Battle on the Arc, All Hail the One True Chikimaru

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen listened as everyone spoke around him their voices seeming distant when an old familiar voice spoke not that far from him, the voice that belonged to the individual Reyzen held above everyone else; Bussel. He listened as his father began to argue over the fact that he was going to be erased and Ruba insisting it was the only way and he began to chuckle as he looked up, his shattered pupils looking towards Bussel as black viscous ichor oozed from his eyes as if he was crying tar. The world around his shook and grew static as he shot one final mental message to his best friend "I'm sorry Bussel, please forgive me for this."
Reyzen said mentally as he looked up towards his father and rose to his feet.
"The two of us cannot occupy the same linear space, which is why Ruba must slay me if The One True were to touch me we would both merge and cease to exist. It appears your 'brother' is giving you a second chance at being a father, unfortunately I most certainly won't. So either die or step aside and let a true warrior give me my honorable death!"
Reyzen snarled, he had accepted his fate and knew that there was no escape, it wasn't just his father and Ruba now, it was his aunt uncle and cousin alongside with them and if they were all here he knew the Omni King wouldn't be that far away.

[Bussel]

Bussel stood listening to his father speak and as he heard him explain things he could only remain silent as the information was both over whelming and hard to grasp. He knew his parents took on all new paths but as he looked at his cousin, his only best friend he could see the strange corruption.

He then listened to both his mother and uncle speak but as they did he could only look at his cousin. He saw the black tears and he could hear his voice in his head and as he heard it he lost his resolve and tears came to his eyes.

He then looked back at his cousin who resolved at his fate and he said silently to him, "I'm sorry too..."

He then looked at the other Reyzen but he didn't know how to feel. Instead he looked over at his father and then at his mother and he said, "I can't...i can't stay and watch this...this terrifies me to think you could so easily do such a thing to one of our family members...im sorry..." he said with such a heavy heart and turned and went outside into one of the halls and felt tears fall off his cheeks.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas was quiet as he listened to the long explanation that his brother was providing everyone. Despite the fact there was some aspect he didn't get, mainly because no one really told him much about the chikimaru name and clan.

He let's a small sigh escape him and just shakes his head. "Its always gotta be something when it comes to our family huh? Even when we sit there and attempt to find peace, something always fucks it up in the long run." After hearing Reyzen, Rasha and Bussel speak, he once again sighed. "I don't like this. Something about this just stinks. To erase a family member like this brother, are we sure that this is the right choice? I'm not doubting your judgment, but destiny is a messed up mistress when it wants to be"

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Bussel stood listening to his father speak and as he heard him explain things he could only remain silent as the information was both over whelming and hard to grasp. He knew his parents took on all new paths but as he looked at his cousin, his only best friend he could see the strange corruption.

He then listened to both his mother and uncle speak but as they did he could only look at his cousin. He saw the black tears and he could hear his voice in his head and as he heard it he lost his resolve and tears came to his eyes.

He then looked back at his cousin who resolved at his fate and he said silently to him, "I'm sorry too..."

He then looked at the other Reyzen but he didn't know how to feel. Instead he looked over at his father and then at his mother and he said, "I can't...i can't stay and watch this...this terrifies me to think you could so easily do such a thing to one of our family members...im sorry..." he said with such a heavy heart and turned and went outside into one of the halls and felt tears fall off his cheeks.

Reyzen heard as Bussel spoke and felt his eyes on him the entire time he stared at him and when Bussel apologized Reyzen felt himself start to shake, his emotions were running wild and he couldn't hide it anymore. He heard Bussel break and rush the room and watched him burst through the doors to the hallway, and he slammed slammed his fist into his father's side sending him stumbling away. For the first time ever he stood proud and straight up in front of Ruba.
"Busse... Uncle, I accepted my fate...until what happened just now. I have done...some really fucked up...things and I know I must...pay the consequences... I cannot let Bussel's last memory of me being like...this. I can keep...my sanity long...enough to show him I fucked...up and this...is my fault, allow me this last request...I BEG YOU!!!"
Reyzen struggled to say and he looked up his pupils locked on his Uncle who nodded softly and he saw his father begin to approach once more and he quickly gut punched him causing Devlin to drop to a knee.
"Stay out of my...business Father."
He said firmly as he stumbled to the door and threw it open and entered the hall as he heard his father get up and rush the door. Reyzen slammed the doors shut and dropped to a knee, his sense of control was starting to grow and he looked up at his cousin crying in the hall.
"Busse...don't cry...over what...I have become...I let him...in...ate his bullshit...and fell victim...to my own...lost cause. I...forgot everyone...who loved me....who I loved...my family..."
Reyzen said slowly as he began to sob, he trembled like he was frozen to the bone and he did his best to regain his composure as he looked up at Bussel, his eyes slowly gleaming a pale blue through their shattered iris.
"I...don't want you to hate...me...I deserve....it..but...i never stopped caring...about you...the Crusher's...I blamed myself...for what they did..to you...and...i fell...to his...trap. Please...brother...remember that...I always...loved you."
Reyzen said and tried to rise to his feet slowly swaying side to side as if he were ready to just pass out.

[Ruba]

Ruba listened as everyone started questioning him and his motives and he listened as Rasha told him to be honest with Bussel about this. Before Ruba had an opportunity, Bussel apologized and left the room. Ruba was going to reach for his son, but watch as Reyzen punched Devlin and stood to face him. He listened as Reyzen requested to speak with Bussel and apologize to him for what he became. Ruba gave him a nod as Reyzen made his way to the door as Devlin raced after him. Once the door slammed in Devlin's face, Ruba walked toward him and grabbed him by the back of his collar and tossed him backwards towards the broken Arc Core.

