As Etoru's punch soared through the air, some red head jumped in front of it. Etoru's eyes widened as he tried to pull back his punch, but it was far too late for that. His punch sent her skidding across the lookout. Etoru landed back and looked at her surprised before he averted his stare to the ground giving a bit of an 'ashamed' or 'sorry' type expression. However, he was still to conflicted upon hearing Bing's death to really bother saying a thing. Etoru didn't feel sorry for Toma though, and was still holding his grudge for what he said. Even if he didn't mean it. I mean, you don't just say things like that. Clenching his fists, rage could still be seen in his eyes. That was before Reikiko's energy flared and she told him to stand down. He flinched and maybe even jumped a little, as she told him to stand down. Etoru looked at her annoyed and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something and debate, but no words came out so he just frowned and hung his head. Then she said something that surprised him. 'Sanctuary of my father'. Those words caused Etoru to blink and give Reikiko a confused stare. What did she mean by that? Surely a Kami's daughter would know better than to eat people...unless the kami ate people himself...Reikiko began to explain reasoning to Toma. Etoru watched frustrated. He didn't even know what was going on anymore. This whole thing was really annoying. Things got a bit more interesting when Reikiko threatened to kill him if he tried to go for Kami again. Etoru's face got a bit more serious as he watched until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Etoru craned his neck up and looked back to see Hikari behind him. Etoru's eyes widened at the words she spoke. The Kami adopted her? No wonder she's acting like this. Etoru frowned. "But Bing had the means to become Kami." Pointing at Toma he frowned annoyed. "This clown doesn't." Looking back up at his companion's....companion, he nodded. "But I know what you mean..."That's when Maeve came in. Her voice stern. She looked pretty angry and frustrated. Etoru watched as she began ranting at the warriors that gathered. When she looked him him, he averted his eyes to the ground giving out a 'hmph'. The situation keeps getting 'better' and 'better' it seems. When she mentioned Walker, Etoru's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the demoness. "And look what Walker's idea would have gotten us. Bing's dead, which means attacking now would be harder for us to defend against another invasion. Destroying planet Vegeta means no more soldiers to invade." Etoru never averted his gaze this time, making his point clear. When she tried to make him remember what she told him a few months back, Etoru's expression never changed. His face was filled with hate and anger towards the queen and anyone affiliated with her. When she said if we wanted him to recognize us, Etoru replied coldly. "Bing's dead. What does it matter." Clenching his fists tightly, he glared at her. "And that's why I'll make it right! Just you WATCH! I'll....I'll take down Queen Zucceta myself! She'll pay for what she did!" Etoru's hand began to bleed from how hard he clenched his fists, blood dripping down to the white tiles of the platform. It was at that moment, Toma yelled out at Etoru. Calmly, Etoru's cold gaze fell on Toma. He didn't flinch or change his expression one bit. Etoru scoffed. "How dare I hurt a comrade? One, she jumped in the way idiot. She hurt 'herself'. And don't mention yourself because I don't think of you as a comrade." Etoru folded his arms, never averting his glare. "Two. At least I attacked 'someone' unlike you hiding all the time." Suddenly, he began to charge a Kamehameha. Etoru never flinched a bit. He stood in his spot. Firing right off the bat wouldn't get him anywhere. His power wouldn't be very high and the distance between them would give Etoru more than enough time to transform. Besides, Hikari was behind him too. There was no reason to flinch. Maeve seemed to calm him down which made Etoru roll his eyes. "Please. I'm not scared of a coward." Articho's comment didn't really phase Etoru. If it was his normal usual self, he'd probably lash out a rant towards the warrior. However, Etoru simply stood there, eyes watching Toma leave. Then Vi-Poi arrived. The android brought donuts, which made Etoru to debate whether or not he should just blast the donuts. The child decided against it seeing no reason to. "I'll pass." Was all Etoru said before he crossed his arms turning around. Ninjin Nedrag your up |

As she felt herself slide across the tiles of the Lookout she felt her head become groggy and swimming. She recognized this feeling and she shook her head after she stopped on the floor. She was pushing herself up with her forearms. Such a state for the former Grandmaster but she had not thought about it logically and now she was most certainly paying the price for it. She had managed to get herself back up to a slightly staggered state when a voice boomed outward around the Lookout and she placed a hand onto the side of her head. The voice echoed within her concussed head as she noticed the footsteps beside herself and she felt the ki of Maeve kneel down beside her. “Thanks… Kid packs a much larger punch then I thought.” Reaching up her hand clasping with the more dragon like hand of Maeve as she was helped back to her feet albeit a little unsteadily. She waved her hand toward Toma as she caught herself. “I am fine Toma. Do not worry about me.” Despite the words she knew she was not really all that well off as Etoru had caught her quite well even though not the initial target of his anger. She had been honestly surprised by him and his own strength. By the time she felt her head beginning to clear Toma was leaving the platform and taking off. However she did not leave as she noticed that Vi-Poi had arrived. The fact that the leader of the BBA was that stealthy was something she admired as