SYMPOSIA 2
PREVIOUSLY
Things take an unexpected turn as Mattin, after hearing about Aliya supposed death and probably the death of planet Amulok, enter a state of demonic rage, and uses the mysterious power to banish the angels in Zeno-oh's planet. Sirius reveals vague information about Mattin, which Sirius believes only the grand minister can decode. Mattin uses his awesome power to resurrect Aliyah. However, Mattin believes the Sirius could have been lying to him the whole time. What's going to happen now, stay tuned to find out.
NOW
"Why did you lie to me Sirius?"
Mattin asked Sirius inquisitively. During his demonic rampage, which caused a negative surge to spark the multiverse, Mattin received a vision. He saw a figure that resembled Heres, but with Burma's voice. He could by her calming voice that this was his mother, without a doubt.
With this, he was certain that Sirius's claim about him being a 4th dimensional entity that transcends the laws of the universe was BS. Plus she had said something about love, which contradicts whatever Sirius preached to him.
Not only that, but he not only saw Sirius conversing with the Grand Minister, but he heard every single word that he said, from his visual power not be the universal eye to the bizarre decryptions.
Sirius was now stuck in a binder, with nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. He is aware of Mattin overwhelming powers, and the disastrous consequences that might descend upon him if he makes the wrong move. However...
"I have no idea what you are talking abo_, "
Before he could continue, Mattin stretched his hand towards the face sun above tres-2b.
"What are yo-?
"If you still insist on keeping this up, I will revert this planet back into the hellhole it once was,"
Mattin threatened, interrupting Sirius. They were in a lone spot, were no one could hear the conversation.
"You can't be serious Mattin," Sirius inquired.
"You bet your name I am," Mattin responded, drawing his fingers close to form an enclosed fist.
At the very moment, there were a trauma across the entire planet. It was soon followed by the gradual darkening of the blue light in sky. The blue sky began to slowly peel, revealing the poisonous clouds in the atmosphere. Everyone in the planet saw this and were suddenly shaken by great fear as the temperature continued to rise.
"Mattin is abandoning us!" they screamed.
Morpheus on the other hand was just trying to keep a straight and cool face in the midst of this trouble. People all who were scattered across the planet started moving back into the cave areas as their now haven world was returning back to its original place.
Back with Mattin and Sirius, Sirius aware of what was happening, still refused to tell the truth, despite knowing full well what that would cost. He was adamant and resilient to Mattin's plea.
"Mattin?"
A voice called from behind Mattin. Sirius, who was looking right at its source could see who it was. Mattin, recognising the voice, seized his action and the planet returned to its Haven state. The people who had been panicking, including Alex and Connor, who were afraid they would have to start injuring themselves just to maintain life on the planet, became cool.
Mattin slowly turned around and saw who it was.
"Aliyah,"
Mattin said with a shaking voice. Tears started to fall from his eyes as he rushed to embrace her.
"Aliyah, you're alright," he spoke with a tone full of lament as she hugged her.
Aliyah could only smile and reciprocate the hug, he looked down at the boy's head that was planted on her chest with a brush of red on his cheek.
Aliyah then gave Sirius a staggering stare before Mattin pulled out of the hug. Mattin wiped away his tears before looking back at Sirius.
"Well played Sirius, well played, "Mattin said as he walked away from him. Aliyah grabbed Mattin's shoulder while starring beck at Sirius.
"No, not well played, because I want to hear it too, "Aliyah said sternly, causing Mattin to blush at her confidence.
"I think it's about time, Sirius,"
Morpheus appeared out of nowhere and guiltily suggested that he finally tell the truth.
Sirius took a deep sigh before finally opening his mouth.
Xeno-oh World
Back in Xeno-oh's dimension, all the destroyers, Kai and angels are stuck in the master world, who currently appears to be in a traumatised state.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know-," He and his counterpart kept repeating.
The arch angels were still confused about what was happening to their master, was this part of Mattin's idea.
"He has been like this for the past hour, "Whiss said seriously.
All the angels seemed to be down. However it wasn't because of Xeno-oh non jolly mood, no, it was because no matter how much they tried to get back to any of the universes, they would fail tremendously. They was some sort of seal around each of the universes that repelled their power every time they tried to enter.
The GM on the other hand had his head wrapped up on another situation that Sirius had told him about.
*Caspian, I wonder how you're doing*
He said staring directly at universe 11, recalling a peculiar memory.
*Caspian*
1000 Years Ago
The planet Erannyan, a beautiful planet under the gravitational pull of two suns. It exterior has a shade of red. However, its interior is green, with a large count of linear and well-built dams covering the surface, they are ancient temples and ancient houses covering the entirety of the surface of the planet.
On almost every hill, you could see bald men and women alike, walking along the unpaved streets of the surface, although not all of the shaved their hair. You could see some of them floating in the air, some of them levitating objects in the air, some of them growing extra limbs and hands and a few of them have an extra eye in their forehead.
There were others who were focusing their energy on the planets grounds, trying detect any negative aura. However, on the sky, a little fella wearing a brown sackcloth is causing a ruckus on the planet's sky.
