A Beast.
She could feel it. As Maeve sat in her usual spot on the lookout meditating: she could feel a series of ripples within "The Flow" of the world. They were short, violent, and overwhelmingly powerful. It was the type of presence that could keep one up at night. It was something impossible to pinpoint or even justify as being really there but had the looming threat of demise that sent shivers down one's spine. It was a feeling that she had felt once before even if she didn't truly recognize it. A power that could darken the sky...
...The bestial mixed with the divine...
...The mortal embodiment of death itself.
A Snake.
The cement to her fear was the combating force. The ripple that clashed with the phantom was unmistakably the presence of the Zetto Senshi who lost their way. A warrior desperate to sever the head of the great snake that threatened to claim the world in it's jaws.
Walker.
It seemed he was right to fear that Zucceta would come knocking on their doorstep. Was he laughing to himself now? Mocking her for stopping his attempted Apocalypse? Questioning her right to protect the world when the woman who claimed her fiance walked free?
A Murderer.
Yes...
The one who used her power to strip her love of his humanity to transform him into a marred reflection of himself was on her doorstep.
But...
It was different. The queen who willingly drew out the strongest of the galaxy to contest her might was sneaking about, hiding her presence. She was squaring off against one of Earth's heroes, sure, but she was without her armies. She was without her fanfare. She didn't come driving the conquest she was denied last time so why would someone with such pride give up and risk it all by coming alone?
This might not have been the act of war people were so desperately waiting for. Zucceta could have been working outside the mold the other denizens of Earth placed her in.
What was she doing?
Maeve's eyes opened as she stood up. She walked to the edge of the lookout to gaze upon the skyline before she would let her thoughts go, trying to use the flow to carry them to where they needed to be heard.
"Queen Zucceta. If these words reach you as I suspect they will, please come to me. I'm sure you can find the source of my message just as I am sure you may probably suspect this to be some sort of trap but heed me when I say: I merely wish to speak with you directly. There are no others with me and I have means to assure we are undisturbed. As the one who seeks to take Bing Gan's mantle as guardian you have my word."

The queen stands, her body crusted with dried blood, her own and Walker's sap, as Project Stem flew away into the clouds, which were beginning to churn into a vortex of a storm, black and rumbling and twisting and raging. It was a mirror into her recent past.
Making sure that the bio-android had vanished, the saiyan warrior whirls away, her ki blasting her away just as the first thunder clap roars itself into existence. She rises through the rain cloud, letting the torrent of bursting water wash away her stains, feeling the need for purity, moments before Maeve's message reaches her ears. Her immediate response is to frown. Despite her best attempts at remaining hidden, her clash with Walker had revealed her presence to those truly attuned to the energy fluctuations of the planet. She had revealed her presence with the releases of her attacks. She might still be hidden from most, but to those watching, she would be known.
The voice fills her mind, but Zucceta could detect no hostility within it. Perhaps some disdain, some pain, some want of understanding, but no intent to see her dead on the ground. It could be possible that its sender was hiding her true emotions, a very true possibility. The queen didn't recognise the voice, but if it was capable of finding her and imprinting certain directions within her, she had a potency that the queen shouldn't ignore, especially as claimant to Bing Gan's title.
Perhaps this could make her mission easier.
The queen feels the pull of the message, and flies, as the thunderstorm blasts around her.
The ex-mercenary lands in front of the building atop the Lookout. She had blinked several times on approach; she could detect no obvious energy sources that allowed such a mass to hang freely in the sky, but there it was. Her coal hues glance around the Lookout; asides from the energy signature which had called her, she could detect no other. That didn't necessarily mean they weren't hidden in wait.
The queen herself was continuing to suppress her power level to a visible 5 units, although she had assumed her normal Super Saiyan state, just in case of an ambush.
"Reveal yourself, new god." |

