(this topic takes place during the period Reikiko is being trained by Beezlebub)
Although a few days has passed since Reikiko started her training, Reikiko had to admit she was having quite some difficulties coming to terms with the teachings of the prince. Although his words contained some form of truth and wisdom within them, she had to admit there was a certain questionable nature to the morality that came with it. Perhaps it was her hesitation that had caused her to yet properly obtained the true power she desired, the power she needed in order to best Zucceta someday. She had been searching for a place of solitude, a search that led her to a rather empty place in one of the areas within hell, near a small collection of trees. And there she stood, having decided to briefly fold up Walker's robe on a tree stump while trying to focus on the matter at hand. Beelzebub had some incredibly strong techniques to teach, but the one she had been struggling with right now was the Makaioken. The bio-android's face, partly concealed behind her mask was turned into a stern and serious look while she took a deep breath to recall the thoughts involving that specific technique.
The Makaioken was a power that allowed the user to draw forth an incredible source of energy, but it demanded the user to let themselves become indulged into their darker emotions. Although Reikiko didn't want to admit it, her heart had been burdened with certain feelings, and the thoughts that drifted in her mind were a perfect catalyst for such a power. However, to learn to control this power was a lot harder than it sounded like. It was only for a moment, but as she allowed her hand to slip toward the mask, slowly pulling it off the unusual properties of the mask had lifted the mental restrains on those emotions.
It hurts...
The words were but a whisper, an overwhelming feeling of sorrow and loneliness overcoming her. She couldn't feel Kaula's presence, and with nobody by her side she was starting to become haunted by the emptiness. Sure, Lillim was likely nearby but still... It wasn't the same as having Kaula or Letu with her. And she had only one person to blame for it. The one with all the schemes, that twisted queen of the Solar Saiyan Empire.
Crush.
She hated Zucceta... Her hatred and disgust for the taboo she had committed by turning Bing into the hideous existence he was forced to endure. It seemed those feelings of anger started to slowly manifest within her, her usual silver aura seemingly taking a purple tint.
I hate her...
There was without any doubt only one person to blame for this tragedy, the one person who became the source of her obsessive grudge. If only she could obtain power, a power strong enough to destroy that fiend!
"You shouldn't have been allowed to live, Bing should have never shown you mercy."
The purple aura started to burn outwards, fiercer and fiercer by the moment till Reikiko suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. The darkness was becoming too much, and with a sudden loud scream a Kiai had been unleashed.
GYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
An almost feral roar came from the bio-android as her Aura seemingly rose up to double its regular size, her power reaching a peak that went far beyond that of most people. Indeed, at roughly 12 million it was a devastating amount, yet at the same time her knees gave way, her breathing ragged as she hurriedly reached for the mask, seemingly putting it on once more, and only then her panting started to subdue.
"Not enough... I still lack the control I need to draw forth this power's true potential."
She looked around, seemingly only realizing now at the small crater that she was standing in, the nearby trees having been uprooted entirely while she sighed softly, slowly rising onto her feet, noticing a small presence.
"You must be incredibly brave or foolish to come here..."
She turned toward the source of the presence, seemingly a little puffball while she spread her wings, seemingly hovering out of the small crater, landing before the puffball.
"I see that you're one of those who has yet to regain their true form, it's annoying to be stuck in that shape, isn't it?"

