"How horrible..."Porsalynne and Charlene quietly made their way through the damaged capital city of Konats. It was horrible. There was even still some smoke from the fires. Corpses were being collected and carted away, make shift hospitals had been set up to tend to the wounded. The place had looked like a war zone. But what could have caused all this damage? As they quietly made their way through the streets, trying to keep out of sight, Porsalynne felt her lover's presence inside of her, directly linked to her mind. "How could this have happened?"The carnage had happened all too quickly. Had Plato done this? In his goal to destroy Breech, did he do this to the city? A part of the disembodied consciousness didn't think so. The damage was too wide spread and happened too quickly. Do not worry about it my love. What's important is getting you restored.Breech had used multiple facilities to install the cybernetics into Konats' citizens. As such it wasn't too much of a stretch that they could be used to create a new form for Cipher. Especially since they weren't in use anymore. The mother and child were looking for such a facility at this very moment. "Wait..."Porsalynne paused. A strange feeling had overcome her, and she was sure Cipher was feeling it to. Charlene walked a couple of steps further, stopped and looked back. "Mom?" Porsalynne remained quiet. It was clear she was speaking to Cipher. What is it?"Something is wrong..."----*^*---- It floated there in silence, surrounded by the regenerative fluid of the healing tank. The severed head of Cipher 24. It seemed odd, taking a lifeless head, taken from a dead foe, and throwing it into a regeneration tank. Especially when the being was mostly mechanical. But after several hours in the tank, it was clear that these doubts were for naught. The artificial form had been completely restored, seemingly grown out from the head itself, artificial muscles and systems replacing those destroyed in the battle against Vennel, and consumed by the majin Kaza. It could almost be considered a miracle in medical science. Except there was one small problem. The body was empty. Cipher's consciousness, his soul, left his body upon his death, taking residence within his beloved, down in the city below. As such, all this had done was simply reconstructed an empty shell. Surely a pointless task for the ones who had put him in there. But that's where everyone would be wrong. For when Cipher had vacated his body, he had left something behind. And that something was about to wake up. Alaistair Plato

(Thread PL: 218,644) (Current PL: Max, but split between 4 forms. Multi Form (SU3) being used. All Alaistair duplicates have 54,661) A few days had passed since they'd taken the city over. Alaistair had arrived back at the Loft with Cipher's head and brought it all the way to the top floor, in his penthouse, and had left it there. Up until yesterday, it'd been a lifeless husk with fake skin strapped over metal on top of glass table. He'd not heard from Tekuma, the daughter in law that he and Cipher shared. The Devil was surprised that Cipher hadn't awakened yet, so he decided to have a very small rejuvenation chamber, really more like a jar capable of holding a head and a oxygen masked linked to it. It was for those types of creatures that could continue living, even when they were just a head, this of course including android individuals. The Devil had been fairly patient with Cipher, expecting that he'd need some time to turn back on. Work had been getting done to set up a banquet, in celebration for Plato's return to power, as well as for those who'd fallen because of Breech's deceit! The Devil was to be Plato's ambassador, so much work was getting hurled on his plate, but at the same time, it was also answering much of his work. Ergo, why he had been able to get such a thing for Cipher's head! The time of day had been the afternoon, just as the heat was on a great rise over the reconstructing city. Many people were homeless, having taken residence up in the Loft while Alaistair had construction ordered to repair damaged buildings, as well as old building left to fall apart too, so that the people could have homes to live in! Oddly, this felt rather similar to another point in his life. A peaceful time, even in the chaos, with Alaistair helping civilians downstairs in his split form, so that Eres, Dorgia, and Arthus didn't get swarmed with the influx of people. While they were being paid, the fact that they had so many people coming in was so helpful! The Devil split in the penthouse kept his gaze focused upon Cipher, having felt something stirring... Which disturbed Alaistair. Not only could he feel something in this 'lifeless' head, there was something very wrong in it. Alaistair wasn't able to make heads or tails of it, as he'd been operating in a very busy manner! He had relayed the message to Plato, telling him to come to the Loft to help him figure out what was going on within Cipher's head, figuratively and literally. While he was King, the fact he wanted Cipher to remain alive in the first place and they now only had his head was something he couldn't avoid! "What's going on with you, Cipher?"