Ruba turned and stared at Devlin as he said, "Your not wrong Sebas. It seems our family is always a cruel joke to the mistress of fate. As for you, Devlin..." Ruba began to walk toward Devlin and his aura flared. He picked up Devlin by his collar and slapped Devlin across the face and threw him back to the ground. Ruba stared down at Devlin and said, "You think you can be the boy's father after ignoring him for twenty three years? Let me tell you something, Devlin. You have no right to act like a father to that boy when you left him and your wife to fulfill your own desires. Do you know what your suppose to do with family, Destroyer of Universe Thirteen? Your suppose to share your dreams and aspirations with them so you can celebrate your successes together."

Ruba crossed his arms as he continued to stare at Devlin and continued to speak, "You left that boy the day he was born and he had know idea who his father was. He is practically mine and Rasha's child, not yours. You abandoned your family to acheive your own goals and now you are seeing what happened. At this moment, Reyzen has had to fight your failed clone and I was the one who had to kill him. You even expected him to accept your other child in Conton City. You have put that boy through so much hell that you have no right to call yourself his father."

Ruba turned his back toward Devlin and said, "Now sit there and accept that fact your son is more of a man than you. Unlike you, Reyzen is attempting to mend his relationship with his best friend and brother and face his death with honor. Something we both know you would not be able to do. I want to see those boys come to an understanding and I'll be DAMNED if you think you can get in the way!" Ruba lifted his finger and the gravity around Devlin increased to an amount where he wasnt able to move.

[Bussel]

Reyzen heard as Bussel spoke and felt his eyes on him the entire time he stared at him and when Bussel apologized Reyzen felt himself start to shake, his emotions were running wild and he couldn't hide it anymore. He heard Bussel break and rush the room and watched him burst through the doors to the hallway, and he slammed slammed his fist into his father's side sending him stumbling away. For the first time ever he stood proud and straight up in front of Ruba.
"Busse... Uncle, I accepted my fate...until what happened just now. I have done...some really fucked up...things and I know I must...pay the consequences... I cannot let Bussel's last memory of me being like...this. I can keep...my sanity long...enough to show him I fucked...up and this...is my fault, allow me this last request...I BEG YOU!!!"
Reyzen struggled to say and he looked up his pupils locked on his Uncle who nodded softly and he saw his father begin to approach once more and he quickly gut punched him causing Devlin to drop to a knee.
"Stay out of my...business Father."
He said firmly as he stumbled to the door and threw it open and entered the hall as he heard his father get up and rush the door. Reyzen slammed the doors shut and dropped to a knee, his sense of control was starting to grow and he looked up at his cousin crying in the hall.
"Busse...don't cry...over what...I have become...I let him...in...ate his bullshit...and fell victim...to my own...lost cause. I...forgot everyone...who loved me....who I loved...my family..."
Reyzen said slowly as he began to sob, he trembled like he was frozen to the bone and he did his best to regain his composure as he looked up at Bussel, his eyes slowly gleaming a pale blue through their shattered iris.
"I...don't want you to hate...me...I deserve....it..but...i never stopped caring...about you...the Crusher's...I blamed myself...for what they did..to you...and...i fell...to his...trap. Please...brother...remember that...I always...loved you."
Reyzen said and tried to rise to his feet slowly swaying side to side as if he were ready to just pass out.

Bussel was out in the hall coping with all he heard and saw when the door opened and he saw Reyzen come out. He looked over at him and heard what he said and he said, "My tears are for the horror and sadness of what I'm seeing here...I don't even fully understand what is happening, but what upsets me most is how come you never came to me when things started going bad?...why did it have to go this far??..."

He then heard what Reyzen said and saw him sway and look as if he was about to pass out and he reached out and grabbed him just as his legs gave out under him. He then dropped down to his knees as he held him and he said, "I don't hate you...I could never hate you ...what I hate is not being able to help you and now knowing what my father plans to do to you and I can't stand thinking about it...I'm so sorry..." he said and held him as he said him still suffer from his affliction.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin was sent to the side with a critical lunch to the side by Reyzen who asked Ruba to speak with Bussel, Devlin quickly recovered and tried to approach Reyzen when he was met with another blow by his son causing him to hurl over. When he was able to stand up he saw Reyzen heading towards the door and began to approach it when he was snatched up by the collar by Ruba slapped across the face and sent across the room. Devlin thudded against the ground as Ruba for the first time ever spoke down to him and he felt his blood boil, when he tried to rise he felt an immense pressure force him back down as Ruba proceeded to tell him he was no father to Reyzen and never would be and that the two boys talking must happen.
“Rrrrr… don’t blame me when he kills your son then. You know so much about my clan but seem to ignore the fact that I never asked to be like this, if I’m that much of a disappointment and regret to you maybe you should have let me die after Namek hell maybe you should have let Mushoon kill me. I wasn’t taught to be a parent I was raised to kill, so you’re right in saying that I have no claim to the title of a father but at the end of the day I can’t do something I was never taught to do.”
Devlin said feeling the tears run down his face and he ceased resisting Ruba’s restraints.
“I’m sorry I failed him…”

[Ruba]

Ruba listened as Devlin struggled against his pressure and yelled at him for what he said. Mentioning how Reyzen could kill Bussel and his finger twitched and his hair began to rise up. Instead of lashing out at Devlin, he took a deep breath and listened to him speak more. He listened as Devlin told him he should have been left for dead after namek or to be killed by Mushoom. Ruba felt his heart sink as Devlin made these bold claims and it wounded him more than Devlin would know. He listened as Devlin blamed his upbringing and apologized for failing Devlin.

Ruba turned and looked over his shoulder at Devlin with a tear falling down his cheek. He turned his attention back to the door as he said, "If you feel your life was meaningless then I'm sorry. I tried to save my best friend from a life of torture. As for you being brought back after dying on Namek, I have no idea who brought you back. I was planning to bring you back, but someone else did. As for failing at being a father, I thought you would have learned from the king. He showed you affection and treated you like a son the day I brought you to him,"

Ruba paused a moment and began to walk towards the door. As he was about to open the door he said, "You treated Reyzen as if he was a foriegn person to you. You treated your adopted son, Escar, as if he was your own flesh and blood and you treated Reyzen as if he was the red headed step child. You knew how to be a father, but you decided that Reyzen wasn't worth your effort. Fourteen years of isolation was the minimum of him being left alone and you decided to extend it for twenty three years. You can act like a blameless victim, but we know that isn't true, is it? We both know the day you stopped being a parent was the day you killed Escar. After that you became so wrapped up in your own head and work that you forgot the man you were. You not only failed Reyzen, you failed everyone in this GOD DAMN ROOM!!!"

