Chapter 25
Training continued on for years while Nova watched and tutored both of her fathers, brothers and his friends on becoming powerful enough to maybe one day stand up to Xzander and take him down along side her once and for all in order to free the multiverse of his endless tyranny before it is too late.
However back on Planet Taruta Riaura was sat in her room minding her own business as she shared this king sized bed with her mate Alvar the supposed only son that were to ever belong to the King of this planet, but it won't take long as someday after Xzander's war ends Riaura can finally have what would've been rightfully hers if the King wasn't so selfish on killing her entire species.
"You will become an outstanding warrior one day no matter what you are, mama will always protect you even if she is no longer walking with the living. A promise is a promise" Riaura said talking to the baby that was rapidly growing inside her as days go by becoming stronger and stronger just like she promised her father it'll turn out to be because of her perfect DNA. The princess wasn't aware that her disappearance back on Earth was making a huge impact on her family as they worry senseless about her well-being and where she could've went is still unknown.
Riaura remained protected by personally hand chosen guards by prince Alvar himself while he goes out for personal matters leaving her alone in the presence of his father who could potentially attack her without anyone even knowing, but she wasn't going to let him get that easily. The doors to her room slightly opened allowing the king to storm inside as she laid there under the sheets on the bed silently glaring at him assuring dominance in a domain he has no control over.
"Good afternoon, Riaura. I come here to personally tell you that dinner has been made and wish for you to come and eat with me so we can.. know more about one another, for my son" He proposed sounding like a king and yet inside he grew nervous not wanting his son to hate him if he she chooses to decline his invitation. This got her attention as she sat up revealing that he has caught her interest and was considering her actions.
"Dinner with me? Are you doing this so I won't end up killing you?" She questioned knowing his full on well that this king was a coward unlike his son who is the complete opposite from the man who made him.
"Maybe, but I do wish to know more about my future daughter-in-law before she becomes Queen and ruler of this entire planet and those that are under our protection" He replied not sounding that bad of a king as it does give Riaura a good idea when it comes to knowing more about the king and maybe find a way to make him less likely to kill her when she is sleeping.
"Fine. I accept your invitation, but if anything bad happens I will let Alvar know about it" She threatened knowing how much more powerful the prince is compared to the king seeing fear form within his eyes knowing full on that Alvar won't hesitate to kill him due to how overprotective he had become over her and his unborn cub she is carrying.
"Yes.. Now would you please follow me down to the dinning room where we will begin to discuss everything there" He kindly replied as she out of bed wanting to be nice to him now as he already had enough torment done today and some food sounded like a decent reward as it has been awhile since she has had a decent meal.
When sitting down on the table far away from the king who ensured that no one would enter while they privately chat and ate together. "How is it here on Taruta? Is it to your liking?" He asked wanting her thoughts on how the service is wanting to hear if there is anything she wants him to improve.
"It's fine I guess, but I prefer Earth better because of its food" She replied liking the food slightly more back on Earth where she originally grew up on until being kidnapped by her supposed boyfriend and brought here to a warrior raced planet filled with apes. The king took notes down to improve the food and maybe go to this Earth and learn some of their recipes if he wants a chance of surviving for the rest of his life. "Do you know who Prince Vegeta is?" She mentioned bringing up the one that raised her from day one of crashing on Earth. The king however knew this name from one in particular due to traveling through the galaxy for several centuries, but he never thought of hearing it now in his castle.
"Yes, why do you ask?" He asked growing curious to know why she wanted to know seeing her smirk at him which then he saw a striking similarity of her blood father come through.
"He's the one that raised me and trained me so no matter what you throw at me, *pours drink on the floor beside her* I will always counter attack" She replied as he looked at her confused on why she had wasted his expensive fruit punch he got from another planet and seeing his expression made her aware that he had no say in this. "Are you aware that there was poison in that drink? It smelt too sweet to be a expensive beverage my king, so be a kind gentleman and find the one responsible or i'll be alerting Alvar of this whenever he comes back" she said making it pretty clear that this was some sort of an assassin attempt on killing her without the King's knowledge as he panicked knowing that something like this shouldn't go unpunished especially when it involves a royal like herself.
