The Realm Time Machine was small, but fit the three of them snugly all together. Chisato found herself being held by Shallot as Trunks readied the engine and set the coordinates.

"We're going back right to the moment we left. I don't know if anything will change, but it should be fine." Trunks said. He was sitting down at the control panel seat, adjusting knobs, and looked over his shoulder. When Trunks saw Chisato being hugged by Shallot he let out a low growl and angrily smacked the button.

The Realm Time Machine whirred to life and they rose into the sky before vanishing.

Xenoverse - Time Nest

 

They arrived within the mostly destroyed Time Nest of Conton, and as the time machine stopped rotating and landed with a 'taka' 'taka' coming from its legs, Trunks stood up from his seat and abruptly yanked Chisato away from Shallot. He then said, "Chisato! You've turned back into a saiyan!"

The girl looked down, seeing nothing past her keenly developed breasts, squished together in a white long sleeve crop top with thumb holes. She tilted her head, also seeing thigh length auburn hair and rusty colored skin. "E-Eh?!"

"I thought that might happen, actually. It makes sense. The game remembers your player Data and automatically changed you into the last equipment you had." Trunks explained.

"Noodles! Glad to have you back!" Shallot ruffled her hair and received a sharp blue glare from her boyfriend Trunks, whom smacked it away.

"Don't touch her so much," Trunks growled.

"Hey man--chill out. You know I'm just....ahh, fuck it." Shallot smirked, "You two aren't married yet, you know? I still have a shot."

Trunks yanked Chisato, now Rhuda, to his chest, suffocating her head with his arm. "She's mine."

"Touchy touchy."

The three of them watched the dome cover lift from the time machine and all hopped out. The Time Nest was around them, and it had saw better days. Where there was once a large glass encasing, now had more cracks and holes than ever before. The pond was blown to pieces, and the grass had large craters.

Carefully they walked over and were greeted by the group which had been present before, as well as Beerus and Whis. Skot and Elder Kai were there, as well.

"Trunks!" SKOT shouted. She ran across the grass. "You're back! We were so worried!"

"Yeah, sorry about that." Trunks rubbed his neck. "I've got a explanation, I promise. But first, can you do me a favor and call Broly, Gohan and Goten here? Oh, and Bra and Pan too. They all need to hear this. In fact, I also need the patrollers in training to come too."

Chronoa was speechless. "...You need everyone? What could it be?"

"I'll explain! But, I need all of you to hear it. That way I don't have to keep repeating myself." Trunks said.

"Well, alright...that's going to make this place very crowded...but I trust you."

SKOT left to summon everyone. Trunks said to Rhuda, "You need to save."

"Right! S-Sorry!"

*beep*

Trunks let out a sigh. "I hope I'm doing the right thing here."

"And I hope there's food soon." Shallot grabbed his stomach. "I'm starvinggggg!"

Rhuda couldn't help but notice how good smelling Trunks was. She leaned a little, smelling his arm, and he flushed bright red. "C-Chisato. You uh, well...probably shouldn't get too close."

Without a word the girl backed away, bumping Shallot. "S-Sorry!"

Her nose detected that Shallot, too, smelled quite nice. Whereas Trunks had blushed, Shallot smirked. "Get you a big whiff!"

"Grrrr...."

The growl came from Trunks. He was glaring most impressively at Shallot who held his arms up in defeat. "Hey now, she's the one smelling me."

"She can't help it. But you, on the other hand..."

His words cut off as the saiyan elite walked over. "So, what's this big announcement?" Goku, wearing an orange gi and blue boots, asked.

"It's a long story. I need to wait until everyone is here." Trunks said.

Vegeta and Vegeta both scowled. "Hn."

Finally everyone shuffled in. Xeno Gohan, Pan, Bra and Goten sought out Trunks. "What's going on?" Xeno Gohan asked.

"Tell you in a minute."

Beerus the destroyer yawned. "Well it had better be fast. I'm dying of boredom and want to take a little cat nap. After I fill my belly, of course."

At last even the time patrollers in training filled the seen better days Time Nest. Trunks hopped onto the foyer column platform of the Time Vault and looked them over. "I've brought you all here because..."

