Capsule Corporation: A few hours later.
It was all over. Beerus and Whis left, promising to return later to try the fascinating cuisine of the earthlings.
Beerus and Jin after the fight seemed to have no grudge against each other… both tried to kill each other so it was even, you could even say that they both respect each other… Although in the words of the God, Jin only beat him because he underestimated him.
Well, after Beerus and Whis left, all the Z Warriors returned to Capsule Corporation where they started a new party, with the goal of celebrating the non-destruction of the earth, and Bulma's birthday, which was interrupted by the arrival of Beerus.
Bulma invited Jin, Lala and Rias to participate in the party and stay at her house, after all, they still believe that it was her request for the dragon balls that brought them to her world.
The three of them didn't hesitate to accept Bulma's invitation, after all, they didn't know how many days or months they still had to stay there, not to mention that the three of them had no money or housing. It's best to live under the care of the richest woman in the world.
And now, they're in the middle of Bulma's party.
"I can't beat you in terms of power! But I don't lose to anyone in eating!" Goku exclaimed, stuffing his mouth with a roasted chicken leg.
(・_・;)
"...It's not that I want to compete..." Jin muttered, he was eating normally, unlike some people… Although there's a mountain of plates beside him, indicating the large amount he had eaten.
"I refuse to lose to Kakarot, and neither do you!" Vegeta beside her was devouring an entire lobster…
Everyone was gathered at the tables, laughing and talking animatedly, even betting on which of the three pure-blooded Saiyans could eat the most… It doesn't even seem like a few hours have passed, the universe was almost on the verge of being destroyed
"Hahaha, come on Jin!" Lala exclaimed from the side, giving him her enthusiastic support.
"These Saiyans, they have a metabolism that I sometimes envy…" Bulma crossed her arms, a smile on her face as she took in the lively scene around her.
She looked to her side, where Rias was sitting with a blank stare.
"What happened? Are you feeling bad?" Bulma asked her worriedly.
Rias heard Bulma talking to her, shaking her head, Rias looked at her. "It's not that… It's just that I feel like my outlook on everything has changed… I feel like all the things I was worried about before weren't that important, compared to what happened today."
"I've felt that way too. Decades ago I was just a naive, dreamy teenager searching for magic orbs with a childish desire to land the perfect boyfriend… But then I met Son-kun." Bulma rested her chin on her palm, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Years later, it wasn't long before I learned that my friend wasn't even human… From the revelation of the Saiyans, everything changed, one moment it was the planet that was in danger, another moment it was the universe… Sometimes I'm scared of what's out there, scared that even the strongest on earth can't handle it." Bulma closed her eyes in contemplation.
She opened her eyes and shook her head, giving Rias an apologetic smile. "Well, I shouldn't be here telling you these useless things. Go have fun like Lala-chan, maybe that can clear your thoughts."
With that, Bulma politely said goodbye and headed off with her friends.
Rias watched his retreat for a few moments.
'When you look at things from such a broad perspective, you sometimes realize how useless you are... He's younger than me, but here he is, so strong that not even a God who could destroy the universe can stand against him. Compared to him, I feel pathetic. I see how naive I was to leave everything in the hands of my brother, believing that he would find a way to annul this ridiculous marriage...' She lowered her head with a sigh of frustration.
'I should have worked harder... I should have trained more... I should have helped my peerage with their problems... I'm so useless.'
'I want to be stronger, to have the strength so that no one can control me... Like him.' Rias looked longingly at Jin's figure surrounded by Bulma's enthusiastic friends.
'Maybe the reason I always carried a part of him with me... was because he made me feel stronger.' She took out of her pocket the photo she showed Jin, before they ended up on this crazy trip to another land. She took that picture of him, right after she sent that brute flying... It was just the picture of his back, the back that looked like it could bear everything.
She put the picture back in her pocket, suddenly, she raised her hands and slapped her cheeks hard, leaving big red marks on them.
She decided to follow Bulma's advice and have some fun, she could regret it and make a decision later.
°°°
"Hey! You're really going to teach us how to transform into a Super Saiyan God!" Goku's shout sparked the curiosity of everyone who heard it.
The party was about to end, but Jin had the idea to take advantage of this time where everyone is gathered and teach Goku and the others the method of transforming into a Super Saiyan God.
"Is something like that really possible?" Piccolo raised his eyebrows in doubt.
"It's very simple, we have everything we need for each of you three to transform." Jin pointed at Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan.
"So please! Show us how we can transform into gods!" Goku immediately asked excitedly, already thinking of facing Jin and Beerus as soon as he achieved the transformation.
Vegeta, despite not showing it, after Goku, was the one who most desired this kind of power.
Everyone began to gather around Jin, curious to know how Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan achieved the Super Saiyan God transformation.
