An assassin's new beginning:
Chapter 1: A new world on the horizon!
It was over. There was no hope left for universe 6. After Hit had seen Jiren defeat Goku without much effort he had decided to try and challenge Jiren himself in the hopes that he could eliminate him. Unfortunately however, that was not what happened. In spite of Hit's best attempts to take down Jiren nothing seemed to work.
Throughout the fight, Hit had been improving constantly while fighting him and had even managed to catch Jiren by surprise at one point and land a blow which enabled him to use his newest technique, the time cage in order to bind Jiren's movements to make him easier to defeat. Sadly this did not work as Jiren was able to get out of it, albeit whilst actually struggling to do so.
As soon as Jiren had got out he very quickly made swift work of Hit and eliminated him from the tournament of power. As Hit reappeared up on the stands next to his God of Destruction known as Champa, He immediately hung his head in shame at his inability to defeat Jiren. Hit was well aware that he was basically universe 6's only hope to win this tournament and save universe 6. With his dropout, it was set in stone that universe 6 would inevitably lose and be erased. Now it was just a waiting game to see how long the rest of his team lasted in there before they get thrown out.
Meanwhile, up in another platform, sat the two omniking's with their angel supervisor, the grand priest standing near them looking down on the events that were going on the tournament following Hit's elimination.
Zen'o: Wow that fight was so cool!
other Zen'o: Yeah it was! Jiren and Hit were so cool!
Zen'o: I loved that time cage thing he did.
other Zen'o: I did too! I don't like that Hit got eliminated though.
Zen'o: Yeah me too! I wish Jiren would've beat him but left him in the ring like he did with Goku. That way we could have seen more of him!
other Zen'o: I know! I would've loved to see Hit take on that Vegeta guy again in a rematch! That would be so exciting.
Zen'o: Yeah me too! But he got knocked off which means we will have to erase him once the rest of his team gets eliminated.
other Zen'o: Yeah, that's kinda sad, He is such a cool guy…. To just erase someone as interesting as him would be a waste.
Zen'o: I know.
As the conversation between the two zen'os finished, the grand priest, who up till this point had been silently listening to his lieges conversation decided to chime in.
Grand priest: You know my dear zen'os, Hit does not actually have to be erased.
This statement from the grand priest caused both zen'os to turn their heads to him and look at him with a questioning gaze.
Zen'o: What do you mean grand priest?
other Zen'o: Yeah yeah, what are you talking about grand priest.
Their responses caused the grand priest to smile. His rulers could be quite cute when they don't understand something.
Grand priest: Well, to elaborate on my previous statement, I believe I should let you know that we don't have to eliminate the assassin from universe 6. In fact, I have an alternative for you both that is much better than just merely erasing him like the rest.
Now that really got the Zen'os attention! If there really was another way to go about this then they were more than happy to take it.
Zen'o: Really? That's awesome grand priest! So what did you have in mind.
other Zen'o: Yeah! What's the plan chief.
That last comment from the other Zen'o made the grand priest chuckle. Before this tournament had started Son Goku had managed to get his hands on a device called the Xbox with a game of sorts accompanying it called Halo. Ever since playing it the other Zen'o had taken a liking to the character called master chief. Since then he had made several references towards him. The other Zen'o calling him chief being the most recent one.
Grand priest: Well my plan is simple my kings, instead of erasing him how about we just send him to another universe outside our multiverse and give him a second chance at life.
Upon hearing the grand priest's suggestion, the two Zen'os jumped for joy off of their thrown's which caused the gods of destruction and their angels who couldn't hear what was being said between the three but were watching nonetheless to gain looks of confusion as they were unaware as to why the Zen'os were so excited all of a sudden.
Zen'o: That's a great idea grand priest! I can't believe I didn't think of that!
other Zen'o: Yeah great idea! Let's do that then!
At their words of approval the grand priest smiled. While his lieges may act like they don't care about the universes and people that they are destroying other than Son Goku, it was quite clear that if you managed to make a big enough impact on them, like the assassin just had done in his final moments in the tournament then they weren't without mercy.
Grand priest: Well then my king's, should I inform the assassin of his new fate or should I leave it as a surprise?
Both Zen'os: Inform him please.
Grand priest: As you wish, my lords.
With this done the grand priest used his telekinesis to contact Hit from his mind telepathically so that only he would hear this.
As the scene returns to Hit we see that he has not moved in inch since he had put his head down in shame. Hit now had his eyes closed with a solemn look on his face that showed he was willing to accept the fate that he saw as inevitable. This was of course until he had a familiar voice in his head.
Grand priest: Good day assassin, I hope you are doing well.
The sound of this voice caused Hit to poke out one of his and look up at the Omnikings floating podium with surprise. He knew that voice! It was the voice of the grand priest! But why was he communicating with him?
