wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/4813/sound-rushing-blood-plans-depart?page=1&scrollTo=31733 Continuing from this post, first post in this thread will be at 60 times gravity in flavor only, Power Ball is applied for but not approved.Aspa had been gathered together with two others on the Queen’s orders. Aspa sensed nearly as much Ki as he had within the one known as Hitora. The other, was Icarus the android. Aspa figured out why he couldn’t sense anything from Icarus, Icarus was an android. Whether his programming was to be loyal to the Empire or not, was of little consequence to the mighty Saiyan warrior at that moment.
The three of them were gathered in order to learn one of the Queen’s techniques, it was suppose to help Saiyans turn into an Oozaru, but at a cost to the user. Aspa stared at the mighty orb of ki in the Queen’s hand.
He didn’t understand how such a tiny thing could help generate enough Blutz waves in order to turn anyone into an Oozaru. But hearing the Queen’s explanation, Aspa nodded and headed out towards the Star Javelin in order to use the Gravity Chamber in order to keep the other Saiyans from seeing the mighty Ball that would force them into their Oozaru form.
Besides, he will learn it before they take off and see about training with Natto at a higher gravity. He had sold his Heavy Weights earlier so they could get a healing tank for the Star Javelin just in case anyone got hurt badly in the invasion.
It left a very sour taste in his mouth. He would follow orders given to him by the Queen, but he didn’t have to like it. Aspa gritted his teeth while he entered the Star Javelin. Looking at one of Tomo’s androids, he would tell them that he’ll be in the chamber and to tell Natto and Tomo to take off towards Earth as soon as they could. That the Queen taught him something very special for the invasion.
He wanted the technique to be a surprise for Tomo and Natto, but he may just show Natto the technique in the gravity chamber. But Aspa supposed that he shouldn’t ruin the surprise just yet. Shrugging, Aspa entered the Gravity Chamber and started the chamber up setting the chamber to x60 times normal gravity. As soon as it hit, like always Aspa’s body felt the pressure and it nearly sent him to the ground.
Smirking at this, Aspa stretched his body and cracked his knuckles.
“It feels good to do this at long last. Too bad, I have to do it for an invasion.”
Sighing, Aspa really didn’t want to invade Earth. It’d be putting his friends and the object of his everlasting love in peril. Sighing, his heart ached for the embrace of his love, but he supposed he couldn’t let it get to him even after the last time they met. Starting to breathe in, Aspa forced himself to move, while forcing Ki into his body. He had to get use to this level of gravity before they left Vegeta to Earth.
He knew he shouldn’t of came into the chamber to train, but he had to do so. He could rest when he was dead. Not knowing the dark foreshadowing thoughts he had, Aspa continued to move while the gravity became easier to manage.
Aspa continued to push himself until the gravity was extremely easy for him to move around in it while having Ki in his muscles. Breathing in, he would slowly let the Ki out of his muscles. He felt the gravity’s pressure return to himself, but he forced himself to move onwards to get his muscles use to the gravity. It happened slowly, but surely the mighty warrior exceeded his own limit yet again and pulled through another level of gravity.
Smirking at himself finishing this level of Gravity, Aspa breathed in while flexing his hands. It felt so easy to move in already, it was time for him to learn the Power Ball technique of Queen Zucceta’s.
Closing his eyes, he would remember what it felt like to be in the presence of the ball. He remembered back to a couple months before, his partner in the extermination of the planet had thrown up a technique similar to the Queen’s technique. He supposed it was because they were friends or the Queen taught the Elite, or the Elite had created a similar version herself, but it didn’t matter.
Aspa raised his hand in front of his body. Concentrating his energy to the hand, he would force himself to put his feelings into the technique. Forming the colorless ball within his hand, he would stare at it.
“Blast, it doesn’t feel like the Queen’s ball. I’ll have to put more Ki into it.”
Letting the ball go, he would try again while closing his eyes. He would imagine himself turning into an Oozaru while concentrating on the ball. Forcing as much Ki as he can into the ball, he would open his eyes to see what he had created. This one felt similar to the Queen’s technique but there wasn’t enough Ki within it.
Gritting his teeth, Aspa would crush the ball in his hand before shouting in frustration. He never had trouble with learning a demonstrated technique in person before, but this was special. He had to try harder in order to learn the technique. Clenching a fist in rage, he would slowly force it back.
It wouldn’t do for him to lose his rage right now especially when he had to learn an important technique. Breathing in he would slowly let the breath go, letting his anger go with it.
He would raise his hand once more, and concentrate he would get this technique this time. He was sure of it. This time was different, he closed his eyes and put his feelings of rage, betrayal, agony, and hopes for the future into it.
