Chapter Seven – Eidolon knew Gohan was now vastly stronger than he
was as a Mystic Champion. He didn't mind that much. He liked the
idea of someone being able to access such power levels. But his
only concern was how he was going to reach the same level or even
beyond. Gohan had his Super Saiyan abilities as well as his Mystic
power to rely on. He sighed. Mystic seemed to have a second level
and Super Saiyans had at least 3 that they knew about, possibly
more. He had only his Darkness Flame which gave him the power to
exceed the Saiyans but not for long. Vegeta proved that the day
before when he nearly killed the Crystallite in a sparring session.
He claimed he wasn't trying. Eidolon knew it was just the warrior's
excuse for being beat. Barely, but beat just the same. He turned
and watched as Videl and Tein clashed again. Tein was massively
stronger than she was with the Darkness Flame raging around him. He
used the same exact powers Eidolon did only his enhanced potential
as a human is no where near that of a Crystallite's.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Videl cried as she dodged her opponent's kicks and punches. Tein used all of his tricks from being an experienced warrior to compensate for his opponent's massive advantage in speed. She blurred in and out of his sight and dodged everything he threw at her. He punched swiftly to his right but Videl blocked with both palms. The force of the blow knocked her upward slightly and she flipped hard to her left, avoiding Tein's following kick. Tein cursed and gathered his energy,
"Darkness Blight!" he yelled and launched the blast. Videl turn and saw the massive wave of Darkness about to hammer into her. She gathered her own energy.
"I have speed and you have strength but let's see who has the advantage in energy!" Videl cried as she powered her newest attack.
"What are you doing?" Tein demanded in shock. Videl dodged his Blight and jumped backwards a few yards to where they stood about 30 feet apart.
"Gotenks showed me this nice little kick move of his. It generates all of the wielder's ki into a single spot to where it's most concentrated. It puts off more ki than any average attack or even an attack under a ki fusion technique. He called the kick Spectrum Shock Kick. I learned the move easily enough but it takes too much energy to do safely without being fused and drawing power from more than one body. But I tweaked with it a bit and came up with this much more powerful attack!" Videl smirked. She gathered her ki and began powering up quickly. The earth shook below her as her power began to build. Her power level was dead even with Tein's until now, Eidolon noted. Her ki was rising out of even her control.
"She's doing it..." he whispered.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" she cried. A rainbow aura blazed around her and shifted from blue to purple to green and so on all across the spectrum. Her ki was impossible. Even for her being a Mystic.
"TRI-BEAM CANNON, DARKNESS EMPOWERED CHARGE UP NOOOOOOOWWW!!!" Tein yelled. He formed a ball the size of a basketball which powered up and formed a yellowish color and blazed into a purple-black swirling mix as he charged it with Darkness. His aura went dark and his eyes had a purple glint to them. Videl sensed his ki rising greatly but didn't seem to worry at all.
"It's ready! Spectrum Shock Wave!" Videl cried. She fired the blast. A massive wave of colors shifting across the spectrum came crashing at the Dark Human. Tein fired his Cannon and the swirling blast of Darkness surged forward in a flood of power. The attacks clashed and lightning spewed everywhere. Videl noted his Cannon's strength as he pushed strongly against her Wave. She powered it to maximum and watched as Tein was overran. He struck the Palace wall and coughed up some blood. He was old cold. Videl powered down, gasping for breath.
"That was awesome," Eidolon said, clapping as he approached the girl. She didn't know what to think. She didn't know the winged warrior that well and wasn't quite sure she trusted him yet.
"It takes everything you got though," she finally replied, bended over and grasping her knees. She was exhausted.
"Imagine..." he whispered.
"What?" she wondered.
"Imagine if I was to use that very same attack with all of mine own power," Eidolon answered.
"Or Gohan at his best," she laughed.
"Scary thought. Let us hope that will never have to be," Old Kai chuckled.
"What are you up to, old man?" Eidolon demanded. He knew the old man was a pervert and didn't trust him near a girl like Videl who would probably floor him anyways.
"Quite! You want to exceed your limits and you insult me when I come here to help you with that? HMPH! Some nerve!" Old Kai yelled.
"What are you babbling about?" Eidolon demanded.
"Watch your tongue! I'm here to talk more to Videl than you anyways," Old Kai said. He stuck out his tongue.
"What about?" Videl interrupted.
"A have been monitoring your progress, child. You may not be able to become a Mystic Champion yet but there is a way for you to gain more power. This is something no mere mortal knows about. Only the Kais know what I'm about to show you 2. Follow me," Old Kai said. He led them through the Palace and a maze of huge chambers and corridors. They opened the last set of massive stone doors and entered a chamber that appeared to be bigger than the Palace itself! They entered the middle of the chamber where a large pedestal rose. It hovered off of the ground with a blue sphere of magic blinking around it.
"What is that shield for? It's magic is massive," Eidolon wondered.
