Etoru frowned. There was no mistaken it. This had to be what Hikari was talking about earlier! That forbidden technique! Etoru felt as if this was the end. One fatal swoop??! N-No! He had too much at stake here! He couldn't die! He just couldn't! He never brought Zerori back! A-And! Master Bing! He never got to show him how much he's improved! And what about that trip to Namek! And he just met his mom! There was too much to lose! And he was NOT going to die here! Etoru growled intensely as he saw the crimson aura flaring around her. Etoru felt the immense power growing! Wind swirled and Etoru squinted at her. The child was determined to win this! In a bit of a shaky voice, he called out to her angrily. "Rei-Sensei huh....?! If our lesson is how to die, you can be the first example....!!!!" Etoru snarled. Usually, he would remember events that happened like this, but he was so enraged by the time this was over he'd probably only remember few things of when he was in Wolf Spirit, but other than that, his mind was being taken over by this beast like transformation.
She began calling out the name of her attack. Etoru held his arm vertically towards her, gripping his wrist with his free hand. His orange aura flared wildly, clashing with her crimson aura. "SHENKAI....!" The trees and grass shook wildly. Wild life began fleeing the area as this intense battle raged on. Finally, she let out her attack. But in doing so, Etoru let out his. "BEAM!" The two attacks raged on. Etoru's yellow beam clashed into her crimson beam. The attack struggled a bit. Etoru grit his teeth pushing. For a brief moment, Etoru pushed past her. He grit his teeth, almost breaking through her beam. However, the attack started pushing back and it was left in the middle. It lasted for a few brief moments. The lighting in the forest was emitted by the two beams light. The sky's darkened in the area from the sheer amount of power the two warriors held in their attacks.
After a few brief moments, Reikiko's Kikoho started pushing towards Etoru. "....N...N...No!" His feet were being dragged back at the dirt leaving two tiny trails. He pushed harder, but it was to no avail. Soon enough, the crimson red beam bursted through in extreme amount of force. Etoru quickly put his hands up to guard. The attack scraped him up a bit. But it didn't seem to hurt TOO much. He was just worn out from using all his energy. Speaking of that...HE PUT EVERYTHING HE HAD INTO THAT! When the attack was over, Etoru was lying by a pond, his eyes half way shut. He breathed slowly as he looked at the pond. The child dipped his hand in only to feel the cold rush on his hands. He sat up fast panting. "H-huh??" Other than using most of his energy and looking tired, the child didn't even seem to be that beaten up from the Kikoho. His Wolf Spirit was gone however.
Etoru looked up and saw Reikiko. The child gulped. He crawled backwards whimpering only to have his hand slip in the pond. He would of lost balance and fell in too, but used his flight. "I-I...I..." His heart beat increased dramatically and he no longer seemed angry or enraged not caring about the level of strength she was at. In fact, his power dropped as well. Etoru's shook in fear. The poor child yelping, soared to Hikari. He instantly clung to Hikari, hoping to find the safety he needed with her. "I-I-I'm sorry!" The child cried out. "....P-Please don't kill me!" He then hid his face, plopping it in Hikari's hair, shutting his eyes tightly. The poor hybrid was visibly shaking as he desperately hid hoping this would all just end soon WITHOUT him dying. ---
Etoru and Reikiko got into a beam clash.
Reikiko triumphed in battle. 704,769 PL damage took on Etoru.
Etoru's wolf spirit deactivated. He's left in a state of fear. He clung to Hikari.

It was a bit of a surprise that the boy had been able to draw forth so much energy, a feat quite remarkable for one of his age. While it was a fact that Reikiko had yet to tap in the true potential of her new form, and her own attack had been fired at its weakest level, the fact the boy survived with only several bruises and scraps made the bio-android frown with a mild hint of disappointment. She clearly would need to grow even more powerful, and she knew the best way to do that. Her eyes returned to their narrowed glare at Etoru, watching the boy having collapsed in a shallow pond, and clearly working to regain his senses. However, curiously enough the feral presence within the lad had faded, and silently she watched the boy fly all the way up to Hikari, hoping to seek sanctuary in her presence.
The little warrior had clearly reverted back into the persona of a scared child, his pleas to be spared while he clung to Hikari's chest, the desperate attempt to conceal himself inside her bust clearly causing a flustered reaction from the hybrid who was flailing lightly.
"W-W-Wait a moment, those are only for R-Rei-"
"That is what you're worried about?"
The sudden voice that came from beside her caused Hikari to freeze lightly, knowing all too well that it belonged to Reikiko, and judging from the earlier confrontation that was little to no good news at all.
"You're wide open if someone can grapple you like that Hikari."
The sternness in Reikiko's voice was the same type you'd hear a villain use just moments before killing a minion for making a mistake, but after a short pause she added, her lips curving up into a brief smile while her tail swished forwards toward the trembling child.
