[Medium Weights On]
Cipher could only stand there, looking down at the form laying on the bed. His dear Porsalynne, laying there unconcious, hooked up to various machinery that was keeping her alive. Even though she was an android, her construction was similar to that of a humans, making human medicine could be of some use. Although it could only do so much. She would need some serious repairs down to her. He felt nothing as he heard the gentle beeping of the life support system, the only thing keeping her in this world. It was like everything had suddenly ceased to exist.
It's all my fault...
The Red Eclipse, they had done this to her. They attacked and left the Western Capitol in ruins, all to simply get at him. Why? He had done nothing to them. It seemed like the only reason they did it was to make him suffer.
"Mr Cipher?"
Cipher slowly turned, his gaze empty as he looked at the nurse. She seemed to recoil somewhat from the blank stare.
"I-I just wanted to inform you that visiting hours are over. B-But we have contacted the Big Blu, their sending some of their best over to take care of Miss Porsalynne."
Cipher gave a small nod. No doubt Dr Majar would be sent along with them. He was the one who had helped awaken her in the first place. Without a word, he quietly left the room. He was sure he heard the nurse sigh in relief, no longer being under that intense, yet blank stare.
He stood outside in the hallway for a moment, his mind trying to process everything. The woman he loved was laying in that room, barely alive, all because of one really evil monster and his group of scum.
Everyone in the hallway jumped back when Cipher suddenly punched the wall, burying his hand into the plaster.

Kaula was simply waiting outside the hospital room, leaning against the wall as she waited for the android to exit the room. That long sword of her's occasionally clanking against the wall as she shifted her weight while she waited.. She didn't really know either of them well, but she still considered herself a protector of this island. So she simply took it personally when some creepy man had decided to send bombers to hurt one of it's inhabitants.
Her eyes were closed, however, when Cipher had finally left the room, however the sound of the android burying his hand to the nearby wall only warranted the saiyan hybrid to open up a single eye. "I know you are mad. But don't ruin the place any. But then again, Blue Banner could probably pay for it." Kaula said before she closed her eyes again, sighing.
Cipher likely heard that Kaula was one of the first people on the scene. She was also the one who happened to kill the other two bombers. It might have been a little surprising, considering how vocal the half saiyan was about how much she didn't like Blue Banner. But, still. Here she was. "How is she, anyway?"
((BAH! Sorry for the small post. Also @tokoz))

[Heavy Weights On] PL: 59,284 It was a bit eerie, watching the form of Walker moving down the street toward the hospital. He was not smiling, and he had not taken off his armor or blade since the incident. The Bio-Android had been moving slowly about the island's perimeter, crisscrossing the landmass almost constantly. He had failed to see the threat coming before, and it had resulted in Porsalynne being physically injured, and Cipher emotionally scarred. He had heard of Ki sense, the ability most people used to identify power level. Scargot, his master, had sown the seeds when he taught Walker Telepathy, and during his vigil, the tree had been practicing relentlessly.
It was an odd feeling, trying to see the life energies of people, but after learning to seek out minds in order to speak to them, the concept was not far removed. It had taken time, but as he patrolled, he began to catch flickers from each person that passed. The flickers were originally only visible from the strongest energies on the island, but soon they began to increase in number. It was almost beautiful. To the tree, the ki signatures appeared as little dancing shapes of light, captured within the outline of the person who bore them. Each was different, even if only slightly. For people like Kaula, or Reikiko, the glow was far stronger than that of most people. He wasn't quite sure he would be able to put a number to it, but after a good look, it seemed easy enough to compare his own power level to that of others. As it stood, though, no follow up attack had been launched, and he wanted to see if Cipher was holding up.
Striding up to the doors, his movement was silent, as it had been in the street behind him. Floating just above the ground tended to muffle your footsteps. The doors slid open, and those within looked up, startled, as the tree... smacked his head on the doorframe. The entry was about 7 feet tall, and the ceiling not much taller. Walker tried squatting, but that did not quite work either. He attempted to get on his knees, but that merely resulted in his speed being slowed to a crawl. Finally, thoroughly exasperated, he prepared to fly to the roof. Perhaps he would be able to contact Cipher by telepathy. He was taking off, when he stopped, hovering in mid air. The massive hand impacted his face, and Walker sat down, cross legged. With a burst of Ki, he lifted slightly off the ground, paying careful attention to his control. He was glad that he had spent all that time diving off the lookout to strengthen his fine details in the art of "Sky Dancing." as the Crane School put it.
Cross legged, and hands on his legs, the tree floated down the hallways, thankfully wide enough to allow passage without causing traffic jams. It took a minute to locate Cipher, since the android's energy did not appear, but he was able to locate Kaula's power, and headed for the Saiyan's glow. Turning the corner, he saw the pair, Cipher with his fist in the wall, and the Nekojin leaning against it. "Mr. Cipher. I'm sorry I did not come sooner, but I was worried about the potential of a counter-attack. I hope things are progressing favorably." He was tempted to voice his suspicions, that the damnable wretch was still alive, but now seemed hardly the time. Cipher was obviously angry, and offering him a target to chase after could cause irreparable harm to the current tensions. Komoto had to pay, but starting a war on Avalon's behalf was in nobody's interest.
Walker learned [SU1] Ki Sense (Will probably do some training for it IC with Scargot, since it's one of his only two Gi techniques, but not having it was starting to become annoying, and he's semi-gone right now, thus my thread with him's stalled.)

