----------


In the arena, both Eglantina and Akasma were eyeing each other, one with a crazed look and the other with a serious one."A-ka-SUUU-MAAAAA, HEHEHEHEHEEEEE!~" she giggled and sang creepily. "Plaaaaay...with- meeee...~ If you want to avenge your parents...play with meeeeehehehehehehehhahahahahahahaaaaaa!~" she laughed maniacally and rose her head, making her bobbed, pink hair, brush backward.


Akasma's eyes widened, her pupils shrunk in shock, and knew exactly what that meant... "You...you killed them...?" she questioned and watched as the pinky lowered her head back down with that small smile of hers.


"YEEEEES, YES YES YES YES! THEY NEVER KNEW WHO KILLED THEM EITHER, HAHAAAA! THEY'RE DEAD, THEY'RE BOTH DEEEEAD HAHAHAHAAAAA!~" she cooed loudly, jumped up and down to where her legs went up against her rear, and rose her arms. "KILL ME KILL ME IF YOU CAAAAAN, YOU CAN NEVER KILL ME BECAUSE YOUR FAILURE IS ALREADY AT HAAAAND! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!~" she laughed, cupped her own cheeks, closed her eyes, and blushed. "AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT FOR A SECOND, WHO WAS MAKING YOUR FIVE YEARS MISERABLE!!!!" her words screamed out in humor, making everyone in the area grow surprised at her insanity. "FIVE YEARS I HAVE CHASED YOOOUUU! FIVE YEARS AND YOU NEVER KNEEEEW, HAHAHAHAAAA!~ IT WAS SO FUN TO MAKE YOU MISERABLE, SO FUN TO PLAY WITH MY PREY AND SEE YOU CRY! I EVEN KILLED THAT ONE CHANGELING WHO MADE YOUR ANTIDOTE! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!~" she laughed so hard, leaned forward, and held her stomach.


Akasma was too stunned in shock to even say a word, pupils shrunk and all. "I made sure...that you never got your cure, at every planet you visited throughout your years... I was even planning on killing your friends while I was chasing you all over planet earth! You may be the strongest alternate version I have ever fought...BUT YOU ARE SO IGNORANT TO YOUR SURROUNDIIIINGS, HAHAHAHAAA!~" she laughed and laughed, even Champa was shocked!


Beerus, Whis, Vados, Bulma, Goku, Vegeta, EVERYONE was shocked to hear that...not as shocked as Akasma though... "She ruined...my five years... I...I could have been able to get my cure sooner..." she mumbled to herself, just hearing her say that nearly put her into a heart attack...


"Play with my preeey...play with my preeey, I wanted to play with my prey for as long as I could since you're the first to truly match my power! Killing your parents a year after you left, WAS WORTH THE DRAMAAAAA!~" she laughed some more and nearly fell to the floor. Even the announcer was staring in shock.


Speaking of announcer... "Ladies and Gentlemen....uuum, I failed to mention," he began as he hovered above the stage. "Lord Champa has declared that the match between Eglantina and Akasma will not have limits binding them. For the reasons, he has been confronted by the Grand Minister himself to have the two fight with their full potential and that they have to go against the rule of no weapons allowed..." he paused for a moment. "Their power consists of forming weapons out of sheer ki and use a weapon such as a bow to support their ki arrows," he gestured towards Akasma and Eglantina, who wielded crossbow guns and a bow. "They are allowed to cross the boundaries of the arena, seeing that this fight is of a special case ordered by the Grand Minister himself," he explained, looked over at Champa, and nodded.


That very chubby feline flew towards him and grabbed the mic harshly. "Sorry Beerus, the Grand Minister ordered Vados and me to make this tournament! They wanted answers from Eglantina one way or another, so this fight between them does not affect our teams at all," Champa explained, stared at his brother, and saw him with wide slits.


"WHAT?! WHY DIDN'T THEY CONFRONT US FIRST?!" Beerus exclaimed and rose from his seat, fists clenched.


