Chapter 233 - 224: Sealas, The Forgotten Menace! (1/2)
'Sealas? Now where have I heard that name before...', Nao began to ponder.
Seeing confusion appear in his eyes did not go unnoticed by the Supreme Kai of Time. Being completely n.a.k.e.d in front of him still embarrassed her quite a bit, but she was still able to speak calmly while feeling his warmth spread throughout her body.
Nao couldn't help but bring her body closer to his by wrapping his arm around her other shoulder. She didn't deny this and saw his eyes with a willingness to listen, so she continued the story.
”It's common you don't know who Sealas is, Nao. I had everyone's memories of him wiped away. Every single being in our Universe. He is a forgotten menace. I can't believe such a long time has passed already...”, The Supreme Kai of Time said with sadness in her eyes.
”Master...”
Hearing Nao call out to her, her eyes matched his. She then placed her fingers over his lips ,preventing from him speaking any more.
”Nuh-uh, don't call me that any longer, Nao. Our master-disciple relationship is over. If you truly wish to be with me, you will only call me by my first name, and nothing else.”
The Supreme Kai of Time said that with a serious tone. Nao nodded in silence. A smile then crept on her face as she continued to speak.
”Good! You'll have your kiss later. Heck if you don't push me away I'll even offer my all to you after listening to my story. Sealas had his chance at my love as well, but he was too driven with madness before he could claim my purity. But seeing you don't even know his name, I will have to start from the very beginning...”, she said, and began her story.
Nao became surprised to learn the fact that the Supreme Kai of Time used to love someone else. And it was Sealas no less! But he didn't want to disturb her current pace and remained silent. Seeing this, she smiled at him and continued to talk.
”Everything began since Time Immemorial, back to when the Divine Calendar was still in its infancy. One bastard being came into existence, even way earlier than I was born or the Super Dragon Balls were created. This being came to earn the name Majin Buu...”, she said as she closed her eyes.
”Majin Buu was an atrocity. It was a being made out of pure evil and wrecked havoc all across our Universe. To prevent this madness, the first Supreme Kais, including the Grand Supreme Kai, were born on the Sacred Planet of the Kais, and this happened about one hundred million years ago. I'm sure you know more about this than the average person.”
Hearing the Supreme Kai of Time say this, Nao nodded in silence. He knew the sad story of Majin Buu very well, it was a great story saga after all.
She continued to speak after seeing him nod.
”Well you see, these Supreme Kai were known as the creators of life. And with live comes destruction, its counterpart. Lord Beerus also came into existence around this time. And as for me, I was just a little girl born around 80 million years ago. The Old Kai and I quickly became acquainted with each other before Lord Beerus sealed him inside the Z-Sword in a fit of rage.” (A/N Beerus actually did this)
”The other Supreme Kai offset Majin Buu's rampage by creating more and more planets before they eventually sealed him off in a hidden dimension. As for me, around 75 million years ago, I rose to the rank of the Supreme Kai of Time after successfully raising a TokiToki Bird. I did have to battle my own evils during that time but I was come out victorious...”
”After that, our Universe was able to thrive and grow out of its infancy for over the next fifty million or so years. Countless races climbed and fell, and I formerly started my role as the protector of Time, ensuring the true history didn't get derailed while correcting any inconsistencies that would occur. To help me with that, I created the Time Patrol. As you know, Trunks is one of its more prominent members right now...”
After she said that, Nao nodded his head once again, confirming her words. She continued to speak.
”As I would protect Time, the Galactic Patrol was formed to ensure the safety of the Universe itself. The Supreme Kai would watch over them from afar, only acting as a last resort. A long earned peace ensued during this time. The Galactic Patrol itself was founded around ten million years ago...”
”And one of first members, including being the very first member of my Time Patrol, was a young grey skinned boy with cute white tentacle-like hair on his head. This boy quickly rose the ranks of the Galactic Patrol, donning the elite armor in no time. He grew up to be an excellent staff user, much like yourself, Nao, and had an extremely strong sense of justice. Nao, this boy was none other than, Sealas!”
”!!!”, Nao couldn't utter a word after hearing the beginning of Sealas's origin. Another wave of sadness appeared in the Supreme Kai of Time's eyes. She snuggled against his body to stop shivering.
She took in another deep breath before she continued the story.
”Sealas soon became the love of my life after he accepted his position as the very first Time Patroller. I had even taken him as my own disciple. He was the first, and you are my second. I wanted to give him my everything. Yet everything came crashing down. Hard and fast. All thanks to another dastardly being, an evil wizard who went by the name Bibidi...Bibidi came into existence shortly after the Galactic and Time Patrol were formed, around ten million years ago...”