"SIRIUS"
A few Erranyans yelled at the little boy. Sirius was heading towards the central part of the city, his father's household, where he had heard a special visitor had arrived.
He finally arrived in the area, where a massive temple could be seen covering a large surface area from above. Cracks formed on the ground as he landed, attracting a large number of Erranyans in sight.
"Sirius, be careful, "a lady suggested.
"Apologies," He responded with his hands clasped together, before suddenly rushing through the door at great speeds.
At that very moment, he saw it, the man he was expecting to see.
"BLUE UNCLE IT'S YOU"
Aware of the man in question, everyone went silent. The man being referenced was silent as well, but out of embarrassment, unlike the rest. He was rubbing his forehead, trying his very best to maintain a very calm state.
"I though Caspian cautioned him about calling me that, "The GM whispered inwardly.
He then turned around and so the boy watching him with glowing eyes.
"How are you doing, what brings you here blue uncle?" Sirius said out loud.
The GM walked towards him and bent downwards to match his height.
"Why hello there little one, I came here to have lunch with your father,"
"Oh, I thought as much,"
As they were speaking, another man passed by, attracting the attention of those around him.
"Grand Minister, I'm glad you could visit, as always," then man said.
"The pleasure is all mine, as always, how's life been treating you old friend?" the grand minister responded.
"Pretty well, I'd say. Well then, shall we get going then?" the man, who turned out to be Caspian himself said.
The GM accepted the offer and followed suit, leaving Silos in the temple entrance.
The two beings sat silently around the table, waiting for the maid servants to finish dishing out before they could begin.
They began eating after a few minutes. However, the silence still filled the room and GM was not planning on keeping.
"So, care to explain why you summoned me so immediately?"
"Oh come now, can't two old friends just catch up and reminisce"
"Of course they can"
He said innocently whilst sipping his tea.
"However the notion that you gave on your invite made it seem as if the case was very serious"
This statement made Caspian to finally give up the cheerful act and finally transition into a state of seriousness.
"I've known you for thousands of years prophet, you can never fool me, so tell me, what is the matter?
Caspian took a moment to breath. He then held up his cup, and took a sip of coffee, before placing back on top of the table.
"Very well then"
The GM then paid attention.
"I'm sure you're aware of my ability, as a being who forever strives towards enlightenment, my eyes have mastered the ability to even transcend the boundaries of time, allowing me to see into the future"
"Precognition"
The GM said, summarising Caspian's sentence.
"However, there is another truth to it, one that I am afraid will result in the disruption of all order in the universe"
Caspian stated worriedly.
"Well now that is just nonsense"
Caspian looked at the GM surprised.
"The universe works in all mysterious ways, ways that are too complex to understand, those who are quick to judge assume that is chaos, and although it may sometimes be, you have to understand that chaos and order aren't polar opposites, it is this two things working together that brings rise to all thing in the universe. Those who find ways to harmonise with the flow of the universe are not in the wrong, and how the universe responds is all part of the system"
Caspian then looked at him sternly.
"What are you going on about old friend?"
Caspian asked.
"I have observing your theory a little bit prophet, and after some consideration, I have come to the conclusion that you are right. Even the lowest of being, no matter how disadvantaged they are in terms of power scaling and the universal hierarchy, can still achieve godly power, whatever may take place due to this is not a disruption, but is rather a part of the universe that was meant to be from the very start, meaning everything was always right where it was supposed to be"
After shocked the Prophet, as he had not expected a being composed of immense power and bodily prowess to actual take his views seriously. What made it even stranger was the fact that the GM was an entity who watches over planet and is responsible for the destruction of many. It was a first for him. However, in the case that he was about to prevent, the GM would have to make an exception.
"You actually took my words to heart, I am humbled"
Caspian said.
"Nonsense, there no need for any gratitude, we are old friends after all"
Caspian heard this, and it became even harder for him to say what he wished to. He knew what it was, and what it meant, but for the sake of all things, he had to do it.
"I'm sorry, GM, but this time, you're going to have to make an exception.
"Why, and why are you closing your eyes so dramatically?"
Caspian finally opened his eyes, revealing what he was about to talking about. It was then that he could see why Caspian was being so hesitant.
"What is this?"
The GM said as he marvelled at the sight of Caspian's sight. His eyes had transformed into those that reflect the universe off their pupils.
"The universal eye, you attained it"
The GM was extremely shocked by this sight, he had never had the chance to see this, and as a being who possessed divine energy, the chances of him seeing it were completely zero.
"Why am I not surprised? if any mortal had the chance to unlock it, it would be you"
Normally, this kind of praise from a being of such high statue would lead to approval, however, this was not a normal event. The GM could see that something was wrong, he hoped that his friend would not suggest that he take drastic action.
"GM, I need you to destroy me"
And his hopes weren't fulfilled. The GM was shocked, let alone feel pressured by Caspian's request but-
"Explain"
He asked seriously. Caspian then shut down his eyes readied himself for speech.
"GM, do you know what power my people tapped into to unlock our abilities?"
"Well, it's the third eye, the symbolic power of the inner mind as it begins to transcend its full potential"
"Yes, that was what we thought, but we eventually came to realise that this wasn't the case"
Caspian said responding to the GM. He then continued to explain further.
