The saiyan in black flew across the green sky of Planet Namek, his hair blowing wildly. As he flew his attention was diverted to a rather...sketchy view. He looked at a desolated and ruined piece of land in the middle of a body of water. Something stranged happened around these areas, something very destructive for that matter. The saiyan scoured the area, wondering if the cause of this destruction could have been nearby still, but that was doubtful. Whatever caused this must have been powerful, even more powerful than the saiyan himself, possibly. Of course, a stronger opponent wasn't something that scared Riku, it only made the thrill greater. The warrior of death landed on the destroyed island, kneeling down as he felt the destroyed earth. The grass was...scorched. There must have been a fire...or maybe a fight with ki users. Either way, something of importance happened here.
Riku looked around, his attention on his scouter in case a power level would reveal itself. A bit of action in this damned slug planet would be nice, truth be told. Seeing as how he has just been lolly gagging the whole forsaken time he came to this planet, maybe someone would actually keep him entertained. "Could really use a buddy right about now... Sucks that everyone I meet always has some plans...that never involve me, that is. I should probably get a girlfriend on Earth, would at least keep me busy when I'm not whooping ass or training...NAMEK YOU ARE SO BORINGGGGGGG. THE SSE HAD MORE SHIT TO DO THAN YOU."
The saiyan in black continued to rant in his own mind. If he had been doing this aloud he would have looked like a complete buffoon. Luckily nobody was around, and that he was sane enough to not throw a tantrum...against a planet.

[Thread PL: 163,000] Mayze observed the darkly dressed saiyan ranting below him. His arms were crossed and his power level suppressed to nearly undetectable levels. He had been scanning the area himself when his scouter had detected Riku nearby. The saiyan warrior had quickly hidden nearby before the man in front of him chanced upon the area.
With a slight smirk, the saiyan allowed a bit of his power to peak through. If Riku scanned the general with a scouter, his power level would read around seventy-thousand. He cocked his head slightly to the right, speaking with a slightly curious tone, “I wonder what happened here?” he indicated to the fresh scorch marks that scattered the island, “Evidently whatever it was is still nearby, the marks are relatively fresh. I chanced upon them, and had been inspecting them when my scouter detected you incoming from nearby”
The general gently descended to the ground, landing with a soft pat, “You’ve grown in power since the invasion of Earth, Riku,” Mayze noted, smirk ever present, “I figured you’d either deserted the cause, had been killed, or were unable to find your way back to Vegeta,” he mused before sighing, “Good thing you made it out alive I suppose,”
“Ya know, I’m wondering why you’re on Namek. Surely if you had a ship you would’ve made your way to Vegeta beforehand,” his smirk widened slightly, almost subtle, “Although, you may very well have reported back at the homeland. I’ve been out of communication for a while now,” he shrugged, “But, something tells me that isn’t the case…” he let the words hang in the air before continuing, “After all, just about your entire side of the invasion force decided to turn-coat. Who’s to say you didn’t follow through? It would explain why you didn’t return to Vegeta with the rest of us.”
Mayze allowed sparks of ki to dance upon his right hand, diverting his attention to it, however, he subtly kept one eye on Riku to observe his reaction, “I should kill you right here for being a possible traitor,” he stated matter-of-factly, “Although,” he glanced away from his hand, letting the ki that had danced on his fingertips die down, “I think Natto and the rest of his force would be here with you if you did have the audacity to betray the Empire. And I’d know that they are here because this thing,” he pointed toward the scouter that covered his left eye, “Would be beeping likely crazy if Natto were in the solar system. So no, I don’t think you’re a traitor,”
The saiyan’s smirk dissipated as he crossed his arms once more, “However you’ve would’ve stopped by Vegeta before coming here if you were still loyal to the Queen” Mayze paused for a moment, smirk slowly reappearing, “So then, what brings you to Namek... deserter?” [UT] Ki Suppression active. PL suppressed to 70k

