Set After the solo: PL 231,000 Energy Setting Initiated: PL 1000 Takeshii The young Saiyan, Levlidian soared above a city he hadn't seen in so very long it almost shocked him at how much had -not- changed, same buildings, same noise and he sneered to the lacking in development. Back on Vegeta, things were always changing from what he could remember which was attributed to their superiority or, because they destroyed everything daily. With a meek shrug and a rotation of his form he merely grinned to the joke he'd made unto himself and closed his eyes. It had been a difficult few days, locked either within the chamber fighting amassed Gravity or sweeping low as he'd perfect his Kata; such was the Saiyan way to develop one self into the perfect Warrior and with his Super Saiyn form now amply under control- he could finally bring himself back to the table as a fighter. Down he swept, closer to the streets when a new Power level drew into his mind- it caused the man to freeze in place and his budding young good mood to plummet into dread. Swiftly, with his singular working eye and lean figure adverting like a spinning top, Lev' sought out the source and spied the buildings afar. With a deep set growl, the Saiyan allowed his aura to leak from his inner workings, a blood red ki swept about him luring the molecules about the beats to vibrate and hum, their tenacity accelerated the air about him and with a roar his power - depleted to minuscule levels- burst from him and entombed the black Gi wearing Saiyan in the colour of blood. A deep thrum emitted as he floated forwards, adjusting his trajectory as a plume of water, a cloud swept aside him dispersing with a thunderous boom and he was off towards this source. His chocolate mane whipped out of his scarred visage, this power, he'd felt it on Vegeta all those years ago but they were younger then- weaker. However the feeling was unmistakable, this was a family tightly knitted with his own and with their demise it had only been a matter of time. The issue was that who ever had come for him was considerably weaker than he. There was no doubt they must be hiding their strength and from him? That made them truly terrifying. Down onto an empty street he came, tearing through the sky and crashing to Earth with another boom of thunderous intent, the entrance was everything and as he rose from kneeling, fist ploughed into the dirt. The young Saiyan peered about, nothing, there was no one and the energy had vanished. What was that? Allowing his Ki to dissipate and spark into nothing with a low thrum, the youthful male stepped form that small crater and wandered a moment down the street. About him billowed the length of his Kimono like Gi and his baggy black pants attributed to the same infernal breeze that sought re-entry after his super hero-esk entrance. The concrete walls all about him carried no signs of a fight, no signs of anything aside several pieces of debris that swept past thm from his arrival. Again he'd sigh, placing both fingerless gloves paws about his waist and drawing his powerful chest out for a deep exhale. "You're seeing hosts Lev'," he muttered and closed his singular eye, allowing himself to cam and grant a grounding poise, the beast soon began down the street and pocketed his hands with a furrowed brow. From within those flesh caverns peeled his eye and the milk white joined it for once- he'd grown used to seeing only half the world, the ability to sense ones essence granted him all the sight he needed in combat but right now- he could use seeing the entire picture. Again the winds courted him and the mane he wore swept to shadow his complexion; what had spawned that hallucination? He'd always been paranoid of them coming for him eventually but such a thing had never- well besides that one time he had a fever. However, they had never physically manifested like this, he needed to get a grip. Pinching the bridge of his nose with fore finger and thumb, Levlidian paused and leaned into the offered placement of his hand and scowled. "You're a Saiyan, a warrior, get a damn grip,". Freeing his brow and standing up straight, the beast tilted his head upwards and centred himself again, he allowed the wash of frustration and rage to feed into the flames he owned deep within and funnelled his emotions clear; if it had been a premonition? Those eyes re-opened as the rain began to fall. Singular droplets at first peppered his complexion and tilted his Gi, as though the sky itself pitied the paranoid man and he began to laugh. "Irony at it's best," he mused and merely closed his eyes, furrowed his brow but smiled to enjoy the lashing of cold water that lavished him. The Earth was a strange place- the Earth was a Master at taming the untameable.

