Post by Marrow on Dec 6, 2016 21:16:44 GMT
Marrow walked towards the mountain with curiosity peaking. She had never got to explore the world, let alone space. But one step at a time right? Best check this planet out before looking to get into space after all. There were many unique things. This mountain for example, Mt. Paozu, supposedly was filled with wildlife she hadn’t seen before. Even dinosaurs if rumors held true. This seemed like the perfect place to explore first. She had thought of bamboo forest or whatever it was, but had decided this was closer. She might be able to fly, but others might not. And besides, she might see more from the ground.
Narrows mind was on her encounter with Scarlet and the other of her mind she had met. Marrow idly found herself wonder i by how Scarlet had fluidly scaled the building wall, and why she hadn’t flown instead. Clearly flight was common among those who used ki. But ground travel bad it’s own merits. Perhaps she would see some more interesting things, maybe even a reclusive dinosaur or some other beast. Admittedly she was hardly a great warrior so far, but… practice makes perfect after all she supposed.
Marrow held a hand up and stretched it. She was still adjusting to this form after 9 years of being in a larval form. She had 3 fingers and a thumb in each hand, and two large toes in each foot. Each toe as long as any finger. All her limbs were covered in thin armor resembling nn exoskeleton from some insect. Her joints and skin not covered thusly was namekian green. This persisted through her core. Her abs had small plates like this as well, with proportionally more green skin. She was told this resembled arcosians in some way, but more insectoid. However as she had never met an arcosian, she was unsure. Each exoskeleton section was a milky bone white, with small red spots, like someone was covered in blood and shook off like a dog near her. At the base of her neck another section like that formed a thin band resembling a choker necklace. Above that, all her skin was white, and her face was fist i actively human. Her lips were blood red matching her eyes and hair. But her eyes had no white sclera, instead the camera were black, making her red irises seem like a blood ring in an entirely black pair of eyes.
It was for this reason that humans fled from around her. Were it n it for the fact that she was walking into this area, dangerous for humans probably, one would hear yelling and running. But there was no such sound, for there were no such people near her. And why must humans do that anyway? She hadn’t shown any indication of hurting them! If she didn’t know better she’s wonder if it was a greeting. Marrow has to hold back a giggle as that imma be formed in her head. Two people coming up to each other, screaming, and running away. Marrow understood the why despite not wanting to admit it. She looked like… Well… An alien covered in blood. Marrow’s scorpion like tail held poised over her head, the same color as her lower body, segments of white chitinous plates around them rings, green skin between. It looked every bit a scorpion's tail excepting it was hers… And it was huge. No wild scorpion had a four and a half food tail right?

Left, right, left, the Saiyan's fists flurried one after the other within quick succession whilst his long, coat like Gi flared out behind him like a cloak; oddly, a second version of himself fended back. This technique was amazing, using the Ki to which he controlled easily at this point the young man had successfully cloned himself for a period of time. Who was better to train with but yourself, to be aware of your own short comings was to gain the greatest advantage. A stone fracturing boom filled the mountain side as he and himself clashed again and again severing boulders beneath each others stone cracking landing. About each of the Saiyan's burnt that of a blood red ki wild as an inferno and brandishing his chocolate coloured mane with a hue equal in the ferocious colour.
"Is that it?" barked his clone as the outer shape of his shin connected with the forearm of the goading creation, this was a flaw, never in a thousand cycles had he noticed how annoyingly arrogant he was. No matter. Their flurries interlaced again as their limbs flailed to defend and assault. "Idiot, stop talking and focus," an odd sensation to tutor your own self and yet an amused grin bloomed about the twin creatures lips. However, the combat ceased as their senses flared to the realisation that they were not alone here. Each other's fist paused not moments from the others jaw and in unison they turned to regard the slopes to their west.
"A new fighter," uttered the creation and his limb sought the waist as did Levlidian's, now it occurred to the pair that the once lush forest was in ruins, pot holes and craters littered the newly created barrens. Applying his finger tips to an idle scratch of his crown; the beast relinquished his ability fusing himself with the clone and he took to floating towards this signature. "It reminds me of that 'Noxa' woman," he muttered and sought to float over the fine crevices only to spy the interesting looking, pale creature. A broad grin bloomed about his lips and upon folding his arms creating a weft of flesh and black cloth; Levlidian descended.
Without so much as a howdy, he struck the dirt and coiled his knees to brace the landing whilst his arms courted his open Gi, scars littered him like a painting, a long coat like Gi fluttered behind him and encompassed his upper torso whilst baggy black pants and heavy black boots lay bound about his lower. Bandages bound his abdomen up to his chest and about the top of his triceps and forearms whilst finger less gloves occupied his hands. "You're new," he uttered upon a guttural, blunt tone, "Greetings, I'm Levlidian and who is it I'm dropping in on today?" thus evolves the arrogant grin and sneering obsidian eyes of self-supremacy.

