Description

Astral had already changed into her pajamas, and was walking down the hallway of the Demon’s Base until she decided to peek through Dabura's bedroom. Although opposites and technically enemies, the two sides had continued to honor an alliance until Dark was defeated and Astral promised to return her debt to the Demons for saving her life numerous times. They could see he had placed the seemingly haunted picture frame on a table, which now seemed to house a connection directly to Towa's soul. For in fact this picture frame was actually an Elemental Item, possessing magical capabilities of talking to the dead. Not paying too much attention to their conversation, or wanting to anger Dabura, Astral left for her bedroom to get some sleep. ‘I know he's an evil demon, but it's kinda cut how they still show affection to their family members...' Astral smiled as drifted off.
Unlike her Saiyan family members, Astral possessed a secret ability. And this was because she was an avid lucid dreamer, able to pick locations of her dreams each night. Tonight was one of her favorites, a music store full of her favorites, where she liked to flick through albums to play on a nearby record player. The only thing she was ashamed of however, was she always seemed to play the same few songs, despite having an entire store of musical options at her disposal. A lonely saxophone began dancing and weaving through the speakers, as Astral contented herself to browse through genres she had never looked through before.

However, a familiar and surprising voice intervened in Astral's pleasant dream and thoughts. "This isn't Hell, but where am I?"

''Huh??'' Astral wasn't used to getting visitors, not unless she purposely tried to project their image in the dream.

Looking up, the grey haired Saiyan gasped, falling back and knocking down music stands in the process. ''T-Towa!? What? I didn't ask her to show up what gives!'' Clearly shocked, Astral however thought this was nothing more than a projection so didn't worry too much.
"And I never asked to be... wherever this place is. I am as confused as you are, I have no idea how I am here." The demoness replied.

''Get outta here...'' Astral no longer looked worried, as she stood up and began clicking her fingers to signal Towa to disappear. ''Wait, why isn't it working? Usually, I can control my dreams perfectly, what gives?'' Astral sighed. ''I guess having to talk to my nemesis Towa again kinda etched my brain abit, I must be thinking about it too much...'' Astral groaned.
Towa walked up to Astral, poking her cheek to at least check if this was real or an illusion. "Dream or not, I am the real Towa and I am here in your dream somehow."

''Ehh? That's impossible! And don't touch me!'' Astral backed off to create some space. ''But I have to admit, this has never happened to my dreams before, I usually have perfect control over them! Unless... could it have something to do with the Elemental Item? But even if that was true... GET OUTTA MY DREAM!'' Astral flailed her arms. She naturally was terrified of Towa, however knew no harm could be done in the dreamworld, which gave her a little confidence.
"Relax." Towa stated, her staff suddenly appearing in her hand as she stabbed through Astral's check. But it's just as she expected, it phased through her and nothing happened. "Knew it, I can't do anything to you in your dream world like this. It might be because of the item that we're now connected like this."

''I can't think of a worse person to be connected too... except maybe Ginyu...'' Astral groaned. ''And for the record, I'm only helping your brother for Cara and Dabura, not for you!'' Astral huffed. ''Cara and Dabura saved my life a bunch of times unlike the countless times you tried to kill me, even succeeding pretty much once with the help of your old pal Ginyu.''
"Sure, I was after you, but I never got the chance to kill you myself. Plus, you're not the only one to have their body stolen and killed by Ginyu."

''My mother would say karma was well served, although I don't like to see people die no matter how they evil they happen to be.'' Astral tried to insult Towa as Cai would have done, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Hmph, you really do suck at insulting people. Well, whatever, I am here now whether we like it or not." Towa looked around, seeing the instruments around, it reminded her of the past. "I remember a time that Bulpan was on the same side as me and hunted you, mentioned she found you admiring music when you were still just born."

''No no NO! Stay outta my happy place!'' Astral closed her eyes and flailed her arms, as she pushed the power button on her dream to wake up. The clock on her table read 6AM, much earlier than Astral preferred to wake up, however at least she'd gotten six hours sleep and could avoid going back to her dream until later tonight, where she hoped Towa would no longer haunt her again. Although they were underground, Dabura had helped Astral install a virtual display on the wall, which simulated a rising sun out of a fake wind.

