Jason9000: Hello everyone. Not much to say today. College is rough let me tell you. It's emotionally taxing and when I come home I'm in almost no mood to write something. I'll try to update whenever I can, I apologize for any mistakes seen through the last couple of chapters. I'll get to them one day I promise. Alright let's get cracking*
"Dad, do you feel that?" Mirai Trunks asked his father while he was training with his brother and father.
Vegeta paused in his attack on both of sons and focused on what he was talking about.
"It's just Kakarot showing off…again," Vegeta merely grumbled.
"No, I'm not talking about Goku's power. I mean further, beyond in space. It's faint, but it's there," Mirai Trunks said.
Vegeta paused and focused outwards pass the Earth. His eyes widened a bit when he felt it.
"Dear Kami, it feels like millions of voices are all crying out and then being silenced. What is going on?" The Saiyan Prince asked out loud.
"So it's not just me. It feels like many people are being killed in massive waves. I've never felt anything of this and I grew up with the fear of the Androids hanging over my head since I can walk," Mirai said.
"Whatever is causing this must be far away. It's strange how we can sense this many people dying, but we can't determine the source of what is causing all of this," Mirai said.
"Maybe it's not one being with a massive power. Perhaps it's coordinated attacks. Remember how King Kai told Goku that the Demon Realm in Hell has been quiet for far too long. What if this is them enacting some plan?" Trunks asked voicing his opinion.
"Wouldn't that mean they've escaped from Hell? Perhaps they've opened that door that the Supreme Kais' created all of those years ago," Mirai said slowly.
"If you're right then that also means that all of Hell could have just been released into the Universe!" Trunks cried out.
"Damn it so that means the Earth could be in danger of an invasion," Vegeta said.
"We should contact King Kai and see if he knows what is going on," Mirai said.
"We'd have to get Kakarot to contact him then. I have no idea how to contact anyone in the Otherworld. Unless either of you have any ideas?" Vegeta asked.
Both of them shook their heads and they all left the Gravity Room to quickly get changed.
Within five minutes all three of the Brief men met outside the front door. Mirai quickly informed Bulma of the situation and they took off toward the Son residence.
"Dad, why don't you try to contact Goku telepathically?" Mirai asked his father during the flight.
"Unlike Kakarot I was never one for telepathic abilities. I've never really tried to contact someone from a distance with my mind. We'll have to fly as fast as possible if this is what we've been warned of," Vegeta said.
While flying they all felt more and more people dying out in space. Vegeta never once felt something of this magnitude. Sure he remembered his days in the Planet Trade Organization when they were times an entire solar system was obliterated, but he could only count a couple of times that Frieza wanted an entire system cleaned of life. Also he couldn't feel ki energy back then and had to rely on scouters. Before it was just numbers going out on his scouter. Now he felt people dying on a different level. While it didn't disturb him as much as others, because of his early life, this was unsettling him. He felt a great deal of attachment to the Earth and his family. Vegeta lost one home once when he was a child. He wasn't going to lose another one.
Vegeta was cut out of his thoughts when he saw Goku appear before him. He had to use almost all of his strength to stop himself from slamming into him.
"Kakarot, can you at least warn us if you're going to randomly appear before us? I almost ran right through you!" Vegeta yelled at him.
"Sorry Vegeta, it's just hard to use instant transmission on a moving target. I'm glad I found you though. I was just coming to bring you to the Lookout. Something's just happened and I want to inform everyone at once. I've got everyone, but you guys at the Lookout." Goku told him.
"I'm guessing it has to do with all those people dying out there in the Universe?" Vegeta asked him.
Goku's eyes widened for a minute. "You know about that already? Wow Vegeta how did you know that?" The Saiyan asked.
Mirai and Trunks nearly fell over from that statement into the ocean below and Vegeta smacked Goku on the side of his head.
"You stupid, clown! Anyone with at least the basic understanding of sensing Ki energy can sense what's going on out there, if they focus beyond the atmosphere, and out into space!" Vegeta yelled at him.
"Hey what was that for? You don't have to be so rude, you know!" Goku cried out rubbing his head.
