Bigby pirouetted threw the sky's wildly. The majestic cloudy world of the sky's opening up to him as he threatened to buckle under it. "Hey no! Reangle the thrusters, the other way! The other way Athan!" Giving the kid flying lessons really made him take for granted the military programs he had to start with. He almost felt he was learning the basic's all over again as he let the kid take over his body to learn himself. "Why can't I just use your software!?" Athan would ask him from within his own head. Before holding one of his hands out to dispense some Ki and stabilize themselves. As they slowly pulled back into stability and control. Even though they were going amazingly fast, the soft hum of the jet's faded to the back of everything as they hugged right next to a cloud. It was majestic up here, Bigby wished he could just explore this place instead of any crummy forests to learn his lesson.

I need to stop coming back here! There's nothing but trouble here! Zerori admonished herself as she jumped from building to building, the air warping as she pushed through the wind. Looking around for the woman she quested for, she gave a grunt at the people that seemed to just go about their day. She was here, Zerori was certain of it. Jumping back into the wind, she appeared once more a moment later beside a building that reached the highest over the other structures in the city.
I've only got ONE lead to go off of that she was here and I'm starting to think I'm being fucked with... again, She though with a half frown, eyes narrowed at each person as they either passed each other to get to their destination or stop to assist in the rebuilding. She noted the unfortunate building that fell to her 'plan' to try and give Natto a better image, which failed... pretty terribly. With a slight flush to her face of shame, she averted to gaze toward a different direction.
After a good five minutes of searching she gave a heavy sigh and sat down cross-legged in the air, held up by a floor of air below her. "I'm getting no where..." She muttered, arching her neck back to stretch it, cracking some of cartilage as she tried to relax herself. When her eyes caught sight of a stream of air in the distance, the saiyaness blinked in wonder before she lowered her neck and turned around. "Planes after all this?"You'd think they'd learn not to make themselves a target, these humans.
As it got closer, she couldn't help that it certainly didn't look like a plane anymore and stood up to focus on it. "Wait, is that...?" Closer and closer it got before she recognized the hair style and clothing before she laughed, "That DOG!" She didn't hesitate to jump back into the wind, disappearing like a small tornado - only to appear close to the flying android as he touched the clouds, "Hey! Where you been, Bigs?" She yelled, sporting a taunting grin with the intent to frighten him with her sudden appearance. Her body slightly levitating as she propelled in a lounging posture before she moved her body to run in place besides him before she could fall.

Bigby's eye's would widen as he shoots his hands up to catch himself with some air brakes to stop flying. After righting himself he would look over. "Zerori! It's so good to see you!" He would cross his arms and ponder. "Wow! Your power level's gotten so high I did not even recognize you on my scanners! Get over here doll how have you been?" He said, floating over to her for a hug. Bigby was thrilled to see another old face again and flat out proud that his old sparring partner had surpassed him by no much in the ample down time.

She grinned at the reception, a slight flush across her face which turned into an outright confused expression when he reached over to hug her, uncertain what to say as she allowed his contact, “Ah, I, uh… it’s been a long six months on this planet…” She hoped he wouldn’t ask, not really up to explaining how her demonic side was only slightly in control thanks to Bing’s ‘holy’ power. She let him go, preferring to run along side him instead as she started to questions, “So what are you doing here? You just… decide to drop into existence after so long? I thought you’d been shut down somewhere where I couldn’t find you!” As stoic as she tried to stay when it came to concern for others, she didn’t mind expressing it privately to him since she’d… well, more or less saved his life. “Oh! Err… Athan or Bigs? I forget which one was in charge!” Tossing another smile at her ignorance.

"Oh it's still Bigby up here. I'd get him his own body, but my creators finally wired me out of the system and robot parts on the black market are expensive! Sorry I was gone for so long! Really! I should have checked in. I wish I had something better to tell you, but I was mostly just wandering through the forests to the east. I was really just... Trying not to hurt anybody for the longest time. I came up here because I hadn't flown in so long and I was bored out of my mind!" He said, returning her smile and really hoping that she wasn't hurting badly after the scare he had given her. He would fly at a casual pace right next to Zerori. Arms crossed behind his back as his jet's dulled down into a quieter mode.

The saiyaness waved at him, a scoff in her voice. “I was hardly available for calls either so don’t worry about it,” As he slowed his pace, Zerori thought of a better way to move. Giving a glance down at her legs, she narrowed her eyes in concentration before suddenly grinding to a halt. As expected, she would start to slide like she was on ice and wobbled a bit before looking like she was skateboarding on air. She smirked at him, eyes half-lidded in arrogance, “I’ve been learnin’ shit pretty fucking quick,” Just before she felt herself tripping and almost falling away from the android. She caught herself in time, reaching up and grasping onto a pocket of quickly crafted air, swinging herself back up to land on another quickly manipulated floor of air below her. Gasping in breathing, her heartbeat now greatly accelerated from the near miss and fall towards the ocean below, she shuddered, “Every time I open my mouth…” Looking back up at him, she looked around for him before disappearing into a whirl wind and appearing back beside him. Giving a sigh, she tossed him a deadpanned look as she ran in place beside him, “It’s been a tough week… So,” She changed the subject, “’Tryin’ not to hurt anybody’, what’s that about? As far as I know, you’ve never done that since,” She looked off to the side, thinking for a moment, “-Never.”

