Chapter 74: Back at the Beginning.

(Current Date: June 28-29, Age 750)

Ace was nothing short of drained when they arrived at "home". This time, Ace had showed them the route to get there through the village and the farmlands of the East District. If anything, Bulma was inwardly kicking herself for not bothering to use this route all things considering. The tired group had finally arrived back where the spark of the journey began.

"We're here." Ace said landing Kageyama. "The old man's place. Just as quiet as we left it."

"Finally, because I think the adrenaline is wearing off." Violet said tiredly.

Bulma landed the plane and had to drag Gwen out who already passed out. Ace had sensed someone in Gohan's hut but had not bothered on amount on how small the power was.

"Definitely a non-fighter." Ace thought. "I'll deal with her in the morning."

Ace opened up the capsule for his house capsule before wheeling his bike into the garage. The tired four trudged in with Ace locking the door behind them. Bulma dumped Gwen on the couch before passing out in the next couch. Ace and Violet barely crawled into bed after disarming and tossing off their shoes. While Ace and his friends were peacefully asleep, the Branwen tribe was dealing with its own issues back in an oasis in Diablo Desert.

"If you think you can take over the tribe that is my birthright, you are sorely mistaken!" Raven shouted at Vernal who made the push to take over as leader.

"Birthright? We all know Qrow earned the right to lead this tribe but left to peruse his own goals. You were only given leadership by default as you were their only heir left when they died." Vernal said sharply raising Raven's ire.

The pharaoh within her, Theapactra, was slowly merging with Vernal's personality to get her more assertive and less meek towards Raven. The tribespeople gasped at Vernal's nerve to bring that old wound up. Raven was reaching for her sword.

"Besides, you can't even get Ace to join you. That's because he smells your weakness and your pathetic desperation!" Vernal said which Raven to swing her blade at her neck.

Vernal caught the sword and cracked Raven a punch into the sand. Vernal's eyes flared green as she cracked her knuckles. Having no blind loyalty to Raven anymore, nothing was going to hold Vernal back anymore.

I awoke quite early at about the crack of dawn. To think this is day forty-nine, I get up to get ready for the day. After a bath and breakfast, I dawned some fresh clothes. I felt a bit comfy in my tracksuit, tabi socks, and sandals. First things first, deal with my guest. I leave Violet, Gwen, and Bulma asleep as I leave for Gohan's hut. I push open the door and look down on the sleeping person there. A middle-aged woman who looked rather weary with long black hair and pale skin. Her formerly fancy robe was gray, and a bit torn up with one tear to expose a bit more cleavage and a few smaller tears on her right shoulder. She also wore a pretty valuable pair of rectangular ruby earrings with a matching necklace. I find my eyes going down her ample bust that puts her in Panchy's level. A few things that I assume are hers are next to her. I'd let her sleep, but she broke into my (and Goku's) house. Plus, I rather not have to deal with it with the others awake. So, I gently shake her awake. She backs up from me, and I sigh.

"You should be lucky I was out traveling the world as a wandering martial artist." I said crossing my arms. "Or else I'd be madder that you broke into my home."

"You're the owner? Please, I meant no trouble by using your place." She pleaded.

"All right, I just need an explanation. Who are you?" I asked.

I learned that her name was Chiiza Magister, the matriarch of the Magister family. Apparently, she ran a tavern and a bordello with her husband, Joshua Magister. That place they ran? The Broken Heart Bordello. Apparently, they were situated not too far from Dragon Rock which was higher up on Mount Paozu. I already knew Dragon Rock was full of the stronger monsters. The bordello attracted bandits, treasure hunters, and the like. So, they were accosted by the Kuma Mercenary Clan who attacked them several days ago by burning their home to the ground murdering her husband in the process.

"I'm sorry for your losses." I said empathically.

"I'm just worried for my son, Jun." Chiiza said tearing up.

