Chapter 9 - General Blue, Lucifer Red
"Why don't you go and search for them then?"
"How would I do that? The world is huge!"
Master Roshi chuckled. "Well, they were searching for the Dragon Balls, right? If you did the same, then you should meet up with them."
Kefla frowned. The logic sounded good to her, and she'd get to stretch her legs a little outside of the island. "I guess I need to find Bulma and ask for another Dragon Radar then."
-]||[-
The journey to where Bulma was took a few days of flight given the fact that they were almost at the opposite end of the world. Though it was enjoyable seeing that she flew and rested over some familiar locations. The first was the training island where the old man trained them. She rested there for a few hours, meeting some of the people she met in the past before she continued her journey. Her next major stop was Papaya Island where the Tenkaichi Budokai Tournament was usually held.
After that, she flew over a big island that she didn't know the name of. Bulma probably taught her it in one of their geography classes, but Kefla didn't care enough to remember the name of every island. She only knew that South City was on this island, and that was enough for her.
It took her two more days before she saw her destination. Fortuneteller Baba's Palace was visible from a few miles away. It was located on a massive lake. A large yellow and purple circular building was the main entrance located just on the southern shore of the lake. From it extended a path that led to five islands located in the lake. The first three were on a horizontal line with the main path cutting through the middle one, which on top of it was the large visitor's hall. The fighting arena followed it on a circular island that matched its shape and then came the main attraction: Fortuneteller Baba's Palace. A massive circular palace consisting of two levels.
There was a long line at the entrance extending several miles with several small pink ghosts ushering people and trying to keep order. Kefla ignored it and flew right in, much to the shock of everyone present.
"Excuse me."
A feminine voice stopped her. Kefla turned to see a pretty red-haired, blue-eyed receptionist smiling kindly at her.
Kefla tilted her head, wondering what she wanted from her. "Yes?"
"You can't just walk in there like that. There is a line if you want to meet Fortune-teller Baba," the receptionist said, gesturing to the line of angry men and women who were glaring at Kefla.
"I'm not here to see the old hag," answered Kefla.
"Nice try," said the receptionist, her eyes closed and smile strained. "But that won't work on me."
Kefla rolled her eyes. "No, I'm really not here for that old hag. I'm here to talk with Bulma."
The receptionist perked at that, her eyes opening to show her pretty blue sparkling with some unknown gleam. "You know Miss Bulma?" She asked in an excited voice, a faint blush on her cheeks.
Kefla narrowed her eyes. The way the woman looked and the tone of her voice when she said Bulma's name irked her for some reason. She had the sudden feeling that she didn't want this woman to spend any time with Bulma.
"Yes…" she replied cautiously.
"Well, if you don't mind me asking a question, but do you know if Miss Bulma has a boyfriend or a girlfriend?"
The hell is this bitch asking for. Kefla growled internally. "Yes, she has a girlfriend and a boyfriend," she said, though she didn't understand why she lied like that. No, I understand. I don't want Bulma with a skank like this one.
The receptionist's shoulders slumped, making Kefla feel guilty. For a moment that is.
"So, where can I find Bulma?"
"Miss Bulma is in Baba's Palace at the last island," she answered her dejectedly.
Kefla didn't even thank her as she walked toward Baba's Palace.
The palace itself was as big as Pilaf's castle, but it was decorated more extravagantly. Statues, paintings and other items that must have cost a fortune were everywhere in the castle. Kefla ignored it all, having no interest in such things, letting out her senses to detect where Bulma was now that she was nearer. Taking a turn, and walking down the hallway, she ignored the people who were waiting for their turn to meet Baba in the Reading Room.
She found Bulma in what seemed to be like a large empty room that could be repurposed given the situation. Bulma was wearing a black tank top that showed her midriff and a generous amount of cleavage, and a pair of purple shorts that barely covered half of her thighs. Kefla stood, staring as Bulma, who hadn't noticed her, was doing some exercises. She gulped, watching as a bead of sweat fell down from Bulma's face, moving along her skin to reach the hidden valley between Bulma's bouncy breasts. Her eyes tracked the movement of every muscle and the way her muscled thigh flexed when she moved.
Kefla licked her lips unconsciously, suddenly feeling a little hot in her clothes. A pool of heat was forming below her belly. Her hands flexed, suddenly feeling like she wanted to run them all over Bulma's body. What the hell!? She shook her head, not fully understanding why she was thinking of Bulma like this. She is just my friend!
"Kefla?"
Kefla snapped out of her thoughts as Bulma called out to her. Bulma seemed surprised to see her, before this surprise turned to happiness as the purple-haired beauty bounced on her, engulfing Kefla in a tight hug, bushing Kefla's face between her breasts. "Kefla! I missed you!"
"Imisghutoo," Kefla replied, her voice muffled by Bulma's chest.
"Ah, sorry about that," Bulma said, rubbing her head sheepishly as she released Kefla, much to Kefla's hidden disappointment.
"It's alright." Kefla averted her face, feeling her cheeks heating up. "I." She coughed. "I missed… you too," she managed to get out, embarrassed by the admission.
Thankfully, despite the amused smile on her face, she didn't tease her about it. "So, what brings you here?"
Her embarrassment forgotten, Kefla said the reason for her visit. "Kakarot and Krillin haven't returned yet."
"What?!" Bulma screeched. "But it's been about three months! With the Dragon Radar, it shouldn't have taken them this long!"
"I know, that's why I came here," said Kefla. "I want you to make me another Dragon Radar so I could track them down with it."
Bulma nodded. "I have nothing here, the old hag doesn't let any electronics inside her palace." She gestured for Kefla to follow her. "I do have some scrapes stored in a cave nearby, so follow me. You need to give me a bit to make one though."
….
….
An hour later, Bulma handed Kefla a new Dragon Radar. "Do you want me to come with you?" asked Bulma, looking at Kefla in concern.
Kefla shook her head. "There is no need. You can continue training under the old hag for now." Then, Kefla's body moved on its own, planting a kiss at the corner of Bulma's mouth. "See ya!" she turned and blasted away, her face red from embarrassment. What the fuck was that!?
-]||[-
The first and closest Dragon Ball that Kefla noticed on the Radar was located on the main continent, north of the island that had South City. It was a few miles inland from the coast, so Kefla decided to head there first.
It took her three days, including taking a rest on the big island that had South City - Kefla didn't know the name of the island. Finally, She was on the path to the first Dragon Ball, which was a good thing as just then, Kefla noticed that the Dragon Ball was moving, heading further inland.