He put his thoughts about turning into an Oozaru within the Ki Orb in his hand, he forced as much Ki as he could into it. As much Ki as he used for his Azure Hadron Cannon into the orb. He felt this one was different, this one will help turn the tides of war into the Empire’s favor.
Opening his eyes, he would smile. It looked exactly like the Queen’s Power Ball. It felt exactly like the Queen’s Power Ball as well, but it was made with his Ki instead. It drained him quite a bit, but he didn’t care. He had done it. Grinning he would throw it into the air, high above his head within the chamber.
He would force it to crush and mix with the atmosphere in the chamber. It formed into a giant ball of Ki in the sky. At first it felt familiar, like the improvised technique that he used against Mayze. He supposed he could learn that technique another time. But for now, he was happy. He was surprised he didn’t turn into a Oozaru due to him staring right at the ball.
“I suppose, I would need to use it outside in order to turn.”
Shrugging to himself, he had done it. Firing a small ki blast into the orb he would dissipate the energy. He wondered if the others arrived, if not he would cook a miniature feast for them, when he leaves the chamber. But he supposes, he could try and learn that one technique as well on the way towards Earth.

Post by Riku on Sept 7, 2015 23:23:58 GMT
Riku looked around his ship, his heart pounding from what was happening. Today the saiyans departed for Earth, they were headed for where he was raised. He made sure everything in his ship was nice and tidey, he would leave it with Brocko, for he would be riding with his team, the Natto Force. Riku pulled out his washed battle armor and put it on, fixing himself to be comfortable. With a look in the mirror he ran his hands through his hair and sat down on the floor for a few moments. His thoughts were of home, of his family, of the people on Earth. It had been a month or two since he'd been on Earth, and he vowed he would return to protect Earth, now he was the one invading Earth. The saiyan shook his head, he couldn't be second guessing now, not when war was so close. He stood and left his ship, soaring through the sky towards the Star Javelin.
As he approached the ship his scouter gave off a reading from the inside, it was Aspa. Now Aspa was really his teammate, on the lines of war, a war that would make history. Riku entered the threshold of the ship and sighed, looking at the azure saiyan who just seemed to have been doing a little warm up. Riku paced into the center of the room, seeing some sweat on Aspa's face. He opened the small fridge and tossed a water bottle at him. Riku sat on the floor of the ship and sighed, looking out of the door. This was gonna be a tough war, there were many strong warriors on Earth, and Riku didn't feel like he was ready, but his thoughts couldn't stop him. He turned to Aspa and sighed. "Listen, Aspa, I'm sorry for the incident in our previous training session. I didn't mean to betray my squad or anything of the sort, just wanted to bring out more interest in it, but now, we're partners, teammates, on the lines of war. I promise, with all my heart, that I'll fight to the and for all of us. Through it all, our squad is my priority, Aspa, I swear on my life I'll protect you all."
With those words Riku cracked a smile and closed his eyes, waiting for the rest of the squad to show up. All that was left was for Tomoroko and Natto to arrive, and the force would be ready to head off into war. Deep down he didn't want to invade Earth, but he wouldn't tell his team that, he couldn't let them down, not now. He decided to stay silent until everyone was together, they would work as a team, as a true squad would. They were saiyans, and saiyans needed each other, especially in this kind of war.

Post by Tomoroko on Sept 8, 2015 0:19:57 GMT
Tomoroko was in fact, already within the Star Javelin, tucked away int he sleeping quarters with her mom. Truth be told, she hadn't left the ship since her previous training session in the gravity chamber, and still looked like she had just been through a blender. Her armor still looked like it could fall apart at any moment, her under armor torn to shreds and what was left was covered with blood. Her skin was still beaten and bruised, but Tomo looked a lot better than when her mother had come in to find her after her training.
The two women were in the room, making sense of what her mother brought on board and organizing it by team member. When she was content with what she saw, she picked up the purple scouter that would be her own and fixed it to her face. She played around with the functions for a little bit as she watched her mother do the same. It was strange to have her on board, but she would never leave her behind in a situation like this..
Once the two had their scouters, they both stepped out of the room, Tomoroko actually fidgeting with her hair, grabbing a hair band on her way out and using it to tie her hair back into a spikey pony tail. That's when her scouter went off, alerting her to two power levels within the ship. At first she assumed that it was Natto and Aspa, however, as she approached the area the signatures were coming from, she instead found Riku and Aspa. She stopped just outside the door of the gravity chamber, unsure of how high Aspa currently had it set.
"Oh, Hey Riku. You're coming along with us?"
