On route towards Vitrius, Ur’alcyonis wondered if there was some time to get in some work to further test the limits of his newest vessel. Shrugging his shoulders, the man closed his eyes and grinned, allowing his mental self to be brought into form within the astral plane. Depicting himself in the form his mental state had shown before that foolish shard of his memory, the Primeval leaned on his twisted metallic cane, combing back his black hair as he watched in amusement how a gentle breeze made the blades of grass underneath his feet move back and forth.
“To seek the beauty of nature before the fall of creation,” The man murmured quietly, looking up at the blue sky above. “Such is the burden of those who are sworn to witness the end of it all.”
Balial — 20/01/2022
Vegeta looked at the man who appeared before him in the sea of emerald blades. Black hair pushed tightly back along his head in long strands and a voice a smooth as silk falling from his lips. Even though Vegeta had never saw this man before, he could there was something familiar about him. Ki was unique in that sense, typically the signature would not change no matter the form. However, even with that in mind it was different, stronger, more prominent.
"Halcyon," Vegeta said with a chuckle as he folded his arms over his chest and lifted his nose defiantly. "What poor soul did you snatch up this time I wonder?" Letting loose another small chuckle under his breath he looked toward the man resting against his cane. "Are you sure this one will last this time?"
Credius — 20/01/2022
“Halcyon is a name that I no longer carry, it is but a reminder of a fractured and wayward mind” The man calmly remarked to the words spoken by the saiyan prince who had appeared within the realm of bountiful green. Shifting his weight a bit upon the twisted metal cane, the black haired, black eyes, slender man showed off a rather courteous, yet somewhat sly smile. “Ur’alcyonis is the only name which matters, the name of a broken mind now fixed, the name of a forlorn soul now mended and made whole once more.”
Noticing the chuckle and the sneer towards his past, the primeval’s mental image simply allowed his eyes to take on the more comfortable golden hue which signified his status. “B-toom, b-toom…the heartbeat of a primeval, can you hear it? The sound of limitless potential?”
Balial — 20/01/2022
"Quite the mouth full," Vegeta said sarcastically with a grin to match Ur'alcyonis' own. Vegeta humored the man for a moment, listening for even the listen beat to nod his head slowly to. But alas, there was nothing, not even the faintest rhythm to bless his hears.
"No, I can't quite say I do." Vegeta said with a slight frown. "You seem so much more confident than before. Do you think you can finally light a candle to my flame? After all, I heard that you struggled with someone not even a fraction of my power...."
Credius — 20/01/2022
“Just Ur or Urizen is fine as well…even when I call myself by my real name, using a pseudonym is still pretty useful,” The Primeval let out a soft, yet completely dry chuckle, taking a step to the side and spinning his cane upwards, holding it with the end towards the saiyan prince. “B-toom, b-toom…a stronger heart, nourished by the blood of celestials and drowned in darkness of eons…is now the core of my being.”
When hearing the mention of the fact that the primordial being had indeed lost against some inferior demon, the man’s lips curled into a rather terrifying grin. “A fraction of your power indeed…but a mind…no a spirit within that would send lesser men to an early grave.”
Tilting his head to the side, the primeval glanced towards Vegeta, nodding with an air of nonchalance the being had not shown as Halcyon nor as Halsey. “It doesn’t matter, nothing really does…I am not even close to the power I once wielded…well, neither are you, but that’s besides the point isn’t it? We live in the here and now and no…I don’t think I’d be a challenge to you…yet…”
Balial — 20/01/2022
"Ah, Urizen works fine then." He said with a nod as the name was suddenly much easier to say and remember for the Prince of Saiyans. "What are you babbling about you fool? A soul stronger to send men to their graves, HA! Don't make me laugh." As Urizen tilted his head to the side and began to talk the brow of Vegeta began to shake and furl.
"I've stronger than I've ever been!" He said with a defiant and confident boom in his voice. "Few in this universe can match the level of power I can muster. Let alone the level of power I can release in my sleep. I know only 2 men stronger than myself, and soon they will be beneath me."
Credius — 20/01/2022
“Few in THIS universe, yes,” The primeval let out a sigh, looking up at the sky as he lowered his cane again. “Shortsighted, all of you mortals are so shortsighted…”
The man looked down at the grass, bending down and letting the green blades bristle against the palm of his hand. Yet as he allowed but a bit of his energy to come forth, the grass started to wither and dry. “Look beyond the stars, beyond the galaxy and beyond the universe, there are beings both in time and space, the likes of which you wouldn’t even comprehend. Though…since you’re ambitious, I gather you wouldn’t mind if we were to test your might against the horrors of the Void one day, no?”
