Chapter 4: The Assassin vs The Mercenary
Zalabasta Prison, Universe 11
The prison riot has begun, the inmates of Zalabasta all chaotically fought each other, and the guards tried to restrain them once again, while some were taking their chances to escape this high-security prison. Necros, Chikara, and Juki were among those who wanted to escape. As the three criminals jumped straight into the gigantic riot.
Necros looked at Chikara. "Chikara, use your strength to waltz right through those guys. The exit is that way but we have to get through them first!" Necros told him.
"Got it!" Chikara shouted.
As he clenched his fist, Chikara used his energy to surround his entire being. As he was glowing, he then looked at his comrades. "Stay behind me until we are out, we got a long way to go," Chikara explained.
Juki then looked around and decided to get with his plans. "You two go on ahead, I will meet with you later, I got some things to do," Juki explained.
"Where are you going? Stick to the plan!" Necros asked.
"I made sure to meet my acquaintance somewhere else, he's going to bring in my trustworthy arsenal of weapons and my suit. I will meet you all later," Juki told them as he then ran away and fought himself through the guards.
"Juki, and an arsenal of weapons… could he be… No, that guy was only meant to be a legend, a myth!" Necros thought to himself.
Chikara and Necros were left alone. "We will see him later, come on wizard, we got a job to do," Chikara said while glowing as he went right towards the exit.
Chikara and Necros went right towards the exit, but as they were gaining fast, someone was blocking their way to freedom. Ikari Monsuta jumped right in front of the two while growling loudly. Both prisoners covered their heads.
"Great, I guess Juki didn't tell us to watch out for this guy," Chikara said.
"We have to get through him if we want to break free," Necros told the muscular alien.
Chikara walked up to the giant behemoth as he was yelling at the mohawked alien. "You wanna take me? Then come and get it!" He shouted as he ran up to the monster.
Ikari charged as the two were in a wrestling scuffle. Necros was watching the two monsters fight each other and sighed. "Chikara, we…" Necros said as Chikara interrupted him.
"Quiet magician! Go to the exit, while I hold him off! Meet Juki outside!" Chikara shouted within his struggle.
Necros sighs once again and looked at his hands, he noticed that because of the huge riot, the guards weren't able to keep everything under control, and thus, Necros his magic has returned. His hands were glowing green and only aimed his right hand at the huge monster.
Ikari was surrounded by green energy and suddenly, he went to sleep on the ground, letting go of Chikara, and even with the riot going on, Monsuta was sleeping like a baby. Chikara looked at the monster sleeping peacefully on the ground.
"What the… You had your power back this whole time?" Chikara asked.
"No, just a couple of seconds ago. The guards of Zalabasta had a special shield to make sure no one can use their magic. But because the guards are too busy with the inmates, no one kept the shield up, and my powers were restored. That is why I wanted to cause a riot, to give me my magic back. That would make our escape much, much easier," Necros said sinisterly.
"Why didn't you tell me before I started fighting my way through those punks!" Chikara asked angrily while holding the magician by his prison clothes.
"I just wanted to see you fight again, if you would have perished, then I guess you were unfit. Anyways, my magic is back, but I cannot teleport us, it's still too weak for that, so we have to get to the exit ourselves," Necros explained.
"Fine, whatever you say, but watch what you are saying next time!" Chikara shouted.
"Do you want to get out of here or not!" Necros shouted.
Chikara tried to speak back, but then turned around and busted the exit open as the hallway showed a door on the other end of the building. Necros and Chikara went right for that exit, but they still saw several guards trying to stop them at the exit. Chikara glows in his energy once again and went right through the guards, defeating them rather easily.
Finally exiting Zalabasta, Necros and Chikara were standing outside of the prison and they were free once again. Necros changed his and Chikara's outfit to his original clothes, wearing green cargo pants and vest, with a black cape. Chikara's outfit was blue baggy pants and a red shirt showing his muscle mass. The two then ran away from prison.
"At last we are free," Necros noted.
"Yeah, I hate those prison clothes, I cannot showcase my packs of steel in that stuff," Chikara said as he was flexing his biceps and punched the air several times while running.
After several miles, Necros and Chikara arrived in an area surrounded by several buildings and open space connected to the buildings. Necros then approached the huge blue alien.
"When will Juki arrive? He told us to meet him outside but he wasn't there, he better not let us wait for long," Necros asked.
"Relax, Juki will keep his promise, he just needs to get his arsenal of weapons, then we will be unstoppable!" Chikara said confidently.
"Juki knows how to find us," Necros said as he walked away, with Chikara following him, hiding from the open.
Hyperspace
Vados was in hyperspace, on her way to Planet Sadal, Champa's attendant was thinking about the one who contacted her, Sasine. She found it weird for her to seek help from someone in Vados' position.
"Who exactly is this Sasine that requires mine of Lord Champa's help, and how can she be useful as she claimed?" Vados asked when she puts her hand on her chin. "I should look into her history to see what she exactly wants," Vados thought to herself.
Meanwhile, on Planet Sadal, Sasine was sitting across Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale as they were talking to each other to kill some time before Vados arrived.
"So, right now you are just a florist on Planet Sunakku?" Cabba asked.
"Yes, for as long as I can remember, I always lived on Planet Sunakku. After some time, I see up a shop and found the love of my life, Chippusu. We were married just 5 years later," Sasine explained.
"Married, pfft, never see me doing that, tell me more about your strength, I want to know all of it! When did you first get that you were strong?" Caulifla asked.
"I don't know anything about my strength, everything in my life was going just fine until like 6 months when I kept vanishing from existence now and then. It was never that much of a problem until recently," Sasine explained.