Bigby would get really quiet at this. Not wondering or caring about how she seemed to be able to manipulate the clouds in order to move in the complex way she was. He wanted to inquire with Athan over weather or not he should tell the truth. But he couldn't, Athan might have his memories. But he wasn't there. He had not experienced all the people that he had geniunly hurt in his life. The list stacked up. He had ended lives on the moon, he had killed a lot of innocent people when he had first even gotten a body to himself. He had intended to take an incredible amount of power without even regarding all the lives it would smash. Bigby did not have a high opinion of himself. But he also knew that unloading into his already upset friend with an explanation like that would just go to distance them farther. "I've done plenty that you wouldn't know about that directly and indirectly... Screwwed a lot of people right over." He said. Recalling a number of their faces perfectly even though he greatly just wanted to delete the memories from himself. But he could not.
If he did, he would be doomed to repeat his past mistakes, like it or not scrubbing himself clean like he had the ability to do would make him less of a person. So he'd have to put up with the pain of is actions, unlike all of the other A.I's he had practically set free from his misadventures. He hoped Zeror would not push much ferther. He needed a friend at the moment, he suddenly realized. Being a machine sucked, especially if you just had a voice in your head to message you back and forth.

As Zerori waited for some kind of response, unable to belief that he’d hurt anyone, she looked over at him completed with a dumbfounded yet confused expression at his silence. Bigby…? True, she didn’t know him for that long and had lost contact with him for only a little less than the same amount of time. Was there more to it that he was going to explain? Did he think that she was going to judge him for any sort of destruction or death he caused to people in his way? Maybe a little, but… She listened to him and frowned when she was right on the money. He wasn’t going to tell her, after all… Well, she could try to pry the information from him forcefully but the memory of how effective that was before resurfaced and she shuddered. I need to brush back up and stop lazyin’ about! With a swift sigh, she slowed down to a brisk jog and looked ahead of herself as if to keep herself focused on her words. “It’s fine if you can’t say it. There are times when I keep it all in, too in the hopes that I don’t remember and… y’know, not spill ‘em.” Her face softened, ever so slightly, “But lemme say, Bigs that you ain’t alone in that feelin’. Before I came to Earth, I hardly thought about the consequences of my actions and I didn’t hesitate to remove any one or any thing in my way. Some days… I feel myself slipping back to that self of mine.” She grinned, showing off her fangs rebelliously, “But I won’t give up what I learned here, on this planet and you shouldn’t either!” From the corner of her eyes, she gave him a quick wink.

Bigby would stop, he had this strange sensation in his chest it... He had to check to see that his artificial tactile sensors were deactivated and sure enough they were. This feeling of... Grief mixed with happiness it... Was very intense. Bigby liked to consider himself a fully developed adult despite the fact that he was in fact only as physically old as a human child before reaching adolescence. Because of this, he decided how he felt. Not as some, perhaps better developed people would with a feeling in his gut. But with an educated decision just like how almost every one that he had to do so. Why the closest time he had felt even close to this much was when he was about to destroy himself.
But it felt different, like a kinder sort of emotion inspired by a friend. He strongly felt... Empathy an sincerity from his friend. Honestly, without anybody to talk to about it. Unloading with someone who was rocking in the same boat was him was... a much needed relief. He slowed down, a smiled the most genuine smile he ever had. "It doesn't matter exactly what I did or what I was doing does it? It's just now... Isn't it?" He said, his voice really sounding like her old friend. If perhaps one that was a bit more youthful, like he had let down a burden. "I think it's about time I give this body a rest. Make a new one. A better one right here. How would you feel if this constantly shifting face got a little younger? Hell, I was first made eight years ago for peat sake..."

When he stopped, as if mulling over her words, she looked back at him and tilted her head. So he didn’t think about that, did he? A smirk grazed her lips before she looked back down at the ground, eyeing some of the geographical features that caught her eye. One in particular being the sky darkening mysteriously and the clouds seemed to darken along with the change. Blinking at the strange weather climate change, the saiyaness would look around quickly – a tilt to her head when she noticed something in the great distance far above her. It was only a moment later that she turned back to her friend, noting his self reflection with a knowing grin, “A change, huh? …Y’know, that may not be a half bad idea on both fronts!” With a cursory glance over her own attire, the hybrid would make a note later to change her usual appearance to something a little more practical. She returned the question with an answer, “Younger? Like, a child? Because I’d rather you not look eight years old!” She threw her head backing laughter, tickled at her joke even if it wasn’t what he intended at all. When she contained her mirth, she looked back up at the strange light and took a deep breath in through her nose. That must be… what happens when you gather those magical balls? Her face seemed to fall, her eyes glassing over a bit when the realization hit her. Ari, the young girl whose life she took accidentally… would not be returning to life this time…

