How in the world had it come to this? It was that question that resounded in the bio-android's mind repeatedly when they arrived at Scargot's lookout. In fact, the moment the two of them had descended toward the ground Reikiko's eyes instinctively wandered around the area. A large platform-like construction on top of a tower that quite literally towered above all other things within the world, in a place like this there could be only two type of individuals who would have volunteered to live here. People with a smug attitude who believed they were better than others, and therefore allowed to live 'above' them, but since Scargot didn't seem to be that type of person there was only the other sort left... A person who observed people from above, there was clearly only a single person who qualified for that description, right? Indeed, the person known as 'Kami'. To think that the Namekian was a god was outrageous, but then again it did explain how he knew so much about her. Still, to think the figurative god of fools was quite literally a Kami No Baka, made her a little bit amused.
Upon their arrival at the lookout Reikiko's initial impression of the place was that despite its nice view, there was something off about this place. Perhaps it was the thought that the lack of things to do would soon lead her to getting bored, but at the same time she couldn't help but notice a few other issues. The first one was that she questioned the idea of a god inviting her to stay with him, in the end weren't gods most of the times on the heroic side? It was almost akin to letting a villain sleep in a tent full of heroines... And everyone knew there were three type of scenarios in such a case. The villain kidnapped all the heroines, the heroines ganged up and killed the villain or... The villain was actually a likeable idiot and turned the whole tent into his harem.
Yeah right, as if she was a likeable idiot, not to mention she didn't even consider the idea of obtaining a harem! What either meant that someday she would kill this god, or he would kill her. A deep sigh escaped from the little bio-android as she approached the building at the center of the platform, only noticing as she walked that the high altitude of their location had left her a bit exhausted. Perhaps training here would be more beneficial than she had thought?
Of course, with her mentality often being comparable to that of a child Reikiko soon found herself growing mildly bored once she explored the surrounding area, what aside from some decorations was lacking anything to truly interest her, and she had yet to actually enter the building. However, the little bio-android soon marched over toward Scargot and looking up at him declared in an almost commanding fashion.
"We need to get some apples here Uncle, without an apple garden this place would be rather dull, don't you agree? So use your Kami powers to create a mountain of apples!"
Nodding her head firmly at the genial idea she had just thought of Reikiko seemed oblivious to the method on how apples were created. In the end despite her fondness of the fruit she had never actually seen an apple tree, the areas she visited in the bamboo forest having lacked them. At the same time within the back of her mind Reikiko's thoughts returned to their earlier conversation. She wanted to get stronger, what meant she needed to do this thing called training. However, would Scargot be strong enough to actually help her with such a thing? Then perhaps after they finished the preparations for their mountain of apples she would ask him for some sparring. She had to admit she was curious to figure out the strength of this man. In the end it was rather unfortunate that she had yet to develop a means to accurately calculate someone's power level. Sure she might have sensed simple things like when someone stirred their ki into a more powerful presence, possessing the means to sense the ki itself. However, she had yet to master the aspect of sensing one's strength.

Scargot watched the small white bio-android flying with him towards his lookout, he had many plans for this one and maybe he can change a beings life that was created for evil, maybe he can make them achieve good things and be an ally rather than an enemy. If he was able to do this it would prove to not only the world but to himself that he was a great choice for Kami and he was in touch with nature and every living being on Earth.
Once they landed on the lookout Scargot stood back and watched as Reikiko went off and explored. As she did Scargot got to thinking as to what he could do to make her more at home and feeling safer up here. Scargot didn’t know exactly what Rei thought of the place since she was created in a lab then forced to live in the woods for most of her life maybe this place wouldn’t be so bad for her, Scargot just had to show that he was there for her to protect and help her. Scargot closed his eyes for a second as he locked onto Reikiko’ energy signal and began to read her mind, it seemed she didn’t know if she would be able to stay long. Disheartening to here at least he knew what she was thinking, Scargot knew she would never hurt him but if she still had to work that out for herself that was fine, it was just going to have to be added to the training.
