Dragon Ball: Outside Home: 1000 + 3000

"Endlos? What are you even talking about?" Naif asked, and while he wielded that very same power, he did not know what it was. It was then he sensed Shinki's presence getting closer to them and he frowned, "You're insane, but we don't have time for this. You know what, if you want to fight, fine, I'm not gonna bother anymore. But if you end up dying, you'll only have yourself to blame. Because I won't be making efforts to save you." He coldly told Lexias.

It was then Shinki finally made her appearance before the two, despite all the fight she looked rather unharmed. "Did you really think you two could escape me? In this very own realm I have created?" She asked, "As long as you all remain here, I will know wherever you are. And you are powerless to do anything about it."

"I never intended to run away from you, Shinki! If that was the case, I wouldn't have even come to Makai." Naif said, glaring at Shinki. "If anything, I came here to kick your ass and give you what you deserve."

"Oh? Well then, we'll have to see about that." Shinki stated. Naif took a step forward before he flew towards her, attacking her with a barrage of punches and kicks to which the god was blocking or avoiding.

With Hoar's attack, Fizz would finally be overwhelmed and a large explosion ensued. Fizz then fell to the ground, and upon impact shattered like he was stone.

"What the hell?" Sunn wondered, "He...shattered, like a statue! I truly hope that wasn't the real Fizz, I don't even know what's going on anymore."

"Worry not, this was definitely not Fizz. He did not emit the same kind of presence as Naif and Pleasantt do, or any of Lex's family." Erith said. "That being said... Whatever this being was, it resembled Fizz down to a T. I genuinely thought that it truly was him." Byakuren commented. And an instant later, a chuckle echoed through the room.

"Thank you for the compliment, I make sure my work is always impeccable. This was no exception," The voice echoed, soundd like it belonged to a woman, "Although, I am kind of annoyed you broke down that idol, I thought it was one of my better works."

"Where's that voice coming from?" Sunn wondered. Suzumi looked around, then up before exclaiming, "Above us!"

And just above the group, was a woman with long blue hair wearing a headkerchief, she had what seemed like sculpting tools attached to her outfit and she looked down on the group, standing on the ceiling her arms crossed.

"Who are you?" Erith asked. "Keiki Haniyasushin." The blue haired woman answered, "I make idols. Oh, and I'm helping out Shinki. Sorry if you got your hopes up, but I'm afraid that your prince, Fizz... Is in another place!"

[oooo]

Lexias leaped into the air, his sword in hand. He'd attack from the side and bring his sword in various swipes, attempting to corner Shinki and coordinate with Naif.

...

Pleasantt looked up to Keiki and he shook his head, "Madness! Why go to such lengths to conceal the location of my brother?" He asked her, not understanding the decision.

[Notaka]

And now Shinki would have to defend herself against both Naif and Lexias, and soon enough her defenses were overpowered she would be struck by both of them, causing her to be pushed away from them. She would have wounds over her body but they quickly healed.

"Not bad. Not bad at all, I haven't had this much fun ever since my battle with the fused gods of Moriya." Shinki exclaimed, "Things have been dull, lately. You people coming in to Makai will make for a nice distraction... Unfortunately for you, I've long since abandoned this place, Makai has expanded and you stand at the first realm. If you thought you would find Fizz here, then it is with my great pleasure to inform you he is not here."

Naif narrowed his eyes. "I don't believe a word you say. Even if what you say is true, why would you tell us?" He asked. "As I said, all of this is only entertainment to me. And I would rather not have you bumbling around this place. That being said, you are free to do so, my apparition here has consumed too much energy and is now going to disappear." Shinki exclaimed, revealing that they had not been fighting the real one, "You should consider yourselves lucky, as I am now, I do not possess the full extent of my power. But I will be waiting for you, at the end of the new Makai."

---

"Why? That's something you should ask Shinki, not I. I'm just doing her a favor as a friend!" Keiki replied. "But I guess it is more fun watching you find him, it would be rather boring if we spilled the beans."

"We'll make you talk, don't worry about it." Suzumi told her. "You can try, but before, these guys want to have a word with you, first." Keiki stated and soon enough, surrounding the group were many, many idols. They all looked identical, humanoid statues stripped of any features.

"Oh-uh, Those guys look creepy." Sunn commented. "There's so many of them, but everyone, do not give up yet." Erith spoke to the group. "Of course. I'd be dead long before I give up." Byakuren added.

The idols then ran towards the group, closing in to them from every conceivable angle.

[oooo]

Lexias looked at Shinki with narrowed eyes, before he then turned around and would look at Naif with a piercing look. Shinki had already been banished from sight and now from the mind, with the knowledge that she was disappearing. "We need to talk, faker. About us and the Avenduras and how we both have what we think we have." He said to him.

