Koramund's fists fired out, crushing stone into particles of dust from his ki enhanced talons. His eyes bled out a dark red ichor that trailed off to some form of space above. He had to train his hardest at this point, it was the only way for him to earn his powers! If he did not get stronger, he would just sit here, rot and die completely! He had to keep the fire in his stomach burning, and if this fire went out all of his hopes were gone with it! He had to keep up his death march through this void of uncertainty and achieve his long awaited goal. He will be perfect, and nothing can stop him! He kept on telling himself this as he wandered through Hell with no where to go and no one to talk to. Even after everyone had died and joined him, they all took their leave just as soon as they entered. He was the beast that terrified people in their beds and made them run. He was the monster that people told myths about when they forgot the truth of the bells that jingled. He wanted so much to hunger again, to feed enough to feel like he was alive, but nothing came from the void of his 'soul'. Was desire just out of his reach? Everything he craved was just something material that would end with something spiritual. It was a funny thing really, he had to make up for what he didn't have by embracing greed. The lose threads that hung his life together having to be knotted stronger and stronger by pure determination and nothing else. He came across in the middle of his rambling thoughts a oni that wore a black trench coat. The ominous and rather stereotypical broker psssttt-ed at him. If that was even a proper word to describe it, no body would know! Koramund stalked over, his guard raised slightly. He peaked and cocked his head as the Oni revealed inside the coat, was spiritual goods. Candy, toys, little amusement things, maybe even a flip phone if he saw behind the glutton's barrel of a gut. The Oni smiled before smugly commenting, "Best goods in all of HFIL! I trade Shoki for my wares... anything ya see that you would like kid?" It was a interesting offer, though all of his wares weren't up to his standard of quality. He waved a hand side ways while shaking his head, his way to say get out of here. He was so close to the Oni that he accidentally tapped him on the cheek both times which just confused the broker. He stood silent for a good while as Koramund walked away before moaning out, "Another broke crooked loser... well I am in Hell after all..." Koramund's simple walk turned into a full blown sprint, some form of training to get his mind off of his lonely misery. His overwhelming feet and muscle shattered stone beneath him as he danced among the hill of needles. They sparkled a deep, dark purple that loomed above and beneath him, but he still did his strange dance. His blind dance kept on escalating as he grabbed onto spikes, feeling the life force of the air to try and get a handle for it. The ki was feint, but everything had it. The minerals needed for life were just unprocessed and formed away from a living thing, and so by that base theory he danced along the spikes. He jumped out of the spine cushion from Hell to head over to the main carnival area. He let his restraints lower within this area, letting his immense ki to flood out. He roared out to any who dared listen, letting his voice echo through out Hell "Does anyone require a sparring partner or someone to talk to?! Anybody?!"

Villain tantrums... they were the reason people could never have the nice things in hell, or at the very least enjoy a good old nap. Well, this wasn't exactly a tantrum but while Reikiko had been enjoying a short rest to recover her energy after the extensive training to learn to wield the darker powers that Beezlebub hoped to bestow upon her, the nap was not exactly left undisturbed when a voice boomed through the air, making the bio-android stagger lightly as she fell off the branch she had been taking a nap on, her wings spreading mid-descend and soon she hovered back into the air.
"And THIS is why I can never have a nap. If it isn't explosions, some fool trying to tear down the whole plane in the hope to escape then it's someone screaming at the top of their lungs. Geez, didn't think a voice could reach such a volume."
Groaning in mild annoyance the bio-android could feel a modest amount of energy from a nearby location, and being curious at why it felt slightly familiar she started to fly toward the direction the voice had come from. Koramund likely would have sensed her approach, her energy not concealed in the slightest when finally she stood before him, her body hovering in the sky above, arms folded beneath her chest while she declared in a mildly amused tone.
"If there is anyone I'd need to talk to then it's a psychologist to help me deal with the insanity of this place... then again I might be a hopeless case already."
She laughed weakly before her gaze hardened a bit as she recognized the creature.
"Koramund hmm? Been a while since I seen you. Last time was during the West Capitol Invasion, that blast looked rather painful... Nevertheless, a bit surprised to see you here. But I been hearing rumors about you from some of the other residents of this place. Heard you're a bit of a frequent visitor, ever thought of eating a Saiyajin? Might make dying a bit more worthwhile..."
Harsh, but she was not exactly in the greatest of moods, not to mention the mutant would likely be able to sense how her energy was a lot different from that of when he met her on Earth. The darkness that lurked inside her presence, clearly betrayed the hints that something serious happened to her. An event that granted her great power at the cost of an even greater sacrifice.
