[Thread Power Level: 245,675] [Power Suppressed]
It’d been somewhere around two weeks since Plato regained his throne and had begun to work needed to repair the damage done to Ocariin city and his people, after Breech’s final gambit. And of course, since Vennel had defeated Cipher. She still carried a souvenir of her battle, her armor was still “proudly” displaying the damage suffered, as Vennel had yet to repair it. To her knowledge, Plato and Alaistair were hard at work doing something about restoring the android, and if it had anything to do with Plato’s plans he communicated to her, she had to do something about that. But the saiyan woman had little more than a working relationship with the Konatsian. And Plato wasn’t too fond of her people, so she assumed it’d be hard to talk him out of things herself. But that was why Vennel had come to the Cherry Valley Loft. She couldn’t find the words to convince Plato, but Alaistair could. He had a way with words, and also held the new King’s ear. So it stood to reason that if she held his, as she suspected she might, she could try and change the current flow of events. Vennel walked through the front door of the large loft, with a sort of swagger one came to expect from the warrior. She was greeted by one of Alaistair’s typical lackeys. She honestly found keeping them all straight was harder than she could ever manage. But she managed to find it in herself to acknowledge the older gentleman’s greeting with a slight nod of her head. “ Is your master here? I need to speak with him.” “ Yes, I’ll inform him you’ve arrived.” Vennel half expected him to leave his post to do so, and go and find where Alaistair was at the present moment. But he only really pulled up a small electronic device out and seemed to press a few buttons to accomplish his task. It made sense though, now that she thought about it. It’d be impractical to leave from his post, given the recent boom in people present at the Loft. Alaistair had begun allowing refugees and those made recently homeless after the damage to the city caused by Breech, and the battle surrounding him. Vennel was actually rather surprised to see just how many people were there, though. “ He’s currently meeting with some individuals pertaining to the reconstruction of the city. But he will wrap up shortly to see you. If you’d like, you can wait for him at a private booth in the restaurant. He thought he might be expecting you.” Odd, but not uncharacteristic of the devil. He had a knack for reading people or finding out what they wanted. And given the nature of their business, it made sense. With a curt nod Vennel turned on her heel toward the direction of the restaurant, but paused for a moment, before turning back towards the aging steward. “ Oh, and one more thing. My majin compatriot, Kaza, will be coming shortly. I’d sent her a message asking her to meet me here. If you’d send her to me when she arrives, that would be appreciated.” The man returned the nod given previously and mumbled something that sounded like “of course,” but because of the din of patrons in the loft, it was hard to make out exactly what he said. But Vennel assumed it was a response of acquiescence. The answer had been enough for the woman, though, so she resumed her approach to the booth she was informed of. The restaurant portion of the loft seemed to be not as populated as she may have firstly believed it would be. Several tables were left open, though without a private booth, she felt like the nature of her conversation may be overheard. She had no real secrets, per se, but she still would prefer privacy. After all, the people here weren’t quite fond of her Empire, or her people. Not after the attack that she’s heard so much about. Vennel took to her seat in the booth, and was the picture perfect depiction of “relaxed.” Her arms were folded up behind her head, her legs crossed, and slouched back in her seat. She had no idea how long the wait would be for both individuals to arrive, so relaxing was the best course of action she felt she could take while waiting.

(Thread PL: 218,544) (Multi Form (SU3) active. 4 Forms. All have 54,661 PL.) Just as Vennel would be seating herself at the booth, one of the clones of Alaistair would come up to her, looking stressed and worn from the work he'd been putting in. Over the course of the last two weeks, sleep was something he was lacking and longing for. The Devil, however, greeted her in a mused tone, a smile upon his face as he greeted her, "Good day Vennel, dear. I heard from Dorgia that you and Kaza were needing to talk to me?"The Devil took a seat on the opposite side of her, kicking a leg up on his side of the booth and leaning back, clearly needing a moment's breather. He felt his spine shift, cracking as he leaned back! "Aaaah damn I needed that," Alaistair grunted, a smile forming on his face, "Been scattered all over the place... Literally! In a meeting right now with some of the leaders of Ocariin on how to get the city back up, as well as trying to figure out what's the next step going to be. Meanwhile, there's 2 other me's trying to help Eres and Arthus cover all of these people here! I was actually just coming back from the laundry room and helping set up a dozen and a half people get set up in rooms... So, what'd you want to talk about?"( Majin Kaza) |

