"I can't watch on any longer! This has gone far enough!" The words came out of Goku's mouth were nothing more but his true and honest feelings. Standing by and watching chaos unfolds one by one around him was getting him to his core. Hell or not, he had to do something to stop it. The blazing aura of Super Saiyan around Goku continues to burn brightly among the crowd, who all stood still and frozen, unable to comprehend what just happen. All they saw was a gold humanoid figure on top of the man.
Genta has an astounded slash surprised expression on his face, but at the same time, felt an explosion of happiness in his stomach. Realizing that his granddaughter was saved by the man in gold. The power flowing off of Goku was pressuring many around, especially the Royalist guards. They all kneel down in fear.
"Is..is..that a God?" This question was spoken by one of the guards and out of great fear, he began praying for mercy. Some follow as well. Out of nowhere, one of them was confident enough to begin shouting at Goku. "He's no God! Get up now and kill him whatever he is!" Most of the Royalist guards listened and began charging toward Goku with their weapons at side. They began surrounding Goku, drawing guns and sword at his direction. "Sur..surrender right now or..or..will we put you down!" One of them stuttered.
Stepping down from the unconscious man, Goku stares at the guards with fury and hatred. Even up to this point, they can't seem to understand what they are doing is wrong. Defiling people, robbing them of their hope? It was enough to drive Goku mad.
"Go ahead. Try to put me down...then you will see what happens next." And then, they without a second thought, they began charging toward Goku. Frowning, Goku stood, waiting for them, if they even have a brain, to turn back. But no, their incompetents was at its peak. "HAAH!" Goku shouted, blasting away the guards with a Kiai, and just enough to knock them out completely unconscious. Some flew off many meters away while others crash into objects. Now everyone around is even more terrified. 'Looks like they definitely won't be coming back from that. I should set everyone free now.' Goku said before powering down to his normal state and sighing.
Looking around, Goku felt guilty for scaring the innocents and so he did the best he could to fix it. He began speaking, "Everyone!" startling the crowd but he continues on. "I'm sorry that you all have to see that. My name is Son Goku and I'm here to set you free. Believe me when I said 'this has gone far enough' because everything I saw here was terrible. I can't imagine what you all have to live through every day...like this. And so I'm only asking you all one thing…" Fear decreases from the crowd. Goku gives a bright smile before finishing his last sentence.
"Can I have all of your trust?"
Hours later…
After the rest of the Royalist guards were taken out and all of the prisoners were set free from their cells, all of the workers and slaves began packing whatever they left to go to a nearby liberated district. But not without cheering for the hero that saves them. Many had tears of joy. Yes, some mourned over their dead loved ones but gladly still carries on. As the large crowd lifts Goku into the air, they began tossing him up and down. Chanting their savior's name. Goku meanwhile laughs childishly. Well, his first impression of this world isn't all that bad.
The journey was a bit long and treacherous at best but they were able to make it to a nearby liberated district, 1055th. A place, like no other, was filled with beautiful nature and cozy homes for the refugees to live in. Goku stayed with Genta and his granddaughter, who happily took him in and thanking him for everything he did. They offered to give him anything in return but Goku refuses, saying that they didn't need to.
A night of rest later and morning came. As a heavy sleeper, Goku continues sleeping in an awkward position with only a boxer and a white t-shirt on. Suddenly, a loud clang can be heard from across his room, abruptly waking him up. Goku rubs his eyes before looking to see who made the noise. "Onii-chan! You're late for breakfast." That voice came from Genta' granddaughter, Kotona, who put on a cute angry puff face with a tray and spatula on hands. Goku scratches the back of his head, chuckling.
"Sorry, sorry, but thanks for waking me up, Kotona." He said, patting her head, who blushes at his touch. "By the way, when did you start calling me, 'Onii-chan'?" Kotona replies, "I don't know. I guess you're like a brother to me since you live here with us." But then her thoughts wander, 'Maybe even more than a brother...No, what am I thinking? I'm way too young for him.' Goku stood up and began stretches his muscles causing Kotona to blush red like a tomato with smoke coming off of ears, noticing his godly body. "Hehe, I guess that fits. Will you wait for me outside?"
