Mai was tagging along with her for the moment and promised her that she would keep Trunks occupied to give her the time she needed with him. Goten hurried over to Shihori who drew on all her willpower to force a smile and looked surprised when he picked her up. They kissed like nothing was wrong and Shihori tried to put as much passion as she could muster into their greeting even though she clearly had other things on her mind, “Hey babe, I missed you so much!” Goten gave Mai a hug in greeting who also seamlessly played along with the routine, “Hey Goten.” She turned to Shihori and gave her a wink that went unseen by Goten, “I’m going to meet up with Trunks. We’ll catch you guys later.” They parted ways and the young couple was left alone in the yard to their own devices. Shihori truly felt awkward but she knew in her heart that she needed to get to the bottom of this whole sordid affair. “Are you hungry? It’s almost lunch and I could really use something to eat.” Goten smiled and offered his hand to her, she interlaced her fingers between his own and they headed off walking down the street to a local café. Once they had settled down with their food, Shihori took a sip of her tea while Goten went about drinking some water, “So, tell me how was the tournament? Anything exciting happen?” Goten nodded as he put down his glass and groaned as he began to explain everything in detail, “Ugh! Too much that it makes my head hurt. Where do I begin?” He recounted all the events of the tournament like his pairing with Buu and the guy that he swore was hitting on him and Trunks, but he finished up with, “So then this kid just jumps on my dad’s back and they take off. He said something about training, go figure. My mom is taking it better than I expected but I should have known that it was only a matter of time before my dad pulled another stunt. You’re really lucky that your father is so grounded.” Shihori had her arms propped up and hands folded with her head resting against them. She looked at Goten expecting him to continue on with the story but after that there was nothing further. She had such high expectations of him, Goten had never done anything to make her doubt him in the slightest. These feelings were overwhelming like she was trapped in a room with the walls collapsing in on her. She was disappointed to say the least and it was a hard lesson that was unfolding before her eyes, “That sure is a heavy burden to shoulder. Did anything else happen or is that it?” Goten shook his head still in disbelief of his father’s actions and he picked up his water to take a drink. “So, whose Rox?” Shihori just came out swinging from the very beginning out of the blue. Goten choked while he was taking a drink from his glass and water dribbled down his chin. He looked quite surprised and his eyes quickly fell onto Shihori who started to look awfully serious while awaiting his answer. “Rox? Whose that?” She took a deep breath and folded her arms over her chest, “I’m told you’re fairly recently acquainted.” Goten tried his best to keep a straight face as he felt a sense of panic set in and start to rise up in his chest like his heart was trying to escape out of his mouth. “Nah, I mean, maybe they’re someone I know casually, you know…. around.” Shihori nodded slowly, “Okay, I just wanted to know because I heard a crazy rumor.” Goten looked curious and he decided to take the bait, “Oh? Like what?” Shihori licked her lips in a thoughtful manner before she prepared to speak, she looked Goten directly in his eyes, “Like how you were kissing each other after the tournament. I’m told she had you up against the wall with her tongue shoved down your throat!” Shihori leaned back in her chair and she started to shake her head in disbelief as the words left her mouth. She felt like was about to have a full-blown anxiety attack. The buildup was too much for her to bear and her expression suddenly shifted to one of distressed sadness. She felt if she didn’t say everything she wanted to right here and now she might collapse from holding it in any longer. Shihori fought back the tears to keep her composure and not lose her edge but her eyes started to water while she attempted to put on a brave face, “I wanted to hear about it from you. I trusted you to tell me the truth about what happened. Even after everything I heard I wanted to believe there was something that I was wrong about. You just denied everything to my face. You lied to me Goten! How could you?!” Goten was leaning forward with his mouth hanging open as if he was at a loss for words but he desperately wanted to tell her that he screwed up. He wanted to tell her that he was ambushed, that he was shocked by what happened and he failed to properly react. Yet all he could muster were excuses and apologies, “Shihori, I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you, but I was ashamed of what you might think.” Shihori stood up visibly shaking as she slammed her hands down on the tabletop, “I trusted you, Goten!” She paused and shook her head like she came to a sudden realization, “You know what?! That’s my fault for being so naïve but you’re still the one who is a damn liar!” She stormed off drawing the gaze of the other patrons on her way out of the cafe. Goten quickly leapt to his feet and gave chase in a desperate attempt to salvage the collapsing situation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Shihori