That who is Fated in Crimson: The Future has Arrived [Open]

Things had been more than a little strange to both Vulpeca and Aya during their Queens absence. Not only was she the ruler of Makai, but she was also Aya's mother, and Vulpeca's creator. Neither of them knew a life without Nakiya in it... Sure they had studied, grown strong and learned what they needed to rule in her place but it left an uneasiness in the now married couple.

Still, the two did their best, keeping the Demon Nobles in check and maintaining balance in the realm. Which was harder than they initially thought it would be... Nakiya's idea of balance was very direct. For every evil act, there must be a good one... Therefore sometimes the royals would be the villains, and yet sometimes the Heroes. Truly a difficult thing for any outsider to understand.

As they sat now upon their thrones, the sudden emergence of a large power level did catch their attentions. There was no attempts to hide it, which could mean a handful of things... most prominently, they were either being attacked, or whoever was coming wanted to talk to them and not make it a surprise... but who was this exactly? Neither Vulpeca or Aya recognised it...

"I sense it as well. Stay here with Aya while I join the investigation."
He said calmly, standing to his feet and placing his hand on the dark sword at his side. The very sword that their Demon Queen had been sealed away into. He kept it hidden within the folds of his robe at all times, never allowing it to leave his site. This was no exception.

Vulpeca walked out of the throne room, then hurried out of the palace and joined Laezi, standing next to her as he waited for a response from this being.

Laezi crossed her arms, staring down this invader with a gleam in her eyes. She was looking for a good fight (one could easily tell), as she was a rather tempered gal these days. Ever since Heizen had vanished from the Living Realm, she was exhibiting her worst impulses and feeding into a carnal desire for sweets and death. Some of Heizen’s forces rubbed her the wrong way in these past two years, and found themselves swiftly transported into the vastness of her stomach. She would love to add this stranger to the pile. Still, something made Laezi uneasy. Although this gal’s current power output was nothing too threatening, Laezi could sense that it was still vastly untapped.

How strong was this visitor, this newcomer?

Kuroko meanwhile, inside of the Queen’s Chambers with Aya, began to transform in case an attack was imminent. Her gorgeous black, wavy hair began to turn and shift to a glowing crimson. Her skin began to darken and mutate into a pinkish-red, as a dark red glow began to surround her entire body with a shimmering radiance. This was the result of her Demon mutation overriding her Saiyan genetics, transforming her into something much more Demon than Saiyan. She likened this form to a Saiyan’s Super Saiyan Two form, although it was nothing too big in today’s world.

“Prepare yourself, my Queen. If this turns into an altercation, we’ll all need to step up and cast out this intruder!” she said with a battlecry.

Laezi meanwhile was with Vulpeca and listening to this intruder explain themselves and their purpose. Laezi was silent, messaging two more of Heizen’s trusted disciples (Seid and Delphi) with the stealthy technique of the Demon school, preparing for the eventuality of combat. With the two of them by her side, they would overwhelm this intruder.

{“Come to Nakiya’s mansion… We have an invader, who we require your assistance with.”}

Laezi meanwhile processed the information given to her by this mysterious woman. Time Breakers? What did that even mean? Sounded like such an odd organization. “Did you think knowing our names was enough to impress us and let you inside?” she hissed. “The Saiyan King or Kinoko could easily have given you that knowledge to trick us. State your intentions here, and WE’LL decide if we want to let you in.”

Although she was putting on a brave front, Laezi was a bit nervous. Seid and Delphi better get here soon.

Seid/Delphi will take 2 rounds to get here so.. Don't worry about them yet xD 

Caster could feel all of them preparing for the worst. Even if she hadn't give the blue-skinned majin a glance she could tell that she was itching to pounce. Still she was being cautious, which she liked. It was a form of respect in of itself. When she mentioned Nasu, Caster tilted her head, snorting behind her mask.

“The only tactic that insufferable upstart knows is launching large scale invasions. Even if he was smart enough to be subtle, it would be against his Saiyan pride to do so. Even Kinoko is part Saiyan. Sending someone to infiltrate the enemy isn't their style. When Nasu makes a move against you, the sky will shatter and his army will pour down from it.”

