Post by Rumia on Mar 4, 2021 12:46:55 GMT
The time for bickering over formalities could wait, The cares of gods had no place in the current moment. Because Atsuko had lost herself in her rage for the fallen god. Rumia had dreaded this, dreaded Akisei's taughts towards the saiyan. Dawn and Atsumo were connected like a thread, even more so now. Ut only made sense the memories and emotions of Dawn would blend with Atsuko's own. She should have insisted they wait on this kind of meeting... though she coudn't be sure the same wouldn't have happened later on. Dawn despised Akisei more than anything, and Atsuko had already began to take up those feelings with the mere mention of her. Now... it had all broken out like this, because of her failure to once again see into the future. Atsuko radiated great power, not the power of a Super Saiyan... but close. It was a rarity driven even more by rage, until one lost themself. Rage... and pain. It was sad for Rumia to see, who knew Dawn and Atsuko were so much more than this raging machine that clashed with Akisei. She was so much more than a feral animal.
She had to act, now. This wasn't training. They weren't making demons here, even if it might be what Akisai preferred.
"Hel!"
"Already on it!"
Came the response from Hel as she dashed forth in front of the raging saiyan. She did so without hesitation. Her sister was not a beserker. She was not one of Akisei's rampaging demons. It was about time she showed just that.
Rumia meanwhile teleported behind Akisei... and grabbed her. Not in a way to hold her down mind you, her hands gone straight to her wounds, using her Art Of Creation:Cure to begin knitting her wounds back together. Despite this she kept a firm hold on her fellow kai. She wasnt going to allow this to continue.
"You won't be doing anything like that Lime, we both know this isnt just training anymore. This isnt the time to be petty with her like this, stand down. You'll have plenty of time to fight her during training proper. For now... watch"
Hel stood without fear before the raging Atsuko. Her aura had begun to flare, an aura Akisei would be able to notice if she hadnt already. It was a divine aura, Rumia's divine aura, her energy flowing out from Hel. She stood their, waiting for the beserk to attack. When she did Hel move directly in its path. Upon her hands forged two metal gloves via the Art Of Creation:Armory (Melee] techique. Using her powered hands she would hold back the force of Atsuko's blow, holding her in place.
Hear me sis
She touched her mind to the feral one Atsuko's had become. A calming touch amongst a raging whirlpool. As much as she would love to see Akisei's smug face beaten into a pulp this was not how it would happen. This caused her sister to much pain. It caused her to become something she was not. She knew well the greatest triumph for her sister would be to defeat Akisei as herself, in control. Defeating her as a wild animal would mean nothing to her in the end.
Your more than this. Your more than an animal stalking its prey, Your Dawn... your Atsuko... a person, not an animal. Follow my voice.... come back to us
Rumia observed from their place above, Rumia still with a firm hold on Akisei the whole time, though it had lessened if she stopped trying to interfere.
"An alternative to what her mother came up with, I suppose you could say. I told you Hel could handle this. My own art to counteract the little... issue you introduced to the saiyan race dear Lime. Contacting them directly, soothing their mind, and finally releasing the transformation all together. Primal Reversion I like to call it!"
The kai gave wink, she was clealry proud of the development-proud she had come up with a way not to counter Akisei persay. But to soothe that anger present in the saiyans, that powerful primal transformation, even if it was only while she or Hel were around.
On Hel's end she had begun playing back memories to the enraged Atsuko. Memories of Rumia's time with Dawn, With Atsuko. Time with Hel. Moment after happy moment to show Atsuko exaclty who she was-that this anger wasnt the answer.
I can feel you, come back, rest your weary head head in my arms... she can handle it for now. It's all ok Atsuko, it's all ok sis. It's ok..."
One might assume Hel referred to Rumia as the one who could handle things, but she would be wrong. This transformation was going to exhaust Atsuko once it was released. She would need to rest and as she did well....
Someone had to take the reigns right?
"Primal Reversion"
Hel finally said aloud and as she did the aura began to die down. As a side effect Atsuko would also find herself likely collapsing from exhaustion, though strangely not for long. When she did Hel immedlity grabbed hold of her, steadying her for what was to come.
"I've got you, sis"
She smiled.
At this point Rumia had released her ex and began floating back down, signaling to Akisei it was now safe if she didnt know already.
"You did amazingly Hel, I'm proud of you"
In response Hel first gave a bright smile, them stuck her tongue out at Akisei. The implication was clear, the big bad grannies plan had failed again!
"Now then I do believe a certain jig is up now..."
Those confused by her words need only look to the now shifting form of Atsuko to have their answer. Hair color changing, restyling. Clothes shifting. Atsuko had fainted and Rumia clearly wasnt doing this herself. Whatever could be causing this development? What those clothes, what her hair was shifting to... it would be very familiar to everyone there.
Rumia only smiled and offered her a hand.
"I don't think your anger mixes well with itself ey... Dawn?"

Perhaps Akisei was expecting a more conversational-based Saiyan at the moment; but the way that the raging being was carrying herself now was certainly not in the mood to talk. All the taunts were now like rain rolling off her back. Her anger had piqued, and nothing would stop her until she destroyed the source of all this pain. Not just for herself, but for Rumia -- and so many others. She might have been acting as a feral animal. But it was also currently hunting a prey. Losing the scent would not be so easy.
The warrior turns and casts her gaze up towards the now wounded Makaioshin. Seeing all of that energy being charged prompted Atsuko to do the same, pulling both hands back and charging two more spheres of that unstable green energy, just like she had done before. " Aaakkiiiiseeeeiiii...." , escaped from her mouth in a growl.
It seemed as though nothing would stop this rampaging beast -- right up until Rumia and Hel both fly into action. The pink Kai restrains Akisei, while the girl packed with all of that divine power squared off with the Pseudo Super Saiyan. That hate-filled stare was still directed at the Makaioshin... So it allowed Hel to do what she needed to do uninterrupted. Just as Atsuko thrusts her hands forward to unleash one attack after the other, Hel closed the distance and stopped the blasts point blank, and was now grappling with the Saiyan.
At first, Atsuko struggled. But then hearing a soothing voice caused the rampage to halt. Her power was still overwhelming, and it didn't look as though reason had fully returned to her yet. But more than just a voice offering comforting words, Hel also showed all the good moments of the past... The Saiyan stared wide-eyed, and then her power begins to drop. Her hair begins to fall, and the fiery green aura begins to dissipate.
