Chapter 28- Revival- The Search
Toshinori Yagi sat looking at the little glass ornament in his hands, as he twirled it around, it was a snow flake and looked like it was made of glass, it didn't feel like it though, he was in the U.A faculty lounge with a cup of tea on the coffee table as he thought back to him receiving the idol. He sighed as he remembered his mentor, she stated she had not used it and neither did the others before her, she simply stated that the time had not yet shown itself. But when she gave him one for all she also gave him the thing she called an idol, she said that it would summon a being of great strength that would grant him whatever he asked for, which could be anything. It had been gifted to the first who helped the strange being who called himself a god, after being helped the god claimed to 'owe him something' so seeing as he had nothing to ask off he simply wanted an IOU in the future that item that IOU had fallen to Toshinori. He thought about Young Midoriya and would feel more at ease giving it to him rather than calling upon it now, he was now out of juice and it was left to the young man, he was getting better but only steadily.
He placed his head in his hand as he felt absolutely useless, he was not equipped to neither teach nor train the person to succeed him, anyone could tell he wasn't the best at teaching the youth of this school, however here he was. He could call upon the god now and ask them to be rid of the one in possession of one for all, even though he was in jail he knew he would get out and that would leave Izuku to deal with him. That made a terrible pit in the bottom of his stomach open up, he sighed as he also thought of being able to ask the god to detain the ones who are part of the association of villains. Bit Toshinori remembered what his mentor told him, 'use this especially if someone you love dies, someone you cannot live without,' he had to admit he was not a family man kind of guy and Izuku was the closes thing to a son he had and looked what situation he had put him in. No Toshinori would much prefer giving Izuku the ability to call upon a god to help him if his life or another's depended on it, but it turns out fate had a different plan as the idol slipped from his hand and smashed on the ground between his feet.
He paused looking down in absolute horror as blood spurted from his mouth as he stood up saying no over and over again as a multi colored square door opened making an elevator Bing sound, and he just knew this was the portal the god was to step out off, he was screwed, or maybe not. Toshinori was surprised to see a woman, who wore all black airy clothes, with a white coat over top, a basic string shoes much like samurai's wore along with a gold 'CROWN' she also had gold eyes and purple markings and pointed ears with long white tresses down her back. He had seen many people with many different looks because of their quirks but this one was an entirely different species and it showed in her eyes and person but also as if he could feel it in the air. "You called upon me mortal, state what it is you want," her voice was authoritive and smooth but also pleasant as if she could sing one to sleep, he looked at her in a gawking matter thinking over what he should say.
-Ren's POV-
"Ahh" was the only response she got from a sagely looking human man with blood spilling from his mouth, he also had an arm in a sling, he was weak, on deaths door. "Do you wish for me to heal you?" I asked wondering if he was just shocked at seeing her appear from a magical elevator in the middle of the room, "ah no, no, no, not at all, uh you see…" I took a seat as the man continued on about his story of events from his quirk which I had gotten all the information on by my crown and also learned the name of the planet was Quirk too, and InuTashio had been the one to gift the idol, 'strange'. I nodded "so pretty much you accidentally called upon me, but now I am here you are not sure whether or not to ask something from me or leave it to your successor?" he nodded "yeah that just about sums it up," I sighed I had only left Asguard and already this was my third world and yet hearing this one man talk my ear off felt like a century already, however I had to admit he had a heart of gold, he was good and true to himself and those around him. "Well I am very busy and on a time crunch, however the breaking of an idol is non-refundable so I am sorry to tell you but you must decide what it is you want or need," "like right now?!" he panicked and begun mumbling, he was thinking so hard that he didn't notice the door open and a young man with black and green tinted curly hair enter "ah All Might is this a bad time?" I smiled to the kid, guessing this was his successor, I could tell he had a power but I also noticed he was not strong enough to use it all yet. I looked to the older male who jumped "ah no young Midoriya I was just catching up with a…old friend? Yeah an old friend," I smiled back to the boy, "so I hear you're his pride and joy, let me get a look at you." I walked over to him and picked up his hand noting the scars and other breaks he had, I gave him a look from under my eyebrows that he was sheepish about, "I see, you're the reckless type, caring but reckless."
"ah you see, he just keeps pushing himself and its cause he cares so much," the man called All Might, tried to explain as if I was going to get up him for it, but honestly I didn't care, I was just thinking of things I could offer them so they would agree and then let me leave to finish my search, I was hoping to be done before Luna woke up, carting her around could be exhausting as she was so enthusiastic and hyper. "It's fine, at least he learned a lesson, but this is your last chance seeing he is here, I suggest you tell him what's going on and come to a decision." I dissipated into the air as the boy fangirled over my ability, not knowing I was still there, I moved about going through the school and learning the layout and dynamic of it all, the students their 'powers' and gossip. Quirk the planet had given the humans off this world Quirks, the planet thought about lessoning their numbers with natural disasters or a disease however he guessed an evolutionary 'upgrade' would make them fight and kill each other out, but it was wrong to a degree. I made it back to the room which was where the teachers resided during free time, I got back to the tail end of the discussion, the boy seemed smart and he was thinking over things to ask me.
