Judgment tossed Goten in the air, ready to shoot him. That is until something unexpected happen.

Taki gave Judgment a grade A boot to the face. Everyone, especially Judgment, was shocked. Judgment flew and crashed in the parking lot, while Taki caught Goten. She flew down to where Pan and trunks were, and set Goten down on the ground. Goten had blood coming down from his lip ad his forehead. He smiled weakly and asked her "Why, why did you help me?"

"Because, I love you. I'm so sorry Goten. Please forgive me." Taki said with tears coming down from her eyes. Taki then felt a surge of energy, turned around only to saw Judgment. He grabbed her by the neck.

"You're were such a good agent too. You were the only one to survive the process of the immortal shadow. Too bad though, cause you're dead meat." He said as he squeezed tighter. Taki gasped for air, but she couldn't. The grip was too tight. Suddenly, Pan kicked Judgment, which forced him to let go. He grabbed his stomach. "How did you get so strong?!"

"Because, I finally understand now. I have the power, and you know it." Pan replied. Suddenly, Judgment realized that she was exploiting the power of the crystal. The light side to say the least. Since he himself was pure dark, light has the capability to cause harm to darkness, and vice-versa. Pan quickly gave Judgment a 6 punch combo, then sent him off with one more kick.

The force of the kick sent him crashing through the walls, in which he got back up and retaliated. He warped in front of Pan and rapidly attack her. His flurry of punches and kicks seemed to do the job, only for her to power up. It sent him back, in which Pan shot an energy blast at him. A strong one, to say the least. It hit Judgment with full force, damaging him. Judgment glared at Pan as he shouted "Chaos Pulse!!" He shot the blast, in which Pan held her hands out and started blocking the blast. It pushed her back, but she was successfully handling it.

"I grow tired of this." Judgment said as he used a mind bolt on Pan. A powerful surge hit Pan in the nervous system, which is enough to make anyone cry in pain. She lost all concentration, and got hit with Chaos Pulse. "Pan!!!" Trunks yelled." He flew to help Pan only to get pinned down by Judgments Psychic powers. "Oh man! Not again!" he moaned.

Judgment looked at the now wounded Pan. She was down on the ground, out cold. "Now, my power will be restored." He said as he picked her up. "This will hurt only for a second." A shame the second won't come, as Taki interrupts him, yet again. She blasted Judgment from behind. Judgment was now pissed off. He dropped Pan on the ground. "You insolent little wench. How dare you!? I was the one who gave you immortality. I was the one who helped you out. You still won't let me finish my prey. Now you're going to get it!" Judgment then felt forces coming where they are now. Surely by now, Goku and the rest of the gang have sensed him. "No more interruptions!!!!!" he yelled out in anger. His wings spread and casted a dark force. It created a parallel dimension, where everything not what it seems. It has the same scenery, but it was more darker and twisted. Time stops in the regular world while there in this darker realm. "Welcome, to oblivion, the first stage!"

The only ones not frozen were Pan, Taki, Goten, and Trunks. Taki looked at Judgment and said, "I may not be strong enough to beat you, but I can give them all the time they need."

"What time?! They're all going to die anyway." Judgment launched the attack first. Goten regained enough strength to watch them fight. Pan was waking up from that nasty blast as well. They looked onwards as Taki and Judgment were performing several rapid attacks from each other. They exchange blow for blow, hit for hit, and kick for kick. This one was a good one indeed. They both knocked each other back and fired energy blasts. The two collided, causing an explosion.

But the two wouldn't give up. They flew up in the air shooting each other senseless. It was no longer a fight. It was war. The reason why Taki is doing s well is because of her connection with Judgment. She could anticipate his moves. They continued until Judgment got tired of it. "I have bigger fish to fry!!" He said as he used the cheapest move in his arsenal. His Mind Bolts.

Taki just grabbed her head in pain, when Judgment unleashed it. Then he warped in front of her and kicked her down to the ground. "Taki!!!" Goten yelled. She stood up, only to fall down. She had no more energy to give.

"I'm through with this altercation!! It's time to kill all of you!!" Judgment put his hands together. Dark energy swirled around in between the. He shot what appeared to be a huge bomb, similar to the spirit bomb. This attack is known as Chaos Bomb.

Everyone thought the same thing: it's over. However, The bomb stopped in its place. "What's happening?!" Judgment demanded. It suddenly disappeared. "How can this be?!"

"Simple. I sent it into oblivion, Final stage."

"You!! Why do you torment me?!"

Kain appeared in front of everyone and said, "Cause it's my job."

Pan started getting up, but she fell Kain looked at her and said "Don't get up. You need to save your strength."

"Why didn't you come sooner?" she asked.

"Sorry. I was a little bit late. Besides, you don't think I'll forget about you, do you? Cause I'm not letting you down."

Pan blushed. It's as if the brash boy she knew wasn't there. Kain has multi personalities. He now saw him as a sweet boy who will help them. A guardian angel.

Judgment looked at Kain and asked, "So, why are you late?"

Kain glared at Judgment an said, "Because, I needed to talk to the Guardian of the Original Plain."

"What??!!!"

"That's right freak. She granted me my wings back.

"NO!!"

Kain took off his cape on his armor. He threw it over to Pan said, "Hold this for me." He started gathering energy, pure light energy. He hunched over, and light surrounded him. He screamed as it over takes him, creating a lot of wind and force. After the blinding light passed, stood Kain. Only, he wasn't the same. He had wings, white angel wings, in which he spread out his wings. It was a breathtaking, magnificent sight.

Kain looked at Judgment, who looked in disbelief. Kain said, "Get ready to go back to oblivion, and this time, you're not coming out. He charged at him. Judgment shot his biggest Chaos Pulse yet, which was stopped by Kain. He took the blast and redirected back to Judgment. Not only did he do that, but he also shot his Light Force Blitz along with the blast. If Pan and everybody else hadn't weakened him, he could've defended himself. But the 2 beams hit him, causing a huge explosion. Judgment screamed in pain as he was being torn by the blast. He teleported before the blast could completely destroy him.

Kain landed, as his wings disappeared into feathers. He ran over towards them and he says, "Hold on everyone. There's someone I'd like you to meet." He grabbed his cape hooked it back on his armor, and light surrounded all of them. Before anyone could ask what's going on, they all vanished.

Well. That's the end of chapter 8. What's happened here? How did kain get so much power, and who's the guardian of the original plane? Stay tuned to find these answers in chapter 9: The Guardian
