Chapter 28: The Battle Within
"Daricus we have recovered the Oracles." A female's voice said quietly.
"And the Priest?"
"He's unconscious in the ship although we know that we only have to crank the side of the Oracle to unleash the beast so he is of no further use to us Master."
"Excellent go to Namek and wish them open, then wish for you and the complete contents of the boxes to be teleported back to the Kingdom. Should the Priest present a problem kill him. Oh what the Heck kill him before you leave he'll probably just slow you down." Daricus answered in dark excitedness.
"As you command Master." She responded.
"Oh and Karanas. I'm ever so glad you decided to join me after all." He started laughing maniacally. The woman bowed and left the room. "Hm hm hm... Soon it ends... I have the Key and every being of evil intent in the universe but one. Soon all the pieces will be in place and when I slaughter the Key on the Alter, her power will become mine and I shall rule the Grand Army and the Ancients! Then not only will Nanakia fear my name but every world in every universe in every dimension!" He laughed maniacally again.
"Come give me the Oracles." Karanas demanded reaching out toward two alien workers.
"Why should we trust you with the Master's Oracles?" One hissed. Karanas entered the ship and tossed out a short, ugly, wrinkled, pink creature. Then blasted the three weaklings away and snatched up the Oracles before they hit the ground.
"Because I can crush you." She said annoyed as she boarded the ship. "I wish I knew just how strong this thing is." She said gently setting the Oracles in the seat beside her. "Everyday a new adventure, everyday a new song. Everyday a new day to try to find where I belong." She sang quietly as she blasted off for New Namek.
She stepped out onto the grassy plain and looked around. In front of her was a cave that looked familiar. She squinted as she looked at it trying to remember where she had seen it before. Then deciding it was a waste of time walked up into the cave. She stood in shock to see herself, in a tank, in front of her. She rubbed her fingers over the glassy window. A tear rolled down her cheek as years of struggle and pain flooded into her mind. "I wish... I wish I could go back to being like that... When things were simple. Simple in silence and sleep." She said wiping the tear away. "But now I am the strongest living being in the universe and I'm full of evil. But evil is not what I am... I'm not sure what I am anymore." She regained composure, wiped the tears from her eyes and left the cave. She gazed out over the plain and tried to get a bearing of the direction the little Namekians had taken her years in the future. "Hmm... Seems odd to say that now." She thought to herself as she took to the air.
"Halt who are you." A familiar voice rang out as she landed on the tower of the Eldest Namek. It was looked like Heroli but he didn't possess the same ki. His father perhaps Kaykora thought to herself as she bowed to him.
"I seek the Elder's permission to seek the Dragonballs." Karanas called out into the doorway.
"One moment." The voice disappeared. "Sir if I may she possesses a strong evil energy."
"Yes... But she intrigues me. Look past all of that and look into her heart Haroli. It is pure. I believe it is this purity maybe what drives her and for that reason I will see her." The Elder replied.
"As you wish Sir." Haroli said bowing and backing away. "The Elder will see you now."
"So you seek the Dragonballs."
"Yes Sir I do."
"For what reason do you seek them?" The Elder asked with minimal intrigue.
"I'm going to be completely honest with you Great Elder. In a little over 100 years I will awake from a tank in a cave and I will come seeking information about who I am and where I was going before crashing here. The journey, which you will help me embark on, will take to many places including the bowels of Hell itself. I stand before you today returned from those bowels a different person but with the same goal. I seek the Dragonballs in order to unleash a beast that I hope to absorb into my own body in order to keep it from being destroyed. You see if it's destroyed then my Master will gain all of its negative energy and then will be able to take over the Universe." Karanas said bluntly. "So either you help me or I go to Earth and use the Dragonballs and let the beast roam around and destroy it for a year before I gain enough wishes to do what I have to do."
"Go and make haste child. Find the Dragonballs and do what you must. The evil may have consumed your body but your heart is more pure than many that I have seen. I wish you luck and blessing." The Elder said nodding.
"ELDER! With all due respect she's just admitted she's going to unleash a demon! And she claims she's from the future! You can't honestly believe her sincerity!" Haroli objected.
