Chapter 13
??? PoV:
"Ah. finally she's waking up" A unfamiliar voice spoke as I began to slowly open my eyes trying to find out who this mysterious being was despite not knowing anything at all other than my creator Dr, Felix. The man who gave me life. While opening I noticed to what seemed to be a boy with long dark brown hair and incredibly deep blue eyes looking rather impatient at me as if he had been waiting for me to wake up. How long was actually out for? However as my eyes opened wider I couldn't move my arms making me looking to my right seem not just my arm by my entire body seemed to be strapped down to a rather odd looking table, why exactly am I strapped to such a machine.
"Leave her alone, Ilon. Remember what he said to us, she has no memory of who we are so be nice" Another voice spoke making me looking seeing a male taller than the one before as this time his hair was shorter, black and had incredibly beautiful pale blue eyes and looked more kinder than the other one as he scolded reminding the other of why they're here.
"Whatever, its not like I'm going to do anything to her yet anyway" Ilon mumbled to himself looking away angered by the older looking being that stood before me as I remained strapped down to this table. The eldest walked over to me first unstrapping my arms then my legs allowing me to do the waist myself which wasn't hard to do as I was now free from this crappy scrappy table thingy feeling the cold metal surface make contact with my feet confusing me on what was happening making me glance down seeing my toes unprotected unlike the others while my shirt was ripped and had dried blood on the side of my abdomen making lift it up slightly seeing a closed up wound that had been stitched up and something fluffy and white on top preventing any infection to grow.
"Hm, did I get into a fight? I hope not" I thought before releasing allowing my shirt to fall back down to my waist again as I glanced up at the one that released me seeing him now standing closer than before observing my every move. Who exactly is this guy?
"Hello, dear sister. I am Agolos your elder twin brother, I have gathered you some fresh set of clothes so please change into them before our creator comes back and hopefully until then I'll finally be able to explain everything to you." He spoke introducing himself as my very own brother let alone a twin which struck some interest in me finally having some useful information on who or what exactly I am. He kindly was able to show me the way showing me where the clothes were that he picked out for me, *she doesn't wear earrings or hair bows* it seemed to be rather pink and yet it wasn't bad I liked his taste in fashion even though I would most preferred blue than this. After looking at myself I came out seeing Agolos seeing the clothes he picked out for me before giving me a thumbs up approving on the masterpiece he had created.
"you look kinda cool I guess.. despite the fact that she can't talk to us now is what's bugging me and you know he hates silence for an answer" Ilon butted in making Agolos come over and stand in front of me as if he was protecting me from him despite not feeling threatened by this whatsoever.
"Stop, Ilon. She is apart of the plan and there is nothing you can do to change that. So stop being jealous and go bug someone else" Agolos replied as Ilon's eyes widened surprised by this sudden supposed change in personality in his big brother and over some girl too. He looked back at me with a soft smile making me trust him more than anything in this world no matter what comes in our way I know he'll be there for me. "Don't worry, sister I've got your back as I refuse to let you become a burden or a failure to the hell we are now and forever stuck in.. Together" He added confusing me on what this 'hell' he is referencing to patting my head as my long black hair remained down touching both my shoulders and down my back.
"Does this mean Ilon is my brother too?" I thought unable to make a single noise come out from my mouth which is odd as big brother can do it with such ease. How does he do it?
"Really?! You're already attached to her now? Ugh, so predictable" Ilon butted in before walking off leaving the base that was several miles away from the place she was taken from and has no memory of those she spent the past couple of years with. However somewhere in the city Ilon was causing mayhem for the poor defenseless citizens down below harming those he can get his hands on. "Now this is fun, hehehe" Ilon said sending random Ki blasts destroying all that get in his way for the second time this week.
"Didn't I tell you to stop, Ilon?" Nova's voice was heard in a serious tone making the cyborg teen to instant look behind him seeing her a few feet away glaring at him clearly not in the mood for any of his sick games. A little drip of sweat was seen going down the android's face while keeping a smile and standing proudly above the citizens he so enjoyably likes to harm on a daily basis.
"Oh, I didn't see you there, Oldie. What brings you here of all places? I have no intention to fight you at the moment" He replied aiming his hand down at the city below him unaware of the change in Nova's joking nature whenever they clashed and stop him from annihilating the city, but this time was different she appeared now beside him no longer in the mood for jokes grabbing his aimed out hand pulling it back towards him hurting the android as he grabbed her in response wanting to be released due to how hard her grip had become. "Let me go! You're hurting my arm?!" He yelled while kicking at her in an attempt to free him and with no prevail, Ilon knew that if he doesn't act quick is as good as dead and went in for a full on punch to the gut failing as she caught his fist with her other hand pulling closer inches away from his face glaring at him in a intimidating way.
"Get out or I will do the unthinkable and kill you right here and now in front of everyone to see that I am the superior being.." This was right Nova wasn't being herself and wouldn't dare kill another being lower her rank unless absolutely necessary as fear was seeing replacing the cocky androids cocky expression now showed to be far below her.