"Just get us to the Lookout before I decide to just blow the planet to Hell and be done with you all," Vegeta grumbled.
"Heh…you know that may actually help us find out what's going on if we're dead," Trunks joked to his father.
Vegeta sent his youngest son a glare that told him to stop talking and to just grab onto Goku's shoulder.
With all three of them latched onto Goku he focused on the Lookout and transmitted away.
When they arrived the entire gang was there. Master Roshi was seen in the back with Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu all talking amongst themselves. Piccolo was off to the side with Dende looking over the Earth. The entire Son family was near the doorway into the Lookout with Mr. Popo was giving young Pan a bowl full of food. Uub was looking around the Lookout with amazement since this was his first time on it. Majin Buu and Hercule Satan were seen walking around the Lookout.
"Okay now that we've got everyone here I'll guess we can start to try and figure out what's going on," Goku said walking toward everyone.
"I think we're all partially aware of what's going on. From what we can sense is that the entire Universe is being destroyed by something out there," Tien said.
"That and all of the Dragon Balls have gone missing. We're not sure who has taken them or if they've been used for a wish yet," Yamcha said.
"I think it's safe to say that the Dragon Balls were used to revive most, if not all the dead," Krillin responded.
"Why haven't they attacked our region of the Universe then? Surely there are enough dead people to flood the Universe," Goten said.
"You've got to remember that it could just be the residents of Hell and not just everyone in Heaven and Otherworld," Master Roshi said.
"Still you would think there would be enough since it's filled with people from almost the beginning of time," Trunks commented.
"The Universe is a big place son. There are sectors of the Universe that even the Cold Empire never got to explore. I'm not too surprised that they're not everywhere," Vegeta responded back.
"Kakarot can you please just contact King Kai already? I'm tired of waiting," The Saiyan Prince asked him.
"Alright give me a minute," Goku told him before looking up into the sky. For a moment he was silent.
"That's odd he usually responds whenever I try to contact him. Perhaps he's busy with one of the Otherworld Tournaments," Goku said scratching his head.
"I could go to the Check-In Station and ask King Yemma what's going on," Dende voiced up.
"Alright, but be careful Dende. I don't want you to put yourself in any danger," Goku told him.
The young guardian nodded and disappeared into Otherworld.
Not even two minutes later Dende was back looking disheveled.
"There's been an attack on the Check-In Station. There's a bunch of demons patrolling the line of the dead. I just got away before they attacked me," He said breathing hard.
*Two hours earlier…*
No one was sure how long it took for those demons to get through the door. King Piccolo and everyone went back to the castle after waiting fifteen minutes and there were still demons going through the door.
Cooler was looking out the window from the throne room with Cell.
"How many are there? It looks as if nobody's left this place," Cooler asked out loud.
"Even I don't know and I'm their King," King Piccolo commented standing over a circular table with King Cold and Doctor Gero that had a holographic "map" of all of Otherworld.
"I don't mean to question your judgment, but is it wise to have all of them leaving? Won't that leave us defenseless if the warriors of Otherworld try to come down here? I'd rather not have an army of the dead trying to fight me; even with my new powers," Cell told King Piccolo.
"It's all been taken care of Cell. So relax and be patient. I know it's been a long six months. Everything is going according to plan. We just need to wait for Bibidi for all the clear form the first project I've commissioned from him and then we'll begin our attack on Otherworld," King Piccolo said turning his attention towards the two.
"If you don't mind me asking pray tell how are we going to do that? You just let your entire population and every other resident in Hell out there in the Universe. I don't doubt our abilities, but it will be harder to control all Otherworld. We can't be everywhere at once," Cooler asked him.
"While most of my subjects have left us for now, I still have many troops in reserve. My most elite soldiers are now preparing themselves. Frieza's seen some of them when he first explored this castle. Ask him and he'll tell you how many I have that are just within this castle," King Piccolo said before going back to his map.
They were all silent for a few minutes till they heard Bibidi's voice.
"My son and I are adding the final touches to the creature. It will be awakened in ten minutes. If any of you want to bid hello, please come on down."
King Piccolo stood up and walked to the door holding it open gesturing to the others.
