Mojito and Sidra stood there bewildered by how much the Saiyan could eat and just when they thought he was finished, he just asking for more. Korian had worked up quite the appetite from his current bout of training with Mojito. He felt that he had pushed his body very hard and needed to refuel to gain back his stamina. It had taken him many weeks to get to the point he was at now, but he felt that he had his Super Saiyan God form well in hand. Korian chugged down a gallon of water to wash down his meal and only then did he pat his full stomach and look satiated. “Phew! That really hit the stop. Thanks to your strict training Mojito, I really feel I can push myself.” The Angel smirked to himself, “You’re welcome.” Sidra walked over to the Saiyan who was sitting on the ground, he cleared his throat to get his attention. “Ahem. Now that you’ve entered the final stages of your training here, I wished to have some reassurances from you that you’re not going to go rogue on me with your newfound abilities and have me waste my time trying to destroy you.” Korian scratched the side of his head nervously with an added chuckle. “I would never dream of it, Lord Sidra. You and Mojito have been nothing but benevolent by inviting me to your world and training me up good.” Korian stood and bowed at the waist to him and Mojito as a sign of respect, Kitsune had instilled in him all the best possible manners could muster. Sidra seemed pleased by his respectful nature and gave Mojito a side glance to see what the Angel was thinking. While Korian wasn’t looking the Angel just gave his lord a slight sneer which made Sidra feel slightly uncomfortable, perhaps their motives behind inviting Korian for training weren’t wholly benevolent after all. Quite abruptly, the image of Supreme Kai Roh appeared out of the green crystal perched at the top of Mojito’s staff, he looked quite flustered and started yelling presumably into his crystal ball which he was using to communicate with them. “Lord Sidra! Demon attack! We can’t stand for this again! We have to do….” Sidra cut him off abrupt with a clap of his hands and a glare. “Would you calm down, Supreme Kai?! What is the matter?” Roh started over slower this time but still was quite unnerved as he spoke. “That demon, Mira, is attacking again and he’s fighting Sorrel and her daughter!” Korian’s heart felt like it froze in place when he heard the Kai speak of Mira doing battle with his wife and daughter. He felt sick to his stomach with worry and gave Sidra a determined look. “Go Korian with your power now you should be more than a match for him.” The Saiyan nodded and focused his energies to bring forth his godly Ki as he transformed quite peacefully into Super Saiyan God. Before he departed Mojito caught his attention, “Remember Korian not to push yourself beyond your limits. The godly essence is still a new concept for your body to handle.” Korian gave them a thumbs up and reached out with his god Ki enhanced perception to focus on home, “Kai Kai” and he vanished without a trace. Sidra clasped his hands behind his back and looked concerned for a moment. “I hope that boy isn’t too late.”</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><em>Planet Basur</em>, during Super Saiyan 3 Shihori and Mira’s battle </span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Korian reappeared on his home world out of thin air over the mountain range that sat beyond his house. He looked around for signs of his family and saw no one. “Damnit! I forgot to home in on their energy signatures.” Korian focused and felt Shihori’s power skyrocket suddenly and it was joined by a bigger and more sinister energy signature that he felt must belong to Mira. What turned his stomach was that he couldn’t sense Sorrel anywhere and this propelled him into action. He moved much faster in Super Saiyan God than he did in any of his Super Saiyan transformations. He blazed a red trail across the sky as he headed for the fight in progress.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><em>Present time </em></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Mira came to a halt after being blown off the battlefield by a single blow from Korian. He reached up and touched his damaged face which was bleeding from the impact of the punch. The thoughts of Korian interfering with him again infuriated Mira to the point he let his dark powers explode in a large reddish-black column into the sky. “Damn you, Korian!” The demon started to make his way back to the battlefield with haste so he could begin his revenge in earnest against his greatest enemy.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Shihori almost didn’t recognize her own father as she looked up at him from the ground. He seemed so calm and confident, she thought that this must be the results of his training. “Shihori, are you alright?” She nodded but clutched her side in pain as her body continued to attack itself against her attempts to stand back up and rejoin the fight. “Papa, I can’t find Mom. I lost her during the fight, she’s hurt really bad, that monster did this….” She started to break down in tears again which prompted Korian to place a hand on top of her head in a loving manner to soothe her worried mind. “It’s going to be okay, baby. We’ll get Mom but right now I’m going to finish this once and for all.” Korian’s eyes returned to the landscape as Mira reappeared and landed a few feet away looking dirty from battle and incensed to meet Korian face to face again. “Curse you, Korian and your entire family. You just never learn do you. That’s why I had to break your wife to teach you a lesson in depair.” Korian’s eyes narrowed in anger once the demon spoke of attacking Sorrel. “Shihori, get away from here now. I just need a minute alone.” She winced in pain when she pushed herself up off the ground and she managed to use what little energy she had left to fly away and give her father the space he needed. Mira looked amused at Korian’s boasting of only need such a finite period to handle him. “When did you develop such an ego?” Korian responded to him by throwing his hand forward and using his newfound Ki control to push him off his feet and send the demon crashing down onto his butt in a state of embarrassment. “Careful, Mira. You need to be more aware of your surroundings.” The vein in Mira’s head pulsed in anger from being made such a fool of and he quickly leapt to his feet to attack Korian in a blind rage. Multiple punches lashed out which easily dodged or parried by smooth flowing actions on Korian’s part. When he saw an opening present itself on Mira, he gave him a short-range punch directly to his face which snapped back the demon’s head. Stunned but not dissuaded yet from continuing to press the attack, Mira thrust his palm forward and fired a purple energy wave which seemed to swallow Korian up as it swept over him. Mira looked pleased with his surprise attack until he still saw that fiery red aura closing in on him, he received his answer which was a knee to the chest. Korian smashed Mira down to the ground with a knife hand which crumpled the demon to his hands and knees, a back kick was shot out in counter attack at Korian once he hit the ground but the