"I humbly apologise about this! I will deal with this as soon as possible" He replied before leaving Riaura alone in the dining area to find this traitor before his son arrives home later on tomorrow morning allowing her to dig in to as much food as possible before going back up to her room alongside a guard to remained vigilant on his surroundings until she got back to her room unharmed. However it didn't take long for a someone to grass to the king finding the one who applied the poison instantly sentencing them to death, but he wanted to wait until Alvar came back to prove that he was a worthy king on the throne no matter how old he seemed to have become and yet when the prince arrived hearing about the news he changed the sentencing so he personally would kill the assassin before he tries to do anything else to future rulers of this kingdom as Riaura watched from afar as Alvar splattered their blood across the arena's floor killing them instantly seeing how cold blooded her future king could be making him perfect to be her mate as a brave man who would fight for his woman is a good man.
Back in the training room Nova watched from afar while everyone trained receptively in her personal made dimensional training room that doesn't effect anything outside from it. She kept an eye out for anything that would need to be improved despite wanting to fight Beerus several times, but he was napping having no need to get involved as there was no one strong enough left to spar against her as Zorion was fighting in a free for all against both of her dads and Vegeta making her sigh and sit down resting her hand against her cheek becoming increasingly bored not seeing an up coming beam coming towards her.
"WATCH OUT!!" Ebba exclaimed getting Nova's attention, but not in the direction he hopes to have her look seeing it flying at her with intense speed as a barrier came over her just in time when the beam hit causing a huge explosion as smoke could be seen around her while Ebba rushed over landing in the smoke wafting it about before finally seeing the barrier as he sighed with relief as the barrier went away. "Are you okay, kid?" He asked seeing her confused on who could've sent a powerful attack at her like that.
"I'm fine, but who did that? I could've gotten seriously hurt if it wasn't for that barrier getting in the way" Nova replied as Zorion and Goku came down rather guilty proving to be the culprits of that huge blast.
"Hehe, sorry about that, I kinda got too into the fight and wasn't paying attention to my surrounding" Zorion nervously laughed while Goku scratched the back of his head being the one to deflect the blast as he was still in his mastered ultra instinct form while Ebba he was in a completely different state entirely.
"Why don't you two continue training while I spar with Nova? I'm sure she's becoming quite restless just sitting here doing nothing" Ebba suggested which perked at her interest seeing how eager she was to train with someone even if her destroyer power still needs to be perfected if she wants any chance of helping them take down Xzander.
"Really?! I can train with you!" Nova excitedly asked being a bit over dramatic, but it seemed to have lightened the mood quite a bit not realising that someone was feeling rather left out and jealous that she chose real father other adoptive father, but maybe it was for the best as the show they were going to preform would be very blood pumping.
The two chose a far spot in the distance while the others stopped to watch wondering who was going to win in this friendly spar between father and daughter. "Don't hold back on me, buttercup" Ebba replied expecting big things from her being a destroyer, but not a completely destroyer of Universe 7 just yet until she regains control of her power of the gods and what she inherited from her mother.
"Oh trust me, you won't be disappointed, pops" She replied making it pretty clear that this old god is truly ancient and the power he wields is out of this world putting her to think on how to beat him without using too much of her power despite being stuck in her striped tiger form leaving her tail as stripy like a tiger.
"Oh I know I wont be" Ebba replied with a cheeky smirk as the two got into their respected battle stances ready to start fighting looking into one another's eyes while being several feet away from one another bring tension through the dimensional training realm.
Ebba went for the first attack as he dashed towards her making Nova quickly move back using her arms to block his endless attacks as they were fast and hard when making contact giving her no chances of counterattacking leaving Nova to be on the defensive.
"Crap. I'm completely backed up, If I don't come up with something quick then i'll surely loose!" Thinking to herself in a panic trying to come up with a plan to strike back and take advantage in the fight, but he was more in control than Goku was of MUI (mastered ultra instinct) as Ebba's was more elite and in control with the power and speed that comes with it.
"What's the matter, can't keep up?" Ebba asked slightly mocking her a bit even though she never once got a chance to power up and go head to head with this guy as she gritted her teeth growing impatient before pushing him back leaving herself wide open as he landed a heavy attack sending her flying several hundred feet as she managed to stop herself from going any further finally getting serious as she glared at him from where she was stood before suddenly powering up going higher than Goku's MUI form in both stats and BP especially the speed, but was it enough to get the upper hand against Ebba? "Oh, won't you look at that. I can finally go against you in my MUI form now, we are like almost equal in power!" Ebba stated wanting to find out if she has what it takes to go beyond his MUI form and be worthy on tasting his newfound power.