As Marrow kept walking she began to sense two enormous powers. Each roughly equal to the man from the other day. So close to each other and moving? They were fighting? That was her best guess. But why? Marrow was beginning to grow nervous. Such warriors could crush her effortlessly if they wanted to. She really posed no threat to anyone of that caliber. She's have to charge a ki attack for practically an hour to even hope to scratch the guys. But… then the two energies merged. Oh god? What? How? Now there was a single energy with twice the ki. What was going on? This power could probably decapitate her with just his hand turned sideways if he wanted. This was nerve wracking. She had just hoped to see some unique animals, wildlife, a forest, nature things.
Scarlet was behind her, clearly nervous too. Marrow was grateful Scarlet had decided to come. She could only imagine how lonely it could get. Especially when you couldn’t blend into the human population. But now, grateful as she was for Scarlet's presence, she couldn’t help wonder if this meant 2 could die if this went badly, not one. She had hidden herself somewhat. Marrow had to acknowledge her slithering about was pretty cool.
But the powerful person descended and landed in front of her. There was a sneer and his words were arrogant. She’d have to let that slide considering the power difference. He had earned that arrogance perhaps, little though she liked it. The man was covered in scars, one particular one on his eye was rather nasty looking. How had he gotten so many and why? Regardless Marrow was on edge.
But then Scarlet burst forth, calling out to him. Did she know this human? Or was He a human? His ki wasn’t quite the same. “Lev”? What an odd name, not that she couldn't win in an odd name contest herself. Scarlet spoke again and Marrow was all too happy to listen. A Saiyan? What made him not human? So he was supposed to have a tail? What happened? Had someone cut it off? Why? ”Why would anyone not want their tail?” Marrow said softly, stroking her own possessively. She might not entirely like her appearance… But tails were awesome right?
Marrow was full of questions, and standing slightly awkwardly. It would be wrong to say she wasn’t still somewhat nervous. But… still. She should be wary. Marrow made a careful note of his ki and the power of it. What did she say in this situation? That was another fault of hers. She wasn’t the greatest socialite, which wasn’t surprising how long she had been able to speak. She wasn’t particularly skilled at navigating awkward situations to say the least. ”I’m guessing you were training? But… where did the other ki go? Oh... I”m Marrow.” She stuck the last bit in as an afterthought. Politeness dictated she give been and right? She hated exposing her ignorance. But… She’d only had the ability to speak for a week at best, let alone the ability to explore and learn properly. She doubted she'd find a book on namekians, arcosians, and saiyans at the local library.

Within a moment, Levlidian's brows rocketed to the tip of his forehead and he tilted to the side to spy Scarlet scuttling towards them, his grin softened and his obsidian eyes lessened with intensity as the pair conversed. They knew one another? Damnit, there he was hoping there was a half decent fight involved in this entire charade. With a sigh, the beast unfolded his arms and converted to a less aggressive stance whilst interlocking his fingers behind his head. "Hm, ah, I can use my Ki to separate myself into two souls; identical forms actually but it halves my power to do so," there it was again, an arrogant grin bloomed about his lips. "I tend to just 'appear', travelling the planet and fighting new people is a hobby of mine, gets the Saiyan blood in me pumping and strengthens me against anyone with a nefarious desire to harm my new home here on Earth; you should try it,"
"As for my tail, it was a strategic weakness I needed rid of, the only thing it was good for was turning into a relentless Ape; too many times had I seen a Saiyan die from being too big, too slow or overly angry," a meek shrug followed. "Though I was indeed training, I never stop unless I require a break, like now for instance. It's good to meet you Marrow, I am Levlidian-," his brows sank as he regarded the other soul who matched her energy signature, "Scarlet, long time, you look just about as you were then. afraid to train or are those looks of yours a precious thing?" he grinned mockingly.
Marrow seemed quite favourable of her tail, Levlidian peered unto it with a slight piercing, analysing like stare. "I can see why you like yours, it's sturdy, useful but mine was just a nuisance. As a boy i tore it off and worked on my fighting as a meek human form besides a large Monkey. however, what brings you two here and Scarlet, why were you hiding amongst that foliage? Seems a little odd to me for someone as strong as you to hide from someone of equal measure," the young Saiyan gestured from a freed paw and a thumb to the area to which the woman had drawn out from. he didn't seem to mind the alternate features of Marrow nor any in Scarlet for that matter, in fact he seemed completely unphased and quite happy to interact as though they resembled no alternative styles.