"Then again, that area is one of your charms."
Humming teasingly the Bio-android's tail finally reached Etoru, attempting to coil around his waist and pull him off Hikari.
"To ask me not to kill you is quite a difficult request Etoru, and will likely depend on yourself."
Reikiko's tone had clearly grown darker and more serious once more, and if she succeeded in catching the boy she would have hovered back down to the surface, or at the very least Hikari would have done so also either way. However, the bio-android's tail finally swished back, releasing its potential grip to let the boy land on the ground while her tail moved back behind her.
"You asked earlier 'Why' Walker permitted for this to happen. Then answer me this question first Etoru. How do you grow stronger? Is it merely by training and fighting enemies? What about the necessary things your body needs to survive, the things it needs to nurture and mature? What about eating and drinking?"
She was sure this was about to become a trial in its own, but perhaps it was one worth trying, and in the worst case she'd just finish her meal after talking to her dessert. In the end, the least she could do was enlighten this scared child, in the end everyone deserved to be told why they were possibly about to be killed, or worse, turned into a milkshake.
"Do you have any favorite food kiddo? Or a drink? I heard people your age love milk."
Was she literally just having a conversation with the very person she was planning to kill?

Etoru hid his face in her bust hoping not too die at this very moment. However, the child was too innocent to really know where he was sticking his face in. All he really was worried about was getting out of here in one piece. Hikari however, seemed a bit timid when Etoru did this. She flailed around slightly which only caused Etoru to cling tighter. He didn't know what she meant by 'those are for Rei' but he didn't let go. He felt as if his heart stopped once he heard Reikiko's voice. They exchanged a few words before Etoru felt something wrap around his waist. "N-NO! PLEASE!!!" He flailed around desperately before coming to a stop. He sniffled as he was on the bridge of tears. The child stared at Reikiko gulping when she told him that not killing him would be a difficult thing to do. "...I-It...depends on...myself...?" Soon enough, Hikari and Reikiko descended towards the ground.
Reikiko let go of the boy once they've landed. The child fell on his rear staring up frightened. He crawled back shaking. She finally replied to his question to Walker. I guess if anyone knew 'why' Walker did what he did, it was her. So he listened. He blinked. "How do people get stronger...?" Etoru blinked confused. "Well um yeah sure I guess. Food and drinks are like supposed to be there or else you wont have your fuel ya know?" Etoru seemed to suddenly seem super casual about this for some odd reason. It almost seemed as if they were too friends having a normal talk. He sat criss-crossed and rocked back and forth as he talked. "But, I mean I think like training and fighting really strong people helps a lot! I don't think food gets you stronger, or else you'd just be really fat!" Etoru nodded. "But still, it's super duper tasty! But I didn't get strong from that or training! Well yes training but I got stronger in a whole other way! Mhhhhm!" The childs furry brown appendage swayed side to side from behind him as he looked at Reikiko with big, blank, curious, innocent eyes.
Reikiko then asked him a question that was kind of weird. Totally off topic too! Then he frowned at her with an annoyed expression. "Milk?! How old do you think I am?! I'm not a baby you know!" Etoru crossed his arms huffing. He put his hands up. "I'm like..." He started counting his fingers. Etoru never got any education to be honest, so he kind of lost count with his fingers. "Uhm. Look, I'm 6. End of discussion." He pouted. "And the only milk I drink, is ice cream. That's right! Ice cream is my favorite food!" He smiled excitedly. "But really, I eat almost anything! There was this one time with Master Bing where he cooked up a huuuge meal! It was SOOOO tasty!" He giggled. Being the motor mouth he was, he kept talking. "And anooother time where I was with Mr.Jarvis, and he made me this awesome omelet. Oo! Oo! And another time with my uncle! HE MADE THESE AWESOME DUMPLINGS!! OH MY GOSHHHH They were sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!" He fell on his back. his mouth watering just THINKING about it! He sat back up. "But there's like MORE food I want to try! I heard there was something called sushi, it sounds good. I never tried it." He put his hand on his chin thinking. "Or how about...Pi....zza? I think it was called! I heard people talk about it while walking in the city! I reaaaally want to try that." Etoru wouldn't stop talking. And if Rei didn't hush him, he would of kept talking as well. --- Etoru seems casual with Reikiko|||Etoru told her that training wasn't his main source of getting stronger|||Etoru got annoyed she thought he was younger than he was, mainly the milk comment.|||Etoru kept blabbing about food and wont stop talking unless Reikiko hushes him||| ---

Speaking about a sudden change of pace, the matured bio-android couldn't help but smile briefly as Etoru seemed to understand her point. Unfortunately it had only been partly, for he soon started to rant about all the type of foods he ate. Sure, for a few seconds she could bear with it, after three minutes she frowned in annoyance and after a quarter of an hour had passed she raised her hand, a swift jab with the palm of her hand attempting to obstruct the boy's mouth and force him into a momentary silence if she reached him. She sighed, shaking her head lightly as she continued speaking.
