Planet: Earth Location: Mountains beyond East City; Ruins of Al-Kahtar Once upon a time, there laid an ancient city-state, poised in the mountains. Not much is known about the kingdom, other than the fact that it is dated to be thousands of years old, well before the time of the Z-Fighters, well before most modern civilizations came to be. A civilization of spiritualists and shamans who worshipped the Old Gods, and who practiced ancient, arcane paths of magic. There are very few records of their existence in history, and no recorded wars involving these ancient people. Yet, for some reason, their civilization simply vanished. And the only remnants of their presence is the Ruins of Al-Kahtar. Was the Ruins of Al-Kahtar. Such an establishment had only been discovered recently by archaeologists. The name was found after some preliminary searches of the territory, in which strange writings were engraved upon a vase found in the ruins that held the name. No one was sure if that was the name of the city, but as such the name stuck, and the ruins were to be known by archaeologists from that moment forward as "Al-Kahtar". Archaeology teams had numerous plans to excavate the site and search for whatever they could safely recover from the ruins in order to study and discern more than just the bare bones basics about this society, based on what they had left behind. Such a project, naturally, was extremely costly, and most archaeology teams had multiple projects of similar origin occurring throughout the planet. Thus, no one made any claim over the city-state, and it was temporarily left alone. Now, there was no hope of recovering those relics. The city state, due to their vague background in magic, attracted those who followed a mystical path and wished to known more, the few who chose to practice such arcane arts attracted by the ruins' strong magical presence. Lilith Nevermore, a witch and heir to the Nevermore royal line, was such an interested party, and had searched for the ruins. Little did she know, that the ruins had attracted the eye of another, for a vastly different reason. Majin Khoshai, an eight year old pink ball of cuteness and deadliness, had deemed the ruins as his personal playground, and had spent the entire morning jumping around on fragile structures, and throwing priceless relics around like baseballs, shattering centuries old handcrafted goods. Enraged by such a disturbance of what could be considered holy ground for the wicked, Lilith attacked the Majin, and a large scale fight had ensued. Both fighters were driven to the very limits, with Lilith expending massive amounts of magical energy in an attempt to crush the Majin, and the Majin in turn devoting all of his own magic and energy to destroying Lilith. Both had nearly destroyed each other, and as a result, all of Al-Kahtar had been turned to dust, only a crater, that stretched on for miles, remained of the place. And in the center of that crater, laid a glowing pink shell of energy. The concentration of dark energy was near suffocating, having an adverse reaction on humans and wildlife alike. Trees stretching on for miles past the focal point began dying, turning into smoking black husks of what they previously were within weeks. Black smoke was a constant fixture of the area now, turning the sky above the battlefield a thick black. Animals were dying by the dozens, but not before going completely mad due to the remnant magic, which had led to a few attacks between human and crazed animal. Response Teams had attempted to approach the site, and discover just what was going on, yet the dark magic had proven too overwhelming for poorly trained humans. They started off fine, but by the time they had ventured halfway into what was called the "Ruined Approach" by archaeologists, several response team members had collapsed, unconscious, with the others reporting intense lightheadedness, trouble breathing along with a plethora of other mysterious symptoms, seemingly appearing from nowhere. As such, the Ruined Approach had been sectioned off for hikers and most of the public until government approved Ki wielders could report to the scene, for it was hypothesized that perhaps those with special training in martial arts and Ki manipulation could endure the adverse effects of the strange haze that cursed the land. Such a hypothesis was correct. Beings with abnormally large power levels could resist the effects of the remnant sorcery with little to no effect on their bodies. However, no one truly knew just what they would find if they ventured past the Ruined Approach and found the previous site of Al-Kahtar. In the center of the crater laid Majin Khoshai, lying flat on his back, his arms spread out in a T on either side of him. The small child Majin looked good as new, not a spot or injury on his body. He also appeared to be asleep, the child snoring quite loudly, his mouth wide open. He also seemed to be in some sort of energy stasis bubble, most likely a subconscious life preservation method on his end. His slumber must have allowed him the chance to rapidly recover his energy, and renew his regeneration capabilities, to the point where his injuries sustained during his battle with Lilith had all but healed completely...and he was soon to wake. Little did he know, that the grand battle between the Majin child and the evil sorceress had not gone unnoticed. Not in the slightest. Word Count: 923 | Queen Kuueru

It was indeed tough work trying to collect the universe’s most capable and talented. Kuueru’s contact list had been steadily growing since she had first stepped into the mortal realm. The demon figured it would be for the best to collect as many powerful allies as possible, then if a possible threat came to her, she would have meat shields; alas—some of those she met, she couldn’t imagine sacrificing instead of ending a threat herself. She wasn’t vain, but the power the woman possessed rivaled many of the galaxy’s strongest combatants.
Today she prepared to travel once again. Her destination some ancient ruins which had some ‘not so ancient’ activity. New reports showed massive energy readings hurling off the planet Earth at the location in particular. Kuueru didn’t go without researching the ruins however; there were records of massive collections of dark energy as well as local incidents in death of wildlife and magical anomalies in animals. While, that wasn’t prompt enough for her to dive in and get involved, the idea that another place possessed such dark energy for her disposal only intrigued the demoness. She had plotted her trip, and was not preparing to leave; however, she was genuinely curious if she was wasting her time. Whatever fight happened there had long since ended---would anyone even be there?
The woman inhaled sharply while adjusting the black turtleneck that hugged her torso. Upon her legs blue denim jeans and knee-high boots prepared her for the chilly Autumn breeze, not that the cold bothered Kuueru much. She enjoyed looking stylish and not out of the normal however, if she were to travel outside in shorts and a tank top, one might think she was crazy, or a kid with no sense of temperature.
“Alright, let’s focus,” She mumbled words of encouragement to herself before her purple eyes fell shut. She focused on the darkness, her mind was immediately drawn to the ruins that once were whole. It took a moment for her to secure the path, but soon her body shifted from view. Physically the woman was hurling through space and time, but only for a brief moment. Kuueru was already on Earth and didn’t have too far to travel to reach her destination.
She appeared in darkness, black smoke clouded the air around her; luckily she didn’t need to breathe to survive. The woman paused however, her eyes growing wide from the feelings overtaking her body. Not only did she sense a power level around, but the energy of this place was insane. She gripped her hands and looked towards the sky. Whatever connection this place had lulled the woman in, perhaps she was just a foolish demon; perhaps she wanted to investigate further.
“Hmm, whatever happened here; I’m glad I wasn’t here,” Kuueru affirmed to herself aloud as she began to walk through the ruins curiously. Her eyes took in the broken frames and foundations of tombs and temples. Upon the ground various goblets, gold, and grimoires were strewn across the ground and exposed to the elements. Her brows furrowed at the thought of all the things being so haphazardly left to rot, but she supposed it was fate.
The scene was desolate however, she couldn’t see very many signs of life, besides what appeared to be rabid animals running across the scene. They moved erratically and repetitively as if they had no control of their actions. The demoness squinted her eyes as the fox began to run towards her. It hissed and drooled from the mouth as it began to gnaw on her leather boot. An eyebrow raised at the small creature who seemed to only be focused on ending her, bit by bit. Alas, Kuueru didn’t have time for such. Her arm slunk down, her fingertips curling around the scruff of its neck; she raised the angry creature to her face for a closer look.
“Ahh, affected by magic?” Kuueru diagnosed with precision, her hand soon shaking the fox with a strong whip. Its body fell limp while it’s neck was snapped with ease. She threw the still-warm corpse to the side as she continued to push through the rubble and smoke. Steadily she fought past the obstacles and towards the power-level that didn’t shutter from her own massive energy. She flared her aura, which was only intensified by the playing field of wild abundant energy. It fed into her like a battery, increasing the reserves of her Ki and abilities. It reminded her of the demon realm, yet a bit less potent in power.
Finally, she found another crater. Within it, she nearly couldn’t believe her eyes. The demon stood in awe at the pink boy whom was marked as Majin by his belt. Her arms folded over her chest and her feet lifted from the ground below. She then descended into the crater to get a better look at her discovery. The Majin appeared young still, but what was he doing here? Out in the open…
“Huh, it’s asleep…” Kuueru noted the obvious, however she landed beside him. The barrier protecting him was strong, but not impenetrable. If she wished she had the means to dispel it with ease. He appeared to be completely stable, yet still asleep. He would probably wake on his own soon, if the book of Bibadi she and Lute stole was correctly translated. In it, he spoke often of the Majin and their abilities’; Naturally Kuueru was curious now.
She leaned down, her mouth uttered an incantation that seemed to dissipate his shield with ease, however—would be wake up guns blazing at the site of the pink-haired woman?