"I can sense it, too," Videl realized.
"These are the Blades of Ryi Rio-Din. Ryio-Din was the first Supreme Kai. He had great power. He spoke in Kai Histeries (Books of the History of the Kai Line) that the authority of a Kai lessens slightly as the race evolved itself. He had near complete control then. He could restore millions to life with a phrase and send millions to their death with equal ease. He could make entire systems of space vanish with a thought. He was a true Kai. An Ultima Kai. He created all of the Kai techniques we use today. The Mystic Ceremony, Kai Genocide, Ultima, Ultima Kai Genocide, Kai Flash, and even the Kai Fusion Earrings were all created by him. He started the Kai Line," Old Kai began. He coughed, clearing his throat.
"Nice story, but really? What is the point?" Eidolon said impatiently.
"The point is that he also created 5 Swords or Blades as he called them. The Z-Sword or the Blade of Spirit. It's purpose was to bring out a power in someone that couldn't be reached any other way. Which is why Gohan was chosen to wield it. Then came the Blade of Ultima, Ultima Kai's personal sword which within he stored all of his power. It worked much like a Saiyan Amethyst, storing all the Kai's might. Also known as the Ultima Weapon. Lost after his Passing, it is rumored in the Histeries that the Kai Line's true power will only be returned when a Kai finds and masters the Ultima Weapon. After that he made the Blade of Blight or called the Darkest Hour. Rumored to give a mortal or even a Kai a power up of unspeakable magnitude only if they have the power and potential within. But if the wielder cannon wield the Darkness within it correctly or safely, they may become subverted or destroyed. There was also the Blade of Heart. It turned the wielder's emotions into power in its purest form. Also called Empathy's Edge. The last is the Blade of Might which was long lost. It was the Blade Kais used to use. It bright back to the Kai whosoever wielded it, some of the long lost True Power that Ultima Kai stripped away. It was also called the Guardian Force," Old Kai said and cleared his throat again.
"Are these sword those Legendary Blades you're talking about?" Videl asked. Old Kai nodded and coughed again.
The hovering pedestal that lurked within the blinking sphere of magic had 2 swords embedded deep within its stone surface. The Z- sword was broken and laid behind the others upon the surface as well. The unbroken swords were designed beautifully. One was thicker and looked much sturdier. A broadsword with a pure ebony blade and hilt. It had a black spherical jewel in the shape of a dark orb encrusted into the very end of the hilt. It was like a black pearl. Another right across from it held a pinkish-purple blade and had a lavender orb at the end of its hilt. It was a smaller longsword made for speed and accuracy. Videl noticed a difference in the Z-sword. It had a blue-silver blade now and the hilt held a sapphire rob at its end. It was very beautiful.
"These are for you 2 if you can pull them free. The Blades each have a specific magic or force they search for in their wielder. The black-bladed Sword is the Darkest Hour. That should work well for you, Eidolon because of the Darkness Flame you wield so greatly. And the other is Empathy's Edge. It searches for one with the emotional strength and determination of the heart to wield it," Old Kai said. Eidolon stepped forth and reached for the sphere of magic. He was shocked upon contact and thrown back 40 feet across the room. He landed hard and formed a crater in the tiling.
"THAT'S IT!" the Crystallite fumed. "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" he cried as he flared his Darkness Flame. He charged the sphere and punched clear through it. It shattered and he took hold of the hilt of the Darkest Hour.
"Now search for every way to pull it free! Search your soul, your heart, your mind, and even your shadow for the answer!" Old Kai instructed.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried. His power level stormed high over Super Saiyan 3 level and rose greatly still. The entire chamber shook as he released his might. The Blade slipped a few inches and then a few more. Eidolon called forth everything he had and wrenched the Blade free. Black and purple lightning spewed across the room. His power level leveled and he stared at his Blade of Blight in wonder.
"You succeeded," Old Kai said proudly. Eidolon nodded. Videl, now confident, stepped forward. She cracked her knuckles and stretched her arms a bit.
"This is incredible," Eidolon whispered, checking out his Blade of Blight. Videl flared his aura around her and reached for the Blade of Heart. A new barrier emerged and blinked a deep redish-pink. This time ti magic shifted a bit and was much more massive. An entirely different power was needed to get through it. He touched the barrier and strained to pass through it as the field of magic pulsed against her. She was aware that she'd be knocked across the room if she didn't succeed. So she gathered all of her power and ignited it around her. The struggled lessened none at all. She began to see flashes of images and memories. She saw a kid on his knees with golden hair and jade eyes. Before him was Goku, also a Super Saiyan standing with one hand on some monstrous creature. She knew it was Cell. Cell was bloated to unimaginable size and his power was rising unstably. He was planning to blow himself up and take the Earth with him. The boy cried out words she could not hear and she watched as tears ran down his cheeks. Goku vanished after saying farewell. She knew what happened next. Goku died with Cell and the little boy had to Gohan. She felt a pain ping her heart as she struggled to reach her goal. Then she saw a new image. Gohan was a Super Saiyan still only his arm was twisted now. A dead thing hanging worthlessly to his side. He was engaged in combat with Cell yet again. This time it was a Kamehameha Wave battle. They both seemed deadlocked and each struggled to gain the upperhand. The other cried out, launching their attacks into Cell's back trying to give the first ever Super Saiyan 2 as much help as they possibly could. It was easy. She watched as Gohan reached within and threw forward more power still, overrunning Cell. He walked closer to the beast, power flaring higher and higher by the second. He was making sure he killed the monster once and for all. She watched as Cell died and as Gohan collapsed. He had succeeded.
