The light eventually subsided from the space. Karrotta opened her eyes once more and noticed her new surroundings.

The Great Ape was now in a vast field somewhere. The skies were a clear blue, sun shining down on the earth below, and green as far as the eye can see. The wind hitting her fur was a cool breeze. Not too cold, but just enough to make her shiver. She breathed in the air of this world. The smell. The taste. It was sweet.

"What is this place?" Karrotta wondered.

"Earth."

To Karrotta's right. There was Silver. They were the exact same size now. Silver looked out at the endless horizon before her, admiring the vale ahead.

"Beautiful, isn't it? It's a real upgrade from our world. Planet Vegeta was always a barren wasteland of a planet. Earth… Well, it's not perfect, but compared to our home. It's like a paradise." She spoke to her other half.

Gokuzuki knelt down, feeling the grass with her hands.

"The air, the plants, the animals and people. I fell in love with it all. I couldn't let it all be destroyed. Especially him."

Karrotta then saw a man standing in the distance. He turned to face both the girl and the ape, and smiled warmly at them both.

"Is that him?" Karrotta asked.

"Mhm. That's Ragna." Silver replied happily.

Ragna began to disappear before them. Silver's heart ached at the sight of it.

"Ragna saved my life when I first came to Earth. He accepted me for who I am, when none of my people ever did. Instead of a dirty monster who shouldn't have been born, he just saw a girl who needed someone… Someone to just smile at her."

Tears streamed down Silver's face just thinking about those memories. When they first met, training together, their first kiss… other firsts.

"And it wasn't just Ragna. There were other reasons why I love this planet. Master Jubei, my foster parents, the people, sights, food, music, literature, art, and animals. Mostly the food. Earth is unlike any world before, and if I can protect it from destruction. That's how I can truly repay it for the kindness it showed me."

Silver turned to face Karrotta.

"But with such an opponent in front of me, I can't do it, especially if I keep pushing you away. If we work together, we can beat her."

She held her hand out to the ape.

"So please, Karrotta. Help me protect my home."

"…"

…

*The Outside World*

…

The night sky above roared with the sound of thunder, clouds circling around a particular area. The winds howling and slicing through the dead trees. And with a flash, lightning struck the earth below as if God was to smite down a sinner.

This was not divine wrath, however. This was Rachel's handy work. She was using everything in her arsenal to bring down Izanami before her. Rachel's Drive was called Silpheed. It was a drive that gave her the power of aerokenisis. A simple power, yet effective, because wind can also generate electricity through atmospheric pressure, creating lightning.

Rachel waved her arms like a conductor commanding an orchestra, purple lightning descending from the heavens above, striking down everything in their wake. The specific target was Izanami, who was easily dodging the lightning attack. Even though her body could regenerate, her instincts commanded her to dodge the attacks none the less.

The attack Rachel was using was her Sword Iris technique. Though it was a rather fast move, it wasn't quite powerful enough to bring down Hades. Which meant she needed to pull out her reserves.

"Nago!" Rachel called out.

"As you command, Princess!" Nago complied.

Nago, Rachel's talking black cat, had the ability to shape-shift. He was currently in the form of an umbrella, but he began to morph again into a cape. Rachel spread out her arms and the cape, then began to chant.

"Fire in the sky, to me! BADEN-BADEN LILY!!!"

The sky glowed with purple light, a giant bolt of lightning fell from the clouds and struck the earth with a mighty crash. Izanami was caught within it. Her body seized within the electric blast, muscles contorting and eyes rolled up into her head. Izanami could feel her organs being roasted from the inside, the pain was unbearable. Yet, if only seemed to please Izanami as she laughed while being fried alive.

Once the bolt subsided, Izanami pulled back her long purple hair from her face and smiled sadistically. With a snap of her fingers, three purple orbs of metal appeared around her.

"CASTAWAY!!!"

The orbs raced towards Rachel at breaking speeds. Their centers opened up and revealed guns within. They would fire once they had closed in on the vampiric princess. Rachel, luckily, knew how to deal with them. Nago changed again into the form of a black raincoat as Alucard called forth powerful winds from all around her. They kept getting stronger and stronger, capturing multiple pieces of debris within their current, phone polls, cars, dumpsters, whatever was within the ghost town.

"Wind, I summon you! TEMPEST DAHLIA!!!"

