Kaula sighed as she closed her eyes as she simply sat in the shuttle. She hadn't wasted any time. Granted, she wasn't too happy at the moment with what she had to do to get here, but that'll come later. She had heard all about what was going on, mostly with the whole Virtual Poi thing. She wanted- No. She needed to get in touch with some of the Blue Banner Army people, such as Cipher or, as much as she hated it, that prick named Liang. However, since Avalon had been attacked, she didn't fully know how to go about getting in touch with the people. With Reikiko being all quiet ever since what happened to Hikari.. Well.. She just decided to take matters in her own hands. ... And that involved stealing borrowed Hikari's Blue Banner Army identification so she could fly her ass up to the command ship and cause a ruckas till she got what she wanted. So, for now, she was relaxing in that rickety shuttle she.. Borrowed as well! It wasn't until she got close enough to one of the bay doors that she had managed to get an incoming transition from the capital ship. "Identify yourself." was all that came to her as she went to clear her throat. If she wanted this to work, it would have to be totally flawless. She glanced at Hikari's ID for a moment before going to nod. Flawless, she reminded herself. "I am Ensign Hikari. I am hear to speak with fellow members.. And.. All. ID number.." and after that she rattled off the identification numbers, the made sure to be doing her best Hikari impersonation. It might not have been perfect, but it was good enough, since apparently she was let in. The shuttle was granted access to the landing bay and it simply landed. Kaula sighed. She had been keeping her power supressed to prevent people from noticing her too well, but as she sat there.. She started to think of how to go about this. She had come so far, might as well get ballsy. She patted her knees lightly before moving to stand up. She slowly made her way to the door before going to literally kick it open. She started to trudge out of the shuttle, glaring at some of the troopers who soon began to notice that she clearly didn't look like she was in the Blue Banner Army, let alone Hikari herself. "Where in the hell is Cipher 24. Or, that asshole. The one human..." she said as she went to start waving one of her hands in the air for a moment as she thought, before she snapped her fingers together, " Liang! I want to speak to both of them. This instant!" she said. Of course, her outburst only likely earned herself to get surrounded by troops. There was a sudden spark of lightening near the girl, flashing as a golden Aura shot up around her. Her angry, Emerald eyes turning teal as she stomped her foot down. Her tail, turning golden like her hair starting to wrap around her waist. "I mean fucking now! You think this is a fucking game!? Or are you so called defenders going to turn down the help that was asked from my planet!?" she roared out. If they weren't earlier, there might be some kind of threat level.. Considering a semi-hostile Saiyan was in the hanger now. It would likely be best for the whole thing to be resolved quickly before potential attacks were thrown that would hurt innocent people. ( Tania, you can join in as well. :3)

"Sir, we have a problem?"
Cipher turned to the technician at the console of the Big Blu's bridge. "Yes ensign?"
"We just had a shuttle land in the shuttle bay. The pilot identified themselves as Ensign Hikari. They even had her identification number." Cipher blinked in response. He knew that Ensign Hikari was in a coma due to the events at Avalon. There was no way she could be here. Before he could respond, a soldier burst onto the bridge. "Sir! An intruder is causing problems in the shuttle bay. She's been identified as a Saiyan sir! A Super Saiyan!"
A sharp snarl appeared on Cipher's face. Well, it was pretty clear who faked Hikari to get on board. He had expected Zucetta to try some sort of invasion of Earth sooner or later. He just didn't expect it now. Trust her to pull such a cowardly move! He quickly left the bridge, making way towards the hanger bay.
Thankfully, it didn't take him very long. He knew the ship's layout inside and out, and with his speed, it took him no time at all to reach the shuttle bay. He could indeed sense the Saiyan's power as he approached. Definitely on level with a Super Saiyan. However, what caught his attention was the power signature itself. He recognized it.