"And so will I!" she cried as he reached within her heart and sent everything she had to give crashing forward. The barrier shattered and she grasped the hilt of the Empathy's Edge and freed the Sword. A lavender-pink aura blazed around her as her power level spiked for only an instant.
"You both have succeeded as I knew you would. These Blades are weapons and like all weapons, they are doubled-edged. They both hurt and help. Both save and destroy. Remember that," Old Kai said. Videl swung her sword and marveled on how easy it was and how natural it felt. It was like she was missing the weapon her entire life and could never be complete without it.
"How do we use their powers, old man?" Eidolon demanded.
"That will require much training. I bid you both the best if luck," Old Kai replied. He turned to leave.
"What are you talking about? You have to show us how to use these things!" Eidolon yelled.
"No. Only you can learn that. I have shown you the path and it is you who must walk it. But tread cautiously," Old Kai said as he left them alone. They followed him out of the Palace and immediately noticed the reaction of the Blades. Their jewels flared to life and faded as they detected to magic of the Kai System still intact. They were connected, Eidolon realized. Videl looked around and saw Krillin fighting both Tein and Yamcha at the same time. He was in Legendary Super Saiyan form and holding his own. They were a challenge one on one but now they held every advantage.
Krillin ducked a swipe from Tein and landed on the ground, backing up quickly. He dodged right as Yamcha appeared out of no where, attempting to spear the short warrior. Krillin launched himself upward and aimed both palms. He fired a barrage of ki blasts that rained down and hammered Yamcha senseless. Tein came out of no where and brought the back of he hand into his opponent's head. Krillin skidded across the dirt, digging a trench. He rolled right, sensing the dropping blow and rose quickly. He fired his Destructo Disk and Tein blasted through the air, weaving this way and that trying to shake the following Disk off.
Yamcha came to and charged Krillin head on. He kneed thw warrior in the chest and spun fast through the air. Krillin blocked with his forearm and then absorbed the next 4 blows as though they were nothing. He head butted Yamcha hard, knocking the Dark Human back a few yards. Tein came in fast, bringing the Destructo Disk in with him. He used his Darkness powers to vanish. The Disk came hard and strong at Krillin who simply smacked it upward into space. Tein appeared and he and Krillin clashed one on one in close combat.
"Who's stronger?" Videl wondered.
"One on one? Krillin by far. He is holding his own against both of them together and could probably slaughter either of them in a one on one actual fight," Eidolon assumed. Tein was kicked backwards and Krillin rolled into another roundhouse. Tein parried the blow and reversed the thrust. Krillin was thrown backwards and he recovered quickly enough. he sropped fast and Tein vanished. Krillin landed and looked around frantiacally for his opponent. He then closed his eyes and broadened his senses. He blocked hard to the right suddenly and elbowed Tein square in the face, knocking the Dark Human out cold. Yamcha apepared next, surprised at how easy Krillin dropped Tein and backed away in hesitation. He gathered his confidence and charged forward, channeling maximum Darkness to reach ulimate power. He powered up to his maximum and dropped Krillin with a single kick. Krillin flipped and landed on his feet after sailing a few hundred feet and flared his Legendary Super Saiyan aura. He frowned.
"So they were toying around, eh? Then let's take this up a knotch," Krillin said seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Tein said, appearing beside his fellow human warrior. Krillin ducked the blow and somersaulted backwards swiftly. He landed back on his feet and took a powering up stance.
"Haaaaaaaahhhh!" Krillin erupted. His muscles bulged and his eyes went from a blank teal to a deep jade. Small bolts of thin lightning sputtered throughout his aura which also changed. His aura was now flaming more fiercely and faster as it flooded upward around him. He was even a bit taller and his hair was standing up in thicker spikes. He was a Legendary Super Saiyan 2. His power level was amazing. Tein powered up all the way, knowing he was going to need everything he could summon up. He spun right and Yamcha spun left. Their movements were but blurs. Krillin blocked Tein's roundhouse with his forearm and flipped under Yamcha's high kick which nearly hammered Tein who launched himself backwards just in time. Krillin launched himself straight up through the air and stopped to hover about a half mile up. He aimed with hands and bombed the area. Yamcha and Tein dodged most of the attacks and flew slowly toward the Legendary Super Saiyan. Lightning flashed and thunder rocked the area as Yamcha and Tein clashed with Krillin in close combat.