Caster crossed their arms, looking over at Vulca with her one eye. Despite the fact that he was insulting and threatening her there didn't seem to be that much of a change in her demeanor. Nothing about her ki shifted either. It stayed exactly as it was, even with the possible storm that was about to be unreleased.

“Your power is impressive, Demon King. But your title only matters as long as you can hold onto what you own. I came from a long line of royalty myself. I once ruled over entire worlds. Then one day a foe even I couldn't win against. And once I lost, all the titles I went by, everything that was once all mine, were all gone.”

Caster unfolded their arms, and started undoing the bandages wrapped around her left arm. When they fell to the ground, the skin revealed underneath was horribly scarred. It was so burned that it looked like she had the scales of a dragon. They covered her hand, and went all the way up her arm. Given the pattern it looked as though she had attempted to block some type of energy attack, but was only partially successful.

“Even if you somehow survived Nasu's assault, what will you have left? Your kingdom will be reduced to the ashes of history. Your subjects slaughtered like all the other races the Saiyans attacked. Your title of Demon King will mean nothing, just as my former titles mean nothing.”

Caster started wrapping up their bandages again. It was bizarre how casually they were treating the situation. She essentially had guns directly pointed at her ready to fire, yet she was acting like she wasn't in any danger.

“Who I once was doesn't matter to me anymore. Becoming a Time Breaker means losing your past. You're right not to trust me: you'd be a fool to take a stranger's words at face value. But there is one thing you have to trust in. And that's for the Saiyan king to slaughter you all in the near future. If you don't take a risk and accept my help, then your fate is certain. You stand no chance against Nasu and the other God ki wielders with Nakiya sealed away. I've come to free her and offer you my services.”

Caster pointed at the sword on Vulpica's waist. That was something that Nasu and Kinoko had never seen for themselves. This figure was able to identify the blade as the prison Nakiya was sealed in. Whoever they were, they knew a lot about the demon realm.

"Tsh"
The sound escaped the Demon Fox's throat before he even had much time to think about it. This irritable woman was right… and yet again to trust her outright would be foolish. Of course King Nasu would never send a single assailant after them… It would not only be cowardly of him but provide him no challenge if he wasn’t able to fight Queen Nakiya or King Heizen himself. It was an irritable situation to say the least… The Demons were pinned to Makai by a threat of interference simply because he couldn’t be powerful enough to challenge the wretched Saiyan King.

He really was just a figure head, and he didn’t need this little girl to remind him of that. There was a low guttural growl escaping his throat at this point, the fluffy tail hanging over his shoulder twitching and bristling in irritation.

As she continued to speak, Vulpeca would only grow more and more irate with her, simply because she was right, and shoving it in his face. They had abided by the treaty for these two years only because they were under threat of the God of Destructions wrath… and again they would have to play dead because of Nasu. He hated it, he hated him, and he hated this little girl too.

He instinctively reached for the scabbard of Nakiya’s blade, moving it behind his back as the woman pointed it out and knew exactly what it was. She didn’t guess, she didn’t pry it out of him, she just knew… Just WHO WAS THIS GIRL!?

“You know way too much for being anyone other than who you say you are… a time breaker? I’m assuming then you’re from our future if you were so easily able to deduce where our Queen was locked up. If so, in this future of yours, do I agree?”
He asked hesitantly, his eyes glancing back towards Laezi as she spoke into his mind.

<<And if either of them return and find out we had an opportunity not only to break her out, but to bring Demon’s out of submission, she’ll be far more furious. Heizen has had two years to break out of hell and come back to us. A feat that took Queen Nakiya only months to accomplish… I don’t want to doubt him, but maybe this will be the move to kick his lazy ass hard enough to make him come back>>
Vulpeca retorted a little more shortly than he had intended too, though it was hard to control the tone of his thoughts when he was getting this worked up. Seeing Nakiya again… while horrifying in itself, would lift such a huge burden from his shoulders.