However, as the grey-haired Saiyan stretched as she sat up in her bed, she noticed something... peculiar. Towa's picture frame containing her soul was now on one of the counters in her bedroom. ''What?'' Astral hopped out of her bed angrily. ''How and why did you get into my room while I was sleeping?'' She shouted at her at close range.
Towa was just as surprised as Astral, she couldn't have moved a frame when she's still in Hell. "You really think I am in any position to move this artifact into the same room as you?"

''So, you're telling the truth, aren't you?'' Astral sighed, seeing Dabura was already fully dressed and had poked his head through the door to see the cause of the shouting. ''I think this Elemental Item is haunted. But on the plus side, I won't have to turn into Towa anymore, right? She can just help us through the frame if she has a connection to me... she showed up in my freaking dream last night AND has moved from your bedroom to mine unintentionally as we slept.''
Dabura was confused, though Astral's words about the situation mattered not to him. "It is concerning that the frame would move on its own, if not by Towa or yourself. However, still turning into my sister is the only way to restore Cara, as mere words from Towa alone without magic will not help in the slightest."

''Even IF I could do such a thing, we don't even have the magic demon staff thing so... isn't all pointless?'' Astral sounded like a kid trying to avoid going to school.

"That would've been the case, however there is still magic within my own self that I use the staff with to help conduit whatever I desire. It wouldn't be required for you Astral, as if you turn into me with my shape and powers, you might not even need it like I would." Towa answered.

''Alright alright get off my back!'' She began getting her normal clothes to get changed into. ''Just lemme at least get some breakfast first...I'll meet you in the lab for noon, I gotta mentally prepare for this so I need time...'' Astral beckoned Dabura to go and take his sister with him.

''This is gonna suck...'' She sighed.

After 6 hours had passed, the three met in the demon's lab, as Astral stood in the centre of the room where she'd placed a large mirror in front of her to focus. ''Okay this is gonna be harder mainly because Towa is someone I really don't like... no offense...'' She looked at the demoness picture frame, before turning to the mirror to concentrate.
Towa smirked. "None taken, I am used to being hated and feared after all."

''Mmm...'' Astrals face twitched and her muscles shivered and shook. After several seconds, the two demons looked on as Astral's outfit began disappearing! Being replaced by a red latex suit, her boots turned into heels, and her scarf disappeared completely! ’'Tada!'' However, she was still herself except with pointy ears and wearing Towa's outfit.
"Hmm... Not quite there yet, you forgot my face, my voice, my skin color, and my body shape."

Looking ashamed. ''Look, I'm still new to this, okay? Mom would never let me practice this power of mine...'' She then looked at Dabura. ''Hey, would you mind turning around please? I kinda can't do it with you staring at me like that...'' Astral had an awkward expression, and became even more awkward as she shifted uncomfortably in Towa's bodysuit, feeling as though her figure was too exposed.

"Hmph." Dabura then simply turned around, away from Astral.

''MMMMM!!!!'' Astral’s face was now red as she was free to focus on everything she had. Her skin began slowly turning blue as her figure shifted and altered slightly in size. Her height dropped several inches, and her hair broke out of its ponytail, becoming a lighter shade of silver white. ''MMMMM!!!!!'' Her face was now a pale blue, as her eyes shifted from blue to purple, and a sporting of red lipstick appeared on her mouth, which seemed to reveal even her teeth had changed slightly, now possessing small fangs. ''AH!'' She fell onto her butt at seeing her sight in the mirror, she now had Towa's body, an exact copy! However, it was clear by her shriek that she still had Astral's lighter and softer voice.
"Eh, close enough if you could still use my magic. Unless you want to sound like me?" Towa teased.

