The Uncivilized Grey Skies
At the Shi Universe, Corvin appears before Zenaku as he was making plans for the upcoming tournament.
Corvin: Zenaku, I need to ask you a favor.
Zenaku: Sure, what is it?
Corvin: Do you remember that you and Shi wanted to restore my youth and I declined?
Zenaku: Yeah.
Corvin: Can you create four youth potions?
Zenaku: Sure, but why four?
Corvin: It's a surprise.
Zenaku stares at Corvin and starts to make the youth potions.
Corvin: So I kinda need your advice on something.
Zenaku: Sure, what's on your mind?
Corvin: Me and my old friend are catching up with each other and I don't want to mess it up with her.
Zenaku: *in his mind* Her? Wait, Corvin, the most lethal strategist and one of the strongest sage, asks me about relationship advice?!
Corvin: Uh Zenaku, you kinda look like you saw a ghost.
Zenaku: *clears his throat* Right, I will tell you to not be like me when I have Shi.
Corvin: So not trying to become an insane swordsman that caused a powerful war because his family jumped him and his wife got the worst head game.
Zenaku: Damn, you don't need to be accurate and hurtful to others Gandolf!
Corvin: Fine, but she can be deadly and fast with using weapons and magic.
Zenaku: Okay, just take her to a scenic route and try to talk to each other about the past or the present. After that, just try to have fun.
Corvin smiles at him and teleported to another universe. Suddenly, Malia approaches Corvin with a worried expression as the storm is approaching.
Malia: Corvin, Gou is on the move and he's launching an assault at a nearby city. I've contacted Nadyax to help us out and cover us to get close to Gou.
Corvin: Malia, I want to confront Gou alone and I want you and Nadyax to protect the citizens. I'll be back safely.
Corvin hugs Malia and walk towards the courtyard of the fortress until an arrow whacked into his right shoulder. Staggering a little bit and grimacing in pain, Corvin spots a group of armed guards in black cloaks and an elderly male Saiyan. After pulling the arrow's shaft out of his shoulder, Corvin snaps it and throws it aside. Suddenly, hundreds and more armed guards, halberds and swords ready, line up with their general.
Gou: Corvin Hitomu, the Grey Sage that fought against two powerful empires with a band of pathetic Gods.
Corvin: Gou Hitomu, the cowardly Saiyan that killed almost his own clan.
Corvin stepped back, ready for them as they poured down to the ground he stood on, fanning out to surround him, keeping the length of their halberds between themselves and the Grey Sage.
Corvin: Since you won't come down here and face me, I'll show you what I'm capable of.
Corvin shocks one of the soldiers with lightning and launches him in the air with a swift kick to the chin. Then, the armed guards started digging at him from all sides with their weapons, trying to bring Corvin to his knees. The Grey Sage punches one of the guards in the neck and disarms the halberds away from them until he buried the axeblade in the chest of its former owner. The guard went down with a howl as more armed guards started to close in on Corvin. The Grey Sage pulls out two shortsword and slashes many guards in the field as more guards were streaming down from the fortress. Corvin was casting fire, lightning, and water spells at his enemies until he was caught off balance. Above the Grey Sage, the circle of soldiers closed in, keeping the length of their halberds between themselves and Corvin until Gou appears before Corvin's eyes.
Gou: With all of your efforts, Lord Mohan can defeat all of Zaydons.
Soldier #1: General, we have a strong problem with that Multiverse device.
Gou: Explain.
Soldier #1: It's been limited to three places: Here, a timeline with a different "Zaydon", and a timeline with two Zaydons.
Gou: We'll discuss it later. Take Corvin to his cell.
The armed guards pulled Corvin to his feet and quickly bound him fast. As Corvin was getting dragged into his cell inside of the fortress, he sees that the guards have started to fall unconscious until he sees Malia carrying a large bag of sleeping darts.
Malia: Let's make sure that everyone is asleep and get them all to talk.
Corvin: Okay.
Corvin and Malia were throwing sleeping darts at every guard in the fortress until they spot Gou leaving the fortress.
Gou: So tell me about those "Zaydons" that makes this Zaydon different.
Guard #1: You see in one timeline, the two Zaydons are father and son, and they are capable of protecting the people of Universe 7. In the other timeline, this Zaydon may look weak, but he's extremely dangerous and pulled many heists with a powerful gang.
Gou: Fine then, the lieutenants will take care of them.
Guard #2: General Gou, I don't mean to alarm you, but Corvin and the Grey Priestess have found us.
Gou turn towards the fortress and sees Corvin and Malia running towards him.
Gou: Everyone, retreat!
Gou and his guards started to fly away from the Hitomu duo.
Guard #2: They're behind us!
Gou: Faster! Faster, I say!
Malia shoots ki blast at the guards as Corvin is getting closer to Gou. Suddenly, Corvin begins to slow down as he has an idea. As the guards and General Gou lose sight of Corvin and Malia, they started land on top of the tower to catch their breath.
Gou: Alright, we should be able to lay low and contact the others about the Grey Sage and the Grey Priestess chasing us.
Suddenly, the guards have dropped on their knees and fell asleep as Gou starts to panic.
Corvin: Tell me about your boss, Lord Mohan.
Gou: Like I'll tell you two anything.
Corvin begins to drink the youth potion that Zenaku created and hands the potion to Malia. Malia drinks the potion and realizes that she is getting younger like Corvin.
Corvin: It's alright, you don't have to tell me anything. Your soul will!
Corvin grabbed Gou's soul and sees everything until he stares down at him coldly.
Corvin: You destroyed our home, killed our leader, and made the clan to exile me because you wanted to create a better world for our clan. Do you not know how many years of isolation that I've endured?
Suddenly, Corvin's hair turns to yellow and was about to charge his attack until Malia stops him.
Malia: Think about Zaydon and his loved ones. They don't want you to get hurt and see blood from your fight.
Corvin: …You're right. Let's go ahead and bring him and his soldiers to Lady Belle.