I reappeared on the couch next to Toshinori, "whoa, have you been there the whole time?" "No I went for a stroll and then returned," "how do you do that?" I sighed "I was born with it, now have yous came to a decision, this is tiresome you know, I hate being in one place for a long period of time, unless I enjoy something the planet can offer that no other can." That seemed to make them perk up a little, they begun to rattle of places, items, food, people, animals but honestly they had the same stuff the living world in my realm did but the humans had one special ability, that was it. "No I can get all those things from my realm, now please answer my earlier question," the boy spoke up a little on edge at my outburst, "um first off what is your name?" I then realized I had not introduced myself, I guessed I was hoping they would ask what they want and I would not be here as long as I was already. "I am Ren," "that's it?!" I frowned at the boy who instantly looked apologetic "ah I just mean I thought a god would have a much more significant name?" he tested the word significant as if he wasn't sure he was still pissing me off, "Serenity InuTashio…" "THAT"S IT! That's the name of the one who gave the first one the idol," I rolled my eyes but was a little intrigued that my grandfather had not taken back the idol when he all but buried the family business, I wondered how many others had smashed their idols in a desperate attempt and situation begging for the god to come forth. I felt terrible thinking that my ancestor had not stuck to his word so I sighed "well he was my father's father but now instead yous get me to fulfill your request." Instantly they looked like they were sweating again, "oh my god, fine how about yous simply smash one when yous are ready," I made another one which was a strange wing symbol and I passed it to Toshinori, "I aint waiting around and yous are not going to ask, so I might as well give yous another and be on my way, man talk about annoying."
"I thought you said it was non-refundable?" I stood up shrugged and turned away opening a door; "I won't be replacing it a second time, so don't be a butter fingers." I stepped inside and was off back out to space as on my search for the elusive little brother that caused all these chains of events to happen, now that I thought about it if he hadn't gone missing I might not have met my mate, or learned so quickly and progressed in leaps and bounds. I had a feeling that the four hours I had spent since leaving Asguard was only the beginning, it was so annoying to think that I was far from done.
I sat still for a good while just listening and feeling off in the distance, I used my medo stone or now crown to search all the surrounding universes, there was many but most uninhabited or unimportant going along with their evolution. I went to the next spot that had many planets and activity around me, I felt many things, some of these were significantly strong or those with power but still no Usamaro I continued on my way, it was then I felt something similar to the Boost law, it was a world filled with mortals and monsters all with potential power, but one in particular was above the rest of them. I noticed his power being used but only minimally, I chose to spend my time sitting out here to investigate, even though I felt no annoying little bro, I would keep my eyes and ears here near the moon.
I sat in the middle of space once more, it was quite and cold and lightless, I woke when a comment hit me and splinted off causing me to tumble until I righted myself, I paused my panicking when I realized what happened I calmed down and laughed at myself releasing my defenses and falling asleep, it was very calming sleeping in outer space. I could hear and feel Kagura shaking her head at me about this however she was smiling, I went into my inner world "hey stranger, I'm surprised you didn't get up me for that," Kagura chuckled "seriously I thought about it but you already knew, besides it was funny to see a piece of space rock smack you around," we both calmed down as we sat with our tea and felt the breeze pass by and our inner world echo with beautiful creatures that live within it and on the floating islands with waterfalls where sky and land meet. "So what are you gonna do to the little shit when you finally find him?" I smirked knowing what she would do, however I thought about what 'normal' siblings do to each other growing up and considering he did not know me, I guessed something severe would make him think I am not family and go on the defensive; it also depended on the circumstances. Like if he was living the dream and having the life everyone wants then he is gonna have a severe punishment, however if he's dead…well then I think he was punished enough but if he was sealed or something similar then I guess I can give him a Indian burn, or wet willy maybe a knuckle head sandwich.
Kagura nodded hearing all of my thoughts "oh a lead, you should wake up now," I opened my eyes to see a man with a yellow one suite, white buttoned on cape, red boots and gloves and a bald head. He was holding his breathe, as he had impacted the moon, he picked up a rock and caught it a few times testing the gravity like he had to measure it to determine something. I then noticed that he was the one who I had been feeling earlier, he looked to the side and noticed me sitting there just floating in outer space, I waved to him, he looked surprised and numbly waved back, but then turned his attention back to his planet, as he pushed off of the moon giving it a new crater as he rocket back to the surface. I was intrigued just until something turned up, I appeared on what looked like spaceship, there was a mush that was once a living being, and the same bald guy I had seen on the moon. There was an entire destroyed city and many people as the ship shifted and went to fall to what was left of the city below, I could see those who were alive trying to outrun it and others going into a safe house, I could feel all those dead people most likely from what had happened in this world. There was also aliens abandoning ship as it gave way to physics and fell out of the sky, I guessed that I could do something useful here; I held the ship in the sky for longer, preventing more devastation. The bald man turned to me, "hi, who are you exactly?" he had a bland voice and he didn't seem interested in the slightest, "hi, I'm Ren; I see yous might need some help here."