"Because she's our responsibility and in our universe!" the big feline replied back in anger and gritted his teeth. "Go on and get this fight going!" his voice rose before he handed the announcer his mic back and flew back over to the seats.


Akasma was too stunned, too frozen by the news that she didn't even hear most of the explanation... Seeing Eglantina get ready to move, she heard the alarm sound off and was still too stiff to act... I'll kill her... That was all the girl said in her mind, before growing a strict and pained look in her eyes; she too prepared.


Vados looked up at where the music had played for the anthem and hummed in thought. "I supposed, in order to keep their minds off of the audience, I can allow some music to play...ones that suit their personality... Preferably Eglantina, since she's from our team..." she mumbled, waved her staff over to the side, and made music play.

(It's one of Eglantina's character themes!)


Eglantina stood up straight, formed a red ki ax, and tilted her head to one side. She shifted her feet and leaned her weight to the side her head leaned in on. "Let us plaaay, my sweet preeey.~" she cooed, blushed, squinted her eyes, and lowered her mask; her hood being off and all.


Akasma pulled her hood over her head, leaving her mask on. She got her bow out, squatted down close to the floor, and got ready. Seeing Eglantina suddenly skip like a child her way, smile and giggle, Akasma didn't even lower her guard... Suddenly, they took off, they disappeared within a blink of an eye and clashed ax to whip-sword. They flashed back and forth all over the stage, clangs, whistling winds brushing all over the area, and gasps escaping everyone's lips. Clashing, flashing across the arena they went. Akasma swatted her whip blade out, cutting up a small part of the flooring up and slicing it into bits; she did as before, jumped in the air, used whipping wind, and made herself look like a vertical spinning saw.


Eglantina laughed with shrunken pupils, did as she had before in their last fight, and spun sideways. Countless ki blades shot out at rapid speeds, coating the entire area they flew in and made the ground shake. Violet, red, pink, and green masked the coned radius and raced after Akasma.


Her saw-blade self zoomed past blades of all forms, cutting some in half, zipping past most, and deflecting a couple back. Once she made it past the coned ambush, she jumped into the air, swatted her sword out, and used whipping wind to blindingly strike at her from below. It looked like thousands of blades were striking at once, causing chunks of the ground to rise and for Eglantina to jump back to avoid it. She popped her ki wings out, as so did Akasma and they both began to repeat their clashing sequence.


White and pink streams zoomed all over the arena, with red ki bolts flying and green arrows spitting out from all kinds of directions.


"I can't even keep up!" Krillin's mouth was agape, everyone was astonished by the display...even the tall armor-coated male, who seemed to remain silent.


"Woah, so much speed!" Goku exclaimed excitedly and leaned forward. Vegeta was speechless, he could barely keep up...


The pinky rose her ax above her head, zipped down instantly, and made contact with Akasma's strong whip-sword when she rose it to block. They both stared at each other, making Eglantina grin even bigger and giggle. "You can keep up with me, yaaaay!~" she cooed, disappeared, reappeared in the sky, and took out both of her guns. She rose both her guns in front of her, charged them with red ki beads, and formed those giant red destructive orbs like before. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!~" she laughed maniacally and shot out one after another.


Akasma vanished using whistling wind, avoiding all of them by doing acrobatic moves across the arena and causing explosions to erupt in the background. Vados and Whis both had to raise shields to protect everyone and to prevent such destruction... Both Angels had serious face with a bit of shock in them.


Akasma flew up into the air at a high speed, spun in place after coming face to face with her, and took out her dagger. She moved her retracted whip-sword against the outside of her forearm and her dagger the same way in the other. She spun in place, slashed out at her only to get blocked by Eglantina's crossbow guns that she rose in defense. Much to the pinky's surprise, Akasma disappeared, reappeared behind her, and lashed at her backside. She cut her deeply, making her cry out and send her flying into the ground below.