"I'm not sure how fond you would be with the former, I'm not exactly known to be a good sparring partner unless you'd like to lose your body yet again... So perhaps we can talk instead."
She hovered downwards toward the surface, her lips curving into a smirk as she asked the bio-android with a hint of curiosity.
"Reminds me, heard your last visit was caused by the empire. Don't know the details, don't really care about them either. What I want to know is this: Got a grudge to settle with them?"

Koramund twisted his head quite literally to the point where anyone who wasn't stretchy would have snapped. His red eyes glared hungrily at Rei, though there was a calm sadness in his eyes. Burning joy surrounded it, melting down the block a little bit slowly. Koramund commented, "I don't know if I should be 'sorry' or 'happy' at this occasion, though I don't think-" Whatever thought he had in his head rushed out as he felt the power level of the woman in front of her. The next to nude lass was 6,000 in power level?! She was so much more powerful then him he could only lift up a single finger and utter out a weak, "bah... bah... bah..."
He looked up with sweat dripping down every pore of his body. He never knew people in Hell could sweat, so at least he could be credited with this discovery! Next to the actual existence of an after life now that it came to his mind. He quickly agreed with Rei, "...I've tried to get a therapist and a psychologist before... though both of them ended up trying to kill me or betraying me anti-respectively." His messed up logic was the only thing he had within his shaking body. Rei could probably see his fear from a million miles away if she wanted.
His twisted form accsented his words like normal, hand motions and body twitches unfortunately regular around him. He said, "So at this point assuming your drastic transformations that you are bio android yourself..." His body twisted around her, far away to give her personal space but close enough for his horrific fear to be in HD levels of detail. He croaked out, "If I am correct, which at this point either answer only frightens." He melted into a black blob before reforming himself and continuing, "...I have died three times. First to Athren when he went super Saiyan, next to ZUCCETA when she went super saiyan, and now to Mayze when he went Super Saiyan," His rage went out of check as he stomped his foot and grasped the sides of his temple, "...AND THEN ATE A GOD DAMN SENZU!"
His rage ended as he listened to Reikiko. He said, "...Sorry for ignoring your statment of details, but yes I have a fucking problem with the empire and the Saiyans. I hunger, and I want to grow stronger. Each and every time I get close to a suitable prey, one of those bastards who has tens of thousands more power level then me shows up, then goes all GOLD! I can't do anything, and they all end me in a single strike! I train in Hell and on Earth for so many bloody years, and yet nothing I can do can even impact them! I just want to become perfect and feel again, but those Saiyans..."
His eyes burned with such a passion all of his fear of Reikiko was gone. His dark blender of emotions turned to one absolute truth. He wanted to massacure any Saiyan he could and drink their flesh off their bones. He wanted to become stronger then them and make them rue the day they messed up Koramund. He stated with the hate still in his voice, "...Since you asked and teased me of things, it is only fair if I get two back. How did you die oh princess, and why do you ask me of my rage...?"

Fear, it was an emotion she had been slightly familiar with. In the end she had only felt it once in her life but the signs were enough for her to realize that Koramund was at the very least restless around her. When he answered her statement by revealing that he had tried to get an audience with a therapist and psychologist before she couldn't help but let out a brief chuckle. Yes, if he had sought those out while being in hell there was no doubt the bio-android had been dealing with some professionals who needed help themselves. Slowly she descended toward Koramund, and once her feet touched the ground she replied to his revelations.
"The Supah Saiyajin, quite a tainted power by itself, made worse when wielded by certain people. Although I can understand the temptation, the greater the prey, the more delicious the meal. Just... got to be careful not to bite off more than you can chew."
She smiled briefly when finally he stated in a tone that clearly shown his hatred toward the earlier subject. She had to admit the first question was getting fairly old, and while at first it stirred her rage the only thing it did now was subtly provoke the thought she would make the empire pay for its crimes.
"I guess it's only fair I answer your questions. I died because of a miscalculation. A secret weapon of the empire so to speak. Surely if you been in Hell for a while you seen the fight, with how its residents and ogre alike seemed to be betting on the brawl. I was slain... because Zucceta forced Bing into becoming a metallic abomination that is neither alive nor death, man or machine and only a shadow of his true self."
However, the second question made her smile, bending a bit forwards so she was face to face with the mutant himself as she whispered with a tone similar to the temptations of a devil.
"Because rage can be a powerful stimulant. And certainly so does revenge. Unfortunately two of your desired targets are unavailable. Athren has disappeared from existence after my student killed him and Zucceta... I got a grudge to settle with her myself, and anyone who would step between me and my prey would end up here faster than they can scream 'Kikowhat?' But the last... Tell me about this Mayze..."