"Well, it turns out that instead of being an internal extension of our mind, it is a rather a piece of the universe's enormous mind that linked to us, do you know what that means GM"
GM: "What?"
He said shocked.
GM: But how could it be so.
Caspian: Listen to me carefully friend, because this will be very confusing.
He then took a deep breath before explaining.
Caspian: As an intellect, I know fully well I don't need to explain to you how the universal eye if attained. As you know, the eye requires an isolated soul, one that embodies inexistence, without exception. However, for centuries, my people have always prioritised bonds and symbiotic connections and relationships with each other. I for one abolish such concepts, I prefer evolutionary progression by many to a few. This means that my mind, and the mind of all my people aren't suited to receive the eye, in fact our ancestors founded this path fully aware of that risk.
GM: But, if that is the case then why is the universe.
Caspian: Because the universe is assuming that we don't exist, which in turn could mean…
GM: You were never meant to.
The GM frowned at the situation he was facing. Even though he was not supposed to harbour any favouritism for a species, he had to admit that this matter really tour him. He was used to the Erranyans. However, there was still a chance to at least play around the rules. He knew his duty, but more than that he knew the obligations, and how to play around them, but it was Caspian who needed the conviction to live.
GM: Very well, but until your people agree to this decision then I won't-
Caspian: Already done.
The GM was now under pressure.
Caspian: I anticipated how this conversation would go, I knew you would try to find a reason to save my life, however, me and my people share one mind. So they had it all, and are in full agreement.
GM: What about you son, he doesn't appear to have taken it well.
The GM stated. Sirius's ability to mask his presence to mask his emotion has been progressing really well. However, it seemed to be futile in the presence of these two powers that were his father and the leader of the angels.
The little boy re-emerged and decided to run out of the room terrified and in tears. Caspian then cleared his throat once more before speaking.
Caspian: Also, something has been weighing on me.
GM: What is it?
Caspian: Ever since I attained the universal eye, well…
GM: What, tell me?
Caspian: I'm sorry, I can't, and I feel it may be too risky, even for an entity of your being. But also because I don't understand it clearly. However, all I can tell you is that omnipresence is among the arsenals of the universal eye. I keep recalling and seeing memories of people and beings interacting, but they all end with sudden darkness, followed by something that really catches me off. Grand Zeno's face in tears, repeatedly saying that he didn't know. I don't know why, but this leads me to think that everything we know about our universe is not what it seems.
GM: I concur, my master could act like a weirdo from time to time, but I don't think that he's completely dull. The universe itself, all the laws that exist, including the unnecessary limiting factors lead me to believe that Xeno-oh is trying to prevent something he has experienced personally.
Caspian: This is troubling indeed, also, there was something else, something about a unity that wasn't meant to be. The unification gives rise to an even stronger force, a force so strong even reality itself worships it. I don't know, it was quite strange.
GM: I'll keep that in mind.
Caspian: I'll take your word for it, however, be sure to not forget this, you will need it. Now, about the planet…
GM: I'll do it.
Caspian: Hmm, you know I was expecting a little more hesitation. That was a bad joke. But that wasn't what I meant.
The GM then looked at the GM.
Caspian: I know you don't need to hear this from anyone, but I want you to know that no matter what the universe may think of you, to me, you are the kindest and most considerate soul I have ever met. The destroyers may be a little rowdy, the Kai cheeky. But I can see you kindness, even through your children.
GM: But why would you tell me something like this.
Caspian: A superior mind with a superior intellect is isolated from the rest. You are the only one who understands me, and I you. No one else does. So if the universe does somehow manage to cast you out, as long as a piece of my mind exists out there, I will gladly let you back in.
The GM chuckled inwardly, with a bit of heartache in his voice. Knowing that the only person he could consider a friend was about vanish.
GM: Thank you, I am humbled.
The GM said standing up.
GM: I shall return by the end of the week. I hope things end up well between me and your son.
Caspian: Thank you.
The GM then left the room, leaving Caspian behind. Caspian continued to take a sip from his tea.
Eventually nightfall covered the terrain of the Erranyans planet. Every citizen on the street was going back to their habitats. It was at that time that an intense argument raged between Caspian and Sirius.
Sirius: "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING FATHER, YOU ARE GOING TO LET THE GRAND MINISTER (GM) LAY WASTE TO EVERYTHING WE TREASURE, OUR CIVILISATION AND OUR PEOPLE, WHY ARE'NT YOU SAYING SOMETHING, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING PLEASE.
Little Sirius continued to rave on, this had been happening for the past 4 hours. After a few minutes, the boy jumped over his father and started punching him. After some time he was tired, the boy got of his father's chest and fell back unto the ground from exhaustion.
Caspian, who was very powerful mentally, physically and spiritual, did not receive damage from the boy's powerful punches. The father got up and finally decided to speak.
Caspian: I am sorry my boy, this is how things are supposed to be, this is simply one of the harsh truth of this universe.
Sirius couldn't do anything but lie there helplessly. Caspian could only sigh depressingly, knowing there was nothing that could be done.