Finally, Primal Reversion had taken it's full effect, and Atsuko returned to her base form. Nearly immediately, she began to fall. Fortunately, Hel caught her. " I... Lost control-?" The Knight managed to speak, her body feeling the extreme fatigue -- and some pain from the impromptu transformation. But ultimately, she had been soothed right into unconsciousness. Not long after, the Saiyan's body went through an apparent metamorphosis. The shape and build changing -- but still remaining decidedly feminine. The tied hair soon ran long and free, and changed in coloration from blonde to a red and yellow. Those robes began to change to a very familiar signature outfit as well. The girl that was soon left so exhausted and unable to stand was now perfectly fine. Offering a smile and a headpat to Hel. " Thanks for your help, sis." , she spoke softly. A far cry from the pure rage that was shown before.
When Rumia approached and offered a hand, Dawn accepted. Yes, it really was her. Unmistakably so. If there was any doubt to it, there wasn't when she soon turned her attention to Akisei. Her gaze and smile both becoming more determined." It's been a long time, Akisei. So allow me to go through the list of problems I have with what you said." , she calls out to her rival." You always did have a problem with Rumia showing her love for others. Well. GET OVER IT." , she stated bluntly. " Especially if you're going to act like you care so much about the rules and the delicate balance. YOU are the one that overstepped your boundaries and began to twist everything to your desires and will. But your worst mistake was TRYING to erase me." She had a lot to unpack with the Makaioshin. For too long, this accursed woman was let to run free and believe whatever she wanted. " You made the Saiyans like this. We used to be better. You're the farce here." , Dawn then points out. " But even more than that... Your actions led to Atsuko becoming a Legendary Super Saiyan -- and I only have one thing to say to that." She grins. " Have fun with the new Broly to your Paragus." , oh yeah... Dawn was aware of a great many things. That in itself would be a hint to it. " I can also tell you that you would have lost that fight handily. Make sure you thank the ones that actually know how to clean up what YOU screw up." She then straightens out a bit more. " As for your 'love life'. I'm unconvinced a creature as lowly, pathetic, and twisted as you can even show such an emotion. You don't care about anything but yourself and your plans. Stop acting like you're any better than the "mortals" you judge." And with that. She turns away, her smile and gaze both becoming softer as she looks towards Rumia. " It really doesn't mix together well. I thought I was suppressing it enough, but... I guess the connection between myself and Atsuko is too strong. It was bound to happen sooner or later -- I'm just glad you two were here to help." Dawn really was thankful that both Rumia and Hel were present. She was trying to get through to Atsuko the entire time -- but that kind of rage is hard to quell without a proper technique to do so... Especially with the source of anger still present and chipping away at their patience. Rumia Akisei Notes: Atsuko's PL returns to 345. Dawn takes control, and has the same PL as Atsuko -- but that energy changes as well. Signature now matches Dawn, instead of Atsuko.

As soon as the fight had begun, it was already ending. Hel was restraining Atsuko now, and Rumia was now tending to her wounds. She looked at the Kai in surprise, the vortex of darkness still swirling in her hand. There was no longer additional ki being poured into it though. Then she smiled slightly.
“You’ll be in trouble if word gets out you had an opportunity to kill the devil and instead healed her.” She said simply. She was capable of healing her own wounds. But it was good to see that Rumia was willing to go this far for her. So her feelings for her were still this strong. It was everything that Akisei hoped for.
She wrinkled her nose at the mention of developing a technique to counteract what she had done to the Saiyans. Once Rumia moved away and Atsuko was once again under control, Akisei released her technique, the vortex around her hand dispersing. It was then she felt a familiar aura. Her face paled, her tail standing up stiff as she recognized it. And then she saw her. The face of someone she never thought she’d see again.
“You! How did you awaken?! You should have slept inside Atsuko’s soul and become a part of her! How did my…”
Akisei bit her tongue intentionally, hard enough to draw blood. She could taste the metallic tang in her mouth. In her shock and panic she had almost let something slip. Something that she wanted no one else to know. She hadn’t even told Rumia about it, and there was no way she would know. She clenched her fists, seething in hatred.
She had never hated a being more than she hated this mortal. She felt like the universe had created a being that was meant to stand in her way in every conceivable way. In one sense this persistence was admirable. Truly she was the ultimate spirit, who would not waver and refused to disappear.
Akisei decided to simply lick her own wounds this time around. It wasn’t worth responding to her provocations right now. She’d only come off as weak, given her position. But there would come a day where she would pay for all those insults thrown at her. She also wasn’t going to stay totally silent. Her tail slid to the ground, her eyes narrowing into slits as she stared coldly at the Saiyan below her.
“I don’t do things just out of petty spite. It’s just a bonus to me, getting back at others. Do you want to know why I cursed the Saiyans? Apart from them just being made to be a deliberate, superior version to the humans me and Rumia created? It’s because I originally gave them the role that demons have now. You were supposed to get the slate clean so that only they and humans remained. But they ended up being the lackeys of the Colds instead. If your species had done what it was supposed to do, I wouldn’t have needed to create the demons. Saiyans have always been a frustrating species.”
Akisei floated off the bookshelf, her feet touching the ground. She clapped her hands a couple of times, calling out to the newly awakened soul.
“The worst that would have happened to me if things had continued was that I’d get kicked back down into hell. It would have taken a while to reform fully, but mortals can’t rid themselves of the deities with strength alone. But you’re right, it was my loss. So I’ll give you a couple of hints you can pass onto Atsuko. The first piece of advice I have for you is to help Tomina track down Lucy. You don’t want her opening the door to Makai, believe me. The second is that the assassins are reaching earth soon. And their leader is getting close to unlocking a new power. If you find out where she is beforehand though, then you could strike her before she makes a move here. Better than risking her transforming on Earth, is it not?"
Akisei is healed by Rumia. She releases her charge. The fight is now over.

The kai smiled warmly at Akisei's words. It was true most in her position, even her fellow kais would have taken the oppurtunity to strike the Makaioshin down. What would that solve though? Such a foolish action would only anger the fallen kai and drive her further into darkness. More than that though Rumia had no desire to hurt Akisei. She still loved the woman, even if it was different than before. She still cared about her. She always wanted the best for Akisei, under normal circumstances she could never bring herself to hurt her. She gave a comforting hug to her as they began floating back down.