Could it be...?[/i]
The doors opened to the shuttle bay and he strode on in, finding none other than Kaula standing in the shuttle bay, showing her Super Saiyan transformation and surrounded by numerous soldiers with their weapons trained on her (not that they'd be very effective). Their eyes turned to their commander as he entered.
"Stand down," he instructed, the men stepping back almost too quickly. He suspected they were glad they didn't have to fight the Saiyan. He strode towards Kaula, his eyes sharp. "You know," he said, crossing his arms, "If you wanted to speak with me, you could have contacted me ahead of time. There's no need to cause a ruckus, nor impersonate someone in a coma." He clearly wasn't happy about what she did regarding Hikari's ID.

The Super Saiyan was eyeing all the soldiers as she stood there. However, she heard Cipher's voice. She glanced towards him for a moment before she moved to drop the transformation. Her tail uncurled from her waist as she stared at him. "Didn't know how to reach you and didn't want to go through a bunch of boring waiting." she said with a soft huff.
She turned her head, spitting at the ground when she did, "Besides. She wouldn't be in a fucking coma if your stupid leader didn't look up so much cheap porn or whatever and get a virus." she'd continue. That was.. Quite an insult. But, of course, Kaula was pissed. She was pissed beyond all reason. She lost someone she considered a mentor. A friend.
"Either way. I was sent here by the person in charge of Vegeta while Zucceta is off taking care of other things. You know, to help you all." she said as she crossed her arms, "And the queen doesn't know. So as soon as we do this, the better and all." she continued as she glanced around. "Your family okay?" she'd ask. Kaula knew they were on Avalon before. So, of course, she was a bit worried they might have gotten hurt in the attack. That was when she remembered something. Her eyes narrowed a little bit. She couldn't necessarily sense Cipher. That likely ment that he, too, was an android.
"You guys know if your leader ain't infectious to your stuff..? Like.. That virus won't get in other Blue Banner stuff." she asked as she reached out to poke Cipher, "Like you or whatever?" She was a bit concerned. A single infected android was one thing. But a massive, planet occupying army full of super technological stuff and multiple androids that the virus could potentially get to would definitely be another thing.

Post by Liang on Aug 3, 2015 1:43:46 GMT
In the middle of a set of sit-ups and push-ups, Liang sat confined in his personal assigned quarters of the ship. His combat uniform still in tatters, he heaved a sigh as he sat up from the last of a set, his intercom ringing on his desk. Scratching his head and ruffling his hair, he rose to his feet, withdrawing a small tie from a pocket of his black gi pants to swiftly confine his hair into a short, messy tail with bangs to spare. Sweeping the front bangs from his eyes, he slowly waltzed his way over to the intercom, slapping the receive button unceremoniously. ''...Yeah?'' ''Cipher, Liang! Please report to the docking area. We have a potential red level threat on the scene; the stranger appears to be incredibly similar to the Super Saiyan witnessed at West City during the crisis. Please report as soon as possible; while she hasn't done anything yet, we don't quite know how the situation will develop.'' ...Super Saiyan? ...She? ''Could it be the harpy finally found her potential? I can't think of any other who might return to us, or who even knows of us, who would fit that description otherwise.'' Having long disconnected the channel by this point, he chuckled to himself. If his suspicions were correct, it would be interesting to see how far the woman's path had taken her. With her volatile anger and personality he had no idea what to expect, so he walked over to a rack in his quarters, withdrawing an orange and gold construction looking much like a knuckle duster. Fitting it into the palm of his hand and clenching his fingers around it with a smile, he turned on a heel, his sleeveless white gi swaying lightly with his motions. His taped to the elbow arms followed suit of his up to the knee taped legs, leaving space for his fingers and toes to move freely; nice and secure. ''Satya Yuga. While I haven't had many opportunities to practice, if this goes south, maybe i'll have my chance.''