”Thanks to Bibidi's magic, he was able to set free that abomination of evil free from that sealed dimension, the very same one, Majin Buu! Thanks to him, Majin Buu wreaked havoc across the Universe once more destroying all things in the process. Many time distortions appeared as a result and my domain got extremely busy with mission after mission...”
”While the Supreme Kais and the Galactic Patrol went to the front lines, mostly sacrificing their lives to help stop his rampage, I had Sealas and other Time Patrollers close as many distortions as they could. That's where things took a turn for the worse, and a decision I still regret to this day...”
”You see, Sealas ended up on a rather primitive planet with a race that was just starting out, much like what he used to be before he grew up. This planet was rather close to the front lines of Majin Buu's rampage. Sealas had a chance encounter with a young boy who he could see in himself back then, but he was utterly helpless, witnessing the destruction of that entire planet by Majin Buu's hands...”
”Sealas did not want this to happen. As a Time Patroller, he sought every possible remedy. He wanted to save that boy no matter the cost, even if it meant to alter the flow of time itself! He knew very well that was against our policies, but he knew that and still went against it! Nao, altering time is one of the biggest crimes we have!”
”I know with the Time Rings we can only go into the future but with your training I fully developed the element to go wherever I want to, I can even incorporate your Time techniques in battle too . I'm not some idiot who would go change the past wantonly either.”
Hearing Nao say that, the Supreme Kai of Time's heart softened quite a bit. She snuggled more against his body and continued to speak.
”I know you wouldn't do such a thing, Nao. But Sealas was different. He was so determined to rescue that boy that he even stepped into the Time Vault and read the Scroll of Eternity without my permission to view the boy's fate. He felt true despair after coming to learn of the truth. He resorted to altering time but no matter what he did the outcome always remained the same, destruction. He mentally collapsed after countless tries and became a mindless monster...”
”Sealas caused so many distortions during that time, we had to fix them all to ensure the true history was back on track. I won't go into all of the details, but I ended up burning his soul into timeless ashes, never to be reincarnated again. Inside the Time Vault I even confessed my love to him, but he was already at the point of no return. These sword scars were the wounds he caused me as I burned his soul. No matter what I do they won't go away, they'll always re-appear given enough time...” (A/N Well Sealas was beaten by the DB heroes game protag, but I twisted the story to this)
”Chronoa...was that man truly beyond redemption to receive an ending like that?”
”He was. people everywhere he went people called him the Forgotten Menace of Time. I saw no other way than to end him myself. Tell me, Nao--, No please promise me you will never end up like him!”
Yet before Nao could respond, the two of them saw three bushy orange-auburn tails wrap around their waists and a warm soft feeling touched their backs, hugging them into an embrace. It was none other than Sayuri, who currently had tears dripping from eyes. She had woken up during her story. Even Aht could be seen with tears falling down her cheeks and she too hugged them.
It took a moment for Nao to register Sayuri now awake, but she spoke out to them while sniffling.
”S-Sniff...That was such a sad story! I had no idea you went through such an ordeal. Even though I was part of the Galactic Patrol I hadn't ever heard of such a character joining it. I-Is it fine if I call you Chronoa too?”
Hearing Sayuri ask that, the Supreme Kai of Time nodded with a smile.
”I'd like that very much, Sayuri. If I'm to join you guys I will stop being the Supreme Kai of Time. I will just be another little girl who fell for you, Nao. The question is, will you still love me after listening to my story, even with a body like this?”
After the Supreme Kai of Time said that, she looked at him straight in the eyes. Nao responded by wrapping his arms around her back, bringing her into his embrace. He then spoke out with a serious tone.
”Chronoa, look at me. I swear I will forever love you and not become a monster like Sealas once did. Nor will I ever turn into what I became in that vision. Your wounds on your body mean nothing, I will love you for who you are. I hope you will treat me and the other girls the same, will you join our family?”
Hearing Nao not shove her away and even wanted to welcome her, tears started to form in her eyes. Pouring down her cheeks, she wrapped her arms around his back and leaned in. ”Yes!”, she yelled out, confirming him.
Nao smiled hearing her confirmation, and the two closed their eyes. The both of them leaned further forward to where their faces touched. Nao planted his lips against hers, and Chronoa responded back, sealing the deal. Both Sayuri and Aht felt their hearts warm up seeing this and applauded the two.
Their kiss lasted for a few moments, it wasn't a deep one, only enough to where the two could feel their heartbeats patter. After those couple of moments, their tongues separated from each other. (A/N : From here on she will be called Chronoa, no longer the Supreme Kai of Time, in case the switching between the two got you guys confused)
Nao then spoke out to her once more.
”Welcome to the family, Chronoa. We will no longer be master or disciple, and stand as equals. I will love you as a woman from here on. You should get dressed, we can have some more private time later. I'm sure you will want to announce this to the others?”