"AAHHH!!"
Was Conan's first word in Hell. Ok, Conan fell down Snake Bridge trying to get to King Kai's planet, which brings us to the present time. Conan stopped screaming once he realized he was floating down. "Oh yeah, i'm still a fricking stick of cotton candy," He thought as he looked down. He was meeted by the sight of H.F.I.L. Of course at the time he didn't know what this place was, so all of this was fairly new to him. While scanning the ground for anything interesting, Conan saw a woman, with a huge power level, training below him. "Huh, perhaps I could get some training tips from her, i mean, she is really strong right?" The prospect of find someone strong also made Conan excited. His saiyan blood running through him could not resist a fight. But, then again, he was still a cloud. Once he had landed, Conan went to go hide behind one of the surrounding boulders. He began to listen in and watch, hoping for a glimpse of her training, but he didn't get that far. The woman confronted him and began to sympathize how annoying it is to be in this current form. "Yes, it is, watching other people train while i am stuck in this, this, not very flattering form to say the least." Conan blinked, or, at least, pretend to blink. Did he really just say that? He agreed to himself to find out why he said this later, and then put his focus to the task at hand. "Anyways, have you been recently killed? Because I need some info on what is happening back up in the land of the living." "And if Etoru is still evil," He thought. He missed being alive and having a body, well, the training and eating part of having a body. Conan needed info though about the world above soon, because he was sure things have changed since he had died.

The bio-android nodded her head lightly in response, seemingly understanding the problem the puffball was dealing with. Although she had regained her body rather swiftly, she did realize the annoyance that came with the idea of being like a tiny little cloud, all things considered it would make anyone lose their self-esteem. However, the question that followed caused Reikiko to sigh, and although she was mildly annoyed at the question, she understood the puffball wasn't one to blame. While she walked back toward the place Walker's robe had been at, slowly putting it over her body she replied to his question.
"Yes, I was slain in battle recently. However, depending on how long you been in this realm you might have missed a lot."
She paused for a moment, seemingly thinking about the best part to start her description of the recent events.
"Several months ago the Solar Saiyan Empire tried to invade Earth, and although they were repelled a lot of damage was caused. Afterwards the efforts of several people allowed the revival of the planet Namek and peace seemed to return to the galaxy, even if only temporarily."
A sigh followed as she turned back toward the puffball.
"The empire, seemingly desiring to obtain more power decided to go for a different planet, using the twisted Tree of Might to drain the planet of its life. Although several attempts were made to stop them in the form of a small group of people, the efforts spearheaded by the late Kami, Bing Gan they failed and Bing paid the price with his life."
No, she didn't want to tell this stranger the fate Bing had been forced to endure, but she still continued speaking, her tone colder than before.
"Right now there is merely a calm before the storm. The empire is nurturing its strength, and I believe it's just a matter of time before they resume their ambitions of conquering the blue jewel known as Earth."
She closed her eyes briefly, a soft chuckle escaping her lips.
"You must had arrived recently yourself if you haven't been watching the events unfolding through those weird television screens. Nevertheless, you got a name? Puffball is a rather cruel way to identify you. My name is Reikiko."
She paused for a moment while musing softly.
"I wish my ability worked in here also, perhaps I could figure out how Etoru is doing then..."
Yet she shook her head, as if trying to disregard the thought.
"If you plan to involve yourself in the land of the living once more I'd suggest reclaiming your body and train a lot first. The empire has grown immensely in strength, especially with that accursed queen of them ascending to a power beyond that of a Supah Saiyajin... and she is only the worst of them in nature, when it comes to power the empire has even greater threats..."

Suddenly, a bright light formed around Conan. He felt, warmer, more solid, somehow as it continued to wrap around him. "Huh, What?!" Conan exclaimed as he soon had regained his legs, then his arms, then his hands, and then his hair. He flexed his fingers, not believing that he had his body back. He powered up with a simple shout, and his blue aura flared around him. Conan shot a few punches out, and then blew up one of the boulders with a ki blast. He grinned evilly. Conan powered up further, pushing the limits of his new body, his newfound power. He laughed maniacally, but then stopped, confused at why he was so happy. He looked at his traditional saiyan armor and said, "Geez, I need to get a new look." He looked over at Rei and said to her, "Oh! Sorry, I'm Conan! Pleasure to meet you." He held out his hand to shake. If she chose not to take his hand, he would put it back to his side awkwardly. If she did, then he would smile and shake. Then, Rei's news hit him full force. "Bing...dead?" No, it couldn't be, it shouldn't be! "But wait, if Bing was dead, then he'd be in the afterlife, and I didn't see any sign of him in Heaven, and I am SURE he didn't end up in Hell. Explain, if you could. I have a lot more questions than that." He was hoping that Rei wasn't one of Etoru's victims, but then again, even Etoru isn't as strong as this person, so that probably isn't the case. But who could be strong enough to kill Rei? He contemplated this while waiting for Rei's answer.

