"ARGH!! Will you two stop it?!" Ryver yelled.
The two Vegetas stopped and looked at her, then went back to arguing.
"That's it! I'm
going to my sister's house!" Ryver said, running out of the kitchen and
through the front door.
"Wait for
me!" Rapyd said, running after Ryver.
Rapyd ran up to Ryver as they were walking next door.
"Jeeze, those
two are worse than Lin and Zegeta!" Ryver said.
"Yea I know. He
wasn't like this before. But I guess he didn't live with someone who looks
exactly like him," Rapyd said as they walked up the path to Ryver's
sister's house. Ryver nodded as she rang the doorbell. A minute passed.
"Gosh, that
girl better not still be in bed!" Ryver exclaimed.
"Try
again," Rapyd suggested. Ryver rang the doorbell again. Still no answer.
"Okay, fine
then," Ryver said, pulling a key out of her pocket and unlocking the door.
"You know, we're
still wearing our pajamas," Rapyd pointed out as they walked into Ryver's
sister's house.
"It doesn't
matter. One house is empty and some guy that sounds remarkably like Vegeta
lives in the other house. So there's only four houses on this street," Ryver
said as they walked down the front hallway.
"Rayne! Are you
home?" Ryver called out.
"Is Rayne your
sister?" Rapyd asked.
"Yea,"
Ryver said. "Rayne! Get your butt down here!" The two walked upstairs
to Rayne's room.
"Jeeze! She
doesn't even make her bed anymore!" Ryver said, pointing to Rayne's bed.
"Yea, but how'd
she get out of her bed without throwing back the covers?" Rapyd said.
"Very
carefully. She must have gone out somewhere. Although, knowing her, she would
never go anywhere this early," Ryver said.
"Oh well. I'm
sure she'll be back soon," Rapyd said as they walked back downstairs. They
walked back outside, and back to Ryver's house.
"That's weird.
We actually got mail," Ryver said, opening the mailbox.
"Oh. It's for
you," Ryver said, reading the envelope.
Rapyd-
I need
you to visit to me as soon as possible. Bring the two Vegetas and Ryver along.
Tell Ryver that it involves her sister. We have a major problem.
-Ferio
Rapyd gasped.
"What is
it?" Ryver asked, looking over Rapyd's shoulder.
"Ferio says
that we have a major problem. He says that I should bring you and the Vegetas
along too," Rapyd explained.
"Okay. But
who's Ferio? And where does he live?" Ryver asked.
"Ferio is the
guy that made the Dimension Key. He also watches every dimension to make sure
there are no problems. He lives in another dimension," Rapyd said.
"A major
problem? We'd better get the Vegetas then," Ryver said as they walked back
up to the front door. They walked back inside, and back into the kitchen where
the two Vegetas were still arguing away.
"Guys
STOP!!" Rapyd yelled.
"Vegeta-sama!
Vegeta-chan! Listen up! Ferio says that something major is going on, and it has
something to do with Rayne!" Ryver said quickly.
"Who's
Ferio?" Vegeta-sama asked. Ryver and Rapyd sighed.
"Just come with
us!" Rapyd said, running back outside. As soon as they all were out there,
Rapyd said, "Dimension Key Power," as her body glowed golden and the
Dimension Key appeared in her hand.
"Dimension Key Power Transport us to
the world between dimensions!" Rapyd yelled out. A Dimension portal appeared in front of
them.
"Just step in
the portal," Rapyd explained.
"Why don't you
go first?" Vegeta-sama asked.
"Because as soon as I step through the portal
closes," explained Rapyd.
"Oh.
Okay," Vegeta-sama said, stepping through the portal. Vegeta-chan stepped
through, then Ryver, and finally Rapyd. The portal closed, and they were on
their way to another Dimension.
The group landed
with a thud. Ferio stood over them.
"Ah, so you
must be Ryver," Ferio said, helping Ryver off the floor.
"And this must
be Vegeta-sama," Ferio pointed at the adult Vegeta. Ryver nodded. The rest
of the group picked themselves off the floor.
"Hey
Ferio," Rapyd greeted. Ferio nodded.
"I called you
all here because of something very serious that's going on. As you noticed this
morning, Rayne, Ryver's sister, was missing. But she's not the only one,"
Ferio explained.
"Where's my
sister?" Ryver growled, picking Ferio up by his collar.
"I...was...just...getting...to...that..."
Ferio gasped. Ryver put him down.
"Based on these
disappearances, it can only mean one thing. Shinma has been re-released,"
Ferio said gravely.
"Shinma? But
isn't that Japanese for part god, part demon?" Rapyd asked.
"Yes, it is.
But contrary to the Japanese definition, the Shinma I'm referring to isn't part
god at all. He's all demon, and he can travel between Dimensions like you,
Rapyd," Ferio continued.