"Ah-ha, well um I don't speak on everyone's behalf but you can help if you want," I smiled to him "you should, considering how strong you are, but yes I do want to help," I opened up the four gates and spoke up in a loud echoing voice "I invoke Resurrection!" The bald man looked on surprised as the city fixed itself and people were brought back to life, the aliens were brought back too. I watched the man notice that the alien he just killed was laying on the top of his ship alive once more, "what happened" I also noticed that the ship begun to hold itself up in the air once more. I guessed it was linked to his life, it made sense to do that to the person who was the strongest on the ship, I had all the disembarked aliens lifted with my wind ability and placed on the roof once more. "Ah, everything re-winded?" the bald man looked confused and turned to me and pointed as the alien gawked at my person, "I don't believe it….an original," "huh?"
"Wow I haven't heard anyone call us one of those, but I remember that we were sometimes referred to that many years ago, tell me who are you?" "I am Lord Boros, I descended from an original named InuLaparus I have lived a very long time, and I never thought I would see another original tell me what your name is?" "Serenity, I am the 21st traveler, well Boros I would like you and your men to leave, we can't have you dying now can we?" he seemed unhappy to hear that, I looked to him as he took in the bald man "Saitama thank you for the battle, however if I feel this way, I wonder what it is like for you?" I looked back and forth between the two, "explain," I commanded, Boros spoke leaving the so called Saitama quite. "I see, so a prophesy huh, well I am no seer but there is one in motion here, Boros you have come too early as the one fated to be your challenger is not yet ready, when he is then you can have that fight you want until then you can leave, his name is Garou by the way." When I spoke I noticed Saitama perk up a little "I've heard that name somewhere," he mumbled but then shrugged his shoulders, "I suggest you leave now Lord Boros, I will deal with the issues you have caused…" "Why?" I turned my back to him "because we share blood, nothing more and nothing less…oh wait hold on, before yous disembark," I walked right up to his hulking 7 foot 10 person all clad back in gold armor and pulled out a image, "my little brother went missing and we are trying to locate him, can you notify me if you come upon him?" In my other hand formed a glass looking ball much like a medo stone and I passed it to him, "smash it and one of the families will arrive, mostly me or Luna."
"Very well," I noted the medo stone in his chest armor and the ship running off the same energy, it seemed these stones were more present where he was originally from, "I will meet up with you again as soon as I am done here, I wish to speak to you more Lord Boros, until then," I waved as I jumped off of the edge of the ship and landed on the top of a building with Saitama landing next to me as well. People were looking around confused and touching their bodies 'I swear I died' 'I know me too' another person spoke up 'yeah I lived but the entire city was done for, that ship did it,' 'then how are we here?' I sighed as I watched Saitama walk off to a large black building and I saw the same colorful people who seemed to take care of this world also by it; there were a few others in suites and directing people and what not. I followed Saitama as I saw a man who looked like a robot run up to him "master what is going on, all of a sudden everything was as it was before, was it the aliens?" "Uh no, I beat them but then this chick did that, the aliens are leaving they came for a specific person but they need more time." "You S class phonies call yourselves heroes, did you see the state of the city before I arrived, yous should be ashamed of yourselves!" a pretty boy spoke up as another teen with a bat yelled at him insulting him, "hey you, yeah you are you one of those aliens!" it was a little girl with green hair.
"Oh I guess I am an alien, but I was not with them," Saitama spoke up "yeah she fixed everything" the kid spoke once more with her annoying shrill voice "and we're just gonna let them get away with that," "yes, it was a miss understanding and no harm done, your welcome by the way." I heard mechanical jets much like the Javelins from that other world I helped out and I saw a massive case fall and a mecha man step out "what happened to the ship?" it had already ascended and left but I knew it was out in space not too far away, "it left, they apologies and say thanks for the battle and they will be back to challenge the next strongest person to rear their head." Many looked shocked at that, "is this meeting adjourned or should we continued inside, I didn't finish my tea," I smiled at the bald man, he was something else, I wonder if Luna had seen him in her vision about the Boost Law.
"How did you do that?" a dark near naked muscled man asked me, "I simply wished to put it back to the way it once was, now seeing as I helped yous out immensely I was hoping I would get a favor back from yous." It was then that 'important' looking men arrived in suites "what is going on here?" A man with a sword and a fully armored man who kept looking at his arm in astonishment spoke up "we should return to the meeting, we should all be informed at once what actually happened here today."
