When Worlds Collide (Open)

[Deleted]

Having most literally blown away the entire opposition that had been raised against the Kai's suki couldn't help but feel slightly apathetic to it all. This could all be one giant joke to him. It must have been, because truly Gods held more power than this. An uprising? The ability to break out of hell? This was all so far fetched that Suki himself almost couldn't believe it. And yet as Kasai closed the gap between them and spoke, the reality of everything set in. He was rather omnificent in his knowledge of the situation, and he had even known his dying words to a woman who was clearly already dead. Embarrassing really, to know that such a powerful being could be humbled in death.

His words were hollow. What would she want? I have known her since she was born.

Suki had a hard time believing that this creature knew the first thing about serori. Perhaps he had watched her grow, but could he really gaze into her mind, and into her thoughts. No, Suki thought not and his content turned to a frown. The Kai was working against his intentions and angering the Icer, or at least he had been until...

Future...Children...

His heart rate rose instantly as the thoughts poured into his mind. Suki had been clear headed since his arrival, and for the first time had felt as though he was unincumbered by the demons that haunted him, and yet now it seemed they were returning. She couldn't have been pregnant, not with an Icer child, and Suki had not approved any medical procedures. If she was pregnant than...no...no no no no no.

His chest rose and fell quickly his breathing becoming labored and heavy, his face contorting from something of simple anger to something much worse. Confusion, followed by humiliation, and finally and worst of all, anguish.

The only reasonable answer behind this was that...his love had been unfaithful.

No she was the only being who had ever loved him, and the only being whom had ever shown him compassion. He couldn't accept this, he couldn't allow these two idiots to speak on behalf of the Woman he loved so deeply. His teeth clenched as he looked back up, all of the feelings he had stored on the subject pouring out of him and into Kasai as he spoke.

"Fuck you! Why don't you let her speak for herself then! Enough with your bullshit where is she. If you could intercept me so quickly, then take me to her. If The bastard saiyan really killed my pregnant love then show me her, and the children!"

Finally the confusion in communication had been made painfully clear. That Suki still thought his love was expired. Yet down on Kold she wept his loss, still impregnated with pure saiyan children. Unless Kasai said something to calm the situation, it was likely that the Icer would explode right here and now, his body physically showing signs of a mental break down.

After thinking that the demons would quickly overwhlem them like a tidal wave, Ethar saw that the Icerian launched his own attack into the hole, however it seemed like an atomic explosion went off, as a sphere of energy seemed to rapidly grow right towards him and the other kais. He knew that it was death coming to get him, as he quickly turned around, and started to make his escape from the blast.

"Fuck! Hope you guys get outta there in time." He said, hoping that Heiwa would get out of the blast radius, as he saw the explosion catching up to him, as he leapt as hard as he could up into the air.

His jump allowed him to escape the blast, as Ethar came to a stop on the ground quite a far ways away from where he had been standing before. "Damn it, Helping people is sure dangerous..." He said, wondering if anyone had sensed that he was even there yet. Then he thought that maybe the Icerian was more of a treat then anything, and they were focusing on him.

And with the amount of power it had, Ethar didnt want to stick around to be vaporized, so he started to make his way out of the area, as his thoughts turned to the pink Kaioshin with the awesome hairdo. "Be safe..." He thought, as he left a potentially fatal situation behind him.

The words at first did not seem to be having any effect on placating Suki’s untamed energy as it flew from his body. Kasai was far from being comfortable being this close to the Icer. He knew he was grossly outmatched and while he knew that he would be able to take the fight to Suki for a short period of time if he was farther back. This close it would only take a quick jerk of the hand to be impaled straight through the chest thus ending Kasai’s reign as Western Kaioshin. And his reaction to the Kasai’s hesitation only made him regret mentioning them. He had been hoping that the Icer lord had not put the idea together that she had been unfaithful so quickly. This was a bad situation that once again turned into a worse one.