She paused for a moment, giving him the chance to speak before leaning backwards, pulling her arms lightly behind her back to stretch while declaring in an amused tone.
"Did you know there are two types of predators Koramund? Those who hunt in packs, weaker individually but they rely on numbers or a powerful leader to make up for their weakness. Then you got Apex Predators who hunt by themselves. You're trying to be an Apex Predator, but perhaps you should try to approach it as a pack instead."
A little spin of her body followed as she faced him with her back, her tail making a light swish as she hummed softly, a wave with her hand inviting him to follow her.
"Perhaps I'm merely suggesting your meal might come sooner than you expect, at least should you make the right choices and wait for the right circumstances."
Perfection, they both desired it but yet for different reasons. While she didn't knew what he longed for, she sought perfection to fulfill her destiny, to become a true Apex predator within this universe.
"Soon there will be a conflict, one that will possibly shake up the very state of our galaxy. The empire is making a lot of enemies, some that it doesn't realize the threat they can become. So, instead of being a lion you should play as a vulture. Recklessness is only for those with the power to back up their attitude. Unless you're out of luck and get to deal with a robotic god, then that statement doesn't apply anymore..."

Koramund watched as he laughed and dropped to the floor to greet him properly. His habits kicked in before his instincts, causing him twirl and danced around her like a predator circling a prey, or a prey trying to stay safe while around the predator. He snarled out, "I try to be careful, but every time I fight I don't care about strength. It's always about strength, and it's always about me dying. When I had a pack at first, Vi-poi betrayed me and refused to help. Then he became Re-Alinger Red. Then against Zucceta, I was simply causing destruction in Vegeta for revenge. It was simply bad luck... but then Mayze! Oh..." He walked away for a moment before turning on his head and aimming a finger to the sky, "That bastard! The Saiyan shows up at Namek right when lots of small fries appeared around the men known as Xylo and Alastair and Kizuki. My plan was to murder one of the weaklings and eat them while no one noticed and utilize my Bio Metabolism. Then I would be strong enough to charge from a distance away and murder them all! But then Mayze showed up, and I decided to tag along with him until I discovered he was with the Empire... I fought for my only friends."
Koramund snarled in misery before looking up at Rei. He grasped half of his face in agony, but said, "You may think I intend to be a Apex predator... but every time I try to be a pack beast. When I be the vulture, I be the vulture for the wrong team. I have friends that I love... but every since Aksor died I can't feel any of it. I just want to get a heart again... get a true soul. The only way for me to do that is to become perfect...but since I'm here you know the answer..."
He stood within her shadow as she told him to follow, upon which he did. His own tail didn't help him balance, for his center of gravity was strong enough. He listened to her Omen sorrowfully before stating, "I believe I should be 'sorry' for you dying by this Bing I have not heard of before. But if I must be a vulture, I wish to be a vulture for the right side. I don't want to be useless anymore... I don't want any of this. But the longer I hunger... the harder it is to think. Have you ever had that torture Rei..?" he spoke only truths with his heart open for some reason, maybe due to loneliness, or maybe just due to finding someone of his kind, "Have you ever been so powerless that not even your body obeyed you? Watching everything around you you care about die and enslave you, and when you finally break free it all goes to hell? I want it gone... and since this is your first time to Hell you will find a gate out of here easy. So answer me this... Why do you tell me all of this? Do you want this vulture to follow the She-wolf... you?"

It was shortly after he asked her about the haunting feeling of the hunger that Reikiko shook her head lightly, turning sideways to look at the bio-android that accompanied her. Although she did hunger, it was not for prey, but for perfection. The instinct to feed was not one she possessed unless it was for the reason of obtaining power. Nevertheless, the question did make her think back about the words spoken by her sister.
"I do not hunger for a meal, but for power Koramund. While I might look human, I am still a predator at heart so when my instincts become too strong I do lose more of my 'humanity', consider it like becoming more of a beast as the chains are forced off my mind."
She smiled briefly at he asked her about if she ever felt powerless, a question that surprisingly enough caused her to laugh. If only he had known how often she felt such a feeling. She had lost her master because she was too weak, failed to rescue Bing because of her weakness and now was unable to save Kaula because of her lack of power.
"It's a feeling I am quite familiar with. In the end it's those feelings that make us strive to become greater, to reach perfection so we can escape from such torture."
She paused for a moment as he asked her about the reason for her words, and for a moment she turned her gaze away, before she stated in a calm tone.
"To tell you to merely follow my trail would just hinder your potential Koramund. I want to see your true capacities, your ability to evolve beyond the beast, beyond the monster. Are you merely a bird waiting to swoop in on a meal, or will you evolve into something greater?"
