Kizuki didn't take what Alaistair did and said well. He sent a ki blast at his feet, creating dust to smother Alaistair's sight. He stayed on the ground, as Kizuki shot up into the air in a blue fireball! His power was rising rapidly... Was he intending to smash Alaistair with something?
"Kizuki, keep that rage in check! IN CHECK," Alaistair shouted! Kizuki's energy, however, seemed to keep rising up!
The Devil balled one hand up, his own energy rising as he thought, "I don't think he's going to be listening... That blood of his needs to be chilled... It's just a spar after all!"
Energy flooded into his fist, as he looked up at him. Alaistair knelt down, bringing his other hand down and pooling energy into it. He opened his hands up, two very dense orbs forming in them! He shouted to Kizuki, "You want a challenge of force? Very well! Try this on for size!"
Alaistair slammed both orbs together, his hands cupped away from himself. The clashing energy violently molded into a massive beam, heading straight towards Kizuki! This was the Devil Kai's Might!

As the smoke cleared from his little diversion, Kizuki would see Alaistair standing there, shouting up at him to keep his rage in check. Rage? No, that's not what this was. This was a fight, a battle, a means to increase his strength. It was something he took very seriously. His aura continued to flow around him, pulsating and growing in power with each passing moment he focused on his inner energy. Even his dogi swayed with the flow of the aura around him, glaring black pools staring a hole down at Alaistair. The Devil would accept his "challenge" firing off a pillar of his own ki at him in the form of an attack, though Kizuki had already begun to move his own energy within his own palms. In a one fluid motion, he'd throw both arms up in front of him, at chest level, and linked together at the wrist. A large, swirling orb of ki had instantly begun to form within his grasp, and eventually would peak in power. From within that orb, his own wave of energy was released, similar in nature to Alaistair's. Before long, both beams would slam into each other, one struggling to overtake the other. It seemed that their attacks were so very close in power. Kizuki's veins would pop from under his skin, along his arms and forehead, struggling to maintain balance in the air, feeling himself being push to the limit of his attack. "Kchhh'! " Was that sound that came out from between clenched teeth, his body trembling from the energy output he was displaying. Energy against energy, some of the "splintering" bits of those attacks would detach and fly off, causing smaller explosions elsewhere along the mountainside. Kizuki could feel the pressure building, the attacks were nearly dead even with each other and wouldn't last very long struggling head to head the way they were. Eventually, both beams of ki energy would disperse in a massive explosion, causing some of the rock formations around Mount Ketsueki to be blown away. The plume of smoke that formed was thick, nearly swallowing up the entire area, giving Kizuki a moment to lower his body down back to ground level. The moment he spent on the ground would also his give time a few seconds to recover, or however long Alaistair decided not to attack. Even floating in the air after expending that much energy would give him a bit of a strain to his body unless he had the time to catch his breath a bit, they were under rough conditions after all. He'd take his time, wiping his sweaty brow with his right forearm, offering an explanation to the Devil. "You misunderstand, Devil. It's not rage. Spar or battle to the death, Saiyajin take their battles quite seriously. It's the only way we can focus on maintaining our position as the greatest Warrior Race in the Universe." He could feel his body coming back down to normal levels after all that stress, spitting a wad of saliva off to the side as he dug his feet back into the ground, in a firmly planted defensive stance.