Rachel directed the storm at Izanami. All the debris being carried by the wind. The orbs Izanami summoned were also caught up within it, becoming more debris. Izanami herself was also caught within the storm. She was ravaged by the winds and flying junk striking her body. The winds soon faded, dropping all the garbage Rachel threw at her opponent. Hades was buried within a mountain of debris, one no normal person could survive being buried under.

Rachel merely gazed at her creation in distain. She highly doubted this was enough to kill Izanami.

And she was right. A laser was fired out of the trash pile and was zooming towards the vampire. Gii, the red bat, began freaking out about the beam.

"Look out, Princess! If that thing hits you then you're done for! We'll have to throw you a wake after the funeral where Ragna would probably turn into a roast about attitude problems and have everybody laughing at you instead of feeling sad by the fact that you got beat by such a weak looking atta- GAH! Whatareyoudoing- BLYAhaHaAHahaHAhAAAAA!"

She grabbed Gii by the throat and used his like a human shield against the shot. Gii was electrocuted as a result and was left as a black, charred mess.

"You blocked that well."

From the bottom of the trash mountain, Izanami was crawling her way out, arms and legs contorted and twisted while she moved, as if she were possessed by a demon. Her bones quickly began to heal and gashes in her flesh closed instantly. Once she was fully healed. Izanami floated up into the air to the same level as Rachel.

"Rachel Alucard, despite your weakened state, your power is nothing scoff at. I commend you for putting on such a performance." Izanami complimented.

"Oww… Why did you do that to me, Princess..?" Gii moaned in agony.

"What an idiot… He was practically asking for it that time." Nago commented on Gii's poor choice of words and timing.

Rachel tossed Gii aside like a pillow and Nago changed back into an umbrella.

And you, Hades, are as monstrous as ever. As per usual, none of my abilities seem to affect you." She admitted.

"Then why continue this struggle. Surrender, and welcome death." Izanami replied.

"What would be the point of that? This dance is only just beginning."

Izanami then felt something moving on her back. It felt slimy. She looked behind her and saw a large green frog clinging to her.

"Oh George, do be a lamb."

The frog chirped, then lit up with powerful electricity and it surged through Izanami's whole body. Rachel smirked in confidence. This was her strategy in action.

'While Izanami was being bombarded by my Tempest Dahlia, I called upon George XIII and slipped him into the winds of the tempest. She didn't even detect him due how much debris was hitting her.'

Izanami grabbed George off her back and threw him into the air.

"I'm a lamb." George croaked happily before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

"Resorting to using your little pets to fight your battles?" Izanami mockingly asked.

"No, I am merely using situations that serve in my favor to my advantage. It is not my fault you fell for such a trick." Rachel answered.

"Even so, your efforts will matter little, if any at all. I cannot be defeated." Izanami boldly stated.

"Are you quite sure? You truly believe you are winning?"

Izanami cackled. Her eyes began to go totally black and her grin became toothier than an evil clown. A black substance oozed from her eyes as she giggled insanely.

"Oh, I know I am. And I will with this final blow!"

She flew high into the sky and the entire space around Rachel went dark. The buildings vanish and all that was left was an empty void. Izanami hovered high above Alucard and waved her arms around like she was casting a spell. Suddenly, multiple gigantic purple skull manifested around Izanami, screaming in agony for help. They were like tormented souls, being ravaged for Hades's delight.

"You lost this battle the moment you refused to kneel before me. Now, you will pay for that choice, Rachel Alucard."

Izanami's voice began distorted and almost demonic. Rachel gazed up at Izanami with an emotionless expression.

"Our dance ends now. With this final blow, I cast you down…"

"Into…"

"ETERNAL DARKNESS!!!"

Hades dove down. The giant skulls in toe. This was the mightiest attack in her arsenal. Victory was assured once she uses it against her opponents. However, Rachel was no ordinary foe.

"Now releasing Ars Magus restraint systems. Dimensional boundary interface link deploy. Engaging 'Absolute Defense' protocol."

The vampire began chanting a strange command. Suddenly, a golden light began to shine above her. It quickly started taking shape, taking on a crest-like formation of a ginormous size. Izanami had her trump card, Rachel had hers.

"Tsukuyomi Unit, activate!"

The Tsukuyomi Unit. One of the Sankishin that protects time. The shield that utilizes the ultimate defense against all forces. The mightiest spear of all couldn't pierce this godly defense.

"How many time shall you deploy the Tsukuyomi given your current condition, Rachel Alucard?! It is pointless!" Laughed Izanami.

