Twilight the Saiyan
Chapter 30: Midnight Rampage!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs she was coming down from her laugh she start to talk to herself. "Finally after being stuck in Twilight's subconsciousness for over fifty years, I finally get my chance." said Midnight as she was stretching herself, feeling what it was like being in control for the first time. If it had not been for that Moon Princess she would have had gotten out a lot sooner. Both her and that damned Tempest made it so she was starving for any negative emotions, which had nearly killed her. But then fourteen years ago, she was starting to be feeded again, all that rage being held back, allowed her to feed on it and slowly gain enough power to take over. Whoever it was there was at fault for sending Twilight to this world, would have Midnight's thanks.
As she was finishing think to herself, she felt someone land behind her. And she knew who this was her so she turned with a evil smile, full of promise of pain. "Hallo there Tempest. It's good to see you in the waking world, and not just when you are looking where you are not welcome. But hey at least it was to late for you to do anything at that point." She finished as she looking into the eyes of Tempest who was standing with crossed arms looking at her in a way there told Midnight that Tempest had been ready for this to happen. Now how ready she is, that is the question that Midnight would like to know. But then again she doubt she can stop her now.
"I take it that it will be impossible to talk you into going back into Twilight's subconsciousness again Midnight?" Ask Tempest in a clam tone, while she transform into Super Saiyan, wanting to be ready for if Midnight decided to attack.
The question only made Midnight shake her head before she spoke. "I'm disappointed that you would even think to ask Tempest, for you know very well that I have been looking forward to this day. And what's even better there is not one single element in sight which is great!" As she said that she open a pocket space, and put her hand into it and start to look around for something. "Now where is it? If Twilight was able to do this then surly I can as well... Aha I found it!" And as those words left her mouth Midnight pull out Tranquil Night. Which made Tempest nervous do to knowing just how deadly the blade is.
As Midnight looked over Tranquil Night, she decide that she did not need to hold onto the scabbard. So she swung the sword fast enough to send it flying down towards the earth.
But before it hit the ground it was it was catched by Jeice, who landed in front of her and gave a small bow. "Can't lad this hit the ground now can we my Lordship?" asked Jeice. Not raising his head before being allow, which came as a surprise to everyone but Tempest.
This made Midnight Smile at Jeice before she looked back at Tempest. "Why can't you be like him Tempest? Knowing who to bow to?" she said before she turned to Jeice and let him raise.
"Now where were we? .Oh yes, now I recall it! And you can stop worrying! I'm not planning on using this on you." she said with a wave of her free hand. Before a twisted smile returned to her face. "I will make sure I take my time with you. But first we got some views of this little show of ours, and I want to play with them first!" And as she said this Midnight disappeared form Tempest view.
Which made Tempest speed out of the impact crater by just flying up, where she spotted Midnight about to cut Vegeta into two.
But a second before Midnight attacked Trunks got in the way and push Vegeta out of the way saving the prince's life. But at the cost of his own arm. As the blade flew into his Right shoulder, taking the arm clean off, while burning the wound shut, do to the fire Midnight was still carrying so at least he was not going to bleed out, but it still left Trunks a screaming mess on the ground. While Vegeta was more shocked then he has ever been before. The attack had come so fast, that he had not even seen her move before he was being pushed.
And everyone else who saw it was nearly as shocked as Vegeta. For even though Tempest had warned them, that Twilight was no longer Twilight, they had not believe her, but now there was proof. And just to make the point stand even stronger Midnight blasted the arm she had cut off removing it from the world of the living. "Well I did not get to take Vegeta's head as I wished." said Midnight in a disappointed tone, before she smile and look Vegeta in the eyes, who was still shocked beyond believe. "Well this is almost better! To see such shock on the Prince of egos!" To busy enjoying the fear she put in the prince, she did not notice the Ginyu force moving up close to her from behind.
Midnight was just watching everyone before she notice what she was looking for. Krillin, and he seem to have what she wanted to test out, so she kicked Trunks towards him surprising him. "Go ahead! Give him a bean Krillin, I want to see if it works against what I did." she said with a evil smile. So he did what he was told, not missing what she said and gave Trunks a bean.
The bean did as it always did, but with one thing missing Trunks arm did not come back, now it just looked like he never had a arm there to begin with. "What but that is not right! The beans are said to heal anything!" said Krillin shocking everyone and himself.
Which made Midnight laugh, before she just start to talk. "Well that is good to know, Twilight had been wondering about what the beans really can heal, for she knew that they can't heal any diseases, which made her wonder if it would be able to heal a lost limb. And now we know that they can't." she finished with a careless shrug before she smile again and quickly shoot the bag with the beans in it destroying them all, doing it so fast no one was able to react, making everyone but Tempest, and the Ginyu Force fearful.
