18 lay in the bath deep in thought. She was thinking about the events that had happend in the few weeks after the waiter insident, and how Krillin seemed to have changed after it all. (He isn't like he used to be. He's more agressive and assertive, not to me of course. But, recently he's been getting into fights with the guys who flirt with me. I really cant blame him, some of them I wanted to punch as well. It's just not like him to be this way.) 18 lay there unawares of who was watching.
Roshi sat in front of his TV screen with 2 open box's labeled. "Home Security camera." and "1 way mirror". Krillin walked in to see all this and, curious, walked up behind the old turtle master. What he saw gave him a shock, as well as a blush. He quickly walked off upstairs and to the bathroom. He didn't even knock.
18 heard the door open, and stared with shock. Krillin had just walked in on her taking a bath. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE SHORTY!!!". She said as she tried to cover herself modestly.
"Please excuse me." Krillin said rather calmly, though with a blush on his face. He walked over to the sink with the mirror, and proceeded to punch the mirror breaking both it and the camera on the other side. He turned around, apologized again, and walked out.
18 stared confused for what must have been a few minutes. She shot glances to the smashed camera on the floor. the pieces of mirror, and the place both had been only a few minutes ago.
it wasn't much longer when a loud scream could be heard throughout the island "ROSHI I SWEAR THIS TIME IM GONA KILL YOU!!!"
Roshi began to panic. "Krillin why did you have to go and do that? Now I have to make a run for it or she WILL kill me." and with that Roshi ran to the door, and took off for a little vacation.
"It's your fault old man, I'm not the one who set all that up." Krillin began to make some breakfast. he knew that once 18 was done with Roshi she'd be hungry, she was always hungry after hunting down and beating the old turtle hermit to a bloody pulp. Though none herd his comment, Roshi was already gone.
18 as quick as she could, finished her bath, got dressed, and hurried downstairs in a blind rage. "KRILLIN WHERE THE HELL IS THE OLD MAN!!" She was breathing heavily, and if he didn't know better, she looked like she had activated a self destruct mechanism or something and was about to blow.
"Sorry 18, you just missed him. He left, and I don't think he'll be back for a while." Krillin just continued to make some breakfast. Like this was a regular morning conversation with her. Though truly it was, Roshi almost every day did something that would invoke 18's wrath. He would be hunted by 18, get a few bumps on the head, and the next day do it all over again. And every day Krillin was more sure that 18 found entertainment in there little game.
18 and Krillin had been getting more close as the days went on. though 18 still didn't talk much. he was able to get a few smiles out of her every day. Krillin had also taken her out on several more dates, though he was still met with all those jock's that thought they could steel her without any effort. He was getting worried though. True he had never felt this attached to someone as he felt towards 18. And the thought of loosing her haunted his mind each time a new guy made a move on 18. But sometimes he would almost go to far, he had left several guys with broken arm's, noses, and ribs. It's almost like he didn't have control over himself anymore.
Throughout the weeks a cloaked man has been secretly watching the couple whenever they go out in public. In the shadows, he knew all his plans would be successful, as each day. His target became more and more agressive. (Funny, I thought I would have been after 18.) It was a weird turn of events to find that the short one was indeed the one he sought. (I just have to plan my moment right. He isn't fully ready. Why couldn't he have been arrogant, selfish, and power-hungry. Those people were always the easiest to control. Oh well I'm sure that my time will come soon). And for him it did come soon. for years to him came and went as drops of water during a storm.
[alright sorry for the jump that's about to occur. its going to go past Marrons birth, the wedding all the way up to the Buu saga. I may do my take on the wedding but that's most likely going to be a separate story and in no way has relevance to this fic so I'm going to skip. all the way to the lookout, just before Krillin attacks buu and eats everyone.]
Krillin watched in horror as buu stood before them. He had believed that buu would never threaten the world again, and here he was, declaring he would eat him, his friends.... and his family. "18, get everyone out of here". Krillin had a fierce look in his eye's. Fear, anger, and hate flowed through him. he could hardly control himself anymore.
[stuffs going to happen differently]
The complete loss of all humanity, the kind that comes from hopelessness, abandonment, and pain. Krillin was hitting a height of power, beyond even what he was ever capable of. Yet though this could have been a blessing. He lost all sense of reason. The only thing left was his wish to kill the abomination before him.