Lucky for Vennel, she didn’t have to wait long as Alaistair was the first to arrive, greeting her in his formal manner. She nodded, in reply to his question about her and Kaza meeting with him. Not that she had any idea if Kaza had to speak with Alaistair, more so Vennel had to talk to them both. When the devil took his seat, she could hear the subtle cracking of his spine and he seemed to be relieved Vennel, however raised an eyebrow at his claims of being in more than one place at once. Searching for his energy, she found he was right, she could feel his power split among three other copies of himself. She was unaware he was capable of such an ability, but for his goals, it would make sense to want to do that. He was a people pleaser, and how best could he do so than in this way. But shortly after he finished, Kaza arrived, no doubt having been shown in by the door man she met before. That, or she did her usual thing and just abrasively asserted herself when she located Vennel’s power. “ We just got here before you, actually.” After her reply, or maybe even despite it, she plopped down right next to her, as carefree as ever. Though, she was sporting a new set of armor, one Vennel had not yet seen her in before. It was in similar styling to her last, but the blunted shoulder tips gave it a more streamlined appearance that suited the look. It gave Vennel an idea. “ Nice duds, don’t suppose you could design something for me, eh?”Her comment was half tongue in cheek, but she wouldn’t turn the majin down if she accepted the request. But that wasn’t what she was here to do, not completely. “ I wanted to meet with you both, for more or less the same reason: I will soon be leaving Konats.” She was going to get into the brunt of her conversation here as she sat herself up in the chair. Her body language conveyed that she was serious about the topic, and that she was giving it all the respect it needed. Especially given where she was planning on going. “ I’ve grown a great deal since I came here, and thanks to you Alaistair, I have a new goal. I am planning on going to Vegeta. I want to meet this new queen, and see if she is worthy of the throne. I may not be strong enough to defeat Zucceta, or any successor that she may have picked. But you know what they say about keeping your enemies closer.” She then realized that she probably shouldn’t have spoken so frankly about her plans in front of Kaza. She’d after all been trying to keep that a secret more or less. But at this point, the cat was out of the bag. And Kaza had proven to be a valuable ally. If she wanted to aid Vennel, she would. But if the majin were more inclined to get in her way, she was confident she could find a swift resolution to that hinderance. “ This is probably the first you’ve heard of this Kaza, but I have ambitions pertaining taking the throne of Vegeta. The Empire is at risk of collapse, and at best stagnation with it’s current leadership. I can understand if you have reservations about aligning with someone with such radical ambitions as myself. But at least as a professional courtesy, I’d like to ask you keep this pretty hush-hush for now with anyone who’s not present here at this table.” The topic had been brought up inadvertently before when the three of them trained along with Kizuki and Plato, but it seemed that it all went over Kaza’s head at the time. Though she couldn’t be certain if it did or if she just decided to keep mum on the subject. But either way, she hoped she could count on the majin’s support, rather than having to find an alternative end to it. But all the same, she turned her attentions back toward the devil across the booth from her and leaned in. “ I wanted to make sure you knew. Given our business arrangements thus far, and moving forward. I’ll leave the reconstruction of this world to you and Plato. But I also have another subject for being here. Plato’s plan, concerning Cipher. I don’t approve of it. He is trying to use it to damage the relations between Dirt and and the Empire. While I don’t approve of any alliance with that world, damaging those relations could lead to a war between the two nations. And my people can’t sustain another protracted engagement like that.” Leaning back in her seat, she tilted her head up and looked up at the ceiling. She was stressed out by the thought that, even though she wasn’t on the throne, she was having to put in this much effort to keeping someone else on the throne. But what good was taking her place at the top of the Imperial Diet if there was no Empire left to rule? Rolling her head back down to level, Vennel looked at both of her companions, wondering what their thoughts were on what she had to say thus far.

No sooner did Al arrive did Kaza! The Devil bowed his head lightly to her, while Vennel openly greeted her and complimented her armor. With her being here, they started getting to business! Vennel opened up about leaving Konats soon, Alaistair retorting, "Heading back to Vegeta, I imagine?"Vennel's explanation soon after became focused to Kaza, about how the saiyaness wanted the throne back, but she was intending to test the new queen about it! She was open about not being strong enough, yet, to defeat Zucceta or her successor, which Alaistair honestly had no knowledge about! He'd been so caught up with the issues with Konats that he'd not learned this important fact! He perked up an eyebrow, as Vennel explained her desire to perhaps return to the throne, if she felt the current Queen couldn't handle this situation. "Since the cat's outta the bag," Alaistair spoke up, after Vennel finishing, "I want to let you know that I am aiming to assist her in doing this. Kizuki, Plato, and Denim know I've plans about this, and I plan to tell my step-daughter, Tekuma, at some point too... Long story about that, might I add."He straightened himself up, hands cupped and pointed towards Kaza after briefly pausing, stating to her, "We need your trust and silence on this matter... There's a very large scheme of things I've yet to cover, but if you can keep quiet on it until Vennel makes that decision, I will reward you handsomely for it. If you want to know how handsomely, ask Vennel how much... But as you were saying, Vennel."Alaistair refocused to Vennel, who did the same to him and started bringing up Plato's plan for Cipher. Alaistair started to gawk wide eyed at Vennel, thinking they'd not mentioned it to anyone! Had Plato mentioned this to her without Alaistair's knowledge? "I agree on that... But how did..."He paused, shaking his head and waving it, putting his hand upon Vennel's two folded hands in a calming manner. "There's many things about that I'm planning to get take care of there," he spoke, reflecting his calming demeanor, "You have my word there. 