If he could claim to know one thing about the woman, it was her tendency to have an overly negative way of expression. There were plenty on this ship that wouldn't appreciate a quality like that, so he decided to get his ass in gear in case a brawl broke out; he was fairly confident it was the Saiyan woman, and he caught a brief signature of her energy before it wildly spiked. His eyes widening in a slight state of panic, he burst from his quarters with Satya Yuga still clenched in its miniature form in his hand and tore off down the hallway, knocking over a few sluggish Blue Banner personnel along the way. Turning the corner to the docking area, his eyes scanned her figure up and down; he almost wanted to smile. He would have, were it not for the presently unknown circumstances of her visit and the fact that she'd just entered a Super Saiyan state onboard the Banner's flag ship with no prior warning. Her just being her sort of did the trick, too. Stepping forward to come side by side with Cipher and prepared to transfer into his Ro'Shi state at a whim, already kneading his chi into his muscle fibers, he quirked an eyebrow at the overheard parts of their introductions. The men suddenly stood down, and Liang's strangely off-timed goofy personality came full circle as he clapped the android on the shoulder. ''Cipher, buddy, i'm hurt. You're not the only active KAOS on the ship, after all!'' He offered that cheesy grin that would probably get under the harpy's skin, strangle reminiscent of the one that followed up his comment on her height from their first encounter. ''Wait. Did I hear her right? You asked for their help?''
It was immediately clear Liang wasn't a part of the fan club for this particular idea. He had his reservations about Saiyans, not to mention potentially bringing a war party to Earth to help fight Vi-Poi. While they certainly could use the strength, exactly how far could a Saiyan be trusted? Surely if Vi-Poi fell, any Saiyans in this strike force (assuming Kaula wasn't the only one) would probably have enough of a mind to turn on their temporary allies like a pack of rabid dogs. Desperate times called for desperate measures, but to Liang, it seemed like this situation was just going to solve a problem with another problem... ''Cipher. You're sure about this?''
(Apologies on late post! Twelve hour shift of the week one out of three was today. I'm chuggin' along though lol)

"Hikari was my friend too," Cipher replied to her insult, "Though I can agree with you on Vipoi's insanity. It's been pushing us all during these times." When she mentioned that she had been sent to earth by someone other than Zucceta, that this was done behind her back, a small smile appeared on his face. That made a bit of sense. It didn't seem like Zucceta to do a complete turn around after what she had said to him on Vegeta. At the question of his family, he nodded. "They're fine. I had them brought to the Big Blu after Vipoi went rogue, for their protection." it was at that point he remembered, "Hmm, now that I think about it, I don't recall ever introducing you to my daughter. I get the feeling she would like you."
It was then that Kaula asked him about Vipoi's virus, more importantly, worried that it might affect him or the rest of the BBA. "Thank you for the concern, but don't worry. We determined that the virus was caused by data about the old Red Ribbon Army that Vipoi had been studying. I made sure every last scrap of it has been deleted." Sure, Vipoi might not be happy if he ever came back to his senses, but Cipher wasn't taking any chances. "As for infecting myself or the BBA's systems, it's highly doubtful. I am part human after all, which would make a computer virus difficult, and it seems he's cut himself off from the BBA systems entirely."
It was at that point that Liang came into the area. When the heck did he get here? Why hadn't he been informed? It didn't matter. What was important was that he was here. Though at the moment the human didn't seem thrilled at the idea of getting help from Saiyans. "Relax Liang," he replied, "Kaula's here not on Zucceta's orders, but those of another. Besides, Kaula is a friend, despite the hostilities you two share." He turned to Kaula, giving her a bow, "I gladly accept your help. Though I must ask, who was it that sent you?"

Kaula crossed her arms as she glanced at Cipher as he spoke, however the approaching human caught her attention. She stared at him for some time. While it had been a while since she last saw him.. He seemed annoying enough that she could somewhat tell who it was. Liang. He had gotten stronger, slightly stronger, since they last met. But Kaula felt far superior to him since she was, after all, a thing of legends. A majestic Super Saiyan. Something that should be feared as it was a warrior with little to no equals!