Caspian: You hate me more than anything in existence now, don't you my son.
Sirius: DON'T CALL ME THAT
Caspian: Sirius, you have to understand that we are not like other being, we transcend the laws of nature, and as such we must come to realise that something darkness is need to preserve what light this universe carries. For all the 10000 years I have lived in this universe, you will not believe how many times reality taught me that lesson, PERSONALLY.
The way in which his father stated the finally frightened the boy so much it woke him up from his broken state.
Caspian: Hopefully over the years, you'll learn that lesson too.
Sirius: If I'm alive that is.
Caspian: You will.
This statement shocked Sirius.
Sirius: What do you mean?
Caspian: It means I do not intend to let the honour of my people shrivel to the ground, you will be the last of my people to be alive, my own flesh and blood.
Sirius: Father I…
Caspian: However, I will not impose a heavy fate upon you. I want you to make your own decision. You will not be forced to anything, or pressured to do anything intense. Whatever you decide to do from next week is entirely up to you.
Caspian then looked upwards, activating his eye.
Caspian: Come on let's go outside. They are people who want to leave you their blessings.
Sirius: Their blessings? Who?
Caspian smiled.
Caspian: Everyone.
Sirius and Caspian went outside and saw that everyone, man and woman alike, were in fact standing outside, looking at him with warm smiled planted on their faces. The whole planet was now clustered in one location. He walked towards them. The first row that was standing right next to him lifted him up high, and carried him above their heads, with their arms held upright.
The whole planet carried him on their arms all night, shifting from one location to another above them. Sirius just went numb as he felt their arms moving him here and forth. It was a relaxing feeling, but one with dreadful meaning behind it. As he knew that he would never see them again.
While they were busy shifting him, Sirius cried out uncontrollably in their arms' embrace. All of his people were about to die, and he would be the last remaining. Caspian, his father, just watched as his entire empire embraced his son. He wanted to cry as well, but couldn't, none of them could, they have all lived long enough to understand that such catastrophic events were simply a part of life. On top of that, the power of the universal eye, which was forced on top of them without their knowledge or consent, shut down all of their emotions for all eternity.
Time passed and the next morning arrived. Things were different this time. Instead of being in their usual meditational and prayer routine, they were all going just walking around in groups of families, some families met and united, the residential streets were empty, but all woodland area were packed with picnics over picnics of people.
They were old couples, middle aged couples, and unmarried couples, walking together, talking and cuddling. Some couples, composed of mostly young, inexperienced couples, were kissing and some were doing even more "explicit" things. Fortunately and unfortunately, Sirius was the only child currently in the Erranyans Empire.
Caspian was currently trying to calm down his son, who was gliding in the sky watching as his father's empire desperately tried to rekindle their old memories. Although there was another reason why the father decided to float with him, despite him being his father and that was to shield his son's eyes from any mature scenes that were taking place.
After they had finished flying, they landed once again on top of the temple.
Caspian: Are you done.
Sirius, understanding the state his father was in, decided to just nod in agreement.
Caspian: I am going to help you grow stronger. If you're going to represent the last of our species then you're going to need to get stronger.
Sirius: I thought you said you're not going to force anything on me.
Caspian: And keep my promise I shall, however weakness is simply inexcusable, you're not just an Erannyan, you're from the 11th universe, a universe of power, you need to be strong.
Sirius took a brief moment to consider before making up his mind.
Sirius: Very well then.
Caspian: Very well, hold out your hand, I will give you about half of my power. It will not only help you unlock you numerous third eye abilities, but it will also increase their range at a multi-universal scale.
Sirius couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was he really about to become this strong. Also…
Sirius: What do you mean by numerous abilities?
Caspian: Oh come now, don't tell me you haven't noticed it.
Sirius: What do you mean?
Caspian: I'll explain.
Sirius listened attentively.
Caspian: The universal truth is that everyone is born with a specific gift that makes them unique and special. For example, mine is foresight, you mother was spiritualism. However, they are those who are exceptions, and they can be divide into two categories. Those who have none, and those who possess all of them. You are the later.
Sirius: Wow that sounds phenomenal.
Caspian: However, this could mean that like the former, you lack an identity, a defining trait, one that makes you a unique addition of the universe.
Sirius frowned at his father's harsh words.
Sirius: Oh, right, that makes sense.
Caspian saw how sad this makes his son. However, he walked away from.
Caspian: Do not frown, no having a destiny could be a good thing as well. It simply means that you can make your destiny. That's exactly the reason why I chose not to burden you with any responsibility.
Sirius's spirit was lifted once more.
While everyone was busy enjoying and trying to treasure their last moments, darkness engulfed the entire planet. This was followed by a yellow light.
"It's happening already?"
One male Erannyan spoke with shock in his voice.
"No, this is something else, look, at the top of the temple"
Another female Erannyan, who was the male's wife, responded. All of a sudden, all of them stood up and headed for the temple. When the got there, they could do nothing but marvel at the marvellous scenery.
Sirius had just received a quarter of Caspian's universal energy. This resulted in Sirius's body releasing a lot of pure energy across the planet as all of the abilities that were locked inside him were unlocked.
