Training while seperated: Aftermath Two Days Before the Tournament

Kakarot just finished sparring with the six multiform versions of himself for the last time and getting in as much as he could for additional sparring. Assimilating them all back into himself and digesting everything they experienced one last time.

A lot needed to be checked over in the actual field. But Kakarot was very happy.

His Aspects were shooting up a large degree from what happened. Not to mention the boost from his Spirit, Ki, and Magic from being seperated so long and the boost caused by Saiyan Power as he almost did die a few times.

The six had improved the martial arts to a large degree as well as making sure everyone in his territories was safe. The increase of all the civilians had jumped to the bare minimum of 140 for children and old-timers. Whether it was their Magic or ki, it did not matter at this point.

"Haaaaaa!" Kakarot Powered Up to his full state in the magically protected room. His Ki was way more than what was possible in just the Dragonball Timeline but still on the Lower end of Dragonball Z. 'The only good thing about what she has caused. Still lost out on the various skills to pick up and master while planning accordingly.'

"Proceed to the next step." Pilaf said into the microphone behind the protection glass. The various kiddos were watching closely. Faces pressed against the glass itself. "So far, all of the equipment has no trouble reading any of it."

Trying to use the Dark King Aura without the full achievement was dangerous. His Magic swirled over his skin before seeping into the muscles. Trying to flow it with his Ki had continued to cause a backlash effect.

*Fwoosh!* Black Red wind brushed his hair back wildly, then caused his inflated muscles from Bulk Up to wiggle about. Kakarot gritted his teeth and bared the pain trying to hold on fully. But a strong force of rejection stopped the entire process.

"Whew!" Exhaling as he relaxed, a smile was plastered on the Champions' face. He was still standing this time and capable of thinking. Unlike the last few times that left him paralyzed and stopped lung function. "How did it read?"

"Your magic completely vanished and caused your Ki to jumped up to a weird amount compared to normal." Pilaf kept looking over everything before, but the current reading was clear enough for now. "301,444 for Ki with no Magic whatsoever. Then at the end, 602,888. Your Magic amplified your Ki but also has burned away some of it afterward again."

"Despite all the damage it should have caused your body.. the scans don't show any change to it improving. I think there is a problem with it with your genetics compared to what you have told me before." Bulma stated her theory. "Unless it is something to developing from the recent changes."

"I see." Kakarot did some movements to remove any lingering stiffness. "So I have a Hail Mary shot against.." A wave of Magic assaulted from within as his entire body seized up again. "...!"

Kakarot's tail and entire breathing became stiff as can be. Even his thinking stopped before starting once more a few minutes later.

"That lasted longer than last time." Pilaf looked at a screen that showed brainwave activity. The long stream of nothing was scary to see for a living person. Seeing the beeping that showed immediate activity, he sighed. "Haa, I think we stopped any possible training with the techniqine until later."

"Hah!" Taking a breath, he felt sick to his stomach. "I... just saw King Yemma... Did.. I just die?"

"Not bad at all. It was worth having them train across the World and Other World. You yourself were able to focus on Magic and Spirit development while having safe births. The Tournament is an easy win in your current state but.." Towa floated over and tossed a towel to him.

"But what?" Wiping his face, the but was always a problem.

"No, the fact you are this far is good. But.. it is because you have not attained the Dark King Aura fully. Each time you have tried, another energy is made that cannot be accessed as you are currently." Her scepter pointed to his chest as the Majin Mark lit up and then moved to the middle of his forehead with the Timebreaker Mark lighting up inside his eyes. "The Dark Factor energy is made... you are not really dying since it is just your life force leaving and then coming back to you."

"Then why did I see King Yemma?"

"A type of Astral projection mostly likely." Towa floated around, circling him like an interesting lab rat. "Your regular power and magic are not bad; I suggest you only use that in emergency for now."

"Hmm, a trump card.." He rubbed his chest but looked to the kids giving a thumbs up that he was fine. ".. enough watching, go and finish your homework already. If Popo says any of you fail a test, know more ice cream for a week."

"Aww, man!" Ruby jumped down from the glass, grumbling. "I hate studying!"

"It will be fine, just cheat off of Topaz." Lapis nudged her with a grin.

"Yeah. say that loud enough for keen ears to hear you, dummy." Lazuli frowned, shaking disappointed. "Just study, and you will be fine."

"But its so boring!' Ruby still grumbled. "I rather train!"

"I will make sure to wake you early to help with the studying before the test. Be happy the next one is after the Tournament." Topaz said quietly.

A little better at talking up after counseling by Kakarot and Kami. Paopao was still coming around, but she smiled a little more.

"The upcoming threats.. what to do?" Kakarot floated a little, feeling light as a feather and very relaxed muscle-wise.

"Not many threats on Earth to tackle just yet, Dr.Whelo is still beyond you currently, but not the inhabitants of the Dead Zone. However, let the others lead that operation and take care of it. The Makyo Star is such a troublesome thing in the wrong hands, but if you take control of it and the Dead Zone, it can be linked to the Demon Realm we own. Creating a way between Worlds."