As she was tailing the dragon ball, Kefla saw several small villages that were completely decimated with no sign of life in them. Frowning, she realised that the location of the Dragon Ball before it moved was in the vicinity of these villages.
"It seems that some bastards are after the Dragon Balls too," muttered Kefla, gritting her teeth as she flew after it.
Less than half an hour later, Kefla saw a large procession of military vehicles ahead. Looking at the Dragon Radar, Kefla confirmed that these people must be the ones responsible for the atrocity. Speeding up, Kefla landed a few meters ahead, making the vehicles stop. From the very first vehicle, two people get out.
The first was a tall redheaded man dressed in a red scarf around his neck, blue trousers, and brown boots. He wasn't wearing any shirt, only rocking a long black coat that was open to show his hard-earned muscles. The second one was an obese man wearing a military uniform.
From another vehicle, a stocky tiger-man stepped out. He wore a dark brown leather flying helmet with goggles, a red bandana around his neck, a khaki shirt underneath a green aviator's jacket, and beige slacks with brown combat boots.
"Who are you?" the red-headed man asked calmly. "And how did you fall out of the sky?"
"I'm Kefla," she said before, her face giving nothing to the rage building up as she smelt the smell of blood coming off the men. "Who are you, people?"
"I'm Colonel Silver," the man said. "This is Captain Dark." He gestured to the obese man beside him. "And that is Captain Yellow." This time it was the tiger-man. "And these are our men. We're part of the Red Ribbon Army."
"I see." Now that she had a name for who she was after, Kefla's face gave way to her inner feelings as she glared at the men. "Well, bastards, hand over the Dragon Ball and I promise to make your deaths easy or else things will get quite messy…"
They recoiled in shock. Captain Dark moved forward, a whip appearing in his hand. "How do you know about the Dragon Balls, girlie?"
Kefla ignored him. "I'll count to three," she said. "One!"
"Don't ignore me!" Captain Dark screamed, cracking his whip in the air before attacking her.
Kefla dodged the whip and caught it in mid-air. She used the whip to pull Dark close to her before she opened a hole in his stomach with a Ki-coated fist. She winced in disgust as she pulled out her fist, covered in blood and guts.
"AGH!" Dark coughed up blood, bending in half. The pain was too much for his mind to even process. He didn't get the time for that as a roundhouse kick from Kefla sent his head flying, blood flying in the air like a fountain.
"The hard way it is," said Kefla calmly as blood fell like rain in front of her. She rushed at the RR army, who were still in shock after witnessing the brutal murder of Captain Dark.
The first to react was Captain Yellow. He took out his gun and started firing at Kefla. She easily dodged the bullets before she kicked his arm, breaking it and bending it in an unnatural way just as he fired more bullets at her. The result was Captain Yellow shooting himself in the face.
"Why you!" Colonel Silver exclaimed, putting on boxer gloves before he rushed at Kefla who easily dodged his punches. "Sit still, bitch!" he screamed, and Kefla obliged. Silver's fist hit Kefla square in the face. She didn't even move a millimetre. In fact, when Silver retracted his arm, he saw much to his disbelief that Kefla wasn't even fazed.
She smirked. "That's it?" She asked mockingly before she sent a punch of her own.
Kefla's fist hit Silver's face, his head warping around her fist before it was sent flying into the distance as his body collapsed like a doll without its strings.
"Hiyaa!"
The foot soldiers all screamed, throwing their guns and running away.
"Like I'd let you."
Kefla gathered Ki before opening her arms wide in a swift motion. Small dots of red Ki floated in the air in front of her like fireflies. Kefla moved her arms back together, and the ki dots flew to the fleeing men, stinging them slightly and sticking to them. "Death Stinger!" with Kefla's yell, each Ki dot exploded with the strength of a hand grenade.
The result was a gory mess and a rain of blood.
"I've warned them," said Kefla with a shrug before moving to the same vehicle that Silver got off from. After a few moments, she had one of the Dragon Balls in her hand.
"Next is the one close to the old pervert's island." With that, she flew away, continuing her journey.
She didn't notice that one of the men was still alive. He wasn't hit by Kefla's attack, only the resulting explosions. He was severely injured and dying, but he had enough life in him to report to HQ.
-]||[-
The Red Ribbon Army HQ:
"C-Commander Red!"
Red turned to see one of his soldiers, a bear-man, running toward him.
"What is it!?" Suffice it to say, Red wasn't in a good mood after he received the news of the attack on Colonel Silver, Captain Dark, and Captain Yellow.
The bear-man flinched in fright but managed to collect himself. "We've managed to decrypt the feed that we got from the personal cameras." Each commander and soldier in the army had a small camera on their person that sent data to HQ. Red didn't trust anyone after all. "They were badly damaged, but we managed to extract a picture of the enemy." The bear-man gave Red a picture showing a beautiful young woman with spiky black hair.
"T-This is the one!" He exclaimed in shock. "This is the one who killed three of my top commanders and an entire platoon of men!?"
"Y-Yes!"
Red turned to his assistant, Staff Officer Black. "This bitch is after the Dragon Balls, and already has one with her. I want you to send her picture to every single base and commander with an order to shoot on sight!"
"Yes, sir!"
Red ground his teeth, his anger flaring. No one is going to stop me from getting my wish. No one!
-]||[-
"Eh, down here?" Kefla said to no one as she reached the location of the next Dragon Ball. The Radar seemed to be pointing toward a random area in the middle of the sea. Kefla was sure that Kakarot and Krillin weren't here, but if someone like the RR Army was after the Dragon Balls, then it was better if she collected those on her way, just in case.
Pressing a new button on the improved Radar gave Kefla a much better idea of how far down the Dragon Ball was. "Can't swim that far while holding my breath…" Thinking about it for a moment, an idea came to her.
"Old man's island is close, maybe he has something for me."
After half an hour of flying, Kefla landed on Kame Island.
"Back so soon?" Master Roshi, who was sunbathing, asked her. "I don't see Goku and Krillin with you."
"I've not found them yet," she admitted, before throwing the Dragon Ball that she has to him. "I have something I need to do, so keep that safe for me."
Looking down at what he caught. "A Dragon Ball?"
"Some bad men are after it, so they might come after you while I'm away."
Roshi shrugged as he put the ball beside him. "Jolly, I was getting bored anyway."
Kefla smirked, knowing that the RR Army won't be a match for her old master. "Do you have a submarine though? I need one to get the next Dragon Ball."
"Let me see…" Going back inside the house, it took him a few moments before he was out again. "I have one alright." He threw a Capsule, revealing a blue-winged vehicle.