PL: 3830 LevlidianTakeshii had spent a little more time sitting in that bar after the incident with the two younger Saiyan. Things had been quiet afterwards, and she was able to enjoy her wine with little to no interference from outside sources. However, the lack of ANYTHING going on was starting to bore her, and she could slowly feel herself going batty. She sighed, pushing herself from the booth she had been sitting in, and made her way back out into the rain soaked streets of the city. Her booted feet moved near soundlessly, other than the occasional squishing sound of water oozing around the leather as she stepped in a puddle here or there. She was clad in little more than her leather body suit, fitting over her form like a second skin. It was a comfort to her, allowing her the freedom of movement, with little to hinder her. Now, mind you, it did draw some attention from time to time, but it was not anything she could not handle...or at least try to handle in most cases. It was that thundering boom that caught her attention, something familiar about it that she just could not put her finger on. Her gaze began to shift, warm chocolate oozing over the street as she tried to focus on where the sound was coming from. Her form shifted a bit, moving to the shadows in which she liked to hide. Unlike many of her kind, she liked to remain quiet, calm, collected...pooling her energy and rage for when she needed it most. Though, you piss her off enough, and there was no accounting for the rage that would surface from that slight feminine form. The shadows swallowed her like a long lost lover, wrapping her up in their darkness as she swiftly moved down the street, intent on moving to the source of that sound she had heard. The drifting of occasional pieces of stone and glass were the only indication of the direction she was supposed to take, and where that dust came...she would follow. Her steps closed as she neared the alleyway that she had seen the dust flying out of. Stopping at the corner of the building, she would peer around the edge, letting that warm gaze drift within the shadows, and that is when that gaze fell upon Levlidian. HE WAS HERE! She would recognize him anywhere, he having always been haughty, cocky, thinking he was better than everyone else. It had been one of the reasons he had not been chosen to join their families, his older brother having been offered such. However, Levlidian having killed him off and several of the others had left a sour taste in Takeshii's mouth. She curled herself back against the wall, her fingers curling in against the building, causing some of the stone to crumble beneath the grip of her fingers. As she breathed, an aura of the deepest violet would begin to surround her, wrapping around her with gently caresses, yet sparked with an anger that she could barely contain. "Breathe Takeshii...it is too soon...too soon. He can not possibly know you are here yet."Her words were softly spoken, only loud enough for herself to hear really, and more a way for her to talk herself down from just jumping from that wall and attacking the man that she had come there for in the first place. No...she had to think smart. What would be the easiest way for her to bring this man down and prove to the others that she had not been sent on some futile task? She would shift on her feet, peering around the building once again, and carefully eyeing everything about that narrow street. The archways, the alcoves, the balconies. Any place that would be a good vantage point for her to be able to finally confront him. It was then that she noticed the balcony, about five stories up and jutting out over the alley way. It would allow her the bit of an advantage she needed. Aura would shift and she would take to the air, the breeze billowing about her and sending her long dark hair curling about her shoulders. She moved swiftly, quietly, not even close to that super hero entrance that Levlidian had done. No, for her it was all about stealth. She was the whispered seduction in your ear, the one you did not know what coming until it was too late. Feet descended to the balcony below and she would stop to peer over the edge, looking down at the man she hunted. For several moments she watched him, she waited. She noticed the nervous agitation, and she knew that she was getting to him. This brought a curl to her lips. Oh how she wanted him to worry, to fear that moment when she would finally make herself known to him. Would he be ready for her? Only time would tell...but for now she just watched...and waited.

The moment was passing, steady pitter patter was relaxing to him and such a thing was hard to come by when that spark of an energy signature sent his rested self back into the territory of tension. Sweeping his head to the right and for a shadowed crevice but- it was gone again. Had they moved? he could feel it, that swelling rage of a Saiyan pulsating deep within the crevice of a persons being. Drat, his emotions were coating him, blanketing his ability, how was it so easy? he'd mastered controlling his own energy as a god damn Super Saiyan. Why was it so difficult to upkeep his ability when simply sensing a person. "I can feel you!" he roared and his aura exploded about his form. A deep hum vented as his power level fluctuated into being and the beast rounded on his heel to face the opposite direction. Sensing hadn't been a fine art in any case, simply feeling a person couldn't pinpoint the position- not even the greatest had managed such a thing but this Saiyan was irritable as it was.
"I know you're there! Show yourself, sneaking around isn't very Saiyan of you. Did you leave your pride behind when you came down to Earth!" again he roared with provocation in mind, "-or are you too weak to stand up against your superior!". With that came a vent of energy, debris tore through the street but still, the young Saiyan kept his power level low. This soul, it hadn't the capacity he possessed which suggested they were ample powerful to them. "If you think following a dead mans orders give you honour, runt, you're wrong! Show yourself!". This was getting stupid. Even with the steady flow of the rain from above- not a sound could be heard, he hated this, indirect association was his bane, stealthiness, sneaking- cowards tactics as far as he was concerned; at least when used on him. Else wise, another strategy especially an Allie was all to serve the cause he was part of- not that he had one beyond going to Namek.
"Are you too weak to fight a Saiyan head on? Come out or I'll start blowing this place to smithereens just to find you!" A clear bluff but if they responded to anything, Saiyan's responded to violence. Here he was throwing the bravado and lowering himself with one paw extended like talons, a fist folded to his waist and the horse stance up taken to lower his position. "I'll give you till the count of five, then I start peppering this fucking city with blasts until your pathetic city is exposed!" he began to fine tune his aura. The crimson hue coiled around him like an inferno, lashing at the ground and air- licking the rain and distorting it's presence. "One!" he roared and the aura spat angrily as his brow sank, "two!" the energy itself began to writhe and fine tune, pirouetting about him faster to the sound of a keen thrum. "Three!" drawing back, formulating one paw as a set of talons, the other resting it's knuckles and facing out before it splayed just as the once Prince, then King Vegeta had done.
