Carry On Wayward Son
Chapter 2
"Kai's Cry For Help"
"Who's Baobhan?" Asked a horrified Krillin. The Z Team had been gathered by the supreme Kai in the lookout, very early in the morning, they were all standing in a circle surrounding the god, Goten and Trunks still half-asleep; he informed them of the sad news referring to the western Kaio's death, just earlier, which seemed to awake the younger saiyans.
"Baobhan was one of the first supreme Kai's..." Started the Kai, "...it's been said she was even the most powerful of all..."
"Wait, so Baobhan was—is a girl?" Asked a now fully awake Goten.
"Yes, in fact she was what the elder supreme Kai's called 'The goddess of beauty', now, it's also been said, that she had an obsession with power, which made her lose her mind, somewhere in her sick quest of getting more power, she killed the first supreme Kai and drank his blood, believing she could absorb his soul and energy--".
"What a disgusting thing to do...". Interrupted Gohan, feeling a wave of nausea.
"Yes.." Continued the Kai, "unfortunately, this happened to be true, so she chased and hunted every living creature in the universe, thus destroying many civilizations and some elder gods, that, until I found her and sealed her in an egg similar to the one where Majin Buu was, until that egg disappeared some decades ago...we all believed the egg had disintegrated, because of it's old years, but apparently, after escaping her prison, she was able to suppress her ki and run away to hide in a small planet".
"Where is she now, then?", Asked Vegeta, arms folded against his chest, annoyed it seemed, to have to get up so early to hear the long lost story of a lunatic goddess.
"Last we knew of her, she was making her way to your galaxy". Stated the supreme Kai, a little embarrassed, at his failure to maintain control of the situation decades ago.
"Why would she come here?, why not just destroy everything at once?" Stated Piccolo, Why not stay in hiding after killing poor old Kaio-sama, He thought.
"You see..." Started the god. "...there used to be a cult in this galaxy, which worshiped Baobhan, some of them are still alive, I guess, she's gone to find them".
"So?, you want us to help you clean up your mess". Hissed Vegeta, arms unfolded, pointing a finger to the supreme Kai.
"Yes...I do require your help, she has powers beyond reason, she has absorbed so much magic and energy...". Said the supreme Kai, lowering his gaze to the tiles.
"Don't be so hard on him Vegeta, we would've needed to help anyway since she would've come here sometime". Said Goku, secretly looking forward to fight this stronger being. Vegeta 'humphed' and folded his arms again, turning his head away from Kakarott.
"Well, I need to get back to inform the other Kaio-sama's, I'll be back in a couple of days with a plan". and with that, the supreme Kai waved goodbye and disappeared.
"I guess we should start training...". Said Krillin. "...again, I'll go inform Tien, Yamcha and 18, see you soon guys", he said his goodbyes and flew off the lookout.
"You heard that Goten, we're gonna fight the most powerful girl in the universe, we can finally show everybody how strong we are". Whispered Trunks to Goten, while jumping excitedly up and down.
"Yeah, we're totally gonna win this fight, I mean she's a girl". Whispered back Goten, a huge smile on his innocent face.
"Looks like the kids are excited, huh Vegeta?".
"They should be Kakarott, they're of the Saiyan race and are genetically made to get excited at a chance to compete, and so am I". He said, with a defying glance to his old rival and now friend.
"Yeah hahahah, me too". Laughed Goku.
"Don't get carried away with your ape behavior, this is a serious matter". Growled Piccolo. Both Saiyan looked at the Namek and nodded a 'yes'.
Gohan had silently stepped away from the group, sinking in his thoughts. "Dammit, why is this so familiar, it all feels like deja vu, Baobhan, why did that name rang a bell...maybe some old story I read as a child", he thought discarding his thoughts. Piccolo stepped away from the crowd, to see his pupil deep in thought, he could feel his stress, so he walked to where he was.
"What's up kid, you seem disturbed".
"Well, I don't know, this story, it seems familiar somehow, like I've heard it or read it before..." He paused. "...actually it feels like I've seen it, you know what I mean Mr. Piccolo?".
"Maybe, I do have an eerie feeling about this too, or maybe that woman you call mother, hit you too hard with that frying pan of hers this time". He attempted a joke to sooth his pupil. "Hell, son". Thought the Namekian. Gohan appreciated the joke and laughed.
"Thank you, Mr. Piccolo". He seemed to have relaxed a little bit, he would always feel more calm around Piccolo, even in the worst situation.
"You're welcome kid, now lets get back to the others". He said, as he ruffled his hair a little.
They walked to the others, Vegeta looks highly annoyed and the kids extremely happy for something.
