King Kai's Replica Planet

[Devlin Chikimaru]

The pure overwhelming power behind Ruba’s energy fueled Devlin with excitement and eagerness. Ruba’s back hand hit with such force Devlin flew backwards, after catching himself and maintaining his guard he noticed the massive Saiyan hurtling towards him. A memory of the Prince’s training flashed through his head.
“Remember young prince, if you can’t take the blow…dodge it.”
The words rung through his head as he front flipped over Ruba and delivered a decent drop kick to the back of his skull. His eyes quickly shift to the other two Saiyans watching and then back to Ruba who had just caught himself and sent a massive ki blast his way. Within a quick moment the blast had ascended to him, and with a quick motion Devlin braced for impact. It exploded sending him reeling back a bit and then through the smoke came Ruba’s right hook. By this point Devlin’s power had past what he had shown him on the lookout, his veins throbbing from his neck and forearms. He had to stay in control he could feel the rage rising. Devlin flies backwards due to the blow and recovers holding one arm out behind him. A blue orb of energy forms in his opened palm and a cocky grin forms on his face. He didn’t know his father but if he did he’d know this was his way of fighting.
“Here… I GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU!”
He shouts and throws the ball of energy. As it moved it grew in size, taking the form of a ki blast. Devlin grabbed his head as sparks fly off of him. The blast connected with Ruba, sending him downward towards the replica planet. Devlin screamed as copious amounts of energy flowed from him the sky turning pitch black. He had reached the peak, his eyes slowly fading in and out. He maintained the energy and looked down to where Ruba should have been. Ruba had recovered and shot back up delivering a jaw breaking uppercut, following up with a flurry of blows. Devlin was being pushed back until he found the opening, sending a straight punch to Ruba’s face.

[Rasha]

Rasha was standing next to Kakarot looking at this fight between Devlin and Ruba and as she was watching she noticed alot of the attitude Devlin carried was very familiar. She remained silent as she watched and as she did she glanced down at Raditz who was still out cold. She then looked at Kakarot and saw him watching with building excitement. She then continued watching.

[Goku]

Goku was watching this fight with excitement. He hadn't really seen all of what Ruba could do so as he watched he started to feel his own blood boil with excitement. He looked forward to the day he could really fight him.

[Ruba]

After delivering his punch to Devlin, Ruba was preparing to chase, when suddenly a massive spike of ki radiated from Devlin. It seemed Ruba was pushing him to his limits. He smiled as he prepared to chase, but stopped as he heard Devlin call out to him. Ruba was confused after, but noticed that the present was his one ki attack. Ruba was able to negated most of the impact, but the force of the attack sent him back down towards the replica planet.

Ruba was able to recover and propelled himself back towards his opponent. As he got closer, Ruba lifted his fist and delivered a resounding uppercut into Devlin's jaw. As Devlin was trying to recollect his thoughts Ruba unleashed a flurry of blows upon open areas of Devlin's body. As Ruba went for another hit, Devlin caught him by surprised and landed a solid hit across his face sending him back. It took Ruba a few moments to correct his trajectory, when another wave of ki pulsed in the air. Ruba looked at Devlin and noticed that Devlin was at his limit and was about to lose control of his power.

Ruba knew it wouldn't be much longer until Devlin came at him with full power. Ruba continued his smile and charged his ki. His green aura enveloped his whole body as he began to throw out random ki blasts. After powering up, Ruba flew towards his opponent landing another hit across his face, but this time Devlin didn't move. Instead all Ruba saw was the whites of his eyes staring at him. It seemed Ruba had pushed him to his breaking point. Ruba smiled and said, "Is that all bastard son of the former Saiyan Commander? Is this all Bardock's first born has to offer Saiyan Royalty? If you want to prove your worth, than show me what your true power looks like!" Ruba retracted his fist and kicked Devlin in the side of the head, sending flying. Ruba gave chase, delivering blow after blow, with Devlin returning his own blows. As they collided shockwaves could be felt across the area. As Ruba went for one more hit, Devlin disappeared and landed a devastating hit to the back of Ruba's neck.

