Chapter 16: Catch and release.
A/N: Hey guys, I thought I'd let you know in the last chapter, Whis mentioned a woman who was a multi-world defender. This woman just so happens to be my Oc in my book; I will be putting small hints of my OC from my book that's on fictionpress.com, into my fanfics. (Or at least, try to remember to. xD)
(The picture above took me a while to make XD! But I still managed to grasp her creepiness at least! \o/ )
On that site, my book, Story of a Dark Goddess, is still in the making and I a few chapters up. Putting a review on my book will let me know, that people actually enjoy reading it, I don't want to put my story up on there....knowing that it would be in vain... :3
Homowasu (Pronunciation: Home-mow-wah-sue) Means: Cutie
O-Ta-meh (Pronunciation: Oh-Tah-meh) Means: Business
----------------
The pink-haired Aeronan was hovering above the ocean, her pink ki wings out and her crossbow guns in both hands. She looked like she was sitting in mid-air, her knees up against her chest and her arms wrapped around them. Both guns still in her grips so they crossed each other in front of her legs. Her head was tilted to one side, whilst her wings flapped elegantly behind her to hold her form in place. Draw them out and fight them, simple! They do not know how we Aeronans work, how we fight, or how we speak... So why hold back? If I get them out of my way, my path to my alternate version will be cleared!~ Simple, simple, so simple... Then when I see her, I wish to take my time killing her... There's no reason to rush after they're out of my way, right? Simple, this will be simple... Oh so simple, no one would even be able to see me anyway!~ At nearly the speed of light, their life will be slain. she mentally stated in her head, while casually floating there in a sitting posture."I will never...tell anyone....why I kill; why I hunt for them, why I murder those who are in my way... They would never understand, they wouldn't care... she added with her red eyes blinking in the process and narrowing.
In the distance, the sight of Gohan slowly became clear as he soared in her direction. He gasped with widened eyes, then vanished to avoid her. She cocked her head to the other side in confusion, questioning why he wanted to get past her. Soon, over, flew Piccolo the man with the third eye, and a short bald guy all surrounded her frame. "Why are you chasing Akasma...?" the green bean asked and crossed his arms, then it was the short guy's turn to speak.
"Yeah, I don't like how you're trying to kill her! She didn't do anything wrong!" The short baldy exclaimed, only to earn giggles from the pinky, and watched as she closed her eyes.
"Why are you laughing?!" the man with the third iris asked, he remembered the white-haired Aeronan from when Beerus got done fighting with Akasma. Not even he knew the reason for Eglatina's desire to kill her...no one did... Everyone got into a fight position after she straightened herself and held up her guns.
One gun aimed at the recently spoken man, the other was aimed at Piccolo. "Because she is me and I am her!~" she happily answered with a pink blush dusting her cheeks.
"Piccolo told us everything, what Whis and Vados said! You've been murdering everyone that wasn't in your own universe! Why Akasma...? She's too nice, too caring to have done anything to you!" the said man with the third eye shouted, with a raise of his clenched fist and anger clear in his features.
"Oh, but, you are wrong!~ She did do something to me!" she giggled and made red ki beads faze from her body, forming red ki-shaped bolts into her guns.
"What was it that she possibly did, to harm you...?" Piccolo questioned and squinted his gaze, not once had he relaxed...cause if he did... Ii could be the death of him.
She looked over at the green man and slowly her features changed. The shade in her hood got darker, her red pupils shrunk and pierced through it. The very sight of that made him feel a bit uneasy so he prepared for any attack she had for him. "Existing...~" she whispered in a dark and ominous, low voice. The small, fingertip-sized ball at the end of the bolt grew bigger. Before she got to shoot the man all three of them shot out ki blasts point-blank. To her it felt slow, something you'd see in slow motion on a screen then she used the whistling wind technique and appeared high above their attacks. She watched as a big explosion expanded and took up a portion of the ocean, then twirled around to aim her gun tip at whoever was behind her.
Piccolo was there...and so were two other clones of him. They both shot out ki attacks while the main green bean disappeared from view. It was quick, she shot out multiple bolts whilst red ki beads fazed off her body like small red glowing streams. Her red bolts collided with each of his shots and made a destructive impact with each one. She chuckled, vanished, and reappeared behind both of them. One of her guns got replaced with a red, double-bladed ki ax and was ready to strike at both of them. She got up close to their backs, swiped horizontally, and cut them in one go. They dispersed, now leaving only one Piccolo left.
