West Capitol. One of, if not the, largest city on Earth. In the distance, the city shone. Pistachioto's home city. She had lived there all her life, all except for a year. It was where her parents had died. The girl readied herself, taking a deep breath and looking at the city. She could make it. She knew she could. Pistachioto reached into her pocket, grasping her senzu bean and moving it between her fingers, feeling the crevasses on the bean. Now that her grandfather had died, it was all she had to remember him by. Her scarf fluttered in the wind as she set the senzu bean back into her pocket, walking slowly towards West Capitol.
In the bustling city, Pistachioto looked around, in wonder. She had remembered it being large, but not this grand. Bright colours flashed on signs, hundreds, maybe thousands of people strolled through the streets, some even with tails, and some with red skin. The small child opened her mouth in awe as she looked around, looking for something to do. Her grandfather had told her to help people, to make the world a better place, and that's what she was trying to do. But unfortunately, it was hard to see anyone that needed help in the bustling crowd. Struggling to make her way through, Pistachioto decided to do things a more simple way. She created a large pillar of ki which rose from the ground under her, shooting her up into the air before dissipating into the air, and she then began to fall to the ground. Fast. Quickly, she held up her arms, her hands in fists, as though she was grasping something. Bars appeared, which she held onto, said bars being attached to a pole leading to a sky scraper. Perhaps it wasn't the most conventional way to stay afloat-after all, she was still a child-but it kept her from falling. Keeping a tight grip on the bars, she began to extend them, the connecting poles linking them to the first one becoming rapidly longer. A few metres above the ground, she stopped, and dropped down, reabsorbing the ki from the bars and forming it into a ball in her hands, which she placed below her feet and sat on, causing her to bounce upon hitting the ground. She giggled, and bounced up. Then she did it again. Pistachioto created handles on the front of the ball, and began moving it around the city, bouncing around. She certainly wouldn't need to worry about crowds anymore!

(Thread PL: 2,000)
Om had been wandering The Western Frontiers for some time now. Ever since he landed on Earth he had been turning in small groups of bandits to the authorities. But there was this one recurring bandit group that has escaped his grasp. Om has been tracking them for some time now, and has now ended up in West Capitol in search of them. He's been in a large city before, Ocariin City on Planet Konats. But.. He's never been in a place like this. So many people, too many people. He was starting to get nervous, almost to the point where he just wanted to leave and give up on chasing the criminals. But he knew he couldn't. If he did more people could get hurt. So he pressed on through the bustling streets of West Capitol. As he looked around he noticed something, He stuck out like a sore thumb. He was much taller than all of the people in the streets, he had large pointy ears, and he was always as pale as a ghost! If the bandits were here they'd see him from a mile away! "I'm gonna need to take to the rooftops if I don't want to get spotted.." Om accidentally said out loud. People were starting to give him looks, so he just decided to fly up onto a nearby roof really fast. His flight had caused a small commotion with the people around him, but they carried on with their business a few seconds later.
Om had been watching a few alleyways from a rooftop for a few now. "Don't bad guys usually meet in alleyways or something? I'm starting to get tired.." Om said to himself. "Hey you! Get down from there!" Shouted the owner of the bar that Om was standing on top of. Om got scared and flew to another rooftop. "Wow, it is really hard to help people when there's no criminals around that need to be stopped." Om again muttered to himself. It was just then that he heard someone yell. He looked over the edge and saw that there was a group of men beating up some helpless citizen. And, they just so happened to be wearing the Bandit Gang's insignia on their clothes. "This looks like a job for O- uh.. Super Om?" It was pretty easy to see that he was having difficulty with coming up with a cool superhero name. Om flew down and shouted "Hey you let that man go!" The rather portly man who seemed to be in charge of the small group of about four men turned to Om. "Oh yeah? And you're gonna stop all four of us?" Om looked at all four of the men, each of them had a switchblade. "Seems pretty easy." Om then pulled out his sword, the man they were beating up ran away, and a large group had encircled the gang and Om.
This was gonna be fun.

