Chapter 30: Catching Up
(Hot Damn has it been a long while wince I've updated this one. Work tends to get in the way. I often find myself trying to savour my time on free days.)
(Anyway, before this Chapter starts, there's something I need to address. Changes are going to be made in regards to this story to make it easier for me to write more content for you. Mainly Eye Catches. I won't be doing them anymore. At least not every chapter. They'll be more of an occasional thing if I feel like making them. Plus there's only so many characters that people will recognize.
(I've also noticed over time that I'm placing too many characters from different franchises in this series, so I'll slow down on that for both the sake of it being easier for you to read, and easier for me to write. That's about it. Thanks for baring with this hiatus of mine.)
Wait...we're on...? Like...moving again...?! Holy crap okay, I thought it was over...okay okay, story time.
As a quick recap, You're on "Vacation" at I-Island of Midoriya's home world, and had just captured The Celestial Warrior who dubbed himself as "Xoya" with your brother. After containing him in a safe place with the help of Lotus, you now find yourself taking a stroll outside with the company of two mysterious humans who call themselves "Rick" and "Morty."
They needed your help with something, but your to do list was already as full as it is. Regardless, you heard them out for that they had to say. After all, your power comes with a great responsibility.
Y/N: Okay so let me get this straight...you need my help to bring down this entity who invaded your world...so you came and tracked me down in hopes that I could help.
Rick: Listen, I'm in no mood for beating around the bush. Are you going to help us or not...?
Morty: I-I-It's totally cool if you're too busy...
Y/N: Do you have any description of this entity...? Looks? Size? Sounds? Anything...?
Rick: It all happened in the—*Burp* Blink of an eye. I'm surprised I'm still alive. Morty had to carry me all the way here...I was knocked out...Morty might've seen him.
Morty: It definitely wasn't a person...not a Human anyway...
Rick: No shit, Idiot! You think Humans can clear out entire cities with a single blast?!
Morty: I-I-I—
Y/N: Okay, both of you, calm down. Continue.
Morty: It wasn't shaped like a person...and it was Red...that's all I can really make out of it...
Y/N: That's all I need. I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled for it. But as for right now, I have things to do. You're welcome to stay for the sake of your safety. There's plenty to do.
Rick: Fine, whatever...our world isn't safe anymore anyway. C'mon, Morty.
Morty: Right.
With that the duo walked off to do their own thing. Now that they were out of the way, you could focus on the bigger picture. Figuring out who Xoya was and why he was after you in the first place.
???: Yo, Y/N!
Y/N: Hm...?
You looked to see the protagonist squad, all together as they approached you with smiles on their faces. You were happy to see some bright faces for a change.
Issei: We were at the lounge area enjoying some food when we saw you fly off awhile ago. What's the matter?
Y/N: Celestial business. Long story short, there was this guy that wanted to kill me. Don't know why. We have him apprehended now though.
Midoriya: That's good! Do you want to grab a bite?
Y/N: Aw man...after fighting that Xoya guy...I'm dying for a good meal...let's go!
Akko: Great! I'm also pretty hungry myself if I'm being honest...
You all then headed for the food court. Akko speed walking ahead of the rest of you the whole way there, despite the fact that you were most definitely hungrier than she was.
Time Skip
After getting some grub in your belly, you were now once again in a good mood. No matter how grumpy you were, a good meal always lifts up your spirits.
Y/N: *Munch*...Ahh!! Midoriya, you didn't tell me that your world has such great chefs!!
Midoriya: It's nothing really...I think you just really like food, heh.
Ruby: Well there's actually a reason we called you here, Y/N.
Y/N (With a Mouthful): Hm...?
Ruby: You look like you've been on edge lately. To an extreme degree. We're kinda worried about you.
Issei: It doesn't look like it right now, but we can tell that something's been bothering you.
Akko: You know that if there's a problem, you can always talk to us.
Y/N: *Gulp*...I know...
Midoriya: So what's the problem...? It's not like you to hide things from us!
Letting out a defeated sigh, you decided that if anybody deserved to know, it would be them. So with one stressed breath, you spoke.
Y/N: Well...it's...a lot of stuff...when I rescued Skylar, I made a lot of new friends, but I ultimately had to leave them behind if I wanted to make it out alive with Skylar in the first place. This whole thing with Xoya has been confusing, and I'm worried it may cause more problems in the future. And to top it all off...we have another Tournament coming up.
