Random Portals Arc - Invited

After the fighting was over and done with, Ryugan had arrived beside the namekian to see if he was alright. Its not like he could die in a place like this, Ryugan and his crew had to worry more about that than he did. Then the namekian had search one of the hooded figures pockets and behold, a map that showed the caves and what appeared to be a weapon of some kind. Aoi was quick to closely analyze it further, Ryugan took notice as he had his arms folded across his chest.

"Written instructions like this were common in the Arcosian Empire. Specially given to low level grunts during missions to help guide them. When communications from scouters needed to be turned off due to hackers wanting to hack and listen into the enemy scouters to get the vantage point on where the enemy was. Papers like this was the best way of communicating so that the enemy didn't know where to go. Yes sure, you have those beings out there that can track ki signatures, but armies have prepared for things like that, which is why ki jammers were invented so that users could wear them and make sure that their ki signature couldn't be tracked. Its a highly costed item to have but it got the job done if you were planning to enter enemy territory and didn't want them to know."

Ryugan had stepped in, being more curious on what Aoi was talking about.

"And this is why you are the brains of all this. So tell us what do you think they plan to do?"

"Well based off the unlikely circumstances that both factions would come together for a common goal, I would assume that either one, they are working together as well in trying to escape this place in order to go to the after life or two, they are planning to build a weapon device of some kind... For what for I don't know... but base off this whole map pattern, traveling through the caves would be our best bet..."

About that time, the entire group would form ki energy through there hands that acted like a source of light to light up the entire cave so that they wouldn't walk into any traps. Razer would chip in and look at the namekian.

"What do you think we should do?"

Razer had a feeling that the namekian had more experience given his overall strength, even if it wasn't military experience like Aoi had.

Aoi had his hand to his chin as he began to think about what the namekian had to say. The first part he had stated that involved Ticoga, Aoi had replied back to it.

"Even if he was able to do this. It just wouldn't make sense or rather wouldn't it bring more conflict? After all, we understand that there are powerful beings in the galaxy. Wouldn't the people who run this place and decide our fate intervene and put a stop to it before they would be able to break free?"

Then again, the fact that known of them have came and spoke with them arriving is rather odd as well. Perhaps they didn't have the means to sense where everyone is at any given time, nor it didn't seem like they could detect living entities as well.

Then the next part of his speech had only open Aoi's eyes, along with the rest of his team. The fact that there were these candles that helped people guide them towards the after life.

As the namekian took the lead, they followed him. Coming across a thin bridge that only one person would be able to go through. Each of them did just that and Tech being the last one to cross the bridge and making it to the other side. Ryugan just kept quiet and wanted to see what could possibly happen and what weapon would they uncover...

It seemed like there were these beings called ogres and they didn't like pleasant at all, they sounded like monsters. As he was telling them how others have slipped by in the past, including himself. Ryugan started to think just how unorganized even the Afterlife could be. It was a strange concept to try to grasp but, it was indeed entirely not what he had expected at all on how the afterlife would be. As they were advancing forward, the namekian spoke about how it could be the opening that was just ahead of them. The ground started to shake and now Ryugan and his team froze in their tracks as Ryugan began to speak to them. Other planets were easy to grasp when it came to technology, one could get the entire layout of the world and know what plants are poisoness and what the atmosphere was like. The afterlife was completely different and Tech couldn't help them in this situation that they were in. Ryugan had no choice but to improvise.


"Aoi, Razer, get that opening up even wider to see what we are dealing with."

Both Aoi and Razer began firing upon the opening, breaking away more of the wall so they could get a clear visual on what was further inside it. The cave appeared more brighter as the opening had happened however with the smoke slowly fading away, they had no idea what was to come...

Ryugan saw the fear on tech’s face as the Queen was a big sized worm. He had briefly kneeled down and stared up at Tech.

“You aren’t scared of that worm right?”

Tech staring at Ryugan.

“What gave you that impression?”

Ryugan lightly tapped his back.

“I know my comrades.”

