5 Chapter 5

As Reiji reached the truck, he saw a crowd surrounding it. They held eight-legged crosses and pitchforks. It seemed they discovered Reina inside the truck, and they knew she was a demon, which was strange because she looked exactly like a human. There was no way for a regular human to discover her true identity unless someone already knew of Reina. Hurriedly but calmly, Reiji walked to the center of the mob.

"What's going on? Why are you people gathered around my carriage." Reiji asked.

"You! This is your carriage. You dare bring her here...a demon. This is blasphemy to the highest of the highest order. As chief of this village, I hereby order her and your execution." The elderly man, from before, said.

"What? How can you decide that in an instant? You can't prove she's a demon. Plus, We did nothing wrong."

"I don't need proof to execute demons. Especially, if it's the demon that my daughter gave birth to."

Shocked, Reiji and the other villagers stood completely still, except for a few men and women fainting. Embarrassed, The woman from earlier looked down at the ground.

"What?" Reiji said, breaking the silence.

"You heard me. That girl you're hiding in your carriage is my granddaughter. A monstrosity that should have never been born." He said.

Reiji looked at the village chief with a murderous look. "Chief, I'm just going to say this once. Shut your mouth unless you're going to apologize."

"Who do you think you're talking too, young man. I have complete authority in this village and you're here as guests. If I say I want you dead, you should unsheathe your sword and jam it right in your chest to appease my orders. Understand?" The elder man said.

"Excuse me. Who are you to talk to our cousin like that?" Shiro said as she walks through the crowd easily.

"Yeah, you should get on your knees and beg forgiveness," Raven said coming from behind her.

Immediately, everybody in the village back away from the chief. They instinctively knew he was going to die. Not only did he admitted his daughter gave birth to a demon, which he hid from them for years, but he also offended one of the heroes who saved their village from three dragons. They knew they had two options; fight and die a meaningless death, or walk away.

"Enough, we're done here. Let head back home before my mother kills my biological parents." Reiji said as he walked to the truck's door.

"I'm surprised. He didn't act on his emotions, nor did he use his powers to force his beliefs on them. He truly understands what it means to have unlimited power." Raven thought to herself.

Reiji, wearing his regular clothes, walked out of the truck with Reina behind him. Scared for her life, She hides behind Reiji. Seeing how scared the little girl was, the village chief's daughter stepped out from her father's side.

"Don't worry, you can come out. We're not going to hurt you." She said.

Slowly, Reina walked out from behind Reiji and looked at the chief's daughter.

"There you go... out where everyone can see you and that pretty face." The chief's daughter said as she got on her knees. "So, what's your name, sweetie?"

"Reina," Reina answered nervously.

"Reina, that's a beautiful name. My name is Sarah."

"That's a pretty name too."

"Thank you. Do you know who I am?" Sarah asked.

"The mean lady who leading an angry mob to me. Did I do something wrong?" She asked, innocently.

Everyone in the village suddenly felt a little guilt for what they did.

"No, Reina. You didn't do anything wrong. The people here are just gathering to say goodbye to us." Reiji said.

"Oh, but what about the quest and the others?"

"The quest was completed and the others are going to meet us back home. Speaking of which, we should get going. We need to get back to-

At that moment, Reiji realized that he doesn't even know the name of the village he rebuilt. Reina looked at him with a concerned expression.

"What's wrong, Reiji?" Reina asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about the demon village's name." He said.

"Well, it doesn't have an official name. We always called it the hidden village." Reina said.

Once hearing that, Reiji started brainstorming names for it. Then, he felt a massive surge of magic fill the air. He immediately knew the barrier around the village just disintegrated.

"We have to get back to the village," Reiji said as he picked up Reina and took off into the sky.

Immediately, Raven and Shiro opened their wings and followed him. However, unlike Reiji, both Shiro and Raven used an ability that most Jan-gu could willfully execute. This ability was called Dimensional Warp. The user runs at speeds that break into the dimensional barriers without breaking it completely. This allows them to travel over long distances without the needs of an accurate location used for opening gates or dimensional portals.

