A specific hybrid had no idea why he was training in forests anymore. The hybrid trudged through the most dense sections of the forest, surveying the surrounding terra firma for a suitable location to train. Upcoming events in the hybrid's life have left him wary of the outcomes and plausible details, specifically how future battles may play out. Meanwhile, the hybrid's partner, the one and only seaweed woman Phae Waterfield was elegantly floating between the surrounding natural elements of the world whilst her husband sidled between one tree after another. Phae could never understand why her husband wouldn't simply fly over the forest, however she wasn't one to question the hybrid. " Celmaru, are you sure we'll be able to find a clearing of sorts before nightfall?" " I'm sure we will....we have before." The hybrid warrior Celmaru Waterfield sidled between two more oak trees as he stumbled through his thoughts once more; with the private family tournament coming soon, the threat of the SSE, Walker resurrection, etc, the hybrid had many thoughts to cycle through as of late. Celmaru took note of the chirps and echoes of the nearby animals, each with their own distinct noise within the forest. The Bamboo Forest was truly a serene location for many, however the hybrid harbored guilty memories within this particular forest. The hybrid had nearly broken the Saiyan Arias here, within the grounds of her own home. Celmaru shifted his gaze downward before surveying the earth around him once more. Among the thoughts of an SSE invasion and sentient trees resurrecting from the dead, the hybrid harbored thoughts of his adoptive son Core Stold. Apparently he had a major issue concerning his sleep, which forced him to stay awake at night for months. Supposedly a mother's embrace was simply all he needed, along with a plausible phobia of sorts. Celmaru attempted to dismiss such thoughts, however a rather immense Ki signature appeared seemingly out of nowhere, alarming the hybrid. " Approximately two-hundred and forty-five thousand.....possibly young." " Hmm~?" " Seems possibly aggressive, potentially pugnacious. Phae, please either stay behind me or be wary of where you fly." " Will do, husband~" The seaweed woman redirected her flight, clasping her tiny hands upon her husband's shoulders as she rested upon his back. Celmaru exhaled slowly, both intrigued and alarmed by the powerful Ki signature. The hybrid stepped forwards cautiously as he stepped into a clearing, revealing the Ki signature to be......a child. A child, with the Ki greater than an adult's. Celmaru had now officially seen everything, considering the sight that he beheld. Folding his arms tightly across his chest, the hybrid spoke up to the child. " Hello?....Might you be lost, young sir?" Phae, meanwhile, peeked over her husband's shoulder, making note of the child that was before them both. The seaweed woman resisted the urge to embrace the young child immediately, knowing that the notion would be rude. Phae warmly waved towards Etoru, silently greeting him alongside her husband. The hybrid, meanwhile, began to wonder why this child was so impossibly powerful compared to most; however the most significant thought that crossed Celmaru's mind was if Etoru was a Saiyan, Human, or a possible combination of both. Only time will tell at this point.

[Thread PL: 244,714/Using My Dojo here]
Etoru was walking in the clearings of the Eastern Region. It was near the bamboo forest, which wasn't that far away from Reikiko's hom--Hikari's home now I guess since Reikiko was...well...okay anyways, the child has literally been standing in one spot for hours. He stared at the sky looking uneasy. "That power that took out Reikiko...j-just...what was it..." The kid has been uneasy for a while after feeling that power. Fear was something that got to Etoru pretty easily, however, ever since he became a slump of depression, fear never really got to him as often as it did before. But that power...it was just...how could anyone reach that kind of height?! "J-Just what are we up against..." Etoru mumbled to himself.
Things haven't really been going well for Etoru. He's been alone for a bit and rarely went to talk to any friends, not that he had much left anyways. And being alone got him to think a lot. He just wished things were back to the way they were...before all this happened. It was all Queen Zucceta's fault, and he was going to make sure he got his revenge. No matter what the cost. On top of that, he would restore peace to this galaxy! But...did he really possess that kind of power? Was he even a valuable asset? His own master had just recently fallen with ease to this undetectable force, so what could he do...? The wind whistled by. The cool air brushed gently against his skin. The breeze caused his hair to sway a bit, as well as rustle his clothes slightly. The grass danced in the wind as the sun beamed down and shimmered across the young Hybrid's face.
"I've lost too much friends...and I wasn't able to do a dang thing to help any of them..." Etoru clenched his fists tightly. He felt a pit of despair in his gut, and he couldn't shake it off. In fact, it's been there for about a month now, ever since Bing died. He's always been experiencing a life of grief, having lost a lot more than that but...the recent events recently got to him, as well as his past haunting him. And not to mention the fact that along feeling depression and despair, he was extremely on edge from that new power. Speaking of on edge, he didn't even notice that power level appear, not until he called out to him. Etoru gasped lightly before turning around, his aura flaring. It was then when he saw two people who didn't even seem to pose a threat. Or well, in appearances of course.
Etoru stared at Celmaru with an emotionless expression. His eyes were full of lifelessness. "...No." Etoru said calmly, unlike his normally hyperactive, talkative, immature, knuckle head, fun self. His fuzzy brown appendage was drooped down low, instead of his usual fun self where his appendage would just be swaying around happily. He noticed the seaweed woman wave at Etoru. A kind gesture! Etoru however, didn't show any signs of emotion. Etoru was just thinking about coldly telling them to get lost, but right now, Etoru hasn't seen a strong warrior since the moon. He was curious. Maybe with him, it could put a small advantage on Earth winning? "....Who are you two?" The pint sized warrior asked in a monotone type voice.