Balial — 20/01/2022
"Huh! Horrors of the Void? What'a joke!" Vegeta snarled as he could only shake his head in response. "You expect me to believe that crap? Beings from beyond the universe. Sounds like a cop out to me." His confidence was over flowing at the recent spike in his power and even now the arrogant Prince's ego was only growing.
[19:45]
"Tell me then, were are these horrors you speak of? Just how powerful are they if they dare not to face a mortal such as I?"
Credius — 20/01/2022
Ego, such a dangerous thing. It led to Ur’Alcyonis’ defeat at the hands of the Celestials, Halcyon’s defeat at the hands of the Rebel Paladins, Halsey’s defeat at the hand of that red-eyed nobody. Now it was becoming clear that the prince’s ego had reached new heights just like his power. “There are but a few who can open the boundaries between universes…luckily for you…I count myself among them.”
Slamming his cane on the ground, the surrounding space seemed to shimmer and shatter, shards of the actual space around them falling down and clearing the illusion of Ur’Alcyonis’ mental image, revealing a tall man with a lean, athletic build with slick silver hair and steely silver eyes dressed to the nines. The cane now had the shape of a large black sword brimming with power. “So…I think it’s time I get to see just if this body can handle the exertion my old one couldn’t.”

The man began to shift and shimmer, jet black hair aged like fine wine until it was as gray as the coat on a silver fox. "Interesting.... Might this be your true form?" Vegeta said, holding out his right hand and clenching it into a fist as his excitement finally rose. "Urizen, let's see if you can at least entertain men then!"
Vegeta's own form suddenly erupted with a radiant golden light. His hair, which already stood erect, shimmered with a matching hue and suddenly his eyes shifted into a teal shade. Lightning arched from the edges of his aura to the ground, hissing as the hum of his ki continued. The transformation was quick and showed his mastery of the form.
"Now then, show me what this power is!" Vegeta roared, fully prepared for a fight of his life.
Credius — Yesterday at 13:54
Looking at the saiyan prince instantly go into that blasted super saiyan form with peculiar crackling lightning surrounding him, the Primeval already knew that it would not be a wise choice to just face Vegeta in an untransformed vessel. Deciding to follow the prince’s example, Urizen decided not to hold back either, lifting his sword upwards as a massive column of black energy surrounded and enveloped him.
“Marvelous form, Prince Vegeta,” A deep and menacing voice arose from the column of black energy as thick, metallic tendrils burst out of it, followed by the Primeval stepping out of the energy in his Devil Incarnate form, which was quite the fitting name for the monster that arose from the darkness. “Let’s enjoy this moment.”
With the column of dark energy collapsing and melting, dripping like black wax upon the massive form of the eternal tyrant, Urizen raised his free hand to fire off a swift and piercing black beam of energy towards the prince, all in the name of testing the waters.
Balial — Yesterday at 14:35
The voice came out of the darkness that soon enveloped the primeval with metallic tendrils whipping out in all directions like wild beasts. From the voice alone, before the figure could even be seen, chills were sent crawling down the Prince's spin. What was this feeling? It wasn't fair, but at the same time.... It wasn't not fear.
Suddenly, from deep within his mind, Vegeta could see the faintest trail of a blue line. His eyes tracked the ethereal azure line until he could see where it would make impact, his chest! With a violent shift in his demeanor he rolled his shoulders back and barely managed to avoid the piercing speed of the beam. His armor had be scrapped and charred from the powerful but quick blast.
"Hey, not to bad!" Vegeta called back with his voice full of excitement. "Let's see how you like this!" His palm lifted and he firmly grasped it just under his wrist with his other hand as he braced himself for the recoil of his power. "Big Bang Attack!" He screamed dramatically as a large sphere suddenly came from seemingly nowhere and rocketed itself toward Urizen.
Credius — Yesterday at 19:05
Tilting his head backwards, the primeval kept an eye on the saiyan prince, knowing very well that even in the form the ancient being held now, he was still a far cry from the saiyan’s level of power. Even so, this was supposed to be fun, so when the saiyan prince made a move of his own, a deep rumbling chuckle escaped the primordial being’s toothy mouth.
Without hesitation, the hulking monstrosity moved towards the incoming Big bang attack, but more so the prince responsible for the large sphere of energy coming closer with great speed.
With a slow, almost lazy looking movement, Urizen managed to swing his massive blade against the enormous sphere of energy, swatting it aside with all of his strength, before yet again continuing to walk slowly towards the saiyan prince. Tilting his head to the side, Urizen let out another chuckle, deep and dark in tone, but showing without question that there was a hint of amusement to be found within. “Nice one.”
Raising his free arm yet again, this time the primeval flicked his wrist to send an extremely thin diagonal projectile cutting through the air towards Vegeta.