godly Saiyan just evaded and punted Mira in the ribs to send him skidding across the rocky terrain. Mira couldn’t understand how this was possible. How did he keep getting stronger than him? He was built to be the perfect being and his overwhelming dark energy had swallowed entire civilizations, yet he was being tested so by one man. Mira climbed to his feet and stared at the red haired Saiyan with intense hatred “What are you?!” Korian stopped his calm advance on the demon and met his cold, hate filled eyes with a smirk. “They call this transformation Super Saiyan God. It’s what happens when we Saiyans tap into the power of a god.” Mira clenched his fists tightly as he brought his dark energy to bear in a red aura around his body and he began to power up even further. “What is a god compared to the power of a demon?! I’ll show you the extent of my resolve to destroy you!” Mira’s body began to pulse as the veins in his neck swelled and his dark power completely engulf his body like reddish-black flames swallowing up more fuel to the fire. His hair began to lengthen and become rigid, the sclera of his eyes washing over a blood red, irises fading to a golden yellow, and his pupils turning into black pools. Korian stood on guard as the demon completed his transformation and cocked his arms out to the side, breathing heavily from the forced increase in power. “Behold, you pitiful Saiyan, you are about to have your lesson in futility.”</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Mira dashed off the ground and was upon him in an instant, he just barely managed to block the heavy-handed right that smashed down upon his guard that sent him shooting across the terrain to slam some rocky rubble. “Shit” he exclaimed as Mira was right there following up with another punch that just missed his face and completely smashed the boulder behind him to pieces in one shot. Mira predicted his evasion and smashed a knee directly into his chest which made Korian gag from the sudden rush of pain throughout his body, Mira caught him with a left hook that cast his head sharply to the side which Mira quickly grabbed into his hair with his opposite hand and bounced his face off some of the destroyed rocky debris. “Wwwaaaaahhh” Korian cried out in pain when his face was smashed through several pieces of stone and he was thrown across the ground like skipping a rock on a pond. He came to a very painful halt on his hands and knees and began to groan, “Okay, that hurt. He's really strong.” Korian wiped the blood from his face and began to stand up to defend himself. Once he recovered, he couldn’t rest for more than a second when Mira came in to shatter his body armor with a front kick square to the chest. This sent him tumbling end over end until he was stopped by slamming into a sheer rock face in an upright seated position. He looked up just long enough to see Mira hovering in the air a short distance away and firing the same energy beam he had before, but much stronger and more impactful this time. Korian was on the ground flat on his back after the attack twitching in pain from the force of the blast. It destroyed what was left of his body armor which left him with a half ripped under shirt. He yet persevered and brought himself up to stand defiantly against this super version of Mira. He knew that this wasn’t it for him and he needed to push himself higher if he hoped for any chance at victory. “You’re not the only one with a few new tricks up their sleeve, Mira.” Korian stated while panting to catch his breath. He clenched his fists tight and forced his power from deep inside to come to the surface, this he remembered well, this feeling during the transformation to Super Saiyan, yet this was different and more intense as he gritted his teeth and brought more of his Ki to his command. Korian’s face twisted painfully but he was not injuring himself, the intensity of the transformation just felt overwhelming to him since it was so new to his body. “AHHHHHHHHH!” He cried out as blue energy took over and his hair stood on end and rigid like in his usual Super Saiyan transformation, his eyes shifted from a fiery red to an icy blue which matched the color of his hair. Mira welcomed his increase in power as Korian finished the transformation and reached up to rip the rest of his damaged shirt from his torso. “This is a Super Saiyan God transformed with the power of a Super Saiyan. I know it’s a little long winded, but I’ll work on the name after I kill you.” </span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">[ATTACH]185[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The foes launched themselves at one another and came together with such a heavy clash of blows that the entire ground around them cracked and distorted from the concussive force surrounding them. Their speed was amazing noted Shihori who watched the battle unfold from a distance, she was astonished at the power her father and Mira were putting out. It was on a completely different level from what she could produce. She clenched her gloved hand and pumped her fist into the air, “Do it, Papa.” Korian was driving a flying knee into Mira’s guard which sent them careening across the ground and they both broke off and came at one another again and again. Mira caught Korian with a punch that spun him around but Korian was ready to answer as he turned back to face Mira and launched a rapid barrage of blue energy bullets from his outstretched palms. Mira was struck multiple times which shredded at his clothing and burned his flesh from the impact of the blows, but he just increased his aura around his body to cancel out the remaining attacks at they came in against him</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Korian and Mira clashed again and locked each other’s arms together in a clinch, Korian used his hard Saiyan head as he drove the point of his forehead into Mira’s face repeatedly, drawing blood from the bridge of the demon’s nose. Mira smashed both of his palms against Korian’s ears to cause him sharp pain and stun him momentarily from attack. This allowed the demon enough time to come up from underneath his guard and smash a brutal uppercut into his chin which threw him back quite a distance and allowed Mira a moment to catch his breath. He spread both his arms outward and shot a massive amount of dark energy from his chest which began to take shape into an enormous energy ball in front of him. Korian stood wearily and shook off the weak feeling in his knees as Mira completed the preparations for his attack and launched the gigantic energy attack in his direction. Korian knew that whatever that attack struck was done for whether it be him or the planet, so he brought both his hands out in front, both wrists meeting at the thumbs with his other fingers slightly curled. He concentrated on bringing all his leaking energy that made up his aura into his body, which was a struggle under combat conditions, but he managed, nonetheless. His body began to shudder under the strain of his current transformation and the willpower of keeping his power contained within. “Don’t fail me now.” He whispered to himself as he began to concentrate his Ki draw power out in this time of