...

Kenshiro cursed his wounds before his hand flew forward to his body and he applied several pressure point techniques onto himself. His muscles increased several folds in size because of it. Would be strong enough to act independently of his fractured bones. He'd leap forward and begin to throw an innumerable amount of blows at the idols.

Hoar cringed, "Scary!" He cried out, as he began lobbing ki blast after ki blast at the idols from a distance. By his side, Pleasantt moved with grace, his arms trailing chaos energy. He was attempting to smash the idols too.

Obito's eyes glowed red and with it, his reactions increased. He'd begin to attack the idols with a furious intensity.

[Notaka]

Shinki had disappeared, leaving a sinister laughter behind. Naif sighed and shook his head, "This is gonna be tougher than I thought." He told himself before turning to Lexias, "And stop calling me a faker, already. You're incorrigible. And whatever you want to talk, do it on the way, we're going to join up with the others." Naif spoke to Lexias before he would fly off, towards the fortress where the other group was.

---

The idols were not a threat strength wise, however it seemed like for every idol they destroyed, two more took their place, they were being swarmed.

"Shit, more and more keep coming!" Sunn exclaimed, destroying one idol after another but he was feeling overwhelmed. "We cannot do this forever!" Erith warned. "There can't be an infinite amount of them, we just have to keep this up you guys!" Byakuren encouraged.

Suzumi scoffed, "Why are we fighting these things... When we can just get rid of the source?!" She shouted, looking at Keiki she fired a ki blast at her. The god leapt, avoiding the ki blast, "Be careful there, you almost hurt me... Or probably not. There's no point in you fighting me if you can't even get through those statues." Keiki stated, holding her tools in hand.

[oooo]

Lexias shook his head, and he sneered, "What a waste of time!" He swore before he flew after Naif, towards the castle they went.

...

Pleasantt looked to Keiki, his eyes narrowed. A portal opened in front of him as he summoned an eye-demon, while a second portal opened behind Keiki. Pleasantt leaped through and would attempt to surprise Keiki from behind with an attack.

[Notaka]

Naif slowed down the pace as to allow Lexias to catch up to him, but he was still heading towards the castle. "So, what do you have to tell me?" He asked him.

---

Keiki however managed to react to Pleasantt, and leapt forwards, avoiding him. "Tsk, tsk, thought you could fool me with this sad attempt at a surprise attack?" She asked him. "Hmm, you're Fizz's brother, aren't you? The eldest one. Yes, we know about you," Keiki told him. "You know what, I'll play with you. The others, though, they're going to be busy to do anything." And indeed, the group was overwhelmed by the idols, and even if they wished to battle Keiki the statues got in their way.

Keiki smirked before reaching for her pocket, she would toss nails towards Pleasantt. Those were not any regular nails, they were nails made of energy.

[oooo]

"I and my accomplice come from a different world, and I'll assume, as you're a human that we most likely arrived on Earth." Lexias did not tell Naif that he had arrived at this conclusion due to the destruction of the universe and his prior genocide of men before that. "Where, or when I come from - Earth had been destroyed eons ago in a celestial war between gods, though men survived."

Lexias then concocted a lie, knowing that the real truth of the matter would probably not endear Naif to him. "To survive in their new environment, men had to evolve. And here I stand before you, your descendant in all likelihood."

...

Pleasantt would attempt to summersault backward onto the ceiling to avoid being impaled. While up there he'd clutch in his hands a strange rotund-looking chaos demon. He squeezed the creature and its body wheezed in pain, a purple laser shot out from its mouth and towards Keiki.

[Notaka]

"So you're saying you came from the future?" Naif asked. He actually found it hard to believe it despite all the strangeness the young man went through. "I guess that explains a couple of things. I've got a lot of questions on my mind now, but I'll just ask this one- why did you come here, to the past?"

---

Keiki was hit by the laser beam which caused her to be blown back. "So, I see you've fully embraced the power of chaos, Eldest son of the white lion," She told him. "Your father could do the same. Although, unlike you, he hated it. I wonder what he would think, if he saw you using it in a such carefree manner?"

With that, Keiki gestured with her hands and some of the idols leapt towards Pleasantt, surrounding him. This only served as a distraction for the god, who charged an energy beam and fired it at Pleasantt, even destroying the idols that were in the way.

[oooo]

"Well, it's because in the future, the entire universe, everything in it, has been completely destroyed. We're here so that we can avert that catastrophe," Lexias explained to Naif, of course, there were other reasons, but Lexias did not know how to approach explaining it.

