Chapter 17: The Omniscient Master
Kaminari: *Yawn*...I'm so tired...
Asia: Me too...Can we go to bed now, please...?
As of this very second, Kaminari and Asia were on the verge of falling asleep. You and Jaime were still on high alert as the two of you spoke to each other telepathically.
Y/N: So you've noticed too...
Jaime: Yeah...Kaia's being a bit too friendly...something isn't right...
Y/N: Glad I'm not the only one...
Jaime: Kaia is really bent about the whole situation with Skylar, but she's acting so nonchalant. I would say we should investigate, but that may lead to things getting even worse...
Y/N: Then what do you suggest we do...?
Jaime: I'm not sure. I brought us here thinking that she would give us answers, but she only brought up more questions...do you have any kind of backup plan...?
Y/N: ...There is somebody that could help...
Jaime: Who would that be...?
Y/N: He resides in my home Universe, the 7th. He's known as Master Zuno. I've never met him myself, but according to Bulma, he's all knowing. He was able to give her information about the Super Dragon Balls no sweat...he may be our last hope of trying to figure this out...
Jaime: Alright. When Kaia settles down, we'll head out to see him.
Y/N: About that...
You then peered over to Kaminari and Asia who were now both fast asleep. Jaime was quick to notice this as the two of you gave each other an unsure look.
Y/N: Those two are out for the night, and there's no way I'm leaving them here alone with Kaia.
Jaime: Then you go. I'll stay back and protect them incase anything happens. Besides, you probably have a good idea as to where it is.
The two of you nodded at each other with serious looks on your faces right before Kaia came prancing in.
Kaia: Are you all doing well?
Y/N: Yup, we're good. I hope you don't mind if we crash here for the night.
Kaia: Oh it's no problem at all! Get comfortable!
Y/N: ...Okay, but first, I'm gonna head outside for some fresh air...
You then gave Jaime one last look as she knew you weren't coming back for a good while. Her weapons were loaded and her fists were ready to punch at any moment.
With that you walked out from the front door and once you were far enough to avoid being noticed, you warped away in the blink of an eye.
Time Skip
After a few minutes of searching the universe, you stumbled across a humble little planet that looked more like a toy than a cosmic structure. You briefly remembered Bulma describing the planet's appearance, and this seemed to match it all.
Y/N: This must be the place...
With that you flew on down to take a look. Upon entering the atmosphere you didn't notice anything too out of the ordinary. The trees were a few different colours than what you're used to, but that was about it.
The first thing that you found was a palace, and for a planet of this size, it sure was easy to find. The place seemed, very empty. Not a single person in sight.
Because of this, you took it upon yourself to simply walk right in. You were expecting somebody to be waiting for you at the entrance or something.
However upon entering the building, the first thing you saw was a long and massive hall way, and at the end of this hallway, there was a man being attacked by a woman, and a Majin at that.
The man you could only assume was Master Zuno himself, and he looked a lot sillier than you imagined him to be.
???: It's over, Zuno. I've Eaten your attendants and now you will answer my questions if you don't want to meet the same fate...
Zuno: H-Hold your fire...!!
???: Still not budging? Fine, I've got room for dessert anyway.
Zuno: W-Wait!!
Just as this Majin was about to turn Zuno into a chocolate bar, you intervened and stopped her by delivering a swift kick to her face.
The Majin slid against the floor and crashed into the wall behind her as you stood in front of Zuno to protect him.
???: Tch! What the hell was that...?!
Zuno: Y/N The Celestial...!
Y/N: I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's clear that you're up to no good! Leave now or I'll make you!
???: Damn, I took too long...It looks like I'll have to retreat for now...
With that The Majin warped away in an instant. Saving Zuno without even a moment to spare. You let out a quick sigh of relief.
Time Skip
About 10 minutes had passed since you had scared off the Majin intruder that had invaded Zuno's Palace. You had brought back all of his attendants and they went on their merry way.

Zuno: I must give you my thanks for stepping in and stopping that Majin Female...
Y/N: Don't sweat it. I actually came here to ask you a question. I heard that you're all knowing, and if that's true, you may be able to help me...
Zuno: While I usually require someone to pay tribute in order to ask a question, you saved my life, therefore I shall answer you a question free of charge.
Y/N: Good. Now, here's what I want to know...years ago, a girl named Skylar disappeared and we've been trying to find her ever since. What happened to her and where is she now?
Zuno remained silent for a short moment. It was a bit awkward, but eventually he spoke and gave you an answer.
Zuno: Very well, I shall tell you the whereabouts of Skylar of the 12th Universe. Shortly after your battle with the evil Celestial, Ark, Skylar returned home with her companion and friend, Jaime. The two stayed together for the span of a Month's time.
Y/N: Mhm...
Zuno: However, shortly after the departure of Jaime, Skylar was found and kidnapped by a band of Celestial bandits known as the Blood Brigade. These bandits took her in and ran countless experiments on the poor girl for the span of 7 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days. Once they had finished with said experiments, they extracted a drop of her blood in order to harvest a sample of Celestial Ki in order to carry out what they call "Plan Z".
Y/N: What?!
Zuno: After everything was said and done, Skylar was thrown in one of the three Celestial structures known as The Hydra Chambers. The Hydra Chambers are ancient structures constructed by a group of Powerful Celestials approximately Three-Hundred-Forty Billion years ago, and are approximately five times the size of your average solar system each. Skylar has since then been wandering one of the three chambers, looking for a way out ever since.
Obviously this was a lot to take in, but now you had an answer. You didn't like this answer, but you knew what to do next at last.
Y/N: So Skylar's been in one of these "Hydra Chambers" for the past seven years...?!
Zuno: That's Correct.
Y/N: Hold on, where exactly are these Chambers...?!
Zuno: I'm afraid you just used your question. I cannot say anymore than that.
Y/N: Shit...I can't be angry. Thanks for the info...
???: Y/N!!
You then looked behind you to see Asia, Kaminari, and Jaime all entering the building. Considering that Kaminari and Asia were fast asleep in back at Kaia's house, this surprised you.
Y/N: Jaime! Asia! Kaminari! What are you guys doing here!
Jaime: Something fishy was going on at Kaia's Place, so I woke up these two and got the hell out of there. None of this is adding up...Can you at least give us some good news...?
Y/N: Well, I can give you some good news, but you'll probably have a bad reaction. I just discovered what happened to Skylar and where she is...
Asia: Really?!
Jaime practically latched onto you as her hands clawed into your shoulders, it was clear that she urgently awaited some answers from you.
Jaime: Well hurry up and tell us!!
Y/N: I'll explain on the way, but we need to go back to the Celestial Realm...
Jaime: Fine! Let's go already! The sooner we can get her back, the better!
Y/N: Alright, stand back...
Jaime and the others all gained a safe distance as you powered up and put your hands together, you concentrated your energy for a short moment before ripping the fabric of reality and opening a portal back to the Celestial Realm.
Y/N: C'mon. I'll tell you everything...
Jaime: ...Okay...
With that the four of you all walked into the portal and ventured back into The Celestial Realm. Leaving a confused Zuno along with his attendants.
Meanwhile: Kaia's House
Kaia was currently standing by herself in her home. She was sweating nervously as her entire body trembled with fear.
???: You were supposed to ensure that they stayed here...
Kaia: P-Please! I did what I could! Just leave me and my sister alone!!
???; You had one task and you failed it...It's time for you to pay the price.
Kaia: PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!!
???: Hold it...
The strange figure leering behind Kaia then peered to the left to see a bright green portal open, somebody walking out and entering the room.
Rick: You're going to—*Burp*...tell me everything...
