Chapter 3 - Recovery

The world opens up to absolute silence, half of the planets once lush forest and mountains turned into rubble and dust. Mary stood there, her eyes glowing as bright, as a thousand suns. She focuses as her eyes zoomed into the distance and finally she sees Lilith, still alive even after taking a star level attack at point blank. How unfortunate, I really was expecting that to kill her. Mary looks over at Jasmine's weak form on the ground. You'll forgive, you always do.

Mary's feet slowly started to float off the ground but then to her surprise she feels something grabbing onto her arm and pulling her back. Mary turned around seeing Jasmine standing. Jasmine what are you doing? You shouldn't be.... Quite! Jasmine interrupts. Why should I listen to you when you're actively trying to kill my daughter after I told you not too. Jasmine falls to her knees and Mary immediately gets on her knees before checking on Jasmine's condition.

Mary uses her powers to heal Jasmine further. Jasmine, I'm sorry but you know I can't let her survive because she's a dimensional threat. Mary lays Jasmine down on her back. And threats like those must be taken care of. So I'm sorry but I have to do what's right for this world. Mary tries to get up but Jasmine grabbed her hand, holding onto it tightly. Please Mary, don't do this. Please just give her a chance to show she's not completely taken over.

Mary looks down at Jasmine, she stays silent for a while before snapping her fingers. In a instant Lilith falls from the sky, only a few feet away. Ok, I'll give her one chance to change. Mary teleports and reappeared kneeling next to Lilith's unconscious body. Getting shot in the face by star levels of energy and yet your body is still in one piece. Mary holds her hand out and uses her powers to heal Lilith's internal wounds while checking if she'll wake up.

One wrong move, only one then I'll wipe you out of existences with my bare hands. Mary's eyes glow once more, she raises her hand before a orb started to form. Here we come home world. The orb explodes into a bright blinding light, suddenly it looks like reality itself is bending and reshaping until the tree of them are in front of Jasmine's castle. Mary stood up straight before seeing help coming out the castle to aid Jasmine and Lilith.

When the doctors and maids got to them they didn't wait a single second before examining Jasmine and Lilith before taking them into the castle but one maid stayed behind. The maid approached Mary before doing a bow and asking. Are you the supreme being Mary? Mary turned to face the maid fully. Yes, that's who I am but just call me Mary. The maid nodded. Yes Madam-Mary. I'm meanly here to ask on the behave of every maiden in this castle.

The maid stayed quiet before continuing. If you and our beloved queen are in a relationship. The maids face turns beet red but she still remained in place as Mary's cheeks also turned red. Well yes, we do have an relationship but not in a lover why. We're just friends helping each other out, that's all. The maid nodded. I understand, so will you be staying or going out again? Mary looks up at the blue sky. I'm afraid to say but no, I won't be staying.

Mary looks back at the maid. Tell your queen, I won't be gone for too long. Mary's form started to glow before she just finished. The maid stood there before running back into the castle and immediately goes to Jasmine's room to see if she's awake. The maid does find the room and surprisingly, Jasmine's awake and is being and is going through a exemption. She walks into the room before stopping just a foot away from the bed. My queen, Mis Mary left a message

Jasmine looks at the maid before giving the nod for her to speak. As the maid sees the nod she continued. Mis Mary told me, she'll be coming back soon. Jasmine sighs at the news. Thank you for the message, you're dismissed young one. The maid gave a bow before walking out the room leaving Jasmine with the doctors. You're all dismissed. The doctors stop what their doing before one says. But my queen, we're not done yet. Jasmine looks over at them.

I said your dismissed. This time the doctors don't talk back and just leaves the room. Jasmine lays there in her bed lost in thought. Jasmine's thoughts: if you don't change Lilith, then there will be nothing I can do to save you from Mary. Jasmine closed her eyes before drafting off to sleep but some where else in the castle someone has finally woke. Lilith's eyes open up and suddenly she sits up straight before seeing she's not in hell and she's not home either.

Lilith sits there before getting a flashback of what happened, she remembers Mary's words before getting shoot at point blank sending her crashing through multiple planets until she finally crashed into a planet so hard, it managed to take the hit but stil got a massive crater slammed into it's surface. Lilith finally came out of her flashback before looking around the room and just getting out of the small bed. Where am I? This isn't my home planet and it's definitely not hell.

Lilith started walking around before walking into a maid but just before the maid could even scream, Lilith speed blitze her and pinned the maid to the wall but just as the maid was about to scream, Lilith's lips meets hers but it's not a normal kiss as the maid felt her soul being sucked out and only after a good minute Lilith finally pulled away as the maid just falls to the ground, still alive and breathing but completely flustered. Lilith looked down at the maid as her eyes glowed

Your one dirty little girl. Lilith laughs. I was just planning to get more information about this place and you not only gave me that but a whole library of the bad things you've been doing behind the queens back. Lilith continued to laugh before just walking away, leaving the maid to catch her breath. Lilith rounds a corner before standing face to face with multiple maids and guards but Lilith instantly speed blitzed all of them as she knocks them all out without killing them.