I can't let her get away with this! She dodged our ki blasts when we surrounded her and made us hit each other... I have to distract her and buy myself some time, I have to get them out of the water before they drown! he mentally noted and had an attack charging within his hands.
"Let's play a little bit, I want to have some fun!~" she exclaimed and giggled. With a quick spin in place, the girl disappeared and came face to face with him. Their noses just barely touched and her pupils small like before, her sudden appearance made his eyes widen so he released his blast a little too early and messed up his channeling. She evaded it and appeared upside-down behind him, with her giant red ax ready for a good swing.
Teleporting, Piccolo appeared to her side, avoided her swipe and side kicked her in the arm. This made her fly from the contact and head for the water.
Flipping right side up, she skidded backward in a squatting position and halted just an inch above the ocean. Water splashed up behind her from her skid during the process and was giggling the whole time... Suddenly, she burst into full flight, making it look like a bright pink beam shooting out after him. He grunted and covered himself with his arms, though when nothing happened...he peeked over his forearms and gasped. She was soaring in a big circle with surprising speed, nothing but that pink light spiraling around him. She's holding back... I can tell. The last thing I need is to be caught off guard... he mentally spoke, with a bit of relief that he wasn't dead within that second as he watched her circle him rapidly.
He vanished out from the middle of the circle; surprisingly luck was on his side...cause countless bolts shot out towards the middle and would have gotten him. From behind him, she appeared, making the pink spiraling light fade. His gaze widened at feeling her presence behind him then slowly turned his head over his shoulder in astonishment; there he saw the girl gradually raising her finger up to her masked lips, those pupils still shrunk. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh...~" she shooshed him teasingly. Piccolo gasped slightly only to get saved by someone else from getting cut. He got tackled by Gohan, they went into the distance a few feet away and halted.
"Piccolo, are you alright?! Where are the others?!" he questioned the man, albeit rather panicked, his expression showed devastation due to almost arriving too late. The green bean just nodded, had shocked eyes, and didn't even glance at him.
"Yeah, thanks, Gohan... They're still in the water. If you keep her distracted, I can go and get them out of there," His features went from surprised to strict, not even noticing the young man nodding in front of him.
"No problem and ok, hurry piccolo!" he answered, he too grew serious at that moment. Watching the namekian soar down and dive into the ocean, he looked over to face the pink-haired Aeronan. "I'm your opponent now!" he shouted, rose his fists, and powered up. His hair spiked upward and turned blonde, whilst golden light engulfed his entire form.
"OOOOOO PRETTY!" she clapped her hands and giggled with her eyes shut, not even caring that the other guy dove into the water below. "Okaaaay, we can play then!~" she sung before vanishing, a whistle from her speed occurred but it grew higher in pitch.
Gohan closed his lids and concentrated on where her ki was whilst remaining in his super Saiyan form. As if on cue, he dodged an incoming ki ax by moving his head just right. It barely missed, practically scraping his nose on its way past him... Vanishing, he appeared high into the air, put his hands together, and searched for the Aeronan. "Come out of hiding and fight me, I know what kind of fighter you are! You're ranged so you try to hide in the distance! Up here above the ocean, there's nowhere to run so come out and show yourself!" he yelled with a hint of caution and had a plan in mind, hoping that it would work. Gohan could feel her presence everywhere now, it was growing stronger and stronger by the minute. His eyes darted all around his line of vision with his hands still cupped a bit to one side.
What astonished him, was when he heard her whisper behind him in his ear and yet...her body wasn't there... "I'm not hiding....~" A whispered voice echoed and made the man jump, turn in her direction then grow confused; he didn't see her...
Even if I can't see her...this should still work! he mentally yelled and pulled his hands back further to his side. "Kaaaaaaaaaaa...meeeeeeeeeeeee..." he began and light started beaming in between his fingers, with a ball of the same light growing bigger by the minute. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa...meeeeeeeeeeeee..." Focusing then finally, he pushed his hands forward and said the final piece. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A scream left his lips, letting out a gigantic ki blast that shot out in a huge cone. A few seconds after his attack ceased, he broke a sweat and quirked a brow.
"Behind you...~" She whispered once more, only for him to spin kick, and hit nothing but air. To his side, her form became visible and her technique wore off. She was giggling, her eyes were squinted and if her mask was off...she'd be smiling happily. "You sure are slow, mister!~" she kept up with her laughter until a ki beam shot at her and made her inch away to avoid it.
