Hey, everyone! Sorry there's been such a delay, but I've just been busy again. Life, go figure. Also, shoutout to all the Sox fans. We dem boyz! 5 - 1 all the wayyyyy!

Back to the story, this chapter is especially long, so I made the conscious decision of splitting it into two parts. Part 2 shouldn't be far off (can't make any promises), but in the meantime enjoy this chapter. Thanks as always, guys! If you like this story, feel free to follow, favorite, and review. Peace.

Having captured Bulma, the would-be world conquerors of the Pilaf Gang now face off against our gang of titular heroes… but will everything go so smoothly…?

"T-This can't be happening! Unhand us, you… you dastardly f-fiends! I am the great Emperor Pilaf! I can't be defeated by a mere rag-tag, get-together of troublesome, devious children!" The obnoxious blue creature cried out in pitiful vain as he and his two companions were quickly tied up together by Sona's compressed magical rope. Unable to budge a muscle, the trio could only sit on the cold floor and whimper.

The cool devil, Sona, pushed back her glasses, then turned to Rias. "So, should we just wipe away their memories? I have a feeling it'd be troublesome to leave them as they are."

Using a magical circle to teleport inside the discovered castle, located by the Dragon Radar, Rias and the rest of the fellow company easily overwhelmed their non-magical opponents. Promptly, Sairaorg and Goku to both used their above-average strength to free the captured Bulma, who was being held in the air by a large metal claw.

"Took you all long enough!" She flashed the group a bright smile. "Thanks!"

"Ha Ha Ha! What makes you so sure that we came for your sake? You've still got that one Dragon Ball, right?" Rias shot the girl a cunning, adorable grin in response.

The blue-haired teenager crossed her arms and pouted. "No need to be so mean about it."

"Oh don't be so dramatic, lady. However, be that as it may," Rias turned and rubbed Goku's hair, "we're one ball short, still. We've got six out of the total seven."

"Yeah, about that." Bulma took back the Dragon Radar from Sairaorg, wearing an uncharacteristically unsure expression. "You know how you guys have been able to hide your Dragon Balls from my radar, say except Goku?"

Rias crossed her arms, unsure of where Bulma was going with this. "I suppose… but what of it?"

"Well… no matter how hard I've been looking for the last Dragon Ball, I've gotten nothing. It's almost like someone is perfectly hiding the Seven-Star Ball."

Suddenly, as they were conversing, an intense tremor violently shook Emperor Pilaf's castle stronghold, surprising everyone present.

"What was that?!" Shouted Oolong.

"Good question." A cruel, mysterious voice answered before the world around them was suddenly engulfed in a blinding green light…

Chapter 12 (Part 1): Full Moon

Slowly, Akeno—a young, beautiful half-fallen angel girl—opened her eyes, trying to fight against the heavy drowsiness that currently held over her like some sort of malicious spell. From what she could tell, they were no longer in the castle… almost as if they had been teleported outside. Though it appeared to be night, there were no stars or moon in sight…

"Akeno, you okay?" It was Goku. The boy kindly helped the girl to her feet, then checked up on his other friends. "Rias, you okay, too?" He pat the devil on her back.

"Thank you, Goku. I'm fine—" Suddenly, the crimson haired princess felt her voice go out as she and the others soon realized, currently, that they were not alone…

"Wake up, kiddies! You definitely won't want to miss the show." High above the group, three figures floated in the air, surrounded by an entire army, clad in dark armor and gear.

The man on the left had a sickly, grey colored skin tone, and held his long black hair tied back in a simple ponytail; his companion, taking the middle, held a relaxed expression, although his basic demeanor radiated with unbelievable malice; and on the right floated a tanned woman, wearing glasses and a low-cut dress with a high slit.

She flashed a cruel grin, directed at Sona. "Hiya, girlie."

The poor girl shook her head, horrified and equally bewildered. "The one descended from the blood of the previous Leviathan, Katerea Leviathan. W-Why are you here? What is the meaning of all this?"

"H-Hey, who are these guys?" Bulma hid behind Sairaorg, petrified.

"Devils?" Suddenly, Goku unknowingly answered her question with his wonders.

The supposed ringleader, floating in the middle of his demonic comrades, raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise. "Oh… you can tell?" Even Goku's own team members looked shocked.

"What?" He shrugged, unsure of why everybody was so surprised. "They feel similar to Rias, Sona, and Sairaorg… they're just a whole lot stronger…"

"Of course we are, you shitty little human." The devil on the left crackled with an ugly, harrowing laughter. "Your friends are but children. Sad, pathetic children."

