Planet Zero Volume 5: Queen Of Evil

Corruption

Jackie walked through the streets of Sakurami City, not caring that Ryuzu Saika wanted to lure her out of her safe haven. She was walking with her eyes closed after Akari gave her a small amount of Honkai Energy. When she opened her eyes, the whites in her eyes were red, and she had white irises and orange pupils. "So this is the power of Corruption...." Jackie looked around, seeing that red tendrils were piercing through copies of Ryuzu Saika that were lurking in the alleyways near Jackie. "This power....I love it...." Jackie smirked as she stared at an army of Ryuzu Saika copies in the sky. Her right eye turned into a fractured clock that was made from the power of the Core Of Corruption, and she summoned undead clones of herself in the air around the copies of Ryuzu Saika. "Did you honestly think that I would be weakened from losing the aspect of Melancholy, Ryuzu Saika? Who decided that?" Makima slowly walked out of a portal behind Jackie, and she told her not to lose control of her body. "Let me handle this." Makima raised her hand, and red rivets shot out of her fingers. The rivets impaled the copies, and they all began to fall from the sky, dead. Some of Jackie's undead clones helped kill all of the copies that dodged the rivets. Once the copies were all dead, Jackie thanked Makima for helping, and then she stopped using the fractured clock of corruption, the zombie clones disappearing from the skies. "What was that anyway, Red? I never knew that you could do that." Jackie explained that it was an ability granted to her by the Herscherr Of Corruption. "When did you get here?" Her question was answered when she saw Frieza's ship behind Makima.

Frieza stepped out of his ship in his golden form, Aria Swan and Kuro standing on either side of him. "It appears that your enemy stole a large amount of power from you? You need my help, don't you?" Frieza smirked at Jackie, who actually smirked back at him. "I do. Kuro. Where is your mother?" Kuro said that Natsumi did not want to join the fight. "Don't forget what happened to mom when she lost her Ryuzu Saika." Aria ran up to Jackie and she hugged her tightly. "Don't worry, Red! You'll get strong again! I promise!" A puddle of sentient blood made its way towards Jackie, and it transformed into a copy of her mother holding a box. "Do you want to reclaim your power?" Jackie nodded her head. "Are you finally ready to inherit my power, Musume?" Jackie hesitated, but she nodded her head again. The clone of her mother placed the box in her hand, and she turned back into a puddle of blood before she vanished. "Is that what I think it is, Jackie?" Frieza was studying the box in Jackie's hand, wondering what the former matriarch of Gensokyo put in her daughter's hand.