"Pointless? We shall see. Come at me!"

This would decide the victor. Which would prevail? The shield, or the spear? Only fate will be able to-

"Get!"

Or maybe not.

A mass of black energy flew right by Rachel, nearly plowing into the vampire. Alucard was surprised by the sudden appearance, and it wasn't slowing down its pace. It was heading right for the Tsukuyomi, and Izanami!

"The FUUUUUUUUCK!"

The mass crashed right into the crest, cracking it upon impact.

"Out of my way! YOU DAMN RABBIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!"

And with one, titanic strike, the Tsukuyomi shattered. Thousands of light shards s attested across the night sky, shimmering in the moonlight. Both Rachel and Izanami were stunned. Absolutely stunned. Shock, disbelief, amazement, denial. All these emotion races through their minds like formula ones on a track.

'What?! Impossible! The Tsukuyomi is an impregnable shield! None can pierce its absolute defense!' The vampire exclaimed mentally.

The energy mass was seen racing towards Hades, not slowing down for an instant. Izanami could clearly see just who was within the mass and her heart rate spiked.

"Gokuzuki!" She gasped.

"IZ-A-NA-MIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"

The mass shined bright. Brighter than the sun, engulfing everything in white light. Then… everything went dark.

Phase four: Central Fiction.

…

*Timeskip: Five years*

…

Silver woke up in a panic. Panting hard, heart racing, sweat dripping down her face. That dream again.

"Damn…" She cursed.

There wasn't a night that went by where Silver didn't have that odd dream. Her and Noel fighting someone, a strange little girl there, and a man in red. A man who looks familiar, yet she can't put her finger on it. It haunted her. Why, she didn't know.

Putting the dream aside, Silver rolled to her right and saw a note on the pillow next to her. She picked it up and examined it.

"Hey beautiful, thought I'd let you sleep in. Dropped off the little monkey at school and then I'm on my way to my chemo appointment. Made you some breakfast before I left. Bacon and eggs for you in the fridge. Be back by six.

Love Jack."

Silver smiled. She and Jack had been married for three years now. He was from the Kisaragi family along side Jin. The marriage was arraigned by the families for political reasons, but they both grew on each other over time, and he's been such a great father to her son.

However, nobody realized that Jack was suffering from stage three brain cancer. He goes for regular chemo therapy appointment to combat the cancer, but the disease was progressing fast and it would only be a matter of time before it enters the next stage. Even so, Silver intended to stay by his side the whole way, right up to the end.

As for Silver's son… She had absolutely no idea how she even got pregnant in the first place. One morning, she felt sick, and then as time passed, she was late for her monthly cycle. Silver went to a doctor and they diagnosed her pregnancy. Which shouldn't be possible due to there being no father. Even Kononoe was stumped as to how this was possible.

Her best assumption was a phenomenon called Parthenogenesis, where an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by male sperm. But in humans? That was only theorized. Then again, Silver herself isn't human. Who knows how Saiyan biology works. They labeled it as a scientific miracle. Kokonoe was so ecstatic by this that she didn't leave Silver alone throughout the whole pregnancy.

Finally, her son was born. It was truly the happiest day of her life. Silver couldn't have asked for a better life.

"Alright. Better get up!"

She hopped out of bed and stretched. Her tail wagged around to get the blood flowing into it.

"Now… What to do for breakfast? Maybe five ostrich eggs? Maybe fish? Nah, too much of a hassle to fly into the arctic ocean and hunt a colossal squid. Giant eggs it is! But first, some new undies!"

Silver walked over to her dresser and open up her underwear drawer. She dug through to see which pair she would want to wear today. But as she rummaged, she found something in her drawer besides underwear.

"Huh? What's this?"

Silver pulled out the mystery item. It was a note. Was it another letter from Jack? She opened it up and viewed its context. It was long. A note? More like a novel. She read anyway.

"Silver, I'm not sure why I'm writing this at all because you're not even gonna remember me. But I gotta tell you regardless. I'm so sorry for this, I had to leave our world. It was the only option I had to fix everything. I had to take the Master Unit back into the Boundary along with myself, and in the process, create a new world where both the Master Unit, nor Takamagahara can't intervene or control. A world free of them, where humanity can finally move forward.

However, in that process, I had to erase my own existence from this world as well, because I was the 'dream' that the Master Unit made to achieve this goal. To end the nightmare it was suffering from. So as long as I were to exist in our world, it couldn't be made a new.