"I could take them all without using my Darkness Flame," Eidolon smirked. Videl was watching the battle too closely to hear him. She snapped out of it and turned to face him.
"I'll bet you a bottle of the Kai's wine that you couldn't. Not without using your sword or your magic," Videl laughed. He raised his eyebrows and then laughed. He embedded his sword into the dirt and nodded. He flared his natural emerald around him and blasted off. He flashed forward the others and took a stance.
"What are you doing, kid?" Yamcha demanded.
"Shut up and listen, human. Videl down there bet me a bottle of the Kai's wine that I couldn't take all 3 of you on," Eidolon smirked.
"Easy bet. Your magic gives you every possible advantage," Krillin replied with a huff.
"That's just it. I'm not supposed to use my magic. I'll take you all 3 with just my natural strength," Eidolon said with a laughed.
"Okay, we except!" Yamcha cried. He flashed forward and Eidolon blocked the thrust. He struck the human with his wing and sent him crashing through the dirt. He wrapped his tail around Tein and elbowed him about 8 times in the face before he passed out himself. He slung him into a pond and turned his attention to the greatest challenge. He needed to take out those 2 first, he knew. Krillin alone would be a challenge. A Legendary Super Saiyan 2 and him not able to use his magic was a battle to take serious. He also knew if those 2 were together with the empowered human, he wouldn't have stood a chance. Tein groaned and pulled himself from the water. Eidolon bombed him with a final shot and dropped him for good. Yamcha staggered up but his legs were wobbly. He couldn't stand for shit. Krillin rolled intoa swift kick and Eidolon parried. Krillin's raw strength threw him back. He hit the Palace wall and dodged swiftly to avoid another blow. He kneed the human in the chest and then combined both fists, bringing them down on the human warrior. Krillin flew downward but flipped swiftly and landed on his feet with a massive thud. Eidolon summoned his natural ki and powered up all the way to maximum. He was still slightly weaker than Krillin in raw strength but he knew he had an advantage in speed by far.
"You're strong even without your Darkness Flame," Krillin laughed.
"Kinda. You became a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 back when you formed the Destructo Disk, right?" Eidolon replied.
"Yeah," Krillin answered. "Why?" "Can you do it again, now?" Eidolon demanded.
"Not really. It hurts like hell and I could only hold it for maybe 30 seconds," Krillin laughed. He attacked swiftly. Eidolon ducked, dodged, and parried everything and noted the sting. Krillin was just that much more powerful than he was. He was still faster, he knew. He landed 4 blows for every 1 of the empowered human warrior's and blocked 6 for every 1 Krillin countered. He was wearing the human down. They separated and lightning blazed. The caught their breath and clashed again. The Palace rocked a bit as they pounded the other senseless, forgetting defense. Krillin was hammered in the jaw and countered by nailing Eidolon hard in the temple. The Crystallite retaliated fast by head butting the human and ramming him into the dirt.
"RIPTO SHOCK!" Eidolon cried. He powered his blast with everything he had and bombed the human hard. Krillin appeared, unharmed. He rushed the Crystallite fast and hard. Eidolon dodged the best he could but Krillin's power level was rushing through the roof! He kneed Ragnarok hard and then rammed him into the ground. He powered up a massive Kamehameha Wave and aimed well. Eidolon struggled to his feet and smirked despite his humiliating defeat.
"Whoa!" Videl cried. She jerked as the Darkest Hour shifted and flew from the earth. Eidolon sensed a massive surge of Darkness rushing at him. He turned and caught the Darkest Hour by reflex. His Darkness Flame ignited automatically. He laughed as a new power flooded through him.
"Haaaaaaaahhhh!" Krillin cried and fired his massive blast. The energy flooded downward toward the empowered Crystallite. Eidolon took a defensive stance.
"DARKNEEST NIGHT! HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Eidolon wailed. His aura shifted from the normal purple-black to lavender flames with swirls of black flaming through it as emerald, ruby, sapphire, and lavender lightning pulsed from it. His power level rose as pure Darkness flooded his system.
"What the?!!" Krillin freaked as his Kamehame Wave struck a massive wall of black ki rushing toward him. His attack was cancelled out a hundred fold with ease. The massive wave hammered into Krillin and knocked him back. Eidolon lowered to attack's power until it faded to nothing. Krillin fell downwards where Gohan caught him. He, Shin, Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo emerged from wherever they trained at. Gohan restored Krillin to where he was stable and set him down, dazed.
"How did you do that?" Gohan wondered. He noticed the Darkest Hour. Shin realized it. Eidolon explained. Videl walked over and swung her own Blade in a wide ark. Purple lightning spewed from the blade. Gohan smiled.