The distinct lack of emotion within the child's voice concerned the hybrid, especially so for his wife. Celmaru's brow furrowed as he approached the overpowered child, crouching before him with a concerned expression. Another breeze brushed through their hair as Phae floated off of her husband's backside, kneeling beside Etoru with a warm, yet disturbed expression upon her facial features; a child in such a depressed state was heart-shattering for her. The pint-sized warrior spoke up, wondering who the hybrid and seaweed woman were. The hybrid's brows receded for a moment as he replied in kind, emotion emanating from his voice compared to Etoru, despite his rather neutral tone. " My name is Celmaru Waterfield, and my wife here is Phae Waterfield. You Ki signature seems akin to what mine usually is....is it possible that you're a Saiyan hybrid as well?" " What might your name be, young one?" Celmaru furrowed his brows once again, staring at Etoru intently, focusing upon what hid behind his eyes. The child's body language spoke of his disdain for others at the moment, along with his intention to not be around anyone for a while. The hybrid also observed Etoru's emotionless gaze, and some similarities appeared within it. Before Phae could speak, Celmaru spoke aloud, noting several issues he noticed, yet staying somewhat daft about it. " ....You seem disheartened, what's wrong? Have you lost someone, or something?....Possibly even multiple of such?" " May we be of assistance?" The couple kept a safe, yet close distance from Etoru, however the hybrid had an idea of what the young warrior had gone through via observation. Phae, meanwhile, silently gestured for an embrace, if the child was willing. The seaweed woman despised the sight of a child's loss or unfortunate happenstance. The child's troubled expression was enough to make Phae embrace him immediately; much less attempt to simply comfort him. Phae awaited a possible return of the gesture from the child, however if he refused she would embrace him anyway; simply to make him feel better. However, her husband would simply rest his hands upon his bent knees, poking at the young warrior's lack of emotion within the lightest and most helpful way possible, supposedly to help him get to the point where he would vent his issues out. " ....Would it be possible that you're Etoru, by chance? My mentor, simply named Walker, made note of him before....saying that Etoru was the young student of Kami...if you are, I never expected such a young boy to be so powerful. However, I had the impression that children were more....happy, than you seem to be. Perhaps you're mourning the loss of Bing Gan, or even Reikiko....or even Walker himself?" The hybrid analysis may have gone a bit too far, potentially poking at rather sensitive issues, however the thick sense of sorrow hanging over the child was rather unfortunate, and he surely needed some time to make note of his own sorrow, and let himself to show weakness, if not for a mere moment. If Etoru didn't, he would likely face several issues once he matured from the mental stress alone. Phae, however, had other ideas. The seaweed woman began to almost scold Celmaru, her expression shifting rapidly from content and warm, to something akin to displeasure. ' Celmaru, please don't be so blunt with him, he seems depressed!' ' That's the reason I'm acting as such. He needs to vent, if not he'll be the same as I was as an adolescent; silent, moody, and sorrowful. You know how I was back then...' Phae fell silent upon hearing the extent of the telepathic message, and suddenly shifted her gaze back towards Etoru, giving her a kind smile as she awaited an embrace once more, if that were ever to come. Both were simply willing to help; it was up to Etoru if he wants to accept it or not.

Etoru stared at them, eyes full of dread, hatred, depression, anger...but...the way they looked just seemed to be lifeless. As if he lost the will to live. However...that wasn't the case. He had one purpose. To destroy the queen of Saiyans himself. However, he couldn't help but notice the way they looked at him. The stares he was receiving looked so full of pity and concern. First, the stronger warrior who Etoru assumed was human, knelt down in front of him. The strange seaweed lady on her back floated off and landed beside Etoru, kneeling as well. Etoru stared into their faces. Most definitely they felt concerned. Etoru didn't like when people looked, or treated him this way. Why couldn't he just be left in peace. However....he didn't know what but...something was stopping him from telling them to just mind their own business, or to get lost.
Etoru listened as he told him their names. "Celmaru...and Phae Waterfield..." Etoru wondered why he never met such powerful warriors before yet. It was weird. Where was this guy during the invasion? Etoru doubted he'd be hiding. Was he even on Earth during the time? This guy had to be new. What he said next made Etoru furrow his eyebrows. Etoru was quite surprised to learn the fact that this guy was a Saiyan hybrid. Being able to feel the ki pattern on Etoru and guessing he was a hybrid made Etoru a bit impressed. ...Yeah....but I don't like being called 'Saiyan'...." The child replied in a low tone of voice. When Phae asked for his name, Etoru just looked at her. "...You don't need to know." The child replied coldly. Usually, Etoru would be more eager to tell her his name and meet these two people. Now? It was like he was a completely different person. A shell of his former self.
Etoru averted his eyes to the ground facing his left side when they questioned if he was sad. Frowning, he replied back to the two. "Is it really any of your business, and no...I'm fine. I don't need any help." Etoru kept his gaze to the grass. The wind whistled by and the trees around them danced in the wind. The grass waved as the pleasant breeze brushed by. Etoru noticed Phae's gesture to hint at him for a hug. However...Etoru just stared at her with an expressionless face. Before he knew it, she hugged him anyways. Etoru was being embraced in her hug. He tried to wriggle out but her arms held him in place, and Etoru didn't want to use any ki since she didn't even seem like a threat. Besides, Etoru couldn't lie that he felt a bit comforted. He let his gaze look at the floor a bit sadly.
Then Celmaru questioned if he was indeed Etoru. Frowning, he gently pushed off of Phae. Taking steps back he frowned at him. "Yeah...why..." Then he said his 'mentor' Walker told him about Etoru. Student of Kami. Etoru looked at him surprised. "You knew Mr.Walker..." Etoru asked in an emotionless tone. Then he was talking about how he was surprised Etoru was even this strong, but rather confused that he wasn't happy. Then he said it. He mentioned Bing...Reikiko...and even Walker. Etoru glared at him angrily. He clenched his fists. "Just shut up! Who the heck even are you! You two just randomly walk on by, see me, and decide to just poke fun at people who died!" The child's white aura flared like a tornado around his form before snapping away. That was one sign that he was pretty angry. "They all died trying to stop the same stupid cause! B-B-But...." Etoru let his arms droop, slumping them and hanging his head. "They failed..." Looking back up at him, giving Celmaru a cold gaze, he pointed his thumb on his chest. "But I'm not going to fail. I'll stop what they couldn't! No one thinks I can do it, but that's not stopping me. Just you watch!" Etoru's breathing was heavy from distress and a lot of emotion hitting him hard. Tears even formed, but he wiped them away fast. He wasn't going to cry, he was stronger than that now. And he is not joking about his claims...