"So, why was Reiji wearing that ridiculous suit?" Shiro asked.

"Those suits allow him to use his powers without people of his world noticing his abilities. They're not ready for the supernatural apparently." Raven replied.

"Yeah, that's right. This universe is one of the many that believe beings like us are nothing but myths and stories. And, this world is in the middle of an evolution period." Shiro said.

As Raven and Shiro slow down out of Dimensional Warp, they are shot down with magic blasts from the city's defense system. This was originally created for defending from invaders from human countries, but somehow the city defenses activated. A few minutes later, Reiji arrived and saw the city's main cannon charging for a huge attack.

"Sage, what going on?" He asked as he lands in an alley.

"Sorry to say, but you won't be hearing from your annoying computer system for a while." Tai's voice telepathically said.

"What did you do?" Reiji asked as he released his power.

"I rebooted your enormous computer in your fancy warehouse. And, might I add, I'm impressed. I mean really, dude. You got stuff in here that most nerds would geek over. Not to mention, the trillions of dollars worth of equipment down here. Jesus."

"Tai, since you're an idiot, I'll give you this warning. Get your dirty, greedy hand off my stuff, or face the consequences."

"Scary. Luckily, you're out there and I'm in here with your beautiful family... Tied up... with blades at their necks. Are you getting what I'm saying to you?"

"You bastard!" Reiji yelled out loud.

"What's wrong?" Touka asked as she walks out a door.

"How?"

"We were unable to teleport any closer to your house because someone placed a magic barrier that locks the space around a point.so, I chose a building at random to hide in until we figured out what happened." Reo said.

"That was Sage's idea, not mine," Reiji said.

"We know. And, we're not blaming you. But right now, we have two big problems and no way to solve them." Anko said.

"There's another problem besides this one."

"Well, technically, there's three, but the last one can resolve itself. Right now, we have to handle those idiots who have this world's most powerful weapons. And, the queen of Hyland is being lowered into a pit of magma, as we speak."

"What! We have to save her right now." Reiji said.

"You sure you want to do that. Once you do, you'll have a country, who has the most influence in this world, as an enemy. Not to mention, your powers will be exposed to the leaders of your previous world. Who knows what they'll try, just to replicate them." Reo explained.

"What do expect for me to do, Father?" Reiji asked with a concerned expression.

"I don't expect you to do anything. You make your own choices." Reo said.

"Father, I want to help her, but I need to get stronger in the next minute," Reiji said with a resolved look.

"Well, I do have a couple of ways, but only one of them isn't temporary."

"Reo, you're not seriously thinking about doing that," Lucie said worriedly.

"You heard him. He wants to get stronger in the next minute. If we take him there, he could train there for five hundred years in that minute, and be back to handle both problems alone. Besides, he needs to know what he's capable of."

Unable to argue with his logic, Lucie understood she had to let her son go with his father and second mother.

"Okay, Reiji, we're ready. But, first." Reo snapped his fingers and new black and red clothes appeared on Reiji. "These clothes should protect you from the planet crushing gravity and suffocating air for the time we're there."

"Wait, what? Where are we goiiiin" Reiji said as he dragged into a portal by Reo and Anko.

Meanwhile, in a coliseum, The queen is slowly being lowered into a pit of magma, for her public execution. She was beaten and her dress was torn.

"So, this is how my life ends, huh. Despite how it started, I glad for my life. My only regret is that I couldn't serve you, my love, Reiji." She said as she has a flashback from four days ago.

After Reiji and his family escaped Hyland, the king double the guards around the castles, and did random house checks around the capital, thinking they were still near. However, this quickly affected the opinions of Hyland's citizens, which was already favorably low. Before the citizens thought the royal family was dysfunctional with no chance of getting better. With this, the citizens were preparing for a revolution. The king knew he had to have a strategy to calm his citizens. So, he called a meeting of his most trusted advisors but was also joined by the princesses, who gave the king upsetting news.