started marching down the street when Goten jogged up behind her in a hurry, “Shihori! Wait!” He had just caught up to her when she whirled around and pointed a finger right in his face, “I don’t want to hear any more of your bullshit! Just stay away from me, you hear?!” Goten took a step forward and opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off, “No! Save it for someone who gives a shit! You’re just going to tell me what I want to hear to get yourself off the hook! I’m not buying any of your lies! Go tell it to your new girlfriend!” At this point tears were running down her cheeks and she was actively sobbing while she back pedaled into the street. Some hover cars stopped and began to honk their horns at the girl impeding traffic in the middle of the road. She was pointing at Goten and shaking her head in disbelief, “I hope you know that I loved you so much and you just had to break my heart. F&@# you! You’re such a f*#$ing asshole, Son Goten! I never want to see you again!” She turned away from him in tears and leapt up into the sky to fly away in a hurry from this waking nightmare. Several onlookers stood in disbelief at this young lady that took off like a rocket into the sky. Goten was left on the ground staring up at her disappearing contrail of energy. Never in his life had he felt so ashamed and disgusted with himself.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Shihori headed for home in a state of despair with the wind chilling the tears that continued to stream out of her eyes. She didn’t know what she was going to do now but she knew she hated everything about the way she felt. Once she was home, she burst into her apartment and threw herself face down on the bed. She continued to sob into the sheets for what felt like hours until she was completely numb from head to toe. She felt hollow as if her heart was ripped out of her chest by Goten’s deceitfulness. She sniffled and turned her head to the side so she could catch her breath between sobs. While wiping the tears out of her eyes, she caught a glint of light out of the corner of her eye. She slowly focused on it and noticed there was an unopened bottle of vodka sitting on the kitchenette counter. Shihori stood up off the bed and walked over to pick up the bottle. She stared at it for a while in contemplation of what she intended to do with it. Her mind was racing with so many things and her conscience screamed as a tiny voice in the background to be responsible. Nothing made sense anymore and she fell back onto her darker impulses when she twisted off the cap. She put the mouth of the bottle to her lips and started to drink it straight, the liquid inside burned but at the same time quickly began to quench the insufferable ache that permeated throughout her whole body. She paused to look at the remaining contents of the bottle and for a moment she felt self-pity about what she was doing to herself. The liquid inside the bottle made her numb and the more she drank the less the thoughts of Goten caused her heartache. For now, they slipped to the back of her mind into a place that felt like they couldn’t hurt her anymore. The more she drowned her sorrows with the intoxicating liquid, the better she thought she felt, but the reality was quite the contrary. Shihori couldn’t even feel the tears that were slowly careening down her cheeks. Was this the remnants of her sadness over the situation with Goten or something else entirely? She wanted to crawl inside the bottle to hide from the world because at least there no one would be able to hurt her.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Universe 7, Unknown planet at the edge of the galaxy</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">A cloaked figure hovered in the upper atmosphere of a planet which was surrounded on all sides by seven planet sized spheres. The gave a sly smile of self-satisfaction, after waiting for so long it was finally time to act. This one act would only be the beginning of things to come and they shivered in anticipation of what would come to pass. They raised their blue colored hands to heavens to capture the energy of this moment. A female voice spoke out in a confident and assertive tone, “saep ytterp hsiw ym tnarg dna, sdoG eht fo nogarD, htrof emoC!” The seven giant orbs cast forth a blinding light as the Divine Dragon was summoned forth form its slumber. The enormous golden dragon hovered across large swaths of the galaxy and focused its attention on the summoner. The figure entered into the confines of the Divine Dragon’s body to speak directly to its core. There a smaller visage of the golden dragon hovered before the cloaked figure and commanded they speak their wish. The female spoke once again in her cool and confident voice to the Divine Dragon, “tenalp siht no deviver eb ot esrevinu htneetruof eht morf srotaripsnoc-oc ym rof hsiw I!” The dragon acknowledged the wish that was spoken and roared before flapping its enormous wings and launching its body across time and space at amazing speeds to effect the wish as spoken. The Super Dragon Balls scattered themselves across the far reaches of Universes 6 and 7 until they were needed again.