"Four!" a neon blue ball formulated it's hue flanked by that of blood red flame and it bulged, swelled as his aura sped rapidly about him, Levlidian's hair stood erect with the whisk of the breeze and his gi fluttered angrily about him as he aimed at a random building. Still it grew, filling his palm and extending past his forearms. If this bluff didn't work, he'd be exposed as a fraud- no he couldn't feel anyone in the building ahead of him. In fact he couldn't feel anyone but this person who felt so- familiar. This was good, he'd aim at this building though the energy signature couldn't be pinpointed- he was sure it was the only one around. The rain swelled and perverted with the energy he exhumed, allowing it to creep up in order to show he had more power but keep it lower than the woman he knew- lurked but had no idea just how close to home her appearance would strike.

AH the joys of watching the raging and clearly frustrated Saiyan spend his precious energy. It was a joy to watch if truth be told, but it was not why she was here, not even close. She would click her tongue against her teeth, letting her own anger and hatred towards the man she hunted build. She was not going to waste that energy until she knew it was time. This was a dance they played, two warriors...one bound by fear and anxiety...the other bound by her hatred towards the man that had thrown away the chance to unite their families and grow even more powerful within the empire. Now, a man she had admired before, was little more than someone she hated...and pitied. She waited for several more moments, before her voice would finally rise above the din of his aura and permeate through that rain and thunder that echoed around them.
"LEVLIDIAN!"
It was simply his name that came from her lips, but it bounced off the walls, making it hard to tell exactly where it came from. Her own violet aura was swirling about her, and in a moment she pushed herself off of that balcony, and like a bullet speeding through that rain slicked sky, she would drop to the ground, causing the ground to shudder beneath her as she landed with a force not unknown for the Saiyan. Before him she stood, fingers curled into familiar fists as she focused her raw energy upon him and only him. Everything else failed to exist, even the brush of those rain drops that fell upon her tanned flesh. The hair on top of her head had risen to spikes, poking out and making her look like a porcupine. Again that voice would come, seeming to be fueled by nothing more than that rage and hatred she felt towards the man.
"LEVLIDIAN! DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HIDE FOREVER? DID YOU THINK WE WOULD NOT FIND YOU...THAT I WOULD NOT FIND YOU?
The rage blew from her like a deadly explosion of energy, her ki being fiercely focused as she balled her hands up to even tight fists and charged. With all the power she could muster, the Saiyan would move like lightning, streaking across the ground and aiming her fist right for that abdomen of the male she now despised. Someone she had considered a friend before, now having turned into little more than an enemy. At one point, she had trusted him. At one point, she had almost considered him family...not now...not after everything he had done. He had destroyed it all with his actions, and now..HE WOULD PAY! It was the crack of sound heard as she leaped from the ground, that would now echo around them, their two auras co-mingling in a fierce dance of rage and energy.
"Why? Why did you do it Levlidian? Were you jealous of your own brother? Jealous that he might have that chance to bring our families together? WHY?"
It was not just the anger and rage that rolled through her in that moment, but also a sadness that had been left hidden for so very long. Only those that knew her well would truly be able to know and understand those feelings that were rolling through her. She could do little more than focus on this at the moment. Focus all of her emotions and energy to taking down the man that had betrayed not only her family, but her as well.

He heard his name, the sudden injection of familiarity had the Saiyan at a loss and his attack subsided, there she was striking the stone with severity that allocated her race even before he'd seen her ape like tail. A growl escaped his chest, aura racing about him as a flickering, dangerous blaze even asserting to take a stride for her. "Jealous!?" the strike hit as he was thrown by the accusation. Fist mingled with exposed flesh and he slid back from the outburst, scarred more than he'd ever been, his milk white eye blank, desolate of reaction and yet in his obsidian orb flared a dangerous rage. "Jealous of what? His ego? No, I wanted to be free- free of everything our pathetic little race considered the norm',". Shaking off her attack, rage blustering through him and filling the air he let loose another snarl. "They came to take me home, my brother at least but I am not like them- I am not like you- I'm not some tool for the Empire, I'm free and I'm gong to remain that way!" Driving himself forward, sweeping across the stone he sought bludgeon the woman hard across the jaw.
She'd hit a nerve, not only did he not want to kill his brother but he didn't want to have to kill her either; but she spoke like 'they' did. betrayal what did she know of betrayal? A stuck up woman raised on out dated notions of Pride. from his fist came another, following the Kata he'd practised day in day out. From the fist came his dipping opposite elbow and he'd leap to finish sweeping round to hook her across the head with a spinning heel kick. regardless of the outcome he landed and spouted further. "Bring our families together? What do you think i am? I don't care, I never cared, Father raised me to be nothing short of a warrior-,". The temper that lay in him began to bleed through, "He betrayed me!" and the stone cracked beneath his boots as further power ebbed into his being but he fought for that control.
"So are you here to take me home, Takeshii? Yes I remember you. Damn little thing, following me around. I see nothing has changed!"; memories of the little girl trying to keep up with him and his brother. Climbing, fighting, eating ever one of the boys and here they stood years later- enemies. There was no hesitation in Levlidian, she was here for him to interrupt his peaceful existence with false beliefs his Father carried- that HER Father carried. "Ca'drual knew what he was getting into when he came for me Takeshii- now I've exceeded you all and without a god damn ounce of help from any of you. I don't NEED the Empire, it's outdated, useless and nothing short of Evil. Laying waste to planet after planet- you fight for that? I don't and I am going to crush it with my bare hands,"

She felt the impact of his fist against her jaw, sending her barreling back against the wall behind her, causing bricks to crumble away and fall to the ground behind her. She groaned a tad, but it would not be enough to stop her. Again those fists curled after she stretched them just enough to get a bit of the tension out of them. Two mighty fists would ball up, and using her ki she would shove them both forwards at the same time, sending that impact of energy right against his face this time. She was not going to take it easy on him, just as she knew he would not take it easy on her. That was not the way of the Saiyan...never would it be the way of the Saiyan. They were the power houses, trained for fighting and war.