 Plato headed towards the loft where Alistair had brought the head of cipher. He was sad that he had died but he had paid the price for attempting to stop Plato. He should have known he had no business of trying to stop him he had always been in the right and he showed it. Breech had nearly destroyed the whole city after his fall. Regardless he needed to meet with Alistair to see Cipher well at least what was left of him. He walked in seeing many of the homeless Konstain nodding to them as he wore his robes. His body was still messed up he would need to learn how to change his appearance so he'd not have to wear armor but he supposed that was the price he had to pay for the power he needed and desired. He was glad that Alistair was using his loft to take care of his people, it was a big place and even though there were still many that needed homes at least they were working to fix the destroyed homes so the Konstian can no longer be displaced. He arrived at where Alistair was with Cipher his body floating in the chamber his body full regenerated. He looked at Alistair as he walked in, the real Alistair and not his split forms he nodding to him, "Thank you Alistair I’m glad you keep his head I have a plan of course I know he is part of earth in some way, we can use him as someone to mess with earth and the Sse from the inside as they know me and you are both foes of earth." He said calmly as he passed by Alistair looking at Cipher. He could the empty void that was cipher Plato eyes looking up and down the newly forged body of Alistair. "Alistair told me he had a problem with a dark soul which may still be in his body." He said looking back at Alistair. "Make sure to keep him on some sort of life support so we have the edge in this conversation I don't know what going to happen but for all I know he could go berserk and we need to make sure that does not happen." He turned looking at Alistair, "I want to have cipher on our side he will be useful but only if he won't prove to be more of a threat, seeing as we need to gain control of him while making sure he can't well you know, spoil our plans." He put his hands behind his back looking Cipher once more his aura flaring around him a thin line of sweat under his mask. He was not sure what would happen but he still was worried. This could go bad fast and he had to be ready for that. Cipher 24 |

Cipher, what's wrong. You're scared. I can feel it.Porsalynne's body trembled as she felt the fear coming from Cipher's soul. That feeling of dread that was slowly creeping into her. Charlene could see the fear on her mother's face, and knew something was wrong. But she didn't know what. "Something terrible is happening...What have they done?"[/colo]----*^*---- It could hear voices. Voices speaking outside of the tank. Talking about something, talking about it. How rude. Didn't they know it was impolite to talk like someone wasn't there? The rejuvenation tank was silent, it's monitors not picking up any signs of life from the artificial humanoid. So nobody might have noticed when the android's eyes slowly opened. The android's eyes looked around, his head remaining still, as he took in what was going on. He recognized the two outside the tank. Alaistair, the demon, and...Plato was it? The new Konatsian King. The one speaking about using Cipher as part of his plans. He could feel the new body that had been formed for him. As if to test it, one of his hands flexed, the fingers shifting, feeling the movement. Everything seemed to be in working order. Though there was something missing. An absence he immediately noticed when he gained consciousness. Behind the oxygen mask, he smirked. "Well, isn't this interesting." he spoke quietly, loud enough for the others to hear, "Put back together by the ones that broke it..."AlaistairPlato

Plato came barging in, practically, going unnoticed by the other Alaistair duplicates downstairs because it was so busy! The Konatsian King made his way upstairs and, in a very rude manner, hurled the doors to Alaistair's room open. The duplicate of Alaistair in there observing Cipher jumped back, tripping over the comfy couch! He hit his head, grabbing it and wincing. "Gah.... Damn it, Plato," Alaistair grunted, rubbing his head as he stood upon the marble floor, "While you're King, you need to be a bit respectful to me and my establishment..."Plato didn't exactly apologise, but did thank Alaistair for using his place. The Devil sighed, patting the King's shoulder, before making his way back down to the rejuvenation jar. "It's not much concern... Now, on to the matter of this guy here," Alaistair retorted, putting his hand on top of the jar, "Any idea what's going on with him?"He was then told of a possibility with a dark spirit, before going on about having Cipher as a means of an ally, suggesting he get put into a life support system... Which Cipher's head was already in. The Devil didn't focus on that part though! Instead, he replied, pointing at him, "Well, if he's got some sort of dark spirit, then we need to-"Cipher's head spoke up, interrupting the Devil! Alaistair huffed, blinking while still staring at Plato for a silent moment. He had this expression that looked defeat. He sighed and took a seat on the couch to be in visual sight of Cipher's head. He spoke sarcastically, "Of course we rebuilt you! You don't have any problems at all, so we decided to set you up with a new body! Granted, it's a bit flat, stands on four legs, and it's meant to put items on top of... But you know, I like this look a little better!""This room's full of artifacts we can use to get whatever this is outta his head. However, we need to find out if Cipher's in there," he messaged Plato's head in the telepathic manner, "I want to try and bait him out a bit, if possible. Help me out with that?"( Plato) |