"Aw really, that sucks, you're very interesting. I might be able to get much more powerful if I fight you! Once I am strong enough, I will challenge that old man, Goku, and this time, I will beat him no matter what!" Caulifla said when she quickly stood up off the ground with her fist in the air.
"Goku? Oh, that's right, you and Kale fought this Goku in the Universal Tournament. I want to ask you because I was not that impressed with Goku, I am more of a fan of Vegeta, but how good is Goku?" Sasine asked curiously.
Caulifla then looked at Sasine and slowly sat down on the ground again. "Fighting the old man was the best thing I have done in my life. It made me realize the potential a Saiyan has. Even after Kale and I fused, the old man just kept getting up and got even stronger than before. He then used Ultra… whatever it's called, and the strength he showed was cool. Old man Vegeta is a very powerful fighter and someone you never want to underestimate, but old man Goku is the one I want to beat when the time is right!" Caulifla told her.
"Oohhh… Goku must have had an amazing impact on you," Sasine said.
Then from the edge of space, a bright light suddenly traveled right towards the planet and landed close to Kale, Caulifla, Cabba, and Sasine. They all saw the light and quickly stood up. The light disappeared as it was revealed to be Vados, standing tall with her staff. She only looked left and right.
"Oh, my, such a rough landing," Vados said when she dusts the smoke from her landing away.
She noticed the four standing only right towards them. "Good afternoon Cabba, Caulifla, Kale," Vados said as she lastly looked at Sasine. "And you must be Sasine, the one that contacted me," Vados said.
"Yes ma'am, that's me," Sasine introduced herself nicely.
"I must tell you that what you are about to do can truly cost you not only your life. If Lord Champa is not pleased, then he will erase you from this plane of existence with a flick of the finger. If he is pleased, then you will have the freedom to ask me for anything you need," Vados explained.
"Don't worry Vados, this is what I am specialized in for years. Next, to being a florist, this other task is my favorite thing to do. Please, bring me to Lord Champa, then we can start," Sasine asked of the angel.
Vados only smiled and nodded as she turned around. "Grab my shoulder, then we can go," Vados told her.
Sasine then looked at Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale again. "Well, then I guess I am off. Cabba, thank you so much for your help, I'll promise to visit Planet Sadal once I am done," Sasine said nicely.
"No problem Sasine, I hope your journey works out for you. Visit us anytime you want," Cabba said happily.
Sasine nods and walked over to Vados. She touched her shoulder and Vados tapped her staff on the ground. The two got surrounded by shining bright light and shot up in the sky like a rocket. Vados and Sasine had started their travel towards Lord Champa's planet.
Meanwhile, on the way to Champa's palace, Sasine had several questions for the attendant of the God of destruction.
"Even after explaining that what you are doing will cost you your existence, you didn't flinch at all," Vados told the woman.
"Cabba told me what I need to do and I am very good at what I am doing. Lord Champa will love it. I need a favor and you are the only one that can help me. No one else," Sasine explained.
"May I ask where your bravery comes from? Such confidence is pretty remarkable and I would like to know why a mortal would go through such lengths," Vados asked.
"I want you to tell me where I can find The Legendary Assassin…" Sasine said as Vados quickly interrupted her.
"You are looking for Hit? That is truly all you request? You could have said so sooner, you didn't need to please Lord Champa to ask where Hit is right now. However, it is at your own risk to meet one of the most dangerous beings in this universe. If you want to, I can bring you to Hit right away," Vados asked of the woman.
"That is very nice of you Vados, but no thank you. I made a promise to you that I would first get Lord Champa's approval, and I am not going to take the easy route now that I know. I will earn your help," Sasine said proudly.
"I see, to prove yourself, I admire that from you Sasine. You are a very interesting mortal with remarkable morals. If you survive, then I am sure Lord Champa and I have a use for you, but we will see about that later, we are almost there," Vados told the woman.
Vados and Sasine were traveling through hyperspace on their way to Champa's planet. Crossing galaxies and several solar systems from Planet Sadal, Vados came closer and closer to the planet of the God of Destruction from Universe 6.
Planet Cemetary
Hit was still sitting quietly in front of Sasine's grave with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He was silently praying while he kept his hands together.
"The Assassins of Planet Koroshi, it's all a memory I rather only think of every other hundred years, but I did owe my new life to them," Hit said honorably when he then slowly stood up off the ground.
Hit stood tall while the rain was starting to lessen. His hands went inside his pockets again and turned away from the grave.
"I'll be back in exactly 100 years for a visit. Until we meet again, Sazine," Hit said as he walked away from the grave and back to his ship.
From his left pocket, he grabbed a remote and spoke into it. "Manu, start the ship, it's time to complete my contract, Necros from Universe 11," Hit said to his ship.
"Right away sir, but would you also like to know something interesting since you have been gone? One of my main tasks is to keep up with your contracts and where they are after all," Manu asked.
"Go on," Hit said while walking.
"Of course sir. Right after you left, Jiren brought Necros into a high-security prison in Universe 11 named: Zalabasta Penitentiary. Recently, Necros, together with 2 very powerful fugitives started a prison riot and escaped captivity. Since then, they teamed up to and their main target, is you, sir," Manu explained.
Hit still kept his eyes closed and entered his ship, sitting down in his chair. "Give me a bio on those 2 fugitives Necros is teaming up with," Hit asked.
"Alright, give me just a second sir…" Manu said while finding the character bios of Necros' partners.
Hit's spaceship floated off the landing spot and levitated higher into the sky until it left the planet. In space, the ship finally brought up the two bios of the fugitives, Chikara and Juki.
