[ Thread’s power level: 75,872 ]
It was a rather rainy day on mount Paozu, a place Core didn’t really explore, one of the few left on Earth to be exact. But today was kind off a day were, even in the weirdest way, Core felt like something was calling for him into the mountains, something he had to find, or rather, something inside him wanted to find something here, and he couldn’t fight that feeling away so he decided that he would go search for whatever was drawing him into this dark day, though this place that was so unforgiven to most, the wild life was taking over this place and animals were quite aggressive, though Core’s natural energy was making them aware not to attack him, his presence was too heavy to be ignored after all. Today, Core decided not to wear his heavy clothing, he wanted to just be light for his search, and not wearing those was freeing himself from time to time, it was way more comfortable after all not to have dozens of tons on your back every single time you had to walk somewhere, jump or fly around like the Arcosian always do anyway.
It was after hours of search that Core finally found what he was ‘searching’ for, or at least he though ,as a huge headache stroke him firmly, putting him down quickly as he looked up, he was surrounded by a blue energy, an aura he knew way too much too much. [Are you okay? What is wrong? Is this… this place? ] He would think as the aura formed a hand that layed on Core’s head, giving him a vision, a vision of the past. Core could only hear, as the vision was blurred, but he could see someone, standing in front of him, or rather, standing in front of the person he had a vision from. Core would hear a voice, a soft voice, yet commanding a lot of authority. ‘’ “Could not help but notice you flying all around the mountain. You seem quite strong for one not from this area. Can I ask what it is you are doing here? I can assume you are paying respects to this long dead figure you had stood before their marker.” The voice would say as Core’s vision drifted both in the vision and in real time to a rock, there was an ancient hero’s name written on it, he was standing in the same place as the vision was.
Core would stand back up and clear the memorial that was standing in the middle of an hold house in ruin as the aura would finally shape vaguely in the form of the saiyan he now knew lived in his mind for a long time, since he was born. ‘’ What is this place? Who was that other person?’’ Core would ask to the ghostly figure as it wandered around, like he was looking for something. The saiyan stood her silently for a long time before turning to Core, a vague smile on his ghostly face. ‘’ It is where I first met her… the one I talked to you about…’’ The saiyan would simply say as he would kneel to the memorial and whisper something that wasn’t to be heard, followed by a laugh. ‘’ You brought me to meet her, and you were the one that called upon me out of this world… old friend… I hope you’re doing well in the afterlife…’’ The saiyan would whisper to the memorial, kneeling in front of it with a high respect.
After a while of meditation, Core and Daiki’s attention would be caught by something, a ki-signature approaching. Core would tilt his head at the ki-signature while Daiki would stand back up and smile at the approach of it. He would wait for it to be close enough so he could be heard and would simply say out loud for the presence to hear. ‘’ So you came… master. I am ashamed that you have to see me… in this form…’’ He would say, looking at himself, then back at a point above Core’s shoulder. The young Arcosian would turn himself at well, waiting to see what would come.

She was flying back to Mount Paozu. Her daughter in a sling upon her back as she was bringing her to come and pay respects to a friend of the first Turtle Master. This was a once a month pilgrimage for Ninjin as this old soul deserved the respect she was showing to them. As she flew along her own thoughts could not but float back toward the past and her first ever student. With the return of Namek to the galaxy her mind had begun to wonder what had become of him. As he had vanished shortly before her and Toma had gotten together. ::Daiki… Whatever happened to you. For some reason I can picture you out there in space fighting aliens to protect the little man. Using everything I taught you to the fullest of your extent of power. Yea I think that is what you are doing… ::
She let out a sigh as she was not paying much attention as she flew in toward the mountain. As she neared the spot she slung her child around and cradled in her arms. A voice would echo out from beneath her and she blinked to herself. :: Well think of the devil and he reappears.. Go figure he would be here at the Son grave. :: Smiling widely at the sheer thought of possibly seeing her former pupil made the descent much more enjoyable.
Yet as she dropped through the canopy of trees she noticed the Arcosian standing there. A faint ghost like image of her former student and an Arcosian standing there was what caught her eyes. Her fist tightened as she looked at him. “What is going on here? What happened to you Daiki… and who is that?”
Ninjin’s daughter squirmed as she quickly slung her back around behind her back. She remained at the ready just in case this was something she would have to try and take care of.