''STOP IT!'' Astral flailed her arms again as she stood up, feeling embarrassed at her body. ''I can't copy your magic just yet. First is to master this form, second is replicating your power level, which should be safe as I'm essentially downgrading in terms of power... no offense. Hmm... And third is when I start to try and replicate your moves and abilities. To be able to revive Cara, that's like at least another step or two ahead of that so for today the only thing I'll try and do additionally is to become Towa in power level too.'' She then thought about it. ’'It's a lengthier process that would be ideal but otherwise there's a one percent chance I could die... I guess in the meantime I could try and get your voice too...'' She then concentrated and closed her eyes. ''And... there! HAHA!'' She heard Towa's voice echo from her own lips. However, when she opened her eyes, she was back in her original Saiyan body. ''GOD DAMN IT!'' She then shifted back into Towa, however in a bizarre display of her unmastered abilities, she had swapped voices with the body forms, so now her Towa form had Astral's voice, and her own body had Towa's voice! ''Eh, this is embarrassing...'' She sighed, once again with her own voice but Towa's body at her disposal.
Dabura turned back, though was somewhat weirded out to see Towa's body with such a childish voice. "It is very clear that, like you said before, you have not mastered this branch of your abilities. To go further, you would have to improve upon and perfect this ability of yours."

''Mmm, agreed!'' Astral smiled, as she seemed to adopt a much more insecure, happy and almost childish stance and attitude, much different to the usual fear-evoking, dominant and fearful Towa everyone was used to seeing. ''I think a good plan would be to stay in this form for the rest of the day and night. Then tomorrow, I'll try replicating her power level!'' She then looked into the mirror, feeling embarrassed until she remembered something. ''OH, I FORGOT!'' A white mini-cape appeared on the back of Astral. ''There, I look just like Towa! Now I will be a force for good!'' She joked trying to find the good in this unusual situation. She then got closer to the mirror and even began pulling some funny faces and expressions to try and become less afraid of her new reflection.
"At least you are having your own fun with the same looks as mine, I could never pull off such faces myself." Towa said, before regaining focus on the task at hand. "If you want Cara revived, you are to go through this process as quickly as possible while retaining control of this ability of yours."

''Oh right, sorry.'' She stopped herself. ''But it's gotta be slow, if I try and do it too fast, I risk losing my mind completely and I don't have a mentor in this skill so I'm going into uncharted territory here...'' She then shifted her body again, this time her hair hunched up into a ponytail, and her outfit changed into something more comfortable. ''There... much better, I don't know how you wear a latex suit all day. We'll meet back here tomorrow morning for phase two, okay Dabura?'' Astral left to go about her day, leaving just Dabura and Towa for the moment.

Towa tilted her head in amazement. "I do say, I rock that look quite well. However, that shouldn't be a reason to insult my stylistic choices."

''Irrelevant sister, I am more intrigued about what she mentioned regarding her losing her mind, an interesting choice of words.'' Dabura stared at the empty space where Astral just left.

"Yes, we play her well and she might be able to turn to our side, permanently. After she's turned, we can use her to bring me back from this forsaken hellhole I am forced into."

"Indeed, and I can help since she still feels like repaying that debt for the many times I have saved her. Use my words to lead her into our goals, our ranks."

Towa laughed. "Hahaha, yes, precisely what should be done."

Before long the day had come and gone, and it was time to sleep once more. Going into her bedroom, Astral noticed something very different as she was preparing to get into her bed. ''Smells... different. Makes sense if I have a different body to my old one, it would pick up on my scent more, weird...'' She thought about taking off her red and black yoga outfit but hesitated, not wanting to invade on Towa's privacy she elected to remain clothed, going to bed in this outfit too. ''Okay that sucked, but it wasn't all that bad...'' She drifted off into her sleep once again, trying to decide on what dream she'd have tonight. However, unlike usual, her vision faded to black completely.

After an unknown length of time her vision returned, however she was falling! ''AHHH!!!'' She hit the ground hard, still in Towa's form. ''OOF!''
When Astral looked up, she saw Towa once again in full, in this dream. "So, is it like before?" However, unlike last time, the whole space is completely black.

''Mmm...'' She groaned, clearly displeased about seeing Towa again. ''Where are we? This isn't one of my dreams...'' She stood up and wiped the dust off her new thighs.
"If you have no control over it, it might be my own this time. Lemme see..." Trying to control this dreamscape, Towa's imagination paved the way for the Demon Realm to emerge from the blackness of space.

''Great... I can smell the evil...'' Astral frowned.

"Oh, you want true evil?" The landscape then changed to Towa's own personal Hell, the one she was trapped in with some goofballs in the background on a stage.

''This doesn't look much worse. Who are those guys? Friends of yours?'' Astral noticed they appeared to be doing a strange slow dance.