Ruba was sent flying downward once again. Ruba could tell Devlin was getting serious, so he returned the seriousness in kind. He flew back up to Devlin and got behind him. He landed a punch right where his kidney was and as Devlin gasped for air, Ruba said, "Come is that all you have? I was expecting more from you Devlin. If this is all you have, then be gone from my sight." Ruba brought his fist up and slammed it into the middle of Devlin's back sending him down to the replica planet below.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

The resonating power of each blow shook through Devlin fueling him with more anger. He struggled to control himself as he attempted to recover from the blow sending him down towards the planet. He lands on his feet and shoots back up his black aura growing exponentially in size after each second. He’d never been pushed this far before, and if he won he was afraid he’d end up hurting someone. Devlin let go as he reached Ruba. His body was starting to swell and his veins were throbbing from underneath his skin. Devlin screamed at the top of his lungs as his body grew from the overwhelming exertion of power. His blank eyes bulged as a wide smirk formed on his face. The planet below shook violently as the sky screamed with exceptionally fast winds. Devlin shot at Ruba delivering a heavy blow to the gut, and as Ruba bent forwards he was met with an elbow to the middle of his spine. He had succeeded Devlin was finally at full power. Devlin grabbed him by his hair and tossed him away charging a massive purple orb of ki in his hand.
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Devlin cackles and watches as Ruba catches himself mid air. Something about Ruba made him feel safe, but in this state he wasn’t sure it he was. A confused frown forms on his face as the orb disappears. He grabs his head and screams in agony as more energy shoots from him a purple dome of ki slowly beginning to cover him.

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as Devlin recovered quickly and charge at him once more, but this time was different. The saiyan seemed to swell as if his muscles were to big for his body. A transformation similar to his Wrathful State had manifested within Devlin. While Ruba was lost in his own awe, Devlin hit him with a full power punch to the gut, followed almost immediately by a strong elbow in his back. With the blows dealt, Ruba could feel Devlin begin to tear at his hair as he threw him across the space. With only a few moments to recover, Ruba caught himself and prepared for an attack, when suddenly Devlin began to show a familiar scene. A scene he had not seen since 7 months ago.

Devlin had lost control and his body was allowing his ki to run rampant, similar to Rasha. Ruba smiled at the phenomenon, because he had finally found someone who might actually give him a fight. He smiled as his body was wrapped in Emerald green aura. A small sphere expanded around his body as he let out a dimension shattering yell. The very air around him began to vibrate with such intensity, a loud high pitch sound could be heard by everyone in the vicinity. A few moments passed as Ruba was unleashing his full power, when the small green sphere around him cracked and shattered. For the first time in his adult life, Ruba was using his full power. He smiled at Devlin as his amber yellow eyes pulsed.

He charged Devlin at full speed, breaking through the black aura barrier that Devlin put up. As he barreled through, Ruba grabbed Devlin by the throat and dragged him along behind him. Ruba let out a maniacal laugh as he dragged Devlin along. Then Ruba tossed Devlin into the air and caught him by the sides of his face. Ruba stared into Devlin's vacant eyes and smiled maliciously. Ruba pulled his head back, keeping his eyes fixated on Devlin, as he smashes his head into his opponent's. He laughs once more as he tosses the somewhat limp body of Devlin into the air and grabs his leg. Ruba began to fall at an exceptional pace landing back on the Replica Planet.