"This isn't even maximum strength," Eidolon whispered in wonder.
"Let's test it out," Gohan smirked with excitement at the thought of a challenge.
"Something to put your Mystic Champion powers to the test?" Eidolon laughed.
"Something like that," Gohan smirked.
"No. You need to train and master the Darkest Hour before trying to go into combat with it!" Shin yelled.
"Why?" Gohan wondered.
"Because he needs to learn to channel the magic perfectly or the power could kill him," Shin replied. Eidolon nodded. Videl swept her Blade around and Eidolon parried with his own. Lightning exploded and the Weapons vibrated hard. The power faded and Videl brought hers back to look at it in wonder. They realized night was falling fast about them.
"I'm exhausted," Goku said finally.
"Then let us all turn in. We need to be at maximum strength if we are to train twice are hard tomorrow," Vegeta stated. They all left except for Eidolon, Gohan, and Videl.
"Gohan, you used the Z-sword, right? The Spirit Blade (Blade of Spirit) right? Could you teach me how to use this?" Videl asked. Gohan nodded. She handed him to Weapon and sparks flew as soon as he made contact. His hand burned. He cooled it by waving it in the winds really fast.
"Let me see that," Eidolon asked. He could touch her Blade without any complications.
"Maybe the Mystic magic rejects the Blade's?" the Crystallite wondered.
"No because I'm a Mystic, too!" Videl answered.
"I know why. My own Weapon was snapped long ago because I wielded it incorrectly. The magic doesn't reject mine, it rejects me," Gohan replied. He shifted his gaze to the sky. He missed having his sword in his hands.
"Call for it," Eidolon said.
"What?" Gohan wondered.
"Call the Spirit Blade. Call the Omega Force to you with your soul," Eidolon said. He tossed his sword away with all his might. He sailed hundreds of miles into orbit.
"What the?" Videl said.
"Darkest Hour!" Eidolon cried. His sword flashed into existence in his hands. He swiped it around and lightning flashed.
"Omega Force!" Gohan yelled. His hands vibrated. Then came the Z- sword. It was no longer broken.
"That's what he meant! Supreme Kai told me that after the Z-sword was broken, that only in the hands of the lord and master shall 2 become one again. He was talking about me summoning it and restoring it," Gohan said in surprise.
"Can you use it?" Eidolon asked.
"Let's find out!" Gohan spread his legs and focused his power. The blue jewel at the end of the hilt blazed alight as Gohan invoked the magic. He instantly flared into his Mystic Champion body and his power level rose even higher than it was when he struggled against Ultimate Buu. It was beyond Ultimate Buu's power! Even after the demon had taken Tein, Yamcha, Legendary Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, and even Eidolon, he was still stronger. Then came the flash. The warrior who emerged was not Gohan. It was a Legend unlike anything they had ever seen before.
Gohan activated the Omega Force's true power for the first and transformed. But into what? And Videl will finally activate her own Blade's might. What will be the result? And what will happen if Eidolon pushed the Darkest Hour's power as far as it will go? Will he become corrupted or will be ascend? Find out next time on DragonballZ!
Author - Hey again. They chapter was mostly to explain the Weapons and their powers. Let me know what you all think so far. And tell me if you all think Eidolon and Android 18 would make a good couple. I'm thinking about trying it out but let me know what you all think before I do. Laterz.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Videl cried as she dodged her opponent's kicks and punches. Tein used all of his tricks from being an experienced warrior to compensate for his opponent's massive advantage in speed. She blurred in and out of his sight and dodged everything he threw at her. He punched swiftly to his right but Videl blocked with both palms. The force of the blow knocked her upward slightly and she flipped hard to her left, avoiding Tein's following kick. Tein cursed and gathered his energy,
"Darkness Blight!" he yelled and launched the blast. Videl turn and saw the massive wave of Darkness about to hammer into her. She gathered her own energy.
"I have speed and you have strength but let's see who has the advantage in energy!" Videl cried as she powered her newest attack.

"TRI-BEAM CANNON, DARKNESS EMPOWERED CHARGE UP NOOOOOOOWWW!!!" Tein yelled. He formed a ball the size of a basketball which powered up and formed a yellowish color and blazed into a purple-black swirling mix as he charged it with Darkness. His aura went dark and his eyes had a purple glint to them. Videl sensed his ki rising greatly but didn't seem to worry at all.
"It's ready! Spectrum Shock Wave!" Videl cried. She fired the blast. A massive wave of colors shifting across the spectrum came crashing at the Dark Human. Tein fired his Cannon and the swirling blast of Darkness surged forward in a flood of power. The attacks clashed and lightning spewed everywhere. Videl noted his Cannon's strength as he pushed strongly against her Wave. She powered it to maximum and watched as Tein was overran. He struck the Palace wall and coughed up some blood.