The Icer’s chest began to heave as his face contorted through a wide array of emotions and his thoughts began to become chaotic. Kasai had been using his telepathy to monitor the situation but his worst nightmare was coming true. The only way he could describe this thought pattern was that of a jilted lover added to the fact that he believed that his lover’s life had been ended by his own attack. Then came the words that Kasai had feared.

"Fuck you! Why don't you let her speak for herself then! Enough with your bullshit where is she. If you could intercept me so quickly, then take me to her. If The bastard saiyan really killed my pregnant love then show me her, and the children!"

Kasai was not sure how Suki was going to react to the fact that Serori was still alive and was now under SSE custody. It was only a matter of time before Kasai stepped on a mine that would cost him all of the progress that had been made. The next several moves would be the most critical ones of all and it would dictate Kasai’s very existence.

“She did not cheat on you Touketsuki Yakedo,” Kasai continued at a whispered tone. He realized that this was not a conversation that needed to be heard by the entire plane of Heaven. “Do not deny it. Both your body and your thoughts betray you in that regard. Allow me to show you what really happened.” Kasai continued. Suddenly his eyes began to glow as he entered into Suki’s mind. The Kai’s magical ability kicked in as he began to paint a scene that had never existed in real life. There in a lab sat Serori in her full royal grace, Kasai made sure to make her more radiant than usual in order to try and play to Suki’s love. The Kai and the WTO emperor hovered over in the air as the non-existent scene began to play before them like their own private show.

Serori made conversation with several scientist who insisted that there was no way that she would ever be able to carry an Icer child to term at this given time due to her genetic makeup. They explained to her that doing so would cause her to lose her life. Serori was clearly grief stricken and her Saiyan enhanced emotions flared for a moment as she slammed some machinery. The news clearly struck a chord as she screamed at the scientists for a way make the process work. The scientists continued to tell her there was no way and that instead they would have to move forward with Plan B instead. Serori seemed less than pleased and uttered words that only the two would be able to hear, ‘He will never be happy with that.’ The scientists reminded Serori that the specimen that they had procured was indeed based off of Saiyan physiology but had been altered to add Suki’s DNA to it thereby making it his legitimate heir to the throne. It had been meant as a surprise to the WTO emperor. Only though did it come to light that is had worked when the SSE was beginning their invasion. Serori slyly wiped a tear from the corner of her eye so that the scientists and told them that this would have to do in the meantime.

The scene began to melt away like it was a candle in the heat of the flame. Soon the two returned to the plane upon where their bodies had never left. Kasai took a deep breath as he worked down the magic that flared from his body. He was not the greatest at manipulating magic however he was proficient enough to produce false images in someone’s mind.

“She never cheated on you Yakedo…” Kasai trailed off. He did not want to linger on the subject as he quickly moved on to subject that Suki had wanted. “As for your second request,” Kasai started he held his tongue after those words though and took a deep breath. In order to make this conversation turn out the way the way he wanted he had to keep calm himself. “I cannot do it. I cannot take you to her because…she is not dead. She still resides on Kold.” Kasai said quietly in a sympathetic tone. “That attack never killed her. She still draws breath. Allow me to show you.” Kasai’s eyes began to glow again as he used his telepathy to show Suki the scene wanted this time. However unlike the last one this one was completely real.

The image appeared and showed the actions following the death of Suki. How Boliko Koregetsu had managed to stave off the blast with the help of Rensou Hiruen thereby sparing their lives and Serori’s in the process. Kasai cut the image short as to not show him Serori’s captivity as a means to further bring the WTO emperor back to an even keel on an emotional level.

“I cannot bring you to her because you exist on the parallel planes. You exist here in the world of the dead while she exists in the world of the living.” Kasai finished. He did not move from the spot in front of Suki in an effort to show that he was telling the entire truth. Any flinch would indicate he was lying and would no doubt cost him his life. Kasai could only hope that Jishin was ready in case the worst happened and Kasai died.