"If it will soothe your doubtfully mind, Heroli will go on to train with the strongest Namek in the universe on the planet Earth and will go on to be one of the greatest guardians of peace it will ever know. He will fight in epic battles that shall decide the fate of us all. And he will do it with me." Karanas said getting up. "He will do things that if you only knew, would make you vastly proud of him."
"How do you know about Heroli? He... He's just he's... not..." Haroli stammered.
"I am who I claim and I will do what I vowed to do." Karanas said reaching a hand out to the side. A Dragonball floated to her and she took it in one hand. "I never break a promise as a promise has never been broken against me. And I promised to do my best to live up to the Ancient Namekian prophecy of protecting you from a great evil and by Beolinka I will do it." She said solemnly walking out.
Haroli turned around stunned and watched as she hopped over the side and disappeared. "Maybe, just maybe you will. I hope so, I hope Heroli lives to do what you said." Haroli whispered before turning and tending to the Elder.
Karanas stood in the middle of the field and made sure she couldn't sense a power for miles before she began summoning the Dragon Purunga. She had learned a little Namek from Heroli in their years together. It was enough to summon the Dragon and tell it what she wanted.
"Great Purunga! I wish for you to open these Oracles then teleport myself and the contents of the Oracles to one of the planets of the Kingdom of Archenakia!" She called out in Namekian to the Dragon before her.
"Is that all?" The Dragon boomed out.
"Yes. I give the third wish to the Namekians to use as they see fit."
"Very well your wishes shall be granted." The Dragon responded. The Oracles started to crank and play an eerie melody in unison. Before it could finish, a brilliant flash blinded Karanas and when she regained sight, she was on a plain outside of the Capital city.
"What have you done!" A voice called out in horror. Karanas turned to see a small and a larger yellow tinted creatures with pinkish mohawks standing behind her.
"I have released Hildegarn in order to keep him from being destroyed. Should he be destroyed, my Master will become too powerful to stop. I have released him now, by myself because if I didn't my Master would have. Please trust me Tapion." She said calmly.
"Why should we trust you?" The small one chirped.
"Because I have seen this all before. I know what I must do." She said with a smile. "Only this time around I'm making sure you live." With that she flew up and knocked them both unconscious. "Now I just have to wait for Hildegarn to break free." She turned and flew off to the Palace.
"AAAAHHH WHAT IS THAT!" Goku shouted flying up from his nap. "That evil aura! It's so powerful!" He ran out of the room only to meet everyone else gathering outside to meet the evil presence.
"Is it The Ultimate evil?" Bulma asked fearfully.
"I thought it would much much stronger than this." Naros said.
"Come meet me in the field east of the city." A voice rang in their head. "I don't want a fight." Not knowing what else to do, they took to the air and headed east. They saw a girl waiting for them with long blood red hair and black armor on with baggy black gi pants.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Vegeta called out suspiciously.
"You know who I am, just not like this." A voice laced with evil said turning. Dark piercing eyes met them that rang with a familiarness.
"You didn't answer the question." Vegeta snapped.
"Well Father my name NOW is Karanas." She said with a half smirk. "And I'm here to warn you all to stay out of my way. You see in a short time a huge evil creature is going to appear in the south. When it does, it's mine leave it to me."
"Kaykora, no it can't be!" Naros shouted running towards her. She held up and hand and blasted him back.
"She's not Kaykora anymore, now she's Karanas." Goku said helping him up.
"In her heart... Her heart is pure I can feel it." Naros objected.
"Yes but we have to get it out Naros. I just don't think all of us put together could take her now..." Bardock said worried. A great roar went up behind them and Karanas disappeared.
"The beast." Vegeta said quietly as they turned to see a huge beast making it's away toward the Capital.
"Wake up Tapion I'm going to need you and your brother's help." She said grabbing them up taking to the air.
"What... What are you doing?" Tapion said looking around.
"I need you to play and immobilize Hildegarn while I do what I have to do." She said bluntly setting them down near where Hildegarn was standing grabbing up people with the end of his tail and absorbing them. They started to play the melancholy melody that had come from the Oracles. "HILDEGARN!" She called out. "It is I who freed you and it is I you shall listen to!" Hildegarn roared and swatted her away with one giant hand.
