Chapter 2: A Shattered Peace

The explosion's origin seemed to be coming from the top of one of the mountains that stood in the background of West City. Screams could be heard from the streets, and Andy and Kanji ran behind Vegeta, who was facing the mountain.

"What was that?" Choazu cried.

"It was definitely a Ki blast of some sort." Krillen said.

"Bulma, get the kids inside. Kakorot, Katrin, lets go."

"I'm going too." Mirai said as we took to the air.

"Mama! Papa! Be careful!"

"You two stay inside with your grandmother, we'll be back soon." I called as the four of us headed toward the mountain.

"Just like old times, huh guys?" Goku asked as we flew.

"Hopefully not too much so." I said grimly as I sped up.

"What do you think it is?" Mirai asked to no one in particular.

"What's left? We've already faced every kind of threat there is." I said, trying to lighten the mood I had previously set with my grim retort. No one thought it was funny.

So we flew in awkward silence toward the smoking hillside. When we landed it was hard to tell that there had ever been a grassy hillside, all that was left was charred trees and burned ground. We landed and searched with our Ki for any signs of life, but came up with nothing that way.

"Do you think it left?"

"No, its here. It's covering up its Ki." I said, using my SG to feel out around the area, "Come out and face us! I know you're there!" I cried.

"Katie!" Goku hissed.

"Wouldn't it be better to know now than wait for it to hurt someone? Think about it Kakorot. It wanted us to come here."

"No, I just wanted her, but you can stay for the show as well." A figure stepped out from behind a tree and came forward. "After all, isn't that what this is? A show?" He was taller than me, wearing a robe, so I didn't see much of his form, his skin was yellow and his two eyes were little black dots in his large sockets. His robes were made out of a fabric that looked like silk, and they were black. He was nearly bald, except for one red ponytail that came from the top of his head. Otherwise, he looked human.

"Only in my home dimension." I hissed. I didn't like him one bit. He was too cocky and spiteful.

"Yes, a pity about that." He said, sounding bored.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

"Ooh, rude much?" he asked sarcastically, "I am Drazark, a wizard from the outer reaches of the galaxy, and I'm here for you." he said, pointing right at me.

"I didn't ask who you are, but what you want. Why do you want me?" I snapped back, though I had an idea as to what he wanted.

"You're the Angel Sayjin. I want your power, and I know how to get it."

Bingo! Why do I always have to be right?

"Well, you'll be sadly disappointed. I can't just give up my powers, the council would kill me."

"As compared to being killed by me?"

"And you really think you can kill her?" Vegeta snapped.

"Stay out of this, lower being." Well, you know how Vegeta is. He charged at Drazark, but he was easily smacked away. "I can fight, unlike those Majin wizards you've met in the past."

"How did you know about them?" Mirai asked.

"I have my ways."

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I've kinda missed all the fighting. How strong are you, wizard?" I snapped.

"Stronger than that supposed Super Sayjin 3. I know, I've studied it."

"I don't believe that one bit!" At that, Goku jumped to SSJ3 and went to fight Drazark. I watched in worry as I saw Goku slowly start to lose the fight. Drazark landed a good hit and knocked Goku through some trees, and he landed out of SSJ3 form.

I'll have to get Bulma to make that ray gun so they can become SSJ4.

"I tried to warn you." Drazark said, shaking his head.

"Well, it seems like I'll have to face you. Its about time I got another challenge, it's been 10 years since I've had a good fight." I said. I knew that this wouldn't be as easy as it first seemed. Nothing ever is here.

"Please, do." Drazark replied, bowing in mock respect. I powered up, skipping SSJ, digging deep for a reason to fight.

"I've lived here for 30 years, and I love this world. My family is here, and I won't let you take my powers so you can ruin it!"

I let it all go and I became the Angel Sayjin (A-SSJ for short, though technically it isn't a SSJ form) as I first did 10 years ago.

"Impressive, but can you still use it?"

"Its like riding a bike." I charged and we began to fight. He was stronger than SSJ3, but I was way stronger than he was. I was landing blows and dodging hits faster than he could try to attack.

"This is impossible! How could a mortal have so much power?"

"I'm not a mortal, I'm an Angel. You can't beat me. Do you even know what I am?"

"I could ask you the same. I'm a wizard of fire, and as such I can control flames with a mere thought."

"Really, that's it? So did Roxx, and look where he is. I can control fire, water, all the elements, plus the element of life. I'm nearly immortal in this form. You can ask Roxx when you get to the other side!"

He began fighting harder, but I barely noticed. He threw a fire-Ki ball at me, and I countered with a shield of water-Ki.

"Come on, Katie!" Goku cried. Drazark tried again, so I lowered my shield and threw it back at him.

"Finish him, Katrin!" Vegeta called. I remember Vegeta telling me that as a Sayjin I should take pride in my heritage, so that's why he calls Goku and me by our Sayjin names.

Drazark tried again and this time I let it hit. He seemed scared when he saw no damage done. By now he was out of breath and angry.

"I will take your power, one way or another. At first I thought I could kill you and take it, but now I see I'll have to try something different."

He said some chant in a language that seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. He waved his arms around and formed a ball of energy, but it didn't feel like Ki.

"What trick are you trying to pull, wizard? Do you think your little Ki ball is going to harm me? I can't even sense the Ki in it."

"This is no mere trick, girl." He smiled, reminding me of a snake and threw the ball at me.

"Katie, dodge it!" Mirai cried. I ignored him and let it hit, unscathed by the attack.

"What was that?" I said sarcastically.

"A spell. Black magic got me kicked off of my world, but it will bring upon your undoing." He shouted one last word in the foreign language and I felt something similar to an electric shock course through my body and mind.

My energy left me, and I fell to my knees. My legs felt like jelly, and my upper body felt heavy like lead.

"What the hell… did you do to me?" I asked as I fell onto the ground, blackness eating away at the edge of my vision. I heard laughter as I sank away into darkness.