Ryugan hurling Tech straight to the Queen worm. Ryugan then vanishing from his position, blurring past Tech and into the mouth of the Queen. His entire body growing in size and a red aura blasting all around within the worm itself. The large explosion was big enough to injury the worms body from the inside, while Aoi and Razer was able to further damage the worm from the outside with their pistol and giant shuriken. Joker was busy using his poison cloud techniques against the smaller worms.

After the queen worm had now exploded from Ryugans attack in the end, the entire area was covered in blood and now it was raining it.

“You trusted me Tech. You didn’t even bother moving out of the way when I threw you. You all know the lengths I have gone for you all.”

Ryugan had one time sacrifice his left eye in order to save his team. They knew his loyalty.

After the namekian had examine the worm, he had found a piece of metal from within. Perhaps it ate the weapon or perhaps it was the weapon... There was no telling what it was to be exact. As the namekian stated that if they wanted to go back to the surface and out of the cave, they all agreed with a nod. Now all of them flying out of the cave, it all seemed like they had gotten nowhere due to being in the cave system and not really focusing on where the portals were at. Not like they had an ultimate guide on where to find portals. But it seemed like the task of finding the portals would be proven to be more difficult than they had original thought. As they made it to the great outdoors once again where light was present. It seemed like another situation was coming however this time it seemed like it was far from over.


Just ahead of them was what appeared to be a concrete slab platform which looked to be constructed. Upon further investigating its entire layout, it seemed to be more like a ritual temple. Six pillars stood all around this semi circle like structure. One gigantic individual stood next to the pillars and wearing a black hood robe with the hoodie down. A demon with fairly blue skin and a heavy burnt scar across his left side of the face. He seemed like he was chanting something just underneath his breath. Whatever he was chanting... made the semi circle begin to glow a yellow color, almost like he was summoning something from it. Just what the hell was he doing. Ryugan looked to the namekian for guidance.

"Just what the hell is going on..."

Ryugan couldn't register the demon's power level... he could only hope that the namekian had more strength to deal with him.

The blue demon humanoid spoke in a deep and harsh tone that made him sound distinct. Both his hands were now covered in a purple aura as he started to summon the vex demi God Orock.

"I am here to summon the demi God Orock. Casted long ago from the shinjins and embraced by the demons. He wanted to rule the Afterlife eons ago but the shinjins wouldn't allow it. He believed that the demon era should prevail over the realm. Some demons are present in the mortal realm and whether they side with the demon era rising or not is up to them. But the demons will come and Demi God Orock shall reign supreme over the cosmos!"

Ryugan and his crew had listen to what this demon was saying and none of it they cared for. But they weren't going to allow some demon era or whatever reign over the mortal realm. Ryugan speaking to his crew with a stern voice.

"We won't allow that, lets take him down!"

All of them flew towards the blue demon, minus Tech because he isn't strong enough. Before they could reach him, the cyan portal had opened and the Orock God was now 50% from being summoned into the realm. With the first of the six pillars being lit with a red flame. The blue demon quickly firing in a quick barrage of ki beams straight at the four people that were coming towards him. Ryugan was hit, flying straight to a nearby boulder and laying there helplessly. Razer being hit in the back and flying straight into a nearby river and floating there. Aoi was hit on his side, flying straight to nearby trees. Finally, Joker was hit in his stomach, being sent straight to the ground and laying in a crater yamacha style. 

"You fools are a joke!"

As the ground began to shake from the power that Orock was channeling through his hands. All five of Ryugan’s team began to fall into the pits that were created because of it. As they were falling down, portals began to form beneath them and all of them entering. All of them showing up fairly close to each other and at the city where they were originally going to go for some drinks. As they slowly began to wake up one by one, Ryugan scratch his head and started to look around. The people didn’t have halos and the namekian man or the Orock God was nowhere to be found. Were they dreaming? Ryugan had thought about it as he walked over to the group.

“Hey do you guys remember fighting a God named Orock in the afterlife and we were helping a namekian?”

They all nodded in agreement. After no clue how they even came back in the first place. Ryugan looking over to his men.

“Let’s go get a drink..”

All of them began walking to the nearest bar. Ryugan ordered his beers, Razer ordered his rum, Aoi ordered his whisky, Joker ordered his vodka, and tech ordered his premium oil.