need. Just before Mira’s attack crashed down into him, he called out “FINAL JUDGEMENT!” and a massive energy wave streamed out of his palms and came crashing into Mira’s Minus Energy Ball attack. Korian’s attack managed to Mira’s at bay for the moment but he was losing power fast and needed to come up with something to turn the struggle in his favor. Mira called over to him, “It’s hopeless! I’ll turn you and this entire planet into dust! Everyone you care for will be dead and I will finally have my REVENGE!” Mira pressed his hands forward to force more energy into his attack which caused the energy ball to come closer and closer to overwhelming his foe. Korian’s legs began to shake from fatigue and slowly started to collapse under the strain of putting out so much energy to hold back Mira’s attack. His thoughts crept to his family and friends, everyone that had made an impact on his life. “I’m sorry everyone. I just can’t hold on any longer…” He sank down to a knee as he could barely hold the attack at bay any longer and he resolved to fight to the bitter end. Suddenly, he felt some hands push against his back and begin to lift him back up to his feet. He strained to hold the standing position and the presence made itself known, now it was Shihori who raised her power and transformed back into Super Saiyan 2, she was beaten, bloody and noticeably weak from her earlier battle but she was willing to fight with him until the end. “Shihori?! No! You have to get away, I can’t hold this much longer.” His teenage daughter looked at him defiantly and brought her hands together in the same attack pattern that he was using for his Final Judgement wave. “If you’re staying then I am too. We’re in this together, Papa, no matter what!” Korian turned his attention back across the field of battle to the grinning blue demon and he felt inspired by his daughter’s words to push on. “Right. Let’s do this!” Shihori raised her energy up as high as she could muster and called out, “Final Judgement…. HA!” and fired a shining golden wave which coalesced with his own blue beam attack to increase in size and start pushing back against Mira’s energy ball. The combination blue and gold energy beam slowly began to push the back his attack which made Mira tap further into his power reserves to try and halt its advance. “Choosing to die together? How noble of you, brat. Enjoy your pointless demise along with your weakling parents!” Mira mustered even more dark energy that he pressed into his attack causing the energy ball to creep back even closer to the pair. Shihori began to tremble under this intense pressure and felt like she was about to pass out from pushing her body so hard. Korian gave Shihori a sideways glance and noticed her struggling, likewise he felt like he would fall at any moment. “Don’t quit on me yet. Keep it up for me, keep it up for your grandmother, keep it up for your mother! You’ve got this! Give it everything you’ve got, Shihori! Do it NOW!!!!” The father-daughter duo brought every last bit of power they had left to bear in their attacks which caused the beam to tremendously increase in size and smash completely through Mira’s Negative energy ball, sending the dark energy dispersing across the battlefield like small exploding cluster bombs, the massive Final Judgement wave crashed into Mira who could do nothing to hold it back, his face twisted from a look of surprise to one of horror and pain as he came to the realization that he was bested yet again. His body began to contort and come apart piece by piece, “DAMN YOU SAIYANS!” The enormous energy wave caused Mira’s body to implode in on itself after his limbs were ripped from his body and vaporized by the intense energy output, even his small pulsing core was completely obliterated.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">[ATTACH]213[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">After their attack ceased and what remained cut through the atmosphere of their home planet and cascaded into outer space, Shihori struggled for air and she reverted to her normal base form, collapsing onto her back. Korian’s god Ki faded from his body which caused his hair to fall back to normal. His body began to tremble from all the strain he had put on it and he collapsed right next to his fallen daughter, gasping for air. “We…. did….it….” Shihori gulped up enough air to give a strained reply, “…. Yeah…. we…did.” Korian managed to shakily get to his feet and helped Shihori sit up off the ground. She looked at him with tired eyes and a half smile, “I really have to use the bathroom.” Korian smiled proudly at his daughter and an exhausted laughed. Shihori’s eyes suddenly sprang open wide as she realized they needed to find her mother. “Papa! Mama was hurt! Let’s go!” Korian found what little strength he had left to lift his daughter off the ground, and they set out across the shattered battlefield to where she had fallen.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">“Mama!” Shihori called out sharply as they searched amongst all the debris for Sorrel. Korian stopped once he saw a blood trail leading away from a sizable stain on the ground, his heart sank, he followed it a short distance with Shihori close behind. Not long after they found Sorrel huddled up against a boulder, they both ran to her and Korian fell to his knees at the sight of what Mira had down to the lovely wife. He gently lifted her head up and which caused her to gasp for air through all the blood and gore that filled her mouth. Her one working eye slowly opened as she searched for who disturbed her. “Mama….” Shihori took her right hand up and gently cupped it in her grasp, tears began to fall down her cheeks as the young girl didn’t know what to do or say in this moment. Sorrel’s breathing became more labored, Korian knew in his heart that these were the final moments he was going to spend together with Sorrel, tears streamed from his eyes as he cradled his dying wife. Thoughts of their life together flashed before him and in that moment, he desperately clung on to the happy memories to block out this living nightmare. Sorrel looked right into Korian's eyes and she opened her mouth to speak and to tell him how much she loved him one last time, but she only managed a whimper, Mira had crushed her throat and her labored breathing rattled with blood. Tears slowly rolled down her blood-stained face when she saw her daughter crying over her. Shihori bent forward to cling to Sorrel and gently kiss her on the cheek, she sobbed and wanted nothing more than to feel her mother’s embrace one last time. Korian struggled to say anything, to do anything in the moment, only managing a very pained reply “I promise that I’ll do whatever it takes.” Sorrel’s pained expression softened, and she drifted off with one last escape of breath, her head sank into Korian's arms and her beautiful red eye was now staring blankly. "Mama, no! Please don't leave me! I love you so much, please! Please come back to me! I’ll do anything, just give me back my Mom." Shihori completely broke down in tears, she threw herself onto her mother’s body crying uncontrollably and clutching on to her desperately. The tears that rolled down Korian’s cheeks felt so cold, what pained him the most was the sight of Shihori begging anything and everything to bring her mother back to her. They both held onto each other and Sorrel for a long time.