Reku’s pod crashed onto the Earth and the Saiyan King exited it. He hated being on this planet, but he wanted to see Tadeo. He was hoping he had gotten a lot stronger since the last time they sparred. He checked in with the guards back on Planet Vegeta using the transmitter within the ship. Knowing that he was now royalty, he couldn’t get too comfortable. Looking around at the grassy wasteland surrounding him, he tried to spot if he was near any cities. He was not afraid of the local authorities anymore ever since he had achieved his new level of power.
Before Reku had a chance to take flight and explore, a portal opened up in front of him. He jumped back, taken by surprise and immediately assumed his martial stance. A familiar looking machine appeared, and judging by the energy he was sensing, someone was definitely inside. Riku saw his father through the window of his time machine. He didn’t know what had happened since he had last appeared, but he has definitely gotten a lot stronger. He pressed a few buttons within his ship and the door opened slowly. His head poked out from the opening, looking at Reku in the eyes. It was then that he saw the surprised look on his face. He waved with a smile before jumping out, his boots crushing the soft grass as he landed.
Shadic PL: 106,200; Indetectable (ki), Zenkai; Government Group Earth; (Conveniently) Near Reku's Crash Site [undisclosed time; assuming midday] [undisclosed day] Teleport Seal: N/A
The hybrid was out and about, taking a break from city crime fighting to see what the rural areas had to offer. Maybe he could catch a cow tipper in the act or something, or maybe even some banditos. That would be exciting. Unfortunately, he did not find either of those, but he did notice a shooting star in the clear blue sky. Shadic was about to blast off in search of more crimes when he realized shooting stars don't show up during the middle of the day.
That fact was further driven home when the shooting star almost hit him, zooming over his head by about 10 feet. The object flew towards the horizon a bit before finally crashing down in a field. If he wasn't mistaken, which he wasn't, the object closely resembled a Saiyan pod. Either somebody was returning home or somebody else was here for their first time. Whichever it was, Shadic had to be ready for anything. He took some time to stretch out a little bit, not wanting to pull a muscle in case there was a confrontation before chasing after the downed ship.
In less than a minute, Shadic was hovering above the landing zone. His hunch was confirmed, since the spaceship was indeed a Saiyan pod. The presumed owner of the pod, Reku, was standing outside talking to... miniature Reku? Amazed to see a shorter Reku, who seemed to be the owner of a strange looking machine, Shadic plopped down in between the two, completely ignoring his friend.
"Are you Reku Jr!?" He asked excitedly, wondering how the guy already managed to procreate such an old child.
Government Group Earth; On scheduled patrol to the local rural area;
[undisclosed time; assuming midday]
[undisclosed day]
Sonnelion was on a solo Razor Force Patrol as a small object had been detected approaching the planet, Whether it was a simple meteor or a space pod was in question hence why the patrol mission was made. Sonnelion could sense a powerlevel approaching as he spotted what appeared to be an asteroid approaching the field. His red scarf billowed in the wind with his hair as he flew towards where it may crash. focusing his senses he could sense that it was Reku. He raised an eyebrow under his mask, he wondered what the man was up to in space. He heard the crash and flew towards the dust cloud made from it.
He landed on a hill near the crash site. He looked and saw Shadic, Reku and....Future Riku?! His eyes widened in surprise. His eyes returned to the normal position as he floated over. "Riku? It's been 2 years," he stated in greeting. floating over to them. He turned his head to look at Shadic "Hey Shadic." he turned his head to Reku. "what have you been up to Reku? it has been awhile." he asked honestly curious.
"War never changes. Only the instruments of war and the people who play in it."
"What is my true name? What Destiny awaits one such as I out here, outside of Lordroth?" Quin
"You can tear me down all you want, I will Never give you the satisfaction of my Death! I am ASPARA! FEEL MY FLAMES AND BURN!" Aspara
"I need time to think." Sonnelion
"Orkses neva lose if we run we'll jus' come back fer more! If we die it don' count!" Barrigan

The familiar green door opened up on the floor of a cliff. Out of it, came a green haired boy, still only 18 years old. Climbing through it and sitting on the cliff, the young Saiyan looked out over the horizon and the trees and wildlife. Inhaling and exhaling that fresh outdoor air, he sighed in relief. "Yup. Still complete bullshit. How do people think this is beautiful? Is the sun flashing me with its tits? I don't think so. Actually, if it is, then it's blinding me, that hurts, fuck, fuck, FUCK!!!" Quickly, Tadeo shielded his eyes, and waited for them to recover from looking too long in the distance. They did, soon, and Tadeo blinked a little bit to see if he was all right. "Yup, not blind. All good."