"Nova! You don't have to do this!" Riaura was heard yelling seeing this anger over take Nova making the white haired saiyan throw the android a few feet away from the city in a single swift motion before sending a Ki blast straight at him as a warning shot. However inside of Nova's mind something unusual was happening between Nova and Neoma.
"What the heck mother?! You had no right to take over right now let alone harm him! You're making me look like a monster" Nova exclaimed angered by the fact that her own blood mother took control of the situation and caused more harm than anything exposing a surreal side of Nova that wasn't ever to be shown to the naked eye. Neoma glanced back looking at her only daughter with a serious expression thinking she did the right thing not completely hearing her own kid's reason why she took so long to react.
" A monster? It had to be done. If he continued to reek havoc on this city then all those innocent people could've died! Are you willing to sacrifice some weak mortals over a self centered cyborg?" Neoma snapped back walking over to Nova until she was 2 metres away from the supposed saiyan daughter she trusted to be raised by pure blooded monkeys.
"Weak mortals? What are you on about?! I was about to act before you took over and almost killed him! I know we're apart of a fighting saiyan race, but i refuse to let my powers go to waste and harm people who don't stand a chance against me!" Nova replied confusing her mother as Neoma's eye twitched hearing the word 'saiyan' grabbing the kid by her white Gi pulling her close and personal growling as both of her pupils contacted like a cat bearing her fangs at Nova in an intimidating manner.
"Did you just call us a SAIYAN?! We are nothing like those filthy monkeys do you hear me! Are race is far superior let alone as WE are the last surviving pure blooded Toura-jin beings that roam the entirety of this pathetic Multiverse!!" She exclaimed giving her kid a life lesson let alone revealing what she actually was as a tiger like stripe pattern was seen appearing on Neoma's tail while two stripes on both sides of her face appeared resembling more of a tiger than a monkey surprising Nova who too was capable of doing so and yet her power greatly surpasses those in all Universes and isn't aware of it at first.
"T-Toura-jin? What is a Toura-jin? I never heard of one of those before, mother" Nova stuttered in her reply as Neoma released her Gi put the distance between them again despite still being angered on being called a Saiyan.
"It's hard to explain other than that our species is ancient closely related to the Saiyan-jin race, however there is a huge difference between both races as we use our powers to create a peaceful world, protecting the weak and innocent from danger while Saiyans on the other hand fight, destroy and conquer worlds killing what they consider as weak tainting their own blood let alone the desire to fight for the fun of it. And I refuse to let you become one of them too no matter how hard it'll be you will never intertwine with a filthy monkey like Zorion or Kane, it'll destroy everything I've worked so hard to maintain a strong and healthy bloodline" Neoma explain in the best way possible knowing the feelings Nova has for the God even if he was extremely powerful, if she hated saiyan's so bad then why isn't she trying to pull Nova away from the Son family and those that surround them?
"So you're racist? Wow, do all Toura-jin's judge a book by its cover because in the past 18 years before you came my life was great, protecting the people who live on Earth as well as the Universe it self by my father's side and now you want to push them away from me?! I refuse to follow down your stupid path if I can't be with the ones I love and where were you when I needed you, huh? You may have saved my life, but that doesn't mean I have to sacrifice my own joy in life just be as stuck up as you! now, GIVE ME BACK MY BODY?!" Nova exclaimed back who's eyes too contacted like Neoma's as a familiar tiger pattern appeared on her unusually long tail while a unusually strong surge of power came out over taking the current possessor not aware of how semi-permanent this first transformation will be as the next time she won't be as so lucky. Nova now had full control of her body as this power she had just unleashed echoed throughout the Multiverse while she just floated there looking completely different as something caught the corner of her making Nova look seeing that her tail had tiger like stripes intriguing her while Riaura remained shocked at what she had just bare witness to a new unlocked potential in Nova's ability.
"N-Nova.." Riaura mumbled before quickly grabbing her friend and teleported back home in front of everyone as they glanced over seeing this being unaware that it was Nova due to the immense power and change in her appearance. "You need to power down before you get some unwanted attention drawn to us" She whispered feeling the eyes glance over at Nova as she looked back at them seeing her family and friends staring surprised a what they're witnessing not sure to meet such a strong and docile being like this before.
"Wow, you guys okay? It looks like you've seen a ghost or something" Nova spoke up as they all sighed with relief now aware of who this was while Zorion walked over with Gohan who grew curious on what happened to his little sister's pure white appearance.
"Nova, is that really you? You look so different, but at least your hair is still white" Gohan said as he was bopped on the face by her fluffy tail a thing she did commonly to everyone in her family especially her father and brothers as they don't have tails. "Does dad know about this?" He asked as Nova stopped for a minute not sure that he would other than the huge power out burst while he was away training, but as he said that both Goku and Vegeta was seen appearing with both Whis and Lord Beerus aware of the power up and sighed to know that Earth was still in tact.
"You sure that your stupid kid has those meddling tantrums under control? I thought she had blown up the planet you fool!" Vegeta yelled at Goku who nervously rubbing the back of his neck before spotting the back of Nova as he too didn't know it was standing beside his son.