"We need to get some apples here Uncle, without an apple garden this place would be rather dull, don't you agree? So use your Kami powers to create a mountain of apples!" Reikiko turned around yelling to Scargot who simply laughed at being called uncle even in his original form, he could get used to it as it sounded better then her calling him Scargot all the time. Scargot then walked over to the garden bed, he knelt down in front of it and took out the few apple seeds that he took from the apples before when they were down in the forest. Showing Reikiko the seed before putting it into the dirt and holding his hand over it he began to put his energy into it and a little bit of Namekian magic, the seed began to grow under his hand and within a few seconds the seed had grown into a plant and just a little bit longer it was a tree with nice big red apples on it.
Scargot picked an apple from the tree and turned to Reikiko, still tapped into Reikiko’ mind Scargot decided to show off a bit more by talking to her with his mind. Simply smiling and holding out the apple in his hand he spoke to her with telepathy, “Cool isn’t it, with a little bit of energy and a strong connection, anything can grow to be beautiful.” Putting the apple onto Reikiko’ tail Scargot turned and began walking around the lookout, closer to the temple.
Scargot would then turn around as he got to the steps to the temple and wink at Reikiko before talking to her again with his mind, “Come on, you can have more apples later.” He then sat down on the stairs and looked up at the sky; he then held his hands together and closed his eyes as if he was praying. Praying for the strength and the mentality to look after someone other than himself on this lookout and help Reikiko get stronger and fight to find her destiny.

There was no way Reikiko could have expected that the Namekian was capable of reading her mind. Of course it was questionable whether she would have actually tried to conceal her thoughts if she did knew. In the end she wasn't the type to play the role of a deceiver, she was way too direct for that. Fortunately for the little bio-android it seemed that Scargot didn't intend to reject her suggestion, and when he walked over to a nearby garden bed the bio-android couldn't help but find herself bending down beside him, looking with a clear hint of fascination at the display of magic that he was about to use. Obviously she had been a bit confused about the whole idea of placing one of those seeds into the soil, in the end she had expected that he would just conjure them out of nowhere. Nevertheless, when he had finished covering the seed under the soil the hand that became coated in a green hue of energy stirred a little 'Ooh~' from the bio-android, who watched a small plant poke out from amidst the soil. How in the world had that little seed grown into such a plant? It left her feeling a little bit bewildered at the idea.
Of course her curiosity turned into a clear sense of amazement when several moments passed and the plant grown into a large tree. When Scargot's voice suddenly resounded through her mind the little one could feel a light shudder ran across her spine. While she had experienced something like telepathy before during her time in the laboratory, the actual thing was a lot different, and it made her just a bit restless at the idea that the Namekian could actually read her mind. Then again, with her mouth pretty much saying the same thing that ran through her mind she doubted that it would have been a problem. In the end she did like to voice her thoughts, not caring whether she sounded harsh or not. Still, the whole confusion surrounding the growth of the apple tree had left her a bit confused. So the use of energy and a powerful connection could create apples? That sounded like a pretty fancy trick! Of course the moment he actually tried to place the apple on top of her stinger, Reikiko couldn't help but find her face turn red again in embarrassment. For some reason it really was a pleasant feeling, to get to absorb an apple.
Still, when the Namekian started to make his way back to the temple, she found herself instinctively follow him, wanting to figure out more about him and what he was planning. The solemn look on his face as he closed his eyes and clapped his hands together in a prayer caused Reikiko to silently wonder what he was doing. Was he doing some imagination training? If that was the case she would have much rather have tried to actually spar with him, but for some reason she doubted he was actually training. No, this felt a lot more like he was doing something akin to meditation.
"What are you doing?"
It was a simple question, but judging from the expression on the bio-android's face it was clear that she had been confused about his actions. Confused and fascinated at what the man was doing. Nevertheless, the words that were spoken in her mind left her to ponder silently. Would she be able to grow like an apple? No, that was merely a silly thought. She wasn't like that! What use would time have aside from honing her strength? She still wouldn't be able to become the perfect being. Then again, maybe for the time being there was no rush to become it, and perhaps she could spend some time to learn more about Scargot and his ideas.