...

"Chaos is an empty form, when one fills it with hate it becomes hate. But when it's tempered, it's form changes." Pleasantt said, thinking, perhaps to its original state. Pleasantt would hold his arms out fill width around him, his palms spread. A shield of chaos formed around him and would barely hold against the energy wave.

[Notaka]

"I see. You're not as bad as I thought you were, althrough you are pretty insufferable." Naif told Lexias. "I had no idea that rescuing Fizz would end up saving the world, but that's all the more reason to do it." He added and in the distance, Shinki's castle could be seen, "We're getting close... And I sense everyone is fighting."

---

"I suppose that's a unique way to look at it!" Keiki stated in response to Pleasantt's musings. And while Pleasantt was holding out against her energy beam, some of the idols would get behind him and attempt to strike him in the back.

[oooo]

"Insufferable? Ha!" Lexias laughed with bemusement, he had never been called anything of the like. As a king, he had been treated like a God. "Let's go then," he said in agreement to Naif.

...

Pleasantt was struck in the back, he was sent to his knees, but he would not give up his struggle against Keiki.

[Notaka]

"I see that you're reaching your limits... Are things too tough for you, hmm?" Keiki asked, rather smugly. "Pleasantt! Damn it, we must help him!" Sunn exclaimed. "And how are you going to do that? No matter how many of these things we blow up, more and more show up!" Suzumi replied to him.

"I'm afraid that like Pleasantt, we are starting to reach our breaking points, aswell!" Byakuren admitted. "We cannot... We cannot fail here. No matter what the cost, we must save Fizz...!" Erith shouted.

"Indeed, we must." A new voice exclaimed, surprising the group and even Keiki, before all of a sudden what seemed like to be a large dragon with one eye and several limbs and wings appeared, it opened its maws and releasing fire from its mouth, melting many of the idols.

"Who is that?!" Keiki demanded, and appearing just above the struggle between Pleasantt and her, was a familiar figure. Erith's brother, Nek'Zeriss. "Greetings everyone, it has been quite a while, hasn't it? It seems you're all having problems." Zeriss said, arms crossed.

"You?! Zeriss!" Erith shouted with confusion, shock and of course, anger. "That guy! He's still around?" Sunn asked.

[oooo]

"WHO!?!" Hoar screamed at the sight of the dragon; it gave him quite a big fright. "Is it going to eat us!?!?"

"No," Kenshiro said simply as he watched Zeriss with wariness, they had been enemies once, and still, he did not trust the guardian. Though he had saved them.

Obito kept quiet, thankful for this figure's help - though he did not know who he was.

"Zeriss!" Pleasantt roared out loud, hearing his voice but unable to view him. "Please! My friend, give me your aid!"

[Notaka]

"Of course." Zeriss replied to Pleasantt, "It is my duty as a guardian to protect the family of Lex, as per our forefathers' pledge to the White Lion."

"I don't know who you are..." Keiki said, "But it doesn't matter if one more of you shows up. My army of idols is never ending! My forces far, far outnumbers yours."

"I wouldn't be so confident if I were you," Zeriss said. "Look around you. The flames that this dragon creature conjured- they are spreading and still going strong."

"He's right!" Byakuren exclaimed, "These flames are covering the entire room, yet I can sense they do not pose a threat to us.... This is a chaos spell of a high calibre. Keiki's idols are destroyed as soon as they appear!"

"Huh?" Sunn asked, he found it hard to believe that there were flames that could not burn him. He reached his hand for the closest fire to him and to his shock, found that he felt nothing from it. "Y-You're right! I feel nothing from the fire. I might very well try to get the air to hurt me, instead."

Zeriss would order his dragon to throw a fireball at Keiki, causing the god to cancel her attack against Pleasantt and leap out of the way, the god looked rather nervous. "Tsk!" Keiki scoffed, "Damn you... But even without my idols, I'm fairly certain I can win."

"Are you certain? Take a look around you. Quite ironically, it is you who is outnumbered, the one who claimed to have an infinite army." Zeriss said, "And... more of the cavalry has arrived." The moment he spoke those words, Naif and Lexias had made their appearance, barging inside the room.

"Finally, we've found you." Naif said, He looked at Keiki who was shocked to see him, "So this must be the enemy, and..." He turned his eyes to look at Zeriss and was surprised, but a frown masked it, "...You're here as well. But I should have expected it, the moment Pleasantt came with us."

"What a cold treatment, you should be quite grateful I helped your friends, Naif. If I had not shown up, they would have perished by the time you got here." Zeriss said, "Please, for now, we must work together and let bygones be bygones... For the sake of Fizz."