Kefla deadpanned. "This one looks like a flying car."
"Because it is," said Roshi. "But it can also be used underwater, so have fun."
With a shrug, Kefla jumped in and started her search for the next Dragon Ball.
-]||[-
The Blue Corps HQ:
"Enough playing around already! You still haven't found the blasted thing?"
A tiger-man bowed, sweat rolling down his head as he looked at his superior nervously. "W-We are searching for it, but it's hard since it's most likely at the bottom of the ocean."
Blue scoffed at the pitiful excuse. "Don't want to hear any of your excuses!" His voice rose only a little, but it was as effective as if he yelled. "Commander Red will be most upset with the delay. I've heard that bastard White already got his Dragon Ball."
"W-We'll double our efforts."
Blue sniffed before his ear picked up a certain noise. He turned to another soldier. "Hey, you!"
The soldier jumped up in freight. "Y-Yes, sir!"
Blue's face scrunched up in disgust as he saw the evidence on the man's finger. "You were picking up your nose, weren't you?"
The man's face flushed in shame at being caught. "Y-Yes, sir. I aplo-"
Blue turned around, cutting him off with a sneer. "How filthy," he said. He hated disgusting men like him the most. "Take him out and execute the degenerate." The tiger-man and another soldier hurried to carry out the order, heedless to the screams of mercy from the filth.
Blue looked at the only soldier left in the room; a yellow-furred fox man. "What about the girl?"
"We've tracked her movement after the warning from HQ. She stopped in the vicinity of our Dragon Ball, but soon took off in another direction without picking it up."
"Curious."
A few moments later, the fox perked up. "Oh? Sir! She seems to have left the Dragon Ball at a small island south west of our location."
That is strange. Blue looked at the radar, and sure enough, the Dragon Ball was sitting still on some random island. On the other hand, the blurry satellite images showed the girl, now in some sort of vehicle, was heading back to where the other Dragon Ball was.
"That's brilliant!" the fox-man exclaimed. "Now we only need to go and pick it up!"
Blue narrowed his eyes. "Not so fast."
"Sir?"
"Think about it?" said Blue. He was really surrounded by imbeciles and morons. "She somehow was able to track the Dragon Ball with that moron Silver." And boy wasn't it great to be rid of that barbarian. "And clearly is able to detect where our Dragon Ball was. What do you think that means?"
"That she has a radar of her own?"
Pleased that the man wasn't a complete idiot, Blue allowed a grin. "Exactly! And there is no way that a young woman of her age could've built it herself. She must have allies, and their base most likely is where she left that other Dragon Ball."
"You're very smart, Sir!"
Blue puffed his chest up. "Prepare the men. I want ten men with me, while the rest will storm that little island with all the firepower available."
"Yes, sir!"
-]||[-
The view underwater was unlike anything Kefla has ever seen. Sure, she had swum in lakes and the like before, but she never swam in the ocean or saw what was underneath the rolling waves. She had some idea of what she was seeing thanks to the lesson that Bulma gave her and Kakarot, but she hadn't studied enough to be able to identify anything but the bare basics.
But she had something more important to do now. With great reluctance, Kefla took her eyes off the school of fishes and refocused on the search for the Dragon Ball. A few moments of search yielded zero results. "That's strange… the radar says it's below me. Wait." Checking the cross-section view, she saw how it was a big cave system with an opening just big enough for the submarine to enter just down the crevice.
"Well, here goes nothing."
-]||[-
"We're now approaching the enemy submarine." One of the men announced.
A hippo-man stepped forward. "Shall we open fire, sir?"
Blue shook his head. "Wait a bit longer. Let them lead us to the Dragon Ball first."
Soon, they were following the Submarine discreetly as it made its way into some kind of a cave.
"Shall we open fire, Sir?"
Blue deadpanned. "Didn't I just say to wait until they have the Dragon Ball?"
Soon, the cave was getting narrower. Soon, it'd be impossible for their large submarine to chase after the enemy. "Prepare the mini-submarine," ordered Blue. "I'll ride on it too."
-]||[-
"Hooh?"
Master Roshi watched passively as aircrafts blotted the sky while several ships made their way toward his small island. There was no doubt that these were the bad guys that Kefla mentioned. "They sure arrived here fast enough."
He started doing some stretches just as one of the aircraft touched down, an obese man with a funny moustache stepped forward, while the ships docked, and dozens of soldiers spilt onto his precious island.
The obese man stepped forward with a confidence that showed his arrogance, and ignorance. "Fufufu, so you must be the scientist that invented the radar, eh?"
Roshi tilted his head. "Scientist? Me?"
The obese man laughed scornfully. "There is no use acting dumb now. We already know all about it."
Roshi almost laughed. If they knew even anything about him, they'd not call him a scientist, and they'd arrive with a much larger force. "Who are you people?" Kefla didn't really give him any clue about who these assholes were.
"The Red Ribbon Army!" The man announced proudly.
"Hoh?" It was nice to put a name to the face, and what a name it was. "I've heard about you people. You don't exactly have the best reputation." That was putting it mildly; rape, murder, torture, genocide and many other crimes were attached to this name or so he recently heard. "People say that you're the worst army to ever grace the planet, and you take even the evil acts to the most extreme."
"That's right!" The man said proudly as if Roshi just praised him. "Glad that you know of us, it makes our job far easier."
"I see… and just what do you people want of this humble old man to invade his island?"
The man grinned maliciously. "We want the Dragon Ball that little bitch left with you. My superiors will take care of her in the meanwhile."
He had taught his students to kill only if necessary, and only if they were sure the enemy didn't deserve a second chance or if they were immediately threatening the lives of innocent people. The Red Ribbon Army, and someone clearly proud of being part of it, didn't deserve any mercy, however.
"That's simple enough, I agree," said Roshi with a nod. "But what if I refused?"
"We'll kill you, of course." The obese man chuckled alongside his goons.
Roshi shook his head. "Well, I guess, I have to fight back then!"
With a swift strike, Roshi punched the man in the chest, the force of the punch travelling inside and rupturing his heart. The fat man collapsed with blood falling from his mouth, much to the shock of those present.
Roshi didn't give them any time to snap out of their shock as he went to town on them. A roundhouse kick saw one soldier's neck snapped, while a jab from his staff pierced through the heart of another one. A split saw him kick two soldiers at the same time, before with a solid grip, crushing the skull of another like a watermelon.