Still, she listened to Cipher as he explained the situation with the virus. Good. It was decent to hear that, well, the virus wouldn't affect the stuff here. Like, say, but ejecting them out of the ship through an airlock or something. She didn't mind much of Liang's words, choosing to ignore them for now when he asked Cipher about why he asked for help.. Something Cipher expertly dodged. Kaula paused a little bit as her lips curled upwards, "Well. You see. First things first, I had managed to come here with only a squad of two Saiyans. Myself, being one of the strongest on Vegeta since.. Well.. You know, I'm a legendary Super Saiyan." she'd explain with a brag, "And my mother wanted to tag along as well, so she's with me." she added on. Wait. Saiyans had moth- that was a stupid question! Of course they had mothers! "Anyway, as for who sent me. It was the commander of planet Vegeta while Zucceta was away..." she continued, pausing. "Some call her the Deputy Vice-Queen. Someone even called her a Princess. But, of course, she has a name." The Saiyan Hybrid was beating around the bush, clearly, "And that name is Kaula. I mostly came because of the stuff on Avalon. Couldn't just sit on my hands and do nothing. Some of the other Saiyans got mad. Said I was abandoning my post or some shit." she shrugged at that, "I beat the shit out of them and left anyway. Said I'd be back soon."
Kaula stuck her hands on her hips as she went to smile like a little dork. "But Cipher, glad to hear the family's okay. But how do you know Vipoi won't attack this place? Isn't he strong enough to totally wreck this entire place with a blink or something?" the Saiyan said as she went to start walking around a little, inspecting the hanger.
"Anyway. I'm here. And so is the illusive Crane Sensei who, if I might just say, has a power level of nearly several million." she continued, bragging for Reikiko while she was here. "Me and her could likely easily help you guys secure Earth from the Virtual Poi threat.. But.. Well.. I need something first from the people in charge of the Blue Banner Authority. You know? Gotta work on the deal before I give the goods. I'm sure you both totally understand."
She turned to face them now, her smile having faded a bit to take on a more serious look. "There are two things I need. For one, I need the Blue Banner to not attack Vegeta on Arcose's request. No assisting them in that manner. You can't trust those shifty-ass changeling lizards, you know? Normally I wouldn't mind but.. Well.. I have family living on that planet." pretty ballsy thing to ask for, that's for certain.
"Number two is when we deal with that virtual poi.. I would like a few copies of his arms to be made. So, do we have a deal boys, or does the Blue Banner Army refuse to do any arms dealings?" she asked with a soft chuckle at her clever pun.

Liang was overcome by a series of conflicting emotions. On one hand, after overhearing that Cipher couldn't fall victim to a similar corruption as Vi-Poi, he felt extremely relieved. Maybe this is what helped him relax around Kaula as per Cipher's request. He did have a point; while the harpy did get under his skin and knew how to push his buttons, maybe it had been so long since last seeing her that made him forget that they were friends once. They still were. He had to admit, he was impressed by her recollection of what it took for her to be able to leave Vegeta to offer her help; she had apparently beaten through several of her own people and left them in bruised and battered heaps and forced her way off of Vegeta along with those she had brought along. She also mentioned she had brought along Reikiko; Liang immediately looked around for her, but didn't see her. In all honesty, he'd missed her, even after Lil' Rei had vanished. He smiled as he recalled the memories of laboring away at Avalon for the little tyke. Sufficiently calmed, his stance relaxed and he slid Satya Yuga through a loop in his belt, securing it before folding his arms and taking the time to listen and consider Kaula's offer. The most difficult part of negotiating this would be that Kaula probably knew they were screwed without the help of her and her allies, so they didn't have much room to turn anything down unless it was completely crazy.
