Re-opening the Door: Arrival of Additional Allies

[Ruba]

Ruba had been left alone to his own devices where his son and the Omni-King were discussing plans for his training. Ruba left the sacred home of the Omni-King and arrived deep in the center of the multiverse. Ruba opened his hand as a small orb shimmered in front of him. He smirked as he said, "Open once more to the Elder Sage's reality..." Ruba made it look like he erased the door back on the Arc, but it was a ploy.

As the door opened slowly once more, Ruba walked in and saw the stardust void that was the original home of Reyzen and Jason. He knew very little of why this reality became the way it was, but the fact that three beings were still alive in here. He smiled as he could sense the first of the three not far from him.

He focused in on the energy and began to move toward it. As he approached he saw a familiar looking hue of green hair. He stopped a few feet away from him and said, "Reku Katsubashi, I've come to bargain."

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku was holding his sister in his arms silently sobbing when he heard a voice speak behind him inquiring a bargain, he turned his head and looked at the massive Saiyan with his narrowed slit eyes as he caught a whiff of Reyzen and his heart jumped.
“I know not who you are but I tell you this, you reek of my brother so if you wish to bargain all I ask is of you to save my sister. She is suffering from the most fatal of conditions caused by vampirism and neither I or Reyzen can fix it, please Help Reyna….”
Reku wheezed.

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as this version of Reku turned toward him, holding a female saiyan with pale skin and superficial veins everywhere. He heard the plea from Reku and was taken aback. He could see emotion coming from the saiyan who he originally knew as cold hearted. He hovered in place and gave a sigh as he said, "I will help her. You know... it's strange... the version I know of you was a monster, sadistic bastard, and a pathological liar, but right now I sense nothing like that. It may be that your heart aches for this sister of yours that your true intentions are being shown."

Ruba hovered forward and placed his hand on the girls shoulder and could feel her life energy fading. He took a deep breath and focused on the core of this diseased and held it in his hand. He looked at Reku and said, "Hold her tight. Removing a curse this grounded within her will cause her extreme agony. I'd rarher not have to render her unconcious. Think you can handle that Katsubashi?"

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku listened as the man spoke of a version of him that was sadistic and cruel and then spoke of helping his sister and when he came to help her he told her to hold her tight and he did.
“I was once no better but now I care for my family she will be secured safely as long as she’s cured.. Thank you.”

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as this version of Reku seemed to listen to him as he braced himself for the possible writhing his sister would cause. Ruba focused back on the center of her curse and began to focus his destruction energy around it. His golden dragon tattoo began to glow as a dark shadow began to wrap around the Saiyan woman. He took a deep breath and said, "Hakai..." The shadow around the woman began to slowly fade as the core of the curse slowly began to disintegrate. It was a delicate procedure as he had to sever the ties the curse had on her soul. One false move would also erase her from existence. After a few minutes the shadow was completely gone and the woman began to breathe normally.

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku watched as the man began to heal Reyna and held her tightly as she squirmed and groaned in pain her fangs baring once until they disappeared and her body began to calm, when she did Reku let his grip go a bit and she began to stir. Reku let go and allowed his sister to adjust herself upright as he looked at Ruba.
“You have still yet to introduce yourself or give your motive for helping me…”

[Reyna Chikimaru]

Reyna stirred as she felt all of the pain and suffering she had endured for the last 6 years cease to exist and she hovered herself upright , her long purple hair flowing behind her as she opened her vibrant pink eyes when Reku spoke to Ruba. When her eyes locked on the man she instantly recognized him as Reyzen, her middle sibling, and a look of pure bliss and excitement formed on her face as she shot at him and wrapped her arms around him in a big hug.
“BIG BROTHER!!!!!! OH HOW I’VE MISSED YOU!!!”
Reyna giggled and let go looking at Ruba with an expression of adoration

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as the dark shadows that surrounded the younger woman began to disappear and her fangs slowly retracted back to normal canines. He let loose his held breath as he watched her slowly stir from her slumber. He watched as Reku slowly released his sister and asked him to tell him his name and why he had helped him. Ruba was going to respond to the questions, but was assaulted with a strong bear hug by Reyna who called him big brother. Ruba accepted the hug for a moment, but slowly and gently pushed her away and said, "Apologies Reyna Chikimaru, but I am not your elder brother." He stood up as he floated in the void and said, "My name is Ruba Vegeta, Left Hand of the Omni-king, Saiyan God King, and Elder Sage of the Golden Dragon. I have come here to saves those that remain in this crumbling reality and bring them back to Reyzen... though he is not the same after the Alpha merged with my Reyzen in my reality."

