Seeking A General (Habana, Closed)

Habana raised an eyebrow as she felt a substantial energy signature entering Namek’s atmosphere, she’d been expecting a DEPARTURE of such a signature any day now not an arrival but as she focused in on it she realized that the signature was not only entering but also quite a bit stronger than Riku. It lay in the general realm of Mayze however she knew it was not the General as she was familiar with the ‘feel’ of his energy signature whereas this one was entirely foreign.

“Jala, Gin, Akushi head into the village and meet with the locals, Akushi no pranks that involve bodily harm” Habana ordered her secondary order earning a groan of frustration from the demonic Heran. Jala raised an eyebrow at the rather sudden order and the important fact that Habana excluded herself from heading to the village though she would not directly question her Commander's order the look was enough for Habana to understand she was hoping for some sort of explanation. “Something is coming, its no danger to me but I’m not sure what it’s intentions are with Namek. It’s just touched down a bit away so I’ll give a moment or so before pursuing it.” Habana stated Jala nodded knowing there was little chance any arriving force short of Earth’s top dogs could actually harm Habana.

The trio took off for the village just as Habana began to feel the signature making its way in what appeared to be a beeline for herself. A few moments later with her squad gone the warrior the signature belonged to arrived revealing it to be a young saiyan woman. “Then I’d suggest speaking. Starting with your name would be nice unless you’d prefer ‘you’ or ‘girl’” Habana said with a friendly smirk curious as to what was so urgent and more importantly who this girl was.

The girl, Arias, launched rather quickly into a lengthy explanation of her situation she’d apparently been detained on Earth for some length of time by the Galactic Patrol a group that from what Habana understood had begun to grow rather quickly basing itself chiefly out of Earth before sort of petering out or perhaps intentionally dropping off the radar. Her attempts to flee resulted in a more forceful effort to keep her detained though from what it sounded like she’d not been detained in a prison but rather to the Earth itself. A strange thing to do on the Patrol’s part.

Habana was just about to interrupt her to ask something but then the story got a bit more interesting and frankly confusing as all hell, Arias refrenced ‘reporting to Bing’ and before Habana could stop her to question what that even meant she explained that she had gone to her home meeting with Kay-El another name Habana recognized, and then she had been KILLED by Kay-El.

That part was of course a bit tough for Habana to believe considering the fact that Arias was standing before her very much not dead. Habana briefly wondered if this was some sort of weird vision of some sort, if it was though it was utterly unlike any of her others. She referenced a brand she bore for the Empire and gave a bit more information on the fight but Habana was only barely paying attention.

“Alright I’m going to need you to slow down and let's take this conversation a couple of steps back because I’ve got a couple questions that need answering. Firstly what do you mean you ‘reported’ to Bing be VERY specific” Habana said stressing the words as much as she could in hopes the girl would give as much detail as possible, it was of course entirely possible that there was a warrior in the Empire that bore that name, the universe was vast and nothing made a name unique to an individual. But it was not a particularly Saiyan name, nor Kabochan, perhaps a hybrid?

“Then you’re going to explain how it is that if you WERE killed by Kay that you are standing before me now because I’ll be quite honest, you having a pulse is doing a lot of damage to your claims.” Habana stated, she was vaguely aware that Pin and Kay had been involved in some sort of dispute on Vegeta but it was something that Pin had said he’d tell her about at length next time they met up.

Pin had gone off to set up his own organization, the White List which in theory would explain him and Kay acting on Galactic Patrol ‘orders’ Habana was having a hard time believing that the Patrol would contract a mercenary group, let alone one with such direct ties to the Empire to kill someone for them. They were by all understand a group geared towards enforcing galactic peace and protection, a group of glorified space cops.

Habana had hoped that once she demanded the girl back up and start expanding on what she had meant that suddenly everything would make a lot more sense, she’d explain clearly who the Bing she had met was, then go on to explain that she had misspoke and that she had not -actually- died but rather had come very close to death and been rescued in some manner.

Instead what habana got was vague statements implying the Bing she had met was a cyborg, an INCREDIBLY disconcerting notion, and then further attempts to convince her that she had in fact been dead, worryingly however was that she made claims of having met two other dead people, one Habana was aware of the death of, Reikiko had been from what she had learned from Zucceta the woman who had made a fuss during the battle in Korgutsu square and likewise had been one of the warriors to stand against Zucc during the invasion alongside Vipoi, Bing, and the others.

Then she claimed to meet Zerori in death which caused Habana’s eyebrow to raise, as far as she knew Zerori was not dead, though she had not seen the other hybrid in quite some time Habana had simply been under the belief she’d gone back to wherever she had been prior to the planting of the Tree of Might on Kanassa. As Habana did her best to process the first chunk of information Arias had dumped on her the girl continued on talking about Kay and Pin and then explaining and displaying that she was a super saiyan.