" You certainly need to vent, if nothing else." The hybrid replied, facing the child with a serious expression. The hybrid was intent upon helping Etoru, whether he desired it or not. Along with Ayumu, Phae had begun to affect him as well; simply being unable to tolerate a child's sorrow. Celmaru shifted his position, promptly placing his behind upon the grass, sitting upright and folding his arms and legs. Fortunately, the hybrid was correct upon guessing his name, unfortunately, the young hybrid had pushed away from the elder hybrid's wife, staring at the earthen soil and maintaining his emotionless tone. Celmaru shook his head upon Etoru's uttered speech, making note of a poor lack of emotion....then suddenly a glare or rage pierced his own eyes. A nerve had been touched, and the younger hybrid began to yell. " Who I am?...A Hybrid warrior, akin to yourself." However, upon mentioning that he was supposedly "poking fun at people who died", the hybrid's eye twitched slightly, his ire beginning to become piqued. " I cannot help those who face their own doom head-on, I apologize for stating as much...however I was nowhere near this strength by the time I became in any way involved with all this. Just a few months ago I was at a mere four thousand in simple power measures, with no special abilities to speak of. You may have my condolences over those who perished, however you shouldn't think that I'm poking fun at them...I mourn over the dead like anyone else. Regardless of that....Walker is alive. He resurrected by himself just a day or so ago. For the others, I must apologize....as I know nothing of them besides their names, my mentor was the one who told me of them...along with his son, Bastion." The opposing hybrid's aura ignited, lashing out at the atmosphere around him, creating coursing winds that whipped and both the hybrid and the seaweed woman. Phae gasped slightly, upon the force of the aura's surging power, however it disappeared as soon as it came. Celmaru had shut his eyes tightly upon the occurrence of Etoru's Ki, and simply allowed their respective lids to shoot open as the winds died and the young hybrid began to calm himself. ' Good, he began to vent somewhat....thankfully he wasn't violent about it....mostly.' ' Celmaru, please don't get yourself killed attempting to assist this child...he is more powerful than you...' ' I realize that....and as much of a pride-shattering fact that could be, it doesn't matter that much to me; it only tells me that I need train even more!' ' My my, Celmaru is being rather Saiyan-like today.' ' ....Possibly so.' The hybrid shifted his attention back to Etoru, whom of which was seemingly bragging about how he wouldn't fail against his dream. Celmaru was genuinely curious, quirking a brow towards the child as he spoke once more. " Your dream?....What do you dream of Etoru? Traversing the stars, becoming ultimately stronger than everyone in the universe?....Defeating someone that you despise?" Phae, meanwhile, noticed the child's tears accumulating upon his eyes. The seaweed woman outstretched her hand towards the child's face, wiping away the particles of the substance he missed. " Please don't cry....its such a terrible sight to see a child cry." The seaweed woman's voice cracked, as if she were to begin sobbing herself. Phae retracted her hand, her maternal instincts screaming within her to attempt to comfort Etoru once more, to simply embrace him and let him forget his issues, if not for a moment. Her feminine hands stood before her for a moment, clasped together near her bosom. " Etoru....I realize you may be troubled, but please allow us to assist you, even if we're complete strangers to you...we only have well intentions for you..." " .....My wife isn't lying, either. She has never lied since she's obtained a physical body, she couldn't even speak to those in this physical realm beforehand. Being a Guardian Spirit for my family for generations makes you somewhat obligated to speak the truth, if you weren't...who knows what might happen." " I do truthfully apologize if we seem intrusive and rude, however the sight of a sorrowful child is heart-wrenching to me, even so when my husband sensed you just a few mere moments ago." Phae hung her head in apology, almost bowing within a knelt position by the way she moved. Her intentions were truly only for the betterment of others, especially for children. Etoru has faced more than a normal child should ever have to face, however neither of them knew that; they simply guessed that he had seen death....just simple, dreadful death. The hybrid grinned slightly, remembering Etoru's claim of everyone stating that they never thought that he could do it; achieve his dream. " It seems that we have more in common than we thought, Etoru...people never believed that I could achieve anything myself, that I was simply a worthless halfblood fool, chasing stars that were light years away....hell, I could probably find them in a literal sense now. I could go off into outer space and find those stars....however, that isn't the point. I've received mental and emotional Hell for most of my life....up until this year in particular....when I met Phae, my wife....however sometimes I wonder what would happen if I never met her....if she remained as a spirit forever.....I believe that I would be akin to what you seem to be now, Etoru; a shell of your former self. I'm sure you never truly acted this way before....I mean hey, if Walker can resurrect himself from the realm of the dead, then I'm sure you'll see those you've known once more. Besides that....please, allow my wife to comfort you....you definitely appear to need it...something akin to a Mother's Embrace." The hybrid lurched forward slightly, his arms remaining folded across his chest. Celmaru wasn't sure if he worded that well, however it would have to do for now. Upon the conclusion of his speech, the hybrid spoke up once again. " Trust me, I hate being considered a Saiyan as much as you would....as most stubborn-minded Humans expect us all to be the same. Surely, at least both of us can be examples of a different kind of our own half-species...that's what I'd like to think. Ayumu told me, once before, that I wasn't simply a Saiyan, nor a Human....I was simply, at the time, a mere child hoping to prove himself. On another note, Etoru.....I was just like you, roughly ten years ago; emotionless, depressed, simply unable to truly express emotion without forcing myself to do so...my circumstances were vastly different compared to yours, however I can relate. I do hope that you can understand, if not....at least accept that I'm not completely different from you. Now, once again....please accept Phae's embrace....I'm know you'll enjoy it." The seaweed woman smiled warmly towards Etoru, resting her hands upon her knees before gesturing for an embrace once more. Hopefully this one wouldn't last a few mere moments before being broken away. " ...I implore to you, little Etoru, allow yourself to look away from your troubles for at least a moment...it will do you well."