"She has no idea what she's done!" Tapion shouted running towards Hildegarn.
"PLAY FOOL!" Karanas shouted flying over his head. He played and she transformed to level 2. "Don't make this harder than it has to be." She said with a playful streak.But he grabbed her and squeezed her until she detransformed then tossed her away like a piece of trash.
"What is that thing?!" Goten shouted as they landed and watched Goku and Vegeta take on the beast.
"It is Hildegarn, ancient menace of the southern quadrant." A voice said coming up and placing a hand on Trunks's shoulder. "It was long trapped within our bodies but some girl opened up the Oracles we were enclosed in and released him by weakening us."
"Kaykora, what have you become?" Trunks said forlorn.
"What are you talking about?" The younger creature asked.
"She was kidnapped a few months ago and disappeared without a trace. We tried everything we could to sense her ki to find her but we couldn't. Now she's back but she's evil. She works for Daricus now." Goten responded sadly. "She was like our big sister and now she wants to kill us." Goku went flying over their heads and crashed into a building. Vegeta went flying in another direction.
"Dad!" They shouted in unison and took off towards their fathers. Gohan went next but even his Mystic form was to weak to do any real damage to Hildegarn.
"Tapion we have to do something!" The little creature yelled.
"There's nothing we can do now. Hildegarn must be getting power this Daricus whoever he may be because he's far stronger than when we battled him 1,000 years ago. All we can do is play and hope for the best. This girl who freed him and hoped to trap him was a fool. Only pure good can subdue pure evil." Tapion responded. He and his brother ran closer and started to play.
"Only pure good can subdue pure evil..." The words rang in her head over and over again. "I am not evil." She thought at last. "I can not maintain this charade, it's to dangerous." She focused hard on the pure energy in her heart and let it spread through her body. As she did, she began floating up into the air uncontrollably.
"Huh?" Tapion said as he stopped playing and looked over at Karanas. "She... She's purifying herself?" He asked confused as a bright blue beam shot out of her chest.
She set her feet on the ground and looked on at the huge creature she had spawned. "I will not lose and I will not let your energy go to him! KAYKORA'S BACK!!!" She screamed powering up to level three. "And it's MY turn..." She shot into the air crushing the ground she had been standing on. She rammed straight into Hildegarn and knocked him completely over. "HEO LONO CARU!" She screamed blasting him. The Strength of the blast drained her and caused her to slip out of her level three form.
"Kaykora... She's so powerful now... But how did she do it? How did she purify all of that evil energy in her body?" Naros shook his head in disbelief.
Kaykora floated to the ground. "Tapion play now channel the energy of the Gods to give me strength to do this." A voice said to his mind.
"Right." He started to play and his brother joined in.
"Strong and brave. I stand on the field of battle. I face down death and laugh in its face. I may meet it today but I shall not fall. I will rise and be born again better than before. For I shall never fall at the hands of an enemy. Purity, strength, and unity my virtues. And I will follow them to the end. And I will never fall at the hands of my enemy." She sang quietly but its words infiltrated the mind of every living thing on the planet.
"What a sad song." Goten said quietly as he held his dad up.
"It's the mournful song of the warrior. Thousands of years ago our races would sing it as they went into battle. It is the extension of the lullaby they had all heard as a child." Naros said in a serious tone.
"Lullaby? You mean the one she would always sing Trunks when he was little?" Vegeta winced as he spoke. Naros nodded. "Why the Hell is she singing?"
"I don't know..." But they would soon find out as little green things started flying passed them.
"What are those?" Trunks said as one stopped in front of him and winked then flew on.
"I have no clue... AAHHH..." One hit Naros in the arm and became absorbed by him. "Ahhh... That's strange... I feel stronger?" A large number had gathered around Goku and Vegeta and were flying around them Vegeta looked at them warily when suddenly they flew into him. His wounds healed and he felt instantly stronger than he ever had before in his current form. They did likewise to Goku who laughed as they did so.
"Boy what's going on here?" Vegeta said returning his gaze to his daughter that was now completely engulfed in these green energy things.
