Skylar doubled over from the beating she just recieved, she was on her hands and knees at this point. She refused to look up though, because she knew she'd see that taunting gold glow. Sky's left arm cradled her stomach and she gritted her teeth using her other hand to claw at the earth, her open palm turning into a fist. Skylar was so, SO done with losing. She closed her eyes in frustration and anger... but mostly from feeling betrayed. How could she have been such a fool to trust someone she barely knew with her deepest insecurities!? She opened her eyes still glaring, still refusing to look up, but this time she noticed the dirt was wet, not from her blood, but from her tears. There wasn't much she could do to stop it anyways, but she was suddenly slammed from the side causing her to ragdoll across the sand until she finally hit a tree. Her fury was burnt out like a candle on a windy night... She had lost her will to fight, what was the point? It's not as if she could win anyways. He was probably going to get rid of the excuse of a "saiyan" she knew she was. Skylar opened one blurry eye and she could make out the green and gold figure running towards her before she passed out.
It was dark when she woke up, an unnatural black backdrop consumed her senses- perhaps she was dead, for good this time. Suddenly it became a bright white and Skylar shielded her eyes for a second. She suddenly realized she wasn't injured anymore and stood up to look around. There was nobody but her around. Or so she thought. Sky just then was tapped on the shoulder from behind, she turned abruptly, scared for her life as per usual these days. What she saw made her whole expression change, her eyes began to water. It... it was her first friend. "Youki... I.... How? Whe-where have you been, I thought you were dead!?" Skylar would have started balling but she didn't want her old friend and mentor see her in such a state so she wiped her eyes as Youki gave off a beautiful, clear but soft laughter and hugged Skylar. The two embraced for a short while before Youki pulled away and smiled sadly whispering, "We'll have time to talk some other time, we don't have much longer here."
Youki took a couple steps back and Skylar tried to follow but found her feet unresponsive to her inner panic at losing her friend yet again. Her now crwcked voice still worked however as she shouted, "Wait! What's happening!? Is something wrong, I don't understand, why do you have to go!?" Youki shushed Skylar and said in a serious tone, "Heavan forbid that you ever get so broken both mentally and physically ever again Skylar, with my memory, I give to you the gift of Patience. You've waited this long for me, so wawit a little longer. As for power, I've seen you struggle for years as our leader and I think you've waited enough." Suddenly her figure vanished into a flash of bright light and shot straight at Skylar's head. Sky closed her eyes, but when she found herself to be free from harm she opened her eyes to the silhouette of WildHero, who turned around and waved with a smile. In the back of Skylar's mind she contemplated how likely all of this was just her mind's way of rationalizing her own end, but decided to go with it anyways. "Well looks like I gotta make this quick too, sorry... but uh I guess... oh, oh right! Um, so it kinda sucks seeing tou in such a slump you know? You used to stand in front of us all, even despite not being the strongest out there! You used to persist in the face of absolute loss and I guess what I'm trying to say is that my gift to you is something you already had but forgot about. So, always get back up and keep fighting. With my memory I give you the gift of Perseverance." And with that he disappeared the same way as Youki. Next up was the infamous Android 0, giant black feathered wimgs casting a shadow over the two. Skylar shivered and 0 cackled. "What, our 'brave leader' is afraid of the dark now? How pathetic." Skylar looked at the ground, face scrunched up. He was right of course. She looked back up, about to retort, but 0 continued, "Look, the way things are, you're never going anywhere so you might as well forget about rebuilding the shattered remains of our pack. HOWEVER, " he smiled a little, though it may have been a smirk, "That's why you have allies...friends, is it not? So there's no reason to be afraid, there'll always be someone to back you up, even if it doesn't seem like it. Bravery isn't having the strength to go on, but rather going on when you don't think you have the strength. So, with my memory I give you an apology for insulting you, AND more importantly the gift of Courage." 0 winked before he and his wings exploded in a burst like the rest. In his place was a girl with dark hair, she only remembered her from the back of her mind as she was only with the pack for a very short time before disappearing. "Oh, hi! It's me Jae! I know it's been a long time, but here's hoping you remember me. I won't be long, I'm a small memory anyways... BUT! I have something important to say. Remember how we met? We were enemies, at that tournament so long ago, and we fought bitterly. Though... we grew to be friends and you trusted me right? So there, that's the gift this memory holds, I give to you the gift of Trust! I know you think your trust is beyond repair because of what happened but it's not." As with the rest she was gone. Skylar mulled over Jae's "gift" but wasn't sure about how she should feel about it. She wonder how long this... um procession would last, so far the gifts had all come from pack members, but those were all of them. Before too long she saw who'd happen to be the second to last of the visitors - Calamity. He spoke before she could ask who he was, "Don't worry, there's but two people left to see you... and they want to see you together so I'll be as short as possible without losing any meaning. You don't know me... well you knew me in another life but not as who I am right now. I am but a reincarnation of an acquaintence of yours, but even then I was still drawn to your pack and to your sorrows. I witnessed your death and while I could do naught, I learned from the experience. As should you. You should move on from your deaths and learn something from them. I'm not saying to forget them, but accept them and grow. With that and my vague memory, I give you the gift of knowledge." And with that he broke up in a stunning spectical of light and suddenly Skylar could move again. She could hear light footsteps behind her so she turned around.