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">[ATTACH]244[/ATTACH]</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Back at their house, Kitsune was worried as she felt the battle occur, the power levels rise and some disappear, she waited outside nervously for any word or sign that her family was safe. Yet, her worst fears were realized when she saw her granddaughter and Korian land in front of the house carrying a motionless Sorrel. She ran to them and was intercepted by Shihori who collapsed in tears with her grandmother taking her into her arms. Kitsune looked on in disbelief and horror when Korian walked past them with Sorrel cradled in his arms. He took Sorrel’s body around back to clean her up and have a moment to himself, once he was out of sight of the other two he just sank down to the ground with his hands trembling and tears streaming down his cheeks, he cradled her cold body and began to rock back and forth. It was the first time in his life he didn’t know what to do, he was utterly lost, Mira may be gone, but their victory was pyrrhic, Korian was broken, Shihori had lost her mother, his world was destroyed. The demon had claimed victory in the end after all.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">A few days later, Korian stood with his adoptive mother and daughter as they laid Sorrel to rest and said goodbye in their own way. Gathered around were some friendly faces that wanted to pay their respects, each wearing a black mourning band around their arm. Such faces as Hopp, Roh, Sidra, Mojito, and the Trio de Dangers were gathered around the grave where Sorrel was laid to rest. Shihori couldn’t cry anymore and she just whimpered softly to herself and she held onto a lovely smiling photo of her mother for people to remember Sorrel in life. Korian was stoic and he felt like a hollow shell of his former self. They buried Sorrel under the tree in their front yard, a small marker was placed and Shihori had gathered some lovely white flowers to lay on her mother’s grave. Each person in attendance paid their respects and were gathered together by Kitsune so they could all share happier memories of Sorrel amongst one another. Korian was approached by Mojito who he gave a weary eyed gaze to but tried to tell him thank you for coming, the Angel abruptly stopped him, “Your family have selflessly served our universe time and again. You’ve sacrificed so much that we can never repay you. I just wish I was able to bring her back for you….” Korian’s expression changed to one of confusion. “What do you mean?” Mojito explained that he had the power to restore life under normal circumstances, but since Sorrel had been killed by a demon, her soul couldn’t find peace in the Otherworld, so his powers would not work in this instance. Korian’s expression fell again but Mojito interjected on the down note, “But there may still be a way. Have you ever heard of Dragon Balls?” The Angel smiled in punctuation. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Later that day, once everyone else had departed, Korian gathered Shihori and Kitsune at the table to have a discussion from what he had learned from Mojito. He explained to them that there was a possibility they could bring Sorrel back with the use of something called the Super Dragon Balls. He continued that they would need to travel to universes six and seven in order to collect all seven balls so they could summon the dragon and wish for Sorrel’s life back. “Korian, do you really believe this to be true? I mean once someone is gone, they’re gone, we must learn to live with that. You know I have.” Kitsune said tinged with a bit of sadness as she had seen far too many lost loved ones in her life. Korian listened to her words and began to doubt himself, doubt what he had heard and was trying to make sense of it all right now. Shihori jumped up and slammed her fists down on the table in anger, “You promised her! You said that you would do whatever it takes!” They both stopped to look at Shihori who had tears in her eyes from her angry outburst. Korian tried to reach out to take her by the hand “Shihori….” but she just snatched it back and pointed at him accusingly, “Don’t tell me you lied to her just to make her feel better while she was dying. Don’t you dare tell me you lied to Mama. Because…. because….” she began to choke up and was taken in her father’s arms in a hug which she fought and pounded her fist against his chest. “I won’t forgive you if you did. You promised, Papa. You promised.” Korian heard her words and made his decision there and now. He couldn't let his daughter down or the memory of Sorrel go that easily. “I know, baby. I plan to keep my promise. We’ll bring her back.”</span></span></p><p></p><p>[ATTACH]359[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">A few days after, Shihori was gathering things up in her room and packing them into a bag, she very diligently double checked to make sure she had extra of everything she needed for the trip. She went over to her dresser and opened the top drawer to retrieve a very special item she had been saving for last. She wrapped her mother's red scarf around her neck and proudly looked at herself in the mirror with a confident smile. In that moment she could imagine her mother proudly standing behind her and giving her that wonderful, loving look she always gave her daughter. She grabbed her bag and took one last look at her room before turning off the lights and heading outside. There she was joined by her father and grandmother, Kitsune was hugging Korian profusely and refusing to let him go. "Are you sure you won't reconsider?" he said to Kitsune who stepped over to Shihori and pulled her into a hug. "Someone needs to hold down the fort while you're gone. I had the Supreme Kai make sure that all your other friends are doing their part to keep us safe. Besides, you've got Shihori looking after you, so I know you'll be fine." Kitsune kissed her granddaughter several times on the cheek before letting go and stepped back with a smile to admire both her children. "I promise we'll come back in one piece and we'll have what we need to bring Sorrel back for good." Korian confidently clenched his fist and he looked to his daughter who had taken him by the hand. Shihori lead her father over to her mother's grave which still had the lovely white flowers adorning it. "Well, Mama, we're going to be off now, and I promise to look after Papa while we're gone." Korian looked down at his wife's grave and nodded in agreeance with Shihori, placing an arm around his daughter's shoulders. "And we're going to bring you back to life. Whatever it takes." he said in solidarity with her sentiment. This made Shihori beam brightly and the two took a few more minutes of reflection together. They both waved and Shihori blew a kiss to her grandmother who was looking sad to see them go but also proud to see her children taking a stand for what they believed. Korian focused on taking them to his old home in Universe Seven, where his grand journey had begun and now where a new journey was beginning. Just before they vanished into thin air, he said to himself, "Whatever it takes."