Hardship and Pride: A Father and Son Speak With Their Hearts

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched as Bussel followed his direction and came and placed a hand on him and he heard Ruba speak again mentioning him one more time before falling unconscious and Devlin felt his heart drop then teleported them to the palace, even though he said the front door was the furthest he could go he found them reappearing down the hall from the medical bay.
“Bussel go tell Kara what’s happening me and Reyzen will be right behind you, when we get him stable I’ll tell you boys everything I know when Rasha comes back unless you want to know before.”
Devlin said shakily as he and his son slowly walked towards the med bay.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen held his uncle up with somewhat difficulty as a bombardment of emotion hit him, unable to cope with any of them he suddenly felt everything shut out watching as his father told Bussel to come to him but hearing nothing but a dull humming. He watched as Bussel walked towards them clearly worried about Ruba and a tear came to Reyzen’s eyes as they slightly dulled. His father instant transmitted them down the hall from the medical bay and Reyzen knew when his mother saw his uncle in this state she would be just as worried as all of them and the influx of everyone else’s emotions already messed him up. He felt his father move as he slowly did the same trying to figure something to focus on to get him back into focus.

[Rasha]

As Rasha left the others she had so much worry on her shoulders. She knew she had to do something but she didn’t know exactly what to do then she remembered the frost demon Polar who had been watching over Sebas. She still had a hard time trusting any frost demon, especially a member of Frieza’s family but she had seen how this one was and she knew he had some dragonballs because he used them to revive Devlin.

She flew off to the Barrons of Rothg and as she landed not far from the stone house Polar used as a home she approached his home and knocked on his door as she said, “Polar…are you home?”

[Bussel]

Devlin watched as Bussel followed his direction and came and placed a hand on him and he heard Ruba speak again mentioning him one more time before falling unconscious and Devlin felt his heart drop then teleported them to the palace, even though he said the front door was the furthest he could go he found them reappearing down the hall from the medical bay.
“Bussel go tell Kara what’s happening me and Reyzen will be right behind you, when we get him stable I’ll tell you boys everything I know when Rasha comes back unless you want to know before.”
Devlin said shakily as he and his son slowly walked towards the med bay.

Bussel was so unsettled by everything he didn't know how to react. He then heard what his uncle said and he said, I will go tell her but first i want to know what is going on…and why is my father looking like this…what happened to him?”

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin listened as Bussel started questioning him and Devlin found himself growing upset and he sighed softly looking his nephew in the eyes, his piercing pale blue eyes met his and Bussel could tell he was serious.
“Bussel at the moment all I know is something was done to your father by your sadistic fuck of a grandfather, I cannot give you a full assessment with him bleeding in the hall on your cousin and my shoulders. I too am worried but from what your mother told me what I have seen and heard, whatever Mushun did to him really messed him up. I have a strong feeling your mother is going to meet with Polar to figure something out so our best bet is to get him stable, I worry as much as you do.”
Devlin said softly his voice wavering at first and then staying steady and calm.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen felt his father stop and he did as well and the dull ringing in his ears had ceased instantly hearing Bussel begin to question his father, this snapped him back to reality and he looked over at his father his eyes slowly narrowing at him. This death trap Ruba was augmented with was the kind of messed up shit his father could have come up with but he wasn’t certain yet. He heard as his father spoke to Bussel and explain that he had very limited knowledge of the situation without having a better look at Ruba when he was laid down and stabilized and he looked over to Bussel and nodded once and readjusted Ruba so one arm was over his top two shoulders and his two right arms were behind him.

[Bussel]

Devlin listened as Bussel started questioning him and Devlin found himself growing upset and he sighed softly looking his nephew in the eyes, his piercing pale blue eyes met his and Bussel could tell he was serious.
“Bussel at the moment all I know is something was done to your father by your sadistic fuck of a grandfather, I cannot give you a full assessment with him bleeding in the hall on your cousin and my shoulders. I too am worried but from what your mother told me what I have seen and heard, whatever Mushun did to him really messed him up. I have a strong feeling your mother is going to meet with Polar to figure something out so our best bet is to get him stable, I worry as much as you do.”
Devlin said softly his voice wavering at first and then staying steady and calm.

Bussel listened to his uncle speak and as he did he gave a nod then said, "OK...but I hope we can find out more when we get him better...I will go tell Kara..." He said then took off out of the room and went down to the medical ward and as he did he spotted her working on something and he ran up to her and said, "Kara we need your help!!...my father is in medical need of help there is something seriously wrong with him...he has machine parts in him and its causing him to loose it!!..."