Meanwhile Vegeta was having a bit of a break down. finally realizing just how much Trunks had cared about him. Care enough to sacrifice his arm to save him. And to lose a arm to a warrior, is losing a lot of power. Power the one thing Vegeta had valued more then anything in his life. And coming to this realization Vegeta snapped, no longer caring about how much more powerful Midnight. "YOU BASTARD!!!" Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs while turning Super Saiyan, making everyone turn towards him, with Midnight just smiling like the devil. And so He charged right at Midnight while putting as much power as he was able to and send a massive blast at Midnight making everyone else Fly away as fast as they were able to. And Vegeta was not done with that single blast, no he kept firing Blast after Blast shaking the Earth itself as he kept firing, and when he finally stop.
It took a whole ten minutes before the smoke clear, and when it did Midnight was just standing there and clapping. "Well done Vegeta! You finally did something right!" she said which surprise everyone, for they had no idea what he had done. And then she took a fighting stance. "You clear the space, so I can finally give you what you have earned!" Which made Vegeta realize his mistake, but before he was able to react, Midnight was in front of him giving him her evil smile before she punched him in the stomach. sending him flying, which she followed, just to play a little with the prince, sending him flying each time she got in front of where she send him. And when she let him get a chance to right him self she would aim a sword strike at him, but always making it slow enough that he can get away, she just wanted to play with him for she would be able to end him with a single punch if she felt like it, so she was not in any hurry. Though it seem someone wanted to end her fun. For just as she was about to try something new with her plaything, she casually dodged a blast aimed for her head, but instead it hit Vegeta which made Midnight laugh, as Trunks Panic over hitting the wrong target.
Do to how much fun she found it that Trunks had shoot his own dad by mistake, Midnight decided to let Trunks check over his dad. While she was doing this, she did not notice that the Fire her hair had taken on faded out and went back to the colors of her super form, that of a royal purple. But Tempest did, and she was happy to see this, for it meant her Theory was right
And with it being right, she knew she needed to act, so she pull Gohan with her and went behind a hill.
"Tempest?" asked Gohan confused.
Tempest put a head on Gohan's shoulder, and then she explain herself. "Gohan I need you to cast a Wallflower spell on me, and keep it on me, while I transform again, I need the added power to get the sword out of Midnight's hands, and ones that is done, we will have a chance of draining Midnight of power."
Looking at Tempest for a moment Gohan asked what she meant.
"You probably notice while Twilight was transforming, she did not do it ones, but four times right?" This got a nod from Gohan. "That is our key to winning against Midnight, for I do not know if you notice it, but her hair is no longer fire, she has gone down a level of power." said Tempest, but before she was able to keep going Gohan took over, do to him understanding it now.
"And do to Twilight's body not having any training with even the first level of Super, every form she got will drain more Ki from her then she is able to supply, and do to the forms over the first one she went into, she is draining even more Ki, and it has already start to hit her right?" asked Gohan wanting to be sure he understood what she meant, which got him a nod. "Alright I will keep the sleep on you, but from there you will need to handle removing the sword yourself."
Tempest walked a little away from Gohan and took a stance to power up, while doing so she spoke. "Oh don't worry about that, I have already taken care of that." she said with a smile before she start to power up.
Before Tempest went down to talk with Midnight.
"Ginyu I need you and your team to do something for me, there will seem crazy but it will be needed if we all want to come out of this alive." said Tempest in a hurry.
"Of course Tempest, we will do whatever it takes to make sure things goes well, so tell us what you need us to do?" replied Ginyu without a second wasted.
"Good I need you and then men to disarm Midnight, for there is no doubt that she will use Twilight's sword. And you also need to remove her scouter, for with it she can keep track of all of us, while also getting knowledge from her computer at home. And we do not need Midnight to be able to gain answers to anything we might do to stop her. And you need to do this even if you have to pretend to be on Midnight's side. And when you got the sword and scouter, then leave as fast as you can. Got it?" she ask. Getting a yes boss from all of them she smile, before she flew down to confront Midnight.
Tempest was just about to confront Midnight when she realize something "Also one last thing there might help you with this. Twilight Transform more then one time when she let her rage run wild, and I think this can help us a bit, for when I first went Super Saiyan, the Ki Drain was big on me, so the ki drain on Midnight is probably a lot bigger then she realize, so she might go down in what form she is on, do to the drain." she said before she went down. Leaving the force to make a game plan
"That sounds like the perfect time for us to strike Captain!" said Jeice.
