It was incredible. These two had gone far beyond anything he had expected in power. Their energy literally boomed in his ears and flashed in his eyes, to the point where he could barely handle it all himself. Alaistair had the edge at first, though Xylo managed to find a power that nearly knocked Kizuki clear back against the wall again. His teeth clenched together tightly, rage filling his body again as Xylo spoke of how badly he was going to beat Alaistair. Just as Alaistair had previously told him to observe how he would handle Xylo just previously. They were MOCKING him. At least that was how Kizuki saw it. His breathing was quite heavy, that rage fueled heart beating faster, pumping blood into his veins as such a rate that a few protruded out of his body once again.
His arms were at his side, bent at the elbow. Both hands were barely made into fists, fingers curling into his palms as if grasping something in either. Eventually, energy would crackle to life within both palms, focusing his ki into them as orbs of blue energy began to form. He could barely keep himself together. He had no idea who he was going to attack. Maybe both of them at the same time. As Alaistair landed by him, he heard him mumble "Silence".. though Kizuki didn't say a word. He had no time to think of how odd another of Alaistair's mannerisms were. He didn't care. The only thing in his heart right now was rage. The rage of being cast aside as if he were nothing.
Still, he continued to charge his [N1] Destruction Cannon, pumping as much of his ki energy into it as possible.

A wicked grin appeared on the Namekian's face as he felt his elbow connect with Alaistair's gut. The knee that followed was no less satisfying. The Demon was sent flying across the room, slamming into the wall on the opposite side of the dome-like structure. Xylo chuckled as his ally spat blood. He began to speak, but his tone was caked in cockiness. "I expected more from a true demon! I am but a Mazoku Warrior, yet I can toss you around like a mere ragdoll! You've got more in that pitiful body of yours don't you? Show me all you've got and more, or we'll never take this planet as our own!" Though his words seemed filled with hatred, this was simply Xylo's way of motivating his allies. It seemed his words already began working their magic, as Kizuki had begun charging his energy. Despite being unable to handle the gravity, the Saiyan pushed his limits due to his anger; and anger was an excellent motivator. He turned to Kizuki, and smirked. "Well done Kizuki! Your rage is helping you overcome your weakness! Harness that rage! Make it bend to your will, and you will become stronger than you've ever known!" Teachings like these were part of the Mazoku Caste. While the Dragon and Warrior Castes believed in peace and harmony, Mazoku thought it fitting to tap into the taboo of their people. The Namekian turned back to Alaistair, who had coughed up a bit more blood a moment ago. It seemed the demon was still dizzied from that earlier blow. His violent nature told him he should take this chance and pummel his foe; but his warriors spirit believed in fairness. Alaistair had given him ample time to unlock this new power, so it was only fair the Xylo hold out the same courtesy to his compatriot. "Your power is sleeping just beneath the surface, Alaistair. All you need to do is grab that power by the throat and throttle it until it's got no choice but to obey your will! The power doesn't control you, you control it!" Xylo's indigo aura burned to life. He pointed a finger at Alaistair, threatening him as he continued. "Show me the power of a timeless demon lord! If you don't, you might as well get your sorry ass off this planet right now and let me conquer it all by myself!"

Xylo proceeded to openly mock Alaistair for the sheer power difference, but it was to coax Alaistair into trying to break forth into a realm of strength he'd not been in a while since the years of his youth! The clown released its 'grip' from Alaistair face, as it noted, "Even the green boy's saying it!"
"I will agree to that... I will indeed agree to that,"[/u][/font] Alaistair replied to the clown in his thoughts. This jester developed a gleefully inquisitive look, as it soon adopted a phantasmal form as it circled the room. Alaistair straightened himself out, as he landed to the side of the angered Kizuki, who shoved his energy from his core to his hands. This was not what Alaistair had in mind for Kizuki.
He put his hand on his comrade's shoulder and told him, in a painfully calm tone as he wiped his lips with his thumb of the blood and spit, "Kizuki. Open all of your senses. When I said observe this battle, I meant for you to do that. If you can manage to open your senses to everything about you, you'll be able to progress further... As for you, Xylo! I shall indeed show you what I can do, but in my own terms!"
"What?!"
The jester was not amused by this response, as his form quickly sped in front of Alaistair! Alaistair wasn't so much as directing the statement at Xylo, but rather... He was telling the demon he would not fall to that power that turned him into what he was! Alaistair smirked, as he explained, "There are two things I need to remind you, Xylo. For one, the term to describe me is not 'Demon' but 'Devil'! As for the second, there is something that I will be needing to do during our spar. During it, I will contest my strength with your current level of power... Actually, make that three terms! The last is that there is no such thing as timeless, even in the realm of gods!"
He shifted away from Kizuki and readied himself again, flicking the lengthy tail as he rose his fists up. From what he could tell with Xylo's fighting style, he liked to get in close to deal damage with his knees. He'd have to keep this in mind as he-
"What in the nine hells do you mean, you're going to do this on your own terms, you facetious twit?!"
Alaistair looked at the image of the clown clawing towards him in frustration, a frown formed on his face. His fingers were curled tightly inwards, with hands in front of him and Alaistair to ask why. Alaistair looked away, back at Xylo as the clown responded, "Don't you ignore me! You and I know both fully well that you can't use your power because of those shards in you! What do you think you're trying to pull?!"
"I'll be forging my own path here... Without my past weighing me down, as well as what entities have done to this form... Now come at me, Xylo!"