"Yes jealous. You were always jealous of your brother Levlidian. Even though you had no reason to be. You can pretend like you were not all you want...but I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU!"
She snarled again towards him, her rage boiling in her now, almost reaching a pinnacle of anger that would cause her to explode. Her aura had grown around her now, spreading like a disease and encompassing the very streat they stood upon. It was a dark color, almost like a storm cloud curling over the ground and up over her body. She stood before him now, practically nose to nose with the male, and pushing herself against him with all of her strength. She thought she was doing pretty good, but as far as she could ascertain, he was not as strong as her. At least the energy she felt from him made it seem like that.
"You are no warrior Levlidian. You are a coward. One that can not even admit that he was wrong for what he did. Instead, he runs and hides...COWARD! Your father was a warrior...your brother was a warrior. I followed you around because I thought...I thought you would be a warrior too. Someone I could look up to and learn with. I was wrong. I WAS SO WRONG!"
She would reach up then to push him away from her, there being her anger, and also tears rolling from her eyes. She would not let him see the tears. She had too much pride inside to let him see those tears. She would take a deep breath, the shudder of it rolling through her as she tried to will herself to focus on the here and now...not on the past that they both had left behind by this point. She spun around again and would face him, her eyes dark as pitch and seeming to grow darker the longer that time passed.
"Have I come to take you back? Maybe. Or maybe I have just come here to kill you and get it over with. That would seem to be the better answer. Then I would never have to lay my gaze upon your face again."
Yes, there was an anger that boiled through her, but belying that anger was something else...something she had always hidden from in her past. She had liked Levlidian when they were younger. She had had a hope that things would have been different between them...but now. Now there was no chance that the bond that had been growing as kids would ever become as strong as she had hoped. She hated him...despised him for what he had done to their families.

Levlidian was holding back, each blow that sank into him did so with ease though the first he evaded, that second bludgeoned him hard senindg the young Saiyan careering into the building, a crack formed beneath the savage boom of his connecting flesh. Falling to the floor, he was soon up and darted in close and that was where they met, nose to nose. Takeshii shouted, she shoved him away and he staggered a step from it, she blamed him and his irritation only grew. "I am a Warrior, a warrior and I don't fight for an Empire who takes an entire race and turns them into slaves. We learned from the -worst-. My Father was no warrior, when it came down to it he chose to take me out with six other Elite's. It's fortunate that I was always a prodigy, a powerful unrelenting mass of rage else I'd be dead because of him. He feared me, Takeshii, he hated and feared me because I killed my Mother and I was showing far more promise than Ca'Drual ever did,"
There was that inner Saiyan as she turned and he faced her with a singular eye of rage, "You can't kill me, Takeshii," he stated bluntly, "You're far too weak- I am More than my brother, far more else why would he be dead and I lived? You're stepped out of your comfort zone little girl and if you're not careful- I'll put you down as well,". A rage began to form that he'd not felt in months. It was controlled, it was searing and feral and now the hunter had become the hunted, leaning into the power of his legs Levlidian exploded from his position. Soaring towards the older female he'd seek drive a fist hard for her complexion, this was followed by a savage shoulder thrust and he'd seemingly dissipate. Appearing behind her he'd strike again. Should he managed such they'd induce a moments worth of exchanges.
Amongst the flurries of fists and limbs, Lev' stared long into her, he could feel his Pride swelling, the need to prove himself; Takeshii summoned all the negativity he'd felt back on vegeta only bloom, swell, thus he'd break the fight and leap backwards to gain himself some stamina in the wake of it. About him his crimson aura raged a long sid eit's master, a steady inferno that entombed him and with a flex of his knuckles- he spoke. "You've been lied to, brainwashed, I was never jealous of them. I -hated- them, father treated me like a rag doll because Mother died, Brother despised me for the same thing. The only aspect I enjoyed as a child was the day -I- left all of that poison behind. I am sorry you think of me as nothing short of a monster now but they needed to pay for what they did to me,"
Shedding the to half of his Gi, the beast revealed his horribly scarred form, two tattoos of Kanji settled at the lower section of his honed abdomen and the top of his chest. One read Fox the other Iron, slipping his boots back into the stance of Horse, protruding his right paw like a talon and draiwng his fist to settle about his waist; Levlidian bore his one good eye into Takeshii. "I've earned my scars and been painted by them, those on my body were given by my family for being better than they are. The one on my face given to me by an Earthling for being -better- than they are," his ki swept about him like a hurricane. "I -earned- my title as a warrior and I have excelled everyone in our family, even you, and now I am a God amongst peasants," his pride, bravado raged whilst his chocolate mane swept about him. "If you want to test that, little 'Keshii'," his nickname for her, ages old, "-Then come at me and I'll show you what a Super Saiyan can really do,"

"A god among peasants, is that what you are now Levlidian? You seem more like a pompous ass then a god. Besides, what does it mean a God, to someone who is a non believer?"