"I do agree with you on that Jeice. But we will look out for other chances as well, for knowing our Big Girl, she might give us the chance herself." replied Ginyu while he was thinking of how to do this, before he settle on how to do it." Alright Men! this is what we do! Jeice you take care of the sword! And Burter you take her scouter! While Guldo you will use your powers to give us a little more time to pull this off, and when both of you got your items return to me, and we leave together with Instant Transmission! Now get yourself ready men!" finish Ginyu as they all gave him a salute.
Back in the Now with Midnight.
Midnight had just kicked Trunks away from herself, burying him in rock which would take him some time to get out of, where after she turned to Vegeta who was coming at her punching and kicking, but Midnight dodged every attack, while telling him he missed. Pissing him even more off, making him attack even more wild at her, which she got tired of quickly. And she decided that she had played with the prince enough, and deice a circle kick sending Vegeta crashing into the ground hard enough to knock him out.
Midnight looked down at him, and aimed her hand towards Vegeta and powered up a Blast. "Well it has been fun playing with you Vegeta, but I think we are done here. When you get to Hell Vegeta, do try and enjoy yourself, after all I'm only sending you to your people." she said with her Devil smile.
And just as she was about to release the blast Tempest in Super Saiyan two, came up behind Midnight and put her into a full nelson, holding her still with both her arms up sending her Kill shot to space, and her sword arm pull up, letting Jeice take the sword, and Burter take her scouter do to Midnight being to surprise to react, and also do to Guldo using all his powers to slow down Midnight with his time control, and before Midnight was even able to react to this happening the Ginyu Force was gone, with Ginyu saying one last thing before disappearing, to only he knows where. "We are counting on you to make our Lady go back to her old self Tempest!" Yell Ginyu before he gave a thumbs up and they were gone.
And just in time as Midnight broken the nelson and was just about to get to the Ginyu's but they got out just before she got to them, leaving a wide eye Midnight screaming in rage before she turn to Tempest, who had everyone there shocked do to her form. It took a bit before Midnight reacted to what happen, but when she did. She let out a hunting laugh, one there made everyone there realize that she was losing it fully, which made it easy to understand that Midnight does not know how to handle when things goes against her, and then she stop laughing. "You think you have save everyone here don't you?" She asked towards Tempest.
Tempest took a stance making sure she was ready for if Midnight attacked. "I do not think that no. But I do know that I have won us some time. "she replied in a calm manner. Which made made Midnight sneer, before Tempest kept talking. "I have also notice something interesting about you Midnight... A weakness if you will."
This made her raise a brow. "Oh and what would that weakness be?" asked Midnight, not taking Tempest serious which made her smile.
"Well if you ask so nicely I will tell you. You have yet to any magic at higher level, something Twilight has put into her style of fighting fully. But you! All you have done is use Twilight's pocket space! And that does not need any magic after it has been set up, so I think that you don't have the ability to use Twilight's magic at all!" Finished Twilight with a finger pointed at Midnight who looked Shocked and angry.
"How dare you say that I can't use magic!" Yell Midnight as she fired a normal blast at Tempest proving her right, for Twilight had made nearly every single of her Techniques by mixing Ki and Magic together, and it seemed that Midnight only had control over the Ki part of Twilight's body, which was a good sign, for that meant that Twilight was fighting back. And the power of the blast was still holding back as well, Twilight might be doing more to get her body back then she at first thought.
And from what Tempest saw in Midnight's eyes after the blast, it was not just her who had realize this making Midnight changes target. And do to not having any magic to use, she put two fingers up to her forehead and used Instant Transmission. Now going for Goku appearing right behind him, and lucky for Goku this was all that she had left of her 3 form, so while she swung at Goku, her hair was getting shorter, back to being about the same length as her hair always was, now being in Super Saiyan 2. letting Goku barely dodge the attack, only do to his many years of combat experience, and Midnight only using the memories of Twilight's combat training. And as Goku got away from Midnight who was stunned at lose her 3 form, he got near Tempest.
As he got next to Tempest he kept his eyes on Midnight and talked. "So is there any way to undo this and get Twilight back in control?"
"There is ways to do that, but right now we need to drain her of the Ki she still got, so I think we should all fight her together to keep her from going for any kill moves. Then we can focus on getting her back to normal!" she replied.
And then Piccolo join in the talk wanting to give them a little more info, that the others did not have. "I know the rest of you can't feel her power, but I can tell you she is still a good bit stronger then Tempest is, even though they are at the same Transformations level. Which probably comes down to her Ki Type not being the same as ours, which can be see in her hair colors, where normal Saiyan's are blonde, her colors are that of a deep purple. I might even say that her forms got double the power of the normal ones. So do not let your guards down, she is still far more dangerous then we can handle in a one on one fight!"