</span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="India Actual, post: 1376, member: 80"] [FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)]Chapter 5: (Part 3)[/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)][FONT=verdana][I]Sidra’s Planet[/I], a few minutes before Mira’s attack Korian was sitting cross legged shoveling rice into his bottomless pit of a stomach and taking big bites of some roasted meat that was on the side. Mojito and Sidra stood there bewildered by how much the Saiyan could eat and just when they thought he was finished, he just asking for more. Korian had worked up quite the appetite from his current bout of training with Mojito. He felt that he had pushed his body very hard and needed to refuel to gain back his stamina. It had taken him many weeks to get to the point he was at now, but he felt that he had his Super Saiyan God form well in hand. Korian chugged down a gallon of water to wash down his meal and only then did he pat his full stomach and look satiated. “Phew! That really hit the stop. Thanks to your strict training Mojito, I really feel I can push myself.” The Angel smirked to himself, “You’re welcome.” Sidra walked over to the Saiyan who was sitting on the ground, he cleared his throat to get his attention. “Ahem. Now that you’ve entered the final stages of your training here, I wished to have some reassurances from you that you’re not going to go rogue on me with your newfound abilities and have me waste my time trying to destroy you.” Korian scratched the side of his head nervously with an added chuckle. “I would never dream of it, Lord Sidra. You and Mojito have been nothing but benevolent by inviting me to your world and training me up good.” Korian stood and bowed at the waist to him and Mojito as a sign of respect, Kitsune had instilled in him all the best possible manners could muster. Sidra seemed pleased by his respectful nature and gave Mojito a side glance to see what the Angel was thinking. While Korian wasn’t looking the Angel just gave his lord a slight sneer which made Sidra feel slightly uncomfortable, perhaps their motives behind inviting Korian for training weren’t wholly benevolent after all. Quite abruptly, the image of Supreme Kai Roh appeared out of the green crystal perched at the top of Mojito’s staff, he looked quite flustered and started yelling presumably into his crystal ball which he was using to communicate with them. “Lord Sidra! Demon attack! We can’t stand for this again! We have to do….” Sidra cut him off abrupt with a clap of his hands and a glare. “Would you calm down, Supreme Kai?! What is the matter?” Roh started over slower this time but still was quite unnerved as he spoke. “That demon, Mira, is attacking again and he’s fighting Sorrel and her daughter!” Korian’s heart felt like it froze in place when he heard the Kai speak of Mira doing battle with his wife and daughter. He felt sick to his stomach with worry and gave Sidra a determined look. “Go Korian with your power now you should be more than a match for him.” The Saiyan nodded and focused his energies to bring forth his godly Ki as he transformed quite peacefully into Super Saiyan God. Before he departed Mojito caught his attention, “Remember Korian not to push yourself beyond your limits. The godly essence is still a new concept for your body to handle.” Korian gave them a thumbs up and reached out with his god Ki enhanced perception to focus on home, “Kai Kai” and he vanished without a trace. Sidra clasped his hands behind his back and looked concerned for a moment. “I hope that boy isn’t too late.” [I]Planet Basur[/I], during Super Saiyan 3 Shihori and Mira’s battle Korian reappeared on his home world out of thin air over the mountain range that sat beyond his house. He looked around for signs of his family and saw no one. “Damnit! I forgot to home in on their energy signatures.” Korian focused and felt Shihori’s power skyrocket suddenly and it was joined by a bigger and more sinister energy signature that he felt must belong to Mira. What turned his stomach was that he couldn’t sense Sorrel anywhere and this propelled him into action. He moved much faster in Super Saiyan God than he did in any of his Super Saiyan transformations. He blazed a red trail across the sky as he headed for the fight in progress. [I]Present time [/I] Mira came to a halt after being blown off the battlefield by a single blow from Korian. He reached up and touched his damaged face which was bleeding from the impact of the punch. The thoughts of Korian interfering with him again infuriated Mira to the point he let his dark powers explode in a large reddish-black column into the sky. “Damn you, Korian!” The demon started to make his way back to the battlefield with haste so he could begin his revenge in earnest against his greatest enemy. Shihori almost didn’t recognize her own father as she looked up at him from the ground. He seemed so calm and confident, she thought that this must be the results of his training. “Shihori, are you alright?” She nodded but clutched her side in pain as her body continued to attack itself against her attempts to stand back up and rejoin the fight. “Papa, I can’t find Mom. I lost her during the fight, she’s hurt really bad, that monster did this….” She started to break down in tears again which prompted Korian to place a hand on top of her head in a loving manner to soothe her worried mind. “It’s going to be okay, baby. We’ll get Mom but right now I’m going to finish this once and for all.” Korian’s eyes returned to the landscape as Mira reappeared and landed a few feet away looking dirty from battle and incensed to meet Korian face to face again. “Curse you, Korian and your entire family. You just never learn do you. That’s why I had to break your wife to teach you a lesson in depair.” Korian’s eyes narrowed in anger once the demon spoke of attacking Sorrel. “Shihori, get away from here now. I just need a minute alone.” She winced in pain when she pushed herself up off the ground and she managed to use what little energy she had left to fly away and give her father the space he needed. Mira looked amused at Korian’s boasting of only need such a finite period to handle him. “When did you develop such an ego?” Korian responded to him by throwing his hand forward and using his newfound Ki control to push him off his feet and send the demon crashing down onto his butt in a state of embarrassment. “Careful, Mira. You need to be more aware of your surroundings.” The vein in Mira’s head pulsed in anger from being made such a fool of and he quickly leapt to his feet to attack Korian in a blind rage. Multiple punches lashed out which easily dodged or parried by smooth flowing actions on Korian’s part. When he saw an opening present itself on Mira, he gave him a short-range punch directly to his face which snapped back the demon’s head. Stunned but not dissuaded yet from continuing to press the attack, Mira thrust his palm forward and fired a purple energy wave which seemed to swallow Korian up as it swept over him. Mira looked pleased with his surprise attack