In Darkness there is Light and in Light there is Darkness
Chapter 3
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Ugh my head why does everything hurt so damn much, and were am I,” Sun asked but got no answer back. He then slowly looked up to see he was in what looked to be a hospital bed as she realised he was hooked up to a heart rate monitor. “Well at least I am not in that hell again,” Sun said annoyed with the pain in his back so he pops all of his body and laid back down for not knowing the side effects from that escaped pod thing and wait for a doctor to come and check Up on him.
“I see you’re finally awake,” a familiar voice responded as he turned to see Kai standing beside him in he was wear what looked to a simple orange t-shirt below a loosely fitting black jacket that completely covered his arms allowing people to see his charred black left hand. He wore black tracksuit bottoms that looked to have red and orange flames near the bottoms that traveled up the majority of his legs.
“Nope still in hell because I still don’t know if your butt is better than mine, so I must be sleeping and nice change of clothes there,” Sun said close his going back to sleep.
“Nope, the boss told me to get you once you were up, he said he wanted to talk with you.”
“Why should I care about ‘your boss’ and what does she/he wants?” Sun asked while cracking an eye open.
“Because he’s the one person who can both help you think straight again and if that doesn’t take your fancy give you powers for the possibility to get revenge on Demigra.”
“You know this is how I used to think before Demigra happened so I will just take that power thank you,” Sun said while getting out of bed and taking off all the wires on him.
“Okay, just don’t throw up on me again?” Kai responded.
“This is the first time I got up so how did I throw up on you?” Sun asked in confusion.
“Right after the carriage was teleported here you threw up over my suit, it’s currently having to be cleaned or I have to order a new one, took me ages to get the smell off of me.”
“Well sorry if I don’t take teleporting well for my first time and you are not the first person too tell me that and I still don’t know what’s so bad about it,” replied Sun emotionlessly as he got out of bed in nothing but boxers and the million dollar question “where are my clothes and where did all my scars go” sun replied while checking himself over and found all of his scars were gone except the scars he had received from Demigra.
“Well being that my boss came and visited you while you were unconscious he took a look over you for any injuries you had received, he saw every scar and removed them but whatever happened to your face just wouldn’t disappear whatever he used to make it isn’t normal.”
“Where… are… my… clothes and that’s does not shock me and I can live with them and next time ask if it’s okay because not all of these are from him they were before him,” Sun said annoyed and emotionless. “Did he check out the goods and does he have a better ass than me” ask with a rise eyebrow
“I am wishing he didn’t wait to get permission before trying to cure whatever was wrong with your head.”
“And like I said there is nothing wrong with my head well except for not feeling emotional seen I was born but that’s not really new now is it?” Sun replied really annoyed with how much of his privates is all but gone now.
“As for your clothes they were damaged beyond repair and were in all honestly unwearable, we’ve got some of the best seamstresses making you some more, but in the meantime I was asked to give you this,” Kai responded as he threw Sun what looked to be the costume he had for the con he was supposed to attend.
Sun just put them on and asked “and why this costume? Is it some joke that I look like him let’s dress him up as him kind of joke.”
“Frankly I couldn’t answer that, I don’t know where they got it, but he said you should have it.”
“If course you can’t tell me why would you,” Sun said getting more annoyed by the second.
“I can’t tell you what I don’t know. Get dressed I’ll wait for you in near the entrance,” Kai replied as he walked out the room closing the door behind him.
“Hmmm you do that I will be out in a second,” Sun said as Kai left and he got dressed with the taking what Kai said being he’d been discharged.
-5 minutes later-
“There everything’s on,” he said while exiting the room to meet Kai and they were off to see the boss he had mentioned.
“Heads up when you meet the boss, be warned he’s the idiot who brought the guy who became Demigra to the multiverse. Kicks himself for it aswell.”
“Oh good then he knows hjs ins and outs but why does he kicks himself for the actions of others he had no idea how he would become?”
“Well Demigra was his first Displaced, who he says knocked him out mid Displacement and gave him amnesia till his son was almost taken.”
“And you are telling me this why?”
“Because when he tries to apologise for what happened to you, he’ll say it was his fault, I don’t want you taking up his time when I can explain now.”
“Okay I will keep that in mind when I am talking to...what’s is his name?” Sun asked Kai just now how he never asked.