Tapping his thumb into his bicep from his relaxed, arm-crossed posture, he clucked his tongue lightly before speaking up. ''I can't personally speak for Cipher, but I don't have any interest in going to that...''Arcose'', was it? I'm assuming that's a strictly Vegeta and Arcose affair, and right now i'm worried enough about Earth. I don't even think i've met anyone from Arcose, so it doesn't really concern me in the first place. I haven't got a clue what's going on there anyway.'' He nodded, affirming the first condition, at least from his end. He couldn't speak for Cipher, as the cyborg had been traveling quite a bit lately. The second request hit him like a curve ball to the jaw. He wasn't offended, but the dumbfounded look on his face pretty much said it all. ''So let me get this straight. You want...his...arms? As in his literal arms. Why in the world would you want copies of his arms? I know some Saiyans dabble in cybernetics, but wouldn't the thought of using another planet's tech for cybernetics kind of bother them? Maybe it was the fact that there was so much else she could ask for, but that request came pretty far out of left field. Maybe there was some importance to it that she wouldn't be willing to share. ''Any chance I could hear some more about why?''
He blinked with innocent curiosity as he did a double-take to Cipher. Hopefully he was just as confused as Liang was; he didn't want to feel like the only one.

Cipher cocked an eyebrow at the revelation that Kaula was considered a princess of Vegeta. While he had suspected she held some sort of power on the planet, being its second in command was a bit of a surprise to the android. He made a mental note to keep this little bit of information secret from Porsalynne. If she knew Kaula was a princess, that would motivate her more than ever to put Kaula in a dress. He tried not to chuckle at the accompanying mental image.
He waited patiently when Kaula stated her terms for her 'help'. One was to stay out of the conflict between Vegeta and Arcose. Cipher could only nod to this. He was only vaguely aware of an agreement between the two of them, and right now, Earth had its own problems without having to go and help Arcose as well. Though he did remember the Arcosians fighting in the Northern Capitol incident. He quietly hoped that Arcose would be alright.
Much like Liang though, he was curious when Kaula mentioned wanting a pair of Vipoi's arms. "I must agree with Liang on this. Why would you need Vipoi's arms?" As far as he knew, the only Saiyan of note with cybernetics was Zucetta with her arm. Did she think that maybe gaining a copy of Vipoi's arms would make her stronger? An arm was just an arm after all. It would give her any more power than a regular prosthetic.

Post by Kaula on Aug 7, 2015 3:18:56 GMT
Kaula was almost expecting them to question the whole.. Arcose and vegeta war thing that's been going on. She was worried she'd have to go in and convince them about it before this. But.. Liang expressed her not really caring ness of the whole situation there, and Cipher seemed to only nod. She moved to shrug at that.
However, what they wanted to know was about the arms. Understandable, of course. She just shrugged once as she took in a breath. "Well. You see. During Zucceta's time on this planet. She had managed to get in a fight with Vipoi." she then moved her left arm to grip her right arm, tugging on it lightly as Kaula made a ripping sound with her mouth. "And Vipoi took Zucceta's arm. Reason why, if his body is obliterated or whatever, that I fell the need to bring back some.. Well. Trophies, of course. It'll hopefully get a chuckle out of good 'ole queen Zuccy and she won't be mad at me for leaving the planet. You know? No sciency things or anything. Just a decoration for the wall or whatever. Small price to pay for a peaceful Earth, if you ask me."
That sly, sly Saiyan Hybrid girl flashed them a just as sly grin as she glanced at either of them. "Well? Well..? We have a deal or what?" the girl asked as she moved to start stretching lightly, "Because we'll be ready to step in to kick that tin can's ass whenever."
That was when an idea popped in her mind, "Also.. I'd like to get this agreement in writing, too. Signed, of course. And made official. Blah blah blah, all that jazz."