"Oh well, I've always been a bad kai ya know? I've never wanted to hurt you, I want you to be happy, not hurt, or sad... I will always prefer your smile"
She frowned, shaking her head.
"You could at least try not to provoke each other though..."
She smirked at Akisei' nose wrinkling once the pink kai mentioned her little counter. Yeah she expected that result. She playfully poked her nose and giggled.
"Come onnnn don't be mad~ It was only a matter of time right? If it makes you feel better the race is to rooted to remove from them more than one at a time~"
When Dawn fully formed the Kai was admittedly tempted to sneak another peck on the cheek while she was out. However she restrained herself for now, for Akisei's sake. After all doing so now would only upset her, she had no intention of invoking that.
Hel for her part gave a bright smile and nod, clearly excited at her big sister being ok, cleslry over the moon at this development. Her eyes prarciully sparkled at the head Pat's she recived.
"Of course sis! I'll always be there to support you!"
That being said while Rumia preferred that they could learn to get along she knew well that coudnt happen in a day. It absolutly woudnt happen if Rumia kept butting in and trying to stop their arguments. So she let Dawn speak, she'd let Akisei give her own response in turn. Though their was one bit that caught her attention, and hard. Something shifted her emotions to a much colder state, along with her voice.
"What was that?"
Rumia had spent all this time, century upon century grieving for Dawn. Perhaps to most this would seem like a minute difference. But to Rumia it meant that Akisei knew Dawn was still around in some form, no matter bow small. She knew she hadnt just outright erased her from existence. She knew that, but she let Rumia wither away in her sadness anyway. She let something tha tg could have given her hope stay stashed away. She likely would have continued to do so if she hadnt found out for herself. She gritted her teeth, her hands shook with anger at her side.
"You knew she wasnt gone...? You knew, and you tried to do something even worse?"
It was a rarity that things truly made Rumia mad like this. She could get upset, she could get get angry. But this level of coldeness only came from the most extreme conditions.
Like a lie kept for so many years by Akisei.
"Tell me, finish. If you care about me as much as you claim you will FINISH what you almost muttered out Akisei"
Whether Akisei let slip or not, it was unlikely to soothe the hurt the kai felt in her heart. Akisei claimed to love her, claimed to care about her. But she so easly kept such a major difference from her all these years. Soemthing that could have given her hope, could have risen her from her stupor.
But she kept it from her, because she'd rather take every advantage she could to get them back together, to have her on her side. But all this did was push that further apart in the end. All it did was make Rumia belive she coudnt fully trust the one she'd have once gladly given her heart.
And they kept arguing, kept insulting each other. Again and again. That was all they ever did. She didnt expect them to fully get along, didnt expect them to be buddy buddy. But coudnt they at least try for her? No, of course they coudnt even entertain the idea. She did her best to hide her frustrated emotions, but to Akisei and Dawn most of all that was a fruitless endevior.
"Can't you two even try?"
On the subject of aiding Atsuko well... of course they did. They'd always be there for each other, she would always be there for the people she loved.
"Of course, but more than anything you should be thanking Hel, shes the one that mastered that techique with my powers"
Though she remained silent for most of Akisei's hints, still noticeably upset both with her lie and with the pair's continued arguing, it didnt mean she wasnt listening. That group was coming to earth soon? That would be a pain, she still had to make sure the planet, that the planets under her watch in general had a good defense in place, strong people to push them back. Of course she'd also help Atsuko and Tomina with this issue regarding Lucy, as it had it's own importance. But the more immieditate danger was clear and besides she trusted them to handle it. She'd always be their to give a guiding hand if needed though. Besides she still had to help Tomina with her training to!
"A hint huh? You know how suspicious that makes you look right? sigh... whatever I get it"
She probaly organized them anyway, but she wasnt about to say that aloud. All it would do was ignite another fight between them, and she just coudnt take more of that today.
"I'll make sure the planet is defended, I'm already doing what I can to help people grow, others are even growing without my help..."
She was proud of the people under her watch, such hard workers they were. She coudnt help but smile at that. Oh look the Kai's mood was improving!
....Hopefully what came next didnt sour it again.
"I have no intention of letting things dissolve into pain again. Atsuko, her friends... and the other defenders of the planet... I have complete faith in them"

Now that was quite the opening statement from Akisei! Dawn crosses her arms. " Oh, by all means! Don't stop. I think we're all quite interested in hearing what you have to say, you little sneak." Dawn was clearly not happy with the revelation that Akisei was up to even more than usual... But even setting that aside, she knew firsthand how much this mattered to Rumia. This damned 'Ruler of Hell' was playing with the type of fire that no one should be messing with. The pink Kai already began to spill her heart out over the betrayal that she felt... This is why Dawn was utterly incapable of getting along with Akisei. Because that stupid woman always did everything carelessly.