He was shocked upon contact and thrown back 40 feet across the room. He landed hard and formed a crater in the tiling.
"THAT'S IT!" the Crystallite fumed. "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" he cried as he flared his Darkness Flame. He charged the sphere and punched clear through it. It shattered and he took hold of the hilt of the Darkest Hour.
"Now search for every way to pull it free! Search your soul, your heart, your mind, and even your shadow for the answer!" Old Kai instructed.
"HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Eidolon cried. His power level stormed high over Super Saiyan 3 level and rose greatly still. The entire chamber shook as he released his might. The Blade slipped a few inches and then a few more. Eidolon called forth everything he had and wrenched the Blade free. Black and purple lightning spewed across the room. His power level leveled and he stared at his Blade of Blight in wonder.
"You succeeded," Old Kai said proudly. Eidolon nodded. Videl, now confident, stepped forward. She cracked her knuckles and stretched her arms a bit.
"This is incredible," Eidolon whispered, checking out his Blade of Blight. Videl flared his aura around her and reached for the Blade of Heart. A new barrier emerged and blinked a deep redish-pink. This time ti magic shifted a bit and was much more massive. An entirely different power was needed to get through it. He touched the barrier and strained to pass through it as the field of magic pulsed against her. She was aware that she'd be knocked across the room if she didn't succeed. So she gathered all of her power and ignited it around her. The struggled lessened none at all. She began to see flashes of images and memories. She saw a kid on his knees with golden hair and jade eyes. Before him was Goku, also a Super Saiyan standing with one hand on some monstrous creature. She knew it was Cell. Cell was bloated to unimaginable size and his power was rising unstably. He was planning to blow himself up and take the Earth with him. The boy cried out words she could not hear and she watched as tears ran down his cheeks. Goku vanished after saying farewell. She knew what happened next. Goku died with Cell and the little boy had to Gohan. She felt a pain ping her heart as she struggled to reach her goal. Then she saw a new image. Gohan was a Super Saiyan still only his arm was twisted now. A dead thing hanging worthlessly to his side. He was engaged in combat with Cell yet again. This time it was a Kamehameha Wave battle. They both seemed deadlocked and each struggled to gain the upperhand. The other cried out, launching their attacks into Cell's back trying to give the first ever Super Saiyan 2 as much help as they possibly could. It was easy. She watched as Gohan reached within and threw forward more power still, overrunning Cell. He walked closer to the beast, power flaring higher and higher by the second. He was making sure he killed the monster once and for all. She watched as Cell died and as Gohan collapsed. He had succeeded.
"And so will I!" she cried as he reached within her heart and sent everything she had to give crashing forward. The barrier shattered and she grasped the hilt of the Empathy's Edge and freed the Sword. A lavender-pink aura blazed around her as her power level spiked for only an instant.
"You both have succeeded as I knew you would. These Blades are weapons and like all weapons, they are doubled-edged. They both hurt and help. Both save and destroy. Remember that," Old Kai said. Videl swung her sword and marveled on how easy it was and how natural it felt. It was like she was missing the weapon her entire life and could never be complete without it.
"How do we use their powers, old man?" Eidolon demanded.
"That will require much training. I bid you both the best if luck," Old Kai replied. He turned to leave.
"What are you talking about? You have to show us how to use these things!" Eidolon yelled.
"No. Only you can learn that. I have shown you the path and it is you who must walk it. But tread cautiously," Old Kai said as he left them alone. They followed him out of the Palace and immediately noticed the reaction of the Blades. Their jewels flared to life and faded as they detected to magic of the Kai System still intact. They were connected, Eidolon realized. Videl looked around and saw Krillin fighting both Tein and Yamcha at the same time. He was in Legendary Super Saiyan form and holding his own. They were a challenge one on one but now they held every advantage.
Krillin ducked a swipe from Tein and landed on the ground, backing up quickly. He dodged right as Yamcha appeared out of no where, attempting to spear the short warrior. Krillin launched himself upward and aimed both palms. He fired a barrage of ki blasts that rained down and hammered Yamcha senseless. Tein came out of no where and brought the back of he hand into his opponent's head. Krillin skidded across the dirt, digging a trench. He rolled right, sensing the dropping blow and rose quickly. He fired his Destructo Disk and Tein blasted through the air, weaving this way and that trying to shake the following Disk off.
Yamcha came to and charged Krillin head on. He kneed thw warrior in the chest and spun fast through the air. Krillin blocked with his forearm and then absorbed the next 4 blows as though they were nothing. He head butted Yamcha hard, knocking the Dark Human back a few yards. Tein came in fast, bringing the Destructo Disk in with him. He used his Darkness powers to vanish. The Disk came hard and strong at Krillin who simply smacked it upward into space. Tein appeared and he and Krillin clashed one on one in close combat.
"Who's stronger?" Videl wondered.
