Chapter 34: Truth be told.~



When the next morning hit, Caressla had come by to pick her up during that morning. She informed Whis first, that she was going to train Akasma and didn't want him to worry. So after eating breakfast, they waited a bit and went straight to the training site. The Queen and the pallid Aeronan were seen walking down one of the halls in the castle. Caressla in the lead while Akasma remained trailing behind her, the Queen surely seemed satisfied that she got to have a pupil.


They passed tall pillars that seemed to be connected to a roof above them, with many foreign-looking vines curling around the vertical structures. Akasma was in her rogue attire, gazing up at the beautiful Queen, and was rather excited to see how she fights. She tilted her head to one side in contemplation, thinking of how good a master of elements would be. "C-...Caressla?" she asked in a hesitant breath, feeling rather awkward to speak her first name without using the title Queen.


"Yes, sweetie?" the Queen questioned with her gaze never leaving the path before her. She remained in her usual dress and wasn't wearing any training clothing or any kind of combat attire.


"W-What...how...do you know...a-about t-the t-transformation...?" she stuttered, looked down at her feet, and shyly blushed. She began to fiddle with the tendril that dangled behind her with clear nervousness written on her features.


"When an Aeronan masters all the elements, they gain the ability to transform. It is rare to obtain such a power-up because we Aeronans hardly fight or cause any ounce of violence that would disturb the peace in our lifestyle. The reason we lack crime and the like is due to the security I provide for our planet. With the force shield, I have created all around our planet, it hides the ki that other ki warriors could sense from light-years away. With how many Aeronans there are and how natural we are with Ki, we could be sensed from long distances through space. This shield, it will prevent any ki warrior who has ill intentions, from coming here and disturbing our peace," Explained the Queen, making Akasma's eyes twinkle in awe at how amazing she was.


Can a master, really make such a giant force shield? Akasma mentally questioned and continued with her stare. They soon came into a room full of...not...nothing but white with thin streams of colors zipping by softly, it looked similar to the hyperbolic time chamber...only it lacked a resting station. Pure white floors and it looked like there was no end to the pure white surroundings.


"This place here, I used to train in a lot. It is a simple training room that is indestructible to any kind of power that a being may possess. It is the perfect place to train you Akasma.~" she stopped in her pace, turned to face her, and smiled sweetly down to her. Apparently, the girl didn't notice a servant Aeronan following them, with an interesting-looking spear in their hands. "Please, my weapon," she politely demanded with a kind smile and made the servant blush.


The servant was male, so he hesitantly made his way over. It was obvious how uneasy he felt around her, not because of her being a Queen but...because of how gorgeous and kind she was. "Thank you, for carrying my weapon and escorting us here. You may take the day off and rest till your heart is content," she rewarded him of his small efforts, took the spear into her own grasp, and held it up with one hand. The end of the pole touched the floor and the spearhead pointed upward. Seeing the male bow and take a quick glance at Akasma, his face went beet-red and his eyes widened.


"M-Miss...may I know your name?" he nervously asked with a friendly smile and a huge flush on his cheeks.


"M-M-My name?" Akasma hesitantly asked, stepped back, and was so eager to hide behind Caressla when the said Queen herself, rose a hand for reassurance.


"It's alright, there is no need for you to be nervous. He is a worthy servant and is very respectful, so if you wish to not answer then it is fine.~" She smiled at her and looked over to the male. Akasma had nodded and fidgeted in her place with her eyes looking off to the side.


"Eheheheh, well...she's...rather cute," The male laughed nervously, still having that red face, and closed his eyes with a big smile. "Well, goodbye Queen Caressla!" Speaking happily, he hesitated to take his steps backward, but still dashed for the exit with a much deeper red face. Even though he knew her name from overhearing Caressla, he wanted a proper introduction.


Now, come, Akasma," Caressla demanded, stepped back a bit, and placed a hand gently on her chest. She shut her eyes with a content smile and the next thing the girl knew a flash of light blue appeared around her torso and head.