Kotona happily nodded before head out of Goku's room. After putting on the clothes that Genta gives to him, which consisted of a light brown t-shirt with a long black string belt around his waist and a dark brown pant. It also comes with long black boots. Overall, they were just your average medieval peasantry attire.
Goku got the feel of it and actually like it but still prefer his gi over anything. Set and ready, he walked downstairs to the kitchen and was greeted by a wonderful smell of food in the air. Loaves of bread, meats, corns, etc. "I see Kotona here has woken you up. Please join us, Goku." Genta said along with Kotona who smiles. Sitting down, Goku felt extreme happiness. It's been so long to be able to sit down and just have a nice breakfast or dinner together as a family. He was deeply grateful for what Genta and Kotona did for him. Tears began welling up in Goku's eyes. He tries to wipe it away but Genta notices. "Are you okay Goku?" In return for all of his gratitude, Goku smiles and replied, "Thank you."
Putting the emotional moment away, the family began eating. Enjoying as much as they can. The food was very good even as simple as it is. Among them, Goku was gulping left and right at inhumane speed. Genta's jaw dropped along with Kotona, who couldn't even process what was happening. Dishes were pilling of course and when breakfast was over, Goku decided to help Kotona wash them.
Meanwhile, Genta holds a plan for him. "When you're done finishing the dishes, Goku, how about we head out and show you around town. You can come too, Kotona." he said. Goku nodded and gives him a thumb up. Kotona squeal in excitement, as she was finally able to spend sometimes with her number one idol.
District 1028th, Rebellion HQ
It was all building up to this point. The day of the uprising. All of the member and recruits of the rebellion was at the HQ, a gigantic city underneath the ground of Bellock Tower, away from the rest of civilization atop. Leaders and high ranks sat on their thrones, above the large crowd of armed men and women, who were ready for battle. Among the thrones, one stood up and began speaking.
"The time has come, brothers and sisters. For many years, we stood in the shadow, training and preparing ourselves while the innocents were torn bits by bits. I watched a young girl getting defiled by the Royalist in front of her family. I stood and watched my men mutilated and killed ruthlessly in the battlefield. WELL TODAY, I SAY, WE HAD ENOUGH! TODAY IS THE DAY WHERE WE WILL GAIN VICTORY AND GIVE HOPE BACK TO THE PEOPLE!"
Cheers rung the city, it could be heard from miles away. From the crowd, there was Hiko, standing stiffly with an emotionless face. He was getting impatient, all he wanted to hack down the Royalists in the most brutal way possible. Vengeance was the only thought in his mind right now. 'All of them. Those fucking shitbags. They will pay...with their lives.' Suddenly someone touches his shoulder which pulled him out of his mind. Looking to his left, it was his best friend, Hans.
"You okay man? Your face is all weird." He said. Hiko smiled a bit and reassures him that everything is fine...for right now. They were about to head out for war anyway and no doubt the two we see things that will scar them for the rest of their lives.
"So? How is it going with you and Shana, eh?" Hiko teased with a smirk on his face. Hans sweats, gulping in embarrassment. "Uh...Ummm. Well, t-things do seem pretty well. I mean, w-we do talk more than once."
Hiko's eyes twitched as his frustration rises. He lightly slaps Hans in the back with his hand. "By the Gods, just go out with her already. You do know that the uprising will start in a few days right?"
Hans nervously laughs, secretly peeking to his right to see his crush Shana. "Maybe you're right."
Yokubo, District 2001st
Unlike the one-hundredths districts, the two-hundredths section was more advanced. They hold modern day technologies and the home of the most powerful military in Yokubo. The section was prosperous, wealthy, and peaceful. But crimes still happen normally. Rape, homicide, attacks, robbery, etc.