"KRILLIN!!" 18 knew what he was going to do. She feared what would become of her husband. He only wanted a peaceful life for there family, only to have it thrown into disarray.
"Come on lets go." She gathered everyone up and headed into the lookout. (I swear Krillin if you die on me I'll kill you)
Krillin stood there. alone with buu.
The ground began to shake. the sky seemed to lose all concept of light and happiness. A dark shadow encompassed the lookout, as Krillin began to shake in rage. "Buu. I swear, I shall make you pay for all the suffering you have caused in the world."
"bwahah, you weak human, what do you think you can do to buu." Buu was finding this all entertain. He had no fear that he could kill the little human. "You want to fight buu. Then buu give you pain." buu just began to laugh.
Krillin was unable to hear him. his mind, long ago shut itself from the world.
18 could feel something happening. something was wrong. She could feel that Krillin was in trouble. Though not from buu.
Krillin started to gather energy. A lot of energy. The air around him became as the shadow, as electricity shot from him, and incased him. his eyes lost all form of white, and became as black as night. Buu had stopped laughing. Instead he just watched, still not worried, but he wanted to be ready and not be caught off guard.
he couldn't feel the real power Krillin had taped into. Krillin didn't fully understand it either. It was hatred, death, destruction, the worst things humanity was capable of. It fed Krillin with the absolute hatred of the thing in front of him, and he lost all control. There was only one thing now. to make him suffer.
Krillin sped toward buu blindly. with so much speed buu was unable to react. He hit him with such force, he sent buu flying off of the lookout.
Krillin followed buu off of the lookout, and before buu could even regain himself, Krillin pounded him, sending him plummeting into the earth. He hovered where he was and held his hand towards buu. He screamed as the strain of the energy he gathered flew from his hand in one completely black sphere of energy.
Buu couldn't believe what was happening. (the puny human hurt buu. Now buu hurt puny human.) he righted himself and headed in a strait line strait for Krillin back up at the lookout. he was unable to see the blast heading his way because clouds obscured his view.
buu was met by a massive blast of energy. so much in fact it caused him to scream in pain. once the energy of the blast was spent. A very singed and very angry buu charged with renewed rage back to the lookout.
Krillin hovered there waiting. he knew that buu would have survived the blast. after all he wanted to make him experience pain like he had never felt before. (Come on I want to continue killing you) He didn't have to wait long before Buu showed himself again.
This time events went a little differently. Now buu wanted to kill this human so bad he didn't hold any of his power back. With his full power, he managed to pummel Krillin like a punching bag. Krillin though more powerful than he had ever been before was still no match for this monster. the fight lasted only a few minutes before buu had managed to bring Krillin to his knees.
Krillin's mind however was fighting another battle. (Krillin, I know you want to kill him. You can you know. All you have to do is let me take control and I will kill him. All you have to do is give yourself over to hate. Loose yourself in it Krillin, and it will give you power beyond all comprehension.) a cloaked man stood before Krillin in the corridor's of his mind. "Krillin your true power will surface if you only give into the desire to kill"
Krillin had been fighting a battle to keep his innocence in his mind. He had let some of himself become lost in the hate, but he still held onto his being. He couldn't let himself be fueled by this most evil of emotions, or he would be no different than all those he has fought against. "I wont let you take what I have left of my innocence. I would rather die."
"Even if it cost you your loved ones?" the cloaked man waived his hand as pictures of a fleeing 18, Marron, and his friends appeared. "Don't you want to save them. You can Krillin. You have the power, all you have to do is release it."
Krillin was struggling within. the prospect of killing buu was almost to good to be true. "And then what. If I let myself be consumed with hate, I may do something to hurt them myself."
the cloaked man began to walk toward Krillin. "Such is the nature with power. You have to choose Krillin. What do you really want. I can give you power, that would make Vegeta green with envy. I could make you more powerful than Goku could ever dream of becoming. It is all within your grasp, all you have to do is let go."
"NOOO!" Krillin charged at the image and struck it down.
Krillin now found himself back at the lookout. Severely injured and exhausted.
"You make good candy" Buu shot his weird energy beam from his tentacle. causing Krillin to be changed into a candy bar. Buu proceeded to eat him and everyone on the look out.