The king's meet Alistair as he nodded, "Right didn't mean for it to be rude I apologize Alistair." He said turning looking over cipher as he floated. He still had to admit when he was defeated he felt pity and sadness. Such a good man didn't need to die and it being cipher made it worse. The man had given him a second lease on life which was wasted seeing as walker took it away. He looked at Alistair as he spoke , "Yes we don't have to worry." His hand moved Ki rushing around his hand as he pulled out a book opening it up and holding it with one hand looking right at cipher as he spoke turning his head looking at Cipher or at least who should be cipher. His mask hid his expression but he could not help but smirk. His hand twisted as he pointed lightly at Cipher. "Greetings enjoy your return to the world of the living." He strides so he was right in front of the tank his eyes lighting up the white iris's getting a feel of this new Cipher. He had not said much but he did see to him somewhat different from Cipher. He could not tell how much but he knew he had to be sure. Cipher could be playing with them to make an escape after all they were the reason he was nearly turned to bits. He telepathically spoke to Alistair, "I think I got some of the tricks that will lure who we want out." He said turning to the Android. "Assuming you know we defeated you I’d like to gauge how bad you want to kill us and if you have any form interest of helping us." He said pressing a hand against the glass though quite lightly. He wanted to see how’d he response if cipher was their he had a feeling how he’d response. Cipher 24 |

The head in the jar looked back and forth between the demon and the Konatsian as they spoke. As the demon gave a sarcastic response to his words and the Konatsian gave a false greeting. However, that wasn't what he was interested in. He was interested in the words they didn't say. "This room's full of artifacts we can use to get whatever this is outta his head. However, we need to find out if Cipher's in there. I want to try and bait him out a bit, if possible. Help me out with that?""I think I got some of the tricks that will lure who we want out."He kept quiet about the fact that he could pick up on their telepathic communication. That was something Cipher never had and he doubted they were expecting it. Still, they seemed to realize that he wasn't who they were looking for, and wanted to bring the real Cipher out. Such a shame, because the protective android wasn't in here. Then Plato approached, saying something about gauging how badly he wanted to kill them, before placing his hand against the glass. The head simply stared at the hand with a flat look, then back at Plato, then back at the hand again. "I'm a head in a jar, wearing an oxygen mask. What the heck do you expect me to do? Headbutt your palm? All you're doing is smudging the glass." He cast Alaistair a look that said 'you picked a real winner here'. "So tell me. What's this thing you need help with?"AlaistairPlato |

Something wasn't right about this guy... And also Plato. The Devil saw the look the head was giving him, only rolling his eyes after responding to Plato's comment, in a manner suggesting, 'Yeah, I get it.' "Help you out with," Alaistair questioned aloud, "What do you mean?"Alaistair sat straight, balancing himself on his right elbow and knee, and placing his left on his thigh in an inquisitive look. The Devil had mastery of telepathy, able to speak with the dead from the living realm... And this guy gave a question coincidentally involving helping them with something? "Plato, keep your thoughts to yourself for a moment... This guy's got something very odd about itself," Alaistair alarmed Plato telepathically, looking at this android head in an investigative manner. He was expecting Plato to respond against his warning, to confirm this thought, but didn't want to have Plato in on this loop. ( Plato) |

He studied Cipher response rubbing his chin nodding, "Yes that true you can't harm us well at least now though that was the answer I have to admit I was hoping for." He moved his hand away from the glass. Plato had the feeling if Cipher had been around he'd not be in the mood to deal with Alistair who was their when he died and no doubt had some part to play. He looked back at Alistair speaking, "Well Cipher is not here we can talk now." He turned towards the head floating in the jar looking over him, "You know where cipher is we still need him for our plans but you are of use to us. You know of the factions of earth I suppose." He said rubbing his hands looking at head turning his head slightly. It could be a risk but at the same time he knew if he wanted too he could rid of this abomination that infested the newly crafted body of cipher. If it didn't work and they got rid of him well they could just have given cipher the body as an act of peace. He wanted no war with earth but he also wanted them to not get in his way. He was going to have his revenge no matter what. He refused to let the crimes committed to his people blowing under the desert winds he was going to have it. He was going to pay them all back for what happened on konats. "I don't know what type of spirit you are but I’m curious what do you want, what do you want truly spirit."

