Xylos' Battalion Book One: The Champion

The Second Tournament Of Power Hydra P.O.V. Part Four

"K-khabib...?" I asked.

"What?" He asked aggressively. 

"W-who is Mitzba...? I-is that-"

"Xylos' mother..." He said, looking up. "Queen of the Saiyans. At least she was in Universe 1. She passed off the title to her sister when she moved to Universe 7. She was the most powerful. She rose to the throne through power rather than blood. She overthrew the tyrant who was ruling and took control. She was unrivaled. Me and my brother... We were destroyers for a very long time... We just weren't assigned a universe for a while... So, I haven't aged at all since then... We became destroyers after Mitzba got married... You see, unlike the Saiyans of Universe 7, it was common knowledge at the time that we could all transform to achieve new heights in our power... I never told you guys why the Saiyans of Universe 1 were going extinct... There was a major war... We lost. The Saiyans who remained got murdered, or kept or sold as slaves... Eventually, Amy's family managed to escape to a planet where they've been living with a few other Saiyan families. It was a previously uninhabited planet called Planet Steam... It is the only place in the universe where you can find Saiyans... New Saiyans are found every so often, and they are added to the colony... Eventually, Xylos' family moved to Universe 7-"

"You said that he's Xylos' uncle." I said. "He called you brother. Explain that."

"Fine, Xylos is my nephew. Me and Mintz had another brother... One who became an unofficial destroyer just like us... We all fled to Universe 7. Eventually, Mintz left for Universe 12 to become an actual God of Destruction... I stayed... After a while, the planet was destroyed as I went scouting the universe for powerful warriors of other races... Because both me and Mintz left the planet, it was destroyed... Xylos' father escaped but left Xylos behind... That's when I brought him to Earth..."

"And Xylos' father...?" Razor asked.

"I was angry at him for abandoning his family... So... I killed him..."

"Did you love her...?" Asked a voice behind Khabib.

"Excuse me?" He asked, turning around. 

I stepped to the side to see Xylos standing there, staring at Khabib with his fist's clenched. "My mother... You had feelings for her, didn't you? That's why you were so angry that you'd kill your own brother... Khabib... Why didn't you just tell me that we were related...?"

"I... I don't know... I guess, I didn't want you to be disappointed..."

"Of what?"

"Having me as an uncle..."

"Ah..." Xylos said, still staring at Khabib. "Now tell me, did you have feelings for my mother?"

"Why-"

"I feel like I deserve to at least know that much don't I? After you being dishonest with me this whole time, your story changing every time you tell it. You gave me a very different reason for killing my father earlier. You said that you were on the planet when it was destroyed. What's the truth?"

Khabib took a deep breath. "Yes... Very much so... I was always jealous of my brother because of her..."

"I see... So you did want to bring my mother back so you can be with her..." Xylos looked down and said, "How about this... Instead of being jealous of your brother, be happy for what he has, and know that you at least get to see her and be friends with her..." He looked up and glared at Khabib. "Only a sick heartless monster could take that love away from someone else. Maybe even with my father out of the way, she might not fall for you, as she might just stay single. If, if we end up winning this thing, and you are still in the arena, you better not wish for my mothers love or anything to that extent, or I will personally escort you to Otherworld..." He then walked past Khabib and said, "You could have at least told me where my power came from..." He bumped Khabib's shoulder as he walked by and I backed up from him. I saw a look that I haven't seen on his face for a long time. Anger. Pure, absolute rage.