Etoru ...er...hopefully this doesn't backfire.  |

Etoru's breathing was pretty heavy. Almost sounded as if he was on the bridge of tears. He frowned at Celmaru when he stated his reason. The reason which was Etoru needed to vent. Really? That's why he was speaking so casually at people who died heroes! Because Etoru needed to vent?! When Etoru asked who he was, he replied that he was a hybrid just like Etoru himself. It certainly wasn't the answer Etoru was looking for. But of course, what more could he expect? Etoru wasn't clear, but he really wasn't so interested in who this guy was. As far as Etoru was concerned, he didn't want to be anywhere near the two. They couldn't even give him his own space and only made him feel worse. Talk about helping huh? Etoru frowned at Celmaru as he explained himself. He was talking about how he was unable to help those who perished in battle. Months ago he was only at four thousand, still stronger than what Etoru once was. That, and the lack of his fighting skill. Then he started to tell Etoru that he shoulding think Celmaru was poking fun at the dead. Maybe Etoru was just over reacting? Celmaru may be right. But what he said next made Etoru's eyes widen. He couldn't believe it. "....M....M...Mr.Walker is...a-alive?" His eyes were wide in disbelief. A small smile grew on his face. He remembered that moment when he first met Reikiko, or well, interacted with Reikiko. Walker wanted to get absorbed by her in efforts to stop the Solar Saiyan Empire, but wanted to go down fighting. Etoru tried to stop his tree friend, but unfortunately was the cause of his death, distracting the tree. The child felt a warm fuzzy feeling in his gut. It was nice...pleasant....Walker was alive! But when he started to lash out and start yelling about how he was going to achieve his goal, Celmaru seemed to question that goal. Etoru debated if he should even tell him. Phae however, noticed a few tears that leaked through. She asked in a shaky tone for him not to cry. She wiped Etoru's tears off, which caused the child's cheeks to fluster. "I-I wasn't even crying a-alright!" Pouting, this seemed to be the whole time he showed any other emotion besides anger. Really the whole time they were here he's just been emotionless, not expressing anything. So showing a sign of embarrassment was a good thing! Phae then clasped her hands together near her chest. She had a bit of a motherly look on her face. Why couldn't Caesi be this nice. Well...she could be this nice...it's just that she wouldn't even tolerate Etoru thinking about any of this. While of course she'd do her best to comfort him, she'd also be strict and demanding about him not talking to anyone or even his goals. She wouldn't tolerate any of it. I mean who can blame her? She hasn't seen him in 6 years because Breech kidnapped her! Phae began to ask Etoru to please allow them to assist him in his goals. Or assist him in making him feel better? Either way, completing his goal was the only way he'd ever feel better. Celmaru began defending her request as well claiming she doesn't ever lie. Etoru blinked confused. "You're a spirit...?" The child asked quietly. That was interesting. Etoru didn't know spirits could have physical forms. But...Etoru was known to be a uh...well...scaredy cat. A chicken. Etoru would probably freak out thinking she was a ghost if he was in a better mood. However he just simply wasn't in the mood to feel fear. Then Celmaru tried relating too him. Etoru listened to Celmaru and couldn't help but roll his eyes. People didn't believe in him and he'd been in mental and emotional hell. That was, until Phae came along. Etoru frowned. "Yeah? Well is your goal defeating the Queen of Saiyans, Zucceta? The woman who defeat Kami, and the Crane Sensei. She reached the next stage of a Super Saiyan too. Now do you see why no one is going to believe in me?" Etoru huffed. "But that's not stopping me from going to defeat her. Master Bing may have failed and so has Ms.Reikiko, but believe me. I'm not." Frowning, he continued on. "Although...not only is she really strong...but I felt some...really...really...really strong power that she has with her. I don't know who, or what, it is but...that power is almost 6 times more powerful than me..." Etoru clenched his fists. "And what's worse...the person it's fighting against is a Super Saiyan 2...and this thing stopped a full blown Kikoho, a legendary forbidden Crane technique that draws in the users life force." Etoru felt uneasy. This power was just...terrifying. Hell, Etoru didn't even think Vi-Poi himself could deal with that thing! Then Celmaru assumed that Etoru was never like that. Etoru blinked blankly, his mouth gaped open slightly. "Nice guess..." Etoru thought. Then it appeared he was trying to cheer Etoru up by mentioning how Walker escaped the after life. Etoru frowned and shook his head. "No." Looking at him, then at Phae, then back at Celmaru again, Etoru continued on. "If it was that simple, everyone would just come back. I know a lot of strong warriors that died and are still in the after life. If anything, it has to be more challenging than ever, and if you die again? I would think they would put more like security or whatever on you I guess. So you don't escape again ya know..." At that moment, he started talking about how he hated being Saiyan as well. He just deals with it. He started talking about how stubborn minded humans just thought of us the same as they thought of Saiyans. Then he started talking about how 10 years ago, he was just a child like Etoru. Emotionless and depressed. The pint sized hybrid frowned. Celmaru then continued on. He asked Etoru to accept Phae's warm embrace. Etoru frowned. He didn't really know...he just wasn't exactly up for it. Phae gestured him to come forth. It seemed like efforts to encourage him on. Etoru rubbed his arm awkwardly. His face flushed. "...Erm..." It was mainly Etoru's true side showing. He was an awesome warrior...pfft he didn't need hugs! But still, something urged him forward. Etoru pouted and just walked up to Phae, who was still an inch or two taller than the child even on her knees. Etoru floated onto her lap and sitting down pouting as he too hugged her. His cheeks burned as he really hoped none of his friends, or even worse, his mom, saw this. It would be the worst thing ever! --- Note: I'd appreciate if you don't mention Robo-Bing, assuming Walker mentioned that before. Was planning on Etoru figuring that out on his own.  |