The room was mainly filled with a large table that had information on it, there was also many chairs and large screens and computers all around with a low ceiling and florescent lights, all seemed to have assigned seats as they took them, the metal bot moved his and offered it to me as he stood in his assigned place. "oh thank you, such a gentle man," I sat at the other end next to Saitama, who I was the most accustomed too, I wasn't sure if it was because he was a Law user but he was also not blown away by me or looked at me with distrust. The annoying one who got up the 'S-class heroes' stuck with the group and had sat in the only other spare seat in the room, which seemed to annoy a few of them. "Very well now, can we please get a full recount of the events so far we have nothing wrong anymore, even people once dead are now back alive," Saitama pointed to me "it was her." He said it like he was blaming me for stealing the cookies from the jar, I smacked it away, "you don't have to say it like that!" I complained he shrugged "well it was you," the others spoke up "you don't look human," it was the guy who I could smell cigarette and death from, I spoke "cause I'm not, I saw Saitama here and I investigated and helped out."
"investigated from where exactly?" it was a little boy with a lollipop, "outer space, I was having a nice nap but a commit hit me and I woke up, I then noticed this world and next second I saw Saitama landing on the moon, I waved to him before he leaped back to your planet," "this chic is not making a lick of sense," the guy with a bat spoke and continued "can I leave now my sister already finished her piano recital and got second place, so I need to treat her." The man in a suit spoke up "please be patient Metal Bat, now mam who are you?" "I'm a traveler named Serenity InuTashio, from the demon clan named InuTashio but yous can call me Ren, as I said I came and helped I chose to because I have a favor to ask of yous, you see I travel like those aliens do in space however I do not need a ship, I balance existence that is my job you see, I am here because my youngest brother has gone missing and I am trying to find him." I pulled out the image and laid it on the table which brought up his image as a hologram "his name is Usamaro and he is only 80 years old, he can be dangerous he just doesn't do it out of bad intentions," "do what exactly?" the old man with grey hair asked "eat memories or time," many looked taken aback, "he is a demon, remember so he has certain abilities to say the least." The pretty boy stood up "I think we should just kill her and be done with it, no more demons," "you could try, but you won't be able to get close" I said, the man seemed to take the challenge but I put all of my spirit energy on his shoulders which forced him to sit. "So you are all bark and no bite," one guy asked as I smirked and the forced man in his seat looked at me accusingly, Saitama looked to me as well "are you doing that?" this seemed to surprise a few at the table as they now could see the strain the man was under.
"Enough of this! So you want us to contact you if the boy is found?" I released my energy on the man which made him gasp and slump over sweating "yes, here" I formed an idol in my hand and passed it over to them which they plucked out of the air as it floated to them, "smash it and I will come," I was about to get up and leave as Saitama spoke up "hey wait you said you were related to that Boros guy who attack us…" Saitama was cut off at the outraged exclaims at the tale "WHAT!" "So she is with them!" I frowned at the situation "QUIET!" they all shut up at my command and then I glared at them all "it is true, but I only knew once I met him like 30 minutes ago, he is a very distant relative of mine, and yes I brought him back to life like I did with all the humans in this city, if yous are ungrateful I can simply put it back to the way it once was," that seemed to shut them up. I could feel Kagura smirking and saying 'good girl' in my inner mind, "now scratched your back now do this for me and we are even, yous can chose to break it if you need another favor but know you will owe me another anything that we agree is of equal exchange, alright?" I said the words with a warning letting them now I was not so giving. The old man spoke up "well how about we offer you something else instead of this search and rescue, I am certain someone of your caliber would be able to see your little brother is not here," I smiled at the old man knowing what he was doing, but then Saitama turned to me "yeah and I want to fight you too," Genos the cyborg man spoke up "master you can't think she is strong enough to take you on," the bald man nodded his head, as I looked down at him.
I sighed and plopped back down in the chair, finally looking my age for once "I guess we can, but I will not kill you, you are far too valuable for that, as for the favor your right…hmm, but what else to ask?" Saitama spoke up "why not ask that Boros can come back and challenge his real opponent Goran, Gorla, Grose no that's not right," I smiled at him "you mean Garou," the old man spoke up once more "you mean my old student?" I looked to the old man, "there was a prophecy given to Boros by a great seer who said he would find a worthy opponent on this planet to face, you see Boros is so strong that he had no one who he could let loose and enjoy a fight with, much like Saitama here," I was interrupted by a man saying "but he's just a B class," I shook my head "you mortals and stupid ranking system, no Saitama is very much the strongest in the room, maybe stronger than me, we will have to see," I gave him a smile which seemed to make him look like a kid on Christmas day.