Ruba walked out the door and saw his son and Reyzen embracing. Ruba could tell that Reyzen was struggling to keep control and he could see the hatred in his son's eyes as he appeared. He bent down and lifted the boys up and offered his shoulder to Reyzen. As Reyzen accepted his shoulder, Ruba walked the boy back into the Arc Core room. He brought Reyzen over to a pillar and leaned him against it. Ruba looked into the shattered iris of Reyzen and said, "Its almost time, son, but I have one last thing to do before we go through with this. Can you wait a little longer?"

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen fell to the ground as he saw Bussel get up and catch him and the two of them slowly sat down as Bussel held him close and spoke to him.
“I…couldn’t tell…you…DarkRune…would have…made me…kill you…I had…to protect…you…you’re always…all I…had to…cherish…I should…have ignored…him..with me…gone you…shall be…truly safe.”
Reyzen said as he slowly felt himself calm down when he heard Ruba come out. He felt his uncle help him up and Reyzen reluctantly dropped his head on his shoulder and walked with his uncle back into the Core room.
"I…I’m…s..suh-suh-sorry..ev-ever-ever-everyone…s-s-so c-c-cold…”
Reyzen stuttered as he began to shake slightly

[Bussel]

Reyzen fell to the ground as he saw Bussel get up and catch him and the two of them slowly sat down as Bussel held him close and spoke to him.
“I…couldn’t tell…you…DarkRune…would have…made me…kill you…I had…to protect…you…you’re always…all I…had to…cherish…I should…have ignored…him..with me…gone you…shall be…truly safe.”
Reyzen said as he slowly felt himself calm down when he heard Ruba come out. He felt his uncle help him up and Reyzen reluctantly dropped his head on his shoulder and walked with his uncle back into the Core room.
"I…I’m…s..suh-suh-sorry..ev-ever-ever-everyone…s-s-so c-c-cold…”
Reyzen stuttered as he began to shake slightly

As Bussel sat on the floor and held his cousin...his brother...his best friend and only friend in his hands he heard him speak and he groaned in pain and he said with much pain in his voice, "Oh no...I would rather die myself than see you suffer this...and now it's even worse because now I have to watch you die because you was not brave enough to ask me for help..." He said and paused then said, "...I may be safe but now I'm gonna be alone and I don't know who to trust anymore..." He said and held him tight.

The two of them sat there for a moment of silence and sorrow and then he heard the door behind him open and he knew his father came out and was standing behind him. He then felt his Father's hand on his shoulder and he was then separated from Reyzen and then forced to his feet.

Reyzen then was forced force Arc's core room and he stood silent as he watched his father's force Reyzen against a pillar and as he watched he felt utter cold in his bones. He still couldn't believe his father could be so cold.

[Ruba]

Ruba heard as Reyzen apologies to everyone for what was going on as he leaned him againt a pillar. His heart sank and he could feel his family judging him harshly, but none of them hurt nearly as bad as the hateful gaze of his own son. Ruba looked to all of his family present and gave a deep sigh. Ruba knew he had to say something, but his heart was stuck in his throat and all he wanted to do was cry. He looked to his wife and mouthed "I'm sorry" to her. He then looked to his younger brother, Sebas, and gave him a nod. Ruba looked toward Devlin, who was still slumped on the ground.

Ruba then looked to the Elder Sage and gave him a nod as well, all while trying to fight back tears. Finally, his gaze fell on Bussel. He could see the fear and hatred in his son's eyes and knew that with this act, he would lose his son. Ruba cleared his throat and said, "What needs to be done is not something I take no joy in. Erasing one of my own family members is something I thought I'd never have to do. My heart breaks knowing that this is the only way to save Reyzen from the monster he would become and the torture he is suffering through. If I could I would take his place and let him continue to live knowing we, as his family, are always here for him."

Ruba began to choke on his tears, but they wouldnt stop him from saying what he need to say. He was going to let Reyzen know how much he was going to be missed and how he truly felt about the boy. Ruba took a deep breath and said, "I was there the day Reyzen was born and I remembered the joy on all of our faces when he let out his first cries. Even though Devlin may not have been around for much of Reyzen's life... I know he is still proud of him. When Devlin meant to leave Reyzen in isolation, we as a family, made sure he was never alone. It was our jobs to make sure he grew up happy and healthy. We raised him along side Bussel as his brother, and I treat Reyzen as if he was my own son."

The tears flowed freely from Ruba as he gripped his bare chest in pain as he felt his heart breaking. He cried out, "I don't want to take him away from us, but he is suffering! He is suffering from what DarkRune forced him into and I, with all my power, can't do anything to save him from this! I am not only a failure as the Left Hand, but I am also a failure as a father. I have to kill a boy that I watched grow into a strong and independant man, because of another beings actions. I have to kill my nephew and watch as my family breaks apart and resents me for what I have to do. My own son..." Ruba pointed at Bussel, "Will never look at me as his father again! Only as the cold hearted monster that took his best friend and brother away from him!"

Ruba looked to Rasha with blood shot eyes and said, "My wife will see me no more as a caring and compassionate husband. She will see me as a destroyer who will stop at nothing to keep the balance, even if it means killing my own family." Ruba turned his attention toward Sebas and said, "My little brother will live in constant fear, wondering if he is next due to his birthright. Wondering when I will turn on him just because of who his ancestor was." Ruba looked over toward the broken Devlin and took a deep breath before saying, "My best friend will never be able to look at me again. I have said so many hurtful things that he needed to hear, but that doesn't matter. After this is over... I will be the villian and my own family won't want anything to do with me. It's like the Omni-king said... to be the Left Hand... I would have to lose the most valuable thing to me."