"Yes Etoru, Those things you mentioned just now are all assets that help you grow, but also survive. Did you know that a lot of those things are made from living things? Take Sushi for example, it's made from creatures that inhabit the sea. People eat pork and beef, and yet they raise pigs and cows. However, none ever questions such an act as murder, for the simple reason that it's a natural part of this process known as a food chain. Grass is on the bottom, cows eat grass, and humans eat cows. That's a food chain."
She paused for a moment, seemingly giving Etoru a chance to take in the information she tried to provide to him in a simplistic way. Finally after a moment she crosses her arms beneath her chest.
"However, humans clearly are a part of this chain, for if a human is too weak a tiger in the wilderness will surely devour them. This raises me back to my former point Etoru. Beings like me and Walker, are special in the sense that if we want to grow stronger and survive we need to eat, and the food we need are the ones on top of the food chain: the very people that stand as our equals. We don't devour simply because of malice, it's often because we need to carry out such an action in order to mature. In the end, do you want to stay a child forever?"
She knew the question would likely get another verbal response from Etoru, but the words that would follow would surely silence him.
"Walker tried an alternative, instead of eating someone else, it was like he ate a part of himself. He matured, but that desire to not involve others led to his maturity to be a weak one."
The bio-android smiled sadly, crouching down to the height of the boy, seemingly t look at him straight in the eye.
"That is why he offered to duel me, to battle as two predators, with the victor feasting on the spoils. The reason? You just need to look back backwards. The stronger ones are always the winners, and they get to decide how things end. It isn't just like that with the food chain, but also with entire societies. In the end such a reasoning is what made the Saiyajin invade Earth, and they were able to inflict so much damage because of the weakness within some of us. That is why Walker wanted to help me obtain a power greater than those of the Saiyajin."
The bio-android rose back onto her feet, her gaze briefly focusing onto Hikari, who seemed a bit perplexed by her actions before she continued.
"Either way, now you understand why this happened. If Walker didn't sacrifice himself, someone else would have had to die, or I would have never grown into this state of being. Compare it to a child growing into a teenager, but unlike that example there is only one way for this growth to happen. Anymore questions?"
This almost felt like a fox teaching a chicken about food chains, while the fox was inside the coop...

Etoru kept talking...and talking....and talking...he didn't really notice the annoyed expression on Reikiko's face. Soon enough, her arm shot down at Etoru. It covered his mouth which caused him to look at her confused. The child looked at her blankly. His mouth muffled, he tried to speak. "Mmmmph. Mmph Hm Mph Mphh." Then came muffled giggles. Finally she let go. Etoru scrunched his face. "Your hand smells like something burned. Your attack must reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally pack a punch huh." Reikiko began explaining the 'food chain' to Etoru. Etoru blinked blankly. "Oh! So that's where sushi is from!!! Sounds tast--Oh...OH....EEEK! I'M A MURDERER!" Etoru frowned sadly. All these years he was eating once living things! Oh gosh! How could he live with himself anymore!
Etoru looked at Reikiko confused. "But...if that's how it works, what does grass eat? And the thing that grass eats, what does THAT eat. And the thing that grass eats....eats....what does that one eat, and the thing that grass eats...eats....that eats....what does that eat!" Etoru held his head pouting. "Ms.Reikiko...my head hurts now..." He sighed. This was all so confusing! He got the concept, but he still couldn't grasp...why? Too survive? Clearly she was surviving without doing all of this right? So why exactly? For power? Last time Etoru checked, she defeated Vi-Poi without doing any of this. He didn't have much time to think however, as Reikiko crossed her arms. She then stated that humans were part of this food chain too. Etoru gulped nervously, not liking where this was headed. "...E-Even me?" A cold sweat ran down his neck. He tried to ignore it for now though.
Etoru frowned. She finally began explaining why Walker did what he did. Etoru finally got serious. He couldn't goof around or say anything stupid anymore. Etoru NEEDED to hear this. Etoru looked down. "Oh...s-so it's like...the way of um...your race or something right..." Etoru sighed sadly. Etoru sniffled a bit. A few tears dripped loose, but he wasn't going to cry. What's done is done. He wiped his eye with the back of his hand as Reikiko crouched his height. He stared at her sadly. She started to talk about how the stronger ones decide the end. And Etoru clenched his fists. She was absolutely right. No doubt about it. And that's why Walker gave his life. To stop the people like that. Namely, the SSE. Suddenly, Etoru didn't feel as guilty anymore that he was the reason Walker died, it was bound to happen in that battle eventually. "...I-I see...also...Walker didn't seem angry at you at all...he looked almost happy...you know?" Etoru said quietly.