The queen was sitting in the royal chambers while admiring the necklace, given to her by Reiji, while having her hair brushed and styled by her personal maids. Suddenly, soldiers storm into the room and surround the queen and the maids.

"What is this? Storming the royal chambers without a good reason. This is a serious offense." The queen said.

"You're wrong, my dear. They do have a good reason. They're here to apprehend a traitor of the kingdom." The king said as he walked into the room.

"Traitor? What are you talking about? Everyone in this room has been loyal to the royal crown. There are no traitors here." She said.

"Oh, but you're wrong. There is a traitor in this room. It's you, my dear." The king said as he walked up closer to the queen. Then, he noticed the necklace she was wearing. He grabbed the necklace and ripped it off. "Captain, take my traitorous wife to the dungeons and triple the guards around her. Kill anyone that tries to get near her." He commanded.

"Yes sir." The captain said as he grabbed the queen.

"Let go of me. You're making a mistake. Let go. The king has gone mad. He will be the destruction of our kingdom if he continues. That's why the agent of God was sent." The queen said as she's escorted out of the room.

Later that night, the queen was visited by Val and Freya, who attended the king's meeting.

"Isn't that sweet? Visiting your mother in the dungeon for being accused of treason. Why are you being so nice to someone like that?" The queen said.

"Isn't only right to get an explanation on why our mother would betray our father?" Freya said.

"You have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't betray your father. He has been paranoid ever since that boy and his family escaped. It did something to his pride as ki-

"Enough, Mother! I saw you. You were hiding the necklace that father ripped off you. It was a gift from that boy my age, wasn't it." Val said, interrupting the queen.

"You wouldn't understand, Valkyrie. That boy showed me things that you only read in the books of the legendary library." The queen said as she turned away from her daughters.

"Then, explain what you saw? What is that boy?" Freya said.

Suddenly, the queen, coming out of her flashback, felt something grab onto her. She opened her eyes and saw the boy with long red hair and silver eyes.

"You came for me." She said.

"Well, of course, I came for you. I can't let you die because of me." Reiji said.

"Well, you're quite the player making an old lady's heart like mine beat like that. But, you should let me down now." The queen said, with a red face.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Reiji said as she lowered her leg down.

Suddenly, she felt something intensely hot. Then, she looked around her and saw he was standing on top of the magma pit. Scared, she gripped Reiji's neck tighter.

"Hey, calm down before we fa-," Reiji said as he falls into the pit, shocking everyone in the coliseum.

"Well, that handles one problem. Now, we can focus on looking for the rest of the other-worlders. " The king said as he got up out of his seat.

"Uhh, father." Freya said as she pointed to the magma pit, which was forming a whirlpool.

Slowly, the magma pit was emptied, leaving Reiji and the queen standing at the bottom. Then, Reiji floated out of the pit. Snapping his fingers, holographic screens appeared throughout the whole country.

"Citizens of Hyland, my name is Reiji A. Lucrada, Prince of the Jan-ga and the new king of demons and beastman. Your king has declared me as a traitor to humanity and decided that, by any means necessary, I should be killed. Unfortunately, this is a form of declaring war on me, and I won't take it lightly. But, you shouldn't worry about your life. I won't be taking any innocent lives. You're all safe." Reiji said.

"Guards, capture that boy." the king yelled.

Suddenly, ten royal guards rushed from all the entrances and surrounded Reiji and the queen.

"Come along nice and quietly."

"Deja Vu."Reiji thought to himself.

"Reiji, What do you think we should do? Give up?" the queen asked.

"No, I have a plan, but you might not like it," Reiji said.

"What are you planning to do?"

Reiji, effortlessly, threw the queen into the air. The guards, trained to focus on their enemy, didn't take their eyes off him, however, they all were instantly knocked out.

"Your majesty, I think you should learn from this day. How I showed you and your people mercy."