It was only then that Cipher became aware of Kaula's presence. He took a deep breath, pulling his hand out of the wall. "My apologies," he said softly, his voice trying to remain calm, but unable to hide the pain he was going through. He straightened himself up, turning to look at the Saiyan. "The doctors have done all they've can. Scientists are coming in from the Big Blu in order to finish the treatment." Even though she was alive, and he was confident in the scientist's abilities, he still couldn't help but feel afraid at the mere possibility of losing her.
Sensing his presence before he rounded the corner, Cipher looked over to see Walker floated over to them. Normally he would have found it a rather strange means of travel, but right now both of them had other things to care about. "It's ok. I wouldn't put it past the Red Eclipse to try something." He glanced over at the window into the ward, seeing Porsalynne laying there. "She's stable. But there's still more to do."
Now that both of them were here though, a thought occurred to Cipher. His gaze hardened as he turned to Kaula and Walker. "What became of Komoto? You seemed to have him at your mercy when I left." His voice was completely flat, but one could easily sense the burning anger underneath, the desire to see the sadistic majin did for his crimes.

While Kaula had been waiting for mister grumpy droid to remove his hand from the wall, Kaula started to pick at her finger nails. Geeze. They got so dirty and long so fast, she thought with a frown. Pretty lame. Why couldn't they just stay short or something. Still, she brought them to her mouth, chewing on them lightly as she watched Cipher. "Eh." she muttered with a shrug, "Don't worry about it. I break things when I get mad, too. Just don't go crazy, ya know?" the saiyan said before she looked off to the side... .... To see the floating tree man. She wasn't too surprised. Kaula sorta always expected things to be odd near Walker. He wasn't exactly a normal thing. He was, infact, odd himself.
However as Cipher mentioned Red Eclipse, her mind went back to the attack scene. The fuck even was Red Eclipse? She heard some Blue Banner Army people talk about it. "So.. Fill me in. That's like, well, the third time or something I heard that name. The fuck is a Red Eclipse? Guessin' it's a group of people. Is that- or rather, was that weird majin creep in it?" she asked. The Saiyan paused before remembering what they did, "I'm assuming they are also bad. Do you consider them a threat to Avalon, mister Blue Banner guy?" she asked. Sure. The Saiyan really didn't like the BBA. She didn't like them at all, usually due to the fact she didn't trust them. However this time she curbed the fact she didn't trust them for the moment, this was more important. She contemplated about hunting after this group.. However if she ended up doing that, then it might bring some unwanted attention to Avalon, again. And that could be directed at Reikiko. The Saiyan frowned some at this thought. Besides, if this group was after the Blue Banner Army.. Then Avalon would probably still be targeted due to the amount of Blue Banner people protecting this place, which only made her continue to frown. Great.
Granted, they started talking about Komoto. Wait. The guy who they got to? The one Yami reached first. "Oh. The weird Majin?" she asked with a slight shrug as she recalled the scene. Yami pouncing. Stabbing the pink thing. Simply exploding it with ease. "Yami blew him up. Like.. Really blew him up..-" Kaula went to hold her hands out, her fingers wiggling in an 'explosion' motion as she made an explosion noise with her mouth, "-Yami no Reikiko. She's like.. One half of Reikiko. But she also.. Like.. The strongest person on Earth or something. Stronger then me." she said, holding up a hand with two fingers sticking out. "People think she's evil.. But I am starting to doubt that." she continued. She recalled what she had said earlier. Something about Eden. Kaula had no clue what it ment, so she'd have to wait till Reikiko regained her memories to find that out. But, she went back to the conversation at hand, "Well.. I think he's probably dead. But at the same time.." she hesitated for a second, thinking, "But at the same time.. I have a nagging feeling that we're gonna hear about this stupid group again sometime soon. If I didn't think it would cause negative consequences to Avalon, I'd be already out there starting to hunt them down."