[Reyna Chikimaru]

Reyna listened as Ruba explained who he was and she began to pout until she heard that he knew where Reyzen was.
“So basically you’re like another Reyzen but not Reyzen…. You must have been the voice he said he was hearing…”
Reyna said innocently as her brother cleared his throat.

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku listened intently as Ruba spoke introducing himself as a Vegeta which caused a smirk to form on his face, leave it to Reyzen to settle the family feud between the Chikimaru and Vegeta clans. When his sister gave her overly simplistic observations he cleared his throat and stepped forward.
“My apologies for being so blunt and rude Lord Vegeta, you see in this reality your clan and our clan have never gotten along and stole the throne from us. I find it interesting how you and Reyzen hold all of the same titles yet you speak of him as if he was below you, if our version of Reyzen is in your existence and became the one true Chikimaru by merging with your Reyzen then that means Father was taken care of for good…. Katani will be pleased to hear his seal can finally be broken. I am also interested in this other version of me you spoke of.”
Reku explained

[Ruba]

Ruba listened as both Reyna and Reku apologized for their reactions toward him and he laughed it off. He looked at Reyna and said, "I have abilities similar of that to your brother, but I feel he is still stronger than me." He turned toward Reku and gave him a nod. He floated a few feet away from them and said, "Reku... the other version of you was a brute in every sense of the way. When I first met him... it was on the arc and he had just finished tearing off my Reyzen's arms and broke my Devlin's back. He almost killed both of them in front of me and mocked me for it. What happened to him... what I did to him... I wished I never had to do that, but at that point it was my family living or them dying."

Ruba turned back toward Reku and said, "I don't know what you have been through in your reality, but Devlin in my reality has made his mistakes and is atoning for them. If I bring you to Reyzen, I want you to promise me to try your best to get along with my Devlin. I want you to swear to me on your title of Elder Sage of Flame."

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku listened as Ruba spoke about his other self and the damage he did to both Reyzen and Devlin, to his surprise it was his other self who dismembered Reyzen instead of Devlin and when he spoke of bringing them back with him on the terms of getting along with Devlin he stood in silence for a moment pondering the deal given to him. After a moment he sighed and crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.
“Yeah yeah, enough with the formalities and titles. Once Dragons Peak fell all but four sages remained our titles are ancient history now, I’ll do my best to get along with the old man for Reyzen’s sake.”
Reku said and looked at Ruba

[Reyna Chikimaru]

Reyna listened as Ruba explained that where as he had similar powers to Reyzen he wasn’t as powerful as him and she scratched her head. The powers Reyzen had were almost omnipotent in a way so he very rarely found an equal but this man seemed to be exactly that.
“I can try to be nice to my dad, but my main concern is Reyzen…”
Reyna said softly and watched her brother intently

[Ruba]

Ruba listened as both Reyna and Reku agreed to work with Devlin if it was for Reyzen. He gave a soft smile and said, "Well that's two of the three remaining in this realm. I sensed a third before I found you two, but I'm unable to pinpoint their location. Can you two sense them as well?" Ruba looked over and saw something he hadn't seen since the defeat of the White Mask, this realities Devlin. A pitch black obsidian sword floated not far from them. Ruba turned his attention onto the sword solely and began to float towards it.

