Pikkon stood with his head bowed before King Yemma, ashamed of his failure in defeating Sevrin.

King Yemma towered over him, pointing his large finger at him. "Pikkon, what happened? You had him!"

Pikkon merely nodded. "I know…" King Yemma looked him over and sighed, shaking his head slightly.

"Pikkon, tell me again how he escaped."

At last, Pikkon straightened. "I was about to use my Thunder Flash Technique on him and he caught me off guard with a desperate combo.. It…it momentarily blinded me…when I regained my vision he was gone…I couldn't feel his energy either…"

King Yemma slammed his fists on his massive desk. "Alright…that means we have to double our efforts, talk to Frieza and Cell again, do whatever you have to do! I want him found before he ventures into the mortal realm! Imagine what he could do to unsuspecting mortals!" Pikkon nodded and got ready to pinpoint Sevrin's ki.

"I'm afraid it's worse than that," came a voice from behind Pikkon. Pikkon turned; it was The Supreme Kai! He bowed in respect. The Kai returned it. "It's a pleasure to see you again, Pikkon. I hear you fought valiantly. But I'm afraid I received a message from Moori…Sevrin attacked New Namek…" The three stared at each other; the tension streaking the air like steam. King Yemma looked him over.

"Sevrin is among the living…destined for earth…" The Kai nodded. "What should we do?"

The Kai ran his finger over his chin. "I'm going to warn Dende and the others, let them know that this monster has broken free...I'll also tell Goku to be ready. If I know Goku, he'll be training. He'll be ready for him." The Kai wasn't completely sure. Goku was the strongest fighter on Earth, but could he defeat Sevrin? He had one option left. Consult Elder Kai. He focused on his home planet, The Planet of the Kais, and in an instant, was there. There sat Elder Kai, sitting in his spot in the grass, whistling a tune with marginal difficulty. Supreme Kai smiled and walked up to him. "Elder Kai," he began.

Elder Kai looked to him, his eyes heavy with bags and his wrinkles more defined against his light purple skin. He rolled his eyes. "Now what?" he snapped. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

Supreme Kai cleared his throat, trying to hide the amusement in his voice. "I'd call sitting there struggling with a tune hardly busy."

Elder Kai rolled his eyes at him. "Alright, alright…what do you want?"

Supreme Kai threw his long white hair back. "A reading."

Elder Kai was about to ask a question until he saw the grave expression in his young protégé's eyes. He nodded and closed his eyes. "Alright, here it goes…" A soft yellow aura emanated from him and his eyes opened; fear lacing his face. "…I see darkness…the darkness smothers Earth like a blanket…oh dear…an ancient evil from another plane…yes…a thing from myth, a vampire…older and stronger than anything seen…but…"

Supreme Kai sat next to him. "Please, what else?" he urged.

"His power is growing…he seeks…sanctuary...power…control…"

"Sanctuary?" Supreme Kai asked.

"I don't understand these motives…they don't mesh…but…" He stopped, his eyes wide, images of hideous violence swirled in front of his all-seeing vision. He shook his head. "I see death…a woman…bled to death…I see him…grieving…the darkness began there…at that moment…he…"

Supreme Kai looked him over, the horror in the old man's eyes was too much for him to bare. "Please, Elder, stop…these visions…"

"No…" he said, "I must finish…He hunted down those responsible…their families, men in black and orange robes…a strange symbol…I see a list with names, and at the top…the letters 'MP' in fancy writing. The only named not crossed off…I see Goku presented with a choice, I see Vegeta…he's falling, his family crest, cracking down the middle…I…I…" Elder Kai fell over and Supreme Kai caught him. "I can see no more…" he said, gasping for breath. Supreme Kai shook his head, terrified that someone with such a violent background had, control over Cell's power, and subsequently, Goku and Vegeat's power. He looked to Elder Kai.

"Elder Kai…what can we do?"

"Whatever you do don't let Goku or Vegeta fight him! We mustn't risk our greatest fighters!"

"But he's attacked New Namek! Didn't your visions show that too!"

Elder Kai nodded. "Of course I saw that…" he said, halfheartedly. "…We can't allow him to gather more power…" he mused for a moment. "We must strike him while he's vulnerable. If he is heading to Earth he'll be confused…disoriented…we must attack him then! Get Goku and team up on him; that should be enough to stop him."

Supreme Kai nodded. "Did your vision show that?"

Elder Kai shook his head. "That's just a good old fashioned gut feeling." Supreme Kai nodded and opened his mind to Goku.

Goku…can you hear me? He waited desperately for a response.