"D-D-Devils?!" Stuttered a frightened Bulma.

"I-I'm g-g-gonna die!" Oolong grabbed the sides of his head and began to weep, pitifully.

Shocked beyond mere comprehension, all three members of the Pilaf Gang instantly passed out, still tied together by Sona's magical binds.

"Rias Gremory, listen well." The one in the middle pushed away at his fur cape, pointing a finger down at the Crimson Princess. "We are members of the Old Maou Faction, the true inheritors to the underworld's throne that your waste-of-a brother's currently found his inbred hands on."

Rias's pretty, blue eyes widened. "…A coup d'état! The Old Maou Faction, you're all starting a rebellion against the New Maou Faction?! Why?! And what is it that you want from us?!"

"Please," he snarled, "don't talk like that stupid brother of yours!" Opening his hands, a swirl of magic manifested itself into a group of orbs, revealed all seven Dragon Balls, afloat midair.

"You…!" Rias panicked, then used her own magic to try and spawn the orbs in. Nothing happened, and a cold sweat ran down her neck. "Impossible…"

The devil above laughed, then slowly began his descent towards the ground. "Coincidentally, the plan and everything went a little too well. We simply needed the Dragon Balls, and you and your little friends went out of your way to collect them all for us."

As he continued to berate the group, he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a stream of green, magical chains erupted from beneath the ground, coiling around Rias and the others like a nest of terrifying snakes. In a matter of seconds, everyone was pinned down to the ground.

"GHAA!"

"AHHH!"

"EEEE!"

"R-Rias, Sona, I… I can't move!" Sairaorg grunted with pain as he struggled against the elemental binds, immensely straining him.

"What the heck?!" Goku even tried biting at the magical chains, but nothing was budging.

"Using the almighty wish-granting Shenron, we'll destroy this present world, then rebuild it up from the scathing remnants, perfecting it from scratch. That way, we'll be the ones to manage this new, brave world. It'll be a paradise for devils, and devils alone." He creepily smiled, perhaps imagining his twisted utopia. "We originally asked some human villains for their services… but got a little too impatient and decided we'd simply capture the seven orbs ourselves."

Using psychic telekinesis, he sat all seven Dragon Balls down on the ground, right in front him. His two comrades joined his side, while the army of rogue devils began cheering from above.

["Hail the Old Maou Faction, hail the Old Maou Faction, hail the Old Maou Faction!"]

"T-This is a nightmare." Choked up Akeno.

Seeing the loss of hope in her new friend's expression, Rias struggled to try and stop herself from shedding tears. "I-I'm so sorry, everyone." They were useless, completely and utterly useless. In collecting six of the seven Dragon Balls, they had unknowingly assisted a madman, and his army, in completing their malicious goals…

Their adventure… was all over…

"To think you'd make my little Rias-tan cry. You shouldn't have done that, my old acquaintances…" Suddenly, a flash of bright crimson light appeared throughout the premises, surrounding everyone and everything. Out of the sky, another force of devils descended upon the Old Maou Faction. Devil warriors, clad in red armor.

"Reinforcements?! Why're the New Maou Faction here?!" Some of the soldiers, above, instantly began to panic. Immediately, the sky violently erupted with flashy bout of combat, as devils began to violently attack and combat other devils.

In less than a second, it was full on war.

Suddenly, in front of Rias and the others, three figures formed out of the deployed magic circle. The first to fully appear was a handsome man, probably in his early 20's, with shoulder length crimson hair that ran down the sides of his pale neck and blue-green eyes. He wore extravagant armor and radiated with an indescribable power.

"Yo, my Rias-tan" He chuckled and winked at the young girl.

"Big Brother?!" The princess screamed back, shocked.

Snapping his pale fingers, the stranger caused the green chains holding Rias and the others, together, to suddenly disintegrate and quickly fall apart, magically disappearing in the air.

"Rias, we're going to have a little talk… later. Your mother is especially in a foul mood, thanks in no part to your recent antics." A beautiful woman, appearing to be in similar age, with silver hair and red eyes, appeared besides him. She wore a blue and white French maid outfit.

"A-Am I in heaven…?" Muttered Oolong, awestruck by the silver haired devil's incredible beauty.

"Heaven?! Oh goodness, how absurd!" Suddenly, a green magical circle revealed one more beautiful girl looking to be in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and blue eyes. "As if heaven would have anything to do with us cool devils!" Though she appeared to have a younger girl's body, her large breasts suggested otherwise. "Yo-ho, my Sona-tan!"