"Any of you wish to come along?" The Demon King asked them.
The others shook their heads; except for Gero who wanted to make sure the final touches fit with the specifications he gave the wizards earlier.
King Piccolo and Dr. Gero walked into the lab where they found the wizards, Android 19, and Frieza standing in front of the project.
"So this is it then. Well then go ahead let's wake him up," King Piccolo said.
"Did you fit the final specifications I gave you after we came back from the Kai planet?" Dr. Gero asked him.
"Yes, yes I just finished them. You can ask Android Nineteen if you aren't satisfied," Bibidi said waving his hand dismissively.
"Very well let's welcome him into the world then," King Piccolo said.
Dr. Gero and Bibidi put their hands on a control panel where it scanned their hands for a moment.
Finally the cocoon in front of them began to hiss and smoke came out of it. They heard a crack and it split down the middle falling to the floor. A cloud of pink smoke appeared in front of them and for a minute it just floated there not moving.
"Is it supposed to be a cloud of smoke? This is your weapon? What do you plan to do, blind our adversary's?" Frieza asked everyone.
"Be patient. It takes a couple of minutes. Trust me this is better than the first time I did this. I had to wait ten whole minutes thinking all of my work was wasted," Bibidi said.
Finally the cloud of pink gas began to form into something solid. It was turning into a tangible pink body. It took the body of a small pink body. It had a tentacle protruding from its head. It wore white baggy pants that had a black buckle that seemed to be one with its skin. A black buckle was seen that had a distinct M on its buckle.
The small pink being fell to the floor on its knees breathing heavily and erratically. It was shivering for a moment.
"What's wrong with it? I don't remember it needing to breathe when I saw it blowing up planets and reforming in space all those years ago?" Frieza asked Bibidi.
"You need to remember that he was born a minute ago. It'll take him a few moments for his entire body to reach and maintain homeostasis. Just be patient Frieza," Dr. Gero told the young prince.
For a few minutes the pink child was still breathing heavily. Finally its breathing was slowing and became regular.
King Piccolo strode forward and stood before the pink
"My name is King Piccolo. Can you understand me?" He asked.
The pink child looked up at the giant before him and nodded his head. It started to look around for a moment in a confusing manner getting up on its feet.
"It's good to see you're awake, young one. I have great plans for you," The Demon King said grinning.
The pink creature looked at him tilting his head in a confusing manner.
"I have only one question for you. How do you feel about fighting and killing others?" He asked.
The young child's eyes gleamed and he nodded his head.
"Excellent then follow me. I am gathering my forces and we are moving to attack Otherworld. We'll be leaving in an hour. I hope you're ready. Majin Buu," King Piccolo told the young Djinn.
King Piccolo walked back to the throne room to inform King Cold, Cooler, and Cell of the situation.
'Excellent with this new Majin aiding me, taking over Otherworld will be much easier. Perhaps I could commission a personal army from the wizards'. But, first I need to get ready for taking over the Check-In Station and then invading the Earth once I have control of the station. It wouldn't take long for Goku to contact King Kai after sensing my demons out in the Universe. Once I have control of the Check-In Station I'll lead the Colds and Cell to Earth,' King Piccolo thought to himself.
He walked in and found Cooler and Cell looking over King Cold's shoulder at the map. The three of them looked up and saw him walk in.
"Gentlemen, I hope you're ready for visiting the Check-In Station. We'll start the real invasion in the hour. After that I'm taking you all to Earth for a small visit," King Piccolo told them.
The three nodded and then continued pouring over the map.
An hour later, King Piccolo stood at the front doors to the castle with everyone except; for Dr. Gero and Android 19. Majin Buu or Kid Buu as he was named by his newfound creators was looking around and taking his surroundings in amazement. Cell merely mentally nodded at the creature remembering what it was like to finally be awoken and escape from his own lab tube. While he didn't physically show what Kid Buu what doing, but Cell still took a moment to take in the area.
"I sent Tambourine ahead to scout ahead an hour ago. I want to see how many ogres are guarding the entrance into King Yemma's precious Check-In Station. He should be coming back through the door in a minute," King Piccolo said.
They all nodded and waited a minute for Tambourine to come back.