"That voice..." Riku turned his head upward slowly as he suddenly heard a faintly familiar voice along with the sound of his scouter beeping. A power level of seventy thousand was hovering above him, and this entire time he hadn't even noticed. He cautiously watched as a saiyan in blue saiyan armor descended nearby, a strange vibe engulfing Riku as he did. The saiyan spoke of the invasion on Earth, followed by saying his name. Riku arched his eyebrow, his curiosity growing. The saiyan looked vaguely familiar, but he knew this wasn't a saiyan he fought against in the invasion. Something about him was bringing back the memories of that day, but none were pleasant. The death of his squad member came back, and a small pit of rage developed inside the saiyan's heart. Exhaling deeply, Riku fixated on the saiyan, inspecting him up and down. Suddenly, he began to question Riku and how he hadn't returned to Vegeta, and how if he had a ship to get to Namek he should have been able to reach Vegeta first. The saiyan brought back the memories of how his squad decided to go rouge and become traitors to the Saiyan Solar Empire, something he himself had obliged to.
Then, he brought the idea of Natto and his squad being with him if he had truly gone rouge, and how he should just kill Riku now if he was a traitor. However, the conversation went back to questioning his loyalty, clearly the main reason this saiyan had confronted Riku. Suddenly, a small shiver went down his spine, realizing finally that this wasn't a saiyan from Earth, it was Mayze, one of the top generals for the Queen. Riku's eyes narrowed as he realized this, his heart pumping. Whatever he said now would determine his fate. Death by the hands of an SSE general was something he did not want. However, he could not play the part of a soldier, for he would probably be brought back to Vegeta. Instead, he decided to play with the idea of being "undercover".
"Mayze, eh? Haven't seen you since that day. Don't worry I'm...well... I abandoned the battle that day in order to fight another day. Aa for why I haven't returned... I am sort of doing some secret agent things I guess. Basically gathering intel on all the SSE's enemies in order to bring it back to Queen Zucceta. Of course, with the revival of Namek many people would want to come and investigate the planet, so why not come and gather intel on groups here. So how's the empire been?"

He smirked amusedly as Riku lied through his teeth without missing a beat. Secret agent things? Bah, he would’ve heard of such missions. Plus, he would’ve seen Riku around the Vegetan Palace should he had returned for even a day. No, he, the supposed warrior of death, was nothing more than a plain ole deserter. And besides, he had never been sent to get intel on the native population of Namek, that’s the very reason why Mayze was here. Riku certainly wasn’t giving many reasons as to why the general should keep him alive….
With an amused grin, Mayze replied, “Secret agent, eh,” he arched an eyebrow, “Please, don’t bother me with such theatrics Riku. I would’ve seen you at the palace at some point, and I sure as hell would’ve been informed of this development. And, even if you somehow could give a convincing story, you did state that you were sent to Namek to gather intel. Hmph, guess why I’m here,” he finished with a smirk.
He cocked his head slightly to the side, smirk ever present on his face, “So, tell then, why are you here Riku? And why did you desert the Saiyan Empire? Was the pay not enough for you? Did the entire betrayal of your entire squad somehow cause you to leave? Or…” he let the words hang in the air for a moment, “Do you have an actual, legitimate reason for deserting…?”

The saiyan in black gritted his teeth as the whole wall of lies he put up had been completely broken down by Mayze. The saiyan general was too sharp for Riku's trickery, and there sure as hell wasn't a chance that he would keep Riku alive any longer if he continued to just lie. With the general's words something snapped inside of Riku. The questions of whether Riku deserted due to being influenced by his team or because of...money. Something about those statements made Riku slightly aggravated. Of course money wasn't the issue, and his team wasn't either, not completely at least. With a sign of frustration Riku responded to Mayze's words.
"Money did not influence me, Mayze, no. What made me desert the empire was the fact that along with plotting against the planet I was raised on, you and your Queen sent so many of us on a suicide mission. Especially me and my squad! Our force was up against the strongest forces they had. We lost Aspa, we almost lost Tomoroko, and I was about to be blown to dust! You would think loyalty is everything when part of an empire. Sometimes, there is a greater good, Mayze. The empire doesn't respect the individuals that risk everything to fight for your corrupt cause. Maybe Blood and sacrifice is a must to keep the empire going, but a bit of recognition would be nice. I don't say that for myself, I say so many died that wretched day, and yet the empire continues to plot against them. Besides, your cause is dominance over all, and that isn't the ideals I believe in, Mayze. The empire IS NOT a true government. It is not the righteous ruling Vegeta needs. It is a group of corrupt people set on World domination. Don't you see that?"
Months of pain and hate went into the small speech Riku gave to the saiyan general, in hopes of having him see the things Riku saw. Of course, the saiyan of darkness knew well that he was going beyond the boundaries with this, and a battle with Mayze could be likely, and would not end well for Riku.