[Kara Chikimaru]

Kara was working on a few things when Bussel came running and asking for help with his father. Her eyes went wide and she said, "Oh my...it must be bad if you need my help...take me too him right now!" She said and then watched as Bussel turned and led the way back to where Ruba was and when she saw him she gasped. She then said, "Bring him at once to my med bay...I will have to do a quick evaluation of his wounds and then we will have to put him in our advanced healing tank..." She said then turned and led the way back to her med ward.

[Polar]

As Rasha left the others she had so much worry on her shoulders. She knew she had to do something but she didn’t know exactly what to do then she remembered the frost demon Polar who had been watching over Sebas. She still had a hard time trusting any frost demon, especially a member of Frieza’s family but she had seen how this one was and she knew he had some Dragon Balls because he used them to revive Devlin.

She flew off to the Barrens of Rothg and as she landed not far from the stone house Polar used as a home she approached his home and knocked on his door as she said, “Polar…are you home?”

Polar was in the process of trying to make the living situation of his dilapidated house more livable, but to no avail. As he was preparing to scrap the house to start over, he heard a familiar voice coming from his front door and a knock. He shook his head and sighed as he walked to the door saying, "Whatever trouble Sebas has gotten himself this time I'm not going to-" Polar opened the door and saw the fearful look on Rasha's face and he said, "Rasha what's wrong? What has you so frighten?"

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched as Bussel listened to him and ran to inform his aunt and he felt Reyzen adjust Ruba, the progressively made their way into the medical bay and lay him on a bed.
“I don’t care who does it but somebody put him in restraints we don’t need him ripping more chunks of himself off. Kara we need anesthetic and something to keep him under, I am going to find something to scan this damn technology before he has another meltdown.”
Devlin said and ran off to dig through a drawer.

[Ruba]

As Ruba was laid down on a bed, memories flooded his subconscious again of his father walking into the room with the scalpel once more. He sat up quickly and felt his body fall over. He stood up slowly and made his way over to Devlin who was looking for something. Stood in front of his best friend and turned toward the door and said, "You won't touch him anymore father... I won't... let you... keep hurting my... best friend!!!" Blood began to stream onto the floor as his chest wound gushed. Ruba coughed and blood splattered the floor as he fell to a knee. In his mind, Ruba was punched and slapped as his father screamed for him to move. Ruba rose to his feet once more and stood with his arms spread wide protecting Devlin.

Ruba looked over his shoulder at Devlin and said, "I won't let him hurt you anymore... once he leaves... I'll take you to Uncle Vegeta and see if he can take care of you... Once your no longer here, father won't experiment on you or me again." Ruba bit his lip knowing he was lying to Devlin. Mushun would continue to experiment on him even if Devlin was gone. Ruba collapsed to the ground once more as his mind fade to black again.

[Kara Chikimaru]

As Ruba was laid down on a bed, memories flooded his subconscious again of his father walking into the room with the scalpel once more. He sat up quickly and felt his body fall over. He stood up slowly and made his way over to Devlin who was looking for something. Stood in front of his best friend and turned toward the door and said, "You won't touch him anymore father... I won't... let you... keep hurting my... best friend!!!" Blood began to stream onto the floor as his chest wound gushed. Ruba coughed and blood splattered the floor as he fell to a knee. In his mind, Ruba was punched and slapped as his father screamed for him to move. Ruba rose to his feet once more and stood with his arms spread wide protecting Devlin.

Ruba looked over his shoulder at Devlin and said, "I won't let him hurt you anymore... once he leaves... I'll take you to Uncle Vegeta and see if he can take care of you... Once your no longer here, father won't experiment on you or me again." Ruba bit his lip knowing he was lying to Devlin. Mushun would continue to experiment on him even if Devlin was gone. Ruba collapsed to the ground once more as his mind fade to black again.

Kara looked at Devlin and she saw the desperation on his face and she gave a nod then went to work getting some anesthetics ready. As she did she turned to the two boys and said, "Ryzen...Bussel...can you both hold him down while I administer this anesthetic..." She said and watched as the boys obeyed and held him steady. She then went over and injected the sedative.

Once she administered the sedative she turned to Devlin and said, "Once the medicine sets in we will have to get him into a healing tank...the physical damage he done to his flesh is too much to try and repair in conventional means...the tank can help stop the damages ..."