Ruba let out a cry of absolute pain before slamming his fist into the wall. He tried his best to compose himself, but it wasn't going to be easy. He slammed his fist into the wall over and over again until he began to bleed from his knuckles. Ruba then took a deep breath and said, "I know I can't replace Reyzen, but I can make sure a piece of him lives on." Ruba closed his eyes and established a connection between the two Reyzens and began to transfer his nephew's memories into the Elder Sage. After a few minutes of silence, Ruba finished the process and looked over to his nephew. A dower smile was on his face as he said, "I'll let everyone come and say their final goodbyes, but once that's done... It'll be time. Everyone... please say farewell to Reyzen Chikimaru, First son of Devlin and Kara Chikimaru, Master of the Arc and Stalwart Defender of Azurath..." Ruba exited the Arc Core room to allow everyone to say goodbye without him being there to cause any problems.

[Bussel]

Bussel stood in a state of both sorrow and anger and as he listened to his father speak of Reyzen in the fashion he was speaking he got more and more angry. He then watched as his father turned to leave after he told everyone to say good bye. He felt his heart race and he looked at his cousin who was suffering and he shook his head then went over to his cousin and he said, "He wants me to say good bye...but I can't...I can't accept this as final...i'm sorry...I wish there was something I could do...but this is not fair or a solution...im sorry this had to happen to you..."

Bussel then looked around at everyone and for the first time he wished he was never born to this family. It terrified him how cruel things have been. He then lost all his nerves and he turned and left out of the room and went after his father As he caught up with him he said, "Father!...I know you think this is the only option you have but i know you dont really believe that...you have the power of the gods and you also work for the most powerful being in the multiverse...you gotta believe there is another way...you need to see if the Omni King has a solution...I know you dont want to do this...please!!..." He said and looked up into his father's eyes and he could see his pain and he knew he was right.

[Rasha]

Rasha watched her son as he tried to cope with this. She felt sadness for her son and she felt pity for Reyzen.

The air in the room was filled with emotions that clashed like lightning bolts. She then listened to the hope in her sons voice as he spoke to Reyzen and she felt her own stomach knot up as she heard him. She then watched as he left Reyzen's side and she then sighed and walked up to him and as she did she could hear the pain in his head and she bent down and grabbed Reyzen by the arms and the two of them locked eyes and she pulled him in and hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Be strong."

She then looked at him and said, "I know I should say goodbye but I cant...you are my other son...and though not by blood you are precious and I'm so sad this happened to you...you need to be strong through this." She said and kissed him on the forehead then released him and stepped away.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas was shaking in a fit of anger and anguish. To see Ruba act the way he did, especially to their own family, was something he was trying to push deep into his heart. Hearing everyone say goodbye to Reyzen, he knew that this wasnt a dream. This was really going to happen. He was gonna lose a member of the family and there was nothing he could.

He stopped shaking for a moment so he could be professional about this. He approached Reyzen and as he spoke, his voice sounded like he was holding back the pain. "Now, y you know that I hate saying goodbye. H hell, i dont think i can say that even now. So, i can only say this. You were a proud warrior and extraordinary young man. Ugh, this is hard! He clears his throat then continues. "M man, learning about the Arc is gonna suck without you. I'm not going to give you up. I won't lose anymore family." Realizing that he was gonna do something stupid, he steps away and trying to remain calm.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen was pinned top a pillar as he listened to his uncle talk, pain filling him with every syllable out of Ruba's mouth he could tell his uncle was terrified and heart broken to have to do this. When Ruba went to walk away and give everyone their chance to say goodbye he watched his cousin approach and apologize about what had to happen to him and before he could say anything he watched him runover to Ruba begging for another way. The next to approach him was Rasha who he could feel the pain of as she spoke words of bravery and wisdom to him and Reyzen's face broke as he pressed his forehead against hers and when he lifted his head she kissed his forehead and stepped away. Following suit was Sebas who seemed confused from the situation but understanding of what was coming, his uncle spoke to him kind words like he always did and Reyzen smiled softly at him, out of everyone he wished Sebas true peace but knew that his family wouldn't be able to do it with all these problems he caused. When Sebas stepped away Reyzen turned to his father who still remained prone on the ground shaking madly, Reyzen suddenly came to the realization that he didn't hate his father when an overwhelming pain overcame him. His veins bulged as he strained to not scream out in pain and he shut his eyes waiting for what came next.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin listened as Ruba brought the boys back in and spoke of everyone giving their last farewell to the boy, Devlin almost got up from his prone position but the words Ruba spoke were true. He had no right to speak to him or take claim as his father, he did the exact opposite of what a father would do. He listened as his nephew, sister, and brother in law all came up and said their goodbyes and when they finished he began to shake. Reyzen's energy spiked massively again and when Devlin did look up he could tell his son was in so much pain that he couldn't think, Devlin slowly rose to his feet and looked towards the new Reyzen.

[Alpha Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen watched as everyone acted in their own justified ways and felt himself be drowned in emotional confusion, never before in his life had he seen so much emotion especially from his father. He knew that they were all suffering from the pain of having to erase his other self and he found it taboo, what would hold them so close to this monster that they were contemplating not killing it? He gripped his sword and stepped forward stopping a few feet away from Reyzen and stared deeply in his eyes, the shattered iris was starting to reform together as if something that had recently occurred had helped him come to his senses.
"Your poor soul is struggling against the curse, to the point you have begun to reverse the effects of it... Your Bussel is my BloodBourne, yet you allowed such a toxic manipulative parasite get into your head... These people are dying inside at the thought of your death, that confuses me so... To think I came here to slay what my creation did to you and now I for the first time in my epochs of life am second guessing myself..."
Reyzen said and slowly drew his sword and stabbed it into the floor and sighed.
"I have a way that may help him but it will take the power of someone capable of taking my godhood from me, it may merge us spiritually and some characteristics of him may resemble myself after. The other is if we became one, through me impaling myself with the Light Blade after passing it down to the boy. I say this because the concept of love has been lost to me for so long, and I have never truly understood what it is like to have a family but it feels like a way to help."
Reyzen said mentally to the others involved and waited for their choice.