Sirius could feel overwhelming strength engulfing his soul. It was after all his abilities where unlocked that Sirius finally landed gracefully on top of the temple, with his eyes closed.
When he opened them and looked downwards, he could see that there was a huge crowd bowing down in his direction, as if he was a new born deity.
Caspian went to his son and saw the masses. He used the universal eye to tell them to disperse before holding his son's shoulder.
Caspian: And now for the hard part.
Sirius: Huh?
Sirius said confused.
Six days later
Sirius looked to be painting in exhaustion, he was training with his father and it was exhausting him a lot. It has been very exhausting for the past six days, but this day wasn't even the worst of it.
They were currently on one of the five moons that orbited the planet. Caspian stood in front of his son looking at him.
Caspian: I think that would be enough for the day.
Sirius: I agree.
Sirius said struggling.
Caspian: Let's go home.
Sirius: I agree.
He responded, but this time with a small laughter in his voice.
They both flew away from the moon and headed towards their home planet. Caspian was ahead of Sirius.
Sirius turned back and noticed that half of the dead moon was devastated.
Sirius: FATHER.
Sirius called out. Caspian, who already knew what he was going to say, simply activated his eye, and the small planetoid reconstructed itself back to normal.
Food was already prepared for them when they got back. After a while, they began eating. The whole table was quiet. However after the awkward had overstayed its welcome, Caspian saw it fit to break it.
Caspian: Tomorrow is…
Sirius: I know, it's the end.
Caspian: What are you going to do?
Sirius: Father?
Caspian: I want to know what route you plan to take after this.
Sirius: Why?
Caspian: Consider it an old man's dying wish.
Sirius then lowered his head and sighed before speaking.
Sirius: I've been thinking about the philosophy that GM spoke about regarding life, I believe that was your philosophy.
Caspian: That's right.
Sirius: I highly believe in it. However in my eyes I believe, that they are no exceptions. All creature deserve a chance, and I believe that whatever happens in the universe, whether it leads to great progressions or destruction, is purely part of the flow of time and should not be interfered with.
Caspian: So what are you planning to do with those that disagree?
Sirius: You mean the deities. I will thwarts their plans and destroy them.
Caspian: You will not win.
Sirius: THEN I WILL SAVE AT LEAST A SINGLE LIFE FROM EACH OF THESE WORLDS, SAME WAY YOU CHOSE TO SAVE ME. I WILL RAISE THEM AND TEACH THEM TO OPPOSE THE IDEOLOGIES OF THESE SO CALLED DEITIES, WHO PRAISE NOTHING BUT DESTRUCTION.
Sirius spoke, turning away from his father.
Caspian wanted to oppose his son's anger, but after seconds of self-reflection, he came to empathise with it.
Caspian: Very well then, if that is what you want to do, then I guess I cannot stop you. However…
Sirius turned to his father to hear what he had to say.
Caspian: There is a prophecy I need to relay to you, something I refused to entrust even to the Grand Minister.
Sirius: What is it?
Caspian then recited the following words.
"Out of the ashes of a dead and forgotten time, remains a figure that transcends the very laws of reality, asleep. A forgotten despicable crime keeps him alive. His name is Mattin Harmilan, and he is the product of unification. Take note of these words and keep them at heart, for if that great injustice were to be invoked once more, he shall awaken, and the burden of a new era shall be upon his shoulders."
Caspian: I want you to father this boy Sirius.
Sirius: I will, and if his power is as great as you said, then I shall teach him to use it and stop the deities from their senseless. Even if it means wiping them off the face of existence.
Caspian tried his hardest to avoid his son's proclamation and it became harder the more he did.
Caspian: There is one more thing I want y-, no you have to do it.
Sirius: Yes father?
Caspian: Love, hate, Suzani, Unification, Heles, Bulma and Zeno's mistake. I want you relate this to the Grand Minister.
Sirius: When?
At this point, Sirius could not take the time to think about or reject his father's wishes.
Caspian: When the universe reaches its darkest moment, and everything appears to be reaching its conclusion.
Sirius: What, but who wou-, it's Mattin isn't it?
Caspian responded with silence, confirming Sirius's thesis.
Caspian: In about 1, 5 thousand years from now, a very powerful dimwit from the Saiyan race of universe 7 will cause Great Zeno into hosting a despicable event. A contest, where mortal warriors from 12 universes will be forced to battle of the survival of their universe.
Sirius: What?
Caspian: Eventually, the bimbo's universe will be victorious, which will result in your death, and the death of all beings not in universe 7. Eventually, all the universes will be restored once more and the worlds will be returned to normal. All who died shall be revived, when this happens, you shall prepare to summon the child. I will give you an encryption you will use to summon him.
Caspian said tapping the boy's soldier, which in turn sparked a sudden realisation.
Day 7
The day finally arrived, Sirius had managed to teleport himself to one of the moons of Erannya, where he could watch the GM, who was now floating above the planet, put an end to the civilisation he grew up in.
The GM was at first hesitant, but after a few minutes, he tapped his stuff unto the empty space and the planet just disintegrated. There was no volcanic eruption, no earthquakes, just a quick, nonviolent, and painless demise.
