Step...Squish...Step...Squish...
Kali walked slowly back towards the other side of the planet, the tentacle still wrapped around her leg. By this time, the blood, or slime, or whatever the fluid was that had run out of the severed tentacle had soaked her boot and socks, which was a very unpleasant feeling. She knew she could fly there quicker and without the icky squishing, but that might cause her to lose the tentacle. Why would she still want it? Well of course Kibito Kai would want to know if some evil thing had infested this planet. And just maybe he had an idea who her attacker was...
Step...Squish...Step...Squish...
"Eww...eww...eww..." she said to herself in disgust. "Yep...nothing like having some disgusting unknown slime in your boot...eww...even though Spazer's "surprise goo in the shoe" could have run for its money...gross gross..."
Kali took a moment to remember the surprise goo in the shoe incident. (In other words, a short flashback)
"Thanks for cleaning my boot Spaz." Kali said, Even though she was very surprised that Spazer would do anything nice for her without there being a twist to it.
"No prob." Spazer said grinning. He handed her the boot. Kali slipped the boot back on her foot. She stood up with a loud squishing sound. Green ooze seeped out of the rim of the yellow boot.
Kali was disgusted. "DAMN YOU SPAZER! WHAT DID YOU PUT IN MY SHOE?!"
Spazer was rolling on the ground laughing. "You fell for it! My newest prank!"
Kali did not find this amusing. "What do you call this retarded joke this time? Huh?"
"Surprise Goo in the Shoe!" Spazer laughed. He stopped for a second, realizing something. "Hey! I'm a poet and didn't know it!"
The rest of that day Kali had been chasing Spazer around trying to pulverize him. Kibito Kai had followed them trying to get them to stop, even though Kali knew that he thought Spazer deserved it.
At last after the long walk she managed to make it to the spot where Kibito Kai usually was watching the crystal ball...not to mention the spot where Old Kai read porno...
Step...Squish...Step...Squish...
Kibito Kai heard the squishing noise approaching and looked up from the crystal ball. "Kali, where have you been? Have you been swimming or something? Your boot sounds wet..." He trailed off when he saw the tentacle and the oozy slime.
"Any of you..." Kali replied to the stares as she stripped the tentacle off. "Want to tell me what the hell this is?" She held up the tentacle, which still continued to ooze.
"Where did you find that?" Old Kai said, setting down the magazine.
"I was attacked." She pointed over in the direction she had walked from. "Somewhere over there...in the dark."
"What was it attached to?"
"Nothing." She simply replied.
There was a moment of silence.
"Nothing?" Kibito Kai asked. "What do you mean nothing?"
"I know this gonna sound funny, but it was...like...invisible." The two looked at her funny. "I swear." Old Kai still looked at her funny, but Kibito Kai sort of believed Kali, for she had this serious look on her face. "Cross my heart and hope to die." She crossed over her chest with her fingers.
"Than why can we see it now if it was invisible?" Old Kai said, getting closer for a better look.
"Well, you see I was taking a walk and I sensed this power and- EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!."
Kibito Kai and Old Kai jumped back in surprise, for the so called dead severed tentacle had come to life, twisting itself up Kali's arm.
"GET OFF ME!" She tugged and tugged at it, but this time the grip was too tight. It squeezed her arm, making it go numb. It continued to crawl, getting closer to her neck. "I cut you off!" She screeched at it. "You shouldn't be able to come back! You're a dead limb from...from...whatever that creature was..."
"Heh heh..." Kali stopped struggling for a moment. Her heart beat faster. She searched around for the person who the voice belonged.
"Y-y-you guys..." She stammered, frightened. Kali looked towards Kibito Kai and Old Kai who hadn't moved from the moment the thing had come to life. "Did o-o-one of y-y-you guys...l-l-laugh...?"
Kibito Kai, eyes staring wide open, slowly shook his head.
Kali's breathing became faster. "Than...than...than...who...?"
"Heh heh." The strange voice answered her question. "I'm here...but then again I'm not...for you can not see...the ones who are invisible..."
Kali became confused. Was this the thing that attacked her?
"Let me go." She simply stated.
"No" The thing answered. "I need...you..."