Even in his ghostly form, both Core and Ninjin could see a tear running down his energy cheek as he noticed the face of his old master and crush, if there was something he was looking forward to but also fearing, it was seeing his old master once again. The young saiyan saw the baby in her back, a saiyan, no doubt about that, and it was Toma’s, he knew it, which made his heart pinch a little; with all this adventure he had and the thought of seeing her again, he had forgotten that, while friendly to him, he could never fully get his feelings back from her, she had someone else. ‘’ Ninjin… ‘’ Daiki would say as he would let out a sigh. ‘’ Sit up, it’s a very long story with a lot of adventures… it’s so… nice to see you again…’’ The saiyan would simply say, a clear amount of sadness in his voice was hearable.
Core was looking at Daiki’s old master as well, his eyes would widen a bit and his head tilt. ‘’ S-sorry for my lack of manner miss Ninjin, I am Core Stold… and… Daiki lives within me… apparently…’’ Core would say in his polite yet rushed ton, Daiki’s feeling were affection him as well, but not in the same way. ‘’ Your training prepared me for my destiny… I was apparently destined to help the past… my life here… was taken away from me by some sort of god of time… and was given back to me… partially for now at least… by a child…’’ He would say, looking at Core and smiling lightly as the Arcosian would look away. ‘’ More like… by the people that created me… Daiki…’’ The child would answer, seemingly embarrassed by the high esteem Daiki was giving him.
Both the saiyan and the arcosian would get closer to Ninjin, though Daiki would take a step closer and lay a hand gently on her shoulder. ‘’ You remember this, don’t you?’’ He would say as quickly, flashed of Daiki alongside heroes of the past would get into Ninjin’s head, him battling power that had being forgotten, so high that a fracture only of them could be felt by Ninjin, flashed of Daiki battling with those creature would then fade away, showing him training with the forgotten heroes and finally, his death, a peaceful one at the extinct of his lifespan. The last part of the vision Daiki gave to Ninjin would involve Core, it would follow Daiki’s signature attack, the ‘ao no gokucho kyosei’ as it flew away in space, became a well-known sun, and at the end of its life, was collected to create and artificial Arcosian, unknowingly attaching Daiki to him.
Then the flashes stop, Core and Daiki were standing in front of her, the saiyan would lower his head a bit. ‘’ You were the beginning of all this, you prepared me for a destiny that was bigger than me… and I’ve never given you back anything for it… so thanks…’’ The saiyan would whisper.
The arcosian child would be confused, this conversation wasn’t involving him a lot, he would look up to Daiki and poke his side a bit. ‘’ You forgot to mention… you can come back…’’ Core would say, nodding to Daiki a bit as the saiyan did the same. ‘’ Core…’’ Daiki answered, patting the head of the changeling gently, then turning back to Ninjin. ‘’ And i will… i will walk in this world again… but i need your help Ninjin… once more… will you help me?’’ The saiyan would ask, knowing it was a lot and she was probably busy with a thousand things.

“And it is good to see you as well Daiki. It has been far to long. Especially for you it seems….” Speaking softly Ninjin gave him a gentle smile as she felt her daughter squirm a little but then realize that the child was snuggling in tight to catch some sleep. Though the sadness on his voice was something she was not fully expecting. As their last parting had been a good one as she knew him when he left to be attempting to make wherever it was he was going to a better place.
Turning her attention to Core she bowed her head in a proper greeting as he introduced himself to her. To her it was a refreshing change as the last Arcosian she had encountered that was not Gleciar was one that tried to kill her. So a second that was polite and proper was a welcome change. “Pleasure to meet you Core. You say he lives within you? Well I can see through him so I figure he is dead and ephemeral now. So living within someone else is not something new… Though how long ago was all these adventures Daiki?”
She turned her attention back toward Daiki. This was in time to catch the back and forth between the two of them. A light chuckle escaped her lips as the pair acted like brothers to one another. As she felt the ephemeral hand become solid enough to make contact with her shoulder she blinked befpre the visions began to flash within her mind. Brief flashes of images and events bombarded her mind. Staggering she caught herself as she processed all of the visions she had. “That was one hell of a trip Daiki… and one hell of a way to live out your life. You seem to of had a full long life and yet you still clung around with your life energy Which someone wound up within Core then? That a heck of a wild story…”
To Ninjin it was true. She had heard of people claiming to of travelled through time before but to see someone who had done just what she had heard of and yet now was a spirit attached to a modern Arcosian because of Energy left in the expanse of space. It would of blown her mind if she hadn’t just choked it up to random chance. “You can come back? That is something I would not be expecting. Makes sense that you would need help of someone that was close to you. So what is it that your old master can do to assist you Daiki? Just remember that I have limits to what I can and cannot do. As I lost a lot of my powers when I had my twins. I had massive complications and nearly died from it… Was lucky that the doctor was as skilled as they were.”