With the soft clacking of claws upon the ivory tile: the demoness would make her presence known as she approached the queen from behind. She stopped a few feet behind the queen and closed the gap between them with her stare. There she stood, concealed in a purple cloak with the sun at her back and the cool breeze in her ruby hair. For a moment she just let her gaze linger on the form of Lady Death with the faintest hints of a frown crossed upon her lips.
"God is such a hefty title, one that I still don't know if I can bear..." She began, finally breaking her gaze as she began to move. "I hold many titles: Swordswoman of Fire, Countess of the Rakshasa..." The dragoness stopped just as she was passing Zucceta and looked straight into the cerulean eyes brought about by her golden transformation. For a moment: a flicker of pain would flash in her golden gaze.
"...Fiance to Bing Gan."
She let the air hang with her revelation and stayed silent. Her eyes steeled as she took her first step into the building. "Some are merely decorative or sentimental while others hold power and garner respect. Kami is one that has so much responsibility that it makes the others feel like a joke. Though I'm sure as queen of your own empire you're well aware of the feeling." She said speaking honestly as she looked back to face her once more. "Perhaps even more so, seeing as you have not only your world but the others allied with you to protect." Though her inflection didn't change it was clear that despite her pain there was almost a sense of respect lining her words.
"Come. I have a place where we won't be disturbed."
She turned as she made her way into the building. Just where was she leading the titan of a queen?

The queen raises an eyebrow. "When one has the chance to choose such a title, they ought to grasp it to their chest, or else someone else will squirm and take it."
A second eyebrow is raised at the revelation that this woman was Bing's fiance. To her memory, the cyborg had yet to mention her, perhaps in the hopes that Zucceta would leave her be.
With no further words, the queen follows the demon inside the Lookout. |

The soft clacks of claws continued to fill the air as the God walked with the Queen to the center of the lookout. The shaded archway eventually lead to heavy wooden door which opened to reveal a winding staircase. Maeve glanced back to the saiyaness as if to make sure she was still following her before making her descent into the heart of the lookout. At each floor the queen would be able to catch a glance at the different rooms the lookout had to offer. Such as: the expansive library, a grand kitchen, comfy looking living areas, and a training pavilion of sorts. It had seemed that the role of guardian came with a few perks.
After a few more flights of stairs the demoness would step out into a shadowy corridor. "It's just through here...From what I've studied the room at the end of this hall has some mystical properties. There, the past, present, and future are mixed. It's almost as if the room is a realm between realms. Once inside no one will be able to reach us. We'll be safe from interruption." She explained as she walked through the dimly lit corridor only to stop at the end.
"Here we are..."
A towering pair of doors with ornate designs carved all along them stood in their way. Maeve grasped both of the golden handles and pulled, the low groan of an old door rumbled around them as the room was slowly revealed. The ticking of a giant pendulum slowly swinging back and forth filled the air as the otherworldly glow of purple and pinks lit the strange room. It seemed mostly empty save for the pendulum and the glowing runes etched into the ground. Maeve took her first step into the room causing the glowing runes beneath her to pulse with a deep red glow. A glow that rippled with each step she took.
"This, is the Pendulum Room. Or, so I've been told." She explained as she stood in the center of said room. "I'm sure you can feel it, the air is heavy with magic from a time long passed. Within these walls we may freely project any point in history around us." Her gaze trailed all along the room before settling once more on the queen. "If you would join me, we may begin."

The queen allows herself to let out a low whistle between her teeth as she follows the new guardian throughout her watch-tower. "Not bad. Its more compact than the saiyan palace, but the palace doesn't hold much that stimulates the mind."
Maeve explained the nature of the Pendulum Room. Zucceta raised an eyebrow at the description, but it wasn't until she entered through the ancient, colossal doors that the mystical atmosphere of the room reminded her of a recent "dream". "Do you know if a saiyan named Toma has used this room recently?" The queen asks, bluntly. When she had been meditating in the crystal caves of Planet Tao, her "master" there had told her that the caves amplified magic, and she had dreamed of a fight with Toma. She had been weakened, and during that dream she had acted with only the memory of recently becoming Queen, and a Super Saiyan, for the first time.
The pink hue of the room fell on her body like mystical neon as the saiyan warrior closes her eyes, listening to the lull of the Pendulum, the tick-tock hypnotic in its rhythm. She opens them again, and focuses her dark coal pupils on Maeve's own gaze. "Very well, Kami. Do what you will." |