Kizuki unleashed his power, and cancelled out Alaistair's mighty blast! The beams clashing caused the air to become intensely heated, as they pressed against one another! Alaistair was impressed with the power the saiyan displayed! He also felt the saiyan's energy calming down quite a bit, as he lowered to the ground. He told Alaistair it was the need to take this spar seriously, and any spar or battle that way, for it was their way. Alaistair nodded and shrugged, with his mouth agape as he huffed! He replied to Kizuki, "True... That's why I went to Vegeta when that Android was going wild! You and your people have integrity, buuu-"
Alaistair yawned, feeling more tired out than he expected, accidentally cutting off mid-sentence, "-aaacch! Gah... Man, that took more out of me than I thought. As I was saying though: You and your people have integrity and that is important to have! However, you can be prone to make bad decisions. Zucceta, the Queen, is a smart person, but when the invasion happened, many of her most powerful left her! Do you recall the questions I posed to her? They were intended to bring out a weakness in her leadership. From there, she showed that weakness, quickly ending the conference after trying to argue, to a foreigner of her realm, that she couldn't have known! A response that normally leads to the death of leaders... However, since our talks with Reikiko and Zerori, we've learned she's resorted to acquiring new strength, in both herself and others. Crutches are all they are for that broken leader! And a lesson for you to learn from, as well!"
The devil raise his elbows up to near shoulder level, while his hand hung in front of his face with fingers partly curled. He decided he'd wait for Kizuki to state his thoughts. His breath was becoming calmer, as he felt some of his energy returning to him.

He had smirked a bit at Alaistair's accusation that his proud, warrior race was a bit lacking in the decision making department. He nearly rolled his eyes, waiting for the Demon to finish his speech before responding. "If I will give credit to the Queen of Vegeta it is this, she delivered on her promise. She claimed she was be the next to break down the Super Saiyajin wall, once it was discovered there was one, and apparently she did it. Those Saiyajin she rules over on that planet have not lost faith in her. If anything, the news of her ascending to another level may have strengthened that bond. Vegeta will not be easy to pry from her fingers, Alaistair." He stood there still, not making a move but instead reading Alaistair's. It seemed the Devil was waiting for him to make another move, and after being given some time to recuperate some of his energy he would give him exactly what he wanted. "If she was a broken leader, someone would have dethroned here already, hell, the entire planet would have dethroned her. You discredit her too much." Readying himself, he would fly off towards the Devil for another onslaught of fast paced punches, though this time, Alaistair was in much better standing in his powered up state, but Kizuki was just trying to break his guard. He'd share a few more words with his comrade while exchanging those fast paced lefts and rights. "I saw it in her eyes during that conference, Alaistair. She believes she is omnipotent, and as quickly as she had stated that she became stronger than the legendary Super Saiyajin!"

Kizuki replied, telling Alaistair that he discredited Zucceta too much. He pushed forward, unleashing a barrage of punches! Alaistair shifted to block each punch with his forearms. As the barrage continued, Kizuki reasoned she believed herself omnipotent because she ascended above the status of Super Saiyan! Alaistair smiled, as he replied, "If you think that is omnipotence, then there's so much needed to be shown to you!"Alaistair begun to exchange some quick jabs with Kizuki as well, aiming more for the top of his torso and face like a boxer! As he did, Al continued with a retort of memory, "Remember that we've met quite a few people with power as substantial as her's, to begin with Kizuki! As time goes on, as you become more familiar with the energy of others, you'll come to know that her strength isn't so much. However, that may become an issue with the weapons she possesses, I will give you that. That is why we aim to dismantle them!"He inched into Kizuki's space as he exchanged jab for jab! He was still recovering, but the Devil could sense Kizuki's strength recovering, and so too, Alaistair figured, that Kizuki would know of Alaistair's as well. The pull of gravity this mountain was having on them was being adjusted to as well, meaning they could pull off some more interesting maneuvers. Alaistair ducked to the right of a jab and aimed to wind the man! (Sorry about the wait! Kizuki) (KP: 2/3 from 1/3 for hand to hand combat!) (PL: 253,719) |