Sirius couldn't cry at this moment, he was already told what would happen, and how it would happen. So without hesitation, Sirius gobbled up his anger, and teleported to the seventh universe, where his father had commanded him to go.
This is where he began extending the range of his power. After 1000 years, he had achieved the same spiritual energy as his mother's, which was more powerful than his father's, enough to cover all 12 universes.
This also awakened his senses, but there was another problem. Sirius's had bottled up so much anger, that the positive energy that supplies his life force was becoming weak, this made him develop an old appearance before even reaching the age that his father did.
But it was worth it, as this anger also motivated his power to grow. Finally the moment of truth arrived.
A 100 years passed had passed and Mattin managed to catch a glimpse of the Saiyan race that his father discussed about. It was also at this time that he met the Goblin Morpheus, who had also lost his planet from invasions. He picked him up from the planet's surface in universe 4, right next to his parents' corpse.
400 years passed, and the planet of the Saiyans was destroyed. Sirius witnessed it all happen. Including the moment Goku was sent to the earth, he knew that this would be the Saiyan responsible for the despicable contest. So he sought to kill.
However, after some thinking, he decided not to, as he saw that this would only make him like the deities he opposed so much, who claim to 'do it for the good of the future'.
Time passed, and the contest happened, leading to where the recent events of Mattin.
After the distraction of Amulok, and the supposed death of Aliyah, Mattin entered a state of demonic, causing his negative Ki to overwhelm his positive Ki, which in turn gave birth to pure demonic energy. So demonic it spread a dark sensation across the planet, which literally led to the darkest day in the universe.
Mattin was about to eradicate the entire universe at that moment, including Zeno's realm and the realms of the Kai. However, a memory surge caused the positive Ki in him to finally balance itself with the negative Ki.
It was also through this memory that Mattin was able to resurrect Aliyah, also, it was then he realised he was lied to. And questioned Sirius, the man who lied to him.
Now
*Even if this universe where to reject you, as long as a piece of my mind exists out there, I will be there to let you in*
The GM said, remembering Caspian's final words to him. It was at this moment that he realised it. Those who die with the universal eye shall have a pieces of their mind and conscious scattered and linked with their home universe.
He finally turned back to face Heres, who along with other celestials, were staring at him star gazing at the 11th universe.
GM: Heres.
The GM said frankly to the second universe's destroyer.
Heres: Umm, yes Grand Minister?
The GM then walked towards her. He then began to quickly scan her body from bottom up. He drew his face closer to hers, to a point in which they were almost in contact.
GM: You haven't been pregnant lately have you?
The GM question, which immensely confused and disturbed the destroyers.
Heres: Yes Grand Minister, yes I have been.
GM: Really?
Heres: OF CAUSE NOT YOU CREEP.
Heres retorted loudly at the angel.
"It's as I thought, come with me, there is something I need to confirm"
He said grabbing unto the destroyer's hand. Which served to only add to her confusing. However, before disappearing, he cautioned the angels to watch over Zeno, he suspected that he knew more than he did.
GM was now floating on the ever-growing husk of the 11th universe. He placed his hand on the exterior but his hand felt a burning sensation. Heres noticed this, but was still confused to understand the grand minister was planning.
*Let me in, old friend*
The GM then reached for the universe's outer husk once more.
EARTH
Bulma was currently sitting at home with a concerned look on her face. At first, there was the sudden surge across the universe which contained a lot of negative energy. Then Goku and Vegeta came, and confirmed his thoughts on Mattin's well-being.
Even though Bulma knew what Mattin was, she couldn't help but feel worried and concerned about him. She kept wondering if all was well, and if he was safe and happy wherever he was at the moment.
It was as if Bulma was beginning to develop motherly feelings for the child. She could not explain it, but she could feel that somehow, he and the boy had a strong connection.
Little did she know that the so it that way as well.
After moments of deep thinking, Bulma made her way to her lab to cool off her head. Vegeta could see the sadness and concern in her eyes, and chose not to interfere.
She started to work on some random project. All of a sudden, as she was doing that, a familiar voice boomed in her mind. It was king Kai, telling her to go and get Goku and come along come to his world.
Vegeta decided to tag along as well, as he had nothing to do. When they got there, Bulma could immediately feel the large gravitational pull of the planet pushing her down. It was as if an invisible boulder was placed on top of her.
The force forced the blue haired scientist into the ground. Fortunately for her, this situation was alleviated when a blue energy field covered her body. With this she was able to get up. She looked ahead to see the source of the energy, and was surprised to see that the source of her assistance was none other than the Grand Minister himself, who appears to have brought a strange lady with her.
Bulma: Hie there.
Bulma spoke enviously.
Heres: Hello to you too, mortal.
Heres said trying to be nice as well.
To avoid the growing awkwardness, the Grand Minister interjected.
GM: We do not have time for this, Bulma, something alarming just happened and I need your help fixing it.
Bulma: What is it?
Heres: That strange boy you harboured somehow managed to banish all of us deity from the realm of mortals. Everyone who was in the fight cannot return to their universe.
Bulma: Then how did you guys get here.
GM: It's a long story, however we need your help decoding something.
