Last time on Dragon Ball ZX

Shanae was taken from the group after showing an unknown power in front of everyone in the dining hall making others speechless. Okara now wants to prove herself worthy of the time powers by challenging her to the trial but others are concerned for Shanae's safety as they never knew the unknown power or what rare species she is. But they do know that something is fishy about the trial that is about to happen as they now watch to see the events unfold.

Flute POV

I was walking through the halls with the group and the other gods and goddesses to the trial room and also next to Piccolo when I heard whispering and chatting between the gods and goddesses. "So what are they gonna do at the trial?" "It's gonna show Okara fighting the opponent she chose in which Shanae will be the opponent since she was Okara's choice." "But it's not fair! Shanae didn't mean to show it! She's just bad at handling that power!" "Dear, dear, don't worry, we only have one rule and that is not to kill the opponent." "But what if she gets life-lasting injuries because of this trial?! I can't forgive myself if that happens."  "Shasai, Shanae is one of the strongest people I know. Sure she has some weak points...but she has a very strong spirit so don' you forget it." I cheered up Shasai as she wiped her tears away and said, "You're right. I should focus more on Shanae's spirit than her well-being." we all made it into the room with seats around the area while there was a force field surrounding the arena where Okara was.

"You remember the plan?" Pepper whispered to me as I nodded then we turned around to face Aiones on her throne then announced saying, "Welcome gods and goddesses and also mortals! Today is the second part of the Inauguration which is the trial." As everyone clapped then she spoke again saying, "Today, we have my lovely daughter Okara here to prove herself if she's worthy of handling my power by fighting against my former accessor, Shanae." we all held in our outburst but clapped anyway. "We will now commence the first trial! The oral trial." Aiones said as she looked at Okara and nodded for her to start then she explained the origin of time and the history of the gods and goddesses in specific and clear detail as everyone was surprised at her oral speech as everyone clapped when everyone finished. "Okara has completed and passed the oral trial!" Aiones announced as the first fire was lit then we moved on to the next trial which was the training trial which was the trial to test out her skills with her original power. Many robots came out of the doors surrounding Okara as she got ready then started obliterating the robots one by one breaking them into pieces. After what seemed like a long time, she finally finished with oil and robot parts around her as everyone clapped with some cheering while others were still not impressed.

"Okara has now passed her second trial and there shall now be the third trial which is the ethic trial," Aiones said as the fire lit on the second pillar and now we go onto the third trial. "This trial is giving me a bad feeling," Pepper said as she crossed her arms while Shasai was mumbling to herself clenching her fist a bit. "Now dear Okara, we will give you 10 questions to answer and you have to be very honest and truthful about your answer." "Yes, mother," Okara said as she was given a holographic board with 10 questions asking about her motives and actions. She answered them truthfully but it was strange that we couldn't see what she was answering as we all looked at each other confused then the holograph disappeared as Okara crossed her arms with a smirk on her face as Aiones read the holographic board then nodded and smiled saying, "Okara has shown outstanding ethics and therefore passes the third trial!" as we all were confused saying, "WHAT?!" with one god protesting, "You didn't show us the board so how come she passes the test?!" "We want to see the answers right now!" we all shouted for the answer to be revealed but Aiones slammed her staff down hard making the room shake and everyone lose their balance with some falling. "Flute you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine." Piccolo said to me as he helped me up then we heard Aiones say, "Don't question my motives! Unless you want to face punishment." we all sat down in our seats angrily while the fire was lit for the third pillar.

"Three pillars lit so far! It is now time to commence the final trial. The Accessor Fighter Trial!" as everyone clapped while I and the gang looked at each other worried when it was announced. "This trial will determine if my daughter can defeat my former accessor Shanae Anderson. If she manages to defeat her, then she will be my new accessor and she gets to choose Shanae's and Nanka's fate but if she doesn't, Shanae and Nanka will go back to being my accessors and they will decide her fate." She said as we were supposed at the second part of her sentence. "So there's a chance that Shanae could actually redeem both of us?" "We don't know. We just have to see the outcome." "Why did I detect sarcasm in Aiones's tone?" Nanka and Shasai questioned as Aiones told the guards to bring Shanae out.

Shanae POV

The arena door opened and then the cage moved when the guards dragged it by the rods as the bright light shone onto my face. "Why is Shanae in a cage?!" "She's not a freaking monster!" "Let my daughter out!" I heard the gang yell out as the cage door opened then one of the guards poked me with a spear to make me come out in which I stepped forward then another guard used a taser to shock me but surprisingly it didn't affect me as much as I only felt a tickle but it didn't sit well with my adoptive dad as he banged on the force field hard saying, "Don't touch my daughter you bastards!" as I got out of the cage in handcuffs and chains around my body. "What the hell did you do to her?!" "She's just 19! She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment!" I heard Zucchi and Flute say as I looked at Okara who was giving me a sinister look that made me shiver. 'She's definitely gonna kill me.' I thought to myself as the guards went away then the door slammed shut making me flinch.