Fortunately and unfortunately, this was the place for the daughter of Athena, Cassandra, to land in and begin her mission. Using a magic teleportation spell from her homeland, she appears out of thin air in a dark alley. Looking around, the environment was odd to her but the Mortal Realm is different in many aspects from the Heavenly Realm. Luckily, before the start of this mission, Cassandra has studied about the many cultures of the mortal and the things she learned both relief and sickened her.
Due to her armor, going out will definitely draw attention and so Cassandra uses another spell to make her outfit that goes along with this world. A red beautiful dress with long skirt and black high heels. It felt foreign and could take some time to get used to but she managed.
Walking out and almost stalling due to the high heels, many pedestrians walking by stares at her. Specifically, the males who already had butterflies in their stomach when their lustful eyes on her. At this point, Cassandra feels extremely uncomfortable and start to walk away with no sense of direction. She then heard a whistle on her right and look to see a middle age man eyeing her with interest. "Hey baby. Why don't come over and hang out with me, I show you something you'll never forget." He said as he licks his lips in lust.
If he was given another chance, then he'll be lucky because the daughter of Athena didn't take too kindly to those comments. "How dare you mortal, I shall-" Cassandra immediately shut her mouth close, realizing that the more she talks, the more she is exposing her secrets to this world.
It would be a risk if the mortals know that there was a woman send from the heavens into their world. Cassandra decided to walk away but not before giving the man a terrifying glare which made him cowers in fear.
As Cassandra continues to observe her surrounding while walking at a fast pace, she notices that everything around her was so advance and alien. The screens on the tall buildings, moving objects with wheels, and the way the people dressed.
However, Cassandra knew that not everything in this world is as the same as here. There are places that are not advanced and technological as this section of Yokubo. There was no doubt that the earth-land she is on is larger than what she expected.
District 1028th
Preparation and declaration were finally completed. So begin the uprising as thousands of armed men and women rushed out of their HQ through a largely hidden gate, many mostly rode in horses or dragons, toward the capital of the Royalist in District 1500th. It may look like a long travel, but according to their calculation, it would only take a few days. Once they get a hold of the capital, the Royalist will have no choice but to surrender. As an assassin, Hiko is assigned to stealthily infiltrate inside the capital and help the army. His best friend Hans will have to move along with the combatants.
'My time has finally come. Just you bastards wait...I'm coming for you.'
As the heat of the sun and warm air touches their bodies, traveling was getting more and more difficult at every minute passing by. The rebellion was getting weaker along with their animals' companions. All of them never expected to be moving through the hottest desert of Yokubo, Bite of Scorpion in District 1045th. Unfortunately, some of the members died along the way due to either exhaustion or dehydration. In honor, they were buried on the sides of their path. As Hiko wipe the excessive sweat from his forehead, he looks right to see the leading commander of the group, Tamo, getting frustrated. He can't blame the elf man though, at this pace, the rebellion will eventually be weakened by a huge percentage. What's worse is that there is no way of telling what time it is right now or any sense of direction.
His friend, Hans, came up to him. "Hey...are you alright man?" Hiko looked at him in fatigue. "Really? Do I look I'm alright?" He sighs and continues, "I feel like I'm about to drop in the sand at any moment now."
"Geez, I feel the same way too. When does all this war thing end." Hiko shakes his head as he looks around. In his vision, he could something in the far distance but can't clearly make it out due to the sand. But as he squinted his eyes, he saw something terrifying.
An army full of thousands and thousands of Royalists, charging at his direction.
Hiko eyes widen and began shouting toward the commander, Tamo. "ROYALISTS, INCOMING AT THE EAST." Tamo quickly reacted and the sound of a horn was blasted.
All of the rebellion pull out their weapons and glares at the incoming Royalists. "Looks like they are bringing the battle to us! LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT IT MEANS TO FIGHT THE REBELLION!" And so began the roars and the rebellion began charging toward the Royalists, who were doing the same.