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The cloaked figure lowered themselves down from space into the atmosphere of the planet below. Touching down on the surface of the world the figure walked a few paces to stand before a group of six bewildered and unique looking individuals that were gathered together, “My dear friends, welcome back to the living,” the cloaked female voice called out to them which drew awe struck gazes and smiles from the whole group. “I can’t believe it’s really you!” The group parted for a young man who appeared to be in his late twenties to early thirties. He had olive green skin, short cropped black hair that was shaved on the sides, and hazel eyes. He was dressed in a black vest with white sleeveless shirt underneath, black loose-fitting pants tied at the waist with a dark red sash, and black boots with white soles. The female figure smiled to herself and motioned him forward with a slight gesture of her hand, “Vardier.” The young man took the cloaked female by the hand and knelt before her whole holding her hand to his face, tears welled in his eyes and he gritted his teeth, “You saved me, no, us all from oblivion.” He gestured to the others gathered behind him, “We can never repay this kindness.” She directed him to his feet and reached out with her slender blue hand to touch his face very kindly, “There is no need for thanks. Now that you’re all here we can seize our place, our rightful place in the universe. We’ll finally be free of HIM.” The cloaked female walked side by side with Vardier back to the group of five that were still in awe to be amongst the living. She called out to them one by one, “Kanzō!” There stood a tall dark blue skinned man with a handsome face, yellow eyes, long white hair pulled back into a ponytail, his ears were long and came to a point. He was dressed in a red tunic with a dark form fitting under shirt, a yellow scarf flowed around his neck, a brown leather belt was tied around his waist which was adorned with a curved blade long sword similar in design to a Grosses Messer on his left hip and a long bladed knife similar to a Bowie knife on his right hip, he wore brown leather boots that came up to his shins. He ran his hand back over his hair as he was addressed, “I am at your service.” She continued on with the group, “Shira and Meru!” The twin females politely bowed in unison. They were strikingly human in appearance with pale white skin and long silver hair. Meru had ice blue eyes and Shira’s were purple. Shira and Meru bore dark red markings at the corner of their eyes like cat-eye makeup. They were dressed in identically but in different colors, Shira wearing white leggings and a form fitting blue shirt affixed around the waist with a black belt, she wore ankle length black shoes. Meru wore black leggings and a form fitting gold shirt affixed around the waist with a black belt, she wore identical black shoes. “Maida!” There stood a hulking red skinned figure with spikey black hair, and green eyes. He was shirtless and wore dark green pants, black boots, and wore fingerless black gloves. The giant man clenched one of his massive fists and held it up to show her he was ready. “And lastly, Shinamo!” There stood a man who seemed to be mostly comprised of machine parts with a set of metal arms and an armored chest, he wore a black metal face mask across his nose and mouth to conceal his mostly dark-skinned humanoid face, he strikingly had glowing red eyes. He wore a black mesh shirt over his metal laced torso, black form fitting pants, and black boots with spikes affixed to the heels and toes of the footwear. The cloaked female walked back to the center of the group with Vardier standing by her side, “My dear friends allow me to explain our current situation. We have been victimized by the high gods that claim they rule over all living things! We once stood amongst the best and brightest in our universe. Everything we worked so hard to build, everything we strove for, erased in a mere instant. Well, here you all stand with me now and I intend for us to start anew! We will guide these mindless drones who blindly follow these misguided deities to salvation, but if they refuse to see the truth then……we shall release them from their blind servitude, permanently!” The group began to cheer and share in the revelry of the speech. Vardier smiled as he looked to his companion. “We will start by going to those who I have identified as in league with the higher gods of Universe 7 and Universe 9. These people blindly follow the misguided Supreme Kais, the ignorant Gods of Destruction, and worst of all, the deceitful Angels of their respective universes.” The cloaked female held out her hand and materialized a long black staff with a green orb affixed to the top. She held it aloft and from the orb was projected photos of Trunks, Goten, and Shihori with their location pinpointed on Earth. Vegeta had a question mark next to his face as did Son Goku. Korian was next, then Sorrel, Kuroba, and Kitsune, all pinpointed on planet Basur in Universe 9. “Kanzō, as my lead general you will go to Earth to deal with those three children. Do not let their youthful appearance fool you, they are highly dangerous foes. If they refuse to be swayed, then you are free to act as you see fit.” Kanzō crossed his arm over his chest as a form of salute and bowed slightly at the waist to her. Vardier stepped up to him and clapped him on the shoulder, “Kanzō, my dear friend. Don’t do anything too reckless. I would hate to lose you so shortly after our