"I have no idea..." Slowly the green things started to disappear into Kaykora just as a pissed off Hildegarn started making its way to the two musicians. Kaykora disappeared and re-appeared with them just feet in front of the Saiyans.
"Keep playing this will be over soon." She said before disappearing. She re-appeared in front of Hildegarn and held out her hands. She said something in a language none of them recognized and the creature stopped its advance. Not only that but it tried to retreat; however, Kaykora had frozen it in place somehow. Black vortexes started coming out of the beast and moved towards her hands. As they did Hildegarn screamed out in pain.
"Only pure good can subdue pure evil..." Tapion said as he stopped playing. "The green things were pure good energy! They were giving her the amount of energy she needed to purify all of Hildegarn's evil!"
"PLAY TAPION PLAY!" Kaykora screamed as Hildegarn started sucking its energy back. He instantly started playing again and she regained control. But something was going wrong, she began trembling violently and dark sparks came off of her.
"She's losing control the energy is to much." Naros breathed. Everyone looked on with worried expressions.
"I WILL NOT LET HIM WIN!" Kaykora screamed transforming to level one. The energy poured into her faster now and she had regained control of the energy coming into her. Her golden aura cracked and sizzled in the evening air.
"Come on Kaykora, we know you can do it." Bulma said quietly as she, Chichi, and Videl looked on from the palace balcony. Hildegarn slowly started turning to stone as his energy left him.
"What's happening to him?" Goku asked puzzled.
"Hildegarn was created from a huge statue, without the evil energy that gives him life he is returning to what he once was." Tapion said pausing only long enough to say that.
"Then it's working!" Goku said happily.
"I'm not so sure Kakkorot it looks like she's losing control again..." Vegeta said pointing to her. She had begun shaking again and dark sparks were rising from her. And again she transformed going to the next level in order to maintain the stream of energy coming into her body.
"She can do it Vegeta, have faith in your daughter. She's stronger than you give her credit for." Goku said putting a comforting hand on his back. Vegeta nodded.
"You CAN do it Kaykora. I know you can." Naros thought as he gritted his teeth. "I'm here to back you up if you need it. I always will."
---------- ---------- ----------
"WHAT IS SHE DOING?! HOW COULD SHE TURN ON ME LIKE THAT!!! IT"S IMPOSSIBLE AFTER ALL THE ENERGY I PUMPED INTO HER!!!" Daricus screamed looking into his orb.
"You underestimate the power of her will to do what she set out to do." A female voice smirked.
"You shut up Masikle. I did not bring you back to this time to belittle me. I could kill you now if I desired but I love your pretty face to much." Daricus said sternly.
"Whatever you say chief." Masikle said absentmindedly. "Just let us know when it's our turn." She walked away and motioned for her sister Casica to follow. "We shall make Goshiya pay for her insubordinate behavior." She laughed a minute. "I can't believe she even changed her name to distance herself from us. But that's well enough it won't matter when we're done with her!"
"Masikle!" Daricus called out. "Know this foolish girl, it is I that gave you power all along. And it is I that you bow down to now. Never forget that. Now go, as soon as the Key has absorbed Hildegarn's energy claim her and we shall go and open The Gate the you two shall see what real power is." Daricus gave an evil smile her way.
"Yes Master." Masikle said returning the smile.
"Daricus we have recovered the Oracles." A female's voice said quietly.
"And the Priest?"
"He's unconscious in the ship although we know that we only have to crank the side of the Oracle to unleash the beast so he is of no further use to us Master."
"Excellent go to Namek and wish them open, then wish for you and the complete contents of the boxes to be teleported back to the Kingdom. Should the Priest present a problem kill him. Oh what the Heck kill him before you leave he'll probably just slow you down." Daricus answered in dark excitedness.
"As you command Master." She responded.
"Oh and Karanas. I'm ever so glad you decided to join me after all." He started laughing maniacally. The woman bowed and left the room. "Hm hm hm... Soon it ends... I have the Key and every being of evil intent in the universe but one. Soon all the pieces will be in place and when I slaughter the Key on the Alter, her power will become mine and I shall rule the Grand Army and the Ancients! Then not only will Nanakia fear my name but every world in every universe in every dimension!" He laughed maniacally again.