It seemed his own mind had been clouded, perhaps by all the dark powers filling the gravity chamber. He usually was calm, more than most of his species, though something deep within his gut began to stir when these two told him simply to observe. As Alaistair had put his hand on his shoulder, trying his best to calm him, the more anger dipped words of Xylo began to dissipate in his mind. Xylo had encouraged Kizuki to muster up all his strength into an attack, Alaistair would rather Kizuki work on opening up his senses.
His senses.
It had been so long for Kizuki, all his previous power had left his body. He had to remember, in this time and within his old body, he was no longer a titan of power like his two comrades. He looked down at his palms, the ki energy vanishing within them as his body loosened up. Beads of sweat formed on his brow, wiped down with the back of his hand as he gave Alaistair a quick nod. Alaistair was right, he had to open up his senses, use them to follow this battle rather than just his eyes. It had indeed been too long since he needed to sharpen up on his skills.
"I'm not a child. Just remember that. My flesh and bones are of an age many years before this one." Was the only answer he gave Alaistair, before letting the self proclaimed "Devil" turn his attention back towards Xylo. It seemed the two truly had some things to work out, and Kizuki would just be in the way. With that, he took a step further back, nearly against the wall of the chamber. He'd take in deep breaths, loosening up his body and opening up his mind and body to his surroundings. It did not take long for him to remember, to tap into his own energy within his mind, to be able to keep up with their battle without using just his eyes.

Xylo frowned. It seemed Alaistair had a different way of improving your skill. While rage was Xylo's preferred way, the demonic deal-maker seemed to think slightly differently, which intrigued the young Mazoku Warrior. His frown changed to a smirk as he watched Alaistair attempt to calm Kizuki, which surprisingly worked. Alaistair then turned to Xylo, explaining a few things to the Namekian. He chuckled, responding in a cocky tone of voice. "Very well, 'Devil'. Let me see what kind of power you can use without giving in to whatever it is that you're afraid of."The Mazoku Warrior settled into his battle stance once more, waiting patiently for Alaistair to make the first move. "You get the first move, Alaistair."

"Good..."
Alaistair charged forth, his senses reassured of the young saiyan finally focusing in. His fists balled up, as he spurred towards Xylo! He sent a quick couple of jabs at his face and torso! As he did this, he relayed to Xylo telepathically, "Xylo, there's something I'll be needing your assistance with... Technically, amongst those I once was, I had been nothing but a child. Amongst the demons and devils, I am at a middle ground. However, I'm intending to mend my past and present selves into a new form of myself, using Halo fragments that are dampening the demonic essence in me into a form that I can appreciate and use. I know your kin has some sort of means of splitting and uniting themselves, but I need to know how exactly that is done and use it to gain a new power."

As his body calmed, the previously felt rage subsiding, Kizuki found himself able to concentrate on the battle at hand a bit better. His thoughts were less clouded than before, able to use not just his eyes to see Alaistair's incoming attack on Xylo, but in a sense he could use his entire body. His entire being. Though something within his gut could not be shaken, something he had felt that bit into him harshly. It wasn't his pride being hit, no. Unknown to him, the negative energy that filled the room filled him. As there is light, there is also darkness. Both able to alter the things around them if they allowed it. Though this feeling was unknown to him, the Saiyajin did his best to shake it off and rather keep his attention focused on the battle at hand, something that Alaistair made a point of wanting Kizuki to do. Powerful arms came up to cross over his chest in that classic pose, brows furrowed just a bit more than before as coal, black eyes focused, as well as his entire body. Literally feeling their ki and energy bounce off the walls of the room and each other as the two set out to prove a point of flexing their energy to their absolute limits.