until he still saw that fiery red aura closing in on him, he received his answer which was a knee to the chest. Korian smashed Mira down to the ground with a knife hand which crumpled the demon to his hands and knees, a back kick was shot out in counter attack at Korian once he hit the ground but the godly Saiyan just evaded and punted Mira in the ribs to send him skidding across the rocky terrain. Mira couldn’t understand how this was possible. How did he keep getting stronger than him? He was built to be the perfect being and his overwhelming dark energy had swallowed entire civilizations, yet he was being tested so by one man. Mira climbed to his feet and stared at the red haired Saiyan with intense hatred “What are you?!” Korian stopped his calm advance on the demon and met his cold, hate filled eyes with a smirk. “They call this transformation Super Saiyan God. It’s what happens when we Saiyans tap into the power of a god.” Mira clenched his fists tightly as he brought his dark energy to bear in a red aura around his body and he began to power up even further. “What is a god compared to the power of a demon?! I’ll show you the extent of my resolve to destroy you!” Mira’s body began to pulse as the veins in his neck swelled and his dark power completely engulf his body like reddish-black flames swallowing up more fuel to the fire. His hair began to lengthen and become rigid, the sclera of his eyes washing over a blood red, irises fading to a golden yellow, and his pupils turning into black pools. Korian stood on guard as the demon completed his transformation and cocked his arms out to the side, breathing heavily from the forced increase in power. “Behold, you pitiful Saiyan, you are about to have your lesson in futility.” Mira dashed off the ground and was upon him in an instant, he just barely managed to block the heavy-handed right that smashed down upon his guard that sent him shooting across the terrain to slam some rocky rubble. “Shit” he exclaimed as Mira was right there following up with another punch that just missed his face and completely smashed the boulder behind him to pieces in one shot. Mira predicted his evasion and smashed a knee directly into his chest which made Korian gag from the sudden rush of pain throughout his body, Mira caught him with a left hook that cast his head sharply to the side which Mira quickly grabbed into his hair with his opposite hand and bounced his face off some of the destroyed rocky debris. “Wwwaaaaahhh” Korian cried out in pain when his face was smashed through several pieces of stone and he was thrown across the ground like skipping a rock on a pond. He came to a very painful halt on his hands and knees and began to groan, “Okay, that hurt. He's really strong.” Korian wiped the blood from his face and began to stand up to defend himself. Once he recovered, he couldn’t rest for more than a second when Mira came in to shatter his body armor with a front kick square to the chest. This sent him tumbling end over end until he was stopped by slamming into a sheer rock face in an upright seated position. He looked up just long enough to see Mira hovering in the air a short distance away and firing the same energy beam he had before, but much stronger and more impactful this time. Korian was on the ground flat on his back after the attack twitching in pain from the force of the blast. It destroyed what was left of his body armor which left him with a half ripped under shirt. He yet persevered and brought himself up to stand defiantly against this super version of Mira. He knew that this wasn’t it for him and he needed to push himself higher if he hoped for any chance at victory. “You’re not the only one with a few new tricks up their sleeve, Mira.” Korian stated while panting to catch his breath. He clenched his fists tight and forced his power from deep inside to come to the surface, this he remembered well, this feeling during the transformation to Super Saiyan, yet this was different and more intense as he gritted his teeth and brought more of his Ki to his command. Korian’s face twisted painfully but he was not injuring himself, the intensity of the transformation just felt overwhelming to him since it was so new to his body. “AHHHHHHHHH!” He cried out as blue energy took over and his hair stood on end and rigid like in his usual Super Saiyan transformation, his eyes shifted from a fiery red to an icy blue which matched the color of his hair. Mira welcomed his increase in power as Korian finished the transformation and reached up to rip the rest of his damaged shirt from his torso. “This is a Super Saiyan God transformed with the power of a Super Saiyan. I know it’s a little long winded, but I’ll work on the name after I kill you.” [ATTACH alt="super mira vs korian ssj blue 2.png"]185[/ATTACH] The foes launched themselves at one another and came together with such a heavy clash of blows that the entire ground around them cracked and distorted from the concussive force surrounding them. Their speed was amazing noted Shihori who watched the battle unfold from a distance, she was astonished at the power her father and Mira were putting out. It was on a completely different level from what she could produce. She clenched her gloved hand and pumped her fist into the air, “Do it, Papa.” Korian was driving a flying knee into Mira’s guard which sent them careening across the ground and they both broke off and came at one another again and again. Mira caught Korian with a punch that spun him around but Korian was ready to answer as he turned back to face Mira and launched a rapid barrage of blue energy bullets from his outstretched palms. Mira was struck multiple times which shredded at his clothing and burned his flesh from the impact of the blows, but he just increased his aura around his body to cancel out the remaining attacks at they came in against him Korian and Mira clashed again and locked each other’s arms together in a clinch, Korian used his hard Saiyan head as he drove the point of his forehead into Mira’s face repeatedly, drawing blood from the bridge of the demon’s nose. Mira smashed both of his palms against Korian’s ears to cause him sharp pain and stun him momentarily from attack. This allowed the demon enough time to come up from underneath his guard and smash a brutal uppercut into his chin which threw him back quite a distance and allowed Mira a moment to catch his breath. He spread both his arms outward and shot a massive amount of dark energy from his chest which began to take shape into an enormous energy ball in front of him. Korian stood wearily and shook off the weak feeling in his knees as Mira completed the preparations for his attack and launched the gigantic energy attack in his direction. Korian knew that whatever that attack struck was done for whether it be him or the planet, so he brought both his hands out in front, both wrists meeting at the thumbs with his other fingers slightly curled. He concentrated on bringing all his leaking energy that made up his aura into his body, which was a struggle under combat conditions, but he managed, nonetheless. His body began to shudder under the strain of his current transformation and the willpower of keeping his power