The floating tree had settled down while the two were speaking, his eyes closed. He was frowning, though it was difficult to tell with his mouth being hard to discern while closed. If he said nothing, then he would likely regret it. Cipher had been wounded deeply by Komoto. If he was still alive, he needed to be aware, in case future attacks happened. Even if it was just a chance. Sighing deeply, Walker looked up. "Kaula, I've been thinking. Do you remember Booberry, that strange blue creature that attacked us? He was a Majin, like Komoto, but he split himself up." Miming two things separating, he continued. "He seemed to suffer no ill effects, and rejoined without issue. He also seemed to take far more damage than he dished out. I suspect Komoto would not have been killed unless he was roasted by a Ki attack. As it was..."
Shrugging, the tree leaned against the wall, moving out of the way of a convoy of nurses. "I greatly doubt he's dead, really. I myself want to chase after him, but that could easily invite an all out war with Red Eclipse, and if what Bing tells me is right, a being called Alastair." Pausing, the tree shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not tremendously worried about that, as all of the fighters we've met so far from those factions have been less than half the power levels of Kaula and I, at a guess. But still, there's other ways they can get to us." Gesturing into the room, he clenched his other fist. "Cowardly tactics like this, for example. For which that arrogant flan bastard will pay dearly." It was a bit of a shock hearing the words come from his own mouth. He was... not enraged, like he had been before. But something was burning slowly, like coals in the bottom of his mind. It was new, and while he didn't like it, it seemed justified. It would take a while longer before the tree determined the name of this new feeling. Hate. In the current conversation, however, there were more important things to focus on. Walker threaded his hands together, and looked down. "I am not sure if either of you are familiar with my... with Bio... With creatures like me. Rei had to consume a Super Saiyan to become as she is now, correct? I don't think I am brave enough to try and face a monster like that, but... if I am ready when we find Komoto.." His words were halting, as if saying them caused physical pain. "He is a cancer, without a doubt. If I can remove him from the world, and help protect Avalon at the same time... I will likely try to use his genetic makeup to ascend to Semi Perfect."

So, Komoto may still be alive after all. Still, the thought of Yami Reikiko blowing the arrogant majin to pieces did give him some satisfaction. Hopefully he suffered for that. As Walker spoke about wanting to go after the Red Eclipse, Cipher nodded.
"The Red Eclipse appear to be nothing more than a bunch of thugs preying on the defenseless. Even that Saiyan had to go Oozaru in order to be a match for me. But you're right Walker, there's more to them than we know. They had managed to get suicide bombers into Avalon after all. Who knows what else they may have up their sleeve." He had to admit, this group was resourceful. It also gave him the feeling that Komoto, while having some power in the organization, wasn't the brains behind it. After all, a group led by that psychopaths wouldn't exactly get by unnoticed as they had until now. Someone was definitely working things from behind the scenes.
"Though the idea of you having to take in that monster's DNA in order to evolve sickens me, if that is what you wish, then go for it. Just so long as he pays for all the lives he's stolen."