Akasma didn't hesitate, she vanished once more, descended, rose her whip-sword, and swatted at her countless times with blinding speed. She vanished again, reappeared in the distance with her bow in hand, and aimed where the dust cloud was. Though unbeknownst to her, she was right behind her with those creepy red eyes of hers...


Slowly, Akasma looked behind her with wide eyes and saw her giggling creepily. That red ki ax immediately smacked her hard and sent her crashing into the walls around the arena, making it crumble and cause a crater to form.


Everyone stood dumbfounded, watching it all play out. "AKASUUUMAAAAAAAAA!~" Eglantina cried out. Once the dust cleared from the crater, Akasma gradually opened her eyes due to the aching pain from her head and arms tightly against the crushed wall. She widened her eyes and gasped, seeing a gigantic sphere of destructive energy formed above her opponent's head, with loud giggling echoing from her.


Upon instinct, she vanished as fast as she could with pupils shrunk in fear and felt that large sphere of ki racing after her with high speed. She flew high into space with a large burst of speed from her whistling wind and heard a planet-sized explosion occur behind her. They were both high up in space now, slashing against each other with two streams of pink and white zipping all over the place at nearly light speed. With her back turned, she lost sight of Eglantina but once she turned around, there she was about to swing a much larger version of her ki ax.


With quick reflexes, Akasma moved an inch away by turning her body and avoiding the downward swing. She rose her dagger, flashed past her, and cut her side pretty deep drawing blood. "AAH!" she screamed out, fell to the ground, and held her wound.


Akasma watched from above, pure killing intent written on her face mixed with a strict look. She rose her bow, quickly pulled an arrow back, and shot a green one out. As soon as it was released, she appeared a good distance onto the arena from Eglantina and jumped, leaned her body back then did the spits. She slid after Eglantina and leaned her upper body down...seeing that her foe stood giggling and flew into the air... That previous green arrow had missed...


Eglantina, without seeing her in time, got shot in the stomach with another green arrow and saw her slide right past her from beneath. The pinky fell to the ground in paralysis, the girl kicked one foot out to make herself swiftly spin horizontally and tossed out a blue kunai, freezing her in place. She landed on all fours, slid around like on ice until she faced Eglantina, and had her bow being held behind her back.


She watched intently, her turquoise iris not once leaving the pinky's frozen form. Though something shocked her, that was when the ice began to crack and break into pieces; she was moving again! What?! That's impossible! No one should be able to move! she mentally panicked, widened her eyes and rose her head a tiny bit from her leaned-over posture. (End of song! :DD)


As she rose to her feet and giggled, she turned to face the pallid Aeronan and had those creepy, shrunken pupils with a small open smile plastered. "Let's go even higher...~" she cooed in a dark, demented whisper that was audible enough for everyone to hear. She rose her arms up above her head and did like before. One foot behind the other, fingers intertwined above her head, palms facing upward, and head viewing the stars above. She gracefully moved her hands down in a swift manner, pushed her chest out a bit, made her head jerk up more towards outer space and made a black sphere appear around her form.



Akasma knew what was coming, so she waited and waited until the transformation was done. If I can get her to grow exhausted, then I will be the victor in this fight... she mentally planned and kept her eyes glued to the pinky. Dark colors swiveled around the black sphere of dark rainbow colors, mixing in and soon showing Eglantina standing there with changed features. Shrunken pupils now hold swirls of moving dark colors, her ki wings black with the dark hues of an Aurora Borealis, her hair so dark red it appeared almost black, and some hair strands of many different dark colors mixed in with her dark red hair.

(THE FINAL EGLANTINA, SONG!)

https://youtu.be/X11jNL0c5kc


"Don't hold back noooooow.~ Heheheheheee~" She giggled, tilted her head, smiled tiny and pupils remained small. From Akasma's distant view, all she could see was black eyes...and darkness... Dark...elements... As it zoomed out slowly, all you could hear were creepy giggling fading and echoing... Once the song picked up, she vanished from sight and Akasma kept her senses sharp.


