Chapter 8: Seiku Unveiled

SSJ3 Goku followed after Super 22, and was swept inside Seiku's cathedral. His head pivoted around, drinking in all his surroundings. His eyes finally came to a halt on the hellish altar. There stood Bra, but there was something different about this once gleeful teenager. Her eyes no longer brown, but filled with nothing but an azure light.

"Bra!" shouted SSJ3 Goku. SSJ3 Goku rushed toward the altar and came face-to-face with Vegeta's daughter. "Are you okay? What happened to you?" Bra stood firm, not replying to SSJ3 Goku. "Well? Can you speak?"

"Hahaha… the mighty Goku! I expected you to be a brute warrior. But apparently you are just the opposite." Chanted Bra. Goku raised an eyebrow, for he could hear Bra's voice, but he could also hear the echo of a strange voice. Another female voice, an unknown female voice.

"Bra? Is that you?" asked SSJ3 Goku, yet again. A wicked smile formed on Bra's face, when she lounged forward at Goku, her foot impacted into Goku's chest, knocking him into the ceiling.

"Grrr… you're not Bra! You're another Android!" barked Goku. Goku peeled himself off the ceiling, and landed on his feet.

"You don't know me? That makes me sad, Uncle Goku!" giggled Bra as an over exaggerated frown came over her face. "Now you die!" said Bra as she pounced upon Goku. Goku poised himself, and grabbed Bra's feet, and flung her into the altar. Bra's head smashed into the altar and it plopped over, and the precious Black AI Brain went rolling along the floor.

"Get it you moron!" shrieked Bra, pointing to the Black Orb. Super 22 rushed to the scene and scooped up the Black AI Brain. "Take it away! Number 22, I can handle this clown, go now!!" A smirk then spread across 22's face.

"No." he said frankly. Bra stood up, and dusted off her hair.

"Excuse me, did you just say, "no", Number 22?" demanded Bra. Goku stood, puzzled looking at them both.

"I don't know if your ears are clear, Master, but I did. But I'd like you to listen to this little diddle, eh?" slyly replied Super 22.

"Go on, Number 22." Beckoned Bra.

"Master, is it true that project O.M.E.G.A. will assimilate my perfect body into itself?" kindly requested Super 22.

"Tis' not your place to know that, Super 22, Now! Take the orb and go!" barked Bra yet again.

"Must I repeat myself Master? Answer my question, and I might obey." Said Super 22.

"Stop disobeying me, I CREATED YOU, GO!!" said Bra.

"No." said Super 22 slickly. "In faaact… I might give this little trinket to Goku, what say you, Master?" threatened Super 22.

"No! Put it down! I… I'll destroy you now!!" shouted Bra.

"You underestimate me, Master. I doubt you could even scratch me in that girl's body." Enlightened Super 22.

"An uprising idea, I s'pose all this secrecy is getting a bit… touchy… anyway. G'bye, Miss Bra."

"W…what are you doing! DON'T BRA!!" suddenly shouted Goku. But the inevitable had happened, Bra faded away in a dazzling show of pink ki, leaving only the pink outline of a slender female.

"Ah… just what I wanted you to do, Master. I appreciate this. By the way, thanks for the energy!!" Super 22 then made his move, his energy absorbing device extended, he prepared to take in his master's all. But just as he did so, the slender pink figure grabbed the wrist of Super 22, and pink shockwaves moved throughout his body, and he shrieked in pain.

"Stupid android, how dare you defy me! BEGONE!" said the figure. In yet another blinding pink light, Super 22 was a lifeless shell on the ground, and the Black Orb slipped out of his lifeless hand.

"You! You killed Bra! WHY? WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENTS!! YOU'RE A TOTAL MONSTER!! YOU EVEN DESTROYED YOUR OWN SERVANT!" screamed Goku at the top of his lungs.

"I can not help my actions, Goku. All I want is the end, but I, Madam Seiku, am the end!" stated the figure, which began to take it's true form. The mysterious Seiku was finally revealed, as a beautiful Asian woman. She wore an elegant black halter top, with a black skirt. And she had her long pink hair pinned in a tight bun atop her head. "I am afraid that my time is up Goku, It has been lovely chatting, but I have a world to destroy."

"Not so fast, you will pay, Seiku! For all of the blood you have spilled!" Goku charged at Seiku only to see her standing behind him.

"Please, Goku. You're out of your league, I know what you are going to do before you even do it." Pleaded Seiku. Seiku then held a small wand-like object in the air. A brilliant pink stream flowed from it, and ended in a point. "My own creation… you like it, Goku? You'll be the first I've tested it on, Hahah!" And then Seiku struck Goku with her whip, and he let out another scream of pain. Goku then attempted a more direct approached and began punching her. But to no avail, fighting this Maiden of Anguish was like fighting a puff of smoke. She dodged each and everyone of his pummeling assaults, and finally struck back with a ferocious punch. Which triggered the same pink shockwaves that destroyed Super 22, to surge through Goku.

"Wh…what's happening to me!" yowled Goku.

"It is my signature move, Goku. I call it, the "Maiden's Kiss". I hope you're ready to die, because it happens NOW!" And in an instant, he could here the maddening laugh of Seiku surging in his ears, and he saw his world slowly spiraling into the darkness…

Not to much of a delay in this chapter, huh?  Well, Seiku has been unveiled like I promised. But what will happen next? All in the next chapter, that is what!