" Walker is indeed alive, just try and sense his Ki, its around this planet somewhere!" The hybrid's grin faded, his tone becoming somewhat neutral once more. Celmaru himself could admit that he was truly joyous over his mentor's resurrection, however other matters needed to be attended to. Etoru, meanwhile, had formed a tiny smile, which lifted the hybrid's spirits slightly; knowing that he has done well so far. The seaweed woman, however smiled gleefully towards the child, hopeful of his well-being. Etoru seemed to be rather.....surprised, if not happier than before. The conundrum of the younger hybrid's stress seemingly began to fade, however his stubborn desire to cover up his weakness revealed itself. Phae immediately took note of this, consoling Etoru gently via her own voice. " Its never a terrible thing to simply cry, Etoru.....even the mightiest of heroes need a time to show weakness every once and a while; no one is invincible, nor immune to their emotions....some may be desensitized, however they will still linger. Please, its alright to relieve yourself of your inner turmoil." The child had an inquiry over Phae's true form, however the seaweed woman simply tilted her head, smiling. " Its a rather long and confusing story, Etoru....its not one to tell as of now. I would appreciate it if we leave that for another time." ' Its not that long of a story.' ' It might be for a child, given that many have less developed attention spans.' ' Fair enough, then.' Celmaru sat upright once more, unfolding his arms and placing his hands firmly upon his bent knees. Unfortunately, Etoru began to speak of the Queen of All Saiyans; Lady Death herself, supposedly named Zucceta. The hybrid quirked a brow towards the child once more, wondering of how he knew of the Queen's own name. Regardless, Celmaru continued to listen, his interested piqued upon the concept of a level beyond Super Saiyan, the failures of the Kami of Earth and a certain "Ms. Reikiko", etc. By the time Etoru finished his mouthful of an expository/explanatory micro-rant/opposing argument, the hybrid had to speak up. " Super Saiyan what?...'Super Saiyan 2'....a rather simplistic name, don't you think?....And the 'Kikoho'....a technique that draws from the user's life...quite a strange collection of knowledge you have there Etoru, I'm impressed. This is rather valuable information...I thank you for that, young Etoru!" Celmaru smiled weakly towards the child, silently giving his thanks. Phae, on the other hand, was becoming rather anxious for an embrace; she loved such things....they were rather warm and touching to her. Etoru, meanwhile, began to speak in a somewhat matter-of-fact tone, at least in the hybrid's mind, as the younger hybrid spoke of how not everyone escapes the Afterlife. This was true, however Celmaru knew that Walker wasn't quite done with the mortal realm. " Not everyone wants to escape, surely. Walker wasn't quite done with his own mortal life after he originally....er....died. Regardless, not everyone can tear holes in reality like Walker can! Either way, I'm sure that he'll be more...er...careful, this time around. He's much stronger now, despite that, so Walker surely won't perish as easily as before!" The hybrid nearly laughed upon the thought, however the current situation wasn't much to include laughter at the moment. By the time Phae had received her embrace, she noticed Etoru's brief, shy, yet stubborn reactions to her seemingly motherly suggestion. The seaweed woman stifled a slight giggle, wrapping her arms around Etoru as she poked fun at him for a mere moment. " You're so cute when you're flustered! You remind me of my husband~" " ....You don't have to tell him that...Phae." The elder hybrid began to blush himself, shifting his gaze away for a minute or so before facing his wife once more. Phae simply smiled warmly, accepting both hybrids as she continued her warm embrace, with a fuzzy sensation emanating from her chest. " ....I do hope you can accept this....however I find your embarrassment so cute~!" " Phae, don't pick on him, even if your method is a bit....debatable." " Etoru is so adorable, though!" " He's not a stuffed animal! He's a warrior that's stronger than me, akin to Walker!" " He still could use a nice embrace, however~" " ....You're impossible to argue with." " You just know I'm right~! Now then, Etoru....I hope you feel less stressed after all this, you did speak a lot, after all!" Phae had subconsciously began to limit her vocabulary via Etoru's appearance; she was wary of his age, after all. Unable to know an exact number, the couple knew that the hybrid child was definitely below the age of ten. However, her tone began to soften even more, closing her eyes and holding Etoru closer to her. " Even with the power of annihilate planets, and the will to conquer the universe....not even a Super Saiyan could resist a Mother's Embrace..." " ...How many people have you embraced now?" " Lost count~" " ...Hmph." " Well, Etoru, please allow yourself to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and simply rest....I'll be here." Celmaru could argue with some that Phae was truly an angel, however she still had her flaws. As of now, many wouldn't see them, yet the hybrid knew full well what happens when no one else is around, when its simply him and his wife. Simply because of that, Phae was officially an expecting mother, awaiting her offspring, given by her beloved. Despite this, the seaweed woman still accepted all children that came her way, especially those that might be alone; such as Core Stold for example. Celmaru merely exhaled, nearly huffing, and closed his eyes, experiencing the cool breeze upon his skin as it brushed through his own upstanding hair....Phae had worked her magic once more. ' Do you understand why so many love Phae now, platonic or not? From those she barely tolerates to those she truly loves with her entire being....she accepts them all...regardless of their flaws. Make use of the time she has given you, as she may very well be preoccupied with others after we leave. I hope you enjoy the warming embrace of Phae Waterfield, Etoru.'
