Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
Jio Freed, the vessel of Satan and the conqueror of the world, yawned as he looked out the window of his ship known as 'Shin'. He could see the wide open darkness of deep space, as well as the twinkle of stars and a small ice planet a few thousand kilometers away. It was beautiful... But also, extremely boring. He could never go to his home world again, for fear of losing control of the infernal ship and harming innocent people. So here he was, floating through wide open space, doing absolutely nothing.
But it wasn't all bad, he had his wife, Ruby, with him. As well as his first mentor and father-figure, Zero. He was even happy to have his frenemy, Cross, on board with him. But he'd never admit it. Ruby's father, his father in law, Sect Crescent, was also with them. but he wasn't sure how he should feel about him. Even after two years of traveling with him, he was still pretty much neutral to him.
"Bored, Jio?" A gruff voice asked from behind him, he didn't need to look to know it was Zero "yeah, but not much to do about it. Aside from sparring and sight-seeing there isn't really much to do here on the ship." He said, dully; Zero just snickered "if your truly that desperate for something to occupy your time, why not explore that planet over there?" He asked, but Jio simply shrugged "because it looks cold and barren, not much fun if you ask me." He said, somehow looking even more bored.
Just before Zero could say something else, Cross appeared with a grim expression "we need to warp, now." He said quickly, just as the ship began to shake violently "wh-what the hell is going on?!" Jio asked in surprise, before Cross answered calmly "I don't know, it's almost like we're being sucked into a black hole. That's why you need to warp us away, anywhere, now." He explained patiently, albeit with a sense of urgency in his eyes. Jio nodded and closed his eyes, focusing on teleporting Shin away.
When he opened them, he looked out the window to see they were in indeed in a different place... But near a large planet he'd never seen before. "Where... Are we?" Ruby asked in stunned silence, as she walked in from the next room "It seems we successfully teleported." Sect said apprehensively, before turning go Jio "where did you move us to?" He asked, as Jio shrugged "I... I didn't move us here. I've never seen this place before. I swear." He said nervously; as Cross and Sect looked at him skeptically "well if you didn't, what did? And better yet, where are we?" Cross questioned to no one in particular.
Jio sighed heavily and scratched his head "I have no idea. The only thing to do now is to check the planet below and see if we can figure something out. I'll go check it out, be back when I find something out." He said quickly, before teleporting out of Shin and to the planet's surface before anyone could argue. He could practically hear them yelling at him from the ship, and snickered to himself "I'm so getting chewed out when I get back. Good thing they can't leave without my help." He thought with a mischievous grin, as he looked at the area where he had been transported to.
The area was... A city? It was a city, and a very large one at that. But strangely, there wasn't that much noise in the streets below. He was on top of a large building, so he'd expected to hear bustling people and sounds of vehicles moving about, but there was almost nothing. "Where is everyone?" He mumbled, before a mysterious voice behind him answered "this is J city, welcome." It said casually, as Jio yelped in surprise and jumped, before flipping around to see a large blue-haired man sizing him up "Whoa! Who are you? You almost gave me a heart attack!" Jio said angrily
The man held up his hand in defeat and shrugged "sorry sorry, just an old habit." He apologized, before cracking his knuckles "and I'm sorry for this too." He said seriously, before suddenly disappearing from sight. Jio only had a nanosecond to react, crouching down just as a muscular fist sailed past where his head use to be. Jio didn't waste any time in retaliating; balling up his fist, he swung at his blue-haired attacker's gut. But to his surprise his fist was caught, and he saw the man's hand coming at his face just in time to tilt his head to the side and avoid it.
He grabbed the man's arm and swung up, kicking off of him as hard as he could. This time he hit successfully, sending the man flying with a grunt. Quickly, he rolled back to his feet and got in a fighting stance just in time to see the man dropping down on him from above, his hand flat, almost like a karate chop. "Enough!" Jio yelled, as he activated one of the reverse Kabbalah, Adramelech, just in time to let the arm pass right through him harmlessly. The blue-haired man cursed in surprise, before Jio uppercutted him in the gut with all his might, mixing in his own spirit with the attack as it connected.
The attack caused the man to roar in pain as he was sent skyward. Jio didn't hesitate to draw Zero R and add his spirit, before throwing it at the man. Just as he thought he'd won, Zero simply passed through the man as if he wasn't there. 'He's... Not evil?' He thought, as the man swept a leg at him in an arcing kick, and to his surprise a giant knife came out of his leg and straight at him with insane speed and power. He didn't want to risk letting it hit him, even with his intangibility, so he deftly sidestepped and jumped into the air in pursuit of the man. Much to his surprise.