"Vegeta!" Gohan shouted and looked to his side. There the man stood, his arms folded and a scowl evident.
"Go away Gohan, It's my turn to fight!" Vegeta exclaimed and powered up, his hair did the same as the other guy's; it turned yellow, spiked up, and glowed brightly. That was...until a voice resonated nearby and made both men look around.
"There is no need for that.~ Fighting is not necessary when you can simply do this!~" A muscly voice echoed, before the very teal man himself appeared beside the Aeronan. He pointed his staff at her, making a green transparent box surrounded her frame and encase her. "I shall take it from here..." he added, then looked over at Eglantina and frowned.
"Vegeta, we've got to go! I'm going to check up on Piccolo and see if he got Tien and Krillin out of the water..." Gohan explained after yelling with strict features, soon leaving Whis and the other man there.
Vegeta just gawked at his sudden retreat, his mouth hung open and his eyes wide. He grumbled and scowled once more, clenching his fists all the while. "Fine! After waiting for so long, I finally got to fight her and now I can't?!" he angrily yelled, making his ki rise and gain Whis's attention.
"Now now, fighting is not everything," the teal man scolded and rose his staff. He leaned forward, looked through it, and saw Vados soaring through the air. "Vados, I have captured her. I may need your assistance though, seeing as she is from your universe.~" he mused, gaining the woman's attention and having her reply back.
"Alright, I will be right over," With that, he leaned back and smirked. Contact between her and him ended, so he looked up to view the captured Aeronan.
"You have a lot of explaining to do before you go back to your universe..." His words only made her giggle and put herself in a sitting position in midst of the box.
"You have a lot of effort to make before we go back to my universe...~" She mocked, before humming to herself with her eyes shut and swaying her head from side to side.
~~~Elsewhere~~~
On King Kai's planet, Goku was sitting next to an unconscious Akasma. Kai was standing on the other side examining her, his antennas were twitching while his arms were behind his back. "So from what you told me, she is being targeted by a murderer that arrived on earth?" he questioned the gi-guy, then saw him nod with a sound of agreement. "And, the only safe place now...is my planet...?" he asked again...well...it was more like a statement; yet again, the man nodded in response. Humming in thought, he fixed his sunglasses and took a closer look at the woman. "She's an odd species, not even I have seen her kind before... Do you know what she is?" Asking once more before looking up at him, Goku nodded.
"Yeah, she's an Aeronan. Her planet's on the far corner of this universe, hidden from every other species. Well, that's what Whis told everyone... Akasma even explained everything to us," he answered, then decided to explain everything else including Eglantina Shworvin. He mentioned the name of her planet, the name of her species, explained how they were naturally born to control ki and how they fly. He told him everything he could remember, even about Eglantina being from Vados and Lord Chompa's universe.
"GAAAAAH! YOU MEAN SHE'S A RARELY SEEN SPECIES?! Eglantina's a multiverse criminal, she's Akasma's alternate version, and their race can be really powerful if they were trained? Why did you bring her here anyway?! I don't need you leading Eglantina here, she could destroy my planet!" he shouted in surprise from the first part and fear in the last sentence before leaning back.
"Yup, anyway... Could you watch over her? She fell unconscious from her disease and don't worry it's not contagious!" Goku yelled the last bit with a sign of panic, thinking that Kai would have thought of it as contagious.
Contemplating his thoughts, he corrected his posture and stood there. Some sweat built up on the side of his head, then decided to wipe it off using a white cloth. Nodding, he put the cloth away and looked down at the Aeronan. "Alright... Only this once, but if Eglantina comes here, then I don't know what I'll do..." Answering, he soon brought his covered gaze back up to meet dark irises.
"Thanks, King Kai... Now, I have to go! I need to go see how everyone else is-" Before he got to finish, Whis, Vados, both purple felines, and Shworvin popped up behind him. Of course...Eglantina being in Whis's box, just sat there giggling and thinking about hidden...insane thoughts. Goku slowly turned around and smiled real big at seeing the two Gods of Destruction, their attendants, and...the pinky. "Hey, you caught her?!" he happily exclaimed, trotted over to them, and came face to face with Beerus.
(Ignore him touching his nose, this is the best scowl I could find to match the description. xD)
"About time too, Whis managed to catch her in the middle of a fight..." The thinner cat spoke and acted like he wanted to tear someone apart... I mean really, he was scowling and showing one tooth in the corner of his mouth... Chompa just stood to the other cat's side, smirking at knowing they had finally caught the pinky. "Your son told us where you went, so we came here to tell you that we caught her...." Beerus added to his words and frowned.