The Icers mind was invaded, and he immediately fought back. His own mental powers far outweighed the Kaioshin, and Suki knew the trick. Telepathy. He fought back until he heard the voice. Her voice. He knew it was but an illusion, but it felt so real. His resistance ended as he watched the scene that played out before him. Men that he knew all too well including his lead Aice. The man spoke to Serori, quelling his desire to be impregnated. Truly Suki had not expected such an outcome, why would Serori do such a thing. She was very specific about not wanting children to impede on the organizations success. He had even gone so far as to abandon the child Ritoru for her. Yet now it appeared as though she did in fact want children, and had gone to great lengths to get them, and twins.Although the peace of mind that she was in fact still faithful was nice, his anger was still at a high, and as he heard the Kaioshin speak once again the thought of pouring his entire being into an attack to blow the entire place up crossed his mind.

Although that had already failed to work once in the recent past.

He was prepared to respond, his tongue thick with hate, ready to tell the Kai to go fuck himself once more, but before the words could slip out Kasai finished his thought...

Not...dead?

"Bullshit I felt her leave this world myself!"

He said, now feeling as though he was being given the run around by the Kai. He was lying to Suki clearly, that was the only thing that could possibly be happening, he had felt her presence die and yet...his hallucination. She seemed so battle worn, and yet so perfect. The only being to ever love the evil tyrant. The only being to truly bless him with life that he cherished more than his own. Was it then possible that what he saw was not a dream but was in fact...her.

He couldn't handle it. The humiliation of his situation, and his foolish actions that could have easily got her killed. He looked at Kasai, and then at the scantily dressed Jishin. His mind was clear from all illness and yet cluttered with self doubt, and hate. It dawned on him then that he was in fact in hell. The place was not physically torturous, not for him anyway, and it was not a terrible place to reside all in all. But living with himself now, that would be the difficult part.

"Piss off western kai"

He said, the only words that he could think of to describe his thoughts. Surely Kasai had not said anything offensive. But Suki was not willing to speak with him any longer. He had no visions of conquest, and not dreams of revenge. He had no lust for further power, or even curiousity into the after life. He was a defeated man, his heart aching, his spirit shattered. He was in hell to pay for his crimes, and so he would do it, alone and in solemn silence.

In an instant the Icer disappeared, his adapted Instant Transmission now more capable than ever. He was certain that beyond a shadow of a doubt he would rot away in this hell, and would do so quietly. Perhaps the day would come where his mind was as fed up as the demons he so senselessly slaughtered moments ago. But today was not that day, nor was that his intention. He would reappear elsewhere on the plains of hell, Far from the Kai's or the hole he himself had created. Hell was not the domain for the Cardinals, and so they could not chase him, console him, or keep track of him, nor would anyone else.

Touketsuki was finally gone.

Touketsuki Yakedo was finally laid to rest, his spirit still haunted.

[Deleted]

Things often happen too quickly for you to notice. A bullet whizzes by you, and had you taken a step further in the direction you were going the bullet would have killed you. But you didn’t. Or the shooter never pulled the trigger. These random happenstances seem random, but are they really?

Jishin stood staring at Kasai and Touketsuki. He knew what was happening but like the person in the path of the bullet, he faltered a step. Would Kasai be murdered by the icer for what he had said? For what he had done. Jishin couldn’t see what Kasai was trying to show the Icer, but whatever it was didn’t matter. Kasai was breaking a cardinal rule of being a cardinal Kai, no brainwashing.

“What have you done?” [/b] Was all the sexiest and perhaps most concerned Kai could whisper.

But then the unexpected happened. Yakedo told Kasai to piss off, and with that he was gone. Jishin was dumbfounded, but a niggling part in his brain told him their troubles today were far from over. Sure Yakedo was gone, back to HFIL for perhaps eternity. But the demon army remained, as did Abaddon. Not only that, but Kasai… What he had just done…

“Kasai…” [/b] The southern Kai didn’t know what to say to his friend… or if he could use that term anymore.