[Ruba]

Ruba was trying to deal with his emotions after leaving the Arc Room. He knew that everyone was on edge and him making this decision must be hard on them. He was still trying to think if there was another way to deal with this. He was thinking when his son appeared next to him. He listened as his son pleaded with him and tried to help him think of a plan. He heard Bussel mention mention the Omni-king and growled. He looked at Bussel with tears streaming down his face and said, "I know that, but we have no way of getting the Omni-king here fast enough. It's not like i have a magical butt-" Ruba paused for a moment and thought back to an item the Omni-king gave him.

His face lightened up as he smiled at his son. He reached down and grabbed his son and lifted him into the air. While smiling, Ruba said, "That's it, Bussel! Thank you so much for reminding me!" Ruba set Bussel down and saw that the Elder Sage was standing in front of Reyzen with his sword in the ground. He shook his head and said, "Everyone! I think I have a way to save Reyzen. I just... I just need everyone to be on their best behavior, especially you, Sebas." Ruba pulled out a small button with a purple side and a blue side. He took a deep breath and pressed the blue button and the air around Ruba shifted as the small child like form of the Omni-king appeared. Ruba dropped to a knee and said, "Lord Zeno, please i beg you to help us. I don't have the strength to kill one of my own family. Are you capable of saving him, my lord?"

[Zeno]

The Omni King, his two guards and the grand priest appeared upon being summoned and as he did he looked at his left hand and he said, "I have been watching you and I was about to come to you but I am proud you figured out how to summon me...now I believe this is a more serious occasion and because it is I am gonna show my true self...it will be easier to talk with you and your family...now stand up." He said as he looked at Ruba. He then stepped back and as he did he merged with his guards and became his true omnipotent self.

He then looked around and at everyone and then his eyes fell on the two Reyzens. One who was sick with a evil afliction and the other who was old and magical. The elder Reyzen was out of his place and he knew he was not part of this universe. He then stepped forward and looked at the affected Reyzen and then at the elder one and he said, "I see the afliction this one has and I can remove it but part of him will be damaged...and you..." He said and turned to the elder and said, "This universe is not capable to have two Reyzens and I heard what you said and if you are true to doing this I can help you and alow you to exit this eternal life you have had but an essence of your self will reside with this Reyzen...do understand there is no time to discuss this so this decision is a final one."

He then turned to the sick and ailing Reyzen and he held a hand over the boys head and as he did a bright light formed and the evil that was corrupting Reyzen was drawn out of Reyzen. As he drew this out he used his other hand to draw out the elder Reyzens Immortality and then once it was out he took the elders immortality and essence and moved it over to the other and sent it into Reyzen allowing his body to heal and gain aspects of the other Reyzen.

Once that was done Zeno then turned to Ruba and said, “It’s time to set things straight, I chose you to be my left hand but to have that role I need you to not allow for these personal family issues to happen so I have a solution that will settle things…you have known for a time I had plans for your family and now its time to set it in motion…it is time for your family to get their assigned roles....are you ready for this?...”

[Alpha Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen watched as Ruba summoned a deity of power and origin Reyzen knew not of, at first it appeared to be a child of some sort until he merged with his attendants to maintain his true form which resembled that of an adult. The deity spoke to Ruba and then the version of Reyzen who belonged here, after he spoke with them he began to heal the corruption and then turned to him stating that both of them could not remain and giving him permission to do what he suggested. The alpha stepped forward and drew his sword from the ground and began to mutter an incantation to himself as a symbol began to form above the damaged Reyzen's left pectoral, with a swift motion he slashed the sword through the air and drove it through his stomach causing a spray of goldish blood. The alpha slowly stumbled and dropped to a knee as a vibrant golden aura began to surround him and then connected the two versions of Reyzen together.
"So this is what death feels like...my blade shall be your weapon now...use the blessing of Zalmada wisely young Chikimaru..."
He said as his body slowly became transparent and when he looked over to the Omni King he mouthed Thank you and dissipated in shining specks of dust and energy

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen watched as Ruba summoned a deity of power and origin Reyzen knew not of, at first it appeared to be a child of some sort until he merged with his attendants to maintain his true form which resembled that of an adult. The deity spoke to Ruba and then the version of Reyzen who belonged here, after he spoke with them he began to heal the corruption and then turned to him stating that both of them could not remain and giving him permission to do what he suggested.

"So this is what death feels like...my blade shall be your weapon now...use the blessing of Zalmada wisely young Chikimaru..."
He said as his body slowly became transparent and when he looked over to the Omni King he mouthed Thank you and dissipated in shining specks of dust and energy

Reyzen watched as the Omni King, his attendants, and the Grand Priest arrived after being called by Ruba and slowly began to feel panicked, when he heard the Omni King begin to speak after assuming his true form for the first time in front of him he could tell he was not here to destroy but to save. The Omni King approached him and began to heal his affliction the turned to the Elder Sage who impaled himself and gave his life force and power to him until he dusted away into nothingness, he felt the hold of Ruba dissipate and he slid to his knees his eyes locked on the sword in front of him. His blue skin slowly began to turn the color of his Saiyan heritage as he felt his genetic signature change slightly to a full blooded saiyan, his scarred skin from where his arms were torn off slowly disappeared and his body began to show tattoos from the various wars that were on the Alpha, his long white hair had began to darken taking to a silvery hue and his pale blue eyes shifted to an adamant purple. He slowly rose and as he did he pulled the sword from the floor and memories began to wash over him, this is when he realized where the White Masked Saiyan was.
"Lord Xeno, I thank you greatly for such kindness and allowing me to continue to exist. If you want it i have information on where the previous Alpha left the monster who caused all of this to happen. I do apologize for speaking directly to you without granted permission."
He said speaking the way he was raised to by his aunt and uncle, his eyes remained at the floor until being told to look at Xeno

[Bussel]

Ruba was trying to deal with his emotions after leaving the Arc Room. He knew that everyone was on edge and him making this decision must be hard on them. He was still trying to think if there was another way to deal with this. He was thinking when his son appeared next to him. He listened as his son pleaded with him and tried to help him think of a plan. He heard Bussel mention mention the Omni-king and growled. He looked at Bussel with tears streaming down his face and said, "I know that, but we have no way of getting the Omni-king here fast enough. It's not like i have a magical butt-" Ruba paused for a moment and thought back to an item the Omni-king gave him.

