"Rito… are you feeling alright?" It was Zastin speaking. Over the year he has been away from Earth Rito had come closer to Zastin; some could even say they had become like brothers. The royal bodyguard of Deviluke was a trusted ally in many of his mission he took while staying with Gid, the emperor of Deviluke and ruler of the galaxy.
Currently they were making their way back to Earth, which was still about an hour away from their current location. Rito was looking outside the window, observing the many planets they passed by. Normally it would be impossible to see them in the speed they were going but Rito developed the ability to keep in pace with fast moving objects. It was one of the many things he had gained from his training.
"I 'am fine Zastin, just thinking about all the memories I had on Earth…" The orange haired boy tried to reassure.
"Yes, you have come a long way from the weak boy you once were."
"You have also become more reliable in this past year" Rito snickered.
"I do not remember anytime I wasn't reliable" The 17 year old raised an eyebrow at the whit haired man. "Okay maybe a few times…" The man admitted scratching his head. This made Rito laugh a bit.
"Well whatever, that was the past what matters now is the future…" Rito leaned on the bar near the window, Zastin doing the same.
"Well said Rito" The bodyguard said, but he still noticed that the teen was still troubled. "What's bothering you?"
Rito sighed, "Do you think… do you think everyone will still accept me?" The orange hair looked at his hand as electricity coursed through it. "I have changed…"
"Yuuki you have nothing to worry about, I 'am sure Lala and everyone still care deeply about you. Have you forgotten how concerned they were when you left?" Rito remembering all the people that came to stop him from going that day, even Yami made an effort to stop him. But it was probably more of the concern of her target being stolen from her.
It seemed everyone was saddened by him leaving, but Lala seemed the most concerned. She had tried to convince him but with no avail. And in the end Rito left many girls….and Saruyama, crying. At the time he thought it was for the better but now he wasn't so sure.
"I've changed though" but he was cut off by Zastin.
"Rito you have not changed, you are still the kind and caring person everyone on Earth liked. And even with the powers I believe they will still feel the same way." Rito was touched by his words.
"Thank you Zastin, I feel better now."
"You're welcome Rito" The white haired replied. "Oh I almost forgot Gid wants to see you urgently…" a silence between the two as Rito eyed the older man.
"Zastin how long ago was it when he told you this…"
"About an hour ago…" Rito rolled his eyes.
"Same old Zastin" The 17 year old chuckled as he made his way down the hallway.
Rito walked through the hallway arriving at the emperor's room. The doors slid opened revealing a dark room. The teen walked in, and was quickly ambushed. The person shot out spikes of electricity, surrounding Rito in a half circle. The spikes move in their target only to clash in to one another, while their target had vanished.
Rito then appears 6 feet in the air, and is suddenly attacked by spikes in front of him. He quickly raises his right hand, creating a force field made up of electricity. The spikes continue their course only to be destroyed by it, and Rito releasing the force field.
The 17 year old falls back on the floor only to be attacked at close combat. He skilfully deflects the assault using the martial art techniques he learned blocking every of the opponents punches and kicks.
The stranger's right hand then began to spark with electricity as he lunged at Rito. Insincts took over Rito as he stopped the person's hand with psycokinesis, and formed a fireball with his left hand. He braced himself for impact as the fireball exploded causing him to be sent flying in the air, quickly recovering with a back flip.
A shroud of smoke covered the stranger, only to reveal a bright blue light forming in his hand. It continued to grow up to almost 3 feet big. 'I guess I have no choice…' he said in his head as he formed an equal size fire ball in his hand, trying to maintain the focus to keep it stable. He held it with both his hands and launched it at his opponent using up most of his energy. The enemy also launched his attack causing a huge explosion.
Smoke covered the room, soon revealing a panting Rito covering himself with a barrier of steel. He had used the last of his energy creating it.
"Not bad…" The stranger said out load. The lights suddenly turned on to reveal a 3 foot child with black hair and a spear like tail. This child was the most feared of the Galaxy, Gid Deviluke. Gid grinned at Rito, as the 17 year old stepped out of the barrier he had made. "Looks like you're finally suitable enough to marry my daughter."
