"After some scuffle with a band of Demons and the subsequent opening of the supply lines and entering the main base of the resistance, we eventually learned that Siber had taken refuge on an Ice world known as Planet Cooler 168. We were given an artifact by the Resistance Group which helped in locating him. But getting there wasn't easy; his lair was a large, majestic Ice Fortress, swarming with his troops, with the true entrance to his lair blocked by a set of three seals, with each seal being zeallously guarded by his lieutenants. To make it more of an extreme search mission, each of the lieutenants was held up in a different realm of their own, as if making it a wild goose-chase for us to find him. Had it not been for this artifact we had in our possession, we wouldn't be able to find them. Strangely, it was Siber himself whom informed us of the TRUE nature of these artifacts..." Future Brachi then said.
 
"I can't help but wonder what they're talking about in there.." Oriko spoke softly as he looked at everyone that was outside with him..
 
Deramas tilted his head.
"Apparently this 'Panich' character is a close friend of theirs and she is currently being filled in on what has happened..." He said.
 
"And this 'true nature' happened to be what?" Panich smirked, "Infinite power? Immortality?"
 
"The artifacts were in fact created by the demons, which would give one they saw fit to use it with the power over time and space..." Dread Master Bestia said, at which she decided to play out a conversation which Siber had with the group during a trip through the Shadow Portals...

"I should have known! Why did it take me this long to figure it out?! You are able to enter the Shadow Portals - and able to suppress my control over time and space - because you possess the same power that I do! I doubt your control over it is as extensive as mine is, but there can be no other explanation; you are a holder of one of the Artifacts! And that can only mean one thing... something that disturbs me greatly." Siber began.

The group remained silent at this at first, surprised by this reveal.

"Do you understand what you've done? Do you understand the sheer EVIL which you have aligned yourself with? I doubt you do, because THEY never explain their intentions unless they have to!" Siber said.

"Who?" Xenest asked.

"They are masters of manipulation and you have fallen into their trap... just as I once did, long ago. You and I know them as Demons, or at least that is how they appear to us. I don't know who they truly are, other than they embody a force of pure chaos that is not native to the universe you know and live in. Are you so naive to think they are helping you out of sheer benevolence? They have given you the Artifact you hold not only as a way of empowering you, but as a way of CONTROLLING you." Siber then said.

"What do you mean?!" Celicia asked, unnerved.

"You may have been led to believe that the Artifact you hold is some sort of benign magical tool which anyone can use, simply by holding it up and invoking its powers. Such is not the case; the Artifacts alone do nothing in the hands of normal people: in order to use their powers, you must sign a pact with the devil himself. I speak figuratively of course; there is no need for a formal contract or anything of that sort. You simply need to have the will to co-operate with the Demons and have a force of desire strong enough to accept their gifts in the face of what it may mean for you the long run. For both you and me, that desire was one of revenge. Because you proved to the Demons that you have the will - and capability - to do their bidding, the power of the Artifacts was made available to you. I believe that they created the Artifacts to be used as a means of empowering those they see as useful to their evil cause. The gem in the Empress' Ring is one such artifact, which I originally used many decades ago during my first period of conquest within the Organization before I was sold out to King Cold, but got stolen later on during that time. Before that, its power was used by the founding Emperor of the planet you know now as Cold Prime I to create the Empire that existed before the Planet Trade Organization took over the planet many, many years ago. And now, I suspect, you actually hold it." Siber then said.

The group blinked at the sudden reveal, just as Siber continued.