Balial — Yesterday at 20:59
The prince was hardly surprised to see one of his signature techniques tossed to the side like yesterday's trash, after all, Halycon- no, Urizen, was a being much older than anyone he had dealt with. In fact, even the power Vegeta sometimes allowed to crawl itself to the surface was a gift from the old form of this... Monster.
As the eruption shook the realm to its core from the distant bang of his attack, Vegeta watched on with amusement as the lazy movements began to continue. A flick of his wrist sent a move that was much to hard to see- nearly invisible due to its extremely thin nature.
Without hesitation the Prince lifted his gloved hand, a ring resting on the middle finger began to glow and before long an entire force field manifested itself moments before impact. Without much though the move soon found itself redirecting itself toward the person that it once called master, but for now it would bend a knee to its new king.

Credius — Today at 08:01
Seeing his own energy not just being repelled, but actually being sent back straight towards him, made the primeval smile, showing his sharpened teeth. Yet again, he raised his free arm, holding his fingers together until the thin projectile he had created was nearly upon him.
A single snap of his fingers, producing a loud thunderous crack of sound was enough to dissipate that very projectile, shatter it in a thousand harmless pieces flying about and fizzling out. “I recognise that kind of ring, I must admit it is quite the troublesome object to deal with.”
Ur was rather surprised the prince didn’t utilize his own power all that much yet, knowing fully well that the difference between them was much larger than the primeval’s own current upper limits. Perhaps it was a conservation strategy or perhaps in the end, Vegeta simply didn’t really see the primeval as worth the effort yet. Frustrating for sure, but in the end, the pragmatic ancient being could understand such a course of action, as he no doubt would’ve acted in very much the same manner towards the prince were he still in possession of his true body and true power.
Balial — Today at 11:15
"There are plenty of ways around it, but I do have to admit.... It's a nifty little thing." Vegeta said after the deafening shatter of the reversed move. After a moment there was still no action from Urizen, not another word, nor a single action.
"Are you tried, old man?" Vegeta mocked, face plastered with a "shit-eating" grin. "Don't tell me this is all that you could manage? This was just starting to get exciting!" Vegeta threw one hand out in front of his body, directly pointing it toward Urizen. His palm was flat, fingers extended and joined with his thumb tightly tucked into the center of his palm.
"Dodge this!" Vegeta screamed as hundred of tiny blasts suddenly came finally from the center of his palm. They were quick, exploding into a dome that took up nearly 400 meters in diameter with each blast. Vegeta stood there with a smile on his face, his hair flowing in the wind created from the recoil and shockwaves. "Try not to die on me!" (edited)
Credius — Today at 11:38
“Hmm, so small,” The primeval hardly reacted to the prince’s obvious taunts, hardly acting upon the discourteous way Vegeta continued to treat him. Letting out a heavy sigh, the massive demonic figure started to walk again, each and every step making the ground shake underneath the weight of his new form.
As if it had become an automatic movement, the primeval’s arm remained raised upwards, yet when the numerous small orbs of energy launched by the saiyan prince reached him, Urizen clenched his fist, a shimmer visible to the naked eye revealing that the saiyan prince was not the only one who possessed such a ‘nifty’ item.
For an instant, the orbs’ movement had been completely restricted, before being sent back towards the saiyan prince in all their fury and glory. “As I said…so small.”
Balial — Today at 11:43
Vegeta was surprised to say the least that a technique, such as this- more powerful than any typical beam or blast, was so easily dealt with, but nevertheless it was. He was hoping for more, to get some kind of exciting reaction from Urizen, because at first it seemed like the primeval was eager to show Vegeta so sort of power. But in all accounts, he was failing to give Vegeta what he truly desired- a real battle.
He said, flickering from one spot to the next with ease. Shift, phasing, teleporting, his movements had man names but in reality he was just fast. So fast that his moves seemed to move through time itself, moving faster than the speed of light. Explosions rang into the empty realm and the sound was loud enough to crush the eardrums on normal men, but nevertheless Vegeta finally came to a stop, sighing with displeasure at Urizen's form and power.
"You're weak... truly weak." He said with a disheartened huff. (edited)
Credius — Today at 11:58
The Primeval looked at the hand adorned with the ring, hardly noticing that the saiyan prince had already moved away from his own technique and avoided any potential damage. Urizen simply flexed his hand, clenching it into a fist and stretching out his fingers again, wondering if this was truly the current limit of the body he had.
“Weak…indeed,” The monstrous being turned his face towards the saiyan prince who had just called him weak. “But I’m getting used to it.”
Grabbing the hilt of the black blade he had been carrying this entire time with both of his hands, the primeval leaned forwards, instantly rushing towards the saiyan prince with blue streaks surrounding him, moving nearly like a massive blur, suddenly swinging the blade forward with the intent to rapidly stab and cut Vegeta in seven vital places with great precision.
