The History of Tara

A New Quest Begins! | Tara's Search for the Super Dragon Balls

Since acquiring her Hellbringer Super Saiyan form, Tara trained relentlessly to master it. The new form and power known as "Onyx Ki" that she now possesses proved to be difficult for her to get a hold on. Even after absorbing Kòlasi's life energy, the form still took a considerable toll on her body after using it for too long. For a time, her body struggled to get a grasp of the massive power. The form was by far the most difficult for her to master, taking years of training to fully adjust to, but the results were worth it. One day, Tara was relaxing eating dinner with Jezebel as the two chatted. "So, tel me again. How did you go about finding this, Hellbringer?" Jezebel asks curiously. "Well it wasn't easy. Took like a week to get a solid lock on his energy, but once I found him the rest was pretty easy." Tara says confidently. Jezebel raises an eyebrow with a smile. "Oh? So you didn't have any trouble with him at all?" Jezebel asks mockingly as Tara turns a little red. "Ok, so maybe he kinda almost killed me a little, but the point is everything worked out." Tara chuckles as Jezebel shakes her head. "Well, was he cute?" Jezebel asks and Tara's eyes widen. "Nanners! Where did that come from?" Tara says holding back her laughter. "Oh don't screw with me. You really expect me to believe you didn't have your wicked way with him? I'd just like to know if he was worth it." Jezebel asks, taking a sip of her tea. Tara sighs a little. "Well, if you must know, he was muscular and tall, and he had really nice hair too. And my God, you should have seen the horns on him!" Tara says dreamily and Jezebel swoons a little. "Ooh, horns. Sounds like a worthy adversary." Jezebel says with a smile. She stops for a moment and the room falls silent. Jezebel traces the rim of her teacup with her finger. "Horns, huh? Kind of reminds me of the boy you used to date." Jezebel says. Tara's smile turns to a sad one as she turns her head downward a little. Another moment of silence passes. "Do you ever, miss any of them? The people who were taken away from us?" Jezebel asks. Tara lets out a sigh as she thinks back on her short time with her boyfriend Xeron, who was killed in the first siege of the Demon Realm over 1,000 years ago. She then thinks of her mother Delilah, who also passed during the attack. She then thinks of Alice, who suffered major mental trauma after experiencing both siege's of the Demon Realm. She also thinks of her father Taric, whom she killed herself by his own demand. "I think about them all more then I probably should. Thinking about what I could have done differently, how I could have saved them all if I was just a little bit stronger..." Tara says, tears beginning to form in her eyes. "What about you? Do you ever miss them?" Tara asks. Jezebel looks up at Tara. "Of course I do. I miss them all dearly, but it's not like we can bring them back so easily." Jezebel says.

"What do you mean?" Tara asks. Jezebel starts. "Ordinarily, any normal Dragon Balls would be enough to revive our loved one's, but we don't live in a normal place. The Demon Realm isn't a mere planet, it's a vast space that spans larger then any normal person can fathom. Well over half of it's population was wiped out between both attacks. Bringing back that many people is well beyond the power of almost all of the known dragons. With us being demons, it would be even more difficult. Since we're demons, in the eyes of most dragon's our souls are already dead. The only chance we'd have of reversing the effects of the attacks are the Super Dragon Balls." Jezebel explains. Tara set her teacup down, taking in all of what Jezebel just said. "The Super Dragon Balls. Why are they so difficult to find?" Tara asks. "Well, they're not. In fact, I can tell you exactly where they are, but getting to where they are is the hard part. In this corner of the cosmos, the nearest set of Super Dragon Balls are in Heaven." Jezebel says, closing her eyes. Tara's eye widen a little. "Heaven? Well, that explains it. If we even try to go to Heaven the mere atmosphere of the place will set us on fire." Tara says in a low voice. She begins to think for a moment and her eyes suddenly widen. "What if someone asked to borrow them?" Tara asks a bit excitedly. Jezebel looks at Tara with a serious expression. "No, absolutely not!" Jezebel says authoritatively. "Wait, hear me out. What if I-" Tara starts but is cut off again. "Out of the question! I let you get away with doing a lot of reckless things, Tara but I am not letting you go to Heaven. With your reputation, it would be suicide!" Jezebel says again, her voice firm. Tara looks down a bit and places her teacup down. Tara closes her eyes and brushes her hair from her face with one hand. Jezebel sighs. "I know how you feel. You don't think I miss our village? Our neighbors? Your mother? But, since we lost them you became all I had. If I lost you too, I don't know what I'd do with myself. I'd rather love the amazing granddaughter I was given, then risk losing her and being left with nothing. I'm sorry Tara. I know you're unbelievably powerful, and I know how much confidence you have in your own ability, but I wouldn't be able to do or think about anything else if I let you go to Heaven." Jezebel says, tears starting to fill her eyes. Tara looks at her distressed grandmother. She smiles warmly and places a hand on Jezebel's cheek. "Ok, I hear you. If you think it's too dangerous, I'll trust your judgment." Tara says. Jezebel lets out a sigh of relief, grabbing Tara's hand. "Thank you Tara. I just, can't bare the thought of losing you..." Jezebel says smiling as well. "Yea, yea, I heard you. You don't have to worry about it, ok? I'm staying right here." Tara says. The two soon finish their dinner and some time passes. 