"You're god... So to what would you be praying then? Yourself? That sounds a bit narcissistic Uncle..."
She had heard about it before, about how humans often prayed to their 'god' in the hope of gaining some blessing, or reassurance and comfort in their time of need. It sounded a bit ridiculous honestly, but perhaps there was more to it than it appeared to be? Deciding to let her curiosity take control of her actions Reikiko lightly clapped her hands together, mimicking Scargot's reaction. Of course she didn't actually think anything, rather her mind felt a bit blank for a moment.
"Don't really think I should be doing this. Why should I be doing this thing called praying, when the one I'm supposed to pray toward is right before me. It's much more logical to just open my mouth and speak then."
Life was filled with all sorts of complicated things, and somehow Scargot was exposing her to one thing after another that confused and fascinated her. Still, deep inside she still felt the same thoughts as before. Certainly, she might had lacked the earlier instinctual desire to absorb this Namekian, but she still wanted to evolve. To her growing stronger meant everything, it meant obtaining a purpose and meaning. To her that destiny was everything.
"Then again, I can see why people would pray. The weak often seek the protection of those that are stronger than them. Humans are most likely wont to believe that the strongest being in existence is their god, and in that essence would be praying to them. Still, doesn't this make it more of a method for them to escape their hardships? How can one grow stronger when they are always sheltered from those hardships. It's... confusing."
Praying, what purpose did it hold, and was that really the thing Scargot was doing? That still left her earlier thought, or rather joke about what or to who he was praying to. She lacked the ability to read minds or speak in them, so the only thing she could do was the same thing as other beings could. Ask him about the things that confused her.

As Scargot knelt and prayed for strength and power to train a being and try and change her destiny, the Bio-Android walked over next to Scargot and prayed with him. This was highly unexpected and Scargot was surprised until she started talking and analyzing the situation, he laughed at her comments and opened his eyes turning towards his new friend.
"The way things work is I am the God of Earth so to speak but above me there are other Gods, the Gods of the Universe. I could go into detail and make this a lesson but I'm sure you'd get bored fast. Instead I'll tell you one thing, I'm still new to being a God and sometimes I just need to find the strength to be able to complete my duties." Smiling at Reikiko Scargot stood up and walked out to the middle of the lookout, he turned towards Reikiko and sat down with his legs crossed. The putting his hands together he began to float into the air, with that Scargot began to search the Earth with his Far Sight ability until he found what he was looking for. Looking down close to the bottom of the lookout Scargot found a little village area filled with many Indigenous humans who seemed to live and pray down at the bottom of the lookout. Scargot searched the village and finally found a man who looked to be one of the strongest there, tapping into his mind Scargot began to speak with the man.
"Greetings, My name is Scargot I am the one living atop the lookout and I'm sorry but I am going to be using for a little while." With that the man got to his knees and spoke back to Scargot, "It would be an honor to be used by you great and powerful Scargot." As he said that Scargot began to test his new ability, using his telepathy he was in the mans mind but if he went a bit further Scargot put his own mind into that of the mans. Once he did he opened his eyes, he was in the mans body he ran over to the Lookout and began to climb first putting his two big arms around the pillar and then he would use his feet to push up as he jumped and each time he would catch the lookout as if he was giving it a hug. With each bound he was jumping 2-4 feet causing him to reach the top of the lookout fairly fast.
Once Scargot had reached the top in the mans body he boomed to Reikiko, "Time for your first step of training." The Indigenous man stood at 6'4" and was burly with muscles from all the hunting and looking after his tribe. Scargot' original body was still floating in the air this whole time except now a faint white aura outlined him showing he wasn't in his normal body.
"Cool isn't it Reikiko." Scargot said from the mans body, his voice sounding nothing like his own. "I am controlling this man by placing my mind into his, this is caused by extreme mental training and meditation. Something I will be teaching you, but first I must see you fight in order to get a feel for your fighting style. Now! Attack me!" He said getting into his stance, he wasn't used to such a big body but he was able to control it any way he wanted, maybe he'd go easy on the Bio-Android with this first one just making sure the man doesn't get too hurt... Or worse Absorbed.