She was reflecting on the few days leading up to her childrens birth. She had gotten extremely sickly and weak. As if all of her energy was drained away in large chunks in those days. Then came the illness along with the premature nature of the children. It was a perfect storm to drop herself from the heights she had been at at one point. “I will let you know… I cannot transform anymore… In fact I am not even the Turtle Hermit anymore as I gave the title to Zexama because you had vanished when I passed it to her when I first became pregnant. Was the smartest path to do.”

The saiyan would nod lightly as she said it’s been far too long, he had missed her a lot as well, his master didn’t looked changed that much, he would smile back at her softly and lightly, how could he ever stay sad near her, he closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them back and giggles. ‘’ You have no idea… the lifespan of a saiyan is absurd, let me tell you that… but it was worth the wait… if I can come back to this world after all I did in the previous one…I will be the happiest…’’ Daiki would answer to her, now with a wide smile on his face.
Core, the Arcosian, would approach the baby and smile a bit as he poked it’s nose gently, the young changeling giggled a bit and stood back to where he was. ‘’ S-sorry… got carried there… uh… nice to meet you Ninjin! And well, his figure isn’t as dead as you think… he’s pretty full of energy for a two thousand years old ghost!’’ Core would say, looking at Daiki with a light smile before looking back at Ninjin and waving his tail. ‘’ But I’m happy I can help him get back… after all, he looks like a nice guy, and everyone he made me meet was also good.’’ The arcosian would conclude, nodding to him a bit.
Daiki would look at her reaction to his vision that he gave her, it was rather a funny one, but an expected one as well, he had live hell of a live after all and fought a lot of things that were kind of absurd. ‘’ Well… you heard the legend about spirits… that they can’t find rest until they don’t have regrets anymore… that’s pretty much what is happening right?’’ Daiki would say with a chuckle as he looked a bit at the Son’s memorial. [How come everyone has forgotten you buddy…. And how cone there is no Son anymore…] Daiki would then think to himself curiously, rising his shoulder for answer. [ I guess your blood probably runs on Vegeta… the planet that is…] He would answer to himself quite amusingly, he had lived a live rather close to the man, even bonding almost like son and father for a while.
When his old master mentioned that she was ready to help him, he would smile even wider, he was so happy that she was accepting, though he never doubted her about it, he would even blush when she said she was close to him, remembering the time he did kiss her forehead back at Toma’s house after a gravity training, the blush you show by a higher coloration of his cheeks, more of a dark blue. ‘’ T-that’s horrible… I can’t believe how my return would have been if… I came back to found you dead… but a strong woman like you, that wasn’t enough to put you down, I doubt something will ever. Anyway… for me to come back… I need two things not really specific. The first and well… the easiest, is to get Core stronger… and nobody is better at training someone than you. The second, well, a bit more tricky… we need to… uh… ask the god of Earth if we can go to the timeless lookout… the lookout holds a place where space and time’s limits are curved… what we need to do is, flaring both your power and Core’s so my physical body can find his way through the room I’m talking about. Do you think we can do that?’’ Daiki would ask to Ninjin simply.
When she said she couldn’t transform again, Daiki assumed she meant the super saiyan form, which he had felt, she had become weaker and that would make sense that she lost it, the saiyan would nod lightly. ‘’ It’s okay, the turtle school needed someone present to run it, and for your form… well… if you can still train, training with Core could be your way back up, he’s quite the strong Arcosian, and really skillful in term of fight. Training together would put you back, at least closer, to your shape and prime’’ The saiyan would say, making the Arcosian blush as he looked up at Ninjin. ‘’ Eh… if you want to … that is…’’ He would say shyly.

Ninjin was keeping a close eye on Core as he approached her. Yet she was listening to Daiki’s words. It would be nice to have her old friend back, but she had to wonder just how the teenager had changed since the last time they met. “I can imagine. I mean a Saiyan living a long life is normally something that does not happen as most perish in battle in their seventies or eighties from what I have seen. Though I know Mimikku mentioned that my fathers family had an elder that was around a hundred and twenty in age living with them for a few years before their passing. So I am basing my knowledge on that.” Lhin would swat a small fist at the finger hitting it lightly out of reflex after Core poked her nose. Ninjin let out a chuckle as she caught the end of her daughter’s movement. Shaking her head she just smiled widely. “It is nothing Core. Shes a bit of a fighter herself., or should I say I figure she is going to be. She is so active already at her age.”
Shaking her head as she turned back to look at Lhin smiling at her. Lifting her head back her eyes a little serious at Daiki as he mentioned about the spirit not finding rest until they had settled their business but then turning it into a joke brought a laugh from her. Nodding in agreement at him. “You know Daiki I can only imagine what you left undone here in this time. Leave the stove on at home or something?”