"Come give me the Oracles." Karanas demanded reaching out toward two alien workers.
"Why should we trust you with the Master's Oracles?" One hissed. Karanas entered the ship and tossed out a short, ugly, wrinkled, pink creature. Then blasted the three weaklings away and snatched up the Oracles before they hit the ground.
"Because I can crush you." She said annoyed as she boarded the ship. "I wish I knew just how strong this thing is." She said gently setting the Oracles in the seat beside her. "Everyday a new adventure, everyday a new song. Everyday a new day to try to find where I belong." She sang quietly as she blasted off for New Namek.
She stepped out onto the grassy plain and looked around. In front of her was a cave that looked familiar. She squinted as she looked at it trying to remember where she had seen it before. Then deciding it was a waste of time walked up into the cave. She stood in shock to see herself, in a tank, in front of her. She rubbed her fingers over the glassy window. A tear rolled down her cheek as years of struggle and pain flooded into her mind. "I wish... I wish I could go back to being like that... When things were simple. Simple in silence and sleep." She said wiping the tear away. "But now I am the strongest living being in the universe and I'm full of evil. But evil is not what I am... I'm not sure what I am anymore." She regained composure, wiped the tears from her eyes and left the cave. She gazed out over the plain and tried to get a bearing of the direction the little Namekians had taken her years in the future. "Hmm... Seems odd to say that now." She thought to herself as she took to the air.
"Halt who are you." A familiar voice rang out as she landed on the tower of the Eldest Namek. It was looked like Heroli but he didn't possess the same ki. His father perhaps Kaykora thought to herself as she bowed to him.
"I seek the Elder's permission to seek the Dragonballs." Karanas called out into the doorway.
"One moment." The voice disappeared. "Sir if I may she possesses a strong evil energy."
"Yes... But she intrigues me. Look past all of that and look into her heart Haroli. It is pure. I believe it is this purity maybe what drives her and for that reason I will see her." The Elder replied.
"As you wish Sir." Haroli said bowing and backing away. "The Elder will see you now."
"So you seek the Dragonballs."
"Yes Sir I do."
"For what reason do you seek them?" The Elder asked with minimal intrigue.
"I'm going to be completely honest with you Great Elder. In a little over 100 years I will awake from a tank in a cave and I will come seeking information about who I am and where I was going before crashing here. The journey, which you will help me embark on, will take to many places including the bowels of Hell itself. I stand before you today returned from those bowels a different person but with the same goal. I seek the Dragonballs in order to unleash a beast that I hope to absorb into my own body in order to keep it from being destroyed. You see if it's destroyed then my Master will gain all of its negative energy and then will be able to take over the Universe." Karanas said bluntly. "So either you help me or I go to Earth and use the Dragonballs and let the beast roam around and destroy it for a year before I gain enough wishes to do what I have to do."
"Go and make haste child. Find the Dragonballs and do what you must. The evil may have consumed your body but your heart is more pure than many that I have seen. I wish you luck and blessing." The Elder said nodding.
"ELDER! With all due respect she's just admitted she's going to unleash a demon! And she claims she's from the future! You can't honestly believe her sincerity!" Haroli objected.
"If it will soothe your doubtfully mind, Heroli will go on to train with the strongest Namek in the universe on the planet Earth and will go on to be one of the greatest guardians of peace it will ever know. He will fight in epic battles that shall decide the fate of us all. And he will do it with me." Karanas said getting up. "He will do things that if you only knew, would make you vastly proud of him."
"How do you know about Heroli? He... He's just he's... not..." Haroli stammered.
"I am who I claim and I will do what I vowed to do." Karanas said reaching a hand out to the side. A Dragonball floated to her and she took it in one hand. "I never break a promise as a promise has never been broken against me. And I promised to do my best to live up to the Ancient Namekian prophecy of protecting you from a great evil and by Beolinka I will do it." She said solemnly walking out.
Haroli turned around stunned and watched as she hopped over the side and disappeared. "Maybe, just maybe you will. I hope so, I hope Heroli lives to do what you said." Haroli whispered before turning and tending to the Elder.