[Deleted]

"Piss off western kai"

The words hung in the air shortly before Touketsuki Yakedo’s presence disappeared from Heaven. Kasai’s mind instantly began to search the universe for his energy signature which he found buried deep back within Hell but he knew that this would not last as the demons residing there would not like to discover prying Kaioshin eyes. Kasai then released the air in his lungs that he had held waiting for Suki’s response. The Western Kaioshin should have been celebrating but all his mind could focus on was the ruling that was laid done by the Ancient Kaioshins before him.

Never use your magic or power to influence the minds of others.

This was a rule that was driven into not only Kasai but any Kaioshin that had ever received any training. Dai Kensei was very clear on this rule and law when another Kaioshin had asked why they did not simply use this in order to make peace in the universe. He explained that it was against every beings right to make his own choices even if they were not in agreement with their views. This was every beings right and them as guardians should never break these rules under any circumstances. However in the final moments of his conversation with Suki Kasai had done just that while he did not lie completely as no doubt was believed. Kasai did though lie about Serori’s conception of her children. But how could he tell Suki the truth? If he had revealed the truth Suki would have simply discarded Kasai’s corpse beside him and gone on to destroy all of Heaven. He had done it in the name of protecting Heaven, in the name of order. The words though stung in his mind. Kasai told himself there was nothing else he could have done but he could think of things. He was greedy; he had valued his own life briefly before that of all that he protected. Kasai could feel the stare of Jishin burning a hole through his back. He knew Jishin could sense what had happened; the lovable annoying oaf knew that was against their teaching. Taking a deep breath he turned to Jishin.

“Who has two thumbs, just saved Heaven and avoided a beating in the process? This guy!” Kasai jested with a smile. He tried to play it off as nothing but the look on Jishin’s face told it all. The Western Kaioshin had broken a cardinal rule something that would not go unnoticed. So while Kasai’s face told one story his eyes told the sorrowful and worrisome shame that Kasai now carried with him.

Just as the demon wave was upon him, a huge power spike in the distance drew all their attention. A massive ball of impossible strength appeared in an instant, a product of Suki’s ungodly power. Heiwa threw his arms up and with a click whisked away as the attack wiped out nearly a thousand demons in a fierce explosion. The Northern Kaioshin appeared a safe distance away just in time to see the demonic horde engulfed in utter destruction.

Throwing his gaze to the location of Suki’s confrontation with his fellow gaze, he let out a sigh of relief to see that it was not merely a missed attack meant to kill one of his comrades. It was an attack created and designated for the demons, which eased Heiwa’s worries over Suki’s intention. Or perhaps he wanted them all to himself? The pudgy protector couldn’t worry about it yet though; first he had to make sure the army was driven back.

Using the View-Master Technique he appeared in the center of the devastation, still smoldering and riddled with the remains of what were demons. Apparently the retreat had been sounded as the wretched beasts were speeding away. Heiwa had to make sure this was not just a tactic however so he pursued the fleeing swarm, spiking his red aura to leap forward a great distance but for only a breath at a time to reduce strain.

“I’m glad you’re deciding to retreat! Positive life choice for a large portion of you, please don’t come back, I really don’t like having to kill any of your, despite how vile you are!”

Heiwa called after them as he neared the rear of the retreating army. It was an honest statement, for Heiwa was an honest kai. However some of the demons seemed to take this as mocking and a few turned to face him in a brash gnashing of tooth and claw.

“No, no, you misunderstand!”

But it was too late they were upon them, so Heiwa held out his palms and activated the Seraph’s Cleansing, vaporizing them in a violent pink light. On he chased them until a dark portal of massive proportions appeared at the head of the retreat, led by the possessed Icer whom rode a demonic dragon. Heiwa stopped his advance, watching only to make sure that none stayed behind. Once they were all gone and the portal dissipated into nothingness, Heiwa let out a heavy sigh.

“This is not over… And I doubt Suki will be here to deal such a decisive blow the next time.”

Then Heiwa felt an ache in the depths of his mind. It was dark magic. Spinning he turned to face the new threat only to find Kasai as the source of the heresy. The Northern Kai’s pulse quickened and he found himself holding his breath. He had never been angry before in his life, not in over three hundred years. He was literally born of the goodness of the universe and is the Kaioshin personification of kindness and righteousness.