Sleep was required for all beings created organically. It was a natural aspect of life, and some species needed it more/less than others. It helped keep the body functioning. It helped heal the body. And for Majins, it did all of that and more, on a much more dramatic level. Khoshai had expended nearly all of his energy trying to destroy Lilith, and she had done nearly the same, leaving both parties injured, with Lilith suffering a plethora of injuries, both external and internal, and Khoshai in turn being beaten so many times that his regeneration capabilities were beginning to severely lag, to the point where he was barely bouncing back from his injuries. Eventually, he had expended so much energy that he had fallen into a "Majin Hibernation" of sorts, which was essentially passing out and encasing himself in a safety cocoon of sorts, to guard himself against the elements until his energy levels jumped back to their peak and his body regenerated from whatever damage he sustained. The length of time depending on the severity of his wounds before passing out. Luckily, Khoshai's body was still capable of regenerating from huge injuries before he passed out, hence the week duration of his slumber. Yet, today was the day he would awake once more. As Kuueru stood over Khoshai and caused his energy cocoon to evaporate, Khoshai muttered something in his sleep, shifting for the first time. And then, ever so slowly, he opened his eyes. It took him a few minutes to adjust. Khoshai blinked as he tried to will the fatigue from his body. He sat up and stretched, his arms straight up to stretch. The boy yawned loudly at the same time, seemingly not yet noticing the demoness who stood literally right over him. It wasn't until after the Majin child continued stretching, that he looked up curiously at Kuueru. His first expression was anger, for he briefly thought it was Lilith trying to hurt him again. But then he realized....that this was someone else. Not that it made him feel any better. "You're gonna hurt Majin Khoshai too, now? Everyone is mean to Kho, everyone wants to hurt him, and take away his fun! All Kho wants to do is have fun! And no one wants him to do that! It's not fair!" The child said, clearly venting his frustration as he turned his back on Kuueru, drawing his knees up to his chest, as if turning his back would make the woman mysteriously vanish. His luck with people as of lately had been pretty shitty. First it was that Saiyan girl in South City that had stolen all of Khoshai's cotton candy (albeit it wasn't necessarily his, nor did she eat all of it). And now there was Lilith, who had attacked the Majin in an attempt to scare him into leaving the ruins alone, in which Kho had already "claimed" as his private playground. So, that made two joys for the boy ruined by outside influences! So why should this one be any different? And the funny thing was, Khoshai had no reason to really hurt anyone, nor did he desire it, although he most certainly would if the offending party made him angry or hurt him in anyway. But Khoshai's priority was to live his life and have fun. However, he also didn't understand that his "fun" came at the expense of others, with a prime example being disturbing the ancient ruins of Al-Kahtar, by swinging around on broken down buildings like monkey bars. But in his eyes, he was beginning to see everyone as some form of "meanie", and figured this woman would be no different. They were never different.

It wasn’t long after the woman broke the spell of regeneration that the Majin boy began to stir in his sleep. Her dull purple eyes took in his adolescent form, he still had great potential to grow even stronger. That shimmer of hope didn’t dull the already beaming smile upon her face. No, she kept on thinking of what kind of trouble the kid could get into under the right guidance and persuasion.
He seemed to act like a typical person waking from a good slumber. He did his yawns, stretches and gripes before looking up to notice her presence. The expression painted on the pink face shifted to anger, perhaps he intended to attack her? She braced to defend herself, but instead he spoke some words about her intent to hurt him or take away his ‘fun’. She hadn’t a clue what he was talking about, but decided to play into the boy’s frustrations. As he turned away and gave her the cold shoulder she knelt down to his level.
“Huh, Why would I hurt ya? I don’t even know ya,” Kuueru responded to the boy. He seemed upset, but Kuueru wasn’t sure how to handle his childlike temper tantrum. Still, he seemed to be calm enough for now, besides turning his back to her. He then hugged his knees to his chest and almost pretended as if Kuueru wasn’t breathing down his neck.
Suddenly however, she did vanish. The woman who was standing so adamantly behind the couching Majin lad, was now gone. She waited a long moments before she decided to return to the party. When she did, she chose to appear on his front-facing half. She stared at his puffy face for a few seconds before giggling under her breath. He had an odd looking face, as well as the most adorable hair blobs…
“Hi. I’m Kuueru!” The demon shot the other a wave, whether or not they avoiding looking at her or not. Though, that was hard with her kneeling right in front of the boy. Her arms folded over her chest as she tried to think of what to possibly say to a Majin to ease his nerves. She didn’t actually come here to see the boy, only to investigate the disturbance and to loot whatever of the ruins remained in tact.
“What happened around here? It looks like someone might have gotten hurt. Glad I wasn’t here! H-How were you just sleeping in the rubble?” Kuueru asked with a concerned stutter. Although she read a bit about a magical battle taking place, the details of whom, and what was involved was still being closely guarded by the Empire. Despite her rank even that information was kept classified.
“Sorry, I’m being forward asking too many questions,” the demon spoke before standing to her full height. She took a few steps back to signal that she wasn’t a threat to the boy. Though, with all this dark energy around, it was not wonder that he was drawn here. Demons and his kind alike would both lock onto the place like some sort of homing missile.