The flash was instant and right after it left, it showed icy-looking armor on her chest, shoulders, and head. The helmet looked intriguing; it covered her eyes, came to a point over her nose, and had four long spikes sticking up over the top of her head. The back of her head was visible, showing her long and graceful locks. Only her light silver lips were visible since the helmet didn't cover her lower face. The icy-chest plate stopped just under her bust, the shoulder plates had tiny spikes sticking out to the sides and all the ice on the armor glossed from the surrounding light. Her very dress was stuck underneath the chest and shoulder plates, appearing almost frosted from how cold the ice was. "Shall we begin?" she added with a sweet smile and sprouted out her ki wings with that same beautiful sound they'd make.


"Y-Yes!" Akasma instantly answered and kept her eyes on the Queen with no weapon out...


Caressla disappeared in a flash, the sound of a straight, high-pitched whistle occurred and astounded the pallid Aeronan. She has never heard of a mastered Whistling Wind technique sounding so different like that before. She lost track of where she went and when she looked up, she was seen hovering there....with her spear to her side. Akasma's eyes widened in shock, pupils shrunk, and was too dumbfounded at how fast she was. It was literally an instant, a flash, a snap of the fingers and she was already over there... It almost looked like some sort of teleportation....even though she knew that wasn't true.


"Tell me, which ki weapon will you use? I wish to train your speed of fazing your ki beads from your body, it will not be an easy task to do, mind you," questioned the Queen as she chuckled and watched the pallid rogue frantically search for her bow.


Nervousness was evident in her actions, though when she found that it was on her back and grasped it in her hold, she sighed in relief. She pulled a pink ki arrow back, aimed it at the queen, and had a focused look in her eyes. "I wish to use my k-ki arrows!" she rose her voice so the Queen could hear.


"Very well. Now, prepare yourself... When I go to lunge at you, you must try to form your arrow in time before I reach you. I will go easy on you, I do not wish for you to be overwhelmed by my speed." she warned, paused, and floated there with contemplation on her features. "Do tell, what other ki forms have you mastered?" She asked.


"W-Well...I can...f-form...k-kunai..." she blushed, looked away, and narrowed her eyes.


"Alright, for now, I will train your ki bead forming speed on your arrows. Then, when you have mastered that speed, we will begin with your kunai. Let us begin," replying, her smile dropped. Exactly in a flash, that very straight, high-pitched whistle occurred and Akasma had gone to form her arrow. Unfortunately, she formed it too slow, because Caressla already had the tip of her spear point-blank in her face. "Again," That was all she said, before vanishing and reappearing back in the air.


Akasma dismissed her arrow and gripped onto her bow again, she breathed in and out to try to regain her composure. She was shocked, she didn't know how fast she really was. Nodding, she rose her bow and prepared to form another arrow. Again, they did it. She disappeared, reappeared before her in an instant, and had that same tip of her spear pointing directly at her forehead. Akasma had formed it too slow again...


"Focus, Akasma... If you fail, you must strengthen your focus even more. Accuracy and reaction is needed when you are a ranged fighter. Aim and focus are not the only significance in marksmanship," she explained, vanished and reappeared in the air again. "I heard from your father, of how much of a prodigy you were in his eyes. Would you ruin that opinion of your father's by not living up to that title's reputation?" she questioned, smiled, and watched the look of Akasma's eyes change from focused, to serious. She saw her shake her head and prepare another attempt to form an arrow. "Alright!" her voice rose and went in again.


They repeated that same method for a good hour and Akasma was so close to forming it before she got to her. It was a second too late, to form her ki arrow before the tip of the Queen's spear got to her face point-blank. With Caressla hovering before her, spear pointing to Akasma and her arrow aiming at the Queen, they both lowered their weapons. "Very good, you are progressing remarkably. No normal Aeronan can get that close within an hour of training. We are done, for now... Please, go rest and prepare for after dinner training," she spoke, dismissed her armor, and rested the end of her spear on the floor with the tip of it facing upward.


