Thread PL: 163,859 TaigaArias was sitting in her house, musing quietly to herself of the events that recently happened. There was no longer a ring on her finger, an argument with Carva had led to their breakup to which the Saiyaness was hurt and angry about. I never should have trusted that imbecile. Why did I trust him? Grrrrah, I need to break him in half. Angry thoughts ran through her mind, the woman clenching her fists as her power twitched, slowly rising as her anger was elevating had to her Super Saiyan state. [Ssj Active, PL: 1,802,449] Soon enough, her golden aura knocked things askew as she let out an angered yell. Her power level once again rose to one point eight million; a beacon in the near deserted area she hung out in. Anyone with ki sense or a scouter would easily find her ki.

Thread PL: 31,781
The crimson-skinned Arcosian soldier rockets through what passed as the sky for Hell, his scarlet eyes scanning the ground for troublemakers. He had taken a task upon himself; to interfere with Demons that attempt to feed on the souls of the dead, consuming their shoki to make their demonic powers greater. Hell's gatekeepers and guardians, the Ogres, had also taken notice, but were hard-pressed to deal with the situation. With Taiga's help, however, they are making headway.
Suddenly, something like a pressure catches Taiga's notice... The sound of yelling, muffled by distance, catches his ears, causing the Arcosian to stop and hang in the air, his eyes restlessly searching the horizon. He does not know how to sense Ki, nor does he have his scouter in death, but he is nonetheless drawn to the sudden sensation. Steeling himself, Taiga flies in the general direction of the shouting. Within his mind, Taiga considers the possibility that it could be a demon that has consumed enough souls to power up. If such is indeed the case, he would have to put it down quickly.
Rather, Taiga finds a barren, deserted section; strange, given the current circumstances. Hell must be far larger than he can comprehend. Regardless, Taiga descends through the air and lands deftly on one three-toed foot. He looks around his immediate surroundings, and spots what appears to be a large boulder that had been carved into. Without a doubt, the sensation was coming from there; plus the shouting helped verify it. Had he found the demon's lair? Cautious in his steps, Taiga slowly approaches the dwelling, keeping his awareness and guard up, just in case.
Taiga stops ten meters away from the dwelling, and takes a slow breath.
"Who within that dwelling unleashes their power?!" Taiga calls out towards it.

Arias sensed a new presence nearby; one she had not detected before and the ki was unfamiliar. Nonetheless; it posed absolutely no threat to her and her soft, dark laughter echoed in the Boulder; her echoed voice dark and aggressive. "Who dares come near my lair?" Spoke the Saiyaness darkly. "Leave, lest you feel my wrath."
The malevolence of Hell was darkening the female warrior; who welcomed the consuming darkness. Whether the hybrid female scared him or not, she could easily sense his guard was up. Soft footsteps sounded as she approached the curtain of bones and cloth, listening to the drapes rattle as she drew a finger across them, aqua eyes glowing in the darkness in the Boulder.
Arias chuckled, stepping outside of the curtains and into the 'sunlight' of Hell. "Listen up runt; I have no time for a bug I could squash under my boot. However, you are a rather.. Colorful bug, considering you have yet to run. Now tell me; why have you sought me out. I do not have all day, speak wisely." Her golden aura licked her body like a flame, the 'pressure' Taiga was feeling would probably get stronger the closer proximity they were.

Taiga's eyes narrow at the sight of the eyes beyond what passed as an entrance, he supposed, as a cruel female voice emanates out to him from the makeshift dwelling. The curtain covering the entrance slides open, and a female biped walks out. She has a cold air of pride about her, and from her outfit and demeanor, Taiga surmises that he has yet again come across a Saiyan. He privately wonders how many of them dwell here, and why he has yet to encounter another Arcosian.
Setting the thoughts aside, Taiga clasps his hands against the small of his back, eyeing the possible Saiyan with an appraising look. The 'runt' comment had no effect, as such a description meant nothing to an Arcosian that can transform and change their size at will. From the aqua-colored eyes, the golden hair, and the flaring Ki wrapping around the female's body, Taiga positively identifies the female biped as a Super Saiyan. Just how many of these creatures has attained the supposed 'Legendary' transformation, he wonders?
"An insect would not be able to stand before such a creature." Taiga replies evenly, sounding unperturbed by the Saiyan's words. He has no fear of death; after all, they are both already so. The worst that can happen is that she beats him into the ground; which he would simply recover from later anyway. "From what I understand of that form... You are a Super Saiyan... I understand anger is the source of the transformation... I was drawn here because of your power, because I felt the disturbance you created in Hell."
Taiga tilts his horned head to the left, appearing contemplative.
"Your kind seems somewhat common here." Taiga dares to say. "But I wonder... Super Saiyans are impossibly powerful. How could it be that you were killed?"