Etoru ..... X3 |

Etoru frowned when Celmaru stated that not everyone wanted to escape the after life. It was a dumb hypothesis in Etoru's eyes. Sure, not 'everyone' wanted to escape, but he knew a few warriors who had to much to leave behind and they still aren't even back yet. Like, for example, Natto. He had a lot that he couldn't just leave behind. Including Tomoroko. He wasn't back yet. Escaping the after life shouldn't be easy. Or what about Aspa? He doesn't even know whether his squad made it or not. Pieter was gone ever since the invasion. Why would he chose to stay in the after life? Sure Etoru barely knew the man, but he was Bing's battle brother! He couldn't just 'leave'...!
Regardless of that, it seems Phae started to...giggle? Etoru blinked confused as he craned his neck up too see her face from his sitting position on her lap. She wrapped her arms around Etoru and continued to giggle. Then she said it. Etoru's cheeks burned. "I'm not even cute..." He mumbled stubbornly. It seems even Celmaru himself didn't like that either. Pfft, how could she compare Etoru to him! Etoru was waaaay cooler. Still, Etoru averted his eyes down, trying to avoid the shyness/embarrassment he was experiencing. Etoru frowned as she spoke again. His cheeks looked as red as tomatoes! "I'm not embarrassed either....and I'm not cuteee..." The child mumbled in a whining kind of manner. He tried to wriggle out, but her arms sort of kept him in place. The child pouted. He hoped Celmaru was able to reason with the sea weed woman! The pint sized warrior groaned. "I'm not adorableeeeee.........." He was a warrior! Not some toy to cuddle with! And it seems Celmaru agreed with that, however, Etoru didn't like the analogy he used. 'Stuffed Animal' to Etoru. "Hey...I'm at a higher league than Mr.Walker!" The child stated stubbornly. There was no way he'd be outdone by a tree man.
Then Phae was hoping that Etoru was less stressed out. She even stated he talked a lot now. That made him blink confused. Guess she was right...Etoru did talk a lot didn't he. "Um...yes...thank you Ms.Phae." He said in a polite quiet tone. Mostly because of his shyness/embarrassment of being hugged and cuddled when he should being punched and kicked! Still, it was true that he felt a lot happier. But...this would probably last for today, or maybe just around these two. He acts like himself on the ship with his robot companion Ana, and with Reikiko but...Reikiko's well...dead. The child tried not to think on it however. Not today! Tonight was going to be a happy night. He knew even if he wanted to, he simply just couldn't be 'happy'. So he wanted to make the most of tonight and considered it a exception. Etoru snuggled up against Phae with a bright smile before he even let out a giggle!
Things were going so well. Phae told him to just simply rest. Doing as told, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and rested. He smiled comfortably. "This is a great night..." Etoru thought. Nothing could go wrong! Not tonight! Then...he felt Kaula building up A LOT of energy. Etoru's eyes opened widely. He jumped out of Phae's arms before he was panicking so much he tripped and face planted onto the grass. Instantly, he pushed himself up and ran towards the middle of the clearing breathing heavily. He stared into the sky worried. "No...No no! N-Not Ms.Kaula too...!" Etoru breathed fast. Kaula was one of the biggest influences on him! Without her, he may have never even GONE super saiyan! Before he knew it...she fired the attack! It was extremely powerful!
Etoru focused intently on the attack. But before he knew it...that undetectable force...fired its attack. The attack was so powerful...reaching 40 million Power level in heights. Of course Etoru couldn't sense numbers, he could feel the intense amount of power backed up into that attack. It was frightening! Etoru held his heart in fear and fell on his rear beginning to hyperventilate as he stared into the sky with wide eyes. "T....T....T...T-t-t-that...p-power was..." A cold sweat ran down his neck. Due to sheer fear, tears weld up in his eyes. "J-J-Just...w-what was that..." Before he knew it...Kaula's power began snuffing out. It dropped and dropped until he couldn't even sense it anymore. "Ka-Kaula died...t-too..." Etoru fell silent, shaky exhales exerting from his body. He stood up to his feet staring at the sky. "...I-It just isn't fair..." A white aura spiraled around him. That white aura which danced around his miniature form splashed into a yellow aura. His hair spiked up and his eyes turned emerald. He roared in agony and rage. The ground below him formed into a small crater.
"HHHRAGHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Etoru punched the ground, leaving a huge crack that stretched across the clearing. His hair started to slowly spike up even more. Lightning danced around his form! It looked like he was just about to ascend to the next level! However...unable to handle the power, his hair snapped back to black and he collapsed onto his back. He panted, tears rolling down his face as he simply stared into the dim lit sky as he lied in the crater. Shaky exhales was exerted from himself and he continued to sniffle as he lost yet another friend.