"Are you serious, look at him he isn't even stronger than me!" the green haired girl spoke up, I shook my head at her "your annoying, shut up," a few tried to hold in their laughter and I noticed her shine up in a green color, "you wanna say that again grandma," my eyes sharpened along with my teeth as I saw the challenge from the young little imp. I stood with my hands on the table, as I noticed them glowing and the other people especially the big black man stating "Tornado calm down or she'll kill you," "yes please, calm down ladies, so Serenity is there something else we can offer you?" I paused and stood up more in thought and I asked "so I am just here because I am curious can I get a tour?" The man that reminded me a lot of the head captain spoke up "a tour?" he looked baffled but the old man spoke up "oh yes, you can come by my dojo and I will show you my fighting technique along with a nice dinner of crock pot and then we can go from city to city, what do you say?" I smiled "huh, you seem to one of the only people in this room with manners so I will accept your offered repayment, however you Saitama will owe me for your fight, can you do an IOU for me when I ask for it?" He shrugged his shoulders "sure" I noticed many others stand up and complain "ah man so your telling me we sat here for nothing, what a waste," it was the delinquent looking young man, I tilted my head at him as I watched him leave however I could tell he was brimming with excitement and his resting bitch face was all for show. The pretty boy complained to the higher up 'suits' stating that they should deal with her and get rid of her, however they stated she was not a foe and only would be if they attacked her.
The world was happy and well balanced when I arrived, it had a monster and human balance to keep numbers down on all of the populace and the cities were all named after a letter of the alphabet. I followed them as we all entered the black car which drove them to their destination, the place I looked up too was a place on top of a mountain with steps built into it, it was very high up as well and looked like a trial just to get one to prove their worth on joining this man's dojo. He introduced himself in the car as the third hero of S class named Silver fang but his name was Bang and I was to call him that, the others walked up without issue as I noticed Saitama and Genos also followed by I looked at them in question "he said there was crock pot," Saitama pointed and I looked back to Bang "the more the merrier."
I watched his stance and movements, it was balanced and intuitive, strong and soft, he took his stance as an old man once more, but I knew it was more for show, "so what do you think?" I nodded "it is a unique technique I see why many come to learn it, it has many uses and is strong however I will not be learning it today or ever, it is yours and is of your legacy, you're fighting style is pointless for one such as myself." An orange headed boy sitting of to the side got offended and was about to complain only for his master to hold up his hand, "no, she is right, I thank you Lady…" "Just Ren is fine, so even though I know everything about this world, can we still go out maybe eat and explore and shop?" Genos spoke up "how do you know everything about our planet?" I looked to him liking his way of being straight forward "I have this crown it allows me to travel anywhere I want, but it also naturally collects the information of any place I visit. As a traveler, balancer or 'original' so Boros called me, I am to maintain the natural order of life and death in all existences, so I travel between universes and planets and I do my job, however right now my main priority is to find my little brother."
I noticed that Saitama was a little restless, "I will fight you after I have been shown around the place, also find a suitable place that can be destroyed in our fight," this seemed to bring him back to the room, as he was back to being happy, "that's easy a large portion of City Z is uninhabited we can fight there," I nodded as he was already far ahead of me.
Dinner was loud and delicious, I learned that Bang had a disciple who was the best that being Garou and I explained to him the prophecy that he was to fight Boros but also I heard about the prophecy the old lady on this planet gave before kicking the bucket, I had a feeling that the two were one in the same.
I noticed Genos and Saitama get up and ready to leave, "well we will leave yous for the night, I will grab you tomorrow night, c ya" I waved as the two of them left, he was a very aloof man, I looked to Bang "I will be leaving and will meet you back here tomorrow for our new exciting day out," "where will you be Ren?" I pointed up to the sky "I want to talk more to Boros for now, he is an interesting person, and I had no idea that InuLaparus had offspring elsewhere, but other business to discuss with him." The old man nodded his head "I understand, well good night Ren I'll see you in the morning," I opened and closed the large sliding door and stepped out looking up and I instantly could feel Boros, he was a strong individual especially for one with only a little bit of our blood in his person.
I used my medo stone to jump straight inside his throne room, as I saw him sitting in it chair, he opened his one eye "ah so you did come back," I nodded "I said I wanted to talk to you more, so here I am," "yes and what is it you wish to discuss?"
"So how many generations between you and InuLaparus?" I asked as I stood in front of him, he got up and walked over making a motion with his hand which I interpreted as a follow me sign, of to the side was a door that we entered it looked like a full living area with a bedroom and kitchen. He sat on the lounge as it seemed like a heavy duty one to take his weight; I had to still tilt my head slightly just to keep eye contact while he was sitting as he was just that tall. "So is this an interrogation to see if I am worthy of the blood that flows through my veins," I could tell he was not happy, even though earlier that day he seemed in awe and to naturally lower his head to me as he should but I knew he was pissed at me fixing what he had done, I guessed he was also upset at me bringing him back from death, I knew some looked at that as an insult. "I was just surprised a have a very distant relative, InuLaparus never stated he had young elsewhere, is all," "ah so that is it, well InuLaparus was my grandfather, you see I never got to meet him, as I was born long after he already died." I nodded my head in understanding "so you must also be older than you seem, our blood allows us to live long lives but also to be as powerful as you are, but what about your other inheritance what that is?"