"Sir first up is a creature named: Chikara. He is a monstrous and extremely powerful Monna from Planet Monst. He was a rampaging criminal conquering several planets in Universe 11 until he was defeated and captured by the Pride Troopers General, Khaseral. He is the one that injured Khaseral's eye and he replaced it with a robotic eye. Further on, he is a skilled street brawler and not someone you should underestimate, especially not his intelligence, which is above average," Manu explained.
"A worthless brute, he will be dealt with soon if he gets in my way, what about that other guy?" Hit asked.
Manu then showed a bio of the next fugitive, who looked very different from the other one. "Next one is… oh my, sir before I give you this bio, I suggest you…" Manu said as Hit interrupted him.
"Manu, just go to the bio, don't worry about me, I know how to keep myself safe," Hit told him.
"Well, the second fugitive is much, much more dangerous than the first one. His name is Juki Nosenmonka, or short for Juki," Manu said when he showed a picture of Juki.
The image showed Juki in a protective mercenary suit of armor with several weapons shown, hidden and equipped all over his body while he held a gun in his hand. His suit consists of a black and blue helmet with the left side black and the right side blue. He had a blue utility belt with other different kinds of weapons, blue boots, and blue gloves while his full body was black from the armor.
Manu explained the second fugitive. "Juki Nosenmonka is a powerful mercenary from Universe 11 that not even the Pride Troopers managed to catch that easily. He is arguably the best weapons expert in the entire universe and has such an arsenal of different kinds of weapons that getting confronted by him leaves you with a choice of you staying alive, or him. Juki's expertise lies in all the weapons he wields, making him extremely lethal as his aim is unmatched. His best achievement is crippling Dyspo of the Pride Troopers. Master Hit, Juki defeated Dyspo," Manu explained.
"So did I, continue," Hit said uninterested.
"It appears that with Dyspo's defeat, Top and Jiren instead decided to step up. Top destroyed Juki's suit while Jiren beat him and stripped him from all of his weapons. Even without them, he is a skilled martial artist, but was still defeated and incarcerated for life in prison for his crimes as a mercenary," Manu explained as he then continued. "Sir, my advice to you is to be careful with Juki as he is just as lethal as you are. Lastly, he goes by the codename: Deathwish," the ship's computer said.
"Just as lethal, I am in for a challenge to see who is more lethal. Set a course to Universe 11," Hit said to his ships.
And thus, Hit went on his way to Universe 11 to take care of the contract he left. Leaving the Cemetery Planet in Universe 6, Hit went back to work to finish his contract.
Champa's Planet.
The God of Destruction from Universe 6, Champa, was simply sleeping in his hang mat under the sun and the lake close to his castle. While snoring loudly, a bright ray of light hit the ground close to him, and he shockingly woke up from his sleep.
With smoke covering his sight, he quickly stood up while dusting his face off.
"Huh! What happened?!" Champa shouted.
Then, Vados appeared while Sasine was standing behind her, out of sight of Champa. "Oh my, did I startle you, my Lord?" Vados asked the God of Destruction.
"Hey, Vados!" Champa shouted as he ran up to his angel attendant. "Why all that ruckus, you scared me to death!" Champa shouted angrily.
"Apologies my Lord, but I just had to make a quick trip to planet Sadal," Vados explained.
Champa then puts his hands in his sides and narrowed his eyes. "Ah yes, you still haven't told me why you brought a mere mortal to the realm of the God of Destruction. I demand to know the truth Vados," Champa told her.
Just when Vados tried to speak up, Sasine then walked up and bowed down to Champa on her knees to the ground. "Greetings Lord Champa, it is truly a pleasure to meet a deity of your caliber. Please forgive Vados, she brought me here to help you out. I am called Sasine, and I am here for my task to win your acceptance for my journey," Sasine explained honorably.
Champa looked closely at Sasine bowing on the ground and then started picking his teeth. "Hmmm… at least you talk like a respectful mortal towards a God. If Vados brought you here, then I guess you have good reasons. Fine then, go ahead, but I warn you that you put your life on the line for a simple favor," Champa explained.
"I am fully aware and I won't fail no matter what," Sasine told him confidently.
"Okay then, I accept your visit to my planet. You can stand up now, and go with Vados, she will take care of the rest," Champa said when he then turned his back and walked away towards his hang mat.
He yawned deeply and raised his hand. "Good luck… and hopefully, you can be of great use if you survive," Champa told her.
Sasine then stood up and saw Champa walking away, at the same time, scratching his butt cheek, then laying down in his hang mat and sleeping once again.
"Well then Sasine, let us begin," Vados said when she raised her staff and both she and Sasine were transported to an unknown place.
The room was dark, both couldn't see where they were and looked around.
"I can't see anything, can you turn on a light please Vados?" Sasine asked.
Vados waved her staff and a light turned on. When Sasine looked around, she was in the kitchen of the God of Destruction. With ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, and a sink only meant for gods in their sight. Sasine had never seen such a beautiful kitchen before and marbled at the place, with many different ingredients on the table, from salt and pepper to different kinds of vegetables and meat.
"This is beautiful, Vados is this…" Sasine said when suddenly, Vados beams her a chef's outfit and puts an apron on herself while she relinquished her staff away.
"Your task will begin right away. Together, we will cook a delicious and healthy meal for Lord Champa. Tell me, what did you have in mind to cook?" Vados asked of the mortal.
"Oh, straight to business? Okay so first…" Sasine said when she clears her through and showed a confident look. "What is it that Lord Champa likes to eat often, then I can get some ideas on how to make it healthier and tastier at the same time," Sasine asked of the angel.
"Okay, I got several recipes to look at, let's start with those and work up the ladder," Vados said when she showed Sasine a list of recipes and ingredients.
Hyperspace to Universe 11
Hit was in his spaceship on his way to Universe 11. Exiting hyperspace, Hit's ship arrived in the edges of space from a different universe. Automatically due to Manu's instructions, the spaceship went immediately for Universe 11's high max security prison, Zalabasta Penitentiary.