"One on one? Krillin by far. He is holding his own against both of them together and could probably slaughter either of them in a one on one actual fight," Eidolon assumed. Tein was kicked backwards and Krillin rolled into another roundhouse. Tein parried the blow and reversed the thrust. Krillin was thrown backwards and he recovered quickly enough. he sropped fast and Tein vanished. Krillin landed and looked around frantiacally for his opponent. He then closed his eyes and broadened his senses. He blocked hard to the right suddenly and elbowed Tein square in the face, knocking the Dark Human out cold. Yamcha apepared next, surprised at how easy Krillin dropped Tein and backed away in hesitation. He gathered his confidence and charged forward, channeling maximum Darkness to reach ulimate power. He powered up to his maximum and dropped Krillin with a single kick. Krillin flipped and landed on his feet after sailing a few hundred feet and flared his Legendary Super Saiyan aura. He frowned.
"So they were toying around, eh? Then let's take this up a knotch," Krillin said seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Tein said, appearing beside his fellow human warrior. Krillin ducked the blow and somersaulted backwards swiftly. He landed back on his feet and took a powering up stance.
"Haaaaaaaahhhh!" Krillin erupted. His muscles bulged and his eyes went from a blank teal to a deep jade. Small bolts of thin lightning sputtered throughout his aura which also changed. His aura was now flaming more fiercely and faster as it flooded upward around him. He was even a bit taller and his hair was standing up in thicker spikes. He was a Legendary Super Saiyan 2. His power level was amazing. Tein powered up all the way, knowing he was going to need everything he could summon up. He spun right and Yamcha spun left. Their movements were but blurs. Krillin blocked Tein's roundhouse with his forearm and flipped under Yamcha's high kick which nearly hammered Tein who launched himself backwards just in time. Krillin launched himself straight up through the air and stopped to hover about a half mile up. He aimed with hands and bombed the area. Yamcha and Tein dodged most of the attacks and flew slowly toward the Legendary Super Saiyan. Lightning flashed and thunder rocked the area as Yamcha and Tein clashed with Krillin in close combat.
"I could take them all without using my Darkness Flame," Eidolon smirked. Videl was watching the battle too closely to hear him. She snapped out of it and turned to face him.
"I'll bet you a bottle of the Kai's wine that you couldn't. Not without using your sword or your magic," Videl laughed. He raised his eyebrows and then laughed. He embedded his sword into the dirt and nodded. He flared his natural emerald around him and blasted off. He flashed forward the others and took a stance.
"What are you doing, kid?" Yamcha demanded.
"Shut up and listen, human. Videl down there bet me a bottle of the Kai's wine that I couldn't take all 3 of you on," Eidolon smirked.
"Easy bet. Your magic gives you every possible advantage," Krillin replied with a huff.
"That's just it. I'm not supposed to use my magic. I'll take you all 3 with just my natural strength," Eidolon said with a laughed.
"Okay, we except!" Yamcha cried. He flashed forward and Eidolon blocked the thrust. He struck the human with his wing and sent him crashing through the dirt. He wrapped his tail around Tein and elbowed him about 8 times in the face before he passed out himself. He slung him into a pond and turned his attention to the greatest challenge. He needed to take out those 2 first, he knew. Krillin alone would be a challenge. A Legendary Super Saiyan 2 and him not able to use his magic was a battle to take serious. He also knew if those 2 were together with the empowered human, he wouldn't have stood a chance. Tein groaned and pulled himself from the water. Eidolon bombed him with a final shot and dropped him for good. Yamcha staggered up but his legs were wobbly. He couldn't stand for shit. Krillin rolled intoa swift kick and Eidolon parried. Krillin's raw strength threw him back. He hit the Palace wall and dodged swiftly to avoid another blow. He kneed the human in the chest and then combined both fists, bringing them down on the human warrior. Krillin flew downward but flipped swiftly and landed on his feet with a massive thud. Eidolon summoned his natural ki and powered up all the way to maximum. He was still slightly weaker than Krillin in raw strength but he knew he had an advantage in speed by far.
"You're strong even without your Darkness Flame," Krillin laughed.
"Kinda. You became a Legendary Super Saiyan 3 back when you formed the Destructo Disk, right?" Eidolon replied.
"Yeah," Krillin answered. "Why?" "Can you do it again, now?" Eidolon demanded.
"Not really. It hurts like hell and I could only hold it for maybe 30 seconds," Krillin laughed. He attacked swiftly. Eidolon ducked, dodged, and parried everything and noted the sting. Krillin was just that much more powerful than he was. He was still faster, he knew. He landed 4 blows for every 1 of the empowered human warrior's and blocked 6 for every 1 Krillin countered. He was wearing the human down. They separated and lightning blazed. The caught their breath and clashed again. The Palace rocked a bit as they pounded the other senseless, forgetting defense. Krillin was hammered in the jaw and countered by nailing Eidolon hard in the temple. The Crystallite retaliated fast by head butting the human and ramming him into the dirt.