Maeve shifted her stance. Despite the heavy cloak: her draconic feet were plainly visible and positioned in a way that was more suited for a dancer than a fighter or a god. She let out a soft exhale as she cleared her mind. The echo of the pendulum clicking back and forth started to fade as the runic tiles began to fluctuate with their glow. After a few moments the room would distort and change. The great pendulum would swing once more before turning to sand only to be whisked away by a sudden breeze. The ground beneath them would also transform into a sea of sand. Before they could sink in to the earthen abyss: a bright flash would overtake the room and the duo would find themselves somewhere else entirely. They stood atop a platform composed of glass tiles floating in the darkness of space. Galaxies, multicolored nebula and the infant stars that dotted the heavens were clustered all around the two warriors creating an impossible display of light and color. Maeve took a step forward creating, much like before, a ripple of light within the platform. It was as if she were stepping into a pond of still water and every movement she made disrupted it with a different colored ripple. "If Toma used this room he clearly never used it to it's full potential." She joked, imagining the foolhardy saiyan used it in a way to challenge some foe from a time unknown. "This place is the beginning. We are surrounded by the elements that will form the very composition of your realm." She said watching the stars glisten in the distance. A soft smile creased her lips as she returned her gaze to the queen. "I often come here to meditate, the very scale of this place puts some much needed perspective in my life. I assume this could be a suitable place to talk." She said giving a bow of her head. "Though, if you would prefer..." A gilded cutlass suitable for a queen materialized before Zucceta. "...We can introduce ourselves with a spar. I find locking blades with someone provides more insight than words might offer."

The queen refuses to wince against the flash of light, as hundreds of thousands of epochs of time happen in the split of a second, the universe born. Spiral constellations, hundreds of billions of trillions of stars, flash past her face. Zucceta can't help but allow herself to smile with almost childish wonderment. She peers around the place, and for a moment all of her angst was lost in a vast, expanding universe, flashes of different lights exploding across her sight. It was truly dizzying, as a galactic "wind" blasted the two warriors, the queen's hair rippling like grass in the flashing purples and oranges of the current atomic epoch, still in the first thirty seconds of its expansion.
The warrior manages to drag herself out of her wonder to return her gaze to Maeve. She allows for her own smile to continue, resisting her defensive instincts. "Colour me impressed."
When the blade appears in front of her, the queen nods and takes it at the hilt. It glistens in the light of the galaxies twisting around the two women, as if made from the stuff of gods. Clearly, all was an illusion, although one with an origin in reality. If Toma had used it to fight her in a weird "dream" world, for instance, it must have some basis truth. As she grasps the handle, it seems to surge with her white ki, an aura dancing around the saber. "It wouldn't be the first time I've handled a blade, although I usually generate my own. Are you certain you wish to fight me?" Zucceta finds herself purring, the prospect of a fight even now intoxicating her. |

"Just a spar." Maeve corrected as she summoned her great cleaver: Fateburn into her hand. She rolled her blade a bit in a fanciful flourish before pointing it toward the Golden God. "Despite the inherent dangers that I may face... We are safe to duel as we please." The kami-to-be spoke as she undid her heavy cloak to reveal herself to her foe. The first thing that would be readily noticed was the bump in her stomach. It was undeniable that she was with child and from the general size of it she was about at the half way point in her term. Still despite that, Maeve held her blade steady. "For clarifications sake...Our bodies remain in the pendulum room. Here we can test each other without restriction." Maeve's golden eyes slowly closed as her dark aura began to swirl around her form causing her power to spike. The demoness' golden eyes began to glow as lines of black and red electricity would snake around her form and lash out into the abyss surrounding them. A storm of power would explode from her form creating a blood red star high above them. With a dark pulse Maeve would activate her true strength. The Strength of a Demonic Countess. Maeve would step forward, confidence and power radiating from her form as her great blade suddenly sparked and burned with a crimson flame. "Let this be the perfect duel."