"Cyclops, we are tall from 8-10 feet tall, I am considered small, our hair is spiky and vibrant colors, with dark blue skin and markings all over our bodies, I am considered a higher being it shows through with the color dilution from the blood I received from my father's father." I nodded getting a good idea of what a cyclops would look like, to me he still looked like a full cyclops but his power and I noticed his armor which incased his body and sealed much of his potential away, I understood what it was like, my current soul reaper powers were still sealed but my demon powers were fully there until I got my armor back from Loki. "you stay sealed as you are too strong, many of the originals did not have that problem like us half-breeds," this seemed to surprise him "you're not a full blooded original," I shook my head "my mother is a soul reaper or better yet known as a god of death, my father is a full blooded demon, there were no other demons left, we are a dwindling race." I spent the night telling Boros of my family and circumstances, he talked about all that he knew of the originals and how they worked and the stories his people and his own parents told him, his father looked more like I did. "That reminds me Boros, that orb in your armor, do you know what it is?" he looked down to it, my father said it was my grandfather's and it was meant to be used to keep me sealed," I looked disappointed, it seemed not only my family kept secrets but his too, "well that isn't wrong, as a half breed you must have noticed you being affected by the moon," he nodded "well it does help with that but also it is a medo stone just like my crown it holds a power that can open portals and travel from one place to another, however that is your grandfather's and I am guessing your family has used it to keep both you and your fathers moon effects at bay. But you can get one of your own, if you find one that is, the same with the engine for this ship, it too is a medo stone." He seemed enlightened "well if that is the case my home world is full of them, we never have to go elsewhere for batteries that what we think of them as," I nodded than mumbled "I wonder if that was the original reason why InuLaparus went to your world and then met your grandmother."
"May I do something…that you may think I am strange for," he was hesitant, "what is it exactly," "I want to transfer data, navigation from yours to mine and mine to yours, that is one other thing the stones can do naturally," he nodded I took of my crown and tapped it against the red one set in his armor. It made a loud dinging noise like a bell as he looked at me; it was unnerving being this close to him, I could feel his eyes roaming over me as he took in each detail about me; I took a step back once done and sat back down, "you seal something else?" I looked at him surprised and then smiled "the fact that you can see that is very impressive Boros," I released the wind barrier that kept my tails and weapons along with my bag out of sight from all, I saw him look at my tail in awe, "my grandfather and father had ones just like that, I looked to my tail "the physical representation of our tails are called Moko, Moko and can be detached when needed, it also symbolizes our race but also our power, the bigger the stronger." I could see his fingers twitch as if he wished to touch it, "is your parents still alive" I took his thoughts away from my appendages "ah at last no, when my mother passed my father chose to force his own passing and went with her to the Liporium, I frowned at his word so he explained "it is a world much like heaven I think human's call it." I made an "ahh" sound and nodded "oh yes 'heaven'" I chuckled "aint all that it's cracked up to be, so how old are you?" "I am 250 give or take a few years, being in space all the time makes one lose their count easily," I nodded my head in understanding, as I realized not even 24 hours had passed yet from when I left Loki's home world.
"How old are you," I could see he wanted to ask me the same questions as I asked him "well both of my parents are alive still, my mother though has taken a turn for the worse, she suffers from the loss of the youngest, she had a strong bond with him, but I am…" I sat in intense concentration, "huh, let me see" I tried to count the years I spent with Malphas in the 9 realms, and even my children were older than Boros sitting in front of me, "I am close to 3000 years old, my children are 2400 and my mate 7000 give or take a decade or century," this seemed to surprise him, you have children and a partner, your parents must be old," I shook my head, "I spent time in a realm where time there was lived in longer periods compared to the time of the world my parents currently reside in." "I see, so you are older than your own parents, that is interesting and different, does it upset you," I shook my head "no, my parents are not upset either, we live very long lives so no harm done, besides my mate should technically be taking over as the clan leader but he already helps lead the 9 realms so he cannot do both, something about too much responsibility." I was sure that if Boros had an eyebrow it would be raised at my words, "I actually also wanted to see if you wanted to also meet my family, regardless of how distantly related we are you are still family, so…?" He leaned over and put his hand on his chin in thought "I do need to complete the prophecy that will not take long, and isn't your sibling missing?" I nodded "yeah that little shit is in so much trouble when I get my hands on him, but you can always go home, oh and Luna would love to meet you too," he nodded "I suppose learning you have more family was not something I thought would happen to me because I came from originals, do they do that regularly; have half-blooded children?" I thought about it, "well mainly the men, women are unable to have another's child after mating but the males can still get a female pregnant, I have read of it happening but I know for a fact all of the family blood lines regardless if they are half breed is meant to be recorded, you are not, so I guess there can be many other distant relatives out there, it will make it more difficult for me to find Usamaro if that is the case."