The green-haired Saiyan stood up, and slowly walked off the cliff, floating at the same elevation as it. He suddenly felt a power level, from below, and another one just appear. He looked down, past the forests into the grasslands. There were a few people there, and he recognized a few of those faces. In fact, he recognized all, except one. He felt compelled to go over there, and so he did.
Arriving at the site of a crashed pod, a super future looking pod, and two other Saiyans' arrivals, Tadeo slowly descended onto the Earth. He walked up slowly to them from behind, not bothering to hide his dwarfing power level compared to the others. Noticing the familiar faces more clearly now, and not bothering to address one of those, Tadeo stood there, hands in pocket and watching. "Oh, cool. We're finally having a good ol' family reunion." Tadeo walked up a little more to look at the other power level, and was surprised when he saw it. He glanced at the boy, then to Reku, then to the boy again, and then to Reku again. He repeated about two times over and came to a conclusion. "Holy shit, it's a mini Reku. Or Reku Jr.? Uker?" Tadeo paused for a little bit. "Junior is the new Reku." His sarcasm knew no bounds.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Reku gave his son from the future a blank stare, blinking a few times before responding. “It’s been a while. I’ve been well…ish?” He replied. Though a lot had happened during the 2 years of Future Riku’s absence, Reku was still trying to sort the bad things from the good. Everything seemed to be in a gray area, no black and white. Shadic then appeared, rudely butting into the conversation. Jesus christ it’s like we have to be near each there all of the freaking time. Wasn’t this guy on Namek? He wondered, wondering how all these coincidental meetings between Shadic and Reku kept happening. It was almost like some outside force kept putting them together at the same location.
That’s when Sonnelion showed up, which caused the Saiyan King to suddenly feel a huge shadow of dread overcome him. Lately, Reku did not like the Tuffle-Saiyan hybrid that much. For an intelligent fellow he did a lot of questionable things. The King didn’t even want to ask about the whereabouts of Terium were. For all he knew he could be absorbing the mall right about now trying to take advantage of the “Super Absorption Bargain Sale”. At this point, Reku didn’t care much about the villain, having much more important things to worry about than some irrelevant demon insect. “What have I been up to? None of your god damn business." He replied.
It looks like fate gave Reku a break because the man he came to Earth for, Tadeo, had arrived next. He started spewing the same nonsense that Shadic was. Trying to ignore the sarcastic banter, Reku sensed the green haired saiyan’s ki, trying to see if he had gotten stronger or if he continued to be lazy. It had gone up, there was no doubt about that. However, he was hoping that Tadeo would’ve got more powerful since their spar. Well, it’s better than nothing. He thought.
Riku was caught off guard by Shadic, who was surprisingly upbeat. He smiled and couldn’t help but laugh. He was not used to the Shocking Super Saiyan being like this. In fact, he had never seen a smile on his face before. The Shadic in his timeline was a lot different and not in a good way. Part of him wanted to say “fuck it” and swap the two. He looked at the white haired man and didn’t recognize him at all. He shrugged and turned his attention to the last person who showed up. ”I wish!" He replied, showing his teeth as he smiled. When Tadeo arrived, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. ”Holy moly! Tadeo is that you?" He asked, knowing only one person who had green hair like this. He was probably one of the only consistent parts of the timeline in terms of personality. Riku eagerly reached out his hand to shake his, overjoyed.
Shadic realized how rude he had been to drop down between Reku and Junior. He stepped out of the way, "My bad, sorry about that," A couple other people had arrived, including his friend Tadeo and Sonnelion. He wasn't sure why they were in the area, likely to investigate the crash site. Reku's return to Earth was vastly overshadowed by his son, who already seemed a lot more pleasant than the old man.
Junior's face lit up when he saw Tadeo since he apparently knew who the green Saiyan was. While Riku and Tadeo had their moment, Shadic looked over at Sonnelion, "What's up?" Having returned the greeting, Shadic focused in on his friend and Junior. Many questions were buzzing around the hybrid's head, all of them related to Riku.
He decided to ask one question, one everybody was dying to know the answer to, "Why are you so happy and nice when Reku is, like, a certified asshole?"