I hear someone coming, and I look to see a little boy at about eight or nine years wearing a black shirt, blue shorts, matching shoes, and a battered cloak more fitting an older man with strange pattern. He had black hair with white tips.

"Mama!" He cried up running up the road.

Looks like Jun found his mother, and Chiiza was ecstatic to see him. That's when arrow nearly nicked his neck. There went my good mood!

All Rubella wanted was a chance to prove herself. She wanted to badly join a mercenary group to cleave her way to fame and fortune. However, being rejected from the Branwen tribe make her more determined. She did end up joining the Kuma Mercenary Clan despite not being a bear. Being a Worgen was pretty tough considering the variant was an endangered species due to the King Piccolo wars years ago and the Red Ribbon Army in recent years. However, Rubella Saviran wanted to buck up and make a name for herself. Thus, she had joined in the Kuma's destruction of the village that had the Broken Heart Bordello. Now, she was hunting the son of Magister being promised from the Kuma clan a hefty reward. Ace immediately used a Shadow Clone to make it appear like Jun and used a simple Kaiwarmi to swap the clone for the real Jun. While the clone led Rubella into the woods, Ace got to work.

(Amenbo Island)

Inque Clay was getting up as per her habit to get up early in the morning when she did not stay up late. Her daughter was still asleep and probably until noon. She rolled her eyes and got to her coffee when the phone rang.

"Clay residence, Inque." Inque said taking up the phone.

"Inque, good. I feared your daughter would pick it up." Ace said on the other end.

"Oh please, my daughter wouldn't get up this early." Inque said flustered.

"But never mind her, I have a job for you." Ace said to Inque's surprise. "I need you to protect a mother and son. Long story short, Kuma Clan killed their husband and burned their town down to the ground. Considering I'm wanting by the Kuma, I can't watch them."

"Ok, all that I get. But why are you helping?" Inque asked.

"I found the mother in my home when I returned for resting. I can't just kick the woman because I have standards." Ace said hotly. "Either way, how's 20 million flat sound?"

"Depends. How long I'm dealing with them?" Inque asked.

"Until I can either slaughter the entire clan or until they stop hunting her. Considering everything, those two needed a new place to start over. Ever heard of the Magister family?" Ace rambled.

"Yeah, rivals to the Schnee. I wouldn't be surprised if Jacques had something to do with this." Inque explained which got Ace to mentally note to call Weiss later. "But I'll take the job."

"I'll be sending them over to Amenbo Island on plane capsule. Any specific plane you want them to land?" Ace asked with a paper and pencil ready.

Inque gave him some coordinates before Ace bid thanks and goodbye before turning to Jun and Chiiza.

"You know how to fly a plane?" Ace asked.

Chiiza nodded and Ace continued, "Good, I just handled for someone to watch over you and your son while everything quiets down."

Ace spawned a few things for them to help making starting over a bit easier. The three were outside in front of a Capsule Plane. As Chiiza and Jun got in, Ace tossed her a green ringed capsule.

"This is your guardian, Inque Clay. Inside there is her pay. Good luck and follow these coordinates." Ace said giving Chiiza the coordinates.

[Cues: One Piece Soundtrack – Bad Guy]

"I'll never forget your kindness, Mr. Blackthorn. I'll pay you back someday." Chiiza said starting up the plane.

Ace waved them off as they took off into the air which meant Ace could deal with the assassin. Time spent with Inque, Inque had taught a bit of how to profile an assassin. Humorously, Ace was able to remember this due to her doing this while giving him oral. The clone led Rubella back out onto the road before dispelling and Ace got the memories.

Rubella was a light blue furred vulpine anthromorph that stood at five feet seven with pale white fur on her muzzle, upper torso, and hidden sides of her legs. She had a bushy tail that was long enough to near her feet. She had green eyes, red hair and eyebrows (which were dyed), a red mark and shadowing over her right eyes, and red freckles above her nose but under her eyes. Her hair was long only held together by a green band. She wore a skimpy, golden attire mainly consisting of a golden bra-like top and nothing but a small brown loincloth. The loincloth itself did little to hide the large muff of black pubic hair. Heck, she even had a smaller muff of underarm hair. She also wore jewelry consisting of three brown bands on her tail, golden braces on her shoulders, arms, and legs, and brown and golden sandals

"Ok, she can't be a Dragon Ball character…she looks what World of Warcraft would make if it has adult mods in it." Ace thought. "Questions for later."