he could move and no one would be able to sense him when he would head toward them. The words of Maeve’s closeness and the feelings about Bing’s death just seeped off pain that she felt and could understand completely. As she would assume she would feel should something happen to Toma she would not be so calm in reaction as Maeve was. She was a calm picture amongst this tempest of energy atop the lookout. Yet Ninjin could not help but feel that as soon as the others left she would not be this calm demeanor anymore. Glancing around everyone as she bowed her head in thanks to Articho with his concern for her. She would be remiss to say that this was the first time she had been concussed as such but she was not going to let herself be deterred even with Toma’s departure. “I agree with Miss Maeve… Now is not the time to just fall into the infighting that could doom us should they return. I can say that I never had the pleasure to meet Bing in person but considering the emotions shown here today he has touched many a persons life here. Each one of you in a different way… Yes we should grieve for him but yet we must honor him… Honor him through our.. actions.” She would speak up loud enough across the platform as she still held a hand to her head. Glancing between each person that still stood there. Her own eyes going between them. There was no way she was not going to remain her despite her husbands leaving so abruptly. Turning to Maeve she gave her almost a knowing nod as if she was trying to just thank her once more and yet tell her that she partially understood the pain. Turning her gaze toward Etoru she smiled at the young saiyan. “You got a good punch. There is no need to feel sorry for it. I dove in front out of instinct to protect my husband Etoru. No matter how much of… unsubtle and a lunkhead that he is… You wondered why it was that he was never there to assist in any of the invasions? It was he was protecting his family instead of heading out to the battlefields of the planet. The battlefields are not a place for those thatmight not have their full mind into the fight before them. As if they do not then they will wind up passing to the Afterlife. Plus if we went off to kill the saiyan homeworld then are we any better than the SSE? If he had succeeded we would of done nothing but play into the hands of my cousin and her insane plan. She was offworld at the time so we would not of dealt any sort of real blow to her machine of war… Instead we would of played right into her hands.” She cared little if anyone was actually paying attention to her she just had to get these words off her chest toward Etoru and anyone else who was listening. Turning to Maeve she would whisper to her something that was for her ears only as she swayed a little but caught herself. Ninjin would not be leaving the lookout as she wanted to see just how this would all play out. Her small bit was said as she would just stand there as best she could and listen to the others.. { Defrosch Your up} |

'What a waste of time...' Folding his arms, Defrosch looked on, mostly drowning out the aggression and tense chatter that came from everyone's reactions. What sort of fool would honestly expect anything but negativity from such intentions? Why would someone that considers themselves a friend to someone, suddenly want to take their place as if it meant nothing? Defrosch silently simmered off to the side. Toma made a good judgement in leaving. Had he stayed, there would've been more to deal with than a few angry and sad warriors... 'Just what was that jackass thinking?' Defrosch was set to space out pretty hard, and he would have if a certain swords-woman had not appeared among them with a sky-rending roar, ordering the warriors to cease their bickering. The Arcosian only turned his head slightly to see her, and only vaguely listen to her speech. Of course, he wouldn't disagree with all what she said, in fact, had he been in any better of a mood then he would've said much the same thing (besides his stance on Toma's actions). He tilted his head, unsure of how to speak up otherwise, but he had a feeling there was something that needed to be said. "Y'know... Losing oneself to grief or fear is, as you say, a path into the abyss..." Defrosch closed his eyes, letting out a sigh. Emotional talk was rather hard, but it had to be done. "But not acknowledging, or even bottling up feelings of these levels will result in the same outcome.."Defrosch glanced over at Etoru. The youngster's rebuttal to Maeve's speech was so short sighted and impudent that if Defrosch wasn't thinking at least somewhat straight he would very likely attempt something ridiculous. However, he had to be up front with the boy. "What matters, Etoru, is that we honor his memory. The things he taught us, and the times we shared. We are well within our right to be angry, sad, lost, or whatever else it is we are feeling. I know that you care for him- and I likely cannot fathom how much- but you are not the only one that did. So please; do not go into this blindly. Mark my words that wicked beast of a queen will pay dearly for this and all other vile deeds she has committed." Defrosch walked over to Etoru, with a concerned sigh he spoke to him further. "You are a brave and kind person Etoru, but if you rush... We run the risk of losing you as well. You have great potential, and I hope you won't waste it."The arrival of another person caught the Arcosian's attention; it was that of Vi-Poi, someone that he had intended to speak with at some point regarding his earlier findings about the 'Z-Fighter' name and related rumors. The offer of donuts was nice too. At the very least a small snack could stop things from getting any worse. Unfortunately Etoru wasn't in the mood. Defrosch scooted over to Vi-Poi with a wave. "Uh, hey. Got anything with caramel in it? That sorta thing always calms my nerves... Maybe save something for Etoru in case he changes his mind, yeah?"