The Saiyajin would continue to go blow for blow with Alaistair, who was more likely just keeping up the pace while saying his peace rather than try to defend or overtake Kizuki. He'd listen intently, and Alaistair had a point. Breaking the Super Saiyajin wall was not a sign of omnipotence, though it clearly was an amazing amount of power behind one, single person. He felt that level of power first hand, with Zerori, and it nearly knocked him off his feet. However, the realization was that the amount of power she had, he didn't feel like it was impossible to reach, like he was incapable. In fact, he had originally taken to this spot, alone, in order to contemplate on how to overcome the wall himself, having just reached the Super Saiyajin level already. He had no time to waste. Others were growing more powerful than him by the second. It was then that he realized that spending as much time in the Super Saiyajin state would allow him to overcome the rush he felt while transformed, the constant flow of adrenaline and excitement, even the overly aggressive nature of the form could be used against him if he didn't conquer it. It was then that Alaistair mentioned getting used to the energy of others, the Devil now choosing to dodge completely rather than block or counterattack. Kizuki had stopped, standing in front of him with his arms at his side. "That's the problem, Alaistair. At this time, the only thing I've been doing is focusing on the power of others. I am a Saiyajin. Our battle power is endless. I need to focus on overcoming this wall as quickly as possible." Clenching his fists, his power would once again shoot upwards dramatically. A golden aura of ki energy would erupt, swirling up from his feet and engulfing him completely up and over his head, and when fully covered his hair and eyes would change color once more to that of the legendary Saiyajin transformation. That golden fire flowed around him, narrowing his eyes at the Devil yet not making a move. His muscles had tensed a bit, as he continued to try to control himself. "What's most important to me now is attempting to overcome this incredible rush of power and emotions that I feel in this state. Even now, as I'm doing my best to stay put, all I can feel is overwhelming excitement and rage. Unless I am capable of getting used to this state, I have no chance of staying on par with the likes of the Saiyajin Queen or Zerori, or even Xylo." He left his stance open, simply standing there in front of Alaistair and unmoving. If he wished to continue, he'd allow him to make the strike. "I can train to raise my overall power substantially if I wanted, but that would only increase my overall power as a Super Saiyajin. If I do not train to overcome this transformation I will be a waste of a warrior, and an embarrassment to the lineage of Super Saiyajin.."

Kizuki stopped suddenly, the Devil stopping his own advance and hopping back. It seemed what Alaistair was saying had been getting under his skin... Not exactly the intention he had, for sure! The saiyan then transformed, his transformation being much more fluid since the last time Alaistair saw it. Alaistair laughed a little bit, as he straightened himself up and pointed at Kizuki. "See, Kizuki... This is the fun part about being in this alliance," Alaistair replied to the golden Warrior, "We're standing with a different take on what our races represent! We're a different breed, the three of us, and I can tell you this looking at you now: You're your own man. Not just a saiyan! You're a man who's aiming to be powerful, but unlike most of your kin, you got a brain that's able to adapt! It's able to adapt the transformation... Able to keep the energy in check, so long as it learns more about what's going on around it."Alaistair brought his hands in an X across his chest, taking a deep breath in before shouting, his body rapidly changing! Hair turned to white from black and seemingly was raised higher than normal. The tail vanished once more, as his energy jettisoned with red, black, and white. He quickly entered his stance, as he told Kizuki, "Xylo is, as well, a breed of a different kind as well! It's something I've been working with for years, Kizuki! Bringing these people together and helping them see a bigger canvas than what they've worked on. If you think yourself a waste of potential, then I will drag it back as best I can!"Alaistair dashed forward, hands at the side and dust kicked up behind him. He aimed to strike at Kizuki's chest. He needed Kizuki to realize that he wasn't a waste, so he would give him his current best! (Alaistair has entered the Demon King state, increasing his power to 676,584!)

Kizuki had always thought Alaistair's grand plan sounded a bit.. off. The more he spoke of his own goals the more farfetched it all sounded. He took the compliments in stride, it was something that Kizuki knew all too well himself. Having spent most of his life as a soldier, or within the ranks of some, he could see the folly of his race. Perhaps it was his specific genetics, something within him that made him think differently than the lower class, soldier types. Most of them would have focused on raising their overall battle, something that Kizuki had confirmed would be useless, at least in order to conquer the Super Saiyajin transformation. It wasn't enough just to achieve it, it needed to be conquered, mastered. Once again, Alaistair would raise his battle power and transform, changing physically. Though his power would soar higher, he was still not within range for Kizuki to have too much of an issue, at least in the standard form of combat, not as a Super Saiyajin. Listening to the Devil's closing words, he'd offer a half smirk in response. He could tell this was Alaistair's absolute limit at the moment, and he welcomed it with open arms. As he rushed forth, the Saiyajin would have already lifted himself barely even an inch off the ground with his ki, beginning to push himself backwards in a gliding fashion as Alaistair rushed towards him. The strike to his chest was caught with his hand, slamming into his open palm. He was too fast in this state. "Faster." Was all he mumbled out as his palm quickly released that fist, reaching forward a bit to wrap his fingers around Alaistair's wrist. In one, fluid motion Kizuki would jerk on that arm forward and down, then firmly planting his feet into the ground. Attempting to pull Alaistair's body down as he'd lift his right leg, knee extended, to slam into his comrade's nose.