Blinking as he listened to Kaula explain the desire for the strange request, he hadn't been aware of the fact that this ''Zucceta'' had fought against Vi-Poi on Earth and found herself short of an arm by the battle's end. From this point he was already forming his own motives on why they would want such a thing; if she had replaced her arm with a prosthetic, as many Saiyans who dabbled in cybernetics did, then it was obvious to see why they may potentially want copies of Vi'Poi's arms. He was the most powerful android, if not being, in existence, and if Zucceta could replace that stock prosthetic with an arm from Vi-Poi... he was beginning to think he was getting somewhere with this. Kaula claimed it was for the purposes of a gift or trophy to tide over the Saiyan Queen over her sudden departure, but that probably wasn't the only motive behind it. ''Say, Kaula.'' He figured he may as well pipe up now in the case that Cipher didn't share his suspicions. So far he seemed fairly trusting of Kaula, but being they had spent so much time apart as a trio it may not have made much difference to her to tell a little white lie. ''Isn't it a little weird to give someone else a trophy from a battle they weren't a part of? Besides that, if you were going to do that...why the arm specifically? You said Zucceta lost an arm in her fight against Vi-Poi when she was on Earth. If it was just going to be a trophy, wouldn't pretty much anything fit the bill?'' It was clear Liang still had his attachments to Vi-Poi as he was before his corruption. He seemed to be taking a large amount of interest as to the specifics of the request; if it had to be an arm, then why? It seemed awfully convenient to claim the specific part needed from the strongest being currently in the universe when your Queen back home happened to be missing that part herself.
He shot another curious look to Cipher to look for a bit of input or backup.
The other thing of note was his train of thought taking on a new course now that negotiations had begun. When it came right down to it, they were already offering a lot themselves. The battle would be taking place on Earth, meaning even if all was lost, Vegeta was unscathed, or at least for a time enough for them to mount a defensive against Vi-Poi's eventual arrival. They were putting their innocent people at stake here on Earth, which as a result kept Vegeta with the only worry of the battle on Arcose. With Vi-Poi distracted here on Earth, he wouldn't have time to jet his way to Vegeta and make a surprise attack against the Saiyans. He felt they had more to bargain than he first would have given them credit for, so he spoke up again. ''Instead of the trophy, how about a counter-offer? It seems like we both agree to stay out of the business on Arcose. Since the fighting against Vi-Poi is taking place here on Earth, that effectively leaves Vegeta with one problem to deal with for now. Our innocent people and our cities are placed at risk. Vegeta is safe due to two things; Arcose is likely occupied by your attack, and Vi-Poi is occupied here. Even if we lose, you all would still have time to prepare yourselves if he were to come and attack. I'd say we're offering up plenty as it is. If Vi-Poi ends up rebuilt and free of this virus, i'm sure he wouldn't mind going head to head with Zucceta for whatever trophy she might want. If we fail here, a trophy's going to be the least of anyone's issues.'' He folded his arms and nodded, now that he had a chance to think and speak his mind.
While he may have come off as distrustful, it seemed like a very trivial matter compared to everything else at stake. Earth as a collective was offering plenty as it stood, right? If Vi-Poi lost his temper, the entire planet could be destroyed while Vegeta sat ready to meet him for round two.

As an android, the idea of taking Vipoi's arm as a trophy definitely disturbed Cipher. Still, there really wasn't any issue to giving her an arm. All it would be was just a simple, mechanical arm. It wasn't like it was going to give her Vipoi's strength or anything of the sort. Plus, he was pretty sure that Zucceta wouldn't graft Vipoi's arm onto herself, especially since it would be a constant reminder of her defeat back on Earth.
He listened quietly to Liang's counter off, a chance for Zucceta and a rebuilt Vipoi to go head to head. Somehow he doubted that Zucceta would take the offer. After all, when they spoke on Vegeta, she seemed confident that her 'army' of Super Saiyans could defeat Realigner Red. This gave Cipher the very clear indication that the Saiyan queen had no intention of fighting him one on one. Still, Cipher had another idea in mind.