"So what does
this Shinma have to do with my sister?" Ryver asked.
"Shinma travels
around Dimensions, absorbing women for energy," said Ferio.
"Why women? And
why does he need energy?" asked Rapyd.
"No one knows
why he only absorbs women. He needs energy so he can transport himself to other
Dimensions. So once he's absorbed enough energy he travels to another Dimension
to get more energy. It's a never-ending cycle, and that's why he has to be
stopped," Ferio said.
"So what
happened to all the women he absorbed? And my sister?" Ryver asked
nervously. Ferio hung his head.
"When Shinma
absorbs women, he takes their energy, nothing more. So the bodies still exist.
He transports the bodies to his Dimension where they rot away, for there is no
one to save them," Ferio said sadly.
"But there has
to be a way to save Rayne," Ryver said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I can just
make a portal to his Dimension and then we can just go there and get
everyone!" Rapyd chirped up. Ferio shook his head.
"The Dimension
that he lives in is so evil, there is no way to make a portal to it. I'm afraid
the only one who can travel to Shinma's Dimension is Shinma himself,"
Ferio replied, downheartedly.
"Hmm...There
has to be something we can do!" Rapyd said, tension in her voice.
"I've already
tried to think of ways to do something, and no matter what you did, you still
wouldn't be able to save Rayne and the others," said Ferio.
"Couldn't we
just destroy him?" Rapyd offered.
"And cut off
your only link to his Dimension?" Ferio shot back. Vegeta-chan looked up.
What happens if we capture Shinma
again?" Vegeta-chan said. Ferio sighed.
"Six hundred
years ago, Shinma was released into your world. No one knew who released
Shinma. Shinma had been kept in 3 disks scattered over eight Dimensions. That's
when I made the Dimension Key. The only way to capture Shinma again is to
gather all the disks together again. And would be kind of hard to gather the
disks together if you couldn't travel between Dimensions. So I chose Rurika, a
Saiyan. She successfully gathered all of the disks and captured Shinma. Now,
600 years later, Shinma has been released again by another evil,"
explained Ferio.
"So all we have
to do is get all of the disks?" Rapyd asked.
"Not exactly.
First you must gather all of the disks, and then you must find Shinma,"
said Ferio.
"Okay then,
lets go!" Rapyd shouted.
"Wait, take
this," Ferio said, tossing a watch-like object at Rapyd.
"It'll tell you where the disks are!" Ferio added.
"Cool. Dimension Key Power Create a portal to
my home dimension!" Rapyd yelled. A portal appeared, and they stepped though
to another Dimension.
"Okay...so
we're back home again," Vegeta-sama said, standing in front of his house,
looking clueless.
"Yea...we kinda
need to think some things over...," Rapyd said.
"Think things
over!?" Ryver exploded. "MY SISTER IS SITTING AROUND IN SOME
DIMENSION ROTTING AWAY AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINKING THINGS OVER?!"
"Well, um, yea.
Like what you're gonna do with your kids and what Dimension we're gonna start
looking for those disks in," Rapyd said, meekly. Ryver clenched her fists.
"RAHHH!!! I am
not going to leave the kids here all by themselves!" Ryver screamed.
"Well they
can't come with us; we have enough people as it is," Rapyd said. Ryver
growled.
"FINE THEN!
Vegeta-sama, you're staying here!" yelled Ryver, pointing at Vegeta-sama.
Vegeta-sama blinked.
"Me?!"
Vegeta-sama said innocently, putting his hand on his chest. "I thought the
other Vegeta was Vegeta-sama." Ryver walked calmly over and slapped
Vegeta-sama's head.
"Don't play
dumb," Ryver said. Vegeta-sama rubbed his head.
"Ow..."
"Yes
well...um...," Rapyd stuttered, looking down at the little watch thing
Ferio gave her. "Look. The watch is showing us where the next Dimension
is," Rapyd said, holding out the watch. The group gathered around as a
sort of movie sequence was playing. It showed a lot of people going around with
swords chopping people up. Rapyd and Ryver's faces paled.
"We're going...
there?!" Ryver exclaimed, pointing at the watch.
"I don't wanna
get chopped up into little pieces!!" Rapyd yelled. The two Vegetas raised
their eyebrows at each other.
"You could just
stay here," Vegeta-sama offered.
"But then I
guess there would be no hope for Rayne," added Vegeta-chan.
"WHAT?! Fine
then. Rapyd, use your little Key thing," Ryver said. Rapyd nodded.
“DIMENSION KEY
POWER! TAKE US TO THE DIMENSIOON ON FERIOS DIMENSION WATCH!” Rapyd yelled. Ryver, Vegeta-chan,
and Rapyd stepped through the portal to the new Dimension.