Majin Khoshai just wanted to be left alone. Left to brood by himself, to pout in silence, to get mad at the people who hurt him so in peace. He was beginning to hate people, and a part of him was also missing home. When it came to Majin family units, they would make the average Earthling family unit scratch their heads in confusion. Majin parents were pretty carefree about most affairs with their children, mostly because the so-called adults were just as childish as their offspring. There was love there, no doubt about it, and it was often expressed, yet it wasn't the same nurturing care that Earthling parents were so well known for. When Khoshai said he wanted to leave the household and explore the planet, his parents were completely fine with it, and even packed him with the necessary essentials (bags upon bags of candy) to take with him for the trip. Khoshai had never looked back a day in his life. Yet now, he was beginning to long for them. Everyone on the outside was being mean to him...and he didn't like it. Despite this internal conflict, he couldn't help but take notice of the demoness that hovered around him so, her rather swift change in positioning placed her directly in front of him. Out of pure curiosity, he looked up at her, one of his head tentacles flopping to one side of his face as he did so. She was really pretty, and he could sense his overwhelming power, too. She was much stronger than him, and held an aura that was pretty.....unique. Her aura could have been related to Lilith's, but at the same time it was different. Lilith's aura stank of countless rituals, sacrificial offerings, and the plethora of souls that she had drained from others. Not to say Kuu's aura wasn't evil....but it was a different kind of evil. A demonic darkness attached to her that only demons could possess. Although Kho didn't deduce that much. He got as far as she was strong and her aura was different from Lilith. Oh, and the fact that she was pretty. Yet, what mainly grabbed his attention were her words. They weren't.....accusations or threats, or some sort of dark declaration of death followed with an attack. She...was acting nice. She was even introducing herself. Something that Kho felt inclined to reciprocate. "Kho's name is Majin Khoshai. Khoshai's nickname is Kho though. Your name sounds pretty too! Maybe I'll call you Kuu!" The child finished, seemingly pleased that he thought of such a creative/basic nickname for the woman. Standing up, the Majin child looked around curiously at the ruins...or rather what remained of what used to be the ruins. Now a desolate wasteland, completely destroyed by the fight. When inquired about the details of the fight, Khoshai's expression dropped, yet not into anger, more of a sad pout. "Bad Witch mean. Kho was playing here and evil witch came and hurt Majin Kho! So I got mad and fought her. Wanted to kill her! Majin Kho almost killed her, but stupid witch magic was too strong, and she beat me up. Evil Witch is a big meanie.....I'mma kill her.......make her pay for hurting Majin Khoshai! The memory seemed to nearly agitate the boy, as his power level suddenly flared up without his even noticing. While it didn't hold a candle to Kuueru's overwhelming power, it was still much higher than most of the Earthlings that inhabited this planet. However, Majin Khoshai's anger didn't last long before he calmed down, and his power level dropped down as well, seemingly lowering to a mere five hundred. However, at the peak of his frustration, his power level had jumped to beyond thirty three thousand. He let out a small groan before looking back to Kuu. "She hurt Majin Kho and made Kho fall asleep! But I almost killed her!"Post Count: 660 | Total Word Count: 2,204 | Queen Kuueru |

The boy looked like a child that managed to get over a tantrum after some reasoning from his mother; if he even had one of those. The boy sat and brooded for a while, who knew what thoughts and frustrations plagued his mind. She wished to pick him apart, but simply didn’t care enough to try---Alas, Khoshai was his name, and he chose a suitable nickname of Kho as his go to.
She could only hope that her kind words and persistence would be enough to keep him talking, luckily for her they did. As the woman continued on with her incessant pestering, the Majin kept his gaze focused on her. Perhaps it was her aura, most seemed to have a hard time stomaching it.
“Kuu and Kho huh? Sounds like if we put them together it would be a brand of cereal,” the demon mumbled while running an idle rake of fingers through her long pink locks. She sat there for a moment as if lost in thought; then Kho decided to enlighten her. The boy stood, as did she. In height she towered over him, rivaling most females in height.
“A witch? Huh, that sounds interesting though. I’m sorry you got hurt! But---at least---it looks like you’re okay now…I think?”
The woman looked over the Majin’s body once more for scars or abrasions. He was intact, and if anything looked like he just returned from a spa date. The cells on the surface of his skin were all pristine and renewed. Whatever bubble he was in before, has some sort of magnificent power if this was all he looked like after a magical duel.
Especially in stark comparison to the place around them. You could tell that whatever happened was enormous, and reckless. This Majin also had the mentality to make her believe that he indeed, didn’t think too much. With his simple sentence structure and child-like innocence she couldn’t imagine he had very deep thoughts. Perhaps the boy was more of an empath?
“Oh, so she is the one who put you to sleep?” Kuueru wiped a bead of sweat from her brow. The Majin’s flaring aura heated her skin and caught her off-guard. Her composure remained however as she tried to calm the boy down. Though his power was but a fraction of her own, he had potential to seriously hurt them both if he kept flaring up. It could bring unwanted attention as well.
“Well Kho, sounds like you didn’t have a good time. Say, where do you live? Is someone worried about you?” Kuueru questioned, inferring if the boy had any family or friends who had missed him while he was asleep. She also wondered how long he lay there dormant, could it have been a few hours, or perhaps a few weeks?
“H-How long have you even been out here?” Kuueru quickly followed up her lips pursing after getting out her slew of questions. She was basically interrogating him with niceness; he could just as equally be interested in her as well. How rude.
“I’m sure you can kill her though! If you just believe!”