He began an incredibly long explanation about how they were in a game, and who their enemy was, and the dangers he'd faced already, what with his mind being erased and Fu being involved, and further went on to say, "I know it all seems far fetched and crazy. But everything I've said is the truth! I need everyone to work together so we can protect reality, and this game!"

Everyone was silent. Trunks let out a sigh and motioned for Shallot to come up. After he was beside Trunks on the Time Vault, Trunks also said: "As of today I am stepping down from being Leader. We have a new Leader, and his name is Shallot!"

Shallot lifted his hand in a lazy wave. "Yo."

There came claps. Shoots. Exclamations of surprise and shock, followed by Trunks' family rushing up to him. "What! You're stepping down?!" Bra asked, grabbing his shirt.

"Yeah. I'll tell you why...later."

Bra was sure it had something to do with Rhuda, or the 'vessel' as she was called. It irked her even further.

Shallot crossed his arms and said to Bra, "Looks like you'll be taking orders from 'me', now." He smirked.

It earned him a fierce glare from Bra, who punched his face. "As if! I'll never take orders from you!" She stormed away, flying out of the Nest.

"Ow."

Trunks shook his head. "Uh, good luck with that, Shallot."

"Thanks."

Trunks and Shallot came down and answered probably a million questions that Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Pan had for him. They were all competely shocked that it was a game they were living, and then zeroed in on Rhuda, whom was being stared at by the patrollers in training.

"So...that's her? The one they're after?" Pan asked.

"Yeah. Her real name is Chisato Shino. She's a human." Trunks said.

He answered even more questions until it felt like his brain was going to explode. Even Beerus and Whis wanted to know a few things, and Trunks couldn't wait to be done talking. He let out a yawn.

SKOT sent the training time patrollers away, whom she'd assured that everything would be alright. That's when Trunks got hit over the head by her tiny fist. "Trunks Briefs! How could you go and do such a thing!"

"C-Calm down--!" Trunks held his hands up in defeat, but Chronoa smacked him again. "You! Going back in time, and even disturbing a different reality! What were you thinking!"

"I-I was protecting this place." Trunks said. "And the Time machine I used was special. It doesn't create rifts, for one."

SKOT calmed down a little. She let out a sigh. "Even so, by going there you merged the real world and this 'game'."

Trunks shook his head. "No. They did that in the beginning. The Beta game we're in was created using high level technology, capable of transmitting soul energy into data. In other words, make a character a real person. And seeing that fact that Fu was able to go to the real world, I'm willing to beat they only needed to reverse that energy extension to do that."

"How could they do that?" Goku asked.

"Well...I'm not sure about that part, Goku. But they're after the Ancient one, and need a willing sacrifice to take that form, or possess. That's why they want Rhuda. So...there must be 'limits' on what their technology can do. I need to know what those are, and fast."

Broly whom had been quiet looked to Rhuda, who was and wasn't his sister. His dark eyes held deep sadness within them, and he hung his head. Goku, seeing Broly look so down, pat his shoulder. "Hey. She's still Rhuda, you know?"

Trunks nodded. "That's right Broly. Who you remembered as Rhuda has been Chisato all along, the only difference is that her soul hadn't been entered until she died in the real world. When that happened, all the data the game had set in place transferred over to her...well, sorry. To uh, put it simply, Chisato has always been your sister in this game. She just can't remember her character from before her arrival here."

Broly nodded. He leaned, grabbing Rhuda to him and squeezed her. "I will....remember for her." Broly said.

Everyone smiled.

Rhuda had a large blush on her face and nuzzled his neck, smelling him and liking it, until Broly too grew red and sat her down, only to pet her head affectionately.

Trunks was beyond tired of talking at that point, and asked to speak more, later, after all had rested. Everyone agreed and began to leave. Only Shallot, SKOT and Elder Kai, along with Rhuda and Trunks remained. Trunks apologized thoroughly and said he'd begin work on a way to keep Fu from being able to come to the Nest, and in the mean time, Shallot needed to go back to the real world and keep a sharp eye out for invaders.

Shallot was reluctant to go back but said he would after a shower and meal.