So there was even a hierarchy of gods? The mere idea of it astonished her to be honest, but fortunately it seemed that Scargot intended to keep his explanation a bit short. It was safe to assume that a formal lesson would have likely bored the little bio-android, so instead he seemed to had a different type of plan. Watching with a hint of curiosity as Scargot placed himself in a meditating pose, Reikiko could only blink her eyes in confusion when the Namekian started to actually float in the air! Was he using some sort of technique? In the end Scargot had already proven to possess the ability to tap and read into a individual's mind, but little did she expect that this control went even further. As if on cue the sound of approaching footsteps made Reikiko turn her gaze toward the direction the source had come from. It appeared to be a large muscular man, perhaps a guest of Scargot? Initially she found her interest wavering, not sure what to do but when the man suddenly started speaking, she knew something weird was going on. To think that Scargot was actually able to possess people! Such a feat was actually amazing, and in all honesty it made her just a little bit concerned about what she would have done if he tried to possess her. Surely he wouldn't have committed such a thing, right?
"A fight?"
To think the god of earth was telling her to fight against a human... It was akin to a sheep herder telling a wolf to eat one of the sheep was tended to him. She wondered idly about the thought, but in the end shrugged her shoulders lightly, stepping a few paces away from the man. So this was going to be her first opponent? Slowly the bio-android dropped into a combative stance, her hands raised upwards in a motion akin to a boxer about to unleash several jabs. How was she going to open up this battle? Perhaps attempt to get a grasp on the man's speed and strength? A huge muscular man like that must had been strong, but perhaps that large frame would make swift movements difficult for him to counter.
Suddenly breaking out in a sprint Reikiko's ki flared into a visible crimson aura, her body moving rapidly thanks to the ki burst when in the blink of an eye she had already enclosed the distance between herself and her possessed opponent. Her first attempt was a rather simple combination, a rough base that she often used for more complicated attacks. By first lowering her body into a sliding motion Reikiko's hands pressed firmly into the ground to keep herself from moving too far, instead using her low altitude and small frame to keenly make a sweeping attack with her legs at the man's feet. It was a simple attack, but one that came with a surprising amount of speed and a fair enough strength level that could likely make even the man trip or stagger despite his large build, at least if it hit.
If the attack didn't land Reikiko would have used her hands to make a backwards flip and get herself back to safety. However, if she did land her blow Reikiko would have pushed her arms into the ground even more strongly, using her whole body as a means to deliver an uppercut aimed at the man's abdomen. She was actually curious how Scargot would have dealt with such an attack. She might had been small, but she boosted a fair amount of strength in that tiny frame, and having used her whole lower-body to strengthen her uppercut the blow would certainly have hit hard. Even if her attack missed Reikiko would have jumped upwards after that, using her hands again to push herself off the ground and making a spinning motion with her body, attempted to firmly roundhouse kick the potentially vulnerable opponent.
With those three attacks Reikiko had chosen to open her battle, making a backwards flip in midair to land cleanly back on the ground. She moved fast, and that by itself would likely have been a weapon for her to deploy against Scargot. She could have honestly used her tail as soon as she had opened the man's defenses, but for the time being she had thought to play along with Scargot's idea. Absorbing people was her way of gaining power, and for the time being she had chosen to try to follow the Namekian's ways to obtain strength, even if mostly out of curiosity.
"You better be ready Uncle, because next round I'm going full power."
In the end the first few moments of a battle were usually spend trying to get a grasp on your opponents abilities and capacities. Such observation skills were quite important on the battlefield, and fortunately she did possess an eye for detail. Now it was just a matter of finishing this warming up and unleashing her special attacks on this man. Still, it was certain that Scargot would retaliate in his possessed body soon. What type of attacks would the man have possessed? What type of fighting style did he use? So many unfamiliar questions ringed in the back of her mind, but one thing was certain. With a body like that Reikiko was confident in the fact that this man's attacks would have packed quite a punch, enough force behind them to likely inflict quite some damage if she took them head-on.