"Who's that guy over there? I don't believe I've seen them before and kinda reminds me of Nova with the white hair" Goku said walking over to little group as Gohan turned around seeing his dad walking up towards them catching Nova's attention too making her turn around and making him freeze at the sight of her. "NOVA!" He exclaimed knowing for a fact that it was her even if she looked so much different than before rushing over seeing this new form he thought was cool reminding him of a cat. "Is this like a new transformation? You finally had your first transformation!" He said pulling her into a big old hug proud about such an achievement pulling off such a trick on her own embarrassing her in front of everyone.
"Dad! You're embarrassing! It only happened because Neoma tried to harm Ilon when he attacked the city" Nova said making Goku release her at the name he somehow remembered from a little chat with Whis about the old gods of the Unknown Universe while everything else when in and out as non important info.
"Neoma you say, hm? Isn't she the one who's married to Ebba? And she's still stuck in your body! Oh boy, Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Goku said to himself unaware of the full on built hatred the old Goddess had for Saiyans despite once being in a relationship with a Saiyan who respectfully gained her respect after saving her which resulted in Nova's birth.
"Dad.. I need her out of my body, NOW!" Nova suddenly became serious growing increasingly worried to have this woman inside her body for any longer after the confrontation she had earlier which scared the poor lass.
"Why? What did she do?" Gohan asked as Nova twiddled with her fingers unsure if Neoma was listening remembering every word she said in those few minutes they shared in her subconscious mind over a misunderstanding on history and blood.
"She.. got aggressive and told me somethings that are confusing me and I am scared that she'll hurt you and anyone who has Saiyan blood within them.. She hates Saiyans, dad" Nova replied looking up at the over protective father as the once happy moment turned serious between the Goku and Gohan feeling the fear emitting off her.
"You know exactly where we need to go.. Don't you, Nova?" Goku asked implying to the Grand Priest an angel which Nova isn't a great fan off seeing despite vising rarely with her father to see the king in order to maintain reassurance that her power will remain contained unless absolutely necessary.
"F-fine! Just don't leave me alone in that place.. it's very scary alone" Nova replied as Goku knew her fear of due to her PTSD flashbacks whenever his name or anything related to the Priest is mentioned making her hide behind him or quiver in fear of being locked away in silence for all eternity. While arriving Nova remained hidden behind Goku while Whis guided them through the palace where the Grand Priest awaits aware of the job he had to do and the fear this poor kid had over him.
"Don't worry I promised to be gentle" The Grand Priest said looking down at the scared Toura-jin that hide behind Goku who gently grabbed and pulled her forward now face to face with the angel as he held a hand out. "Come, It won't take long and i'll banish this evil God from your body and free you from this threat once and for all" He continued to talk in a calm way guiding her into the middle of the room having Nova stand in the center preparing to begin the ritual and separate these two souls that are trapped in one body.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Neoma took over yelling at the Priest who exhaled trapping Nova's body in place making it practically impossible to move seeing a side to Neoma that the books have completely missed out. "Release me this instant you angel! NOW!" She demanded as the Priest refused to listen to such a impure side of the so called peace keeper knowing that this wasn't the real Neoma he once grew up with.
"Ever since the Unknown Universe was revived, Neoma was brought back too leaving her burdens and evil energy behind within Nova's fragile body without realising forcing an evil spirit to appear in her place and lead her down a path that she once changed in order to maintain peace and equality that once thrived in all Universes" The Priest muttered on knowing his old friend very well putting a spell on Nova's body maintaining the demon, but she now had full control of her body releasing her she fell to the floor weakened as Goku rushed over glad that the worst part was over. "I only did what was best, if the demon was to be released havoc will reek so I did the safest option and locked it away until its power can be truly be unleashed and contained when her body can handle such power on its own" He added bringing some relief to the two no longer having this faker take control of Nova's body whenever it is at his most vulnerable state. "However.. I must notify you with a message from Xzander himself. I must apologise for the late response, but a new tournament will be happening next year on the same day as today. The rules are up to him to decide and is between his Universe are your very own so chose your allies wisely, Son Goku" The grand Priest mentioned telling the Saiyan about a upcoming tournament that will not involve the king nor himself just Universe 7 and the revived Unknown Universe which contained the strongest of warriors. The sound of fighting such a strong Universe and new opponents intrigued Goku as this would mean putting his and Nova's powers to the test even if her striped tiger like state was hidden away along with the demon for safe keeping. "Nova, if you ever use that power again.. please use it wisely as that can do much more than destroy planets and I doubt that you want to be trapped away again for all eternity just like your father, so be careful when unleashing your hidden potential" The Priest warned the young Toura-jin as she nodded along knowing exactly what he means glad to be back in her base form again knowing that it'll be awhile until she can draw out that unlimited power again along side with that damned demon too.
"Lets go back home and begin our training!" Goku said riled up for this tournament knowing that a lot of new strong enemies will be there facing them for the fate of their precious Universe 7 even though the outcome will do more damage than erasure if they lose. Will Nova ever be able to control this power? And what will reveal to the warriors when precious time for training runs out? And who will be waiting on the other side when Xzander the new Saiyan God reveals himself?