One of the soldiers snapped out of his daze and started firing his machine gun at Roshi, uncaring that he was hitting some of his allies. Roshi's hands blurred until CLACK, the machine gun was empty. The soldier stared at Roshi who grinned and let the bullets fall from his hands leaving one. With a swift flick of his wrist, the bullet flew and pierced right through that soldier's brain.
The pilots in the aircrafts apparently decided that enough was enough; not caring about their comrades, they started firing a hail of bullets at Roshi. He dodged around or deflected the bullets at the soldiers still alive around him. Having had enough of them, Roshi jumped high, tearing through one aircraft before landing on top of another one.
The pilot panicked as everyone turned their guns on him. He didn't need to worry, however, as Roshi cupped his hands, brilliant Ki gathered inside of it. "Kamehameha!"
The beam wasn't at its strongest, but Roshi didn't need it to be, just for it to be steady enough. As soon as the beam tore apart every aircraft in a straight line, Roshi pivoted, spinning around in place, creating a vortex of death as every aircraft exploded. Ending the attack, Roshi jumped off the aircraft, but just as he did, he caught its wing and using his momentum, threw it at one of the ships anchored on his lawn causing both of them to explode. He fell on top of another ship. Men rushed him, but he danced around them, torn limbs and hearts flying away.
Another ship fired its guns at the one he was standing in, and he had to jump to avoid the explosion. Two ki blasts later, and the last two ships went down without a problem.
"Well, that takes care of that." He perked up as he looked at the clock. "Oh? It's time for that on TV!" With a perverted giggle, he went inside the house.
-]||[-
"Should I fire the torpedoes now Sir?"
Blue sighed in frustration. "No. If you fire now, then we'll also be in trouble if the cave collapses." Seriously, his men could be so trigger-happy sometimes.
Soon, they arrive at a part of the cave with air trapped in it. The enemy submarine was there, but clearly empty. "She must be already ahead," he said as he took in the weird tunnel ahead of him. He had a feeling that more surprises were laying in wait there. Before he could follow, another man stopped him.
"Sir, we received a transmission from HQ."
"Give it to me," Blue said impatiently before his face transformed into pure shock as he heard the news from the other side. "They were all wiped out!?"
-]||[-
Kefla walked carefully through the tunnel. It was so dark, that even her enhanced sight was having trouble seeing anything. Suddenly, her hand, which was moving alongside the wall, pressed something. Bright yellow light filled the area, momentarily blinding her. It took her a few moments for her eyes to adjust, and when they did, Kefla gazed suspiciously at the artificial lights installed in the ceiling of the cave.
"Why the hell is there light in here?" Looking around, she noticed signs that some of the walls were worked on by tools instead of being naturally like that. "So someone was here before?"
She then saw a skeleton wearing a long coat with a big hat that had a skull and crossbones on it. "Ah, must be some pirate base… cool!"
After another half an hour of walking, Kefla came upon a curious sight. The next part of the tunnel was completely smooth, clearly by tools, and small holes lined the walls while dots filled the ground. Suspicious, Kefla took a small pebble and threw it at the ground. As soon as it landed on one of the black dots, an arrow flew from one of the holes in the wall.
Kefla snorted. Such a trap would be effective against normal people, but against her? She simply floated and flew at a low speed, easily clearing the trap without triggering it in any way. She turned, looking down at the trap. "Pathetic!" She then continued on her way.
-]||[-
Blue sighed as he gazed at his butchered men. The stupid idiots have gotten enthusiastic when he guessed that the girl didn't have any weapons on her, and rushed ahead only to fall for the trap.
He had already figured that this cave was actually a pirate base, so a trap like this wasn't out of the question. "Incompetent fools." He spat at the corpses of his men before he started checking the walls.
"The pirates themselves wouldn't be able to get past this, so there is most likely another way."
After a few minutes of searching, he found a rock that looked out of place, moving it revealed a red button. "Aha!" A part of the wall opened up, revealing a secret tunnel. "My genius is almost freighting. I'm coming for you, girlie."
-]||[-
"Woah!"
Kefla was surprised to find a vast underground base with various rundown buildings, old vehicles and even a warship docked to one side. This place was clearly the base of a very successful, and very strong pirate crew. "And a very dead one," she said as she looked at the few corpses around.
She scanned the area, but seeing nothing, she moved to an opening on the other side as it was where the radar was leading her.
"Hm?"
She tensed, sensing a hostile presence coming from somewhere. It didn't feel human though. Scanning the area again with her senses, she barely dodged as something burst out of the wall near her.
It was a massive robot with a weirdly shaped skull that reminded Kefla of that Alien movie that Bulma has shown them. It had a massive sword that it used to attack Kefla. Dodging swiftly, she retaliated with a kick that broke the sword. She followed with a kick that turned its head in place, but no obvious damage.
The robot aimed its second arm, a machine gun mounted on it, and started firing on Kefla. She dodged expertly, before stepping inside the robot's guard and delivering a strong punch to its torso that sent it a few meters back. Seeing that aside from a small crack, the robot didn't appear to be damaged, made Kefla grin.
"Finally, something fun."
She rushed at the pirate robot and punched it, before getting punched in return. Its punches hurt, but nothing she wouldn't be able to handle. An exchange of punches followed, Kefla ginning manically all the while, heart pounded faster as she deliberately prolonged the fight to enjoy it.
It's been a few days since she got a good workout, the butchery of the RR morons didn't count in her mind.
Hair on her body rising, Kefla jumped backwards, dodging a stream of flames that suddenly came out of the robot's hand. "A flamethrower? That's cheap." She was disappointed that the robot went for a cheap shot while she was enjoying their exchange of fists. "And here I was thinking we were getting along nicely."
The robot answered by opening up his shoulders and shooting several missiles towards her.
"Shit!" She jumped back, avoiding the explosion before she fired several Ki blasts that took out a second volley of missiles.
"Time to finish up then."
She blurred, suddenly appearing inside the robot's guard before she let loose a devastating series of punches, ending it with an uppercut that sent the robot flying toward the ceiling of the cave. The robot cracked before exploding in a massive explosion, rocking the whole area. Kefla blanched as the ceiling cracked, spreading outward as the whole place groaned. "Oh, shit!"
She turned and ran toward the tunnel where the Dragon Ball was supposed to be, cracks spreading everywhere. The tunnel was clearly man-made and split into two paths. Fortunately, Kefla didn't need to think much on it as she just followed the Dragon Radar, choosing the right path.
A few moments of running, more and more cracks and rocks falling down, Kefla found herself at a dead-end. Or at least it appeared so before she spotted a well. "Well, here goes nothing." She stripped completely naked, she never wore underwear anyway, and dove through the water, radar in hand.