The two people in front of her, despite how they should be unfamiliar, she felt some kind of bond with them. They looked bittersweet. On her right was a tall man with wolf parts like Skylar in a light brownish-tan color, along with his short cut hair. He appeared to be 30 to 40 and his skin had a medium tan to it. His eyes were ice blue. The woman on her seemed to be a saiyan- tail and all- with black hair and eyes and she was two or three inches taller than Skylar. Her hair also had a noticable light purple shine to it. The two both wore armor that looked similar to what Saiyan soldiers would wear but they looked different somehow. And, theu both had purple capes and a paw print insignia on their breastplates in gold. They looked at each other a little teary eyed then back at Skylar. The woman spoke, "There's... there's no easy way to say this." The man finished "Skylar Chushin. We're your birth parents." Skylar's heart skipped a beat at this and she almost fell over. The woman tried to steady Sky by grabbing Skylar's arm and Sky grabbed her arm as well, gripping it like a lifeline, her eyes wide. Sky looked between the two people. After a couple of moments and deep breaths she finally spoke, "So, so that means I really AM half saiyan... I knew it but I never knew my other half... so then, what are you?" She pointed at her supposed father. "Me, I'm one hundred percent Hitokami. And if what I know is correct, one of us will be heading to earth shortly but we currently don't have the time to explain everything." Suddenly both the man and woman hugged Sky... and she hugged back, finally releasing all the tears she built up during the entirety of what just happened. "I'm Rosemary." The woman whispered softly. "And I'm Tyberius." They released Sky and Tyberius spoke "I know you've been wondering what this was all for correct? Well it's a tradition on our home planet that every Hitoian revisit all those that have made an impact on their life before coming of age. This way they can reflect of their successes and mistakes that made them who they are. For you however, this could not be done til now." Skylar asked "Why?! Why now!?" Asked Skylar angry that they waited so long to see her, "It's because, now's your time, daughter. You are a Super Saiyan, do you understand?" Explained Rosemary pointing to a mirror that appeared out of thin air. Skylar's hair was raised and gold, her eyes a bright Turquoise. She took a step back almost startled by the appearance after what just happened... this time Tyberius was the one to steady her, a hand on her shoulder, and with his touch her hair became white in the mirror, with a slight reflection of ice blue. Her eyes were a raging orchid color, shining like two redish amethysts. Her canine teeth were longer and she had real claws that could tear flesh, "BUT, in addition, you are also an Ascending Hitokami." This meant more than Skylar could ever put into words, she turned back to the two. She had only one question left. "So... does that mean..." the couple nodded. They were indeed deceased. Instead of crying, this time Skylar was a flurry of emotions. Suddenly behind her parents were the entirety of her old pack cheering for her. A white hot star began to glow on Skylar's forehead, it burnt but once again she could not move. Her parents looked at eachother for the final time and said in unison, "And finally, we give you the gift of Family, for not always by blood do we find those we are closest to." And they kissed her on the new mark, making Skylar feel like she was filled with a thousand imploding suns. A supeenova of light filled her eyes but then all returned to darkness.
Skylar was back in the real world and as soon as she came to her senses her fury and passion multiplied by ten fold. With a rumbling growl befit for any predator, her teeth once again grew into fangs her hair flashed gold in a wave but then alternated to icy white, her eyes once again glittering like flaming red violet gems. Skylar looked up at the glowing man as she could not earlier. She heard nothing of the man's concern, she just wanted his head. "I'm coming for you... friend."
It was dark when she woke up, an unnatural black backdrop consumed her senses- perhaps she was dead, for good this time. Suddenly it became a bright white and Skylar shielded her eyes for a second. She suddenly realized she wasn't injured anymore and stood up to look around. There was nobody but her around. Or so she thought.