I could see out the large windows and noticed the moon capping the sun and knew day was coming quickly, "well I guess I better get on with my tour for the day, Luna is gonna be so envious I got to go shopping," Boros shook his head at my words, "well I won't keep you any longer," "oh before I forget, here," I went over to his seated person, "if you need to see the navigation that your stone holds then do this and think this, you should be able to feel its individual power and pull on it to do as you need it." He watched as I tapped it with my fingers and it showed up a navigation in front of him like a holographic image, "this is our home," he seemed surprised to see a realm with mayor co-joined worlds but they were also a long ways away from each other. "I will practice, once done I will set a course to meet the rest of the family," I could see in his eye that it was strange and sad for him to say that, I smiled to him "maybe you can show me your home too, he looked weary, "don't worry I won't destroy it or anyone else," he nodded "alright then, till we meet again."
I stood waiting for the old timer, I knew my day was a big busy one, "are you ready" I asked finally feeling like one of my own children once more, excited like we were going on a school trip to Disney land, yeah I think that was what humans visited for fun. "I am, just remember I am an old man," I gave him a dead pan look, "who can kill with one hit, now get a move on grandpa," he smiled "oh the youth these days," I heard him say that, "you know I'm older than you," "hmm is that so?" I nodded "yup 3000 years old to be exact," I chose to round up and cap it there till I got older, he paused "how do you keep your skin so vibrant?" I laughed at his words, he was a happy old man and I loved his reminiscent humor. I did slow down and walk by his side, he actually offered me his arm as I took it and looked around at the city streets, "you seem very happy, was that from your talk with the alien named Boros who you are related too?" I smiled again thinking back to it, for an alien he felt very familiar even his smell told me he was family, he was smart and strong not to mention calm and easy to speak to, I actually really enjoyed conversing with him; he made me happy to know we were related. "I did, he is fun and interesting to converse with, I see much of myself in him but I suppose I could say that about most of my family members," "I see, so you like him," "not like that old man, I am already taken."
18 bags later, five different café's, food stands and shops later and we finally stopped by a boutique child's clothing shop, I knew Sora and Luna would love it, seeing they were so petite and short they both could still go shopping in stores like this. "This is for children Ren," I know, I have a daughter and Luna my little sister would love these clothes," most were dresses but still. I noticed the old man look at me with new eyes, "you have children," I nodded "my son Seth and my daughter Sora, I hope for more I always wanted a very large family my sister is younger than my daughter but they are the same size and height." When we got inside I saw the same delinquent that I was sure was called Metal Bat from the meeting, he was sitting in a waiting chair as a little girl who looked similar to him stepped out to show him, he smiled "oh this is very pretty, I think your teddies will agree," I smiled as I listened in, and Bang said "ah Metal Bat out with his sister, didn't think I would see anyone else here of all places but then again we are all strange in our own ways." I let go of the old man's arm and walked over to a larger girls rack for those brimming on to teen age sizes, I slid them side to side looking at their designs and materials, I knew Sora had a love for Blue and yellow, it really did match her skin tone, I also loved seeing her in white, but I wanted to see her in something else too. "hmm" I pulled ten off of the racks and to the counter, part of the deal was Bang or the HA was to pay for everything I got for the day, I looked over to see the old man talking to Metal Bat.
I approached the two, it seemed the younger one held great respect for Bang as did most that interacted with him, "come on Bad, one more dress," I looked down to the little girl who already held what looked like three of them, the other two noticed my approach as the young man frowned at me but he looked me up and down too. "Ah yes Ren have you chosen a dress for your family members," I nodded as I heard the little girl gasp, "oh you're so pretty…but you should wear something more beautiful especially if you have a crown, are you a Queen?" I laughed as did Bang and I knelt down, "I am no Queen I am closer to a goddess, but I thank you for your thoughts, I do own the most beautiful white and gold dress but sadly I had to leave it behind…" she looked like a light bulb went off above her head "I know, you can buy a pretty dress and come to my tea party this afternoon, what do you say?" Metal Bat looked surprised as I smiled "oh wow I am honored by your invitation young lady, what time does this tea party finishes, and I do have another engagement to make at 6pm."
Bang smiled and nodded to Bad as the young man gave the older man a strange look in question; Bang whispered to Bad not realizing I could hear him just fine, "she has children of her own and a little sister, she is actually a very nice person." "Oh it will be finished by then, so will you come?" I smiled "well then of course, but where are my manners; I am Ren and you are?" the girl spoke up "I am Zenko and this is my older brother Bad, it's nice to meet you, do you need help picking out a dress for tonight?" I smiled to her "it is nice to meet yous both too, I think I would like to surprise you, so you think I should wear something fitting for a goddess or Queen," she put her finger to her lip and said "hmm I think a queen's outfit would be appropriate for a tea party, its indoors by the way." I smiled to her "alright then I will see you…" Bad spoke up "at 2pm at 154/A Cherry Street," I nodded to him, "I'll see you both then."