She gave grand speeches about such highly important things, but it all came down to brass tacks; HER vision of how things should be, and no one else's. When Akisei started blathering on about the Saiyans, that was when Dawn chimed in again. " Gee, I'm sorry that we didn't ELIMINATE MOST MORTAL LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAD A HISSY FIT." She retorts. " But thank you for admitting that's still what you want, because that's how petty you are! You only care about YOUR vision and design for everything! Even your relationship with Rumia! It has to be the exact thing that tailors you perfectly. If it's even slightly misaligned, it has to be toyed with just like everything else." She gestures to Rumia. " Look her in the eyes and tell her that every last part of this was worth it. Instead of posturing against me like you always do." One was able to understand exactly why Dawn had the reaction that she did to Akisei now. Or at least they had a clearer picture of it. When Rumia asks if they can even try... It prompts the Ancient Saiyan to straighten out and sigh. " ... What's there to try with? She's tried to erase me, and when she failed at that, she dipped her hands in to mess around with myself and my reincarnation. Even now, she's here hoping to find some weakness in Atsuko. All because she wants to get to you." Dawn looks over to Rumia. Her expression was far from the proud one that had been displayed before. She was upset, but not angry. Just... So many conflicting feelings that she was going through right now. " It's not even a matter of me not wanting to trust her. It's that I can't trust her. Because she's the type of person that will never change." She glances over to Akisei, her face souring a little more to show anger. " She only knows how to cause pain and destroy things." And now, Dawn was done. She turns her attention to Hel -- but does make sure to keep a keen ear out for any explanations as to what Akisei was planning earlier." You've gotten pretty strong, haven't you?" , Dawn states with a smile to Hel. " Have things been difficult?" , she then queries. Rumia Akisei

Moments of bliss were something that immortals particularly cherished. They had to have things to keep them going through the long years. To keep the irreversible tide of time from washing their mind, their wills away. Akisei was no different in that regard. The ambitions she held for countless millennia were more than just plans: they were what kept her sane. And there were other things that kept her hanging on as well. Many of them were just moments that stood out to her. This was another one of those. Akisei knew she would hold onto this little moment forever. And then it crashed and burned. Akisei hadn’t felt this much anguish and pain in a long time. Not since the fall. Actually falling to hell brought upon an unspeakable agony upon her. She had come up with few tortures for the truly damned that were worse than what she had suffered through. She wasn’t in physical pain right now. But now the mental anguish was reaching a fever pitch. "Tell me, finish. If you care about me as much as you claim you will FINISH what you almost muttered out Akisei" Even though Atsuko wouldn’t be able to feel the ki, she would be able to see it. A golden aura, tinged with red enveloped Akisei like a cloak. It writhed around unstably, the energy shimmering and waving. Her lips trembled as her red eyes stared at Rumia’s distressed form. Dawn’s return had already set her on edge. Seeing Rumia on the verge of breaking and furious with her was the last straw. “How did my soul reconstruction work this well? She should never have woken up. She should have been a new person, with her own memories and experiences. I put her soul back together. I don’t screw up, Rumia. I could have easily erased her without a trace. But I couldn’t. That was one sin I couldn’t commit. Killing a mortal is one thing. Erasing them from existence is a cardinal sin for a Kaioshin. I have duties to this universe. I love you, Rumia. And I loath Dawn with every fiber of my being. But I love our universe more. This is why I decided to put both my love and my hate aside, to an extent.” Akisei whirled, glaring at Dawn murderously. Her red eyes glowed, and the air around all of them became heavy.
“You don’t understand anything about me, mortal. But I don’t need your understanding or your forgiveness. Nor do I need yours or anyone else’s pity. And even if you were the purest soul to exist, I would not accept your thanks for sparing your soul's existence when I wanted nothing more for you to disappear. I still want you to disappear. But there are things more important to me than my personal desires. I know you won’t believe me. But I don’t need your faith either.” Akisei turned and looked at Rumia again, her energy stabilizing a little around herself. The pressure around her dropped a well. But the strange ki energy still swirled around her. Her red eyes looked at Rumia longingly. “I will always love you, Rumia. But if I had to make the same choices again, then I would take the same actions all over again. There’s something that’s more important to me than even you, Rumia. No matter my own personal desires, or your faith in Atsuko and the other mortals, I will achieve that dream.”
Akisei turned to look at Dawn again, grinning coldly. “Of course that doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy watching them fail when the time comes. But I’m not without a shred of mercy. If Atsuko ever begs for my help or seeks me out to train, then I’ll listen. But everyone here knows that day will ever come. Atsuko would never beg, especially with Dawn in her head. And that’s just one of the many things that will make that day all the more worth it when it arrives.”Akisei clasped her hands together, looking over at Rumia. “She’s progressing even further then I thought she would. And with Dawn assisting her, my presence is no longer acquired. Honestly, I was hoping I’d be able to influence here a little bit. There’s no point of that though, now that Dawn has awakened. Kai-Kai.” If no one was to stop her, she would vanish, and the overwhelming pressure in the air would dissipate.
Akisei attempts to use Kai-Kai to warp out of the thread.

Dawn wanted to know as well, in her own way. The kai wasnt an idiot, she knew Akisei woudnt tell her everything about her life anymore, but for something as personal as this... To have lied to her this whole time? it hurt. Rumia had known Akisei since birth, they had a connection unlike any other. So for someone so close to her to tell her such a strong falsehood... she just didnt understand how she could do it. Rumia coudnt do the same, she just... didnt get it. Even now her heart was open to the fallen kai.
Rumia remained silent as Dawn had another exchange with Akisei. The hurt in her heart was to great for her to speak. All she could do was stand there, her drooped form listening to everything that was said. She noticibly twitched uncomfortably when Dawn brought up Akisei's manipulations in force. She wanted to say she was wrong, that Akisei would never do such a thing...
But she already had.
Even her plea to them was denied completly. Not that she could blame them. They both said it best. They hated each other with every fiber of their being. For them their would be no getting along, their would be no peace... their could be no happiness.
The goddess popped onto the ground, holding herself close as she wallowed in the facts before her.
"I know..."
Was all she could say in response to both their denials. Of course they'd never be able to try, what was she thinking? Even before they gave their clear, completely understandable reasons she knew, but she still hoped. Hoped things could change.
It was foolish to have tried.
All the pain kept building in her heart. This was the type of situation that affected Rumia most. Anger, hate.. betrayal.... they were things she had never been good at handling. They always got to her heart the easiest.
And then Akisei revealed the truth to her.
It stirred the kai with surprise. She had messed with her resurrection? No the very process her soul went through. She intended for Dawn to never awaken again. in a way her malicious was still there, evening she didnt openly admit it. Yet... she coudnt bring herself to actually erase her. She coudnt bring herself to go that far. Something more important than her huh? Good, she was glad Akisei could put something over her, she had never deserved the fallen kai anyway. In late way it eased her heart to know their were things more important to her. Despite her confidence that the mortals would fail it wasnt what Rumia focused on. As she began to warp away Rumia finally called out.
"Thank you!"
She warped herself by Akisei's side. The implication was clear. She was thanking her, whether she wanted it or not for not being able to erase Dawn. Dawn likely woudnt approve, but she coudnt simply let that go. It still hurt that she lied, it hurt more than anything. But she coudnt denied the relief she felt that she put innthe effort to bring her back, even if in a different, selfish way.
So Rumia kissed Akisei on the cheek, it was simple-all that she would allow done as she sulked back.
"I understand.... I woudnt expect you two to be able to get along for anything... bye"
Whether Akisei actually continued her exit or not Rumia would return to Dawn's side, giving her a brief hug and kissing her as well.
"Tell Atsuko the training will continue later Dawn... I... can't do this right now"
It was to much pain for her, to much misery. All piled on top of her once again making mistakes like she always did. She just coudnt take it. She kai kai's away, and not Dawn nor Akisei would be able to tell where she had gone. Hel knew though, and it wasnt far off.