Alaistair wasn't sure what happened. He was replaying what was going on in his head. "Uh... Tried to punch him in his chest. He went back, making the punch weaker than it could've been. There was a jerking motion from said arm, and then gray and reddish brown..? Now there's a lot of pain in my face and back."The Devil tried to move, but his body ached too much! He winced and muttered, "Ok, not moving... Where the hell am I?"He couldn't move his limbs or turn his head, but he could move his eyes, one of which was swelled up like a balloon! He could see the mountain that he and Kizuki were on looming over him, with the Nimbus barrier above them swirling around. The Devil came to realize he was at the bottom of the mountain. Alaistair was running through it through his head, until he solemnly realized, "Ah..! He countered my attack. It must've knocked me out with the way it landed."Alaistair's face was bugging him a lot, at his nose. It hurt to breathe through it! He forced his arm to move, flopping his hand over his face. Upon his hand landing on his face, he realized his nose was knocked out of place! Al yelped, as he pinched his nose tightly and pulled, shifting it back into place! He could feel it swelling up like a balloon too. "Ok... Now that's back in- Ya aye yai aye ya," Alaistair cried out, feeling his tail rapidly grow back and flipping the Devil on his face. He didn't bother to move. Too much pain... Body was exhausted. "Uh... Kizuki? I think I'm gonna lay down here a bit... Yeah, gonna lay down here for a bit," Alaistair told the saiyan telepathically. His body was hurting a bit too much to move at the moment. He continued, "Still not used to the form I just used, as well... Good counter!"( Kizuki, yep. That happened... XD) |

