Chapter 28

A woman that looked almost identical and yet taller than Nova stood right there in front of them welcoming her family with open arms even if it has been too long of a wait to finally see her baby girl personally in the living world than what it was like before being mysteriously resurrected by her ex-mate, Xzander.

"Welcome to our new home! Planet Vulia, where all endangered species are safe to roam and were the best warriors come to train" Her enthusiasm sure seemed to match Nova's, but even she was surprised to see how positive this woman is.

"Neoma? Is that actually you?" Ebba questioned the woman as she looked at him before smiling in response being very cheeky unexpected for a God like herself to be as he out of nowhere hugged her tightly as she returned the favour. "Thank the heavens you're alive!" He exclaimed overjoyed to see that she was here and unharmed by the endless hell bloodshed Xzander was causing with no one being able to stop him.

"Wait, who's going to help the others?! My son and friends are still there with that monster" Nova exclaimed in pure sheer panic just realising that her son wasn't here.

"Don't worry, Xeno is going to bring him and the others as well. He does only have 2 hands and one tail after all" Neoma replied with a chuckle entrusting this guy with her friends let alone family in the hands of a complete stranger. "Also lets get this saiyan some help, He seems to be in some serious conditions. Nothing a sensu can't heal" spotting Goku laid on the ground as Neoma removed one of the two bags that were securely tied around her black obi as she wore a black fighting Gi clearly showing that she is still in training or could possibly be a master.

Goku was brought to back to a huge developing village filled with what some would be a sanctuary from how many endangered species are living here slowly and steadily increasing their population and beat extinction, he was laid down on a sofa when Nova put a sensu bean in his mouth watching as he swallowed while all injuries vanished as if they had never existed allowing him to regain consciousness again  seeing her looking down at him concerned.

"Where am I? *Neoma pops her head over surprising him* Eh? There's two of you now?" He confusingly asked shooting up from the sofa trying to at least get a grasp on what was actually happening and for sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"Geez, dad. Don't get your hopes up, it's just my mother" Nova replied gesturing her hand at the mothering hybrid still confused and yet Neoma was a few inches taller than Nova so there was something he can tell apart between the two.

"I'm still seeing two Nova's, but all I remember you confronting Xzander before passing out. Did I miss anything good?" he asked looking up at the daughter he had raised for as long as he could remember as Neoma glanced at Ebba trying to piece everything together before seeing that this saiyan raised her daughter to be so great and yet kind towards other beings.

"You didn't really miss much since a guy called Xeno intervened and brought you, me and Ebba here as he trying to bring everyone else here too before things begin to escalate" She replied as her blood parents walked off to have a private conversation in a different room leaving these goofballs to their own devises.

"What did you want to talk about?" Ebba questioned seeing how silent Neoma was as she closed the door behind her for more privacy before glancing up at him.

"You never told me that saiyans too lived in that Universe? Why did you lie to me?" crossing her arms in a serious manner putting Ebba on the spot as he too didn't know that Nova was going to be left in the hands of a saiyan.

"Look. I know it doesn't look pleasant, but he isn't like the others despite having the desire to fight stronger opponents and that's it, but he doesn't seek the intention to harm anyone and protects both Earth, friends and family from any threats as he even killed Frieza! Son Goku isn't a threat and has treated Nova like a father should and if you have a problem then you might as well not talk to her as his sons are half saiyan and so is her son and he is just like her in every way imaginable, so don't think about ruining it or I'll be taking them back to Earth with me" Ebba replied not wanting to ruin what has been made between Nova and Son family as their love and kindness is the reason why Nova turned out to be who she is today. Neoma sighed not mad that the her own daughter is calling another saiyan her father despite the sacrifice on saving her in order to live a better life and that is exactly what she has.

"I'm not saying I hate him.. That Universe hasn't always been the best place for peace and equality among different species and having another Saiyan caring for a child that isn't theirs is truly mind blowing, but doesn't it hurt you to hear her calling another male dad?" understanding what he is coming from yet wondering if he feels any hard feelings and yet Ebba remained unfazed as he didn't expect her to hug him when first meeting as she had no clue on what her real father was other than Goku himself, but Xzander his twin made things harder when trying to kill Goku causing Nova to lash out and reply with words that no father ever wanted to hear come from their own child's mouth.

"No. And even if i was it doesn't concern you anymore as this is her life and we can't control what choices she make as our little Alula is no longer a child and must flourish on her own" Ebba replied exposing what Nova's real name was meant to be if destiny wasn't set for her to come to Earth during the war in her old Universe. Neoma gave up talking about this knowing that he was right and chose to accept how fate has set their lives to be not wanting to meddle with matters that are highly out of their reach.

When Xeno returned Zora was instantly reunited with his mother along side Zorion his father who remained vigilant of his surrounding not wanting to trust anyone here just yet. Neoma instantly fell in love when seeing her grandson now seeing what Ebba was on about as Nova gently pushed him forward, but it didn't take long for him to warm up to her due to the similarities between the two that looked alike.