"To be honest... a lot of it is from Rumia transfering her godly energy to me, but I have been training to master its use in her place! its... difficult. It has been hard, all this time Rumia's blamed herself for failing you sis. I'm glad that's behind her but... now theirs this"
She turned to face the fallen kai, anger shining in her features.
"All you've ever known how to do is HURT. That's all you you ever do when I see you! Even now you hurt the person you claim to love. Something more important than someone you love huh? Your just... horrible! Then you dont love her with all your heart, theirs no way you could. I dont have to be a god to understand that. I may be a pathetic excuse for an immortal, but it's better than being a pathetic excuse for a person!"
The malice Rumia would usually hold back was plain for all to see, and not being stopped by the goddess that would usually have done so.
"Not even you can feel her can you? Just go, you dont belong here, You never did. No one wants you here! All you've done is try to manipulate my sister and, when that failed I guess settling for hurting my master was the next best thing huh?"
She shook her head, making a shooting motion for her to continue her kai kai. Whether she's did or not the sword girl would continue her words.
"Shes sealed herself in her room, it's a place that hides her already low ki signature these days. It's the top floor of the mansion. She needs someone to help her but..."
She sighed, looking towards the ground. All this time, even though her sister was her priority she had tried to give the kai comfort. But she had no idea how to handle this. She had no idea how to bring her back.
"Let's face it... I dont think... even you two could bring her back right now, what are we supposed to do?"
For the first time in years... she had no idea how to complete her goal...
Rumia meanwhile lay on her bed. Her room was a simple one to anyone that came in, a far sight from the rest of the mansion-as if everyone elses enjoyment was above her own to her, which it was. The design showed her desire to see smiles on the faces of everyone around her, the only real big touch was the pink that covered the whole thing, along with her make up stand and drawers of extra clothing and jewelry.
Th miserable kai lay back on her pillow, lost in her thoughts. Lost in everything....
Why did she fail.... everytime?

Dawn turns as Akisei begins to speak of what it was that she did to the mortal she had wronged so heavily... Yeah, talking about how much of a sin it would be to erase her, but replacing her with something else, that was okay? " You're a hypocrite, talking about grave sins that you can't commit, when you knowingly took my life. You knew what it would cause not just to myself, but to Rumia too." She shakes her head. " The only reason you bothered trying to 'help me' is because you're afraid of a God of Destruction getting wind of it, and punishing you for it." , she then waves that off. " Spare me and everyone else your self-righteous wallowing. If I'm so wrong about you, then prove it. I know a lot more about you than you would ever like to admit, you petulant child." She musters up a final bit to truly drive the point home. " And the reason why it worked too well is because I refused to give up. I was going to come back even without your meddling. But you made it so much easier for me." Still... Seeing Rumia thank Akisei for it so genuinely, it was something that caused a great many conflicting emotions within Dawn. Especially witnessing that kiss -- even if it was planted on the cheek rather than the lips. It was enough to get under her skin. But she showed restraint, and let it go... her patience ended up being rewarded when Rumia soon approached and offered her the same gesture. It did soothe her heart.
The Kaioshin apologizes and excuses herself, all before Dawn can really even say anything to try and comfort her -- but there was still the matter of that Makaioshin to deal with first. Hel chimed in, and she started saying things that the Ancient Saiyan couldn't help but agree with. " Until there comes a point where you say that you can love Rumia with all your heart... Don't even bother showing up around her again." She narrows her eyes at Akisei, unfazed by the heavy atmosphere that the dark god was projecting. " You don't deserve her. You never did. You're also right that the day that Atsuko begs for your help will never come. Because you'll be begging Rumia to ask her to stop." No longer caring about Akisei's presence, she would turn to listen intently to Hel. Dawn gives a small nod, sad that all of this had affected Rumia so heavily. " I know who should talk to her... I'll send her on the way now." Rather abruptly, the form in front of Hel began to shift. The familiar shape and feeling of Atsuko would come back into the room, the Knight quickly regathers her senses, and suppresses her power once more. The Saiyan straightens out. " Thank you for telling me where she is, Hel." The Albino Saiyan then turns and begins to make her way upstairs; even if the Makaioshin had stayed, she would simply walk right past her, not even acknowledging her presence. She was still in those divine robes that Rumia had given her earlier. But the weight that the training apparel gave her didn't compare to just how heavy the very feeling in the air was. A reflection of Dawn's own sorrow, frustration, and anger. She hurt seeing Rumia like this, and she hated that Akisei was once again the cause of it.
Atsuko merely kept focus, and soon found herself standing outside the room that Rumia had retreated to. The Saiyan slowly approaches the door, and gently knocks on it. " Rumia? May I enter? I'd like to speak with you." She pauses for a moment, but then elaborates. " It's not about the training. I'm just worried about you." She would wait for the Kai to give an answer before acting either way. Rumia Akisei Notes: Atsuko is back in control, suppresses her PL back down to 5.

Akisei stopped warping out the moment she felt Rumia’s lips brush against her cheek. Before she could say anything though, Rumia was gone. And she was left in the room with people who utterly despised her. And they did not hold back at showing their disdain at her. Even with Rumia there their hatred was barely contained. Now it was fully unleashed against her.
Her eyes turned into slits as she looked between the two of them. There was no way she could make them understand. They were both born mortals, so there were things that they wouldn’t be able to understand or comprehend. Not that she wanted their forgiveness or understanding in the first place. But there was one thing she couldn’t overlook.
“You two know nothing about how I feel. I love her with all my soul. A soldier can love both their lover and the side they fight for. No matter how much they love their family, they still chose to put all of that at risk for the sake of a greater cause. So don’t you dare tell me that I don’t love her. Dawn, you can believe that I restored you only for the sake of self-preservation. But the truth is the God of Destruction knew about my little rebellion before it even happened. Did you think that I could start a war up there without them knowing about it? There’s so much you don’t understand.”
Akisei didn’t warp out after she said this. She barely gave Atsuko any mind when she returned, much like the Saiyan did to her. Instead, she fully kept her focus on Hel now. She waited until Atsuko was out of the room. Akisei turned her back on Hel, looking up towards where Atsuko retreated to. She was not paying Hel any mind either. It seemed like her thoughts were focused on Rumia right now. Hel was now alone with the person who had caused her and her loved ones so much pain, and it didn’t look like anyone would be coming downstairs again anytime soon.