Mayze’s tactic had worked. Riku was definitely annoyed if not angry at the general’s words. A good way to get the truth out of someone was by accusing them and having them feel the need to defend their actions. Of course, a lot of what Riku said was simply bullshit, and if he believed what he said, then propaganda on the Earth broadcasting networks were likely running in areas heavily populated with saiyans native to Earth.
As Riku finished his anger-filled speech, Mayze couldn’t help himself from harumphing at his foolish words, “You say, that our invasion was suicidal?” The general raised an eyebrow, “I think you’re forget something important, Riku. Your squad betrayed us, which very well cost us the entire battle. Your squad could’ve held off Vi while the rest of us finished our sieges and then made our way toward you. Plus,” he added, “Vi-Poi was supposed to have been destroyed, but he was obviously rebuilt swiftly following his destruction from that insect,” he shrugged before sighing, “Our dominance over all is our way of life. We are the best, and will always be the best. The government is true, and is the ruling that the saiyans need. Or have you not seen how our empire has flourished since Zucceta took the throne?”
He uncrossed his arms and rolled his shoulders. He glared into Riku’s dark eyes before fully unsuppressing his ki. The general smirked, allowing a small ball of ki to form in his right palm, “The way I see it, Riku,” the orb grew larger, “Is that I can either bring you back to Vegeta,” the orb grew larger still, “Or, I can… kill you,” the saiyan warrior fired the orb. However, instead of striking Riku, the orb of ki flew past by a hairsbreadth, striking the green sea. A gout of water sprouted into the air from the resulting explosion before settling back into its previous calmness.
“Although, there is one other option.”

The saiyan folded his arms as Mayze retaliated, giving Riku a stern argument. The saiyan in black sucked his teeth, frustration getting the best of him. He closed his eyes as the general mentioned his squad betrayal once more. Clearly, Mayze hadn't experienced the battle. "The fault is ours, you say? So, our squad was given the option to retreat, and we were about to take it. Then what, one of our members gets blown to ashes. Did you not hear? Aspa was vaporized in that battle. Tomoroko and Natto and I were willing to avenge him. That's when everything hit rock fucking bottom Mayze. Tomoroko was blasted out of her god damn Oozaru form, and could have died. What, you expect me to have been of any help to Natto? It was a super saiyan, a monster and two robots against one super saiyan and a saiyan who wasn't even close to his opponents levels. We had no choice, the invasion was bound to failure anyway. Natto would have died. I would have died as well. Then what? You, Zucceta and the rest of our damn army would have died too!"
Riku sighed, calming himself. "You keep preaching lies, Mayze. The empire has only grown more corrupt. As for our way of life, it's a pile of bullshit. This life was made for us to grow stronger, to learn from those above us. We won't always be the best, and that should be fine." Moments later, Mayze began to form a large ki ball in his hand, growing larger as he threatened to kill the saiyan in black, unless he came back to Vegeta. With an arched eyebrow, Riku looked at Mayze with suspicious eyes as he spoke of "another option".
"I surely won't return to the empire, so your best bet would be to kill me. I know what you can do, Mayze. I've seen your work, it is admirable. However, I am not afraid of you, and am surely not afraid to die, either. So speak of this other option, or kill me, either way I do not intend on returning with you to the empire."

Apologies, Mayze. I was sort of out of muse and assumed you were gone or just forgot about this.