"The Artifact that was recently found on Planet Frieza 37 (and which brought me back to life) is another. I am certain that more than just those two exist, though I don't know of any others. I implore you - if you wish to continue your quest for revenge against me, then by all means continue. But, if you survive, I ask that you do NOT use the power of the Artifacts after this. The more you use them, the more your soul becomes bound to them. In my case I doomed myself to forever be tied to them, becoming a servant of Chaos. Please, do not let the same happen to you. I am attempting to resist the will of the Demons, but if you succumb to them then you will be no different from me. The cycle must end. As you can see, their intent was not to help me and they do not intend to help you either. All they wish for is to create as much chaos and suffering as possible; to fuel hatred and destroy life. They don't care who lives or who dies, as long as there is misery. They merely saw me as a tool to serve that purpose and now that I have disobeyed them, they see you as a potential candidate to replace me as their servant. That is why they have granted you power. You probably first got their attention when you decided to chase after me. They were the ones who suggested that I present you with the dilemma of going after me and sacrifice more innocent lives on Planet Frieza 37, not knowing you saved both those lives AND went after me as well as suggesting that I should kill your friend Brachi, which I did. I now think that it was a way for them to test you. They have likely tested you more times since then in secret. They are very selective when it comes to their servants." Siber then said.

"So the demons PLANNED Brachi's death... and used you to execute it..." Xenest deducted.

"If you defeat me and survive, there will come a day when they contact you again and offer you more power. Refuse them. Do NOT allow them to corrupt you any more than they already have. They may attempt to kill you. Fight them. If you must, hide from them. Just, whatever you do, do NOT give in to them. The smartest thing to do would be to destroy the Artifact you hold. Do not even THINK for a moment that I am on your side; just know that there are greater evils facing you than little old me. I will tell you more later, that is if you continue to live." Siber said, before his voice stopped, after which the group found themselves back on the ice world Planet Cooler 168 a moment later.
 
"What an interesting plot twist," Panich added, her expression unchanged.
 
"After we defeated the third lieutenant, we finally had access to enter Siber's lair, which we entered to confront him. But to say that the battle went smoothly, that was something that anyone would be wrong with, as Siber was a lot stronger than we anticipated..." Future Brachi said.
 
"You all are here so im sure it was no problem." Panich chuckled.
 
"You have no idea..." Future Brachi said, nodding to Dread Master Bestia...

Siber on his turn merely smirked, just as he received a massive wave of energy, fired by Goles, Marron Jr. and Bulma Jr., who were still beyond furious at the Arcrosian for killing Brachi. As the wave of energy detonated, there was a large cloud of dust that blocked the group's view of the enemy.

"Was that it?" Siber then quipped as he emerged from the attack unharmed, much to the shock of the group, especially the three children.

"You've shown quite the spirit... almost like your mother. It would be bad of me to keep you separated from her any longer!" Siber said, after which he fired a massive wave of energy towards the three children.

Goles, Bulma Jr. and Marron Jr. cried out in fear as the attack approached them at high speed, but as the attack was about to strike them, someone hopped in the way and took the full force of the attack, screaming out in agony as the wave hit. As the light dissipated and the dust cleared, the group would see that the three children were huddled together... but were still alive. But as the group looked on, they would see the person who shielded the three from the attack... it was Celicia!

"SISTER!!" Anne shouted.

Celicia panted heavily as she held her position bravely, her clothes were tattered and torn, her golden chain broken and partially melted from the intensity of the attack and she was bleeding heavily.

"You used your body as a shield for those three brats? I don't know whether I should commend you for your bravery or chastise you for your foolishness..." Siber said, surprised himself.

"Y... you.......... b.......... bastard........." was all Celicia could utter before she collapsed... and laid still.

Immediately Future Brachi moved to her, checking for a pulse, while the three children stared at this in horror. Future Brachi stood up after a minute, her head bowed down in sadness, before looking at the others, shaking her head. At this, Anne collapsed and wailed out, deeply affected by Celicia's death.

"Oh, quit your crying; you'll be seeing her soon enough, I mean... what the hell?!" Siber said.

The group then heard the disgusting sounds of what appeared to be bones snapping and/or otherwise contorting, before a massive wave of killer intent washed over Siber. Turing to look behind them, they would see that Future Xenest had now engaged Berserker mode, as his four gargantuan energy arms sprouted from his back while Future Xenest took a more feral stance in the process. With Future Brachi securing Celicia's body and moving the three shivering children out of the way, her husband suddenly attacked.

"SIIIIIIIIIIIBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR RRR!!!!" Future Xenest roared as he raised his giant upper right arm and clobbered Siber to the far side of the room and through the wall to the outside, before chasing after him to beat the living daylights out of him.

