The warriors landed on Capsule Corp's front door and were greeted by their friends and family. The smiles the people shown had disappeared at the frowns the warriors sported. Gohan then left to check on his daughter and Bra. He left them at his father-in-law's house. Bulma ran up to her husband and asked, "Is everything all right?" She looked at Kyo, "Who is he?"

Piccolo pushed passed the banshee woman and went to her son and Gohan's brother. He looked down at the teens before grabbing them by their shirts and hauling the two up to his eye level. He growled, "Do you know where Mori went?"

Trunks shook his head quickly, "No. We couldn't find her. So we decided to let her blow off some steam. We figured that she would come back after she cooled down a little." The namekian dropped the boys and ran his hands over his face. He shook his head as he tried to keep himself from destroying the area.

Goten tilted his head, "What's wrong with him?"

Vegeta sighed mentally, "The blue insect, King Kai, had said that something happened to Mori," He paused, "Did any of you feel a strange power level when we were gone?"

Krillin looked over at Yamacha and Tein before nodding, "Yeah, we did. We didn't recognize the signature so we assumed that the power was from new Namek; from the person you were going to take down."

Goku shook his head, "No, King Kai said that it was Mori's signature with some one else's'. He said it was the strongest power level he had ever felt in his life time." The group paled while giving subtle looks at Piccolo; whom was pacing around the yard. Goku nodded, "Yeah. We need to find Mori fast or something might..."

"Dad! Piccolo!"

Goku and the others looked up in surprise. Gohan was carrying his unconscious father-in-law's body to the small crowd. The large man was bruised and cut with blood dripping from his arms and torso. Videl ran over to her husband when he touched ground. She bent near her father and shook his shoulder, "Dad? Dad!" She glanced up at Gohan, "Where is Pan?" Gohan didn't answer. She tried again, yet louder and with more panic in her voice, "Gohan, where is my baby?"

Bulma stood next to the young woman, "Where is my daughter Gohan!"

The half-breed shook his head, "I-I don't know! I went to the house and...The door was kicked in. When I entered...the place was in disarray. Everything in that place was in ruins and I found him knocked out on the floor. I searched the whole building and surroundings before I came here. I-I couldn't find them." The young man kept his composure but inside he wanted to break down and cry.

Tein grabbed the burly man from Gohan's arms. He stated calmly, "Let's get this big guy to a bed. When he wakes up he can give us the story."

Fire appeared in Videl's, Chi-Chi's and Bulma's eyes. They all screamed in unison, "What about my baby!"

Tein started to drag Hercule to the door, "We have no leads and jumping into something would be fruitless. When we learn what happened, we will find the girls."

As the rest walked into the estate, Piccolo stayed behind. He slowly flew to a small forest with a large, clear pond in the middle. He heaved a deep and shaky sigh as he collapsed onto the ground. He landed on his hands and knees as he stared at his reflection in the water.

He hated them all. They care nothing for Mori, he thought, Do they think that they are the only ones who lost someone? I hate humans! They are selfish creatures! He roared into the sky and punched the ground enough for the ground to shutter lightly and for the birds to stir. His shoulders stopped trembling as he slowly sat back. He rubbed his face. Perhaps I am the selfish one.

"Piccolo?"

Out of habit, the namek jerked his head back. Gohan stood with a solemn look on his face. His foot steps were muffled as he walked over to his friend. He held out a hand to his friend and helped him on his feet. The demi-sayian stuffed his hands in his pockets, "Hercule is about to wake up," He scuffed the dirt underneath his shoe," After we find what happened to the girls...you and I will find Mori."

A ghost of a smile appeared on Piccolo's face. He said, "Thank you...Gohan."


The group waited for the 'great'' Hercule to finish his soup. He made slurping noises as he drank straight from the bowl. After shakily placing his bowl down, he buried his face in his hands and stifled a sob. Vegeta slammed his hand on the wall, "You had your nutrition you pansy, now where is my daughter? Who took her?"

The poser laid his hands onto to his lap. He stuttered out, "It was all so fast. I was playing with the girls when all of a sudden the door was kicked down. That...that thing took them and drugged them somehow..."

Vegeta sneered, "Are you saying you didn't see the culprit's face?" Kyo scooted away from the prince in slight fear. (So called strong and fearless race.)

Mr. Satan shook his head, "Oh know. I remember that face. In fact, I have seen her face here many times. She is that pointed eared girl who spends time with Goten and Trinks over there."

Piccolo bared his fangs, "Are you saying that my Mori took them!" He didn't mean to say 'my'.

Hercule flinched back, yet didn't stop talking. He nodded, "Yes. It was her but...but she didn't look quite the same. Her skin was not her milky pale skin but it was a dark grey. Her-Her eyes were much like a snake's cold slit of eyes. The pupils were red while the whites were not white, but pure black. Her hair had red highlights, yet the main body of the hair was purple." Kyo paled the more the man described the monster.

"When she smiled, large razor sharp teeth glistened white. Her ears were twice the size it normally was. Talons replaced her fingernails and she had a tongue as long as a ruler. She sounded like the girl, yet there was a definite echo in her voice." He whispered, "It was the most terrifying three seconds of my life when I looked into her cold eyes."


It was apparent that everybody felt awkward out side of Hercule's room. The three women glared at Piccolo while the namek kept himself from strangling the fop in the other room. Kyo, on the other hand, was biting his fingernails while mumbling in some foreign language.

The utter mutterings had tired the prince's patience. A vein almost popped from his head before he yelled, "Speak man! You mumblings are getting on my nerves and right now, you are pushing your luck."

Kyo took his fingers away from his mouth. He grabbed his chest and said in a frantic, "We are doomed! We are all going to either die or be slaves! Eternal darkness forever." He walked around in a mad daze for a few more minutes. He took a deep breath and rubbed his head, "Sorry. I lost my composure there for a moment."

The others look at him in confusion. Vegeta nearly slapped the man, "What. Are. You. Talking about?"

Kyo pushed his fingers together, "Well, you see, I know what is going with your girl there."

Piccolo almost tripped over his feet as he ran to him. He said, "What the hell do you know?"

The alien pushed the man away, "Easy there big man, give me some space." He cleared his throat as he closed his eyes briefly, "When, what was her name again? Mori? Well, when Mori was born...skip that, lets talk about something before Mori was even conserved. Many, many centuries ago, our planet held our first people. We had people who were considered gods. They shaped the world and gave life to people."

"After hundreds of years have past, a few gods went insane because our people were becoming too powerful and the gods were becoming too old. The few with low control blew their gasket. They wrecked havoc on the entire planet. The remaining god like people managed to defeat them, but they couldn't kill them. Instead, they sealed them in glass balls."

"After finding another planet to live on, they sealed the demons into the infants who were stronger than the rest of the race. They made sure that the demon was not released again. Those people usually become the protectors of the planet. You see, Mori's mother had Kira, the demon of chaos. After she was born, her father sealed the demon into her. The girl was strong, that was true enough."

"What that oddly shaped man had said was that the demon inside her was let loose. She had taken control of her. That monster controls her movements and power." He paused, "There is no way to get rid of the demon, at least none that I know of. You can't kill the demon, or else the holder of the demon will die too. There is no way to stop it. Nothing at all."

"We are all doomed."

Hope this suit your tastes. You guys should read The Phantom of the Opera by the way. Just saying.