His face lightened up as he smiled at his son. He reached down and grabbed his son and lifted him into the air. While smiling, Ruba said, "That's it, Bussel! Thank you so much for reminding me!" Ruba set Bussel down and saw that the Elder Sage was standing in front of Reyzen with his sword in the ground. He shook his head and said, "Everyone! I think I have a way to save Reyzen. I just... I just need everyone to be on their best behavior, especially you, Sebas." Ruba pulled out a small button with a purple side and a blue side. He took a deep breath and pressed the blue button and the air around Ruba shifted as the small child like form of the Omni-king appeared. Ruba dropped to a knee and said, "Lord Zeno, please i beg you to help us. I don't have the strength to kill one of my own family. Are you capable of saving him, my lord?"

Bussel was looking at his father with a look of desperate hope and when he heard his father stumble over contacting the Omni King he felt his breath catch in his throat. He then watched as his father went back into the room and he followed behind and as he did he heard what he said to the others and he then watched as he summoned the Omni King and he stood in silent shock and with his breath caught in his throat as he prayed for a miracle.

As He watched the Omni King he saw what happened to Reyzen and saw the evil taint get cleared away and then he saw him do something to change his cousin and he watched in silent awe as his cousin changed and his skin color turned to the same as his. He then whispered, "Reyzen...??"

[Zeno]

Reyzen watched as Ruba summoned a deity of power and origin Reyzen knew not of, at first it appeared to be a child of some sort until he merged with his attendants to maintain his true form which resembled that of an adult. The deity spoke to Ruba and then the version of Reyzen who belonged here, after he spoke with them he began to heal the corruption and then turned to him stating that both of them could not remain and giving him permission to do what he suggested. The alpha stepped forward and drew his sword from the ground and began to mutter an incantation to himself as a symbol began to form above the damaged Reyzen's left pectoral, with a swift motion he slashed the sword through the air and drove it through his stomach causing a spray of goldish blood. The alpha slowly stumbled and dropped to a knee as a vibrant golden aura began to surround him and then connected the two versions of Reyzen together.
"So this is what death feels like...my blade shall be your weapon now...use the blessing of Zalmada wisely young Chikimaru..."
He said as his body slowly became transparent and when he looked over to the Omni King he mouthed Thank you and dissipated in shining specks of dust and energy

Zeno watched as the spiritual merger caused the older Reyzen to dissipate and dissolve. He then saw as he mouthed thank you before he fully vanished and he gave a small nod of approval.

Reyzen watched as the Omni King, his attendants, and the Grand Priest arrived after being called by Ruba and slowly began to feel panicked, when he heard the Omni King begin to speak after assuming his true form for the first time in front of him he could tell he was not here to destroy but to save. The Omni King approached him and began to heal his affliction the turned to the Elder Sage who impaled himself and gave his life force and power to him until he dusted away into nothingness, he felt the hold of Ruba dissipate and he slid to his knees his eyes locked on the sword in front of him.

He said speaking the way he was raised to by his aunt and uncle, his eyes remained at the floor until being told to look at Xeno

Zeno then turned to newly reborn Reyzen and he said, "Stand up and look at me." He said and waited for him to follow his command. When he did he said, "I agreed to do this because this family has been chosed for special reasons by me and because now I I have merged a being who was a god in his own right to your body and because of that I will be adding you into my plan..." He said then paused as he heard Reyzen speak of the cause of these issues that transpired and he said, "I am very much interested in knowing this information and you can tell me but first I have some important work to do." he said then turned to Devlin and he said, "Stand up Devlin..." He said and waited for him to stand up and face him with dignity.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin felt the overwhelming power of the Omni King and immediately bent a knee, his attitude and demeanor swiftly changing into respectful yet intimidated. He watched as Xeno merged the two Reyzens into one and his son changed into his new true form and his affliction was taken away. He listened as Reyzen and Xeno conversed and when Xeno turned to him and told him to rise his heart began to race madly in his chest, with how he had recently acted he would not be surprised if this was his end.
“Yes Lord Omni King?”
Devlin said timidly

[Zeno]

Zeno looked at Devlin and he said,“Devlin…you have been giving the powers of god of destruction and your soul is tied to Akumo and before he lost his path he was one of the greatest gods of destruction in the multiverse…now I believe you have accessed all of his strengths and even most of his wisdom and also worked to be a better being…now will you officially take on the universe of Akumo’s origins and rebuild it into a universe to be proud of…if you are willing to take on this role I will give you a chance to mend the damaged bond you have with your son and Reyzen will become your angel…though be warned if your heart falls into evil ways there will be no other chances, no reincarnations, and no chance to defend yourself...I will erase you and the universe you reside in...now that you know what is at stake do you accept?” He asked Devlin then looked at Reyzen and said to him,"If you accept the role of his angel you will be his tenant and will be responsible for keeping him on the right path...do you accept this role?..."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin listened as Zeno explained what was going on and his current situation and when he presented him with the option of taking Reyzen as his angel back to Universe 13 with him he found it as a second chance at being a father. Devlin smiled warmly and chuckled at the thought happily as he looked towards Reyzen, from what Zeno had said Devlin could understand his skepticism about his loyalty.
“Of course Lord Omni King, it would be an honor to have Reyzen accompany me as my angel. Perhaps giving the boy a few to adjust with his cousin would be in his better interest, this whole situation has been overly stressful for all of us especially him.”
Devlin said calmly as he looked in his sons direction.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen heard his cousin whisper his name and a smirk formed on his face as he looked over at Bussel his eyes glistening like Amethyst’s in the sun and he laughed like himself.
“Sup Busse! Gimme a sec I’ll be right there!”
Reyzen said and looked back at the Omni King who had just given his offer and then overheard what his father said and nodded.
“It would be my eternal honor Lord Zeno, I do agree with my father but only if you give me your approval.”
Reyzen said suggestively trying his best to maintain a straight face in the serious moment and be as respectful as possible.