She finally turned to lean against a nearby tree they had passed and smiled briefly.
"Yet the way you are right now is unfitting for my plans. You're like a man trapped within the body of a beast that lacks the ability to dominate it, instead the beast is the one dominating you. I can offer you a means Koramund, a chance to change that if successful will not only grant you the meal you desire, but also..."
For a moment she paused, her lips curving up into a smirk.
"Change your very existence. In layman terms I can make you able to tame the beast you became, at that point it all depends on your own determination and will. Will you become a mindless vulture soaring the sky only caring about a feast, or will you become a warrior who sees beyond the meal, beyond the battle and who aims for much more. I plan to create something, but for that to happen I am gathering people, people with certain qualities. You might lack them right now, but given a chance you could get the potential to become such an individual."
And then it came, the forbidden fruit so to speak.
"So tell me Koramund: Do you have the power to overcome your hunger? The will to control the beast? If you can I would have a trial for you, a challenge so to speak. If you succeed you'll learn to control your hunger, your primal instincts would become a weapon rather than the leash that controls you. And about why I'm offering you this: This isn't an act of kindness Koramund. I am not that naive anymore... Consider it more like a contract with the devil himself. A chance to obtain the things you desire, but in exchange I'm not going to ask just for your soul.."
No, that twinkle in her eyes shown she had planned something.
"Everything Koramund, devote your entire being to my cause and in return you will obtain this perfection you desire. Follow my plan and you'll ascend to that power you seek. Nevertheless, if you were to think about something ridiculous like betraying me..."
She paused for a moment, a hand raised toward her mask as she slowly pulled a part of it sideways, the power of the Makaioken seemingly causing her presence to grow far more intense, to the point it doubled in power as her eye gazed with a surprising intensity at him.
"Hell itself would be considered a paradise once I'm done with traitors."
Slowly she pulled the mask back on, letting out a soft sigh as her corrupted aura faded away.
"Just don't become a loose cannon, the last thing I need is a wild card in my deck."

Koramund snickered, so this was the true apple of agony? The final fruit that came across his path was so close to being plucked by another. She held it just within his grasp, and told him to give her everything. The sad thing was just how easy it would be. He was already a broken man and nothing more. He had nothing... and he was all he had left. This was even more then his soul, for it was his entity. His purpose to thrive... but he just died. He for the first time in a long while, smiled with care in his heart. This would be his truest opportunity, his only way to thrive in the world of gods. His hunger for perfection was ironically to be shackled again. He wanted to feel, he wanted to love, he wanted to hate, and whatever emotions he feinted were just that, quick and false. He could never feel the way he wanted, and so he needed to do this.
He spoke rapidly, commenting on every sentence she said, "The torture is oh to real. Every wakening moment, hunger and trying to strive. Yet you are so close, we both can feel that I bet." He stalked around her, the inquisitive side of his nature finally getting a chance to shine. He wanted so badly to pin her down and feast on her, but he knew he couldn't. She was to strong, and yet this angel-like form reminded him of her. He saw the white angel's form with dark wings of shade. Her beautiful eyes, the spiked mask around her face that danced like a flora tattoo. Her slender frame, oh dear Sacrid. She was so beautiful when she changed in death, just for him. He was blind, but looking back he knew what had happened. She turned herself into the angel she wanted to be for him, to thank him for everything. Now he didn't have the heart to cry over his sister's death. Now he couldn't cry over him abandoning her.
Koramund snapped at the chance she offered, "When you tried to murder me, you should have known what I was planning on doing! Everything I do is an attempt to overcome, to evolve, to adapt! Every time... oh screw it." He waited silently until her offer finally arrived. He thought only one thought after she stated what she wanted. This is everything he was, more then just his soul... yet this was his only chance for success. He stated bluntly, "...I swear my life, my soul, my being and my very existence to you. Though in return, I ask for another thing..."
He asked his question with some fear, "...Why did you help Zucceta try and kill me back in Jingle Village... and help me now?"

"Because I wanted to see how hard you could go 'splat'."
Her statement seemed rather serious, as if she wasn't joking around but after a moment she closed her eyes, her smile slowly surfacing as she hummed teasingly.
"Just kidding."
No, at least he deserved to know the reason she attacked him back in Jingle Village, and for a moment she closed her eyes to think back about the scene. Back then she aided Zucceta because of her beliefs, because of the teachings of her father, and most of all because she was misguided.