In a minute they all sensed Tambourine's power come back and he came flying down landing in a bow in front of King Piccolo.
"My liege I have news. They haven't increased security at the Check-In Station very much. The only thing I sensed was an increase in the ogre population. I am confident our soldiers will be able to take them on with no problems. If we get our forces inside quickly, we can then block any communications with the rest of Otherworld with the wizards' magic," The young demon said.
King Piccolo nodded and then flew off with everyone toward the door.
He quickly opened the door and it led right to the winding path of the many dead souls.
He shielded his eyes for a minute so they could adjust to the light. He looked around and saw that it didn't change much.
"Sir, please no cutting in line. Everyone has to wait their turn!" An ogre with a microphone shouted to him further down the road.
He simply ignored him and walked down to the entrance with the others following him. He stood just outside the entrance and turned to the audience of the dead souls and other main villains behind him and addressed everyone.
"Behind you stands a symbol of cruel oppression. The Check-In Station, where trillions of souls have anguished under the corrupt rules of these pathetic hypocrites!" He began.
He paused for a moment to take a deep breath.
"What is going on out there?!" A giant voice roared. "I need to judge three thousand souls within the span of three seconds in the mortal Universe. What is holding up this long line?!" The voice roared getting closer and closer.
King Yemma stepped through the door and saw King Piccolo addressing everyone in front of him.
"What? How in Otherworld did all of you escape from Hell? I demand to know what is going on!" King Yemma roared.
King Piccolo raised his hand at Cell and the wizards. The biological Android disappeared and reappeared knocking King Yemma to the ground and then kneeing in him stomach holding him in place. The father and son then shouted words of magic that no one understood. Nothing visible happened, but everyone could feel their minds blocked from one another. If they had to guess they couldn't contact anyone outside of the Check-In Station even if they wanted to. For the moment it seemed like only the Demon King could project his thoughts and voice outside the Check-In Station.
"We take Otherworld from these pathetic weaklings and we give it back to you, the people. The Kais', also known as the main oppressors of Otherworld who have kept everyone down from their true volatile nature with their laws of 'good and evil', we revoke these laws! Otherworld is ours to do as we please, but start my loyal subjects and allies by storming the Check-In Station!" King Piccolo shouted.
During King Piccolo's speech the rooms full of sleeping demons in his castle all woke up. Every single one of them were wide awake. Every door opened and all of them flew at high speed toward the door leading to the Check-In Station.
"Please step forward those who will serve; for an army will be raised! The Kais' ripped from their comfortable "planets" and cast out into Hell where most of us were unjustly forced to abode and suffer! Courts led by appointed judges will be held! Souls will regrettably perish! The "good" warriors of Otherworld will survive as they learn to serve what is "true justice", while suffering what we all went through and more through Hell's agonizing tortures! Otherworld will endure and it will survive!" King Piccolo proclaimed.
With King Yemma pinned down, Cell was able to look toward King Piccolo and the others. The Colds' noticed over the course of the Demon King's speech saw Cell's eyes slowly widen over time.
The Cold family and the wizards turned around and saw that a massive army of demons were coming through the door rushing toward them in numbers uncountable. Kid Buu only grinned, for he sensed the amazing power of these demons that were almost as strong as him. Perhaps he could have some fun with them later if he was good enough.
"My young man, please introduce yourself to all of Otherworld!" King Piccolo said to Kid Buu.
He nodded at the wizards who transformed the nature of the magic of blocking all communication to and from the Check-In Station so that all of Otherworld could hear this final message.
The Djinn took a deep breath and then said in a voice that to this day, sent chills down the backs of every Kai.
"Me Buu, kill you!" The newly born Majin shouted before rushing into the station leading all of the demons.
*Jason9000: Okay that'll do it. If anyone can guess the references that I put in here, I'll thank you in the author's note, the next time I update. Now I personally hate doing this, but I have to ask; why am I not getting as many reviews as before? When I made the chapters five Microsoft pages I received a few reviews. I thought that by making the chapters longer I would receive more. Should I shorten them or keep them longer? It's up to you guys. Well hope you have a good day or night.*