[Zeno]

Zeno was looking at Devlin and listened to him speak and when he asked for Reyzen to have a moment with Bussel he said, "Yes of course...he can take a moment..." He then gave Reyzen a nod to allow him to go see his cousin.

Zeno turned to Ruba and said, “It’s time to set things straight, I chose you to be my left hand but to have that role I need you to not allow for these personal family issues to happen. I was gonna come on my own but I am glad you summoned me instead…you have known for a time I had plans for your family and now its time to set it in motion, and what I have planned may upset you but you will not loose your ability to see your family…I just need you in your best state of mind.” he said as he looked at Ruba.

He then turned to Rasha and said, “Rasha I know you have been training long and hard with Whis and you have unlocked a lot with him…I need for you to step forward and finish the training by accepting position of angel tenant to universe 14…and as this universe gets its angel it will also get a supreme Kai and for that role I turn to you Sebas…” He said and looked at the both of them and said, “Do you two accept these roles? And yes I do have someone to be your God of destruction."

[Ruba]

Ruba rose from the ground when the Omni-King demanded him to. He listened as he spoke of the plans for them and saved Reyzen. He cursed himself for not thinking of this in the beginning. He watched as the Omni-King informed everyone their upcoming roles. He looked at the ground as he knew in a way he failed. He sighed and only said, "As you decree my lord."

[Rasha]

Rasha looked at the Omni King when she heard what he said, and then she looked at Sebas at Sebas and then at her husband and she then said, “I accept…though who will be my God of Destruction?...” she asked then thought of their daughter Roma who was still so young at just 12 years old. She then asked, "Lord Zeno?...may I ask how I will continue raising my young daughter...she is only 12 years old and is not ready for adulthood..."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas watched quietly as all the events with Reyzen and Zeno unfolded. As the older Reyzen began to fade away, Sebas for some reason could feel his heart breaking almost as if he had lost a brother. Once that had gotten situated, Sebas watched Devlin and Reyzen get their roles under Lord Zeno. When Zeno said that a God of Destruction needed a Supreme kai for universe, Sebas admittedly was caught off guard, but knew the responsibilities that came with this. "I accept the role of Supreme kai of Universe 14, although I do have a question of my own. My family lives on Earth, so am I still able to visit? And with Erebus powers beginning to increase as well as Morganas powers, I'll have to be there to make sure their training is going smoothly."

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen watched as Zeno gave him his approval and he dashed over to Bussel to show off his new look, for the first time in a long time his face glew with happiness as he grabbed his sword and attached it to his left hip.
"I don't know what it is but this old me had some serious power to him, it's kinda scary hahaha. But I got these dope ass tattoos and a brand i guess? Plus my hair turned silver, oh my god. Busse, thank you for saving me!!"
Reyzen said excitedly and hugged his best friend tightly.

[Zeno]

Rasha looked at the Omni King when she heard what he said, and then she looked at Sebas at Sebas and then at her husband and she then said, “I accept…though who will be my God of Destruction?...” she asked then thought of their daughter Roma who was still so young at just 12 years old. She then asked, "Lord Zeno?...may I ask how I will continue raising my young daughter...she is only 12 years old and is not ready for adulthood..."

Zeno then waved a hand and summoned forth Polar who he had already been speaking with prior to coming to this situation. He waited for him to step out of the shadows.

As Zeno watched as Polar stepped out of the shadows he said, “I know the two of you have had many dealing with Polar when he was normal but I have seen him work on helping instead of hindering so I chose him for this role and the two of you will be connected to him…now again I ask, will you both accept these roles as they are extremely important and I have not found anyone else I can trust to handle this…”

[Bussel]

Reyzen watched as Zeno gave him his approval and he dashed over to Bussel to show off his new look, for the first time in a long time his face glowed with happiness as he grabbed his sword and attached it to his left hip.
"I don't know what it is but this old me had some serious power to him, it's kinda scary hahaha. But I got these dope ass tattoos and a brand i guess? Plus my hair turned silver, oh my god. Busse, thank you for saving me!!"
Reyzen said excitedly and hugged his best friend tightly.

Bussel watched as Zeno appeared and began to help Reyzen. He felt his heart skip a beat as he watched and when he saw what Zeno did, and he saw his cousin heal and become whole he felt the tears surface. He then heard what Zeno told his mother and uncle and he was confused but he didn't say anything because his eyes were on Reyzen and when Reyzen finally came over to him and spoke with excitement he couldn't do anything but stare at him.

When Reyzen grabbed him and thanked him for saving him and he just grabbed him and hugged him. Then he said, "I am so glad...now please...don't leave me in the dark. If you need help please ask me!.." He said then pulled away to examine his new look and he said, "I think this new look is pretty cool."

Bussel then looked over at his father and then at the rest of his family and waited to hear more.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Bussel watched as Zeno appeared and began to help Reyzen. He felt his heart skip a beat as he watched and when he saw what Zeno did, and he saw his cousin heal and become whole he felt the tears surface. He then heard what Zeno told his mother and uncle and he was confused but he didn't say anything because his eyes were on Reyzen and when Reyzen finally came over to him and spoke with excitement he couldn't do anything but stare at him.

If you need help please ask me!.." He said then pulled away to examine his new look and he said, "I think this new look is pretty cool."

Bussel then looked over at his father and then at the rest of his family and waited to hear more.