Xylo awaited his allies next attack, but it seemed he would not have to wait very long. The devil shot forwards at high speeds, sending a barrage of attacks towards the Namekian Warrior! Due to the difference in power, however, Xylo was able to easily avoid each strike. The duo of warriors danced around the room; Alaistair throwing punches, while Xylo avoided each one. The Mazoku Caste Master chuckled, but stopped once he heard his sparring partner's voice intrude in his mind. Apparently, Alaistair wanted to learn how to use fission! Xylo couldn't say he was surprised; despite the technique being secret and forbidden, Alaistair was more than a few centuries old. He had more than enough time to at least here of the technique. Xylo replied telepathically, attempting to explain the technique as best he could. "You want to learn to use fission to expel the... Whatever it is inside of you? Heh, alright Devil-Boy, lemme explain how it works then..." The Namekian thought back to nearly a decade ago. He was alone on a Namekian Spaceship. His body was drenched in sweat as he focused his energy. He was trying to expel the good half of him, though it was proving to be quite difficult. His body strained as his Ki fluctuated. Light and dark convulsed in agony deep within Xylo's being.
A blinding flash of light covered the entire spaceship...""...You'll need to focus your entire life force; everything you can possibly muster on what you want to expel. Be it light or dark, you'll need absolute focus on it. Once you've focused on this part of you, focus on your want to remove it. The process might take a while depending on how much mental blockage you have, but I presume you're a strong-willed individual, so it shouldn't take too much time."As the Namekian finished his explanation, he hopped into the sky. If Alaistair followed him, he would toss out a barrage of Ki Blasts; if Alaistair did not, he'd simply wait for the Devil to attack again.

(Screw it, won't edit the last post. Gonna make it this next one!)
Xylo proceeded to only dodge the attacks coming at him instead, to think more so than counter strike against Alaistair. He shot into the air, relaying the lesson on fission. Alaistair, though, had to elaborate on the plan in mind, "Not fission, Xylo... I'm aiming to fuse my essence with the two others! What I need to know is how your kin have done it... To become one being and maintain my own being!"
As he relayed this, Alaistair flew after the Namekian. Five Ki Blasts shot towards Alaistair, halting the devil as he batted each away. However, he was not swift enough! Half of the shots pelted him back onto the ground. Though, Alaistair was not ready to go down yet! In the wake of the smoke covering the area, he shot a couple of his own ki blasts at Xylo, to cripple his movement and let him get in a punch or 2!
"My body is at war on 3 sides... My original self, the demon who infected me, and the cleansing halo fragments in me. I have weakened the fragments only slightly, but it has left myself vulnerable to the demon, whose energy has shot into me to corrupt me moreso... I must have you explain how your kin have merged with only 1 remaining."
(Not much to go on. Short posts hold their significance though!)

It was easier to follow them now, with his mind clear and concentration at its peak. It was like he was learning all over again from scratch. He hadn't guessed his body had taken so much trauma by simply being in stasis for a few thousand years. He should've known, though, as his power had decreased dramatically since that last day in his previous life. In the end, all of his skills needed a drastic tuneup, it seemed. In due time he would be able to keep up with these two beings, perhaps even surpass them! He was promised ultimate power by Alaistair, as a matter of fact, and that was his main motivation for even aligning himself with these Devil's Knights.
It brought Kizuki back to his childhood, a few eras before this one. His training under another Saiyajin Elite, as his father had no desire to train Kizuki himself. The man was more diplomatic than anything, which was odd for their race. Kizuki would have none of it. Rather, he would spend his time in the barracks of Planet Daikondu's army, watching as the Elite Soldiers would spar with one another, gaining more power in battle. That was his first part of training, to observe the soldiers and understand their movements. Drink in the battle as if you were there, analyze it and how you would be better. Kizuki felt like he was there. In a child's body, young eyes studying their movements with a thirst to learn, a thirst to get stronger.
 It wasn't until Alaistair began firing off ki blasts that Kizuki came back to the present time. As a full grown adult once more, no longer a child, but clearly needing to do as he had in those days. Observe. He took in another deep breath to relax himself again, to take in the fight once more and study Xylo's and Alaistair's movements as he did over a thousand years ago. This was how he would sharpen his sense once again. He was once a powerful warrior, now reduced to having to start from the first phase. It made his blood boil a bit, angered him and blinded him in a sense. That dark feeling creeping into his gut once more, though he was able to maintain composure enough to continue to follow this spar.