As Ruba landed, he used the force to swing Devlin down towards the ground, leaving a massive crater. Then Ruba repeated the process, again and again, slamming the body of Devlin repeatedly into the surface of the rock. As Ruba went for the final slam, Devlin was able to break free from Ruba, and landed a powerful punch across his face. Devlin's ki still exploding outward, receded. Devlin stared in horror as he looked into the amber yellow eyes of a unstoppable force. Ruba still smiling beneath the fist of Devlin, landed a blow underneath Devlin's chin sending him back into the air, with Ruba following in close pursuit.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched in horror as Ruba transformed like him but he was different. This form was refined, completely under control unlike him. With each blow Devlin was pushed further and further back into his base form until he eventually was. Devlin was being thrown like a rag doll, like nothing he did phased Ruba. With each slam he screamed in agony feeling his muscles starting to give out. With a swing of Devlin, he was able to slip out and follow through with a punch across his face. Ruba smiled behind his punch and Devlin for the second time in his life felt true fear. Before he could react Ruba sent him up with a devastating uppercut following suit behind him. Devlin shot through the air and zig zagged trying to avoid the behemoth of a saiyan. Where did this power come from? How was he supposed to hold his own against someone who knocked him out of his Beserk state with one of their own? Devlin though and remembered an old technique he tried teaching the prince. He rapidly started spreading microscopic ki bundles all over the sky. If he rushed him he could try to subdue him with the Ki bullets, but if he didn’t succeed he would most likely lose. Devlin stopped mid air and turned to Ruba a soft smirk on his face.
“Ki implosion.”
He says as all of the microscopic ki fragments imploded all around Ruba. He hoped it worked, since it was the first time he had fully used it.

[Ruba]

Ruba was enjoying the chase, but as he followed he noticed that Devlin had reverted back to his normal state. Ruba was disappointed with this development, he wasn't paying g attention to what Devlin was doing. He noticed that Devlin had stopped and was facing him with a smirk on his face. Curious, Ruba began to approach Devlin to ask what was wrong. Suddenly multiple explosions erupted around him. Nothing to major, but he still felt the strength behind them.

He waited for the explosions to subside. As the smoke began to disappeared Ruba was still standing. He stared down his opponent, while still in his Wrathful State. He smiled as he knew this was the last thing Devlin had. He floated towards Devlin with his voice booming, saying, "So Devlin was that enough to prove who is the superior saiyan? Admit who is stronger, the prince or the exiled royal?"

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin hover back in horror, his trump card had failed and so did he. He felt his pride break and then Ruba spoke. Devlin heard his words but was distracted by the fact that Ruba was maintaining his form. As blood dripped from his mouth he looks him in the eyes.
“You are King Ruba. I put all my power in that last attack and it did nothing to you.”
Devlin said softly and landed on the replica planet below them.

[Ruba]

Ruba realized that he had broken Devlin. He watched as he confirmed him the strongest. He descended down to the replica planet with Devlin, still holding his form. As they landed he said to Devlin, "No need to feel defeated. This was just a sparring match, though it seems I may have another saiyan to train." He looked at the others as he released his form. The change in size was interesting to watch, but Ruba looked at Devlin with a smile on his face. He then said, "Also no need to call me King or lord. You are not one of my subjects and you do not need to address me as such. Now shall we discuss training?"

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin nodded a smile forming on his face once more. Ruba had pushed him way further than anyone else had before. Devlin grabs his side and winces.
“As you wish Ruba. If you wish to train me I will openly accept it. That form of yours is more complex than mine.”
Devlin said and sat down on the ground. He picked up his pouch and pulled a vial of liquid out. He popped the top and swigged it all down at once rejuvenating his health and stamina.

[Rasha]

Rasha had watched the whole fight and was in total awe at Ruba's strength. She was also pretty fascinated with Devlin. She seemed to recognize some moves but not sure from where. She then saw Devlin drink a vial of solution and regained his vitality. She then looked at Kakarot who was also watching intently. She then looked back at Ruba and as she did she thought back on how everything had gone since they came to King Kai's to start training. She then glanced at Raditz who was still passed out. She then crossed her arms as she heard Ruba getting distracted at Devlin and she cleared her throat loudly at him and said, "Hey what about us?...or have you forgotten our training?..."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin crosses his legs and goes into a meditative state. He needed a breather from the sparring. He heard Rasha yell at Ruba and then drifted into his subconscious

[Ruba]