Marrow listened carefully and had to try hard to to betray some surprise at his answer. He could slot himself into two bodies? How? She could only imagine how useful that would be. Still, she wondered if it was dangerous too. For example, if he was fighting someone as strong as he is,and he divided himself and took a full damage attack, would he die? After all, his main body’s power would be halved right? That sounded dangerous. That said event a 10th of him could probably kill her. She wondered how useful that would be in combat, considering that possible, and rather obvious, weakness. That said, in a desperate situation it would be a huge aid to escaping. And if you're desperate… That extra risk is probably a drop in the bucket. Still, the fact that he could even do that… probably meant he had earned the right to that arrogant demeanor.
They certainly weren’t on even ground. She was less anxious now that he wasn’t so openly aggressive. He knew Scarlet, good. Marrow didn’t fancy dying today. She had no clue what the afterlife held and wasn’t in a hurry to find out what happens when you die. Best she not antagonize such a person.
What he said next however, was interesting. He ripped his own tail off? Ouch… Marrow could only imagine how much that must have hurt. Then again...his had been a skinny monkey tail right? Here was thick… It’s probably hurt more die t o all the extra flesh. Still… ouch… what weakness could a Saiyan’s tail hold? Someone found grab hers… but they could accomplish the same by grabbing her leg or arm… So just that couldn’t be the strategic weakness. What was it then. Thankfully Scarlet was thinking along the same line of thought and asked that exact question. Marrow hoped it wouldn’t invoke his ire. After all she wouldn’t readily give away her weaknesses. Then again this guy had no tail, and the the opponent knowing about it wouldn’t be a detriment right?
The conversation steered back towards Scarlet, which she was glad for. However when asked about her appearing not to have trained her answer was rather startling. Firstly, ouch, secondly, OUCH, thirdly…. Thrilling? What? Did she enjoy that? So Scarlet was a masochist? That was… Good to know? If Scarlet hadn’t already mentioned having Namekian traits and that Namekians could regrow limbs, She would have been extremely confused. Still, just because Marrow could regrow body parts didn't mean she wanted things ripped off her, let alone would enjoy that. She wondered if Levlidian knew she could regrow limbs? He was probably figuring that out at this very moment. Marrow nearly flinched imagining Scarlet being torn to bits. As it was her expression probably showed how horrifying that sounded.
What was this about them being equal measure? Levlidian was clearly far outstripping them both. Was she suppressing her ki? Scarlet seemed to wave this off saying Marrow was stronger than her. ”Maybe… But if so just by a hair... “ Marrow imagined Scarlet would win in a fight just die to experience alone.

Levlidian shrugged toward the appointed question, nothing in particular had invited him to the specific spot he'd found himself and now that he thought of it, the silence was all he wanted. "I came here for the solace, really, most people frown on a man that can shatter mountains with his bare firsts," another shrug followed. Marrow seemed tentative, threatened perhaps? The young Saiyan had no idea why they'd both feel so agitated by the mere presence of his enormous Ki and so, he'd lower it. Exhaling loudly, the massive amount of energy he out put decreased to under their own.
"Well, the gap between you two wouldn't mean much, I'm interested in how you both convey yourself in battle but I have a feeling you'd prefer not to fight me," again he looked to Scarlet then back to Marrow. "Are you two friends then?" the interest was alone in these two was enough to forward his own investigation of them. He had no idea whether they were good, evil or neutral but fear was the last thing on any Saiyan's mind. "The view isn't half bad either, really, to train amongst natures beauty revved me up and I feel like this place harnesses some unique energy,"
"Though, a Saiyan's tail can be used to stun them, grab it and they buckle if they've not trained in resistance of it; so this won't work on a more powerful Saiyan. As for other reasons, back then I didn't see the advantage of becoming a giant monkey," The air about the mountain drew about s subtle flourish awaking his mane which now covered his right eye due to it. "They're not as useful as your own tails, mine wouldn't act as another limb, more like a dead weights circumstantial key to more power. It's useless to someone like me," Scarlet's story courted a grimace from Levlidian who began to scratch his head once more.
"You're mad," was his only response followed by a deep chuckle, "Makes a change to come across someone with a different out look. We should spar some time, both of you, apparently I can create enough of me to go around," another laugh followed and he'd stretch outwardly betraying subtle cracks of his joints. "So, Marrow, why did you walk all the way up here? there's no need to fear me, unless I see something to gain i don't attack someone randomly, unless tehy're stronger or as strong as me. Then it's the training and test I want,"