Zucceta's eyes flutter down to Maeve's belly, then back to her face. "So, you're certain you can come to no harm?" The queen asks, an uncharacteristic note of concern hidden in her cynicism. Another wave of guilt washed over her after the initial motherly worry--in using Bing, she was keeping him away from his soon-to-be-wife and soon-to-be-child. Her fist tightens its grip on the blade, her knuckles pressing white against her skin.
"Well, if you insist."
As spiral galaxies spin past her face, Zucceta moves forwards, swiftly hopping between galaxy to galaxy like a stone from a stone. Her sword glows vibrantly as she raises the sabre into the air, before swiping the cutlass down towards Maeve's chest from the right. The queen had initiated combat. She had yet to transform or show her full potential as Maeve did, for she wanted to test the demon's abilities first. |

A thunderous clang echoed out through young galaxies as metal met metal in the first blade lock of the duel. As the queen made her arc Maeve had countered it with her own, creating a clash with enough force to disburse the nebula around them into a cosmic cocktail of glittering colors. Sparks sprayed between them as the metal scraped against metal in a standstill of power. "I'm not sure...If I can ever forgive you for what you've done..." Maeve looked up slowly, her demonic eyes narrowing to slits as she took a step forward and began pushing back. A furious blaze of her ever growing spirit reignited around her blade as she forced the link apart. As the blades sung with the stars the demoness closed the newfound gap by dipping in with her counterattack. As she moved, stray stardust seemed to gravitate towards and swirl around her fiery blade as if it were drawn to her power. Her clawed toes dug into the invisible tile creating a series of ripples beneath her feet as she steadied herself. With a roar, the demoness would shift her forward momentum into an upward sweep of her sword. At it's peak she unleashed the energy sending it like a mighty wave of ki toward's her foe."FIERCE DEMON FANG!"It was clear that the demoness had a test of her own. She would hold nothing back and see how she withstood and how she would respond.

Zucceta's sabre clashes with Maeve's and rogue stars shoot around the two as a galaxy disperses from the impact. The queen finds herself smiling without warmth. "I don't need your forgiveness. Just a chance."
The demon's ki surged and the queen is forced back, her mouth drawn into a grimace even as her heart beat fast with excitement. Her eyes widen as the spark ignites and the wave of ki is released at point-blank. She has a split second to react--
The saiyan warrior's hair surges with regal colour as the wave moves through a blurring image of her form.
She appears behind the demoness, her back to Maeve's, golden aura flowing. The transformation to the first level of Super Saiyan was more instinctive than conscious, given its level of mastery, and it had saved her skin.
"Not bad," she purrs.

"You will get your chance Golden Queen..." Maeve said, holding up her great cleaver so she may look upon Zucceta's reflection intermixed with the stars around them on the surface of the dark blade. She clenched Fateburn's hilt as she picked her words carefully. A soft crease of a frown steadily began to grow on her lips as as she shut her eyes for a beat. "Despite everything you have done to threaten and harm me and this place I call home..." Her eyes shot open as she readied her blade once more. "I refuse to let myself hate you." Maeve spoke with power, control, and determination as she suddenly whipped around. Using the momentum of her turn to behind her swing Maeve would attempt to strike the queen with a wide horizontal cleave. She had felt the sudden swell of power yet it only urged her to push on. Seeing the intrigue glittering in the saiyaness' eyes however urged her to smile ever so slightly herself.

The two titans clashed at the dawn of time. Each crash of metal set galaxies on their path, each splash of blood swirled out into a scarlet nebula, and each furious cry echoed out through the eons. The singing blades continued to meet over and over again as the two goddesses threw everything at each other.
Some say that you can learn anything and everything from a person after you lock blades with them on the battlefield. They say that destiny and the fires of war connect and bind souls. In those blinding instances of metal locking against metal and each fighter continuously met in the heart of the brave new universe. It was in those moments, that Maeve got her answers she sought from the golden queen. When their eyes met stories were shared wordlessly and Zucceta's intentions and motivations became clear. It was then that Maeve could let go of the hatred in her heart.
She may not have been able to forgive her, but the darkness Zucceta's actions hoisted upon her soul dissipated by the end of their duel.