"T-Thank you, again!" Akasma bowed after returning the bow to her backside and dismissing her arrow.


"You are always welcome, Akasma. When we are done with this training, I will begin training your elemental ki beads, have you mastered any of them yet?" Caressla asked, tilted her head, and blinked curiously.


"Y-Yes! I have mastered....violet, yellow, light blue, green and a-almost red!" Akasma chirped happily and blushed with her eyes shut in glee.


"I see, well those are not true elements. Fire, water, ground, and wind/air, are the true elements that you must master. Then you must practice all of the sub-elements, which you have already mastered two of them; ice and electricity. I will discuss those other sub-elements, after you have mastered the main ones, alright?" she questioned, seeing the woman nod and make a cute sound of agreement. "I will see you soon, then," she added, walked towards the exit, and sensed the girl following her.


~~~Elsewhere~~~


Outside the Queen's castle, Aeronans wandered outside and chatted amongst themselves. Everything was so peaceful, so nice and happy until...the entire planet began to shake... Everyone screamed and looked around, trying to find the source of the occurrence. "UP THERE!" Some girl shouted and everyone looked up, there were...two gigantic meteors, each the size of a planet, rushing towards Fiijishara. Everyone began to panic, even more, causing the guards at the front gates to sweat and panic on the inside.


One of the guards at the gate rushed through the entrance and searched for the queen. "QUEEN CARESSLAAAA!" the grown male exclaimed, passing lord Beerus and Whis. "MY QUEEN, HELP!" he screamed out, popped out his ki wings and rushed even faster in search of her. "TWO METEORS ARE COMING INTO OUR ORBIIIIT! THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY OUR PLANET!" he shouted in fear, causing Whis and Beerus to become slightly alerted.


"Lord Beerus, seeing that this is Akasma's home planet...shall we take care of them?" he questioned, looked over to his pupil, and gazed upon his form.


"Nah, I want to see how good the Queen is," That was his simple answer, making the teal man squint his eyes at how unfair the cat was being.


The guard rushed past alerted people, watching as everything shook like mad. Seeing the Queen coming into view, she was heading outside and Akasma was right behind her. He stopped at her side, kneeled on one knee, and his eyes were wide from fear. "My queen, two planet-sized meteors are heading this way! OUR TRAINED WARRIORS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TAKE TWO OF THEM DOWN!" he panicked again at the last sentence, rose his head, and saw...a serious...look in her eyes. The look that rarely anyone would see, on her motherly and kind features. "M-My Queen?!" he exclaimed once again until he heard her answer with a strict and much deeper voice.


"Stay down, I shall take care of them... Akasma, stay here. I don't want you to assist, I will not need it," she said and walked out the doors that led outside from that very hallway. With her spear in hand, the doors led out to a spacious balcony and she stood right in the middle of it.


"C-Caressla, please! Allow me to help! I can't possibly let the Queen take care of such a-" Akasma was about to finish when she saw the Queen turn to look over her shoulder and glare strictly at her. She gulped and widened her eyes at the sight.


The Queen looked back up at the meteors, as they grew closer and closer by the minute. "Stand back, Akasma..." That was all she said, just to have the said girl do exactly that. Whis and Beerus were both rather interested in what was going to happen next. The teal man himself went up behind Akasma and pulled her back, wrapped an arm around her, and held her securely.


"This...is MY planet...and these, ARE MY PEOPLE! I SHALL PROTECT THEM WITH MY OWN STRENGTH!" she yelled out strongly, made her spear hover in front of her and she did...the same pose...as Eglantina. Rose her arms above her head, one foot forward and palms facing the sky. Much like the ballet stance, she swatted her arms downward in an outstretch but graceful manner and pushed her chest out with her head peering up at the sky.


Suddenly, pure white light engulfed her form. The scene spun around her body, showing all the multiple colors that shined brightly around the pure light and looked like a gorgeous ball of a rainbow. Inside the ball, her dress was flailing beautifully, her hair grew longer, lighter in color and many hair strands of different bright colors grew within her locks. Once the light ceased, she stood there and opened her eyes. The pupils had swirling bright rainbow colors in them. With that same ice armor being formed, the helmet was over her brightly glowing rainbow eyes and had the very colors of them light up the ice helm. She grabbed her spear, swatted it to the side, and prepared herself.