She asked with a light smile towards the other saiyan, peering inside then at Aspa, tilting her head curiously as she felt a rush of energy pass over her, like the after effects of an energy wave.
"We're not disturbing you are we? I just wanted to let you and Natto know that my mother was going to come along with us too."
She informed them. Just then, the woman and question peered out from behind her daughter, waving to both of the young saiyans with a bright smirk.
" The name is Kyuri. Figured you pipsqueaks needed someone along on the ride who would keep you in line. Plus, I've got something I wanted you to look at Aspa."
Her mother stated. It was easy to see the resemblance between the two girls as far as their looks went.

Post by Natto on Sept 8, 2015 1:12:13 GMT
[Thread Power Level: 267.867] After he complimented the queen, who was on top of the Imperator spaceship, Natto looked around at the other captains of the army and nodded at them, feeling a little apprehensive towards their safety, but doing his best not to show. He needed to calm down! Especially because his squad needed him to be pretty confident and sure of himself if they were to be able to fight at their full capacity. There was no room for doubt and nervousness right now and, with a very deep breathe, he went back inside the Star Javelin, the second greatest Royal-class spaceship on the whole hangar, a memento of how much his squad had managed to accomplish in terms of manpower and equipment, now they had to prove themselves worthy in battle! And that was going to be a hell of a battle. ”Who are we going to face? Virtual Poi? Reikiko? Kaula? All of them…” he gulped as he got inside the ship through the door of the training hub.
As soon as he entered it, he locked the door and shook his head, frowning his eyebrows a bit. ”It doesn’t matter! We have to win! For the sake of the saiyan race! For the sake of the lives of my comrades! I will not be defeated! I will not allow any of them to die!” his resolved was being strengthened with every second. When he walked across the training hub, he could feel four energies, which made him arch one of his eyebrows. ”Hang on a second… I thought it would be only four of us… Who is the fifth member?” he couldn’t help but ask himself, as he pressed the button of his scouter, to start scanning it. Natto’s scouter detected a power level of 73.958, another one just slightly of 74.145 and the last one being the lower he expected to see, being scanned at 24.435. ”That should be Aspa, Tomo and Riku… But the other one… Is low-class material… Who would be crazy enough to come to war with us? Other than that, I didn’t request anyone else, but Riku to join the squad…” he thought to himself as he walked towards the large dining room where the powers were gathered.
When he got inside, he saw the one’s he already knew were there and was surprised to see Tomoroko’s mother, Kyuri, there with them. He got there just in time to hear Kyuri speaking to Aspa about showing him something.
– Y-you are tagging along, Kyuri? This is going to be rather dangerous, you know? – he said in a rather troubled tone. He didn’t want to say that she couldn’t come with them, but he was also concerned that she may die by accident. Kyuri was a genius scientist and could do wonders for the team, but she could also die with a single ki blast from a not very strong enemy, and that was a point to be considered. Anyway, he wouldn’t oppose her tagging along, but that caught him by surprise. Nonetheless, Natto shook his head and stared at the others, after briefly talking to Tomo’s mother.
– Okay guys… Here’s what I have to say. Please welcome Riku as a full-fledged member of the Natto’s Force. I personally asked the queen to make him a member of the squad. He is already on super elite level and can be of great help to us. – he said, pausing briefly. – I was also informed that Aspa had been taught the power ball, which will help us greatly. Unfortunately Riku doesn’t have a tail anymore due to a barbaric mutilation on the hands of the earthlings, but we will have each other’s back! – he said, with a subtle smile on his face. – I will not accept any casualties on this squad, okay?! And I promise to give my life in order to ensure that we will all be able to come back! – Natto stared at all of them. He trusted them and wouldn’t prefer to be with nobody else. He just missed Habana among them, but for some reason the queen wanted her. – As for how things will be done… I want Aspa as the main pilot, as he know how to get to earth and Tomoroko to be the second pilot. I will oversee the trajectory and correct the course if need be. Riku… I want you to use the gravity chamber as much as possible in order to enhance your power until we get there… The Star Javelin is really fast and we should reach it in a matter of only a few days. I will also train when I can, but you won’t be able to keep up with my rhythm probably… Except for Aspa, perhaps… Any questions? If not, get ready to depart! – he finished his speech.

Aspa walked out of the gravity chamber, sweating greatly. When he came out, he noticed other people on the ship. The first person he noticed was Riku. Grabbing a towel from the stack directly outside the chamber, Aspa would start toweling off the sweat slowly. Walking out to the kitchen area, he would get hit directly in the face by the water bottle due to him still drying off his face.