Soon, the two great armies touches and weapons clang. Soldiers fought with brutality with each side spewing the others blood. Screams of agony and death can be heard as they tore each other apart. One can be so terrified as a Rebellion soldiers head was cleaved off by a Royalist.
In the midst of the brutal battle, Hiko and Hans are seen working together. Dodging, parrying, and taking down Royalist as a duo effortlessly. As Hiko stab a Royalist in the chest with his dagger and finish him off with another in the head, a second Royalist can be seen coming toward behind him, ready to strike him down with a sword. Hiko looks behind and gasp, quickly seeing his entire life flashes before his eyes. But thankfully, the Royalist was taken down by Hans, who intervene and cut his throat open with a swift strike of his blade.
"You should start looking out for yourself, Hiko." Hans said before getting back to fighting. Hiko quickly thanks him and got back to fighting as well. 'Damn, if Hans wasn't there, I could have gotten myself killed. I should keep my eyes open for any side attacks.'
Keeping that in mind, Hiko hanging on much longer but not far. The overwhelming force of the Royalist was pushing the Rebellion back. Their commander, Tamo, is currently fighting with one of the five Royalist's commanders, The Ruthless, a tall man clad in armor with a battle axe and a merciless personality. As Tamo barely dodge another swing, he notices the rebellion army numbers was rapidly going down. More and more of his men were killed in cold blood. All he knew now was that victory was not in their favor.
"DAMN IT! WE CAN'T HOLD FOR LONG! RETREA-" Tamo's sentence was cut short when a long rope suddenly wraps around his neck, snapping it and ending his life. As his body slowly drops lifelessly to the ground, the entire rebellion army panicked and withdraw their way out of the battle. As they ran for their lives, many weren't lucky when the Royalists began picking them out one by one.
The culprit who killed Tamo was another Royalist's commander, The Wild, who was a woman dressed in all black spandex with a long whip in her hand. She smiles seductively as she stares into her victim dead cold eyes.
Two individuals, however, didn't stand down and kept fighting, even if it means to embrace death. Hiko and Hans clashes every single Royalist they could touch. The two simultaneously defend and attack like brothers. They know that they won't survive or even stay in one piece, but they sure are going to give their enemies one hell of a fight to remember.
Parrying another swing from a Royalist, Hans does a fast 360 spin before cutting him down with a powerful strike through the chest. Hiko, on the other hand, quickly backflip to dodge a spear strike and charges at the Royalist. Stabbing him in the head with two daggers on each other before taking ripping it out. The duo were getting weaker and weaker at every second they fight, finding it harder to breathe due to the lack of stamina.
As the Royalists surrounds them, the two back up onto each other. Each facing the other side. This was their last stand.
"Hey, Hiko. Remember those days when we started out as rivals." Hans said. Hiko responds, "Yeah. I've always hated your guts. But I never imagine that we both end this way." Hans chuckles and gives him a smile. "Same. It was nice being a friend...no...a brother to you."
"Yeah...me too." The Royalists began slowly closing in on the two with spears inches away from them.
"Hiko..."
"What is it?"
"Can we say for one last time...me and you."
"Not..right now Hans."
"That's what...I was thinking too."
The duo separated and relentlessly attacks the Royalists in their general direction. The two swung nonstop and didn't about anything else but killing their enemies. They were able to pick off some, but there came a price to pay. Out of his awareness, Hans was stabbed through the chest by a spear, causing him to drop his weapon and look down in shock. Hiko watches in horror as his friend was decapitated by the in front of him with his head rolling on the ground.
"HANS!" Hiko screams. His rage was fueled to the maximum but was stopped when he felt something on his legs. Slowly looking down, his face was filled with shock. A spear was stuck through his right leg which began spilling blood. Hiko dropped to his knees in pain.