The young Saiyan warrior opened up her mouth to let out a mighty yawn that would leave lions envious as she raised her arms up to have a good stretch. She wasn't.. Just bored. She was also kind of tired. A combination of the two, probably. Her hands eventually lowered, one stopping at her face to rub at it gently, "Well.. If they are nothing other then a bunch of thugs, then they shouldn't be hard to kill. Right?" she asked as that hand moved from her face to that glorious mane of hers.
Kaula's eyes eventually glanced towards Walker when he had spoken about the Super Saiyan Reikiko had eaten to get stronger before she split. More specifically.. How she called it a monster. The girl chuckled out, "A super saiyan isn't a monster. It's the strongest warrior in the universe." she'd state as she rolled her eyes, scoffing softly. A monster. Yeah right. However.. Those words caused the small saiyan hybrid to think about what Hikari had said. If she didn't gain responsibility.. Then she'd lose herself..? No. That sounds stupid. If she went Super Saiyan, she wouldn't turn to some monster. She'd be a living, breathing legend. No one would be able to stop her. Lost in her thoughts, Kaula went to smile slowly. She liked these thoughts.

(Short post, sorry, just needed to get something out. Gonna be hectic for a day or two_
Kaula's words struck false to the tree, but she seemed to believe them. Shaking his head, Walker looked over at her. "Ms. Kaula, I truly hope you are right. Athren was supposedly a good person, a friend to Kami, but upon gaining the transformation, he began a mass slaughter of West City that only ended when Reikiko killed him, absorbing his power, and becoming the strongest being on the planet. Every Saiyan I have seen transformed has become brutal, violent, and resulted in many deaths. I just hope you are aware of that." He seemed distracted, as if something was tugging at his attention, but did not elaborate on that. Instead, he turned back to Cipher.
"I agree, the idea of eating someone like him is sickening. However, I refuse to kill someone merely for my own increase in strength." Staring down at his fist, he clenched it, and looked up. Somehow, despite lacking most of the features of a typical eye, he managed to give a fairly serious piercing stare. "If I did that, I would be no better than him. No, Komoto needs to be dealt with anyway, and that gives me an appropriate window to ascend to the next stage of my evolution. I'm not happy to be consuming him, but Majin is one of the DNA sources I do not have, and it will likely be of benefit."

Cipher watched the small exchange between Kaula and Tokoz. He didn't know much about Athren, only sensing his power during Operation Downfall, and knowing that Reikiko had absorbed him. He didn't know what sort of person he was like, and for all he knew, he could have been the monster that Walker was describing him has. However, there was one thing he had to say.
"Not every person who has achieved the transformation has become a monster." he spoke up, "I can tell you that two such individual, Daiki and Ninjin of the Turtle School, have achieved the transformation, and neither have seemed to have become more violent and vicious." Though he still worried about Daiki, but that was more due to his opposition to the BBA, rather than his own disposition. "Though I do agree that such a degree of power has the potential to corrupt. It wasn't long after Reikiko absorbed Athren, their split occurred. That's why I worry about you absorbing Komoto. While you say Athren was a monster at the time of his death, we know that Komoto is a sadistic, manipulative psychopath. It's not his DNA becoming part of you that I worry about, but his evil potentially infecting you." Walker was a good person. Cipher didn't want to risk losing his new friend, even if it got him his revenge on that monster.

Kaula started to shake her head as Walker continued to talk about the whole subject. Psh. As if. If Kaula ever got that strong, she would NEVER become like that. Probably. She eventually glanced towards Cipher as he spoke, rolling her eyes lightly, "The one called Daiki is a fool. He is not a Saiyan." she'd say as she inspected her nails. "Not a real one, anyway. Raised on Namek." she tacked on with a scoff, shaking her head lightly. "A saiyan raised on Namek." she repeated as she laughed lightly. It seemed to really amuse the girl.
However, she still listened to Cipher's whole talk about the absorbing and how Reikiko got weird. She took a second to think about Mr. Barkington here eating up the Majin. ... And then acting like him. Kaula shivered at the thought and shook her head, "If you're gonna be all evil after eating him. ... Maybe you shouldn't." she stated before stretching lightly. "But besides all this. We need to talk at the thing at hand. What should we do about the Red Eclipse?"