Despite being armed with a bow and a sword, Rubella's appearance did not scare Ace. What Inque told was coming into use, and he realized that this one was a complete amateur or at least self-taught.

"If you're looking for the kid or the mother, they long gone thanks to my distraction." Ace said calmly. "I suggest you get the hell off my property or else."

Rubella looked this over only really seeing a child.

"Are you really one to talk threat?" Rubella said unsheathing her sword.

Ace unsheathed Rakurai and Rubella immediately recognized the sword despite its markings.

"Hey, that's Ritanko's blade that the clan brought up. You know, that blade is worth a lot. Maybe if you hand it over, I'll let you live." Rubella said with a grin.

Rubella neglected to realize the warning that all members of the clan got about the sword. Ace had a bounty with the Kuma Clan, but it was quickly rescinded after rumors of him being involved in the downfall of the Red Ribbon Army and Tao. However, a bounty was put on his sword instead in the hopes Ace would die or lose it. Of course, Rubella joined long after this and assumed he was just a kid found the sword.

"How about hell no?" Ace said sternly. "But if you insist on trying, you'll have to follow me!"

[Cues: Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure OST – Battle Tension]

Ace took off leaving an annoyed Rubella to follow. Ace settled for leading her away from the house. The area that they did end up was where familiar to Ace.

"Ok, if canon goes along, then here is where Goku's kids of the future will train." Ace thought as Rubella came up panting and annoying.

"I hope you enjoy your last run before I'm going to cut off your damn legs!" Rubella said glaring at him.

"You assume you'll be able to go that." Ace said readying himself. "Let's just do this."

[Cues: (Unofficial Theme of Ace) Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure OST – Mercenary Tao]

Ace rushed in coming to a clash with the rookie before they crossed swords repeatedly. Ace did not really struggle in this sword clash, but he surmised that to getting stronger. Ace wanted to end this rather quickly as she was not really too much for a fight. Ace kicked the sword out of her sword as clattered on the ground.

"I suggest you give up." Ace said seriously. "I can use this to its fullest."

"You just got lucky, punk!" Rubella snarl only for Ace to land a few glancing blows.

They were not to harm her instead to disarm and disrobe her. Rubella blushed heavily that her top broke apart and her loincloth fall to her feet. Rubella wanted to reach her emergency grenade only for Ace to show he was holding her belt of grenades was in his hand. Rubella promptly started to realize this one was more than he seemed.

"How dare you! Do you how much it took to make this?" Rubella snarled with her fangs bared.

"Not a much considering the material. Gold makes for shit armor, unless it's Minecraft." Ace snarked.

Rubella lunged with her claws out and Ace sheathed Rakurai. He tossed the grenades into the air, punched Rubella in the stomach to stop her in her track, backhanded her to spun her, and, using a bit more ki, smacked her rear hard enough to send her flying into a tree all before catch the belt of grenades. Rubella groaned in mild pain as Ace walked up to her.

[Music Ends]

"I was holding back, but I suppose you don't know who I am. From that band on your arm, I assume Kuma. Clearly, you don't know who I am." Ace said coolly.

"Should I?" Rubella groaned out.

"Yes, as I was the one to kill Ritanko for this sword. I assume the name "Ace Blackthorn" rings a bell among the Kumas." Ace said as Rubella's eyes went wide.

Ace was heavily talked about Kuma originally as a pest who needed to die, but now as someone feared. Rubella remembered that how they mentioned he had a hand in offing the Red Ribbon Army with him and one other person. While those were rumors, the fact that Ace was responsible for killing several generals was considered true. Rubella started to sweat realizing she tried to kill a child in front of him. It was mentioned that Ace was aloof, he was not merciful to those who harmed anyone he deemed innocent.

