The Kakarot Multiforms were all kicking about in various ways across the globe and getting their butts kicked in different places of the Other World. The push for improvement and survival inside kept the multiforms stable.
The Kakarot V that used a human fighting style was currently challenging various Dojos. So far, he remained undefeated due to his high power level; even increasing the weighted clothing didn't help much.
"You are just not strong enough sis." An older girl said to what appeared to be her sibling. It wasn't polite the way she did it, but by the looks of the parents not to far away, it was all ok by their book. "You need to stop playing and train more."
They were just children... like maybe 4 or 5 by the looks of it.
"You are only stronger because you are older!" The little girl shouted fiercely. The bun do of her hair coming undone completely. But her siblings only smirked at her. "I will you both one day! Just you wait!"
*Dash!* With the precision and speed only children can do when emotions run wild, she shot off through crowds of people with ease. Whether by luck or skill, the child didn't hit a single person.
The parents and the other two siblings turned away to head into Orin Temple. It was odd as Kakarot's Ki Sense had her as the stronger by a good margin. Just was shorter and still behind growing overall.
The Magic Absorbtion Bracelets took in a wave of negative energy. A good bit of it was coming from the surroundings of the temple and the "monks" that were coming and going. Since he was already here to fight its people, he took it upon himself to solve the issue.
'That child didn't go far, and the city is safe enough. Just this temple is a problem.' Rubbing his chin in thought, it was a few minutes before he came to a final decision after confirming with the Prime Kakarot. 'Well, time to figure out what is causing this.'
Entering the temple outer area was an eye-opener. Not only was the place supringsly packed with martial artists, but it also concealed a Subsidiary Dimension. Stepping across the threshold made the Magic that hid the place mute to his detection.
*Schup!* A little ball kid appeared in front of Kakarot. It was none other than the former Monk Krillin himself. But his gi had the markings of the turtle hermit style on it. The scouter detected the power level and was quite the surprised.
Krillin: Potential Unlocked
Spirit: 321
Ki: 438
Magic: 67
A slight 1/3 the power level of natural Radditz. Not much weaker than King Piccolo in his Prime youth state.
"What did you come here for?"
"To spar against the people here, of course. Training for the tournament, in case you haven't guessed already." The amount of absorption continued to take in negative energy. Something about this place was really odd. "Am I not allowed to enter?"
"No, currently not taking visitors at this time. Only disciples and those who are training to be disciples may come in." Realizing what he said, the vertically challenged boy corrected quickly. "Not accepting fresh disciples either."
The Multiform nodded and turned away without a fuss. He could still take the energy by just being nearby. A little investigation never hurt at all. It would be best not to become rusty in his skills from Earth.
Krillin watched until he was gone far away before going further inside. A determined look on his face that begged the question further what was going on.
.
Sometime Later that day-
.
After spending the better part of the day asking questions and paying a few people off, the situation painted an ugly picture. The people in Orin Temple were acting strange. The fact Krillin was nearby should have meant they were at least a part of Chichi's group.
Right?
'It's a problem with the area as a whole.' Kakarot V found out information that pointed towards Namekians being around. But that just wouldn't make any sense at all. 'I should get help to come down and check everything out just in case.'
As he made a call on his scouter, he felt a disturbance across the area. A large Ki signature that defintely was dangerous could be felt for a moment. The call went out as a distress signal as he made his way over.
*Kaboom!* Members of Orin Temple were attacking the populace. Firing Ki blasts of sickly purple energy. They were not normal at all and not in their right mind as they attacked, one would think at first.
"Yup, the world had gone gogo bonkers!" To many to knock out; the only option was to take them out. 'Volley Burst!' Countless Ki Blast sailed through the air killing the madden monks before they killed any more people.
"Yah!" Krillin himself popped out knocking two of his former brethren down. 'I should have kept tabs when going out to train further with Master Roshi and Tao.
"What the hell is going on here, cue ball?" Conserving his energy for now, he switched to knocking the stragglers out and knocking away debris that started coming down from a building. A large creature was flying out. "Is that.. Cymbal!?"
It was no illusion flying out of the building was a fat bipedal dinosaur/dragon humanoid. One of King Piccolo's Evil Namekian spawns. He was not the strongest of the sons, but had a specialty in locating Dragonballs. In its hand were two people that were thrown away like trash.