contained within. “Don’t fail me now.” He whispered to himself as he began to concentrate his Ki draw power out in this time of need. Just before Mira’s attack crashed down into him, he called out “FINAL JUDGEMENT!” and a massive energy wave streamed out of his palms and came crashing into Mira’s Minus Energy Ball attack. Korian’s attack managed to Mira’s at bay for the moment but he was losing power fast and needed to come up with something to turn the struggle in his favor. Mira called over to him, “It’s hopeless! I’ll turn you and this entire planet into dust! Everyone you care for will be dead and I will finally have my REVENGE!” Mira pressed his hands forward to force more energy into his attack which caused the energy ball to come closer and closer to overwhelming his foe. Korian’s legs began to shake from fatigue and slowly started to collapse under the strain of putting out so much energy to hold back Mira’s attack. His thoughts crept to his family and friends, everyone that had made an impact on his life. “I’m sorry everyone. I just can’t hold on any longer…” He sank down to a knee as he could barely hold the attack at bay any longer and he resolved to fight to the bitter end. Suddenly, he felt some hands push against his back and begin to lift him back up to his feet. He strained to hold the standing position and the presence made itself known, now it was Shihori who raised her power and transformed back into Super Saiyan 2, she was beaten, bloody and noticeably weak from her earlier battle but she was willing to fight with him until the end. “Shihori?! No! You have to get away, I can’t hold this much longer.” His teenage daughter looked at him defiantly and brought her hands together in the same attack pattern that he was using for his Final Judgement wave. “If you’re staying then I am too. We’re in this together, Papa, no matter what!” Korian turned his attention back across the field of battle to the grinning blue demon and he felt inspired by his daughter’s words to push on. “Right. Let’s do this!” Shihori raised her energy up as high as she could muster and called out, “Final Judgement…. HA!” and fired a shining golden wave which coalesced with his own blue beam attack to increase in size and start pushing back against Mira’s energy ball. The combination blue and gold energy beam slowly began to push the back his attack which made Mira tap further into his power reserves to try and halt its advance. “Choosing to die together? How noble of you, brat. Enjoy your pointless demise along with your weakling parents!” Mira mustered even more dark energy that he pressed into his attack causing the energy ball to creep back even closer to the pair. Shihori began to tremble under this intense pressure and felt like she was about to pass out from pushing her body so hard. Korian gave Shihori a sideways glance and noticed her struggling, likewise he felt like he would fall at any moment. “Don’t quit on me yet. Keep it up for me, keep it up for your grandmother, keep it up for your mother! You’ve got this! Give it everything you’ve got, Shihori! Do it NOW!!!!” The father-daughter duo brought every last bit of power they had left to bear in their attacks which caused the beam to tremendously increase in size and smash completely through Mira’s Negative energy ball, sending the dark energy dispersing across the battlefield like small exploding cluster bombs, the massive Final Judgement wave crashed into Mira who could do nothing to hold it back, his face twisted from a look of surprise to one of horror and pain as he came to the realization that he was bested yet again. His body began to contort and come apart piece by piece, “DAMN YOU SAIYANS!” The enormous energy wave caused Mira’s body to implode in on itself after his limbs were ripped from his body and vaporized by the intense energy output, even his small pulsing core was completely obliterated. [ATTACH alt="Korian&Shihori2.png"]213[/ATTACH] After their attack ceased and what remained cut through the atmosphere of their home planet and cascaded into outer space, Shihori struggled for air and she reverted to her normal base form, collapsing onto her back. Korian’s god Ki faded from his body which caused his hair to fall back to normal. His body began to tremble from all the strain he had put on it and he collapsed right next to his fallen daughter, gasping for air. “We…. did….it….” Shihori gulped up enough air to give a strained reply, “…. Yeah…. we…did.” Korian managed to shakily get to his feet and helped Shihori sit up off the ground. She looked at him with tired eyes and a half smile, “I really have to use the bathroom.” Korian smiled proudly at his daughter and an exhausted laughed. Shihori’s eyes suddenly sprang open wide as she realized they needed to find her mother. “Papa! Mama was hurt! Let’s go!” Korian found what little strength he had left to lift his daughter off the ground, and they set out across the shattered battlefield to where she had fallen. “Mama!” Shihori called out sharply as they searched amongst all the debris for Sorrel. Korian stopped once he saw a blood trail leading away from a sizable stain on the ground, his heart sank, he followed it a short distance with Shihori close behind. Not long after they found Sorrel huddled up against a boulder, they both ran to her and Korian fell to his knees at the sight of what Mira had down to the lovely wife. He gently lifted her head up and which caused her to gasp for air through all the blood and gore that filled her mouth. Her one working eye slowly opened as she searched for who disturbed her. “Mama….” Shihori took her right hand up and gently cupped it in her grasp, tears began to fall down her cheeks as the young girl didn’t know what to do or say in this moment. Sorrel’s breathing became more labored, Korian knew in his heart that these were the final moments he was going to spend together with Sorrel, tears streamed from his eyes as he cradled his dying wife. Thoughts of their life together flashed before him and in that moment, he desperately clung on to the happy memories to block out this living nightmare. Sorrel looked right into Korian's eyes and she opened her mouth to speak and to tell him how much she loved him one last time, but she only managed a whimper, Mira had crushed her throat and her labored breathing rattled with blood. Tears slowly rolled down her blood-stained face when she saw her daughter crying over her. Shihori bent forward to cling to Sorrel and gently kiss her on the cheek, she sobbed and wanted nothing more than to feel her mother’s embrace one last time. Korian struggled to say anything, to do anything in the moment, only managing a very pained reply “I promise that I’ll do whatever it takes.” Sorrel’s pained expression softened, and she drifted off with one last escape of breath, her head sank into Korian's arms and her beautiful red eye was now staring blankly. "Mama, no! Please don't leave me! I love you so much, please! Please come back to me! I’ll do anything, just give me back my Mom." Shihori completely broke down in tears, she threw herself onto her mother’s body crying uncontrollably and clutching on to her desperately. The tears that rolled down Korian’s cheeks felt