She was bounced around like a rag-doll, though she was still rather strong, and according to the bit of power she did feel from him, there was no way he had much power left to give....was there? She would spin around and pull up that energy, forming a shaft of lightning like energy that would course from her palms and barrel towards him with a thunderous raging sound. Cracking against his form if it made impact, and hopefully sending him back against that wall once again. She was trying her best to use the buildings around them as some sort of concussive instrument to aid in their combat. She kept pushing that energy towards him, slamming him again and again against that wall, until the walls literally began to crumble around them. The bricks fell, barreling downwards and crashing against the concrete of the alley they stood upon.
"If you think....for one moment...that I am going...to feel sorry for you...think again....TRAITOR!"
She was beyond furious at him, and even seeing the scars that riddled his flesh and everything, she had no feeling for it...nothing other than the unbridled hatred she felt for the Saiyan warrior. He was so cocky, not even prideful anymore. It was pure cockiness that he was spewing from his lips and this only pissed her off all the more. Again and again...she shot fists and bolts at him, her rage growing to the point that the aura around her exploded like the thunder from above, spewing around her as she threw her fists forward one more time, pushing with all the power she could muster from her ki.
"You could have been someone important had you stayed. You could have even surpassed your father and brother. No...you were too impatient to rush into being some almighty god of a man. The all powerful Saiyan! Your own hatred towards your family for what they did to you drove you to be...this!"
She motioned to him then, before turning on her heel. At the moment...she did not want to kill him. It was far too easy. She stepped away and stood in the middle of the alley, her deep breaths coursing through her lungs as she tried to calm herself down enough that she could regain some of her energy. She hung her head down then, trying to focus on her own family. However, how could she focus on her family....when she had done the same thing to her father. Her own pride, her will to be better then he was, to show herself to other Saiyan's, that she was more than just a warrior...this is what drove her and why she was here now. Was it worth it? Was any of this truly worth it?

Levlidian struck the concrete and struck it hard, pulling himself onto all fours, playing up to the moment as he listened to her words thus he'd rise; breathing heavily to the mask he wore. "I am someone important, my family were vile monsters- I became something better, stronger-," and with a cocky grin he was suddenly fine. Sweeping his heels back and drawing both fists skywards he suddenly drew them down as though tugging on the air and unleashed a deep set, baritone of a call. The floor about him began to rumble, his aura quaked and it spat whilst the beasts mane erected. All about him dashed golden bolts of strenuous energy lashing the stone about them. "If you think-," he shouted as the energy about him coiled like serpents and writhed, "-That my brother could ever defeat me, my Father ever control me and you-," the stone beneath his heels shattered and debris began to rise on either side of him. "-could ever KILL me<"; the pressure began to build at his center, "-Then you were gravely, GRAVELY miss informed,"
The beasts singular black eye lightened, it bled into aquamarine as he tapped into the golden force, chocolate hair fed into the realms of golden yellow and with and almighty roar he unleashed his full potential in one mighty wave. The stone beneath him shattered into a small crater, walls fell as the waves of pure energy lashed against them and his mane stood with a serpentine flow against the golden aura replacing his crimson. The deep thrum as it raged, tore through the debris that floated either side of his screaming figure. As the transformation came to an end, floating stone toppled and fell cracking as it did so, plumes of smoke swept clear of him as he stepped from the rubble he'd creep from within to a flatter surface boasting with a sly grin. There were no words, just a silent few moments as he allowed her to bask in the unrelenting force, a force over one hundred times his brother had ever been on Vegeta, or even his or her own Father.
Those moments passed and it almost seemed like he'd vanish, appearing beside her he'd seek deliver a usually bone shattering knee to he abdomen, dependant on if she blocked he'd then deliver a savage right cross and a pepper of vicious fists to her chest before seeking take her head in his hands. The palm of his grip lay across her eyes and he'd seek plaster her into a concrete wall and hold her there. Dependant if no deflects or an escape happened he'd lean to her ear and whisper; "Do you believe now?". The grip tightened but, Levlidian couldn't bring himself to harm her any further, simply releasing Takeshii if he had her at all. However regardless of the successes, the young Super Saiyan stepped back three steps and stopped, folding his arms and peering at the older Saiyan. "I was a prodigy, I was betrayed and sentenced to death for thinking and acting differently to the norm', then I came here; I have protected innocents. Made friends, fought monsters and Demons in the name of all that is right and just- each and every Saiyan i have met has the same mentality,"
"Regardless of what you think of me now, Takeshii, I am never going to stop hunting down the Solar Empire and I have achieved the means to do it. As you've discovered," the glare turnd apologetic and he'd sigh, "I wish we could be friends, I wish I could show you where you went wrong perhaps train you to fight as I do. Though i think you've been too thoroughly brainwashed to even look at me and see your wrongs. So if you're still confident you can beat me, 'Keshii, come at me,"

What happened next came as an utter shock for her, not something she was even close to expecting. She watched in awe as the man before her raged, and drew upon that rage to transform into something so powerful that it threw her for a loop. She just stood there dumbfounded, her jaw dropping open to the point it almost looked like it was hinged. He had not been gone that long. How in all that was right in this world had he managed to achieve such a status in that time? HOW? That was when true fear started to settle within her and she started to back peddle away from him in the hope she could get away before he caught her and killed her. What had she gotten herself into it? However, she was not nearly fast enough. Moments passed, the world seeming to stand still as the buildings crumbled around them and the crater formed in the concrete beneath him.