Once arrived, the spaceship hovered above the prison and saw it burning down due to the intense riot still going on. Dodging the heat of the fire from the huge building, Hit looked outside and watched everyone fight their heart out to escape.
"All inmates fighting for freedom, once they realize what it means, they will go back to prison out of themselves," Hit said to himself.
Hit opened the window of the ship and stood up from his chair. "Time to get to work," Hit said when he puts his hands in his pocket and closed his eyes.
"Good luck sir," Manu said.
Hit let himself fall from his ship, and with a quick Timeskip, the area got surrounded in a light blue and greenish sphere, making Hit disappear into thin air.
Somewhere else close to the Open area
Meanwhile, Necros, together with Chikara were still waiting on their missing partner, Juki, to finally arrive for their mission to begin. Both were getting impatient as it was taking way too long to finally arrive.
"Urgh… hey, wizard, Juki was supposed to be here and we have been waiting for at least an hour! I am completely lost on what to do," Chikara shouted.
"I am getting impatient as well, maybe it's best if we go on without him," Necros said as he turned around together with Chikara.
Then they heard a sudden voice from behind. "Leaving so soon fellas?" the unknown person said.
Necros and Chikara heard the voice, and it was a voice they have never heard before. They were on guard and kept their strength intact. As they turned around, they saw the one who called them out. It was a man covered in protective armor while he kept his weapons on his back, on his utility belt, and his limbs. Wearing a black and blue helmet a black suit and blue boots and gloves.
Walking out of the darkness, the man held a machine gun in his hand while he walked towards Necros and Chikara. They both weren't aware of who the man was.
"Who are you, stranger?" Necros asked.
"Juki? Is that your brother? Why does your voice sound so different than before? When you said that you were going to get your weapons, I didn't think you would look like an army dude!" Chikara asked.
"Chikara, that is because I told you what I can do, but not who I truly am. But if you would like to know…" Juki said as Necros then interrupted him.
"Now I recognize you, your name already sounded familiar to me, but there could be no way that you are him," Necros said.
Chikara then curiously looked at the magician. "Wait, you know Juki already magician? I thought you met in prison, you met him before?" he asked curiously.
"I have never met him before, but his name, it was his name that kept me on edge. And now that I see you, I now finally know who you are," Necros said.
Juki then kept walking towards them and finally put his machine gun in his utility belt holster. Necros kept his eyes narrowed and continued his speech.
"I finally meet the famous mercenary of Universe 11 that only met his demise at the strongest Pride Trooper ever known. No one knew his real name, only a select few know him as Juki Nosenmonka, his real name. But as a mercenary, he goes by the name: Deathwish, the mercenary who mastered almost every weapon he has come in contact with went," Necros explained.
"Deathwish the Legendary Mercenary! No way, I thought he was only a myth. People told me about the best mercenary and weapons expert in the universe, but it sounded too unbelievable to be true!" Chikara said shockingly.
"My reputation proceeds me. I had no reason to reveal my true identity. Anyways, I am a man of my word, and for now, I will help you and the magician to get rid of that assassin. Afterward, I go my own way, and who knows, you two might be my new enemies," Juki told them menacingly.
Necros and Chikara only nod as Juki, known as Deathwish, approached them to finally continue their mission.
"Congrats, you all managed to gather for just one person," Another unknown voice told them.
Necros and Chikara looked around in the area and tried to find the other assailant that called them out. Chikara was confused, but Necros knew that voice.
"Hit, you came back after you left so abruptly," Necros said.
Deathwish then looked at Necros. "So, that voice comes from Hit? Interesting, he might be a fun opponent to go up against," Deathwish said when he then called the assassin out. "Necros told me about you Hit. He wants to get rid of you before he starts his plans. So how about you show yourself so that we can get the party started?" Deathwish asked.
"Didn't you know Juki? Assassins are shy and don't show themselves that easily," Hit said mockingly.
Deathwish then only chuckled, grabbed a sniper rifle from his back, and set its aim right on. He only looked around the area to find the assassin. "So, you know who I am as well? Then I guess this should be a fun fight, don't you think so Hit? The Assassin and the Lethal Mercenary!" Deathwish said when he scanned the area, but he couldn't find him anyways.
Meanwhile, Hit was hiding at a tall building far above them and observed their movement. As Hit was watching then, Deathwish still looked around, and at a window of a house, Deathwish shot at the window, only for the bullet to bounce off and far into the sky, to which it traveled towards the same building Hit was standing. With only his, index finger and thumb, Hit caught the bullet with ease.
"Interesting, he uses special bullets for extremely powerful beings. As Manu said, he knows how to be lethal," Hit said when he crushed the bullet with his fingers and vanished.
Down below, Deathwish puts his sniper away as Hit decided to confront the three criminals himself. Without tricks or illusions. Still holding his hands in his pocket, Hit, with narrowed eyes, was right in front of the three.
"Necros, it seems like you got some capable warriors on your side. Knowing you can't beat me on your own, you needed their help, am I right?" Hit asked.
"No shame in asking for help, but after we dealt with you, we will go for the Pride Troopers!" Necros told him.
"That is why you escaped prison, unfortunately, there is still a contract on your head. Whether or not your two lapdogs want to cut in, is fine by me," Hit told him.
"You won't talk that tough for what I have in store for you. Chikara, take him out!" Necros told the criminal.
"I am on it!" Chikara shouted when he brutally charged the assassin head-on.
Hit was without any fear in his eyes and calmly awaited his opponent. When Chikara went in with a strong punch, Hit only looked at him, and without his opponent realizing it, activated his special technique, the Timeskip. Hit moved with great speed and hit several of Chikara's vital points in his neck, stunning him from the intense pain.