The guys name is Andrew he’s a Displacer, one of the people commonly referred to as Merchants.”
“Never mind I am going to kill him if it is the guy I am thinking of,” Sun said offhandedly
“What guy, what do you think he’s done?”
“If it is the guy I am thinking of then this is how it will down “hi boy want *I go yes please * ok well choice one of those *I choice something* ok have fun in fucking pony land” that’s the guy I think of from the comic con place.” Sun replied while anger in his voice but not on his face.
“I can assure you he is not the guy your thinking of. They are two separate entities.”
“Do you remember what I said on the I will follow it if I end up on a pony world.” Sun said to Kai looking dead at him and said “the skull fucking will come and I will know who has a better ass.” sun finished then asked “do you have a girlfriend?”
But they got to the boss door before more words could be said.
“Once we get inside, do something for me. Don’t be a dick.”
“No promise but I will try,” Sun replied as Kai reached forwards and opened the door.
Once they opened the door they both looked inside to see a large open room with a large rectangular table in the centre of with dark chairs. The walls looked like metal with the same color as the chairs “well he likes a theme” sun through and then they saw the man and he looks like just a normal human man, he had jet black hair and brown eyes, the rest of his body was barely visible under a blue cloak that rested on the bottom of his chair. “I am not shocked no more but more importantly I have a very important question and I am breaking that promise” sun through and said “hey you the big boss?” Sun ask “ if so I got a bone to pick with you,” Sun said darkly
“If this is about Demigra, I am deeply sorry for-”
“No I don’t give a shit about that did you take my maid heart”
“What the heck is your maid heart?”
“Did you see me naked?”
“Oh right,” Andrew replied with a roll of his eyes. “Is that really what’s bothering you?”
“*Gasp* how could you do such a thing now I will never get married,” Sun said with a hand on his forehead “no I don’t care really I just want one thing from you and that’s power to kill Demigra and my sister faker,” Sun requested as he went back to his emotionless face again while saying this.
“No,” Andrew simply replied.
“Then we have nothing to talk about bye,” Sun said as he turned and walked towards the door he had entered from.
“Let me finish before you jump to conclusions. If you want powers for that reason alone and from how your acting I will not give you them being you seem set to go on a suicide mission, nor will I simply allow you to go and murder a innocent without valid proof that they are indeed deserving of death.”
“*huff* fine I will wait for my sister but if you are not going to give me that I will find someone who will,” Sun said simply “and best at judge of character if that’s the reason why,” Sun added.
“You are referring to the young girl he calls his daughter correct?”
“That’s my sister and he won’t stop coming for me for that reason and I don’t think you lot can stop him for long,” sun replied more annoyed.
“You are mistaken, Demigra can never enter this realm. It is safeguarded against anything he tries, and has tried many times to reach me.”
“That’s what he said about you so don’t make me laugh nothing is perfect it will fail it’s just a matter of time” sun replied “and if I am immortal then I will push human limits or just do suicide just to spite you for trying to stop me put some more blood on those hands on yours,” Sun said while keeping an eye on both of Kai and Andrew ready for a fight.
Andrew then looked to Kai before sighing as he said, “can you, make him stop?”
Kai looked at Andrew sadly before he said, “I can but you owe me a free celular restructure on my arm after and some new clothes.”
“Done.”
“Okay then, Sorry Sun this is for your own good,” Kai responded as flames formed around Sun’s head.
Sun Jump the opposite of the room and being to sweat and said “I was wrong you two are worse than Demigra, no wonder you made him you are just like him!” Sun shouted.
It was then Andrew appeared behind Sun tapping him on the back of his head as his vision went hazy and he began to lose his balance and wobble around almost like he was drunk.
Sun tried to throw a punch and missed and said “yep just like him bet you are so proud,” before he lost control and blacked out.
“Kai, stop using your powers!” Andrew shouted back as the flames disappeared and Kai dropped to the ground holding his right arm in pain the skin burnt extremely badly before Andrew quickly placed his hand over it as it healed back over as it returned to normal.
“So… what are we going to do?”
“Well he’ll be out for a week, during that time. I’ll correct as much of the mental damage as I can and edit any memories that could force him to regress along with try and deal with the annoying weird side of his personality, all in all I’ll try to make it so he can live without being slapped or needing to be controlled, to keep his more dangerous plans out of mind and prevent him from going on that damn suicide mission.”