Catching the bottle, he would drain it in a little more than five seconds. Staring straight at Riku, Aspa would examine him. Before Riku can say anything.
“Riku, you better remember my words. If you do not, you answer to Natto not me. What he says go.”
After that, Aspa would usher Riku out of the kitchen to begin on the pre-flight meal. Aspa made sure to make a lot of meat and sweetmeats. When the others arrived, they would smell the sweet smell of sweets and the meat. Aspa was cooking with the force of many men. He frowned when he saw the alcohol that Natto still had on the Star Javelin.
Aspa will have to file an official complaint about it, later. When he heard Tomo’s voice.
“Hey, Tomo can you help me with setting the table?”
Aspa would ask as he sticked his head out of the kitchen’s doorway. As soon as he did, he would see Kyuri. Taking in her appearance, he would gulp slightly. His face would turn completely red from the blush at seeing her. He would get completely nervous while looking at her, she looked a little like Tomo. ‘She must be Tomo’s mother. Why am I feeling like this around her?' He thought while feeling his throat get dry even due to the water he had just drank.
Upon hearing her words, he would nod only slightly and follow her if she were going to lead him somewhere. He didn’t know what she wanted to show him, but he wondered if it’ll be good. Wishing he took a shower, he sighed. He’ll just have to take one later.
Aspa felt Natto approaching the ship, it was getting near time for them to head out of Vegeta and head to Earth for war. Aspa wondered what would happen, but he knew he would die to protect Tomo, his friends, and especially Kyuri.
He felt butterflies in his stomach while around her, he knew he was still head over heels in love with Hana. His passion for her still burned with the force of a thousand suns, but he wondered if he could love two women, if his heart was big enough for two.
Would either love him back, if they knew of the feeling he had for the other. He didn’t know, and that made him feel nervous. More nervous than being around Kyuri.Breathing in before out he would continue following her, should she of actually led him to the thing she wanted to show him.
Hearing Natto’s speech through the speakers of the ship, he nodded. He could focus on piloting the ship, he was a good pilot he wondered if he could simply just go to a different planet then Earth and let the rest of the Empire to rot. He supposed Natto would flay him alive for doing so, even if he wanted his friends to be safe.
Sighing once more, Aspa decided to just do his duty and pilot the ship to Earth. Little did he know, he would die on the little blue planet.

As Riku waited, Tomoroko showed up with another woman just as Aspa was leaving the chamber, now finished with his pre flight training. Aspa directed himself towards Riku, giving him a heads up about what they had spoken about before, and that now Natto was the man in charge. Natto had now told them Riku was a member of his force, which made Riku grin stupidly. He was glad to be part of the team, now playing in the big leagues, and he was partnered with the best. Riku chuckled, thanking Natto. Aspa had ushered him to the pre flight meal, which looked delightful, but Riku wasn't all that hungry and only took a small portion of the food. With the meal now done, Natto announced what each of them would do. Aspa was designated as pilot and Tomoroko was placed as co-pilot. With only Riku without orders, Natto turned to him and gave him something to do, something not all that helpful, but that would benefit him greatly once in war. Riku was ordered to train until landing in the gravity chamber, where he would try to increase his power as much as he could. With that order he nodded and looked at everyone, saluting his new squad and heading into the chamber to train. He needed it, this war wouldn't be so easy, power was something crucial here. Within seconds he was locked in the chamber, starting his training by increasing the gravity and running laps. He would come out ready for battle, and he would prove to be a good squad member. (Sorry for the short post, didn't know what to say exactly  ) |

"Please, of course I am joining you Natto. What this team could use is a little bit of experience you know? I've been on plenty of jobs like this in my day. Of course we were considered cannon fodder, but that'll make the story too long. Someone's got to look out for you kids once your battle is done right?"
Kyuri stated with a smile as she pat her daughter on the shoulder, causing Tomoroko to smile at her mother briefly, exhaustion still visible in the young girls eyes. She then left her mothers side whenever Aspa had asked for her help. She obliged silently as she gathered up the plates they would need and setting them out so that they could all eat... not that she expected any of the food to really make it to any of them. It was going to be a strange meal for her... here she was with her team, her family, and they were getting ready for war... she felt somber, almost sad that things had come to this... but what could she expect? Did she truly things would be any different? She was working so hard to get to Natto's level so that she could fight with him, even protect him, she couldn't expect to stay on Vegeta forever and not have to go into battle like this.