revival.” He just smirked and scoffed at his friend, “No need to worry. I’ll make short work of this and we’ll be catching up before you know it. It’s just like old times.” The cloaked female stopped before Shira and Meru, “Ladies, I require you to look into the locations of the ones called Vegeta and Son Goku. They disappeared as I was preparing the Super Dragon Balls. Find them but do not engage in any way. Report what you find back here to me.” The twins looked to each other with a smile and bowed to her respectfully as the replied in unison, “As you wish, milady.” She next approached Maida and Shinamo, “My friends, I aim to ask much of you but working together I have no fear that you can accomplish your task. The one called Korian, find him. Act accordingly with his family and please do mind his son. Such a small child is but an innocent in this war. If you are met with any resistance, then do what you must to protect yourselves.” The pair nodded and Maida slapped Shinamo on the back, “Hope you’re up to the task, tin man.” Shinamo just turned his head to Maida and focused his red eyed gaze on him, “Please don’t call me that.” Maida let out of a boisterous laugh and clapped the cyborg on the back again, “Don’t blow a circuit! I’m just busting your chops!” The female stepped back and looked at all her gathered soldiers, “You all know what to do but most importantly come back alive. I want you to know that I cherish each one of you greatly.” She tapped her staff against the ground and three columns of light erupted from the ground to send each party off to the respective locations. Vardier turned toward her with a look of concern, “I should be going with them. With my powers I can handle any danger they might face.” She gently caressed his face with her fingertips, “Now, now my dear. All I require of you is your patience. Your role is the most critical of all and rest assured I have faith that you will perform beautifully.” Vardier placed his hand on top of her hand while she caressed his face. He stepped forward and leaned into the hood to passionately kiss the female figure underneath. Her hands ran their way down his chest until she pushed back from him slightly, “Soon my love. Soon we will have it all and nothing but time to relish in our victory.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Universe 7, Earth </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Mai was beginning to grow restless; it had been a week since she had seen Shihori and she was getting more concerned for her best friend the more time went on. Every call she made to her phone went to voicemail and every time she went by her apartment; she received no reply at the door. Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, she decided to take matters into her own hands and pick the lock on her door. Mai knelt down in front of the door and carefully worked the pick into the tumblers on the lock. These were skills she had acquired in a past life unknown to her friends, but she still managed well enough to pop the lock in a few seconds. She turned the knob and opened the door to a dimly lit room with the blinds drawn over the windows. Once she stepped inside, she kicked a few empty aluminum cans on the floor. Mai reached over to turn on the lights which illuminated a complete mess of empty beer cans, liquor bottles, and instant ramen packages strewn across the floor. A prostrate Shihori was unconscious on the bed wearing black hip hugging panties and a white tank top that was pulled up just underneath her breasts. The brown-haired bunny was snoring loudly while she was laid out across the bed with one leg dangling off the side. Mai sighed to herself and went over to Shihori to try and rouse her from her slumber. She began to lightly shake her which only elicited Shihori to reach up and scratch her exposed tummy. Mai reached down and tugged on one of her ears, “Shihori!” The young lady opened her eyes in a daze and looked around the room like she was in a fog until her eyes settled on Mai, “Shit! I’m trying to sleep!” She pulled a pillow over her face to shield her eyes from the light. Mai crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her disheveled state, it appeared that she hadn’t showered at all today and her hair was a tangled mess, “Shihori, just what are you doing? I mean look at this place, look at YOU! You look like a complete mess and you smell like a dive bar.” Shihori uncovered her face and squinted her eyes in an attempt to focus on Mai’s face, “What’re you talking about? I’m not drunk, I haven’t had anything to drink since I went to bed.” She started to look around the room again curiously as if she was searching for something. “What time is it? My alarm clock is broken.” She gestured over to the smashed pile of plastic in the overflowing garbage can in the corner. Mai sighed again and looked at her watch, “It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon.” Shihori stared at her blankly for a moment while her mind processed the information, “Whaaaat? That can’t be, I laid down for my nap at 4 in the afternoon.” Mai gave her a flabbergasted expression, “Shihori, you’ve been asleep for 22 hours! What the hell is going on with you?!” Shihori rolled off the bed onto her feet and she shakily strode past Mai toward her kitchen counter. “What’s going on with me? Well, allow me to bring you up to speed with the shit storm that is my life.” Shihori opened her refrigerator and retrieved a six pack of Hetap and a bottle of vodka that was stored in the freezer. “I’ve had an epiphany, Mai. Men are f*!