This woman seemed...okay. Granted, he had just met her, but something about her....wasn't like Lilith. Perhaps it was the fact that several seconds hadn't passed without some dangerous spell? Or maybe something else. Regardless, this woman was interesting him....and her aura was....different. Not to lie, it was pretty oppressive. However, Khoshai reacted to her energy differently than most would. Rather than shrinking back from it, or trying to distance themselves from her, Khoshai was interested, making small noises noting such interest as he would walk around her, as if discovering something new that he wished to study further. When inquired as to whether he was okay, Khoshai looked down at his own body, as if checking for himself. But, Kuu was right. He was quite the perfect creature, the burned red skin that he sported before now pink and smooth. Hell, even his pants were in pristine condition. It was as if the boy had never fought before a day in his life, although based on their surroundings, such a fact wasn't true. Not true by a long shot. "Bad Witch used bad magic to hurt Kho, Kho kept healing and healing, but Kho couldn't heal anymore, so Kho fell asleep! But now I'm good as new! And one day, I will beat the witch!" The kid said excitingly as the last vestiges of his aura died down, seemingly unconcerned with the show of force...or perhaps not even fully aware of it in the first place. Finally deciding to sit back down in the middle of the crater, Khoshai prepared to answer her onslaught of questions. "I live by myself, Miss Kuu! Majin Khoshai wanted to explore Earth, so he left parents and traveled around! But I didn't want to just fight meanies, but they all wanna fight Kho! And.....I dunno how long I've been here...." Khoshai trailed off, confused. However, the confusion was justifiable. He was asleep for the entire time, so he had no concept of how long he was out for. "My turn to ask questions! Majin Kho knows your name, but why are you here? This used to be a playground for Majin Kho, but it's not anymore...because big meanie destroyed it!" Granted, the destruction of the ruins was most certainly a team effort, yet the fine details were irrelevant at this point, when dealing with such a simple minded child.

Kuueru stood there, in the most non-threatening way she could muster. Her arms lay limp by her sides, her face dull--expressionless, but not angry. Her sullen purple orbs locked onto the pink lad as he began looking her up down, and then even circled around. She felt as if she were on display in a museum for a moment from the weird “oohs” and “ahs” that escaped Khoshai’s mouth.
“This witch, she lived obviously; but, do you even know how to go about finding her now?”
A simple question, as the majin boy took a seat once more. She decided to join him, sitting opposite of him in the weird, yet strangely comfortable crater. Perhaps it was the innate and dark energy of this environment augmenting her moods or power.
“M-Miss?” Kuueru felt her cheeks fluster. She wasn’t used to such formalities, let alone being called by a shortened version of her label. Kuu---was an interesting one, but she didn’t bother bringing up her unease to the innocent child. After all, it wasn’t something he did intentionally.
“All by yourself! Well, I mean, you’re certainly seem to be getting yourself into trouble somehow. I can’t imagine why someone would want to start hurling evil spells your way, it’s not like you did anything to provoke them...right?”
Kuueru questioned with a weary expression painting her sun-kissed face. However, with her questions all depleted, Kho decided to flip the script on her. Curiously, he returned one of her questions. He asked why she was there, to be frank it was tough to explain herself, but ---she would try for the boy nonetheless.
“Well, it’s honestly all over the place. You’re on Earth, causing major explosions and magic to be fired off. People are going to take notice, that’s for sure. I came to investigate, but I also garner a hobby for collecting things of magic, especially those of dark magics. Perhaps I’m a bit of a treasure hunter, perhaps a petty theft.” She paused for a moment as her brain tried to process her next sentence.
“Well, I suppose you’ll have to find you a new playground then. I’m sorry to hear that, I’m sure you’ll be able to find so many wonderful places to play here on Earth. How many more lie off of this world though? Aren’t you curious?”
Kuueru waved towards the sky overhead as she spoke. She took was obsessed with Earth when she first had the opportunity to explore the mortal realm. She stuck around the rock for a while, but soon was drug to other places in the galaxy. She tried foods from all over the universe now; having teleportation abilities helps to make that easier on the demoness at least.
She realized it might have sounded strange to explain herself as a collector of magical things; she could only hope he didn’t relate her to the 'Bad Witch' based on that tiny detail. The woman cleared her throat and continued to sit there awkwardly with the child. She rarely spent time with others, let alone a boy nearly----Let’s not get into her age…

When it came to social queues, Khoshai was a lost cause. As Kuueru spoke to him, Khoshai found himself listening to her, while happily bouncing around in his nice, comfy....crater. As he listened, he also seemed to be humming to himself, dancing to his own internal rhythm while sitting. Fortunately for Kuueru, he did not have such foresight to connect her hobbies with that of the witch that he had fought. During the course of the battle, Khoshai did not learn of the witch's hobbies, nor did he even attempt to delve into the endless realm of possibilities for her being present at the ruins in the first place. To him, all that mattered was the fact that she had done wrong by him, and how much he didn't like that. Thus, she was safe from such concerns popping into his head. Majin Khoshai too, had a fascination with Earth, but that fascination had been rapidly diminishing in recent weeks, due to the amount of "mean" people he had experienced. To be fair, the antagonizing had been on both ends with all of his fights, with Khoshai doing his fair share of the antagonizing. Yet, the child would rather absolve himself of all guilt than even lean towards admittance of it. Thus, he simply blamed it on humanity! "Khoshai did nothing to cause trouble! But people like hurting me! Maaaaybe, it's because I'm pink! Maybe that's it! I don't see anyone else who is pink! They're just jealous! But I can't help it, I was born pink!" Khoshai lamented, apparently sold on the fact that he is attacked simply because they wish to be pink skinned just like him. "But don't worry! Majin Khoshai will find new playground, and make it bigger and better than any other playground in the universe! And only I will be allowed in it...and maybe people who are nice to me that want to be Kho's friend! Yeah, yeah! Those are the only people who are gonna be allowed inside my big castle playground! And.....maaaaybe it won't even be on Earth! Maybe....Maybe I'll travel the universe to find stuff for my big castle playground. And....and...." The kid seemed to be going off on a tangent, one that would most likely last for several minutes if the child was not stopped and redirected on a conversation path that involved him talking less and listening more. God knows no one wanted to hear his inner fantasies for more than a few seconds. Word Count: 420 | Total Word Count: 3,026 | Queen Kuueru |