Post by Reikiko on Mar 29, 2016 13:02:03 GMT
If Reikiko had been annoyed before, then she was now on the verge of being royally pissed. Toma's fall to rage had briefly caused a curious reaction from the bio-android when she watched the man seemingly charge up one of the Turtle-school techniques, but as soon as new arrival came in the form of the dragon-like lady he calmed down. It almost reminded her of a certain ascended super saiyan.
"Ridiculous, one moment you're talking about heroism and doing what a hero needs to do, and then you're about to lash out at a child who acted out of grief? Pathetic."
She looked with a hint of disgust at the Saiyan before addressing Maeve.
"I'm uncertain what bridges you are talking about, bridges are the embodiment of bonds. Right now most of you don't have such a thing with me. In the end I'm more than aware of the fact our 'heroes' distrust me. I guess that's an understandable matter due to the type of being I am."
She smiled wryly when suddenly a rather unexpected presence arrived. The blue-haired android caused her eyes to narrow as she walked over toward him, judging from her expression a clear look of anger making it clear there was little to no good about to follow.
"You again? First the moon, then this. Are you stalking me or something? I ALREADY TOLD YOU I WOULDN'T EAT ANYONE!"
The last words were accompanied by an angry shout as her tail swished forwards, but instead of the expected stab toward Vipoi it went into a arch and poked the apple danish with the tip of her tail.
"Do you think I'm going to ascend from absorbing a pastry?! BAKA!"
Yet after all was said and she turned around Reikiko's lips moved softly, whispering something the android would have likely heard.
"Thank you Vivi..."
And with those words, and the danish dangling from her tail she marched back toward the temple, briefly turning a final glance at Maeve.
"Your words, there might be some truth to it. However.... I can't help but wonder if they are truly yours or 'borrowed'."
and with those words Reikiko walked further inside, heading toward the library unless stopped.
(If she isn't stopped Reikiko will be at the library, so feel free to skip me unless someone chased her, or stopped her)

Maeve lowered her head as her words seemed to help very few people. Etoru's words had easily stung the most but Defrosch and the one who must have been Toma's lover seemed to have somewhat of a handle on it. The strange red headed warrior was an unknown to her though the arcosian always seemed like a good sort. She had always seen a willingness to protect and fight for justice within him despite the fact they hadn't really talked much in their time protecting the blue marble together. He was generally an old salt in a youth's body so his harsh way of speaking was to be expected. Although, she could hear a twinge of pain in his voice as well while he tried to calm the furious boy.
She also couldn't help but reflect on the words of the biological android known as Rei. Despite her typical haughty and aggressive tone towards the brave people who tried their best to protect the planet she had said something that was more than just condescending noise to the dragoness. It was her last comment that was directed squarely at her. The strange chimeric creation accused her of 'borrowing' words in her effort to help alleviate the situation that had formed. Whether or not that was true was something even Maeve was unsure of but she couldn't just leave things on that note. She had to say something...
"Perhaps Rei... Or perhaps my husband to be may have left an impact far stronger than either of us realize. There is truth in the words I speak however, I know that for certain. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge that or go by your own assumptions is ultimately up to you though." The dragoness simply said as she turned her back to her and instead faced the remaining people.
She wanted to say something more, something to fix this mess but she couldn't find the words. Her heart felt heavy and seeing everyone else suffering only weighed her down more.