"You have the Dragonballs; give them to me!" The creature was able to sense the energy coming off him, apparently or it was due to the shared connection of the Dragonballs, King Piccolo, and Kami.
"How do you know who he is?" Krillin dodged more of the crazed monks, not able to fend off so many at once safely. "Sorry bro!" A leg sweep had one hitting face first into a park bench.
"Bah!" The Orin Temple Monk fired a Ki blast from his mouth with the intent to kill.
"Yeeeh!" Krillin freaked out as the blast hit near his face and melted a hole in the ground. 'Oh man, I need I need some serious help here!'
"Ahhh!" A mother screamed as she was cornered. Both her husband, her brother and herself were off for a simple walk when this all happened. "Someone help!" Tears came down as she clutched her baby to shield it.
*Fwoosh!* The Multiform lit up as a wave of power passed through him. The effect of the fruit the other ate in Other World hitting him at a good time. Just enough to allow one of the abilities to manifest for a bit.
Kakarot V fired another Volley of Ki blasts killing at another wave of the monks near people. One he grabbed hold of as his fangs appeared. Biting into the Monk and draining away his Ki helped a lot. Even a little Spirit energy came with. A well as maintaining the Magic for a little longer.
"Huh?" The mother opened her eyes to see someone over her. The Monk that was about to kill both her and the infant in his grip. "A tail..." The man used his fists to beat back another pair of monks who came over to help their comrades.
With a fling of the tail, the dead Monk was thrown into a few more monks. A Ki Shout shattered the ears of the two that doubled up on him. Stumbling away briefly from the shock, the two immediately bounced back.
They were ignoring what would have hindered regular people easily. He then fired a Ki blast ending their lives on the spot.
"Thank you!" The woman stood up and ran away as fast as her legs would allow. "Thank the lord you did not start crying
"Help those people trapped over there!" He yelled at a police officer who arrived on the scene. It was better than having him get in the way and trying to fight any of the monks.
"Right, never thought I see you helping here to!" The officer was mixing him up with another Kakarot that was going around doing things. Which was fine in its own right since they were the same person. "Come on people, this is not a drill or a movie!"
*Bam!* Blocking another two monks, the situation was getting pretty difficult to maintain safety. He was nowhere near to entering Orin Temple that housed the problem.
"You are strong!" A monk voiced. Actually, overwhelming the Multiform with its strength. "You should serve King Piccolo!" His eyes lit up as it used an eye-burning a mark into the side of his face.
"Grr!" Using Bulk Up, the strength battle changed in his favor. "I will pass!" Grabbing hold, his fangs bit into the base of the man's neck and drained him quickly. "Thanks for the pick me up, though!"
The body, like others, dropped down unmoving. Kakarot fired another Volley Burst knocking the approaching monks down and killing key ones that were not going to be saved.
The ones knocked down before got up again, so this time he just bit them and drained them. With each bite he understood how to drain with the use of Vampirism more. Before spitting on the ground a purple substance to keep from changing like themselves.
Cymbal and Krillin were duking it out still. The little guy was stronger but distracted.
"You monster!" Krillin shouted seeing the process. The Multiform held onto the body and used it as a shield while draining the Ki from it with the use of the fangs. Using Telepathy simultaneously revealed that King Piccolo really was back, and the Monk's served him. "If you can't help, leave!"
Kakarot went from person to person attacking still. When a monk was to battered and unable to take any more from using as a shield, he dropped them after draining the Ki from the body.
Ignoring the cue ball's outcry, he kept killing and reading the minds as he went.
"Oof!" A young monk was knocked out instead of getting killed. "Thank.. you!"
"Yeah.." Feeling the coursing effect of the Black Water Mist inside the people was enough to warrant caution. ".. ptui! Only some is good to help build some antibodies for now!"
The purple spittle actually caused the cement to bubble. Unlike the regular Black Water Mist, King Piccolo added something else inside his, apparently.
"Useless runt!" Cymbal kicked Krillin into a car out of the way. "Humph!" A ki blast rammed into the car, causing it to explode. Charging at the one he thought had the Dragonballs on him, the Dark Namekian didn't pay attention to the devastation in the area. "This all stops if you hand over the Dragonballs!"
Delivering a roundhouse kick and throwing two monks into the behemoth, The Kakarot Multiform was almost out of the little Magic he had gained already. Luckily he had a nice little pick me up that was doing nothing nearby.