Sonnelion actually let off a light chuckle as he heard Tadeo's sarcasm about Riku, the voice in his head, however, 'Well well, if isn't pineapple head' Sonnelion ignored the voice for now. He assumed that Riku only ignored him because he was distracted by the others. Riku's cheerful attitude was much different than Reku so that made him smile under his mask. Now while it's been two years since he last saw the present Riku, the machine gave away the fact that this is a Future Riku. Seeing how the kid didn't recognize him, safe to assume this was either a Future Riku that went into a different alternate past, or it was the mask. It's probably the mask. "Ah, you probably didn't recognize me because of the mask Riku." Sonnelion commented as he took off the mask. One new feature on Sonnelion's face that wasn't there when Riku last saw him would be the scar, the Hair being longer than before due to growth was also a given thing.
'So, I looked at your memories of this guy, Gray sounds like fun, can we fight him man?' the voice in his head asked, Sonnelion mentally told him no and that they aren't strong enough yet. 'Maybe not for him, but what about his minions huh? Come on, Let's kill shit! Show them all what power we wield!' Sonnelion was really glad that he was the only one that could hear that voice. Shadic replied back to him. "Got this nice scarf here," he commented pointing at the red scarf around his neck, he had a slight smile when he said this 'really, that's all you have to say...the scarf? What, not gonna tell them about me?' Sonnelion mentally told the voice no.
"War never changes. Only the instruments of war and the people who play in it."
"What is my true name? What Destiny awaits one such as I out here, outside of Lordroth?" Quin
"You can tear me down all you want, I will Never give you the satisfaction of my Death! I am ASPARA! FEEL MY FLAMES AND BURN!" Aspara
"I need time to think." Sonnelion
"Orkses neva lose if we run we'll jus' come back fer more! If we die it don' count!" Barrigan

Tadeo was honestly very confused by this kid. He'd come out of nowhere and was shaking his hand, which Tadeo did not refuse at all. While he did look like Reku, he didn't know if anything he said was ACTUALLY the kid's name. Tadeo couldn't help but try to play it off. "Oh, yeah, nice to see you again, you. It is me, I'm glad you noticed after all this time." Tadeo paused for just a little bit while shaking the kid's hand. "Yeah, I don't know you, I'm sorry. Have we met? 'Cuz I really didn't know your dad was a dad."
Tadeo briefly looked towards Reku, raising an eyebrow in confusion. He felt as if he should know the kid. Memory wasn't a problem with Tadeo, as he could remember people like Gamuto from over a year ago, and Edgy who he met just months prior. However, this kid, or the fact that Reku had a kid, went way over his head. Maybe memory of this character was locked in his brain somewhere? Or perhaps this kid is from a world he's never known?
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Reku immediately went on the defensive against Shadic’s comment. “Oh come on, I’m not THAT bad. We’ve fought against and with a lot worse. Cut me some slack here." He replied. As Tadeo began rambling on, he found humor in his words. He seemed to be the one to always lighten up the mood, arguably even more than Shadic ever could. He turned his attention back to his son. ”So, what are you doing here? I doubt that you’d come back all the way from the future just to say hi." He asked.
Riku shrugged at Shadic’s question. The truth was that he hardly remembered anything about his father. He hadn’t seem him alive since he was a little boy. Even when he met his father in the timeline, they didn’t exactly talk for very long. The white haired masked man started talking to him again, but he still didn’t know who he was. Gee, wish I could get a name. He thought. He turned towards Tadeo, forgetting that the green haired saiyan didn’t meet Riku yet. ”Oh, sorry. As you may have just heard, I’m from the future."
Suddenly, Riku’s attitude became very serious when Reku asked him what he was doing here. He had almost forgot, he had a job to do. “Alright, so in my timeline, things are getting worse. Me and the other resistance members can’t handle it on our own. I need your help." He said.
Sonnelion pointed out his red scarf, trying to make it a point of conversation even. Shadic already thought Sonnelion's normal armor was strange enough, but the scarf was like a little cherry on top. He gave him one of those 'I'm trying to be nice even though I don't really want to be' smiles and nodded, letting his hybrid ally know that he approved. Kinda.
Riku finally explained how he was so old and why he was there, he's a time traveler in need of assistance! That caught Shadic's attention, "Did a time traveling mini-Reku just ask us for help? How can we turn him down? Not only do we get to help somebody in need - which is the most important thing, might I add - we also get to go to the future! I'm already in, fire up your little doohickey and let's go!" Shadic walked over to the time machine to get a better look at it. He'd seen tech like it before, no doubt, but he couldn't quite put his finger on where. It had a unique style to it that he felt like he should have identified right away. Then again, technology was not necessarily his forte, so chances were he was just imagining things.