"Ginyu's friends, and a goddess, I got sent to his Hell in his place after my death." Towa pointed her finger at Astral and raised it up, causing Astral to uncontrollably float.

''Ah? Hey! Wait, this is Ginyu's hell!? Why are you here then?'' Astral didn't like being under Towa's power, this was supposed to be a time where she was resting!
The demoness then guided her finger onto the stage, where she slammed Astral down. "Have fun doing what I am being tortured to 24/7." And then... Astral started to uncontrollably dance.

''EH!?'' Astral felt a collar magically appear around her neck, as her body automatically danced in sync to the other members on the stage in a comical fashion. ''CUT IT OUT!!''

''Oh? Another Towa has joined us? There were two of you?'' A blue haired woman asked in curiosity. Her eyes indicated she was exhausted, she must have been doing this a long time.

''Ah? Who the heck are you?'' Astral followed her movements unintentionally, losing total control over herself.
"If you are really trying to become me, then you should suffer what I had to suffer through. The pain, the idiots, and this dancing." Towa was now wearing her bikini, facing away.

This simply infuriated Astral, who tried hopping off the stage in protest. ''Hey, I never did anything bad to you in my dream!''

''Ah, I wouldn't do that Towa's twin, bad call!'' The blue haired lady behind her yelled.

''I'm not Towa, my name is Astral!'' She barked.

''Oho, THE Astral?'' The blue haired lady suddenly looked away in shame, however her body continued busting embarrassing and revealing dance poses.

Towa looked behind, seeing Astral off the stage and smiled. "Shouldn't have done that." Just then, the collar shocked Astral violently.
As she was shaking violently on the ground, two spectral magical hands appeared from the base on the stage, and hoisted Astral back next to the blue haired girl, where a jolt ran up from her feet causing the rest of her body to spin around into a pose similar to what Captain Ginyu would do. ''N-No!''

Just then, Astral awoke. And just like last time, the artifact was on the desk next to her. "Well, that was a fun one." Towa said smugly.

Frowning at the frame being next to her once again and at what had just happened, Astral sounded furious. ''You... YOU TRICKED ME! I was nice to you in my dream!'' Astral poked the picture frame where Towa's nose was hard. ''Why didn't you help me!?''
"My dream, my rules. In a Hell like that, I would want to have things go my way and have fun with it." Towa answered.

Dabura then entered. "Astral."

However Astral didn't respond, instead her hair was flickering up and down, as purple bolts of electricity began splinting out of Astral's body. Dabura sensed something odd, her energy was becoming weaker as she was powering up, however more importantly it was matching that of his sisters, in fact if he closed his eyes to simply sense her ki, Dabura could have sworn the real Towa was standing before him. ''NUAH!!'' A brief grey aura surrounded Astral before fading, the energy swap was completed, even if the Saiyan had done it unintentionally out of rage.
"... You gained her energy, her ki, haven't you?" Dabura asked.

''I... I did?'' Astral calmed down, realising he was right. ''Whoa!'' Her anger suddenly sprouted into glee, it worked! And she felt completely fine! ''You know I tried to copy my mother once, but it drained and almost killed me in a minute! This though feels comfortable! I guess that's because of my power gap over Towa, whereas my mom was WAY stronger than me.'' She looked at her hands, feeling slightly ecstatic with this new energy coursing through her veins.
"A step closer to the revival of Cara, excellent."

''Hey, I guess your stupid torture actually helped!'' Astral smiled at Towa.

"Well look at that, we all win here." Towa said, before turning to Dabura. "Now help her use it, I can't just do it with mere words alone."

Dabura nodded, then approached Astral. "You ready?"
''Sure am!'' Astral’s body started to glow as her hair dropped back to Towa's normal style, and her outfit back to the red latex bodysuit, however even her throat shined for several seconds as she smiled, opening her eyes to face Dabura. ''Ready when you are...'' She said with Towa's voice.

When Astral looked up, she saw Towa once again in full, in this dream. "So, is it like before?" However, unlike last time, the whole space is completely black.

''Mmm...'' She groaned, clearly displeased about seeing Towa again. ''Where are we? This isn't one of my dreams...'' She stood up and wiped the dust off her new thighs.
"If you have no control over it, it might be my own this time. Lemme see..." Trying to control this dreamscape, Towa's imagination paved the way for the Demon Realm to emerge from the blackness of space.