With a sigh of fatigue Trunks asked Rhuda to go with him. She followed after, both flying, until reaching the transporter, where the girl became scared to enter it. Trunks said, "Don't worry. You won't go anywhere crazy. But just in case you can take my hand."

She did so and they made it to Capsule. "Ano...why are we going here?" She asked.

"Well uh, uhm..." Trunks didn't want to say the reason, really. In truth he had intentions of asking Rhuda to bite him to restore her lost memories.

"Trunks?"

"Er---I'll uh, tell you when we get there."

He led her up to the floor where his room reside and bade her to enter. She did cautiously, tail between her legs. Trunks asked her to sit down and she did, and he began to pace back and forth in a fluster.

"What I'm going to ask you may seem really strange, Chisato." Trunks said.

The girl nodded. "Okay." She waited.

"I need you to uh...well....b-bite me."

"E-Eh? Ano...I think I heard something wrong." She said.

"No, you heard right. It's necessary to help you remember everything."

"...You want me to...bite...Trunks? Like...a vampire?" She asked, flushing red.

"Yeah."

Rhuda looked at Trunks in a confused manner. She didn't understand how biting him could help anything, but nodded anyway. "Y-Yes, then, okay! Ano...but what if I hurt you?"

He shook his head. "It doesn't hurt."

Trunks sat down beside her and moved aside his lilac hair, angling himself close to her nose. At first the girl squeaked, but hesitantly leaned up to his peachy neck and gulped a little.

Slowly she bit her teeth into him and held it there, unsure of how much strength to use. After the first nibble doing nothing, however, she bit a little harder, until hearing a sound come from him.

H-He made a strange noise...

Rhuda tried again a little harder, still not able to draw blood, and Trunks placed his hand at the nape of her neck and pressed her teeth quite harshly onto him. "L-Like this."

At that moment a scent rose to her nose and called for a proper bite. Her hands went around his sides as she sank into him as hard as she could, and he groaned, going slack against her.

Salty iron filled her mouth.

"Nn...y-yeah, like that....ha..."

His voice had changed a little, maybe deeper and even more raspy and growling.

For some reason her body reacted and began a painful throbbing down below, between her legs. It actually hurt. She shut her eyes and flicked her tongue across the wound, suckling tightly. More redness filled her mouth until she swallowed. Right after the first gulp came a craving, and Rhuda growled, tightening her grip.

"C-Chisato," Trunks groaned. His head fell forward a little as he panted, as though overcome.

She circled the bite with her tongue again right as a wave of heat washed over. Her mind became blank, like a page of white paper, and the girls heart changed its pace. Rhuda was swiftly caught by Trunks, who had shut his eyes in pleasure.

***

***

Trunks noticed that unlike the first time, Rhudas Ki didn't vanish. He was unexpectedly relieved, knowing that it was due to her soul residing inside Rhuda, and not some sort of posession. Gently he laid her down on his bed and watched as she panted with fever, gritting her teeth together.

I almost lost it, he thought.

His hand touched the bite mark, and while she slept Trunks did his best to calm himself down. He'd gotten too excited, feeling her mouth on him, and had even imagined that tongue going to other places on his body. Of course that was only for a second before he reeled himself back to the present.

Just as he began to stand and search for his notebook to review while she recovered her memories, Trunks detected a high level of Ki. He glanced, seeing that it was Rhuda. It was more than he'd ever felt from her before and only rising.

A feeling washed over him.

Anger.

He grit his teeth. It wasn't 'his' anger he felt, but Rhudas', and Trunks could only guess what had made her so upset. He recalled Fu killing him and the words of Matsuri, taunting him at the end.

It meant that Rhuda now remembered everything, and would be back to normal soon.

At least that's what he thought.

However, as her green eyes opened, she sat up sharply in the bed and fiercely glared at Trunks. Not only that but her energy continued to rise higher and higher, until Trunks had to say something. "Is everything alright?"

"..."

Instead of a normal reaction, Rhuda snarled her teeth back. What came out could only be described as a beast, "They...killed you."

Swallow.

"Yeah, but---I'm alright now. See?" He pat his chest.