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku listened as Ruba spoke of sensing a third person before but not being able to sense them now and watched as his gaze fell on the Darque blade and began to drift towards it. Reku felt his back tattoo of the Fire Elder Dragon burn and he quickly opened a portal as a white hot pillar of flames billowed from it, his eyes narrowed as he saw the golden dragon tattoo on Ruba begin to glow as well.
“DO NOT TOUCH THAT SWORD YOU WILL RELEASE THAT MONSTER AND IT WILL ALL HAVE BEEN FOR NOTHING!”
Reku hissed

[Reyna Chikimaru]

Reyna watched as her brother and Ruba conversed and when Ruba began to drift towards the sword her father had been sealed away in she felt as her chest tattoo began to glow a vibrant pink like the scales of the Elder Dragon of Soul and she put her hand over her heart as she watched a pillar of her brothers white hot searing flame erupt from a portal he opened in front of Ruba

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as a pillar of white flames enveloped around him. He felt the excruciating heat coming from them, but he continued through. He used his Hakai to remove any of the unwanted flames from his garb and body as he approached the sword. He extended his hand out and began to compress the sword into a tiny jet black marble. Once it was done, Ruba grabbed the marble and heard the raspy voice of the White Mask willing him to be set free, but Ruba place the marble in his pocket and turned back toward Reku and Reyna. He gave them both a bow and said, "Apologies, but I have plans for your father once we find the third person that remains in this reality. I see you both realize that I wasn't lying when I called myself the Elder Sage of the Golden Dragon. If you have questions, I'm willing to answer them."

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku watched as his White Hot Searing Flames had no effect on Ruba who then took the sword and explained his reason for taking it once more referencing to Ote-Mai and Reku felt his pride slightly shrink back.
“You mean the Legendary Great White Spinner Mouth demon Ote-Mai… with how long he’s been sealed away he’d be reduced to nothing but a thin layer of skin and bones.”

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as realization flashed across Reku's face on who he was referring to and smiled. He looked off toward the lingering power and said, "So his name is Ote-Mai... he sounds quite formidable. No matter what position he is in I can revive him. After all it is the gift I received from the gold dragon. Do you know where he is Reku?" Ruba looked back toward Reku with eager anticipation.

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku listened as Ruba spoke with excitement and then asked where the demon was and a smirk formed on the Saiyans face, he chuckled and kicked back relaxing with his arms behind his head and his legs crossed and tilted so he was facing Ruba. His Tattoo burned a vibrant Red as the outlines of scales popped up on his skin and his eyes slitted as they matched the vibrant Red of the Mark of the Fire Sage.
“So you’re new to your powers, leave it to the higher deities. I can bring you to what remains of Dragon’s Peak, that sword though is gonna be an issue. Even with the lack of the Dragon’s presence there that sword caused the Peaks demise, killing most of the Sages and their respected Dragon. I heard rumors of the Thunder Dragon still existing but Blade was the first to fall, but let me pop a portal open and we’ll head to the Cataclysm.”
Reku said teasingly as a massive portal opened behind him revealing a huge island with what looked like a devastated mountain scape taking over most of it, its skies were black as the void riddled with red and orange clouds coming from the flames and burning lava riddling what had once been known as Dragon’s Peak.
“Be sure to stay with me it won’t be too far of a fly, I assume you’re as fast as my brother knowing your history with his clan. I will do my best to not go too fast. Dragon’s Ascent!”
Reku said and shot through the portal towards a smaller island by the ruins

[Ruba]

Ruba hovered through the portal and saw the desolation and felt his golden scales burn with sadness. He grabbed his arms and said to himself, "I'm sorry that you have to see your home like this Zalama. I will fix this so I can gaze on its original state before Devlin came along to destroy it." Ruba stayed in the doorway of the portal and looked back at Reyna. He gave her a soft smile as he raised his arms up and said, "I hope you believe in miracles, because your about to see one." Ruba's golden scales flared as his body began to glow like a sun. He focused his energy onto the area around him and spoke in the ancient language of the gods and dragons. "Eht nedlog nogard snruter ot ekam sih emoh wen, dna nruter ti ot sti remrof yrolg erofeb Cataclysm." Ruba's hands shot out a divine light and the landscape of Dragon's Peak began to shift as if returning to what it was eons ago. After a few moments, the light fade from Ruba as he felt to his knees.