"Ha! No way girly girl. I'm talking about looking maybe 18. Flat." He said churning up a design document for himself to get to work on as soon as he could. Bigby was always happy to change his form. It was like dresses with him. Even when he did not need to back when he had a home all to himself he changed the set of skin around his exoskeleton all the time. Now that a certain friend of his had given him a bunch of artificial organs his skin was actually a really expensive tool that he could use to feel things really well. So an extra skin would not be cheap. In fact he would probably have to just modify his existing body rather than create a new one.
He was so exited to give the new one a try. He also wondered what Zerori might put on as well. He had never taken much of an interest in organic fashion. Hell he had his shoes at the moment built into his body. But his attention was drawn to the glow that Zerori was now staring at. "What's that?"

Zerori ignored the ‘girly girl’ jab, looking back up at the light before she turned back to Bigby, “It’s, if I’m right, a ritual with some sort of gems known as ‘dragon balls’. I’m not sure what else happens afterwards, but…” She felt a shiver of interest rush down her spine at the idea that came to life, “-I’ll find out…” It may be too late to bring back Ari with those dragon balls, she’d no idea where to look or even how, but she knew for certain that it was in the direction of the Lookout, the same place that Bing had tried to take her before she’d run off to investigate for her mother’s location. It was time to speak with him about the dragon balls, then… and she wouldn’t pass up the opportunity this time! Zerori crossed her arms, a thoughtful frown on her face before turning back to Bigby. She needed to test something. “Bigs, you said you didn’t want to hurt people anymore,” She began, trying to word this just right, “-but I’m going to need you to put that aside for a moment.” With a smirk, she turned to him completely and raised a hand, snapping her fingers once. Flames ignited, swirling around her hand before it cracked and slowly burned around her gloves. “I want a rematch..”

"Oh I know all about the dragon balls." Bigby said just barely pulling back. "I need to get my hands all over those crystals so that I can bring back a lot of people that are in the grave because of me. I made a promise to a friend that I would gather them." At her challenge to a fight he would look at his body. Not near good enough to beat or even put up a fight against his old friends as things currently stood. But maybe if he made a few cuts to the design document... He closed his eyes. Concentrating deeply as for just a moment as he let the world slip away. Past his constructed senses of sight, sound, and smell he dived back into his home. A universe of 1's and 0's. His body would start to glow and fizzle with energy once again. Billions of machines the size of cells were ripping it apart and placing all the pieces back where they should be it was a design that improved on the previous one in every way. He opened his eyes, feeling on top of the world. Then, he began to laugh. At himself, at this whole ordeal, and hopefully with his friend. "Zerori, sorry to say that this new body does make me feel like a kid. When compared to your power right now. I've never met anybody so strong as you are right now. I'd still say yes, but if you punched me one time this shiny new body goes bye bye."

Zerori blinked, caught off guard for a moment, “You do?! You must tell me what you know! It may too late here but if there’s anywhere else I can find them-!” Stopping herself, she realized that might spill the beans on her own situation… That much knowledge would no doubt prove awkward. She addressed his desire for the dragon balls, “If you want, you can follow me where I go to find them, that is…” She scoffed, smirk returned, “-if you really know where to find more.” She watched as he changed his body in preparation for their spar, looking on in amazement as it seemed to almost melt, dissolve or a combination of the two into a completely new form. She tilted her head, Is this a new battle operation he has? I knew his form change but damn, this is… Thought lost to the wind, she waved off his concerns with a laugh as he expressed how easily she might ruin his new teenage body. It wasn’t bad, if anything it might be perfect for espionage or even fast-paced fighting. She tried to put him on ease, “Don’t worry, the flames won’t kill you until I make them do so. This is simply a, uh…” She looked off to the side, scratching her cheek with a finger in thought. “…A test.” She just hoped it actually put him at ease…

His posture would change over into a more offensive stance. It seemed as if the androids cockiness could and would not simply end when he was grossly outmatched. It was at this point just a natural state of his being. "Well I can tell you that I know exactly how to construct a radar in order to detect one of these balls in order to gather it. The only problem is that I lack the resources required to make it as it costs as much as a space ship and it will need to be recharged rather expensively with every use I'm afraid. Other than that, a big ass, mighty dragon comes along and uses an unseen force in order to grant almost any wish within it's power. Like say... Bringing a planet or a bunch of people back from the dead."
He would start spinning up his reactor to it's highest setting. "Well let's see how long it takes me to melt into a puddle hmm? If you overdo it, then I'll find you and give you the bill for my new body." He threatened as he got ready to move.