The comments on Pin and Kay were dismissed almost as quickly as they were made but Arai’s claim that Habana could ask Mayze about the event however brought up a good idea, while she could call Mayze she was actually uncertain if the General actually knew her scouter ID, Pin however knew it well and she KNEW Pin would have his scouter as it was quite literally apart of him.

“Alright give me a moment to verify your claim about the battle you mentioned, once that is settled it will greatly influence whether or not I believe you.” Habana said raising a hand to tap the side of her scouter a few times the devices would beep several times as she input a familiar scouter ID.

Presuming that Pin picked up she would rather immediately launch into her question rather than greeting him by name “Important question, do you know of a saiyan woman named Arias?”

Pin

Arias quirked a brow as Habana contacted someone on her scouter. Verifying the battle..? Wait is she contacting that tin can son of a bitch? Referring to Pin, she didn't really like the android very well. She kept her head however, remaining calm on the outside.

"So, was the battle verified or not? Rumors abound that I defected from the empire I must acknowledge if whoever you contacted claimed I defected. When returning to the planet Earth, I had to falsely defect from the empire in order to keep them from thinking I was a spy, and to continue my training on the planet."

Her tail would merely flick from side to side, the Saiyaness huffing slightly. "It seemed to work, however, I was impounded by the Galactic Patrol on the planet soon after I returned."

She would then silence, waiting for Habana to speak. Keeping calm about her voice, her eyes were currently expressionless as the warrior female folded her arms. "To make sure I have given you and the empire my loyalty, you may cut off my tail if you so wish." Her tail was something she clearly prized, yet should she need to prove herself, she would allow it to be cut.

Arias flicked her tail from side to side, sighing as she thinking to Habana had said. How did she get back? Escaped Hell, obviously. Not voicing the fact she wondered if Habana was a little bit stupid, the Saiyaness spoke. "Using my Super Saiyan form, I discovered a tear in reality and worked it open by ripping it apart with my bare hands. Super Saiyan power alone was not enough, I needed to have enough arm power to hold it open as I slipped my body through. It sealed after I got through, falling down to the place I was killed on Vegeta."

She looked at Habana as she spoke, watching for her reaction. The young female warrior was a bit tired of explaining how she returned and what happened, seeing as the General didn't even seem to believe her at all. It frustrates her to the points where she pinched the bridge of her nose briefly. Deciding to calm down, she took a deep breath and let it out, before returning her gaze to the Commander.

Habana raised an eyebrow as Arias gave her explanation on how she had escaped the afterlife just a touch unsure if she should believe the young woman, was it really that simple? She supposed that actually HAVING the power to accomplish what Arias claimed was a rarity though every day now it seemed to become less and less rare, would that mean, if Arias was being truthful, that more people would be tearing through the afterlife to return to the world of the living? And did that actually even make Arias a living being? Tall tales were told of warriors brave and strong enough to return from the dead but usually it involved some form of proper revival, Arias had effectively just kicked open the door and walked out by her claims. Then again perhaps she was being intentionally misleading? It would make sense that if she was granted return somehow that it was conditional on her keeping the method secret.

Habana kept her expression mostly neutral once Arias finished, the girl appeared just a bit agitated, perhaps frustration over Habana not immediately believing her? If she was being truthful Habana could only imagine how frustrating it might be to try explaining to people the process of dying and then coming back. Pin piped up again indicating that by all accounts Arias HAD died, his internal scouter had read indicated a lack of energy and thus far Habana had not encountered anyone with a normal energy signature that could completely dampen it.

Pin then questioned why she was asking about Arias and Habana gave him a moment before responding so that he could see the attached file, another moment as he took it in and he asked the important question. “That she is, I’m here with her now.” Habana stated to the scouter before returning her attention to Arias. “You’ll have to forgive me but as far as I know you are the first genuine case of someone returning from the dead, it might not be much fun having me question you but you can’t exactly expect me to NOT attempt to ascertain if you are being truthful and if you are how the afterlife functions. Zucceta has an odd sort of fascination with it so she’d likely have twice as many questions.”

"You ask me, we'd all be better off if you put  her right back in the ground.  But that's just my professional opinion.  You want to keep her alive, I won't stop you."

Pin approached the common area of the Pixie, pouring himself a glass of Kabochan Redbreast.  This was not how he'd expected today to go down.

"If you do keep her alive, put her in cuffs, throw her in the deepest cell in Knutts.  We don't need traitors and insurgents causing problems for the Empire right now."