Grand priest: Ahh, I see you've noticed already that I'm the one speaking to you. Not bad assassin from universe 6 not bad.
Hit: If I may, grand priest, why are you speaking with me?
Grand priest: Well it's simple actually, my lords have decided to give you a second chance in another world rather than simply erase you along with universe 6.
Upon hearing out what the grand priest was communicating to him Hit's other eye opened and both his eyes widened considerably from this new information.
Grand priest: Oh ho, I can see your shocked face from all the way up here. I have to say, that particular look on your face is quite amusing.
Hit ignored what grand priest just said and raised his head up to meet the grand priest eye to eye for the first time since this telepathic talk began.
Hit: Are you serious? I must say that is a pleasant surprise. May I ask why I am being pardoned from erasure unlike the rest of my universe.
At Hit's statement, the grand priest had to chuckle. It would be amusing to see how the assassin reacts to the reason behind him being let off.
Grand priest: That's easy to answer. My kings think that you are in their own words "He is such a cool guy, To just erase someone as interesting as him would be a waste."
This answer that he received was something that Hit was not expecting. Hit had a look of complete disbelief etched on his face from the grand priests reply.
Hit: Grand priest, is that really the reason? I may not know Zen'o at all but I feel that there has to be more to it than just that. Forgive me for saying this but the idea of them letting me live because I looked cool to them sounds absurd.
Grand priest: I guess it would sound absurd given how little you know of the omnikings, however I must inform you that the two kings, as you probably observed yourself from their interactions with others, is that they are rather childish despite their age.Believe me when I tell you, because of the childish way that they go about doing things and thinking about things means that once they have decided on something, it will be done no matter what.
Hit: I see… so if I'm to be spared where will I be going? Will I be working under you or be sent to one of the surviving universes?
Grand priest: Neither. The omnikings and I have decided to send you to a universe completely separate from this multiverse.
Hit: I see, well if that's the case, then when will I be sent to this other universe?
Grand priest: You will be sent there once your team has been eliminated and are about to be erased.
As soon as grand priest gave his reply, he cut off the telekinetic link with Hit's mind and returned his attention to the Zen'os.
Grand priest: My kings, I have informed the assassin of his new fate.
This news made both Zen'os happy as they nodded their approval whilst smiling ear to ear like giddy children.
Zen'o: Now we just have to wait for the rest of universe 6 to be eliminated.
other Zen'o: mm! let's wait!
Roughly 8 minutes following their conversation the rest of universe 6's team had been eliminated. Although it seemed as if the saiyans along with the rest of the team had accepted their fate and didn't seem to care anymore if the bull headed saiyan known as caulifla chasing those two namekians around without a care in the world was any indication.
With all their members eliminated the grand priest decided now to chime in.
Grand priest: All members of universe 6 and universe 2 have dropped out. Therefore, they shall both be erased!
Universe 2 was the first to be erased as the white aura that came around them before erasure was now engulfing all of universe 6 except their angel vados who was excempt.
As universe 6, minus Hit, were giving their final sendoff mainly towards universe 7, the grand priest decided to contact Hit through telepathy for what would likely be the last time he along with anyone in this multiverse ever spoke to him again.
Grand priest: So Hit, are you ready?
Hit: Yeah I guess.
Grand priest: That's good to hear, however I feel I should give you a forewarning before you are transported.
Hit: About what?
Grand priest: Once you are transported to this new world, you may find that your appearance has changed quite a bit. In fact, you look like a human if I'm not mistaken.
That statement surprised Hit a little. Although if that's the only thing he had to worry about then he could live with that. But something told him there was something else that the grand priest had yet to tell him.
Hit turned out to be correct in his assertion as the grand priest continued.
Grand priest: In addition to that, once you make it to the new world, you may find yourself having trouble to access something even close to your true power but don't panic about it. That will only be a side-effect of the teleportation that will wear off in time. Although I must ask that you not question me on how long it will take to wear off as I unfortunately do not have an answer.
Well that was great. So Hit was going to get an appearance change along with a temporary huge nerf on his powers huh? Well then he would just have to deal with that when it came time to.
Hit: anything else I should know about Grand priest? Or is that all?
Grand priest: That is all Hit. Now get ready as its about to happen.
Hit nodded his head at that as the Zen'os closed their glowing hands together which caused universe 6 to be erased on this spot with its legendary assassin disappearing as well towards what would be his new home with a new life along with it.
AND CUT!
Well that's the end of this first chapter of my new story "An assassin's new beginning".
In the next chapter we will see Hit arrive in the sekirei world but what will await him there? Find out in chapter 2 of "An assassin's new beginning".