After two or three minutes of diving, Kefla found herself in another air-filled cave. Things were quieter here, but she could still feel the tremors even from where she was.
There was a massive chest, which given this was a pirate base, was surely filled with treasure. Kefla didn't care as she had no interest in gold. What did she want for money anyway? Bulma did teach her the value of money for the average person, but Kefla could live in the forest and get everything she wanted on her own. Kakarot was the same, and Krillin didn't need much either. Bulma was… Bulma: the richest teenage girl in the history of the planet.
In any case, the Dragon Radar was pointing toward a small pond. With a sigh, she jumped down quickly as she noticed a small crack forming in one of the walls. After a few moments of searching at the bottom, Kefla found the Dragon Ball. Proud of herself, she resurfaced.
As soon as she got out, a clapping sound reached her ears.
"Ho, ho, ho… So you've got the Dragon Ball," a slimy voice said. "Now hand it over."
-]||[-
Kefla looked up to see a blue-eyed, blonde-haired, tall shirtless man smirking at her. His smirk disappeared as Kefla stood up, completely revealing herself.
The man sneered at her, his cheeks covered in pink. "Indecent woman! Why the hell are you naked?"
Kefla scoffed. What was it with humans and getting flustered at seeing naked bodies? "Who the hell are you, moron?"
The man glared at her, puffing his chest proudly as he introduced himself. "I'm General Blue of the Red Ribbon Army."
She narrowed her eyes at that. "Red Ribbon, eh? You're one of those morons then." She put the Dragon Ball between her breasts, using her trained muscles to squeeze the Dragon Ball in place before she took a fighting stance.
"Right, you killed Colonel Silver and Captain Yellow." He took a stance of his own. "Don't put me on the same level as those lowlives."
They stood still, taking the other in for a few moments. A small rock falling and hitting the ground was their signal. Both sprang into action. Blue's punch was dodged, and he jumped to avoid a swipe from Kefla's leg. A strike from him was blocked by Kefla who winced a little. He is much stronger than that stupid robot. She sent a punch that Blue blocked by crossing his arms in front of his chest. It still made him skid a few steps back, a bruise forming on his arms.
"Hiya!"
They jumped at each other, Kefla's punch blocked while Blue's elbow nailed Kefla in the cheek. Her head turned with the force of the impact, some spittle flying from her mouth.
CRACK
More cracks filled the cave as tremors grew. Kefla jumped back to give herself a bit of distance before she pounced. Blue attacked, but his punch phased through Kefla's afterimage. "Huh?" He turned back and was met with a foot to the face that sent him crashing into the wall.
"How do you like that?"
Blue stood up shakenly, a hand on his face. "My beautiful face! You just kicked it, didn't you?" He removed his hand only for his face to pale. "B-Blood!?" Indeed, some blood was falling from his nose and mouth. "My noble and lordly blood…" He glared at Kefla. "YOU DARE!?" His blue eyes shone, and suddenly Kefla found herself unable to move.
"W-What?"
Blue stepped menacingly up to her, a grin full of malice stretching his face. "I'll kill you as thanks for harming my beautiful face." He then proceeded to kick Kefla with all his might.
She was folded in the middle before falling down to the ground helplessly. Shit, she silently cursed in her head as she was unable to even talk. The Dragon Ball fell as she was unable to use her muscles anymore. Blue smirked smuggling before raising his foot and bringing it down on her. Again, again he hit her without mercy as rocks started falling around them.
"Not enough!" he growled, straddling her stomach before he started wailing on Kefla's face. She was unable even to groan in pain as the bastard brutalized her. He stopped for a moment, and she thought he was done before he picked up a large rock and held it above her face.
SHIT! Even if she somehow survived what was surely going to follow, there was no way she was going to be able to move to escape in time before she was buried under the rubble.
Shit. I'm not going to die here! Anger filled her at the thought of such pathetic death. If I die then I won't be able to see Bulma anymore… or Kakarot… I won't be able to train with Master Roshi and Krillin. Was she not going to see her friends anymore? Let this bastard kill her? The thought of not seeing them, especially her Kakarot and Bulma was too much. Fire coursed through her veins, her eye turning yellow for a moment as her power skyrocketed. Brilliant red ki exploded from every part of her body throwing Blue back, disintegrating the rock and sending a pillar to the sky through the thick rocks above, the ocean above, and into the clouds in the sky.
"LIKE HELL I'LL LET YOU KILL ME!"
Water came pouring down from the ceiling, but Kefla paid it no mind as the tremors grew worse. A groaning sound was heard, but it was a distant thing for the rage-fuelled Kefla.
In an instant, Kefla was on him. Her punch tore through his hasty raised arm, turning into a misshapen mess. She grabbed Blue's feet and started smashing him into the ground. Both his front and backside were targeted, breaking almost every bone in his body. She threw him so hard that the wall broke, revealing another room with a giant octopus in it.
Kefla didn't care or stop.
She formed a ball of red ki in each hand before she started compressing it, making it smaller and smaller. Rotating the sphere was followed, done in instant thanks to her improvement from training with Master Roshi. Brinignher hands together, the spinning spheres clashed, each rotating around itself in a different direction that attracted them to each other, sparks flying from the contact. Then, they began spinning around each other like two vortexes with their surfaces touching.
"MAGNETIC BOMB!" She roared, launching her attack. It travelled so fast, neither Blue nor the Octopus could react to it. The attack struck them, and for a moment the world stopped before Blue was propelled back in a cyclone of wind, the orbs grinding through his body.
A moment later, the attack exploded. Fire and brimstone erupted, a heated shockwave that vaporised everything in its vicinity. The explosion erased the rocks of the cave and part of the ocean water behind it. For a moment, the world stood still again, before ocean water came rushing in.
Kefla barely had time to take a deep breath and get the Dragon Ball back between her breasts before she was swept by the powerful ocean water. The entire cave system was collapsing, unable to withstand the damages left by Kefla.
Shit, I don't have the strength to swim all the way up or even enough air in my lungs. Thinking quickly, Kefla cupped her hands, gathering Ki between them. Kamehameha! She roared internally, firing the ki beam beneath her to propel her upwards.
A massive geyser erupted from the ocean upwards, and from it was Kefla just in time to breathe some fresh air. She was more than two hundred meters in the air, her Kamehameha about to run out of steam. She had no strength left in her body, and falling into the ocean meant drowning. Thankfully, she saw Kame Island not far from where she was. With the last of her strength, she put everything into her Kamehameha, angling it a bit to throw her in the direction of the island.