As the knee had impacted against Alaistair's face, Kizuki would watch as the Devil had gotten completely knocked out by taking the full brunt of the attack. He was a bit shocked to be honest, and it resembled slow motion as Alaistair's form fell from the top of the vicious peaks all the way to the bottom, landing in a sickening thud against the ground. Perhaps he should have held back a little more. Gently, he'd lower himself with his ki off the top of the mountain where they had been sparring, arms crossing over his chest as that golden aura continued to pulsate and flare around his body. Hopefully he hadn't done Alaistair in any worse than just knocking him out of his fight. Before he could make physical contact with the Devil, he'd get a telepathic message from him. Apparently he was a little banged up, but otherwise fine. Booted feet would make contact with the ground, landing near Alaistair's body. His aura had faded away, though he still remained in his Super Saiyajin transformation. "It appears we're pushing our bodies to the limit down here. We have to break past them." He'd look up and away from his comrade, towards the top of the mountain again, those flashes of lightning and booming thunder taunting him once more. He'd look back down towards Alaistair once more after that. "I have to continue. Feel free to rest. If you'll excuse me." In a sudden burst, that his energy would explode around his body once more, golden in color. Launching himself into the air, he'd leave Alaistair on his own to rest at the bottom of the mountain. Flying further and further upwards towards the top of the mountain, the Saiyajin could feel the weight of the gravity going up against once more, higher than it was towards the bottom where Alaistair's body rested. After reaching a sufficient enough height, he'd begin to shadow fight in the air, throwing punches and kicks as hard and precise as he could at nothing in particular. He was getting his body used to the increased gravity again and the harsh conditions, as well as continuing to maintain this transformation to better get a grip on it. The focus was on being able to go beyond the Super Saiyajin transformation, the only thing that was currently main goal. Eventually, Kizuki would float up even higher, having had enough of his "warm up." He was dangerously high up, towards the top of those mountains again where the lightning would be able to hit him. He'd feel their energy snaking towards him, doing his best to smack away any sudden bolts of lightning that attempted to strike him. He could feel the immense stinging sensation from each deflected attack, baring his teeth, gnashed together in anger from feeling such pain. Watching the clouds spark up every so often, given away the location of the next big strike. As one, large bolt of lightning came towards him, he had thrown both palms outwards to try to "catch" the energy inside his palms. As he was struck, an explosion would occur, that only proved to send the Saiyajin flying backwards, slamming harshly into the side of a mountain, creating an indent in it. The outline of his body provided a bed of sorts as he stayed there, trembling in pain, attempting to pick himself back up. He could feel his energy leaving him a bit, his breathing was a bit labored at this point. As he came to stand, he would fall out of his powered up state, the aura had gone and his hair and eyes had fallen back to their original, black color. On spaghetti legs, he'd try to hold himself up, looking up at the mocking clouds, filled with electrical energy, flashing and mocking him. He was angry. His left arm coming up to labor his right shoulder, which seemed to have been more worse for ware from the impact. "I'm.. not done.. yet." He'd lower himself into a stance, dropping his left arm at his side, throwing his right shoulder out a bit to pop it back into place with a grunt. "Kchhhhh!! I'm not.. done yet...!" A bit of thunder echoed throughout the dangerous mountain side, Kizuki gathered his ki up as much as he could, his hair flickering yellow and black, eyes green and black. He still had something left in the tank. "I'M NOT DONE YET! RAAAHHH!!!" His energy had caught, rage flowing within him as he fully transformed once more. Rocketing off towards his destination, the lightning storm, the Saiyajin would continue to scream the entire time halting in mid air as several bolts of the menacing lighting began to strike his body, doing what he could to withstand the pain from being directly assaulted in such a manner, much like how Alaistair had found him before. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" With each strike, he'd push his ki out, his aura flaring more and more, pushing those bolts of lightning further and further away from his body, his energy was ballooning outwards, getting higher and higher. Two orbs of ki would form in either of his hands, charging them to the point where they could be used as a deadly weapon. He could see the clouds appeared to be doing the same, as if they were alive and aimed to exterminate him. In another mighty roar, he'd throw his arms upwards, aimed at the massive clouds above him, hands coming together at the wrists as a massive pillar of energy was fired and met with the most destructive force of lightning that hell had every conceived. Was Kizuki.. fighting the environment? Was HELL literally fighting him BACK?! He would do his best, continuing to throw his ki outwards, attempt to push back against that bolt of lightning until it'd eventually explode. The explosion would absolutely rock the peak of the mountain, to the point where all of those jagged tips were blown to bits, in a fury of smaller pieces of rock. The smoke around him would disperse, as the beaten Saiyajin would be seen lowering himself slowly back down towards Alaistair. His dogi was completely ruined, bringing himself onto his hands and knees, head lowered. He was breathing heavily and covered in sweat, as drops would fall from his face and moisten the dead earth under him. His had fallen out of his Super Saiyajin state, his power nearly depleted. Rolling his body, he'd move to sit on down now, reclining back on his hands so not to fall backwards. He'd let out one, big labored sigh, looking down towards Alaistair. He probably looked ten times worse than his Demon friend did. "I think Xylo needs to conjure me up another new dogi...Heheh." He offered Alaistair a chuckle, a bit of a laugh for probably the first time ever between the two, and for the first time overall in a long time.