A sound of walking armor can be heard in front of him and so looking up once more, he saw the infamous Royalist commander, The Executioner, a man dressed in fancy gold armor with a helmet on his head. He heard many stories of this commander. He was a terrifying man feared by many. His skills in combat are unmatched. No one was able to defeat him and for those who dare to face him were ended in the most brutal way possible. Hiko watches as the man took one of his daggers and aim at his heart.
The Executioner smirk and began speaking, "No one fucks with the Royalists."
Hiko immediately coughs in blood as his dagger was driven through the side of his heart. The edge piercing him with pain. He takes one last look at the man who murdered him before dropping dead on the hot sand, eyes left lifeless.
"Hehe. Now that was entertaining." The five infamous Royalist's commanders laughed as they watched the rest of the rebels strucked down.
District 1055th
Goku drops on his bed in exhaustion. Him, Genta, and Kotona have spent days going around town and meeting new people. Although Goku like the idea, constantly giving hugs, saying hello, and trying not to mess up sentences was hard in his case. But overall, he enjoyed as much as his new family.
He then heard knocks on his door and stood up to open it, revealing Genta, who has a serious expression on his face, which is Goku thought was unusual.
"Goku, can you come down for a bit? I want to talk to you about something." Goku replies, "Sure, why not?" The two headed downstairs into the kitchen where they sat on the chairs across from each other. Genta began speaking, "Now I know that you don't have much of an idea of what I'm about to tell you but just try to understand, okay?"
Goku nodded, letting Genta continues. "Back in the old days, when I was around my 30's, I was in a group called the rebellion. I was assigned as their current commander and took control of leading them to liberate a district. Are you catching up?" After a few seconds of silence and thinking, Goku nodded but still slightly confused. "The district we were heading toward was packed with Royalists and so we had a battle...it didn't end well. My forces were heavily pushed back but even that didn't stop me from fighting. Eventually, I was overpowered and was taken captive for decades. Which eventually lead me to meet you, Goku."
Awe and shock were expressed on Goku's face. This man in front of him faced a lot of horrible things yet he kept fighting, no doubt he admired him for his bravery and courage. "But I didn't call you here for this. What I want to tell you is that a few hours ago, another battle between the rebellion and Royalist just broked out."
Surprised, Goku asks him. "Really? Who won?" For some reason unknown to him, that question saddens Genta. "Just like many times before, the Royalist mercilessly butchers the rebellion."
Goku grips in hands in anger. These Royalist people who kept hearing about is destroying and ruining the lives of many people. They have to be put down and that is especially true ever since Goku had his first hand on experience back at the concentration camp. But right now at his current, he doesn't possess enough of his regular power. It will take time but knowing Goku, he's going stay still doing nothing.
He abruptly stands up, surprising Genta, and expresses a face of determination. As Goku looks down at his fist, he said.
"Genta, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy but from now on, I'm going to train my heart out until I regain my full power to fight these Royalists." Genta looked at him as if he out of his mind. "What are talking about? Even if you train hard, they will crush you, Goku. Plus we don't even have an army anymore."
Goku smiles at him, "Who said anything about an army. Genta, I want you to know something about me. I'm not a normal being."
"What do you mean?"
"Telling my entire story will take a lot of time but you just have to know that I hold amazing powers inside me. Powers that can cause crazy destruction." Something then clicked inside Genta, "You mean to tell me that what happens back at the camp was-"
"Yup, and I'm going to use that power to defeat the Royalist or whatever they're called. I'll even go beyond that power once again. And when I do, there's nothing that can stop me from giving freedom back to the people."
Genta, who still is unsure of how Goku is going pull off such a feat, stood up to him and rest his hand softly on his shoulders. "I don't know what you are or how you are going to do this, but remember the lives of many rests on your hands, Goku. Same with me and my granddaughter. I trust that you going to do whatever it takes to end this world of its corruption."