@$ing assholes.” She proceeded to pour the entire liter bottle of vodka into a large pitcher that she pulled out of the sink. She opened three cans of Hetap at the same time and added them into the concoction she was creating. “You want some?” Mai shook her head to decline and she sat down on the bed. “But what happened between you and Goten? I haven’t seen you in days and when I last saw him, he looked really depressed. I figured something happened, but I wanted to talk to you about it.” Shihori picked up the pitcher and proceeded to drink the entire contents by herself in one long continuous gulp. She set down the empty pitcher and let out a satisfied, “Ahhhh!” Promptly producing a loud belch as an exclamation point to her satisfaction with the beverage. Mai’s eyes went wide with a mixture of disgust and shock. She stood up to get closer to her to get to the bottom of this, “This isn’t healthy, Shihori. Why are you doing this to yourself?” Shihori leaned forward on the counter and tucked her chin into her open hands with an intoxicated and playful smirk, “You want to know why?” Mai nodded, “Yes, Shihori, I love you, I don’t want to see you do this to yourself.” Shihori slammed her hands down on the countertop in a burst of anger that made Mai jump in fright, “Because the man I loved, he...the man….” Shihori became choked up on her words as her expression began to distort to one of sadness, “…I gave myself to. He lied to me and...” She gritted her teeth as she fought back the tears, “…cheated on me with that blonde whore!” Shihori collapsed forward and began to weep softly to herself. Mai was stunned by her admission, “Oh, honey. I am so sorry; I didn’t know you had….” She was a little embarrassed to say it out loud and she began to make suggestive hand gestures. “...done that with him.” Mai went around the counter and pulled her into a hug while Shihori softly sobbed her eyes out into her shoulder, “I loved him so much and he lied to me about everything. Why would he do that to me?” Shihori’s face was twisted in pain and sadness as she reflected on how the situation made her feel. Mai gently stroked her hair and rocked her back and forth, “It’s going to be okay. Bitch, you’re gorgeous. You can have any guy you want.” Shihori sniffled and couldn’t help but chuckle at Mai’s comment. “You really think I’m gorgeous?” She stood in front of her best friend with her eyes completely bloodshot from a combination of binge drinking and crying. Her hair was a tangled mess, she smelled like a distillery and a brewery had a fight to see who world champion would be. Plus, the fact that she was braless while wearing a white tank top and black panties; gave off the impression she didn’t give a damn about her appearance. Mai gave her a warm smile while she continued to pet her hair and ears, “Of course, sweetie but first we need to clean you up. I’m going to prove to you that you don’t need that cheating asshole Goten. There’s a house party tonight at one of the fraternities for West City University. We should go to have a good time. You’ll meet someone new then you’ll forget all about Goten in no time. What do you say?” Shihori looked around her disheveled room and then at what she had been wearing for the past few days, “Okay, but I think I need to clean up around here and take a shower first.” Mai chuckled at her brutal honesty, “Good idea.”</span></p></blockquote><p></p>

She didn’t know what she was going to do now but she knew she hated everything about the way she felt. Once she was home, she burst into her apartment and threw herself face down on the bed. She continued to sob into the sheets for what felt like hours until she was completely numb from head to toe. She felt hollow as if her heart was ripped out of her chest by Goten’s deceitfulness. She sniffled and turned her head to the side so she could catch her breath between sobs. While wiping the tears out of her eyes, she caught a glint of light out of the corner of her eye. She slowly focused on it and noticed there was an unopened bottle of vodka sitting on the kitchenette counter. Shihori stood up off the bed and walked over to pick up the bottle. She stared at it for a while in contemplation of what she intended to do with it. Her mind was racing with so many things and her conscience screamed as a tiny voice in the background to be responsible. Nothing made sense anymore and she fell back onto her darker impulses when she twisted off the cap. She put the mouth of the bottle to her lips and started to drink it straight, the liquid inside burned but at the same time quickly began to quench the insufferable ache that permeated throughout her whole body. She paused to look at the remaining contents of the bottle and for a moment she felt self-pity about what she was doing to herself. The liquid inside the bottle made her numb and the more she drank the less the thoughts of Goten caused her heartache. For now, they slipped to the back of her mind into a place that felt like they couldn’t hurt her anymore. The more she drowned her sorrows with the intoxicating liquid, the better she thought she felt, but the reality was quite the contrary. Shihori couldn’t even feel the tears that