"Well, pay attention. The "Super Saiyan God" is the legend among the legends of the warrior race, us Saiyans. The power of six pure-hearted Saiyans must be infused in order for one of them to reach this form. A Super Saiyan God once appeared on Planet Vegeta to stop the evil Saiyans, but failed only due to the time limit of the transformation... And so he became a forgotten legend among our race." Jin explained calmly and everyone listened attentively.
"Six Saiyans... With Mister Jin it seems we have them all." Gohan muttered as he looked at the other Saiyans.
"Hm, aside from others like Goku, Gohan, and Goten. Vegeta and Trunks, they're not that pure." Piccolo said grumpily.
(^_^メ)
"Piccolo, why do you say my son doesn't have a pure heart?" Tights grabbed the Namek's cloak with a smiling expression… that hid clear irritation.
'Hmph, this boy is already infected by Vegeta's personality...'. Piccolo didn't say anything, he simply turned away, not wanting to face the fury of a woman.
"It doesn't hurt to try, right?" Jin gave his opinion.
"Well, then let's try it!" Goku said clenching his fists expectantly.
All the Saiyans gathered in a circle. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten and Trunks... But they noticed that there was someone outside.
"Jin-san, aren't you coming? We need one more Saiyan." Gohan asked Jin, who was watching everything from outside, with his arms crossed.
"Trust me, I'm not the kind of Saiyan who has a pure heart... Even the prince over there has a purer heart than me..." Jin shook his head and explained to him the reason why he doesn't participate in the ritual.
"But if we don't have six, then we won't be able to do it." Goten said worriedly.
"Actually… there's one more."
Gohan and the others heard a familiar voice, and coming out from among those watching everything… it was Erasa?
'Now I noticed strange things… The one married to Vegeta is not Bulma, but her sister Tights. Krillin is married to Maron and Gohan is married to Erasa… Mr. Satan is nowhere to be seen, is he dead? What happened in this timeline for this to happen?', Jin pondered for a few seconds.
"I wanted to say it at a more special time… But witnessing everything that happened today made me reconsider that idea…". Erasa caressed her abdomen.
The smarter ones already knew what Erasa was referring to.
Gohan was also quick enough to realize.
His face immediately filled with joy and he ran to hug Erasa while the others applauded and congratulated the two.
'I also felt this happy when I found out I was going to be a father...' Jin watched the scene with mixed emotions.
"Why the melancholic face?"
Jin heard a voice beside him, he looked down a little to see Android 18 there, arms crossed, watching the scene like him.
"Nothing... I just remember past things." Jin sighed and replied.
Number 18 nodded, the conversation ending there and the two of them remaining in a comfortable silence.
After the heartwarming discovery and the shower of congratulations... Everyone gathered together to perform the ritual.
To perform the ritual, the six righteous Saiyans gather in a circle, all holding hands in the process. The Saiyan selected to ascend (Which in this case was Vegeta, as he won at Rock, Paper, Scissors.) Then, everyone turned into a Super Saiyan (with the exception of Erasa) and sent their powers into Vegeta. It didn't take long for a blue aura to appear around the group, enveloping each individual in the ritual.
All of this aura converged on Vegeta, covering his body from head to toe in a bright light, making it impossible for others to see him.
When the blue glow disappeared, Vegeta finally transformed into Super Saiyan God.
"W-What an incredible power." Vegeta couldn't believe the power he had obtained... It was on a whole different level.
"Just like Jin, I can't sense his presence." Goku commented.
"Well, now that you feel a divine Ki, make sure to remember this feeling well. If you do, you can transform at will." Jin informed.
Vegeta, who was impressed with his own power, couldn't help but become filled with confidence and looked towards Jin… The strongest Saiyan.
'With this power, I'm now at his level…'.
Wanting to test his newfound strength, in front of everyone's eyes, Vegeta immediately took off towards Jin, his fist extended with the intention of hitting him.
But before he even reached him, his body reacted first… He froze… Like a statue. Soon came the acceleration of heart rate and breathing, muscle contraction with tremors in legs and hands, sweating, paleness…
Was he feeling afraid?… How could he, the Prince of Saiyans, be afraid? Why? Was it those eyes?
His gaze was frozen in the aggressive, beastly bright yellow eyes with black pupils.
"At least you know when to stop… What you feel now is basically the body's way of preparing us for something that represents a threat or danger… Or fear." Jin's yellow eyes returned to their black color.
"What happened?" Kuririn wondered.
Some already had an idea of what happened. Vegeta clearly intended to attack Jin, but suddenly stopped a few feet away with a terrified expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
"That idiot Vegeta tried to attack him, hmph, looks like he was too arrogant and learned his place." Piccolo couldn't help but mock the Saiyan prince.
(A/N: For those wondering, no, I don't hate Vegeta. He's my second favorite Dragon Ball character)
Vegeta lowered his fists, realizing that no matter what he did, even with the power of the gods coursing through his veins, he still didn't stand a chance against the Saiyan before him.