“You sure it’s for the best, I mean he didn’t exactly agree to it.”
“I’ll take full responsibility for whatever happens, I’ll take him back to the hospital after the treatment, you get some rest okay?”
“Okay, just tell me when he wakes back up okay?”
“You don’t need to worry about that, whenever he wakes up you’ll be one of the first people to know,” Andrew replied as Kai left the room as he looked at Sun’s unconscious form. “Now lets see just how far you’ve regressed since the first fire?”
Pov Cathy
Four days had passed since the events of the breakout and Cathy was standing in the room where they had kept Gotenks lookalike in the VR machine watching as tears ran down his eyes as she heard him say, “please, I… I submit Mistress… No more… just please no more.”
“So what are you going to do when I let you go huh?” Cathy asked the kid.
“Whatever you wish mistress, just please… no more, I’ll be a good boy, a nice pet! Whatever you wish, just let me free of this pain!”
“Ohh and so close to my brothers time of 8 days and 12 hours oh well, okay but you have to do something for me… I need you to protect me and my brother when we get him back. Okay,” requested Cathy.
“Anything mistress just no more pain.”
“That’s not what I asked for now was it. I might just force you to beat my brother.”
“No! Please Mistress! No more! I’ll be your bodyguard as you wish just please let us out!”
“That’s still not all I ask for.” Cathy come close and whispered in his ear “I said I need you to protect me and my brother when we get him back.”
Tears were now streaming from the boys eyes as he said, “I… I swear to protect both you and your brother, till the day I die, I belong to you and you alone Mistress.”
“Good boy” she said while letting him out of the machine as he drop on the floor panting like a dog and Cathy just treated him like he was acting and patted him on the head like a dog.
“Th… thank you mistress,” the boy responded through his tears.
“Hey now. Let’s clean those tears” Cathy said while wiping away the tears and when she finish she had idea, “Let’s give you a new name for your new life let’s see… how about...Griffin, in welsh it means strong in faith like you have for me?”
“I… I… Like it mistress,” the boy now known as Griffin responded shakily.
“Good from now on you will know as Griffin.” Cathy replied happily grinning at Griffin
“Okay Mistress,” Griffin replied with no hesitation, “what are you first orders for me Mistress?”
“Well now I’m done with you, I need someone new. Maybe I could ask Dad for something or someone new. Let’s go find him!” Cathy suggested beaming with joy.
“Of course Misstress Cathy, any idea where he shall be at this time?”
“He is possible down the hall doing the same thing as me but with someone else.”
“Well, shall we find him for you mistress, we don’t want to keep him waiting or your next slave either?”
“Okay let’s go to him then.”
“Okay mistress, lets go,” Griffin responded as they left the room they were in.
Both of them then travelled down the hall in an attempt to find Demigra as Griffin asked, “Mistress do you have any idea who he’s working on at the moment?”
“There’s is that one guy he works with he looks like the hero killer from my Hero school, why do you ask?”
“Well depending on who it is, wouldn’t different methods of breaking them be more effective then other types, wouldn’t that help narrow down where he could be?”
“Not really we use the person’s greatest fear against them and you didn’t because me and daddy were confirming that the machine didn’t make my brother insane. Must of been the grief from losing me.”
“I guess that makes sense Mistress,” Griffon replied nervously thinking back to his fear that he had to live through.
“Yeah I guess. Anyway what’s got you so chatty?” Cathy asked with a smirk.
“I… Uh… It’s nothing that should worry you mistress.”
“Your a bad liar.”
“What troubles me now is of no concern to you Mistress, the life I had no longer matters and she’ll just have to survive without me. I belong to you and my only goal in life now is to keep you safe and happy.”
“Your troubles are a concern and we need to fix them. So tell me what troubles you?”
“Mistress, you shouldn’t need to deal with my problems… I simply miss my little sister, she expected me to return after the attack and be with her, and I can’t return to her as I have bigger priorities to attend to now.”
“We can let her joined us when we go for my brother.”
“No! Don’t hurt her! SHE… she wasn’t with them, nor will she be, we had our own world, before he took me and forced me here… I just want to go home,” Griffin responded crying again as his memories returned.