This got a small laugh from Goku. "Man I know we are in danger right now but I can't help but feel excited about fighting her!" And that is when something hit Goku, he had not seen Gohan since Tempest had pull him away, but he decided not to say anything, for he was probably doing something Tempest had asked him to do.
And just as he got done saying this Tempest moved in front of Goku, and blocked a attack from Midnight there had been aimed at Goku, and not think about it more, Goku joined the fight going for Midnight's back while Tempest kept her busy on her front. Not that either of them was able to hit her. She then responded with a circle kick all the way around her kicking hitting Tempest's defends where she barely blocked in time, thanks to her magic, where Goku was hit in the side of the head send flying away. But before she was able to use this to get away, Tempest fire a Blast at close range which she block which Krillin, and Yamcha used to go in for the attack with Tien helping from ranged, in their new forms.
Yamcha's form being base fully on speed was barely able to keep up, and the attack that he was not able to block was blocked by Pin point shoot of Dodon Ray's aimed at her arms, while Krillin was attacking from the back, actually hitting do to how his new power made his attacks far bigger then anyone was able to see, but do to how much weaker they are next to Midnight they did not Last Long before she had enough and start to knock them away first she got Yamcha, by moving so Tien was at Yamcha's back allowing her to land Two powerful hits on him sending him flying at Tien knocking them both down, she then turn around with a Blast in her hand blocking Krillin's punch with it while letting it fly sending Krillin out of the fight as well, but before she got the chance to make a Kill shot on any of them Tempest came back and landed a full powered punch to Midnight's chin, which got her focus back on Tempest who held her focus while Goku and Piccolo made their own attacks.
"TEMPEST NOW!" Yell Piccolo, which made Tempest Teleport back out, at the same time Piccolo send his attack. "HELLZONE GRENADE!!!" And like that Blast after blast Flew at Midnight before she was even able to move even a little, which she reacted to this with a small explosive wave of Ki which she hell the whole time each blast came at her, and do to this she was not able to hear the second attack coming.
"KAAAMEEEHAAAAMEEEEHA!!!" Scream Goku as he send his attack on the way to hit just as Piccolo's attack ended which Took Midnight by surprise letting her barely put her arms up to hold back the attack, and as she was able to use her own Ki to try and send the blast Back she was hit in the back. By a Big Bang Attack, send by Vegeta who had gotten up, and used his last Ki for that one attack before he fell down again. And the attack had let the Kamehameha hit, leaving Midnight in smoke, and when it clear her shirt had been rip apart leaving only her spots bra armor left on her top half, looking more pissed then ever before.
"How dare you...HOW DARE YOU!!!" Yell Midnight being fully done with them. She then used Instant Transmission over to Piccolo kicking him so hard in the side that she took off his arm knocking him clean out, and before anyone was able to react, she used Instant Transmission again, this time delivering a downwards cycle kick to Goku's head sending him out of the fight as well. After she storm at Tempest delivering a Combo of Kicks and Punch's that Tempest had not be fully ready for sending her into the ground.
Being hit a lot harder then she was ready for, Tempest needed to heal her body so she used her Hibernation ability letting her body fully heal in trade off a lot of Kill, which she can only do ones a day. But Midnight had no plans on letting Tempest heal, and was just about to attack her in the back as she was healing when she was hit by a kick to the face, by no one else but Gohan, who like Tempest had gone into Super Saiyan Two, which he had learn to do in his time with Tempest in the Time Chamber, having hidden it to use it as a last minute trump card. Which was why he had stay out of the battle so far.
And when Midnight stop herself in flying further back and saw who stop her, she was hit with a new wave of rage. "And now
even my own actions are coming back to stop me!"
Gohan in his fighting stances narrowed his eyes while looking at Midnight. "You have not done anything for me! That was Twilight who help me! She was the one there gave me magic, and even let me study her own notes on it! You are just a bad copy of Twilight!" said Gohan knowing full well that he just pissed her off, and he needed to be ready. And sure enough Midnight was already coming at him with pure murder in her eyes. But before she got to Gohan Tempest used her magic to get behind Midnight and landed a kick there send Midnight into the ground, before she went over to Gohan and took him higher up in the air.
"What's the plan Tempest?" asked Gohan as he was looking around to try and spot where Midnight might come from.