"Why did I help Zucceta? You could say it was because I was delusional. Like a child I believed in fairy-tales, the thought of being a hero that would help defeat the big bad monster made me act. I desired to be a savior, the hero the galaxy needed, a desire born from the influence of my father, the previous Kami of Earth. Nevertheless, every child has to grow up and learn the hardships of reality. I am not suited to play the act of a hero, never was a good actor for that type of thing anyway."
She briefly shook her head in response to her own statement when finally she continued.
"Back then you were a threat to my dreams, to my ambitions so I decided to aid them. You see Koramund, the way you are right now you simply are making enemies from those who could be allies. You were broken, and in your state you became a monster that gives even me the chills. What I need is not a monster, I need a man willing to evolve beyond the petty boundaries forced upon our bodies. A man who feels emotions and has the intelligence of a knight, not the mind of a rabid dog."
She paused for a moment and leaned forwards, a fingertip pointing at his face.
"So the reason I'm helping you is to turn you into my personal dark knight, a warrior willing to do what needs to be done, who knows were his loyalty belongs and... who would have the pleasure of striking down the foes that caused him such suffering, and perhaps even enjoy a feast alongside it. Why would I want you to obtain a less creepy demeanor?"
As she raised the question she smiled briefly.
"For starters everyone likes handsome men a bit more than monstrous creatures, even I do. And well... I don't think my wives would be able to feel at ease if you're prowling around them looking as if you would eat them the unpleasant way."
She snickered briefly while leaning back against the tree.
"So simply said? We both desire revenge against the empire, I see you having the potential to make that revenge easier, albeit whether you'll become a tool, a sword to be wielded or a proper ally depends on your own actions."

Abruptly, Koramund's entire body exploded into a mush of black before it twirled around itself. He always did have a Human form he wanted to try, though the blue hair would probably make people think he would be a Saiyan. If he had to be less intimidating, then he will simply have to be one of them. The black goop formed a slender, near feminine shape but it expanded slightly. Color came flooding in and detail chiseled hard into the thing.By the time the mutations had stopped, there stood a clothed Human starring straight at her. Bright blue hair raggedly hung down to his nose that nearly shined next to his light amber eyes. A shallow scar went across his left eye laterally. A white mask rested on the side of his head to remind himself of what he was, a beast wearing a mask. He had a sharp, small nose and a wide razor sharp grin. A large pitch black cloak rippled around him, moving to the slight wind of Hell. He wore a white kimono with a blood red undershirt. The slender man dropped to a knee, and looked at Rei in the eyes. He spoke in a smoother, calmer voice, a near constant whisper yet always loud enough to be heard, "I promise my dear, I will be your loyal knight of shadows. Your Servant of Evil..." He raised his crude stone sword as it abruptly erupted into jade flame. The Sword of Oryx that he had stolen a long time ago sharpened it's edge. It grew longer, the blade turning into a rounded edged katana. The tip was sharp, but the rest was rounded like settled sand. The blade vanished, as he looked to his new master. He asked in his calm, nearly dream-like voice, "Pardon though... You never did introduce yourself to be other then Rei. What is your full name princess? And what do you will my name to be?"

The change the bio-android surprised her a little, perhaps because she had not expected for him to actually take the disguise of a human. For a moment she couldn't blink in confusion, yet as she saw the sword by his side she seemed to develop an idea. A human disguise was good, but so was the ability to look intimidating. In the end it was for that reason she approached him, trying to place a hand on his shoulder. "A sword deserves a knight, and a knight deserves an Armor. I think I got the perfect idea, but for this you'll have to show your trust in me Koramund, stand still for a moment..." As she spoke the disguised Bio-android would likely notice that the scales on the back of Reikiko's hand started to stir, slowly expanding over her fingertips and slowly but certainly, if he didn't try to escape the carapace would start to cover his body. Steadily it grown larger, till it formed a rather impressive-looking dark armor, one that even had the ability to let his tail poke out freely, partly armored by the carapace. "Let's see... How about we call you..." She tapped a hand to her cheek, as if she was thinking carefully on the name when finally her lips curved up into a smirk. "From today onward your name is Gaius, Gaius the Black Wolf." She nodded her head firmly as she stepped backwards to admire the knight's new look. "How does it feel? Try to channel your ki through the armor, it might take a bit of practice but in due time you'll be able to manipulate the armor at will, it will become a part of your body. Consider it a... gift." She smiled briefly while gesturing toward the nearby path, as if to suggest they would resume their walk. "My full name is Reikiko, of the Chimera Project. However, in the days to come I will become known as the White Queen, or the Chimera Queen, the leader of the Chimera Federation." She paused for a bit, before looking back at Koramund, or rather Gaius. "If you're willing I don't mind training you, we will have some time when I'm not busy learning the secrets of a certain prince. Perhaps some additional power will help you gain what you need a bit faster. However, you are more than free to retain your old look while within the armor, none will be able to see your true appearance while you're coated in the armor, it becomes a part of your body... a second layer of skin so to speak. Some might consider it a prison, I'd say it's more like a representation of what you will become." She paused for a bit, before asking with only the faintest hint of concern in her tone: "So Gaius, is your name and title fine? If not I can think of a different name, it sounded rather stylish for one who has such a role as yours." ---- Rei's armor design would allow Koramund/Gaius to look like: cdnlava360.saturn.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/dark_knight_ver_2.jpg'potential UT he could earn: [UT] Armor of the Black Wolf: A technique granted upon him by Reikiko upon request of concealing the monster he had become. Blessed with some of the bio-android's carapace, he is now able to channel his ki into it to produce a solid suit of armor, that looks quite intimidating, yet allows him to retain his true form beneath it! a perfect disguise, not to mention the ability to use his tail would surely be a boon. The armor can be willingly activated, or shrunk away by channeling some energy into the carapace, a physical part of it seemingly branded upon his shoulder, almost like a symbolic sign of their alliance.