Rhuda growled louder and made to stand. Her Ki was beginning to shatter his window, and rattling everything on the shelf.

Trunks hurriedly got to her. "Chisato, its okay!"

"...No," came her growl. It was deep, rumbling and not anything like the Chisato he knew.

At that second a huge wave of energy rose from her, lifting her hair and swaying it round and round. Her eyes sharpened, as did her teeth, turning into fangs. Trunks took a step back. "You need to calm down!"

He was puzzled what to do. She was so angry--he could feel it--and nothing he said was helping.

Rhuda hovered a few feet from the ground of his room and clenched her fist. As though she were talking through a snout she growled, "I won't calm down ...I'll kill Fu! He...dared...to hurt my Trunks!"

Her words unveiled an even larger amount of Ki. It began swirling in light green all around her body. Slowly the green eyes he knew and loved were changing, fading to the hue of a orange streaked sunset. Even her hair was turning, and it went from auburn to light aquamarine and back again several times, before settling on the new shade. Rhudas bangs which were normally forward and spiked lifted, turning back on themselves and showing her heart shaped face clearly.

Trunks gulped.

That energy! Its unreal!

"Chisato--! You have to get a grip! You're going to destroy the house!" He shouted.

Gone was the timid and shy Chisato he knew. In her place was a saiyan warrior with righteous fury at the death of her mate, and Trunks could only hope he was strong enough to prevent her from wrecking all of Capsule in time.

The walls broke open and splintered away from her green aura, and she looked down from her sharp, tan nose at him. "...You won't stop me Trunks."

Ah, she'd read his thoughts and knew what he planned to do.

Trunks had to be fast.

"I'm not happy with you either, you know. You left me, thought I was too weak to help." Rhuda said.

She charged her Ki even higher and the ceiling ripped off.

Swwfsss

Goku was there. "Woah! What the heck? I was wondering where that massive power was coming from! Is that you, Rhuda?"

Trunks nodded. "She's lost control of her anger. I need to get her calmed down, but nothing I say is helping!"

Rhuda rose her hand and blasted towards Trunks, who dodged and transformed into a SSG to avoid the fast attack. Goku, most impressed, looked excited to fight her, and stepped towards Rhuda with a grin. "I finally get to spar with you!"

"Goku, now isn't the time--" Trunks said, dodging another blast.

"Aw come on! This is the perfect time! She's at her peak, I can tell. I knew she had potential to be a great fighter like Gohan, she just couldn't unlock it." Goku said. His hair shot up and turned blue.

Vegeta flew down from the broken room, now resembling a battle zone. "What the bloody hell!"

"Trunks here made her mad," Goku said.

"H-Hey--I didn't mean to," Trunks replied.

Rhuda growled. She eyed them all and snarled, "None of you will stop me. Get out of my way, Fu is MINE!"

Her energy made them all throw their arms up to block the attack. Vegeta, seeing the danger, said to Goku, "Help me restrain her!"

"Father! She plans to go to the Dark Demon Realm! We have to stop her!" Trunks shouted.

Goku and Vegeta nodded and faced Rhuda. At once they attacked and moved in, both SSGSS, and Rhuda kicked first Goku, then Vegeta, bursting apart the room. Through the dust Trunks came and pinned her arms down. It did nothing, as she flexed and threw him away with ki.

"That power...!" Vegeta said, amazed.

"Where is it coming from?" Goku asked. Trunks shook his head. "Beats me. She's never gotten mad before, so I never...knew she was capable of this level of strength."

Goku blasted her with a kamehameha, which she took full force and came out unscathed. "Well she IS Brolys sister."

Vegeta appeared behind her and said, "Gatlin Gun!"

Rhuda turned and vanished, teleporting behind SSGSS Vegeta where she then struck his neck. He fell forward, fading back to base form and landed with a thud down below on the grass outside Capsule.

Goku watched her movements and tried to see what to do, how to hem her in without hurting Rhuda. He was smirking, though, as if right all along. Trunks saw his face and sighed. "Goku. This 'is' my girlfriend. Try to be gentle?"

"Eh he he! Sorry, Trunks, but no promises!"