She did not move an inch, she could feel Eglantina zip all around her laughing like a maniac. Without noticing, Eglantina had hit her at the back of her head and sent her crashing again, into the wall nearby. Akasma broke her crash though, by flipping and landing on her feet against it. She recoiled, flew after her with the highest speed she could muster, and formed countless kunai. They were all tossed across the arena, hitting Eglantina just barely and sticking them into the ground.


White and dark colors, mixed with black streams were flying all over the arena and only a few people in the audience could keep up with either of their speeds... Planet sized explosions occurred, ice coating the ground, electricity shocking the ice and everything around them, fire igniting in some spots from their fire ki beads, water dampening objects, and making the electricity that much more intense.


Akasma rose her bow as she descended to the ground, aimed it up towards Eglantina who was flying after her and laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!~" she laughed so hard, her eyes looked so black from how small her pupils had shrunk... She evaded all of the ki arrow shots Akasma had sent and rose two giant ki axes in both hands. The blade parts were slammed down upon the ground, noticing that Akasma had escaped in time and made the entire arena turn to rubble.


Chunks flew into the air, giving Akasma the chance to act and maneuver about. She flew behind wall-sized chunks, aimed her bow around the edge, and shot an electric arrow. "SILLY AKSMAAAA!~" she heard her coo only to surprise her and appear in her face. She shot the arrow but missed, then disappeared before Eglantina could cut her up.


She appeared in the sky, upside down, and spun in place like before. She performed her starburst skill, spinning in place upside down so blindingly that her body couldn't be seen. Yellow, blue and green shot out tremendously and shined like a bright star from afar. Though when millions of ki bolts raced after her in a wide stream, she halted as fast as she could and deflected those bolts with her dagger.


Akasma descended and Eglantina ascended, soon they both passed each other up but Akasma had different plans...than attacking straight on... She evaded the in-coming slice from the pinky's ax, landed on the ground, and stared up at her. Her bow rose quickly, nodded, and formed her most deadly attack until...she got thwacked in the head with Eglantina's ki ax again... Blood spilled across the ruffled up arena floor and she screamed...


(Song ends here! :D!) "AAAAH!" the pallid Aeronan cried out and landed on her stomach with a bleeding scalp. Eglantina hovered over slowly to Akasma with maniacal laughter and put one foot on her head, causing her target to scream even more... She cried out so loud that it scared Whis and made him nearly want to step in. Tears fell down her cheeks as her face was barely able to lift from the ground.


"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA~ YOU ARE SO FUUUN, MAYBE I SHOULD TORTURE YOU BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Eglantina cooed, held one gun in one hand and an ax in the other. She moved her gun back in its slot, held the ax with both hands, and began to pound the back of Akasma's neck hard. Not hard enough to kill her, but enough to make her feel pain. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, SCREAM, IT IS SO PRETTY!" she cooed once more, a bit of blood splashing her face. "PLAY, PLAY, PLAY WITH MY PREY! PLAY WITH MY PREY, ALL DAAAAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" the pinky sang as she thrust the end of her ax repeatedly. Just before she went to hit her neck again, anger built up in Akasma and gave her strength to knock her off.


With great ki power, a burst of energy spiked from her form and kicked her off. She turned around to face her enemy, held her neck from agony, and eyed her. "I WILL NOT FAIL!" she screamed out confidently and did as Eglantina had.

(It's her trans theme!)

She rose her arms above her head and did that very same ballet move as before. Suddenly, bright white light engulfed the entire remaining arena and light-colored rainbow streams surrounded the sphere. Swirling hues of rainbow appeared within the light, making everyone gasp except for Whis and Beerus. No one has ever seen such pure light before, such purity...


It now showed her with long, pure white, glowing hair that went down past her back a bit and longer bags that covered her one eye. Rainbow ki wings that glistened just as brightly as her aura and her eyes held the same swirling, bright rainbow hue. Hair strands of many glossing colors were mixed in with her pure white and glowing hair. "I will not...let you... KILL ANY MORE PEOPLE!" she cried out, her aura glowing as bright and making everyone feel like they're seeing an Angel of some sort.



