[PL: 342,224|CURRENT PL: 5] Etoru was currently running up a hill on the famous Mountain known as Mount Paozu. The boy was seeking out a new place to train. After all, training in the same place all the time could get boring. More importantly however, the boy was out here in search of adventure as well! Of course, it'd probably be just another boring day, or maybe he'll run into something, or even someone, interesting! The child was wearing his Serpent Uniform. His headband had the Serpent insignia on the forehead, while the strands of the green headpiece ran halfway down his back. The sun reflected against his mechanical forearm while the wind ran through his coal black hair as he sprinted up the hill. He was having a small fit of laughter, enjoying the little sprint up the mound of earth--up until the point where his fun was cut short. "EEK!" The child was having too much fun too notice that the hill lead to a cliff. Unfortunately, he didn't register what was happening in time to fly, but he didn't fall all the way down the cliff. As he fell, a few twisted branches caught hold of his tail. He yelped, going limp at the sudden pressure at his fuzzy appendage, before he simply just hung there like a ragdoll. Fortunately, his tail was just hanging between the bundles of branches, so it didn't cause him much pain. It was when he tried to move that it hurt. Etoru huffed, pouting as his arms hung over his head. The boy came to a conclusion that he was stuck, and inhaled deeply in annoyance. "SOMEBODY!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He frowned, knowing his chances of someone finding him were slim. Part of him was glad though. Etoru didn't not want to be caught in an embarrassing situation such as this. And it wasn't like he could just up and blast the branch! That'd risk hurting his tail, and that would hurt like hell. --- Shemha

Shemha’s plans on Earth were simple at face value. However, like many trips to the blue planet, the journey rarely went as planned. Currently she searched for the dojo of the new Crane Master. Sources were mixed and several places already turned out to be dead ends. Based on the knowledge gained from her most recent foray into the city, the southern islands might house whomever it was that took the style over. All she knew was Walker had been the master of the crane school even if he chose to venture off to Namek. With his death, another had taken the reigns. Sadly, whomever that was, was shrouded in mystery.
Through the air she went, her demonic companion to her left as two streaked across the sky. Unbeknownst to her, a signature she was vaguely familiar with was near by, but suppressed so low she didn’t even pick up on it. Only when the young hybrid bellowed at the top of his lungs did she realize he was so close.
Not one to be overly concerned with the well being of others these days, the shout did cause her to come to a halt. Senses refocused on the area around her she discovered the lowly signature of 5. Normally that was worth ignoring, but despite its current weakened state, she recognized the energy. On Namek this same individual fought alongside Mayze and managed to survive when the General had not. Unsure of the boys name, one Capper mentioned but she failed to connect, his cry for help suddenly interested her.
Destination shifted, she took off in the direction of his signature and in moments was hovering several yards from his dangling form. Somehow, the boy had ended up caught along a cliff. The Majin’s head cocked to the side at the curious site, while Meridia chose to speak right up.
”This isn’t something you see everyday. Why in the world are you all the way up here kid?” She asked with her hands on her hips, almost like a mother might do when addressing a neighborhood child. Shemha jumped in though, knowing this boy was more than he seemed.
”Why indeed. Tell me child, did you see General Mayze meet his end?” Shemha questioned in rather blunt fashion. It was a tad rude, but any information she could gather on the Super Saiyans death was important. So far, her only first hand source was Xylo himself, hardly a trustworthy one.

Etoru sighed loudly. He was beginning to feel light headed as all the blood was rushing towards his head. "Is anyone going to come..." The boy grumbled. "This flipping blows..." He closed his eyes, about to take a nap and hopefully 'wait it out', but then he sensed two powerful signatures head his way. Etoru's eyes jerked open, only too be met with a Humanoid looking Demon, and a Majin.
Etoru blinked blankly staring at the two. "Eh...?" The demon questioned what he was doing all the way up here, which caused Etoru's cheeks to fluster a bit. "W-Well...." Before he could try to come up with a lie that wasn't as embarrassing as the truth, the Majin lady hit him with a random yet personal question. Etoru glared daggers at her. "And just who the heck do you think you are asking me a question like that?!" The boy narrowed his eyes, feeling something odd about her presence. It was as if...as if Walker's energy was in there. In fact, she looked kind of like him as well! Etoru decided not to dwell on that too much, he just wanted to get off this stupid branch. "Can you just get me down already, darn it!" HE growled, squirming around before letting out a small yelp as he felt pressure at his tail.