Her tone was obviously teasing as she turned back to the monument and she bowed her head for the moment. Taking a few moments to pay her respects before motioning to step aside from the monument. A little look of surprise and yet she nervously chuckled to herself. “You are the second person within a week to ask me for training someone. I swear I am being approached once more and I find it funny and interesting. As for Core I do not know if there is much I could do for him. Other than maybe technique I do not think I could work on him with strength in general. As for the lookout stuff. You will need to speak with Toma about that. Toma knows the Guardian of the Lookout much better then I do. Though I think the Guardian is not on planet at the moment, yet I feel that there are still people watching over the lookout. I think Reikiko and her saiyan assistant is still in the area along with a few others. All of which makes our old powers feel dwarfed.”
She hoped that her warning would be taken seriously. As there where few people on the planet that she did not want to cross. Especially since her loss of power than before. This entire experience was humbling for her and she was going to continue acting as such.

Daiki would giggle lightly, one hundred and twenty years, yeah, that was about it, maybe a little more though. The saiyan would nod lightly in agreement. ‘’ That’s about right… it was rather long when I got too old to fight… but I had some nice things, a nice house and I honestly kept training until I was too old to be able to do so… and my dream was to create a new star among all of them in the sky… apparently I succeeded and it was used to create what would bring me back… which is a rather fun coincidence that I’m going to simply accept, after all, I didn’t asked for it but I sure am glad it happened!’’ Core would say happily as he petted Core on his head’s bio-gem.
When the little child of Ninjin would punch Core’s finger, he would giggle a bit and bump her fist delicately, he had seen something similar done through friends before and found it funny, he would then listen to Ninjin and shake his head. ‘’ It is nothing, she is adorable! She looks like me when I was a little baby… only… less horns and more human skin’’ Core would say with a little laugh, babies were really cute and it was rather amusing to see one as playful as Lhin.
Daiki would laugh at Ninjin’s joke about the stove and would look at her in the eyes while laughing, and then he stopped and took a lightly more serious look. ‘’ Nah, maybe more like not saying goodbye to those I loved and everything, not telling you my feeling seriously, but at the time I didn’t understood them and now… well... a bit too late and I think you figured them out a while ago, wasn’t too well hidden after all but you know, little things…’’ Daiki would say in his amused voice, a lifetime back there was more than enough to understand what he was feeling for Ninjin, and even if it wasn’t completely gone, it wasn’t as strong as before, mostly because now she had a husband.
When Daiki heard about her unable to train Core to become stronger alongside her warning about the lookout, which would make a chill pass through his spine lightly and look away. ‘’ Well… for the training, actually there is a lot you can teach to Core, he is strong, he had the knowledge, but he lacks of technique, sure he knows how to analyze weakness and he’s strong enough to counter them, but he has not a real fighting style, which maybe the only thing he’s lacking to be at his full potential. Also, a couple of training spar and you could get closer to the power you and well... to the super saiyan state you seem to miss a lot.’’ Daiki would first say, then sighted deeply. ‘’ As for Reikiko and her assistant… I guess we’ll have to wait unto the guardian of the lookout comes back… I doubt the bio-android will let me come back to life…’’ Daiki would admit, then pondered a bit.
Core on his side, was more than enjoying g the pleasant company of Ninjin’s daughter, which would make him understand why was Phae loving them so much and trying to keep on with the conversation as well, he would look up at both of them and smile a bit. ‘’ Anyway, we have to time to think about it and find a way right? But we do have to know something, if you are willing to show your power were and when we need, the other things you can to, well… we’d be glad to have you on our side on this quest… you seem like a very nice person and I feel that the more we are, the more we’ll be able to solve this without having to fight one bit’’ Core would say in his optimistic voice.

She smiled at Daiki’s spirit as she listened to him speak about what had all happened to him. Bringing a hand to her chin she tapped it lightly. “You can tell me stories one of these days Daiki. Once you get your body back that is. You can come to the Southern Islands where I set up my home and you can tell all the stories about the life you lived already in the past. Who knows what all that you know about the past that has been lost to history.”
