"Capper's Normal Dialogue"
'Capper's Telepathy'
'Capper's Thoughts'
THE GREAT UNKNOWN
It had been a few hours since the... failed journey to gather the Dragonballs on Namek. Capper sat in the hull of the ship, fumbling with parts of machinery. Long, flexible pipes, jars of a strange, cyan liquid with an eerie glow, and plenty of white panels, glass pieces, and other gizmos and gadgets. The saiyan lied on his back, his feet kicking a little while he examined a blueprint for a Rejuvenation Chamber. Biting his teeth, the saiyan's heart still hammered in his chest. It was all on him now. Etoru's life was in the tiny saiyan's hands. And boy, was it stressful.
Turning his head around with a worried expression, Capper would eye Etoru's limp, dismembered form with a pang of shame and sorrow. It he hadn't insisted on going to Namek- if he hadn't been the selfish clod, this would have never happened. It was his fault his mother died, it was his fault Etoru was incapacitated, it was his fault the Saiyan Solar Empire would fall, it was his fault Xylo won. But the truth hurt sometimes. His friend didn't deserve this.
Capper's mind trailed to his family on Vegeta... What were they thinking right now? Worry over him and his mother? Anger? Sorrow? Capper's broken scouter sparked in rebuttal when he hovered his finger over the button the call his father. He couldn't let them know that he failed. He couldn't let them know his mother-- his father's wife-- died this day. He was no Solar Saiyan, and he sure as hell was no Hofferson. Just a traitorous clod with only one thing to loose.
Yet, a new fire burned inside Capper. At heart, he wanted to go back to his family still, and he wanted to stop being a burden, however he could even do that to begin with. He still wanted to fight back, to help! The tiny mechanic was tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching helplessly, unable to do a thing to help his friends without screwing them over. Train...? The engineer would now consider it.
Capper began to place a few white panels on the outer shell of the half-built Rejuvenation Chamber hastily, picking up a drill and sliding several bolts into place. It was hard to prioritize speed with his crappy vision, as the result of his cracked Scouter. His mother's shoulder guard, while once tied around his own shoulder, was now tightly tied around Etoru's missing arm as a tourniquet. Every ten minutes or so, Capper would always check on his friend's condition to make sure he was still alive. He just wished he could have done more...
Setting down the blueprints for the Rejuvenation Chamber, Capper would eye a few of his own sketches for a robot arm and leg for Etoru. He had began to draw some concepts right after they left, but then decided to prioritize healing his friend.
Looking quite hopeless and glum still, Capper knew Etoru's future was still grim. He put the ship's boosters into full effect to hasten to Earth, pushing aside his concerns about fuel conservation. It was likely they might crash now, but they had to get to Earth before his friend's blood loss took full effect. He made a promise that they would survive. And Capper was going to do everything in his power to keep that promise. Turning his head around, the saiyan would raise a brow in concern as he eyed Etoru's limp form in the hull's seat... No. He was alive. He was going to survive. His mother couldn't make it... But Etoru was still here. And Capper wouldn't be a burden this time.

THUMP
THUMP THUMP
THUMP....THUMP THUMP
The sound of his unsteady heart beat echoed through his head. Everything felt dizzy as if he were at sea. Etoru slowly opened his eyes to see Capper working on some weird tank before everything went black again. His breathing quickened for a bit, before he opened his eyes again. He saw Capper at the controls, fiddling with it or something. His vision was blurry so he couldn't really tell if they actually went faster or not.
Etoru let out a weak cough. He stared at Capper with half open eyes and labored breathing. How long was he out for...? Etoru looked at his missing leg at his left. He noticed Capper tied it up with Etoru's bandana. The child slowly set his gaze on his missing forearm to his right. It had a rather familiar looking shoulder guard. Oh right...Chire. Etoru looked at Capper for a few moments, catching whatever breath he could find. He grit his teeth, not even able to face Capper's gaze. "C...C-Capper I'm...I'm so sorry..." Etoru's eyes welled up a bit. He let out a slight cough again, wincing in pain.
If Etoru had paid more attention, Capper's mom would be alive right now. He made a promise, and he broke it. He wouldn't blame Capper if he wanted to break his by keeping him alive. Why couldn't he just have been stronger? How couldn't he realize she might have not been able to block that attack. He couldn't even keep his word, and now not just Capper's mother, but everyone was dead.

"Capper's Normal Dialogue"
'Capper's Telepathy'
'Capper's Thoughts'
THE GREAT UNKNOWN
Capper stared out of the domed glass hull of the Aurora, eyeing the ship as the wings on the side hissed and rumbled, fanning out while energy crackled, arcing up and above the hull. The ship jostled as it picked up in pace, the new wings of energy flapping out and sparkling every now and then. A gauge could be seen lowering at a quickened pace now on the monitor of the ship-- a fuel meter upon closer examination. Capper sighed for a moment, crouching down and beginning to flip several levers to shut down some unnecessary systems so they could have enough fuel to reach the distant blue marble he once loathed. Rubbing his hands together, Capper stared at the new boosters with a faint sense of pride-- he did build the Aurora from the ground up. It was one of his greatest creations, after all!
However, the saiyan would jolt, tail spiking up and with it's hairs standing on end when he heard a cough behind him. Whipping around so quickly that some of his hair smacked him in the face, Capper would eye the now conscious Etoru with morbid concern. He wasn't supposed to wake up this soon! The saiyan bit his nails for a moment-- he couldn't even begin to fathom how much pain Etoru was in right now, all because of him.
Capper was reminded of the time he lost his leg for a moment, and how much that hurt. The phantom pains lasted for days on end, and it took Capper weeks to learn how to walk properly with his peg leg. Was that how Chire felt when she lost her leg? Once again reminded of his mother, Capper would glance off to the side and wipe away some droplets that hadn't trickled down his cheek yet. Kami, he missed his mother already... He'd glance off to the seat Chire had fallen asleep in during the ride here and frown, but be snapped back to reality when his best friend forced out... an apology?
It seemed both of the friends blamed themselves for the mistakes made on Namek. But it was mostly Capper's fault, and he didn't want his friend to feel bad anymore! Loosing not one, but TWO limbs was bad enough!! This was not the time for an existential crisis! "What?" Capper questioned, somewhat shocked for a moment. "No, no! It was my fault, and I'm the one who should be sorry. You did everything you could, unlike me..." Capper spoke, rushing over to Etoru, staring at him right in the eyes for a mere moment before glancing off to the side in pain. He couldn't stand to see his friend like this... Sighing, the saiyan seemed to slump over, rubbing the shoulder his mother's shoulder pad would have been on. "I should have never... selfishly brought you and Mom to Namek for my dumb wish anyways." Capper spoke, shame and guilt running through his veins.
Turning around, Capper stared out at the stars. The ship was passing by several nebulae, illuminating the vessel's grounds with an array of colors. He'd stare up at the stars in the sky on Earth for hours on end so long ago, longing for his return to his family. Yet now, the saiyan could barely bring himself to think about them... "Look. Just conserve your stamina for now. Don't waste it talking to me, of all people. I'm sure you have a family on Earth that's awful worried about you..." Capper commented, continuing to stare up at the skies above.