Marrow was a bit off put, and threatened to be honest. Considering this was the most powerful person she’d ever met, it wasn’t particularly surprising. But as he took a deep breath, his ki and such plummeted until it was weaker than hers. For a moment she felt somewhat relaxed, then she realized that was completely foolish. He hadn’t made himself weaker, he had merely done it to help relax her. At any second if he wanted to he could still destroy her. It would probably take him no longer than a split second to ramp up his power too. No this was futile. ”It’s okay, you don’t have to do that, but than you. I think I was just a bit panicky because the strongest person I had met before you was half your strength at best, less than half. So I was… Rather surprised and startled. But I think I’ve got a grip on myself now. Marrow took a breath and relaxed her muscle, calmed herself a bit.
”I’m a bit new… Most of my life was spent in a kind of larval state, looking like some kind of alien bug about the size of a small cat. So.. Now that I have a humanoid form, finally, I’m a bit fresh I guess. Still just a greenhorn I suppose. I guess I was being needlessly skittish.”
Marrow nodded as to whether they were friends, and looked slightly towards Scarlet. But her mind was on his other statement. Could be really break a mountain with his fist? Like… A whole mountain not just a crack an inch deep or so? Was that possible? Could ki literally empower you that much if you trained enough? She’d ask him to demonstrate if not for the risk that he wasn’t exaggerating and Mt. Paozu was destroyed. But… she could use ki to fire a beam… so it wasn’t ridiculous enough to deny. And his power was more than 30x hers…
Those were her thoughts, but her mind snapped back into the present when he begun talking about their tails. That was interesting. So if you grabbed their tail you could fend them off? And their tails were monkey tails? So not… well… Particularly useful? She knew monkey tails were prehensile, but could imagine a human sized person handing from a tree via one. ”Wait… If the tail let's saiyans turn into giant powerful monkeys with ki… then what would happen if it got damaged in monkey form? Would they be stuck in monkey form turn back? Or would it not matter once they are already in it, they just couldn’t do it again? And if it's super painful to grab, how did you best ripping it out? There was a definite note of awe in her voice for that last sentence. He's probably get arrogant again… but if that’s how he lost his tail he had earned that right for this subject.
Marrow listened to Scarlet, and was firmly in agreement. She could regrow her limbs, but not infinitely. Giving her body time to relax sounded like a good plan to her. Marrow then turned back to Levlidian. ”As for sparing I wouldn’t mind if not for the fact that you’d need to divide yourself into nearly a dozen bodies and half all but one sit twiddling their thumbs for it to be anywhere close to even.” And Marrow did give an honest laugh there. ”Well now that I can explore… I wanted to see the wildlife around here, perhaps see a dinosaur if I got lucky, that kind of thing. I used to live in the southern capital as a larva, then… Well… I got captured and complicated things happened… suffice to say I didn’t get a chance to get out till I transformed and took on this form.” Marrow sighed slightly. It sounded so much simpler and easier when said that way… But she didn't want to waste their time by giving them a full story.