"Your very fast, and strong too!" The man said cheerfully, before striking at him again just as Jio shot a dozen tentacles out of his right hand and directly at his fist. Jio was sure his tentacles would at the very least send the man flying with a damaged arm. But somehow, this punch was much differed from his previous attacks "50 ren Kugi punch!" The man roared, as Jio's tentacles were shredded from the sheer force of the blow. It felt like 50 punches hitting him in rapid succession, and he soon felt his arm snap in several places as he torpedoed into what was left of the building's rubble after the knife destroyed it, along with most of the city block.
With a groan, Jio stood and snapped his arm back into position as he felt his wounds quickly regenerate. "OOOWWW... You damn monster." He cursed the blue-haired man, as he landed a few feet away, his arm looked broken as well, but was also beginning to heal "I could say the same about you. That attack would've killed most people, but you survived it no problem. On top of that, you retaliated with almost equal force and snapped my arm. I'm impressed." He said, still smiling that carefree smile
Jio spit out some blood before glaring "you want a monster? Okay then, you've got a monster!" He said angrily "this city is abandoned, isn't it?" He asked, already guessing the answer "yeah, pretty much." The man answered, seeming more curious then apprehensive of what the boy was about to do. "Good, then I can stop holding back." He said with a smile, as a bone-like tentacle came out of his back and aimed at the man.
The man barely had time to raise his arms in defense as a powerful beam shot from the bone tentacle and straight at him. The resulting destruction took out a majority of the city, and as it cleared, the man was nowhere to be seen. Instead, what looked like large forks were in his place, but they looked greatly damaged. After a moment, the man let out a long sigh as the forks disappeared "whew, that attack would've probably knocked me out cold. Glad I managed to block it." He said, sounding impressed
After getting up and dusting himself off, he walked toward Jio calmly. Jio was preparing for another attack, but what came next surprised him even more. The man dropped to his knees and gave a low bow "I'm so sorry about attacking you like that, I could've killed you!" He said, sounding very sincere and genuinely regretful, before standing again. "I'm glad you survived though, your just as strong as I thought you were. This test was a great success." The man said cheerfully again, before offering his hand "by the way, my name is Toriko. And once again, sorry for attacking you. I was sent to test your power." He explained
Jio stared at the man, then his hand, and slapped it away "are you crazy?! What test? I just got here and you almost kill me!" He growled angrily, as Toriko sweat-dropped "yeah, I said sorry didn't i? I told you, I was sent here to test you. Sorry to tell you this, but you've been trapped in another world by a powerful god. Here, we test newcomers to see two things. First is if your good or evil, and second is your level or 'class' of power. I'm happy to say, you seem like a great kid, and your definitely an A-rank class. Same as me!" He explained
Jio just stood there and tried to take all of this information in "powerful god? Good or evil? Power class? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" He yelled in frustration, as Toriko sighed "simply put... A powerful and mysterious man who calls himself 'Diamond eyes' has transported you here. It's impossible to leave, trust me, we've tried. But he said he'd release us to our own worlds if we could defeat all of the evil in this world." He explained patiently; Jio listened in stunned silence "okay... I think I understand... But how did you know I was landing here, and what makes you think I'm good?" He asked
The man named Toriko smiled "that's easy, you were concerned about bystanders and innocents, a villain wouldn't have cared if the city was populated or not. Your also very... Well, friendly looking. You remind me a lot of a good friend of mine." He explained, before adding "as for how we knew you were here, Diamond eyes always gives us the location and destination of a newcomer several hours before they arrive. We should consider ourselves lucky that they didn't send someone stronger to test you." He finished, as Jio raised his hand as if he were in a classroom
"Uh... Yes?" Toriko said, as Jio spoke "what do you mean by "they?" He asked, as Toriko's expression became grim "remember how I was testing you to see if you were good or not? Well, the enemy sent someone for the same reason. I defeated him a little while before you arrived." He said, as Jio raised his hand again. "You know you don't need permission to speak, right?" Toriko said, as Jio blushed a little and apologized
"So let me get this straight. I'm stuck here with you and your friends until we defeat every single bad guy on the whole PLANET? How many are there?" He asked curiously, as Toriko shrugged "we're not sure either. At least several thousand." He answered, but Jio was silent. Toriko looked at him in worry "hey, are you oka-" he was cut off as Jio jumped up and fist pumped "yes! Finally, something exciting to do!" He said, seeming to shake with anticipation.
Toriko was taken aback for a moment, but soon smiled as well "so, you'll help then?" He asked; Jio grinned "yeah, I'll help. But... Can I go get something first?" He asked, sounding a little embarrassed as he scratched his head. Toriko looked a little confused, but shrugged "sure, then we can go to HQ." he said, as Jio grinned "sounds like fun, I'm in then! Just wait here for a sec" He agreed, before quickly teleporting to Shin to tell his allies and friends what happened to him, and what they're in for on the journey ahead...