Cathy raised an eyebrow and said “we don’t torture all of the prisoners I am a prime example I was nothing but then dad found me and I have lived happily we only torture the ones who fight back like you did.”
“B… but I didn’t I just wanted to go home, I hoped to find a way off to get to him and you tortured me anyway, took me away from her forever.”
“You tried to shoot at me with a kai blast,” Cathy deadpanned at him.
“D..Did I Mistress, I don’t remember doing that, I’d never harm you.”
“Huh? My brother had the same problem I have to tell daddy about that,” she said offhandedly.
“Okay mistress, let find him,” Griffin responded his head still lowered eyes brimming with tears.
As he said this she heard Demigra talking to someone in a nearby room as she turned to corner to see Demigra talking to a strange man who had a red scarf around his neck with a white mask over his eyes. He hand bandages running up both his arms and was covered in a black suit apart from a sword on his back and multiple knives under his arms and on his shoulder.
“Hey daddy, hey hero killer what are you two up to?” Cathy said to the two men.
“He just returned from a mission and sadly hasn’t got any new information for us, he said he managed to reach the place where you brother should have been but he couldn’t find him. We believe he looked in the wrong place and will be heading out to look again soon. Anyway is something a matter, did you need me for something?”
“Yeah I have finished with this one and the machine doesn’t cause insanity, but does mess with their memories that they try to represent and the machine miscarry the past from present so Sun may have very well seen someone try to kill me but because of the machine he thinks you did it.”
“I see and what are you going to do with him, he is your first after all, does he have a name?”
“His name is Griffin and I don’t know just have him as a bodyguard for now you can never be to careful.”
“So he’s your bodyguard… I’m afraid he simply is too weak for me to allow him to defend you alone, I can barely sense a power level for him at all, it’s so low he might aswell be Yamcha.”
“I’m sorry to have failed you master, if you have any method for me to reach a level of power that will satisfy you, I will gladly do so to allow me to serve my mistress,” Griffon responded.
“I see you have him well trained at least it’s a start at least. I will put you through a rigorous training course it should improve your skills somewhat I suppose.”
“Can I train too so I can get better with my powers.” ask Cathy
“If you wish who am I to stop you, anyway, is there anything else you needed me for?”
“No I don’t but what about hero killer you want help me train me and Griffin.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I have to refuse, I have to get back on the hunt for some more useful slaves for your father, my powers make capturing those who have more power easier.”
“Awww okay. I understand. Till next your free then.”
“We shall see, Lady Cathy, Lord Demigra,” Stain responded as he bowed to them both before leaving the room.
“So Cathy has your new slave had any teething problems after you released him?”
“Nothing of note expect for his little sisterly love thing so I told him we can bring her back with us if we see her.”
Demigra looked lost in thought before he said, “Griffin, come here.”
Griffin then looked to Cathy nervously and still scared of Demigra after what he did to his arm, he couldn’t remember why he had done it, but he still remembered the pain from it.
“Go on he won’t kill after my hard work, so go on.” Cathy replied with confidence and reassure to Griffin.
Griffin then slowly walked to stand in front of Demira shaking in fear as he did, “w...what do you need master?”
Demigra at first didn’t respond before he asked him, “did you create anything to tie you to your world before you were brought here?”
“No… wait, maybe.” Griffin replied as he reached into his pocket producing what looked to be a piece of cloth with a strange symbol on it which he passed to Demigra hesitantly.
As soon as Demigra touched the cloth he smiled before he said to Cathy, “you said he told you had a little sister before being taken here correct?”
“Yep! That’s right! But I did say that if he doesn’t fight back we don’t touched him.”
“You clearly don’t know the way Dragonball Displaced work do you, they don’t stand down, and if any of them are Saiyans they will most likely try and fight. Did he say who his sister became?”
“No I didn’t ask at the time I was looking for you, and I only said that for a peace of mind,” Cathy said.
“My Sister, I think she became a fusion like me, my memories hazy though, it was Bul… something I can’t remember the last bit,” Griffin responded.
“Oh I know this my brother said ‘I love to use my big bang attack on her.’ it’s the one between Bulla and Pan and name was...Bul...pan…Bulpan yeah that’s was it.” Cathy said
“Bulpan… why the hell would she choose to keep a bazare name like that?” Demigra asked.