She rose her bow, Eglantina was actually astonished and a bit scared... Multiple ki beads of bright colors fazed into a single arrow and made it glow a rainbow hue. She disappeared, appeared high above the arena, aimed it at Eglantina, and saw her grinning madly.


Eglantina flew after her, doing the same by forming multiple ki beads of dark colors in both of her crossbow guns. Black and dark colors mixing in, compared to bright White and light colors blending in with it, looked like some sort of darkness versus light theme... Pure darkness engulfed Eglantina, as maniacal laughter echoed through the atmosphere and raced after the light like a moth to a flame. She formed a planet-sized black sphere that had dark hues of a rainbow mixed in and Akasma did the same.


Shigiyuki decided to use her most powerful skill this time, without any interruptions. "This time... I will not miss..." she spoke to herself vocally and pulled the string back even more. She formed that destructive rainbow arrow of hers and it glowed far brighter than before, she looked like an Angel with many colors wrapping around her body because of how many different ki beads she was fazing out of her vessel.


Everyone in their seats was anticipated, they wanted to see who'd win...


Finally...she released once Eglantina got close enough and so had her opponent. (Chorus moment, close to the end of the song!) The entire tournament lit up, light and darkness clashing like some explosion and masked far more than just the nameless planet itself. Whis had to put up another barrier in a hurry to protect the planet and the stage, with Vados joining him. The destruction of the attacks kept growing bigger and bigger, taking up meteorites a bit away from the planet, meteors, and other debris. (Song slowly dying in the end!) As the light faded, it showed Eglantina laying flat on her stomach, back in her original pink form... (Song ends here! : D)


Akasma was hit pretty hard but she had the strength to remain flying. She flew down to the...what remained of the arena...and stood before the panting Eglantina. She had anger in her eyes, a strict look and no one could see the gritted teeth behind her white mask. She lifted her bow, panted quite a bit, and pulled an arrow back...until she froze. She saw Eglantina slowly lift her head with a sad but crazy look on her face.


"Do it, kill me, kill me haha...~" she laughed lowly and coughed up blood with faint giggles escaping her lips afterward. Her red irises bore into Akasma's furious ones and heard nothing but silence... "Why won't you kill me?!" she yelled out in anger only to cough again.


"Answer...all the questions...we want to hear, NOW," Akasma demanded strongly in her soft and confident voice, not once moving her arrow from her point-blank angle.


All was silent, even Whis and Vados appeared above them both and stared dangerously at her. "Heh...heheheheh...heh..." the pinky tried to giggle but to no avail, she just sat up on her legs with the best of her ability and had her feet under her rear. Her legs were a bit away from each other, she tried to ease the pain. "W-What answeeers...heh...?" she asked with her body barely staying up in her position.


"The answers we wanted from you so many times before, that you would never give us! You would always say, business!" Akasma exclaimed, fazed more ki beads into her arrow, and gripped tighter.


"Y- You...win..." Eglantina replied, leaned her head down and chuckled lightly. "Haven't...you ever wanted...to be special...?" that question made Akasma blink but not once was she fazed by it. "To be loved, to be wanted and cared for...? To be needed...? Heheheh..." she chuckled again in a low tone, rose her head and smiled her tiny grin. "I have grown up all alone, haven't you? Being pushed aside, no attention from your parents, no one who cared or loved you...haven't you felt this way too?" she asked, still...no response...


"I...always...hated my parents...everyone... No one loved me...no one wanted, needed, or cared for me... I grew up all alone..." she began and lowered her head again as tears began to tap against the floor, she didn't want them to see her cry. "When I heard...that my parents had died in an accident, I became so dead...at heart... I had nothing, no one...weren't you...the same...?" she asked once more.


"I fled my planet...trained myself to become stronger and ran into Vados, who explained Champa was the universe's current destroyer god... I wanted to be trained so bad...to make myself forget the past and move on...so they let me. They said...I would be a worthy pupil...and I felt so happy for the first time in my years... I felt...wanted..." she continued and still, nothing but silence...


