Chapter Eighteen: The Beginning Of The End
"Now is the time. We must do this."
"Yes, I agree, we have to break out now!"
"Would you two please be quiet, I am trying to think of a strategy" Kagato commanded.
"Look, they are all in one place. It would be the perfect time to attack them." Cell explained impatiently.
"Don't you think I already know that! The problem is I have not regained full control over Ryoko. It would be too hasty to break free now."
"Now is the best time. If we do not break free soon, she will reach them and they will find a way to prevent you controlling her." King Cold said, watching Cell, Freeza and Kagato argue.
"I need to take control of Ryoko. Now that man, Yama, how would I go about getting Ryoko up there?" Kagato asked King Cold.
"King Yama is up in the heavens, I think if you made Ryoko fly up to the heavens, then she will easily defeat him and set us free."
"Of course. Something that seems so impossible would naturally be easy to do."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Cell ordered.
"Get moving!" barked Freeza.
No. Not again. Ryoko felt Kagato taking over. I have to fight it! She thought.
"No. No Ryoko. Embrace your past. Live up to your destiny. You are mine. I will control you until you realise just exactly who you are!" Kagato's voice faded back to nothing just as quickly as it appeared.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed as her mind went blank. Kagato had won.
"How strange that someone as powerful as Ryoko, has such a weak mind." Kagato smirked as Freeza and Cell laughed.
"Do hurry up Kagato, the anticipation is killing me!" Freeza laughed.
Kagato laughed with pleasure. Soon this would all be over and Tenchi would pay for Kagato's demise!
Ryoko flew up higher and higher. She was like a bullet speeding through the sky.
"Kagato, a flaw in your plan has just come to me. Saiyans cannot breathe in outer space. She will die before reaching King Yama." King Cold sneered.
"Wrong. Ryoko is no ordinary Saiyan. An old friend of mine had seen to it that Ryoko was the most powerful of Saiyans, giving her upgrades that caused her power to increase tremendously; she can breathe in space."
There she was. In no time at all, Ryoko had reached the other world. Queues and queues of spirits waited along a winding road, leading into a room; King Yama's office. The yellow clouds swirled around her as she flew over to the building. She barged into the room.
"Hey, back of the line!" A booming voice called as she entered the room.
King Yama was an exceedingly large man with a bright pinkish-red face and a bushy black beard matching his messy hair and black eyes. He had horns sticking out of what appeared to be a helmet.
Ryoko lifted her hand and blasted away the spirits that were in front of her. She stepped forward, Her greenish-blue hair shining in the light.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me?" He yelled, his gruff voice at full volume.
Ryoko held out her hand and an energy ball appeared. Her arm stretched in front of her, she clenched the ball and it appeared as a staff of orange coloured energy. She was ready to fight. Yama stared at her.
"You Saiyans." He sighed hopelessly, " You can never admit you're dead, can you?" He got up, his head almost touching the ceiling.
Ryoko stood ready to attack.
"Destroy him Ryoko, DESTROY..." came the voice in her head.
With that she attacked, Yama wasn't expecting her to attack so soon, and was unprepared. She dug her energy staff into his gut. Then she swung her leg around to kick him in the head, but Yama, clenching his gut in one hand, put a large arm up to block her. He wasn't going down so easily. He grabbed her with his remaining arm and put her in a tight headlock.
"The 'Yama-lock' never fails!" He coughed.
"Until now." Came the reply from Ryoko. She phased through his arm and punched him hard in the face. He was knocked unconscious.
Ryoko laughed, but it wasn't her own. The three sinister villains that controlled her were having the time of their lives, so to speak.
"Well, I guess she is strong." Cell admitted.
"I never thought this plan would pull off," Freeza laughed, "But I am glad that we stuck with it."
"I guess Saiyans can come in useful after all!" King Kold smiled.
An ogre appeared, too late to help Yama.
"You." Ryoko said, pointing to the blue ogre who had rushed in. He backed away,
"You b-b-beat King Yama?" He stammered.
"Tell me," Ryoko continued, " How do I find the Home For Infinite Losers?"
"I- I- I I don't know."
"Now your lying. I'll give you one last chance, if you come up with some lame excuse, then you will end up worse than Yama over there."
"You- you- you need t-to fall off S-S-Snake way."
"But I hear you can't get back out if you fall from Snake Way. There must be a secret passage? An emergency escape route? Tell me or else..." She said her blank yellow eyes narrowed.
He gulped, as a bead of sweat dripped onto his vest. "I-I-It's his desk, the drawer on the desk. C-comes out as a crack in the cliff-face. No! Noooo!"
Ryoko blasted him. He fell on the floor in a heap. Could the Ogres die here? She didn't care. Kagato didn't care either.
She floated up to the desk and opened up the drawer.
"Come on then." Kagato ordered, "if you want to leave we need to find the crack!"
"It's over here!" Cell called. They started running up the crack in the cliff. Stairs began to form, and they lead up higher and higher, in darkness they ran, past glittering stars in the blackness. Then a glimmer of light. They had made it. They crept out of the drawer.
"Now lets get out of here." Cell shouted before they all flew down to Earth.