Reyzen felt as Bussels arms wrapped around him and he heard him speak, Bussel asked him to make sure to ask him if he needed help again and he let go. Reyzen bore his typical wide grin as his cousin examined him and complimented it and he chuckled as he crossed his arms, he had forgotten what happiness felt like. Ever since this Elder Sage thing Ruba had mentioned earlier merged with him Reyzen had felt this constant flow of energy higher than anything he had ever achieved, he looked over to his father and saw how he trembled before the Omni King yet stood so proud in front of him.
"Thanks bud... I wonder who my father's Kai is."

[Polar]

Zeno then waved a hand and summoned forth Polar who he had already been speaking with prior to coming to this situation. He waited for him to step out of the shadows.

As Zeno watched as Polar stepped out of the shadows he said, “I know the two of you have had many dealing with Polar when he was normal but I have seen him work on helping instead of hindering so I chose him for this role and the two of you will be connected to him…now again I ask, will you both accept these roles as they are extremely important and I have not found anyone else I can trust to handle this…”

Polar stepped out of the shadows as he was waved to step forward. He didn't know how he arrived at this strange place, but he did as instructed. As he stepped out, he heard the Omni-king speak to Rasha and Sebas about their roles and smiled under his face mask. As he stepped out into the light, his God of Destruction's attire became visible to all present. His black gi pants with a sash with a singular white diamond. Unlike most Gods, where the golden bands should be his where a charcoal color and he was wearing a special version of the boots. His earring was not on his ear, but afixed to his left horn. He gave a bow toward the Omni-king and toward Ruba.

As he raised his head he looked to Rasha and then to Sebas and smirked. He stood once more and said, "Well to think that saiyan woman who nearly killed my father and swore revenge against me and my family for what we did to her brother back on Namek. Now she is to become my angel. I can't say it came to me as a surprise, since I was the one who asked for you to be my angel. As for you, Sebas..." Polar shifted his attention to his rival in more than one way and smirked.

Polar took a deep breath and said, "The saiyan that nearly killed me on Namek, allowed me to get controlled by the greatest monster to ever exist in the known multiverse, and made me do something I'd never thought i had to do. All those years ago, I made a vow to give you something for setting me free from my shackles. I was the one who resurrected Devlin at the cost of four hundred years of MY life. Afterwards we became rivals and I tried to help you control your darkness and now your capable of protecting everything you cherish most. This is why I asked the Omni-king to make you my Supreme Kai. I'd rather a Kai that won't easily be defeated and can help me train with my angel. I hope you both accept your roles." Polar bowed towards them both and kept his head down.

[Zero Otsikuri]

Zero was watching from his point in the now empty universe that him and a few others occupied and as he saw a being come through that he never seen before come through he grew curioue. He also saw the opportunity to vacate the dead universe and go to a new one.

Zero then cloaked himself and as the portal remained open he slipped through and came out on board a space station. His eyes lit up as he felt the technology around him course through his being and he grinned.

He then saw a door open and as it did and others showed up he decided it best to leave the room before being detected. He then slipped out into an empty hall, uncloaked and as he did he took on a new look to match the organic beings on the space station. He then walked off to the control room as he sought out a new power source to recharge his system.

No one on the space station had a clue that analien cybernetic AI being just crossed universes to take up residence on board the unique Arc space Station.

[Rasha]

Rasha listened to the Omni King and she heard who he chose for their God of destruction and her heart raced. She suddenly had a million flashbacks of so many negative images and feelings that she blushed with shame. She also felt a knot in her stomach as she thought of what this could mean and for a moment she felt as though it was a punishment. She then glanced at Ruba with uncertainty and she could see his own look of failure on his face.

Rasha then saw as Polar stepped into the light and he was already assigned the position. His look was both intimidating and commanding. She then heard what he said about her and then what he said about Sebas and she realized her thoughts were for not because this is the only arcosian that didn't seek to just blatenly kill the saiyan race, instead he turned to helping them and this brought to light the understanding in the Omni-King's choice and she gave a nod then said, "I have come to understand alot of things over the last few years before this journey was presented to me and if I can do something to help bring a fruitful universe into being with a proper balance I will...I will be honored to take on this station as your Angel Tenant Polar." She said as she looked at Polar.

She then waited to hear how Sebas would handle his station as Supreme Kai.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas listened to the Omni kings words and the moment he said that Polar was chosen to be his God of Destruction, made him instantly flex his hand, like a reflex. Everything that he had been through with him, all the good and the bad began flooding his mind. He didn't even think that this was even a good idea, rather he thought he was being punished for being Cumbers hellspawn, and also breaking up his family years ago. He took a quick glance at Rasha, and judging by her reaction, he could see even she didn't like this.

When Polar stepped out of the shadows and in front of everyone, Sebas could feel the energy of a God radiating from him. For a brief moment, Sebas was slightly sweating. Upon hearing Polars words talking about him and Rasha, and his fears and doubts just simply washed away. "Namek, Azurath, Earth, Time chamber, and now here on the Arc. Seems like no matter where I go, if it's something significant, you are right there. Now the two of us are gonna be in charge in fixing and maintaining a whole universe? Well, I guess you found the right person. I would be honored to accept the role to be your supreme kai Polar."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched and listened intently as the Omni King spoke to the others, promptly assigning their roles within his divine plan. When he mentioned Sebas becoming the Supreme Kai and Rasha becoming the Angel of Universe 14, he slightly cocked an eyebrow due to the fact that a Destroyer had yet to be chosen for that Universe. The Omni King then summoned the God of Destruction of Universe 14 revealing it to be none other than Polar, Devlin instantly began to feel his heart race in anticipation. Polar then began to speak explaining how his encounter with both Rasha and Sebas had made him decide to reestablish his goals, he then revealed that it was him who restored Devlin’s life back on Namek in exchange for 400 years of his life. Devlin felt his emotions instantly change to confusion and then understanding as he listened to the spawn of his clan’s mortal enemy speak and he looked in the direction of Polar.
“So you’re my neighboring Destroyer then? Maybe I’ll pay you a visit sometime and repay you for your sacrifice, you do have my gratitude. Even with this new found truce between the two of us just remember, I am a man of my word your father will die by my hand.”
Devlin said and smirked softly at the Frost Demon