"What?!" Siber asked as he recovered and spotted Future Xenest coming at him with a berseker fury, forcing Siber on the defensive, "How can a mere Human generate such power?!"

Granted, Siber knew he still outclassed Future Xenest by far, but he was needless to say impressed by the sudden surge of strength that his adversary now possessed, driven by his rage alone.

Judy was also crying uncontrollably, finding comfort in the arms of Gina, while Lea and Sheila both comforted Anne.
"We'll bring her back together with Brachi. That's a promise." Lea said, rubbing the back of Anne's head.
Future Brachi growled as well, but then she turned to the three children, whom she could have sworn to feel the energy levels rising...

"Celicia was only the first to fall from Siber's brutality..." Future Brachi then said...

After Siber completed his transformation to his Final Form, he saw Shonfu and Tamar, along with the newly transformed Goles, Marron Jr. and Bulma Jr. charging at him. Smirking, he moved to charge them head on... before suddenly vanishing from sight...

"Where did he go?!" Goles asked, looking around.

"Looking for someone?" A menacing voice asked, right before Goles and his sisters were kicked down to the ground.

Immediately Shonfu got in position to defend himself, while Tamar, together with Future Xenest, went to check on the children.

"So, a soldier loyal to Frieza has come to face me?" Siber then quipped in his final form...

"For your information, traitor, I have just resigned from this organization. It's become too corrupt, especially with the stunts you pulled!" Shonfu snarled.

"Oh really? Aren't you being a hypocrite right now?" Siber asked.

"Let's say that I've finally come to my senses after so many years." Shonfu snapped.

"Please, your cause is irrelevant. Once I'm done with you and your comrades, your home will be next." Siber said.

"No, that won't happen!" Shonfu said, before firing his Greater Velocity Bomb at Siber, only to his shock realizing that it did nothing.

"Nice try, but I'm now far stronger than you think." Siber said, before smacking Shonfu aside like a rag doll, before teleporting straight to where the remaining fighters were.

Piccolo immediately noticed him and charged at him, only to be smacked aside effortlessly, just as a rocket smacked into him, exploding on contact. Siber used the smoke to teleport away...

"You got him!" Anne shouted, smiling.

"No, Siber is stronger than that!" Tatsu said.

It was then that Demon Tempest sensed something close by... and saw something appearing behind Sheila!

"SHEILA, BEHIND YOU!!!" Demon Tempest warned.

Sheila blinked as she turned around, only for Siber to grab her head on the sides and snapped her neck in an instant, killing her.

"NOOOO!!!" Lea howled as she charged at Siber, only for the Arcrosian to toss Sheila's body towards the android, causing Lea to catch the still body of her lover, just as Siber fired his Magnetic Disintegrator energy wave at them, vaporizing both Sheila and Lea on the spot.
Not being finished, Siber then grabbed Sheila's rocket launcher and tossed it with great velocity towards Anne, who was hit in the side of her head, causing her to utter a single grunt as the impact killed her instantly.

Demon Tempest was now beyond himself with rage, as he suddenly spread his arms to the side and began to charge a Plasma Storm in each of his hands.

"You sick, worthless bastard! I'LL KILL YOU!" He roared as he put every ounce of energy he had in his attack.

"Is that it?" Siber asked, getting ready to attack Tempest, only for Goddess Orochi Xeno to block his path, while Judy, Gina, Tatsu and Yango bolted away from the area, taking the corpses of Celicia and Anne with them.

"RABI, GET OUT OF THERE!" Piccolo said, as the terrified Rabi was watching this display with fear, just as Future Brachi grabbed her and moved her out of harm's way.

Goddess Orochi Xeno kept Siber occupied with numerous Micro Clusters and using the Pillar Strike, right before she teleported away, revealing Demon Tempest whom finished his attack and fired it towards Siber, jumping in the air himself. Smirking, Siber prepared to reflect the attack back at Tempest, but as he touched it, the volatile fiery sphere instantly got unstable and detonated in a titanic, fiery explosion that spread outward rapidly, so much it could be seen from orbit of the planet they were on...