Ruba smiled as he watched Devlin recover quickly from their bout. He was about to say something, when Rasha jumped in and began to yell at him. He sighed and said, "You have nothing to fear Rasha, I still planned on training you. I just believe that Devlin would benefit greatly from my training, so he can control his untapped potential." Ruba gave Rasha a smile and looked over to Devlin. He seemed to be in a meditation state. Maybe he was going over the battle he had, or just taking a breather. Either way Ruba kept an eye on him closely.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin went over the entirety of their battle watching them fight as if he was a spectator and not a participant. Ruba was calm throughout the entire encounter even when he was in his Berserk state. Devlin was surprised he was able to hold his own against him for as long as he did, if he made a wrong move it probably would have cost him. Devlin’s eyes open and he remains sitting in place.

[Goku]

Goku had been watching the fight with excitement. He could feel the power coming from both of them and as he watched the two of them fight he was studying them closely. Memorizing each of the moves they done. When the match finally ended he was left in awe and then he got excited and said, "OH MAN THAT WAS AWESOME!!...I can't wait to be able to fight the both of you guys!!"

He then stepped forward and said to Ruba, "DUDE that was awesome!! how come you didn't tell us you had that much hidden strength?"

[Rasha]

Rasha gave Ruba a nod then she turned back to Raditz and said to herself, "Humm...might be best to let him finish his recovery inside the replica house...I believe there is a bed in there he can lay on." She then reached down and picked up Raditz, and even though he was a good head taller than she was she had no issues picking him up. She then carried him inside and laid him down on the bed. She then sat next to him and looked at him as he slept.

As he slept she thought of the hard childhood he had and the struggles he went through to just feel worthy of the elite status he got. She thought of how much she also didn't tell him about her hidden abilities. She gave a sigh then said, "I'm sorry I did not tell you everything...there is still so much i myself don't understand...this strength I have feels so over whelming at times and I don't know what would of happened if I had let any of it be seen back when we were kids. I mean I know Father and the king were pretty good friends, but the king also didn't like uncertain strengths...I was also very fearful of my psychic abilities. I knew if the king found out i could read his thoughts it would of likely gotten me killed and maybe our whole family exiled so I stayed both silent and unwilling to fight for a long time..." She paused and looked down then said, "This was my fault...if I had told you long ago, and maybe if you didn't think I was always trying to show you up this wouldn't of happened..." she said then paused and looked up at him and said, "If I had told you that you also have hidden potential just like me would you of even listened..." She then sat quietly as she waited for Raditz to regain consciousness.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin watched the twins go inside as a soft smile formed on his face. He wanted to tell all three of them who he was, but would they accept him? He worked for the enemy which made him an enemy as well, but since his gaze fell on the three saiyans violence was his last intention. He felt a tear fall down his face and he stands up, he was being a weakling again showing his emotions. He walked to the other side of the replica plane and stared out into the horizon. He didn't know what to do.

[Ruba]

Goku had been watching the fight with excitement. He could feel the power coming from both of them and as he watched the two of them fight he was studying them closely. Memorizing each of the moves they done. When the match finally ended he was left in awe and then he got excited and said, "OH MAN THAT WAS AWESOME!!...I can't wait to be able to fight the both of you guys!!"

He then stepped forward and said to Ruba, "DUDE that was awesome!! how come you didn't tell us you had that much hidden strength?"

Ruba smiled as he heard what Kakarot had said. He looked to the younger saiyan and said, "There never was a need to tell you, plus I'd just waste ki if I should you. Devlin has done something that no one else has done, except two I should say. He is strong and I hope he'll stay with us to improve his skills a bit." Ruba looked over at Devlin who walked away from them. He could sense something was wrong. He started to follow, when he saw Rasha pick up Raditz and carry him inside. He looked back towards Kakarot and said, "See if Rasha needs any help. I'm going to talk to Devlin." Ruba turned and started to follow Devlin.