One moment he was there, the next he vanished, then he reappeared before her. He was so fast, too fast. The first strike hit her solidly, sending her flying backwards a bit as that knee hit her abdomen, causing her to double over in pain. She then dodged a few of the punches, but he was much too fast for her. There would be no getting away from his speed, or his power. He was far FAR too powerful. As he growled those words at her, she could only groan out, "Yeah...I believe...you." She would soon crumble to the ground at his feet, her breath coming in raspy groans as she tried to focus her energy to keep herself from going unconscious in that very moment. She was so incredibly weak, far weaker then he was, and it drew away that pride she had been feeling, and settled in a self hate that rested there instead.
"So is that your intent Levlidian...to hunt down all the Solar Empire and destroy them for what they did to you...for what you THINK they did to you? How does that make you any better than me? How does that make you any better than anyone for that matter?"
So long ago she had cared about him, considered him a mentor and a friend. Now...now she was not sure what to think beyond the fact that she was in a whole lot of pain at the moment. She shook her head, closing her eyes and just letting the pain course through her. At least with the pain, she knew there was a reason behind it. She was hurting because he was powerful, too powerful. Her eyes had drifted closed now and she only focused on how she was feeling. However, she could not deny the words that slipped through her. Friends? Why did he want to be friends with someone that came to hunt him down? Why did he want to train someone that had come here with the sole intention of killing him? Was he daft? Did his time here on Earth finally drive the man over the edge? There was no answer, and she doubted she would every truly have an answer, or at least not one she every truly fully believed.
After she had given herself some time to catch her breath, her bruised and battered body would begin to stir, and she would slowly shift to a stand. Her palm would come to rest upon her abdomen and she turned that gaze to look at him, shaking her head. She felt absolutely worthless, and even worse than that was the knowledge that she would not be able to return home. Not now, not without him or his carcass on a pike. She turned then and made her way towards the entrance of that alley, bricks still tumbling to the ground around them. As she reached the entrance of that alleyway, she would stop and turn, looking at him through narrow slits of her eyes.
"I do not know if your daft...or perhaps you have lost your mind Levlidian. Maybe you need time to really think about what you just said? You would really want to be a friend and a mentor to someone like me...to someone who is..weak?"
Her pride had taken a brutal beating this day, and it would take her some time to get over this. She was not even sure if she would ever truly be able to get over this and regain the pride that she had had when she had sought him out in the first place. Only time would be able to tell. She would give another shake of her head then, turning back out of that alley if not stopped and heading off towards the bar she normally haunted. She needed a drink...badly. If he followed, he followed...if not, time would tell when she would seek him out again.

He watched as Takeshii moved, broken, beaten he'd remembered how this felt to be faced with overwhelming odds and power you couldn't comprehend and he knew what came next; Hinawa had been there for him. A fluttering thought whisked through him, a thought of how she's despised Saiyan's, hated them, and still she'd trained him and aided the youth to harness his own temper. This had been key later on, to his power jumps, to his access of Super Saiyan- thus he strode after Takeshii and sought her wrist to tug her back and stand before him. "I met someone when I first came here, a woman, after my fight with an Earthling I lost whole heartily and it dented my pride some," releasing that wrist he glared down at Takeshii with his blue eye. "She taught me ways of controlling my anger, taking what I was and making it into something more. No, it doesn't make me any better- to be honest I'm not sure it is even my real goal anymore. I got OUT, I can help you do it too, I don't imagine Vegeta will be happy to see you if you come back without me,"
Even if she'd begun to walk or stayed he continued, the crumbling stone all about them barely phasing the young Saiyan, with arms folded and power on full display he continued, "I can teach you the secret to how I excelled, how I tapped into this full potential and crawled up the ranks. It has something to do-," he nodded to the ground, "-with this planet. It changes people, moulds them into something new and original," he took pause and realised how this sounded. Thus, with an exhale his power level depleted a long with his golden hair and eyes of sea green. Suddenly she was faced with the usual Levlidian again and he...smiled. "All it took was a friendly gesture from someone who- until then hated our kind. I want to be that person for you or even for you to consider going out there and giving change a shot," Slowly his hands fell and he'd guide Takeshii from the falling ruins. The rain hand ceased and about them as they exited the buildings collapsed leaving lev' with a slight look of annoyance.