The hybrid chuckled between his teeth as Etoru repeatedly stated that he wasn't cute, nor embarrassed. Celmaru faced downwards, away from both Phae and the hybrid child as he began to attempt a stifling of his said chuckling. Etoru would surely lash out at him for that, considering his frantic hopes of persuading his wife that he wasn't as she believed him to be. Meanwhile, Phae had affectionately held the child in her arms, a warm grin upon her facial features as she listened to Etoru's brief giggling. " You seem much happier than before, little Etoru. I'm glad that we were able to remedy your troubles." Celmaru heard a minuscule rustling within the canopy of trees behind him, and sensed several....familiar Ki signatures behind him and within the surrounding forest; assassins. Unfortunately, another Ki arose from the vastness of space; something well over ten million, and millions more. The hybrid's pupils dilated as he nearly fell upon his back, frantically placing his arms below him as he became utterly shocked by the influx of Ki. Celmaru blinked, hoping that such a massive Ki wasn't real, however Etoru confirmed his fears. " What...w-what was-" " Ah, Etoru!" Phae had receded her arms swiftly as Etoru fell onto the grassy soil, muttering of another person the hybrid has heard of; Kaula. Another warrior mentioned by Walker himself, the hybrid was shocked to sense her Ki beginning to fade, slowly but surely....into nothing. Another massive influx had occurred mere moments before, reaching as high as forty million, forcing a headache into Celmaru's cranium. Meanwhile, Phae had been beside the child, resting her hands upon him to comfort him once more. Unfortunately, Etoru's hyperventilation hadn't dissipated, nor appeared to be doing so for a while. " Etoru, please, you must calm down! This sort of emotional stress is harmful to you!" Phae was suddenly blown back as a bold golden aura flared to life around the child's frame, forcing another wave of painful stress upon the hybrid as he sensed another burst of gigantic Ki. The hybrid clasped his forehead within the influx of Ki as Etoru's frame began to crackle with bio-electricity. Phae sat upon the soil, her eyes wide, and her expression simply that of shock as the younger hybrid nearly ascended. Another flash of gold, and Etoru's Super Saiyan form had disappeared, leaving a merely sobbing child in its wake. Celmaru shook his head, his head throbbing from the near-splitting headache he had received, and Phae immediately flew towards the child, shifting his position to allow the child's cranium to rest upon her lap. Etoru, if he chose to accept the lap-pillow of sorts, would be lying sideways upon her lap, facing the seaweed woman's gaze at a ninety-degree angle via her left side. Despite his sorrowful, yet vengeful outburst, Phae wasn't intimidated by Etoru's power....she simply knew that he was a child....and only wanted to best for him, despite having all the power he could ever want. Phae began to wipe away the hybrid's tears once more as she spoke softly, gazing at the younger hybrid straight in the eyes. " We all must face loss....yet we all must know that we will see those who perished once more...in another time, another place....possibly even in another life, another era. I'm sure your friend would appreciate it if you simply allowed her to rest in peace...I hope you may understand, and move on with the memory of your friend Kaula within you...as long as you may live, Etoru....you'll know when to move on....you mustn't stay within the past, and simply gaze towards the future...to another time, another place, and simply.....a better day." As Phae concluded her brief moment of speech, the elder hybrid stood, clasping his forehead lightly as he faded into thin air. Despite his near-destructive headache, Celmaru proceeded to silently, yet abruptly assault the hidden assassins, several brief, yet prominent screams audible within the darkness of the forest. Several moments later, Celmaru reappeared, promptly sitting himself upon the earthen soil as he leaned upon one hand, groaning quietly from his headache. " Damn....Liam..." The hybrid cursed his cousin as he removed several star-like shapes from his pants; shurikens. " Gah....that was careless...or those assassins were better trained than I anticipated..." Fortunately, they were merely stuck within the fabric of the jeans, and were easily removed. Regardless, Etoru seemed to be in a rather pitiful state, and seemed vulnerable. The clearing was silent, save for Etoru's sniffling, and suddenly a large collection of bodies began to descend to the Earth, with limp THUDS audible in the early evening. They all began to descend from the treetops as Celmaru removed the last of the shurikens from his pants, making a mental note of those he had knocked unconscious. ' Fifteen....Eighteen.....Twenty-One....Twenty-Four....' Hopefully Etoru's night can be rectified once more....and if not, then Celmaru can only hope that the child wouldn't retaliate against the couple.
I apologize for the wait, Etoru! |

Etoru lied in the crater sniffling. Tears rolled down his face as he stared into the sky's. It just wasn't fair...was Reikiko's thoughts and ideals right? Was this really how the universe was? Death, violence, and grief? Why does he have to be the one to suffer the most...Etoru continued to cry as Phae floated down towards him quickly. Judging by how she was acting when he freaked out from the undetected power source's attack, Phae was extremely concerned with Etoru's well being. She gently picked up Etoru and placed his head on her lap comforting him. Despite feeling comforted, Etoru still couldn't help but cry. Phae began to wipe the continuous tears that constantly kept flowing down the pint sized warriors eyes. She met his sorrowful gaze and began to speak to Etoru.
We all must face loss....yet we all must know that we will see those who perished once more...in another time, another place....possibly even in another life, another era. I'm sure your friend would appreciate it if you simply allowed her to rest in peace...I hope you may understand, and move on with the memory of your friend Kaula within you...as long as you may live, Etoru....you'll know when to move on....you mustn't stay within the past, and simply gaze towards the future...to another time, another place, and simply.....a better day. Hearing those words, Etoru sniffled sadly. He shook his head, which sort of grinded against her lap. His locks of hair moving about as he did so. "...N-no...I c-can't, s-s-she's not the first...I-I lost so much al-already...I don't wanna lose someone else too!" Etoru, who was still extremely depressed, was also extremely spooked and startled from the intense power that undetectable entity, or if it's even considered an entity. So aside from crying from sadness and grief, he was also crying from fear. I mean, the kid was literally SHAKING in her lap. And to think Etoru was planning to go up against the queen with that kind of firepower on her side.
Then, Etoru sensed over a dozen people with relatively low power levels. However...being spooked and startled from Bing's attack, he seemed easy to scare. Of course, before all this, Etoru actually 'was' a big chicken and or scaredy cat. So it was nothing new. But right now, he was just in a vulnerable state of fear. Picking his head up to see what the commotion about, tears were dropping on the floor and on Phae's lap. He sniffled, but blinked confused when he saw the ninjas. Before he knew it, a shuriken zoomed past his face nearly slicing him. Of course, it wouldn't have done any good, but considering his fear was really just making him a vulnerable target, that probably would have done something. Etoru squealed in fright before he clung to Phae again. So much things were just happening all at once and...he can't keep up...