She blinked a few times as the intense scent of something sweet hit her nose seconds before a package of donuts lazily drifted her way and bumped lightly into her shoulder. She looked down to the offering of food as it hovered near like it was trying to get her attention. The varying scents of chocolates creams and fruit caused her stomach to do a flip. She shook her head before she looked up to see the effeminate android who had come to the lookout to see what was going on. Her eyes widened with realization as she suddenly recognized the young man, and upon taking a donut covered in powdered sugar (despite her weariness she didn't want to seem rude!) she'd approach him.
"You...I know you from...The television." She simply said looking him over almost as if she were sizing him up. "You are the one who seeks to lead this world, to unite it's people. To know of this place must mean you..." She paused, a memory hitting her suddenly as her headfins shot up in alarm. "Wait! Of course you knew Bing! You were there during the invasion! I remember seeing you do battle with the queen!" She paused blushing for a moment as she looked aside.
"I apologize, I should introduce myself... I am Maeve of the Rakshasa Clan. Bing was my fiance." She explained offering the hand that wasn't holding the sugary treat within it.

Post by Articho Reville on Apr 1, 2016 14:08:26 GMT
Articho watched Ninjin recover from Etoru's punch as Maeve helped her stand back up. He felt slightly miffed that she didn't even acknowledge him, but decided to let it go. The current situation concerning Bing's death and who would be the next Kami was more important that his own annoyance at being ignored. He straightened and looked over to Etoru sympathetically. The poor kid was losing himself to his own despair, threatening to kill Zucetta himself. The older hybrid could see that the boy was very close to Bing and his death was hitting him very hard. Articho wanted to try and comfort Etoru in some way. He knew where the younger hybrid was coming from, having lost people himself, but he wasn't sure what he could say. He took a few tentative steps towards Etoru as he debated inwardly, but wanting to try and help won out. The older hybrid walked over to Etoru and crouched next to him.
"Come on, kid, don't go losing your head on us," Articho said quietly, reaching place a hand on Etoru's shoulder and gently spin him around. He could see the blood spattered around the tiles underneath the boy's fists and the blood trailing down them. He readied himself to block or dodge a punch from the kid as it seemed just as, if not more likely for Etoru to throw one instead of uncurl his fists. "I know what its like to lose someone close to you, but letting that consume you isn't good for you or anyone else. Remember, death isn't a closed door and definitely not for a guy like Bing. He'll come back eventually or we can use the Dragon Balls to bring him back. Don't lose hope, alright?" Articho finished with a reassuring smile and a pat to Etoru's shoulder before straightening again.
Articho grabbed a chocolate donut from the floating box and bit into it as he watched Reikiko make her way to the library. His eyes narrowed into a glare as she made her comment about them not trusting her. Yes, the hybrid didn't trust her, but not for her being whatever she was. He didn't trust her because how willing she was to let he and Gleciar die so long as they didn't cause a problem. "You can say that again," he mumbled under his breath as he took another bite from the donut. He looked over at Vi-Poi, his glare turning into a grin. "Long time, no see, Vi," he said as he approached the android. "Not looking to nuke another city, right?"

Post by Etoru on Apr 2, 2016 17:16:06 GMT
Ninjin explained to Etoru that he shouldn't feel bad about what he did. It was her fault. Not that Etoru really 'cared' much though. He did feel a bit bad that she was the one who got hit but he was to much in a sour mood to really apologize for his actions. His back was turned from the group, but he let out a tiny grin at the small teasing insults she used on Toma. It faded quickly however. "Yeah....okay." Etoru mumbled to Ninjin to show he got her message. Etoru didn't really care what Toma did. The fact that he was off planet never left his mind. Etoru even wondered if he took off randomly or on his own, because judging by what people here said and their looks, it looked like no one really knew he took off during those times.
Defrosch then walked over to him. Etoru stared at the acrosian as he approached him. Etoru's cold gaze met Defrosch's eyes as he tried to cheer him up. Etoru gave a small smile. "Yeah..." But his frown faded away when he said that the queen would pay dearly. While it was true he wanted her dead, Etoru needed it done by his hands. He wouldn't stand for anyone taking his place. "The queen WILL pay, but not by any of you! So listen up ALL of you!" Etoru yelled at everyone on the lookout. Clenching his fists tightly, he began to speak. "I'm going to be the one who takes out Zucceta." Lifting his chin up but keeping his gaze on the warriors, he continued on. "She's mines to kill. So NONE of you get in my way!" Etoru frowned crossing his arms. He was happy at what Defrosch said, and no, Defrosch didn't offend him in any way. Etoru just needed to make it clear.