[alright now everything from here on is the same. Goku beats buu. the earth and all those who died are wished back. ect.]
in a small apartment in the city. a lone figure stood clenching a strange looking talasmin. (hmm, looks like Goku was successful. I will have to thank him sometime.) He had been really close to loosing all that he had worked so hard for. (If only he had accepted the power. He could have easily dealt with buu. It looks like more persuasion is necessary before I can get what I want.) he pondered for a while on how to best succeed in his mission, when he had a revelation. (18 of course that's the key.) he smiled evilly and began to laugh.
Life back at Turtle island had returned to normal. With everyone back alive and the world once again safe. Krillin, and 18 who had no idea what had happened to Krillin as she wasn't there to witness it. returned to there simple life on the island. That was until one day.
a cloaked man appeared outside of the turtle hermits house. He just seemed to stand there and wait.
18 was alone today. Krillin had went shopping along with everyone else, except Marron. She had begged him to take them so she could get a bath in peace. (I cant believe I'm reduced to bathing in secrecy, sigh) She finished her bath and went to prepare something to eat. (They should be home soon and hungrier than a Saiyan on a diet.) She stoped when she saw that someone was waiting ouside. (I wonder who that is?) she asked herself as she stepped outside.
"Who are you?" 18 walked outside cautiously. She could since something about him that made her feel fear.
"Me I'm no one important. I wished to speak with you. I have information about your past I think you would like to hear about, but not here. If you want to learn, all you have to do is follow." with that he took toward the air.
18 was in shock. She had almost given up on learning about her past. She was unable to find anyone with any knowledge of her, and here this total stranger comes out of no wear and say's he can tell her about her past. So of course she followed him. She had to learn about her past no matter what kind of danger it put her in.
She had no idea how her actions that day could bring the world pain.
they landed on a high mountain. Far away from the island, and far away from anyone that would be able to hear or see them.
"Alright speak up what do you know about me?" 18 was growing impatient. She wanted to know now. Not follow this weird guy across the earth.
"hmm, impatient. Gero said you developed impatience, after he changed you of course." 18 was shocked.
"YOU KNEW DR.GERO!" she was getting furious. She hated Gero with a passion and if this guy turns out to be a friend of his.
"only by research. I assure you I had nothing to do with the late Dr. I only know of his research. For instance, I know of the power source that powers both you and your brother." Gero kept a very detailed log of all that had happend. From Jim's death. To there ultimate creation. he didn't leave out a single detail.
18 was devastated. Hearing all of her past, she wanted to doubt it, but in her heart she knew it was all true. "That bastard. How could he do this to me." She was almost on the brink of tears.
the cloaked man removed his hood. He was obviously a handsome man. Looked to be in his early 20's. He had light brown hair. Blue eye's, that despite the feel 18 got from him. Looked to display compassion. "I know what its like to lose a loved one 18. A long time ago I too lost something that would change me forever." He had flashbacks. Pictures of someone long ago dead. A beautiful Woman with long black hair. and deep green eyes. Eyes that displayed a love of all life. "But the world is cruel. There are few who really enjoy the life we all have, and even fewer who would die to defend it." But as soon as this brief sign of humanity entered his eye's, just as soon as it had left. (I will make them all pay for my pain)
"alright 18 now that I have told you what you wanted to know, its time for you to help me. You are going to deliver Krillin to me. Now this is what I want you to do." he began to explain his plan to 18. Who just looked at him in horror.
(How on earth would he believe I would do all this) She was furious at him, and was about to attack him. That was until he pulled out an amulet.
"Now 18 I knew you'd have misgivings about this. Now BOW TO ME!" the amulet began to glow a faint blue, and 18 found herself on the ground unable to move. "Listen well. You may not have a lot of the crystal inside you, but you do have it. That allows me to control you without question. Now I want you to do EXACTLY as I planned, Understood?"
from her currently subdued position, 18 found she couldn't struggle. Her body wasn't hers anymore. She had become simply a spectator in her own mind. However he didn't say she couldn't speak so she let him have it. She had to respond with a yes, but attached some very hateful and profane words to it.
"Sigh. Why must everyone I control have a dirty mouth. Now in order to have you not tip off Krillin. I want you to act like you hate him. I want you to insult him. I want you to act like you want this plan to go the way I want. now you may only answer with a yes. do you understand?" He was almost joking around with her. Normally he would be dead right now, but 18 couldn't do anything. She could only respond with the yes he wanted.