" I know you weren't like this before your first loss, Etoru. Please, cease your unfortunate tears....think positively....and please think of what others have seen as well." Phae paused for a moment, hesitating before she told Etoru of what she has seen for herself. " Etoru....I have seen multiple generations of the Waterfield family wither and die....unfortunately under my own guidance. I've seen them fight in wars, through drought and disease...face their own internal, unexplainable struggles before one of them even took their own life....sometimes something even worse. I've personally witnessed thousands of people meet their demise....yet I don't spend the rest of my extended life mourning their loss....even over my first love."
"Regardless, I'm sure that others know that I am better than that....I know you are too, Etoru. You know others that depend on you as much as you do to them....please don't let them down, for those who haven't perished. Celmaru has sensed your Ki, along with me...you are more powerful than either of us, with just as much potential as my husband. We are willing to assist you in achieving your dream...as impossible as others believe it to be. You don't....no....you shouldn't have to bear this all alone." The younger hybrid had begun to shake upon the seaweed woman's lap. The elder hybrid, still counting the fallen, yet unconscious bodies, hadn't noticed what his wife had said. Phae placed her right palm atop the young warrior's chest, transferring the tiniest fraction of her true Ki within him, simply in hopes of calming the tiny individual. More reinforcements had appeared within the depths of the forest, creeping upon the trio as if they couldn't be sensed. Celmaru huffed softly to himself, keeping count of those who have fallen. ' Sixty....sixty-three.....sixty-six....sixty-nine....seventy-two....Sweet Kais above, there are a ton of them....I must be having an off day...I didn't think I eliminated this many....' More shurikens appeared from within the darkness, whizzing past Phae and Etoru. Unfortunately, a singular, stray projectile weapon spun past the seaweed woman, grazing her arm slightly, revealing a small cut. This, however, was enough to set off the hybrid, unleashing his furious transformation. Celmaru's eyes were hidden beneath his bangs, a dark, threatening intent facing the atmosphere almost completely manifested. Jerking his head backwards suddenly, the hybrid bent his arms at the elbow, his aura melting away from a light blue to a bold gold; Super Saiyan. " You dare harm my wife!? HOPELESS FOOLS! HRRRRAAAAGH!" The earthen soil shattered beneath the hybrid's feet, exploding as it was laced with a golden flare. Celmaru had contracted Floating Pebble Syndrome as his Super Saiyan transformation had once again revealed itself. Not one person would have time to register Super Saiyan Celmaru's appearance within their vision....well, except Etoru...before the hybrid vanished via supersonic velocity. More screams were audible within the leafy foliage, however they seemed more tortured, slightly in vain. A golden blur was visible, circling the clearing as the cries of pain followed, each highly-trained assassin falling unconscious....if you could say that. A brief explosion had occurred as well, thrusting a ring of dust and force around the point of impact before the Super Saiyan hybrid appeared once more. Celmaru's arms were folded, and his eyes were closed...simply to hide his ire that was contained within them. The hybrid's chest swelled slightly as he inhaled, shrinking to its original size as he exhaled swiftly. " ....I apologize for my outburst." " Husband....such force wasn't necessary." " Doesn't matter. They injured you, threatened Etoru, endangered us all...I guess. I don't want to murder them, yet I want them to learn their lesson....so I simply knocked them all unconscious. None of them will be awake until next sunrise, at least." " Celmaru-" " Let's make use of this time by making sure Etoru is alright." The child had began to cling to Phae desperately, likely out of fear. The seaweed woman embraced the hybrid child once more, holding him close as she stroked his disrupted locks once more, almost coddling him like he was Core. Celmaru, meanwhile, sat down once more, retaining his Super Saiyan form as he crossed his legs once more, seemingly meditating. Hopefully that was the last of them, simply so Etoru could calm down.
Mastered Super Saiyan activated! PL is now 2,811,018! (Note: No Ki transfer occurred, it was a sort of calming method, simply spreading warmth throughout the receiver's body via Ki) I truly apologize for the delay, Etoru! ;-; |

As Etoru sniffled, Phae tried reasoning to him. She started to talk about all the things she's seen for herself. Apparently she's seen death after death. And in so many gruesome ways as well. It sounded tragic to say the least. Etoru sniffled a bit as he clung to her, listening to her speak. His sniffling slowed down as he listened, being a little bit more calmer. Etoru shook his head when she finished. "N...N-No...y-y-you're wrong...I have to do it alone....N-No one's going to help me!" He cried out. This goal was simply something that had to be done by his actions and his alone. He wasn't going to let Zucceta fall by the hands of someone else. No way. It was his duty, and his alone.
Suddenly, he looked up only to see a shuriken graze Phae. Etoru yelped in fear and dove back against Phae hiding his face again visibly shaking. "Eek!" The child squeaked. He sensed Celmaru's power flare and fight the baddies while he was still spooked by that incredible power that was displayed earlier. Soon things calmed down and Phae let some ki into his chest to calm him down. Etoru barely shook now, only sniffling. He pushed off her gently, his bottom lip quivering. He wiped his eyes with his right forearm before looking at her and Celmaru. "there's a difference between our losses Ms.Phae..." Etoru spoke out quietly, and shakily. "Mines involves a person killing everyone I know one by one....yours involves natural death..."
The child sniffled before turning around. He slowly began walking away. "I...I think I should go you two..." The grass crunched beneath his feet as he walked. All of a sudden he stopped. Before he knew it, he turned around and bolted towards Phae attempting to give her a big hug. "T...Thank you Ms.Phae...." He'd then push off her and look at Celmaru before bowing respectfully. "T-....Thank you Mr.Celmaru..." With that said and done, he soared off into the sky away from the two.