"While I would agree with Liang that a trophy wouldn't really mean anything to her if she didn't collect it herself, I see no reason not to give you an arm. After all, she has her own prosthetic and it wouldn't add to her strength or anything of the sort. Not that I think she would want it anyway. However, there is one thing that concerns me about this. All this talk of Vipoi's arm implies that his destruction is our only course of action. Personally, I hope to purge him of this virus without having to resort to his death. This I do for two reasons. One, because Vipoi is my friend.
The second is because his death would leave Earth vulnerable. During my discussion with Zucceta on Vegeta, I do believe she used the words "Why should I ally myself with Earth when I can just take it?" One would be forgiven in believing Vipoi's very presence presents a very strong deterrent for any attack on Earth by Vegeta. How can I be certain that Zucceta would not try an invasion after Vipoi's destruction? By all means, I consider you a friend Kaula and I doubt your would approve of such a thing, but Zucceta appears to be an entirely different matter."
Cipher then fell silent, having said what he wished. He hoped Kaula could provide some sort of reassurance that Earth and Vegeta wouldn't come to blows.

The small Saiyan glanced at each of them for a few moments as she looked to the both of them. She looked at Liang first. That stupid, cocky human. So annoying. She simply rolled her eyes at that comment about the trophy. While she thought he'd have a point about it.. There was no fucking way she'd admit it right now, that's for sure. The girl brought a hand up, brushing her bangs off of her face for a moment as she closed her eyes, simply listening to Cipher's whole offer.
"... Then I want the trophy." the girl would say with a soft yawn. "Besides that, I have an android friend who could use his pieces to upgrade himself, probably. I understand your concern. He's a friend.. But he's also a danger to the Earth. You of all people should understand how much of a problem he'll be if he's left alive like that." she stated as she shook her head. "Besides that.. No offense to you, but I'm assuming if either myself or my teacher, the crane sensei, sees a chance.. We're taking a shot. He's.. What? Already destroyed some of the north capitol? Killed however many people. How many people have died trying to combat him?" she'd ask as she glared at Cipher.
"You think he gets some free pass because he had some whacky psycho doodle virus in him that may or may not be actually causing all this? Judging how he made a law to force Saiyans to wear something - and has apparently given the Arcosian Empress the authority to cut of the tails and possibly kill Saiyans if they don't follow the law - maybe he actually wants to be crazy and is just using this virus shit to fuck with everyone. Also the bit about the Arcosian Empress, not lying. She threatened to do the very same to me before. On Earth." the Saiyan explained as she crossed her arms. Bold words. Very bold words. Kaula wasn't playing any simple games right now.
She turned to move back towards the ship she came on, "So anyway.. We have a deal. You guys try to break it by fucking with Vegeta in anyway.. Well.. That would suck for you guys." she said as she held a hand up in a sort of somewhat sarcastic 'you may go now' waves to the two of them. She sure was being kind of cold now.