Koramund stood silently as the scales slowly fled from Reikiko and flooded his flesh. The scales hardened as it turned into the dark blue steel-like material. The carapace sparkled a little bit, and his ki had changed from his pitch black and blood red, to a light blueish teal color. He could get used to this, he supposed. He raised up a single hand to test out the armor, feeling how tight it was against his skin, yet comfertable. It was slowly relaxing, and becoming as Rei said, a second layer of flesh. Almost instantly as if he was used to it, the black cape rose up to become dragon or vampire like wings! Muscle and bone grew while the main membrane of the cloak turned into dark blue scales, making it look natural to the armor. He stated with a smile, "Gaius, the name that was most used during the Roman period if my Human studies are correct. It would be fine Princess... Magnificent indeed..." He didn't know why he called her princess, maybe it was because as she said she hasn't become the white queen yet, but Gaius was pretty sure that he would get used to it.
Koramund kept on switching how he internally called himself to try and remind himself that he still was someone else, until he remembered the deal. Koramund always was bad at following deals, his instincts just forced him away and out from everybody. Today, he was reborn from his hatred. He was reborn due to caring enough to listen. He was Gaius, the Black Wolf of the White Queen. He took to a more kind approach, but all would know his wrath when he acquired more power. He commented, "...Prince... do you mean the man known as Beelzebub? If so, I have met with him. Stole some of my Shoki, but maybe I can find him again to be trained. Though I would love training from you as well. Unlike you, since I've died three times, it will take me a tremendous amount of effort to break free from here. At first I could make the trip with a couple thousand Shoki, then the price quadrupled. Now it has nearly doubled... It will take me close to 7 times the effort I am afraid. Every time I've been down here I've been so very lonely. I would love to finally have not only company... but someone to serve. I know I never had the chance, but did you know I am actually pretty good at cooking?" He was trying his hardest to try and be a different man, taking the opportunity and instead of crying about his lose, grabbing it and showing it to the world with joy. He finally felt like he could find his place in life soon, the whole reason he joined up with Wyntre. To be the man he wanted to be. He finally felt... happy.

The Bio-android seemed a bit surprised at the fact her companion was familiar with Beezlebub's name, but in the end she thought that with how often Gaius had been within the afterlife, that he might had some opportunities to meet the prince. In the end she nodded her head lightly in response, albeit she felt slightly bewildered at the talk about 'Shoki', but she concluded it might had involved this spiritual energy they could obtain while within the afterlife.
"Yes, I mean Beezlebub... However, I didn't think you were one to practice a hobby like cooking."
Surely it would be less destructive than the cooking of a Saiyan, right? They had just arrived at a small clearing, and seemingly having some idea the bio-android decided to entertain her new knight a little. She raised a hand toward the clearing, letting her Namekian heritage stir, and soon her ki seemed to flow outwards, manifesting what appeared to be an entire open kitchen, and there were even various ingredients at display for him to use.
"I'm actually rather fond of human cuisine, although my palette usually remains limited to specific things. How about a little challenge Gaius? You'll discover among the assets I prepared in your kitchen some apples. Your test is simple: Provide me with a dish that uses said apples in some form, you'll need to use your own ki to fuel the tools but that shouldn't be an issue."
She had already taken a seat at the nearby table that was conjured, the other seat remaining unoccupied for Gaius, and with a smile she started to observe him.
"You're a man full of surprises, pretty fascinating. Either way, I'll be open for conversation... It's the least I can do to repay your service, and a good way to pass the time."
