The Demon race! So does that mean that Shallot is a demon? Trunks asked
No, she's a Saiyan, no doubt about that, but like Goku and your father she can process and use the antithesis of god ki, demonic ki! Chronoa explained
How is it even possible for her to use this energy? Elder Kai asked. I thought the realm was sealed and brought to ruin eons ago
Well, we aren't going to get any answers just sitting here asking questions into the void Trunks stated firmly. I'll take her back to her home, we can only hope she'll be willing to tell us more about who she is, if she can even remember anything at all.
I don't think it's a good idea to leave someone as volatile as her in Conton City Chronoa said fearfully
I think you've had enough good ideas Chronoa! Elder Kai contested disapprovingly. Lets do this Trunk's way, go on now we'll be here when you get back
After a few hours, shallot jolts awake in a cold sweat, and instead of being on Namek she finds herself in her bed. As she tries to recall what happened before she passed out she's hit with a painful headache, the only thing she can seem to recall is Rose coming to take care of her.
Stumped by her lapse in memory and driven by a need to remember Shallot recalls something told to her by Bulma
The parallel quest station! I could use that to sift through my memories Shallot says out loud excitedly
She quickly hops out of bed and makes her way to the quest station. The plaza of the Station is immaculately built, smooth uniform bricks line the path before a sudden switch to a smooth sleek futuristic pathway leading to the theater sized piece of tech. Just beside it sits a comically underdeveloped kiosk with a small round droid hovering within.
Shallot approaches the capsule corp robot in charge of the kiosk and asks "if it can replay memories instead of replicating fights" to which the robot surprisingly responds "yes"
"Proceed with caution! When searching through memories the chemical processes attached to them can overload the machine's calibration. This runs a risk of causing severe mental damage" the robot explains
Thanks for the warning Shallot says before heading in to the chamber
Whatever Shallot expected to see when she entered this machine was pushed out of her mind as she was underwhelmed and perplexed. It was like there was nothing at all, the walls within are white, smooth and perfectly symmetrical but when she takes a step forward in the middle of the room a console rises up silently giving no hints as to the mechanisms that allowed it to do so.
It takes a while to understand how it works and multiple times Shallot finds herself on the receiving end of a surprise punch from a generated enemy, but she eventually manages to start the sweep function and begins her trip down memory lane.
Meanwhile at the time nest
Your telling me you knew about this Trunks! Elder Kai Exclaimed
I tried to convince her otherwise but she wouldn't listen Trunks explained
Then you should have tried harder! Elder Kai snapped
As much as i'm enjoying this conversation can we move on to the task at hand Rose asked in a sarcastic tone
She has a point Uttered Chronoa eager to get the attention off her blunder
Where's shallot? Rose asks looking around
…
We took her back to her home after recovering her but that was hours ago now Trunks said trying to fill in the silence
She might not want anything to do with us after getting her memories back Chronoa said solemnly
As silence falls over the group from chronoa's words, Trunks' communicator watch goes off with his mother appearing on the screen.
Trunks! You need to come to the parallel quest station now! The energy readings are off the charts Bulma said while running
Did dad and Goku go into the chamber again!? Trunks asked panicked
No according to the logs the last person to enter was that new girl Shallot. Whatever she's doing in there it's going to destroy the chamber, which could possibly destroy the planet if she isn't careful Bulma mentioned casually
Crap! I gotta go this could be very bad Trunks said before running off to the portal
Wait i'm coming with you Rose said before quickly catching up
Trunks and Rose fly out of the time nest portal and quickly land near the parallel quest station where Bulma is standing and impatiently tapping her foot
What's the situation mom! Trunks asked panicked
We can't get in, Bulma said Defeated. Her energy surge messed with the locking mechanism so the doors sealed shut
Can't you just shut the whole thing down? Rose asked
If i do that it could cause irreparable damage to her psyche Bulma said even more panicked than she was before
Do we have a choice? If that thing explodes that's the end of everyone! Trunks said in a way that really reminded Bulma of Vegeta.
Bulma takes a deep breath and accesses the system's power supply with her computer and shuts the station down. The blinking lights and warning sirens all but cease and the door once previously locked opens and out walks shallot without an expression of any kind upon her face.