Arias listened; at least somewhat. The Super Saiyaness was letting the words fly over her head, until he spoke of her death. Immediately; her golden aura skyrocketed in anger as she stepped towards Taiga with very angry eyes. "Don't you dare ever ask this again, unless you want your bones turned into toothpicks and your existence permanently erased."
The tone of the woman was dark, power radiating from her as the female cracked her knuckles audibly. A sneer crossed her face, revealing her sharper than average teeth. The warrioress was not in the mood to answer questions, yet there was an audible yet low sentence coming from her lips. "By something much more powerful and terrifying than a Super Saiyan."

Taiga's brows furrow when the Saiyan's power bursts, creating a whipping lash of pressure against him. The Arcosian soldier remains rooted to the spot, not intending to give the Saiyan the satisfaction of any form of fear or concern. He watches the Saiyan step towards him, and let his arms fall to his sides. She mentions something more powerful than a Super Saiyan, which catches his interest. However, he isn't likely to ask, given her belligerent attitude.
He considers leaving, and then wonders if she will even let him leave. She appeared to be in a fighting mood, but Taiga knows that Super Saiyans are beyond him, at least for now. Rather than pry into what creature killed the Saiyan, Taiga shifts the conversation.
"At least you aren't what I was expecting." Taiga utters in a level tone. He eyes the Saiyan; she seems typical of the description of her people. Brutish, callous, and quick tempered. "I've spent enough time dealing with demons that have taken to consuming lesser souls, I had thought one had eaten enough to 'evolve', or some such. Seeing that this is not the case is preferable."
The Arcosian dares to turn to the side, still watching the angered Super Saiyan.
"And our existence here is etheral, not physical. You can damage other dead beings, but you cannot erase them completely. That power is reserved by the Kai's." Taiga tells the Saiyan, though he had no proof to go on.

"Who gave YOU a philosophy lesson, and who the fuck are the Kais?" Arias gave a small, disapproving snort as she looked at Taiga. "You look like a human girl's bunch of crayons was melted and dumped into a mutated lizard. Nor do you seem like exactly the goody two shoes you pretend to be."
The female warrioress narrowed her eyes, studying Taiga's power level. It was minuscule to her; to which she laughed. "You couldn't even leave a scratch on me; the reason why I am the only goddess. Yet you stay. Who exactly are you.." The hybrid kept her guard up and eyes narrowed, watching the mutated crayon lizard.

"The society I come from taught me philosophy, among other things." Taiga answers, knowing full well her question was rhetorical. "The Kai's... Well, I doubt you are the type to discuss galactic religions."
The more the female biped spoke, the more Taiga understands that she is somewhat unhinged. At least the other Super Saiyan he met earlier had not made ill-devised claims of being a deity. Her tendency towards hashing out insults did not bother him though. His carapace was too tough for such, so to speak.
"And I am making no attempt to pretend to be anything. Aspects such as 'good and evil' are nonsensical." Taiga continues. "And I hav no intention of trying to fight you. I am not an imbecile."
Taiga looks sideways at the Saiyan female for a moment, considering how to answer.
"My name is Taiga. Formerly a Commander in the Arcosian Empire Galactic Army." the Arcosian soldier replies, relenting on identifying himself with the Lower Clans. He also refrains on pointing out that a true deity could not be killed and sent to Hell. As far as he knew, anyway. If anything, Taiga surmises that her attitude and pride likely contributed to her death and subsequently the reason she was sent here. "And you, Saiyan? What name do you identify yourself with?"
The longer he stays, the more the Arcosian is certain the Saiyan will become violent. Or perhaps he could talk her down; perhaps Hell has simply broken her. And that which is broken, can be repaired. And what can be repaired, can be made sturdier.

Unhinged was not the best to describe the woman; instead she was slowly going insane with delusions of godlike qualities she didn't have. Her eyes were strangely blank, as if she was merely a puppet somehow to the malevolence within. "You are with that pile of shit pretending to be important? Don't make me laugh. The name is Arias, and I reside with the Solar Empire."
The warrioress narrowed her eyes further, studying Taiga with a cold, empty look. Hell was destroying her mental health; leaving her with a gnawing emptiness and thirst for power and destruction. It was hiding in her eyes, the slow, consuming insanity tearing her apart into nothing more than an empty flesh bag of which her darkest desires and the rage within could use to extract themselves upon the world..

The Saiyan's profanity is shrugged off with a sigh from Taiga. He never could understand the use of such sharp language; then again, being too connected to one's emotions is a weakness. Her views of the Arcosian Empire come as no surprise, for several reasons. However, Taiga simply continues the conversation, unperturbed.
"Yes, well, you appear confused. I never feigned importance." Taiga utters back evenly. He studies the Saiyan, and notices something odd; her eyes seemed to lack luster. After a few seconds of inner deliberation, Taiga surmises her condition. "... ...You've lost your purpose, haven't you?"