"Well, it's not that I don't understand. Every time I discover a more powerful transformation, I feel invincible... Although I know that's not the case." Jin stroked the back of his neck and turned, walking somewhere else.
"Now that you know about the Super Saiyan God, you don't need me here, I'm going to take a little stroll around here, I'll be back when the party is over." Jin waved his hand.
"Ah! Wait, Jin!" Lala immediately followed him, like the clingy girl she is.
"I'll go after them too, see you later, Bulma-san." Rias ran after the two aliens.
Bulma sighed in annoyance, turning her eyes to Vegeta who seemed to have recovered.
"Congratulations, garden gnome, you had to ruin everything by trying to beat up the one who saved your ass from Beerus." Bulma was pissed... Her guest of honor/shield against the God of Destruction/romantic interest was gone, he's probably not pleased with Vegeta's attitude.
Well, actually, Jin wasn't even worried about Vegeta's tentative attack.
Bulma had planned to get to know more about him ever since he came to Capsule Corporation, but sadly she was busy organizing a new party and with her friends that she didn't even have time to say a word to him... Something that even Android 18, a woman she believes incapable of finding a husband, talked to him about.
"Haaa~ I think that'll be for later." Bulma murmured.
°°°
"Lala-chan is amazing, ever since she got here she adapted quickly, I haven't even seen her worry... Well, she only really worried when you two were fighting, besides, she even seems to be enjoying it on a school trip." Rias commented beside her.
Jin and her, leaning against a wall, watched from afar as Lala, who was apparently impressed by the shapes of the houses, the flying cars, the new technology.
For Rias it was something incredible too... It was a completely different world. So many new things to see and experience, a whole unknown world to discover. How many demons could say they set foot on another planet earth? Perhaps none other than her. When will I get another chance like this? Perhaps never again.
"She always showed extreme confidence in you... Even when you were hurt or at a disadvantage, she didn't lose that confident expression, even if she was worried."
Jin curved his lips into a small smile. "I can just imagine her doing that, I don't even know what I did to make this girl trust me so much, we've only known each other for a few days."
Rias was a little surprised. "A few days? Anyone would think she's some sort of childhood friend of yours."
"I know, this girl is special in her own way. I don't doubt she could get along with almost anyone."
Rias nodded, Lala seems like a nice person to befriend.
The two remained silent for a while… Appreciating the starry sky that could rarely be seen with the naked eye when in the middle of a big city.
"Jin-kun... Could you train me?"
This sudden question from Rias surprised the Saiyan a little. Well, knowing Rias's character, she was never a very hard-working person. Because her father Zeoticus and brother Sirzechs spoiled her from an early age, she has a somewhat impatient and selfish personality. You could say that thanks to these two she's not a very hardworking girl, in terms of wanting to become stronger.
Perhaps she even has a certain inferiority complex in relation to her brother, who is the most powerful Devil.
Well, Jin never liked Sirzechs, we agree that he is a shitty Maou.
It's quite unexpected of her to make such a request, Jin thought she would be waiting for her prince charming to appear and offer to reincarnate him into a demon so she could defeat Riser Phenex, and the end... The two live happily ever after.
"Why?". - Jin asked.
Rias smiled embarrassedly... "Well, seeing you do all this made me think from a different perspective. I think it's time for me to take control of my own life, without my brother, without my family... . I don't want to wait for help from them as a useless person, I also want to help others who need me, like Akeno and the others".
(・–・;)ゞ
'Does watching myself beat someone up serve as character development?'
Well, Jin never had anything against Rias. She can be spoiled, arrogant, stupid, naive, lazy, her taste in men is shit (Cough! Issei)... As someone flawed, Jin can't judge her. She's just starting to live and learn from her mistakes.
'But if she's willing...' Being a master is being a conductor of souls and dreams, it is polishing diamonds... seeing your students reach their greatest potential, both mentally and physically.
Jin showed a serious expression, which made Rias unconsciously straighten up, like a soldier seeing his superior. "If you really want this, there will be no turning back. No matter how much you cry or ask me to stop... Wait! Wait! This is getting weird."
"Pff!" Rias almost laughed out loud. She unexpectedly has a very nice sense of humor.
"Well! Anyway, you understand. I'm not going to go easy on you just because you're a cute girl." Jin pointed at her, resuming his seriousness.
"Y-Yeah!" She knew he wasn't joking... Rias even started to imagine how hard the training was going to be.
*Gulp!
She gulped and worriedly thought, 'Was that really a good idea?'
"By the way, why is your face red since we got here? You have a fever or something." Jin asked Rias.
⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
"A-Ah, that's..." Rias sounded her throat and pointed at him. "Clothes..." It was his clothes, well, what was left of them, which was the part from the waist down. His torso is completely bare.
"Oh, I forgot. Thank you for letting me know, I'll check with Bulma if she can give me some clothes."
'Who knew... even he's a bit clumsy.' Rias thought with a smile on her beautiful face.
And so began the most difficult year of his short life as a demon.