Issei: Another one...?!
Ruby: I don't understand...don't you like Tournaments...?
Y/N: Typically, Yeah. But this is different. It's being held by the Omni Kings AND Korizen. There's a chance that all of our worlds could end up being erased...
Midoriya: I don't get it...aren't you stronger than the Zeno's...?
Y/N: Zeno isn't the problem. It's Korizen. If losing means erasure, you all know first hand that not even I could stand up to him. Nobody could...even with me, none of you have what it wakes to stand up to Zeno, let alone Korizen. This could be disastrous if we screw things up...
???: Oh? So Korizen already informed you about our next Tournament?
Y/N: Huh?!
You turned around to see none other than The Grand Priest. You were in the first reality after all. This was his home turf.
Grand Priest: It's been too long. Y/N, Izuku, Ruby, Issei, Atsuko. You all seem to be doing well.
Y/N: First of all...it's good to see you too, Grand Priest...and second, yeah. Korizen already told me, so you can skip the build up.
Grand Priest: Splendid. The Omni Kings are in need of entertainment. I ask of you to come with me so you may participate in our Zeno Exposition Match.
Y/N: Fine...I could use a friendly round anyway.
Grand Priest: Superb. Please make your way there now. Your friends may come along as spectators if they wish. I trust you know the way to Zeno's Palace?
Y/N: Of course. Everybody, grab on. We're going for a ride!
With that, everybody took a hold of your back and shoulders. Placing your fingers on your forehead, you were gone in a flash. The Grand Priest also warping away as he thought to himself.
Grand Priest: I wish you luck, Y/N, for we have selected a very special opponent for you.
Time Skip: Zeno's Palace
In a second flat, you had arrived at the home of the Omni King in an instant thanks to instant transmission. The place hadn't changed one bit.
Midoriya: Woah...so this is the palace of the Great Omni King...?
Issei: Is it me or does this place feel kinda familiar...?
Y/N: You're right to think that, Issei. This is the same place where we held our very first Tournament all those years ago. The same one where I discovered the Primal Power of Super Saiyan 4.
Ruby: Hey! You're right!! I remember now!
Akko: I'm lost here...is this one of those things that happened before we met...?
Y/N: Yup. Hell, back then, we didn't even know each other all too well.
Akko: Wow...
You then heard the sound of a foot stomping against the ground. You looked behind you as an unfamiliar voice spoke out to you.
???: So you're my opponent, huh? Well you look strong, but I won't know for sure until we engage in the ring...
In front of you was a somewhat masculine woman, a Saiyan, just like you. Her energy felt similar, but not identical to that of a Celestial. Her hair was as black as night, like any full blooded Saiyan, and she was roughly the same height as you.
???
Y/N: So I'm guessing you're the one that I've been summoned to fight...?
???: If you were summoned to fight in this "Zeno Exposition Match", then we must've been matched up.
Midoriya: Another Saiyan...?!
Y/N: That's not really rare anymore.
Issei: She's pretty hot. I'd smash.
Y/N: Tell me one thing...you're radiating an energy that feels similar but not identical to that of a Celestial Saiyan...is that what you are...? Some kind of Celestial?
???: "Celestial"...? I was about to ask if you were some kind of special Cosmic Saiyan...
Y/N: "Cosmic"...?
All of a sudden all of you began to glow before being warped into the Palace. Much to the other's confusion.
Time Skip
Upon appearing inside, everybody looked upon their surroundings as Midoriya, Ruby, and Issei quickly recognized where they were.
Issei: Hey! There's a familiar sight!
Ruby: Guess it didn't change at all...
If you hadn't guessed yet, you were now standing in The Zeno Exposition Arena. There were several floating spectator platforms, but not as many as last time.
Grand Priest: Before we begin our Exposition prior to our newly announced "Tournament of Creation", I would like to thank our challengers who have arrived to put up a show for our humble Omni Kings!
Midoriya: That lady looks like no joke...do you think Y/N can truly win this fight?
Issei: Hard to tell...we can't sense godly energies like they can...
Ruby: We're gonna have to wait and see. I personally don't think that Y/N is in any trouble though.
Akko: Hopefully this will be a match to remember!