Still bouncing, Pistachioto looked around, searching yet again for someone to help, when suddenly something caught her eye. A tall, lanky man with pale skin, clearly about to attack another group of people. Pistachioto glared, and stuck a spring out of the bottom of her ball, bouncing nearly fifteen metres into the air. She soared through the air, going closer and closer to the men whilst descending rapidly. Thinking quickly, she stuck the ball of ki on her back, turning it into a parachute, which glowed orange with her ki. The girl continued free falling for several seconds, and began to panic. Had she done something wrong? Did she mess it up? Suddenly, the wind caught it, and she floated down, landing next to the tall man and the gang. Grabbing the parachute off of her back, she turned it into a ball of ki, glaring at the two groups. She threw the ball between the two groups, and it exploded into a wall of ki, which then expanded outwards and formed two boxes, surrounding the two different groups.
"Stop fighting!" she yelled, rising up with a pedestal she formed below her. "All fighting does is hurt people!" she screamed. And she did truly believe it. To her, fighting did nothing beneficial. If you could teach people the error of their ways, it was far superior than simply resorting to violence.

"Hey kid! Let us go if you don't want to end up like that last bloke!" Om looked over to who he was pointing at and he saw the man they were beating up, he had a black eye, scratches and bruises, and a large and deep cut on his chest. It looked like he was losing a lot of blood. This was turning bad fast. If Om could just get out of the box he could save that man. "Child I beg of you, please let me out. I agree with you, there are alternatives to violence. But with scoundrels like these.. There is no other way." Om hoped that this kid would listen to him. But he had a growing feeling that she wouldn't. He then looked over to the injured man who had finally made his way to the crowd. The Man spoke "H-Help..." He then collapsed, blood pooling around him. The crowd screamed, some ran, others called the police, frantically shouting into their phones. "Well.. This isn't going to end well is it?" said the leader of the Gang. Om knew that he would be incarcerated with them. Wouldn't be the first time he'd been arrested, but Om didn't know how different Earth prison would be from the prisons on Planet Konats. He also wasn't very fond of the food in prisons. "Kid! You've got to let me free! I just wanted to help people!" In desperation he swung his sword at the Ki box.

Pistachioto thought for a moment, her face focused, in deep contemplation. Both had been fighting, for sure. But one had threatened her, and apparently had killed another man, whereas the other had merely begged, even saying he was trying to help. Pistachioto was aware of people like him. An all too common sight: someone who thinks that to help stop violence, they must cause more. The small girl sighed, beginning to speak, regaining her composure,
"Listen! I'll let you out, but you're coming with me!" she said loudly. By that point, a small crowd of people had gathered, flocking to see the apparently magical walls created by the small girl. Waving her hand, Pistachioto turned the energy from the tall man's barriers into a bubble around him, before turning the walls around the other man into shackles, chaining him to the ground. The shackles would only hold for a few minutes, but that would hopefully be enough for the police to arrive. And, exactly as Pistachioto expected, she heard a siren, rapidly getting louder. She pushed the bubble containing the tall man forward with a blast of ki, and began running alongside it, racing down an alleyway that was steadily getting darker, the walls of the surrounding buildings seeming to get smaller and smaller, and the sirens of the police cars getting louder and louder. Thinking fast, Pistachioto caught the bubble containing the tall man, looking around for some way to escape. She saw a manhole cover, and dissipated the bubble into nothing, the ki within steadily pushing back within her. She threw up the cover, and gestured for the lanky man to follow as she jumped into the dark abyss.

Om had not expected her to listen. Although he was happy that he wasn't going to get arrested, he wasn't very happy about getting thrown around in a ball. Through a dark and creepy alleyway. In the middle of the night. "Ow. Ow. Ow!" Om yelled as he bounced through the alleyway at blistering speeds, hitting the side of buildings.
When he was finally released he looked back at the scene. The Police had arrived and were taking the thugs away. He'd have to let them deal with them this time. "Damn it, how am I gonna find their hideout now.." Om muttered to himself. He could go back. But that could end with him getting arrested. When the kid had gestured to him, he took one look back. Then he jumped down the manhole into the dark abyss of the sewer. Immediately Om smelled the noxious odors of the sewers. It reminded him of a place he stayed at on Konats. "Why'd we go down into the sewers! Jeez it smells down here." He closed the manhole and hit his head on the slimy ceiling of the Sewer. "Ow!" Om then remembered that he was rather tall and crouched down. Om tried to look around but it was darker than the Alleyway they were just in. Om fired off a ki blast in one direction and was able to faintly see a few feet ahead for a seconds. There wasn't anything very notable, just more sewer.
This wasn't as fun as beating up criminals. Definitely not as fun as beating up criminals.