Eeew...was this thing a perverted monster? Her mind was full of disgusting thoughts now. "For what?" Her eyes continued to look for any sign of it. "My body or something?"
"No..."
Ok, it was not perverted.
"You can keep that...I want your soul..."
She blinked. "My soul..." A creepy shiver went down her spine. Kali was frightened more than ever now. Kibito Kai and Old Kai were still unnoticed in the back; she stared at them, searching for comfort, searching for any way out of this, someone to tell her she was in a bad dream.
"Yes..." It whispered. It sort of had the sound of a snake, more like a hiss than a whisper. "I want it...and I will have it...your soul..."
She imagined the invisible creature smiling now, evilly smiling, for the way this was going, the way she stood there holding on the tentacle and barely even struggling, it seemed that Kali had given in.
But her boldness had come back. Nothing telling her that her soul belonged to it was going to frighten her. She was a Kai. Kai's were supposed to be brave.
"No." she whispered. "This soul is mine, and mine alone. It will never become in your possession!"
"Humph." The voice was uneasy now. She had angered it. "If you aren't willing to give in, then I will take it by force...and very slowly...painfully...until I have it..."
Kali felt another tentacle wrap around her waist. "What the?"
"PREPARE TO DIE!"
Using both hands, including the one which was still numb from the tentacle squeezing, and tried to tug it off. But the harder she tugged the tighter it seemed to get.
Another one wrapped itself around her ankle, and to her dismay, this one was not going easy on her and giving her a chance to pry it off. It squeezed hard until there was a cracking sound as her ankle bone was snapped. Tears formed in Kali's eyes, but she held in the screams; her opponent would think she was weak.
"HELLO OVER THERE!" She hollered at Kibito Kai who was still staring dumbfounded, shocked, and frightened. "ARE YOU GOING TO HELP OR WHAT?!" Kali's body was being lifted into the air.
He finally stood up, not sure though how he could help. The tentacles were invisible and he was not sure where they were.
"MY WAIST!!!!" she screamed. The one wrapped on her arm had now successfully broken her arm and began crawling towards her face. "THERE'S ONE ON MY ANKLE! YOU CAN SEE THE ONE ON MY ARM! PLEASE! HELP ME! IT'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!"
Kibito Kai knew he couldn't let her die. He charged into action, aiming towards the one on her waist when he himself was wrapped in a tentacle.
"No...one will help her...you too...shall die." It began banging him against the ground.
Kali struggled against the tentacle. Its grip was just too tight. Was she really going to die? Seeing Kibito Kai also getting the same treatment angered her. There had to be some way out of this. Maybe, just maybe, if she found out what this thing was, she could find out its weakness. And if she didn't...maybe King Kai was watching them right now, and if she didn't survive, he would tell Goku. Yes, of course, Goku would save them all. He had several times. But how? She needed a plan, and fast. Than it came to her; a simple but perfect idea.
"I...I...surrender..." Kali muttered.
Old Kai gasped. "What in the hell are you saying?"
The thing stopped moving. "Yes girl, that's right. Let me win."
Kali attempted a look of defeat and bowed her head. "Yes...you are just too powerful of a creature for a Kai to defeat..." She did a fake sigh. "But first..."
"We're gonna die if you surrender!" Kibito Kai yelled, only to be smacked against the ground again.
"Shut up and let the girl talk" It growled at him. "Please, continue."
"But first...before you take my life...tell me...who are you? What are you? Why are you invisible? What is your purpose?
"Fine" The thing said. "As a final wish before you die, I will tell you." It loosened the tentacles grip on her body for a bit. "The reason I am invisible just happens to be because of the soul I am using."
"What...do you mean?"
"The soul I stole, that I'm using...happens to be of an invisible octopus like creature that can not be visible, and that can not be changed."
"You're...you're...using the souls of others?"
"I am a shape shifter of other's souls. I have no shape or form myself, so I must use others."
"You mean you can become anyone of the souls...as long as you stole them?" "Yes indeed." The creature paused. "As an example..." Kali could sense the thing changing. It changed in its presence, its power level, everything. There was a glow of light as the thing took the form of another human being.
Kibito Kai gasped, apparently he knew this person. "G...G...Gohan?"