When everything was set, she finally got to sit down and sighed lightly as if that simple motion was enough to exhaust her. Whenever they were able to sit and eat however, she began devouring the offered food greedily. She hadn't realized just how hungry she had been, having eaten nothing but ration bars in the last 24hrs so that she could focus even more on her training. She would give herself one more bout, she would master 60x gravity then she would let her body rest until they arrived on Earth. Then, when Natto began speaking, making his announcements, Tomo glanced over to Riku and smiled brightly.
"Well that's good news isn't it? Welcome to the team Riku we're glad to have you with us!"
Then she was told that she would be Aspa
s co-pilot and she nodded gently. This was definitely something that she could do, even though her mother might be the better option for the job. This would give her a chance to show her mom how much she had learned from her.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, after the meal, and Natto's announcement was done, Kyuri pulled Aspa aside, ushering him into the medical bay where she had a cybernetic leg out on display for the boy. She walked over to it, picking it up from it's spot before turning to Aspa, offering it to the boy and allowing him to inspect her craft.
"When Tomoroko told me one of her team mates lost a leg, I decided to start working on this for you. It's got a few different features and functions that I can go over with you if this is something that interests you. It also means we'll have to replace the hub thats actually attacked to what's left of your leg. I won't lie, that parts going to be pretty painful but this ships got more than enough drugs to dull the pain. Of course, this is only if you were interested, I'm not here to force anything on you kid."
She stated, then went on to explain the different functions the leg would provide Aspa which, to her, were much better than the model he would currently be sporting.

Post by Natto on Sept 11, 2015 17:15:40 GMT
Aspa’s food looked really delicious and Natto was looking forward tasting it, as he was now almost drooling over it. Tomoroko’s mother, Kyuri, a little before that said that she would definitely join the crew, and that she had plenty of experience, even though she had been used as cannon fodder most of the times she went on a mission. Despite their warrior’s nature, not all saiyans were fit for the frontlines on a battle field, and Kyuri was one of those kinds of saiyan. Anyway, she was there to give some technological and medical support, as well as to make sure that the Star Javelin wouldn’t get caught on the crossfire. After she finished speaking, he couldn’t help but to think that Miso would be a great help, since he had just unlocked the legendary power, but Natto couldn’t help but to make sure he stayed behind. He had his reasons, and he could also understand Tomo’s reason for bringing her mother, so he would just accept it and look at the bright side of it.
Following that, he started eating. And he ate like a starving beast that was seeing meat for the very first time on its life. As they already knew, Natto had no manners whatsoever when it came to such etiquette and all, he had been raised by himself at the wild lands of foreign dangerous planets and had to struggle to survive. Other than that, Natto was born a middle-class warrior, so he was never fully educated on appropriate manners and all. He was born to fight and that was what he had been doing for his entire life, and this war was the pinnacle of it. It was the turning point for the Saiyan Solar Empire and for that squad of saiyans too. It would change everything should they win or lose.
When they finished, Kyuri pulled Aspa to another part of the ship, and that made Natto raise one of his eyebrows, but he didn’t think deeply about it. He just turned his attention back towards Riku and Tomoroko. – Well… I know you are already familiar with the training hub with the gravity chamber and all, but I want you to settle down on the crew quarters. Make yourself at home… We have six individual quarters, but they can become shared quarters if need be. Mine is the first one, so feel free to choose… - he said, staring at both of them before looking towards Tomoroko for a while. He wanted her to choose the second one, so that it could, eventually, become a single quarter and all, but it was something too embarrassing to be said out loud, and just by thinking about was enough to make him blush, so he was quick to change the subject. – Anyway! Whenever you guys are ready, let’s depart! – he said in a rushed tone, as he got up from the table.
After that, Natto walked towards the piloting room, where he sit on the commander’s chair, staring at the panels. He felt some shivers running down his spine, and sighed heavily. ”It is time…” he thought to himself, thinking about their war against Earth. Word Count: 534 |

Aspa thought about Kyuri’s offer to him about the new cybernetic leg even if he would have to replace the first hub that was attached to his leg, it would more than likely be worth the pain to have a better leg, instead of the one that he currently has. Looking at the new one, he would twist the one he already had off before looking at the both of them.
Weighing them both in his hands, Aspa would find the newer one was lighter and sturdier than the older one. Pulsing Ki into them both the newer one moved faster than the older one. It was better than the older one in many many ways. He decided he could deal with the pain. Reattaching his old leg, he would go to the comm system.
“Natto, Kyuri is attaching a new hub onto my leg. Tomo will need to pilot the Star Javelin out of orbit and someone will need to set Earth’s coordinates into the Navigation computer.”
Having said those words, which gave Kyuri his answer. Turning back to her, he would breath in deeply before nodding to her.
“Kyuri, please attach the new hub. I will be eternally grateful for this.”