"Damn," that obsidian eyes fled back to her and he took a good look at the young Saiyan, "If you need time to think, take it, I suggest the Northern mountains. It's where I went, a little to the west, in the deeper regions look for a small crevice and a selection of caverns. When I had a fever, whilst I lay sickly and cold. I hid there, there should be a pit there for fires and ample place to practice or rest. If you ever want a solace or quiet place to think that's where I go," he'd begin to draw back watching the Saiyaness and dipping his head down. About his frame he tossed his Gi and covered himself up (when did he even grab that?). "Think about it, you'll never find a better offer to learn from a man who went from Saiyan reject to protector of a planet- in a short period of time. If you decide not to, just, look after yourself. if you want to come with me now, by all means- just, please think on it. I don't view you as weak, I don't see you as anything but lost, potentially a mighty Warrior strapped to ways that will ultimately weaken you further. I see a girl who was once my friend turned on me because I chose something she wouldn't have. But maybe you see what i saw now-"

Did not even seem to care that it was still raining, and she was rather soaked by this point. No, that seemed to be the furthest thing from her mind. She felt that grip move about her wrist, forcing her to stop in her tracks as she was turned to face him. She looked at him, shifting her gaze over his face as she listened to what it was he had to say. His words did not make sense to her, and it was hard for her to truly understand what he was saying. Out? How? How could one truly get away from the Saiyan Solar Empire...they were everywhere. She dropped her gaze a moment and shook her head, looking at the ground beneath their feet, trying to compose her thoughts a bit before she would finally speak.
"Levlidian...are we ever truly out? They will always hunt us down...always. When we least expect it they will send someone else after us..and then someone else...it will never stop."
She took a deep breath and would continue walking a bit more, at least finally getting out of the alley and away from the crumbling buildings that had shattered around them. As they walked, she would continue to listen to him, until he stopped again and changed back into the form that she knew so well. She would stop beside him, turning her back to the building beside her and bracing herself there with her arms crossed beneath her breasts. She clicked her tongue against her teeth, still feeling the pain and bruising in her gut and ribs. She just stood there for several moments and thought about what he said, what he was offering her. Right now, she had nothing but the house she had been accepted into. None of them could really teach her anything that she needed to know to be stronger. She took a deep breath then and lifted that gaze to look at Levlidian again for a moment, still silent, still contemplating. Finally she spoke, her voice strained with doubt.
"And if I were to go with you Lev? If I were to follow you and let you train me? Are you sure that is something you would want?"
She could not deny the fact that it was appealing to her. When she came here, she had come with every intention of defeating and killing the man that now stood before her. Now, however, she was not sure what to think. She would reach up to curl her fingers through her damp, jet black hair, her frustration clearly written on her face as she did. She finally pushed herself off of that wall and walked over to stand in front of him, just looking up at him with her own dark chocolate gaze. Her tail twitched impatiently behind her for several minutes before she finally let her breath out...having not even realized she had been holding it.
"Fine Lev. I will come with you. I will let you...train me. However, if you ever truly expect me to respect you again...it will...take time."
She let her voice trail off again before slumping again. She truly did feel a major stab in her pride that night. It was painful, and she was not sure how to handle it. She knew she would need some time to recenter her thoughts once again if she were to truly be able to put herself back into the right mindset to maintain any sort of training. However, for now she would stand there, just watching him, waiting for him to take in the fact that she had accepted, and waiting to see what he would do or say next.

There it was, Takeshii had given into his request and about his features bloomed a broad grin, it stretched the length of his lips exposing the ivory beneath and he'd turn on his heel in that moment. "First a drink and some tales,". The beast pocketed his hands and peered over his shoulder at the dark haired woman. His brow sank as he reflected on her, the younger version, so short and innocent had scuttled after him so many times, calling his name arms outstretched and tricking his younger self into a false sense of security- then a fist of a palm soon found his gut. This was strange, he felt a pang at her words, her trust in him now going to take time and he hadn't elaborated his entire story, not yet. The idea of having her as a trainee however excited him, "First thing I'll teach you- is sensing another power based on your own. We're going to start showing you meditation techniques too. Rage was my biggest issue and still is- but you're going to need it to ascend. When I'm finished with you 'Kesh; you'll be a super Saiyan like me,"
This was a hollow idea, the young man still didn't understand the ins and outs of his own ascension but it still felt- incomplete. The whittling feeling deep in his gut suggested he could ascend further. Yet the idea had to wait, Kazar had spoken of the fact there were- stages to his species unique ability to dye their hair on command. Yet, was something like that possible? Like the Arcorsians, could he push higher than the barrier that he faced right now? This sent chills of excitement through him, that and the idea of passing on his Iron style to another. "After that I'll show you the technique Hinawa taught me, see if you can't master it before I move on to showing you more of my techniques. They might help you develop some of yours- it'll be fun. Some good old fashioned Saiyan quality time,". If it sounded like he was enjoying the prospect, he was, to finally be in a position where he could show someone that life could be better.