"Yes" 18 was fighting a loosing battle. She couldn't even fight, she didn't know what to fight,
he smirked. Finally things were going to go his way. "Good, now go fulfill my mission." with that 18 leapt to the sky, heading towards turtle island.
19 arrived at the island and instantly began to call for marron. (NO, STOP DONT DO THIS!!) she yelled at herself, but she didn't listen. Marron came outside. asking what she wanted.
Marron sort of sleepy eyed wondered what her mother could have wanted. "Yes mommy, did you want something?"
18 didn't waste any time, she quickly grabbed marron and proceeded to wait till everyone got back as per instructions. though he didn't say anything about how she should talk to marron. "Please, I'm so sorry, It's not me I cant control myself. Please forgive me for what's going to happen." 18 began to sob. She still had the liberty as Krillin wasn't there yet, and he said that she only had to act like she hated him around him.
Marron was confused. "What do you mean not in control? Mommy what's going on?"
(I cant bring myself to tell her. How could i be doing this. Why can't i stop this.) For the first time 18 felt helpless. She wasn't used to this feeling and it scared her. (I cant tell you. That if Krillin doesn't somehow stop me. I will kill you.) she thought is last few lines with sadness. Like it had already come to pass. "I'm so sorry." she cried for the next hour. That is until Krillin and all them returned to the island.
Krillin arrived at the island to see 18 standing outside holding there daughter. This didn't really surprise him. It was the look on 18's face that worried him. A look that he thought was gone from her forever. A hint of evil, hidden behind tear soaked eye's. "18 what's going on?"
18 now had no control over what she said and did. Her instructions were clear." (As much as I love you Krillin, I cant stop what's about to happen. You have to stop me.)
18 began to laugh. "Krillin so naive. You should have known that I was incapable of love. Now I am with someone else. Someone who appreciates my evil nature. And to celebrate were going to erase what tied me to you in the first place." (God what am i saying. Please don't believe a word of it Krillin. It's all lie's)
Krillin was having a hard time believing what she was saying. She had seamed perfectly happy here. On this little island. With her pride and joy, marron. With him. "W-what are y-you saying?" Krillin had hurt in his eye's a deep wound was opening. A scar that would most likely maim him for the rest of his life and afterlife.
18's mind no longer could see the world around her, it was to busy crying over what would come to pass. "I am taking marron with me, and soon we both wont have to look at her again." With that she took off into the air. Rather slowly though, like she wanted to be followed.
Krillin mind was trying to register all that had just happend. The only thing he was sure of right now was, that no matter the cost. He had to save Marron. He feared what was going to become of her, and he had to save 18. He was sure something was wrong. He trusted her with his life, and he is willing to trust that she would not do this of her own free will.
Without a second more thought he sped off and followed 18, and he must admit she was easy to follow.
the uncloaked cloaked man stood on the mountain. Laughing, (everything is falling into place. Now he will truly be born, and as my tool for destruction. I will bring suffering to the world. Kain my old friend, you may have changed since last I saw you, but you still will be mine).
To be continued

Roshi sat in front of his TV screen with 2 open box's labeled. "Home Security camera." and "1 way mirror". Krillin walked in to see all this and, curious, walked up behind the old turtle master. What he saw gave him a shock, as well as a blush. He quickly walked off upstairs and to the bathroom. He didn't even knock.
18 heard the door open, and stared with shock. Krillin had just walked in on her taking a bath. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE SHORTY!!!". She said as she tried to cover herself modestly.
"Please excuse me." Krillin said rather calmly, though with a blush on his face. He walked over to the sink with the mirror, and proceeded to punch the mirror breaking both it and the camera on the other side. He turned around, apologized again, and walked out.
18 stared confused for what must have been a few minutes. She shot glances to the smashed camera on the floor. the pieces of mirror, and the place both had been only a few minutes ago.
it wasn't much longer when a loud scream could be heard throughout the island "ROSHI I SWEAR THIS TIME IM GONA KILL YOU!!!"
Roshi began to panic. "Krillin why did you have to go and do that? Now I have to make a run for it or she WILL kill me." and with that Roshi ran to the door, and took off for a little vacation.