In response, Goku gives his signature grin to the man and thumbs up. "Hehe. Believe in me, old man, I am going to save this world."
"Thank you, Goku. Now go ahead back to your room and get some rest. I'm sure tomorrow is going to be a big day for you."
When Goku was able to head back to his room, he was suddenly stopped by Genta. "One question, Goku. Why prepare? Don't your power is already far than enough?"
Goku looks at him with a serious expression while showing a hint of fear. "I have a hunch that something terrible...something... far more terrifying is going to appear. But I just don't know what it is or when."
More frustration was all Cassandra getting right now. She had been walking and searching for any signs of danger but barely even came across one. Yes, there were kidnappings, killings and etc, but none of them were big threats compares to the description of the mission she was given. Did the information Cassandra read was false? It couldn't be because ever since the beginning of Athena's plan to protect the mortal world, no such mistake had ever occurred.
Maybe there was another place in this world that has big threats. 'Yeah, that should be the reason. I guess I'll just move on, plus I have spent enough time here.' And with her powers, Cassandra flew into the air above hundreds of feet before she blasts off into the sunset. Heading to a new location.
As she kept flying through the sky at high speed, she looks down to see miles of lands going past her. There were so much to see, so much to explore. It holds so many beautiful things, but a pity since it also holds evil.
It felt like hours of flying to Cassandra, but she abruptly stops in mid-air when she heard female cry below. She began searching for the source of noise and found that it was coming off of the woods nearby. As Cassandra got closer and closer to the noise, she saw an abandoned shack nearby, which was broken down and barely had any covers.
'It coming from there, no doubt it.' Cassandra heads inside the shack and the cry kept on continuing until it was suddenly silent for reasons only gods know. It was eerie for a few minutes until Cassandra jump in surprise when she heard a deep and low voice behind her.
"Whatcha you doing out here, sexy?" She turned to see a tall obese man looking down at her with lust eyes, which gives her the creeps looking into them. Cassandra responds, "I heard someone crying out here. What do you know?"
"Crying? Haha! I don't know what you're talking about, babe."
"Don't call me that you disgusting animal! How about you stop playing around and tell me what you did to the girl."
"Girl? You wanna to see? Alright, this way." Cassandra glares at him before following in his direction, who slowly follows behind, licking his lips in anticipation. 'Mhm, that ass will be mine.'
Cassandra was soon led to another room, what she saw infuriates her. An entire elf family was chained up by the ceiling and their mouths were taped. There was the father, who looks beaten and bruised, the mother, who had her entire outfit ripped away from her leaving her naked, and two daughters, who were also naked with their faces in tears. It was a nauseating sight. But the men surrounding them didn't think so and saw pleasure in it.
Cassandra quickly out her weapon through a magic spell, which was a long spear with sharp metal edges and gold shaft. A symbol of Athena's helmet was also burned on it. It was a special gift given by her mother on her 14th birthday. The men surrounding her withdraw their sharp steeled weapons as well.
"Now, now. Play nice, honey."
"Put that spear down."
"We can give you a really nice time."
But Cassandra didn't listen to any of them. Instead, she smirks as each of them took a step forward. What clearly happens next is unknown to us but screams and the sound of bone-shattering is all we heard that went across the woods.
Looking back inside the shack, we see Cassandra putting away her spear, standing among the bodies of the men who are now lying on the ground, unmoving. She immediately went to help the family, who hug each other in tears of joy. They bow down to Cassandra and thank her for saving them. She brushed it off, saying 'it was really nothing'.
"No my lady, please, as a gift from us, we wish to offer you a place to stay." The father said.
Cassandra replied. "You don't have to-"
"Please, we insist." Cassandra thought it over for a moment and since she currently doesn't have a home on the mortal realm, it wouldn't hurt to get one. Plus, if she would've said 'no' then it would break the family's heart. Guess there was no other choice. Cassandra kindly accepted, much to the family's delight, and proceed to go to her new home with them.