[Rasha]

Polar was in the process of trying to make the living situation of his dilapidated house more livable, but to no avail. As he was preparing to scrap the house to start over, he heard a familiar voice coming from his front door and a knock. He shook his head and sighed as he walked to the door saying, "Whatever trouble Sebas has gotten himself this time I'm not going to-" Polar opened the door and saw the fearful look on Rasha's face and he said, "Rasha what's wrong? What has you so frighten?"

Rasha had so much worry on her that when she saw Polar she had a desperate look of longing and fear on her face. She barely heard what he first said but when she heard him mention Sebas she said, "This has nothing to do with Sebas...its my husband Ruba...something is terribly wrong...he is self mutilating himself and he had cybernetics implanted without his knowledge and is having terrible flashbacks of a past we don't know much about..." She said and sobbed.

She then said, "If you can help us...I will do anything you want..."

[Polar]

Rasha had so much worry on her that when she saw Polar she had a desperate look of longing and fear on her face. She barely heard what he first said but when she heard him mention Sebas she said, "This has nothing to do with Sebas...its my husband Ruba...something is terribly wrong...he is self mutilating himself and he had cybernetics implanted without his knowledge and is having terrible flashbacks of a past we don't know much about..." She said and sobbed.

She then said, "If you can help us...I will do anything you want..."

Polar listened as Rasha explained the situation and ponder what to do. Once Rasha mentioned giving him anything he wanted he gave her a nod. He looked at her said, "I can fix him, but it will take me an hour to get there from here so you'll have to be patient." Polar turned and began to walk away, but turned back to her and said, "I want you to have the Azurians build me a house on the outskirts of the city so I can live comfortably. That is the only payment I require."

Polar took off into the air and yelled back, "Everything will be fine, Rasha!!! Ruba will be back to normal soon, so go be with him until I fix him!!!" Polar flew off toward Planet Cereal and new it was going to be a long journey.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen watched as his uncle got up once more in horror as he stumbled to his father telling him that once he got him to King Vegeta everything was going to be okay and then collapsed again and within a blur his mother got the sedative ready telling them to hold Ruba down and when they did she administered it. After doing so she turned to his father and told him how serious of a situation it was. Reyzen quickly snapped his eyes to his father awaiting his response.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched as Ruba got up and continued to speak to someone in his memories once more recalling the only bit of Devlin’s past he remembered and collapsed again Devlin tried to catch him but he hit the floor to fast and he quickly looked at Kara in desperation and she ordered the boys to help hold him down after and they did so as she administered the sedative that she quickly made. She then looked to Devlin and told him how dire the situation was and he nodded and turned around gripping the counter tightly causing the metal to warp in his grip.
“I know darling, this…. This shouldn’t be happening he should have let me be his fathers test subject instead of himself… Ruba is reliving everything I don’t remember from my childhood, trauma so repressed it’s hard to speak of it… Rasha went off to most likely check in on Polar to see if there’s any way to help him, she should be back soon…”
Devlin said slowly through gritted teeth

[Rasha]

Polar listened as Rasha explained the situation and ponder what to do. Once Rasha mentioned giving him anything he wanted he gave her a nod. He looked at her said, "I can fix him, but it will take me an hour to get there from here so you'll have to be patient." Polar turned and began to walk away, but turned back to her and said, "I want you to have the Azurians build me a house on the outskirts of the city so I can live comfortably. That is the only payment I require."

Polar took off into the air and yelled back, "Everything will be fine, Rasha!!! Ruba will be back to normal soon, so go be with him until I fix him!!!" Polar flew off toward Planet Cereal and new it was going to be a long journey.

Rasha heard what Polar wanted and she gave a nod. She then watched as he took off and paused and called down to her and she she said, "Thank you..." and she watched as he left. As she watched him she thought on her bias of the frost demons and realized not all could be that bad. There was a smile of hope on her face as she watched him leave.

Rasha then turned and headed back to her husband as fast as she could and as he walked back in she saw the boys holding Ruba down, Kara administering some sedative and Devlin coping with some inner turmoil and nearly deforming one of the table tops with his strong grip. She then went over to where Ruba was laying and as she did she said, "Hopefully help will be coming soon..."

[Bussel]

Bussel was holding his fathers other arm down with a good bit of effort and he watched as Kara went to administer the sedative. He then glanced up at Reyzen and saw the look on his face as he looked at his uncle. He then looked over at Devlin and as he did he saw his mother come back in and he heard what she said and he looked up at her with a look of pleading hope. He then looked back down at his fathers agonizing face and he felt so much fear at loosing his father. He could hear all the things he was saying and as he listened to all of it he felt such anger and disgust at what his grandfather done to his father and as he looked at his father he was so grateful for never having to endure such terrible things. He wished so much for him to recover so he could tell him how he felt.