Walking out of the room, into the surgical changing room. Aspa knew with surgery he will need to be completely sterilized in order for infection to not kick in. He knew Kyuri would sterilize the lab and herself.
Taking off his armor, Aspa thought about what would await him on Earth. The next few days will be useful in helping him get use to his new leg, but will also be useful in training and he knew they would need all the help they can get, especially with his new leg.

"Once we get going... I need to get back into the gravity chamber if you guys don't mind. I wan't to be able to master 60x gravity before we reach earth... I need to push myself just a little bit further..."
She told both Natto and Riku as she began cleaning the place up of all the empty dishes, tossing them in the dishwasher as there was no way in hell she was cleaning up all of those plates on her own. She couldn't spare the time to do it... she had so much she needed to do in preparation for this invasion. When she was done however, she walked over towards Natto, even following him as he walked to the piloting room.
She was actually quite surprised that he hadn't questioned her appearance... she usually did quite a good job at keeping herself somewhat clean, even after training but now looked like complete crap, almost as if she had put herself through a blender. She shrugged it off though, better not to have to explain how much she was pushing herself, and how many times her mother had to come to help her because she would almost kill herself by training too hard. Whenever Natto sat down, she stopped just behind him to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Once I get back out of the gravity chamber... think we can talk before we get to Earth? We haven't had much time since... well the incident with Icarus and the Queen..."
She said softly, waiting for an answer before she would walk past him, her tail teasingly brushing the side of his cheek as she did so. She would make her way over to the navigation computer where she would sit down and begin firing up the Star Javelin's engines. Simultaneously, she began programming in the co-ordinates for earth as they came up in her search. The way she focused on her task, and her fingers clattered against the keyboard, it would look to Natto as if she had been doing this for years. It didn't take long for the ship to start a short rumble before taking off into the skies of Vegeta.
-------------------------------
Meanwhile, Kyuri was more than happy that Aspa found her creation more appealing than the last. The only downfall was that there was a limited window of time in which she could install the leg while giving Aspa ample time to recover before the big battle.
"Right! Well let's not waste any time"
She stated once Aspa announced to Natto that he would be absent for this surgery. The woman gathered up everything she needed parts wise before walking towards the surgical chamber. She set everything down on a tray there before sealing the room behind her. Of course, the room wouldn't have been prepped, and she didn't have time to prep the entire room.. and so she sterilized everything around where Aspa would be, as well as all the equipment she needed before setting everything out, ready to go. She then moved to grab herself a gown to go over her armor, as well as gloves and a mask to make sure that she wasn't the source of any bacterial infections as she worked.
"Alright sweetie, I want you to lie down and take that leg off for me again alright? I'll explain everything I'm doing, as I'm doing it so you don't have to try and watch what's going on."
She explained to him, offering him a smile behind the mask as she would help him onto the bed, then take the leg from him once he took it off. She set it aside and turned back to Aspa.
First, she would offer Aspa analgesia to lessen the pain involved in this surgery, then would move down to the hub on his leg. Whether he accepted the pain relief or not wouldn't make a difference in the way that Kyuri proceeded, she would just be more aware of how much pain she was causing him as she worked. Kyuri then injected the vasopressant into three spots in the stub of his leg, just above the old hub to stop it from bleeding too much then quickly got to work in removing it.
She would talk him through every step of the way, asking him if he was doing alright, just generally chatting away with the boy to keep his mind off of what she was doing. It wouldn't take her long to get the original hub off his leg, but installing the new one would take twice as long as it took her to take it off. The piece would dig into his flesh once attached, attaching itself to Aspa's nervous system for better control of the leg itself. This would be the most painful part, and she would attempt to do it as fast as she could. Installing the actual leg to the hub would be just as easy as his last leg...

Aspa had just informed him that Kyuri was attaching a new, most developed leg into his body and that he needed Tomoroko to pilot it out of orbit while he got his leg fixed, and that was a reasonable request; Natto wante Aspa to be at his fullest fighting potential on Earth, and if a new leg could improve his ability, he was all up for it. Then, he turned his attention towards Tomoroko, that informed him that she would use the gravity chamber as soon as they got the Star Javelin on track, if they didn’t mind it. She mentioned that she wanted to master the 60G and that made Natto feel really proud of her. – Of course we don’t mind! This ship is also yours… It belongs to everybody on the squad! – he said, with a large smile on his face. – If Riku is up for that gravity, take him with you… If he isn’t, then he can use it later! – he also mentioned, as they got ready to start the engines and take flight into outer space.