'Dirt,' as you call the Earth, and the SSE won't be adversaries... Not unless they actually make themselves as such. There's the matter with Xylo and his proclamation of War that has to be handled..."He moved his hand back, having had heard of that more recently in the intergalactic news. The brash Namekian had openly declared war upon the SSE, refusing to solidify the claim on his world instead! "Since I am Ambassador to Konats, I need to meet with my old, 'friend,' at some point," Alaistair told them, "I'm the one who assisted putting him into that position and he's running amuck with power, not realizing the full scale of things he's doing... And he is going to realize it painfully."( Majin Kaza) |

Vennel glanced at the red skinned man with a grunt upon hearing him mention just how many people he’d told. She knew he was loose lipped with Kizuki and Plato, but she had no idea he’d told the human and planned to tell that Tekuma girl as well. The idea left a sour taste in Vennel’s mouth as she chewed over the idea. The girl was a coward, and Vennel didn’t care much for her. Despite her own misgivings about humans, she even held Denim in higher regard, after seeing how the woman had dispatched with the insubordination in her own ranks. And funnily enough, Alaistair seemed confused as to how Vennel knew about Plato’s plan. SHe rolled her eyes as if to say, “you and I both know he can’t keep a secret.” Which had a lot to do with her mistrust for the konatsian, and even more Alaistair’s choice in confidants. But his choice of words next were what gave her pause. He’d said that Dirt and the Empire wouldn’t end up adversaries, but she wasn’t so sure it’d be that easy. Though, if this Xylo character was such a threat to force Dirt and the Empire into a war, maybe he was something special after all. With Alaistair’s rebuttal finished, Kaza chose to chime in now, talking about her own desires. And to Vennel’s surprise, the majin was in agreement with her. She was surprised to see an alien with such a saiyan-like mindset. It made her proud to call the alien a member of the auxiliary corps. Vennel turned her attention first to her majin companion first, addressing her voiced concerns. “ It’s for that very reason, that I feel I have to do something. Ever since that detestable woman Zucceta took the throne, she’d set us on this path. But I can’t sit by any longer. I will see if this new queen is all bluster, or if she actually has what it takes to lead a warrior race.” But without going on too long about the subject, for fear she’d derail the whole conversation into her ranting about the current state of the Empire, she turned her attention tot he man across from them. “ This person you’re meeting, so I take it Xylo is coming here to Konats, then? No sense in hiding who you’re meeting with. You’ve told me enough about your experience with the man, and I’m no simpleton.” She leaned back, smirking as she did. It was possible the obfuscation was more for Kaza’s benefit, but with how loose lipped Alaistair had been with her own ambitions, it was only fitting to spill the beans here. But more importantly, it was interesting to note Xylo was coming to them. Perhaps leaving Konats wasn’t the best idea now. She could get to see and fight this man herself and see what sort of man frightened her people so. Perhaps even kill him herself. No, that wouldn’t do. Vennel shook her head, and those thoughts out of it. If the Empire could have taken on this namekian themselves, they wouldn’t lean on the Dirtlings to help them. She’d need to grow stronger before trying to fight this person. And if he were busy traveling the stars this far away from Namek, then he wasn’t making any moves on her people any time soon. “ Meet with this man if you will. But I don’t think he’ll bend from his path. You’d have an easier time moving Konats back to South Galaxy.” Pushing herself up from the booth, she stretched her arms out. “ I’ll be leaving in a few days. I have a few things to take care of, namely this armor of mine.” She banged her arm against her chest as if to illustrate it’s flimsiness. Sure enough, the hole in her chest where she’d been shot by Cipher days ago, seemed to splinter more, a bit of it chipped off and fell off. A soft chuckle escaped Vennel’s lips in response as she moved to leave the booth, rising up with her ki manipulation to go over Kaza, as to not disturb her. “ Unless theres anything else to be taken care of, I’ll be taking my leave of you two for now. Sorry to pull you both away for such a short amount of time, but I felt it was best to at least tell you both these things in person.” Vennel then glanced to Alaistair, as something had just occurred to her. It had slipped her mind until now, but she recalled the events of the fight with Cipher and how things had gone. “ Also, if you’re going to be dealing with people as you have so far, you’d best choose better stock from which to draw your warriors. Denim’s supporter, the one who died- people like that will doom any of your ambitions to failure. And that Tekuma girl, she left during the battle with Breech didn’t she? I’ve not seen her since I left to take my post. You can’t bring a person to a battle, who will turn tail on the drop of a hat. Insubordination and cowards deserve the treatment Denim gave her own partner. That human has my respect for that, at least.” She was curious, how Alaistair would respond. The conversation may have had new fire yet. But she was poised to leave should things turn toward winding down now.