"No problem sis, I'll handle things here, so focus on your love ok?"
She watched with a smile as Atsuko went off to console Rumia. She wasnt sure how switching to her new self would help Rumia, but she trusted in her. She was sure her sister knew what she was doing. She was sure her master would be back to her cheery self in no time!
In the meantime... she would have to deal with this malicious fallen kai herself.
"I'll never understand why she cares about you so much. Nothing but pain and suffering follows you wherever you go. You claim that me and sis dont understand? Perhaps you are right, I would put the one I loved above anything else, my family above anything else. This goal of yours, your telling me it's worth the suffering of the one you love? Theirs something more important to you than her happiness, important enough that you can see her miserable and simply going? No heres a better question...."
Her own glare bore into the kai, a fierceness common to the young blade.
"Why was your first move to bicker with us, instead of going to your loves side? Atsuko's first move upon regaining control, her first thought was Rumia. Yours? to spit more venom between the three of us. You love her so much, but our petty arguments were the more important thing to engage in here?"
Hel was no better, she didnt think she was. Bit this fallen goddess saw herself as so far above them when she was no better. She sat here wallowing in a petty argument while the one she claimed to pove suffered. She could not see the light that Rumia saw in this being. Everytime they met she saw nothing bit darkness. Nothing but the ruin she left in her wake. Rumia only every spoke positive about this horrible woman, practically spoke of her on the same level she spoke of Dawn and she'd never understand why. What could this woman possible give to her Master to make her think so?
The woman placed back forth. It had been so tempting to strike Akisei down for all she had done. To take her holy blade and plant in square through her. It may only send her back to Hell, but it would make her feel some small measure of the pain she so often handed out to everyone else, that was enough for her.
Speaking of the pain she wrought. Through all the recent talk something had occurred. Akisei had already lied about the fate of one of Rumia's greatest protectors, had she done the same for the other? Had that Oni been made to suffer the same fate?
"Akisei.. tell me something, You lied about what you did to my sister, kept such important information from Rumia. Tell me, did you do the same to Soragami as well?"
A tension hung in the air as the words left her mouth. It was a fair question to be sure. If she did it to one why woudnt the despicable woman do it to the other? And if that was the case...
Then they had another woman to find.
---------
It wasnt long before she heard a knocking at her door. Ah... of course they had probaly come to check on her. But she just coudnt right now, she didnt know what to say. She didnt want to once again mess things up. What kind of goddess failed this much? At first she didnt even pay attention to her brothers antics, didnt care if he observed her right now. What did it matter? She coudnt care less right now if he got entertainment from her suffering. Good for him if he still got a giddie laugh from peopes suffering.
She just didnt care right now, and she didnt until she heard the familiar voice of the knight cross her ears. Even if she didnt care about herself being observed, whe woudnt let him have his way with looking upon Atsuko, no she shoudnt allow her privacy to be broken.
"Watch someone who actually wants to look at your ugly sealed mug rock for brains!
Light bolts of pink energy entered her hands, then scattered around the room like mist, strong enough to impact familiars, but quite enough to only make the slightest of noises. Once it was done the kai sighed. There, her knight could be safe now at least. Speaking of which, she shoudnt ignore her. As much as she wanted to wallow in her emotions, she coudnt deny the woman access to her.
"Come in..."
Her voice was directed, miserable. It was clear that sadness had taken hold of her and wasnt letting go. When the kai entered she would find the kai now sulking at the end of her bed. Her clothes were a bit scattered on her body, for once not because she was being lewd, but because she hadnt bothered to adjust them when she plopped down in her room. as a result her heels were thrown across the room, one her dresses' shoulder areas were down, causing the chest area to slack down a bit.
"Atsuko.... you shoudnt see me like this, umm... I told Dawn we can continue tommorow I..."
Tears began to trail down her face, the sadness seeping into her voice.
"I...I'll be fine.."

There was a bit of a delay, and Atsuko silently wondered if Rumia was even going to open up to someone that was reaching out to her right now; but just when she thinks that she might have to get comfortable and wait just outside the Kai's room, Rumia finally speaks up. Hearing that dejected tone of voice already caused an ache in Atsuko's chest. But the Saiyan perseveres and opens the door as she steps inside. She promptly closes the door behind her, and then turns to face Rumia.
The little pink Kai was sulking at the edge of her bed, clothes in a disheveled mess, with Rumia simply not having the care or energy to fix it. The normally cheery and excitable goddess now looked so vulnerable, so fragile... She simply says that Atsuko shouldn't see her like this, and that prompts the Albino Saiyan to calmly shake her head. She then approaches the Kai and begins to gently fix the dress so that it fits on her properly." I promised to be your Guardian, remember? That means I'm not all about training or fighting. I'm supposed to be here for you. Especially when you need a shoulder to lean on." Atsuko smiles softly. Almost in a motherly fashion. She remembered when Micaela used to come in to check up on her after a rough day just like this. The Knight would softly place a hand atop Rumia's head and gently rub it. " It's really hard, isn't it?" She would then pull her hand away and take a seat next to Rumia on the bed. " I know that I'm not solely responsible for what happened back there, but... I am sorry that it happened." , she then states. " I can't blame Dawn for how she feels... I know she doesn't like how much pain it causes you either. But what's important now is that you need a little bit of help." Atsuko moves an arm around Rumia, pulling her close into a gentle hug. " So, listen... I did have something that I wanted to give to you. I wasn't really sure of the right time to do it." The Saiyan thinks it over for a moment. " I ended up asking Tomina for advice. Had this big plan, wanted to make it a real spectacle for you." , she chuckles very briefly." Well. I'm thinking that those plans can still be incorporated. So I'll just have to give you part of it now." , she adds with a somewhat shy smile.
After taking a moment to psyche herself up, she produces a small black box, one that could fit comfortably in the palm of one's hand, and she holds it out to Rumia. " Here you go." Once Rumia opened the box, inside she would find a matching pair of silver rings stylized after laurel wreaths.Atsuko's shy smile still remains, but nonetheless she manages to say the most important part of all of this with a steady voice. " Rumia..." , a brief pause. " Will you marry me?" This was quite the gamble she had taken. On the one hand, dropping it on her when she was depressed and vulnerable was perhaps not the best choice... But on the other hand, if anything could bring her out of this funk... It was a complete affirmation that Atsuko reciprocated every last feeling of love that Rumia held.