At the pilot room, Tomoroko kissed him on the cheek, and he responded by making a little caress on her head with his hand, and looking at her with loving eyes. Her tail also teased him and he chuckled with that. He loved her tail, it was one of her many charms, and one of his favorites. Natto nodded after she spoke. – Sure… I guess there’s plenty to be said… But, for now, let’s focus on taking off! – he said, as he watched her doing her job wonderfully. She was very skilled with that, which made the young saiyan captain to think that he did good in choosing her and Aspa for the piloting job, as he overlooked everything.
The ship was really fast and in no time it left Vegeta’s atmosphere and was already in course towards the blue planet they were supposed to conquer. Natto felt some shivers running down his spine, since now it was official: they were on their way to war, on a real fury space road. They could either win and survive, or be defeated and die… Natto couldn’t picture the earthlings showing any mercy, as he knew the saiyans would not, which was made crystal clear when Icarus and Mayze attacked the refugees from Arcose, destroying Kanassa as they did that. Zucceta wasn’t really happy with the destruction of the planet, but she didn’t punish them, showing that it didn’t really matter. Lives were cheap now days and that bothered Natto… Still… They were the enemy, they were hunting down saiyans living there, and they had the evil Virtual Poi and Reikiko as their overlords. They had to be taken down, and he would do his best to ensure that. ”The question is… Am I up for the task? Is my squad up for the task? I’m responsible for every single life that is on this ship… Not only that, but for every spacepod that is under my command…” he sighed with that and decided that there was no use to think about that.
– Great job, Tomo! We can put it in the auto-pilot now… Wanna go to the crew quarters and talk? – he said, looking at her. Word Count: 552 Riku my brother! Where are you?! |

Putting on his surgical gown, after sterilizing his body to the side of the surgical ward, Aspa walked towards the table and laid upon it. He didn’t get anestasia the first time due to him already being passed out from the pain of getting his leg violently ripped off and cauterized. He didn’t care if he had the anestasia or not. He could deal with the pain, but he breathed in a preparatory breath, before twisting his old leg off.
“You can do the anestasia if you want to, Kyuri. I don’t mind either or.”
Tossing the old leg aside, he waited. He didn’t mind the pain, it would be a lesson to him to be more careful in the future. Closing his eyes, he would start to meditate in order for Kyuri to work without interruptions. He would still feel the pain, but it would not bother him as much as it would have either way.
Aspa felt her work, it hurt, a lot. But he let her work even if he were under pain relief or not. He simply laid there in wait until the procedure was over.

The departure of the squad was suddenly course changed by Tomoroko's mother having needed Aspa for a moment. Riku stayed silent the entire time, silently looking attentively at his new teammates. He was the weakest one here, yet it seemed they treated him like they were equals for the most part. Aspa had spoke of how Tomo's mother would be replacing his cybernetic leg with a brand new and more advanced one, meaning someone else would have to set the coordinates that would bound them to Earth. Riku honestly wasn't a good pilot, hell, he barely knew the buttons on the ship. Tomoroko would soon take over for Aspa until he was through with the led change, which would take some time to get use to. With everyone occupied now except him, Natto suggested Riku join Tomo in her gravity session. Riku gave a rather conflicted face, wondering if he should or not.
Riku waited for Natto to finish speaking and then approached them. "For now, Natto, Tomo, I would rather have some time to train alone. I wouldn't want to be a bother to you, Tomoroko, and I would really like to try out some techniques alone, if you don't mind." Riku was being honest, he would have accepted but he truly saw fit training alone in these circumstances. He needed to push himself far beyond his limits, and he only felt like even in training he would be holding Tomoroko back. Hell, just being here made him feel like the weak link. He didn't allow the team to notice his thoughts though, he couldn't let them notice such things from Riku. He was a saiyan warrior, and he needed to be strong and stand proud with his new team. Riku would show them he wasn't a weak link, and he was just as important as any of them in this squad. He walked away from them, seeing he would be left alone for a few minutes. He silentely sat on the ground, crossing his legs and folding his arms as he closed his eyes. Natto and Tomoroko would head off to speak alone and Aspa was still with Tomo's mother, leaving Riku to think about the journey ahead. This would be his first invasion, and his toughest challenge yet. No matter, he would stand with his squad until the end.

"Don't worry about it Riku, frankly I think it is a good idea for you to get some training in on your own. I can join in later if you find it's not enough though alright? Just use the intercom to call out alright?"
Tomoroko called back to Riku before she had left to set the ships co-ordinates. She found that lately, she had gotten all of her best training in on her own, where she was really able to let herself go and focus. No doubt it would do Riku some good to get some of his own training in on his own before they landed on Earth. She didn't doubt the male saiyan was afraid in some way of what was coming... hell, his power level was lower than hers and Tomoroko was frightened out of her damned mind. One of the reasons she needed to talk to Natto.