Gohan grinned. He even talked like Gohan. "As you see, I can take the form of anyone..." He said as he now took the form of Cell. "As long as I have their soul..." Pan now smirked at them. "It is possible."
"But...But...they are dead." Kibito Kai said.
"I raided other world." Pan slowly walked in a circle around the floating Kais. Apparently he didn't need to be the octopus thing to use the tentacles. "And found the most powerful spirits I could find."
"For what reason?"
"Duh, what every villain wants in the world!" Old Kai said from behind them. "To control the universe!"
Pan smiled at him. "Yes, and I will succeed. But unluckily enough..." Pan transformed into Goten. "I could not find Goku's spirit anywhere. Without power like that, I can not overcome any strong warriors."
"HA!" Kali laughed. "That's too bad for you. We wished him back to life!"
"Yes..." Goten frowned. "And now that he is human it will be more difficult to take his soul." Goten's form changed to Baby. "And since you are the idiots to blame for it..."
Kali became tense. Worry struck her now. This was it. He was going to kill them.
"...You will pay." Baby began laughing uncontrollably. It was the creepiest laugh Kali had ever heard; it sent shivers down her spine. She stared at Kibito Kai hovering not too far away. They gave each other worried expressions. Was this...the end...of the Kais?
Back on Earth...
Spazer was sitting with everyone in the living room when he felt it. Something was wrong back on the planet. Goku, Vegeta, Lumina, and Zennie where discussing the latest death report on the TV. He doubted that anyone noticed the change in the energy levels up there, not even Goku.
Kali...Kibito Kai...are they alright...? Did something happen to them? Should I go there?
"So...what do you think is going on Goku?" Lumina asked.
"Dunno...it's the strangest thing I've heard of."
"You think maybe there is a connection between what people have been killed?"
"Good question Vegeta..." Goku thought a second. "There could be...maybe cousins or something?"
"Nah" Lumina answered. "I have never seen any of those people other than my own family before."
"Besides..." They turned their heads towards Zennie, who hadn't said a word since they began their discussion. He had out a piece of paper and was writing down names of people. "One group of people has somewhat of saiyan blood in them, and the others are normal humans."
"So..." Goku said. "Not all the saiyan families were...ya know...saiyans. Several were married to normal mortals."
"Well...I've done some research...and I don't think any of them are related...as you can see here..." Vegeta and Goku all looked down at his paper.
"Impressive..." Vegeta said.
"Know-it-all..." Lumina said under her breath. She turned and noticed Spazer, who seemed to be somewhere else in thought, and by his face it he wasn't scheming another prank.
"Kali...Kibito Kai..." He whispered aloud.
"Huh?"
Spazer walked slowly towards the window. He stared at the sky.
"...Spazer...?"
The others turned away from Zennie's work.
"What's up," Goku asked curiously.
"Goku..." Spazer replied seriously. "I think we need to head back to the Planet of the Kais...I think something's wrong."
Goku sensed it himself now. That feeling he got...Spazer was right, something was not like should be. "We must go there immediately."
"But..." Lumina said. "What about that death?"
"If something is wrong up there, it could be serious trouble."
Vegeta nodded his head. "Nothing attacks the Kais without a bad purpose."
"Right..." Spazer said, he was very worried. He grabbed Luminas arm. "I'll take her."
"What about me?" Zennie piped in.
"I think you should stay here." Goku told him. "You are just a mortal, and if anything strong is up there, you're out of luck."
"Right." Zennie sighed relief. He didn't want to get mixed up in this. He stood back as the four instant transmit and found himself alone, wondering if they would return alive.
It seemed rather quiet on the planet of the Kais. Goku took a walk around the place, waiting for Kibito Kai to come greet him like he usually did.
"No...ones here." Spazer panicked.
"HELLO!!!!!!!!" Goku shouted. No answer. He couldn't even sense a power.
Spazer fell to the ground. "Oh no...something's happened to them...what do I do?"
Lumina went to sit next to him. Vegeta walked around the place too, looking for signs of living life. "Kakarot...nothings here."
"I am here..." A familiar voice came from the distance. A figure appeared in the distance walking towards them. Goku's eyes were wide when he saw him. The person looked just as he had last seen him on earth.
"G...G...Gohan?"
Gohan smiled. "Hello, father."