"Ooooh!" Chikara shouted as he grabbed his neck and backed away. "What the… how did you do that?! You didn't even move!" he shouted.
"Chikara didn't you listen to what I said! With the Timeskip, Hit can go 0.1 seconds in time!" Necros shouted.
"I can go much further, but 0.1 seconds is more than enough for you three," Hit replied.
Then suddenly, another shot was heard next to Necros. Deathwish used his machine gun and aimed for Hit, who made the bullet go right through him. Then, Hit punched Chikara in the face, launching him right through a building.
"Graaahh!" Chikara shouted in pain.
Deathwish puts his palm on his forehead and walked in front of Necros. "Necros, just let me take care of him, he ain't nothing special," Deathwish said.
Necros only looked at Juki and didn't speak up. Then, Juki whispered. "Just make sure you are ready for my signal, then you use that spell you were working on in prison," Juki told him as he then finally walked towards the assassin.
Hit walked up to Deathwish, and the two were face to face. Staring at each other with intensity to kill.
"You think you can take someone like me? You never met anyone like me, my aim together with my weapons expertise, you won't stand a chance," Deathwish asked.
"Do you always talk this much about yourself?" Hit told the mercenary.
Then in a quick flash, Deathwish to shoot Hit, but the bullet once again went right through him, and the fight between Hit and Deathwish had begun.
Universe 6, Champa's planet.
Just like before, The God of Destruction from Universe 6, Champa, was sleeping in his hang mat once again. Peacefully in his garden and the lake next to it, Champa slowly opened his eyes and yawned deeply. He noticed that another bright light was coming right towards him. He prepared himself for what was about to come.
"It appears Vados and that mortal have finished their task, now to see what they will come up with. Better be worth my while," Champa said impatiently.
Then, the bright light shined from the sky indeed revealed to be Vados and Sasine, who came back with a rolling cart in the middle. Sasine and Vados were next to the cart and with it, they walked up to Lord Champa.
"I hope you didn't waste any time while I was asleep!" Champa said annoyed.
"Not at all my Lord, we used our time just perfectly fine, and I think you will enjoy what we have here," Vados said happily as she then turned towards Sasine. "Are you sure it's good? Champa has kind of a temper and when he gets something he won't like, he will probably destroy something just to blow off some steam," Vados asked.
"Trust me, we did it just like how I always do it and he will love it. I am sure of it," Sasine said.
Vados then only nods and walked upfront. "Lord Champa, it took us a while, but thanks to our mortal friend here, I managed to create the perfect nutritious meal that you can never resist. Just have a good look over here," Vados said.
She removed the cover of the meal and finally showed it. It was an entire feast only for Champa. He looked on the plate, but the food he saw didn't look like anything special. Champa grabbed a roll on the place and squeezed it.
"Vados, what is all of this? What did you do?" Champa asked suspiciously.
"My Lord just gives it a try, I am sure you will like it," Vados told him.
"No thanks, I rather not get cramps in my stomach, I am going back to sleep," Champa said when he walked away from them.
Sasine then sighs deeply as she grabbed some of the food off the plate and ran right towards Champa. She grabbed his shoulder. "Sir…" Sasine said as Champa then turned around.
"What do you w…" Champa said when suddenly, Sasine shoved the food right in his mouth.
"Oh my…" Vados said surprised.
"Why you little, you will pay for…" Champa shouted angrily when he started chewing the food.
As he was eating, his anger slowly disappeared as he started eating the meal Vados and Sasine gave him. He couldn't believe it, it was like he was in a whole other world of taste. He looked at the rest of the food and chowed down like a beast, decimating the entire plate in several seconds.
Licking the plates clean, Champa tried to keep his composure, but couldn't resist loving it in the end.
"That was truly amazing! Did you do that mortal! You can be my cook when I summon you! Now get to work and get me some more!" Champa ordered Sasine, but she quickly replied.
"I am glad you liked it Lord Champa, but I only acted as an advisor, Vados is the one that made this meal. You should thank her," Sasine said.
Champa got shocked greatly and crossed his arms. "What?! Vados made this! She can't cook a meal to save her life! You must be joking!" Champa told her.
Sasine then looked at Vados. "Remember our backup plan? Well, now is the time," Sasine said.
"Way ahead of you," Vados said when she used her staff to materialize another meal.
This time, the meal she made was something very different. Floating right in front of Champa was another plate of pasta with cheese on top of it.
"Here you go my Lord, I made this meal in case you needed some more convincing proof. Go ahead, and it is also extremely healthy," Vados explained.
"You made this Vados? No thanks, I…" Champa said as Sasine grabbed the pasta once again and stood right in front of Champa with an angered look on her face.
Champa started to sweat just a little and decided to go with it anyways. "Alright alright fine, just give it here!" Champa said as he ate the pasta.
Eating, he once again got the same feeling as before. "This tastes good! Vados made this, mortal?" Champa asked Sasine.
"Yes, I didn't do anything, I only gave her advice on how to make your meals tastier. That is why I am here, to help you eat healthier. On Planet Sunakku, am I currently a florist, but before I got my shop, I used to be a professional cook in a homeless shelter. I practiced all day to give the homeless a nice meal and eventually, it all goes natural," Sasine explained.
"Hmmm…" Champa mumbled as he looked at Vados. "Vados, you did a great job, I will keep this mortal alive, for the good she brought with her. I am very impressed with this one," he told her.
Vados only smiled with a quick bow. "Of course my Lord, I am grateful as well," Vados said as she then looked at Sasine. "It seems like your mission has been accomplished," Vados told her happily.