[Ruba]

Ruba was still struggling as his son and Reyzen held him on the ground. He didn't struggle knowing they were trying to keep him from hurting himself, but felt something push in his brain. Ruba stood up and pushed Bussel toward Rasha and Reyzen toward Devlin. He stared forward and said, "Show yourself... quit hiding in my head and face me, Mushun!"

Ruba's left eye began to glow as a beam of light shot forward, and a figure began to take shape as a hologram. Standing in front of them all was a saiyan male standing at five foot nine inches. He hand medium length black hair with the sides and back shaved and it was up in a ponytail. He was wearing a mechanical black mask which hid the scars on his face.

The figure was wearing jet back saiyan armor with silver trimming and black gi pants. His tail was unfurled and twitching with rage. Ruba stared down the hologram of his father and said with anger, "Father..."

[Mushun]

Nearly thirty six years ago, Mushun had uploaded his consciousness to the neural implant he had placed in Ruba's brain before his trial against Raditz. After finding out about his son's failure and the news of his brother-in-law's attempt to capture him, he blew up his lab and himself along with it. Now in the present day, the A.I. that was his consciousness from that time in the past had awoken and began torturing his failure of a son. His hologram solidified in front of his son and saw around him a few familiar faces and faces he didn't know.

Mushun looked at his son and said, "My dear boy... look how you've grown. It sickens me to see that you are still soft and kind hearted and living among lesser beings." Mushun looked at the four armed woman with purple skin and dressed in a lab coat with discuss and the strange half breed boy next to a familiar face. He looked toward the familiar face and said, "Bardock's first son... I see you somehow escaped the collar of Frieza and his family... and now you've gone and diluted your pure saiyan heritage with a weaker species... you really are another failure, aren't you? Also I hate to inform you Devlin, but your son is more of a Chikimaru then you are."

Mushun turned his gaze to the saiyan woman protecting a pure saiyan child by the looks of it and gave a snide smirk. He stared at the boy and said, "You look just like your father when he was your age. You even have that defiant and rueful look like he did. If only I was still alive... the experiments I'd put you and that filthy half-bred monster would be child's play compare to what I'd did to your dear old dad." Finally his eyes moved over to the saiyan woman and his eyes widen as he stared at her. Mushun's holographic hand reached up and removed the mask from his face and a terrifying smile was underneath it.

He stared at her as he began to laugh and said, "Well well well… If it isn't Bardock's little girl. You got in the way of my plans by making my idiot of a son fall in love with you. Now you have gone and married him and bred the next generation of saiyan failures. I truly did hope that you died the day Frieza had plan to destroy Planet Vegeta, but it seems your father actually cared about one of his children." Mushun then turned his gaze back to Ruba and began to admire the work he had done on his son. The mesh covering on his bones, the iron lungs and heart, and the thermonuclear bomb attached to the heart was his best work.

While keeping his eyes locked on Ruba, he said, "This wouldn't have happen to you Ruba if you didn't decided to save Devlin and take him to your uncle. I would have done this to him and once I perfected my technique I could have made you into the ultimate saiyan warrior, but instead you decided to be a hero to someone who doesn't even respect what you did for him. Tell me boy..." Mushun moved his gaze to Reyzen and said, "How does it feel knowing that your father is an inferior Chikimaru than you? How does it feel knowing that your father is less than what he could've been. If you ask me... you should feel ashamed of the man you call father. Even for a half breed, you are still and always be a better saiyan than him." Mushun then turned his attention toward everyone now and said, "I know you all must have questions... feel free to ask... I have nothing to hide and will give you the honest truth." Mushun gave a bow and waited for someone to speak.

As Rasha approached Ruba she could see him struggle against something she couldn't see. She then watched as he stood up and pushed the boys away and as he pushed Bussel towards her and then demand and unseen being to show himself. When she watched his eye light up and a holographic image with a definite AI ability. She looked at who appeared and her eyes widened and then narrowed as she heard the image of Ruba's father speak to then. When she heard him speak to her she said with both disgust and anger, "FAILURE??!!...the only failure i see here is you!!...you are a monster for doing this to your son..." she said then moved her son back away from Mushun's image and then said, "Don't you dare talk to my son like that!!...I don't know what kind of sick game this is or why you you would do such vile things to your own blood but you better be glad you are dead because i would rip you apart!!..."

