On Earth
Romulus with his helmet off stares at the dead body of the mighty Emperor of the Neo-Saiyan before him. The smirk that he's seen all his life on his face behind the glass before him. His father's red tinted sunglasses on him along with all his various gold rings upon his fingers and his self-given medals on his armor. They had done well to hide the staples that had reattached his head to his body. He was the image of a conqueror the man that had took the Earth
He looked at peace to Romulus which clearly pissed him off. The snarl on his face was apparent. His father had always enjoyed the idea of the final laugh. He could practically hear the man laughing at him from Hell. But he relaxed as he felt two men behind the door to the mausoleum.
It was fast approaching to show the crying and hysterical masses their god lying before him. This funeral had been planned out to the minute. For a man that didn't take anything too serious this was cruelest thing of all. His victims would now weep and cry for him.
Not that Romulus cared at this point. These people were sheep, he thought. They deserved this nightmare of Emperor. They all deserved to suffer, and he intended to make them suffer. His eyes wandered to the shadows of the room where he could feel her approach now that she appeared.
"So, you're finally here to 'bargain' with me demon. I was wondering when you were going to show up?"
Towa chuckled "You make it sound like you're 'not' going to listen and give me what I want for the same power your father got. After all you listening to me proves you're afraid of your family and just as power hungry."
"So, what do you want?"
"A deal with the same blood pack that he made with me. His with his blood…" She moved into the light to show her bulging belly "Yours will be a pact with my daughter that you will marry and have children with."
Romulus looked horrified at this "Won't that take a long time? And how you're not..."
She was still smirking "Not compatible. I'm a demon with black magic dear and with that she is going to grow up quite fast. She'll be in your bed soon, warming it before long." If you were expecting me to take your soul, don't I think you already sold that to your true love the blood throne."
Romulus cringed at this, visibly it was clear he was not a fan of this new reality. He is holding back a gag. He grits his teeth "If I had a soul at this point, I would vomit and violently reject your proposal." He looked at his hand as it went forward slightly over his father's smiling severed head. "Very well you have deal."
He shook her hand as she took him close and whispered with her tongue in his ear "She be able to transform when you wish to a form more suitable to your tastes my lord (She licked his ear) my love." She had spoke with a man's voice, specifically Remus's voice at the end.
It sent a chill down his spine. He pulled back in haste as hit had rattled him to his core. She cackled like the witch she was into his face. "Don't worry I love possessing secrets like this. I'm a demon and no stranger to such repression you hold onto in your heart. Your love's truth is mine and only my daughters to know provided you can keep the secret yourself."
"We will never speak of this again do understand me." He said between grit angry teeth clench so tight that one might think he might break. His eyes were wild with angry malice filled pools that seem to wish to stab at her."
She lightly chuckles "That's it. That's your father festering in there that delicious black hate in your heart. It's why you're You do 'love' your family after all. We both know that my poor misbegotten child and I'm going to be your mother-in-law now." (She her right index finger over her mouth) Fine 'mum's' the word."
And with that she disappeared into a portal leaving Romulus alone.
Outside the room where Romulus was…
Cyan had out a communicator what showed a hologram of a uniformed man. That he was menacing staring at. Nearby was a black cloak man waiting for Romulus to leave his father's resting chamber.
Cyan hisses out "What do you mean he rejected the self-destruct protocol?"
"I'm sorry my lord but Will only technically is meant to follow the emperor's command. Despite your now higher status he is allowed to not follow instructions that would damage him or that he feels is counter to his given orders."
Cyan practically spites out with venom "That bot should have killed them all with the surprise and destroyed. Leaving those pieces on the board is moronic."
"The emperor said to intimidate and demoralize them so that's what he did and only what he did."
"I want a full readout of his brain activity, full conformation of his status under our control. The new semi-organic AI must be reinforced. All trances of Bill must be further purged."
"His memories are a useful asset. To fully destroy Bill, we need to purge them too my lord."
"Your team needs to find a solution. We need to find out if it is Bill we are dealing with and not just an exclusive order he was following. It's no good if he's just a sleeper agent of the Resistance. Deal with it or you with find yourself with a kakarrotdamn hole in your head." He says as he puts two fingers to his head and then snaps his wrist way in a violent motion.
He bowed to Cyan "Yes My Lord." With that the hologram terminated.