“Kasai, you…”

His right hand began to shake as every memory of Kensei instilling the rules of the cardinal kaioshins flashed through his mind. How could he could this? How could he betray his station in such a manner? Even Suki’s sudden retreat into the far reaches of hell could not stem the tide of what was to come. Without holding his hands up, he used this foreign emotion as a fuel for his instantaneous movement. He arrived just in time to hear Kasai’s defense for his actions.

“Who has two thumbs, just saved Heaven and avoided a beating in the process? This guy!”

And then that was it, the straw which broke the kind camel’s back. Heiwa’s red aura flared and his hand flew forward in a fit of rage. Empowered to his full strength his brought his hand upon Kasai’s cheek, a movement even he didn’t know he was doing until after the fact. However the anger flowed through him and he could not stop.

“How dare you Kasai! Do you know what you have done!? You have broken one of the oldest rules! You’ve always been a brash, arrogant egocentric hard ass but always, ALWAYS, you have stood for the Kaioshin Council, as I and Jishin alongside you. To manipulate the mind of a mortal is a dark magic, a SIN amongst the kaioshin! A SIN!”

It was so strange, this awkward emotion washing over him. Heiwa looked to his throbbing pink hand, now reddened just like his disposition.

[Shin Buriketsai]

Shin heard a loud explosion coming from the distance. He could feel the power of a strange individual along with the power of the cardinal kaioshin. He had no clue what was going on, but if it had the attention of the cardinal kaioshin, then it had to be big. Shin rushed to the scene as fast as he could only finding smoke and a retreating army from H.F.I.L.

"What in kai's name? It's true then...the war...it's upon us.[/i]

Shin notices Cardinal Kai Heiwa chasing after what was left of the retreating force. Shin dashed in to aid Heiwa only to find that his aid was not needed. A pink flash came from Heiwa as he seemed to have somehow vaporized the demons. Shin became in awe of the power displayed by Cardinal Kai Heiwa. He had only seen the power of Kasai and to witness another Cardinal Kaioshin's might was truly amazing. Shin watched as Heiwa chased them again back into a black portal. That is when Shin caught sight of Abbadon. He could see that face of terror through the body he had possessed. Shin's skinned crawled up until the remaining horde vanished.

Shin looks back to see the strange Kaioshin Jishin and another individual who seemed to be fleeing. "Why is he fleeing? The Cardinal Kais ha.... What, who is that?[/i] Distracted by the force of the army Shin feels the power of the individual who was know as Touketsuki Yakedo. "When did he die? Now we have two threats to deal with?[/i] As Shin's thoughts run through his head a strong feeling of wrongness filled him. It was coming from Kasai. Shin had no idea what Kasai had done, but he couldn't help but feel it was wrong. Touketsuki vanished and Shin notices Heiwa bolting for Kasai.

Heiwa's aura flared red and he could feel his power seep out of him. Heiwa then drew back his fist ready to strike. "CARDINAL KAI HEIWA!!! NO!!! Tried he did, but it was too late. Heiwa's fist smoothly went across the face of Kasai before Heiwa imploded.

“How dare you Kasai! Do you know what you have done!? You have broken one of the oldest rules! You’ve always been a brash, arrogant egocentric hard ass but always, ALWAYS, you have stood for the Kaioshin Council, as I and Jishin alongside you. To manipulate the mind of a mortal is a dark magic, a SIN amongst the kaioshin! A SIN!”

Shin eyes widened in shock of what was said. Shin raced down to be in the mist of three of the most powerful and wise Kaioshin. A lesser kai had no true business sticking his nose where it didn't belong, but he had no choice in this case. How could they focus on the threat of Abbadon if the Cardinal kai's seemed to be at war with each other?