The head tried not to roll his eyes at Alaistair's question. "Your friend there mentioned any interest in me helping you, meaning that there's something you want out of me to preserve my head like this. And since you haven't bothered to rebuild the body yet, implies that this might be something that Cipher would refuse to do, so you try to keep an edge for yourself." He would have been impressed by Alaistair's suspicions about his mind reading ability, if it wasn't born from the fact that he simply hadn't been paying attention. He turned his attention back to Plato as he began talking, speaking about how they needed Cipher for their plans. "You're right. I do know where Cipher currently is. And he's not here. I have this little head all to myself. And in the end, that might be best for you. You need someone with Cipher's knowledge, correct? Well, thankfully for you, everything he knows, I know. The perks of sharing someone's head with someone."Then Plato asked what he wanted. "What I want? Why, I simply want what's mine. What belonged to me, before those ignorant slaves took everything from me." A low growl finished that sentence. "But that's not important right now. What is it that you want?"AlaistairPlato |

"... No."Alaistair's thoughts simplified to that word. The reason: Plato was offering this thing the position Cipher was supposed to take! The Devil's eyes flared up, looking at the King as he stood up. The thing was avoiding the question, somewhat, sounding very much like the type of Demon you do not fiddle with! "Give us a moment," Alaistair stated, demandingly, as he patted Plato's shoulder to the far end of the penthouse out of earshot, "We need to chit chat a bit."The Devil walked over to the area of the room, located near the large bed Alaistair sleeps in when he gets the chance. He needed to have a word with the King, seeing how he'd given a very foolish offer just now! ( Plato your go!)

Plato stared the spirit down as he nodded, "I am aware that cipher is not all and well with me. I know he is a standup guy but if you know everything that he knows your info will be key in my plans." He said rubbing his hands as he looked at the head with some excitement he softly smiling. Alistair said something as Alistair hand grabbed onto his shoulder he looked back lightly. "If it so urgent I’ll get to it in a bit but this is quite more important." He said before using his beast to telepathically ask Alistair what he wanted. If he made two telepathic links it would be harder hopefully for him to get the info he wanted. "You can call me Savitr I am the Beast of Plato projecting my voice into your head. It’s nice to say hi to you again regardless, Plato has told me to tell you that he knows what he is doing and he wants to do it his way." He said as they could see Devil walking off. If he wanted to leave without Plato that was fine but Plato was not going to move. He knows what he wanted to do. He nodded his head looking at Cipher, "Yes I want many things seems you were perhaps a powerful man in your time and seeing as you took some control of Cipher that is why I offer such a chance for you to gain back what is yours by all the rights of man."
He raised his arms looking down at the head. "What I want well their a lot of things I want but I want from you is information. I have some foes but the main foe is the queen of the saiyan race. She lead the SSE at the time my people were attacked and lead to the all the death that befell them and I am livid." He said lifting his mask to give a good look at his face. Twisted and conformed with a look of pure rage his eyes strictly focused on the head as he looked right at him before his face turned to a calm look. "What I want is information seeing as tekuma is Cipher step daughter I’m assuming you from earth and with your power's you should know about a many of thing of earth. Perhaps you know those in power around there but what I want? I want to know the weakness of earth I want to know how to defeat them if we came to a clash of blows. Tell me Spirit and I shall grant you back what you lost."

