Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Appearance: Part 1 ❯ Dark Appearance ( Chapter 31 )

CHAPTER 31: DARK APPEARANCE

Grae stood on a new planet. This human body would suit him nicely. It was very powerful, but he didn't have it completely under control yet. There was still a part of him resisting, the part that tasted like the Key. It wasn't there anymore of course, but he knew it had been. The human had tried to fight him when he came to Earth and disposed of the body he came in. Oh well less for him to worry about. Now he needed to find the Box. He craved it with every fiber of his being, he needed it and he could feel it coming closer. He had learned little from this body's memory, but he had learned that the man was mated with the Box carrier. All he would have to do was pretend he hadn't been in this body and then steal her soul out of her body so he could get the Key, then he could open the Box.

Then three people landed in front of him, the woman was the Key bearer, but where was the Box? He could sense it. The tall man was his body's father, the short one was a Saiyan Prince. He had thought that all the Saiyans had been destroyed, apparently some had survived.

"Marley!" Grae called trying to sound like his body.

"Gohan! Gohan, has he come?" She yelled as she ran over to him, soaked from the rain. He suddenly felt himself attracted to her. Maybe she would have to be his queen when he controlled the universe, he would have to remember not to kill her.

"No! No I'm still waiting!" He said as she ran up and hugged him.

"Gohan, you have to leave, I wont let him get to you!"

"I'm fine, really. I can take him," Grae said. This was too easy. The woman kissed him again.

"Gohan, just go, I can take care of this. Go, please, for me." A tear fell down the woman's cheek. He would take her moment of weakness to steal the Key from her. He put his hand over her heart, but she picked it up and kissed his palm, "For me, please?"

She sniffed back another tear. Then her expression changed. She sniffed the air again and her eyebrows knitted together.

"Gohan," she said dropping his hand.

"Where is the box?" Grae asked, losing his temper a bit. If the woman figured it out, this was going to be a lot harder.

She sniffed him again and backed up a step, a cold expression on her face. "You aren't Gohan."

Grae smiled and began laughing. His expression and demeanor changed. He seamed more evil and darker, "I prefer my actual name, Grae, if you please."

The woman sneered, "You bastard!" She spit in his direction and changed her stance. She actually looked intimidating like that. He felt a little nagging in the back on his mind, it was fear, and that worried him.

Then all of a sudden the woman's ki rose. It raised and didn't stop. A golden aura surrounded her body. Her tail whipped back and forth and then wrapped itself around her slim waste.

"Get out of my mate's body you sick bastard!" She growled, her eyes narrowing.

"I can offer you an easy out you know. Become my Queen of Darkness and rule by my side. No one dies. Just tell me where the Box and Key are."

She remained quiet.

Grae grew angrier and yelled, "I can sense them near you, where are they!"

The woman smirked, "Well Grae," she began sarcastically, "I will tell you, but it won't help. You see, I've done something incredibly clever, I have found a way to hide them in my soul, so you can kill me, and still never get them. Sorry, but really they didn't go well with the new paint I put on my walls, they had to go."

One of the men standing behind her, the short one, smirked and crossed his arms. The other stood still, looking at him and the woman.

Grae grew angry again, she was mocking him. He felt his ki rise, and to his own surprise, his hair stood on end and became gold, and a golden aura surrounded his body, "You'll pay bitch!"

He charged her and caught her a bit by surprise. He knocked her to the ground, pinning her down, "I'll just have to rip them out of you then!"

Her eyes began to glow a blue color and he felt invisible hands grab is body and fling him off the woman. She growled and charged him. She caught up with him and kicked him in the back sending him into the ground. She landed on his stomach and grabbed him by the caller of his shirt and pulled his head closer to hers. "I will defeat you," she whispered. Then she punched him in the face, knocking him out.

"Marley, you need to focus. How do we save Gohan?" Goku asked.

"I don't know, I only gave us a few minutes to think," she said standing up and turning to Goku and Vegeta. This was possibly the most infuriating situation she had ever been in.