"Big Sister, Serafall?!" Shouted Sona, equally surprised.

At the sight of the three devils and their unstoppable army, one of Old Maou Faction leaders, the grey one, shrieked in an ugly, vengeful tone: "Y-You dare show your face here, faker?!"

Rias's brother, whom the group assumed to be the leader, turned upwards, then slowly flew up into the air to join his turned brethren. "Cruzerey, Katerea, Shalba… there's still time for you three to stop this madness. Surrender immediately, and we can still negotiate."

"As if we'd negotiate with a filthy impostor," the one named Cruzerey snarled, "you unmitigated, foul twit! You, your joke of a queen, and that bratty sister can all perish here and now, begging for mercy!"

With an erie, almost methodical manner, Sirzechs raised his right hand and pointed it directly towards the devil who threatened him and his family. Suddenly, an intense pressure of demonic power started to gather, and his body began to glow with a frightening aura. Unlike his inexperienced sister, this was the refined version of the Power of Destruction.

Sirzechs sighed, then spoke with a strong tone: "Cruzerey, as a Maou, I will eliminate anyone who becomes a threat to the Underworld." His eyes bathed in crimson red. "And I will certainly destroy anyone who dares threaten the people I love."

"You dare use the name Maou!" Cruzerey shrieked, vehemently with madness, before releasing his own wave of huge demonic power, firing a ray of yellow beams from both his hands.

BANG! GUUUUUN! Cruzerey's attack did nothing, simply perishing into the red void after merely touching Sirzech's demonic aura. Taking advantage of the sudden opening, Sirzechs fired another spheres of power of destruction, sending it straight into Cruzerey's lower abdomen.

BOOM!

"Gah?!" He cried out, vomiting a stream of his own blood.

"Wow, crazy!" Below the fight, Goku shook from both fear and unexplainable excitement.

Rias nodded her head, equally amazed. "It's one of the reasons my brother was chosen as a Maou. That overwhelming power of destruction, it eliminates anything and everything it touches. Even if it the amount he's using is small, it still has outrageous power."

"D-Damn you… Just like you!" Tears of blood flowed down his paled face. "W-Why do those who carry the name of Lucifer become blessed with such powers…!?" Even if it was just one tiny blast, Cruzerey had lost his entire stomach; since the power of destruction was still an overwhelming force. "…..W-Why…. Why does the real one have to lose against a-a fake…"

Unsympathetic to the villain, Sirzechs swung down his arm, slowly.

Like watching a corpse decay at a frightening speed, Cruzerey's whole body was eaten away by the spherical ball of destruction, till there was nothing left but ash in the cold winds.

"C-Cruzerey!" Katerea panicked, terrified of Sirzechs's strength.

The other, remaining foot soldiers of the Old Maou Faction, too, began to lose their confidence. Their numbers had been suddenly reduced to less than a third, thanks to Sirsechs's forces, and they had just lost a major commander.

"…Damn it all!" Shalba shouted, then conjured some sort of foreign spell. Suddenly, shocking Goku and the others, the world around them began to blur and shift, returning to its true form…

"So it was a field." Nodded Serafall. "Clever… but don't think for a second that we're going to be letting you jerks get away, especially after traumatizing my cute little sister!"

"H-Ha, then try your best, cretin!" Shalba screamed back, somehow sounding even lunier, madder than the late Cruzerey. His calming demeanor had long disappeared into oblivion after the recent turn of events.

The stage was set, and the devils, suddenly, prepared to annihilate their turned brethren…!

"Hey, is that the full moon?" Suddenly, the random question instantly caught everyone off guard. Staring up at the sky, surround by his friends, Son Goku pointed towards a huddled group of the Old Maou Faction, floating in the sky. "A horrible monster comes when the moon's full, you know!" He shouted upwards, genuinely trying to warn everyone.

"Goku, what are you saying?" Rias tugged at the young man, amazed he was so calm. "If you're worried about werewolves, there shouldn't be any—"

"No, it's true!" Goku shook his head, dead serious.

Akeno and Sona shared a confused look with Rias, then looked back at Goku.

"My Grandpa died from bein' stepped on by that monster!"

"Wait, that guy, Gohan, was killed by a monster?" Asked Sairaorg.

""WHAT?!"" Suddenly, two people screamed: Serafall and Grayfia!

Serafall ran up to the small monkey boy, then gently grasped him by the shoulders. So much was running through her mind that she could barely think. The young devils, watching, were shocked, especially Rias and Sona.