"Not as far as I know," Alaistair replied to Vennel, "If he's coming here, he's putting his Empire at risk... His planet at risk, again! Vi-Poi had once destroyed the planet on a whim, and he's made himself enemies of the mighty android, I imagine. Not to mention any of that mighty youngster's friends in Earth and Vegeta!"Kaza, soon after, told her own thoughts on this. While a bit immature in the way she spoke them, the idea they were expressing was a strong one! She expressed the possibility of supporting Vennel, if it meant supporting herself and the Empire. It was admirable to Alaistair! He nodded, retorting with a smile of gratitude, "Thank you, Kaza. While you're upset with relations with Earth, you've got to keep in mind that they have existed for thousands of years! You people, the Majin, spawned mostly upon that world some thousand or so years ago and have remained a prominent figurehead in the population during that time... I only say this to be considerate of whom you deal with, though, and don't mean to bore you."Vennel seemed a bit confused at the way Alaistair put his statement. That confusion, he'd correct, turning to and telling her, "I meant going to Namek, to talk to him, as well as his brother, who's a member of the clan that makes the magic orbs called the Dragon balls, their clan being named the Dragon Clan for that. Kizuki's expressed a wish to go and meet with Xylo there, to hear both sides of what happened... Bit if a bad time to do that, if you ask me. I've been hearing that he's apparently announced war with the SSE and their allies!"After that, Vennel seemed to feel their business was concluded at this point. She pointed out that her armor had been remaining flimsy since the battle with Cipher, beating upon her small chest and revealing the armor was falling apart! He told her, "All understandable! If you wish, I can ask one of the citizens to assist you with that endeavor... Actually, why don't I just fix that right now myself?"He pointed an index finger at her torso, stardust seeming to manifest and encompass her armor, causing it to brighten before solidifying around her body! The armor retained its red hues and, not just looked it but would even feel as though it were just freshly made. All the while, Vennel talked about how Alaistair needed to be more privie with his choice of people working with him! Tekuma was cowardly, and Alaistair would not deny that at all, while Denim was actually effective at keeping subordinates in check. However, Plato was certainly someone who'd been troublesome, but only due to him and his 'monster' constantly clashing with each other and making it frustrating to talk to him! "You are right, Vennel," Alaistair admitted, laying his hands flat on the table, "I do need to be careful on whom I have, but believe me when I say: not every single person I met has been extended this opportunity to work with me for these goals! Tekuma had fled the battle, yes, but not before assisting Kaza and Plato in eliminating Breech... Granted, Kaza here had attempted to attack her and I had to smack some sense into her after Plato took the blow, but that's a different subject. The point is, and this is readily apparent after what happened with Xylo: I'm not so keen to acquire people who go mad with power! Plato's learned this, unlike Xylo, which is why he is a good man and ally to have in the end. In fact, the other day, he actually ended up struggling to help this Kabochan warrior. She was a very pretty one, behind all the blood from her ship crashing a couple days ago, and lack of water. He was smoking, literally from his face because he was so embarrassed and was trying to keep calm!"He ended up chuckling a bit, remembering how the smoke was erupting out from behind his mask as he tried to figure out how to carry Cushaw!

[ Thread PL: 231,623 ]
[ Ki Suppression Active - PL: 5,000 ]
"You're staying here." A loud, deep voice boomed from the opposite side of the room where the door to enter the dining area was. It was dark so the figure could barely be made out, but of course from the sound of such a demanding tone the trio would eventually figure it out. No one had seen, or even really felt, Kizuki since the battle against Breech but the Saiyajin had finally returned. He was making his way over towards them, his armor looking a bit more ragged than during the battle itself, noting that the male had been training the entire time. His face showed some scratches, as well. The loud sounds of his boots thumping against the ground echoed within the restaurant area, like some sort of Sheriff, or maybe even an Outlaw, making their way into a saloon. "One look at your face and Xylo is bound to remove your head from your shoulders." He finally reached them, standing where they were all situated with muscled arms crossed over his armored chest, slightly ruined from his training in the desert alone for the last few weeks, tail swung around his waist tightly. That ever apparent scowl on his face as he stared at Alaistair. "I know you have this fantasy of playing Ambassador of the Universe, Devil, but you're going to have a hard time convincing the Mazoku Leader you'll be of any assistance to him when he gave you the boot personally." Did he mean to bring up old wounds? Probably. Alaistair either kept forgetting this or he kept ignoring it.
"I'll be going to Namek myself soon. If you plan on going to play intergalactic peacekeeper you'll be doing it alone, and you'll be leaving your friend's Empire very exposed. Should Xylo know the both of us are on Namek he'll surely send someone here to take Konats, maybe his new Devil friend or he could even come himself. Then what, Ambassador?" He'd pause for a brief moment, before looking at both Vennel and Kaza then looking back at Alaistair. "And with Vennel leaving I'm sure the Majin girl is not far behind. If your Konatsian has powerful friends aside from us he had best call on them right now." Kizuki's tone didn't waver, though he wouldn't harp on this too much. He mostly came to let Alaistair know he was leaving, and if he insisted on going to Namek it would not be with Kizuki, this would be a lone mission. The Saiyajin wouldn't get involved. Alaistair's scheme for Universal domination did not sit well with Kizuki in the fist place. Any being that was that hungry for power would be likely consumed by it. "You should be focusing on solidifying your friend's position as King here before going anywhere. He's been King for all of a few weeks and if myself, or anyone else in this room, felt like it we could remove him from that throne easily ourselves. Your little trick of splitting yourself around is cute, but will hardly help him in the long term." It didn't intend to be a threat, it was all facts that Alaistair had to accept. "If you have any intention of actually succeeding in your goals your place is here, on this planet, solidifying Konats' position. Xylo isn't interested in your peace. Understand that, Devil."