Perhaps she should play defensive for a bit and try to defend and deflect the attacks? No, merely defending them would at most lower the damage a little. She would have to deflect or avoid them. By deflecting those attacks most of the would likely miss their target, but deflecting a close range attack was quite difficult, bordering to impossible so perhaps she should do her best using her small frame to avoid the various attack possibilities this man might throw at her?

Scargot was surprised with the sheer speed of Reikiko his little Bio-Android companion and that she was so quick he couldn't move his human in time, but this was all according to plan he knew how strong the human was and how much stamina he had so a few blows here and there wouldn't hurt him too much. After having the strike hit his legs the tribal man began to flip but Scargot using his Namekian Dragon Clan fighting style swiftly reach out his right hand using it as a balance point. Because he was controlling the man Scargot could still read Reikiko' mind and his reaction speed was normal but the speed of the tribesman was the only thing holding him back, as the tribal man put out his right hand to recover Scargot swiftly put out the tribesman left hand to stop the counter uppercut that came from Reikiko.
The Tribesman would then push off his right hand flipping into the air away from Reikiko and moving back a few feet. Reikiko may have had the upperhand in strength in this battle but with Scargot being able to see from many different vantage points with his Far Seeing Arts and Telepathy to read Reikiko' mind, there was not much she could do to stop him.
Scargot had seen enough for now, he could tell from that short interaction that Reikiko was fast and knew very well how to fight an opponent bigger than herself, quickly sending the tribesman back down the lookout Scargot landed on the floor of the lookout and walked over to Reikiko smiling.
"I have decided that in order to train you I will need to fight you myself, but not today. I need to make you something first before we start the real training." Scargot put his hand on Reikiko' head and began walking towards the temple, taking a quick detour to pick an apple and throw it towards Reikiko before walking inside with a smile on his face.

That was unexpected. Despite her superior speed it seemed the tribesman had a certain fighting style that seemed unusual for a human to have, not to mention he was able to actually keep her combination from being carried out entirely. Her last kick had failed to land and by the time she had flipped back into a standing position Reikiko found her opponent having enlarged the distance between them. However, it was at that moment that Scargot seemed to have considered that he had seen enough, The idea of having an actual physical training with the Namekian sounded fascinating, a lot more than the idea of sparring against possessed humans, but it appeared that training would have to wait. Despite Scargot's revelation that he needed to make something for her first, Reikiko couldn't help but notice that there was a certain dissatisfaction within her heart. That tribesman shouldn't been able to deflect her blows, in the end she had been trained for combat since the moment she was created. Was it a lack of experience, or a sign that she was still too weak?
Nevertheless, when Scargot tossed the apple into her direction Reikiko's tail swished forwards, puncturing the apple with precise accuracy and looked away from the temple. Was this truly enough? Could she train in such a simple fashion after all the things she had sacrificed? She had killed her father out of malice for his actions. In the end that man had tried to rob her of a free will, and she had devoured her sisters in the hope of obtaining the necessary power to start her evolution toward perfection. She had sacrificed a lot of things to get that far, and she was a bit restless at the thought of how effective, or ineffective this training would be.
It wouldn't have been wrong to say that everything depended on the results she would witness. Would she become capable of evolving without sacrificing other beings? Would Scargot's methods be able to lead her to the same destiny that she desired. Letting out a deep sigh the little bio-android swayed her tail a little and started to walk after Scargot into the temple. She had plenty of things to wonder about, but at least she had plenty of time to do that. Nevertheless, for a final moment she shot a glance toward the end of the lookout. That tribesman had come from somewhere on earth, and it was most likely that Scargot was able to manipulate even a trained fighter their minds. Keeping in mind that he could communicate with her through telepathy, one would also be safe to assume that he'd be able to read her thoughts also. Perhaps she would have to learn to fight in a way where her mind was clear of thoughts, so that one couldn't read the pattern of her attacks? Yet such a thing sounded difficult to accomplish. In the end strategies were often what helped to decide a battle, but perhaps she would be able to find a different way...
PL for me please (Reikiko didn't have her weights at the start of this thread)