were slowly careening down her cheeks. Was this the remnants of her sadness over the situation with Goten or something else entirely? She wanted to crawl inside the bottle to hide from the world because at least there no one would be able to hurt her. Universe 7, Unknown planet at the edge of the galaxy A cloaked figure hovered in the upper atmosphere of a planet which was surrounded on all sides by seven planet sized spheres. The gave a sly smile of self-satisfaction, after waiting for so long it was finally time to act. This one act would only be the beginning of things to come and they shivered in anticipation of what would come to pass. They raised their blue colored hands to heavens to capture the energy of this moment. A female voice spoke out in a confident and assertive tone, “saep ytterp hsiw ym tnarg dna, sdoG eht fo nogarD, htrof emoC!” The seven giant orbs cast forth a blinding light as the Divine Dragon was summoned forth form its slumber. The enormous golden dragon hovered across large swaths of the galaxy and focused its attention on the summoner. The figure entered into the confines of the Divine Dragon’s body to speak directly to its core. There a smaller visage of the golden dragon hovered before the cloaked figure and commanded they speak their wish. The female spoke once again in her cool and confident voice to the Divine Dragon, “tenalp siht no deviver eb ot esrevinu htneetruof eht morf srotaripsnoc-oc ym rof hsiw I!” The dragon acknowledged the wish that was spoken and roared before flapping its enormous wings and launching its body across time and space at amazing speeds to effect the wish as spoken. The Super Dragon Balls scattered themselves across the far reaches of Universes 6 and 7 until they were needed again. The cloaked figure lowered themselves down from space into the atmosphere of the planet below. Touching down on the surface of the world the figure walked a few paces to stand before a group of six bewildered and unique looking individuals that were gathered together, “My dear friends, welcome back to the living,” the cloaked female voice called out to them which drew awe struck gazes and smiles from the whole group. “I can’t believe it’s really you!” The group parted for a young man who appeared to be in his late twenties to early thirties. He had olive green skin, short cropped black hair that was shaved on the sides, and hazel eyes. He was dressed in a black vest with white sleeveless shirt underneath, black loose-fitting pants tied at the waist with a dark red sash, and black boots with white soles. The female figure smiled to herself and motioned him forward with a slight gesture of her hand, “Vardier.” The young man took the cloaked female by the hand and knelt before her whole holding her hand to his face, tears welled in his eyes and he gritted his teeth, “You saved me, no, us all from oblivion.” He gestured to the others gathered behind him, “We can never repay this kindness.” She directed him to his feet and reached out with her slender blue hand to touch his face very kindly, “There is no need for thanks. Now that you’re all here we can seize our place, our rightful place in the universe. We’ll finally be free of HIM.” The cloaked female walked side by side with Vardier back to the group of five that were still in awe to be amongst the living. She called out to them one by one, “Kanzō!” There stood a tall dark blue skinned man with a handsome face, yellow eyes, long white hair pulled back into a ponytail, his ears were long and came to a point. He was dressed in a red tunic with a dark form fitting under shirt, a yellow scarf flowed around his neck, a brown leather belt was tied around his waist which was adorned with a curved blade long sword similar in design to a Grosses Messer on his left hip and a long bladed knife similar to a Bowie knife on his right hip, he wore brown leather boots that came up to his shins. He ran his hand back over his hair as he was addressed, “I am at your service.” She continued on with the group, “Shira and Meru!” The twin females politely bowed in unison. They were strikingly human in appearance with pale white skin and long silver hair. Meru had ice blue eyes and Shira’s were purple. Shira and Meru bore dark red markings at the corner of their eyes like cat-eye makeup. They were dressed in identically but in different colors, Shira wearing white leggings and a form fitting blue shirt affixed around the waist with a black belt, she wore ankle length black shoes. Meru wore black leggings and a form fitting gold shirt affixed around the waist with a black belt, she wore identical black shoes. “Maida!” There stood a hulking red skinned figure with spikey black hair, and green eyes. He was shirtless and wore dark green pants, black boots, and wore fingerless black gloves. The giant man clenched one of his massive fists and held it up to show her he was ready. “And lastly, Shinamo!” There stood a man who seemed to be mostly comprised of machine parts with a set of metal arms and an armored chest, he wore a black metal face mask across his nose and mouth to conceal his mostly dark-skinned humanoid face, he strikingly had glowing red eyes. He wore a black mesh shirt over his metal laced torso, black form fitting pants, and black boots with spikes affixed to the heels and toes of the footwear. The cloaked female walked back to the center of the