"I have not lost my purpose. My purpose is to exterminate all whom oppose me; bring them to their knees and begging for mercy. I will kill what and who I have to. I deserve power and respect." Arias followed her words with a contemptuous snort, looking over Taiga. His power was lackluster; however he did have some potential. What he lacked in power he made up in an apparently level head, for he did not once buckle under her insults.
"Now what about you. What is your purpose, as you so randomly asked of mine." The tone of the Saiyaness was blank; no tone to her words, leaving only a frigid emptiness within her eyes to match her voice. Her tail twitched faintly, fur twitching in the wind as she awaited the Arcosian's reply.

Taiga listened to the Saiyan, raising a brow slightly.
"We differ on that opinion, apparently. No one deserves anything. You either earn it, or never have it." Taiga replies, his tone still level. He raises his left hand, palm up, as a way to accentuate his words. "You can kill and kill, but never will you deserve what you want. You've earned your power, no doubt, but you hardly speak in a way that demands respect."
Taiga once more turns to face the Arias.
"My purpose has been served, at least my prior purpose has been." Taiga replies. "Now, I seek to increase my power and attain a new purpose."
Taiga smirks at the Saiyan.
"Eventually, I will unify all forces in the galaxy." Taiga informs Arias with a smile. "And in doing so, I will restore the Planet Sharking Organization. An Empire that buys, sells, and conquers worlds. We'll start wars, and resolve them, all for profit. Clients will pay us to obtain and colonize worlds under our protection."
"Empress Wyntre's pacifist views were an abhorration that led to the Arcosian Empire's fall. And any who maintain her wrongful views will never succeed in restoring the once great galactic force." Taiga continues. "I have an eye for talent, and I will bring anyone and everyone worthy of standing at my side. Enforcers with the power to conquer worlds, and lead my forces."
Taiga emits a light chuckle.
"Although, such an eventuality is still considerably far from now." the Arcosian admits. "As I said, I must first increase my power. Unless I have the kind of power wielded by the founders of the original empire so many centuries ago, I will have no reason to even try."

Taiga irked Arias, the hybrid trying to keep the billowing rage within her down and out of sight, to hopefully prevent the murder of the Arcosian standing before her. A vein pulsed underneath her golden locks, blue against her brilliant gold. The warrioress listened to him, analyzing his words and tone.
After he was done speaking, Ariad laughed harshly. Her laughter was high, cold, and cruel as the hybrid female crossed her arms. "Are you serious, with your power level? Good luck training to get as strong as myself, or stronger. For once lizards seem to have a brain."

Taiga smiles friendlily, as if her words had been something of an encouragement.
"And train I shall, reforged by the fires of Hell. I will one day surpass the powers of all. Even you are but a benchmark to reach." Taiga tells the Saiyan, unafraid and un-intimidated by her howl-like laughter. "My people are quite intelligent, actually. But pride seems to overshadow reason, in several cases."
Taiga clasps his hands against the small of his back once more, and his long, thick tail slowly flicks from left to right.
"Am I weak? No, not at all. But I am not incredibly powerful either." Taiga shrugs. "The average power rating of sentient lifeforms is possibly in the few hundreds to lower thousands. But these days, there are a large number of unnaturally powerful beings. It is simply a matter of surpassing them."
Taiga tilts his head to the right quizzically.
"Staying here until my power grows isn't my intention, however." Taiga says flatly. "But neither will I draw attention to myself once I escape this place. And I know I will; as I understand it, others have done so, and others currently plan to."
The Arcosian soldier paces several steps to the right, and stops to look up at the ceiling of clouds.
"I may be wasting my time, but I want to ask, just in case." Taiga says after a few moments. "Would you care to work for me? As I said before, I will need enforcers to... keep populations in line. Though, honestly we would have to work on your... colorful personality."

Arias looked at Taiga coldly, vein pulsing stronger in a larger fit of anger, the only visible sight to her slowly growing anger. What Hell was doing to the Saiyaness was almost completely shelling her, yet there was some part of calm in the waves of rage, the eye of the hurricane if you will.
The Arcosian proposed a rather curious yet interesting question to the Saiyan female, and the hybrid's hand went to her chin as she closed her Aqua eyes, thinking. Calculating the worth of having a potential ally to help her take down her enemies, while also putting her in a position of power. It greatly interested the female, pulsing vein fading as she looked at the 'male' humanoid.
"Damn. I must say you have my interest, so I accept your offer. However, betray me and I will eviscerate you. Now, what is it you want to do while we are here. I can offer to help you get stronger, provided you wouldn't mind getting your ass handed to you."