The tension was thick in the air, especially coming from Kizuki. Though, in defense of the Saiyajin, his tone and attitude was generally very aggressive. "If I were a King of some other planet and you came all the way to me to sell some alliance with this pathetic excuse for an Empire right now it would not end well for you or your 'King.' As much as Xylo hates the SSE his mindset is very much that of a Saiyajin. Most people find themselves having more in common with us than they are aware." That last part made him smirk some, having this sense of pride that his people were typically the bane of all others' existence due to their planetary raiding history, yet most he had come across in this era fit the same bill in tenacity. However, there was something that was stuck in his mind. Alaistair had mentioned that Namekians can actually make... Dragon Balls. Something about it seemed familiar, though he swore this was knowledge that he just learned by listening in on them speaking. Must be Alaistiar's memories and knowledge that had infected his mind, again after his little "gift" in Hell.
Sorry to jump in unexpected! :3

Truth be told, Kaza had surprised herself by the amount of disapproval she just showed to them. Never before had she actually voiced an opinion that went further than 'That's cool' or 'That's dumb'. Certainly felt different to be able to support it with arguments. Even if they were still somewhat childish, and arrogant. Some things never change.
Vennel had given her the brief confirmation she needed to not look like a total dunce. If Vennel's words were true, and Kaza highly doubted that they weren't...That would only give Kaza more reason to support Vennel's cause. If it meant returning her beloved home back to how it was supposed to be, then Kaza found no problem in overthrowing the current Queen.
Although, they were in the midst of a war, with this 'Xylo' guy. To do such a rash thing now would be completely stupid...Even Kaza knew that.
Speaking of, that 'Xylo'...It sounded so vaguely familiar- in the strangest way possible.
It was the first time she'd ever heard the name, yet at the same time, she felt like she'd heard it hundreds of times before...
Did any of the people she absorbed have something to do with this? Was Breech scheming with Xylo? Or perhaps that Cipher...? Nevertheless, he sounded important. It was safe to assume he was ridiculously powerful, and somewhere deep down, Kaza knew this. As if she was slowly 'unlocking' more and more of those hidden thoughts.
She was about to speak up when Vennel briefly put Alaistair's poor choice in minions to light. Kaza immediately began to get more irritated, memories of that night flooding back. Mostly that girl...That one fucking girl. She had almost ruined Kaza's sole purpose of being there in the first place, and when she actually forced herself to get involved...She just ran. Ran like a spineless coward
''Assisting...?'' Kaza finally spoke up with an angered snarl. ''You call trying to take away a kill that belonged to Plato and I 'Assisting'...?'' Her eyes traveled up, disgust and vile intentions making themselves obvious to anyone who would look at her. ''There was no need for any assistance...We could've wiped the floor with Breech on our own- the guy was nothing compared to Plato, it was one-sided and unfair from the start.... And she STILL tried to steal our glory. Afterwards not even having the guts to take responsibility...She just ran. Ran like a fucking coward.'' Kaza paused, leaning back in her seat with folded arms as she groaned deeply. ''I don't care if she's your daughter, niece, family, girlfriend- whatever...If she ever fucks up that badly again, I'm absorbing her.''
''...Don't need any of those useless, whiny shits ruining our plans.''
She sighed out deeply, obviously trying to calm herself down from her own frustrations. It was then that Kizuki arrived on the scene, also taking his own shots at Alaistair and his less-than-optimal decision making skills. His arrival was unexpected, but it was nice to see him again after so long. Kaza honestly thought he had left the planet already, but apparently that wasn't the case.
Kizuki had some obvious criticism regarding all of their plans, and most of it sounded like it was justified. Then again, Kaza could only assume this, as most information regarding this Xylo was still relatively new to her. It sounded like the Saiyan knew what he was talking about, and Plato's kingdom being exposed once Alaistair left was a fair point.
But, then again...Plato was no pushover- so, this Xylo...Was he really that powerful? It was pretty concerning, really.
''...You guessed it though, Kizzy. I'm totally going to Vegeta in a bit. I've got some stuff I need to take care of, so you'll be one person shorter, Al.'' Kaza spoke up. She seemed to be a tad calmer, and had unfolded her arms by now, making her entire posture seem more outgoing and open. ''We all look like we have some common goal though. And, honestly, I still haven't repaid you guys for everything that happened here...Sooo...''
Her eyes turned to Alaistair again, fairly widened with the faintest bit of gratitude flickering in them.
''If you really, REALLY need some help again, I'll come to help you out...Probably.'' Kaza paused, a casual half-grin forming on her face. ''Ya'know, assuming I'm not busy helping out our Future Queen over here with her 'RADICAL AMBITIONS'~'' She gestured toward Vennel with a thumb, trying to mimic Vennel's voice before snickering to herself.
After having voiced her part, Kaza was silent, waiting for anyone else to chime in and possibly add some more spice to the conversation.