Bulma: Okay. Is it an algorithm of some sort?
GM: No, it's a prophecy.
Bulma: Prophecy.
Heres: Basically, one of Grand Minister's old mentioned some pretty encrypted details long ago.
Bulma: So the prophecy has something to do with Mattin's origin?
GM: Yes, hopefully.
Bulma took some time to breathe before speaking again.
Bulma: I'll do as much as I can to help, where do we start?
GM and Heres shared a look with each other before coming returning their gazes to Bulma.
GM: This old friend of mine, had such accurate precognitive abilities that he became known as a universal prophet. He possessed the universal eye, one that I had assumed Mattin had.
Bulma: So he doesn't have the eye.
GM: Yes, but the main point is that if Caspian where to leave me with random words instead of a full prophecy it could mean two things. Either he saw everything and couldn't share the whole thing with me in fear of how it might affect the timeline. Or, it could he couldn't make it out, which would be strange since the universal eye cannot be failed to decipher its own main body.
Bulma: Interesting, so in other words if we were to rule out the first one, we could assume that the event involves something you had a hand in GM. Something he feared you might change or alter if you knew.
Heres: Which means whatever the prophecy represented, Caspian was for it.
Bulma: I like her.
Heres: Why thank you, I'm growing more fund of you as well, you have quite the intellect.
GM: Ahem.
The Grand Minister interjected.
GM: Now from my personal experience with Caspian, I could safely say that this was not the case, at first he told me that he couldn't risk to tell me, but then he later explained that even he couldn't understand it. I could even see from his facial expressions that these visions where new and strange to him.
Heres: So that would leave us with one alternative.
Bulma: Assuming that he couldn't understand himself would mean that maybe something was wrong with this universal eye, you said that the eye represents the mind of the universe, so there's no way it wouldn't understand itself.
Heres: That could be a possibility, however the only thing that might cause a glitch in the eye is a glitch in the universe itself.
Bulma: Could it maybe be related to one of the words he said?
Heres: Well, so far we have only covered a few, Heres and Bulma. But we haven't covered Love and Hate, along with Suzani and uhm, Zeno-oh's mistakes?
Heres: What do you think GM?
GM: Well, both of you are here so that is partly covered. Love and Hate could referring to war, romance and ambitions, clashing towards darkness. As for Suzani, it's a teleportation spell that is used among magic wielders in universe 11 that was borrowed from the fairies in U2 by the ancient ancestors of the prophet.
Bulma: Fairies?
Heres: Don't get me started.
She said slapping her forehead.
GM: There is another hilarious meaning to it. The word can be found on earth as well. It's an African word shared among the Nguni tribes. If I'm correct, it loosely translates to "fart".
Bulma: You're joking.
GM: Not exactly, I think that was just his way of hinting at both of you.
Heres: You are an earthling after all.
Bulma: And you're the Universe 2's destroyer.
Bulma: Yeah that makes sense, but I'm still not forgiving him for choosing fart.
Goku and Vegeta could be seen laughing in the background. The GM couldn't help but laugh at his old friend's tactics.
GM: As for Xeno-oh mistakes, this could mean only one thing. I don't have time to explain it but hear me out. Judging by the one thing Zeno-oh is notorious for, we could easily assume that the visions that Caspian received, do not come from our universes.
This shocked all of them, they couldn't explain what it means. Goku and Vegeta included.
GM: It would explain a lot of things, like how I am unable to read his soul.
Heres: Could he maybe be from the 6 universes that were previously destroyed.
GM: I'm not sure, but, judging from the unexplainable trauma that Xeno-oh is currently facing, I'll say that he probably knows something, and it's deeper than the 6 previous universes.
Bulma: What do you guys mean by 6 universes?
Heres: Oh, my apologies, they used to be 18 universes instead of 12, but Xeno-oh destroyed the last six when they agitated him.
This fact frightened Bulma greatly, reminding him of the great powers that lie beyond.
GM: Well, there was something else about Mattin, he's behaviour.
Heres: Oh, so you've noticed it too?
GM: Of cause I did, I'm the Grand Minister.
GM said proudly.
Bulma: What are you guys talking about?
Bulma asked, but this time really concerned.
Vegeta: Come to think of it…
Bulma: AND WHERE'VE YOU BEEN THIS ENTIRE TIME?
Bulma yelled at her approaching husband, who was despondent.
Vegeta: The way he was acting was strange, when we fought on earth and universe 10, he didn't show true conviction, almost like he was confused and uncertain.
Heres: Plus his speech pattern kept changing.
GM: Indeed, it would range from child, to adult, a philosopher, to a sort of stereotypical God figure.
Heres: It was disturbing, almost as if his soul was split into many pieces.
Bulma: Multiple personality disorder.
Heres: The only thing that could cause such a condition is either memory loss, a traumatic event, or just being born with it.
Vegeta: Well, we could chuck the last two out the window.
Bulma: Why?
Heres: Well, there's no way he could have been born with it, that possibility is simply too rare, plus most of the times we asked who he was, he would either avoid the question, or give us a vague answer.
Bulma: Memory loss then?
GM: Yes. So now to our next location. The null realm.
Goku: Wait, you mean that place where we had the contest.