[Bussel]

Nearly thirty six years ago, Mushun had uploaded his consciousness to the neural implant he had placed in Ruba's brain before his trial against Raditz. After finding out about his son's failure and the news of his brother-in-law's attempt to capture him, he blew up his lab and himself along with it.

I have nothing to hide and will give you the honest truth." Mushun gave a bow and waited for someone to speak.

As Bussel was trying to hold his father steady he watched the wounds gush blood and he gritted his teeth in horror. He was then pushed aside by his father as he stood up and he saw some crazy looking holographic image appear and he heard what it was saying. When it addressed him he just looked at the image not knowing what to think. Its words though made him mad. He then heard how his mother spoke to the image and he just watched without saying anything. He didn't even know what to think.

[Mushun]

Mushun rose from his bow as Bardock's daughter spoke to him with venom in her words. He smirked as she listened to her accusing him of being a monster for what he had done to Ruba, He watched her go and protect her child and said with pure hatred that if he were alive, she'd tear him apart. He looked at her for a moment then moved his attention to the child and saw he to was angry. He then said, "Sadly, I am dead and I made sure I'd live on in a way that would torture my perfect creation for his disobedience. He needs to be reminded of where he came from and who made him what he is. As for me being a monster... I am no monster, just the creator of them and if you don't believe me ask your brother."

He turned his attention back toward Bussel and said, "Hello dear grandson. Won't you speak to your dear grandfather? I am interested to here what this weaker generation of saiyans has to say to me." He then turned back toward Devlin and smirked as he saw he still had his back to him. His smirk disappeared as he said, "How long are you going to ignore, boy?!? I would think that out of everyone here you would have the most words to speak, yet there you are keeping quiet. Do I strike that much fear into your heart that you hope your silence will spare you my words?"

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen listened to the hologram speak and when he turned his attention to him and spoke he felt a sudden hatred fill him, even though he held a sense of contempt towards his father he didn’t tolerate people badmouthing him. His fists clenched tightly as Mushun began to taunt Rasha Bussel and his father more and Reyzen threw a bed clear across the room.
“SHUT UP!! Unlike you my father didn’t experiment on me like a fucking lab rat, you disgusting pig! Typical for someone like yourself to lash out at others and hurt them.”
Reyzen snapped and in the corner of his eye he saw his father turn around

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin heard as Mushun began to speak and his heart froze as fear filled him, he heard him speak to him and begin to get in his head with his words and Devlin’s grip on the counter tightened as he warped it more. Mushun taunted him using Reyzen and Kara as a means to mess with him and then turned his attention to the others, Devlin kept his back to him and remained silent and Mushun took exception to it returning his attention to him. Devlin inhaled once as he heard Reyzen speak up and defend him and Devlin slowly turned around and faced the man who had hurt him as a child.
“Yes I’m a failure in quite a few different ways but I always pick myself back up and push forward, I have always tried to do what’s best for those I care about and those around me. You say that my son is more of a Chikimaru than I am, I can double down on that and say that my child who hasn’t even gone through the Trials yet is a far better Chikimaru than even Uzaki! Your words are just that, words! You couldn’t even amount to half the Saiyan my son is and you are a full blooded Saiyan, say what you want about me but you keep my family out of your damn mouth!”
Devlin said and stepped in front of his wife and son.

[Mushun]

Reyzen listened to the hologram speak and when he turned his attention to him and spoke he felt a sudden hatred fill him, even though he held a sense of contempt towards his father he didn’t tolerate people badmouthing him. His fists clenched tightly as Mushun began to taunt Rasha Bussel and his father more and Reyzen threw a bed clear across the room.
“SHUT UP!! Unlike you my father didn’t experiment on me like a fucking lab rat, you disgusting pig! Typical for someone like yourself to lash out at others and hurt them.”
Reyzen snapped and in the corner of his eye he saw his father turn around

Mushun was surprised by the mouth that this insolent half bred creature and smirked. He listened as the boy attempted to insult him and began to laugh. He looked at Reyzen and said, "The only reason your father hasn't experimented on you is because of his morality. I tried to break his morality, but now he's just a soft lump of flesh like the rest of you. To think your father couldn't at least discipline your brazen mouth. Also, I'm not lashing out to hurt anyone. I'm making observations that speak the truth and like most lesser being you take it to heart."

