The smoke cleared and Roark let down his energy barrier. The people were struck with fear and sorrow. They waited for their hero to rise but he did not... "H-How can this be?!" Someone shouted along with a couple other cries. Goku turned into a Super Sayain and lunged at Roark; however Roark easily knocked Goku aside and sent an energy blast at him.

Revan intervened and deflected the energy blast with one swipe and kicked Roark in the stomach. Roark slid back and sent forth two more energy blasts while throwing his shadow lance towards Goku who merely flicked it away. Roark noticed a strange energy beginning to leave Hercules body and sneered, "Damn these hero's!" he said blocking Revan's punch and dodging Goku's kick.

Revan brought one fist across while Goku flipped over head and kicked Roark in the back right into Revan's punch! Roark coughed and fell to his knees, "You're going to pay!" Revan yelled kicking Roark in the face sending him high into the air.

Goku felt the negative energy flowing from Revan's body and watched as he began to fight with a vicious demeanor. Revan teleported above Roark and slammed his leg into his back sending him flying back towards the ground. Roark focused his will and stopped in mid-flight but Revan quickly teleported behind Roark and blasted him with a dark matter attack.

Roark couldn't believe his eyes! The boy could manipulate Negative Energy and Shadow matter without even breaking a sweat?! What had Awkright missed in his research?! Roark barely had time to recuperate as Revan came at him again with an energized punch sending him high into the sky!

Revan focused his energy and made a Ki Blast out of Sarominae Necarose fully charged aiming at Roark but Goku had appeared before him and blocked the attack, "That's enough Revan. He's lost and he knows it," he said. Revan glared at Goku, "Do you have any idea-" Goku cut him off, "It doesn't matter what he's done... I can easily bring Hercule back... It's not the power you show towards your opponent but the mercy you show knowing that you're better than them... Come on," he said.

Revan's gaze softened and he looked past Goku towards Roark who seemed completely at a loss for words and or power... Revan felt pity for Roark... *Could Goku and Evanstone have the same ideals?* he thought deeply. The energy leaving Hercule's body began to disappear and Roark grabbed a hold of it disappearing with the mysterious energy.

"Where did he go?" Goku asked. Revan sighed, "Unfortunately I have not a clue... There's to many places he could've gone... There's no tellin' for sure..." he said looking away from Goku and down to Hercule's broken form where Vegeta kneeled picking up the body, "Kakarot!" he yelled. Goku turned and looked at Vegeta, "Go hunt for the Dragon Balls I'll join you as soon-" A voice in Revan's and Goku's head shouted, "Hey new guy and Goku! There's trouble brewing up here! What the heck did you send up here this time Goku?!" it yelled.

Goku had a confused expression, "Umm King Kai we haven't sent anybody up to your planet," he said scratching his head. King Kai didn't sound convinced, "Try telling that to King Yema! The entire other world is in a panic with some shadow guy messing with the underworld!" he shouted. Revan covered his ears in pain, "A little quieter please!!" he said.

Goku's expression hardened, "Sound's like we know where your friend went!" he said landing on the stadium, "Come on we need to hurry!" he said grabbing Revan. "Where are we going?" Revan asked eyeing Goku curiously, "To Other World the place for the departed. Revan scowled, "You're kidding me right? There's no possible-" Revan's words were cut short as Goku used Instant Transmission bringing them to King Kai's planet.

There King Kai sat with a man sitting at a table with a chess set. Revan could feel the energy radiating from the man but focused his attention on King Kai, "Where is he?" Revan asked. King Kai smiled, "Hold your horses sonny but first I think we need to talk about what you are here for, and I don't mean going to pick a fight with that crazy Roark!" he said.