It seemed that whatever Plato had planned, Alaistair was now against it, if his demanding to speak to Plato was any indication. Thankfully for the head, the king didn't seem ready to break off from his conversation, a second voice in his head telepathically replying to Alaistair. He knew from Cipher's knowledge that Plato had a second entity inside of him, but learning it was intelligent was an interesting development. Then Plato made his demands. He wanted information. Information about the SSE, any weaknesses, and anything of the sort. So new on the throne and already wanting to take over an entire empire. The head kept itself from chuckling. This damn idiot was going to get himself killed at this rate, but he kept that to himself. Let the foolish king run himself into the ground. If he gave him back a body he could use for his own ends, he'll humour him. "Unfortunately for you, Earth is a bit more than you can handle. While the BBA are the most powerful faction on the planet, there are plenty outside of its services that would oppose you if you tried to fight them. The SSE found that out the hard way when they tried to invade Earth. And unfortunately, that would make fighting the SSE difficult as well. Vipoi and Zucceta are so close together you'd swear they were bedfellows." The head eyed the konatsian king with a coy look, "So, your best bet right now, is to sever that relationship between them. As you may have guessed, a Namekian warlord has his eye on the SSE, and that threat's bringing Earth and the SSE together. But if you can sour their relationship and get Earth to back off, then they have to face the Mazoku Dominion, AND you guys alone. A much more appetizing target.
And to do that, you'll need someone on the inside. Or, lacking that, someone who can look and act like someone on the inside." It didn't take a genius to know what the head was insinuating. AlaistairPlato |

Plato wasn't making much sense to the tired Devil, but the monster in Plato, naming itself Savitr, told him that Plato had a plan. Alaistair didn't vocalise it physically, instead, telepathically, "You don't know the enemies there, and if anything, we can find out the weaknesses from... I'm getting a drink sent up."Alaistair didn't offer Plato that, having one of his other selves prepare himself a Long-Island Iced tea. He needed something strong, especially how Plato was talking. He wanted information on how to sever ties between the SSE and Earth, so they could divide and conquer! The dark spirit, meanwhile, proceeded to explain to Plato just how to do that... Which was something Alaistair already thought of, but everyone kept insisting he was some sort of imbecile! "That's not what you should be focusing on, Plato," Alaistair thought to himself, going to the door and getting the drink from his other self, with a white and blue metal straw bent to they didn't have to tilt the tall glass. He started sipping away, making his way to the couch and kicking a foot up upon his knee, letting Plato handle the talking for a bit before he snapped at him. ( Plato.

Plato eyed Cipher as he spoke saying earth was too much to handle he shaking his head as one eye peered at the head, "I know right now but as I said I want to know the weakness so I can break them." He Looked back at Alistair he seemed to back off of taking him off he was going get what he needed done. So far however this head had not provided all that much for him to actually use. Though knowing the name of earth's leader was good to know. This Vi-poi he had never heard of him but walker didn't try and overthrow him it made him assume he was at least strong enough to fight someone of his strength. That was indeed scary fighting a foe that could surpass what he thought to himself was the closest thing to a god. He walked about a namakians warlord going to fight them talking about how he could split their strength make their relationship sour. His face turned to Alistair as he spoke, "Alistair you have a scouter you think you can find the real cipher." He turned as he raised his arm looking at this fake. "Now what you said to me was everything I wanted to here yet at the same time nothing to tug on no leads to start breaking apart the relationship between earth and Vegeta. I don't need to know what to do I need to know how to do." He raised his arms a purple blow rushing around his right arm. "I didn't tell Cipher or you this of course I didn't talk about this with anyone but I’ve purged many of a spirits far more scary then you are. I'll be the first to admit for you to have the ability to even control a single shred of Cipher's body is impressive and having his knowledge is good if you actually told me anything that was useful. I knew all this stuff that you just told me before you told so I’ll make this simple. I want to know everything cipher knows about the leadership their leader their strength and weakness so I can use them to defeat and if you’re not willing to provide." He rose his arms the purple rushing off his arm as purple tethers that phased through the glass to attach to the head. "I'll be forced to rip you out of your host and find something of actually use I am in the mood for the chit chat I want what I want and I want it fast." He pulled attempting to pull part of the soul out of the head though only a little bit just to prove he could at any time remove him. With his skills in magic with kashvarr knowledge on his mind and being posed by a kashvarr once he had a good idea it was possible to remove this creature if he desired not that it'd be easy but he knew he could if given the chance. The question is would the spirit flee before he could remove him or try and delve to places he dared not reach. Cipher 24 |