"I guess there's only one way to find out" Nova said randomly disappearing before reappearing behind Ebba dealing a powerful blow knocking the wind out of him as he grabbed her tail yanking it back as she flinched from how tightly he was grabbing it throwing her back as she stopped looking up at he came rushing at her again this time he was serious and not happy catching her off guard before doing a significant amount of damage causing her to cough out blood which wasn't a good sigh, but something was wrong with Ebba he seemed to gave lost control as his hair seemed to be glowing faintly until finally transforming into the one form all life should fear grabbing a hold of her next forcing her to look at him and his now fiery red hair as his eyes were now orange matching the flaming aura that flowed around him forcing Zorion to jump in just to be blasted back by Ebba.
"Stay out of my way!" He yelled which then Nova looked over seeing Zorion turn back into his base form completely knocked out cold as she glanced back at her opponent who has lost all control of himself seeing Goku and Vegeta come rushing over with intentions to stop this fight from turning bloody. Anger took over Nova feeling a new power begin to flow through her body as sparkling white lighting could be seen emitting from her body as the aura around her continued to grow and grow the more Ebba kept on squeezing against her throat. The two saiyans were soon easily stopped ending up just like Zorion seriously hurting them right in front of her which wasn't giving him any favors on winning this fight.
"Get.. off.. ME!"She yelled using her power that was building with her to break free and push him back giving her space as she launched at him seeing this evil side of the power he has within him leaving her no one choice, but to fight and so she did while her power continued to grow every time they clashed growing increasingly stronger than Ebba by every second that passes not realising that she had turned her Hakai energy into positive energy unaware that she now has complete control over her new destroyer energy she had made during this fight to what could've been to the death if it wasn't for a hard chop to the neck that ended the fight as Ebba passed out hitting the ground below him before turning back to his base form while white sparkling lighting emitted from her body as her eyes were more pure and divine than before while her white hair sparkled looking more like an angel if she were to actually become one.
Ebba and the others that intervened with the fight were quickly treated and laid out of harms way while Nova was left to observe her new form of destroyer energy which normally forms black lightning, but hers was the complete opposite proving that this position isn't for her, but she had a job to do before thinking about stepping down from her position an yet she wondered what else is there to do when being a destroyer.
Zorion was the first to wake up seeing that Ebba was actually stopped, but not by the ones he thought did it, but the woman he had married and surpassed even him in power standing in front of him in all her divine glory. He stood up walking over to her feeling this divine energy over flow throughout her body falling deeper into this woman even though there was something off about him as he hasn't been himself lately, but Nova wasn't paying attention as she would be busy seeing to Zora they son and possibly the next God Of Destruction after she stands down from her post.
"How did you do it?" He asked wanting to know where this pure energy resigned from as most Gods have more negative KI and yet this has never happened before as she looked at him more confused than he was as she too expected to be overflowed with negative energy like Ebba and her teacher Beerus.
"I.. don't really know" she responded not really helping him as he too wanted this power desiring to be stronger than Xzander and his brother Ebba who were born from Gods themselves as their blood runs through their veins making him wonder who else has such power and isn't aware that they have it. Zorion sighed as Goku woke up slightly dazed, but he too instantly catching onto Nova's higher state standing himself up as he walked over shoving Zorion out of the way. "Dad! That's Zorion you're pushing" Nova yelled concerned about her husband as Goku just looked on not really caring, but shrugged it off.
"He'll be fine, it was just a little push. And the way he's been treating you lately be glad that I and your brothers haven't beaten him up yet" He replied which could make sense onto why he and Zorion was fighting so intensely earlier as she shook her head slowly expecting much from these idiots planning to maintain in this divine state in order to grow stronger and more in control.
"Do you want to train with me?" she asked making it clear that she still has a lot left inside her and from the nap he had surely he'll be able to get at least a few hits before she takes him down, but Goku wanted to know what transformation Ebba was in that pushed Nova to her absolute limits.
"Sure, but what was that form Ebba was in? I wonder if I can reach it" Goku replied clearly intrigued wondering if he too can reach that far if it's really that much stronger than MUI and could actually help him fight against Xzander and his puny minions.
"So, do you want me to push you even further beyond?" Nova asked getting the picture as he nodded in response with a smirk knowing that she can push him that far and when Ebba wakes up then maybe he too can help and make things even more difficult for him while increasing the chances of reaching his new set goal. Will he really be able to get that far? Or is something else needed to allow this saiyan to go further beyond MUI?