Champa then approached Sasine with his hands behind his back. "You came here with a task, and you passed with flying colors. Tell me, what is your name again?" Champa asked.
"My name is Sasine, Lord Champa, from Planet Sunakku, I think..." Sasine replied.
"Planet Sunakku, Vados, remind me to visit that planet if they have more food like what you and Sasine made. It might even be better than Beerus' Earth food. Finally a chance to rub it in against my brother that the 6th Universe's food is more delicious than the 7th hahaha!" Champa said sinisterly.
"Lord Champa, aren't you forgetting something?" Vados asked.
"Oh, yeah right, her wish. Tell me, Sasine, what is it exactly that you desire? It better not be something too demanding," Champa asked.
"Lord Champa, I came asking for your help to find the Legendary Assassin, Hit," Sasine explained.
"You are looking for Hit? I didn't know Hit had any acquaintances, he keeps his personal life more a secret than himself. What do you need Hit for?" Champa said.
"My Lord, Sasine suffers from amnesia and she believes that her past is somehow connected to Hit. She possesses the same ability as he does, the Timeskip Technique. However, she cannot control it and seeks his guidance," Vados explained.
"I see… Vados, do the thing with Sasine before we continue. I need some… confirmation of my part," Champa said.
"Give me a second, my Lord," Vados said as she reactivated her staff.
She closed one eye and looked in her crystal ball. She kept looking closely and suddenly looked very shocked to see what her crystal ball showed her. Finally, she finished and then walked up to Lord Champa.
"Lord Champ, I did exactly as you asked, and we should send Sasine to Hit. She proved her worth, so this is the least we can do as a thank you for her service," Vados said.
"I agree, alright Sasine, Vados is going to make sure you see Hit wherever he is. She is going to give you a spaceship to see him," Champa said.
"Oh, I already have one, the thing is, I forgot it at Planet Sadal and it cannot travel to other universes. Dr. Furry didn't finish that project yet," Sasine said.
"No problem," Vados said when she used her staff to bring Sasine's spaceship to Champa's planet. "There you go," Vados told her as she used her magic to upgrade her entire ship.
It looked bigger than before and much more high-tech than when Dr. Furry made it. She then looked at Sasine.
"I searched for Hit's next destination, he is currently on his next contract, but the problem is, it's in another universe. He is using the same spaceship I modified for him for fighting in the Tournament of Power. With this ship, you can travel through universes, and it is easier to fly than before, you only need a couple of button combinations and you are done. But beware, you are only allowed to travel to other universes if we, the Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kai's are aware of it. The other Gods of Destruction might not like intruders, and unlike Lord Beerus from universe 7, Lord Belmond from universe 11 is not that strict on visitors. The Kais are strict as well so beware, and contact us if you go off course," Vados explained.
"Okay, I won't make this a habit, I swear. Thank you so much for your help Lord Champa, Lord Vados. I have a long journey, so it's best if I go my own way," Sasine said when she bowed to both the deities went immediately to her modified spaceship.
"Hold on just a moment," Vados said when she waved her staff and materialized something specifically for Sasine.
It was a small white box with a red button in the middle of it. Sasine was granted this box and looked closely at it.
"What exactly is this Vados? Food supplies?" Sasine asked.
"Not at all. This box contains something special that you need on your journey. But be warned, do not open it before you met with Hit, and only open it after the meeting. You mustn't open it at all costs. You will know when the time is right," Vados warned her.
"Alright, thanks a lot Vados, for all your help. You don't have to worry. I will continue my journey," Sasine told them.
She rose in the sky, and flew right off of Champa's planet, into deep space. While traveling through space, she entered hyperspace and went right towards Universe 11. Meanwhile, on Champa's planet, Champa puts his arms crossed and looked at Vados.
"Vados, did you do what I told you before she left?" Champa asked.
"But of course my Lord, I looked into her past, her personality, and in the future. I have seen some very interesting and intriguing things that will happen when she and Hit finally meet. She will be in for a huge surprise when it finally happens," Vados explained.
"The thing you saw, will she be useful to us in the future?" Champa asked.
"We will see if everything I saw will play out the same way, after that well… let's just say that the plot thickens," Vados said suspiciously.
"Hey, another thing, what exactly was in that box you gave her?" Champa asked.
"Something that she needs in the future, it was one of the things I foresaw and something that will define her true character," Vados explained.
"Now, I guess we should just wait then, I am going back to sleep," Champa said while yawning.
Vados looked at Champa who once again went to sleep and looked above her in the sky.
Universe 11, Abandoned City not far from Zalabasta
Back in the city which was abandoned by its citizens, several buildings were getting destroyed in a huge battle. Through one of the houses, Hit flew right through it with his hands in his pocket, followed by Deathwish who went after him with his machine guns. As the two were in mid-air, Deathwish sent several shots towards Hit, but they easily went through them using his time skip.
"When will you realize it won't work Juki," Hit asked.
"Are you sure about that?" Deathwish asked.
They both ended up standing on the ground next to the rubble of their battle. Hit slowly walked over to Deathwish while the mercenary was scanning at Hit.
"You are good Assassin, but there is a lot you don't know about me," Deathwish told him.
"Enlighten me," Hit told him.
Deathwish then grabbed a small remote from his sleeve, showing a red button in the middle. Hit only narrowed his eyes.
"Surprise!" Deathwish said as he pushed the button.
From where Hit was standing, several bombs on the ground exploded. Hit looked down and the explosion engulfed him in fire and smoke. Juki jumped far back from the explosion.
"It would be too bad if he got beaten that easily," Deathwish said as he looked on his left and right. "Good, Necros and Chikara did what I told them," Deathwish thought to himself. "That was only to test out his abilities because just like me, Hit tests his opponent before fighting them as well," Deathwish said when he pointed at the smokescreen.
