Second Chances
Chapter IV: A Dark Plot Emerges
Previous ChapterThe Demon Realm, contrary to popular belief, is not the same as Hell. Rather, it is a physical plane on the opposite side of the known universe. It is a world untouched and unknown to even the Supreme Kais, for it lies outside their domain. This world is led by the Makaioshin- the evil god entities. It is a world inhabited by demons of all shapes and sizes. It also serves as the base of operations for a group of evil beings known as the Dark Demon Realm Army, ruled by the three demons Towa, Mira, and Dabura.
Recently, a call had been issued by Towa, informing the others to gather at the Makai world for a meeting. Within an hour, Mira and Dabura had arrived. When they landed, they were met with an amused Towa, flanked by two Saiyans. One of the Saiyans was dressed in black and beige colored Battle Armor, black pants, red armbands with black ones worn over them, and red leggings with black ones over them. The Saiyan also seemed to be wearing a white mask over his face, adorned with the symbol of the Time Breakers. The other Saiyan was dressed in a red bodysuit, white pants with a black sash tied around it, and gold armbands and boots adorned with blue gems. This Saiyan, unlike the other, was not wearing a mask, and a devilish smirk was on his face.
Dabura looked at Towa and said, "So, sister, it seems you've convinced Broly to join our ranks. And as expected, you didn't under exaggerate his power in the slightest."
Mira scoffed as he glared at Dabura. "Hmph. I doubt he's as strong as you say he is, Mira. How does adding one Saiyan to our ranks help us in any way?"
Towa gave a mischievous grin. "Why don't you show Mira your true power, Broly?"
Broly nodded, taking a few steps forward and stopping between Towa and Mira. He roared out as he began to power up. The ground began shaking violently, causing everyone to begin floating just above it. As Broly continued powering up, lightning began to strike the ground around him, and his screams became crazed laughter. Dabura and Mira both stared at Broly in shock. Towa smirked, knowing that the 'show' wasn't over yet.
Broly suddenly gave out a loud, blood-curdling scream, and his body exploded. As the dust settled, Broly was now much larger than before, both physically and in power. But, to everyone's surprise, Towa included, he didn't stop. His power continued to rise, and his aura flared out, lightning arcing around it. His hair glowed brightly, and began to grow longer, reaching past his waist. His power finally stopped climbing, and he looked up at the demons, a devilish look on his face. "Are you pleased, Miss Towa?"
Towa stuttered for a moment before replying, "Y- yes, Broly. You've done well enough. You may power down now."
Broly powered down to his Super Saiyan form and crossed his arms, beaming with pride at his accomplishment. Heh, I bet she didn't expect me to achieve Super Saiyan 3 in such a short time!, he thought to himself.
He's progressing faster than I thought, Towa thought to herself. If he continues at this rate, I won't be able to keep him under control. He'll get out of hand, and then he'll kill us all. She shook her head at the thought, then turned to her brother and husband. "Well, gentlemen, shall we get to business?"
The demons nodded. "Yes," said Mira, "As I recall, you summoned us, Towa. I am correct in assuming there's more here than just Broly?"
Towa nodded. "You are correct, Mira. There's another planet that I've found with vast amounts of energy. A planet called Equis."
At the mention of the name, the Saiyan that had remained on the ground suddenly charged at Mira, slamming his elbow into the demon's face. The masked Saiyan then charged at Towa and she lifted her staff, pointing it at the Saiyan's mask. A gem on the mask began glowing, and the Saiyan began clutching his head, as if in pain. After a few moments, the Saiyan stood up, unmoving.
It would seem as though planet Equis holds some sort of importance to him, Towa mused to herself. She shrugged. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. We did find him on that planet long ago.
"Equis? Didn't we visit that planet a few thousand years ago?" said Mira, rubbing his injury. "It's that planet with the ponies, right?"
"That's right," said Towa, "And that planet's now overflowing with energy just waiting to be collected."
"'Was' overflowing with energy, you mean." said Broly.
"What do you mean, 'was', Broly?" asked Towa.
"My good half destroyed a being on that world by the name of Tirek," Broly explained, "From what we could make of the situation, we both think that Tirek had somehow powered himself up immensely by using magic that he had absorbed from the planet's inhabitants."
"I see," Towa mused. "Come, Mira. We've work to do."
"You have a plan, Towa?" asked Mira.
"You bet I do, Mira. We're going to be gone awhile, Dabura. Could you watch Fu until we get back?"
Dabura shrugged absentmindedly. "I suppose I could. I don't see why, though. He's not exactly a kid anymore, you know."
"Just watch him," Towa said, grabbing Mira and disappearing from sight.
Dabura shrugged, turned around, and called out, "Fu? Where are you, Fu?" Suddenly, Dabura felt himself being lifted into the air. He tried to struggle, but an invisible force binded him, restricting his movements.
"Hello, Uncle Dabura," said a voice that made the Demon King's blood run cold. Dabura knew more about Fu than most did; not even Fu's parents knew as much as Dabura did.
"Hello, Fu," said Dabura kindly. "I assume you already know?"
"Pfft, of course I know, Uncle. Mother has once again tasked you with watching me!"
Dabura felt himself being lowered onto the ground. Once he was there, he turned around and faced his nephew. Fu was dressed in a large, heavy black cloak, and his hood was drawn up, obscuring his body from view.
Dabura watched as Fu seemed to glare at Broly. "Broly!" he said, "What did I say about showing off!?"
"My most sincerest apologies, Lord Fu," said Broly in a monotone voice.
Dabura gasped. "Your controlling him, Fu!?"
"Of course I'm controlling him," Fu replied dryly, "You don't honestly expect me to let Mother try to control someone she obviously can't, do you? Have you forgotten whose magic is stronger?"
Dabura sighed, rubbing his eyelids with his thumb and index finger. "I should have known it was you from the start, Fu. I assume Towa knows nothing?"
"Of course not," said Fu, chuckling to himself, "and neither does she know of my plan."
Dabura looked at him suddenly. "Plan? What plan?"
"Fufufufu," laughed Fu, forming a large crystal ball in front of him. "Come and see, Uncle. You will learn soon enough."