The bio-android only briefly shook his hand, but he would have likely noticed that despite her feminine looks and the softness of the skin of her hand, that the grip of the handshake itself was a lot stronger than normally. Unfortunately it seemed the boy intended to figure out if Bing truly died, perhaps understandable because if the late Kami perished he should have gone to heaven. Instead he found himself trapped within a metal prison. Perhaps it was the memory of her confrontation with the cyborg that caused her body to tremble lightly from anger, bits of her darker aura manifesting around her in the form of purple sparks of energy.
"Not every death leads to the afterlife. When Bing was slain by the Queen of Vegeta... No, it's best you don't know for the time being. Let us just say the queen ensured you won't see him here anytime soon"
She had briefly closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to calm down the rage building up within her. Still, she glanced back at the man's armor, a traditional look of a Solar Saiyan Empire soldier, but it made her only glare in disgust before making a light sweeping motion sideways with her hand. In the blink of an eye it seemed that a small flash of light on the ground was accompanied by the conjuration of a set of clothes, seemingly in a familiar design to that of the Namekian warrior caste, but instead on the back there was a logo with the kanji to resemble the word 'Revenge'.
"You better get out of that armor boy. I despise the empire, and being a soldier of Zucceta makes me give the urge to obliterate the body you just earned."
She clearly was annoyed, but if he tried to put on the outfit she would have turned around to grant him some privacy.
"I was killed by the secret weapon of the Solar Saiyan Empire, but to honor the last wishes it possesses I do not wish to talk about its identity... until I destroy it."
And then after a moment, she turned back toward him.
"So how does your body feel Conan? It's not that often that someone regains their body merely because they force their will to manifest physically."

Conan frowned when Rei made the remark about how death doesn't always lead to the afterlife. She's leaving something out about Bing's current situation. He then shrugged and said, "There are far worse things then death." He blinked and stood there confused momentarily. Why did he keep saying these insensitive things? Conan then picked up the clothes Reikiko had given him and stared at them. They seemed to look like a namekian's choice of clothing. He shook his head. Conan turned towards Rei and said, "It's fine. Thanks for the offer though. I have better clothes than this." He then pointed to his clothes, and a flash of light exploded from him. After the light had passed, he would look totally different. He basically had Turles' armor, with black pants. The armor was two colors, black and purple. His gloves were all purple. He grinned at Rei and said, "Look on the back of the armor." He would then turn around and on the back of the armor it would have the Japanese words for Thirsty for Battle. "This is my own armor design," Conan explained. "When I used to look up to the SSE. Used to," He would also add if Rei was annoyed by that remark. "Anyways, this secret weapon must be pretty strong to kill you Ms. Reikiko! You are pretty strong if I do say so myself!" He shot out a couple of punches, testing his new body. He then used his tail to do pushups, him using his tail to lift himself off the ground. "It feels, good to have a body again, to say the least," He said to her, grinning. Conan then said to her, his tone turning into a darker, much serious one, "You're holding back something about Bing. I won't ask anything else until you explain the situation with him. He is a friend of mine, and I want, no, I need to know what actually happened to him. Just because I am a child, doesn't mean I cannot take bad news." Conan glared at Rei. Bing was his friend, he needed to know what exactly happened to him. I mean, his other friend Etoru had already turned evil, so what could be worse than that? As he waited, he would pace around the giant crater Reikiko made, his mind swirling in a hurricane of thoughts.