"Come again?" Kakarot's tail swished about happily.

"Owning all three, you can use the Dead Zone as the Bridge for the Demon Realm Devil's Hand and Makyo Star as its Sun. The excess energy can be used to spread your Internal Space by leaps and bounds."

Towa showed him the graphs that were so far into Quantum Entanglement, Kakarot was giddy with excitement at the possibilities. The work involving the Dark King Aura could wait until later.

"As well as strengthen the Dimensional Fabric further. Even possible to move this Dimension about from its current orbit. It would be slow, but puts distance between the coming threat." His eyes looked over every bit of the work studying it in detail. "A lot of this resides on my Magic and me being a lot stronger, though. Even having the others take care of this as you suggest is only a means to test them, it seems."

"Yes, you can not be a Dark King without strong subjects." Towa's eyes flickered a bit. He was still much weaker than her Magic wise especially. "I won't help you if you start coddling them."

"I haven't done so yet." Kakarot narrowed his eyes at her accusation. It was a bit of a challenging look as he found the Saiyan instincts had increased with his power advancement. "Like you are one to talk, the Magic Training you subjected the others to is nowhere near what you put me under."

"Humph!" Towa turned away curtly. This was true, but they were not him. "They are they, and you are you! Different strokes for different folks!"

"Right, just admit you are liking the teaching, it suits you greatly." Kakarot smiled and looked back at the work on the screen. "It is good to worry, but we are people to count on, I have increased my Spirit a good deal and have learned a lot. When the time comes to deal with Machikubra and the other one, I will make sure to be ready for them to."

Towa could feel the truth in his words but wouldn't admit out loud she was trusting him to do so. Her own strength had risen a lot. Vengeance kept her driven, but the people she found herself surrounded by helped her grow as an individual. Her Magic rose steadily, but she gained a better value of Ki than before.

"It is time." Towa turned the screen off, and bopped Kaakrot on the head with her Spear Staff. He was out like a light. "Gonna need some samples from this body of yours since it is whole currently. Time for you to polish up the Multiform further with a good plan to find its flaws."

Kakarot's Intuitive Adaptability prevented the Multiforms from even remotely developing different personality traits. His Spirit energy consumption for them had decreased significantly when used before, but they were still just that, him in every way that he could limit to certain parts of himself to train better.

With the Egg Laying, he could create a new life form by cutting a piece of his Spirit off. But the bare minimum would have to be at least a 1000 to make sure they lived long enough for adulthood. The later part was a theory so far and not put into practice since they would also have to train themselves in Ki to.. well help live.

"Getting close to getting some of what I want." Towa placed Kakarot on the table and started to extract various tissue samples for use. Her transformation into a Saiyan had started to become harder to change and actually took a great deal of magic to do so. "I should do this when I move about in the outside only."

Despite her words, she didn't change back to her original form. Her tail even interlocks with Kakarot's. The lab was quiet as the experiments were conducted. Anyone popping in would have seen the two smiling happily.

Pilaf came over with some readings but turned around after seeing the situation. Most of the others had taken to other work. With much to do before the Tournament still.

.

Next day, flight around the planet-

.

Kakarot was currently flying over the planet. Checking over every location one last time for the Black Water Mist traces. Spreading the Divine Water here and there at the smallest clusters and even mixed it into the clouds with his Magic to make sure.

Behind him were Ruby, Topaz, Lapis, and Lazuli. With Launch, one of the few people they respected besides Hasky and Bulma came with for some fun. Also, the same three people that treated them the least like kids after what they had been through.

Landing down below at a small area, he couldn't help but frown. The others as well at sight before them. A lot of evil energy had seeped into the ground. Thick energy is coming up visible on the scouters.

"The weather cast..." Kakarot checked it over for the weather patterns the last few days, then the last few weeks, then months finally. ".. no rainfall this entire time. Not enough to matter anyway."

"What's this place called?" Hasky asked. She was wiping her brow for the heat of the sun and exertion to keep up. 'These kids are just to energetic, doing all those twirls and loops. Haa, I need to practice more.'

"This is Fiend Village. A Gate to the Demon Realm is not to far away. The area had no reports of trouble, so it was left alone for the most part. The Gate remained close... unless something changed, we didn't detect."

*Schup!* Towa and Pasta appeared with a frown on their faces beside Kakarot.

"Might not solve quick enough; the tourney is tomorrow, so let's not risk anything." She was not taking the situation lightly, but the tourney was more critical. "Let Pasta infiltrate and give a look around."

"Can we go to?" Ruby asked. The other kids trying to figure out why she would want to do so but said nothing at their weird friend.

"I don't mind." Pasta smirked. "But send some of the demons to act as muscle for me. Try playing a business heiress looking to expand with her family."

Kakarot nodded since what he did know about the place, the Demon Shula was not that strong Ki wise, but had some powerful magic. He also had a plan for some other backup besides the demons under his control.

Leaving them to this, he left to continue on his flight. Towa went to get the demons to come back, only those with the stronger Transformation down pat.