A flurry of questions flowed from marrow like a River, Levlidian's lips curled further but he listened with an honest look of intrigue towards the pair, each of their energies reminded him of a creature he'd once met. Though their power was no where near as high as the first still they owned some unique characteristics and with a nod, he'd part his own lips to best answer these posed questions. "I'm sorry you wouldn't consider a spar with me, the pair of you but I can only split my body once and to be honest; that's all I need in combat. To manipulate more shortens my ability to focus which isn't a good thing,"
"As for Saiyan tails, once its removed they revert back if they've transformed and will never manage it again without regrowing it which, I hear, is possible. It was torture tearing mine off but it granted me what I wanted and so it was completely worth it. Imagine slowly tearing off your own arm by tugging it and you'll get a general idea," With a wince, the young Saiyan betrayed the level of agony he'd advocated for. The memory wasn't new nor was it raw but it had left an invisible scar none the less, a reminder but the tolerance for pain he'd been granted gave him a unique advantage on a psychological level.
Marrow uttered her shortened story, it was one that was fraught with interesting twists, it seemed she was much like an insect in the way she'd evolved through stages. "There are people three times my power that exist, so don't fret; you have many more to meet in terms of overlord like energy. Say can you revert your forms too, say if you needed to hide?" Scarlet seemed to emit a lustful if not unique descriptive terms for her body and a laugh drew from levlidian like blood would a wound, "Sexy legs huh, well, it takes all kinds huh? as for those Dinosaurs Marrow, I saw a fair few about here not too long ago and defeated one to cook myself a meal. If you look hard enough, you'll see them but be careful, the majority are predators,"
"If we were to spar, us three, I'd hold back. I enjoy learning people's styles and I fight on a daily basis with all sorts from different spectrum in power. If you ever need a training partner or a few pointers I'm happy to help. Else wise I'd refer you to my Master Hinawa, she taught me a fair bit about combat and how to control my primordial rage. It's a fun prospect, to learn from a Human who can become a Fox and she's quite the looker," A flare of his obsidian eyes dance to Scarlet and his grin seemed partly tained by his own opinion. "It's something to consider, I'm sure there are other teachers about it the two of you ever want to study Martial Arts,"
This conversation was nice, it had been a long few weeks and conversation was sparse up here in the beautiful mountains, seldom parting his gaze from the two Androids, Levlidian couldn't help but find himself wondering just how many of their kind trotted around this Earth. It would be a great thing if he could find more; "As I said, i defend this planet so it's unlikely I'd hurt either of you without good reason; chill out. You're starting to make -me- nervous,"

Marrow blushes a bit as Scarlet reaffirmed their friendship. But she did smile. She had felt somewhat awkward when she had mined to the question and Marrow had seemingly disregarded it. It did make her wonder a bit of she had gotten the wrong impression.even if it was a bit late, it was nice for the awkwardness to go away. And affirmed it fairly vehemently at that, which is why Marrow had smiled.
Marrow nodded visibly as he spoke on dividing himself. It made perfect sense. And beside, if he divided himself too much, well, each price would be to weak to be of use against a powerful foe. Not only that, but each piece would be very easy to kill. She was quite curious and wanted to ask. But? At the same time, it seemed rude. Asking what would happen if his clone died could basically be asking what his weakness was. Marrow has no real desire to risk that. So far he has been a sparkling font of information, not only about his own race, but ki abilities in general. She had learned how to distinguish most of his race, she had learned not only was do in i by yourself temporarily possible, but it was downright doable. At the same time she had learned that one weakness of it at least was making too many meant controlling them all got harder and harder. And that each split gave 50% to each clone. So presumably, splitting into 4 would give each 25%
And the flow of knowledge continued he went to describe the tails weaknesses. And th i d let her know some important fact. If anyone ever turned into a giant monkey and attacked her, aim for the tail. It was the tail that gave them their ability to do that. It was moderately intriguing to hear that they could grow it back, but she supposed it was better than no weakness at all. Marrow herself flinched slightly at the description. ”Ow…. I’ve lost a limb before… I know the feeling… and I guess… it’s only fair that I return the favor… some bio androids can regrow body parts… so… look out for that. And often have tails that can be used to absorb a person. I think I’ve hear scarlet say some can enclose you whole, but my experience has been that of… Err… absorbing ki and body fluids… so… if you're injured watch out for it. But… I don’t think it can practically be done on a foe with a lot of fight left in them. So… If your ever badly hurt around a bio Android, watch the tail more than anything else.
Marrow hoped She wasn’t betraying Scarlet by saying this. But he had given them really helpful tips against his own race. Fair was fair right? ”It just… Seems fair you know? You gave us valuable advice for if we were attacked by your race… so… It seems fair to return the favor. It just feels like the right thing to do. You didn’t have to help us.”
Marrow took a moment to think over his question as she said this. Could she revert back to her old form? She didn’t know. ”I don't know if I could… but I don’t think so. This change seems to be permanent.” She nodded along as Scarlet said mostly the same thing, except without a larval form. Marrow took a moment to consider what he’d said. And she supposed… there was little point worrying. If he was going to kill her he could do it anyway, rather in spar or out. There was no real reason to decline. She looked briefly towards Scarlet, back towards him, and not indecision was plain on her face. ”Well…. I don't know.. But I don’t want to waist Scarlet’s time.” Marrow Smiled indecisively before remembering something. ”Thanks for the advice… to be honest I’ve never caught in this form before… I know how, on some level, purely by instinct. I’m guessing whoever… made me… put that there.” Marrow listened as Scarlet spoke, ready to memorize any names given.