Rito grinned back at him "I thought we agreed that I would have until I 'am 18 to consider?"
"Yes I remember our agreement, though it is very rude to consider declining my offer." Gid said distastefully. He then smiled slyly "You know I could always destroy the Earth… you realize that right?"
"That is if you get through me…"
"You overestimate your abilities son-in-law; I haven't even used my full power yet." The child grinned.
"Neither have I" Rito replied.
"Yes, you didn't use it when we were fighting." Gid said curiously.
"I don't think the ship can handle another all-out battle between the two of us." Rito pointed out.
"True point, son-in-law, I guess we'll just call this match a draw then." The 17 year-old nodded in agreement. "Well now the reason I have brought you here…" The child pulled out of his pocket what looked like a bracelet, he threw it at Rito and with instincts the orange haired caught it.
"What is this?" He asked.
"It's the brand new technology the scientists created in Deviluke. In it contains information on most of the alien life forms in the galaxy. It might be useful." Gid said turning his back to Rito, though the teen was still sceptical.
"What else does it do?"
The child grinned "It's also a resistor; it will prevent event that occurred in the planet we sparred in doesn't occur again…"
Rito let out a smile of relief "Thank you Gid" bowing his head in gratitude. He began walking back to the hallway when he was stopped by Gid.
"And by the way Rito… you can call me father from now on." The 17 year-old nodded his head, and left the child alone.
"Lala…" the emperor said out load "looks like you have made a good choice…" he began walking to his bed when he noticed the big hole that was where he used to sleep in.
"Next time were fighting somewhere else" he said to himself as he called Zastin to get him a new bed.
"Momo are you in here?" The overactive sister yelled across the room.
"Yeah I 'am here Lala." The third Deviluke princess shouted from inside her closet. She stepped out revealing a more mature and different person. Over the year she had grown to the height of 5'8 and also developed in more mature places (i.e. bust). One other notable change was her hair, which had grown a few inches but was also change to frizzy. She decided to do it this way to gain Rito's attention, but missed the opportunity because he left before she could do it.
The two princesses sat on the bed of Momo, and talked with one another. "So…" Lala began " are you sure you want to go to school?"
"Yes I'am sure, it's getting boring around here with only me, Nana, and Celine. I also want to meet your friends Lala… and also Rito's…" the last part was barely heard, but by the look in her sister's face she knew she heard it.
"Yeah Rito…" obviously still saddened of what happened. Though she hides it, everyone knows Lala blames herself of what happened to Rito. She would cry every once in a while, hoping the boy she fell in love with would come back… though it seemed unlikely. No one knew how long the 16 year old would be gone, they had only hoped for him to come back as soon as possible.
"Lala… don't worry!" Momo tried to cheer her up. "I 'am sure Rito will come back soon, I bet he may even be coming here right now!"
"Thanks Momo" the older sister hugged her younger, content with her company. But she could not shake the feeling of wishing it was Rito instead.
They stayed like that for a minute, and Lala excused herself after, trying not to burden her little sister. Momo was left alone in her room to think about her true intentions to go to school. Truthfully she mostly wanted to go to school because she has devised a plan to create a harem for Rito. Since the ruler of the Galaxy has been known to have many wives Rito, the most likely to become the emperor, will be no exception to that.
She got up from her bed and looked outside the window; the night was filled with stars today. She noticed a star flashing by, and assumed it was what earthlings called a shooting star. Reciting the chant, she wished for Rito to come back home… unknowing the star was the spaceship the now 17 year-old was staying on.
Well I hope you guys liked it. Since the next chapter of the manga will not be released for awhile, it should be out this month, I thought why not make a story. One main problem for people reading the manga was that Rito was completely useless, as proven in many of the chapters of the original and new one. So this story plans to tell the story differently with a more badass Rito.
I don't know if it will be good, but hopefully you will enjoy it. So review on it if you like the battle scene with Gin, and give some suggestions on more powers Rito could have gained in other planets. I realize that the battle scene wasn't very good but I will try to make it better. Also write down any girls you want to see Rito interact with first. As this is a harem I will try to include every of the girls Rito had relations with.