That is why I had to go. I'm so, so, so sorry Silver. Being totally honest, I would have just said fuck it, and stayed with you, be Adam and Eve, start civilization all over again. But that wouldn't fix anything. So, I made my choice. If you refuse to forgive me, I understand. Because as long as I know you're alive and happy, that's enough for me.

I'll never forget all the great times we had together. Training with Master Jubei, going hunting and you bringing back whole herds of animals, when I took you to that dance club and watched you fling your arms around like linguine, all the weird stuff we did in bed… Hell, where we did that stuff. That time we got banned from Disney World! HAHAHA! We are into some crazy shit, eh 'Anna'?!

Anyway, I'll cherish those memories forever. My only regret is not being able to put a ring on your finger. I actually dreamed about that. You and me, a house at the end of a cul de sac, couple of brats, a dog. Cheesy, I know.

I hope that you can have that life for yourself, Silver. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Take care of Jin and Noel for me… and make sure they don't kill each other while I'm gone. I know you won't know what any of this means, and your probably weirded out by this but... I won't ever, EVER, forget you. I love you. Goodbye Sil. My White Star.

Love always: Ragna"

The paper crumbled in her hands. Tears fell from her face. Her heart ached. She couldn't even speak. Why? Why did she feel like this? Who was this Ragna? Silver stepped back and fell onto her bed. Then, it began to come back. The white hair, the red coat, odd eyes, and that giant sword. His voice, his smile.

She remembered.

"Ragna…"

Silver broke down. She screamed in agony while clenching the letter close to her chest. Her sobs drowned out all other sounds. She remembered. She remembered everything.

"Ragna! Ragna!"

No matter how much she called his name, he would never come. He as truly gone.

"I..! *hiccup* I love you too! I love you too, Ragna!"

All Silver could do now was cry. She would never forget that man as long as she lived.

…

*Requiem Revolution. Beerus's attack on the Soul Society*

Massive explosion rocked the entirety of the Rukon District. Blasts of energy cut through the air and buildings were alit by blue flames. In the center of it all we're two men. Ragna and Vegeta. They were still locked in the middle of their heated battle. Ragna charged at Vegeta, ready to cleave him in half with Blood Scythe. He swung, but Vegeta cloaked his hands with golden energy to block the attack. The force of the swing was enough to crack the ground beneath the Saiyan, even rattle his bones.

"Stop swinging this overgrown letter opener around and fight me with your hands like a true warrior, you bastard!" Vegeta demanded.

"Yeah, I think I'll pass. I ain't called Bloodedge cuz I punch shit! But if it's martial arts you want, here's my right foot to your ass!"

Ragna's foot was coated with black energy and shaped into a beastly talon. He leaped up and swung his leg in a roundhouse kick.

"GAUNTLET HADES!!!"

Vegeta managed to block the attack but just barely by using his left arm. Ragna grunted in response. Now he was the one left open.

"Nice try, but it's my turn now!"

Vegeta knocked away Ragna's leg and charged up a huge ball of ki in his hand.

'This is gonna suck.' Thought Ragna.

"BIG BANG ATTACK!!!"

The ki ball exploded in Ragna's face and sent him flying into a wooden building. The entire structure collapsed on Ragna and buried him. That wasn't enough to beat him though as he got up out of the debris a few seconds later, rubbing his sore neck.

"Fuck… That's gonna hurt in the morning. Whatever." Ragna cursed.

"They're not gonna be a morning for you!" Shouted Vegeta.

The Super Saiyan charged ki into both his hands and they crackled with overflowing amounts of energy. Vegeta brought his hands together and fire an enormous golden blast.

"TRY MY FINAL FLASH!!!"

"This big ball buster again?" Ragna grunted.

The Grim Reaper picked up his sword and swung it right into the beam. The blade, coated in both black energy and blue fire cut into beam like a wood splitter. The attack eventually dissipated, leaving only a slight burn on Ragna's cheek.

"Wha- Are you kidding me?!" Vegeta exclaimed in shock.

"Sorry, but I'm use to that now." Ragna scoffed.

He approached Vegeta slowly, dragging his sword behind him across the dirt.

"Your strong, old man. Unfortunately, I've got quite a bit of experience fighting your kind." Ragna spoke.

"You've fought a Saiyan before?" Vegeta questioned.

"As a matter of fact, yeah. And out of all the times we fought, I never beat her once." Ragna chuckled.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow.