It was interesting to have such information revealed unto him, Levlidian seemed to listen intently and tilted his head in kind as he'd absorb it all, the notion itself took his entirety to exhibit naught but a short, blooming smile. These two were truly unique and oddly naive, it had been quite a while since he'd spoken with such abundance of vocal energy, the way they spoke and uttered you'd never guess they were anything short of young. Surely, it was true that ones appearance was a mediocre way to judge one and as a thanks to their information; the Saiyan bowed his head. The respect was undeniable and only had the Saiyan opt to lessen his stance to one of laziness, each arm fell to his sides and he slumped whilst pocketing his hands.
"You're kind, odd, but kind to share with me as I do to you. Honestly, I share with you because I know what most of my species are like and violence come naturally. I don't mind telling you that I despise most of them because of it, I don't want to be like that anymore. true enough competition is important to me but I won't kill or injure just for personal gain," There was no reason for Lev' to share this, however he found himself strangely trusting of both marrow and Scarlet. Honestly, a sane being would question them based entirely upon their appearance; "I'm no Hero-" he smiled as he spoke, a wise flare entering the way he spoke, "-But I'm no saint either, you have my respect for treating me as a normal being,"
With an exhale, freeing himself of the chains of his deep admittance, a last ditch effort to lessen the tension he'd look to his right and spy a bird. The brown and redness of its breast fascinated him for a moment, the obsidian of his eyes drew to the dirt and then back to the two women he held converse with. "Do either of you have any goals for the future, y'know, beyond surviving and human Milkshakes," a note of amusement entered his voice nodding towards the last utterance being a joke. "It's good to have a few goals, a short term, a long term and the achievable; it gives you a road to follow and it looks to me as though a lot of your wandering is just that; wandering. Now bare with me, I haven't identified anyone else who would teach Martial Arts. I have only ever found Hinawa and she aided in turning me from a monstrous Saiyan hell bent on power and into the wise man before you," Shrugging idly, he allowed his grin to re-emerge a long side the canines that resided within his maw.
"You were made?" Lev' focused entirely on Marrow a moment, "Hm, well they probably had other ideas for you but good on your for following your own path. More people need to do that," again the attention shifted, Scarlet lay within the chocolate maned beasts vision and he shrugged; "As for the stronger souls, most of them are good people from what I saw at the Tournament, evil is severely lacking around here and it concerns me as balance can't be made without both. Don't get me wrong, i don't wish for bad things but balance is important too," Wow when did the discussion get so deep, with a sigh he'd withdraw a hand and hold up his hand, palm outspread where a deep hum began to generate. Molecules danced, vibrating at an accelerated rate whilst his own electromagnetic field intensified. The manipulation lay at a kinetic level, all of it came together as a singular orb formulated with his palm flanked by the lashes of a neon blue flame.
"Are either of you any good at Ki manipulation? i sense power from both of you, an energy sitting on latent potential but I'm curious as to how good you both are at manipulating it,"

Marrow listed as Scarlet took her turn. She continued Marrow’s topic. In fact she added quite a few helpful tips of her own and she had to admit she was glad Scarlet didn’t have a problem with her revealing such things about their own race. Some would feel she was a traitor, but… well, she felt it was necessary. Kindness deserves kindness in turn. She was probably being niece but if he wasn’t how he said he was, he could crush her into a paste anyway, so there was nothing to gain by secrecy on such a topic.
Marrow gave a nod as he spoke of his own species again. She was glad he talked of it, she was glad he gave her such a forewarning. She would question it as racist if not from whom the warning of the species tend to violence came from. ”Well… I have little experience but… me and Scarlet met another of our kind named Jinzon… and… he seemed to lack and knowledge of right and wrong… I get what he said about legal systems being flawed and such, but he killed men just because his dead creator left a mission for him when she died before he was… well… Ready? Anyway, he killed those who were remorseful… I don’t think he’s evil… He just seems emotionally deficient. He spoke of softness and by extension kindness as… traits not worth showing because it serves no end and gets you taken advantage of him… I wonder how much emotional capacity be has… He seems to have no clue what right and wrong are and what to do about it. I say this not to shame him but… If that's a thing that can happen, then some may be outright or fully evil/violent, you may meet violence from our kind… And as you hate those of your kind like that, the same goes for me. I’d not like to hear someone of my own species got to you…”
She thought as Scarlet spoke. What was her goal? Hmmm…”I guess mine is to explore now that I finally can. I want to see what this planet has to offer. Jungles, desert, tundra. I want to swim in an ocean… then someday do the same things on this “Namek” Scarlet told me about. During all that I want to grow stronger. I want to be able to do the right thing, or stop others from doing… Well… Murder and such I suppose. After all that… I don’t know.”
Marrow watched and felt the no and the energy, thankfully not like it was an attack. She let Scarlet speak first. ”Well… I can sense ki or power or whatever you want to call it. But you know that because you lowered your power level for me before I called down. I can use ki to fly, and I too can shoot a beam, though not just from my tail. But that's it. If you have any pointers I’d be all to happy to learn.”