Devlin heard as Mushun began to speak and his heart froze as fear filled him, he heard him speak to him and begin to get in his head with his words and Devlin’s grip on the counter tightened as he warped it more. Mushun taunted him using Reyzen and Kara as a means to mess with him and then turned his attention to the others, Devlin kept his back to him and remained silent and Mushun took exception to it returning his attention to him. Devlin inhaled once as he heard Reyzen speak up and defend him and Devlin slowly turned around and faced the man who had hurt him as a child.
“Yes I’m a failure in quite a few different ways but I always pick myself back up and push forward, I have always tried to do what’s best for those I care about and those around me. You say that my son is more of a Chikimaru than I am, I can double down on that and say that my child who hasn’t even gone through the Trials yet is a far better Chikimaru than even Uzaki! Your words are just that, words! You couldn’t even amount to half the Saiyan my son is and you are a full blooded Saiyan, say what you want about me but you keep my family out of your damn mouth!”
Devlin said and stepped in front of his wife and son.

Mushun was surprised that it took Devlin's child defending him to force him to face him. He listened as Devlin admitted to being a failure in numerous ways and spoke of his resilience. This made Mushun laugh as he waited to hear more of Devlin's speech. He heard as Devlin doubled down on his son's strength and just continued to smile as he said his son was more of a saiyan than him. He then heard as Devlin made a demand of him and began to laugh. He looked at Devlin and said, "Tried to do what was best for those you care about, huh? How long will you lie to yourself about that. You brutally murder your adopted son, created a clone of yourself and sent it away for being a failure just like you. You failed to deal with the mortal enemy of your clan and died to him."

Mushun turned his attention to Ruba and smirked as he saw his son slowly losing his strength. He then said, "But your biggest failure in doing your best for those you care about happened before all of this. Ruba saved you and helped you escape my clutches and instead of doing what you could as the so called prodigal son of the saiyan race and save Ruba, you hid behind Vegeta's cape. You can't claim to do your best for anyone when you left the one who gave you a chance at life to suffer at my hand. You are nothing more than a coward and will never amount to anything else. So show your false bravado and try to protect your family from a hologram, because we both know you would have fled this room the moment I arrived."

He then addressed everyone present and said, "Is this all you miserable reprobates have to say? I thought all of you would have something more to say to me, but this is disappointing. One of the lesser beings cower behind her offspring while the offspring can do nothing but use obscene language as one of his ilk would. The one I expected to have the most words to say to me has soiled himself until his son filled him with a false sense of bravado and claims to help the people he cares for. My grandson is too stunned to say anything to me which shows how little he has been told of me. My so called daughter-in-law calls me a monster for creating the ultimate saiyan warrior when she comes from nowhere. Last but certainly not least... my failure of a son is struggling to stay upright, but is giving you all a moment to see what he has been dealing with. All of you are... how to say this so all of you lesser intelligent beings can understand... Ah that should do. I grow bored with these boring accusations and want you to actually use your brains to maybe ask a real question."

[Bussel]

Bussel was watching this hologram as it spoke as if in the room with them and alive. As he watched it he admits at first he was shocked but now he was analyzing the image. He then stepped forward and said with a calm voice, "I will admit I was stunned to start with but now I am not...in fact I don't even think this is a recorded hologram, but a communication image with some sick connection tied in with my father..." He said and looed up at the man before him.

Bussel then said, "I have played with holograms and they do not have abilities to interact with their environments...so I am gonna assume that you are not dead...but very much alive." he said as he glared up at his grandfather.

[Mushun]

Mushun was getting bored waiting for something interesting to happen. Everyone seemed to stunned to speak toward him and he was planning on just killing Ruba's brain and turning him into a vegetable. Suddenly his silent grandson spoke and caught him off guard. He quickly changed the stunned look to one of neutral one. After his grandson figued out what was actually going on he smirked.

He turned his attention toward his grandson and clapped. He continued to clap as he said, "Congratulations grandson on figuring out something not even Devlin could figure out. I see my genius was passed on to an actual competent being. Your father would be proud if he wasn't using every ounce of his strength to stay conscious."

He gave his grandson a bow and said, "You are completely correct. I am alive and well far beyond any of your reach. I am speaking to you from my new lab through a chip in your father's brain and a lense in his left eye. Again I congratulate you on figuring it out."

[Bussel]

Bussel listened to what his grandfather said and he was quiet. He looked over at his mother and then at his father who was looking horrible and weak from the massive blood loss.

He then looked at his grandfather and he said, "I don't understand why you are doing this...there is nothing perfect in turning someone into an android....it's mean and cruel..."