It's the following night, and Tara is getting dressed in her battle suit. She eventually makes it outside to her Cube and punches in some coordinates. "I'm sorry Nanners. I have to at least try. But, I'll make it back soon, I swear." Tara says before she pushes another button. The Cube seems to snap away at high speed, headed straight for Heaven. The blinding white light of Heaven shimmers off in the distance. The light hitting Tara's body makes her skin begin to sizzle. She stop her Cube short and she immediately sees two guardian angels headed towards her Cube. She floats out of it and sends it away. "State your business here." One of the angels commands. Tara brushes her hair to the side with a smirk. "Ah, nice to see you all too. I hear this is the nearest place one can find the Super Dragon Balls? Would it be cool if I borrowed them to revive my homeworld?" Tara asks. "The use of the Super Dragon Balls is only authorized by Goddess Seraphina. Besides, all worlds in this sector of the cosmos are closely monitored. If Goddess Seraphina wanted your world to survive, she would have intervened." Another guard says. Tara raises an eyebrow. "Seraphina? That sounds new." Tara says. The guards tighten their stances, not letting Tara pass. "Who are you, anyway?" An angel says. They then notice that Tara is staying away from the light and her skin is steaming. Their eyes grow wide. "Her, her skin! She must be a demon, here to destroy us!" The other angel says. Tara's eyes grow wide. "Wait wait wait a minute! I just said that-" Tara starts, but suddenly an alarm blares from the massive cloud that Heaven sits on. The guards in front of her materialize spears from thins air and more angels begin charging toward her. Tara prepares herself. "Well, me hurting any of them certainly won't help my case, but I don't have much of a choice." The two in front of her begin stabbing at her and Tara dodges all of the attack. She grabs both spears, bending them backwards then grabbing both the angels and throwing them back into Heaven. Several more angels are headed toward her. Tara powers herself up and is easily able to subdue the angels as the come toward her. She doesn't kill any of them, but knocks them unconscious and back into Heaven. This goes on for a few minutes until most of Heaven's army has been defeated. Tara is still just outside of Heaven as she hears a female voice booming from seemingly no where. "You've gone far enough!" The voice says. A brilliant light shines from the gates of Heaven and Tara sees a silhouette of a woman with large wings flying toward her. Tara wraps herself in her purple fire armor to protect herself from the light. When the woman gets closer, Tara's eyes widen in shock.

"Shut... UP!" Tara says with a smile of disbelief. The women, looks identical to Tara except her skin is a bit lighter and her hair is blond. When the women sees Tara, her eyes widen as well. "What, on Earth is this? Who are you?!?" The women speaks, her voice even sounding like Tara's but more elegant. The two look each other up and down. Finally, Tara speaks. "Hmm, you must be some sort of, alternate me. The only difference is where we're from. Goddess Seraphina, I presume?" Tara says with a smirk. Seraphina, the woman who looks like Tara, still looks puzzled. "You must be... from another dimension. Explain yourself, at once!" Seraphina demands. "Gladly. My name is Tara, succubus extraordinaire born and raised in the Demon Realm." Tara says with a smirk. Seraphina appears to get angry. "Impossible. I don't know what it is you plan to do, but I'm putting an end to it now." Seraphina retracts her wings and powers up. " Hey, now hold on a second. I came with a simple request. I merely want to borrow your Super Dragon Balls to bring back my home world." Tara asks again. "And why would I let the most sacred and blessed artifacts in all of Heaven fall into the hands of a sex demon?" Seraphina asks sarcastically. Tara laughs a little. "Sex demon? Well, that's a new one. But now that you mention it, this is the first time I'm technically getting a good look at myself. I must say, I am one lovely fallen angel." Tara says flirtaciously. Seraphina cringes in disgust. Tara also powers up a little. "Fallen Angel? You mean Archangel. I am of the highest class in Heaven and I rule my kingdom proudly. I'd gladly fight for my home." Seraphina says. "What a coincedence. As it so happens, I'm the Guardian of my home too. The Demon Realm. And I'm not just a lowly succubus. I am the Temptress, the Hellbringer. I came here for a reason and I don't intend on leaving quietly without it anymore." Tara says taking her stance, which is also identical to Seraphina's. "Well then, by all means try and get past me. I'll show you a Godly display that you won't soon forget." Seraphina says. They power up even more, shaking the space around them. They both get a bit nervous upon feeling each other's power, but neither of them back down. Tara remembers the talk she had with her grandmother the day before she left and thinks. (Nanners, Xeron, everyone who was killed by Moiran, Alice, father, and you too mother. I'll defeat this archangel, and make everything right again. Everyone, this one's for you!)