A small snort escaped the Majin as the boy got excited, voice rising as he requested to be freed from his predicament. Power un-suppressed, Shemha was cliffside in an instant and a simple swing of her arm severed the branch that held the hybrid captive. No attempt to catch him was made, assuming someone on the level of General Mayze could keep himself aloft. Then again, he had found himself in this predicament. Instead, she answered his question despite the fact he was yet to answer hers.
”My name is Shemha and I am Commander of the Solar Saiyan Empire’s military forces. Mayze was an ally of mine and I wish to know the details of his demise.” She attempted to clarify her request. Part of forgot that the creature before her was indeed a child and like Capper, recalling the events of Namek might be hard on him, but she needed to know. The more she could understand the events that took place on Namek, the more justified her destruction of Xylo would be.

At his request to be let down, the Majin known as Shemha vanished and reappeared at the top of the cliff. She swung her arm, easily breaking the branch. Etoru was really worried she might hit his tail, but alas, her strike was accurate. The child was about to thank her, before gravity took its place and he began to fall. "E-Eep!" He flailed his arms wildly, awkwardly flying again. The young Saiyan boy floated back up to the Solar Saiyan duo.
"Thanks for the help! I guess?" Etoru scratched his head awkwardly. He supposed he should just take his leave, before Shemha began to introduce herself. Which actually got Etoru's attention. "Commander of the...wait huh?? What about Ms.Habana...I thought she was Commader." He blinked blankly. Shemha began to ask about Mayze again, which caused Etoru to squint at her. Mayze being her ally, she of course, would have every right to know about what happened. But, of course, Etoru was too stubborn for that. "Eh...well, I don't really like the Solar Saiyan Empire...." Etoru said, with a hint of an attitude in his voice. "I dunno...why should I tell you....hmmm...?"

Despite being part of the Empire, a collection of hot headed Saiyan warriors, Shemha possessed a great deal of patience. Discipline and control instilled in her by her original master, the slave turned commander still maintained the traits that defined her. So far, the power had not gone to her head. Only time would tell if the position changed her or if more absorptions down the road altered her further.
Again, the less than thankful child dodged her question. No, he didn’t dodge it, he straight out demanded why he should tell her the details. Shemha felt being an ally of Mayze was enough, but clearly the selfish runt cared little for her investment in the dead soldier. Of course the fact he so openly stated his distaste for the SSE made it clear the two of them would not hit it off, yet perhaps if she informed him of the recent changes he might be more willing to share with her.
”Ms. Habana as you refer to her is now Queen Habana. With Zucceta stepping down, she was appointed as the next leader of the Empire. Her trust in me as granted me this position of Commander, one I intend to fulfill to the fullest of my abilities.Hence, my desire to gather information.” She explained, tone almost shifting a bit before she curved it and kept it nuetral. From what this boy displayed so far, a temper wasn’t going to get her anywhere when dealing with him. Hopefully, regardless of his apparent young age, he possessed enough sense to realize there was no reason for tension between them.

Etoru's eyes widened a bit. "Queen...?" Etoru grinned. "That's so cool...." Suddenly, he felt his heart skip a beat. He vandalized the palace before, and stole the old throne. Did...did the SSE Know? More importantly, does she know? Etoru chuckled awkwardly for what looks to be for no reason. "R-Right, uh....um, so you're commander now!"
Etoru thought maybe, if he told her about Mayze, her attention would be focused on that, and maybe she wouldn't recognize the boy. "Ok...fine, I'll tell ya. Any other warrior who stood up to Xylo died. It was just Mayze and I fighting, up until Xylo's weird egg ball summoned a powerful demon named Ouroboro's." Etoru closed his eyes stubbornly. "Your 'Saiyan General' gave up. I was fighting all the way through like a real hero." Of course, that was a lie as well. At one point in the fight, Etoru was actually trying to hide from the evil trio. "Anyways, he decided to die fighting and actually told me to leave. I mean sure, his reasons weren't really to save my life, but, if I did leave while he fought, he was doing just that! But I wasn't gonna just leave, and so we continued to fight until Xylo and Ouroboros....well....blasted me with a duo attack to the point where I was pretty much near dead. Mayze was shot down by some demon guy named Aliastair afterwards. But trust me, I'm gonna get a whole bunch stronger and beat Xylo myself, find the dragonballs, and bring back Mayze. Just you wait!"