She was hoping that she did not sound condescending toward him as she was genuinely honest that she had a drive to learn what exactly he knew as fact. What had all happened and possibly if he knew just of the heritage of the Saiyan’s most storied of traditions and legends. Then again he could of gone so far back that people where fighting with sticks and primitive firearms for all she knew. “Well Core I have never known a child to look anything but innocent in this phase. Though I have heard from a few of my non fighting friends that things just get worse as they age… With both parents being Super Saiyans might make things crazy around the home…”
Shaking her head she chuckled to herself as she looked back between the two of them. Catching the look he gave her made her smile toward him. She had come to terms about how her first student had become romantically interested in her without her really doing much of anything. Though that had helped push him past her and to heights of strength she herself had never imagined possible. So in a way it had helped him and yet hindered him at the same time. It seemed though that he had found a peace about it all in his time away. “Well if Core is looking for some fine tuning I can do that. I mean look at how my fine tuning training helped you attain many stages of things that you did not even know was possible. So if Core would be fine with it I would not mind doing the training so long as he listens as I feel that his Ki even his current state is above my current limit. Though I know of our past with her but I have not spoken with her in a long time. Kami knows what I am to her in her mind now that I am no longer something of a rival to her. I am more like an insect to her.”
Ninjin would turn to look at Core as he asked if she would help them and she nodded. “So long as my babysitter doesn’t mind watching the kids while we use Toma’s gravity chamber to train within I do not think there will be any issues Core. Gathering up some strength to be ready for things in the future is always a good thing. Though I wonder how it is that Core wound up with your spirit within him there Daiki. I mean you explained away the whole star thing being used to create him but I am a little confused still about the entire thing on the whole.”
Shifting her weight from foot to foot she was obviously curious about how it all came to pass and about whatever stories Daiki had from his lifetime of experience.

The young saiyan would blush, if at least he could in this form, at his old master’s offer, of course he wanted to tell someone about a lot of stories, but he didn’t expected Ninjin of everyone to actually be interested by them. Daiki knew why he fell in love with the saiyan hermit in the first place; he knew it perfectly well, she was a perfect mix of fun, serious and interest, alongside a lot of other things, she was one hell of a woman he wouldn’t to get on the bad side of, which he was rather doing well apparently. ‘’ Yeah, I can’t wait for that, if you’re really interested in that, I have some story that will blow your freaking mind… like this time I’ve met mister former master and founder of the turtle school… a really nice old man… though… he had some special personality traits… you wouldn’t want to meet him I think’’ Core would say in a rather joking ton, thinking about the old man.
Core would look at Ninjin as she addressed him, looking away from her daughter which he agreed to what she said lightly, though not really knowing a lot of child himself, he wasn’t really advanced in the domain of child’s and breeding, which was maybe the only thing he never had classes on back at his lab. ‘’ Eh, I don’t think the parents are the only things that make a child’s personality grow, I was raised by greedy scientist bent on fame and glory, and… in Daiki’s words to be exact, I’m just an adorable little sweet-seeking mini-Arcosian that can transform and fight pretty well.’’ Core would say as Daiki laughed a bit, thinking about the time back at the café were he said that made him chuckled a bit. ‘’ You got to admit, you’re into those hot chocolate more than the average child!’’ Daiki would simply answer as he held Core in his arm for a moment.
Daiki would sigh lightly as he heard the comparison Ninjin made as to what she was to Reikiko, which wasn’t really important, but he would go and poke her forehead gently with his ghost finger. ‘’ Hey there, I do not allow you to compare yourself to an insect, you’re master Ninjin of the turtle school, you might not be the master still, but you were still a god damn good one, now you just need to go back in the bath and everything will turn out fine and you’ll be as strong, no, even stronger than before, just give it time and work!’’ Daiki would say to cheer her up a bit, not liking to see her talking badly about herself.
The changeling at the same time was following the conversation, a lot of names were coming out, but not one Core knew to be honest, he would simply follow the discussion and make sure not to leave any important detail. The Arcosian would then giggle a bit at the mention of a gravity chamber and would nod lightly. ‘’ I hope we can work together, get both stronger and bring our friend Daiki back right Ninjin-sama?’’ Core would say in his childish confident, making it look like it was going to be the easiest thing ever. ‘’ On the other hand, I am not quite sure how my spirit was bound to Core…I think it was more of less a trick of an old friend of mine… the one that brought me back… mister god of time itself… maybe he gave me a second chance… after all… I talked to him a lot about everyone here…’’ Daiki would say, scratching the back of his head, a bit shy about his ignorance.
The saiyan’s ghost would then pant a bit, his light was fading away rather slowly, but surely. ‘’ Oh my… already…’’ He would tell himself before looking back at Ninjin and smiling widely. ‘’ I have to go charge my battery again… I’ll be watching master…would you… allow me a ghost hug?’’ Daiki would say, his face showing his more childish side he always had and kept, he would also open his arm a bit and shine a bit brighter, making his body more or less physical.