[Rasha]

As Rasha was watching her son interact with his grandfather's hologram and as she watched she also noticed Ruba loosing more strength and she closed her eyes and sent out a mental message to Polar, "Polar...I hope what ever you are doing happens soon...Ruba his looking real bad and has lost alot of blood..." she said with real imploring desperation in her voice.

Rasha then looked back at Mushun and she heard that he was indeed alive and controlling from a distant point and she said, "You seriously underestimate us...if you think there is no way for us to find you...you are wrong!...I will find you and you will regret everything you ever done to Ruba!!...this is a promise!!" She said with venom in her tone.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin listened as the man who once tortured him continued to insult and berate him and he slowly began to tone everything out, he was beginning to grow tired of people downgrading him and insulting him and started to wonder why he even bothered returning from the time patrol. He heard Bussel voice what he knew and felt a slight hint of pride that quickly was washed away with the realization that it wasn’t anything new and that he was inferior to everyone in the room.

[Reyzen Chikimaru]

Reyzen listened as Mushun continued to berate and insult his father and then watched as Bussel spoke up informing everyone that this was no prerecorded message but a live one and he instantly clicked on, whereas he may not be able to track it he might be able to fry it.
“Charlemagne try to track the location that chips relaying to if you can’t fry it so he goes away.”

[Ruba]

Ruba was struggling with standing as he knew something was wrong. He listened as everyone tried dealing with what Mushun said to them. He could see that Devlin was already defeated by what Mushun said, Reyzen was getting increasingly angry, Rasha was completely irate about everything, and Bussel was remaining calm as he deduced what was going on.

He took a step forward and said, "That's enough father... you don't get to come here... and bad mouth the people I care about... They have helped me become what I am... not what you did to me. My son... has proven to me time and again... that he is more than what his mother and I want... my wife is everything I'm not... she is my better half and you've pissed off the wrong woman..."

Ruba took another step forward as he got closer to his father and said, "My nephew, Reyzen, has proven himself to be more capable than most of the Azurians I have under my rule. His kindness and love towards both of the halves that make him are what matter. His mixed blood means nothing as long as he has pride in who he is." Ruba's confidence was returning and his body began to feel light.

Blood gushed from his chest wound as he stared his father and said with finality, "And last but certainly not least... Devlin is not a fucking failure. He has moved past what you have done to him and became stronger for it. He may make mistakes but that is the mortal thing to do. I don't hold anything against him for me having to deal with you for another seven years after I saved him. Call me a martyr if you want, but I know I save his life that day and that all that matter. So your going to shut your goddamn mouth and respect my family!"

Ruba's body wavered as he fell to a knee still staring at his father with labored breathing.

[Polar]

As Rasha was watching her son interact with his grandfather's hologram and as she watched she also noticed Ruba loosing more strength and she closed her eyes and sent out a mental message to Polar, "Polar...I hope what ever you are doing happens soon...Ruba his looking real bad and has lost a lot of blood..." she said with real imploring desperation in her voice.

Rasha then looked back at Mushun and she heard that he was indeed alive and controlling from a distant point and she said, "You seriously underestimate us...if you think there is no way for us to find you...you are wrong!...I will find you and you will regret everything you ever done to Ruba!!…this is a promise!!" She said with venom in her tone.

Polar was flying as fast as he could to planet Cereal when he received a message from Rasha about Ruba's current condition. He grimaced as he increased his speed and broke the sound barrier as he enacted Extreme Speed Times One Hundred. He reached back to Rasha and said, "I'm going as fast as I can, but even with my speed it'll still be another thirty minutes. Get him inside one of your tanks to heal him!" Polar started to rocket across the universe toward his destination

[Mushun]

Bussel listened to what his grandfather said and he was quiet. He looked over at his mother and then at his father who was looking horrible and weak from the massive blood loss.

He then looked at his grandfather and he said, "I don't understand why you are doing this...there is nothing perfect in turning someone into an android....it's mean and cruel..."

Mushun smirked as his grandson showed confusion as he wonder what turning someone into an android and how it was mean and cruel. He began to laugh as he said, "Mean and cruel, you say? I have made him into the ultimate saiyan warrior and he wastes that potential on ruling ever a cowardly race. He even allowed a proud saiyan to bed one of these lesser beings to create a monstrosity."

As Rasha was watching her son interact with his grandfather's hologram and as she watched she also noticed Ruba loosing more strength and she closed her eyes and sent out a mental message to Polar, "Polar...I hope what ever you are doing happens soon...Ruba his looking real bad and has lost alot of blood..." she said with real imploring desperation in her voice.