"Cardinal Kai Heiwa, you are the kindest and most honest kaioshin. How could you allow your anger to cause you to strike Cardinal Kai Kasai? This is no way for Cardinal Kaioshin to act towards one another. What example would that set for the warrior who was here helping moments ago if he had saw that? What example would that set for any warrior who saw that? I have felt a wrongness, but regardless of whatever that feeling has stemmed from I'm sure that the Council of Kais can settle it privately. I have no right to be in the Cardinal's business, but please don't do this. We have more urgent matters to attend to.

Shin looks back at Jishin and sees the look on his face. The kaioshin who was known as a jester had no glimpse of play time written on his face. Shin could only hope and pray to the great Dai Kensei that this would not escalate and if so, hopefully Jishin would be the level headed one. Although, there is no telling with that one.

[Deleted]

“Who has two thumbs, just saved Heaven and avoided a beating in the process? This guy!” Kasai said with a smile, but Jishin could feel that his heart was not in it, and there was no happiness in the smile. The humor filled Kai found it hard to find any humor in their current situation, and it was very peculiar for Jishin to not have a smile on his face.

Heiwa appeared suddenly and slapped Kasai across his face. Jishin was shocked at his actions, but not entirely displeased. It was interesting and peculiar to see the kind and pleasant Kai lose his temper in such a manner. But then again this wasn’t any particular situation; one of their own had broken a cardinal law of the cardinals Kais.

“How dare you Kasai! Do you know what you have done!? You have broken one of the oldest rules! You’ve always been a brash, arrogant egocentric hard ass but always, ALWAYS, you have stood for the Kaioshin Council, as I and Jishin alongside you. To manipulate the mind of a mortal is a dark magic, a SIN amongst the kaioshin! A SIN!”

Jishin felt himself nodding in agreement. The young Kai known as Shin raced up and spoke to Heiwa, but Jishin didn’t care what he was saying, not out of dislike for the young one, but because of the events as they had unfolded. Kasai had commited a sin. What were they to do about it? Kensei would have to be the final judge, but if it were left up to a vote Jishin would find it hard to imagine that Kasai would remain a cardinal kai.

“How… How could you? There were other ways… All he wanted was to see Serori. Not… not…” [/b] Jishin lost his words. He couldn’t even bare to look at his former-friend anymore. What he had done broke a firm belief of Jishin’s. He turned to face Heiwa.

“I believe we should convene a meeting of the cardinals and Master Kensei. We must all discuss what has happened…” [/b]

Jishin stared at Kasai. What was about to occur? Would all of heaven be changed because of it? Jishin wasn’t sure, but this day seemed to be getting worse and worse for all involved.

[Deleted]

The slap probably was the moment that was heard across Heaven. Heiwa had finally snapped and actually performed something that was not only aggressive but also born out of anger. The pink blob never ever allowed himself to succumb to anything but kindness and sadness. Anger was not his forte that was Kasai’s. But in this moment it was not anger that came to the Western Kaioshin. Instead it was shame in the fact that the very first time Heiwa succumbed to anger was because of Kasai’s actions. It was not lost on him that he had broken a cardinal sin, one that Dai Kensei had laid out. He was the Kaioshin that believed in pure order even if it did not always come off that way at times. So this was no easy task for him to do, even if it meant the defense of Heaven.

Kasai’s head slowly turned back to face Heiwa, he had not moved it after the slap, adorning his face was not the typical look of brash anger or an exaggerated emotional look. No what adorned his face was something that would kill a lesser creature. His eyes were stone cold, his jaw locked and his resolved solidified. He would face the consequences for his actions and only there would the other Cardinals listen to him until then it would be useless to try and explain his actions. His eyes fell first on Heiwa who was still in his fits of anger; the emotion did not really suit him.

“Heiwa…if you ever do that again I will show you something that you will not forget,” Kasai stated coldly. He locked eyes with Heiwa’s and perhaps in that moment then the Northern Kaioshin could see how much pain his Western counterpart was truly in. He pushed past Shin without even acknowledging his very existence. Now was not the time to talk to him or even interact with him. It would only end badly for him.