"Any words Okara before you begin?" "Yes, mother! Shanae...don't try to escape or die ok?" Okara said as Aiones smiled then she said to me about my final words as I said, "May the best sister win." as I bowed down with an exhausted smirk as Okara looked at me maliciously. "You can do this Shanae!" "Don't let her win!" "Do your best!" "Make Daddy proud sweetie!" I heard my friends cheer for me as I smiled a bit but that lasted a short time when I felt a hard hit to my face and crashed into a wall hard. 'That hurt like hell! What was in that punch?!' I thought as I saw Okara charging at me but I dodged it quickly rolling on the ground to see a hole in the crater I made. "Fight back sis! You did it last time so why not now?!" Okara said as she came at me with a punch but I blocked it as I grabbed her fist and threw her to a wall she landed on the wall and jumped from it with a kick as I dodged it again when she made another hole in the arena wall. "What's wrong sis? Afraid I might kill you?" she said as she ran after me while I ran to the door to try and forfeit the competition but suddenly appeared beside me and shot a ki blast which I blocked but it was followed by a kick to my stomach to the wall making a huge crater. 'What..kind of training...did she go through?!' I thought as I tried to get up but Okara grabbed my head and then kneed me in the gut hard making me cough up blood as she tossed me to a wall making me bang my head hard enough to bleed.

'Can't...move.' "Pathetic. Just pathetic. And I thought you had fight in you." Okara said I got angry then got up despite the pain. "You just don't know when to quit!" she said as she charged at me making me charge at her as we threw punches at each other some of which hit Okara but it did no damage. I went for a low punch but she dodged out of the way and elbowed my back then grabbed my leg and tossed me up in the air and fired a blast at me which I deflected with another ki blast which made smoke. I looked around the area to find Okara but she teleported out of nowhere she kicked me down to the ground hard making me cough up more blood as I couldn't get up. "I guess I was wrong. Maybe I should...put you out of your misery to end your suffering." I heard Okara say as I tried to crawl away from her but she got to me and stepped on my back. I heard a swish then heard Okara say, "Guess I'll see you in the afterlife." she stabbed me in the stomach as I faded into darkness hearing the screams going away.

Pepper POV

"SHANAE!" "NO MY BABY GIRL!" "SISTER NO!" We all shouted as Okara stabbed her in the stomach while the gods and goddesses called out Okara for her brutality. "YOU SHOULD'VE STOPPED THE BATTLE!" "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL IT OFF?!" I and Shasai shouted at Aiones as she didn't want to hear it then announced that Okara has won but I shouted saying, "BULLCRAP! OKARA DIDN'T WIN! SHE KILLED MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA WAVE IT OFF LIKE SHE'S TRASH?!" as everyone gasped then without thinking I jumped over the arena but Aiones used a beam to stop me in place as she explained saying, "Okara has won and that's final. So don't question my authority!" as she undid the beam making me thrown back by some force to a wall. "Pepper!" Gogeta said as he ran toward me to help me up I charged again but the others held me back. "Pepper calm down! Shanae's dead and that's it." "That's easy for you to say!" I shouted back at Vegeta as I went to him and slapped him but Gogeta held me back again as I cried on his chest.

Trunks POV

"I honestly like Shanae's sister more than her. Hell! Maybe I could marry my son off to her!" "Dad! I'm not gonna marry someone who I don't know!" "I don't care! Besides you need a strong Saiyan wife to impress me!" Dad said as I got angry then said, "Dad. Do you hear yourself right now?! Okara is nothing like Shanae! In fact, she's not even my type! I love Shanae with all my heart and even though we broke off the engagement...I still-!" I tried to explain but I felt a hand strike my cheek making me fall to the ground as I realized he slapped me. "Don't give me that sappy crap. You broke off the engagement so that means you're not with her anymore right?! So stop saying that you love her and move on from her and focus on other women." "Vegeta stop it!" Kayle said as she got in front of him while my mom got down and checked my face. "Sweetie are you ok?!" "I'm fine mom," I replied back as I got up while I watched Kayle scold Vegeta even threatening him to break up with him if he kept bothering me. "Do I make myself clear Vegeta?! If you don't stop harassing Trunks or Shanae, then we're breaking off the engagement." "Yes, dear," Vegeta answered as he turned away with his arm crossed. 

"Kayle? Why do you now care for Shanae?" Shasai questioned Kayle as she turned away saying, "I don't care about her! I told Vegeta to leave her alone and that's final but he shouldn't go all the way into harassing her." Shasai got angry but let it go as she turned around and looked at the arena.

Shanae's subconscious mind (Shanae POV)

"Hey, you up?" I heard someone say as I slowly woke up to see my alter ego looking at me amused. "What do you want?" "Well, I thought you should know that your friends are thinking you're dead but you're really not." "What?!" I said as I got up on my butt as he showed me a picture to see my friends crying and arguing while Okara was being declared the winner. "Look, I can help you win the trial only on one condition." "Which is?" I said as he smiled then said, "You have to let me control you completely." "What?! Then you'll go on a rampage and start killing." "Well, you either die or help save your life." The demon said as I thought then sighed and said, "Fine, but only to hurt Okara and not hurt my friends. It's a deal." I said as I held out my hand and he smiled and then took my hand as it glowed a bright light when I blacked out

Outside the mind (Shanae POV)

I slowly got up from the ground facing down as everyone gasped while my friends cheered Okara turned around looking at me angrily. "Sorry, Shanae but you're too late." "No mother, I can go for a rematch and prove myself that I'm stronger than her." "Very well then. The fight is now resumed." Aiones said as everyone was cheering for a rematch even the group was rooting me on.

"Now dear sister. Let's see who's truly worthy of the gods."

Shanae has now been brought back by her inner demon but nobody knows how she got back up but it didn't matter as now they can see the final battle for each of the 3 sisters' fate. Who will win? Who will prevail? Most of all, what fate does each sister have in mind?