Kuueru wasn’t used to talking to such a distracted creature. While she wasn’t sure if Khoshai was listening to her rant, she couldn’t help but worry when he began bouncing around and became distracted by other things. The woman sat in the dirt filled crater, her amethyst eyes locking onto the pink blur of activity. He hummed, and continued to seem absent in the conversation despite her talking his ear off.
For a moment she paused between her words with fear of boring the boy to death. It seemed he had already been through quite the ordeal with the witch, why pester him with questions. Her eyes looked up at the thick pillows of black smoke that coated the sky, and then she found her foot.
Towering over the Majin once more her hands rested in the crooks of her waist. Khoshai was an interesting fellow, but not so much for talking. Perhaps that is why he got into trouble? People mistook his odd behavior and language as a threat? Perhaps they just wanted him to shut up or sit still though.
“Ahhh, so they are prejudice based on your skin color? Ohhh, maybe the dangly thing on your head? That could intimidate them too!” Kuueru teased and pointed at his head. Of course, she wasn’t being malicious, just throwing some more speculation into the conversation. However, she found it odd that he got into such trouble based on her interactions thus far; then again, she had shown the lad nothing but respect thus far.
“New playground though; perhaps you can show me one day when you find it! I--I mean, if you consider me a friend?” Kuueru questioned, but she didn’t push from a commitment from Kho. While she was sure any place he found would be amazing, in fact, she found herself wanting to explore the ruins a bit; maybe at a later date but before the feds showed.
Kho went on to talk about exploring the universe, but then his words seemed to get frantic. The woman’s eyes widened as she nervously looked around for help. However, only the duo stood anywhere in the immediate area. Again, her eyes shot towards the obscured sun.
“I have a bit of a playground myself! So I know it can be fun to have a place to play and relax yeah? Hopefully you can make a lot of new friends! I have quite a few myself, so I know how nice it is,” Kuueru paused and cracked Khoshai a friendly smile. “Say, I consider you my friend! After all, you were nice to me.”

Khoshai acted as if Kuueru had just told him the Gods have arisen and that armageddon was upon humanity at this very instant. "Oooooooooooh!" Khoshai exclaimed, jumping up to his feet once more. "You're right! They're jealous of Kho's headtail! That makes a whole lot of sense! Yup, yup!" Khoshai cheered, reaching a hand up, as if by touching his headtail it would grant him some sort of divine power to inflict upon all mortals. Khoshai smirked evily. Now, whenever anyone approached him, and tried to attack, he'd know why! It was because they want a headtail thingie and they can't get it, so they want his! But he would never let them have it! Ahem. Anyway....After Khoshai got over the "fact" that all his enemies were jealous of his head tail thing, Khoshai decided to process the rest of what Kuu said. And frankly, it gave him an idea. A crazy idea, but the best ideas were crazy! "Ooh! Ooh! Majin Khoshai have an idea! A great idea! Listen, listen!" The bubbly child said, extremely excited about the genius of his plan "Sooooooo, you're Kho's friend! I like you, you're really nice! And you say Kho is your friend, right? And Kho likes traveling with friends! So....what about I travel with you?!" He proposed. "I can see this playgroundof yours, and have a whole lot of fun with people that like me! And then when bad guys come up, Kho makes them dead! You're strong too, so you can kill bad guys that Khoshai can't kill, but I'll try and protect you anyway! It'll be fun, right? And Majin Khoshai is strong, so he can beat up lots of people who would want to hurt us! We'd be impossible to beat! Right? Right?" Khoshai said, getting closer to Kuu, excited to hear her feedback to what he considered the best plan of the year. Word Count: 317 | Total Word Count: 3,343 | Queen Kuueru |

The reaction she got from her joke was rather amusing. He obviously had no sense of sarcasm or the like, seeing as he immediately agreed with her thought that others were jealous of his ‘head-tail’ as he referred to it. The smile on her face had yet to leave, almost eerily at this point.
“Well, at least we have something to blame it on, other than you being pink...I guess,” Kuueru lamented as the boy cheered and went through the motions of stroking his head appendage like it were a genie lamp or crystal ball. Apparently he held it with such regard and now considered it a personal treasure. Though, how scary would it be if his type were hunted just to take one part of their body, almost comparable to the poaching of Earth’s rhinoceroses.
Still Kuueru waited to see if the boy had enough self-discipline to calm himself down and continue the conversation. Surprising enough, he did. The youngling spoke of an idea he had conjured in that pink blob of a head. She patiently waited and listened to his next idea. However, it seemed a bit more complex than anything he had said yet. After explaining his plot he leaned in, his beady eyes glaring up to her anxiously awaiting her response to such a suggestion. While she was always eager to garner more allies, she wondered if bringing along such a naive boy would cause her more harm than good.
She shook the thought and replaced the smile that finally had faded with thought.
“Right, I would say we are both friends then! If you have nothing more you want to do than travel, sure I can show you my playground, but you have to play nice. You wouldn’t like it if someone came to your playground and broke things? Like the bad witch?”
Kuueru warned the boy, with niceness. Perhaps it would be easier to understand her rules if she phrased them simply in ways that were easier for the Majin to process. It would be wreckless of her to bring strangers to Hollow, let alone ones who could blow up entire city sections. Whenever he agreed---the pair could begin their journey in the blink of an eye.

Khoshai was so happy to have made a friend! Believe it or not, the child had never had a friend before. Majins and regular children...often did not mix. Earthlings were not the naturally powerful kind, like other species were. While humans had a higher ratio of spiritual fighters than they had in past centuries, but such a talent was acquired, rather than inherent, as was the case with most of the known universe. As such, Majin Khoshai's idea of "playing nice" and fun times, were often considering dangerous for other children his age. Especially because he, unlike human children, could regenerate from grievous wounds. Human children just died.
Poor humans. So untalented. So pathetic.
Nonetheless, now he had this cool demon lady to be friends with! What a happy day! Khoshai nearly forgot about Lilith at this point, although he was sure to remember her again at some later date. Now, his mind was captivated purely by how fun this day was gonna be now! But...he had to be good.
Khoshai smiled brightly at Kuueru and cheered, absolutely ecstatic about the prospect of going to a private playground!
"Wooohoooo! It's gonna be sooooo fun! But I'll be good! Majin Khoshai is always good! I promise, I promise! I won't break anything! We'll both have lots of fun, and bad witches will never bother us!" Khoshai promised.
Rustles could be heard from the distance, and the sounds of voices. Human voices. Finally, it seemed, the government had established a search party able to force their way through the magical shroud that plagued this place. If Kuu was aware of their surroundings, she would notice that several power levels would pop up across her radar. Relatively small, ranging from the five hundred to two thousand range if one were basing it off a quantitative number. In total, there seemed to be about twelve Ki Signatures, hinting to at least twelve people in this government sanctioned search party. And based on the growing volume of voices, they were rapidly approaching the site of what used to be ruins.
"I sense energy levels ahead! Someone broke through the shroud already!" One voice said above the rest, hinting that the pair had been detected.
Khoshai looked curiously in the direction of the voices, and immediately frowned,"Bad guys? Why does everyone want to disturb Majin Kho? Should I make them dead, Miss Kuu?" He asked, such a dark question asked in such an innocent manner, as if it was as simple as asking to get a drink of water in a schoolhouse.