"Mmm... Yeah, that sounds good, Kizuki," Alaistair reacted, after Kizuki came down to check on him, with a pained smile formed on his face, "I'll hang out down here for a bit..."Rest... That sounded good to Alaistair. However, he couldn't exactly find a need to rest it off, what with the heavy clashing of thunder and lightning above. Alaistair pressed his lips together, as he looked at the clouds above. Apparently the weather, maybe due to the strange pull of gravity, was forming a constant storm here... Perhaps a good way to describe it would be a bit like Jupiter's Red Eye? A constant storm that does not cease. Eventually, after a dozen or so minutes and many shouts and explosions, Kizuki came back down. His clothes were smoking, and tattered. He was really tired out from battling the storm, it seems. He may have looked bad, but at the very least, Kizuki was able to move around. Alaistair, on the other hand, didn't want to move. Kizuki then made a half-joke about Xylo making him a new dogi. Alaistair made a toothy grin, as he replied, "Tch hah! Yeah, you do. The weather messed your clothes up a lot more than what our spar did!"He didn't exactly chuckle. He was in too much pain do that. However, he it wasn't so much now that he couldn't at least sit up. As he did, Alaistair looked back at Kizuki, pointing at him as he told him, "Actually... I think I already said this, but I do need to have a sit down with him... If my head didn't get too badly rattled, I believe he said he didn't learn a thing yet from the other Devil. I also need to talk to him about what happened on Namek. Take a look at what happened and figure out what we can do make the defeat less substantial..."Kizuki

Kizuki had almost forgotten. Apparently, Xylo had been able to acquire some sort of special training from a "Devil" here in Hell. He wasn't sure on the details, or how one would even be able to get trained by them, but Xylo's power was fearsome upon their last meeting. If this new Master of his would increase that power, Xylo would be able to take over Namek or any other planet he so desired. As Alaistair explained his desire to pick the Namekian's brain on the situation, he also mention Namek. Just the thought of that entire mission filled the Saiyajin with anger, they were truly outclassed by Mayze. The entire mission showed just how much their little group lacked, both in power and in tact. Power, though, was slowly coming to be an issue of the past. "Namek was a failure, plain and simple. We were outclassed and did not think ahead." He hadn't moved from his seated position, continuing to lean back on his hands as he went on. "Xylo acted out of instinct for his home world, I can't say I entirely blame him but a more tactical approach should have been made. We were unprepared, entirely. All of our powers have nearly tripled since we've been down here and we still may not be enough to go against the Mayze or whoever the SSE has to use at their disposal." The Saiyajin would start to push himself up then, wiping off his body of any dust and debris he had accumulated during his violent decent. Coming to a stand, he'd begin to roll his neck about to pop out the kinks, as well as stretch his sore arms and legs all while continuing his opinion on the matter. "As much time as we've spent training in the Afterlife is as much training as we need once we revive. We do not have an Empire of our own, much less an army or even a small squadron to pick a planet to take for our base of operations. It was an embarrassment to go after something as attractive as apparently Namek is in such a state." He wasn't necessarily ready to go for another round of fighting, either Alaistair or Hell, but felt like he needed to stay loose regardless. "What would be best is a base of operations, some backwater planet that is off the grid from the SSE or anyone else. Something that won't take us more than a day to attain." He thought more on the matter, before continuing after a short pause. "And soldiers. Xylo, myself, and even you are capable of smaller battles but we need bodies for the cause. I haven't see that odd being, Koramund, since our initial meeting here. You probably have much and more to work on it when it comes to Zerori..." He'd trail off, he wasn't sure who else there was. Oh, he had almost forgotten about that little gremlin, Basil, that Xylo and himself had encountered on Vegeta a while ago, before Namek. They had taken his unconscious body and stuffed it in his Space Pod and had it follow them there, but he was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield. Perhaps the pod never even made it to the planet? He wasn't sure why Xylo insisted on bringing him to begin with, he had tried to kill them upon their first meeting, after all.

Kizuki was raising several points. The most prominent being that Xylo acted first, on instinct. From there, each of them had to enact as reinforcements to him, and even when Alaistair acquired his new power, he was outclassed by Mayze... Something Alaistair was annoyed with! If he were as strong as his older self, he would've wiped the floor with that ingrate! However, they were here. They failed, and it was something Alaistair accepted. There was also the prospect of acquiring additional people being added to their entourage. Zerori and that thing, Koramund, were potential possibilities, but due to the events that happened here in HFIL, Alaistair doubted that they would be willing to help. Koramund's mental state was far more irrational than any of theirs, on their worst days. As for Zerori... The mental confusion Alaistair had concerning that demon not existing there was still something Alaistair needed to get under wraps. He ended up attacking her, thinking she was being possessed by the bastard that he brought his sword out and was trying to cut something that wasn't there. "There's a great amount of work we've need to cover... So much that, I agree, we need more bodies to work with us," Alaistair solemnly agreed, "There's a few things I need to have figured out on my end as well. Issues with my mind being convoluted with a madness that I did not want... Have I ever told you or Xylo that story?"( Kizuki) |