He looked over to the black cloaked figure. He snickered "Always a pain when weapon systems you've worked on aren't working like you intended." ( He looks over to the cloaked man) "Tell me Platinum has another monkey blown up one of your science vessel's?"
"Ebola, Rabies mixed with the black water mist was simply too unconstructive for our 'super' soldier program and human testing was equally unconstructive. We patched this problem with our new 'super' virus. All thanks to the boy from the future."
The door to the chamber opened and an irate Romulus emerged from it. He was taking a very long drink from a flask, as he looked over to Cyan and the cloaked Platinum. He removed the now empty flask from his lips and looked jadedly at the officers before him.
"What is it?" he coolly asks.
Cyan gives a quick bow. "Sorry my Lord. The good doctor general has news of this 'Prometheus' project that neither I nor you were privy to. And I have an important matter that needs to be addressed as well."
The two follow the future emperor as he easily finishes off his flask as they find an office. The office is a grand room with gold trim and vaulted ceiling. The desk is a clearly ornate hand-crafted piece as is the chair behind it.
Romulus grouses as he takes a seat "Whatever you have to say you'd better make it quick! Cousin you are first."
"It's a small matter but on Inatk Prime. The government there has voted in a petition to ask you to rescind your father's policy on mandatory meat consumption despite your proclamation that there shan't be any changes in government policy."
"So, they are challenging me huh?"
"It would appear so yes."
He gave a cruel smirk to him. "As soon as I'm Emperor I'll deal with this problem. Now what do you have for me Platinum?"
To that Platinum held up a vital that was locked to a syringe. It looked oddly bulky but advanced.
"What is that?" Romulus, puzzled, asked him.
"It's Prometheus mine Herr. This is a part of the great project that I and your loyal servants have worked on, first for your father and now for you. This is the triumph of mankind and its end. This was made by tirelessly used Crispr gene edited technology from hundreds of years ago. Along with your Great Grandfather's cellular technology used to make Cell. And combining virus manipulation that Bulma made to cure the heart virus Goku your father parallel universe self. To make a new self-replicating virus that will alter human cells with Saiyan genetics to turn them from human to a hybrid organism that will have all the benefits of the Saiyan race but keep a human majority. No tails, no mating rituals or weird sexual habits. We will all be black eyed supermen, stronger and faster. We will be able work longer, go super Saiyan, survive harsher conditions, heal faster and live harder. And you my Lord will have what you have all of what you wanted. This needle is special, this has only your father's genetic material. You will have more Saiyan in you than the others. You will be like your sibling's fifty percent of him. You will have what you have craved all your life, you will be his son, it would be any sort of lie. Your father is loving and caring. He ordered me to give this to you, my god."
Romulus stared at the vital he with dark eyes chuckled and he did not hesitate. Then came the screaming as metamorphoses are rarely painless.
On Earth in the chambers of the Daughter's Emperor wing
A raven-haired woman with a tail was standing there. She was a tall woman with black eyes and mediterranean colored skin. She had viable muscles with her armor on. She looked pensive as she watches her maids get together her clothes as she decided what she want. She hated dresses
Her apartment was massive in size it ancient Roman/Hellenic in design. It fits a princess of NSE. Said Princess was getting ready for her brother coronation. She was examining them in disgust.
A well dress man came into the room manage show to sneak up on the princess and laid his back on one of the stone white marble walls behind her but not for long. He took out breath spray and took a puff before she barked out.
"What the hell are you doing in my room without my permission Cyan?" She turned her head and snapped her fingers. In an instant all the maids who had been around were gone have run for their lives.
She looked at him and snarled a bit. He was in his white uniform with gold and jewels adorning his fingers, along with a gold necklace and gold-colored sunglasses. His uniform had a short cape on it and a snow leopard print to it on the inside. His gloves were purple hanging out his jacket pocket. He seemed quite happy with his hair slicked staring at her as if she were a delicious meal he could eat.
"My dearest Agrippa. Is that how you greet your loving cousin. Who happens to be the New Grand Moff of the Empire. The second most powerful man in the universe. Who is now the acting head of the party."
"Pff …I can't believe Romulus made a weird perv like you his second. All your good at is being a creep and a bootlicker as I recall."
He strutted up to her smiling. "Have you ever wanted a command of your own."
"What?"
He rolled his eyes and began walking towards her "I shan't repeat myself. I know you heard me. You were the second most powerful woman I've ever met but you've never had your own command. I don't really think that is right so I'm giving you one."