She smiled while waiting for the man to raise a subject for them to talk about. Yes, perhaps she could help Gaius obtain the power he sought, and in return gain a worthy ally to her cause.

Gaius sighed before he walked over to the formed kitchen set. He turned his head towards reikiko and asked amused, "You can form kitchens and ingredients? Can't you just make an apple treat princess?" He used his ki to set his own hands on fire. He commented internally the fact that heat just straight up never worked for him combat, so he just decided that it would be a spectacle. His tail stabbed four apples, coring the apples by consuming the seeds. He sent out his ki to pour up the stove and pre-heated it close to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, before placing a stick of butter into the pan. He used his tail to hold the saucepan, adjusting it as he needed. He grew a second set of arms and allowed the armor to fold over them. Two of his hands grabbed peelers. He positioned them at the tops of two apples, and began their job. His other two hands supported the apples, before switching their roles for the last two apples. Each of his four hands then grasped a knife each and slashed into the apples uniformly. With one barrage of chops, he had 8 apples. Another, and he had 16. Two more later, and they multiplied to 32.
Now with 32 apple slices, he leaped a few feet to cabinet. His heavy suit rattled violently for a few moments before Gaius's own movements overpowered it. Dough, perfect! His helmet peeled open like a flower to reveal hundreds of tiny red eyes that watched the fresh dough fall in mid air. His hands snapped forward, grasping the four blobs and slamming them down with the utmost haste. He spoke towards the table, "So princess, could you please tell me what has transpired since our last meeting that fateful day? I must say that I am not fond of keeping time, so for all I know it could have been yesterday. If you don't want to though it's quite alright. Maybe how the Onis treat you?" He was dedicated to his art of flame and steel. He counted all the dough he had... yes 40 ounces would be perfectly fine here. He was doubling a recipe because as he thought was common knowledge, Bio Androids can have an absurdly fast metabolism.
His tail quickly positioned itself to grab two baking dishes. his tail split into two separate hands like a pocket monster and aimed spray bottles into the pans. They unleashed the greasy liquid to as the name would say, grease the pans. He grabbed two one and a half cups of white sugar and poured them into the buttered sauce pan. His other two hands put two cups worth of cinnamon rapidly behind the sugar. Now that the oven was prepared, and so was the coating, he began to go to the easiest part of the whole thing. He chopped the dough into squares, then triangles. With the dough prepared, he placed the apple chunks at the short tips of the dough. He rolled each sweet apple in, and pinched them all shut. He grabbed the dough covered apples and placed each of them into the pans.
Now came in the fun part. He poured the butter sugar cinnamon mixture over the top of the dough apples to give them a rich flavor. His tail speared the top of two bottles of soda. He poured all of them out into the pans, one bottle for each. He gently placed them on separate shelves inside the Oven. He silently closed the lid and returned to the mixture he made. He got out a pint of ice cream and put it in the sugary mixture, heating it down to a soup. He super charged the Oven to bake as hard as it could! DING! Close to 43 minutes of baking done within a minute! Ki, the wonderful power of spirit. He found a large serving tray and placed it on the table. He used two of his hands to put the dumplings in a large triangle, and his other two hands to pour out the sweet, cinnamon ice cream mixture over the apples.
When Gaius was over, the Black Wolf had made steaming hot apple dumplings with cinnamon ice cream sauce! He retracted his second set of arms and returned his face back to Human form. With his neck exposed, it showed some sort of Namekian muscle covering. He silently plopped down into his chair, waiting for Reikiko to take a bite. He sighed as he commented, "Sorry if it's too sweat. It may sound very strange... but one of the women who was dear to me was a bloody pink child. She loved sweets, so I wanted to make her somethin'... I died before I got the chance... I haven't seen her since. We both were friends to the other, and I bet you know Wyntre. Both she and Zexama were so kind to me, even if Wyntre could be... stubborn. They might be great allies for us, I do believe Wyntre has been revived since I last saw her!"

Another history lesson? This was already the second time in a week someone desired to know of the events that unfolded within the world of the living. Nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to explain things to him, and while she silently watched Gaius prepare his dish she finally started to tell him about the events that had unfolded.
"Well, let's see... Since you were around when Namek got revived, I guess that means you know of the recent invasion by the empire. After Earth retaliated, it seemed their queen desired to bolster her forces after the betrayal of one of her strongest assets. She traveled to a planet, one I believe to be within Arcosian space and use the Tree of Might upon it. Several individuals went to stop them, spearheaded by the late Kami of the planet. It seemed that his death, and the ascension of their queen into an even more powerful state beyond the Supah Saiyajin forced them to retreat. You'd likely be happy to know Zexama survived, I did sense her presence a while before I died. After that you can guess the rest, the events on Vegeta were seemingly quite a popular betting match in here, heck even King Yemma commented on it..."