Atsuko waits patiently and silently for Rumia's answer. Rumia Akisei

Akisei laughed bitterly. “Going to her with Atsuko and Dawn there? That would only make it even worse. My presence right now would only hurt things more, not help her. I’m doing the right thing for her, not going to her. Soldiers march off to war knowing that they can die and leave their loved ones behind. People make sacrifice after sacrifice to accomplish their goals. Time, effort, even personal pleasures. No matter how much I love Rumia, there is something that’s more important than even she is.”
Akisei grinned coldly at Hel at the next question. For an instant, something in her aura shifted. It was colder, and it didn’t feel divine at all. Hel would clearly be able to sense her energy. But it passed quickly. But that chilling smile still stayed plastered on her face.
“If you want to find her before I do, I’d start at it now Hel. She was an Oni, so it’s possible she reincarnated in Makai. Even if she isn’t there, have fun scouring the mortal realms for her soul. Kai kai!”
And with that, Akisei vanished, leaving Hel alone in the room. Nothing about this day had gone according to plan for Akisei. So she tried to salvage as much as she could by making Hel miserable. In truth, she had no idea where Sora was. The Oni likely choose reincarnation by her own merit. But she’d rather let Hel think that she had messed with her. That was the only victory she could get from a day full of defeats.
Akisei Kai-Kai’s out of the thread. Leaving it now.

The caring knight attended to her, even when she tried to get her to leave her be. With a delicate touch she adjusted the clothes the kai wore. Having the knight care for her like this... it made her feel warm. Her words were like honey through her ears, soothing her worries bit by bit. The care Atsuko showed her lessened her shuddering, and then she fully began to let her tears out while holding her tight. She knew her knight was correct in all she was saying. It was what she'd say to Atsuko if their situation was reversed. Still she was just so.. tired of letting everyone down. She failed Akisei, She failed her fellow kais... she even failed Soragami and Dawn. She just... didnt want to fail anyone anymore, she didnt want to hurt anyone anymore. It seemed like whenever she went all in that was the the end result. The thing she loves wind up hurt, broken. How could she keep doing it? Atsuko asked her a simple question and she nodded, pulling back but not yet letting go of her hands as Atsuko sat beside her.
"Yes... It's my duty to ensure balance in this world. But one of the greatest counter balances is someone close to my heart, meanwhile the people I care about most just... I keep failing... they keep hurting I just...... I dont know"
An arm was put around the goddess' waist, causing a bit of surprise in her before she gave a light smile and rubbing into Atsuko hold, getting comfortable against her. When Atsuko mentioned having something for her she blinked in surprise, shaking her head.
"Tomina...? A gift? Atsuko you didn't have to do that..."
Then the knight held out a small black box to her, and Rumia gasped in shock. W..was this? N..no way it coudnt be! She wasnt even prepared, she was a mess!
"A...Atsuko is that?"
She held the box tight in her hand, just staring at it for a while. Could she really be doing this? Was Atsuko really going to...
Rumia slowly opened in the box, inside she saw two beutiful rings. Her tears dried up immiedlty, a gap of happiness escaped her mouth-abd a deep blush covered her face.
"Rumia"
Happiness spread throughout the Kai's body. Her posture shifted as Atsuko said each word, more stable... beyond happy. This simple act had managed to breath life back into the kai with so much ease. It swept all Her sadness and worry aside, it left her mind complelty. She could feel nothing but joy as Atsuko said those words.
"Will you marry me?"
Her answer was immieditate. Their was no other way she could possible reply. She look to the rings, then to her knight and with a blushing, bright smile she said:
"Yes! yes a thousand times yes! Atsuko... of course I'll marry you! this goddess is yours!"
She put the ring down beside them, then kept into Atsuko's arms fully, wrapping her smaller arms around the knight she pressed her lips to Atsuki's with joy, gracing her now with her own full kiss. One she woudnt break until they both had to catch their breath. Her love back that kiss, and it filled them both. Atsuko had proposed to her... she was going to be her wife! And Atsuko would be hers.... they would be one. She would be one with the woman she loved with all her heart, who it seemed... returned that feeling as well. For Rumia... the kiss was like an eternity of bliss. It melted all her worries away. All she felt now was love, receiving it from Atsuko, and giving it back to her in turn. When they did break their kiss the blush didn't leave the kai as she moved back just a little and held out her hand to the saiyan.
"Yes I'm yours~ so claim this goddess as your own~ I will claim my knight as well~"
The words were full of the love Rumia felt, the love Atsuko had recuperated in full. Her hand was now primed to receive the ring and, if Atsuko allowed her Rumia would in turn put the other ring onto her finger, her features now glowing as she did so. This moment was everything to her. this moment was bliss.
She was getting married... married to Atsuko.
Her beautiful knight had saved her from her sorrow, from her tower of pain in one swift motion. The feelings were so apprant that even as the angry Hel made her way up to Rumia's room to warn her of Akisei's machinations she paused upon hearing their words, paused and smiled, she walked back now. A moment like this, this wonderful perfect moment... the worries of the mortal realm could wait for one day, a moment like this told her everything would be ok, no matter how much Akisei wished to get under her skin. Sora would be ok... the Dark Goddess would fall before love.
"You go sis"
Rumia's smile was content, loving and happy as she looked her knight down. Their was only one more thing she could say to comment it all.
"Atsuko.... I love you, I always will... my beutiful knight... I love you with all my heart"
[Rumia has accepted Atsuko's proposal! Hel is now on standby]

Atsuko smiles softly as she listens to all of Rumia's troubles; they were much larger than any of the things that had bothered the Saiyan as a child, but... Sometimes all you needed was the chance to just vent it out, to confide in someone else that you trust, so they could comfort you. That was exactly what the Knight was offering to the Kaioshin. " Balance in an entire world -- let alone an entire universe -- is definitely one of the hardest things I can think of." She gives an understanding nod after having said that. " I wouldn't even know where to start with it, myself... All I can tell you is that personal balance helps too. You have to start with yourself before you can try to fix other things, and help other people... And sometimes it's just as simple as taking a little break." , she explains. Probably all things that seemed obvious to Rumia. Or... Maybe they should have been obvious, but it was hard to see the forest through the trees.