Karanas stood in the middle of the field and made sure she couldn't sense a power for miles before she began summoning the Dragon Purunga. She had learned a little Namek from Heroli in their years together. It was enough to summon the Dragon and tell it what she wanted.
"Great Purunga! I wish for you to open these Oracles then teleport myself and the contents of the Oracles to one of the planets of the Kingdom of Archenakia!" She called out in Namekian to the Dragon before her.
"Is that all?" The Dragon boomed out.
"Yes. I give the third wish to the Namekians to use as they see fit."
"Very well your wishes shall be granted." The Dragon responded. The Oracles started to crank and play an eerie melody in unison. Before it could finish, a brilliant flash blinded Karanas and when she regained sight, she was on a plain outside of the Capital city.
"What have you done!" A voice called out in horror. Karanas turned to see a small and a larger yellow tinted creatures with pinkish mohawks standing behind her.
"I have released Hildegarn in order to keep him from being destroyed. Should he be destroyed, my Master will become too powerful to stop. I have released him now, by myself because if I didn't my Master would have. Please trust me Tapion." She said calmly.
"Why should we trust you?" The small one chirped.
"Because I have seen this all before. I know what I must do." She said with a smile. "Only this time around I'm making sure you live." With that she flew up and knocked them both unconscious. "Now I just have to wait for Hildegarn to break free." She turned and flew off to the Palace.

"You didn't answer the question." Vegeta snapped.
"Well Father my name NOW is Karanas." She said with a half smirk. "And I'm here to warn you all to stay out of my way. You see in a short time a huge evil creature is going to appear in the south. When it does, it's mine leave it to me."
"Kaykora, no it can't be!" Naros shouted running towards her. She held up and hand and blasted him back.
"She's not Kaykora anymore, now she's Karanas." Goku said helping him up.
"In her heart... Her heart is pure I can feel it." Naros objected.
"Yes but we have to get it out Naros. I just don't think all of us put together could take her now..." Bardock said worried. A great roar went up behind them and Karanas disappeared.
"The beast." Vegeta said quietly as they turned to see a huge beast making it's away toward the Capital.
"Wake up Tapion I'm going to need you and your brother's help." She said grabbing them up taking to the air.
"What... What are you doing?" Tapion said looking around.
"I need you to play and immobilize Hildegarn while I do what I have to do." She said bluntly setting them down near where Hildegarn was standing grabbing up people with the end of his tail and absorbing them. They started to play the melancholy melody that had come from the Oracles. "HILDEGARN!" She called out. "It is I who freed you and it is I you shall listen to!"

She focused hard on the pure energy in her heart and let it spread through her body. As she did, she began floating up into the air uncontrollably.
"Huh?" Tapion said as he stopped playing and looked over at Karanas. "She... She's purifying herself?" He asked confused as a bright blue beam shot out of her chest.
She set her feet on the ground and looked on at the huge creature she had spawned. "I will not lose and I will not let your energy go to him! KAYKORA'S BACK!!!" She screamed powering up to level three. "And it's MY turn..." She shot into the air crushing the ground she had been standing on. She rammed straight into Hildegarn and knocked him completely over. "HEO LONO CARU!" She screamed blasting him. The Strength of the blast drained her and caused her to slip out of her level three form.
"Kaykora... She's so powerful now... But how did she do it? How did she purify all of that evil energy in her body?" Naros shook his head in disbelief.
Kaykora floated to the ground. "Tapion play now channel the energy of the Gods to give me strength to do this." A voice said to his mind.
"Right." He started to play and his brother joined in.
"Strong and brave. I stand on the field of battle. I face down death and laugh in its face. I may meet it today but I shall not fall. I will rise and be born again better than before. For I shall never fall at the hands of an enemy. Purity, strength, and unity my virtues. And I will follow them to the end. And I will never fall at the hands of my enemy." She sang quietly but its words infiltrated the mind of every living thing on the planet.
"What a sad song." Goten said quietly as he held his dad up.