With a glance of his eye, Reikiko seemed to be happy to see Vi-Poi. Etoru looked at the tiles of the floor...just thinking. Could he really take out Zucceta alone? He sensed how powerful her energy was all the way on Earth. That wasn't the only thing on his mind. Etoru sensed Zerori there...why 'was' she there? She said she didn't want anything to do with Earth. Was she helping Bing and the others? He also sensed his old friend, Habana. She was still an SSE member. Because of Zucceta, her, and all the other SSE members, Bing's dead! Etoru couldn't forgive her for that.
His thinking was cut off as he heard Articho's voice. Suddenly he was spun around. Etoru blinked as he was just dazed by the sudden movement. Frowning at his words, Etoru shook his head. "T...Thanks....I guess....but, that doesn't change anything you know? I'm still going to kill Zucceta myself...just you watch." After he said that, he playfully punched his arm. It wouldn't, and shouldn't really hurt. Etoru had a small grin as he noticed Maeve reacting to Vi-Poi. "Relax Ms.Maeve...he's just some small robot man. Sure he's like a big deal on Earth but he isn't all t---" Etoru's eyes widened. Without a second to spare, he zoomed towards Vi-Poi. "Stop! W-Wait! Ms.Maeve just said you fought with my master! Y-You know Master Bing??" Blinking, he turned around fast looking at Maeve. "A-And...what's a fi....en....cay...?" Etoru asked, mispronouncing fiance.

Post by Vi-Poi on Apr 6, 2016 7:54:36 GMT
The small android skipped back at Reikiko’s jab, but the tail skewer was for the apple danish and not for him. “You’re welcome.” He said with a small smile, shaking his head. She’d gotten more of her blustering chimera personality back since her reformation.
“I would make the argument that I’ve already ran it, but now it seems to be up for contention.” Vi-Poi quipped to the caped creature, clasping hands with her. “Nice to meet you, Maeve of Rakshasa Clan.” Vi-Poi said, his analytics quickly parsing through the demon’s skillset. Bing Gan, betrothed to a demon? He never took Bing for the betrothing type -- most of the warriors he’d met lived solitary lives. But there was always something larger beneath the surface with most humans. “Bing was a friend.” The android agreed. “And he did all the heavy lifting with the Queen. I just made her exit flashier.”
Nodding to the unfamiliar Arcosian, he quickly grabbed a maple-caramel glaze and whipped it around his index finger, sending it hurtling his way with a spin.
It was odd to see so many gathered here. Etoru, Ninjin, Articho, even Toma twinkling away in the sky.
He gave Articho a disdainful look after the human's taunting words about Realigner Red, but his circuits cooled Poi's indignant reaction. Many humans were of a low sort of depth in the intellectual domain, and he shouldn't be surprised that a man preoccupied with sandwiches would be shallow in his assessment of others.
The android’s keen sense of cybo-acoustical hearing had picked up on Etoru’s mewling over Bing and the Queen. Vi-Poi moved into high speed, appearing in front of the Saiyan child. “Don’t think you can beat the Queen by yourself. Now that she’s entered a new state, her chi is strong and unpredictable, and with the world-eating tree she depends on for power, there is no telling what her limits are. Bing was overconfident, and foolishly moved against the Queen and her Elites without proper support. This is a battle-hardened empire of Super Saiyans, and it will take everything the galaxy has to stop them.”