Lilith continued to walk around and finally noticed that her whole in tire torso was covered in a bandage. What the hell? How didn't i notice this. Lilith takes off her shirt completely and throws it to the ground before walking with only the bandages covering her torso. That shirt was so uncomfortable, even this bandage feels better then having that thing on. Lilith kept walking until she walked into Shinobu (is what you'd normally think)

Lilith's eye's instantly glowed as she scans Shinobu's body and her eyes immediately locked onto a glowing orb inside Shinobu's body. Your a SB, what's your kind even doing here I thought Soul-beings don't interact with dimensional gods? Shinobu only started to walk closer to Lilith, but Lilith immediately snapped her neck to the side as Shinobu's fist flew past her head and the shockwave alone from her fist makes a hole in one of the castles walls.

Lilith instantly teleports away at a save distance. Oh so you wanna throw hands. Lilith holds up her hands but Shinobu's face remains emotionless as she continued to come closer, but then Shinobu finished. Lilith instantly dodges a kick to the neck but as she turns to attack, Shinobu's gone. Lilith's eyes narrowed as she uses her hearing to pinpoint Shinobu and just as expected, Lilith moves to dodge another attack but this time she grabs Shinobu's arm

And immediately throws her in the one of the castle walls, the wall unable to the force breaks and just like that, Shinobu flys right through the wall and out the castle. Lilith realizing she just threw someone right through a wall and out the castle, got out of there before rounding another corner this time she gets greeted by more SB's one is even Chi-Chi but Lilith can't waste time so she jumps out a window, but just as she was about to hit the ground a hand grabbed her.

The hand pulled her back through the same window once more, and this time Lilith finds herself surrounded by Luffy, Chi-Chi, Gojo, Shalltear and the same Shinobu she threw through a wall not long ago surrounding her, Lilith thinks of way out until a voice rang out. What's this! They all snapped there necks at the direction of voice and when they see it's their queen Jasmine all of kneel and bow. Lilith just sat there against the wall completely confused.

Jasmine approached before asking. Were you all trying to hurt my daughter? They all stayed silent before Shalltear answered. We were ordered by the great maid to bring, your daughter back to her room your highness. Jasmine looks over at Lilith. Your all dismissed, now go. They all got up and walked away leaving Jasmine and Lilith alone. So you've been using, SB's to work for you? Lilith asked casually. No they came to me looking for help. Jasmine answered

Jasmine gets closer to Lilith before sitting down next to her, all of them had trouble bounding with their vessels until they met me. I helped them bound with their vessel and in exchange they decided to serve me. Lilith just burst out laughing. Wait! What! Your telling me, those idiots couldn't even bound properly? That's hilarious! Lilith continued to laugh until Jasmine asked. Do you still hate me? Lilith's laughing instantly stopping.

It's complicated after that stunt you pulled off, stil can't believe you were just playing me. Lilith answered. I'm really sorry, but I couldn't bring myself to actually do it. Jasmine replied and got up before giving a hand to help Lilith up, Lilith slapped her hand away before getting up on her own. Don't you dare pity me. Lilith says but Jasmine's calm demeanor really got under Lilith's skin. Can't you for once stop acting like this lovingly mother all the time?

Jasmine's eyes widened a bit. Why would I stop, I'm your mother it's my job to be loving no matter what you do. Lilith rolls her eyes before walking away but Jasmine immediately followed her. Why are you following me? Jasmine looked away but kept following. Because I'm your mother and I know your planing on trying to find the Anime-library and we both know I can't let that happen. Lilith stopped in her tracks. Stop acting like you know me inside and out.

Jasmine smiles. But I do know you inside and out, I know what you love, what you hate and.... STOP IT! Lilith screams at Jasmine before she could have finished her sentence. I get it you know me really well but just stop. Lilith says before looking thoughtful as Jasmine tilts her head to the side. So what are you thinking of? Jasmine asks. It's none of your business mother. Lilith said coldly but then she sensed something. What's that?

Jasmine's expression completely changed as she picked it up as well. It's nothing, don't worry about it honey. Lilith's eyes narrowed. Why are you trying to play the question off? Jasmine just gave smile. It's nothing Lilith, now let's go eat. Before Lilith could pressure Jasmine to answer she gets grabbed by the arm and dragged away by her mother. Is this really necessary? Jasmine kept on walking but does answer. Yes it is. They reached the dining room and Jasmine finally let's go.

Lilith rubs the part of her arm Jasmine grabbed onto. You got a good grip for a woman who's supposed to be against violence. Jasmine tilted her head. I wouldn't call it violence, more like forceful helping. Lilith rolled her eyes but then a maid approached them asking what they'll be wanting to eat but in that moment time seemed to freeze and Lilith's eyes just started to glow as Jasmine turned to face the maid fully.