Devlin watched the twins go inside as a soft smile formed on his face. He wanted to tell all three of them who he was, but would they accept him? He worked for the enemy which made him an enemy as well, but since his gaze fell on the three saiyans violence was his last intention. He felt a tear fall down his face and he stands up, he was being a weakling again showing his emotions. He walked to the other side of the replica plane and stared out into the horizon. He didn't know what to do.

Ruba approached Devlin and said, "Not sure how they will feel once you tell them? I believe the one you should speak to is Rasha. Raditz won't accept you if you don't have proof and Kakarot doesn't really care about his past so he won't understand. Between those three she would be your best bet." He placed a hand on Devlin's shoulder and stared over the horizon with him. He smiled and said, "I have a proposition for you Devlin, but we will talk about that later. I'm going to grab your sister. You can tell her who you are and then I can tell you both the truth about you Devlin."

Before Devlin could turn and respond, Ruba was already walking away. Ruba knew it was time to tell them all the truth about Devlin and his father,, but he was fearful of their response.. as he approached the house he saw King Kai still resting and Kakarot doing some stretches. He smiled as he entered the house and saw Rasha watching over her brother.

His smile disappeared as he looked at the unconscious Raditz. He still felt the anger and hatred Raditz had for him, even in an unconscious state. He reached down and tapped Rasha, causing her to jump a bit. It seemed she was lost in thought. She turned towards him as he said, "Devlin wishes to speak to you about and important matter. Come with me." He set his hand on her shoulder and teleported them in front of Devlin.

[Goku]

Goku looked at Ruba as he told him he wasn't strong enough yet. And as he heard him speak he wasn't let down instead he was just more excited and focused and he said, "I may not be strong enough right now but one day I will be able to hold my own against you and I can't wait until that day comes!" He said then watched as Ruba walked off to go talk to Devlin. He then turned and looked at King Kai a moment then walked into the house and saw Rasha sitting next to Raditz. He stood quietly as he watched her.

As he watched the two of them he thought about the first moment he met Raditz and how he felt bad. Now he just sees his older brother who struggled alot. He didn't know fully how to feel but seeing how Rasha feels about him he gave a sigh and decided not to interrupt.

He then stepped back out and sat down under the tree next to the house and waited.

[Rasha]

Rasha didn't hear when Kakarot came into the house, instead she was focused on Raditz recovery. As she was sitting there she felt a hand on her shoulder and she slightly jumped then looked up and saw Ruba. She heard what he said and she stood up and followed him out to where Devlin was and as she approached she said, "You wanted to see me?..."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Both Ruba's voice and touch were gentle, something Devlin wasn't used to. Before he had a chance to react Ruba had set to the house for Rasha. Devlin swallowed his emotions and wiped his face. It was time to reveal the truth. He looked up at them a soft smile on his face.
"Hello Rasha, I apologize for taking you from your twin brother, but out of the three of you I believe you may be the only one who will believe me. It's in regard to who I am to you three. I do not know if you have realized it but I am your eldest brother. I am the bastard child of Bardock "
Devlin says his eyes slowly falling to the ground at the name of his father. His fist clenched and he stood straight.
"I was abandoned and tossed aside, brought up under the guidance of our late King. He was the one who raised me, and when the day came when he sent me off before our planets destruction he confirmed whom my biological father was. I apologize if this is to much to understand, or if you don't believe me. I'm sure Raditz won't. Not after growing up alongside me with no hint towards it "
He could feel himself start to shake and attempted to contain it and looked away.

[Rasha]

Rasha looked at Devlin and was silent for a moment as she listened to him. As she listened to him she remembered one time when her mom told her of another child that was lost in child birth. Her eyes went wide and she said, "Wait...what??..." She then stepped back a moment then looked closer at Devlin and said, "Oh no...bastard child...oh how cruel..." She said then looked at Ruba who stood silently.