The pink Kai was also surprised to see that the Saiyan actually got a gift for her, but... Well, there was also going to be a lot more to this one as well. The Knight couldn't help but reflexively hold her breath as she waited for Rumia to accept it and then open it. But the reaction that followed prompted her to resume breathing, a relieved smile on her face. Seeing all of that pain and sadness wash away from the Kai meant that this was indeed the right choice.
What followed was the moment of proposal itself; something that Rumia graciously accepted. The comparatively smaller woman leaping into the arms of the Knight, and pulling her into an embrace. The two then shared a kiss... The first proper one they had with each other. Atsuko already knew what the feelings were like thanks to the connection with Dawn, but now that raw passion had been multiplied significantly.
It felt like it was enough to overwhelm her senses, and in a lot of ways it did. But wasn't an unpleasant sensation in the slightest. Sharing in this kind of bond with each other made it feel as though that moment would last for eternity. Finally, however, their kiss is broken. Rumia's blush was just as apparent as Atsuko's.
In all of their rush and excitement, they had ended up lying down on the bed. But now the Kaioshin was sitting up and offering a hand to the Saiyan. The Knight sits up as well, and would collect one of the rings with one hand. With the other, she gently takes hold of Rumia's offered hand, and begins to slide the ring onto her finger." Well... My part of the claim is done. Your turn." , she replied, now offering her own hand just as Rumia had done earlier.
Her shyness and reservation had melted away. Because this wasn't just about lust or flirtation. It was about a genuine love. One that she was fully prepared to reciprocate. She was given an opportunity to do that through words as well, when the pink Kai said that she loved her. " And I will always love you with all my heart, Rumia." Meanwhile... Excalibur had decided to project herself into human form in order to have a little chat with Hel. Especially in regards to Akisei. By the time she got there, it already became pretty clear that she was no longer as troubled by what the Makaioshin had to say, but nonetheless... Excalibur had a lot of things she wanted to talk about too. So, first thing's first. The elephant in the room." Atsuko has a real knack for helping Rumia, doesn't she?" , she comments with a smile. " She'll be ready to help you too, Hel. Whenever and whatever you need." But of course, they had another thing to talk about as well... Just how petty their enemy was, and why she said what she did. " So... I'm sure it's obvious, but Akisei was bluffing hard. On a lot of things. I'm not entirely sure if she was trying to fool us, herself, or both." Excalibur admits. " But, either way... Considering how things turned out with Dawn, I doubt everything has gone 'according to a particular plan' for Soragami either. We'll find her. I promise." Rumia Tomina

| That energy, away from Atsuko… ah, it was her fellow blade. Her opposite in terms of energy… yes, there was she, a weaver blade of darkness… Dyrnwyn, The destructive blade of flame…
And Excalibur, the blade of light.
As Dyrnwyn, to her knowledge was still inactive it could only have been Excalibur, a thought confirmed when she turned to face her! Dyrnwyn had been inactive for a while now, and Excalibur had gone inactive several times since the Primordial Demons were sealed. Hel however had remained active due to her service to Rumia. Not that the goddess was her verified leader, nor could she bring out her full power as a result, but she still helped and served her until such a day as she did find her wield, she owned the kai that. Now that Atsuko and Dawn were back in the picture though… maybe it was tie she began looking for her wielder. They seemed so at peace… but the swords would be needed again in the future… she could feel it.
”Lady Excalibur! I don’t think I’ve had a chance to say, welcome back”
Her respect for Excalibur was clear, she was the eldest of the three holy swords after all, she had seniority over all of them. She was, in essence their leader. Because of that her greeting was followed by a bow, along with the nod of agreement in answer to her statement.
”Always has! That is big sis for you! No matter the form she’s always been able to connect with Lady Rumia like no one else could”
The idea of her needing help made the blade of darkness become embarrassed, because she would absolutely want help from her big sis, but she could not just ADMIT that she had to look cool, dignified like her sis. Able to stare down a mountain and scoff like it was no big deal!
Well, it was not for her, but that was beside the point!
”Hey, hey I’m a holy sword, I do the helping around here! I’ll swoop in with my new powers when she needs it most, and she’ll be like, ‘wow Excalibur you’ve grown so much, I’m so proud of my brave little sister!’ yes, its going to be awesome!”
Of course, they had more serious matters to attend to as well. Hel sighed and nodded her confirmation of what Hel said. She did know Akisei was trying to mess with her. Despite that, given how little they knew of how reincarnation worked it was possible Sora had been reincarnated in Makai, they simply could not rule out the possibility. There was also the possibility she had reincarnated in the mortal realm as well. In ether case they needed to find her, they were going to need her in this campaign against Akisei. Needless to say it would make her master even happier as well.
”I know but… we still have to find her to, you know?”
Though she could not help but chuckle at a thought she had as well.
”Can you imagine if she was reincarnated as some brat? It would be hilarious!”
Excalibur’s reassurance did make Hel feel better though, it was nice having her around again.
”Thank you, Excalibur. Though…. I’m sure that’s not all you came to me for right?” ……………………………………………………….. The ring sliding on to her hand was like a blissful eternity. The feelings in her heart were difficult to describe, love… happiness…. Bliss… it all hit her at once. What she felt she had not felt in so long, this feeling of being loved, of giving her love in turn. Of being with the one she loved in the purest way. Sure, it was earthling tradition, but it was what that tradition represented that meant everything to her. She and Atsuko were now one, they would share the rest of there lives together. It meant Atsuko loved her, and her alone with all her heart. If her heart was any warmer, she felt that she might catch fire! With her free hand she touched the ring on her finger now and giggled.
”Atsuko…. It is beautiful, where did you two get something like this? I.. hehe…. I love it… so much!
When Atusko stated it was now her turn to do the claiming she smiled and nodded.
”So it is… hehe… your mine now you know~ no running from your spunky kai or her fashion advice~”
With that Rumia picked up the other ring and, with love rushing through her heart began slipping the ring on Atsuko’s finger just as she had done for her. As she did so she looked up into her knight’s eyes, where if she hadn’t already seen it Atsuko would now be able to see the pure joy, the love in her eyes at what had just happened. Atsuko had succeeded, the only thing on Rumia’s mind now was the love between.
”Forever, my love, my knight… forever more, it’s me and you now”