It appeared that her invitation had impressed the small Majin. He beamed with happiness towards the demoness, although—something was off in the distance. She felt the power levels but continued to listen to the boy’s exciting rants and promises. She shot him an affirmative nod, her body shifting towards the direction of the energy signatures.
“I’m sure you’ll be good my friend! I trust you enough to at least, or else---I’ll punish you,” The woman shot him a fierce glance that soon erupted and dismissed with a bellow of hearty laughter. She was horrible at being intimidating, however—she hoped the boy understood she was merely joking with him and not throwing threats at his head. She smiled once more to reassure him as the sounds of rustling finally caught up to them.
The woman shifted her body towards the noises, her hands digging into her hips as she tried to force the most intimidating look she could muster towards the unknown.
“Heads up Kho, seems we have some company,” the demon warned the pink lad, her fingers motioning towards the shrouded area. Soon soldiers would emerge all armed to the max with powerful energy rifles. They locked their laser pointers upon both Kuueru and Khoshai’s frames, yet they remain hidden amongst the shadows like cowards. Kuueru’s face twisted into a frown as she noticed the red dots upon her vital areas.
“Hm, cowards, they remain in hiding eh?”
Khoshai then inquired if Kuueru wanted him to kill the new combatants. Kuueru pondered for a moment. This would be a perfect opportunity to see how the boy handles combats, especially with enemies who carried weapons that could fire a round off like a Ki user’s energy blast.
“Sure, have some fun! Maybe I’ll join in?” Kuueru chuckled and disappeared into nothingness. She appeared on the backend of the search party, sending them out of the brush and hiding with a big concussive wave of energy. No, it wasn’t enough to kill them, merely push them into the open crater like a bunch of fish in a barrel.
“Oops, sorry guys, didn’t mean to push ya,” Kuueru teased down the hole at the frazzled soldiers. They scrambled for their guns and began firing erratically at anything they could hit that was moving. That included bot her and Kho. She didn’t waste energy dodging the blasts, but let them sizzle out against her own aura.
“You guys! You may wanna aim for the little guy! He’s the one who’s going to tear ya to shreds. Maybe…” She narrowed her eyes and looked towards the lad who seemed eager to kill on command for her. She wasn’t sure why he referred to her as miss, as that wasn’t so much a title in the demon realm. She ignored the minor detail and focused on the fight at hand eagerly.
“I’m placin’ my bet on ya kid!”

Ooh boy, were those guys surprised
The search party never saw it coming. Before they knew it, the concussive force had knocked them forward, sending them tumbling into the open, desolate clearing. Trees were ripped from their roots in the ground and leaves went flying into the open air. The trees eventually found rest several feet away, some leaning dangerously close to falling down into the crater.
"What the hell? There are people here!" One of the men said, standing. All of them looked about the same, dressed in what seemed to be a type of Xeno armor, not unlike the Frieza Force uniforms of old. Attaining such armor was probably a result of Earth's growing fame as a galactic trade hub. In fact, all the government officials wore similar brands of armor, with the exception of one martial artist, who was dressed in a martial arts gi with the symbol of the Crane School written in Kanji upon the front.
"Tsk..." The Crane School warrior said as he turned back, his eyes settling on Kuueru. He was the only one out of the grouping of warriors who did not have an Arm Cannon...as well as the only one who wasn't firing randomly at everything in sight.
"This is a closed off area.The Kingdom of Earth has closed this every off for a full government investigation. If you will not leave...we will eject you." The Crane Warrior threatened, his power level spiking with the end of his sentence, climbing steadily before resting at an even eight thousand, well above the power levels of the others, the highest one among the other eleven soldiers proving to be around one thousand.
And luckily, Kuueru provided him warning of Khoshai's presence, otherwise he would've been killed right there.
-------------------------
"Okay! Majin Khoshai kills bad guys for Miss Kuu! Yaaaaaay!" Khoshai screamed at the top of his lungs before powering up, his violent aura flashing a bright pink as he powered up, his power level easily surpassing thirty thousand, which certainly caused some people to turn their heads, including that of the Crane Warrior.
Shooting off his feet, Khoshai vaulted across the crater, appearing suddenly in front of one of the soldiers, who frantically tried to blast his Arm Cannon at point blank range, only to be punched in the face before he could do so, instantly breaking the man's scouter....along with his face. Not waiting to find out if the man was okay, Khoshai turned in the direction of the nearest soldier, who immediately unleashed a round of energy blasts into the Majin child.
"What the hell is this child? A demon? Restrain him!" The voices of soldiers rose in volume as they grew more frantic. This wasn't what the majority of the group signed up for. They had power levels high enough to withstand the magic shroud which plagued this place, and carried weapons to ward off the crazed wild animals that frequented the region that they had heard about in the reports. They weren't prepared for this level of resistance, especially in the form of actual hostilities!
Especially when one of these motherfuckers was capable of regenerating!
Riddled with holes, Khoshai stepped back, as if he was about to fall on his back. A soft croak slipped past his lips....before his wounds all popped closed, the pink skin around the holes liquefying before filling up the empty space, before solidifying.
"Majin Kho doesn't like meanies! Meanies try and shoot Majin Kho with bad guns. Miss Kuu and I have to go see a playground......"
"So meanies have to die now." Khoshai said, his voice dropping in pitch, becoming rather deep rather suddenly, and filled with malice. The sound of such a deep, masculine voice coming from such a small child.....thing, scared the ever living crap out of the government officials, and they found themselves quickly (and rashly) firing their Arm Cannons repeatedly into Khoshai's center mass, blowing holes throughout the body. However, the Majin quickly regenerated and his aura sparked, enveloping his body in a buffer of sorts, the weak energy blasts being hopelessly absorbed into his aura. Khoshai then opened his mouth and began to inhale large quantities of air, his belly ballooning out to near comical proportions.
Once his stomach was filled to maximum capacity, his body began to crackle with pink electricity, sparks flying and running across the surface of the skin. By this point, the genius soldiers had finally gotten the memo that repeatedly shooting an aura buffer with Arm cannons will not warrant much, and decided to try and flee from the Majin. Yet not before Khoshai released his energy in a violent gust of wind in the form of a scream, sending shockwaves rippling in front of him. The wind, sent in a pressurized stream, rocketed outwards with the gale force of a hurricane, making it so that it hit the soldiers like a truck of impact force, kicking up a massive cloud of dust as the soldiers were sent flying across the clearing, all of them wiped out in one fell sweep.
All except the Crane Warrior.
As the other soldiers fought the Majin, the Crane Warrior was the only one to target Kuueru herself, seeing her as the biggest threat. While he was not aware of how powerful the demoness was, he wasn't exactly the type to care either.
"You and your pet cannot be allowed to continue. Assault of government officials is a federal crime. You will be apprehended accordingly." The Crane Warrior said before raising his hand at Kuueru, his pointer finger sparking alive with a bright yellow light, electricity crackling along his hand as the energy coalesced at the tip of his finger, which served as the focal point. With a grunt of exertion, the Crane Warrior's power level reached a peak of ten thousand as he directed his pointer finger at Kuueru, leveling the finger with Kuu's heart. With a loud "Kiai!", the martial artist released the energy in a powerful golden finger beam, using the signature technique of the Crane School.
"Super Dodon Ray!" He screamed.

