Tales of the Multiverse Bit 115

After conducting a short research, I hereby declare that Lori Loud is a Blessed.

After finally cooling herself down, Lori Loud and Bobby Santiago decided to visit the Science and Research Department where they told Jimmy Neutron about Lori's situation, and after a short research, it is revealed that Lori is a Blessed, much to their shock.

Everyone continues to stare at the large glowing monkey statue before them when all of a sudden there was big bright flash of light which temporarily blinded the heroes and when the lights subsided, they look up and to their shock, they saw a gigantic monkey looking down at them with a rather fierce expression which made Eustace Bagge to hide behind Lunette Yaeger while cowering in fear, much to the Fox Faunus' annoyance.

The gigantic monkey had a rather muscular physique, he had a dark-brown fur and facial hair, he had a light-brown skin tone and he had orange-colored eyes. He wears a red cape with white-furred trims, black pants and a golden crown with a pink jewel on his head. This is John Goku, a Guardian Deity.

Guardian Deity

John Goku

Tomomichi Motoyama tips his glasses before speaking, "Excuse me, are you the Guardian Deity?'' he inquired.

The gigantic monkey stares at everyone for a minute before smiling, "I am the Handsome and Powerful Monkey King of this humble temple; the Lord of the Apes, bestowed with the name John Goku by the cosmic order." he introduced himself in declaration, "The Great Monkey Sage rivaling the Gods!" he added, "My strength can't be match by millions and the power of my will of fire can hold the heavens in their grasp!" he claimed, "Not only that I'm Handsome and Powerful but I'm also the nicest and friendliest of all the twelve Guardian Deities, but make no mistake, betray my trust and you shall suffer my wrath!" he concluded.

Everyone were left astonished, impressed and bewildered by his long introduction, alongside with the all titles he hold, which most of them were given to him by himself.

But of course, they don't need to know that.

"Uhh, shouldn't you're name be Son Goku?'' Hector Vanguard Jr. questioned rather rudely.

"Is there something wrong with my name?'' John Goku demanded with narrowed eyes.

Before Hector could utter a reply, Aria "Arinah" Sakurada slaps his mouth with her hand, "No sir, it's a wonderful name.'' she complimented with a smile before giving the Green Lantern a scary glare, "Keep you're comments to yourself!" she chastised with a harsh whisper.

Hector responded by raising his hands up in fear while trying to avoid anymore scolding from the not-so-shy and very, very aggressive girl.

John Goku observes the rest before nodding in acknowledgement, "Very well, I assume that you are the team that the Heroes Coalitions had sent to obtain the Heavenly Stone.'' he assumed with his arms crossed.

Luna Loud nodded, "Yes, sir.'' she confirmed.

John Goku nodded in affirmation, "I agreed to your superiors to lend the Heavenly Stones because of good reasons however, I am not happy that one of you just had to reveal the existence of the Stone to the enemy.'' he stated while everyone glared at Hector whom sighed in defeat, "You're lucky that I'm the nicest out of all the Guardian Deities, if it was the others especially the tiger and dragon, then you'll be getting a hard time convincing them to lend their Stones.'' he explained.

"We'll be careful next time, sir." Malvina Rasputin assured.

John Goku waves his large hands, "It's fine." he reassured, "Anyway, I believe I should give you what you all came here for.'' he declared before a glowing blue/orange/gold cube floats down from his hand which then proceeds to floats towards Luna's arms, the cube was like a medium-sized box and is slightly light with Luna had no problem carrying it, "The Heavenly Stone will be a great help for your organization, so please take care of it.'' he advised.

"Will do, sir!" Luna complied with a smile and a salute.

"Also, I applaud all of you for protecting this place from those creatures." John Goku complimented, "So I'll be giving one of you a gift.'' he expressed before pointing a finger at Malvina, "You! The pale one.'' he singled out.

"M-me?'' Malvina squawked in surprise.

"I saw you fight using a broomstick.'' John Goku mentioned, "Why is that?" he asked with his hands on his hips.

"Well... my abilities are not suited for combat, so I've been using countless unorthodox weapons." Malvina explained rather sheepishly.

"That's a big no-no to me.'' John Goku quipped before snapping his fingers when suddenly a golden cauldron filled with red boiling lava came up from the floor, "See that cauldron?" he pointed out, "Deep inside is a magnificent weapon that gives it's user enough strength to fight thousands if not millions of enemies and win!" he revealed.

"Really? How can I get it?'' Malvina asked.

"Just dip your arms hands into the cauldron and the weapon will attached itself to your arms." John Goku instructed.

Everyone were surprised of what the Guardian Deity just said, "S-sir... do you literally mean that she dips her hands inside that cauldron FULL of hot LAVA?!" Lunette exclaimed in disbelief.

"YEAH!" Bud Bison exclaimed in agreement.

John Goku nodded, "Of course, I am willing to let her think about this.'' he stated.