Put his hand on her to which she grabbed said hand and, in a fluid, motion folded his hand behind back while slamming him against wall.
She hissed "Let me guess you want something from me!"
He breathlessly sighs in pleasure "I love Saiyan women their just so violent."
"Give me a reason to not just snap your neck."
"I think you already know the reason why you can't otherwise you'd have done it already. Let me give a guess that you're trying to doll yourself up so that you might have a shot at the being his second wife."
"What do you care?"
"Oh, I care in the sense that you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell. You know him enough it wasn't just he didn't show any affection for anyone. Our new emperor lives like a monk or at least he used to. You show be smart enough to know that you ain't getting anything from him. Me however, I've always liked you…"
She scoffs "You've always liked all of my sisters. It's just that Livy liked you peeping on her in her room and obsessing over her in that creepy way unlike me."
He faints offence clutched his chest "Hey I was one of the only boys allowed into these chambers. I was like a kid in a candy store. I was just so young, I just intended to take full advantage. I mean you guys left your underwear everywhere (in the laundry room) back then and I stopped that childish behavior a while ago (mostly). But my point still stands he's not going to change if you want power or say in empire, you're going to need a man on the inside especially considering the purge that's coming up."
"Purge" She nervously muttered out as she let go of him.
He dusted himself and grinned as he looked at himself noticing the tent in his pants. She backed away from him in a bit of disgust.
"You know I like how disgusted by me you are Agrippa. It just works for me." He coughed and looked her back in the eyes. "Yes, the purge. Well, you see a lot of people don't like or respect your brother and as Grand Moff I'm now the head of the II and boss of MO, so it'll be my job to decide as it were who lives and dies as it were. Your brother thought about putting on the kill list, you know but I talked him out of it. I got you not killed and a fleet of star destroyers. So, you know you're welcome."
He gets closer to her again. "Surely you have something to say to me."
"Thank you, Cyan, I appreciated it." Said with burning eyes and a monotone voice.
He cruelly smiled at her. He moaned a bit. "You know I like how you didn't mean it." He lifted his feet on his tippy toes to sniff at her hair as his hand grabs ahold of her tail. He stroked her tail as he whispers out "That's a good girl. You may never love me, but I promise that you'll get everything you ever wanted if you stick with me."
She grabbed hold of his neck. He gasped. She growled in his face. "I'm no whore you cretin."
She grinned at him as he was turning blue. He gasped out "Partnership!"
She opened her hand, and he fell onto the floor into a heap. He coughed a ton as he got to his feet whilst rubbing his throat.
"You have quite the temper there. I hope it doesn't improve. Look, we both know that I'm just a weak human and I need a bodyguard capable of defending me. The new android 22 needs some additional modifications and you're a true blue super Saiyan with all of the potential of getting way stronger with my help after all I have the resources of the empire to call upon. The occult division can get you super Saiyan Black."
"Won't that piss off my brother."
"That's the wonderful thing if you want it won't matter anymore because you'd be The Empress if that happens, you'll have quite the useful consort at your side."
She flicked up her hand in disgust "Fine you win. I guess we're partners then. Now you'd better get on the bed if you want this before I change my mind on all of this and kick you out of here."
Neo Aquitaine Home of former Grand Moff Grey
Cyan is wandering around Grey's house looking at his art collection as he is followed by Grey himself and Cyan's attendants. Grey looks at his sort of nephew with suspicion as he thinks he knows why he is here and it's not to look at his art collection.
"My, my uncle you sure have gotten a lot of art from all your conquests. So many planets, so many different styles. It's a dare I say a simply priceless collection"
The older man said in a sigh "Are you going to continue to waste my time going over my collection or are we going to discuss business?"
"You're acting so cold to me. Is it because I stole your job uncle."
"I can't say I'm particular happy about it but no. Because you see I'm in mourning," (He pointed to his black armband) "First your father dies and now my beloved Emperor is dead. They were both my best friends despite everything. The country is in mourning but not you it seems."
"You mistake me. I loved our Emperor far more than my own father, that is for sure. I figured you of all people would know that yourself. The fact that my father was killed by my golden sister was an nice ironic twist. All my life I have been compared to her. He said she was more of a man than I would ever be. That I would never amount to much while she would be a great leader. But here I am now master of the colossally powerful Imperial war machine. My only wish is now to rub that in her smug bitch face."