She then looked at Devlin and said, "There never was a Bastard child...at least not what mother said. She spoke of a child lost in child birth...oh my god...you are him...I thought I recognized some familiar traits while you two fought..."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin listens to her words and nods slowly. Their mother thought he had died in childbirth? He didn't know of his mother that subject was never told to him.
"Indeed I am little sister, only I didn't die. I know not what happened after my birth but my earliest memory is of King Vegeta and the royal family. I grew up a prodigy not only as a warrior but a scientist. I know not of Mother, she was never brought up to me. I saw you and Raditz many times before I was put on the Prince's squadron with him but was never certain until the day I met father."
Devlin says softly a tear dropping to the ground. He felt his energy rising and immediately reclaimed his composure.
"I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
Devlin says looking her directly in the eye, which was rare for him to do. Devlin Son of No one had finally claimed his true identity.
"There's probably so much you want to know "

[Ruba]

Ruba watched as the siblings had their moment. He listened as Devlin told Rasha about his relations to her. He saw Rasha react in horror at the story he told her. Then he heard Rasha mention the stillborn child and gritted his teeth. Only he knew the truth of what happened that day. He stepped forward and said to the two, "I can explain why these events happened if you want. You both may hate me after I tell you though."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin's gaze fell off of his baby sister and on to Ruba. He knew something he didn't, so he would let him talk.
"What do you speak of Ruba?"

[Rasha]

Rasha turned her head and looked at Ruba and her eyes narrowed and she said, "Yes...please explain what this is about..."

[Ruba]

He sighed as the two saiyans stared at him. He felt as if he was being stabbed by daggers repeatedly. He looked to Rasha and then to Devlin. He straighten himself up, clenched his fist and said, "Devlin you weren't abandoned on purpose as you were told, and Rasha your mother did not give birth to a stillborn. Devlin was the child your mother spoke of, but it's not her fault for what happened. My father, Mushoom Vegeta, was the doctor in charge of your birth Devlin." Ruba paused as he noticed both of their eyes go wide.

He sighed and continued, "My father was always jealous of how close Bardock was to the king. He felt it was his rightful place to be at the king side. So before Bardocks demotion to low class, Gine came to his clinic to give birth to you Devlin. My father assisted her with this, but had alterierior motives. Once Gine gave birth to you he gave her a sedative and altered her. So once she woke up all she could see was a stillborn child laying on the table next to her." He paused again. He saw how mortified the two were and he clenched his fists tighter, causing his palms to bleed.

He looked to them both and said, "As you can see he was successful. He robbed your father and mother of their first born out of petty revenge. Once Gine had left my father kept Devlin as his own personal trophy, until one day I broke Devlin free and took him to my Uncle. King vegeta realizing who he was the son of, took Devlin in as his own, until the day Devlin was ready to face his family... I'm sorry..." Ruba stopped talking and awaited on their responses.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin stood mortified by the words spoken to him by Ruba. His own father programming Devlin's mother to believe he was dead? A quick burst of anger shot through him and he shook it off. His father's actions weren't Ruba's fault, and in the end Ruba did the right thing. His energy fluctuated intensely as he stared at Ruba.
"I see but it wasn't your fault, it was your father's. In the end you did what you thought was right, even if it wasn't my family."
Devlin says through clenched teeth. Something inside him wanted to snap as his energy rose. He turned and faced the horizon once more.

[Rasha]

Rasha listed to Ruba speak and as she heard him speak she wanted to be mad but that anger turned to sadness as she thought of this. She then looked at Devlin and saw him holding his emotions in check though with trouble. She then put her hand on his shoulder to reassure him it would be OK.

She turned her focus on Ruba and said, "I want to be angry at this, but in truth I'm more sad because this boy spent his life in a lie...the pain of being lyed to is worse than the torment of thinking you lost a child...I can't imagine how this made you feel especially now but I hope you don't keep anything else from us. And you also know if Raditz finds out about this he will dislike you even more so I will have say we don't tell him...not yet."

Rasha then looked at Devlin and went over to him and faced him and said, "The one who should be most upset is you, but you are not alone...not anymore, so chin up brother."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin nods and his energy slowly calms. He knew getting angry wouldn't solve anything, and he wasn't mad he was confused as to why him.
"Of course sister. Anger won't fix the past, its how we face the future that will " Devlin said and his soft smile formed on his face.