''Great... I can smell the evil...'' Astral frowned.

"Oh, you want true evil?" The landscape then changed to Towa's own personal Hell, the one she was trapped in with some goofballs in the background on a stage.

''This doesn't look much worse. Who are those guys? Friends of yours?'' Astral noticed they appeared to be doing a strange slow dance.

"Ginyu's friends, and a goddess, I got sent to his Hell in his place after my death." Towa pointed her finger at Astral and raised it up, causing Astral to uncontrollably float.

''Ah? Hey! Wait, this is Ginyu's hell!? Why are you here then?'' Astral didn't like being under Towa's power, this was supposed to be a time where she was resting!
The demoness then guided her finger onto the stage, where she slammed Astral down. "Have fun doing what I am being tortured to 24/7." And then... Astral started to uncontrollably dance.

''EH!?'' Astral felt a collar magically appear around her neck, as her body automatically danced in sync to the other members on the stage in a comical fashion. ''CUT IT OUT!!''

''Oh? Another Towa has joined us? There were two of you?'' A blue haired woman asked in curiosity. Her eyes indicated she was exhausted, she must have been doing this a long time.

''Ah? Who the heck are you?'' Astral followed her movements unintentionally, losing total control over herself.
"If you are really trying to become me, then you should suffer what I had to suffer through. The pain, the idiots, and this dancing." Towa was now wearing her bikini, facing away.

This simply infuriated Astral, who tried hopping off the stage in protest. ''Hey, I never did anything bad to you in my dream!''

''Ah, I wouldn't do that Towa's twin, bad call!'' The blue haired lady behind her yelled.

''I'm not Towa, my name is Astral!'' She barked.

''Oho, THE Astral?'' The blue haired lady suddenly looked away in shame, however her body continued busting embarrassing and revealing dance poses.

Towa looked behind, seeing Astral off the stage and smiled. "Shouldn't have done that." Just then, the collar shocked Astral violently.
As she was shaking violently on the ground, two spectral magical hands appeared from the base on the stage, and hoisted Astral back next to the blue haired girl, where a jolt ran up from her feet causing the rest of her body to spin around into a pose similar to what Captain Ginyu would do. ''N-No!''

Just then, Astral awoke. And just like last time, the artifact was on the desk next to her. "Well, that was a fun one." Towa said smugly.

Frowning at the frame being next to her once again and at what had just happened, Astral sounded furious. ''You... YOU TRICKED ME! I was nice to you in my dream!'' Astral poked the picture frame where Towa's nose was hard. ''Why didn't you help me!?''
"My dream, my rules. In a Hell like that, I would want to have things go my way and have fun with it." Towa answered.

Dabura then entered. "Astral."

However Astral didn't respond, instead her hair was flickering up and down, as purple bolts of electricity began splinting out of Astral's body. Dabura sensed something odd, her energy was becoming weaker as she was powering up, however more importantly it was matching that of his sisters, in fact if he closed his eyes to simply sense her ki, Dabura could have sworn the real Towa was standing before him. ''NUAH!!'' A brief grey aura surrounded Astral before fading, the energy swap was completed, even if the Saiyan had done it unintentionally out of rage.
"... You gained her energy, her ki, haven't you?" Dabura asked.

''I... I did?'' Astral calmed down, realising he was right. ''Whoa!'' Her anger suddenly sprouted into glee, it worked! And she felt completely fine! ''You know I tried to copy my mother once, but it drained and almost killed me in a minute! This though feels comfortable! I guess that's because of my power gap over Towa, whereas my mom was WAY stronger than me.'' She looked at her hands, feeling slightly ecstatic with this new energy coursing through her veins.
"A step closer to the revival of Cara, excellent."

''Hey, I guess your stupid torture actually helped!'' Astral smiled at Towa.

"Well look at that, we all win here." Towa said, before turning to Dabura. "Now help her use it, I can't just do it with mere words alone."

Dabura nodded, then approached Astral. "You ready?"
''Sure am!'' Astral’s body started to glow as her hair dropped back to Towa's normal style, and her outfit back to the red latex bodysuit, however even her throat shined for several seconds as she smiled, opening her eyes to face Dabura. ''Ready when you are...'' She said with Towa's voice.