She stood there tottering just ever so slightly as she continued to recuperate from the pretty good hit she took from Etoru. She would listen to the people spoke as she could not but feel a little guilty about staying while Toma had headed off back toward their home. :: He will understand why I did not leave. I know he will. He will have cooled off and be apologetic by the time I get home… I just know it. :: Her internal track slipping away as she heard Defrosch speak up about falling into fear would be falling into the abyss. Ninjin nodded in agreement to the arcosians words. She herself had been within the same depths before but clawed her way back to the surface when she had been greeted by Toma and his smiling face. The arcosian’s words of confidence where a welcome change for her. There were only a few Arcosians over the years that she would of even though an optimist or a realist like Defrosch was. She would have to speak with him one of these days one on one as he seemed wiser than even she had imagine someone could be. When Reikiko yelled out at Vi-Poi she would have to bring a hand to her ear. The words slightly reverberating through her head. Despite that she noticed Reikiko’s tail go flying across the platform directly at Vi-Poi but then angle into the donut box and stab what she could assume was a Danish. A light chuckle began to escape her lips as she saw this. It seemed no matter what changed with the other people somethings never changed. Though the back and forth between Rei and the swordswoman at her side seemed to be quite tense and terse despite what was said it seemed that nothing was going to happen. Yet again the swordswoman at her side seemed to be much wiser then she had assumed but should not of been surprised. Someone who claimed to be the fiancée of the Guardian of Earth would be wise. She took a deep breath and looked at Articho her eyes narrowing as he shot out a barb at him. “Arty knock it off. We cannot have this style of dissent within our ranks. If we do the Empire will just slaughter us all one by one.” Specifically she spoke to Articho as he was still close to him. Despite the obvious loss of power of what she had she felt the pull and tug of trying to teach him. Noticing the slight curl to Etoru’s lips with her barbs being sent to her husband made her shake her head and chuckle a little bit as well. The box came by and she did not reach into it because she was now not feeling the greatest still. So she was happy to decline for the moment. “No thanks Vi. Thank you though.”Waving her hand lightly as she dismissed the box of pastries. Listening to the young man speak about wanting to get payback on the Queen she could not help but feel for Etoru. The sheer pain she felt coming off of him was palpable but she did not make a move to try and soothe him as someone else was already there attempting to do the same that she would of done. She would chime up with she hoped would encourage him if only a little. “Then focus this anger young man. Focus it all into what you will throw at them and be ready when the time comes to do what must be done. When they return it will be war and death will be assured on both sides. Many of us gathered here will not come back from it… Heck all of us could easily not return to the lookout especially if the Queen has assumed the same form that I felt during the last invasion coming from the forces that went renegade.”Her words where simple and clean despite her attempts to be calming instead would of come out coldly. In her own mind she was being realistic and she had made certain that her affairs would be in order within a few days. As if things happened and things went badly she was to be certain that her children would be supported. She felt around with her ki and she could feel that other than the well mannered Arcosian everyone here was well out of her league in terms of power. With that she could only assume that her cousin was an even greater threat than she imagined. “They would be battle hardened and will without a doubt be willing to end all of our lives without a second thought… and we can now assume that the queen knows of this ascended form that she will attempt to teach each and every single one of her soldiers that she considers her elites this transformation. So they will be stronger and deadlier than even we can imagine. There are too many things to think about when it comes to what is to come with what is an inevitable invasion. Vi-Poi the BBA will have to start work on ships for the civilians to get them out of the battle’s way cause I do not think hiding underground in bunkers or inside hardened building will help this time. I saw what happened to the cities on the news during the last invasion. This time I fear things will be much worse and they will not hesitate to just lay waste to civilian populations… The only other thing I could think of would be to work together and gather the Dragonballs and then find a way to strengthen several people to the point where they can stand up to her elite soldiers. Though I have no idea how this dragon works or how the balls could even be found.”Shrugging as she gave a really fatalistic look at what was to come. She was expecting things to go sideways in the worst of ways and despite that she was going to try and maintain some sense of hope through it all. No matter how small that someone like Vi-Poi or Reikiko would be able to at the end of the day stand up and defeat Zucceta. { Defrosch Your up man } |

"Thanks, uh- I'm Defrosch, by the way. Sorry to cut introductions short, I'm just a bit busy right now." Praise the Kais there was a caramel glazed donut- maple caramel glaze no less! While said donut put Defrosch at ease somewhat, the situation was still rather tense, he winced as Vi-Poi imparted his own wisdom upon Etoru. 'Yeah, that'll make the kid angry I bet.' Defrosch sighed, can't win 'em all, unfortunately. The Arcosian moved back, watching over the group just as Reikiko's tail zipped by to snatch up the apple danish. Quite an impressive appendage, its function far exceeded that of an Arcosian's tail despite also being prehensile and somewhat stretchable. What Reikiko said also piqued Defrosch's interest. It was never clear to him what sort of creature she was, but to him that would hardly matter; as far as he was concerned Reikiko was something of a 'hero' of Earth herself. In the end, curiosity had a rather odd relationship with Defrosch and oftentimes it would pull a fast one on him, but knowing for sure does beat uncertainty by a long shot. The Arcosian would head towards the library himself- he had just been there and he had unfinished reading to do after all. "So.. You used to live here?"Icebreakers also had a rather odd relationship with Defrosch, but that is a story for another time.
Reikiko your move again. My bad for being late on the reply!

The bio-android had been within the library, seemingly having just opened a tome when Defrosch arrived, causing her to lift her gaze from the literature while she nodded her head quietly. A short pause followed where she didn't speak, her gaze lowering back to the book before she decided to reply in a softer tone, seemingly less hostile than earlier.