Vegeta: Why that place?
Heres: Every destroyer and Kai had a dream of Mattin emerging from that area, we have a feeling we might find a remnant of his life there.
THE NULL REALM
With a tap from his staff, the whole crew, except King Kai, who wanted nothing to do with it, were on the realm of emptiness.
There were floating aimlessly in the blue bubble that the GM had created.
As they were going the cast emptiness, they came across the ruins of the contest stage. Where all universes battled for survival.
Bulma noticed a blue spark east of their location. She pointed it out and the GM commanded the Bubble to move in its direction.
They finally arrived there after an hour and they came across a small floating island. Something was clearly wrong in this area
When Bulma and Heres touched the area's surface, they felt a strange surge of energy in the air, which for some reason was there.
The grand minister noticed that he could read the energy on these ground and that he couldn't. Goku and Vegeta on the other hand felt nothing except strange alien energy.
As they continued walking to the centre of the statue, the came across a giant podium which looked like it had a statue, but was taken from that area.
Heres immediately noticed what it was, it was where he saw the statue of Mattin, in her dream. This whole island was where they saw Mattin immerge.
The Grand Minister turned around and noticed something stranger, Bulma and Heres were each shedding a tear from one eyes, and they were holding hands.
When the two saw him snapping his fingers, the trance was removed. They didn't know why, but this place felt entwined with them. It was then that they realised what was happening.
The broken statue that was found in the middle of the small island was calling to them, and it sounded like them?
Goku and Vegeta still couldn't feel anything, but the case was different for the Grand Minister and the other two.
When they finally got to the central point, something strange happened.
GM: It just stopped.
This shocked both Heres and Bulma, as they had no idea the even the Grand minister could sense it too.
Goku: What are you three babbling about?
Bulma: Are you two actually telling me you couldn't feel that?
The two Saiyans looked at each other confused.
This sparked a new theory for the GM's.
GM: Wait, the encryption that the prophet mentioned to me had your names in it. Which means only three of us are involved.
Bulma: Well, whatever you are planning would be pointless now that the surge has disappeared.
GM: Not exactly. This simply means that we are close.
Bulma: What do you mean close?
GM: There's no wind, in the eye of the storm.
Bulma: I think you mean tornado, or is it cyclone?
Heres: It's both.
GM: STOP TRYING TO REMIND ME OF MY INACCURACY.
Heres: Geez, no need to get worked up man.
GM: Just follow me okay.
The trio was now sitting on top of the podium where the statue once stood. They were joining hands in a circle. What the GM was planning to do was link all of their life energies together.
Immediately after the GM started the process, Bulma and Heres could immediately feel the immense and overwhelming power of the GM flowing through them. It gave them a tiny glimpse of the true concept of power and greatness, for Bulma it was all new as she could also feel the Destroyer's power flowing through her.
However, before they could fully ravish the sensation, the surge returned again, but this time, it was much more sudden, and potent. The whole area was covered in darkness. Suddenly light flashed.
And just before they were knew it, they were staring at a grassy filled, they saw new events, of a world that once was, from moments of jovial smiles and happy moments, to the screams of agony and to what the prophet had told them, utter darkness.
2 Hours later
The two Saiyans where overwhelmed with boredom, watching over the bodies of the three they were accompanying frozen in motion.
Alas, the three bodies finally woke up, they was great panting and heavy breathing between the three. Bulma on the other hand was feeling dizzy, luckily. Her husband caught her before she could collapse, however, before she could fall unconscious, she uttered one thing.
"Mattin"
It was then that they realised, from the shocked expression on the GM's face, to the terrified shaking of Heres, it was all clear now.
The three had finally discovered the whole truth about Mattin's biological origin.
Tres-2b
Meanwhile…
Sirius: You two are very weird people.
Aliyah and Mattin had locked the old man in a tight hug. After Sirius had explained everything about his father and the real truth behind the sudden demise of his world. The two had decided to forgive the old man.
Also he wasn't old anymore. For revealing the truth, Sirius had released a portion of the pent up anger and darkness in him, which caused him to de-age into a young man.
Mattin: You see, honesty doesn't kill.
Sirius: Oh, you mean like how you almost destroyed the entire planet? Noted.
Sirius said sarcastically.
Aliyah: Oh yeah, about that.
Aliyah went ahead and punched Mattin in the chest, which sent the buy flying. She then managed to catch him mid-air
Aliyah: That was for nearly killing entire species because of a simple misunderstanding.
Before planting a huge kiss on his face, and releasing it suddenly.
Aliyah: And this is for resurrecting me.
After that was done, the three returned back to the clustered settlement, Mattin had convinced Sirius that the cult would understand of he revealed the truth.
However before he could speak, a blue portal opened revealing the Grand Minister and a Heres drowning in tears.
GM: Mattin, we're here to make a preposition.
I'm sorry, I didn't know
Those were the words at the back of the GM's mind when he uttered those words.
GM: I know what happened to you, your origin, your home, and what happened to all of it in the end.
Mattin looked at him with shock, from his expression, and through his ability to pierce the soul, he could tell that he wasn't lying.
What was he going to do now?