"I always knew my babies would make such cute little children! Just look at him he even has your eyes and that cute little nose" Neoma babied him already wanting to spoil her grandson embarrassing her own daughter who grew red while Zora wanted to escape this woman already not used to being loved this much by another woman who looked like his mother.

"Yucky!" Zora complained as she released him finished from devouring him in endless amount of kisses as she got up ready to confront the man that made this little boy possible. Zorion remained calm not really expecting to meet her actual blood parents let alone the mother of this walking divinity he has been married to for what Nova is a few years due to dimensional training while for him its like a couple of weeks.

"Hm. You still need more training if you want to keep protecting my daughter. I refuse to let your kind slack off with your training when interloping with my daughter" Neoma said causing Nova to choke on air as Ebba held his hand over his face disappointed on his wife's wording when talking to their daughter's husband while Zorion looked on confused as he never really stopped training and has a goal to take back the win from Goku as he was now falling behind them.

"Uuh, okay? I wasn't planning on stopping training anyway, I have to catch up to the one that trained her or I'll never be able to surpass anyone anymore" Zorion said mainly talking about Goku which did catch Neoma's attention never thinking that he would be capable of being able to help her control let alone last against Nova's power. Nova walked out of the house in hopes on find the others with Zora by her side leaving Zorion to be endlessly interrogated by her blood mother giving the woman some peace.

Upon coming to the end of the village Nova used instant transmission to find them and of course they would be training, but Xeno was there too in just his base form teaching them which was new even though he was visibly stronger pushing Goku to try and tap into MUI while in SSJ5 which seemed to be a rather hard task for both him and Vegeta to do with his MUE to merge with his SSJ5 form too as this would given then a uncontrollable amount of power that would give them a higher chance of reaching up to Xzander's level.

"Oh, there you are. I was beginning to think that you wasn't going to show up, Do you wanna join in?" Xeno said knowing that a God like herself should always keep in control of her power especially being Neoma's blood daughter of a soon to be developing race if no one tends on interfering with it then there might actually be some hope left for them after all.

"No thanks. I just want to try and relax for a little bit, all that constant training and body straining has really tuckered me out, but I can watch" She kindly declined before sitting herself underneath some trees with Zora who joined her enjoying the shade while observing the monkeys with their training not wanting to ever leave his mother's side.

Zorion's PoV:

Finally I was out of that house and that crazy lady before she decides to rip my balls off! But the thought of a place like this hiding all these different people is rather remarkable this is something that should happen more often in other universe to prevent anymore species from going extinct.

During exploring the village I somehow accidentally bumped into someone causing them to stumble back as I instinctively caught them as my hand went around the back of their waist preventing them from falling as I glanced up now staring into those emerald green eyes that matched somehow perfectly with her tanned skin and caramel brown hair and tail.

"Sorry about that I didn't mean to bump into you" I apologised pulling her back up feeling her fingers brush against against my upper arm as he distanced ourselves in awkward silence as she brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear clearly nervous to talk back.

"It's okay.. I wasn't watching where I was going either" she responded looking me up and down for a second before realising something that caused her to perk up. "I am terribly sorry!" Yelling before quickly bowing in a apologetic manner until suddenly rushing off as I reached an arm out trying to stop her, but I was too late to react leaving me to just watch as she disappeared into the crowd.

"Why am I feeling like this? Aren't I married with my supposed first love? This isn't supposed to be happening" thinking to myself confused on what had just happened trying to recollect my thoughts. "'Maybe I should find Nova, she'll surely help me put my mind at ease" hoping that my own wife can collect the piece I have scattered in my mind and put them back together, but I can't fall in love with another woman after just getting married, right? "Why am I reconsidering my options? I chose to love Nova with all my heart, if so then why am I acting like this?!" Thinking endlessly about myself wondering endlessly throughout the village trying to clear my mind before seeing my family again. I am regretting everything I've made up til now, I shouldn't have left Earth, but if I didn't then surely I wouldn't been able to see my son either.. I don't know what to do?

Nova's PoV:

It has been awhile since I've seen Zorion, where could he be? Zora is waiting for him.

It has possibly been over an hour since I left Zorion with my mother, but it wouldn't stay and chat with both her and Ebba as he doesn't seem to be the type to keep long conversations so he must be exploring the place and yet I am worrying about something, but what exactly?

Xeno walking over to me as his shadow hovered over causing me to glance up as he crouched down allowing him to sit on the grass in front of us. "You okay? You seem to be overthinking about something" he asked being very generous way more than I expected from Zorion as all he was doing lately was complaining, but I can't complain I too do the same and yet he hasn't been himself for quite awhile now which has me worried about him.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, do you have any family living here?" I asked not wanting to talk too much about Zorion or it'll make me look needy or being over dramatic about my own husband who is probably trying to get familiar with his surroundings.

"If it makes things easier, I have a younger twin sister, but we aren't exactly identical. She has green eyes and lighter and more caramel hair than mine and is a experienced medic on the field" answering my question so truthfully made me feel a bit better as it allowed me to stop worrying about Zorion and get to know more about Xeno.