It was enough, as she went crashing down into the sandy beach just in front of a surprised Master Roshi. He gave her one look before throwing a shirt on top of her, covering her nakedness.
Kefla raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised a pervert like you would be so considerate," she snarked.
Roshi rolled his eyes. "I'm a pervert, but even I won't perv on my own student."
Kefla nodded, taking in the island around her; wrecked vehicles, corpses and blood filled the place. "What the hell happened here?" she asked before her world turned black. Her strength was simply depleted.
-]||[-
Goku and Krillin looked at each other as they suddenly appeared in a wide room, each coming from a different path and arriving at the same time. Both were wounded, and tired, but otherwise alive and kicking.
The room was huge with a large stairway leading to the second floor.
"Krillin! You're okay?" Goku asked, happy to see his friend.
Krillin nodded. "Yeah… What about you? You look more injured than I remember."
"I fought a tough guy that tried to, and actually got to eat me… I won in the end," Goku said simply, making Krillin sweatdrop at the ease he talked about being eaten.
A sudden sound of clapping caught their attention. They turned toward the stair to see a man standing at the very top of it. He was tall and handsome looking. His skin was pale blue with two sharp red eyes and pointy ears. His hair was styled similar to Goku's though his was symmetrical and he had a widow's peak. He wore a formal black suit completed with a red bow tie.
"I congratulate you, you two. You managed to defeat my strongest minions and made it this far," said the man smugly and with a flourish.
"Your minions…" said Krillin.
Goku figured it out too. "That means you're Lucifer."
A flicker of irritation flashed in those inhuman eyes. "Yes, I'm Lord Lucifer. Congratulations on making it so far." Two long fangs grew from his mouth as he smiled at them. "Now, entertain me for a while before I kill you."
"Sorry, but you're the one who's going to die today," retorted Goku as he and Krillin took a fighting stance.
Lucifer chuckled. "What a funny fellow. You have no idea what you're dealing with, monkey! The power that is in front of you. I'm Lord Lucifer!"
Goku blinked, tilting his head. "Yes, you've already said that."
"Seriously, you have nothing new to add?" said Krillin.
A vein popped on Lucifer's forehead. "Insolent vermin! You dare mock me, Lord Lucifer?! You think you even have a chance of winning? Too bad for you!" Lucifer's eyes shone bright red. Goku stiffened, ready to see what would happen. "No human or demon can escape my Blood Control!"
Blood control? Thought Goku, not feeling anything different in his body. He looked at Krillin and saw him pale, frozen.
"I can't move my body, Goku!"
"Fufufu!" Lucifer laughed. "Now you see how futile it is to fight me. All humans and demons touched by my royal eyes are but puppets in my hands!"
I see. Thought Goku. "Well, too bad for you." He disappeared, leaving a crack in the ground where he stood. He appeared on Lucifer's left side, hovering in the air before he delivered a strong kick that connected to Lucifer's cheek. "I'm not human!"
Lucifer was sent flying through a wall, causing a cloud of dust to emerge. Goku looked at his friend. "You okay, Krillin?"
"Yeah, as soon as you hit him, I regained control of my body."
Goku nodded before he turned to Lucifer who emerged from the dust. A blue bruise on his face that healed the next moment. "Who the hell are you brat? What are you?"
Goku grinned, taking another fighting stance. "I'm Son Goku. I'm a Saiyan, from Earth."
"A Saiyan?" Lucifer questioned in confusion. "You're not human then."
Goku sweatdropped. "I've already said that I'm not. Man… you're really stupid."
"You dare?!" Lucifer growled before he rushed at Goku brandishing his claws like nails. He sent several jabs at Goku who danced around them. "Stay still!" Lucifer snarled but he was cut off from attacking as Krillin shot at him, burying his feet in Lucifer's other right cheek, sending him crashing into another wall.
"Don't forget about me!" Krillin said as he landed beside Goku.
The wall exploded as an enraged Lucifer emerged from it. "Such insolence! Both of you! To dare sully my beautiful face with your dirty feet!"
"Dude, this is a fight," said Goku, not impressed with the demon in front of him. "Don't try to be in one if you're afraid of getting dirty."
Lucifer only growled as he thrust his hands and started shooting a shower of red ki balls at them. "Die! Die! Die! Die!"
Goku and Krillin danced through the attack, getting closer to the demon. Then, Krillin suddenly stopped and he was struck by several Ki balls which exploded on contact, sending him flying.
"Krillin!" Goku screamed his friend's name as he continued dodging the ki balls. He must have used Blood Control on him!
"I'm fine!" Krillin said, jumping back in. He was more injured than before, but not by much. "His attacks aren't that strong." He then fired several ki blasts of his own, forcing Lucifer to halt his attacks to dodge.
Immediately, Goku and Krillin were on him, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Both were tired and wounded, so they sought to finish the fight as fast as they could. Lucifer proved to be troublesome to deal with. His Blood Control stopped Krillin mid-fight from time to time, allowing him to land hits on Krillin, and on Goku who would move to protect Krillin.
That didn't mean they didn't land their own hits on him, but much to their astonishment, any bruise or wound they inflicted on him, healed in an instant.
"Shit, he has regeneration!" Krillin stated the obvious.
"Let's see its limits," said Goku.
They looked each other in the eye and nodded.
They rushed at Lucifer at the same time. Each time Lucifer thought to use Blood Control on Krillin, Goku would step in front of Krillin to intercept it. Goku dodged a punch and fired two small Ki blasts.
"UGH!" Lucifer screamed in pain as the Ki blasts destroyed his eyes, though a moment later, they regenerated as good as new.
Lucifer glared at Goku. "I'm going make you wish for death!"
"Here's your death!" A voice yelled from behind, Goku jumped backwards, putting distance between himself and Lucifer.
Lucifer turned around, realising that he had forgotten about the second brat. The bald monkey was behind him, a large ball of Ki in front of his right hand.
"Destructo Ball!"
The attack was too fast for Lucifer, who was hit right in his chest. For a moment nothing happened before bright light filled the room, and a massive explosion engulfed the Demon King. Lucifer howled as thousands of small Ki saws tore into his body, destroying it completely.
Krillin landed near Goku, falling to one knee as he panted. "That… took almost all of my remaining energy," he confessed.
"Well, at least we wo-"
His words died in his throat as Lucifer's energy came back with a vengeance. Both boys watched in stunned silence as Lucifer's body reformed back from nothing. Krillin gulped, standing weakly, knowing that the fight wasn't over.