Etoru smiled faintly. He crawled too his feet. He looked up at her with a straight face. Then he'd attempt to rush in for a hug. He'd push back slightly looking up with a wide smile. "You know Ms.Reikiko...you may seeeeem scary, but really, I can see a really nice person! Not that I said you're evil or anything ya know, but still! There's a ton of good in you!" He giggled. After what Reikiko told him, Etoru could rest easy. He felt so much relief for being lifted of that burden of thinking he killed Walker. "I um. Have a question, yeah." Etoru looked at her blankly. It was a few brief moments of silence before he spoke. "So um...if Walker wanted you to get rid of the SSE right...so you can like, end this cycle of violence and death for no reason..." He paused. Etoru clenched his fists tightly. "I want to help! I want to end this cycle of violence! So let me help you!" He frowned. "Ms.Hikari told me everything about it, well not really. But she says in order to do something good or some junk like that, it was boring, I wasn't really paying attention. Anyways, she said that andddd...she said to do that, you need to do anything, even becoming a target everyone hates. Even if you have to....kill people. If it means stopping the cycle for good so that other people wont feel that pain, then I'll do it! I swear! I can handle it! Let me help come onnn!" Etoru whined.
Then another question popped into his mind. "Oh and one other thing." He pointed at Hikari's chest. "What are those?" The child innocently tilted his head in confusion. "They're like super soft! But she said they were 'yours'....and you said that it was her 'charm'. Is it lucky? And did you give it back to her or something...? Why are they there?" Etoru put his hand on his chin and began thinking hard on it. Too be honest, it just seemed like dead weight. Getting rid of them would surely make you faster! ---
Etoru understood Rei|||Etoru's guilt for getting Walker killed is gone|||Etoru thinks Reikiko's not a bad person|||Etoru asked to help her|||Etoru asked a very 'awkward' question. Ahuehue ---

Reikiko had been inclined to comment to Etoru's remark about her hand that his face would be smelling burnt if he kept it up, but it seemed she decided against it, for the boy had started to understand the concept of a food chain. All hail education! Perhaps she should have gotten a part-time job at an elementary school. A light and curt nod was made with her head in response to Etoru's statement that this was the nature of her race, for that was indeed the entire base behind the existence of a Bio-android. To devour, grow and adapt into a stronger former. However, what followed afterwards was something neither Reikiko or Hikari had seemingly expected.
The boy crawled onto his feet, and without any warning rushed at her. The motion was modest in speed, but due to the distance it could have been a very clever attack. It was such a though her instincts had, her tail already swishing backwards to prepare for a lunge, while one of her arms was about to move backwards, but the actual attack that was carried out was one of a different nature. The childish hug that Etoru had used on Reikiko had caused Hikari to raise a hand, hoping to be able to calm down the bio-android enough to prevent Etoru from obtaining a new breathing hole in his stomach, but curiously enough it seemed her interference was unneeded. The bio-android's body made a small twitch, as if she had been paralyzed and left dumbfound at Etoru's action and conclusion, and in response to Etoru's words she smirked briefly, her tone clearly sarcastic.
"Whoever taught you about Knowledge of Psychological nature, really did a lovely job."
Her tail slowly shifting between the two of them, hoping to get Etoru to release his hug attack, the boy's question about how she would end the war, and that he seemed capable of helping her caused the bio-android to laugh out loud for a moment, when finally she shook her head lightly, her eyes narrowing back into a focused gaze onto the boy, while her tone became as serious and cold as it sometimes tended to be.
"It's not that simple to break the cycle of violence Etoru. Let's say that for a moment I'll aid Earth in crushing the Saiyajin? It will cause the Earthlings to slowly become further corrupted with the might and influence they would obtain as the primary authority in the galaxy. And if not, it would be only a matter of time before a new civilization rises from its ashes to continue such a conflict."
Reikiko paused for a moment, raising one of her hands toward Etoru, seemingly pointing one of her three fingers at him.
"Do you really have what it takes to make yourself an enemy of the world Etoru? To walk such a path means that everyone you loved, cared for or respected might consider you an enemy someday. Can you do such a thing? Would you be able to kill your master, kill Bing if that was the only way to create the future our galaxy needs? Would you be able to fight your own family if they oppose our ambitions?"
She pulled her hand back, a smile appearing on her lips as she crouched back to the boy's height to speak once more.
"Of course you can't, right now even I myself can't. I still have too many questions that need answers. My growth has yet to reach the level it needs for me to walk such a path."
She seemed to had gone silent, seemingly thinking of some form of nostalgic memory when she finally continued her statement.
"To take your example of the Saiyajin and their war with earth. I might hate the Saiyajin's civilization due to their arrogance, but I no longer hold any love for Earth as a whole either. Both are too tainted for me to be able to consider them worth fighting for. However, I have people on both sides that I hold dear, if I want to end this cycle of violence forever, it is very possible I will someday become an enemy of them."
