Prologue
A story of love, rebirth, and so much more! Here is the back-story to our character’s very existences! Ichi is Atarashii, Ni is Taihen, San is Judaiko. It is Japanese for one, two, and three! Cool eh? Later!
Ni gripped her staff hard as she looked out of her palace window. Something was coming, something evil and cruel. The goddess of fire was frightened; the first time in a many a hundreds of years. Ni was the one of the three that guarded the hallowed sphere of Kaioshin-kai, the home of the highest gods. She and her sisters, San and Ichi, were the last of the First. They were named so because they were the very first intelligent race to appear anywhere in the real world. They had white skin, very long ears, and a colored diamond in their forehead granting them psychic powers. The race had lasted millions of years, from the birth of First Kai to now. Nevertheless, the planet on which they called home had been destroyed hundreds of years ago. They were a dying race, soon to be dead. The youngest of the three guardians, Ichi, came in. In her late teens, the goddess of earth was still young and was still learning to control her abilities. “Ni, something’s bothering you. What is the matter?” Ni turned to her younger sister. “I need you to get San. I have something of the greatest urgency to tell you both!”
After San and Ichi returned, Ni drew them to the counseling chamber of the gods. No one was there but them. The Kaioshins and servants were outside, enjoying a peaceful day. “Sisters,” Ni began. “I have seen the future. I saw our deaths and the deaths of all the gods except the East Kaioshin. Buu will come here shortly along with the wizard Bibidi.” San, the goddess of water, drew back. Her watery voice quivered as she said, “Is not there a way we can stop them sister? Are you sure on this prophecy?” Ni nodded. “My visions have never failed me and I do not doubt this one. We are to die at the hands of Majin Buu. Majin Buu will eventually be stopped, but he will appear again a million years in the future. He is again defeated by a handful of people from the race called Saiyans. I have meditated on this, but I see no way to stop this vile creature. We are to perish and join our ancestors.” Silence settled in as the three women hung their heads in defeat. Suddenly, Ichi swung her head back up, rippling her flowing gold hair. “I think I know what we can do!” Her elders looked at her curiously. “You do?” “Yes, I do! The First have the ability to split, correct?” Her sisters nodded. “Can we not make it so we leave a part of ourselves behind and be reborn in the future when Majin Buu appears again?” San and Ni jumped up as if someone had kicked them. “Yes, I think that we could! It is possible.” San cried out in excitement. Lowering her voice, she said, “Should we tell the gods?” Ni shook her head. “No. I believe that should they know of this, they will still perish. Our only hope is to put our essences away safe, and fight with honor.” Her sisters nodded. Ichi materialized a special bottle to hold their purity. Putting it on the table, the three sisters joined hands. They chanted quickly in the old tongue. The bottle began to shake and the women glowed like fireflies, each in their own color. Ni’s essence appeared in the bottle first, making the bottom-half red. Then San’s joined it, filling part of it blue. Young Ichi’s purity was the last, filling the rest a light purple. After a few moments to catch their breath, Ni said, “We must go now. Buu will appear any moment.” She picked up the bottle and materialized a stopper on it. “Wait!” Ichi made a piece of paper along with an inkbottle and three pens. “We should write down on what to do with it and leave it to Grand Kai. If I know Higashi, he will forget it. He always overlooks the minor things.” “You are right, Ichi.” The guardians each wrote what was to become of them, and then they signed the document, taping it to the bottle.
The last of the First walked out of the palace into the bright glare of the orbiting planets. They walked out to where they would put the bottle in sight for the Grand Kai, but safely hidden from Buu and his master. Their melancholy looks were darkened, knowing the grass they walked upon would soon taste the purest of blood. “Here.” Ichi put it down on the ground in a small pothole. Ni looked to the sky, her 6th sense bothering her worse than ever before. “We should go now. I sense Majin Buu close by.” Suddenly, they heard yells of combat in the distant hills. Jumping into the air, the trio flew as fast as their bodies allowed them. They came upon the battlefield and gasped. Kita and Nishi Kaioshin lay dead, Higashi was unconscious, laying in the side of a mountain, and Dai and Minami were fighting the evil pink monstrosity, but with no success. It was amazing how much Buu looked like Dai. Bibidi could be seen farther off cheering his pet on. A bloodied Dai released a blast from his mouth and it flew towards Majin Buu. The fat man only grinned and sucked in air, pulling the blast into his mouth. Minami and Dai stood in shock as the demon fired the blast right back at them, blowing them into oblivion. “Dai Kaioshin! Minami!” Ichi cried. “We have to save Higashi!” San said as she ran towards the last god. Buu stood over Higashi, preparing the final blast. Pointing her staff at the beast she cried, “Tidal Surge!” A wave of water shot from the end of the staff and hit Buu in the chest, sending him flying. Ni joined her sister and aimed her staff at the still soaring Buu. Ichi ran over to the still unconscious Higashi and held his head in her lap. “Sire, sire wake up!” Higashi’s eyes fluttered carefully open and Ichi sensed his unbearable pain. “I-Ichi?” Ichi nodded. “Yes, sire, it is I.” Higashi gently nodded his head, and then lapsed back into unconsciousness. Ichi looked up and saw that her siblings were having a hard time keeping Buu at bay. No matter what they did, their attacks had little effect on the huge creature. Carefully laying Higashi back down, Ichi leapt up to join her sisters. “Are you ready, my sisters?” The women nodded and all three pointed their staves at Buu. “Cherry Blossom Blizzard!” “Tidal Surge!” “Super Gothic Flame!” The three blasts combined and shot at Buu, hitting him in the chest and blowing a hole in the creature. Buu fell to the ground, seemingly defeated. Just when the sisters were about to rejoice, Ichi saw something move. Pointing, she cried, “Buu! He’s alive!” The other two looked and gasped. Buu was indeed alive and well! He had somehow regenerated and stood back up with a wicked grimace on his face. “Sisters…” Ni said mournfully. “I have seen this scene. We are to die. Let us die with honor.” “Is there nothing we can do to stop this, Ni?” asked San. Ni shook her head. “No, we are doomed. Higashi will live on and avenge our deaths and we will live on in our future selves. Fare thee well, my friends!” San and Ichi nodded and the last of the First joined hands, accepting death as Buu released an enourmous blast and reduced them to cinders. And so was the fate of the guardians of Kaioshin-kai and the goddesses of the elements. Higashi indeed did survive, and lived on going by the name of Kaioshin. He destroyed Bibidi and sealed away the titan Buu, hiding his sphere on Earth, where he believed it to be safe and concealed. However, even he was mistaken…
1 million years later. “Ha ha ha ha!” A vile and cruel voice echoed throughout the spaceship belonging to Babidi, the son of the wizard Bibidi. “At last, I have found where that rat Kaioshin hid my father’s creation, Majin Buu!” Dabura, his newest henchman, stood next to his side. “Yes, master! Now we can finally begin our plan! The universe will tremble before your might!” Babidi cackled to himself. “And if I know that slime who passes as a god, he’ll come to investigate, and then I’ll kill him, restoring the honor in the name of Majin!” Again, the wizard’s insane laugh filled the ship as they began their trek towards a small blue planet called…Earth.
At that very second, a small jar deep in one of the rooms in Grand Kai’s palace shook viciously until it crashed to the floor. Three different colors escaped from the jar; one red, one blue, and the last purple. The first two rushed away at top speed, but the purple spirit hesitated for an unknown reason. After a few minutes, it too left for the planet on which the revival of Buu would take place. Earth.