The bio-android shook her head lightly at Conan's inquiry about Bing's state, and unfortunately she wasn't exactly in the mood to answer him. Not only did she wish to respect Bing's wish, and only let a handful of people know his fate, but at the same time she also felt angered at her own failure, it made the bio-android sigh in annoyance, sure the boy might had gotten his body back but he was in no way ready for the harsh reality that awaited him. Instead she merely ignored his question for a bit, wandering over toward the edge of the crater and finally replied to his inquiry in a rather cold tone, her words surprisingly cruel.
"The way you are right now, you'd just become a liability, and that's a matter I won't allow. Bing was a friend of me also, and it's because of our friendship that I will respect his wish to not let people know his fate."
No, the way this boy was right now, would simply cause him to be in the way. Perhaps it was for that reason she decided to provoke him further.
"The news of Bing's fate would be of no use for you, at the very least you'd be nothing but a disposable asset for the weakest soldiers of the empire."
Cruel, but true, especially with so many Super Saiyans rising within their ranks. She turned her gaze away from him, clearly considering something when finally she turned to face the boy once more, eyes narrowed into a sharp glare.
"If you truly want to help Bing and the things he tried to protect then try to push beyond your limits. Become a Supah Saiyajin, perhaps then you'll have enough power to make a small difference. Perhaps I might even tell you about Bing's fate, and the secret weapon of the empire."
Slowly she stepped closer toward the Saiyan, looking a bit more closely at him.
"If those words on your back are any suggestion of your personality then I might be able to help you. Did you know that this realm has a few handy perks once you reclaim your body? Given enough time you can gain a lot of power, much more than you would by simply training in the world of the living, not to mention you aren't limited to the restrains of a moral body. How about it Conan, want to get your thirst for battle satisfied? It would bring you closer to the power of a Supah Saiyajin, and if you're fortunate enough to reach it before I run out of patience... I will reveal the answers you seek."

Conan's face darkened slightly when Rei said that he'd become a liability if he knew about Bing's state. But then he sat down and put his face in his hands and said, "I guess I would be a liability. And Cannon Fodder for the saiyan warriors in the SSE who have achieved the form of Super Saiyan," He also added as Rei said he would be only a disposable asset for the SSE as well. He sighed. His dream was to become the strongest in the Universe, how was he going to achieve this dream now? So many people are so much more powerful than Conan, and Queen Zucceta had found a way to turn into a Super Saiyan beyond Super Saiyan? He'd never catch up. but he felt his hopes lift when Rei said there were many interesting things about this place, many training items that would help him on his way of becoming a Super Saiyan. But he wasn't satisfied at that comment and promise. He said to Rei, "No, I don't want to become a Super Saiyan. I want to surpass that form, and then surpass, surpass that form beyond of a Super Saiyan. i want to become the Super Saiyan beyond all Super Saiyans. I want to become," He paused for a moment and thought what would a Super Saiyan of that caliber be named, and then continued, "I want to become....A Ascended Super Saiyan Three." Yes, the request and goal is absolutely ridiculous. A Ascended Super Saiyan Three? Only one of those were ever seen in the history of the saiyans. but Conan was determined to become the Ultimate Super Saiyan, and this was the only way to do it. He stood up. Conan cracked his knuckles and grinned. He asked Rei, "So, when does the fun start? I'm dying to test out this new weighted armor and body out in combat."

Reikiko couldn't help but chuckle at his words, seemingly amused by his statement. A Ascended Super Saiyan Three? While she didn't knew if there was truly a form beyond that of the Ascended Super Saiyan, it would make sense if there was an even greater power lurking within them... Albeit the name was a bit goofy to her liking. She paused for a second, when finally she grinned at his question, replying with a hint of mischief in her tone.
"In just a moment, let us go to a bit of a secret training place of mine, shall we? At least we'll be able to train there without the risk of people getting curious."
And with those words she gestured for him to follow, seemingly preparing to leave...
[PL for me~]
