Marimba had done it. With the help of the Mazoku clan's brightest warlocks and the alignment of the planets, he had managed to astrally project his spirit into hell without using any guiding candles. His time here, however, was limited. His purpose was to locate the soul of Gandigan. All the seneschal needed was closure: one last short conversation, one last battle. The mutant was on the cusp of breaking his limits, and at the height of emotions, he could even draw out that power Gandigan had once displayed. What he needed now was someone capable of helping him master it. Then and only then could he be confident in presenting himself as the new king of the north.

There was only one day's worth of mortal time to work with, and most of that time had already been spent tracking down his target. According to the rumors of the underworld spirits, a Namekian had been causing a bit of a commotion in Yemma's domain before ending up in the ashen mountains. Hell was a vast place, however, and that extended to each of its respective areas as well. Even as Marimba rocketed through the skies of the ashen mountains focused on finding Gandigan's Ki signature, nothing was turning up.

Time was running out, and it was looking like this whole expedition was destined to be fruitless. It was possible that Gandigan would not want to be found, even if they knew he was being looked for. But Marimba had one last thing to try before accepting that. The Mazoku traveled to the top of the mountain, where he and Gandigan once gathered together and defeated Amon.

With a bloodcurdling shout, Marimba's body unleashed a devastating and uncontrollable dark aura with matching onyx lightning, his body appearing to both expand and condense itself simultaneously, giving the illusion that his body was blurring, his power skyrocketing in turn beyond anything he had displayed before.

"GANDIGAN!!!!!!"

Gandigan's death had left him feeling somewhat hollow. His purpose had been taken up on the shoulders of the Mazoku now; defeating Lottus would be their duty, and he believed that they could get it done. But what remained for him? Death? For eternity? It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that he would spend the rest of... well, forever down in here. But that was his fate, and it was something he needed to accept sooner or later if he wanted to stay sane.

Lottus had beaten him. The battle was close, but still he was defeated; his life extinguished. His parting message had been a plea to his allies to prepare for Lottus. They had gotten the message, which meant it was now out of his hands. He had said his goodbyes to many already, but not all. There were still some that he needed to speak to. Otama, Gira... Marimba...

Marimba? A power familiar to Gandigan arose in the Ashen Mountains, but it was much greater than he remembered... had he found a way to go beyond? As soon as the Mazoku Lord felt that strength he took off, very quickly recognizing where it was he was headed. Gandigan landed at the top of a mountain where he had Marimba battled Amon; in front of him stood the Mazoku that was by his side that day, but at the same time this was someone else.

"Marimba?! Such power! How did you get here? What are you doing?"

"Marimba?! Such power! How did you get here? What are you doing?"

Marimba released the burden of his transformation, returning to his base form.

"The short answer is, some of our finest warlocks took advantage of the astrology, allowing me to project my spirit into the otherworld."

"I am still alive, but my time here is still limited. Just as it would be if I used a guiding candle to bridge the gap between realms."

"What I'm here for is to see if I can find an audience with you. And It seems that I've found it."

"I suppose I should start by updating you on what's been happening on the mortal plane."

"After you failed to defeat Lottus, I knew our time was short before his arrival. So, I threw myself into training in order to break my limits. The power you witnessed was the result of that training."

"The other Mazoku Hoken have been doing much the same, but they were not close enough to achieve this kind of strength before HIS arrival."

"Even with my newfound power, the battle was looking grim. Through our teamwork, we managed to curse him with the power of the Olivant, allowing me to inflict some grievous wounds against him, but even then, he still firmly held the power advantage over us."

"But his power made him arrogant, which granted us the opportunity for his undoing. Thinking me exhausted from my previous assault, he dropped his guard against me in order to focus his attacks against the lesser warriors, aiming to eliminate them from the picture entirely. But at that moment, my body remembered a technique from its predecessor: Mortal Overcharge."

"At that moment, I was able to convert my remaining life force into raw power. I believed the other Hoken were about to die and threw away inhibitions, fully intending to take Lottus to hell along with us."

"I don't have any further memories of that battle. Apparently, I blew him away and then began to disintegrate. Only Gira and Cello were the only ones standing by the end of it, and those two were so focused on getting the wounded among us to healers that they neglected to confirm my kill against Lottus."

"By the end of it, no one was killed, and the fate of the Super Saiyan is still unknown. But we fear he may still live."

"..."

"Of all of our wounds, mine was the only one with any lasting damaging effects. When I try to access my power, I feel pained and strained. Therefore, I decided to delay my coronation until I could stand before my people as the symbol of power and glory they so desperately desire.

"I've spent the better portion of a month resting and recovering, only doing light training drills. As someone who has always prided myself on my endurance, thinking myself invincible to any such wounds, this was quite humiliating."

"Fortunately, I have managed to make much progress toward recovery. There is only one last barrier I must overcome before I can reclaim my true power and be proud to show my face to my people once again. And for that, I need a worthy opponent to push me to the point again."

"A worthy opponent. Such as yourself."

Marimba recounted the details of the Mazoku's battle with Lottus, and of how they were eventually able to come out on top. He was proud to hear of how the Mazoku were able to so effectively work together now, as that was the only way they could hope to defeat Lottus. It was a bit disappointing to hear that Lottus had managed to leave with his life, but if it meant all of the Mazoku surviving then that was a trade off he could accept this time.

"Excellent work, Marimba. Your power has grown immensely since the last time we met, and I'm sure the other Mazoku will reach you in time as well. I'm glad to hear you have experience in fighting against a Saiyan like Lottus, because you're going to need it. Once I revive I have big plans for us. The crown will be yours, but if you would join me then I believe the Mazoku can achieve a lot on other worlds; specifically Plant."

Gandigan had been formulating his invasion for a while now, but now it was time to share it with Marimba. "I believe that we should invade Plant. This invasion serves two purposes: to quell the Saiyans before they raise any more like Lottus, and to establish colony grounds for the Mazoku. With Gira with us she can lead the Saiyans herself while we populate the disputed lands. Creating a buffer between the Saiyans should win the Tuffles to our side."