Malvina thought about for a minute before gaining a look of determination, "Hai! Please give it to me.'' she declared.

John Goku nodded before gesturing her to dip her hands in the lava, Malvina took a deep breath before she sunk her hands through the super hot lava, much to everyone's shock and amazement.

And of course... there can be only one result.

"YAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Malvina let's out a scream filled forced laughter and pain, "You call this hot! It's not hot at all! It's NOT hot at all!" she cried out, "It's not nearly hot as I expected!" she added with a few sobs.

"Lady Malvina!" Alla Yuliya called out, "Are you okay?'' she asked in concern.

Malvina then turn to her servant with a red face and tears flowing down her cheeks, "What?" she questioned, "Does it look like I'm trying to hide the pain or something?'' she assumed.

"Yes it does!" Alla exclaimed.

"Woohoo-hoo-hoo!" Malvina hollered, "It's not hot at all! It's NOT hot at all!" she cried out despite the smile on her face.

Lavi then leans close to Lunette, "I am so glad that weapon isn't offered to me." he whispered, "Call me a coward but I rather keep my hands lava free.'' he admitted.

Lunette grimaced before nodding in agreement, "You and me both.'' she uttered.

John Goku then nodded, "I believe it's about time to pull your arms out of the lava.'' he announced.

And without a second thought, the pale girl quickly pulls out her arms. Everyone's grimaced at the sight of her arms, it was scorched in red, her sleeves are gone and you can definitely smell her flesh burning but that was then replaced by awe, when they saw a two gold gauntlets attached to her arms.

"Wow! That is so cool!" Luna exclaimed in awe.

"Like I said before..." John Goku uttered, "Those gauntlets will give it's user the strength that can take on thousands." he explained, "Plus it can shoot fire and crush boulders." he added.

Malvina panted heavily while staring at the weapon on her arms, she let's out a smile before looking at the Guardian Deity, "Thank you very much, John Goku." she expressed in gratitude, "I promise, I'll use it properly!" she declared in determination.

The Guardian Deity smile at her, "I will hold on to do that." he replied, "Now that you got the Heavenly Stone and a bonus gift from me, I wish you all the best of luck.'' he encouraged.

bzzzttt...

Later that day and after leaving the temple, everyone are seen walking back at the forest with Arinah and Tomomichi leading the group while Hector is at the far back, reflecting and evaluating his actions earlier.

"Malvina, are you sure that you're doing okay?'' Yasutora "Chad" Sado asked in concern.

Malvina sighed in response while her arms are still shaking in pain, "Yeah, I'm fine." she reassured.

"Better let Dr. Ziegler take a look at your arm once we get back.'' Alla suggested.

"Can't you just heal yourself?'' Lavi asked.

"YEAH!" Bud exclaimed in agreement.

Malvina sighed once more, "My hands are dealing a lot of pain at the moment, so I won't be able to heal myself and others for a while." she explained.

As the others had a conversation, Luna is carefully examines the Heavenly Stone in her arms, "I still wonder what this thing can do.'' she thought out loud.

"Probably something stupid.'' Eustace replied with a scoff.

Lunette sighed, "It's definitely something important, so important that the higher-ups is keeping it a secret from us and with the stakes so high, I don't blame them.'' she stated.

Meanwhile, Hector is in deep thoughts, "So many mistakes and blunders that I did today." he thought, "I even mentioned the existence of the Heavenly Stones to the enemy." he added, "Overall, I did poorly in this mission." he admitted, "Maybe I should talk to Double D, I really need his opinion about this." he contemplated.

As Arinah walks ahead when Tomomichi suddenly spoke, "Arinah-hime." the bespectacled boy called which got her attention alongside with everybody else, "I have so many questions that needs some answers." he admitted, "Who was that person? How do you know each other? And most importantly, what is an Error?" he listed off.

Arinah looks down for a minute before nodding in acknowledgement, "I guess I can't hide it anymore." she uttered, "And you're my friends, so I believe it's only right that I tell you all everything about me." she stated, "First off, you all know that my full name is Aria Sakurada however Sakurada isn't actually my real last name because you all by now that I'm adopted." she revealed, "Though Aria is indeed my real name given to me by my horrendous family." she admitted in spite.

"Horrendous?" Lavi uttered, "What did your biological parents do to you?" he asked.

Arinah sighed in response, "I, alongside my brother and younger sister, we're abandoned in a underground orphanage by our family, believing that we we're nothing but a burden to them." she revealed, "And the rest, you can say is where our life takes into an unexpected turn." she stated.

"How so?" Lavi asked.

"Remember Shinsuke from earlier while claiming himself as an Error." Arinah reminded, "Because believe it or not, I'm an Error as well." she confessed with a serious expression, much to everyone's shock with Eustace's jaw literally dropping down the ground.

"A-are you serious?" Luna uttered in shock.

"That explains why you manage to go toe-to-toe with that guy earlier." Chad uttered.