“Let me guess the very vague stories pieced together from the oldest journals of the early masters of the Turtle School speak of a lecherous teacher who taught Grandmaster Krillin are true. Cause it would not surprise me if they where correct as to me it would just be amusing more than anything.” Her words where spoke from experiences of reading some of the most degraded journals saved in the Schools deepest part of the Records Vault. These where just scattered half and quarter pages that where stories of the fifth descendant students of Krillin who spoke about stories given to them about the Grand Turtle and the one who gave the title of Turtle Hermit to the Grandmaster of the school. Though with Core’s spoken words she brought herself back to the forefront of her memories and back to the present day.
She nodded toward Core. The mention of hot chocolate made her laugh lightly. She was a lot like that as when she travelled inside some of the higher elevations and latitudes she would drink a lot of the drink. More so as a way to stay warm than anything else. “That is true… I just got this gut feeling that little Lhin there is going to be following momma into the role like I did. Call it mothers intuition on her. That and me and Toma have already come to agreement that we will let our children decide what they want to do with their lives. Despite that both Lhin and her brother seem fascinated when we spar. Watching our every movement and strike. Almost like they are studying us already.”
The ghost finger felt odd touching her forehead as she blinked a couple of times. This was unusual for him to be so forward with her. If she had to guess the time away had been a great thing for him as well. Allowing Daiki time to grow into the man that he was in spirit form before her. “Someday I will reclaim that strength… It is just when I reclaim that strength others will of outpaced me by leaps and bounds once more Daiki. I am a teacher not a front line fighter. My job is to train you and others to become those front line fighters and that is all. You and the others of the Turtle School where to be the Iron Wall of Defense for this planet and yet it seems I failed as we have had to rely on the BBA and outside help when the planet was being attacked on two separate occasions recently.”
Shaking her head Ninjin would shrug as she cleared her mind of the thoughts of failure. Noticing the diminishing light coming from Daiki she blinked a couple of times. When he mentioned having to recharge his battery she nodded at him. “Good idea Daiki. Do not waste all your strength on my account. It was great to see you again. Even if it was an ethereal visit and not a real flesh and blood meeting. And a ghost hug? Sure I am not opposed to it.”
Smiling she would reach over and embrace the figure of her former student. The slightly hardened ki making it easy to know when to stop the pressure she had inside her hug. Releasing him after a few moments she backed up. “I will give Core the way to get ahold of me should you ever want to talk again Daiki. If things come up I can have Amalia watch the kids and meet the two of you on our own. Though I think Toma would love to meet you now that you are back.”

Daiki would laugh a bit, so there was remaining of history after all, he would look at her with an highly amused look and would then nod slowly. ‘’ Yup, all true, this man was a pervert from head to toe. But he was a nice guy in the whole, and… you know about Krillin? I wasn’t expecting a name to survive so long… poor guy, living in a world were practically everything that didn’t come from Earth could beat him down without really having to try… he might just be the more straight up brave person I have ever seen… it takes a lot of guts to go and try to help against powers that are so far beyond yours…’’ The young saiyan would say with a wide smile on his face, remember the little guy’s tough choices he had to make every single time there was a threat in the world.
Core would look at Ninjin with bright shiny eyes, she was speaking with such confidence it was rather funny to look at, especially talking about her kids. Core would look at her daughter and would wave his finger around only to poke her nose. ‘’ So you’re going to be a strong girl uh? Can’t wait to see that~’’ The Arcosian would say in before letting out a soft giggle and turning to Daiki before jumping on the saiyan when he heard that there was two attack on Earth, he knew only about one in the whole, he would turn to Ninjin quickly. ‘’Two attacks? There was the attack from the saiyans, who attacked the other time?’’ Core would ask rather curiously, this was some important information he could gather for Beryl maybe.
Daiki would shake his head, she was reducing her to nothing again, he would simply sigh deeply and look at her seriously in the eyes. ‘’ Ninjin, it doesn’t matter if we have to rely on something like the BBA for a while, but you have to continue training, you have to push yourself and others like you always did. If you rely on the BBA to fight off evil, then you have to keep up, train, and then when they’ll fail, and they will eventually, you’ll be there to back them up and take over the job once more… If I would have stayed, there wouldn’t been such a problem so it’s kind of my fault as well… if I’d have stayed with you and trained with you more and more, you, me and Toma would be the true protection of this planet… and I’m sorry… but I didn’t had the choice to come back…’’ Daiki would say, hiss ton was sad, after all he had done, he forgot that Ninjin could feel guilty about this kind of things. ‘’ It is not your fault..’’ Daiki would conclude.
When he started to fade, the warmth of Ninjin’s living body would make him slowly close his eyes and fade in her embrace, when Ninjin backed up, there would be nothing left from who she was hugging a second ago, only a single sentence still sort of floating in the air. ‘’ See you again soon, master’’ Daiki’s voice would then flow away like a gust of wind.