Perhaps the demoness used a bit too much force. She watched as both trees, and men were uprooted and sent astray from her blast of raw power. They all scrambled for their weapons as they fell, however---there was one man who stood resiliently. The woman’s eyes grew narrow at the sight, but she sunk into the shadows after her torrent of wind, but it was too late; the warrior had set his eyes upon her with the most cocky expression.
This boy thought that just because he had the ability to manifest and use his key, that he wouldn’t die here today. A laughable thought to the woman, but sincere within his head. He issued her and the Majin threats to leave, and while they were just about to, the threats didn’t settle right with the pink boy and woman. Her arms folded over her chest as she glared towards the Crane school hazbeen.
“Closed off? I didn’t see any walls or fences, sorry about that!” Kuueru shot him a playful smile before her face shifted to a much more serious tone. The stranger flared his power level, not that it was impressive to the woman, however---he was notably the strongest of the pack. While Khoshai dealt with the underlings, she would tend to their arrogant leader.
“Good job Kho!” Kuueru cheered for the pink boy and he then went on his rampage. Meanwhile, it were her time to mince words with this Crane guy.
“Welp, seems like it’s too late for us to leave now that he’s butting heads, why not share a fun spar?” Kuueru posed to the man before hearing him refer to him as her ‘pet’. A wide smile pressed to her lips at the thought of Kho on leash, she dismissed it to save herself from dying of laughing.
“He’s not my pet, I just met him!” Kuueru retorted with a heaving bout of laughter playing on her lips. In the meantime it appeared that her friend was playing the big bad wolf. Huffing and puffing and blowing all of the enemies away with huge buffets of wind and energy. The boy seemed to be having a joyous time despite the potential risk to his life. Such a naivety and innocence may actually help the kid in battle. For now however, Kuueru could only be jealous of his ability to knock the buggers upside the head without a care in the world.
Normally a demon would be capable of such, but Kuueru wasn’t merely a demon. In fact, she was filled with only half of the malice of a normal one. As well as half the blood.
No, she was something much more complex and odd, the blood that tangoed in her veins was both dark, and holy---Kuueru was borne of the fruit of the gods; she was half Shinjin. Such a contrast in her heritages made it difficult for the woman, but in this situation, she tended to lean towards her demonic characteristics. Especially when it came down to a good solid battle.
Her peripheral vision continued to pick up the blur of erratic pink as the boy bounced to and fro beating up the ‘meanies’ who dared stop their plans and fun. She could help but chuckle at his determination, but the Crane warrior hadn’t the time to waste.
“Super Dodon Ray!”
Kuueru jerked her head at the bright energy that crackled from his accusatory finger. She scowled but somewhat felt back for the mortal. He was aiming to kill, his beam aimed for the most precious vital organ in her body, the heart. He pushed the beam out, however--his face and grotesque grunts showed how much effort it was for the man to draw on his powers. Such weaklings shouldn’t be allowed to even toss around ki in such a way; nonetheless the beam of yellow shot forth at the woman. The gap between her and the assault began to close, and with a dismissive swip of the hand she sent the powerful beam into the forest to her right. Trees and ground were torn up and scattered from the excessive energy the boy poured into his attack.
“Hn, tell me mortal---is that the best that you can muster? If so, I’m afraid for you,” Kuueru teased while shooting a fang-filled grin. She was the type to play with her prey before killing it, so being her enemy wasn’t optimal. However, this Crane warrior picked his own battle today, despite the woman’s overbearing aura and energy.
“I could give ya another chance to run,” Kuueru chuckled, however--no words were escaping the man’s mouth. He stood in awe, his eyes wide and mouth agape. His fists trembled seeing his best attack get thrown to the side like child’s play.
That’s when it happened. In pure fear the a small wet spot in the crotch of his jeans expanded and rolled down one of his thighs. He had relieved himself out of terror.
“W-Whoa, did you just….wow,” the woman spoke while pointing out the soiled obi of her opponent. She didn’t even need to attack him, but---what fun would that be?
With tremendous speed she charged appearing on his flank with a sinister grin. “Peek-a-boo”
A wary yet trembling brown orb focused on the pink-haired woman. It didn’t take long, she wasn’t in too much of a mood to soil her own clothing either. She carefully rolled up the long sleeve of her tunic.
“Can’t move? Seems my song worked.”
Perhaps demonic magic or pure fear held the man in place as she raised her arm and slashed it at the back of his neck. There was no blood, no---just the sound of crunching emitting from his cervical spine as she collapsed his brain stem. He stood for a moment before his body feel limp and hit the ground face first. He was alive however, but probably permanently damaged.
“Hm, I wonder what kinda creatures will find you out here, helpless and defenseless?” Kuueru mumbled to the unconscious man who seemed to be fighting even in his state. His eyelids fluttered as she picked his body up and set him against a tree. Meanwhile, the magic crazed creatures of the forest were already circling at the scent of injury.
“Good luck,” Kuueru mumbled before returning to the Majin.
“Seems you handled yourself well my friend, are you ready?” She held a hand out to him.

He did it! He did it!
Khoshai beamed as he heard the groans of pain from the giant mountain of bodies. The attack hadn't killed them, but there were plenty of broken bones and organ ruptures to go around. They certainly weren't gonna be going anywhere anytime soon, but none of their injuries compared to the pain and embarrassment that the Crane Warrior obviously felt.
But things were about to escalate a moment later. He grinned up at Kuueru, extremely pleased at the praise he was getting from the older woman
"Thank you! Kho loves compliments! But it's not done yet! I said I would make them dead!" Khoshai said, revealing his sinister intentions with a constant smile on his face. It wasn't clear whether he understood the severity of what he was doing, or if he did and didn't care. Either way he pointed his finger at the human mountain, and his pointer finger flashed pink with energy. A second later, he fired a finger beam at the gathering, causing a rather large explosion as the energy beam made contact with the downed soldiers, obliterating them completely.
"Woohoo! Majin Kho won! Kho won! Now, we go to see your playground!" Khoshai said cheerfully, turning to Kuueru. Despite obliterating his own enemies, he made no move to finish off the Crane Warrior, having deemed that man as Kuu's opponent. Plus, his power level had dropped to such a point that the Majin child thought the man was dead anyway.
It was near disturbing that the child could so cheerfully go from slaughtering a whole team of people, back to wanting to see Kuueru's "playground" of sorts. How he had such an innocent and carefree look at life, to the point where even murder and destruction was as simple to him as a game.
"I'm happy you beat bad guy too! Not as much as me, but good job!No one can hurt us!" He cheered