We had to do more shopping after that, "that girl is lively, she also looks suborn and I am guessing that is one of the reasons her older brother is wrapped around her finger," Bang nodded "you see it is only her and Bad, they lost their parents in a monster attack, Bang ended up picking up a bat one day and never stopped he is now an S class hero, it is good too, because he earns enough for the both of them, even though he is still doing school to pass, god knows why but I suppose if he ever can't be a hero he can fall back on something else." I nodded "he is a good big brother, I feel and smell it, his whole world is her, it's very sweet, I remember Luna was once like that to me, I took care of her and we worked close together but then I met my mate and had children and I changed and things didn't feel the same."
I got a dress that was fit for a Queen to go to a tea party and could have a crown worn with it, it was a ball gown with cream and whites but the upper part was a sweet-heart neckline with shoulder cuffs and all made from gold with hand stitched flowers that flowed over onto the ball gown lower half and skirt. I put my hair up in an intricate design, of course with Kagura manipulating the wind to make the hairdo up for me. "Thanks Kagura," I then placed my crown over it and it sat just right, I also had thin lace gold gloves and a small heal gold shoes. HA sent me a car and I went with Bang by my side he was dressed in a traditional olden styled tuxedo that was stripped in design and brown, he had a cane and old hat, "oh wow you really clean up nicely," even though I was invited I knew no one wanted me 'unsupervised' during my stay and I liked the old timers company.
The apartment was lovely and large we entered a room with a small table and mini seats with other teddies sitting around the table as well as a dressed up Bad who looked like he was used to this. Zenko was wearing a pink and white flower dress and hair band, "oh wow you look beautiful Ren," "as do you Zenko," I was surprised to see real tea and sugar set out and cupcakes and biscuits on the table, "oh Silver Fang, I am surprised to see you and you look nice and cleaned up, not your usual attire; that's good." I smiled as I heard her honesty, I knew children could be brutal but she was totally hilarious, we took our seats and while there Zenko shot question after question as Bang and Bad conversed however no swearing or ill manners was acceptable at the table.
With much of my life digested by the little girl, we finally got up and said our farewells, "I hope we can have tea again sometime," I smiled "yes I really enjoyed myself thank you both for having us over today," "yes indeed the company was fantastic," Bang offered "and those cupcakes," I added, Zenko smiled "that was Bad who made those," I smiled to him "Thank you Bad, well we must be off we have other matters to attend too," we waved goodbye to the siblings and headed off. "I managed to change in time as Saitama came bursting into the dojo excited "it is time, you will face me," I looked at him wondering why he didn't use my name "you forgot my name didn't you," I noticed he did not remember details and names well, "I ah…" Genos spoke up "I had to say my name over and over again every time he went to call me it took a week for him to get it down to pat." I laughed "alright Ren, like Yen the money but with an R," "yeah that's right…so can we go?" I sighed and got up, "I'll see you tomorrow Bang," I waved as I followed the two out of the dojo and to City Z.
It started off with us stretching, as I stretched out Saitama spoke up "are you gonna be able to fight to the top of your ability in those clothes?" I looked to him and smirked, I took off my haori, and I knew my grandfather would have gotten angered if I damaged it if he was still alive, but then I also took of my tail and then all the weapons and back pack. "Huh, I couldn't see them till you took it off," I then took of my crown and released my four seals; "now we're talking" Saitama was smiling able to feel the last of my power becoming one and pushing on him and the surrounding area. I had decided that I was not going to use any off the laws in this fight as it would be highly unfair for him, I however would use Boost only to see how he would like a taste of his own unlimited overwhelming power directed straight back at him, the victor of the small 15 minutes fight using the same power would come down to technique and battle experience. "Say Saitama, your power I have the same power but I can only use it for 15 minutes what do you say?" He shrugged his shoulders "I'll be the judge if it is as good as the power I have," I placed my hands together "I invoke Boost," as soon as it started I shot forward and behind Saitama hitting him square in the template and launching him through many buildings that collapsed, I had to chase him or he would just keep flying. He saw this coming and punched me in the chest as I only managed to just block with both my arms up as I flew back to where we started and looked up to see Saitama in front of me, I dodged to the side as I narrowly missed his kick, and he landed leaving a crater.
We smirked at each other and shot off initiating our next moves, 15 minutes felt like a century when running at that speed and using that kind of power, I forgot just what it felt like when using this law. I felt his hits as he did mine, but even though we were bleeding we couldn't feel it and we weren't focusing on it, we were pulsing with adrenaline and then came the fated moment when the law stopped being of use to me, and I fell flat on my face with an unladylike yelp, as Saitama paused and burst out laughing at my expense, I looked up and frowned at him and then blew some hair out of my face as I could also feel Kagura laughing at my clumsiness and saying "you're lucky this isn't a real fight with an enemy or else you might have only won by making them break a rib from laughing too hard." I got up onto my feet, as Saitama finally stopped laughing but he wore a lazy but happy smile, "oh that was fun I haven't felt the thrill of a fight for such a long time, thanks for that." I smirked "and your welcome," if we are done here, I have other things I want to do," "well c ya," I waved and used my wind ability to get aboard Boros's ship, I had noticed before leaving that Saitama had a little hop to his step.