Trunks sighed again as Goku flew up to Rhuda hovering in the sky and began lightning fast hand to hand combat. Their touching limbs flashed like round spheres against one another, until Goku IT in front of Rhuda and held her arms down. To Vegeta and Trunks he said, "A little help here!"

With Trunks and Vegeta helping, Rhuda was held fast in their powerful grip. She glared at Goku most foul. "...Why do you want to stop me?"

"Because you can't just run in all gung ho like that," Goku said. He gave the girl a gentle smile, "I understand how you feel. But this isn't the answer."

Rhuda began to tear up. Her green energy faded down, down, along with her hair and bangs. Seeing that she was normal again Trunks and Vegeta let her go, and Goku cradled her to him, hugging her tightly. She sobbed on his chest, getting it damp, but Goku remained still until she was at last calmed down.

Her head rose. "...He killed him. He...he killed Trunks..."

"That has to be painful." Goku sympathized, which caused her to have another round of fresh tears.

"Trunks---why did he have to go alone...? I--I would rather die than him---it should have been me...uuu..."

"There, there. We'll take care of Fu. It's gonna be alright, okay, Chisato?"

Rhuda hugged him tightly around the waist and nodded, rubbing her face into his chest and clinging on, as if he were a giant teddy bear that brought comfort. With a smile Goku gave Vegeta and Trunks a thumbs up.

At last things were normal again. Well, all except for Capsule.

Vegeta flew up to them and pulled Rhuda away, as if angered. "Quit hogging her!"

"I-I wasn't trying to!"

The prince growled and said, "Get your own daughter!"

Trunks watched and shook his head at them. They were going back and forth, half arguing over who got more time with Rhuda, when Trunks cleared his throat. "Uhm. Guys...can I have my girlfriend back now?"

Goku and Vegeta each had one of her arms, and Rhuda was blinking, wondering just what was going on. Goku snagged her first and said, "Just a little more! I wanna talk to her about that crazy power. We should think of a name for it. What about, Berserk Rhuda?"

Vegeta scoffed. "Ridiculous. It should be Ultimate Rhuda. And give her back!"

"Hey! I had her first!" Goku pouted. "You already have a daughter."

"Shut up! She's my sons woman and therefore, also my daughter. Get over it!"

"That's not very nice Vegeta. Didn't anybody teach you to share?"

It was clear both Goku and Vegeta were impressed by Rhudas potential, and therefore eager to train her under them. Trunks listened with a resigned face for a time until he flew up and said, "T-That's enough, you guys."

"Well, tell Kakarot to back off! She's ours!" Vegeta said.

Goku crossed his arm in a sulk. "Man! I've only got Gohan to train with, and he never fights anymore. Let me train her first!"

"You have Broly! And Goten!"

"Yeah but Goten is too young still. And Broly is pretty much already trained."

Rhuda was getting swirly eyed, being haggled over back and forth like some prime cut of rib steak. Trunks snickered and said, "Maybe Chisato should answer that."

Finally Goku and Vegeta stopped arguing and looked to Rhuda, who quickly ducked down and bowed. "Ano...t-thank you both f-for wanting to help me. I--I don't know who t-to choose, though..." She gave Trunks a pleading look, and he ruffled her head.

"No pressure. Decide when you want." He said to her.

The two saiyan rivals wore a smirk on their face and hovered to her, taking one tiny hand a piece. "...We'll both train you." Vegeta said. Goku nodded. "Yeah. It worked before, right?"

Rhudas heart swelled. She couldn't help but feel accepted and loved, having them near. They even called her by her true name now. She beamed a radiant smile to them and giggled. "Yes! I'd like that, very much!"

"Awwww~" Goku crushed her to him in a bear hug, swinging her around. "Chisato is too cute! I want a daughter!"

"Hey! That's enough hugging!" Vegeta growled. "Go ask Chichi to give you one!"

Goku pouted at him like he'd told him the last cookie was his. "She doesn't want anymore babies. So I'll be taking Chisato! By now!"

Before either Trunks or Vegeta could intervene, Goku had IT it out of there with his new protege, Rhuda.

They'd all learned a valuable lesson that day. Never piss off Rhuda.