Alaistair’s clearing up of his meaning of ‘meeting’ with his friend was even more foolhardy. He aimed to leave Konats, and go to Namek himself. He’d also mentioned that Kizuki had similar goals in mind, though to different means. It was understandable, given her limited knowledge of the past those two shared with the namekian. And as if to parrot her own misgivings of the idea, the previously mentioned saiyan seemed to present himself at just the right time, forbidding their demonic friend from leaving. He seemed worse for wear, perhaps having taken to training his body during their time apart, and she could feel the advancement he’d made, though it was not quite as far as she’d had assumed given the time away that he’d spent. Vennel was happy to agree with him however, as she turned to face the approaching warrior, and nodded. Plato was, at best, vulnerable as he was now. At worst, he was doomed to lose his planet again. The konatsian was still a novice when it came to matters of the state, wishing mostly to hold his throne on some sort of vague premise that he was destined to. But he didn’t seem to have much else in mind. After all, almost eighty-three percent of the man’s words seemed to be in reference to his former status as King. Perhaps the only goal he had aside from that was the destruction of her people. And without an army to back such ambition, and only vague alliances with those gathered here and Alaistair’s supporters, he wasn’t going to go far on his own. Kizuki understood the situation more, and it pleased Vennel to hear that his thoughts fell in line with her own. Not so much because of the ego boost that came with feeling vindicated, but more so that her grasp on the situation wasn’t far off. This Xylo, even though she’d never met him, was a warrior and a leader. He wasn’t going to back down once on the path of war, and in a different time or another life, she could have ended up siding with the namekian. When Alaistair had heard the woman’s words about her armor and had offered, just before taking it upon himself to act upon it, to fix it. A quick display of his magical capabilities, and suddenly her armor had been restored to it’s former sturdiness. “ Well, that sure was easy enough. Heh.” And Kaza’s words relating to the salvaged debacle their little operation only confirmed her suspicions. Tekuma was not suited to the role that Alaistair had given her, and perhaps had been blinded by his newly founded familial ties to the girl, whatever they were. And to add to the matter, the majin confirmed she too was going to Vegeta. Vennel was glad to hear that she’d find her new ally there before long. But she’d also extended to help should their devilish friend require it in the future. Also mentioning, cheekily, that she’d be available if not already assisting Vennel. The woman agreed, with another nod before adding to it. “ Of course, if matters grow dire, you know how to contact me.” She rose her arm up, and tapped the side of her red lensed scouter, indicating what she meant- unsure if his telepathic capabilities could bridge the void of space to whatever planet the warrior might find herself on. “ If Plato has found a potential ally in this Kabochan, as you say, then perhaps he will have help the he needs. However, he’ll need more than the cast-offs of my people to defend his throne. He lost it once, if his words are to believed, as soon as just two of my people came here of their own volition. His power may be impressive now, but power alone isn’t enough to win a battle.” However, hearing that Kizuki planned to go to Namek himself, brought Vennel’s attention to him. “ I have to admit, I’d have hoped to hear you’d be coming to Vegeta with myself and Kaza. I’m sure the Empire could use real saiyans like yourself. Though, I can understand if you decide otherwise. But just know that your help would be appreciated in setting our people back on the right path to glory that has been deviated from by the fools who’ve lead it in recent years.”

Just as Alaistair was trying to lighten the mood up, Kizuki came into the conversation, berating Alaistair about his intent to meet with Xylo. Kaza, on top of that, decided to screech about how she was trying to steal Plato and Breech's kill, how she planned to steal it. Vennel, at the very least, tried to find the positivity of this, and Kaza, too, tried to dodge. Yet, it'd become apparent that the Devil was annoyed with them. "I'm gonna keep this quick," Alaistair stated, nodding to Kaza first, "I don't care if that was your kill... That was a battle she was aiming to assist you in and you backstabbed her, in front of both Plato and I! She knew fully well what she was doing there, having met with Cipher beforehand and having basically left her former Da' and family alone, deciding to come assist us in that fight for freeing this world from Breech. You were the reason she fled the way she did! Read the situation next time."He looked to Kizuki who'd been berating his thought on going to Namek. To him, he asked, "Tell me, when you go meet with him, are you gonna be a messenger for me, or should start having a little talk with him right now while talking with you about what he's planning to do and if he'll at least be open to an alliance, again?"It was a loaded question, and rhetorical too. "I think you and I both know that this going to end badly, if the conversation carries on the way it is. Instead, why don't you have a seat with us," Alaistair stated, squaring his feet under the table and slapping a hand on the cushioned, "And get some grub with us and talk on other matters instead? I'd very much rather hear about what you guys have been doing since the battle."( Majin Kaza) |