(:D It's her fight song! Well...more of a 'moment of action' song haha!) "Do not interfere, I beg you...all of you..." she spoke, popped out her ki wings and they were the same bright rainbow color!


Whis, Akasma and Beerus were intrigued only, Akasma was more stunned at the beauty and bright colors.


(Beginning drums part :D!) Caressla nodded to them after glancing their way, sprawled her wings out, and flew swiftly into the sky. She flew past the clouds, quickened her pace (Quickened drums part!) and vanished with that very high-pitched whistling, straight sound occurring.


She raced after those meteors and once she saw how close they were (Chorus! :D) she instantly formed a red blade over the pole and spearhead, basically coating the spear with ki to take the same shape.


(Quickened chorus part! :D) She appeared on top of the first meteor then blindingly she spun, like a saw and vanished. A long red line showed up on the meteor, then several more until the entire meteor was covered in red lines. She appeared afar from that cut-up meteor, pointed the tip of her spear at the planet and a giant force shield formed all around it. The meteor exploded and the moment it had, she vanished within an instant.


Reappearing on the other one and pierced the meteor with the spearhead; ice formed instantaneously, within the snap of a finger the ice-coated it and broke the meteor into floating pieces. She vanished all over the space, cutting up the smaller meteorites into pieces and countless beams of rainbow lit up the area. It was so fast, not even Beerus could keep up...and Whis a tiny bit, had a hard time doing so as well.


Once she stopped she twirled her spear around, the same with her body, and formed a giant orb at the tip of it. The giant orb was bright red, growing, and aimed at all the tinier pieces. With both hands grasped tightly on the pole, she shot out that ball of vigor. Once the sphere of red energy came in contact with the first tiny meteor piece, it exploded and covered the entire area where those two, use to be, planet sized meteors once hovered in. It was enormous and it didn't even look like she was exhausted... She turned to face Fiijishara, pointed her spear at it, and made the shield thicker so the planet wouldn't take the damage from the explosion. Once the destructive waves hit the shield, it ceased and so had the thicker layer of the formed shield.


She vanished from sight, appeared high above Akasma and the other two, then slowly made her way down. (Song ends here :D!)


Caressla dismissed her armor and transformation, making her hair and eyes go back to normal. "I did not wish to show you that...Akasma...forgive me... You did not need to see the truth about me, I understand that you are confused..." she spoke in a low voice, it was clear that she was upset about revealing her power.


"It's ok, C-Caressla!" she cheered, ran up to her, and happily smiled. Even though the death of her parents weighed heavily on her heart, she couldn't get over the fact that she just saw the Queen defend their own planet. She was astounded and so was Beerus, his eyes were wide and nearly speechless.


"Akasma...it's not ok..." Whis said, making the Aeronan turn to face him and blink her innocent turquoise eye. "What you have witnessed...don't you think it is odd, that a master of elements possesses such godly power? Yes, if trained right, Aeronans can have incredible power that can go beyond even a god of destruction... Caressla, I believe she has a right, to know now... Keeping things from her is not wise and I'm sure you already know why. As an Angel, I give you permission to reveal the secret to her and lord Beerus. I highly doubt either of the two would come and kill you," he permitted, smirked, and watched as the Queen's gaze widened in shock.


"I must not...if I do, I would be going against the word from the Grand Minister..." she said with concern forming on her face.


"Don't worry, I will inform him of who knows about your secret," Whis reassured, walked up to Akasma's backside and put his hands behind his back.