"Just what are these Errors?" Lavi asked.

"As said before, my siblings and I were abandoned in an underground orphanage." Arinah said, " However it turns out that it's also a secret underground science facility that experiments and trains young people to become Child Soldiers." she revealed, "We were trained to do espionage, assassinations and even getting invovled in wars." she listed off.

Malvina gasped, "T-that's... horrendous..." she muttered in shock.

"Wait?! You said assassination right?" Lavi mentioned, "Then that means..." he uttered.

Arinah nodded with a solemn expression, "Yes, I had a fair share of kills when I was very young." she confessed.

"Oh my God..." Hector uttered in horror.

Arinah then continued on, "We we're called Child Errors or simply Errors, children abandoned by our parents and forsaken by society." she revealed, "The underground facility injected us with a special kind of serum that gave us numerous abilities such as strength, knowledge, resilience, durability, stealth, agility and endurance." she listed off, "Errors are considered to be genetically enhanced humans and with those combined abilities, we can take on any opponents, from super-powered human beings to even Gods, we Errors' abilities are bound with endless possibilities, and as of now, we still don't know what else we can do." she explained, "Errors like me can't be easily defeated and unless you're an Error yourself then you had a chance." she added.

"I see." Tomomichi uttered, "But what happened to the underground facility?" he asked.

"During the time when we we're ten to eleven years old, we participated in a war against some invading aliens and we won without effort." Arinah shared, "That's when the scientists discovered that we we're getting more powerful and dangerous as we aged, meaning if we reached the age of 30 an Error's strength can be considered of a God, which scared them to death and decided to get rid of us because they think that we're threats." she explained.

"That just don't make sense at all!" Luna exclaimed in disbelief, "First, they turned you into child soldiers and now they want to get rid of you because you're getting more powerful as you grow up!" she pointed out indecorously, "These motherfuckers are messed up in the head!" she exclaimed.

"What happened after that?" Lunette asked.

"Of course, we don't want to get killed." Arinah admitted, "So we rebelled against our superiors led by me, Shinsuke, my older brother and two more friends." she revealed. "Killing them one by one, not leaving any of them alive before we decided to destroy the facility for good." she concluded.

"That's gruesome but they had it coming." Lavi admitted with Eustace nodding in agreement.

"So, what did you guys do after that?" Malvina asked.

"We all decide to go on our separate ways, some decided to live a normal life, some decided to use their abilities to help or to commit crime, Shinsuke is a notable example for the crime part." Arinah answered.

"Aside from Shinsuke turning into the life of darkness, what happened to the others?" Hector asked.

"One of my friends became some sort of eco-terrorist but he's a good guy and a moron to boot." Arinah answered, "Another one of my friends is currently owns a space cruiser and is doing delivery service, he is a nice guy but a moron as well." she furthered with a chuckle.

"What about your siblings?" Alla asked.

"My younger sister decided that she wants to travel the worlds on her own, we we're reluctant at first but gave in to her decision in the end." Arinah answered, "We haven't seen her for years but I know that she's doing well." she stated.

"And you're brother?" Tomomichi inquired.

Arinah let's out a sigh, "My brother and I traveled from one world to another until we arrived in the Sakurada Kingdom." she answered, "The two of us were adopted by the Royal Sakurada Family which is the reason we became royalties." she shared, "Life was a lot better since then until that day..." she trailed.

"What? What happened?" Hector egged which earned him an elbow from Lavi.

"... a large blue hand suddenly appears from the sky and grabs my brother." Arinah shared, "I managed to avoid getting caught by the hand but it did hit me on the head which resulted of me loosing my memories of my brother." she revealed, "I forgot everything about him, from his face to his voice, and every time I tried to remember him my head began to hurt." she explained.

"I see..." Luna uttered.

"I had another question if you don't mind." Hector chimed in, "Why are you in a bad mood from the last couple of weeks?" he asked.

"What does that had anything to do with our current conversation!?" Alla questioned in disbelief.

"Actually... the reason why I'm in a bad mood because I was having a massive headache." Arinah confessed, "The reason I was having such a headache its because I was thinking really hard to remember my brother while enduring the pain at the same time." she explained, "And of course... with my head in pain, I obviously would attack anyone who tries to bother me." she admitted.

"Hunter got a big taste of that." Luna mentioned.

"So... have you remembered your brother?" Malvina asked.

Arinah smiled in response, "I had." she answered.

"Really? Who is it?" Lavi asked.

Arinah chuckled, "You know him very well." she replied.

"What?" Luna squawked, "Don't confuse us! Who is it?!" she egged.

"It's Marcus." Arinah answered, "The leader of the New Age Avengers." she added.

Everyone's eyes widen in shock upon hearing her answer, "EEEEEHHHHHHHH! MARCUS IS YOUR BROTHER!" they exclaimed in shock.

Arinah giggled in response.