"I did. My adoptive father, the Namekian Scargot was Bing's predecessor."
The book she had been reading was a curious one, mostly just notes of Scargot's studies into the teachings of the ones who came before him and yet the age of the writing had made it so that it was a bit more difficult for her to read certain segments of the book.
"I'm a Bio-android, was designed to become a weapon for a crime syndicate, albeit they didn't expect me to develop a mind of my own. After I escaped it was Scargot who found me and took me to this place. He was a kind person... always tried to believe in people and see the good within them. Even a being like me... He tried to teach me his ways, but unfortunately I'm not exactly made to be a pacifist. Unfortunately... he disappeared. He is likely still alive, since the Dragon Balls still exist but."
She closed the book and looked up at Defrosch, allowing a smile to linger on her lips.
"I left this place behind a long time ago, but within my heart I consider it my home. Although I respect Bing and consider him a friend, I do not believe that anyone among us currently has the right, or the answers to become a Kami. They are ignoring the path my father and Bing walked before them, and it's that what infuriates me. My father believed in kindness, using his wisdom to guide Earth, and Bing used his strength to protect it. Even if their intentions are noble, I do not believe they know what it means to be a god, nor do I..."
She placed the book back onto the shelf, while asking with a hint of curiosity.
"Why do you ask? It's not a worthwhile story really, just the tale of a foolish girl who wants to play the role of a hero to fulfill her father's dreams, yet it's a role I fear is ill-suited for her."

Maeve awkwardly cut her gaze to her donut as Ninjin and Vi spoke to the boy. She didn't know what to say so she clammed up and kept her focus on something innocent. So she looked upon the sugary pastry as she digested both of their words and eventually, she couldn't stomach it anymore. She felt queasy, so much so that even something as delectable as a donut covered in powdery sugar made her want to hurl. She covered her mouth, dropping the treat when she realized that the retching sensation wasn't just metaphorical but quite literally apparent. She let out a shaky gasp as she did her best to shake it off but felt herself panting for a brief moment. "Etoru..." She hung her head a bit. "You...You shouldn't fight." She finally said looking to the boy. "This isn't about getting stronger, or being brave...You're threatening to kill someone...A boy your age shouldn't have so much rage." She closed her eyes as she continued to look down. "You're strong Etoru, stronger than most grown ups but that doesn't mean you have to become a grown up. Killing the queen, no matter how wicked she is and no matter how much she has hurt you, is wrong." She said casting a sorrowful gaze his way. "Let go of that hate, or you'll lose yourself to it. Bing...Bing wouldn't want that. I would know." She said rubbing the backside of her hand as she spoke of Bing once more. "You asked me what a fiance was correct? A fiance is someone who promises another their very life, a person who promises to live with another as one. Someone who promises to be a couple bound by marriage and love. I loved Bing. I truly did, and I would know what he wants. Though, When I found out..." She cast her gaze aside, the stormy night playing through her mind in an instant. She remembered fighting Kaula and Radasha, she could remember going back to the capital, sword in hand. "...I stood at the gate. Like you, I wanted nothing more than to avenge him. I wanted to storm her castle and face her myself... However...I had a friend who told me the same thing I'm telling you. Don't throw away your life. You might think you can win and..." She paused, recalling the feats of the boy causing her to smile a bit. "You honestly might have a shot. Killing her however, would require throwing who you are away...There won't be a monster controlling you. You'll become the monster." She said the image of the boy covered in blood flashing before her eyes. "Bing wouldn't want that...I don't want that...So please...Don't fight." She glanced to Ninjin, her brow furrowing as she cut a glare at her. "You should know better than to encourage him, you have children too correct? Toma told me... Would you want them to focus their anger in his shoes? Would you turn them into a tools of war? I don't think so..." She said before looking away. "This is something we can handle. As strong as Etoru is we can't have him throw his innocence away by letting him stain his hands with blood. It's wrong..." She concluded with a turn and flick of her long cape. "So, in order for me to be of better use to the world I need to better myself...I...I feel like I must speak with Rei." She admitted as she walked towards the entrance of the lookout. "...Vi Poi." She paused, resting a clawed hand on the side of one of the pillars in the grand entryway. "If you would, please come by sometime soon. I feel I must properly thank you for inadvertently saving my life during the invasion." She glanced back to him with a weak smile. "Due to the circumstances today...It wouldn't feel right if I tried to do so now." |

Articho smiled at Etoru as the younger hybrid lightly punched his arm. He ruffled the kid's hair playfully and stood back up. He was glad he had managed to have some affect on Etoru and at the very least, he was smiling again. In time, he would learn that killing Zucceta wouldn't make anything better in the long run and he would refrain from doing so. And sure, Articho and Etoru had butted heads a few times, but the past was the past and right now, he wasn't a fighter. He was a little kid who had lost someone close to him. Articho could easily put aside a feud for that.