"Very well, Whis..." Caressla sighed and viewed the Aeronan, who had a look of expectation in her eyes. "I...am the Goddess of light elements...and before you question what I mean, I shall explain. A Goddess of light elements and a Goddess of dark elements, help maintain the power that is provided between gods of destruction and gods of creation. Through both god types, there are destructive elements and creative elements used in their power. Yes, their power is their own but we elemental Goddesses make sure that their power does not go out of hand, and yes, they may have Angels to keep their behaviors in check but... We Goddesses, are basically limitless batteries for them. If one god of creation or destruction holds too much power that they are not meant to hold, either me or the Goddess of dark elements shall cut our ki connection from them. If they lose their stamina or too much ki of their own, we are not responsible as that is natural for anyone," she explained all in one go, hoping to have answered all questions before they were asked.


Akasma was stunned and with her mouth masked no one could see how open her mouth was. "W-Wait...i-if you a-are the G-Goddess of light elements....are t-there more...of you?" she questioned, blinked with her widened eyes, and was intently staring.


"Of course not...there can only be one Goddess of light elements and one Goddess of dark elements, through the entire existence and universes. Many creatures that are familiar with ki, would come and try to kill us if they found out about our locations, who we are and what we are. Killing one of us will damage the balance in all the universes. Much like how if someone kept killing alternate versions of themselves, it will damage the balance in all universes too. Though, we Goddesses can have pupils...we just have to be careful as to whom we choose. Because, exposing our power as Goddesses is risky, even to our chosen pupils. Our pupils can never gain our power, due to the laws of existence... Though, we can train them and teach them how to overcome their limits. Only the Angels know about us, no one else knows...not even gods of destruction...or creation," the Queen explained and smiled sweetly at Akasma.


"Wow..." Akasma was dumbfounded, she's never known that, and she was shocked at the news. Though...the other news that she's soon to receive, will shock her more.


"Akasma...I have...personal matters, to inform you of as well," the Queen frowned as sorrow began to engulf her eyes. Seeing the said woman blink in confusion with knitted brows, Caressla shut her gaze and composed herself. "I...am also, your aunt... I am your mother's sister, that is why I was so personally hurt when I told you that my sister was killed... You would have been the Princess of this castle if your mother had taken the throne instead of me..." Informing her, she continued explaining everything. She told her about her father, her mother being of royal blood, and how she was related to her and her sister.


Everything was just as much a surprise, as when she was told about the whole Goddess ordeal. Akasma's turquoise pupils had shrunk at the news, she was so lost at hearing those words that she couldn't even notice the worry on the Queen's face. "Is that why...y-you were...s-so...a-attached...to me?" Shigiyuki questioned and moved her irises up to view her aunt.


"Yes...in my eyes, I see you as a daughter... You are my sister's child and I shall treat you as if you were my own since it's what my sister would have wanted. I do not expect you to call me mother...but do know, I will always be here for you and my castle is always open to you. You may call the castle your home if you wish... I will not force you to accept or do anything if you do not wish to. You are still considered a Princess though, that however cannot be avoided. Many may stop and stare at you, seeing that word would spread quickly...but again, I do not expect you to accept that fact... I will not force you to," she smiled sweetly again with wavering yellow eyes and a motherly look in her features.


"O-O...kay... Thank y-you, for telling m-me everything..." Akasma lowered her head and frowned from behind that mask of hers. Only to feel a hand gently caress the side of her cheek and make her jolt her head back up, to the Queen.


Caressla had caressed her cheek, still keeping that motherly look in her eyes. "You will be fine, sweetie," Those reassuring words made the girl smile from behind that mask, blush, and nod. "Now, go on. I believe Whis and lord Beerus is waiting for you," she added, just to hear another thank you from Akasma and saw her walk towards the doors. Whis and Beerus followed along, even though the feline's slits lingered on the Queen's form for a moment before entering the hall. He had a smirk on his face, some sort of interest had piqued him about Caressla and she sensed it.