The young Arcosian, who was looking this whole time, he would look lightly. ‘’ He looks… a bit in pain… but I think seeing you has cheered him up a bit, he looked more vigorous than I ever saw him! Now I have not to fail him and get stronger so… we can bring him back! Right Ninjin?!’’ Core would say, looking up at her with a bright smile filled with the hope of youth. ‘’ Both of us will get him back on Earth in this time! And… uh… I’m sure this Toma guy can help us right? He looks strong! The more we are, the more efficient we become and the faster Daiki will be back!’’ Core would say, showing his hand up for a high five, something he recently saw two friend-looking person trying to cheer themselves up.

“Then I was a coward Daiki… Cause compared to him I stayed hidden away clutching my children to myself hoping Vipoi and Rei could handle all of the invaders… Heck I felt my step mother out there fighting against super saiyans but she was but a gnat compared to them. Yet there she was out there fighting… It was after that I decided to try and get back into fighting shape. Lets just say it has been slow going.” She clasped her hands together and wrung them ever so slightly. This was a nervous tick she had picked up shortly before he had left for his grand adventures that she didn’t know if he had seen it before.
Lhin punched at Core once more with her short stuby arms as he asked her if she was going to be strong giving him a slight flex of her muscle as well. Though most of it was involuntary the timing was impeccable. At Core’s chuckle Lhin would let out the child laugh and Ninjin would raise her head and smile at the interaction. “The other was something my step mother told me about. When Realigner Red appeared and went after the planet. It was a local disaster on Earth from what she would tell me… Though I feel that there was not a whole lot that could be done with it. Somehow that resolved itself in time.”
Shrugging as she had no idea how that had ended but it had to of been peacefully resolved. At that time she had been indisposed of and was recovering from the childrens birth. “I wish you had stayed. It would have been good to have another hand against the incoming tide. I just have this bad feeling swelling within me that there is some darkness coming. A darkness that I do not see a flickering flame being able to withstand. I… just have this dread feeling within myself.”
Her words where fast but then they slipped away as she noticed Daiki’s spirit vanish into the ether. Feeling a few tears well up for him she kept the smile on her face as she kept herself in check as she was happy to see him once more. Even if it was just the ghost of her former student. “I could feel that he was in pain as well. He wanted to say a lot more but he just did not have the time. I hope I am able to help him be restored. Though I wonder why it is that he was taken through time as he was and now given the chance to be reborn. I just hope we are going to be able to do this for him. To have him back around would be a good thing. As if my husband can help or not I do not know. He is off planet at the moment so I cannot speak with him.”

The young saiyan, even though he had vanished, could still hear Ninjin’s words while he was recharging in Core’s body, it would bring him a huge feeling of sadness, hearing her voice’s ton, she felt so sad and lost, how could he ever abandon her to go down to a state like this? Daiki would curl up in his mental state he was allowed to live in and would hug his knees, counting the time he’d have to wait until he came back and would finally be able to help her again, be beside her for real and help her with all those problems he had forgotten long ago while living in the past quite literally.
The young Arcosian was listening to Ninjin’s word about the attack he knew nothing about, the red realigner uh, he would have to keep that name in mind if it ever came out so he could react to it quickly and maybe help with the threat of if it ever comes back. Hearing that it resolved itself in time, Core would nod lightly. ‘’ Glad it did, it’s always bad when you have many civilians dying… the loss of live is always something hard, I have the chance not to have seen it with my own eyes… but I can see some people felt more sadness than I can even imagine..’’ Core would admit, pondering a bit.
Daiki would hear once more that she wished he would have stay, which would re-open an old wound in his chest, a wound he though long gone, but apparently wasn’t so, he would simply hide his face, he had abandoned her, simple as that, and even if he didn’t had the choice, he felt guilty for it. The young saiyan would simply fall asleep in his mind state, finally able to recharge his energy.
Core would himself tilt his head, a dread feeling that something dark was coming; an event so important was near happening? There was only one thing Core could imagine would be endangering the Earth like that. ‘’ The saiyan solar empire? Yeah… I feel that too… I heard that they loss while attacking Earth a while ago… and saiyan aren’t the kind of person that surrender that easily… I’m pretty sure they’ll come back… and we have to be ready…’’ Core would say, looking at the sky, he could already imagine the mother ship of the saiyan in the sky.