Pistachioto turned around, giving the lanky man a look of slight bewilderment.
"I saved you from being arrested!" she exclaimed. "Don't complain about the smell!" The child then took a deep breath of the air... and her eyes grew wide. The man was right: it did stink. However, she refused to admit it, swallowing down a small amount of vomit that had surfaced to her mouth, her face turned to that of disgust. "What was going on up there?" she asked, beginning to interrogate the man. "I saw those guys being mean to that other guy. They were probably trying to get his money. But why did you step in? Are you trying to be a super hero or something?" As she spoke, Pistachioto looked around, trying to see in the dark. Remembering what the man had done with the ki blast, she did a similar action, forming a glowing yellow ki ball that she threw next to her shoulders, and floated around her head, lighting up the area as she walked. The child grinned at the tall man, unable to resist showing off her apparent ingenuity. "Who are you, anyway?" she inquired, her mind again racing, curious as ever to learn about this stranger. Finally, after several minutes of walking, her disgust at the smell overcame her curiosity, and she looked around, searching for a way out. "You know, this is a lot of work you're putting me through!" Pistachioto said, partially as a joke. "After this is over, you better get me ice cream or something!"

Om was surprised with all the questions. He was expecting questions, but not this many.
“Well first of all, I thank you for saving me.” He looked around the sewers trying to find words to answer the child’s questions. “Why did she pick the sewers to hide in?” Om had realized that as he was asking himself this question he was standing there absolutely silent. Om then quickly said, “Oh! Sorry, I was just thinking to myself. Well those guys back there are part of this group of bandits. I’ve been tracking them for awhile. They had taken someone and something away from me that I need. So I guess it’s more of a personal reason than just being a Superhero.”
Om fired off a ki blast continuously, trying to find an exit. He was so focused on finding a way out that he wasn’t listening. He spoke up. “Well uh.. My name’s Om, I’m a Konatsian!” He continued walking through the sewer with the kid. When she said he owed her a Ice Cream he got nervous. “Haha.. Uh, sure kid.” He probably shouldn’t be lying to the kid but he had made quite a mess. “I’ll figure out something..” Om thought to himself. “So.. What are you doing in West Capitol?” Om thought it was time for her to answer some questions too. “And who are you?” Right after the question was asked, the smell overcame him. He vomited, “Oh dear god the smell! It’s so disgusting! We need to find an exit quick..”
This was the worst experience of Om’s life.

"So you aren't just trying to help people, like a superhero? Earlier you said that's what you wanted to do!" Pistachioto blurted out after the tall man described himself as not being like a superhero. She couldn't help but notice the hypocrisy. It just didn't make sense! Why would the man say he just wanted to help people, then say it was personal? Then it dawned on Pistachioto. "You just said that so I'd let you out, didn't you!" she accused him. As much as she did hope for, and ultimately believe in, the best in people, far too many were, for the most part, selfish. And so it worked out best, most of the time, for Pistachioto to act as though they were mostly bad, and if necessary try to dissuade them from that path. Still a bit grumpy from that assumption, the small child listened to the tall man's introduction. His name was Om, and he was... something. "Wait," Pistachioto said, "You... can not see Ann? You're a... Koon... ot-sean? What?" Pistachioto was still a novice explorer of the world, but she had been travelling for a little over a week, and within that time, with ki-empowered abilities, you could get pretty far, and her grandfather had taught her as much as he could about the world. And yet, in all of that, she had never heard the strange term the man... Om, had called himself. "Me?" the little girl asked when Om inquired about her being in West Capitol. "I... I live here! Or... well, I used to. I left for a little bit because some stuff happened but, um... I think I'm going to maybe try and find a place to stay, here, at least, when I'm around here." As she spoke, the girl was still looking around, searching for an easy way out. "As for who I am, well, I'm..." Her eyes widened as she turned around, seeing the "koon at see nan" vomiting, horribly. "Whoa, whoa!" Pistachioto cried, and rushed over to Om. "Alright, so then, we need to get out..." she muttered to herself. Quickly, she looked up, and could barely make out another entrance to the sewers just above. Quickly, she formed a golden staircase out of her ki, and walked up said staircase to the entrance, peeking out. Luckily, it was just behind a dumpster, and no one was around. Pistachioto gestured for the man to follow as she threw open the hole and hopped out, into the much brighter surface.