Whatever this child’s relationship with Habana was, Shemha had to believe it was a positive one. The excitement he showed at the news of her promotion to Queen hinted he was at the very least a fan of hers, if not a friend. As for his recent actions in the throne room, she knew of the episode, but not the details. With little real damage done to the place and what was easily fixed, the whole event didn’t cause much of a stir. Of course that wasn’t to say she would not be cross with the child if she found out he was responsible for such a disrespectful act.
His spirits perhaps lifted a little with the news of “Ms. Habana,” he decided to recount the events that surrounded Mayze’s death. Most of it she knew, the powerful creature that aided Xylo in his takeover of Namek and the fact he gave little quarter to those who opposed him. Aware of another powerful presence alongside the Namekian Lord, a name was finally revealed, Aliastair. Unfamiliar with the creature beyond sensing its presence that day, she logged the name. Shemha did not look for violence, but she believed in harsh punishment for crimes. Walker betrayed them and he paid for it with his life. This Aliastair took the life of her ally and his sentence would be the same.
”Thank you.” Shemha began as her tone suddenly softened now that he was cooperating. ”While you are no fan of the SSE it appears we both share the same outlook on Xylo and what his fate should be. Perhaps with this shared goal you might see the Empire in a new light. After all, Habana is Queen now and things will be different.” She said as her arms casually crossed over her chest. Different was the right word, but she honestly wasn’t sure if it was for the better. Shemha respected Habana above most, but she still wondered about the decision to ally with Earth.
”May I ask your name?” She questioned as she realized he hadn’t offered it yet. Despite is current signature, she knew he was far stronger and for someone so young…it was impressive. This might be a chance to get to know him.
”I’m Meridia by the way.” Off to the side Meridia suddenly chimed in for fear that she was being forgotten. She threw a small, half serious glare at the Majin in front of her who had forgotten(or chosen) to not introduce the demon.

Etoru let out a huff. She did have a point, the SSE was under the leadership of someone he could trust me. But still...does a new leader change the people? It actually had Etoru wondering for a moment. Sure, Etoru really disliked Saiyan's as a whole...but he never had a huge grudge against them. The only reason he hated the Solar Saiyan Empire was because of Zucceta! Etoru crossed his arms. "I guess. But still, I don't wanna see you...Solar Saiyan nerds get in the way of MY battle. That goes for Ms.Habana too! And as for his 'fate', I'm not going to kill him." The boy stated with a voice that was backed up with a ton of confidence. He stared off into the other hills as the light from the sun beamed at the trio. "Master Bing told me that an enemy could one day be an ally on the battlefield. I mean, I'm still not friends with her, but Zucceta is chums with everyone else now, and she tried over taking the Earth as a whole before!"
Shemha then asked for his name, which caused him to blink. Her partner introduced herself as well, so Etoru thought it was only fair that they got to know who he was. I mean, who wouldn't want to know? "Meridia...and Shemha...eh?" The boy closed his eyes calmly, a wide, cocky smirk plastered over his face. Cartoony sparkles danced around his head. "Well, the name's Etoru Aeum...! Strongest fighter the Earth has to offer....you might of heard of me? Heh."

”It is a pleasure to meet you, Etoru.” Shemha responded with a small nod, ignoring the boys little huff all together. Power aside, he was still very much a child and it was easy to see. His view on the “Solar Saiyan nerds” wasn’t the type of thing she felt it possible to argue against. To her it was a pointless as trying to explain to a child that the store was out of his favorite kind of ice cream. Screaming and stomping was destined to follow. So, instead she tried to take a lighter approach, almost a playful one as she began to understand who it was she dealt with. It wasn’t to insult him, but an attempt at better communication.
”Honestly, I have never heard the name before.” Shemha stated with a very matter of fact tone. It was the truth, the name might have been mentioned in passing, but she couldn’t recall. She didn’t stop there. ”I have heard of Vi-Poi though, isn’t he the strongest defender the Earth has?” She asked. Aware that both the Premier and Etoru were strong, she wasn’t exactly sure on either of their limits. However, the androids name preceded him so it wasn’t unreasonable to believe he was the epitome of Earths defenders.
”Although, regardless of whichever one is stronger, the both of them sure don’t look that intimidating.” Meridia piped in. Shemha didn’t agree out loud, but it was true. If she hadn’t heard the stories about Vi-Poi she definitely would not have looked at him the same way she did now. He was the leader of Earth and all its powerful warriors and also a destroyer of worlds. Despite his current stand as an ally of the Empire, she didn’t trust him.