Then, Reiji held his arms out and caught the Queen.

"What the heck?! Now is not the right time for traumatizng me." the queen said as she playfully hitting Reiji.

Reiji laughed.

"I told you wouldn't like it. But, it gave me enough time to take down the royal guards." he said as he landed.

Then, he let the queen down,out of his arm, and summoned a motorcycle, he called Rhino cycle. This motorcycle is Reiji's fastest vehicle. Using a lightning magic motor, it can reach speeds up to five-hundred thousand miles per hour, if he's not careful. In front of it is an invisible shield that acts like a Rhino's horn. It's can be used to break in any wall or castle gate, or clearing any obstacle in its way. Way more powerful than any siege weapon this world could make.

Reiji got on the rhino cycle ,and picked up the helmet, giving it to the queen.

"Get on." he said.

" Uh, Are you sure this is safe?" the queen asked.

"Yeah, it's perfectly safe. It won't bite or kill you." Reiji said.

"Alright, I'm trusting you." the queen said as she got on. However, she got on the motorcycle like she was riding a horse. Both her legs were on one side like a high-class lady riding a horse. Noticing this, Reiji had no choice, but to bring her across his lap to make sure she doesn't fall off the back. The queen turned red when he did this, but Reiji ignored it and started the motorcycle. The engine roared loudly, which echoed throughout the stadium.

"Oh right, those demons and beastmen that are in hiding here in the city. I'll be back for you soon to take you to a safe haven to call home. In one weeks time, you'll be free and prosperous in ways you can only imagine."

Then, he took off through one of the gates, the royal guards used, allowing for a clean and easy getaway. However, there was still one or two problems in their way; Freya and Valkyrie.

"Is there a problem?" Reiji asked.

"Yes, actually, There is. You see you and that woman in your lap are fugitives of this country." Valkyrie said.

"We can't let neither of you go." Freya said.

Reiji sighed.

"Girls, get out of our way!" the queen said.

"Sorry, mother, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen." Valkyrie said.

"Okay, hard way." Reiji thought to himself as he revved up his motorcycle. Then, he propelled forward as it he was a rhino himself. However, before the invisible shield touched the girls, Reiji opened a portal between them, sending himself and the queen outside the capital. However, before the portal closed, Freya and Valkyrie jumped after them.

Appearing inside the building, where Reo and the others were waiting for his return, Reiji was bombarded with questions about his transformation, especially from Touka.

"How does the situation look?" Reiji asked.

"Not good. Your mansion alone is more fortified than the castle back in our universe. You set a dimension lock barrier around it, a magic shield that can withstand any attack, and your golem army is patrolling the grounds 24/ 7. Just what were preparing for?" Reo explained.

"Truthfully, I don't know. I let Sage handle all the defense plans for the mansion and city. But, luckily, we did come to an agreement if this ever happened, we would destroy the main power battery p located deep beneath the city." Reiji said with a serious expression.

"Hey! No one said it was impossible to take back y our city. I just saying it don't make sense to have it so fortified. Your golem army would've been enough to run and protect this city while you were away. Speaking of which...

Suddenly, a wall explodes making a large hole.

"Found you," A golem,who had a punk rock look, said with Tai's voice.

"Seriously! First, you steal my city and armory. Then, you threaten my family and familiars. Now, you altered my golems. You crossed too many lines. I'm coming for you head on." Reiji said.

"Well, seems like we got no choice to follow you, but what are we going to do about them?" Reo said as he pointed to everybody else.

Raven and Shiro was still a unconscious from the magic blast. Mia and Touka could defend themselves, but it was the matter of the queen and her baggage (her daughters). They weren't the fighting type of people. They were the sadistic punishers of hyland. They had no type of martial arts training.

"One of us have to stay behind." Reiji said.

"That's my boy. Speaking like a leader during his first battle. Ryuu, stay behind and watch over everybody. And, make sure finesse two don't clog anything crazy." Reo said.