"Oh. I didn't know our people are capable of becoming medics, this is truly life changing" I replied with a smile as he seemed to chuckle along somehow making something within me flutter which was odd, I haven't felt something like that before as it confused me on exactly what I truly want in a person. Is this supposed to happen?

"Trust me I had no clue either, she came up to me one day after an intense fight and fixed up all of my wounds! It was then and there when we realised that she was meant to be on medic support and since then she's been training all who want to be just like her, rather remarkably if you ask me" He sounded so proud on what she had become and having him support her was very sweet reminding me of my brothers on how they helped me improve on becoming an artists and it sure didn't fail me until destiny change my path wanting me to become a destroyer due to the power I possess.

"She's lucky to have a supportive brother by her side. If I'm to be very honest with you.. I never wanted to become a destroyer, I only wanted to do this so I can take down Xzander and restore peace within the multiverse and possibly go back to Earth and live a happy life with my family as if nothing had happened, but I have a feeling that it isn't going to be that easy anymore" I replied with slight emotion trying my best not to cry as a lot of stress has been pushed up against me lately. I used my index finger to wipe at my eye prevent any tears from escaping possibly embarrassing myself in front of this man even after I have just met him and yet here I am opening myself honestly with my life as if I trusted him. This is very odd even Zora is looking at me weirdly.

"Just go with what you desire most, I'm sure they'll understand and find another destroyer to go in your place" he replied trying to make me feel better, but does he even know them like I know mine? Zora huffed growing jealous the less attention I am giving him.

"Mama!" Zora yelled clinging and tugging on my arm making me panel my attention back at him wondering what exactly my son wanted, but he didn't respond like he used to just holding tightly around my arm hugging it as my tail wrapped around his keeping him close.

No one's PoV:

In the village Zorion was still left wondering suspiciously looking around not really planning on taking the easy way out and use instant transmission to get back with the others, so what exactly is he doing other than sight seeing?

"Hey! Are lost?" A black spiky haired Zire-Jin male called out waving him over in a friendly manner seeing how clueless Zorion was.

"You could perhaps help me find my friends? I am unable to sense their KI" he lied wrapping his tail around his own waist while talking to their warrior as his BP was surely high from just being in his base form.

"Sure! What type of KI do they use?" The Zire-Jin asked as there is normal KI and God KI that most beings here are capable of achieving as Zorion sighed not wanting to go into too much depth.

"I think they're with some guy called, Xeno? He's my wife's friend. Yeah, her friend" he replied in a nervous tone while rubbing the back of his neck as the Zire-Jin knew exactly who he was on about as Xeno was one of their finest warriors and has been for quite some time since Neoma took him in, but he wasn't exactly their strongest either.

"I can help you find him. I can actually sense his KI now, it isn't that huge anymore so give a minute and I'll try to attach onto it" Zire-Jin kindly offered placing two fingers on his forehead revealing that he too knows the use of instant transmission as not all beings are capable of learning such a magnificent technique. "I've got it! Grab my hand" he said holding out his other hand as Zorion grabbed on allowing his new buddy to take him back to the others for him which was kinda lazy and suspicious, unless he isn't feeling well?

When arriving Zorion instantly retracted his hand seeing the area and how intensely the others are training before spotting Nova underneath some trees talking to what seemed to be Xeno forcing him to walk over in a very dominant manner instantly catching the warrior's attention seeing a potential challenger as Xeno shot up willing to fight this guy if he lays a finger on him.

"What's with the big walk buddy? Hope you aren't feeling cocky and want to challenge me? And if I should let you know, I ain't like most people in this village I'm half Zire-Jin and Saiyan so don't start thinking about trying to overpower me. It isn't going to happen" Xeno questioned while glaring at Zorion intensely wanting to maintain his high status here and the respect that comes across it on being the second strongest male as Ebba was excluded from the ranks due to not being an official candidate as he is like Nova a leader or possibly a Alpha male that can never be challenged leaving Xeno to be a beta unlike other males who aren't in the Omega ranks.

"No. I ain't trying to challenge a crossbreed like you, I'm just warning you to not try anything funny with my mate or there will be consequences, bud" Zorion replied standing his ground refusing to let this crossbreed surpass him or claim something that doesn't belong to him.

"We are just friends so calm down. You pure blooded Saiyans are all the same, reckless and selfish. I refuse to be apart of it" Xeno replied even though he too can be reckless and selfish if he so desirably wanted to. Zorion huffed before sitting down in silence a metre away from Nova who was confused on why he is acting so violently towards other people especially a friendly ally like Xeno who means no harm to any of them.

Nova was nervous to start a conversation scared that maybe she would be yelled at too, but when she glanced away Zorion pulled closer as his arm remained around her waist while glaring at Xeno who watched from afar already hating his Saiyan's guts while feeling sorry that she had to put up with him, but aren't all Saiyans this protective about their mate? Or is it something else entirely?