Shallot! What happened Trunks asks grabbing her shoulder
Shallot looks down at Trunks hands on her shoulder and quickly slaps it off; then she glares at Trunks reminding him of when he first laid eyes on her. Shallot quickly flies off toward the time nest without uttering a single word
We should follow her! Rose says adamantly. Who knows that she'll do
Inside the time nest Shallot walks through the portal and when she sets her eyes on Chronoa her power begins to bubble to the surface fueled by a whole cocktail of emotions that threaten to overwhelm her, but she just barely manages to keep herself in check and walks up to her with a scowl firm on her face.
Sh-Shallot it's good to see your okay Chronoa said with a nervous fidget
What's the next mission Shallot says not hiding the venom in her tone
That's right we've been so focused on this we had forgotten about the time scrolls Elder Kai said with shock
Shallot walks toward the inner sanctum and spots as she suspects a corrupt time scroll. With no hesitation she teleports to the area in time which happens to be Namek, this place doesn't bring back good memories and even succeeds in making her even more angry than she was before.
She clenches her fist trying to regain control over her mind and focus, but for just a brief second she lets her power get away from her and that slip was enough to catch the attention of anyone looking for signatures. Before she can bottle everything away above her are six people in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors.
Oddly enough, the six of them immediately get into a pose saying what Shallot can only assume to be their names. When they land the third largest of the group and in Shallot's opinion the weirdest looking one steps up to talk.
Hello Saiyan! He says with a sinister smirk. We seem to have picked up a particularly high power level in these parts. You wouldn't happen to know just who that power belonged to would you?
That was my power Shallot said Frankly
Now now monkey…
Ginyu doesn't even get to finish his likely insulting comment when a ki blast flies by his face leaving a deep cut on his cheek
I won't miss the next one, watch your tone Shallot says maliciously
A-apologizes old prejudice shining through, Ginyu says, trying to regain his bravado. What can I call you?
The dead never remember the names of their killer and as much as i don't want my name to fall out the mouth of a slack jawed lacky. I'll humor you, my names Shallot
Right Shallot, well then you say that power was yours correct? Then would you be so inclined as to show me this power Ginyu asked in a Subdued tone
Shallot now gorging on her saiyan pride obliges the aliens request powering up but only so much that it's a few leagues above Ginyu's
Perfect! Ginyu says with venom in his voice as he takes off his scouter and plunges his hand in his chest
This sudden attack on himself catches Shallot off guard, and although her face doesn't show it her tail certainly does as the fur stands on end for a few moments
Why did you do that to your body? Shallot asked coldly
Oh I didn't do this to my body! Ginyu said laughing and coughing up purple blood. I did this to your body! Change now!
A beam of light blasts out of Ginyu's mouth and enters Shallot's. After a bright flash of light, Ginyu's body flops to the ground like a limp noodle. His men quickly run up to Shallot's body congratulating him on the new powerful Form. Their celebrations for their captain are cut short when Burter gets a fist to the face sending him flying into a nearby cliff
Now that's strange, Elder Kai said, stroking his chin. If memory serves right she should be in Ginyu's body now
That's how it's supposed to work Chronoa said equally confused. what do you think happened in there?
C-captain!? Guldo manages to stutter out. What are you doing?
Shallot looks down on the little green man and shoots him a smile that makes his stomach sink
Your captain is dead! and although it infuriates me to no end that i can't kill you, there's no rule against beating you all within an inch of your lives
Shalot then punches Jeice in the face shattering his scouter and getting glass in his eye. Jeice lets out a pained screech and crumples to the ground. As he wallows in his own misery Recome pins Shallot in an arm lock; she responds by headbutting him in the face, knocking out a lot of his teeth and then blasting him with a generic yellow ki blast that burns his armor to ash and erases most of his hair.
Before she has time to turn around and finish off Recome time stops, in front of her Guldo stands with a few sharpened trees behind him, he says nothing as he launches these trees a Shallot with a look of maniacal joy on his face.