The hybrid raised his hands defensively towards Vi-Poi and Ninjin's visual and verbal scolding. Clearly, his joke had gone by both of them completely. "Jeez, can we cool it off for a moment. I was just making a joke. Last time I saw Vi face to face was during that whole incident. I didn't mean anything by it 'cause clearly you aren't an insane, murderous robot." Articho lowered his hands again with a sheepish smile. He noted that maybe cracking more personal jokes was in bad taste with this crowd.

Etoru gave a weak smile at Articho. He shut his eyes gently when his hair was ruffled. Etoru didn't like Articho very much, but maybe he wasn't that much of a jerk on the inside. Defrosch is a jerk on the outside. A real jerk. But on the inside, he's a wittle fuzzy wuzzy. But that's besides the point. Articho stood back up and began interacting with the group. Etoru frowned again. Thoughts of Zucceta and revenge still flooding his mind. It was really getting to him, and Etoru just couldn't simply shake it off. I mean how could you? How could the likes of HER ever be forgiven. Etoru was going to get his revenge, no matter what the cost. And no one, was going to get in his way for that. But looks like that was said too soon as Vi-Poi appeared in front of Etoru at high speeds. Etoru recoiled back and frowned at him. The words he spoke out caused Etoru to clench his fists.
Pointing his finger at him, he snarled at the android, despite the respect he had for Vi-Poi. "So what! I don't care how strong she is! S-She just....she can't get away with this! And if anyone's going to stop her, it's ME." The child stated as he pointed his thumb at his chest. "And I know what state she reached. I'm not stupid. But then...I'll just have to reach that state too...!" The child declared. He was determined. Like power was going to stop him from going. She was going to pay for what she did. And nothing was going to get in his way for that. Looking at Ninjin, he simply nodded. That was what he planned on doing, and he was prepared for every moment that was to come. But, I guess prepared isn't the right term to use. He still had more training to learn.
It was then Maeve called out to him. Etoru turned his head staring at her as she seemed to be in a bit of...'distress' from eating those pastries. He furrowed his eyebrows when she told him he shouldn't fight. "What do you mean 'I shouldn't fight'...." He clenched his fists tightly. He was one of the strongest warriors this stupid planet has! He 'needed' to fight! Etoru scoffed. "Yeah I'm threatening to kill someone! Someone that killed so many innocent people, INCLUDING BING! And rage is what's keeping me going..." He grit his teeth. Then...Etoru shut his mouth. He listened. And he listened carefully. Each and every word. She went on talking about how Bing wouldn't want this and how hate would consume him. Etoru hung his head, an ominous shadow over his eyes. Apparently, she was in love with Bing. Then she said one of the most convincing words. If he continued on, he wont be living with a monster, he'd become a monster. He put his hand near his midsection before placing it back at his side.
Looking back at her, eyes full of ominous hate, he scoffed. "...Maeve. I said it before..." He slowly raised his finger at her, then pointed. "And I'll say it again..." Furrowing his eyebrows, he continued on. "Earth's Kami. Bing-Gan. Is dead." The child stated in response to her saying 'Bing would not have wanted this'. He cared deeply for his master, of course. He also cared deeply for Maeve as well. But what was driving him...was his hate. "If becoming a monster...means getting the revenge I seek, then that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make..." The child stated in an expressionless voice. "Have you ever wondered...Maeve...why Zucceta is so powerful?" Etoru's cold eyes locked onto Maeve. "Because of hate. Hate is driving her. Hate for the warriors and life on Earth." The child stated, making his assumption. "So if I embrace my hatred towards Zucceta...then I'll be one of the most powerful warriors in history. Then nothing...not Zucceta, not her army, can stop me..." With that said, he slowly began walking away from the group, his footfalls clacking against the white tiles of the lookouts platform. Standing near the edge, he side glanced the group before turning his head to face straight ahead. With that all said and done, he put his foot over the lookout, then let himself drop.

Vi-Poi began to float slowly into the sky. "We can't create a salvage armada to rescue all of Earth." He said to Ninjin. "There are too many people. We will need to fight. All of us. The civilians too. It's the only way to win."