He had stretched his body enough to his liking, to where his muscles felt a little more loose than previously. However, he could still feel the pain of having gone toe to toe with Hell itself, it was something that he would need to relax his body to get over. He'd find himself lowering down onto the ground again, as Alaistair began to ask if he had ever heard of this "madness" story of his. Kizuki had to admit to himself, he knew very little about Alaistair at all. Their arrangement was an odd one, to say the least. Thinking back on his question, he'd offer the Devil a slight shake of the head, before giving a form response. "Can't say that I've heard you tell any sort of tale like that. Are you admitting to being a little mentally unstable, Alaistair? You're starting to make Xylo look like a better leader, on paper." His tone was sarcastic, followed by a sly smirk. He wasn't being serious, because truth be told Kizuki thought that Xylo was a bit too trigger happy to be able to have any sort of calculated plans. Rather, the Namekian relied on brute strength, which was not uncommon for Kizuki, but these were different times. The time where only a handful of warrior were able to claim the power Kizuki had now was over. There were Super Saiyajin galore, now. Some even breaking the wall and ascending above. If there was any chance for this group to have a solid stake in the Universe as something to be taken seriously, they could not achieve it by running headfirst into conflict, for sure. Though, with a mighty yawn, Kizuki prepared himself for what he figured would be Alaistair speaking to him about this "madness." He'd once again stretch his legs out and lean back on his hands while being seated, keeping his vision on the Devil. The term "madness" caused Kizuki to briefly think back to his conflict with Mei's uncle, Mei was Kizuki's first mate and the mother of his first two children, Jun and Retasu. The Saiyajin Emperor had some sort of madness in himself, as well, possessed by some Demon's soul, or something to that effect. He couldn't remember the specifics of it, granted it was over two thousand years ago anyway, and any remnants of the old bastard were long gone. Unfortunately, so were his children at this point. It was the first time he had thought of them in such a long time. It was funny how some things made one's mind wander. Had they grown up alright? He was banished from the bastard's Empire, so aside from a few meetings on neutral ground he was unable to be much of a father to them. He had planned to change that with the resurgence of the Daikondu Empire, but that hadn't panned out as well. Fast forward two thousand years later, and Kizuki was the apparent sole survivor out of all of those in his past. He let out another loud yawn, his tail thumping loudly behind him against the ground.

"I suppose I am... But I think it may be better to phrase it as a type of 'fear'," Alaistair replied, closing his eyes so he could best think of his words.
He thought about how his mind had been fractured before, his 'original voice' being snuffed out almost entirely by what he was now and the thing he felt himself transforming into. A irrational entity, who's purpose was to empower themselves by taking the free will of others by drowning them in waves of questions designed to bring out respect for their free will. In a way, he felt himself aware of this still happening to himself, but he knew it was happening and he was taking steps to attack and break it down!
"Have you ever had that feeling where you don't believe what you are doing is actually doing what it is supposed to do? Feel yourself questioned to the point that... No, that's not the way to put it," he started explaining, catching himself.
He scratched his chin, as he hummed curiously. He even ended crossing his legs as he tried to think it out. Eventually, after a minute went by, he snapped his fingers and, in a sort of 'eureka' energized manner, Al told the saiyan, "Ok, imagine you had this boundless amount of knowledge that, based on what your friends, family, and teacher asp possess, but needs assistance being interpreted by said people. Then, you got an 'outsider,' who doesn't have said info, come along and poke holes in everything you know with their own experiences that are literally put into your head... They then torture you with these questions over the course of a decade, causing this dissension in how you personally believe how everything works. They reinforce this by physically damaging you for that time in minut ways that you can't do anything about, but you know it is them. Now extend it at least thousand times more."