Hikari seemed to intent to not allow that comment to go by, for she stepped forwards, raising a hand to Reikiko, resting it lightly on her shoulder.
"Don't say such things Rei... Surely Vi-poi and Kaula would be among those who would understand that your methods would create a place where humans and Saiyans will live as equals in harmony among others."
However, Reikiko merely shook her head, whispering in a bemused tone.
"Where do you think Kaula is now Hikari? She saw the same darkness in Earth's society that we did, but she returned to her own people, ignorant of their faults. To be honest it frightens me to see the day arrive where Kaula would have to make her decision. Then again, at least she and Radasha are a bit more sensible on terms of their opinions about the other races. So perhaps there is still a chance"
However, their conversation had been cut short when Etoru suddenly had another question pop up, gesturing toward Hikari's bosom and asking what it was. the hybrid almost instinctively pulled an arm before her breasts, her cheeks turning scarlet once more.
"Those are called 'Pillows', they are among the softest in the whole galaxy! And yes, they bring a lot of luck, but in this case the word 'Charm' is used to say that it's something that makes her even more attractive than normally. However, those aren't mine, well I'm the one who gets to snuggle into them but my own are covered under this carapace... Well, about why they are there..."
Twitch... Twitch... It was clear that steam was pouring out of Hikari's ears as she shouted in embarrassment.
"Will you stop talking about my breasts already?!"
Reikiko coughed playfully, trying to conceal the grin behind her hand when finally she turned back toward Etoru to answer his earlier request.
"But that's the truth of the matter Etoru. To walk this path one needs training, not just of the body and mind, but of the heart. To learn to be able to distance yourself, and possibly cut the connections to those who don't walk the same path... it's a harsh task, one much harder than any other you might undertake."
Not to mention, within the back of Reikiko's mind there was another thought, a curiosity toward something that she was concealing right now.

As Etoru was in the hug, she seemed to be a bit lost and or confused. Etoru didn't really realize that though. "Well, no one really taught me anything cause I was kind of alone my whole life Ms.Reikiko. I barley saw anyone except my uncle, but we rarely talked. Sort of I mean. Other than that, I didn't really see much people and we never went to the city. So no, as smart as I may seem Ms.Reikiko, no one taught me about phshychalegic...phsychalowgic.....phsychagic....whatever, nature." Etoru nodded. He took her sarcasm literally. Poor boy. Soon, she used her tail to push him back aside. Etoru stumbled slightly. The child blinked blankly at her waiting for whatever next she was going to say.
When Etoru asked to help end this war, she looked at him for a second. All of a sudden, she bursted out laughing. Etoru's cheeks flustered embarrassingly. "W...What's so funny?! Huh?!" He huffed in an annoyed town before sitting back down crossing his arms. Reikiko suddenly looked serious and stopped laughing. Apparently it isn't easy to break the cycle of hate and violence. Etoru listened and it seemed reasonable but Etoru frowned. "I never said it would be simple, but...I'll figure it out! And if you did help Earth, I dunno, they wouldn't be a new jerky bully in the galaxy because they always mind their own business and stay put on their planet. You know?" He stood quiet however, not wanting to disrupt her. She was right about a new civilization coming along. After all, there was SCAR.
Then she pointed her finger at him. Etoru frowned at her question. "I-I...I...w-w-well...." Etoru gulped. "Killing Bing....? A-And mommy....?" Etoru gulped thinking hard on it. Then she answered for him. Etoru frowned disappointed, but looked up surprised when she even said she couldn't get passed it. So she does have a heart! Etoru looked at her as she crouched down explaining that too him. "Well Ms.Reikiko....I don't really like the Saiyans that much either! They're big bullies! I'm mad that I'm a Saiyan, but in a way, it helps me learn fighting better I guess. So maybe it's like a gift in disguise! But still, the Saiyans are big jerks and that's that. But Walker shouldn't have tried to kill all of them, that's wrong. It makes us worse than them!" He smirked feeling as if he was being more mature now.
Etoru blinked confused at Hikari's interjection. "She knows Kaula and Vi-Poi that well...?" Etoru squinted seriously. "How do you know Ms.Kaula and Vi-Poi? I know Ms.Kaula a lot, I barely know Vi-Poi." He shrugged. Thinking on Kaula, she was scary! How can anyone be friends with her?! He was an acception though. Kaula is an awesome person really, just super scary. "Um, how are you friends with Kaula any ways. She's mean. And scary. She's my friend yeah! But last time, we were training, and she had this hole in her pants, or I thought it was a hole, she said that it was a skirt. Anyways, I was laughing about it, and I walked up to her and pulled it up to show how big the hole was. She got reaaaaaaaaaally mad and slammed me into the floor! I was so confused. But! She told me you should NEVER lift someones skirt up, unless they're your enemy! Because then it causes a distraction! Also, I might buy a skirt too! She said it helps for movement!" Etoru grinned excitedly. All he needed to do was borrow Caesi's card and use the Zeni on it and....wait does she even have a card? Ughhh. No matter.