[Reyna Chikimaru]

Reyna watched as Reku got cocky and opened a portal to the remains of what once used to be her home and she felt her heart sink at the sight of the devastation of her fathers wrath, he shot through and agreed to help Ruba and Ruba stopped in the opening of the portal. His golden tattoo glew brightly as golden scales formed around his body and he told her he hoped she believed in miracles and spoke in the tongue of the Elder Dragons restoring Dragon’s Peak to its glory the fell to his knees, Reyna rushed over and caught him and smiled widely as her pink aura covered him and began to gradually restore his energy.
“I can tell why Reyzen likes you, you’re a good man I can tell you hold many burdens on your soul but I assure you that you are not alone. My brother should be at the Catacombs where my father sealed Ore-Mai.”
Reyna said softly and helped Ruba up to his feet

[Reku Katsubashi]

As Reku was flying a flash of golden light blinded him and when it cleared he was at Dragon’s Peak in its glory, he stopped in shock as he looked around.
“He wasn’t kidding this could only be the power of the Elder Dragon of Gold, well at least I get one last speed course!”
Reku said and sped to the catacombs where his old ally was sealed away, when he landed he stopped at the door and stared at the dark Sigil burned into it.

[Ruba]

Ruba gave a nod to Reyna an said, "Please visit your home... this will be the last time you see it. Once we depart and I close the door this reality will cease to exist." He then turned and made his way down toward the catacombs Reyna had mention, but it felt like he already new where they were going. He landed not far from Reku and asked, "Does this sigil bar our entry?"

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku watched as Ruba landed not far from him and asked if the Sigil barred them from entry and he chuckled softly.
“It does much more than that, the entire inside of the Catacombs is corrupted. Destroying it will fix that issue but only someone as strong as my father can break it.”

[Ruba]

Ruba heard what Reku had said and gave a sigh as his brow furrowed. He rubbed the small black marble in his pocket as he heard the White Mask laugh at him. He took a deep breath as he siphoned some of the dark power from the marble and his golden tattoos dimmed. His eyes stared at the sigil and he smirked as he approached it. He placed his hand on the door and said, "Such a childish sigil... something like this can easily be broken." Ruba's hand emanated a dark shadow as the sigil flared to life as if to repel him. Instead, Ruba drew in the dark magic and absorbed its power for himself. The sigil withered away and the corruption of the catacomb faded. He looked toward Reku as he opened the door and gestured for him to enter.

[Reku Katsubashi]

Reku watched as Ruba mocked his fathers seal and then easily disposed of it with a strange dark energy kind of similar to that of the White Masked Saiyan, before he could respond Ruba opened the door and beckoned Reku to enter. Reku stepped in and conjured a fire ball in his hand to illuminate the dark cavern to reveal a massive cube of Kachin Kachin at the end of the corridor and he walked towards it.
“Sealed away in 50 layers of Kachin Kachin, lay the all star Dragon Ball and the demon Reyzen befriended as a child. Father knew taking and sealing the two greatest accomplishments of Reyzen would deter him from his duties so they’ve laid here for generations waiting to be released, sealed for so long Ote-Mai didn’t even get to see the birth of his best friends son or his death… poor Ryuta.”
Reku said as he started to reminisce about the past.

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as Reku formed a fireball and walked in to the catacombs. He followed behind until they reach a large cube Kachin Katchin that glistened in the fireballs light. Ruba listened as Reku explained why this material was here and what laid inside it. The name Reku spoke of seem to resonate with the orb in his pocket, but he brushed it aside. Ruba stepped forward and placed his hand on the wall and smirked. Ruba then got into an offensive stance and placed two fingers against the black surface of the Kachin Katchin. He took a deep breath and focused all of his energy into his fist and his hand began to glow a multitude of purples, blues and black. He then, in one successive motion, performed the one inch punch and shattered all 50 layers of Kachin Katchin in an instance. Ruba shook his hand and waited for Reku to lead the way once more.