"RIPTO SHOCK!" Eidolon cried. He powered his blast with everything he had and bombed the human hard. Krillin appeared, unharmed. He rushed the Crystallite fast and hard. Eidolon dodged the best he could but Krillin's power level was rushing through the roof! He kneed Ragnarok hard and then rammed him into the ground. He powered up a massive Kamehameha Wave and aimed well. Eidolon struggled to his feet and smirked despite his humiliating defeat.
"Whoa!" Videl cried. She jerked as the Darkest Hour shifted and flew from the earth. Eidolon sensed a massive surge of Darkness rushing at him. He turned and caught the Darkest Hour by reflex. His Darkness Flame ignited automatically. He laughed as a new power flooded through him.
"Haaaaaaaahhhh!" Krillin cried and fired his massive blast. The energy flooded downward toward the empowered Crystallite. Eidolon took a defensive stance.
"DARKNEEST NIGHT! HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Eidolon wailed. His aura shifted from the normal purple-black to lavender flames with swirls of black flaming through it as emerald, ruby, sapphire, and lavender lightning pulsed from it. His power level rose as pure Darkness flooded his system.
"What the?!!" Krillin freaked as his Kamehame Wave struck a massive wall of black ki rushing toward him. His attack was cancelled out a hundred fold with ease. The massive wave hammered into Krillin and knocked him back. Eidolon lowered to attack's power until it faded to nothing. Krillin fell downwards where Gohan caught him. He, Shin, Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo emerged from wherever they trained at. Gohan restored Krillin to where he was stable and set him down, dazed.
"How did you do that?" Gohan wondered. He noticed the Darkest Hour. Shin realized it. Eidolon explained. Videl walked over and swung her own Blade in a wide ark. Purple lightning spewed from the blade. Gohan smiled.
"This isn't even maximum strength," Eidolon whispered in wonder.
"Let's test it out," Gohan smirked with excitement at the thought of a challenge.
"Something to put your Mystic Champion powers to the test?" Eidolon laughed.
"Something like that," Gohan smirked.
"No. You need to train and master the Darkest Hour before trying to go into combat with it!" Shin yelled.
"Why?" Gohan wondered.
"Because he needs to learn to channel the magic perfectly or the power could kill him," Shin replied. Eidolon nodded. Videl swept her Blade around and Eidolon parried with his own. Lightning exploded and the Weapons vibrated hard. The power faded and Videl brought hers back to look at it in wonder. They realized night was falling fast about them.
"I'm exhausted," Goku said finally.
"Then let us all turn in. We need to be at maximum strength if we are to train twice are hard tomorrow," Vegeta stated. They all left except for Eidolon, Gohan, and Videl.
"Gohan, you used the Z-sword, right? The Spirit Blade (Blade of Spirit) right? Could you teach me how to use this?" Videl asked. Gohan nodded. She handed him to Weapon and sparks flew as soon as he made contact. His hand burned. He cooled it by waving it in the winds really fast.
"Let me see that," Eidolon asked. He could touch her Blade without any complications.
"Maybe the Mystic magic rejects the Blade's?" the Crystallite wondered.
"No because I'm a Mystic, too!" Videl answered.
"I know why. My own Weapon was snapped long ago because I wielded it incorrectly. The magic doesn't reject mine, it rejects me," Gohan replied. He shifted his gaze to the sky. He missed having his sword in his hands.
"Call for it," Eidolon said.
"What?" Gohan wondered.
"Call the Spirit Blade. Call the Omega Force to you with your soul," Eidolon said. He tossed his sword away with all his might. He sailed hundreds of miles into orbit.
"What the?" Videl said.
"Darkest Hour!" Eidolon cried. His sword flashed into existence in his hands. He swiped it around and lightning flashed.
"Omega Force!" Gohan yelled. His hands vibrated. Then came the Z- sword. It was no longer broken.
"That's what he meant! Supreme Kai told me that after the Z-sword was broken, that only in the hands of the lord and master shall 2 become one again. He was talking about me summoning it and restoring it," Gohan said in surprise.
"Can you use it?" Eidolon asked.
"Let's find out!" Gohan spread his legs and focused his power. The blue jewel at the end of the hilt blazed alight as Gohan invoked the magic. He instantly flared into his Mystic Champion body and his power level rose even higher than it was when he struggled against Ultimate Buu. It was beyond Ultimate Buu's power! Even after the demon had taken Tein, Yamcha, Legendary Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, and even Eidolon, he was still stronger. Then came the flash. The warrior who emerged was not Gohan. It was a Legend unlike anything they had ever seen before.
Gohan activated the Omega Force's true power for the first and transformed. But into what? And Videl will finally activate her own Blade's might. What will be the result? And what will happen if Eidolon pushed the Darkest Hour's power as far as it will go? Will he become corrupted or will be ascend? Find out next time on DragonballZ!