Etoru then decided to ask about Hikari's chest, being confused too what it actually was. Her face got really red for some reason and she covered her chest with her arm. Etoru just stared innocently. He was so confused at the moment. Reikiko began to answer his question leaving Etoru to listen in awe. "Softest in the whole galaxy?!" Etoru was amazed and leaned in to listen to her. "Oh~ So they ARE lucky! I knew it!" Reikiko continued on leaving Etoru to stare at the bio-android in amazement. Etoru blinked. "Snuggle? Oo, that sounds comfy." He turned to Hikari. "Can I snuggle with your pillows later?" He blinked innocently. Then Etoru froze. He turned fast. "WAIT! YOU HAVE ONE TWO?! Let me see!" Etoru moved his head every which way to get a look at them. Then Hikari got really mad and asked to stop talking about...her breasts? "Um, Ms.Hikari? I thought Ms.Reikiko said they're called pillows." He scratched his chin confused. "Well, either way! I want one! I want one! But in the mean time until I get my own pillows, Hikari can I borrow your pillows?" He turned to Reikiko. "I would ask for your pillows, but they don't look as big as her pillows. Either way, I'll get my own pillows soon. Where can I buy them?"
Etoru then gaped his mouth open curiously at Reikiko, shutting up as he listened again. "Distance myself...o-okay...wait!" Etoru looked at her confused. Did she just offer him...to...na that cant be it! Can it? "Ms.Reikiko...? Are you um...offering me training...?" Before she could answer, Etoru squealed into delight. "This is GOING TO BE SOOOO COOOOOL! I can learn that awesome kekakho move or whatever it was called! PHEWWWMMMMMMMMM! BOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH! Wahhhhh.....pew pew pew! I'll be totally unstoppable with that Kawkkekho move!" He put his hands in a triangle and aimed at her. "Keekaaa! Ho!" A tiny ki blast the size of a finger nail hit her arm. Etoru giggled a bit.

She smiled with pity at Etoru as the boy declared Earth wouldn't become a new tyrannical force within the galaxy if it beat the Saiyans. She doubted that was the case, in the end Earthlings often were tainted with certain corrupted thoughts and emotions, and if they could become an united front, then surely as long as they weren't destroyed from within, it would be only a matter of time before their lust for power would blossom. Etoru continued to express his hesitation, clearly incapable of making such a decision just yet, but when the matter about Vipoi and Kaula were raised the Bio-android realized that only one half of her strongest connections were known to the world. Everyone knew about her love for the Saiyan hybrid that was Kaula, but few knew the details of the long history she and Vipoi shared.
"Vi-Poi, or Vivi as I call him is my best friend. We both met shortly after we were created, but a lot of things happened between us. Although people tend to say otherwise, I know that he means well for Earth, and wants to protect it. Nevertheless, I'm uncertain if he has the means to do so in the way he is pursuing."
She still remembered the days when she visited the Big Blue, talking to Vipoi about the future when peace had finally become a reality, back when everything was still so simple and innocent... She sighed softly, closing her eyes while she continued her explanation.
"Kaula is my lover Etoru. We known each other from back when I had grown weak and fragile after an incident, and she decided to take care of me. Ever since then I have both admired and loved her. However, I'd prefer if you avoid trying to peek beneath her skirt in the future, at least she wasn't going full delta force, or was it commando..."
Musing the last bit a little she shrugged her shoulders, and for a moment a shadow crossed her expression. Although she wanted to push the thought aside, she felt a bit uncomfortable, as if she wasn't certain whether she TRULY knew Kaula, or rather the things Kaula considered important. She thought she had grown to understand everything there was to the girl, but then after meeting Letu... the bio-android had started to get her doubts.
"Skirts are only for female beings."
She stated the comment in a matter of fact tone, but unfortunately their conversation for the weird once more when Etoru decided to ignore Hikari's hint and start talking about breasts again. Etoru seemed adamant about getting his own pair, likely unaware of how ridiculous he was sounding in the progress. Hikari didn't even have the chance to provide a proper response, instead declaring in a flustered tone.
"No you can't borrow them..."
However, Etoru had already turned toward the bio-android, saying that he didn't ask her due to his preference in size. The bio-android's gaze lowered a little, humming in amusement, and perhaps partly to defend herself.
"Of course they look smaller, a part of their size is concealed due to my carapace covering most of my body. However, you'd best stick with regular pillows Etoru. Buy a pair in the supermarket, but this sort of pillows is exclusive to girls, and they usually only share those on very rare exceptions. Like when you-"
However, Hikari had seemingly lost had lost her patience, and after marching between the two of them tried to bump her fists onto their heads, more or less in a comedic way.