“She said she prefered the name than her old one, I thought it was a silly name but she wouldn’t listen.”
“What’s was her old name then?” Cathy asked curiously
“I think she used to be named, Betty… Now I remember why she changed it.”
“Probably for the best, with a name for a cow.” Cathy said.
“Please don’t remind me… god our parents were jerks.”
“Wait what was your name before.”
“Mine wasn’t bad at all, my dad was sexist, just kept calling her for simply being a woman.”
“Then he will be praying for all the gods too not meet me then. Sexist pig.” Cathy said darkly
“Anyway, I believe we could go to your old world and retrieve your sister, but considering the fact we don’t know her currently allegiance I can’t be sure how she’ll react, when we appear.”
“Hey daddy do you have that ability call dark seed from the game?” Cathy asked Demigra.
“You mean the Black Ki used to harvest energy from other? I think so.”
“Yeah can it still control people and stay doment?”
“I don’t doubt that, but I’ll need Towa’s assistance to do it effectively, we can organise a team to finish this without causing to much interference or risk harming Griffons sister.”
“Well why don’t we go back in time to Griffin’s sister and plant a dark seed and then have it bloom now to find and rescue my brother? Or is that not possible.” Cathy asked her dad.
“We are unable to go back, if Griffon see’s any of us in the past, it would cause a paradox, and as much as Towa loves them, it could alter the entire events that unfolded a few days ago at risk along with his life itself.”
“Can Towa not shoot it at her like she did in the cell games with Gohan?”
“Hmm, the idea is plausible, but if we do it that way we would be unable to recover him and would mean returning at a later date, besides she has managed to find a way to make the Ki work faster than ever before. She would be altered and unaware and if you wish and your Griffon agrees he could get her closer to your brother, thats if they are not yet aware of his capture.”
“It’s worth the try. What you say Griffin will you let’s do this?” Cathy asked Griffin.
“If it benefits you my Mistress, I will do anything… bit I fear I am not strong enough to help,” Griffon responded sadly at letting Cathy down.
“Let me help with that,” Demigra responded a white light shone from his hand as Griffons eyes widened before he began to look suddenly exhausted.
“Master what did you just do? I feel strange?”
“You wished to be stronger to help us and it would benefit Cathy so I unlocked your potential further, also improved your knowledge on your powers and gave you a few new moves to boot.”
“Can I have that so I can have a Mega evolve form with my Darkrai form.” Cathy asked Demigra curiously.
“You sure that’s all you want? I can try and do something with it, sure you don’t want someone of your own while I’m, at it?” Demigra added both with a smile and a chuckle.
“Me and my brother are the same as the Saiyans we like to get them without help expect when we need.”
“Hmm let me see what I can do,” Demigra responded as he pulled out a small stone that looked to have the Symbol for DNA on it. The stone itself looked black the light inside shifting in a red light.
Demigra then passed the gemstone to Cathy before he said, “will this be sufficient for your needs?”
“Ohh I feel great! How do I go Mega?” Cathy asked unsure of what to do.
“I cannot answer that, only you can find that out, maybe you should just focus and see what happens,” Demigra admitted as another flash of energy struck Griffon as he turned looking to Cathy obediently waiting to see what she would do.
“Well you feel stronger at least.” Cathy said trueful to Griffin before adding, “let’s see if I can go Mega.”
Cathy then closed her eyes and blocked out all of the sound around her. She then looked inside herself and all she saw was darkness all round then saw something bright drifting in front of her and want towards it and somehow seemed to feel her power become stronger and she open her eyes to see her new form.
“Yes I did it, this feels great and powerful. So now what?” Cathy asked.
“Right now you two need to get some rest, or you can practice with you new powers, it’s up to you but make sure your rested for tomorrow, you’ll need to be wide awake and ready first thing.”
“Okay daddy me and Griffin will go bed, come on I will shows you my room,” Cathy said.
Griffon then shakily got to his feet before bowing his head to Demigra before slowly walking towards Cathy almost seeming dazed, “Oh and Cathy, make sure not to stay in your Mega form when its not needed, it will really drain your stamina the longer you stay in it.”
“Okay daddy.,” she said while turning back to base form and started to walk down the hallway with Griffin shakily following her.