Before the tree hits Shallot she manages to move her head just far enough that the tree goes past her only grazing her cheek, neck and shoulder shredding a few layers of skin and almost exposing muscle in some spots. The sight of this scares Guldo into taking a breath effectively unfreezing time, she charges a ki blast but before she has the chance to fire it at Guldo a stray attack comes from outside her field of view and kills him immediately.
Whoever's there, show yourself! your bloodlust makes you stick out like a sore thumb Shallot shouted unamused
That's a lot of bravado coming from a wench Vegeta says stepping out from behind cover
A wench? Is that the best you can come up with? Shallot mocks
It's a fitting title for low class scum such as yourself he says flying up to her
And who might you be Shallot asks not breaking eye contact
You call yourself a Saiyan and you don't even know the visage of your Prince? Vegeta says mockingly with a hint of irritation
Prince? You just look like another goon to me short stack Shallot taunts back
It wouldn't be wise to test me girl, Vegeta said, cutting his eyes at her. I could kill you in an instant
Just tell me what your here for Shallot demands dismissively
The short bald one felt your power spike and thought you were in trouble Vegeta said. pointing to the mountain he had come from behind where Krillin and Gohan step out of
Shallot… did you really do all this Krillin asked with a trembling voice pointing to the bodies of the Ginyu force all moaning and groaning from their respective wounds
They got what they… agh! Shallot grunts in pain and slowly crumples to the ground gripping her head
Shallot! Krillin calls out flying over to aid her. Are you alright?
My head, my head feels like it's in a vice!
Almost immediately Shallot's ki begins spewing out of her. At first it's an unassuming white but soon it turns to an almost inky black carrying with it a strong malevolence. Upon her forehead another infinity symbol appears and her downpour of ki stops causing her to pass out
Shallot! Hey Shallot! Krillin yelled attempting to shake her awake
We need to move her away from here Krillin! Gohan urged
Your right Gohan let's go
Have you two lost your minds!? Vegeta interjects. She just fought off the Ginyu force, who not too long ago aside from Frieza were the biggest threats on this planet. If she loses it your all dead
We know her Vegeta! she won't hurt us krillin Affirms confidently. Now come on grab some of the dragon balls and lets get back to Bulma, the sooner we do this the sooner we can leave
What just happened!? Elder Kai asked bewildered. I thought the spell you cast on her broke?
You think I know!? Chronoa shot back equally confused. I wasn't the one to cast it this time
Then who did!? Elder Kai asked into the void
I wish I knew, but we've got bigger fish to fry old man! Chronoa yelled looking at the viewing scroll
What's wrong? Elder kai asks
Time is beginning to change Chronoa informs panicked. If this keeps up a new time ring will form
Can't you just reset it? Elder kai questioned
Not without anchoring Shallot to that point in time, which would permanently set the formation of the new time ring she started
Well where's Trunks? Just send him in to extract her
He's on a reconnaissance mission i can't call him back now
Supreme Kai of Time! Pick up Trunks voice calls from an orb
Yes Trunks what is it? Chronoa answered
I've tracked Mira he's heading to the same time line Shallot just entered and he's not alone
It's likely just Towa with him right?
No it isn't, the ki following Mira's is similar to Frieza and King Cold, and going from what i've seen Mira is acting alone
Alone!? Since when!? He's always taken orders from Towa Elder Kai interrupted
That's the thing I think he's changing, drastically at that. His ki feels more Saiyan among other things
Something doesn't feel right. Trunks! Follow Mira and this Frieza like tag along. I want to see what he does, maybe if we watch him we'll find that missing info. Also i want you to go back a bit further in time to around when Shallot is confronted by Ginyu and his men
Understood Supreme Kai of Time, i'll report back as soon as i can
With that the orb shuts off and Chronoa folds onto the table looking exhausted
This is just getting more and more complicated by the second Chronoa Exclaimed with a sigh
Well a job as high placed as yours is never easy, Elder Kai sympathized. We Gods aren't immune to error, what matters is that we correct the mistake.
accepting failure has never been my good point, but I wouldn't have taken this job if I didn't think I could handle the trouble. thanks old man Chronoa said warmly. Lets keep an eye on Trunks hopefully he can fix this whole mess
