Chapter 129: Lunar Elipse Aftermath
POV Rio
It was a brutal battle but now came the side effects of puppeteering my body using the Force. I saw Tsunade run into the room. She looked exhausted. I was not looking forward to her finding out how bad my condition was. She used her Jutsus and then went pale.
Tsunade: "Oh my god! How are you alive?!"
Rio: "I am fueling myself with my pain and emotions to keep myself alive."
Tsunade: "But how!? All of your internal organs are destroyed except your brain. The only bone that is still intact is your horn. You are basically just a bag of flesh. By all my knowledge of medicine and healing you shouldn't be alive let alone be conscious or talking."
Rio: "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
Tsunade: "If I wasn't certain it would kill you I would smack you right now. Ugh. Neji, gather all our healers we need to work on him immediately. This is going to be a long night."
What followed was nearly a week straight of healing me to be stable enough to sleep allowing me to heal completely. During this time I was healed by Orochimaru, Tsunade, Neji, Lucario, Gardevoir, Sebas, Simon, Sunset, Tempest, Serana, Valerica, and Zelda. Each one does 7-hour shifts at least twice. Once I was stabilized I was able to release the technique and fell into a coma.
Rio: "Ugh. I feel like crap."
Tsunade: "Wow, you woke up. I was considering getting help from our magic users to ensure you weren't stuck in a dream."
Rio: "How long was I out?"
Tsunade: "9 days."
Rio: "What!?"
Tsunade: "It seems the technique you used to keep yourself alive put a lot of strain on your mind. You healed completely after 8 hours of rest but from what we could ascertain you were in a completely dreamless sleep."
Rio: "Is the seal holding?"
Tsunade: "Yep, but not sure how much longer that illusion is going to hold. So far the Socercers haven't found out but it is only a matter of time. From what Sendak explained that spell was never meant to cover an entire Moon. But it has been checked many times and he is certain it is holding but he has no idea for how long."
Rio: "200 to 1100 years give or take a century."
Tsunbade scowls at my answer.
Tsunade: "That is a massive range. How can you have any certainty it will hold at all."
Rio: "Well mostly that it hasn't broken yet. When I was designing it I didn't know for certain it would hold her as I don't know her actual strength. But since it is holding then I can give a rough calculation as to how long it will last. She is frozen in time. As the seal weakens she will slowly start to perceive time. I had to use some ridiculously powerful items to make the seal."
Tsunade: "So worst-case scenario we have 2 centuries to get strong enough to defeat her."
Rio: "Oh heck no. Worst-case scenario someone breaks the seal from the outside today."
Tsunade: "WHAT!?"
Rio: "The seal is nearly impossible to break free from the inside but it is easy to break from the outside. Anyone with even the simplest knowledge of energy manipulation can break it. It's why I have it covered in an illusion and I intend on placing hundreds of Hologram Guardians all over that base. I designed the seal based on how she was sealed away originally but without the Elements of Harmony, it becomes far more fragile. It also still makes the Mare in the Moon. But it would have taken too much time to fix that."
Tsunade: "Sigh. I don't think I need to tell you this but we are not ready for a rematch."
Rio: "Oh yes we only won because she was going easy on me. She didn't want to hurt me or kill me as I can't produce children if I am dead. It's also why she never once went for my genitalia. Though I was not that happy she thought my face was a good target. How many teeth did you guys recover?"
Tsunade: "Over 800. Would have found more but several were lost in the collision with Phobos."
Rio: "How are people reacting to that?"
Tsunade: "Okay enough. It was seen as crazy but astronomers have determined that it might have been caused by a meteorite collision combined with the incorrect calculation of the original collision time."
Rio: "Oh yeah Phobos was going to collide anyways. Is everyone okay?"
Tsunade: "Yes, the worst injuries were from the Dragons. I was able to reconnect their wings and they are all fully healed. They are a bit depressed that they were unable to do much to Nightmare Moon."
Rio: "Please tell them that their help was incredibly valuable and I am eternally grateful."
Tsunade: "I will pass it along. What will you do now?"
Rio: "I will visit with my family. I can only imagine what poor Chrysalis is going through. She didn't see me while I was uh messy right?"
Tsunade: "No, we made certain she didn't see you like that. Lucario has been caring for her while you were asleep."
Rio: "Sigh. Good to hear. She isn't like a Pokemon she is still very much a child and should hopefully never have to see something like that."
Tsunade: "I know you are fully healed but you need to take it easy today. You may be awake now but that kind of mental and physical trauma isn't easy to ignore. Lucario is also seeing psychological help for what he saw."
Rio: "I will heed your advice Tsunade."
Tsunade: "Good, now get going as I am sure she will be ecstatic to see you."
I nod and leave the med bay and while I am heading to Chrysalis I check the quest.

'Hmm, 2 of these rewards are very clearly related to my past. Could it have to do with that voice I heard in the vision? Visions can be misleading and I must not take them too literally. I will need to read that book later. The Armor is very useful. It would have been more useful during the fight but at least I have it now. The perk is very useful. Now we don't have to waste so much resources on ensuring others can't replicate our tech. Now I can release them with no worries.'
I thought back on the battle and I couldn't help but think about how powerless I was.
'I was lucky. Beyond Lucky. If she had taken me seriously I would have been incapable of stopping her. I need to get stronger. I will have everyone make training materials and then I will use the Dragon Ball trial so I can use it as a long-term training session. But before I leave need to make sure we are safe here and I can't leave right away. Chrysalis needs to know I am okay.'
I arrived where I sensed Chrysalis and I opened the door. I saw Lucario and Chrysalis playing a Mario Kart. It seemed they paused the game when they heard me open the door. Chrysalis looks at me and I see her eyes widen and even sparkle.
Chrysalis: "Daddy! You are okay!"
I spin into the tackle hug and give her a big hug.
Rio: "Hahaha, yes I am okay. Nothing can keep your pops down for long. I am made of tough stuff you know."
Chrysalis: "Hehehehe, I know I was just worried when you were sleeping for a really long time."
Rio: "Sorry I was really tired. I needed a long sleep to get back to 100%. But now I am here and we can do whatever you want to do."
Chrysalis: "Gasp. Really?! Anything!?"
I nod.
Chrysalis: "Oh I have the bestest idea ever."
I was going to correct her when I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chrysalis: "Makeovers!"
'Oh poop.'
I look over to Lucario to see he has vanished.
'Traitor!'

Authors Note:
The Seal was made of the Eye of Magnus as the power source, Dimeritium mixed with Nth, Vibranium, Uru, and Ebony for the sealing matrix, and the Staff of Magnus to control the Eye. The next chapter will be Gacha and then after that will be the Dragon Warrior Trial. I will say now that even at the end of the trial Rio will not be on even Frieza level. He is just going to exploit the weaknesses of the Dragon Ball Universe. That being magic and soul-based attacks. He will get lots of new citizens. Until next time Ciao.