"As you wish." Ryuu said as they walked out the hole in the wall.

Then, Reiji, Reo, Anko, and Lucie released powerful auras, that spread throughout the city and the surrounding forest. Even behind the mansion's barrier, Tai and the other's felt them coming.

"Tai, what are we going to do?" one of his party members asked, scared of what's to come.

"I don't know. I don't expect them to be so powerful." he responded as he looked at the screen.

Then, he thought of a plan to use the hostages. He turned around and looked at his hostages. It was Reiji's family, the demons, and beastmen. Figuring the demons and beastmen wouldn't hold any leverage, he ordered his party to take them away.

"Tai, why are you doing this? You and Reiji used to be best friends. What happened?" Leaxia pleaded.

"You really want to know. Your son is a horrible person." Layla said.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the reason we broke up. He doesn't have the capability to love anyone. He's a soulless person."

"I don't understand. You broke up with him. Why are you mad?"

"Because, I wasted so much of my time with Reiji when I could've been with my true love." Layla said.

"So, you take my family hostage and control of my city just to get back at me for you having a horrible time with me during our relationship." Reiji said as he floated through the roof of the armory with Reo, Anko, Lucie, and he's last mother, a Kitsune named Kasai.

" Reiji!" his mother yelled.

"Don't worry. I'll finish this quickly. Then, get you out."

"Don't think so!" Tai yelled as he held out his hand, expecting something to happen. Sadly, nothing happened. Reo and Anko walked over to the main computer, and touched it. Then, something strange happened. Not only did it fix the problems Tai caused, but it also gave it an upgrade, resulting the whole armory getting an upgrade.

"Hope you don't mind, Reiji, but we wanted to give you your birthday present a little earlier." Reo said.

"Plus, he was waiting for your armors to activate their 'VsWorld' protocol. Luckily, we caught on to his plans, and completely upgraded your armory to the Jan-gu standards. Now, you don't have worry about idiots like him and her." Anko said as Reiji looked shocked.

"Speaking of which, Layla, you and Tai deserve each other. You know why because you need someone to put a leash on you to keep you in line. And, Tai needs someone that doesn't run away him and his strange kinks. A match made in heaven." Reiji said, shocking his mother who was still tied up.

"He has a sharp tongue like me, but the kindness of Reo. You definitely raised him right." Lucie said as she walked over to Leaxia. Then using 0 small fire from her fingertip, she cut Leaxia's bindings, along with the other.

Suddenly, Leaxia slaps Lucie.

"You left your baby outside my door in the cold. Don't you feel any guilt." she asked.

"No, because I knew his was being left with the most trustworthy and responsible person I know. A person who gave him a life where could choose his own path without others trying to pursue him for his lineage. So, you can hate me all you want, but know this. ou were the ideal person I wanted Reiji to learn from." Lucie said as she transformed.

"Amiko? You were Reiji's real mother." Leaxia said as she began to cry as she had flashbacks of the two of them.

"Well, my real name is Lucie A. Lucrada. But, yeah, I gave birth to him, but you raised him.". Lucie said hugging Leaxia.

Afterwards, Reiji was exploring his newly upgraded armory with his family while looking for the demons and tai's party members. He saw new technology he never seen before including a satellite capable of making universal communication possible, a demon/beastman tracker, and a prototype for the new shield generator.

"Father, how did you do all of this?" Reiji asked.

"Well, I just pictured a highly advanced armory that would make Tony jealous. Luckily, Anko was think of the same thing."

"Oh, make sense. Wait, Tony? As in Stark. He's real?" Reiji asked with excitement.

"Yeah, along with the rest of the mess ups...

Anko hits Reo side.

"I mean heroes of that universe." Reo said.

" I would love to go there, one day." Reiji said with sparkles in his eyes.

" I'll take you one day, but you have to get stronger." Reo said.

Reiji jumped up with excitement. Layla looks at Reiji as she thinks about what Reiji said. Then, she looked away as if she was frustrated by his words.

