“Daddy?” you hear that other Chaya call, sounding ready to jump down herself.
“Stay back everyone, Karn's leaking Dark.” Chilli says, his voice not booming but still sounding very commanding. “I'm going to try and keep this contained, everyone except Caulifla please step back. Auntie Towa, mind erecting a barrier around us?”
“Of course. One moment.” she replies, you sensing her fly up directly over the both of you. Then her 'infinity' emblem with the sides opened, forming a slanted 'x' appears on the ground beneath the three of you, glowing faintly. Another second later a cylinder of magical energy springs up around you all, cutting your senses of everything outside it off completely. You can't sense any ki besides your brother, Towa, and your Dad's. “There. This Dimension Shift barrier should keep it from spreading any further.”
“Thanks. Now, let's see...” your brother mutters, creating a small crystal blade and sticking it into the dark hole in your father's back. You watch in confusion as he sticks the ENTIRE thing into your father's back, letting go as the Darkness or something within it grabs the crystal. It pulls the crystal down into the depths, your brother grumbling and muttering to himself. “Hrmmm. This isn't good.”
“Can you stop it?” you ask him, Chilli seemingly not hearing you as the Dark starts to burn, you wincing at the sudden pain. “Tch!”
“Shit. Hold still sis.” he says, lowering his right hand and clasping your left just below your wrist. Crystals sprout across the back of your hand, wholly encasing the top half of your hand in a second. “Okay, now pull your hand out. Slowly.”
“Right.” you reply, lowering your hand. And to your relief the crystals hold the Dark that was on you in place, allowing you to lower your hand. Sighing out you draw your hand in, checking to make sure the contact with the Dark didn't damage you. The back of your hand looks burned, but it isn't severe. You can leave it alone until later, right now you have to save your Dad. “I'm clear. Now what do we do? Want me to try healing the hole?”
“You can try, but it won't do anything.” Whis says, you turning and watching him somehow <span class="mu-i">open</span> Towa's barrier, stepping through and letting it seal back behind him with seemingly zero effort. What in the hell IS he? “That is the Dark Sigil. Something I haven't seen in a long, long time. And even longer since I've seen one not ringed in fire.”