"A female Saiyan? Hmph. If you couldn't even handle our women, what chance do you have at the men?" He mocked.

"Simple, I just close my eyes and pretend your that muscle head Azrael. Besides, after all you freaks did to her when she was a kid, it's gonna be nice to dish out some payback."

"What does that mean?"

"Don't play dumb. She was hunted by your kind. Outcast. All because she was born with white hair."

The last part caused Vegeta's hairs to stand up across his body. The Saiyan's whole body froze in place, heart rate spiking and sweat pouring down his face.

"A… A Saiyan… with white hair..?"

Vegeta had not felt fear like this since when he first fought Frieza. He stepped back in terror.

"Huh? The hell's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost. …GHOST?! WHERE?! Wait, I just said ghost. Why am I gettin' scared?!"

'My father once told me a story when I was a child. A story about a female Saiyan with white hair. One who was as beautiful as she was malevolent. This being was in direct oppose to the Super Saiyan, their mortal enemy to put it bluntly. The story also stated that if this white Saiyan were to defeat the Super Saiyan in combat, the entirety of the Saiyan race would perish!

White hair, red eyes, and a body black as the void of space. Those were the traits of this one, making her resemble a grim reaper. They were called… The Grim One! The Grim Saiyan!'

While Vegeta was lost in his thoughts, Ragna had taken advantage of the situation and got up close to the prince.

"I'd hate to interrupt your mental breakdown, but you left yourself wide open."

Bloodedge swung his sword upwards while cloaking it in dark energy.

"INFERNO DIVIDER!!!"

The attack made contact and totally shredded Vegeta's chest. A streak of red colored the air and splashed onto Ragna's face.

'Silver… If everyone else had their memories of me restored by Es, then that means yours were as well! I swear, once I mop the floor with this shit stain, I'm coming home!'

…

*After defeating Beerus*

…

Faint streaks of orange and crimson painted the sky as the morning rose. Ragna sat atop of a roof to watch the sunrise. He use to do this all the time when he was training with Jubei. It really put him at ease.

Many thoughts of Silver were racing through Ragna's mind. How was she? What is she up to? He never got around to asking his friends about her during his time in the Soul Society. Perhaps he will today.

'Silver…' He thought.

"Hey there, scary!"

Ragna turned his head. Goku was behind him, drenched in his own sweat. He was probably training, and from the amount of excretions, it was with Kenpachi and the rest of Squad Eleven. Ragna wasn't sure who to me more worried about. Though the smell coming off Goku quickly put that aside.

"Phew! Would it have killed you to shower before you flew up here?" Ragna gagged, plugging his nose.

"If I did then I would miss the sunrise." Goku cheerily replied.

Son sat down next to Bloodedge with his legs crossed and hands on his knees. Ragna wanted to argue about Goku's current musk, but he didn't want to ruin the sunrise, so he'd just have to tolerate it.

"You like watching too, huh?" Asked Ragna.

"Sure do. I use to watch the sunrise every morning with my grandfather." Replied the orange Saiyan.

"That so? I use to sleep until noon until Master Jubei took me in. Only good part about waking up at fucking… dawn…"

For a moment, Ragna saw Silver in Goku. He gasped slightly and went wide eyed. Goku stared back at him in confusion.

"What's up? Is there something on my face?" Goku asked.

Ragna got a hold of himself.

"…No. It's nothing."

"I heard Vegeta saying that you have a Saiyan on your Earth. Is that true?"

He was hesitant to answer. When Ragna mentioned Silver to Vegeta, he went crazy, even crazier than he was when they started fighting. It seemed Silver was hated by her people no matter what Universe they were in.

But now that Ragna thought about it. When he met Goku, and heard what Vegeta called him…

"I was raised by my cousin and his family. His name was Kakarot. He and his parents were the only ones who were nice to me."

That's what Silver told him.

"That little hemorrhoid said your name was Kakarot. Right?"

"Yeah? What's that got to do with anything?" Goku responded in confusion.

Ragna smiled.

"Her name is Silver."

…

"Mom? What was Dad like?"

"That's an odd question. You already know all there is about you father, sweetie."

"Not Jack. I mean Ragna. My real dad."

"Oh! My bad. Hmm… What was you father like…

…

Next time

Ragna returns from the past with his new feathery friend Raven in toe, and encounters a mysterious boy. One with strange ties to Ragna himself.