"It's your fault old man, I'm not the one who set all that up." Krillin began to make some breakfast. he knew that once 18 was done with Roshi she'd be hungry, she was always hungry after hunting down and beating the old turtle hermit to a bloody pulp. Though none herd his comment, Roshi was already gone.
18 as quick as she could, finished her bath, got dressed, and hurried downstairs in a blind rage. "KRILLIN WHERE THE HELL IS THE OLD MAN!!" She was breathing heavily, and if he didn't know better, she looked like she had activated a self destruct mechanism or something and was about to blow.
"Sorry 18, you just missed him. He left, and I don't think he'll be back for a while." Krillin just continued to make some breakfast. Like this was a regular morning conversation with her. Though truly it was, Roshi almost every day did something that would invoke 18's wrath. He would be hunted by 18, get a few bumps on the head, and the next day do it all over again. And every day Krillin was more sure that 18 found entertainment in there little game.
18 and Krillin had been getting more close as the days went on. though 18 still didn't talk much. he was able to get a few smiles out of her every day.

Oh well I'm sure that my time will come soon). And for him it did come soon. for years to him came and went as drops of water during a storm.
[alright sorry for the jump that's about to occur. its going to go past Marrons birth, the wedding all the way up to the Buu saga. I may do my take on the wedding but that's most likely going to be a separate story and in no way has relevance to this fic so I'm going to skip. all the way to the lookout, just before Krillin attacks buu and eats everyone.]
Krillin watched in horror as buu stood before them. He had believed that buu would never threaten the world again, and here he was, declaring he would eat him, his friends.... and his family. "18, get everyone out of here". Krillin had a fierce look in his eye's. Fear, anger, and hate flowed through him. he could hardly control himself anymore.
[stuffs going to happen differently]
The complete loss of all humanity, the kind that comes from hopelessness, abandonment, and pain. Krillin was hitting a height of power, beyond even what he was ever capable of. Yet though this could have been a blessing. He lost all sense of reason. The only thing left was his wish to kill the abomination before him.
"KRILLIN!!" 18 knew what he was going to do. She feared what would become of her husband. He only wanted a peaceful life for there family, only to have it thrown into disarray.
"Come on lets go." She gathered everyone up and headed into the lookout. (I swear Krillin if you die on me I'll kill you)
Krillin stood there. alone with buu.
The ground began to shake. the sky seemed to lose all concept of light and happiness. A dark shadow encompassed the lookout, as Krillin began to shake in rage. "Buu. I swear, I shall make you pay for all the suffering you have caused in the world."
"bwahah, you weak human, what do you think you can do to buu." Buu was finding this all entertain. He had no fear that he could kill the little human. "You want to fight buu. Then buu give you pain." buu just began to laugh.
Krillin was unable to hear him. his mind, long ago shut itself from the world.
18 could feel something happening. something was wrong. She could feel that Krillin was in trouble. Though not from buu.
Krillin started to gather energy. A lot of energy. The air around him became as the shadow, as electricity shot from him, and incased him. his eyes lost all form of white, and became as black as night. Buu had stopped laughing. Instead he just watched, still not worried, but he wanted to be ready and not be caught off guard.
he couldn't feel the real power Krillin had taped into. Krillin didn't fully understand it either. It was hatred, death, destruction, the worst things humanity was capable of. It fed Krillin with the absolute hatred of the thing in front of him, and he lost all control. There was only one thing now. to make him suffer.

Krillin followed buu off of the lookout, and before buu could even regain himself, Krillin pounded him, sending him plummeting into the earth. He hovered where he was and held his hand towards buu. He screamed as the strain of the energy he gathered flew from his hand in one completely black sphere of energy.
Buu couldn't believe what was happening. (the puny human hurt buu. Now buu hurt puny human.) he righted himself and headed in a strait line strait for Krillin back up at the lookout. he was unable to see the blast heading his way because clouds obscured his view.
buu was met by a massive blast of energy. so much in fact it caused him to scream in pain. once the energy of the blast was spent. A very singed and very angry buu charged with renewed rage back to the lookout.
Krillin hovered there waiting. he knew that buu would have survived the blast. after all he wanted to make him experience pain like he had never felt before. (Come on I want to continue killing you) He didn't have to wait long before Buu showed himself again.