In the middle was a figure standing still. Slowly vanishing, Hit was casually standing as nothing had happened.
"That's true, then I guess you are not as much of an amateur as I thought, not like some other young people," Hit told them.
"You do know I am older than I look," Deathwish said.
"Are you over 1000 years old?" Hit asked.
"Over 500 but enough experience to take you down," Deathwish said when he grabbed a sword from his back and pointed it right at him. "I am done testing you, what about you?" Juki asked.
"I never even started," Hit replied.
"Ohohoh, snarky, I like that attitude. Just you and me! Come on!" Deathwish shouted when he threw his sword towards Hit.
The assassin only turned his head to the right and avoided the sword throw, only for Deathwish to charge his fist. The Assassin fought the Mercenary head-on. Hit was dodging all of his punches with ease. As Deathwish was charging, he grabbed a knife from his leg and went with it with multiple stabs. Hit tried to block it with his hand, but as he tried to block it, the knife suddenly managed to cut him.
Hit jumped back and looked at his hand. "Hmm…" Hit mumbled.
"Surprised that weapons can hurt you?" Deathwish asked as he grabbed several guns from his belt and emptied them to showcase the bullets. "My trusted arsenal is equipped with one of the strongest bullets ever created. It is sure to take out any powerful creature, no matter how strong they are. In other words, I hope your Timeskip never runs into trouble, because without it, you won't survive me. Now Necros!" Deathwish shouted.
Hit quickly looked around and noticed Necros standing right behind him. The magician had his hands glowing in green magic as he was chanting his spell.
"This is the spell! Time of Nothingness!" Necros shouted.
Just at the moment when Hit wanted to use his Timeskip, Chikara came falling from the sky and held Hit from behind in a wrestling position, negating his effect of using his powerful technique. It caught Hit by surprise, and unfortunately, it was too late.
Necros' magic made contact with Hit and completely stunned him, making his entire body glow green. "Daaaaahhh!" Hit shouted.
From his body, they could all see that the Timeskip was shortcircuiting him, as it left his body like a blue type of aura into nothingness. Necros' spell had finished and Hit was paralyzed on the ground. Chikara let go of the Assassin and Hit fell right on the ground, not moving a muscle.
His eyes were twitching as he couldn't move anymore. Necros, Deathwish, and Chikara looked over Hit, beaten and with no Timeskip.
"Aw, look at the powerful killer, laying on the ground, waiting for the final blow," Chikara said.
"That it would be this easy was never expected. Go on Necros, I am finished, get on with it and kill him," Deathwish told the magician as he looked at his comrades and nodded.
He raised his arms and went on with his spell of death, showing black magic on his hands. "Death Sentence!" Necros shouted as he shot his magic right towards Hit.
Hit couldn't move anymore and had no way to defend himself. The black magic was gaining fast and almost made direct contact. But then, something miraculous happened, Necros' black magic spell went once again, right through Hit, like he became intangible again.
From Hit's perspective, the area became a greenish tint again, he quickly managed to get up off the ground and skip over time, making his opponent freeze for a slight second. In between the freeze, Hit dealt several heavy vital shots at all three of his opponents all over their body in a short amount of time.
When the Timeskip was over, Chikara, Necros, and Deathwish all got greatly damaged and fell far back while blood was spitting from their mouth. They all fell on the ground and looked right in front of them. Hit was just fine, only his hand was still bleeding as he watched them with killing intent.
"Ooohhh!" Chikara shouted
"What! But that is impossible! I made sure your Timeskip wouldn't work anymore! It can't be!" Necros shouted.
"Magician, what the hell happened, your spell should have prevented him from using Timeskip!" Deathwish shouted.
Hit looked at them and decided to give them an explanation. "Necros' spell worked just fine, and I did lose my time skip, but that was only for 30 seconds, after that, I regained it back. There is no way you amateurs can beat someone like me," Hit explained.
"What! Damn you Necros you idiot, that spell should have made his technique disappear for good. What the hell!" Deathwish shouted.
"I don't understand, I had practiced this spell every day, there is no way that could have failed, it must be something else, something I haven't found out yet," Necros said.
"It is indeed something else. The Timeskip Technique holds many secrets to which I have mastered and realized, and it is a technique only a select few are allowed to wield, I am one of them. But to make something clear, you will never be able to get rid of my Timeskip. No magic can do such work, there are only two specific ways and both of those ways are impossible for you to accomplish. In other words, my Timeskip is forever," Hit told them.
Deathwish only narrowed his eyes and then quickly nodded at Necros. "We need a new plan, follow my lead," Deathwish quickly told Necros as he jumped off the ground and tried to shoot Hit once again, but just like before, the bullets went right through Hit, using his technique.
At that point, Necros quickly waved his hands and both Chikara and Deathwish vanished together with Necros into thin air. Hit only kept watching the same spot. "I'll give them one more chance, they already failed twice, if they fail again, then they will die," Hit said coldly as he then looked at his hands.
Then behind him at the bullets, Juki used from before. He saw that the bullets were shining platinum.
"Still, I admit that Juki's bullets are not to be underestimated, these bullets are no ordinary ammunition, they are indeed designed to take out the most powerful beings. This means that I have to stay on guard even more," Hit said to himself as he watched around the area. "I'll figure out a way to fight them more effectively when I meet them. Especially Juki, right now, he is the most lethal of the three," Hit explained.
Universe 11, Exiting hyperspace.
Inside the spaceship, Sasine was flying at the speed of sound right towards Hit's location on the planet where the high-security prison, Zalabasta, was located.
"Aaaahhhh!" Sasine shouted from the extreme speed.
