Down the Rabbit Hole [Tekuma] [INVITE]

Collard flew through the skies above the Kashvar Fortress, like the desert breeze colliding into objects and crashing waves hitting the beach. The saiyan father's long, milky brown colored locks whipped back and forth across his face like a fiery tale as he flung himself over sharp rocks and heavy debris that had fallen ages ago from the fortress. He didn’t know where he was nor did he know where he was heading. He had no idea what time it was and he had no clue what day. All he knew was he had to keep going forward. Not stopping for anything.

Once again, the ever so elusive Capper had been found missing from his bed in the morning, sending Collard's parental instincts into overdrive. Every single time this happened, nothing good came out of it. To be perfectly honest, the father was both worried sick and annoyed at Capper's disappearances. It would be much safer for the tiny technician if he just stayed home safe, or left with Collard's protection. What drove him to head out on his own like this? It was an enigma to Collard, but be could theororize. Maybe Capper wanted to prove himself, maybe he wanted to learn more about how to revive Chire, maybe he wanted to show himself that he wasn't entierly useless on his own... Collard was taken back to his days as a child, where he shared the shoes Capper walked in. He wanted to prove himself- he wanted to be someone.

Powering up masterfully to his Super Saiyan State, the father saiyan would land on the ground in the heart of the ruined, yet somewhat rebuilt Kashvar fortress. While on his search for his son, Collard had spotted one of Capper's gloves lying on the outskirts of the mighty castle of the dark wizards... Now holding the gray glove in hand, Collard would turn back as another streak of energy flew through the skies above, landing near the father saiyan. Courgi, Capper's own grandfather and Collard's mechanized father, rolled his shoulders, eyes opening and locking onto his son. "Oof, you know I can't keep up with you as a Super Saiyan, kid." The android spoke, taking a few deep breaths to regain control of his heavy breathing. "I'm getting too old for this and you know it." He spoke, neck rolling with a sudden crack. Collard huffed, tired eyelids lowering somewhat as he stared up at the exposed skies in one of the old fortress' courtyards. "As am I, dad."

The Hofferson duo glanced around at their surroundings. The castle lay like an old man of the hill, the moonlight shone on his craggy, tumble down face. Dents caved into the shade of the ancient walls. The once proud towers had crumbled in places giving the impression of a disheveled party hat. Grass trimmed short between rectangular beds, just barely kept alive. Aromatic leaves with air scented by blossoms dotted the old courtyard. Tiny green leaves of the a strange blue plant that seemed to let off a faint glow, and Rosemary with dark green leaves and white central stripe growing on woody stems budded in pots nearby... Collard raised a brow, wondering what could bring Capper to this dark fortress. But they had to find their little one as soon as possible, before something happened to him. Again.