Rasha then looked back at Mushun and she heard that he was indeed alive and controlling from a distant point and she said, "You seriously underestimate us...if you think there is no way for us to find you...you are wrong!...I will find you and you will regret everything you ever done to Ruba!!...this is a promise!!" She said with venom in her tone.

Mushun heard as Rash spoke on his mistake of underestimating them and how they would find him. Her anger was apparent it made an ugly look form on her face and when she promised to kill him for Ruba, he laughed. He looked at her and said, "As if I'd let a low class wretch ever get the chance to kill me. No, when I die, It will be by Ruba's hand and no one else. If any of you wretches try to kill me at all, I'll make you suffer a worse fate then Ruba."

Reyzen listened as Mushun continued to berate and insult his father and then watched as Bussel spoke up informing everyone that this was no prerecorded message but a live one and he instantly clicked on, whereas he may not be able to track it he might be able to fry it.
“Charlemagne try to track the location that chips relaying to if you can’t fry it so he goes away.”

Mushun turned his attention to Reyzen as he spoke to someone and told them to track him or fry the chip in Ruba's brain. He smirked and said, "Feel free to try boy, but the location you'll get will be in the middle of empty space. As I said, I will reveal myself the moment the time comes and once I do, you all will be my subjects." Mushun snapped his finger and then disappeared.

[Charlemagne]

Reyzen listened as Mushun continued to berate and insult his father and then watched as Bussel spoke up informing everyone that this was no prerecorded message but a live one and he instantly clicked on, whereas he may not be able to track it he might be able to fry it.
“Charlemagne try to track the location that chips relaying to if you can’t fry it so he goes away.”

Charlemagne was in rest mode when he received an order from Reyzen. He immediately went to work on tracking the signal and found it the middle of nowhere space with a desolate planet near it. He then went to fry the chip and as he did, the projection of Mushun disappeared. He spoke to Reyzen saying, "The signal is as he said young lord and I was able to destroy the chip, but I believe it had damaged master Ruba."

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as Everyone laid into Mushun with their word and could see him unfazed by the words. He was preparing to speak when his father vanished and it felt like his brain was on fire. He then turned and looked at Reyzen and said, "Why would you-" He then collapsed and went unconscious.

[Rasha]

Mushun smirked as his grandson showed confusion as he wonder what turning someone into an android and how it was mean and cruel. He began to laugh as he said, "Mean and cruel, you say? I have made him into the ultimate saiyan warrior and he wastes that potential on ruling ever a cowardly race. He even allowed a proud saiyan to bed one of these lesser beings to create a monstrosity."



Mushun heard as Rash spoke on his mistake of underestimating them and how they would find him. Her anger was apparent it made an ugly look form on her face and when she promised to kill him for Ruba, he laughed. He looked at her and said, "As if I'd let a low class wretch ever get the chance to kill me. No, when I die, It will be by Ruba's hand and no one else. If any of you wretches try to kill me at all, I'll make you suffer a worse fate then Ruba."



Mushun turned his attention to Reyzen as he spoke to someone and told them to track him or fry the chip in Ruba's brain. He smirked and said, "Feel free to try boy, but the location you'll get will be in the middle of empty space. As I said, I will reveal myself the moment the time comes and once I do, you all will be my subjects." Mushun snapped his finger and then disappeared.

Rasha heard Polar as he spoke back to her mentally and she gave a deep sigh and said, "Thank you for your efforts...I will try and help him..." She said and then turned her attention back to the holographic image of Mushun and she glared at him as she heard him call her a low class wretch. She then sneered with venom in her voice, "We shall see!!..." She then heard Reyzen talk to the AI Charlemagne and before she could say anything she watched the hologram vanish and Ruba drop to the ground.

Rasha then ran over to Ruba and checked to see if he was still alive and could feel a pulse. She then turned to Devlin and said, "Get over here...we have to get him in a healing tank...help me pick him up...grab his other arm..." She then waited for him to come over.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched as Ruba collapsed and rushed over as his sister told him to so he could help lift him, Devlin threw an arm over his shoulder and slowly stood up helping Rasha carry him to the tank in silence.

[Rasha]

Rasha and Devlin carried Ruba to one of the more advanced healing pods and they put him in it and she set the thing up and watched a moment as it began to do its job. She then looked over at Devlin and she said, "I know what Mushun said got under your skin...but if you believe his lies and let it get to you he will win..." She then paused a moment then said, "I want you to know right now...I need you here...if I didn't have you here I would probably of failed at keeping my sanity with what just happened...please know I value you being here more than you can imagine."