"Where is there a decent bar about here?" he asked and peered from street to street, the young Saiyan hadnt explored the ground nor the cities down south all that much. With the North finally repaired, he'd suppose travelling to explore the natural sort of 'home city' would be viable. In fact, he was pretty sure he hadn't been her ein the south since he'd crashed that helicopter- or was that Colin. No, that was Noxa, ah yes the beauty scadly clad and about as sane as a dancing polar bear. "Boy do i have some stories for you," he laughed. With the switch in tone of their position; Levlidian seemed to adjust rather nicely. This was of course, despite the brooding female that likely followed him. Pausing about the corner of the road, Levlidian awaited Takeshiii and furrowed his brow at her sombre look. "Pep up Kesh, today could have gone far worse than a sheer beating. Look on the bright side, this is the beginning of a whole new adventure,"

Takeshii led him along the streets she had come to know so well, leading him towards that familiar place that had become almost like a second home to her. It was one of the only places where she felt at ease, plus they had half way decent food and drinks there. Palm lifted and door pushed open, the battered Saiyan slipping inside. She did not bother to say anything to the bar tender, who took one look at her and brought over a whole bottle of her favored wine and set it on the table. He would then look to Levlidian and in a gruff tone he would speak.
"What you want? Something to drink...eat maybe? You both look like ya been run through the ringer a time or three."
The tender looked back at Takeshii and shook his head, feeling a bit of pity for the Saiyan, who snapped her gaze at him with that fierceness that always rested within her. She did not want anyone to take pity on her, least of all some lowly bar tender. Her fingers curled into fists and came smashing down on the table as she let out a soft little snarl.
"I swear, if you look at me like that again...I will rip your balls off and stuff them down your throat. Now bring me something to eat, I need my energy back and would prefer sooner rather than later."
The tender would wait until he got the order from Levlidian before hurrying off, leaving the two Saiyan alone at that booth she tended to favor. She would reach for that bottle of wine, gripping the cork in her teeth, and yanking it free. She would give it a spit in the direction of the retreating tender, before pouring herself a very large glass of wine. She did not bother to say anything to Lev for the time being, still needing to wrap her head around the fact of what had just happened, and where she was about to be heading along that path in her life.
"So, you said you had stories you wanted to tell me? Well it seems we have nothing but time. Well, unless there is somewhere you need to be, or someone you need to be with."
She still felt a bit of contempt towards the whole situation, the Saiyan not sure exactly how to take it all. She was still angry at herself for having not seen through the facade of Lev. For not being able to see the fact that the man was more than he tried to portray to her from the start. She settled back in the shadowed darkness of that booth and would peer out over the spattering of other patrons that littered the many booths and tables that filled the bar. It always seemed to be that way, people coming and going, filling the bar with a multitude of personalities, though most just seemed to stay off on their own, minding their own affairs. Her gaze would shift back towards him, and it was then that she really took the time to look him over. He had changed a bit since the last time she had seen him. A few more scars, a few more muscles. Had she seen this, or really been paying attention when she had laid eyes upon him before, maybe then she would not have taken him on so fully. She could not change what happened now, but deep inside she knew she was going to have to change her tactics.

Levlidian strode with Takeshii, his form carried by his powerful frame at a rate that easily kept up with her, sighing he'd soon spot where she intended to go and flared a glance to the female Saiyan. Upon entry she ordered something he didn't expect at all, wine, again he fired a quizzical glance and noted he'd like the entire bottle of whiskey not just a glass; the man granted him an odd look but placed such before them a long with requested potato wedges. A deep sigh followed from the Saiyan with 'Keshii's regard of the human who scuttled away and he followed her to the oh so famous, favourite booth. Slipping into the seat across from her, the young Saiyan didn't waste time wolfing down quite a few of the wedges, one after another were piled into his maw and he'd consistently chew as the beast listened to the woman speak for a few moments; again he'd swallow and rear his head.
"Ah, yes," he nudged the food towards her, an odd gesture but he'd learnt such a thing could ease a situation; thus whilst he inhaled a mouthful of the bourbon, Levlidian exhaled and began to speak. "When I first arrived here I et this farmer kid, burly guy, six feet at least," (He was five foot three) the Saiyan drew breath, "Well when i landed, this punk starts a fight with me-," (he started it) "-and there we were going at it, it was even till the last few moments. I mean this guy- he was good. Not as good as I was- (he was better) - but he was good. What I'm saying is there are a lot of powerful fighters here. I mean, to and fro we went, fist, boot it didn't matter. This guy was well taught and it was fun,". Again, the Saiyan drew his bottle up and tempted his lips with the tip of it, drinking a large mouthful he soon placed it down and gasped.
"So there we were, head to head, cracking each other across the jaw-," he motioned with his fists, lashing close to the table now, "He started to get the upper hand, and I fought valiantly- but in the end 'Keshii I lost. (first honest word about it all day) But later I learned, Pain is weakness leaving the body, hence losing teaches you how to win- later. So we were in the same position, you and I now look at me," Extending his arms out and then settling them back down again- the beast offered an reassuring smile. "To get to the top- first you need to acknowledge there's a top to reach. So we're going to start by teaching you control. Show you how to feel others, sense their strength compared to yours and move on from there,"