She paused for a moment, looking with a hint of fascination at the apple dumplings. Although she would have usually used her tail, she decided to show at least some elegance by using her mouth instead, a soft nibble being made before she shook her head with a smile.
"There is no need to apologize Gaius, when your sister is a Majin with a sweet-tooth you'll get some tolerance to it. Fortunately the sweetness is mild compared to Zexama's apple candies. Yes, that silly pink girl was taken in by Scargot shortly after I was. Perhaps we'll get the chance to meet her again soon, I'm sure she'd be delighted to try out your excellent cooking."
She grinned briefly at the compliment she gave him, yet the name that followed made Reikiko frown, seemingly wondering about something.
"Wyntre, the name is familiar to me. The fallen empress, the Arcosian who was the first victim of the empire's campaign. I heard a lot of rumors about her power in the past, but..."
She heard the name before, albeit she chuckled briefly as she continued her explanation.
"The Arcosian Empire is in disorder, and with the aforementioned Empress being too soft in nature to put the empire to its true potential... I'm not certain how worthy of an ally she would be, not to mention my wife has a bit of a history with her."
The bio-android smiled briefly as she slowly took another bite, humming softly.
"Wyntre is indeed known for her stubbornness, and from what Kaula told me a rather 'peculiar' attitude to come along with it. In fact, judging from how the stories go it's a miracle she was able to unite the fiefdoms in the past. Either way, to return to the subject at hand: Let us just say I got plans for the Arcosian Empire, ones you might enjoy since they bring you so much closer to the perfection you desire. But tell me first, what is your opinion of Wyntre? If she was your ally, then why... did she send a little toy to support you during the events at Jingle Village?"
She closed her eyes for a moment, whispering sorrowfully.
"If that was your ally, then you were betrayed... Nevertheless, let us talk more on the subject at hand."
She paused for a moment, seemingly considering something, when finally she started her explanation.
"I'll need you to obtain the means to leave Hell within a month Gaius, a bit longer perhaps, but I'll need you to return to the world of the living, and then meet me at Earth. The first phase of my plans will be set into motion then, a phase that will most likely grant you the means to get the meal you desire. However..."
She closed her eyes and whispered softly.
"I can only promise you Zexama's safety, Kaula is rather hotheaded, and if there is bad blood between her and the late empress, you can imagine things won't end up well. Let us just say that Wyntre's fate is in her own hands, it all depends on how she approaches the second chance she was given."
She had just finished the apple dumpling while she looked at the knight.
"Feel free to speak freely Gaius, does it bother you that you might be forced to face one you'd consider a friend? It's an understandable feeling, but you'd better come to accept it, in the end not everyone will agree with our methods, and at some point those who we once called friends might try to oppose us."
Like her own best friend...
"But I'm fairly confident my sisterly bond with Zexama should be enough to make the girl stay out of danger. Nevertheless, the Arcosian empire needs to become a powerful force once more, in the end any threat to the Solar Saiyan Empire is a boon to us. And knowing how Arcose was crushed... I'd rather see first how they plan to avenge their fallen and the potential of their growth, before wanting a piece of their pie..."

Gaius listened, even if he did not want to. He balled his fists, in agony as he thought and his heart pulsated. He just wanted perfection... but it would require slaughter now to assist the White Queen. He did not know what to say, let alone do. He couldn't turn against Zexama... but he had to. His eyes snapped open with a new found determination, and he spoke, "It would make me hurt if I had to... but I am a man of my word. Heh..." He slammed his elbows down into the table and grabbed his head. He commented dreadfully, "This is a lot for a 13 year to handle isn't princess? But I will do as the song says, I will sin and I will kill, I'll sacrifice my all." Now that he was thinking about it, he wanted to murder Wyntre for what she did to him. He never had the power to do a thing about it... and now he maybe did.
His thoughts raced, and with it he got up from the chair. He pointed to himself and asked, "Princess, if Wyntre opposes us and we must kill her... May I claim the title of the Lord of Arcose under you? I was born a noble Arcosian until my mother condemned me to death. I could help keep it under your control while easing over tensions. I would love to have the chance to fix my home, and be able to learn how to rule."
He sighed, but stated, "...I will gladly be able to find an escape in a month. Though I would appreciate some assistance. As I said, it will take me 7 times the effort as you would to break out of here. I know many ways... but this place adapts to you. I had to lead a whole revolution to just break out the last time!"