Finally, she entered the atmosphere of the planet and flew fast down, but as she was gaining the surface fast, the ship made a smooth and simple landing. For Sasine, it was a bit of a rush, but she was unharmed.
She coughed for several seconds and composed herself.
"I am alright, at least I hope so. I have to learn to control this spaceship, it's even faster now that Vados upgraded it," Sasine said.
The woman then looked around her area and noticed that there was absolutely no one to be found, it was completely abandoned, as were the buildings.
"This is where Champa and Vados sent me, this is where Hit is, I must find him," Sasine said when she puts the ship away and went on her way to find the Assassin.
Looking all over the area and the street, she couldn't find the killer anymore. Eventually even got tired of searching. She decided to take some rest and sit down before continuing.
"This planet looks very dangerous, but I have to keep going," Sasine said as she stood up off the ground and searched once again.
After several minutes of searching, Sasine found something odd. She noticed that the buildings were destroyed in the area. The woman decided to walk around to see what exactly happened.
"My gosh, it seems like a huge fight broke out here," Sasine said when she walked around the wreckage.
Meanwhile, as Hit was somewhere else, still recalling his recent battle, the Assassin suddenly felt a weird energy signal. For him, it was something he had not felt for hundreds of years.
"This energy… That's impossible," Hit mumbled when he suddenly vanished.
Back at Sasine, she stopped walking and looked around the area. She didn't know where to go at this point. As the woman stood still, she suddenly got the feeling someone was standing right behind her. Sasine got nervous by the second and slowly decided to turn around, only to see a tall purple humanoid with his hands in his pocket, standing behind her.
"Aaahh!" Sasine shouted when she ran away from the man to take some distance.
Hit, who discovered Sasine's location, only kept watching her with his intense look in his expression. He didn't say a single word and stood there like a statue. Sasine tried to compose herself and saw Hit standing right there.
"That's him, The Assassin, Hit. But…" Sasine said nervously as she swallowed spit and sacredly stepped back. "I can feel some type of pressure, a lethal pressure that's making my skin crawl," Sasine said frightened.
Then, out of nowhere, Hit only walked slowly towards the woman. Sasine got more and more frightened because the pressure was getting to her.
"Uhm… Sir, if I may… I uuhh… I," Sasine mumbled frighteningly from the assassin.
Still, she couldn't get her words together and only got more scared the closer Hit came. On the way, Hit's eyes started narrowing as well. Sasine stepped back until she finally turned around and ran away.
"I can't do this, he's… just too scary. I don't want to die yet!" Sasine said as she ran away.
She ran away from the area, leaving Hit behind in the area of the rubble where his fight had happened. Hit was standing still, only to vanish into thin air.
Meanwhile, Sasine was running through alleyways and the streets to get away from the dangerous assassin. While sweating from fear, she quickly tried to get a hold of her remote control for her ship, granted by Dr. Furry and modified by Vados. But her nerves made her unable to hold on to the spaceship's remote control.
"Damn it, me and my big mouth, trying to find a dangerous Assassin out here in another universe. What was I thinking? Stupid, stupid stupid! Maybe I can still get home and he won't follow me," Sasine said to herself.
"So, it appears that you were looking for me from another universe. I am guessing Lord Champa and Vados brought you here," an echoing voice sounded over the area.
Sasine looked around but she didn't see where the voice came from. She knew it was Hit's voice.
"W-What is going on?!" Sasine said as she started running faster.
She then went around the corner and saw a small alley. It was her only option at the moment to hide until the coast was clear. Sasine was gasping for air, running for her life.
"That was close, if only I can get this spaceship out, then I can go home again. I just have to live with this technique to fade in and out of existence, I am sure I'll be fine," Sasine said to herself.
Out of nowhere, Hit reappeared right in front of Sasine, as they both stood tall at the same height with Hit starring her down with his eyes. Sasine was stunned from fear, she didn't know what to do, only to look back at the assassin.
"Oh no… There's nowhere to run…" Sasine said frightened. "Mr. Hit I… Please don't kill me, I am just a woman and…" Sasine begged as Hit interrupted her.
"You are not even supposed to be alive," Hit told her.
Sasine widely opened her eyes and replied. "Wait, not alive? Do you… know me for some reason Mr. Hit?" Sasine asked.
"Know you…" Hit said as he then continued. "I have experienced you, and to my knowledge, you are supposed to be dead," Hit told her.
"I am dead? I feel very much alive. Mr. Hit," Sasine said. "Uhm… Can you tell me why you think I am supposed to be dead? Are you in a way familiar with me, my past, and more? Am I named Sasine? Do you know me? Please, tell me what you know about me!" Sasine asked desperately.
"Hmmm…" Hit mumbled as he then approached the woman slowly
Sasine only got a bit more nervous as Hit walked up to her. "You don't know who you are, and you seem to be scared of me. Something's not right about you," Hit said when he stood right in front of Sasine.
He then grabbed her head. "Don't move," Hit said when he moved Sasine's white hair to the side and noticed a medium-sized scar on her head. "That scar, now I understand. You don't know where you got it from?" Hit said.
"No, I don't remember, it has always been there. What is it that you understand? Tell me everything! I want to know who I am!" Sasine demanded the assassin.
"It appears you are suffering from amnesia. You lost your memories from the past, and you do not remember who you are. Seeing me somehow made you realize there is more to you than you know, and you are right to think so," Hit explained.
"So, who exactly am I?" Sasine asked.
"Your name is Sasine, and you originate from Planet Koroshi. You are the fourth highly-skilled Assassin who possesses the ability to use a rare technique known as the Timeskip. I am the fifth known user in history," Hit told her.
This came as the biggest shock Sasine had ever witnessed. Finally, she found out that the past she couldn't remember, intertwined with that of the Legendary Assassin of Universe 6.