This time events went a little differently. Now buu wanted to kill this human so bad he didn't hold any of his power back. With his full power, he managed to pummel Krillin like a punching bag. Krillin though more powerful than he had ever been before was still no match for this monster. the fight lasted only a few minutes before buu had managed to bring Krillin to his knees.
Krillin's mind however was fighting another battle. (Krillin, I know you want to kill him. You can you know. All you have to do is let me take control and I will kill him. All you have to do is give yourself over to hate. Loose yourself in it Krillin, and it will give you power beyond all comprehension.) a cloaked man stood before Krillin in the corridor's of his mind. "Krillin your true power will surface if you only give into the desire to kill"
Krillin had been fighting a battle to keep his innocence in his mind. He had let some of himself become lost in the hate, but he still held onto his being. He couldn't let himself be fueled by this most evil of emotions, or he would be no different than all those he has fought against. "I wont let you take what I have left of my innocence. I would rather die."
"Even if it cost you your loved ones?" the cloaked man waived his hand as pictures of a fleeing 18, Marron, and his friends appeared. "Don't you want to save them. You can Krillin. You have the power, all you have to do is release it."
Krillin was struggling within. the prospect of killing buu was almost to good to be true. "And then what. If I let myself be consumed with hate, I may do something to hurt them myself."
the cloaked man began to walk toward Krillin. "Such is the nature with power. You have to choose Krillin. What do you really want. I can give you power, that would make Vegeta green with envy. I could make you more powerful than Goku could ever dream of becoming. It is all within your grasp, all you have to do is let go."
"NOOO!" Krillin charged at the image and struck it down.
Krillin now found himself back at the lookout. Severely injured and exhausted.
"You make good candy" Buu shot his weird energy beam from his tentacle. causing Krillin to be changed into a candy bar. Buu proceeded to eat him and everyone on the look out.
[alright now everything from here on is the same. Goku beats buu. the earth and all those who died are wished back. ect.]
in a small apartment in the city. a lone figure stood clenching a strange looking talasmin. (hmm, looks like Goku was successful. I will have to thank him sometime.) He had been really close to loosing all that he had worked so hard for. (If only he had accepted the power. He could have easily dealt with buu. It looks like more persuasion is necessary before I can get what I want.) he pondered for a while on how to best succeed in his mission, when he had a revelation.

She stoped when she saw that someone was waiting ouside. (I wonder who that is?) she asked herself as she stepped outside.
"Who are you?" 18 walked outside cautiously. She could since something about him that made her feel fear.
"Me I'm no one important. I wished to speak with you. I have information about your past I think you would like to hear about, but not here. If you want to learn, all you have to do is follow." with that he took toward the air.
18 was in shock. She had almost given up on learning about her past. She was unable to find anyone with any knowledge of her, and here this total stranger comes out of no wear and say's he can tell her about her past. So of course she followed him. She had to learn about her past no matter what kind of danger it put her in.
She had no idea how her actions that day could bring the world pain.
they landed on a high mountain. Far away from the island, and far away from anyone that would be able to hear or see them.
"Alright speak up what do you know about me?" 18 was growing impatient. She wanted to know now. Not follow this weird guy across the earth.
"hmm, impatient. Gero said you developed impatience, after he changed you of course." 18 was shocked.
"YOU KNEW DR.GERO!" she was getting furious. She hated Gero with a passion and if this guy turns out to be a friend of his.
"only by research. I assure you I had nothing to do with the late Dr. I only know of his research. For instance, I know of the power source that powers both you and your brother." Gero kept a very detailed log of all that had happend. From Jim's death. To there ultimate creation. he didn't leave out a single detail.
18 was devastated. Hearing all of her past, she wanted to doubt it, but in her heart she knew it was all true. "That bastard. How could he do this to me." She was almost on the brink of tears.
the cloaked man removed his hood. He was obviously a handsome man. Looked to be in his early 20's. He had light brown hair. Blue eye's, that despite the feel 18 got from him. Looked to display compassion. "I know what its like to lose a loved one 18. A long time ago I too lost something that would change me forever." He had flashbacks. Pictures of someone long ago dead. A beautiful Woman with long black hair. and deep green eyes. Eyes that displayed a love of all life. "But the world is cruel. There are few who really enjoy the life we all have, and even fewer who would die to defend it." But as soon as this brief sign of humanity entered his eye's, just as soon as it had left. (I will make them all pay for my pain)
"alright 18 now that I have told you what you wanted to know, its time for you to help me. You are going to deliver Krillin to me. Now this is what I want you to do." he began to explain his plan to 18. Who just looked at him in horror.