Uh oh. That wasn’t good, Om had slipped up. “Well uh, I’m stopping these criminals at the same time! I’m helping people, while helping myself!” Om just wanted to get out of this sewer, he didn’t want to be walking around in a disgusting sewer while arguing with a child. This was absolutely horrible.
He pretty much had it after the horrible mispronunciation of his race. “It’s Konatsian! Konatsian! I’m an alien! I’m a different species than you!” He realized he probably shouldn’t be yelling at a kid who can just trap him in a box and leave him down here. After the child explained why they were in West Capitol, he related to the kid a bit more. Just someone trying to find a place to live. Just like him. The girl had never said her name, but Om was fine with that.
After the kid made the little staircase out of the manhole, Om said “That’s really cool, you’re gonna need to show me how to do that!” As he stepped out of the gross sewer and back into the city he felt a wave of relief. He was finally out of the disgusting sewer! He looked at his surroundings, he was in another small dark alleyway.
The alleyway smelled pretty bad, but not as bad as the sewer. He started to walk out of the alleyway, but then he realized. He had just been involved with criminals, and was probably being searched for. Wouldn’t be the first time police had been after him, but this time he had tried to do something good! “Am I just doomed to be a bad person?” Om asked himself. He also realized that he left the kid. He quickly ran back over. “I think it’s safe. Come on.” He motioned for her to come up.
Today just wasn’t Om’s day.

Pistachioto shrugged, making an expression that indicated she was evaluating his response. It made sense, she supposed. And if he was helping people, what did it matter that it was for a selfish reason? The end result was the same: people were helped. Of course, she disagreed with his methods, of resorting to violence, but it was with good intentions.
"Well then," Pistachioto said after Om had declared, rather rudely, that he was an alien. "That would explain the pointy ears, wouldn't it?" She was slightly taken aback by his rude proclamation. The pacifist couldn't stand rude people, and that was a category she would, as of yet, certainly put this man into. "Um, okay," she replied to his statement that she would need to show him the technique behind her ki manifestation. No one had actually asked, yet, in all of her travels, how she did it. The fact that not many had actually seen her use the ability didn't cross her mind. She quickly hopped out of the sewer, just after Om had, and stretched out her arms, looking around. Back in an alleyway. But this time, no police officers trying to hunt down your new companion, and no gang member trying to beat up another man, so it seemed, to Pistachioto, that things were changing for the better.

Om was tired, covered in sewer gunk, and a little angry. But at least he wasn’t in a jail cell. That’s what he kept telling himself. Om was poking his head around the alleyway to make sure there weren’t any police around. There wasn’t, so he chuckled a little and said, “Well that was certainly interesting.” He walked out of the alleyway and motioned for the kid to follow. The bright lights of the city were a sharp contrast from the dark sewers. The bright lights reminded him a lot of Ocariin City. Om recalled the short time living there, and felt a little sad. He shrugged off the sadness and started walking across the street that was a few feet away from the alleyway. He again motioned for the kid to follow him. “You said you wanted an Ice Cream right?” Om was trying to think of places he would get Ice Cream at. He could probably see better if he got on one of the roofs. “Just need to get the kid an Ice Cream and I can get back to work.” He flew up onto one of the nearby buildings and surveyed the city. Nearby was a small park with a playground, and it had a Ice Cream Truck right next to it! “Hey kid there’s a park nearby with an Ice Cream Store. We can head over there if you want.” Om started to fly towards there, expecting the kid to be close behind.