(I bet you forgive me! I’ve been sick and other things, then grandpa's been in the hospital and just had surgery today, he’s fine, and because my topics stalled I kinda started to drift away from the forum. I don’t mean to make excuses! I could have posted, I was just too distracted. It’s entirely my fault. I hope you forgive me the epic wait time of 2 weeks. If you are willing I would love to continue with the promise of keeping it fast. My apologies. If not and you want it to end, that's fine, I just hope we can to again, I greatly enjoy rping with you. If you choose to end it, i’d like Zeni)

Marrow and Scarlet were drawing a healthy level of interest from the young Saiyan and as the two Bio'Droids turned to converse and in turn answer him, his palm softened and the energy dissipated with a minor pop. "Pointers, well, when you manipulate you actually affect the realm around you. The energy however comes from within, look inside yourself from time to time, reflect and meditate if you're so inclined; you'll find your control grows with control over yourself,". It was ironic that he worded it this way but the beast soon found himself reflecting upon the growing problem of his own temper. How often had he lost it, allowed the inner flames to envoke a corruption about his choices; too many times to be sure.
"If I'm honest, despite my positive tendencies towards being good, my temper does get the best of me; the curse of a Saiyan," he laughed and slowly courted his sash with the ridges of his thumbs, shifting weight from one boot to the next. "Firing Ki from anywhere is proper manipulation, typical creatures can't access their ki at all, poor creatures," he regarded both as he spoke, answering questions as a whole rather than one after the other. "The fact you can fly Marrow and sense energy tells me you're farther a long; however that can change if you don't keep up with training, so stay sharp huh?"
The chuckle came again, it was strange, he'd never been this calm towards many but these two actually regarded him as a normal person, it was common place to find others hating or acting with mistrust purely based on his blood line. "Honestly I'm not shocked there are Saiyans like that. Emotionally deficient indeed and unfortunately it may cease him gaining our legendary Warrior status; a Super Saiyan," with a disgruntled sigh he began to scratch his mane with his freed, right paw; "That's what i seek actually, however I've not worked out the kinks, I can get half way but then I stop. I can't help but think I'm missing something; so the search continues,"
"What of you two, can you transform into other versions of yourselves? I heard you could, I even know one such creature who can but; she's elusive at best,"

Marrow listened carefully. He had some valid points to be sure. It was perhaps a shame when Scarlet admitted she wasn’t the meditation type of person. But, who was she to judge anyone? She wasn’t sure. ”Well… I can meditate well enough. I spent a year or two in what amounts to a cage.during that time I had practically nothing to I so, it started from just entering a sort of trance to pass time faster and after a while I just learned to guide it myself. I suppose I was always aware of my bodily energy, but I gained the ability to sense others no and use it while meditating. So, fortunately for me, I can meditate. It’s nice, especially when you are bored. Time doesn’t pass the same way as normal while I am doing it frequently. Well I should say my perception of time passing isn’t the same. I clearly don’t control time.”
Marrow remembered Scarlet using that very ability, quite a lot. ”I must say when I first saw her so it…. I was a bit creeped out. When I first met her I was standing on a roof and felt her no, presence, whatever just fluidly slithering up the wall. It was weird.” Marrow smiled and playfully poked Scarlet. She wasn’t sure what she thought of the name itself. It seemed a bit childish to just add ‘'super’ to a name. She had to admit she had wondered why when he said that, but whatever his race had named it, she supposed he I had to go along or no one would understand what he meant. She almost said ‘Don’t you mean ‘'super” maximum oversaiyan?’ But decided not to lightly tease him about it. It wasn’t like he named it right? ”So what is that form supposed to look like? I hope it’s not just a recoloring of your current form. Dear god my first transformation would have sucked if I was still basically in my larval form but with a new paint job. Then again…. Your tails turn saiyans into monkeys right? So maybe super saiyan is half monkey half what you are now? Hmmm.” But no that would mean he couldn’t achieve super saiyan without a tail and he said he could. Marrow shook her head slightly in denial of her own question.