"They have trained me for years...until they told me...about alternate versions of people, that reside in other universes... I...grew so angry...so angry..." she added in her mournful voice before a long pause issued. "I fled lord Champa's planet after I grew strong enough and went to go kill them... Why...should my alternate versions, exist...? I wanted to be the only one alive... The...only one of me... I didn't want anyone...taking away the only thing I had left...my dignity and face... Special...that's all I want...is to feel special...needed....wanted...cared about...loved and more, like every other person...but... I never got that..." she answered, rose her head, and exposed those tears running down her face. Still, that didn't even faze Akasma... "Didn't you ever feel the same...?" she asked one more time with little to no insanity lacing her voice.


Akasma just eyed her harshly with contemplation in her eyes. "I...have many times, but I never stopped giving up...climbing...in my life... I loved my parents, they loved me back...but they were never home enough to spend time with me... I have been bullied in school before, but everyone goes through that..." she replied in a low, serious, and soft voice.


Eglantina's eyes grew angry. "Then why...? Why? Why should you be alive then?!" she screamed her question then suddenly formed a purple ki knife and struck Akasma's head... In side-view, it looked like she had pierced right through, the blade's tip on the other side of her skull and Akasma having shocked eyes. She began to cry more now, tears streamed down her face more and her eyes squinted. Her pupils were returned to their normal roundness then she let her arm fall along with her body. "Why....?!" yelled the pinky as she lowered her head. Her shoulders shook from the hicks escaping her lips and heavy tears fell.


Akasma was silent again for a good minute until she lowered her bow, placed it back on her backside, and kneeled down. She did something that most, if not all people in their right minds would probably never do... She hugged her with closed eyes, something...the pinky has never felt before or received... "Don't give up...if you're like me, then you won't... Don't give in to the darkness, fight it... There are people who are willing to care about you and would want you near...you just have to find the rights ones that are willing to accept you," her soft, comforting voice met her ears and hugged her tighter into her hold, tucking Eglantina's head into her shoulder. "I...will be your first friend...if you will let me..." she offered, making more silence engulf the area and cause everyone to grow shocked at her words.


Soon, the entire arena was filled with heavy cries. Eglantina gripped onto Akasma with both arms around her torso and cried so hard that it broke many people's hearts; at least...those that were affected by that kind of thing...(like me... T_T ) "I...forgive you..." That was all Akasma said... Tears kept drenching Shigiyuki's shoulder as the pinky's head nodded and snuggled into her neck for comfort. She cried...and cried...and cried...not once letting up.


Vados and Whis were both in awe at the explanation and the sight before their eyes. She really is an Angel at heart! They both mentally gasped in unison and couldn't even break their gazes from the two. Beerus from the sidelines was smiling at Akasma, seeing that she made the right choice. Goku was smiling at her decision and nodded, while Vegeta just smirked with his arms folded. Bulma was to tears right now, so moved at the sight. Piccolo remained in his seat with arms crossed, thinking I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna cry... I'm not going to, no! He refused to...heh.


"And...that concludes...the fight...between Eglantina...and Akasma..." the announcer stated between sniffles and wiped his nose with some sort of cloth. "It's a tie, please stand over to your designated areas and let other fighters take their turn..." he mumbled until Akasma looked over and dismissed her transformation.


"Please...can she...sit with me?" she asked with her eyes going from serious, to innocent.


"Of course, Akasma," Whis accepted without any regret and Vados also agreed. Champa had accepted it and gestured for the announcer to move on to the next contestants.


Akasma assisted Eglantina by helping her soar over to her team's side, trying to help her get up on her feet. Even she had a hard time flying because of the beating she received... The only thing that she heard besides her constant cries and hicks, was a mumbled thank you. She smiled behind that mask of hers and shut her eyes, giggling; she felt like...she just saved someone, from themselves...