"We have to run her dry form Ki, for she barely got anything left right now, and if we can make her run out we can hold her down long enough to get Twilight back!" and just as Tempest got done speaking she had to block a attack from Midnight who had used Instant Transmission to try and land a sneak attack on her, but thanks to Tempest being able to use her magic where Midnight was not able to, she use it to slow down the attack enough so she would be able to keep up fully. making it better that she is going for her and not Gohan.
And with how the battle had been going and how Midnight was behaving, Temepst knew that the battle would end soon so she took a deep breath, before cracked her knuckles and neck, and looked Midnight right in the eyes. "Gohan only join the battle if there is no other choice. This Battle is between me and Midnight now." as Tempest said this, her magic was flowing around her, before it settle next her taking the form of a Bear, which coat look like a star full night which gave a mighty roar, and as it did that Tempest charged right at Midnight who did the same, making the two crash in a fury of blows, with Midnight's higher power Tempest was using her magic to even the gap in power, and whenever Midnight would be close to hitting Tempest her bear would get in the way swing it mighty paws at Midnight forcing her to block taking a hit from Tempest in stead, this level of power abuse was draining both Tempest and Midnight from their last bits of power.
And it would have ended with Tempest the winner if not for Midnight having a moment of clear mind there let her make her own plan, while also making her own attack, something she had been lacking the whole battle, she just needed a moment to get it off, and she got it when Tempest magic start to run out which was also where Midnight had the last bit of her own Ki in this form, which she needed to use to take out Tempest. And so she faked a punched before she really delivered a kick to Tempest sending her flying away giving her just the moment she had been waiting for, and so she pushed Ki into both her hands holding the both stretched out to her sides everything she had left into both hands sending waves of Lightning flying away from her there cut into the ground. "IT HAS BEEN FUN TEMPEST! BUT I'M DONE WITH YOU! AND I'M DONE WITH ALL OF YOU SO THIS ENDEDS HERE!" And then she lifted both of her hands up before lowing them down in front of her letting Go of the Ki ball there had gain the size of a small house, now sitting right in front of Midnight where she drew a hand back preparing for a punch into the orb, and as she punched the ball of power she yell. "TAKE THIS! CRASHING STAR RAIN!!!" And then she punched it sending Countless beams flying from the orb at Tempest and Gohan aiming to take both out of the game, and no matter how many the dodge they would be hit by countless more. And the rain of beams keep going for a full minute. Where all Midnight did was try and and catch her breath while watching Gohan and Tempest fail at getting away from her attack, which made her smile as she saw both finally getting knocked out thanks to her attack.
Tempest was not dead but heavily beaten just trying to move, as she saw Midnight slowly and a little unstable fly towards her, and as she got there Tempest just look at Midnight who just start to laugh for a bit before she stop. "It seems you have failed Tempest. And you there promised to always make sure that Twilight would not have to deal with me, and now all you can do is wait for me to finish you when I get enough Ki to do so!" Midnight was about to continue when a shadow covered her, and as she turned she was not happy for there was the one fighter she had fully forgotten was here, Twilight's new Brother, who did not wait and held Midnight, who do to the fighting there happen had no power to stop him. And she was not happy about this as she start to scream in pure rage, as Gevo slowly but in a careful way bound Midnight so she would not be able to move. Before he walked over to Tempest.
"I see why you told me to stay out of the fighting Tempest." he said as he leaned down on one of his knees and took out a senzu bean and gave it to to her. And when she got done eating it he gave her a hand and pulled her up. Making Midnight even more pissed, having been tricked to ignore Gevo by Tempest. But both Gevo and Tempest Ignore her. "So how do we get Twilight back?" asked Gevo.
And before Tempest was able to answer someone else beat her to it. "I think I can help with that." said the mystery person, who appeared after saying this. And this person was a thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, and violet eyes, who had rather effeminate features. He carried a long scepter with a black gem floating over the staff itself with a small ring around it. And around his neck floated a large light blue ring. His attire consist of a maroon robe with black cuirass. And before anyone was able to ask any questions the man move close to Midnight who had not stop screaming and did a light tap on her head, which knocked out Midnight, there then slowly returned to Twilight's normal colors.
And when she open her eyes, no longer the color of that of the normal Saiyan's eyes they had take on her old eye color of purple, where she look around confused for a moment before she spoke. "Why I'm I bound?" And then she caught the look of her tail, which confused her even more, still having a small copy of her own hair color at the end of her tail. " And what happen to my tail?" before she Notice the mystery person, who Twilight had a good idea who was, thanks to her talks Merus. And she looked at him right in the eyes as he just smiled playfully at her. "And what is Beerus's attendant doing here?"
Author's Note
Sorry for this taking such a long time, I kept getting new ideas about how I wanted to do parts of this. I think I did at least 30 rewriters off this before I was happy.