After drifting for a moment he ended up next to the still hardly clothed Jishin. They locked eyes and it was in this moment he knew Jishin had seen right through his little show only a moment ago. Maybe he understood the pain that Kasai was feeling at that moment. “You are right Jishin…Dai Kensei does need to hear what I have done here today. Until then maybe we should seal this hole in the dimensions.” Kasai said over his shoulder. He began to drift down to the hole and prepared himself for the task. But at the same time he was also preparing himself for the worst possible judgment Dai Kensei could deal out.

[Deleted]

"Cardinal Kai Heiwa, you are the kindest and most honest kaioshin. How could you allow your anger to cause you to strike Cardinal Kai Kasai? This is no way for Cardinal Kaioshin to act towards one another. What example would that set for the warrior who was here helping moments ago if he had saw that? What example would that set for any warrior who saw that? I have felt a wrongness, but regardless of whatever that feeling has stemmed from I'm sure that the Council of Kais can settle it privately. I have no right to be in the Cardinal's business, but please don't do this. We have more urgent matters to attend to.”

Now it was Heiwa’s turn to feel shame; shame that he could let himself be overtaken by such a bestial emotion. How could he let such a thing control him? To slap Kasai, someone who he considered a brother despite Kage’s dislike of the pudgy protector, was far beyond the range of his normal self. He looked to his hand now in horror, for he feared a darkening of his heart.

“Yes young kai, you are right, I… I have no excuse for my action, I am sorry Kasai, I… I don’t know what came over me...”

He knew all too well because he felt it well up inside him each time he thought of the heinous act the Western Kaioshin had committed. It scared him to his depths that he could not vanquish the feeling nor see Kasai as he had seen him before.

“Heiwa…if you ever do that again I will show you something that you will not forget,”

His face was that of a stone cold killer, but kai’s were magical beings and he could sense the dread in his rival’s heart. Heiwa nodded, not out of fear but out of respect, for he was prepared to accept a much more harsh punishment from his action. Jishin turned to Heiwa and spoke frankly.

“I believe we should convene a meeting of the cardinals and Master Kensei. We must all discuss what has happened…”

“You are right Jishin…Dai Kensei does need to hear what I have done here today. Until then maybe we should seal this hole in the dimensions.”

Kasai spoke sullenly as he floated towards the hole. Heiwa’s mind snapped out of its angered haze; his first and foremost duty was to protect the separation of heaven and hell. Holding his hands up and a click later he was feet from the dimensional rift.

“Worry not Kasai, I shall mend the barrier…”

Calling upon his Seraph’s Hand technique, he held both palms out flat so they hovered inches from the opening. Summoning his power his red aura tore from him as his hands glowed a heavenly gold. The strain of keeping both his kaioken technique and the healing took its toll quickly on him, albeit much less so than a lesser creature given his centuries of training. A few moments passed as the rift slowly shrunk until it was no more. Exhausted and his body aching from the red aura’s strain he turned back to his comrades.

“I… Must rest… Jishin please send word when the council needs us.”

To split the task amongst all of them would have been easier; although they were not healers the other kai’s power would’ve been helpful. However he felt he had needed to force the anger out of him in some form, even if through physical exhaustion. With that he held his hands up once more before disappearing, his trademark smile all but gone in the fleeting moments.

[Shin Buriketsai]

Shin could not believe his eyes. There was danger at every corner and the Cardinal Kaioshin's were almost at each others throat. Shin simply watched in shock and amazement as Heiwa closed the hole. He could not believe it and remained silent looked over all three Cardinals.

"Well, I guess a lesser kaioshin has know place here. It seems this issue is one that can only be worked out through the guidance and power of the Dai. I pray he has much mercy to give for I am afraid that Kasai is not the only one who may be looked at for this day."

Shin looks at Heiwa. It was his way of letting Heiwa no that his actions were wrong as well no matter how much anger he felt. Shin decided it would be best if he left. Besides, he has many things he's attempting in secret. Forbidden or not, Shin was on his way to the demon realm.