Lucifer stood, his form looking as pristine as ever. His eyes were bloodshot as he levelled them with an intense glare, veins clear on his big forehead, pulsing in anger.
"Useless," he said softly before a maniac gleam shone in his eyes as he started chanting. "UselessUselessUselessUselessUselessUselessUselessUseless!"
"I'm immortal! I'm invincible! Your party tricks will never kill me!" With a roar, he jumped through the ceiling, disappearing from their view.
"Where did he go?" Krillin asked.
Goku didn't answer as he narrowed his eyes, trying to search for a solution to Lucifer's immortality.
Lucifer wasn't gone long. He crashed down from the 2nd Level and in his hand was a small jar full of blood-red gems that gave Goku the creep.
"I'm going to make you pay! I, Lord Lucifer, will make you wish for death!"
"You really love repeating yourself, don't you?"
A vein in Lucifer's forehead burst. "You fools! You shall soon know true power!"
Lucifer raised the jar and emptied it into his mouth. Both kids cringed at the sound of Lucifer's teeth crunching the hard gems. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, Goku sensed it. Lucifer's vile energy pulsed before it expanded rapidly. His muscles bulged, his hair turned golden and his eyes were two shining blood-red gems that promised untold pain.
"I'll not let anyone swagger over me!" With a roar, he sent an energy pulse.
A moment of silence followed before red liquid burst out of the floor from every direction. Not red liquid, Goku realised. Blood!
"In this world, there is only the weak and the strong! And the job of the weak is to serve the strong!"
The blood floated around Lucifer like a torrent of raging water.
"Their very soul and suffering fuel the Blood Rubies and thus my power. Their blood serves me, and their very flesh and bones are meals to my dogs!"
Both boys gasped, realising that they were seeing what the suffering of those villagers that died before they came, was being used for. Goku's hands were white with how much he was clinching them. Anger filled him as he looked at the bastard in front of him. To think that those who died would suffer in death as they suffered in life. To see their blood being used by this monster.
"You bastard… How many people have you killed?" Asked Krillin looking at all the blood filling the room. There was still blood erupting from the very ground like fountains.
Lucifer smirked in amusement. "How many breads have you eaten in your life? Did you care to remember every scrap of food you eat?"
This bastard growled Goku.
Before he could move, Krillin was the first to rush forward. Lucifer didn't waste time to send waves of blood, curved like blades at him. Krillin scoffed, but Goku noticed the way those blood blades sliced through the stone floor like a hot knife through butter.
"Krillin!" He tried to warn his friend, but he was too late. One of those blades sliced through his guard, tearing open a large wound on Krillin's torso.
"BOIL!"
Krillin suddenly screamed. His agonizing screams filled the destroyed hall, making Goku's hair stand up.
"What are you doing to him!?"
"Hahahaha!" Lucifer laughed maniacally. "I may not be able to control you, Saiyan! But at my current level, I can make any human's blood boil on command!"
Goku's blood did boil as Krillin's horrifying screams chilled him. How dare he! White hot anger filled him. His eyes turned yellow, power erupted from inside of him like a tsunami. With a roar of a raging beast, he rushed at Lucifer.
Lucifer laughed at him and sent a swirling wave of blood towards him. His laugh disappeared as Goku burst through it as if it wasn't there, Ki engulfing his body. Surrounding it.
In a moment, Goku was upon Lucifer. He roared again before he went berserk on him. Goku punched, kicked and jabbed with all of his might. A punch destroyed Lucifer's hand before it regrew. Another kick saw it destroyed again. Blood and gore filled Goku's vision, not letting up on his storm of attacks. Any damage he dealt, Lucifer healed from immediately.
"You're finished?"
The question asked so softly froze Goku for a moment. It was all Lucifer needed to bury his fist deep into Goku's gust. Goku's body bent in half for a brief moment before he was sent flying, vomiting blood. His eyes went back to normal, strength leaving his body.
Lucifer didn't give him the chance for a breather. He was upon Goku in a moment, attacking him with punches far stronger than his previous one.
"Weakling!Weakling!Weakling!Weakling!Weakling!"
Goku's whole body hurt as he tried to block Lucifer's attacks. His muscles tore and his bones creaked in protest each time he blocked a punch or a kick. Shit, at this rate… Another punch sent him reeling.
"This is the end!" Lucifer announced.
Goku stared, unable to do anything as Lucifer went to deliver the killing blow. Before he reached him, however, a foot landed on Lucifer's cheek. His whole face distorted before he was launched away from Goku. Krillin landed, falling to his knees, unable to stand any longer.
"Are you alright, Goku?"
Goku nodded. "Thanks, Krillin." His eyes widened then as he saw Lucifer upon them again. His hands extended like claws aiming at Krillin, and a vortex of blood followed him. Goku knew that he'd not be able to reach Krillin in time in his state, so he used the first thing that came to mind.
"Extend!" His trusty Power Pole extended, striking Lucifer in the cheek, and sent him rolling a few meters away.
Krillin sighed in relief as Goku was saved once again. He looked at Lucifer, the bruise forming on his cheek as he glared at them.
"Insects that don't know when to die…"
Wait, the bruise! It's not healing… It was then that Krillin remembered a legend about blood-sucking monsters. Vampires that can only be killed by a stack of wood. That's it! He hoped that he was right, for he didn't see any other chance of them winning otherwise.
"Goku! Use your Power Pole!"
Goku looked at Krillin in bewilderment, but he trusted his friend. With a mighty yell, he threw the Power Pole as hard as he could. His trusty companion flew true and sank into Lucifer's heart.
Lucifer staggered. "Don't you listen? There is nothing that yo-" He froze mid-speech, his features twisting into an ugly expression.
Goku and Krillin watched in fascination as Lucifer's body slowly turned into stone, starting from where the Power Pole was. It seemed to finally sink into Lucifer that this was the end. He took a step forward and fell.
"What?! I-Impossible... I-I am Lucifer... I am the mighty Lucifer!"
He finally turned fully to stone, before cracks spread all over his body and he broke into pieces, leaving the Power Pole alone.
Goku waited for a few moments, half suspecting Lucifer to reform again. Nothing happened.
"We did it… " He said with a grin. Too tired to move or do anything else for now.
"T-That worked…" Krillin said in disbelief that his place worked.
-]||[-
Krillin and Goku collapsed just as they crossed the portal. They were simply too tired and injured to move any further, but they'd won, and they'd vanquished the evil that haunted this area.