"Look, I don't have any Dragonballs on me." Kicking the beast in the head, the Magic Bracers lit up. 'Great, so he is defintely powered up by something additional. Not just the Black Water Mist, maybe?'
Cymbal swung with the might of a beast. Dodging it, a car was completely demolished. The dark Namekian moved quickly as he shoulder charged Kakarot V.
"Grr!" Stopping him with his bulked-up strength, he tossed the creature over his shoulder towards the ground. Mounting the beast, he started punching the head repeatedly. 'Need to knock him out or something.'
*Bzzt!* A wave of lightning shot out as Cymbal used Electric Shock Wave. Hit with so many volts of Ki based lightning sent the Multiform flying and spasming out of control. For a brief moment, the form felt a major dip in its Ki and Magic.
The thought of death echoing through all of the versions of Kakarot quickly.
"Nope!" Flying up high, he was done with any possible training. "I am just going to kill you!" He came down with his arms folded. Ki was coating his arms and shoulders. 'Cross Arm Dive!'
*Fwish!* The air churned as it heated up in the surroundings.
Cymbal opened his mouth and fired a Mouth Cannon out. Unfortunately for him, not enough energy was put in to prevent the descent of the Multiform. Cutting through the ki with the attack, a strike was delivered directly to the beast's mouth and ripped right through its head.
*Thud!* The remains of the body landed loudly. Not a type of control thing at all, Cymbal was just a Specialist in King Piccolo's Army, not someone in control of anything.
"Ha..ha.. that was... not fun.." The Multiform felt himself fading pretty fast still. "..I am going to be the only one to fail at this rate!" Risking it for the biscuit, he latched onto the decapitated Dark Namekian and started draining away. "Ptui!"
He was spitting every few seconds to prevent any trouble from developing. Other than that, he stabilized at an alarming rate, with an increase to his Ki reserves.
"Haa.. perfect." Discarding the remains, he moved at the next wave of demonized monks. The cavalry had arrived. "Disabled any close to the populace! Take out anyone else that I notify!"
Pasta and Bongo jumped right as they landed. A few members from the Gurumes security detail were taking up defensive positions. The resulting firefight increased the casualties and devastation to the area.
Fifteen minutes later, it was calmer and less hectic.
*Tap!* Chichi landed next to Krillin, who was crying at the different dead monks. He missed a few getting up and puking immediately. It wasn't the best treatment, but not like he had the time to do it better.
"The magic inside is fading." Chichi touched a few of the groggy monks. Feeling the different energies fighting inside, she looked at Kakarot, who was still at work fighting. Making note that his Magic kept fading oddly. "Krillin, not everyone is dead; we can still save the others before it is to late."
"I want to kill him!" The young boy stared at Kakarot V with hatred. Which only caused the Black Water Mist inside him to gain a better foothold. Only through sheer will did it stay at bay. "He killed so many of my friends and family!"
A few high powered rifles were pointed t the former monk. Strong enough to pierce fright through his natural Ki barrier with ease. Bongo had learned some morals, but not enough to not kill a threat.
"Krillin, you have to control yourself. It was not that simple, and you know it." Chichi held him back to keep from getting him killed. "The priority is to stop King Piccolo and free everyone who may not have been in the Sacred Water Spout range!"
Using her healing ability, Chichi wished the Divine Water she spread took effect faster. As if on cue, the various animals and people had smoke floating off their bodies. Besides those dead from having their head explode by Ki blasts, the ones drained by Kakarot V were moving after a few minutes.
"Hmm?" The Multiform mumbled as the Magic burned away extremely fast under the Divine Water in the air. Which defintely made him take note that it had an effect on his Magic. But nothing else changed. "Well.. just King Piccolo to deal with now."
"At least everything is calmer." A few people were brought away by Capsule Corp Forces and the Police that arrived from nearby. "Hey.." Chichi came over by floating. Her clothes were that of a Supreme Kai in training, which was defintely something to see. ".. my people are going to take care of the rest of the situation with the police."
"Alright." He used Ki Sense to get a better feel for the surroundings. Unable to determine anything from Orin Temple still, it was best not to go with them. "Good luck in there."
Watching him leave gave an odd feeling, but seeing how he went to assist some of the people to remind her of how he acted back home. A smile appeared on Chichi's face at the passing memory.
