Ah...it was an amazing day outside. Or rather a terrible one for most. Fire was everywhere, lives were going out left and right. Everyone was dying. This was what remained of Universe 7. Flames and smoke burned everywhere. Not a peep from the destroyed buildings. All the screams died down as the buildings came down. Poor souls crushed to death or blasted away. A small mercy compared to living in these awful conditions.
All because of one delusional saiyan. The one most called a hero was now a villain causing chaos and destruction. Humanity was scarce and those who were alive struggled to survive. At the moment, the villain of the story, watched his vision of justice being enacted. Said saiyan stood over one of the destroyed buildings triumphantly. His gaze turned to the destroyed remains of the metropolis as a grin crept on his face. Soon justice would be enacted throughout all the timelines, and this time, no one would stand in his way.
Trunks. That was the only person in this timeline who actually stood a chance against him. By chance, he meant wouldn't die immediately just by a ki blast. He had to admit, the man was stubborn and rather skilled, but was too weak to pose much threat to him. Just like all mortals that had come before him, all fell against the power of a god.
He already did this to one timeline, n ow he just needed to get rid of the blue haired nuisance. Trunks wasn't that strong, but he was fast and knew when to take a run for it. It was the only reason the pest was still alive at this point. The stupid mortal managed to escape, but that didn't matter. His goal was almost complete, but something was missing.
Ah yes, that what it was. He needed. A shield. A living one would suffice for his plan. That way, the zero mortal plan would go a lot faster and he'd be able to speed up the plan. The other timelines wouldn't conquer itself would they?
However, where could get the shield? No mortal was getting such a position, however he needed someone to use to his advantage. The plan he had in mind couldn’t be laid to waste because he didn't have anyone at his side. Two heads are better than one.
Narrowing his onyx eyes, his gaze turned toward the time ring on his finger. Almost as if it was magic, his memory finally clicked. Now he knew who could help. His memory was a bit foggy due to the saiyan dna, but that was a minor drawbacks. He had an idea, the perfect shield would make his life easier.
There was a large maniacal grin on his face. Time to pay Universe 10 a visit. He had been saving his former mentor a visit. More out of a small tiny grain of respect for him, wanting to give his mentor the liberty of losing his life last against his blade. Should be an honor, his former mentor should be glad that he delayed killing him. However, the time has come to get rid of the trash.
“Alright Gowasu, let's see how Universe 10 is doing. I’ll be happy to finally see you again.” The grin on Black’s face didn't leave his face, as within a blinding flash of light the delusional psychopath vanished from the destroyed timeline.
In the distance, a raven haired woman watched this from afar, bewildered how the enemy just vanished from thin air.”This isn't good. Black isn't here anymore, but I doubt he's going to be staying there for long.” In the very least, it meant a few more minutes of survival. This wasn't surprising, but now she just had to find Trunks. Hopefully he wasn't too injured. It was better than Black being in their world.
Meanwhile…
It was a sunny day in the realm of the kais of Universe 10. In the middle of of the peaceful realm was a giant temple that took up a large portion of the land. Inside a hidden part of the temple, an lime kai with ivory hair stood in the ancient room. Inside the room was a bunch of cabinets with gold frames.
Soon enough, this would be his. Being an apprentice for thousands of years, this would be it. He would be a Supreme Kai in enough time. Over the years, he had improved his fighting skills and managed to advance himself to higher levels. His mentor was always understanding, maybe a bit too understanding considering he still had a dislike of mortals.
Mortals. Those beings he had no good will toward. But thanks to being around Gowasu for thousands of years, his attitude kind naturally rubbed off on him. He didn't want to admit it, but he cared for the guy like a father, and was always there for him. Thanks to him, his dislike of mortals had decreased to a reasonably if not healthy level.
All was going well. His time to rise to his Supreme Kai position was on the horizon, a job most kai’s would dream of. He remembered the look on his face when Gowasu first appointed him to the job. To say the least, he was flabbergasted by this choosing. He expected Gowasu to choose anyone other than him, but fate just decided to look his way for once.
Ever since, he was an apprentice, no longer a lower ranked kai in Universe 10. Zamasu smiled looking over the cabinets. After all, he has bigger things to worry about, Gowasu is going to be needing his tea sooner or later. Might as well get to it.
Speaking of Gowasu.”Zamasu, could you please go get me some tea?” His mentor’s voice could be heard from an entire mile away, no surprise there.
The apprentice blinked before smiling..”Coming Gowasu, I’ll be over there soon.” He was beyond used to this routine. He served Gowasu tea for over thousands of years, so it was time for some tea.
Wasting no time, Zamasu quickly grabbed the tea cart and a teapot and teacups. He brought some food along just to be considerate towards his mentor. He had done so much for him, that he felt it would be a bit disappointing just to serve him the regular.
Within a few minutes, the door creaked open with the young apprentice, tea cart in hand with a optimistic smile on his face. He traveled inside the main room during Universe 10, the largest part of the temple. The oak table and traditional chairs stood in the middle.
Zamasu looked up to see his mentor sitting at the table patiently. He calmly approached his teacher and closed his eyes and looked away from his superior.”Greetings Gowasu, I’ve brought you some tea and some snacks.”
He poured some tea in two separate cups and gave Gowasu some some deserts. He set them down on the table for his teacher. Gowasu blinked before looking up to his student with a sense of pride inside.”Aw, that's so sweet of you Zamasu. I see I made the right choice in choosing you.”
The younger kai blushed and lowered his ears.“Um...Thank you,G-Gowasu. You're too kind.”
“No need to thank me, Zamasu. You worked hard for these things, and it's the reason I took you under my wing. I could see your potential and what you could offer Universe 10. It's why I wanted to talk to you. Come on, sit down.”
“Huh? I don't understand. Talk to me about what?”
Gowasu sighed.”Well Zamasu, soon enough this realm will be yours. You’ll be able to create life and pursue balance across the universe.”
“Of course, it's necessary for the universe to prosper. The only for us to improve is enact justice upon the the planets in order to protect what is left.”
“Well I’m glad to hear this. Because I’m proud to have you as my student and I believe you should know this.”
The kai flinched.“Uh...what? Gowasu, what are you talking about?”
“Zamasu, in due time, you’ll be the supreme kai. I want you to go out there and represent our universe and protect the innocent.”
The younger apprentice sighed.“Ok. I guess so.”
What? He said he didn't utterly hate them, that didn't mean he liked them.
Gowasu sighed.“Zamasu, I know you are capable of doing this job. I know what you can do, you just need to treat all life equal regardless of the species. Because you never know how important these mortals can be."
“I see...but don't you think this is bit soon?”
Sure, he liked the idea of being in charge of the universe, but knowing what had to happen in order for Gowasu to pass the position to him wasn't exactly thrilling.