group with Vardier standing by her side, “My dear friends allow me to explain our current situation. We have been victimized by the high gods that claim they rule over all living things! We once stood amongst the best and brightest in our universe. Everything we worked so hard to build, everything we strove for, erased in a mere instant. Well, here you all stand with me now and I intend for us to start anew! We will guide these mindless drones who blindly follow these misguided deities to salvation, but if they refuse to see the truth then……we shall release them from their blind servitude, permanently!” The group began to cheer and share in the revelry of the speech. Vardier smiled as he looked to his companion. “We will start by going to those who I have identified as in league with the higher gods of Universe 7 and Universe 9. These people blindly follow the misguided Supreme Kais, the ignorant Gods of Destruction, and worst of all, the deceitful Angels of their respective universes.” The cloaked female held out her hand and materialized a long black staff with a green orb affixed to the top. She held it aloft and from the orb was projected photos of Trunks, Goten, and Shihori with their location pinpointed on Earth. Vegeta had a question mark next to his face as did Son Goku. Korian was next, then Sorrel, Kuroba, and Kitsune, all pinpointed on planet Basur in Universe 9. “Kanzō, as my lead general you will go to Earth to deal with those three children. Do not let their youthful appearance fool you, they are highly dangerous foes. If they refuse to be swayed, then you are free to act as you see fit.” Kanzō crossed his arm over his chest as a form of salute and bowed slightly at the waist to her. Vardier stepped up to him and clapped him on the shoulder, “Kanzō, my dear friend. Don’t do anything too reckless. I would hate to lose you so shortly after our revival.” He just smirked and scoffed at his friend, “No need to worry. I’ll make short work of this and we’ll be catching up before you know it. It’s just like old times.” The cloaked female stopped before Shira and Meru, “Ladies, I require you to look into the locations of the ones called Vegeta and Son Goku. They disappeared as I was preparing the Super Dragon Balls. Find them but do not engage in any way. Report what you find back here to me.” The twins looked to each other with a smile and bowed to her respectfully as the replied in unison, “As you wish, milady.” She next approached Maida and Shinamo, “My friends, I aim to ask much of you but working together I have no fear that you can accomplish your task. The one called Korian, find him. Act accordingly with his family and please do mind his son. Such a small child is but an innocent in this war. If you are met with any resistance, then do what you must to protect yourselves.” The pair nodded and Maida slapped Shinamo on the back, “Hope you’re up to the task, tin man.” Shinamo just turned his head to Maida and focused his red eyed gaze on him, “Please don’t call me that.” Maida let out of a boisterous laugh and clapped the cyborg on the back again, “Don’t blow a circuit! I’m just busting your chops!” The female stepped back and looked at all her gathered soldiers, “You all know what to do but most importantly come back alive. I want you to know that I cherish each one of you greatly.” She tapped her staff against the ground and three columns of light erupted from the ground to send each party off to the respective locations. Vardier turned toward her with a look of concern, “I should be going with them. With my powers I can handle any danger they might face.” She gently caressed his face with her fingertips, “Now, now my dear. All I require of you is your patience. Your role is the most critical of all and rest assured I have faith that you will perform beautifully.” Vardier placed his hand on top of her hand while she caressed his face. He stepped forward and leaned into the hood to passionately kiss the female figure underneath. Her hands ran their way down his chest until she pushed back from him slightly, “Soon my love. Soon we will have it all and nothing but time to relish in our victory.” Universe 7, Earth Mai was beginning to grow restless; it had been a week since she had seen Shihori and she was getting more concerned for her best friend the more time went on. Every call she made to her phone went to voicemail and every time she went by her apartment; she received no reply at the door. Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, she decided to take matters into her own hands and pick the lock on her door. Mai knelt down in front of the door and carefully worked the pick into the tumblers on the lock. These were skills she had acquired in a past life unknown to her friends, but she still managed well enough to pop the lock in a few seconds. She turned the knob and opened the door to a dimly lit room with the blinds drawn over the windows. Once she stepped inside, she kicked a few empty aluminum cans on the floor. Mai reached over to turn on the lights which illuminated a complete mess of empty beer cans, liquor bottles, and instant ramen packages strewn across the floor. A prostrate Shihori was unconscious on the bed wearing black hip hugging panties and a white tank top that was pulled up just underneath her breasts. The brown-haired bunny was snoring loudly while she was laid out across