The devil shot skywards, which Xylo responded to by pelting him with Ki energy. Alaistair was able to avoid some of them, but the barrage was too much for him, and he was sent back to the ground. Alaistair wouldn't give up that easily however! He tossed a pair of Ki orbs into the sky as he flew, most likely hoping they would act as a distraction. They did little good however; Xylo simply batted them away, giving him ample time to avoid the incoming melee strikes. Once again, the dance of combat began; Xylo dodging each blow that Alaistair tossed out. The Namekian would normally fight back much more fiercely, but he wanted to make sure he could properly instruct his ally on how this whole fission thing worked. The Namekians ears twitched as he listened to Alaistair explain. He didn't want fission, he wanted fusion. Xylo stopped dead in his tracks, taking a hit from the Devil due to shock. He floated back to the ground for a moment, taking in the information he'd just been given. Instead of replying internally, he couldn't help but speak aloud. "Alaistair... You want to use... Fusion?" The Namekian's blood ran cold at the simple thought of even using a technique as taboo as that one. "I may be a Mazoku Warrior, but there's lines even we would never dare cross in our attempts to gain power... Fusion is one of them."Another memory surged through his mind; a memory of an old Mazoku warrior who almost went a bit too far... "Drom, no!" shouted a Namekian elder garbed in a dark robe. He was pleading with a young Mazoku Warrior who had defeated his sparring partner, and was about to fuse with his unconscious body. Drom cursed at his elder, placing his hand on the fallen warriors chest. "Shut your mouth, aged bat! It seems you're much too soft, even for a Mazoku Elder! I'm fusing with him, which will make me the stronge--" Before he could finish, Drom's chest was pierced by a Ki Beam. The one who fired it was none other than the elder himself. Xylo, a young Namekian child, gasped as he watched the Mazoku Warrior fall limp, his life gone. The elder turned to the young Namekian, a glint of sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry you had to see that..."Xylo shook himself back to reality. He turned to Alaistair, and for the first time since they'd met, Xylo's eyes had fear in them. "I will teach you how to use fusion, but I warn you: Once your personalities become one, there's no telling which one will prevail. Due to the fact that you aren't Namekian, the ritual might not work the way it is supposed to. Are you absolutely certain you wish to go through with what you are about to do?"

Xylo immediately stopped in place, Alaistair's fist landing upon his green cheek. Though, he did not move an inch from where he once was! It was impressive! Alaistair hopped back and readied himself for Xylo's onslaught, but instead, was greeted with a fearful sentiment from the Namekian. He told him that the personalities would fight over who was the dominant one, to which the devil scoffed with an unsettling giggle.
"Xylo... Had I not explained to you what I am clearly?"
He stood straight, as he jabbed a thumb to his chest as his tail slammed on the ground.
"I will elaborate, more clearly... I am a corrupted Kaishin! I was once pure, and kind, protective entity that strove to free the minds of thousands. My name is what I chose, to continue this idea when I was first turned into what I am now... Though, I was more 'brainless' than intelligent. I was sent to HFIL, to be purified of the corrupted part so that I may be reborn to what I was before, and I didn't want that. So, I had been branded with a curse from HFIL... A curse that restrained my swelled up energy that I displaced amongst the thousands of souls in the realm, whom I have yet to fulfill my promise of life once more. I am still that Kaishin, but I have seen both extremes of the two sides of order and chaos, and I know where I must go. The realm in between awaits, and to do that, I must fuse these essences within me, so that I may regain some of my old strength. Old strength from when I was corrupted... And before then as well!"
Alaistair pointed at Xylo, as he told him, "I am more than capable of accomplishing this... My old brethren had a unique way to fuse with each other, as well, and that very thing you fear is what happened to them. I know the risk too well. However, I have already overpowered my personal demons and regained some of my identity. I can handle fusing a corrupter and purifier within me."