(Sorry it’s a bit short, there isn’t much to reply to it seems, or my muse is being fickle. I think the prior but it could be the latter.)

Levlidian couldn't help but laugh at the pair, each had their own unique take on his transformation and yet they posed some good points; "You know what, I don't actually know what a Super Saiyan even looks like. I can go half way and my aura dons a golden hue whilst my hair stands on end; apparently I lose all colour in my eyes too," with a meek shrug the man would unfold his arms and pocket his hand sin kind. "It won't be such an extreme transformation as our Oozaru I know that. So perhaps it is a colour change but the power it carries is enormous," his eyes trail over the pair whilst they'd converse, the more they did so the more it became obvious they were quite good friends and in the wake of another bluster of could air; Levlidian began to speak.
"Well when it comes to learning abilities-" Levlidian looked to Scarlet, she seemed anxious to gain power or at least anxious to learn, "-I find practice and preparation works best, though not everyone likes to meditate. So maybe if you could learn to separate yourself as I can then you'd have the perfect training partner for such things,". The young Saiyan's brow furrows further, "Though if you can hide yourself, sensing others shouldn't be too hard to learn. Hiding your own energy is much harder to do,". This was curious, they seemed to make a perfectly good team, had they been stronger the beast might even have been more cautious in approach. "Oh! Are we also guessing on names now?" his grin ever widening, "I don't...know if ther eis anything beyond Super Saiyan; I certainly haven't heard nor thought about it. Now that you mention it, I may have to look into that. Knowing my race it'd be named something less- profound and less creative,"
"I'm a Saiyan, I don't think we're half and half of anything; just another form of humanoid," again his brow sank in thought, it was a fair observation but with a sigh he'd shake his head; "I'm not sure if we are half and half anyway. I'm full blooded and wholly a Warrior of Planet Vegeta,". Suddenly his complexion brightens and the beasts hands free themselves. "I could teach you both, how to sense and how to fly; it'd beat standing around discussing it don't you think?". Already he was taking a few steps back, seeking the perfect position was a difficult task upon a mountain and yet he found a flat surface within the opening they stood. Rounding on his heel, the young Saiyan allowed his energy to suddenly burst from within.
About the length of his frame came the betrayal of a hum as the mlecules about him began to vibrate, expanding the electromagnetic field in side him saw the beast grunt once before his inferno of pure red ki engulfed the lean frame he'd shaped. "What do you say? Care to learn something new?" he asked excitedly. From under his flesh and bleeding to the surface was his natural inclination towards learning. He loved it, teaching too was an endeavour he'd once considered and after all; if he could help these pair perhaps they'd be able to aid him in the future.

Marrow smiled slightly. Good to know. She supposed if it was merely a color change it wouldn’t really matter. Besides no one with any amount of experience with ki would be paying attention to looks to see how strong someone was. It was obvious if you had the sense. Unless you hid it. ”So that's a good point Scarlet brought up…. I clearly don’t know Saiyan culture…. And not does Scarlet it seems, though more than I do no doubt. So Aside from not galloping them monkeys… what should I not do in front of a saiyan? Are there any words or gestures they find offensive I should learn about? I’d rather not make that mistake… and culture in varying areas of this world differ, I can only imagine planet cultures differ any more. I'd rather not whistle while walking under a willow and thereby offend some saiyan’s deity and get blasted into chunks by an angry saiyan calling me a heretic...”
Marrow listened to Levlidian attentively. ”Why is it harder to hide your energy than to sense others? And that should probably be something I learn to do. I mean, If I made my ki seem incredibly low, I could probably be mistaken for an animal even if they couldn’t see me. Could be useful. And splitting yourself could too. It could also help you see your own weaknesses and learn how you could be exploited. I should learn that as well, for training at least.” Marrow smiled excitedly. ”I’d love to learn anything you want to teach!”
Marrow watched them both, listening as Scarlet spoke. ”That may be true… but flying is great for travel. And in a fight you’d have a horrible disadvantage. If you caught someone who could fly they could easily just pelt you with ki blasts and such, and retreat into the air from attacks. It kinda gives them 3d maneuverability where without flight you can can’t really go up or down, just left, right, to forward, and backward. Sure you could possibly dodge and such better on land but if they took a gorilla warfare type stance with quick attacks them retreats to the air… You’d have problems i’d imagine.” Marrow made note to practice more with flying. She hadn’t used it much, thinking it would be nearly impossible to travel together if she was in the air and Scarlet wasn’t.