Kuueru looked down to the boy who admitted his love for her compliments, however--he still had quite the show to put on. The look that took over his childlike face was fearsome. It reflected the pink energy that formed at his fingertip, which, pointed towards the pile of broken bodies that he had so neatly collected. That was it, a second later they were obliterated into dust and nothingness. The boy bounced around cheerfully while proclaiming his victory and eagerness to now go to the playground.
Meanwhile, she walked away from the Crane warrior who seemed to realize he couldn’t move. A look of fear and panic filled his face as he realized the gravity of the situation. At this point, the man probably wished she had just killed him. Now, if he managed to make it in the forest until help arrived, the rest of his life would be pain and suffering. She chuckled at the thought of his wife wiping his ass, or him unable to play with his offspring. Such suffering brought the woman joy.
“Very well, it’s time,” Kuueru responded before walking towards the pink lad. She held out a single hand, if he would touch it then it was over. Their bodies would disappear, and soon they would be hurling through space and time. The colors were blinding, the sounds nauseating. It was like being in a crowded room, yet a cacophony of all the universe they passed by.
It didn’t take long to the outside, one might say it was instant. However, their odd psychedelic journey felt like it lasted a full minute. However, once they emerged they would find the hidden city of Hollow.
It was a mystical planet shrouded in an air of mystery. The energy here was comparable to that of the demon realm in malice and density. The air was heavy, but within the metropolis lush gardens and structures cities loomed. After her and Lute the Namekian took over the planet, they didn’t change too much. Some citizens decided to leave, but others didn’t know what else to do or where else to go. They remained loyal to the planet and Lute allowed them to continue on as they always did.
The planet was also not open to trade with the entirety of the galaxy. Before secret convoys of supplies would have to be brought in to help sustain the planet, but now--Lute found a way to have extra zeni. Exchanging the magical skills and items of Hollow to off-worlders did bring in a pretty penny.
They hung in the sky over the hustle and bustle. Kuueru’s dull eyes scanned the area, there were schools for magic, places to train. Dummies to hit upon and vent the frustrations. The demoness was unaware of what Khoshai might find interesting, but the world was his playgrounds, literally…
“Welcome to Hollow, this is where I live,” the woman stated with a dull voice. She then looked towards the Majin with a smile.
“There are a lot of magic users on the planet that sustain portals to and from here now. So if you even want to go to and from and explore, that’s your best bet. Otherwise, this is my playground. A place where I can bathe in the dark energy that seeps through here.”

"Whooooooooooaaaa!"
The Majin child immediately stumbled a bit, nearly losing his footing entirely due to the distortion of his body due to the high speed teleportation. However, he hardly paid any mind to such a small fact when such wonders lay before him! In Khoshai's short life, he hadn't seen much besides Earth. Sure, he had ventured to Planet Vegeta in a weird little mission to kill some evil vegetables and save a farm, but that was about as intergalactic as the Earth bound Majin got. So, the sight of something different from the deep blue oceans and the metropolitan cities was something exciting for the lad!
Khoshai didn't know where to begin. Whether to go and run towards the rather impressive gardens or to find some local children to create a game with! The possibilities were nearly endless. He looked back at Kuueru and grinned, and began to run. However, he made it only a few steps before he lost balance and fell on his face. Naturally, one would consider this an act of clumsiness on the child's part, but further question could be drawn when Khoshai pushed himself up. He was quick to stand, but found himself wobbling to one side, almost as if he would lose his balance again.
"Ah...?"
Majin Khoshai was having some form of adverse reaction to the demonic energy present, the mere intake of it proving detrimental to the boy. It was one thing for demons, for they were bred in an environment of constant malicious energy such as this in the air, and their bodies had adapted to the point where they could draw upon such energy and use it to fuel them. However, Khoshai was born on Earth, and Kuueru was the first demon he had ever met, his only experience with anything that could be considered "dark" being Lilith's dark sorcery. Yet, the Nevermore's magic was nothing compared to this level of concentration. Hell, it was considered a feat within itself that the pink boy was not suffering anything beyond confusion and an extreme loss of coordination. Something that could probably be attributed to the unique Majin anatomy, and their capability to heal and correct anomalies within the body, as well as their complete control over their own body and life functions. His body must be subconsciously countering the demonic energy, to keep Khoshai from exhibiting worse symptoms. But, of course...Khoshai was not aware of such a development, nor would he probably be able to fully understand the nuances and mystical jargon that could perhaps explain such an interesting phenomena.
Which is a pity, for it would make such a lovely science experiment.
"Why...can't....Majin Khoshai....walk?! Kho feels....funny! I don't like this! This place is pretty but it makes Kho feel weird! Khoshai don't wanna be in a place that makes Kho feel weird!" Majin Khoshai vented, quickly growing frustrated with his own body. Pink colored steam began to shoot from his pores, in what could be considered the tell tale sign of anger and frustration. He didn't understand what was happening....or better yet why it was happening.

“Whooooooa,” the boy’s voice was mixed with surprise and shock. Truly, the first time someone had experienced a teleportation spell or skill was pure torture upon the body. Still, Khoshai seemed to handle himself despite the twisting that may be in his---stomach? Did he have one of those?
However, his reaction to Hollow wasn’t precisely what the demoness was expecting. He stumbled, almost like someone who had a stroke. His entire demeanor and body language screamed that something was wrong. It was true, Kuueru hadn’t thought much about how the overwhelming and dark energy could affect someone---well---who wasn’t used to it.
So far only her and Lute were the only ones who had visited the vile planet aside from natives. Therefore, she hadn’t thought about the effects on others. Suddenly, she felt guilty as she watched the boy bob around like a sick fish. She felt responsible for his ailments, and when he so pitifully asked for them to return to somewhere, anywhere else--she had to oblige.
“It’s a shame you aren’t compatible here, fret not. I will return you to Earth for now,” Kuueru mumbled before her voice shifted to some unknown language. She weaved the incantations without hesitation and behind Khoshai would form a rift in time and space. Unlike the ritual she had just performed, she wouldn't have to make the trek back with the Majin. Instead, once he stepped through he would be returned to Earth and from which they came.
Perhaps he could even check on the Crane warrior she had left to wilt or be eaten alive. Either way, she wasn’t sure what she would see of the boy in the future. She only hoped he used his power, and gained even more. That came with hard life lessons and major goals.