"K-Kizzy?!" Kizuki thought to himself. The Majin's little nickname forced Kizuki's scowl to worsen before he let out an audible, "Tch!" at just how ridiculous it sounded. Silliness aside, she did confirm that her and Vennel would be leaving for Vegeta, effectively leaving Konats to just Alaistair and Plato, should Kizuki not be around. The elder Saiyajin didn't really rely much on the others in Alaistair's group. They didn't seem capable, given the "ki" he felt from them, the ones he could anyway. Vennel would follow up, confirming that she and Kaza would be there to aid Alaistair if anything wrong were to come. Though all of that would be relative to how quickly they could get to him to help. She'd direct her attention to him, admitting that she would have preferred Kizuki to go to Vegeta with herself and Kaza and aid them in her mission. "Our people." The truth was that Vennel's people were not his own. All Saiyajin shared the same DNA deep down to their core, yes. But Kizuki's people had died out a lifetime ago. Vegeta was not his planet, those were not his brethren. However, he was able to aid, somewhat, in the liberation of a planet that was being ruled under an Android. Though it was not Daikondu there were similarities there. Perhaps the Universe was giving him another chance to redeem his people through the aid of his entire race with Vennel and Vegeta. Regardless, he didn't need to go into such things unless questions were asked, and the likelihood of that was slim. Before he could answer her, though, Alaistair retorted to all of them. He could sense the agitation in his voice, which was what Kizuki wanted. The Devil was far too loose in his demeanor. It made the male Saiyajin uncomfortable, especially when lives were on the line. Before he answered Vennel he figured it would be best to play to Alaistair first. He'd lift his head in a slight nod to him before answering. "I've more than done my fair share for you, Devil. I died once because of you AND Xylo, do not think I forgot about what the both of you cost me. I'm not here to play messenger or peacemaker. I don't care what Xylo wants or what you want for that matter. I have my own goals I need to take care of." His last sentence made Kizuki's skin feel like it was on fire. He could feel a surge of anger burning inside of him from that threat of his which only caused his right eyebrow to twitch slightly, a small smirk forming on his otherwise angry face. "You'd do well to never speak to me like that again, Demon, or if you'd prefer I can show you just how badly this conversation can end. For you." The Saiyajin's patience was wearing horribly thin, he was starting to understand just how Alaistair could've gotten on Xylo's bad side, even with Xylo being as unpredictable and stubborn as he was. If anything, he was all but done with the Devil, for a while at least. He'd let his head turn to Vennel then. "I'll take you up on your offer after I've concluded my business on Namek. I'll make sure to make contact with you both soon. Just know that whatever I do, I'm doing for the Saiyajin people." His head once again turned to face Alaistair, brows furrowed deeply. "Not you."
He'd then turn his attention towards the Majin. The one that called him... Kizzy. He felt his skin crawl. "I can't be positive I know who this... person is you're both talking about, but keep in mind the mission is always first. You can't relish in glory if you're dead." He didn't turn to face Alaistair, but his next question was aimed at him. "Isn't that right, Devil?"
The tone of the situation had dropped, the tension was definitely thick in the air and Kizuki had no intention of sitting or eating with Alaistair, or the other two for that matter. Instead, he turned away from the group, his eyes moving sideways to look at Vennel before he attempted to project something into her mind. "If you can come meet me before we both leave this dump. I'd like to speak with you about something. Briefly, so we don't waste too much time." A neat trick he had picked up from Alaistair over the course of the year, without needing to use the Devil's link himself.

And just as Kaza's mood started to lighten up, it broke again, leaving her in a state of frustration and anger. This fucking devil...Alaistair- he really understood nothing about what happened, and how Kaza saw the situation. She had to close her eyes and fold her arms over her chest again. Her hand tightly gripped onto her own bicep, teeth visibly gritting as Alaistair responded to her scolding of the man's ''daughter''.
...He even went so far as to blatantly ignore Kaza's offer for assistance...Something she was now obviously reconsidering.
''Forget it, then.''
If Alaistair was this dead set on protecting his little ''daughter'', then so be it. Kaza's arrogance lead her to believe she was much more helpful and capable than that Tekuma girl, which in a sense, was completely true. Yet Alaistair was having none of it, and it seemed obvious enough that the Devil would much rather have that ball of angst and mental problems around to help him than he would a real soldier.
Kaza kept her anger to herself for now, noticing the topic was changing around, and Vennel voicing her disappointment in Kizuki not going along with them. She had a good point, Kizuki really seemed like a 'Real' Saiyan, and not like the ones that got Kaza so riled up. He'd be great to have along, and his sheer power would be a good help in what they were planning to do...
...But it seemed like he had different plans for now, heading off to Namek to wrap up some of his own stuff. It was nice to hear that he was open to considering it after he was done there, though.
He really, REALLY seemed to be pissed off at Alaistair, for alll sorts of reasons. Reasons Kaza didn't understand, and reasons she knew nothing about. Kizuki had apparently died once before because of him and Xylo..Wait, huh?
How do you die once and walk around just fine now? Did he get brought back somehow...?
The mere idea of an afterlife struck Kaza as ridiculous and weird...Most likely a byproduct of absorbing the atheist, Doctor Breech.
She left that thought on the backburner for now, though. Hopefully she'd be able to ask Kizuki or Vennel sometime in the future. But, not now...the tension hung thick in the air, and the sheer amount of hostility and anger Kizuki voiced left Kaza in complete silence, unsure what to say or how to respond.
One thing she knew for certain, though...Kizuki's words didn't really help to improve Alaistair's reputation, in Kaza's eyes. The more and more she got to know about the Devil, the more she began to distrust and dislike him. His arrogance and superior attitude had been getting on Kaza's nerves ever since she met him- and it had now reached its boiling point.
