>>5357951You reach out, focusing your ki sense down until you've locked onto the singular energy of your daughter's friend, Raditz. Once you've locked onto his ki, you raise your right hand to your forehead.
“What are you doing?” Aku asks, but you don't answer. Focused as intensely as you are, chest nearly on the verge of bursting as your body screams for air, you finally do it! With your focus crystallized, you teleport both yourself and Aku out of the depths. One second the two of you are down in the depths, the next you and the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness are both standing, water dripping onto the clean floor of the medical bay as you take several rapid, deep breaths.
“What the-?!” Raditz shouts, immediately Ascending in a burst of sparks while gathering ki into both hands ready for a fight. But then he sees you, and immediately relaxes. His aura fades away, while also letting the gathered energy in his hands disappear with a sigh out. “Oh, hey. Who's this?”
“I am the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness, the Shogun of Sorrow, the Master of Masters Aku.” he declares, his usual hamminess returning in full force. “And thanks to Karn here, my power has now reached even greater heights! Now, where are we Karn?”
“The medical bay, in my home.” you say, returning the newly-acquired sword to your left hand as you walk over to Chaya's side. You then look over to Dr. White, who's looking nervously at Aku. “Is it okay if he takes a look at Chaya? He's been around for quite awhile, he may have insights into her condition.”
“Of course. The first two scans have completed, and the third hasn't started yet.” he replies, but still seems nervous. “Just don't move her.”
“I understand.” Aku says, walking over and lays his hand on her sternum. Then his darkness begins spreading out from his hand.
“Wha-?!” Raditz exclaims, taking a half step forward towards her as his darkness envelops her body. Much like he consumed the dragon, his darkness covers her completely.
“Hrmmmm. Oooh, I see.” Aku mutters, free hand going to his chin and pulling on his goatee as he looks down at her. “This is interesting. Her body has been filled with a lot of divine magic recently. And I mean a LOT of divine magic. As if two different gods have been warring for dominance inside of her body.”
“Two gods?” you ask, confused. “How? She only fought one opponent.”
“It looks like while one deity tried to crush your daughter, another tried to intervene and save her.” Aku replies, retracting his darkness from her and taking a step back. “But that one's power and influence wasn't great enough to undo what the other did.”