"What's going on?". Asked Gohan to his father, who seemed to have taken a step back from Vegeta.
"We're all staying at CC, it seems to be the best way to tell everybody and stay together". Said Goku, with a slightly nervous laugh. "Aaah so that's why Vegeta looked so annoyed hahaha", thought Gohan.
"Yes Kakarott, it's a great idea, come disturb me in my house...". Snarled Vegeta. "...Invite everybody, it doesn't matter that you don't even care to CONSULT ME FIRST!!".
"Come on Vegeta, you know it's the best thing we could do, and the kids look really excited too". Said Goku, as the two little Saiyans jumped up and down, screaming something about how much they were gonna train and play.
Millions of stars away from Earth, in a small planet filled with deserts and seas, in a brilliantly engineered castle, built with skulls and gems, stood a beautiful, young looking woman, blond flowing hair, skin as soft as a baby's, well rounded hips and breasts, gorgeous emerald eyes, 'She' was truly...
"Breathtaking".
"Thank you servant". 'She' answered.
"You're as beautiful as we remembered, thank you so much for the gift that is your presence Milady".
He was a short consumed old man, wrinkles have torn his face to one of a monster, he was dressed in a brown robe, very similar to those of monks on Earth; In his hand he held a white dress, long and elegant.
"Here Milady, tis for you"
'She' took it from his hands as if he were staining it with his sickly, aged hands.
"You've aged, you look like monster, cover your face, I cannot stand to watch it any longer".
He did so, without a moments thought...he did it quietly, her goddess had ordered it.
"My powers have drained from my body...too much time on that god forsaken egg, I'm not as strong as I once was...all that remains of me is my beauty and magic". She said, while looking her reflection in a mirror nearby.
"But Baobhan--" He was interrupted fiercely.
"Do not say my name, you're not worthy of that anymore crippled old man". She pierced him with a glare.
"Milady..." He corrected himself. "...You need blood, you need energy."
"Yes" She answered quietly, while undressing.
"How do you plan on obtaining it", He couldn't help but stare at her nude, she was, perfect.
"What I is need a strong man, I need, someone who can satisfy my needs with his blood and body, someone young and powerful, one who can make entire civilizations drop to his and my feet". She had putted on the dress, it was soft as silk, but never as soft as her milky white skin, it was long and seductive, like she was, the black leather straps made it fit her body perfectly.
"Does Milady wish for me to find her such specimen?" He asked politely, as a servant would and should.
"Yes, do you have an idea of who could be worthy?" 'She' asked.
"Actually yes, a year ago we noticed strong energy, it seems Majin Buu, was also released of his prison, and a young demi-saiyan fought him...".
"A Saiyan!!" She screamed in shock."I though they've been extinct by this age of the universe, tell me more...".
"I believe his name to be Gohan, he's a very, very powerful demi-saiyan, 18 earth years old, the son of a third class saiyan, unfortunately..." He trailed off.
"That doesn't matter, Saiyans are very strong, strategic, they may be animals, but that should satisfy my lust for the flesh".
"I'll search him for you", He quickly ran to get some sort of sphere, it had a diameter of about two hands, he set it on a table nearby and lifted it up in the air.
"Ooh I can't wait, show me, show me", She giggled and wiggled like 16 year old.
Suddenly an image started to appear on the sphere, it showed a small all too familiar figure.
"Damn that Kaioshin!!, you won't ruin my fun this time" 'She' shouted.
Then the image moved to a tall young man, he stood silently around the men and god. So much power, she could feel it in her, she could feel her blood begin to boil. Kaioshin left and the short human did also. Her prey was left alone. "Perfect". Then 'She' felt something that angered her like very few things could.
"He's in love you stupid excuse of a servant!!" She screamed like no banshee could ever.
"Yes, it appears so Milady, but you can put magic in him, love is such a subjective state of mind".
"Yes, that is true" 'She' thought. "...But there's also his family and friends, although I do sense some darkness in him..." She trailed of to her thoughts. "...You've done well, you deserve to keep your sorry excuse for a life another day".
"Thank you Milady, shall I bring a servant for you to drink for the spell?".
"Yes, and hurry, I don't want to miss this because of your tardiness and incompetence". He ran as quickly as his aged body would allow him to, he brought with him a child of another race, 5 years old no more, he was of the Lartan planet, he proceeded to cut his neck, then handed him to her. 'She' drank from him and became entranced as she moved her hands in the air above the sphere. He needed to enter his psyche first, so she did, she entered his mind and violated his memories, his pains and sufferings. "This shouldn't be too hard" 'She' thought. So it happened, she was inside him, she could feel it and so could he.
Enjoy.