"I won't pretend to understand your family dynamic. She did betray us, and she should die for it."
"I agree. Too bad she's got protection. In the end she ended up with a prince of the empire after all."
"Are you here to invite me to the crowning and party meeting."
"Sorry no. I feel as though we should find seat where we can talk."
They found a place in one of this mansion's many kitchens. As the two sat down Cyan took out of his overcoat's inner pocket a vial with a clear liquid inside of it and placed it before Grey.
"It won't hurt uncle. Neither of us wish you to suffer. You were a friend to us both as you were to our fathers."
"But I have too much influence. Too many victories too my name."
"And have a reputation that needs to be erased. A homosexual can't have been the greatest of our empire's leaders. Death will wash everything away."
"So, my staff." In the background popping could be heard.
"All of them. This is the empire your male fag secretaries were doomed to die to begin with in our camps you just saved them up until something happened to you. Their ashes will be buried with you in the great mausoleum. You will have an honored place next to my father and the emperor. All rumors will be strangled in the crib by the II (Imperial Intelligence)."
A bloody scream could be heard then suddenly silenced with a pop.
Grey sighed "Once upon a time I was a poor child growing up in the same town with your dad in a poor town. I couldn't afford shoes, so I wore tissue boxes sometimes. I relied on charity sometimes to eat. I was the poor kid in town which said something, and I was bullied relentlessly for it. My home was no respite my father beat me for not being enough of a man because I was gay, when he wasn't beating my mother or five siblings. I barely dreamed that I'd be here. In charge of a military that spanned a galaxy. Life has been quite strange for me."
He took the vial, knocked off the cap and drank it like he was dying of thirst.
"It tasted like nothing. I guess that's what death tastes like."
"I figured you won't care about taste."
"I worked my entire life to make this empire work properly, while your father and the emperor partied. Please don't let it fall apart on your watch."
"I plan to make it work. Don't worry about that. Now when you get to hell tell my father of my position won't you. I won't get to rub his nose in it for quite some time…"
"I will. I suspect that I'll have a special place for me there considering all I have been party to and done. More importantly Emperor has no doubt taken the place by now, knowing him."
He starts to chuckle but stops then collapses suddenly onto the table dead. Cyan takes out a cigarette and lights it. He takes smoke and waves for his attendants to pick up the dead body.
"For I plan to live forever."
On Earth right before the coronation…
An alien face stares back at Romulus. Where once he saw Kunlun face a scared three-eyed waist of space now he saw the new face he had. Black spiked hair now took the space where once his blonde or blue or even green hair took up. His face was milky white smooth and unblemished. His new skin that they gave him covered his third eye and the new eyes colored a more uniform black.
On him was his black, white and red armor made for the ceremony. He stared in disbelief at his own visage. It was everything he had ever wanted. No longer was his face a traitor's face but that of his father's. His face finally looked at the part he all.
A wolfish grin took his new face. He felt his face with his hands feeling unfamiliar surface. But as he felt his new flesh his imagination took over as he thought of Remus touching him. At that thought he quickly ripped his hands off and then smashed the mirror in front of him.
He turned around as he jumped to feet kicking the chair away as he did so. He looked at the skull that he had placed earlier behind him.
He huffed with anger and maybe fear "Funny. I think…"
He started chackling, it was an unhinged spectacle much less of a genuine laugh and more like uncontrolled spasm and abruptly it stops
"Doesn't matter. None of that matters now. He was God and now I've taken his place as a god, and you get to watch it all and judge me like you always have. Always on about a better world about how we could be better. So much misplaced optimism. Look at me now brother, I'm on top of the world. The ignorant masses are about to scream out my name and I only wish I could slit all their throats at once. Finally, this black feeling in me is free. I can do whatever I want and yet it your fault I feel this way. It's all ash in my mouth. My face, my skin, my hair all perfect as it should be. I write the history. I chose what reality looks like not you not anyone else anymore. If I don't I make it disappear and you're just going to have to watch that happen."
He when over top skull and went over his hands contorted in a way to crush the skull but before he touch it he pulled his hand away.
"No, you don't destroy symbols of your victory after all he did kill father with their help then I slew him and chopped his head. That's reality and that's what they'll say happened and I kept skull for a trophy that's it and nothing more. It was better that way."
He looked over to the armor all white not far way and in black the symbol of the handled trident on the cape next to the armor.
He whispered to himself "Showtime".