(Sorry guys. been having a busy week at work. @,..@)

(No probs Kaula! I'm not exactly speedy myself; missed out on a lot of sleep lately ) Honestly, Liang had run out of patience. It was clear she was here to make demands and didn't give a care about anyone else. He questioned why she had even showed up in the first place; what with that annoying attitude of hers she loved to toss around so much, he considered her even being here to be a waste of time. He wasn't going to be able to see the logic of Cipher requesting help from Vegeta; he didn't now, and thanks to the way she'd presented herself, he wasn't ever going to. ''You do realize we're not putting Vi-Poi on a pedestal. Many people have been harmed here on Earth while Vegeta sat nice and safe, apparently after denying Cipher's request at first. I know we all are going to have to take any chance we get. Just because he's been taken over by some virus doesn't mean i'm going to hold back. I spent almost a month in the hospital after stalling him from destroying a complex full of the Blue Banner. I have just as much as an axe to grind as anyone else. I don't hate him; this isn't his fault. But regardless, I know that he has to be stopped, and the only way we're going to be able to do that is by using force.'' Folding his arms and narrowing his eyes in annoyance at her talking down to them how she was, he gave Cipher another disapproving look. Also of note was the fact she never said a thing about promising not to just turn on them after the fact. If Zucceta gave the order, she probably wouldn't even hesitate to carry it out. He understood that Cipher was desperate, but Kaula wasn't an Earthling anymore. It seemed her allegiances were only to the Saiyans, and Liang didn't trust them any further than he could throw them. She didn't know shit about Vi-Poi; if she went to steal his arm like some sort of vulture, he was beginning to brood thoughts about turning it to dust right in front of her. Her attitude and temperament had only worsened with her time on Vegeta; it made him sort of sad thinking of the last time the three hung out together. He was already mentally bracing for some sort of betrayal if he survived the encounter with Vi-Poi. It made him sick to his stomach because he wanted Kaula to be like she used to be, so he didn't have to feel anger toward her like this. It was quickly becoming clear she was just a stranger all over again. Shaking his head as he finally saw her motioning to leave, he turned on a heel and waited for her to depart. He'd wait for Cipher to join him after a couple of steps, making sure to hold his words until she was gone; if the two sparked up a new conversation, he'd hold off to clear his head for a bit. He had to express his concerns to Cipher about this; if the Saiyans wanted to have their way, there would be precious few defenders to stop them. Heaving a sigh, he braced his back against a wall and folded his arms, mulling over a train of thought coursing through his mind as he rubbed at his temples, frustrated, and feeling a pulsing headache he found familiar. It had been increasing in frequency lately, and the only thing that seemed to help was a good bout of training. Cipher was definitely more on the level with Kaula than he was, so if she stuck around, he'd listen to the two exchange their words and interject if he felt the need. He tried to place himself in her shoes; she had directly disobeyed an order so she did need something to grease Zucceta's palms, but she didn't have to go about it the way she was.

Cipher had been about to respond when Liang spoke up, voicing Cipher's own concerns, though clearly letting his frustration and anger through. The android allowed his comrade to speak, before giving him a look that told him 'It will be alright. Calm yourself'. It was clear that everyone here was getting tense about the situation, and right now that was the last thing they needed. They were allies for crying out and loud, and more importantly, friends.
He waited for things to quieten down before stepping toward Kaula, speaking in a calm, level voice. "As Liang has stated, Vipoi will certainly answer for the crimes he has committed, one way or another. Though in regards to your opinion on him, I can indeed confirm that it is a foreign virus that is effecting his systems. That's a plus to being an android. It's easier to confirm insanity with us. If this does result in Vipoi's destruction, so be it, though just as you and Reikiko will take the chance to destroy him, I will take any chance to save him. But I will not put this planet in jeopardy to do so.
Though let me ask you this, if Reikiko ever went insane and started committing atrocities like this, would you be so eager to destroy her? Or would you try your hardest to save her?"
He let that statement sink in for a moment. He wasn't expecting to turn her to the 'let's save Vipoi' side, but he just hoped she would understand where Cipher was coming from. It wasn't easy to simply turn around and destroy a friend.
"As for this 'arrangement' with Wyntre, I can assure you she was granted no such privileges. The alliance between the Arcosians and the BBA was one of simple defense, nothing more. Wyntre has no authority to act as judge, jury and executioner here on this planet. If she tries to do so again, provided that she survives Vegeta's invasion, then she will have to answer to me." Cipher meant every word. He was not going allow anything of the sort to occur on this planet, not when he had anything to say about it.
"In regards to the deal, we will uphold our end of the bargain. We will not interfere with the Vegeta Arcose conflict and also give you one of Vipoi's arms." He moved over and rested a hand on her shoulder, giving her a smile. "Now then, while you're here, why don't we have something to eat? We never did get to catch up before I was kicked off of Vegeta. Besides, I'm sure Porsalynne would be very excited to hear we have a princess on site."