"That's enough out of you two."
Still, the conversation finally turned toward Etoru seemed interpretering her remark earlier as a suggestion to teach the boy. His excitement about the Kikoho was amusing, but also quite troubling for the bio-android who declared in a harsh tone.
"The Kikoho is not a rattler for a child to play with. My master used to call it a forbidden technique, because using the true power of this attack demands the greatest sacrifice you can make: your own life. That's right, that attack I used earlier was a Kikoho of the lowest capacity, a mere shadow of its true potential. The way you are right now the Kikoho would be far beyond your reach."
She walked past the boy, as if she was rejecting him, but after several steps she stopped, curious what the boy would do after the following words.
"Even my regular training would be gruesome for one like you. You think you'd be ready for it? Perhaps someday it will become your stepping stone into learning the Kikoho. But to learn from me, you'd have to leave behind the chains that bind you, the teachings of your former masters, at the very least until the day you accomplish the things that were the reason you set out on the path of the Crane for."

Reikiko began talking about Vi-Poi, explaining her origin with Kaula and Vi. She claimed they were best friends. Oh! So she had an android best friend too! Neat. She continued talking saying how she nicknamed him Vivi and all. Sounds a lot how Etoru nicknamed Tania, Tani. Etoru tilted his head when she said he was trying to protect Earth, but she was afraid his methods weren't the correct way to do it. Or at least the most efficient way to do it and doesn't have a high amount of success. Etoru wondered which way was that. Becoming President? Who knows.
Etoru's eyes widened when she mentioned Kaula. First, Etoru scrunched his face up in disgust. "Ewww! Icky! I don't get how people can looove each other, that just sounds nasty...wa-wait...you said Kaula was your lover...? OH MY GOD! THAT MEANS MS.KAULA....IS REALLY...A MR.KAULA?!" Etoru gulped. What was going on here?? An awkward chuckle escaped his lips as he scratched his head awkwardly. Well, that's weird. Random. But mostly weird. Of course, Etoru mentioned buying a skirt, but she said they were only for female beings. "...Um...are you sure? Ms.Kaul---I mean Mr.Kaula told me that I should buy a skirt. And considering Mr.Kaula had a skirt on, I guess it's safe to say that skirts are indeeeed for men." With that said, they moved onto the next topic.
Etoru began talking about the 'pillows' again. Hikari seemed super embarrassed, but to Etoru it just looked like she worked up a sweat. Her face was so red! Etoru didn't want to bother her, she didn't appreciate it last time. When Reikiko explained why they looked smaller on her, Etoru let out an 'Oohhh'. "Oh okay I see! I see!" Etoru frowned when she said buy a pair at a super market. "Exclusively for girls...?!" Etoru pouted. That sucked. She said girls rarely shared them which made Etoru frown annoyed. But then he realized he had a few people that were really close! Maeve! Caesi! And Kaula! He'll just ask one of them too share! Before Reikiko finished, Hikari stomped over and bonked their heads. Etoru fell on his rear holding his head sniffling. "O-O-Ow!!!" He rubbed his head fast. "Ouchie Ms.Hikari...w-what was that for!" Etoru winced as he felt a bump forming.
It was then where Etoru got all excited about the Kikoho. Reikiko shushed him and even INSULTED HIM! HOW DARE SHE! WHO DID SHE THINK SHE WA--okay, she could insult him and he wouldn't be able to do a thing about it. "I'm not a baby, and I don't use a rattler! AND! FOR YOUR INFORMATION! I'm more than a child! A-Hmph!" He crossed his arms stubbornly. She said something that shocked him...greatly. "Wait...a m-mere shadow...life? HOLD UP! SO EVEN THOUGH I PUT EVERYTHING I HAD INTO MY LAST ATTACK...YOU HELD BACK?!" Etoru's eye twitched. Should he feel glad, or angry?! Then she said the Kikoho is far beyond his reach! Etoru hopped to his feet glaring at her, frustrated. He shook his fist and began yelling. "HEY! IT IS NOT FAR BEYOND MY REACH! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO YA SNOTTY TAIL EATING MONSTER BULLY MISS! DO you want a piece of m---huh" She continued on and it was obvious she was hinting at training. Etoru had to leave everything behind...? That was a tough choice, but he couldn't wait for Bing to come back any longer. He needed to push forward, carve his own path. Be a hero of his time! This could be his first mark for showing his dedication! "Uh...a p-piece of my HUGS!" Etoru rushed at her leg and attempted to hug her leg, should he succeed, he'd then nuzzle his cheek on her thigh. "Ahahahaa....haaaa...did I say snotty tail eating monster bully miss...? I-I meant! A friendly nature loving riding on the food chain creature miss....a-and did I mention you're the cooooooolest in the universe?" Etoru would then look up with a nervous smile. "So you'll train me....riiiight?! I can leave! No problamo! It'll be hard but, I decided I needed to carve my own path! Good bye Serpent school, hello Crane!"