Goku's smile dropped, walked up to the crazed Aeronan, and stared strictly at the woman. "Why are you trying to kill Akasma...?" he asked rather harshly only to hear her giggle and shake her head.
"Ooooo-ta-meeeeeeeeh, o-ta-meh, o-ta-meh, O-TA-MEEEEEEH! HAHAHAHAHAHHAA!~" She leaned her head back and laughed hard behind that mask of hers, with her feet kicking up in the air a little. With her hood sliding off from gravity, it revealed her short bob-cut pink hair. Fixing her posture, she leaned in closer to Goku's face and put a finger to her masked lips. "That means...business....~ HAHAHAHAHAHA!~" She laughed again, then turned to face the purple cat with squinted eyes and flushed cheeks. "Homowasu...~" Only cute giggles were left from her laughter and tilted her head, keeping her orbs locked with slits. The thin feline growled and rose a brow, then looked over to his attendant with expectation in his eyes.
"Oh my.~ Lord Beerus, it seems she likes you.~" Whis mused and chuckled, now averting his gaze from the pinky to see the cat's reaction. "She said, cutie, it appears she...finds you attractive?" he questioned before glancing back at Eglantina.
"I don't know why she finds me attractive! She is a criminal and-" Before he got to finish, Shworvin leaned closer to Beerus and whispered to where only he could hear.
"I liked it...when you caught my ax.~" she mused, heavier blush painted her cheeks and giggled once more. She leaned back and let her giggles turn into loud laughter, his face...was red. Though one of his eyes was twitching, that scowl remained and his face was almost the color of a tomato.
"What is the matter, Lord Beerus?" Whis blinked, his frown still evident and his purple irises looked down at the cat.
"Stop avoiding the question Eglantina... Why are you after her, I know everyone else is wanting to know the same thing!" Goku rose his voice and clenched his fists. His words caught the pinky's attention and had her red Aeronan orbs move over to view him.
Before they all knew it, she did like before and did that secret technique. Her body disappeared and her presence wafted all around in their area. They all gasped, even Whis thought she was gone but knew she was still around somewhere. So releasing the box, he looked around and waited for her to appear... "Where did she go?!" Chompa exclaimed angrily, while frantically looking around.
"Find her before-" King Kai got cut off when she became visible and held her gun to his head from behind him.
"Thank you for releasing me!~" She giggled and sprawled out her ki wings, disappearing all the while using that whistling wind technique. As if on cue, both Whis and Vados vanished to try and capture her again.
"If I had known she was still in that box, I would not have removed it..." The teal man mumbled as he soared through the air, he was keeping up with her speed effortlessly and so was his sister.
Over with Akasma, she was still out cold. Goku, the two Gods of destruction, and King Kai all surrounded her to keep her safe. Eglantina could snipe her from a mile away or more if she wanted, so it was wise to defend her. Goku was in his fighting stance, Beerus and Chompa continuously shifted their gazes all over the area in hopes to spot any incoming attack. Kai...was using his antennas to keep track of the pinky, to see if she would come back and strike.
"Don't let your guard down, not even for a second!" Chompa shouted, which irritated the thinner feline and made him snap.
"WE ALL ALREADY KNOW THAT TUBBY, SHUT IT! WE'RE TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!" he yelled, a throbbing irk mark popped formed on his head and he looked back at him in rage.
"Guys now is not the time to be fighting! Look!" Goku spoke up and rose his finger out farther away from the planet. They all looked and saw that Whis and his sister, were both trying to reach her using their staves. They were trying not to outfly her, so they could put her in that box again. Once again, she did it...she made her body disappear and had her presence surround the whole environment. She was gone...
The two attendants floated there and soon they both sighed. "Honestly, must she always use that to get away...?~" Whis questioned and Vados closed her eyes with a sweatdrop rolling down her head.
It wasn't long until they returned to King Kai, they appeared not too far from where they left originally. "She is a rogue, after all. Perhaps waiting for her technique to wear off would be best," Vados spoke, before looking over at the pallid Aeronan. She blinked and mentally questioned the Aeronan's unconscious state. "Is she alright?" she added and made Whis peer over at Akasma's slumbering form.
The teal man frowned at seeing her in that state, he actually felt a little sorry for her since she had that disease. Looking back over at him, she contently smirked with a plan in mind. "Whis, I have an idea.~" she mused, only to see him return the same expression and chuckle.