"Y-You're telling me that someone killed the legendary human material-arts master, Son Gohan?!" Serafall barely managed to get out, disbelieving the words she had just heard.

"An' my house! An' the trees! Everything!" Goku widened is arms to demonstrate his point.

"Wait, we keep hearing of this Son Gohan. Who was he, Grayfia?" Rias turned and asked her sister-in-law, who was just frozen with simple amazement, staring at the young monkey boy before her and the others.

"It's amazing that I'm hearing that name again." She shook her head. "Long, long ago… when your brother wished to test his full strength… a human martial-artist volunteered to fight him at his full strength. Even with his power, destruction capable of rivaling the strongest of Gods… Sirzechs still lost."

Everyone was shocked, except Goku, who was still watching the fighting above.

"Son Gohan taught your brother, my husband, the faults of hubris… and that power doesn't mean everything in a fight…" She and the others, collectively, stared in awe, utterly transfixed on Goku. "And we've just learned that… Son Gohan had a grandson!"

"Yo, kid!" Serafall got his attention again. "What kind of monster was it?"

"I didn't see it." Goku shrugged. "I was asleep."

The high ranking devil blinked her eyes, not expecting such an answer. "You… slept through your house being destroyed?!"

Goku brought his hands up to the back of his head, then sighed. "Y'know, now that I think back to it. Grandpa always used to say 'never look at the full moon, boy'. Only I don't know what me lookin' at it could even do…" He frowned, really thinking about it. "I wonder if that monster comes out around here, too…"

There was sudden chill that ran through the backs of everyone present; even Grayfia and Serafall, two ridiculously powerful devils, slightly paled in expression.

"G-Goku," Akeno tugged at his gi, her sapphire eyes widened with concern and a slight hint of fear, "Th-The night your grandpa died… did you, by chance, look at the m-moon…?"

The boy, despite his friends' shared, frightful looks, widely grinned. "Yeah! He told me not to, but when I went to pee… well…"

Bulma and Oolong began to violently shake with fear. "I-I-I had a f-feeling he wasn't an ordinary k-k-kid…!"

"Huh?" He turned his head. "What? Whatcha talkin' about—"

Suddenly, the formation of devils above broke… and a pale light flashed before the boy's eyes…

The full moon.

The fighting, above, immediately stopped, and all eyes fell directly onto the strange, mesmerized monkey boy. Goku, however, scratched his head and turned back around to face his friends. "Whoops…" He laughed. "I did it again."

Oolong approached Goku, still shivering with unsurety. "Y-Y-Y-You're okay? N-Nothing's wrong…?"

"Wrong how?" He asked, confused as to why everyone had gotten so worked up.

"Oh, thank goodness…" Sighed Rias. "You really had me worried—"

PING! Suddenly, a jolt of immense, ominous power shot through the roof, emitting directly from the frozen boy. His eyes blanked, the muscles in his body slowly began to shake and twitch, randomly, yet frighteningly selective…

B-BMP B-BMP B-BMP B-BMP B-BMP B-BMP B-BMP

A loud thump akin to a giant's heartbeat, echoed from deep within the boy's body like a dreaded warning. A terrifying presence scattered across the battlefield, starting from the little boy.

"H-Hey, Goku…!" Shouted Sona.

"Th-That's not funny, Goku…!" Rias started to shake, suddenly realizing that she was completely petrified.

"N-No… G-Goku, please…!" Akeno cried out, terrified of what was happening to the boy she loved.

DM! DM! DM! DM! Suddenly, like a horror movie, Goku's hair shot up as if under the effects of an electrical current, and the muscles covering his body exploded in size, shredding apart his mountain gi. "RRR…!" A horrifying power began to swell inside the boy, neither human or supernatural. His teeth sharpened, revealing two massive fangs.

["GOKU!"] Everyone screamed.

Suddenly, thick black hair formed all over the boy's body as he multiplied in size and transformed into a terrifying monster: a great ape! His eyes turned redder than Rias's hair as his massive body continued to grow and grow in size… suddenly overtaking the aerial battle above.

"HOLY SHIT!" Screamed a petrified Bulma.

Standing well over twenty stories in height alone, Son Goku, once a sweet, yet strange boy, was now a massive transformed beast, and let out an earth-shaking roar. "UH-RAHHHH!"

The final battle was about to begin…

Goku, our hero, transformed into a giant monkey-monster?! What could be next?! Even I'm scared! The first arc finally concludes, next time, on "Gotta Heed The Call Of Magic Dragon Balls!"