so cold, what pained him the most was the sight of Shihori begging anything and everything to bring her mother back to her. They both held onto each other and Sorrel for a long time. [ATTACH alt="Death of Sorrel.png"]244[/ATTACH] Back at their house, Kitsune was worried as she felt the battle occur, the power levels rise and some disappear, she waited outside nervously for any word or sign that her family was safe. Yet, her worst fears were realized when she saw her granddaughter and Korian land in front of the house carrying a motionless Sorrel. She ran to them and was intercepted by Shihori who collapsed in tears with her grandmother taking her into her arms. Kitsune looked on in disbelief and horror when Korian walked past them with Sorrel cradled in his arms. He took Sorrel’s body around back to clean her up and have a moment to himself, once he was out of sight of the other two he just sank down to the ground with his hands trembling and tears streaming down his cheeks, he cradled her cold body and began to rock back and forth. It was the first time in his life he didn’t know what to do, he was utterly lost, Mira may be gone, but their victory was pyrrhic, Korian was broken, Shihori had lost her mother, his world was destroyed. The demon had claimed victory in the end after all. A few days later, Korian stood with his adoptive mother and daughter as they laid Sorrel to rest and said goodbye in their own way. Gathered around were some friendly faces that wanted to pay their respects, each wearing a black mourning band around their arm. Such faces as Hopp, Roh, Sidra, Mojito, and the Trio de Dangers were gathered around the grave where Sorrel was laid to rest. Shihori couldn’t cry anymore and she just whimpered softly to herself and she held onto a lovely smiling photo of her mother for people to remember Sorrel in life. Korian was stoic and he felt like a hollow shell of his former self. They buried Sorrel under the tree in their front yard, a small marker was placed and Shihori had gathered some lovely white flowers to lay on her mother’s grave. Each person in attendance paid their respects and were gathered together by Kitsune so they could all share happier memories of Sorrel amongst one another. Korian was approached by Mojito who he gave a weary eyed gaze to but tried to tell him thank you for coming, the Angel abruptly stopped him, “Your family have selflessly served our universe time and again. You’ve sacrificed so much that we can never repay you. I just wish I was able to bring her back for you….” Korian’s expression changed to one of confusion. “What do you mean?” Mojito explained that he had the power to restore life under normal circumstances, but since Sorrel had been killed by a demon, her soul couldn’t find peace in the Otherworld, so his powers would not work in this instance. Korian’s expression fell again but Mojito interjected on the down note, “But there may still be a way. Have you ever heard of Dragon Balls?” The Angel smiled in punctuation. Later that day, once everyone else had departed, Korian gathered Shihori and Kitsune at the table to have a discussion from what he had learned from Mojito. He explained to them that there was a possibility they could bring Sorrel back with the use of something called the Super Dragon Balls. He continued that they would need to travel to universes six and seven in order to collect all seven balls so they could summon the dragon and wish for Sorrel’s life back. “Korian, do you really believe this to be true? I mean once someone is gone, they’re gone, we must learn to live with that. You know I have.” Kitsune said tinged with a bit of sadness as she had seen far too many lost loved ones in her life. Korian listened to her words and began to doubt himself, doubt what he had heard and was trying to make sense of it all right now. Shihori jumped up and slammed her fists down on the table in anger, “You promised her! You said that you would do whatever it takes!” They both stopped to look at Shihori who had tears in her eyes from her angry outburst. Korian tried to reach out to take her by the hand “Shihori….” but she just snatched it back and pointed at him accusingly, “Don’t tell me you lied to her just to make her feel better while she was dying. Don’t you dare tell me you lied to Mama. Because…. because….” she began to choke up and was taken in her father’s arms in a hug which she fought and pounded her fist against his chest. “I won’t forgive you if you did. You promised, Papa. You promised.” Korian heard her words and made his decision there and now. He couldn't let his daughter down or the memory of Sorrel go that easily. “I know, baby. I plan to keep my promise. We’ll bring her back.”[/FONT][/COLOR] [ATTACH]359[/ATTACH] [FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)]A few days after, Shihori was gathering things up in her room and packing them into a bag, she very diligently double checked to make sure she had extra of everything she needed for the trip. She went over to her dresser and opened the top drawer to retrieve a very special item she had been saving for last. She wrapped her mother's red scarf around her neck and proudly looked at herself in the mirror with a confident smile. In that moment she could imagine her mother proudly standing behind her and giving her that wonderful, loving look she always gave her daughter. She grabbed her bag and took one last look at her room before turning off the lights and heading outside. There she was joined by her father and grandmother, Kitsune was hugging Korian profusely and refusing to let him go. "Are you sure you won't reconsider?" he said to Kitsune who stepped over to Shihori and pulled her into a hug. "Someone needs to hold down the fort while you're gone. I had the Supreme Kai make sure that all your other friends are doing their part to keep us safe. Besides, you've got Shihori looking after you, so I know you'll be fine." Kitsune kissed her granddaughter several times on the cheek before letting go and stepped back with a smile to admire both her children. "I promise we'll come back in one piece and we'll have what we need to bring Sorrel back for good." Korian confidently clenched his fist and he looked to his daughter who had taken him by the hand. Shihori lead her father over to her mother's grave which still had the lovely white flowers adorning it. "Well, Mama, we're going to be off now, and I promise to look after Papa while we're gone." Korian looked down at his wife's grave and nodded in agreeance with Shihori, placing an arm around his daughter's shoulders. "And we're going to bring you back to life. Whatever it takes." he said in solidarity with her sentiment. This made Shihori beam brightly and the two took a few more minutes of reflection together. They both waved and Shihori blew a kiss to her grandmother who was looking sad to see them go but also proud to see her children taking a stand for what they believed. Korian focused on taking them to his old home in Universe Seven, where his grand journey had begun and now where a new journey was beginning. Just before they vanished into thin air, he said to himself, "Whatever it takes."[/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