Balial — Today at 12:01
The move was impressive, which wasn't saying much considering the amount of time that Ur had been alive and been able to practice his swordsmanship. Bu Vegeta had his own tricks up his sleeve. Just like before blue lines began to appear and trace themselves thinning around the areas in which were in danger of being cleaved. So, adjusting to the information given, Vegeta began to move and sway lazily from one position to the next. Weaving through the slashes of the blade he could only smile at the half hearted attempts of wounding him that Urizen had been making.
"Is that really the best you've got?" Vegeta said with another half hearted chuckle. "You're beginning to bore me!"
Credius — Today at 12:08
Noticing that his slashes and stabs weren’t hitting home, with no feeling of flesh being cut, Urizen tried to see what was happening, realizing it was Vegeta, who was expertly avoiding each and every cut with little effort, slightly annoying the primeval, but even so…not enough to make him lose his temper in any way.
“Hmm, I need more speed…” The primeval suddenly grinned, when the blue shimmer still lingering around his form started to be mixed in with his own dark energy, the muscles underneath the metallic looking armor of roots and tendrils tensed up when the monstrous being went for a second attempt, his slashes twice as fast and by extension twice as deal, with the black blade shimmering and brimming with dark energy. “More power.”
Balial — Today at 12:13
The sudden burst of speed was just enough of an adjustment to through Vegeta's movements off slightly. The first strike found purchase in his breastplate, carving through it like a Sunday dinner leaving a gigantic scar running horizontally through it. The second slash was a different story, even a child could have adjust to the speed after a second! In doing such the Prince simply leapt backwards, avoiding the blade entirely and giving Ur a wide brimming grin.
"You should have aimed for my head!" Vegeta called back, slightly amused. "That was quite the trick, now, let me show you mine." Vegeta's ring once more began to glow, this time a different shade- silver, like a moon glistening in the night sky. Power crackled into his hands and his aura flared up with an incredible display of both power and control. His palms stretched out far and he slammed his fist together without much delay.
"This is it! Final.... Flash!" Vegeta screamed as he allowed the ring to power its power into the technique even further, unleashing what could only be viewed as the power of one thousand supernovas. His strongest technique, one he had created himself...
Credius — Today at 12:26
It seemed that in the end, even with all the speed he could muster, the prince’s power was still too far beyond the capabilities of his body. It was a good lesson to the Primeval, to fully understand the danger Vegeta posed to him should they ever part ways in an undesirable way, though at the same time it also gave the Primeval a chance to measure up the prince’s power to its fullest extend, now displayed and laid bare by what seemed to be Vegeta’s pride and joy, his strongest technique.
Yet rather than resist with a technique of his own or taking it, Urizen grinned and chose the option that not everyone could take. The option that showed that while he was weaker, much weaker than Vegeta, the prince could still learn a simple lesson, one the primeval had learned the hard way: to not just look up towards the skies and those above you, but to never forget that a defeat comes usually at the hands of those one disregards as beneath them.
With the air rippling behind him, the Primeval took a step backwards into the darkness, vanishing right before the beam of energy ripped apart anything in its path and reappearing right behind the prince, stepping out of the tear in space and time in the previously shown form of a well dressed man with silver hair and an athletic build, patting the saiyan on the shoulder. “Pretty impressive, not going to lie.”
Balial — Today at 12:29
The attack laid waste to the lands, ripping through the realm in a fiery display of both talent and power. Vegeta, ever the man to display ego without second thought, could only smile to himself as he looked on to the last lingering thin beam of ki that was left from the attack. Yet there was not a single atom that remained from where his attack plowed.
"Heh!" He said to himself, amused by his own strength, but just then he felt something, a palm resting against his shoulder and words faintly reaching his ear. "H-how did you?!" Vegeta said in shock as he turned his head. I was sure my attack landed.... I saw it! He thought to himself as his head slowly turned to see the visage of the silver haired man once more.
Credius — Today at 12:40
"You know very well how I did it," Ur'Alcyonis quipped, tapping a finger against the side of his head. "I think this was good enough for now, no?"
With a grin on his face, the primeval vanished from the astral plane, deciding that this was fine. After all, he had learned a few things from this little spar, both about himself and the prince who was inevitably linked to him.
Balial — Today at 12:52
Vegeta remained in the realm for a moment after Urizen left. Baffled by the man's ability to still.... Even after being so utterly overpowered by Vegeta, strike fear in his heart. What was it about this man? Sure, he had power that he could lend the Prince, power that was unknown to the galaxy- sure. But there was something more, something different. Demons lie, it was a known fact, after all- mortals lie. So was the words he spoke possibly the truth? Was Urizen a horror outside the binds of both time and space, a being before creation?
There was no way to tell.... The only thing that would grant the answer to Vegeta's questions was the very thing that Urizen said he was unbound to- time.