And now they were unable to move, vision turning blurry as the world was blackening on its edge. A presence was felt by both of them, but they couldn't do anything if it was an enemy. The figure moved, and Goku felt a soft hand caressing his face before a pink light surrounded his body before he felt his pain disappearing, every single injury being healed. He groaned as he sat up, seeing that Krillin was similarly healed, and staring at him in shock.
A soft melodious voice alerted them of their saviour. "I've healed your bodies, but I can't restore your energy and stamina."
Goku turned to the speaker, his breath hitching as he saw her.
She looked to be in her twenties and as tall as Bulma was. Her pinkish-red hair hung in two loose curls framing her face, while the top was done in a tight topknot. She had pink, purple-ish flawless skin with dark grey eyes and long, pointed ears. She wore a weird fuschia robe that hung loosely around her shoulders, exposing a generous bust with yellow sleeves that were puffy at the base. The robe was held by a red ash, and beneath it was a fuschia Chinese dress, leaving her long legs exposed. She finished her look with a pair of white high-heeled boots that reached to the middle of her calves.
Goku felt his cheek heating up, which was weird, as it only ever happened when he stared at Kefla and Bulma.
"Thank you for helping us," said Krillin, snapping him out of his trance.
She waved them off. "I'm always ready to help you when I can, Krillin, Goku."
"Wait, how do you know our names?" asked Goku. He was pretty sure that he hadn't met this woman before in his life. He would have remembered for sure if he did.
Her eyes widened before she giggled. Goku thought that he saw her wince for a very short moment. "I forgot that we've not met yet. I'll leave the introduction for when we actually meet."
"What?" They asked at the same time, utterly confused by her words.
She giggled again, the sound oddly soothing and familiar to Goku. "Never mind that," she said before her eyes turned cold as she looked at the portal. "You shouldn't have to deal with this. Someone is playing a dangerous game." She stepped forward, raised her hand and started chanting in a strange language.
Goku watched in awe as the portal closed as if it was never here.
"Someone used the time dilation from the Demon Realm…" She was talking to herself. "Probably it's them to mask some other distortion."
"Time di-what?" Goku asked, tilting his head.
She seemed to notice that she wasn't alone. "Oh? That? Time dilation. There is a time difference between this world and the Demon Realm."
"Wait… this isn't like only a few hours passed in there, but it's actually three hundred years in our world, is it?" Krillin asked fearfully.
The woman blinked, before laughing; a musical laugh. She shook her head. "Nothing that drastic, but the few hours you spent inside? Well, a little over three months have passed."
Goku's eyes widened in shock as Krillin screamed. "Three months!?"
"Yes."
Goku didn't sense that the woman was lying. In the first place, he got a weird feeling that he should trust this woman. Of course, it meant that now he was worried, thinking about whether Kefla and Bulma were searching for them.
"Anyway, please make sure to continue on your previous path," the woman said. "The Dragon Ball isn't there any more." Krillin brought out the radar and confirmed her words. "But you should reach that location, it was there," she seemed to be talking to Krillin more than to him now before she turned to face him. "Then, you must follow the Dragon Balls, though take the most northern path, over the arctic mountains in the far north."
Krillin frowned. "Why?"
"There are some people that you must meet, and of course, meeting me for the first time too. Only following my advice would lead you to them." She shook her head, a sadness in her eyes. "I can't say anymore. Even what I said is actually forbidden."
"Okay," Goku said simply. He was always up to meeting new people, but it was also because he felt that he should be doing what she said.
"Goku?" Krillin looked at him in surprise.
"It's okay, Krillin. I trust her."
Krillin still looked unsure but nodded.
"Wonderful!" The woman exclaimed. "Let me give you this." A moment later, clothes identical to the ones they were wearing appeared in her hand.
"Wait, why are they too big?" asked Goku as he inspected his own while Krillin easily wore his clothes with no trouble.
"You'll find out tomorrow," she said with a wink. "Now, I must go."
"Wait," Goku called out to her. "Are you alright?" He noticed during their talk. The bags under her eyes, the pain in those grey eyes, and the laboured breath. The woman wasn't in perfect health.
She seemed to be shocked before a fond smile made its way to her full lips. She bent down, moving to hold Goku's face in her hands. "I'm alright, Goku. Thank you for asking." Her smile was a bit bitter. "Please take care of my other self."
"Huh?"
Before he could ask what she meant, the woman planted a gentle kiss on his forehead before she disappeared as if she was never there.

AN:
Well, it's been a while. I don't know how many of you read my other fics, so I'm copying an announcement I made in King of Enchanters. I understand if you don't like it, but really sorry.
So because I have a lot of shit to deal with like
1- IRL shit (Uni, lack of electricity, depression... etc.)
2- My muse is a fickle bitch and I can't really get it to focus on one thing
3- I don't have much free time so I just write whatever my muses want
among other things
I decided that I'll just post and update whatever story that I write without focusing on one specific story.
Aside from all this shit. Recently, I can no longer use my laptop, so I have to write on my phone which is hard.
Aside from all irl shit. This chapter was a nightmare for me to write. I knew what I wanted to happen, but I just couldn't actually write it. It took me 4 months just to write 2K words and get started.
So I really hope that you liked the chapter.
Now on the chapter itself. Kefla joined the current main saga officially.
She's taken over some of canon Goku's role in this saga, but don't worry, Goku will get his time to shine against the Red Ribbon Army.
Some, hopefully, nice Bulma and Kefla interactions at the start before Kefla started kicking RR's ass. I hope that you enjoyed the fight scenes. I wasn't going to include Penguin village as I think of it as pointless and a waste of time in a fic, so Blue died here.
Roshi got a moment to shine and show his worth too.
Then we have the final of the Demon Realm mini-arc. This fight was truly a nightmare to write. I used some Pokemon inspiration for the previous villains of this arc, but Lucifer didn't have exactly many things in common with any type of Pokemon.
I hope that you were satisfied with this. I'm not 100% myself, but I just need to be done with this chapter…
Chronoa officially makes an appearance! So this Chronoa is adult-sized? I wonder what that means.
I've hinted about something in one of Gero's POV and Chronoa here hinted at it. Some changes with the RR saga. She also hinted about a few more things that will come into play either soon or in the far future.
If you want a clear picture of what this Chronoa looks like, then check the unused concepts for adult Chronoa. I went with the middle design.
With this, the Demon Realm mini-arc is finished and the RR Saga is well underway. Next chapter will be Goku and Krillin continuing on their path. I wonder what they'll find there.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Please follow, favourite and review.