"Well we better try something soon, the boy is starting to wake," Vegeta said calmly.

Marley put her fingers on her temples and began massaging her head. She would like nothing better to send his soul to the deepest, darkest pits of hell for eternity. Then it hit her, send the soul to hell. If you looked into the Box with out the Key, your soul ripped from your body and sent to hell. All she had to do was incapacitate him long enough for her to get the Box.

"KAAAAMEEEEHAAAAMEEEEHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

Marley was hit, searing pain all over her body. The Dark Man was awake.

Marley flew into a cliff and out the other side. She hurried up and flew back at the Dark Man.

"Dragon Fist!" She yelled as she charged the evil intruder, hurling her attack as she came. It hit him square in the chest as it exploded. It caused two explosions, the second bigger than the first.

But out of the smoke charged the body of Gohan, an arrogant smile on his face. She phased out as he reached her, but he followed her every movement. They flashed though the air, throwing punches and kicks, some of which landed, some of which didn't.

As the Dark Man came up from under Marley, he grabbed her ankles and flung her in the air. As she sailed, unable to stop, he let out another Kamehameha Wave. Marley stopped herself in midair and saw the blast coming. She crossed her arms trying to defend herself from the powerful attack. She held her ground long enough for the attack to fizzle out and charged him again.

She decided it was time to turn the tables and began to transform. Past Super Saiyan levels two, three, and four to SSJ5. She smiled at the surprised look on her opponents face and decided it was time for a bit of fun.

"Oh, is poor Grae feeling a bit outclassed? I suppose I could understand that, you are fighting me. I guess I forgot to tell you. You don't mess with my mate and get away with it, you just don't. Now I think is the time to beg for your life, not that it will help any. Cause I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, your going to hell you sick soul stealing fuck!"

The Dark Man flinched visibly and Marley began her second onslaught. Her rage growing, more and more of her attacks began hitting their target. She was gaining ground and gaining in power, she couldn't remember the last time she felt so alive. She delivered a hard hit to his gut and then kicked him in the face. He went sailing up into the air. Marley saw this as the time to use a finishing attack.

She put her hands in front of her chest pointing towards her target.

"Lightning Sniper!" A large strand of yellow lightning shot at her target, zigzagging and gaining in power and momentum. It hit the body of Gohan, and as if in delayed reaction, a second passed before the attack took affect. Lightning encircled his limbs and torso, electrocuting him with powerful ki. He stopped sailing up and plummeted to the ground. With a sickening thud he hit the ground.

Marley landed beside him and smirked. "It isn't over yet you bastard, you have something I want."

Marley then began the painful procedure of removing her soul. Her arms slightly away from her body, her eyes glowing with a haunting blue light. Then a translucent blue image of Marley formed on the outside of her body, a reddish glow in the middle. Slowly part of the red form parted from her body and the Box materialized in front of her.

Her soul reabsorbed itself in her body and Marley clasped the Box in her hands. She staggered over to the body of Gohan and fell on her knees beside him.

"Grae," she said as softly as she could, "I have something you might want."

Slowly the Dark Man's eyes opened. In front of him he saw the Box, and the woman holding it.

"I've decided," she said trying to sound seductive without gagging, "to give up, what is the use?"

Grae smiled, "Come to your senses I see. Good."

"But before I give up totally," she said, rubbing the lid of the Box impatiently, "I have just one thing to say."

"And what is that?" He said, eying the Box suspiciously.

She smirked and let out a small laugh, "You lose."

The Dark Man's eyes grew wide and Marley opened the Box.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled. He was racked with pain beyond pain as his soul was torn from his body and thrown into hell forever, never to return to this plain of existence.

Marley looked at the dark light as it shot out of her mate's mouth, effectively freeing him from the Dark Man's control.

All of a sudden Marley felt very light headed. She closed the Box and collapsed on top of Gohan's unconscious body.