The pair had a point, but still, Walker was not particularly convinced there was another option. He was not about to murder someone merely for a power increase, and it would need to be a fighter of at least moderate power to increase his abilities. In addition, his body had drawn from Namekians, Arcosians, Humans, and apparently, a singular Demon. The addition of a Majin would be a wonderful addition. Besides, while he had echoes of the people he had absorbed, there was no indication that he would go fully evil if he ate someone like that. Nothing had occurred when he consumed the tribal leader.
"I appreciate your concern, but I believe it should not be an issue. I've dealt with a demon talking to me in my head for weeks, and I've been told that's usually a sign of evil. Of course, when I talk back, he says he gets "Feedback" and hangs up." Unaware how utterly ridiculous that sounded, Walker continued. "As for the Red Eclipse, Komoto, at the very least, needs to be dealt with. I do not wish to embroil Avalon in a war, and while we might be able to dispose of them on our own, I suspect backup would be helpful." Clasping his hands, he looked up. "However, another worry comes to mind. Komoto is clearly deserving of retribution, as may be the Saiyan you fought. However... are the other members guilty of any capital crimes? Have they warranted their own extinction?" The tree looked troubled. "I do not wish to slaughter all for the crimes of one."

Cipher was a little surprised to hear this about Daiki. He didn't know that he was raised by Namekians. The very thought of a warrior being like a Saiyan being raised by pacifistic Namekians seemed almost comical. Well, it would explain why he wasn't as violence happy as the others.
Though not completely free of it.
As Walker spoke his peace, he nodded in response. He trusted Walker's mind to be able to resist Komoto's evil. After all, he was easily resisting that of a demon. Though that did leave him curious about just what demon the bio android had absorbed. As he then spoke about the rest of the Red Eclipse, Cipher spoke up. "The Saiyan that caused the devastation to the Western Capitol has to pay for his crimes. He slaughtered all those people, simply because it was fun, because they were weaker than him. He only went Oozaru when I confronted him. There's no doubt in my mind that he's an evil man and must be stopped. I don't know about the rest of the Red Eclipse, but if their members are willing to die to commit such acts of evil, such as the suicide bombing, then there's no doubt in my mind that we must put an end to this organization.
However, there is truth to what you say. Senselessly killing people all because of one person wont make us any better than them. Though we still must capture them, if only they can face justice for their own crimes. Before this incident, I was told they were a criminal organization, plaguing the innocent long before this madness."

Kaula let out a huff as she listened to them both. Evil people eating, saiyans destroying cities and slaughtering people. She yawned out a bit, stretching slowly as she shook her head a bit. She was up for waaaay too long to really deal with all of this stuff. She started to scratch at her cheek a little bit before she simply shrugged, eventually just dusting her armor off.
"Regardless about all this talk of eating creepy evil people and punishing genocidal Saiyans who destroy cities.. You two can figure what to do." she said as she waved them off. "I'll likely help you guys." she said, starting to take a few steps away. "For now.. I shall be going to bed. Too tired to really deal with all this." And with those words, she'd likely try to leave, unless stopped.
((Sorry guys. ;-; Attempting exit, I want Zeni))

Walker nodded slowly, listening to the pale android. It was a wise course of action. Surely the BBA would be able to get a decent picture of what the Red Eclipse was up to. As Kaula shrugged, turning to leave, the tree glanced over. "I will likely follow our Flahwury friend's example. I suspect you want some time alone with Ms. Porsalynne." Reaching over, he patted Cipher on the shoulder.
"She will be alright, Mr. Cipher. All will be well." Looking contemplative for a moment, he raised a finger. "To be fair, all may be well after a short and brutal bout of violence against a chaotic power, but it will be well, I have confidence." Turning, he lifted himself up again, and began navigating his way back outside. It really was rather inconvenient being so large at times. Perhaps, should he have any choice in his next form, he would attempt to scale down a tad. [Exiting thread, PL please]