The Arcosian would raise his shoulder at Ninjin’s question about why was Daiki taken through time that much, Core didn’t knew at all, but he thought that Daiki just had a friend above them who was making sure he didn’t stole his whole life like this. ‘’ You will be able to help him, don’t worry Ninjin. And I can’t wait to see him for real, as for your husband, well, I guess there is probably a way he’ll come back, then I’m sure he would help us…’’ The Arcosian would say, smiling widely as he offered high hand for a high five to Ninjin. ‘’ Don’t worry Ninjin, we will save Daiki together!’’

“It does happen. It happens a lot more than people want to admit to here on Earth. There is a reason that I live far away from most population centers of Earth. Far enough away that the destruction wrought upon the masses do not directly impact me and I have time to gather a counter attack if we have to have one. If that makes any sense to you Core.” Shaking her head after she explained all of this to Core she rubbed the side of her head lightly. This would be a mannerism that Daiki would remember from their time together. It was whenever she was starting to get a really bad headache. When Core mentioned the Saiyan Empire she nodded in agreement.
“I am afraid of what they will do inside of their next attack upon the Earth. As over half of the warrior that we had that day are gone from this planet. Nowadays the Earth would be overwhelmed if not for two strong people that deter the leader of the Empire… My cousin from invading once more. Kami help us if either of them decide to leave as the Empire has numbers and could overwhelm our greatest hopes of defense with just sheer numbers.” She spoke softly and yet seriously as she focused on the hands in front of her. As she knew she had to get stronger in order to defend her family and her home from those that came to Earth. As the last attack a lot of the forces where below or just near Super Saiyan in power that would mean this time she was certain her cousin would whip them into being Super Saiyans in order to make the fight a much greater one.
“I think we will be ready… The issue about us being ready is will there be others that are ready as well? Will there be others standing there on the front lines with us when they descend once more and will they fight with us? That is the main question Core. You will need to find as many people that would willingly assist in defending Earth and train with them as I feel the Empire is drilling their troops in this moment to create a golden army…” She spoke out with seriousness dripping from her every word. As for her she just had this feeling that the incoming battle would be a hard one. One that ones body will need to be steel in order to fight inside of. When Core mentioned being able to bring back her friend one last time she smiled and nodded.
“Of that I have no doubt. Daiki was a help in West City. I can only imagine how much of a help he would be nowadays.”

The young Arcosian would look over at his friend’s master while she talked about, it was truth that destruction was something you’d want to flee, but doing it literally? He didn’t though humans would do that, but he did though he wouldn’t be that different, he wasn’t the kind of person to simply witness destruction, he would have two choice, first, he would jump in and try to stop it, and if he was totally unable to do anything that could help, he would run away from it, like Ninjin was doing. Approving with a nod of his head, he would spoke in a gentle voice. ‘’ That’s what I would have done… you don’t have to be ashamed about it… you’re a defender of justice, people like us, when confronted to an unstoppable force and become worthless, are unable to stand there and watch someone else do their job…’’ Core would simply say in answer to Ninjin’s speech about why she was living far from civilization.
While listening to Ninjin about the saiyan solar empire, Core would raise his non-existence right eyebrow; Ninjin was the cousin of the empress of the saiyans? That was rather odd, considering Ninjin looked nothing like a saiyan; he would tilt his head in a bit of a curious manner. ‘’ You are the saiyan empress’s cousin? That’s … quite funny… I could swear you were human… so I guess you’re a hybrid right? Interesting… And I personally think the Earth will be ready should the saiyan attacks, there is a good number of strong people, ready to protect their planet Earth, including me… if the Saiyan empire is to attack, there will be resistance from us… and from you too I think.’’ Core would say, some kind of question to Ninjin. ‘’ I doubt you’d let your planet be attack right?’’ Core would say with a kind smile, trying to bring back the Ninjin full of courage he felt like Daiki knew long before.
Core would smile at Ninjin’s pessimist and would wave his finger in front of her from right to left amusingly. ‘’ They won’t expect our strong defense, they don’t know how strong this planet really is, it’s defender won’t let themselves be beaten by a couple of angry humanoid, we are worth better. And if I have to attack their ship in space to get them on ground so everyone else can fight… I won’t let my new adoptive planet go down… as she didn’t let me…’’ Core would say in a voice full of hope, the Arcosian would hover lightly to Ninjin and pat her on the shoulder. ‘’ We will stop this invasion should it come… you don’t have to worry… just to be ready when it comes… and if the luck Is on our side, Daiki will be on our side as well before it comes..’’ Core would say with a wide smile on his face.
Hearing about his inner-friend’s feat, Core would widen his eyes a bit. ‘’ He protected a city with you? Wow… that’s cool! How?! Can you tell me?’’ Core would ask, his eyes were shining with innocence brightly toward Ninjin.