It appeared something had halted the Namekian's role in the spar, as Xylo stopped completely and allowed himself to be hit directly in the face by Alaistair. It caused the Saiyajin to tilt his head to the side, quite confused. Why would Xylo drop his guard suddenly like that? It wasn't like the Namekian to do such things, he was usually quite aggressive in his sparring. Then he heard him speak, which threw Kizuki for an even bigger loop. What the hell was he talking about? "Nanda?" ( "What?") Kizuki would leave his post from the wall, approaching Alaistair and Xylo as the fight seemed to have come to a halt, walking calmly as if the ten times increase of gravity wasn't a burden to him anymore at all. Listening to Xylo speak to Alaistair about the technique, the risks and the rewards, the Saiyajin would raise a single brow in an inquisitive manner. These two just continued to get more weird as the days passed them. "Fusion? What in the hell are you talking about?" Kizuki had admittedly done some research on Namekians once he first encountered Xylo. This art of "fusion" was not one of the things he had picked up on. He wasn't even quite sure where this all came from. Were the two talking to each other telepathically while sparring? In any case, Kizuki stood there in that classic arms crossed posed, looking between the two every so often to see who would start talking first. "Fusing.. bodies? Into one? Is that what you're referring to? Is that even possible?"
And then, Alaistair would speak. It made Kizuki's eyes nearly pop out of his head. A Kaioshin?! HIM?! Regardless of being corrupted or not, the being in front of him, who had recruited him as a Kaioshin! The Supreme Kai! The Lord of Lords! Kizuki knew enough of the deities of the galaxy to know that Alaistair's former position, prior to his "fall from grace", was the most respected of all. He didn't speak, he barely even moved. He just listened to Alaistair explain his reasoning for wanting to "fuse" with the versions of himself, battling inside his physical body.

Alaistair seemed to be a little too confident in himself for Xylo's taste. In any other subject, Xylo would be alright with it, but here, Xylo couldn't understand. Sure, Alaistair WAS a Kai-shin, but could even they truly face what fusion really did to someone? Xylo had never seen a fused Namekian before in his life, but he'd heard the tales many a time. Apparently, a powerful Namekian had come from earth to face a tyrannical overlord who's name has been lost to the flow of time. The Namekian fused with one of his brethren, gaining immense power; but the rest of the legend was never told to Xylo. The mere thought of sharing his body with another soul sent shivers down his spine. He could only imagine how conflicting it must feel. The Devil persisted, and Xylo gave in. His Ki Aura slowly died out as he gulped nervously. "Alright... Allow me to explain as best I can."Xylo raised his hand, and an oddly cartoony set of plush-toy Namekians appeared in his palm. They stood up by themselves; one of them marching around the edge of Xylo's hand, while the other stayed in the center, meditating quietly. "Think of the personalities within you as flowing rivers. Each of them run parallel to one another, but they never meet. They are opposites; one stream moves quietly and peacefully, while the other moves erratically like a raging whirlpool." The Namekians in Xylo's hand demonstrated this. The Warrior-type raised his stubby arm heroically, quickly throwing a set of jabs in Kizuki's direction. The Dragon-Clan Namekian continued to stay still, however, eventually floating slightly above Xylo's palm. "Though they are born of the same twine, they have different souls, different feelings, and different wants. To truly fuse with another, you must be of one mind." The two plush-toys turned to one another. At first they butt heads, but through time, they understand one another. They slowly touch their hands to one another, and a miniature flash of light occurs. When the light dissipates, only a single plush Namekian remains. He has the kind eyes of the Dragon Clan, but the fierce spirit of the Warrior. Soon after, the Namekian in Xylo's hand poofs out of existence, and he shuts his hand tightly. "Of course, I presume that in your case, your fragmented souls will never agree to a perfect merging peacefully. Instead, agree to a single mindset: 'I want to get rid of you and own this body myself'. If you both think like this, the merging shall begin, and the stronger willed spirit will be the only one in control."
A bit goofy, but I thought it was the best possible way to explain it off the top of my head.

(Goofy is fine and that explanation was nicely put!)
His partner was not sure of Alaistair's confidence, and the young saiyan came in, confused at the random outburst on fusion. Alaistair glimpsed over at Kizuki for a moment, to see him look at Alaistair with some sort of respect for something higher than what he was... A look Alaistair, admittedly, wished it befitted him, even before his corruption. Unfortunately, as he was about to now, he had to correct those that looked at him with such eyes.
"Kizuki, I was once Kaishin, not my Superior brethren... They wouldn't become what I am. Their existence is simply too pure. I can see that respect you're giving and I do not deserve that prestige... yet."
Alaistair stopped speaking, to listen to Xylo's explanation of the two souls, or in Alaistair's case fragments, being like two rivers that have the same origin but form out differently. He proceeded to tell him that he'd have to think it as if he were trying to eliminate them completely, as he focused. Alaistair nodded, as he respectfully answered, "I see... Then we'll most certainly need to keep wary of what happens in here when I have the three blend... Maybe I can use a drink before we go any further. For now, let's end this session of ours. We've got business to attend to, if we want to take over this empire. What say you to that?"