Whenever the two were fianlly alone, she finished up everything she needed to with the navigational computer, soon setting it to auto pilot before stepping away from the console and glancing up at Natto whenever he spoke to her. A faint smile played on the corner of her lip as he spoke, and she nodded as she stepped back towards where he was sitting.
"Yeah if you don't mind... kind of embarrassing to talk about when anyone could walk in you know.."
She said gently, taking in a deep breath before reaching out and taking Natto's hand. She waited for him to stand up before guiding him back to the crew quarters. Of course, she led them to his own quarters, as she fully intended to either take the room next to his, or to simply bunk up with him if he would let her.
Once they were inside, he would close the door behind them and let out a large sigh, almost as if she had been sucking in her breath the entire time. She turned to look at Natto and without a word, sped towards him, wrapping her arms around him tightly and burying her face in his chest, her spiky hair hiding her face as she did so.
"Natto... kami there's so much I need to say... I don't even know where to start..."
-----------------------------------
Kyuri was much happier giving Aspa the analgesia, as much of a fighter as she was, she hated seeing someone suffer for un-necessary reasons. She would work swiftly after-wards with the installation of his new leg. She watched as the tiny metal rods did their work, penetrating Aspa's skin so that they would connect to his nervous system, she watched as the hub seemed to hum to life before falling silent again, earning a smile from the elder woman as she wrapped a bandage around the site where the metal met Aspa's flesh then stepped back, changed her gloves and grabbed the new leg. If she had done her job well, then there would be zero issue installing the leg itself.
She clicked the leg into place, listening to the gears wind and lock it firmly into place before smiling widely and glancing up to Aspa.
"There, you're all done. Though I don't think you should be walking yet, I'll be giving the leg a few tune ups alright? I need you to focus your ki into your leg, you should find it a lot easier to move than the old one. Try moving your toes first for me."
She instructed him as she stepped back to watch his progress. No doubt there would need to be some adjustments made, but that was the point of his mobility tests.

Riku wanted to train by himself and Natto more than anyone could respect that decision, since he was very fond of his solo trainings. It was a good way to look deep inside one’s self and be able to face your own flaws and weaknesses. The young saiyan captain nodded to him, agreeing with his statement and smiled at him. – I don’t mind at all! Just make sure you train a little… Every second counts because there’s no second tries! – he said in a highly spirited tone, even though deep inside his heart that sentence caused him to feel uncertain of that mission. He stared at Riku for a couple more seconds, wondering if it was wise to bring him along them, but truth be told, he NEEDED him. He was an elite and even though he wouldn’t be able to fight the top dogs of the earthling special forces, he would still be able to coordinate the rest of the troops while Natto, Tomoroko and Aspa faced their commanders on a more duel like type of battle.
Tomoroko agreed with Natto about Riku’s choice of training, and even volunteered to join if he needed any help, or after the training. Natto didn’t know if they had that much time, since he was actually thinking about going for an intense training session with Aspa. ”I still have to try something like Etoru did… A shame he fleed back to Earth… He could be part of this crew… This family… I wonder about what he is doing on that planet… Or if he will come fight us.” Natto sighed with that thought, as he truly didn’t want to engage Etoru; the kid was too strong and could be a real threat to everyone on the Star Javelin, except for him, and he would have to take him down if it came to that, although it would hurt him deeply to do that. “But I don’t see a reason for him to come and fight against us… Maybe we can convince him to join us… Crapbaskets… There’s plenty of maybe on my thoughts… I wish I had more certainty.” he was feeling rather disappointed with himself due to not being able to gather the certainty he thought it was needed for a captain on his position; he was about to lead a major battle front on their attempt to conquer Earth, and he needed to be one hundred percent there and determined to get the work done.
After that he nodded to Riku and left the room with Tomoroko, heading for the crew quarters. The young saiyan girl led the way and they went to his chambers. As soon as they got inside, Natto pressed the button, locking the door in order for them to have some privacy. She had mentioned earlier that she would be embarrassed to speak what she wanted to speak in front of others, so it was just appropriate to do that. After that, Tomo sped towards him, wrapping her arms around him and tightly burying her face on his chest. Natto responded by gently touching the back of her head and caressing her hair, while his other hand also wrapped around her. He sighed when she spoke.
– Hey, hey! Calm down… What is going on? Is it because of the war? Are you nervous? – he asked in a kind and caring tone. Word Count: 568 |