If Reikiko accepted, Etoru would then grin excitedly. "This is soooo COOOOL! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Now I can keep my promise to Walker in two ways! Training, and forgiving you!" Etoru bounced on his tail a few times before stopping looking up at Reikiko and Hikari. If Reikiko said yes, then that'd be it and he'd be ready to take his leave. "WELL! I'M OFF! When do we start! Who cares! You can find me! I live on the lookout! Plus you can sense my energy! Okay anyways I'm leaving now BYEEEEEEEEEEE!" Etoru would then attempt to jump on Reikiko's head. Etoru's tail would brush against her face. Etoru would then attempt to jump onto Hikari's head, then kick off to fly away. "Bye!!!!!!!!!!"

[PL, since this seems to be wrapping up. I'll just add it to my other threads in TTG once Rei posts, unless Etoru's stopped from leaving.]

Reikiko couldn't help but blink in confusion at Etoru's statement. Did he really just assume that Kaula was in fact a man? The thought had almost caused the bio-android to laugh , but instead she merely shook her head, a pitying smile on her lips as she tried to enlighten the little boy.
"No, Kaula is a female. Feelings like this aren't necessarily exclusive to the opposite gender. Not to mention, if we were to speak about genders I'd likely confuse you even more."
And with that she decided to cease the subject, and fortunately it seemed Etoru shared the thought, seemingly preferring to talk about the prospect of training. At first he was quite annoyed at the fact she said the Kikoho was out of his reach, to the point he had started to throw a childish tantrum, but the bio-android simply ignored it, for he seemed aware of the foolishness of his actions and tried to cover it up with some compliments.
It was clearly about to become a handful to teach the boy, but it would be a necessity if she wanted to carry out her plan. Although she had yet to breathe a word about actual training, it seemed the lad's excitement had reached its peak, for he declared wanting to get ready and left in a hurry, the brushing of his tail against her face causing the corner of her eyes to narrow for a moment. What a silly boy, he likely didn't realize that he had just finished giving her the time she needed to memorize his scent, and that meant escaping from her would be quite a challenge in the future.
"I'll pick you up soon."
Was all Reikiko said as the boy left, and while she observed the boy's departure, Hikari had stepped beside the bio-android, who despite the gentle smile upon her lips and the wave of her hand to say goodbye soon reverted to a more serious and concerned tone.
"What... are you planning Reikiko? You been only speaking of half-truths to Etoru, but I'm worried about you..."
Reikiko lowered her gaze from the sky, her eyes settling upon Hikari, when finally after a moment of silence she smiled at her companion and replied in a more gentle tone compared to what she had been using for Etoru.
"I am planning to create my own path Hikari. I always walked the path defined by others. First I walked the paths of Scargot and the Chimera project, but both of those clearly weren't meant to be. That's why I decided to find an answer my own way. To find out what it means to be Reikiko, to create my own solution, one that is not influenced by the opinions of others."
Hikari seemed a bit confused by the statement, but she soon raised a very solid question.
"But why spare the boy? You could surely have reached a higher state of evolution if you used him as a sacrifice."
Reikiko understood the question, and it was likely out of kindness that Hikari wanted to know why she had spared the boy's life.
"Because Etoru has his uses. He is still raw and yet to be molded into a proper weapon, kind of like the childish personality he possesses. However, he will someday become either a boon for my cause, or a leverage when it comes to dealing with certain 'heroes'."
It was at that point Hikari's gaze sharpened a little, a look of seriousness in her eyes as she asked the bio-android the question that was haunting her thoughts.
"And your cause is..."
The bio-android seemed to not answer right away, instead stepping forwards, and after a few steps she pulled her hands behind her back, a halfway spin being made to face Hikari once more while she declared with a smile.
"To obtain the things I lost."
What could Reikiko mean with that, it seemed Hikari was just as confused, but all the Bio-android did was muse a cryptic chant.
Within the gardens of Avalon children play Peace and prosperity last every day Festival and Parades for all to see Isn't that a beautiful dream?
Hikari's eyes widened in disbelief, a hand raised toward her chest as she whispered softly.
"All this time you're still thinking about our old home?"
However, in response to those words Reikiko's lips curved into a smirk as she continued
Within the golden halls of Valhalla the heroes sing Of battles among kings Glory, rage, power for all May the victor find what he desires In a dream for all.
It was this chant that genuinely confused Hikari, a confusion she worded verbally.
"What does that mean Rei?"
However, all Reikiko did was shake her head, and after giving her a playful wink replied mysteriously.
"I'll tell you in due time Hikari."
And with those cryptic words as a omen for the future, the bio-android prepared her departure.