"Oh…crap." Rubella said as Ace had nothing but a glare for her. "Would you consider not killing me?"

SHING! Rakurai was at her neck.

"No wait, you don't have to kill me. I was going to bring them alive, I swear." Rubella said trying to save herself.

Of course, that was a blatant lie, but she did not want to die like this.

"I can tell that you're trying your own ass. You're only lucky that you're cute. However, I can think of a way you'll be able to walk away to live another day. Not like you have a choice anyway." Ace said looking over her body.

"Well, I can give you a good fuck and we can both walk away." Rubella said nervously.

She assumed that he would not last long.

"He is just a brat. A skilled brat, though." Rubella thought. "Probably a virgin."

Then, Ace tossed the tracksuit and shoes leaving Rubella to balk at the size while stammering.

"And if you're curious, I've have a lot of experience." Ace said smoothly.

Rubella found herself on her back on the grass looking up at Ace who was readying himself between her legs.

"Wait, can you please be gentle?" Rubella said as Ace rubbing his length over her entrance.

"Normally, I would start that way. But I'm not feeling merciful today." Ace said shoving his length into her snatch.

She had grip the grass due to the mixed feelings as Ace roughly thrusted into her. While she was a virgin, her active lifestyle ripped the physical barrier long ago.

"Are you sure you're not a dwarf?" Rubella asked only for Ace to gently hold her hair.

"No, I'm just a growing teen." Ace said as he kept up the pace.

Ace felt pleasured feeling that muff made thrusted a cushioning experience, and Rubella was slowly letting moans of pleasure. Rubella was enjoying the thrust of him, the heat he let off, and feeling alone sent shivers throughout her body.

"Just be lucky, this is morning wood after all. I'm close." Ace said as Rubella perked up.

"Not…inside, please." Rubella moaned out.

Ace pulled out as Rubella got up to a sitting position. Ace walked up close holding her hair to give her a face full of his girth.

"Well then, I might as well give you a protein shake." Ace said mischievously.

Rubella took it inside her mouth and worked her tongue while he held her hair. His balls smacked against her chin as Ace let her move herself. Her own fingers moved between her legs to pleasure herself. Ace was ready and made sure she swallowed. When Ace did pull out of her mouth, a bit of spunk splattered on her face, a bit of mess of sweat, his seed, and a few pubes. Of course, at that moment, she came to orgasm.

It would a few moments later when they cleaned up and Ace was dressed again. Rubella was still naked save for her sandals.

"I suggest you quit the Kumas. I was planning to make sure they're promptly slaughtered like the Red Ribbon." Ace said earnestly.

Rubella immediately tossed the band with Kuma symbol on it not wanting to see if that rumor of Ace slaying an army on his own was true.

"Well, if this helps and keeps me alive, their base of operations is on an island known as the Thieves Den, in a city known as Roanapour." Rubella said hoping to stay alive.

"Roanapour? Well that arguably makes senses." Ace thought. "Timeline fits in context."

"Thanks for the information. I'm out, and don't come back to this area." Ace said readying to help.

"Wait, can't you get me some clothes, at least?" Rubella asked with a blush.

Ace's response was smacking her rear getting her to yelp.

"No, my mercy was letting you live. You're on your own for that." Ace said leaving her behind.

Rubella sighed glad at least she had her life and that it was not raining. Drip!

"Son of a…" Rubella said thunder rumbled. "BITCH!"

Rubella started running to try and futilely dodge rain.

(A/N: This chapter had a special guest, the OC Rubella the Worgen from Ruby_Saviran. I grew rather fond of the character design and seeing he had a contest on furaffinity for the ENF girl, I'd figured I would make an entry. Don't worry, the next chapter continues right after this. I merely cut it for even length.)