"So, what if I'm a little high strong or bitchy, that doesn't mean I need to kept in line. And, what if Tai is a massive pervert, who like NTR and S&M situations, that doesn't...

Layla noticed Reo, Anko, and Reiji looking at her, as she was thinking to herself.

"What?" Layla asked.

"Really, you think you are a little high strong." Reiji said.

"How?" Layla asked, confused.

"Jan-gu and primordials have an sensitive telepathic ability. It's very hard to control this ability even we can't fully do it yet. Plus, with you angry like that, you might as well be yelling at us." Reo explained.

"so, good questions. When you say massive pervert, what do you mean? And, do you do all these thi...

"Anko, dear, I don't think you should be talk about that with the girl. Especially, around the boy you're talking about." Reo whispered.

"You're right." Anko said.

"so, Reiji, did you enjoy your night with Raven and Mia?" Anko yelled.

Reo slaps his forehead.

" What?" his mother, Layla, and one other voice, who wasn't apart of the group, said.

Meanwhile at the building, where they left everybody, Mia and Raven sneezes simultaneously, waking Raven and Shiro."Well, this could get worse."

Back at the armory, Reiji's mother is yelling at Reiji, while Reo looks for something. After five minutes, he finds a box of what was looking for. Metallic balls. He picks up four and throws one to Reiji. Recognizing the item, he activates it and place over his mother's mouth. This was called Gagtech . It basically stops someone from talking or yelling using highly strong, malleable metal alloy as used in Reiji's armor.

"I'm sorry, mom, but we have some unwanted guest to catch." Reiji said.

"And, don't believe everything you hear from Anko. She was just teasing Reiji while exposing our targets. She didn't mean anything by it." Reo said as he placed a gagtech on both Anko and Lucie. They looked at him with anger and bloodlust. He, ignoring their expressions, walked over to Reiji. "Alright, Reiji, here's a tip on catching unwanted guest. Pull them close to you, and take them out. As for seeing them, close you eyes and feel their magical power in their bodies. Don't use your eyes. Trust your Jan-gu senses."

Reiji closed his eyes, and followed Reo's instructions. Canceling everything out in his surroundings, he focused on expanding his senses pass his own body. However, he unconsciously transformed into Transcendence form. This rare form was proof a Jan-gu was able to transcend to the level of primordial like Reo and Anko. Of all of his siblings, only two others has shown this transformation. Then, he opened his eyes and blasting a shockwave of power throughout the armory, causing everything to levitate.

"Amazing! To say you never used it, your gravity manipulation is on par with Cassiel and Rias. Now if only you could control it." Reo thought to himself.

Then, Tai's party members yelled and screamed.

"Okay, okay, we give. Get us down!"

"Please, I'm afraid of heights."

"Help! Help! Someone get me down!"

Reacting to their cries, Reiji jumped up and pulled one of them by the legs while Reo used one of his abilities, energy manipulation. He formed energy around his hands and extended them to grabbed the other two guys. Then, Reiji formed handcuffs around their wrists.

"Alright, that's all of them. What should I do with them?" Reiji thought.

"Maybe, you should put a tracker on them, and let them go. Or, you can let them stay here in the city until you find a way to send them home."

Reiji looked at Reo with a worried expression.

"You already know how to send them back, huh?"

"Yeah, but Earth is not the same. It's inhabitable. Like someo,

Reo looked at Reiji's expression, and felt a satisfied feeling. He seen it in many of his kids, but Reiji was different. Reiji was the first one they sent off as a baby, and that worried Reo. He expected Reiji to be angry and reclusive, but Reiji accepted him and his mothers easily.

"Ahem, forgetting about someone?" Leaxia asked angrily, looking at Reiji and Reo while holding the gagtech in her hand.

Reo and Reiji suddenly felt a warm, heavy pressure coming from behind them. Afraid to turn around, they did what anybody would do.

"Run," Reo said as he grabbed Reiji, and teleported away.