''...I'll be glad once I'm off of this crappy ass planet.'' She announced, her expression exhausted, and unpleasant.
''I've done my part here, and honestly...I couldn't care less as to what happens here once I'm gone.'' She paused, that arrogant posture showing again as she turned to Alaistair.
''Don't get me wrong, I appreciate just how powerful you allowed me to become...But I'm starting to grow sick of your condescending ass attitude. Hell, I even offered to help you further just now...And you just used that opportunity to treat me like some dumb kid again, thinking you're superior to me or something...''
''So, have it your way. Go try and help Konats with your pack of mentally unstable goons. You've just made me realize that my loyalties lie somewhere else anyway.''
With her head held high in an arrogant, confident way, a thumb gestured towards Vennel.
''And that'd be her, obviously.''

Of course, it seemed Alaistair didn’t take kindly to what Vennel and Kaza had said concerning that cyborg girl. It seemed that Tekuma knew what she was doing, according to Alaistair, which made things all the more damning for Vennel. Though, hearing that Kaza had turned on Tekuma only brought mixed feelings. On the one hand, her majin friend had decided to fight alongside Breech, to make things a more interesting fight- a saiyan response that Vennel could appreciate and understand. But in contrast, she had taken an action that could have potentially jeopardized the operation. But all things considered, she wouldn’t have done much of anything. Vennel cut in after Alaistair had scolded the pale blue majin. “ With all due respect, during the time of the assault, Kaza’s power level was not much of a threat to Tekuma, in fact they were relatively equal. The same can be said for Breech’s power, when my scouter detected him. Kaza’s mission was to aid Plato in destroying Breech. But Plato didn’t need that help, given his new strength. And from what she’s told me, Tekuma tried to end the fight right away, stealing Plato’s glory. But your girl ran away the second she had to potentially fight for once- even though you and Plato would prevent her coming to irreparable harm. I find that a deplorable action, in and of itself. She was only willing to fight when she could simply do so without being hit. Then she is the target of a single attack, and she leaves. These are the actions of a coward, not a warrior. And cowards have no place on the battle field.” Kizuki also decided to berate Alaistair, having been telling the devil that he’d be better served on Konats than going off world to Namek. He mentioned how he’d died for Alaistair’s purposes before, even going so far as to make a threat should the devil endanger the saiyan’s life again. But he’d turned toward the woman and said he’d try and stop by Vegeta after his business was concluded, which brought a soft smile to the warrior’s face. Even the fact he said he was doing so for the good of the saiyan people, which was precisely the reason she herself was doing what she did. “ Of course. I’d expect nothing less.” And he’d even gone so far as to tell the majin girl that glory isn’t more importance than death. Which, Vennel disagreed with, given the knowledge of how death isn’t as permanent as many may first have believed. “ Indeed, the mission is always the priority. But death isn’t permanent, as you’ve mentioned yourself. And in fact, it is more than possible, it’s quite doable to come back from it. But all that being said, you shouldn’t take your life for granted. So, be careful when you’re in another situation like that.” She wasn’t outright condemning the majin’s actions. Truth be told, Vennel would likely have done similarly had she been there. Though, she would have mostly just made sure that no one interfered with Plato’s grudge match. But as she finished speaking, and Kizuki had turned, as though to leave, he spoke to Vennel’s mind. Of course, however, I am somewhat in a rush. If this Xylo figure is trying to push my people into war, I need to get back and get a good look at the Imperial forces. Can’t have them going off into another war that will no doubt shatter the Empire for good if they’re not ready. Why don’t we talk when you get to Vegeta? Or we could talk like this, works just as well for privacy purposes, if that’s your concern.Things had certainly escalated. It seemed as though Kizuki was ostensibly cutting ties with the devil, his pride not allowing him to work so closely with someone that viewed him as a tool. And she could understand as well. She didn’t care much for Alaistair’s tone in this situation, but she also knew that they had a mutually beneficial agreement, so she had no intentions of cutting him off any time soon. Still, the matters of this conversation had gone from Vennel just wanting to tell Alaistair that she was leaving Konats, to a very pointed conversation and airing of grievances. But Alaistair quickly tried to defuse the situation, and offered them a chance to eat and catch up on what they’d been up to since the battle. Though, the brown haired woman was starting to think this wasn’t the best of ideas. Everyone’s moods had been soured after the conversation thus far. “ I don’t think that’d be the best of ideas. At least, not anymore. Thank you, for your hospitality as always. However, I’ve a tight schedule to meet. Most notably, returning to Vegeta. Their call for active warriors to return was sent out weeks ago. No doubt the mobilization of their forces has begun, and I need to get appraised of their progress, for fear they go to war before they’re ready. And if I know Zucceta and her decisions, that’s exactly what they’re doing.” She wasn’t going to leave just yet, but she did want to stress the fact she had to go sooner rather than later. She’d put this off for far too long, but as a result, she’d gained enough strength that she felt she was surely getting close to the power she’d need to take back her throne. She’d linger for a bit longer, waiting to hear replies from all parties involved. Though her time there was short.
