Namekian Artifact

Cyril's ship dropped them all off.

"It's so pretty here." remarked Emily.

Rick looked around, at the trees and the grass, and the sky, "Isn't this where the Lorax lives?"

Sarah sighed. "I don't like this planet. How are we ever going to find anything here." She started looking through his notes. "This is going to suck..."

Zeras and Makoto were currently arguing about nothing.

Elucidia walked over to Sarah. "So any ideas?"

Cyril reminisced about old times. "Hey Makoto, remember when you almost destroyed this entire planet?"

Emily shuffled away from Makoto.

Rick choked in surprise, "What?!"

Zeras began laughing. "Almost? Your pathetic." The Makoto of this universe growled angrily. "Fuck you! I'll destroy the damn thing right now!!"

Sarah looked horrified. "S-stop!!! We need this planet alive!"

Cyril snorted at Zeras' and Makoto's bickering.

"So where do we need to go, Sarah?" Emily asked.

Rick whistled. For some reason, everyone around them began screaming in agony.

Sarah started walking. "This way I think..."

Zeras stretched. "You guys don't know how lucky you are."

Cyril and Emily followed Sarah. "What do you mean, Zeras?" Emily asked, not feeling too lucky about suddenly being involved in an inter-dimensional slaughter.

Rick tried to make sense of that statement, "Are we back in the U.S.S.R.?"

Zeras suddenly stopped. "Your lucky that I wasn't at full strength. I had gotten into a pretty heavy fight before I attacked you lot. I was only at half power when we fought."

Cyril looked grim. "Are the rest stronger than you, Zeras?"

Rick knew the answer.

Zeras shook his head. "No. There is one weaker. Yaori is the strongest, then Garuda, Cironos, Me, and then Xiron."

"I don't suppose you can give us exact levels of power?" Cyril asked.

Emily already knew the answer to this, but figured she would ask anyway. "And of course the Emperor is strongest?"

Rick decided to ask, "What colors?"

Zeras shook his head. "I can say that the man who attacked me, t the time he had about the same power of Cironos. That's about all I know." He then looked at Emily. "Nooooo..... I'm
Totally not being sarcastic."

Emily shrugged, "Just figured I'd ask. Leaders aren't necessarily strongest in their group."

Cyril sighed.

Rick had a legitame question, "Any chance that they're alternate reality versions of us?"

Zeras looked at the human. "You? Not likely. Your and the bio tuffle are too weak. The Seraph has a good chance. And maybe," motioning to Makoto. "Our only son."

Cyril patted Emily and Rick, "Don't feel bad. You definitely have counter parts- just not ones that have been trained and are worth anything. So you're special!" Cyril comforted them.

Emily pursed her lips. "Who's your son, Makoto?"

Rick did the anime fall over thing.

Zeras spoke, "Ryuga." Makoto tilted his head. "What about Riza?" "Who?" Makoto growled, "Riza! My son!" Zeras started to look worried. "That...isn't possible.."

"Parallel universes. Not only is that possible- it's expected. Who is Riza in your universe?" Cyril asked impatiently.