the bed with one leg dangling off the side. Mai sighed to herself and went over to Shihori to try and rouse her from her slumber. She began to lightly shake her which only elicited Shihori to reach up and scratch her exposed tummy. Mai reached down and tugged on one of her ears, “Shihori!” The young lady opened her eyes in a daze and looked around the room like she was in a fog until her eyes settled on Mai, “Shit! I’m trying to sleep!” She pulled a pillow over her face to shield her eyes from the light. Mai crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her disheveled state, it appeared that she hadn’t showered at all today and her hair was a tangled mess, “Shihori, just what are you doing? I mean look at this place, look at YOU! You look like a complete mess and you smell like a dive bar.” Shihori uncovered her face and squinted her eyes in an attempt to focus on Mai’s face, “What’re you talking about? I’m not drunk, I haven’t had anything to drink since I went to bed.” She started to look around the room again curiously as if she was searching for something. “What time is it? My alarm clock is broken.” She gestured over to the smashed pile of plastic in the overflowing garbage can in the corner. Mai sighed again and looked at her watch, “It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon.” Shihori stared at her blankly for a moment while her mind processed the information, “Whaaaat? That can’t be, I laid down for my nap at 4 in the afternoon.” Mai gave her a flabbergasted expression, “Shihori, you’ve been asleep for 22 hours! What the hell is going on with you?!” Shihori rolled off the bed onto her feet and she shakily strode past Mai toward her kitchen counter. “What’s going on with me? Well, allow me to bring you up to speed with the shit storm that is my life.” Shihori opened her refrigerator and retrieved a six pack of Hetap and a bottle of vodka that was stored in the freezer. “I’ve had an epiphany, Mai. Men are f*!@$ing assholes.” She proceeded to pour the entire liter bottle of vodka into a large pitcher that she pulled out of the sink. She opened three cans of Hetap at the same time and added them into the concoction she was creating. “You want some?” Mai shook her head to decline and she sat down on the bed. “But what happened between you and Goten? I haven’t seen you in days and when I last saw him, he looked really depressed. I figured something happened, but I wanted to talk to you about it.” Shihori picked up the pitcher and proceeded to drink the entire contents by herself in one long continuous gulp. She set down the empty pitcher and let out a satisfied, “Ahhhh!” Promptly producing a loud belch as an exclamation point to her satisfaction with the beverage. Mai’s eyes went wide with a mixture of disgust and shock. She stood up to get closer to her to get to the bottom of this, “This isn’t healthy, Shihori. Why are you doing this to yourself?” Shihori leaned forward on the counter and tucked her chin into her open hands with an intoxicated and playful smirk, “You want to know why?” Mai nodded, “Yes, Shihori, I love you, I don’t want to see you do this to yourself.” Shihori slammed her hands down on the countertop in a burst of anger that made Mai jump in fright, “Because the man I loved, he...the man….” Shihori became choked up on her words as her expression began to distort to one of sadness, “…I gave myself to. He lied to me and...” She gritted her teeth as she fought back the tears, “…cheated on me with that blonde whore!” Shihori collapsed forward and began to weep softly to herself. Mai was stunned by her admission, “Oh, honey. I am so sorry; I didn’t know you had….” She was a little embarrassed to say it out loud and she began to make suggestive hand gestures. “...done that with him.” Mai went around the counter and pulled her into a hug while Shihori softly sobbed her eyes out into her shoulder, “I loved him so much and he lied to me about everything. Why would he do that to me?” Shihori’s face was twisted in pain and sadness as she reflected on how the situation made her feel. Mai gently stroked her hair and rocked her back and forth, “It’s going to be okay. Bitch, you’re gorgeous. You can have any guy you want.” Shihori sniffled and couldn’t help but chuckle at Mai’s comment. “You really think I’m gorgeous?” She stood in front of her best friend with her eyes completely bloodshot from a combination of binge drinking and crying. Her hair was a tangled mess, she smelled like a distillery and a brewery had a fight to see who world champion would be. Plus, the fact that she was braless while wearing a white tank top and black panties; gave off the impression she didn’t give a damn about her appearance. Mai gave her a warm smile while she continued to pet her hair and ears, “Of course, sweetie but first we need to clean you up. I’m going to prove to you that you don’t need that cheating asshole Goten. There’s a house party tonight at one of the fraternities for West City University. We should go to have a good time. You’ll meet someone new then you’ll forget all about Goten in no time. What do you say?” Shihori looked around her disheveled room and then at what she had been wearing for the past few days, “Okay, but I think I need to clean up around here and take a shower first.” Mai chuckled at her brutal honesty, “Good idea.”[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