"Eheh...!" Etoru rubbed his thumb against his nose in an arrogant manner. "Yup...nice to meet you too!" He said, while adding in a toothy grin. His attitude slowly shifted from that of being an arrogant little snob, to shock and surprise. "W-Wh...huh??" The boy's arms slumped down in defeat and confusion. "Y-You uh, you sure?" A tinge of red was plastered onto his cheeks. And then she really pushed it. His face flushed, and he puffed his cheeks out slightly. "T-That jerk! I-I-I mean SURE! He's strong I guess...! But you can't even sense him...s-so there's no way to tell! AND BESIDES! He needed to fight Zucceta with a group! I took on that jerk ALONE...." Granted, the boy did lose, but he would like to believe she cheated.
And then, Shemha's little buddy, Meridia, decided to give her two cents stating that neither of them looked intimidating. The young child's jaw dropped. "I look intimidating! Very much so in fact!" It reminded him of the time he first met Ms.Zerori and Maeve. They were talking about 'battle scars', and back then he didn't really have any. But now? He pointed at his mechanical forearm. "Eh?! This intimidating enough huh??" The boy squatted, and gave a good knock on his leg. The sound of metal emitted. "See...intimidating."

Even Shemha smiled at the boy’s reaction to their subtle jabs. Deeper than that, Etoru was fascinating on his own level. So clearly a child in most senses of the word, the power signature that she remembered from Namek was far greater than her own capabilities. Many warriors took years to reach fractions of that strength. Part of her wondered what his family line looked like. Was he from a long line of powerful warriors? Maybe that would explain the massive potential he possessed and the strength he was already able so summon. Question for another time though.
”I believe I would label that as unfortunate before intimidating.” She stated as he indicated that not only was one arm visibly artificial, but so was his leg. After a small pause she went ahead and asked the immediate question that came to mind.
”That was a result of you battle with Xylo, correct?” She looked to verify and to shape her argument for why he should give the newest version of the SSE a chance. He may want to get a second shot at Xylo, but there was far more at stake than one child’s ego.

Etoru let out a small, shrill whine when she commented on his prosthetics. "They aren't unfortunate...." He mumbled. Though, he really didn't want to admit it, as an act of acting tough and cool, Etoru really did miss his old limbs. I mean who wouldn't? These ones were void of any type of feeling to them. Sure, it had its perks...that he still had yet to learn to master....but you get the point.
Etoru sighed, closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head. "Yeah, I did. What about it? It's not like you should care anyways. You never heard of me..." His voice had a clear hint of salt lingering in it. But, his saltiness would have to hold, as he was beginning to fall victim to boredom. Etoru seriously didn't want to be stuck talking all day. "All of this Xylo junk is really bothering me. Can we like, I dunno, do something? What do you do for fun Ms.Shemha?" Although it might have been barely noticeable, especially if you don't know Etoru, him referring to Shemha as 'Ms.' was his way of showing a little respect. Etoru was seeming to like the majin lady a little more now. But she wasn't the only one with answers! He turned his head to face Meridia as well. "Meridia...?"

A small smirk played across Shemha’s lips at his witty little response. Arms still across her chest, she shrugged a little as he questioned what she did for fun. Honestly, he wasn’t about to enjoy any response that she could give. Her hobbies were training, planning for the future of the Empire and spending the occasional night in a bar. That last of those was only when the right company was around and couldn’t be done with a child. Glowing eyes on him for a moment she was about to ask if he knew where she might find the new Crane Master, but her companion cut her off.
”You know, Shemha here is one heck of a warrior when she puts her heart into it. I bet she could teach you a thing or two even if you are the “strongest fighter the Earth has to offer.”” Meridia piped in with a small chuckle to follow. Clearly she was attempting to instigate between the two of them, curious to see if just how powerful this child was. At Shemha’s side the demon continued to encounter powerful individuals from various planets and different origins, was this truly another?
For her part Shemha simply glanced to the raven haired beauty at her side. Meridia was her friend, there was no denying it, but sometimes the girl needed to keep her mouth shut. Yet, with the proposal out there, Shemha couldn’t exactly back down right away. How would that make her look? So instead of any excuse or taking her leave, she gradually switched her focus back to Etoru, a neutral expression where her smirk once stood.

Etoru scoffed. "Her? Teach me? Heh, as if. What's there to learn...." Truth be told, Etoru was seeking out as much training as he could get. He figured that if he got all the best fighter's tactics, style, and techniques down...he'd be a legend! But those people were usually stronger than him. He wasn't sure how strong this Majin chick was, but he highly doubted she was stronger than him. It's not every day that you see someone as strong as a Super Saiyan Two.
The boy closed his eyes arrogantly. He crossed his arms, letting out a slight exhale. The strands of his green Bandana which stretched half way down his back, began to tug over to the right due to the wind. He opened his eyes, smirking. "Alright, if that's whatchya want. I guess I'll see what you have to offer...but I doubt it'll be much! After all, I'm a pro!" The boy floated over to the mountain behind him, still facing Shemha. He crouched into a Serpent stance, before his ghostly white aura blew up, licking around his form. ---