Lilith balls up her fist and without making a sound she pulls back her fist, before sticking Jasmine from behind with all the power she could unleash but as her fist connected with Jasmine's back, Lilith's eyes widen because Jasmine doesn't move a single inch. The whole dinning gets destroyed in the process, tables and chairs are send flying and walls cracking but the maid got caught by her leg by Jasmine just as she was about to get sent flying.

The maid falls to floor as the shockwave finally stopped but as she looked up at Jasmine, she could instantly tell she's pissed. Lilith takes a step back as Jasmine turned around with a smile on her face and without a word she took a step forward and landed one single slap to Lilith's face with so much Lilith gets sent crashing through EVERY single wall of the castle until she blows out at the other side before crashing into the forest close by.

The next scene we're greeted by Jasmine and Lilith sitting at a table clearly in a different dining room with Lilith's hair a mess and holding a ice pack to her cheek. What kind of slap, even was that! Ow Lilith says as the pain kicked in but Jasmine remained calm. Maybe it wouldn't hurt so much if you hadn't attempted to kill me. Lilith's eyes narrowed. I wasn't trying to kill you. Jasmine looked Lilith dead in the eyes before tilting her head to the side just a little bit.

If you weren't attempting to kill me, then why did you specifically punch my back at the exact spot where my heart is located? Lilith's eyes widen. Ok fine! You got me, but that stil doesn't give you the right to slap me! Jasmine's eyes widen. What do you mean, you were literally trying to kill me. Lilith looked away. You owe me, you're life after what you did. Jasmine stayed silent for a while before speaking. Look i didn't mean to do what I did back then,

Lilith remained silent. Lilith I know what I did broke you back then but believe me when I tell you, she was never going to truly love you, she was just using you. Lilith's eyes turns blood red from anger but she holds back, how would you know! When you never gave her a chance, you just came out of nowhere and killed her without second thought. Lilith's eyes suddenly started to tear up as her emotions started to clash with all the power within.

I thought you were supposed to be the angel of this world, always giving second chance to those who truly need it. Jasmine sat there looking at her daughter crying before her eyes started to glow as well. I'm truly sorry Lilith, for everything. Jasmine holds up a hand towards Lilith. If it makes you feel better, I can help you connect with her on a deeper level. Lilith looks up from her crying. What do you mean, connect on a deeper level?

Jasmine looked at Lilith confused. I mean, I can help you control her powers perfectly, you do know your the her replacement.... right? Lilith's eyes widen. What! I never knew that! Jasmine's eyes widened as well. Wait, you're telling me, you've been going around dimensions with the power of literal death without even knowing?! Lilith looks at her mother like she's crazy. I don't know! You've never explained to me how most things work in this world!

Jasmine and Lilith just sat there in silence for a good minute before Jasmine finally spoke. Ok, this is awkward. So you've been living your life normally not knowing your dead lover has been inside you this whole time. Lilith just lowered her head, I'm such a idiot, I traveled dimensions and even went to heaven and hell to find her and this whole time she's been with me. Jasmine got up from her chair before walking over to Lilith. It's not your fault, it's mine for what I did.

Lilith just stood up as well. If she's inside me, how do I communicate with her?Jasmine stayed silent. Why are you silent all of a sudden mother? Lilith looks at Jasmine. Please tell me I can at least communicate with her. Jasmine looks away. I can't guarantee you it's possible to speak to her but there is a chance but it's really slim. Lilith's face completely lit up as she shows a smile Jasmine hasn't seen in millions of years.

After that conversation the day continued as normal except the queen of suffering was in the same castle with the Anime-Queen, this did make the servants and maids really sceptical but they still follow routine without complaining to Jasmine. At the end of the day as the sun sets, Jasmine stood outside on a balcony looking at the setting sun. She's getting stronger, it's only a matter of time until she's free. Just then Lilith teleported behind Jasmine.

What are you doing? Jasmine turned to face Lilith. Nothing, I'm just watching the sun set. Lilith walks closer to the balcony railing. I've got a question. Jasmine turned back to the railing as well. Go ahead. Jasmine says to Lilith. Where did it all begin? Jasmine lower her head. Can we talk about about something else? Lilith looks at her mother confused. Why are you ignoring the question? Jasmine looks up at the night sky as the sun fully sets.

I'm not ignoring the question, I just don't want to talk about it. Lilith looks even more confused but just as she was about to ask another question, both her and Jasmine senses somethings far away. I'm not the only who picked that up right? Jasmine's eyes glowed as she looks up at the night sky. No, I sensed it too, and I can tell it's something bad. Lilith looks thoughtful. So does that mean you'll be going out to stop this evil being?

Jasmine looks over at Lilith. I have no choice, I have to go but this time I'm bringing someone with. Lilith's eyes widen. Hey! I didn't agree to any of this, I'm still evil remember? Jasmine smiled. You said it yourself, I'm supposed to be giving second chances. Lilith just looks away. I'm not going, and you're not making me. Jasmine walked closer to Lilith before whispering. you have no choice, because once Mary is back, she would want to know if you're turning good, if not then... you know.