(How on earth would he believe I would do all this) She was furious at him, and was about to attack him. That was until he pulled out an amulet.
"Now 18 I knew you'd have misgivings about this. Now BOW TO ME!" the amulet began to glow a faint blue, and 18 found herself on the ground unable to move. "Listen well. You may not have a lot of the crystal inside you, but you do have it. That allows me to control you without question. Now I want you to do EXACTLY as I planned, Understood?"
from her currently subdued position, 18 found she couldn't struggle. Her body wasn't hers anymore. She had become simply a spectator in her own mind. However he didn't say she couldn't speak so she let him have it. She had to respond with a yes, but attached some very hateful and profane words to it.
"Sigh. Why must everyone I control have a dirty mouth. Now in order to have you not tip off Krillin. I want you to act like you hate him. I want you to insult him. I want you to act like you want this plan to go the way I want. now you may only answer with a yes. do you understand?" He was almost joking around with her. Normally he would be dead right now, but 18 couldn't do anything. She could only respond with the yes he wanted.
"Yes" 18 was fighting a loosing battle. She couldn't even fight, she didn't know what to fight,
he smirked. Finally things were going to go his way. "Good, now go fulfill my mission." with that 18 leapt to the sky, heading towards turtle island.
19 arrived at the island and instantly began to call for marron. (NO, STOP DONT DO THIS!!) she yelled at herself, but she didn't listen. Marron came outside. asking what she wanted.
Marron sort of sleepy eyed wondered what her mother could have wanted. "Yes mommy, did you want something?"
18 didn't waste any time, she quickly grabbed marron and proceeded to wait till everyone got back as per instructions. though he didn't say anything about how she should talk to marron. "Please, I'm so sorry, It's not me I cant control myself. Please forgive me for what's going to happen." 18 began to sob. She still had the liberty as Krillin wasn't there yet, and he said that she only had to act like she hated him around him.
Marron was confused. "What do you mean not in control? Mommy what's going on?"
(I cant bring myself to tell her. How could i be doing this. Why can't i stop this.) For the first time 18 felt helpless. She wasn't used to this feeling and it scared her. (I cant tell you. That if Krillin doesn't somehow stop me. I will kill you.) she thought is last few lines with sadness. Like it had already come to pass. "I'm so sorry." she cried for the next hour. That is until Krillin and all them returned to the island.
Krillin arrived at the island to see 18 standing outside holding there daughter. This didn't really surprise him. It was the look on 18's face that worried him. A look that he thought was gone from her forever. A hint of evil, hidden behind tear soaked eye's. "18 what's going on?"
18 now had no control over what she said and did. Her instructions were clear." (As much as I love you Krillin, I cant stop what's about to happen. You have to stop me.)
18 began to laugh. "Krillin so naive. You should have known that I was incapable of love. Now I am with someone else. Someone who appreciates my evil nature. And to celebrate were going to erase what tied me to you in the first place." (God what am i saying. Please don't believe a word of it Krillin. It's all lie's)
Krillin was having a hard time believing what she was saying. She had seamed perfectly happy here. On this little island. With her pride and joy, marron. With him. "W-what are y-you saying?" Krillin had hurt in his eye's a deep wound was opening. A scar that would most likely maim him for the rest of his life and afterlife.
18's mind no longer could see the world around her, it was to busy crying over what would come to pass. "I am taking marron with me, and soon we both wont have to look at her again." With that she took off into the air. Rather slowly though, like she wanted to be followed.
Krillin mind was trying to register all that had just happend. The only thing he was sure of right now was, that no matter the cost. He had to save Marron. He feared what was going to become of her, and he had to save 18. He was sure something was wrong. He trusted her with his life, and he is willing to trust that she would not do this of her own free will.
Without a second more thought he sped off and followed 18, and he must admit she was easy to follow.
the uncloaked cloaked man stood on the mountain. Laughing, (everything is falling into place. Now he will truly be born, and as my tool for destruction. I will bring suffering to the world. Kain my old friend, you may have changed since last I saw you, but you still will be mine).