[Rasha]

Rasha looked at Devlin and gave a nod then she said, "I am curious though...you came here under the direction of Prince Vegeta. So that means you had been working with him all this time...I am wondering what your place was in with how Raditz was treated while he was under him...I know Nappa never really treated him kindly...he was angry at the humiliation dealt him when he was beat in a match with Bardock and he took alot of that anger out on Raditz..."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin nodded knowing this question would come eventually.
"That fat oaf nappa would get reprimanded when the prince wasn't around. I dealt with him alone, even though he seemed to want to go at Raditz more afterwards. I couldn't correct him with the prince around because in the eyes of vegeta he was below him. He would correct himself when reminded that I could easily replace his armor with a weaker alloy based one. I hated how Raditz was treated "
Devlin stated and pulled a rag from his coat. He tied it on his forearm and looked at Rasha.

[Ruba]

Ruba was surprised with how well these two had taken the news. He knew deep inside Devlin was upset and angry, but didn't hold any ill will towards him. Rasha, however, was always difficult to read. He could see some glimpses of anger, but saw more sadness than anything. He wasn't sure what she was feeling at all. Ruba approached Devlin and said, "Though they were my father's sins, I will take responsibility for any feeling you have. If it would make you feel better, I'll let you both Slug me across the face as hard as you want." Ruba bowed his head towards the two hoping they would except his offer.

[Rasha]

Rasha listened to Devlin and she said, "I am glad he had at least one person on his side...the stuff he went through while we were near each other I often felt myself cause of being twins...but when the planet got destroyed and we got separated I couldn't find him."

She then heard Ruba speak and she looked at him and said, "Yeah I could smack you but what would the point be of that?...yes the situation sucked, but in honest truth you likely saved his life and he is no longer lost...so if I had anger it is gone and I forgive you."

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin shook his head and smiled at Ruba.
"I'm fine. Considering I've already socked you enough already I'll say it makes up for it. If anything Ruba I am thankful you told me. You could have continued keeping it from me my friend."
Devlin says and pats him on the back.

[Ruba]

Ruba raised his head as they declined his offer. He smiled as Devlin spoke softly of him and remembered a memory. One he thought was long lost. The memory of him seeing Devlin thriving as the prodigal son under the king and still being the only one who accepted him for what he was. He smiled and said to Devlin, "You know it's funny that you call me that after 24 years. You'll never change Devlin, no matter how old you get." Ruba smiled and pat Devlin on the back as well. He turned and went back towards the house he called to them, "Cone on let's get Raditz up to continue training!!!"

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin chuckled and nodded. He never forgot his old life, and even if something happened with Mushoon Vegeta he wouldn't allow it to affect his and Ruba's friendship. Devlin followed behind Ruba without thought.
"Indeed, it's time for that knucklehead to awaken "

[Rasha]

Rasha looked at the both of them and as she listened to them she stepped in and said, "OK Guys...if you want to come with me then fine but let me wake him up...this whole thing was my fault and I should be the one to wake his stupid ass." She said then turned and headed back to the replica house. She paused a moment then went inside and as she approached the bed Raditz was on she said, "You know I am not an idiot Raditz...you have been healed so I know you are just laying there playing possum on us...so time to wake up!" she said and kicked the side of the bed to jolt him awake.

[Devlin Chikimaru]

Devlin stops outside the replica house and fumbles in his coat and pulls a long cigar out and a silver cylinder. He pops the cigar in his mouth and pushes the side of the cylinder heating the top up and allowing him to light it. He thought of what would happen when he had to go back to Vegeta. He pondered on what his choices were, returning to Vegeta meant returning to those damned frost demons and abandoning or even killing his friends and family. Staying here not only put a target on his back but even the entire planet. He exhaled and hopped onto the roof. He squatted there and stared into the horizon.