"It's the mournful song of the warrior. Thousands of years ago our races would sing it as they went into battle. It is the extension of the lullaby they had all heard as a child." Naros said in a serious tone.
"Lullaby? You mean the one she would always sing Trunks when he was little?" Vegeta winced as he spoke. Naros nodded. "Why the Hell is she singing?"
"I don't know..." But they would soon find out as little green things started flying passed them.
"What are those?" Trunks said as one stopped in front of him and winked then flew on.
"I have no clue... AAHHH..." One hit Naros in the arm and became absorbed by him. "Ahhh... That's strange... I feel stronger?" A large number had gathered around Goku and Vegeta and were flying around them Vegeta looked at them warily when suddenly they flew into him. His wounds healed and he felt instantly stronger than he ever had before in his current form. They did likewise to Goku who laughed as they did so.
"Boy what's going on here?" Vegeta said returning his gaze to his daughter that was now completely engulfed in these green energy things.
"I have no idea..." Slowly the green things started to disappear into Kaykora just as a pissed off Hildegarn started making its way to the two musicians. Kaykora disappeared and re-appeared with them just feet in front of the Saiyans.
"Keep playing this will be over soon." She said before disappearing. She re-appeared in front of Hildegarn and held out her hands. She said something in a language none of them recognized and the creature stopped its advance. Not only that but it tried to retreat; however, Kaykora had frozen it in place somehow. Black vortexes started coming out of the beast and moved towards her hands. As they did Hildegarn screamed out in pain.
"Only pure good can subdue pure evil..." Tapion said as he stopped playing. "The green things were pure good energy! They were giving her the amount of energy she needed to purify all of Hildegarn's evil!"
"PLAY TAPION PLAY!" Kaykora screamed as Hildegarn started sucking its energy back. He instantly started playing again and she regained control. But something was going wrong, she began trembling violently and dark sparks came off of her.
"She's losing control the energy is to much." Naros breathed. Everyone looked on with worried expressions.
"I WILL NOT LET HIM WIN!" Kaykora screamed transforming to level one. The energy poured into her faster now and she had regained control of the energy coming into her. Her golden aura cracked and sizzled in the evening air.
"Come on Kaykora, we know you can do it." Bulma said quietly as she, Chichi, and Videl looked on from the palace balcony. Hildegarn slowly started turning to stone as his energy left him.
"What's happening to him?" Goku asked puzzled.
"Hildegarn was created from a huge statue, without the evil energy that gives him life he is returning to what he once was." Tapion said pausing only long enough to say that.
"Then it's working!" Goku said happily.
"I'm not so sure Kakkorot it looks like she's losing control again..." Vegeta said pointing to her. She had begun shaking again and dark sparks were rising from her. And again she transformed going to the next level in order to maintain the stream of energy coming into her body.
"She can do it Vegeta, have faith in your daughter. She's stronger than you give her credit for." Goku said putting a comforting hand on his back. Vegeta nodded.
"You CAN do it Kaykora. I know you can." Naros thought as he gritted his teeth. "I'm here to back you up if you need it. I always will."

"WHAT IS SHE DOING?! HOW COULD SHE TURN ON ME LIKE THAT!!! IT"S IMPOSSIBLE AFTER ALL THE ENERGY I PUMPED INTO HER!!!" Daricus screamed looking into his orb.
"You underestimate the power of her will to do what she set out to do." A female voice smirked.
"You shut up Masikle. I did not bring you back to this time to belittle me. I could kill you now if I desired but I love your pretty face to much." Daricus said sternly.
"Whatever you say chief." Masikle said absentmindedly. "Just let us know when it's our turn." She walked away and motioned for her sister Casica to follow. "We shall make Goshiya pay for her insubordinate behavior." She laughed a minute. "I can't believe she even changed her name to distance herself from us. But that's well enough it won't matter when we're done with her!"
"Masikle!" Daricus called out. "Know this foolish girl, it is I that gave you power all along. And it is I that you bow down to now. Never forget that. Now go, as soon as the Key has absorbed Hildegarn's energy claim her and we shall go and open The Gate the you two shall see what real power is." Daricus gave an evil smile her way.
"Yes Master." Masikle said returning the smile.
