A new plan... (Devil's Knights, Request Entrance)

He looked at Xylo as he explained that he wanted to retake his home of namak from the saiyans on namak, "I understand the feeling, the sse attacked konats first you see, before the robot man arrived, i was nearly killed in that attack, the old man infact saved me They sent a woman named Arias and Carva." He spat Carva name out, memories of saiyan rushing back to him, That pathetic heap of space, his existence put konats safety in the balance and if they meet in hell, he would take care of him permanently. "They were sent by some general but i don't know what the leadership of the sse really is i only knew a couple members 2 of the 4 i knew tried to kill me and take over my homeworld, so i understand why you want to take back your homeworld, and i'll be honest, i am not sure how you will do it, not saying you can't but the sse are a powerful force perhaps you all have a plan that you can't say to me which makes sense." He crossed his arms, once his end of the deal was done, Xylo and Alistair would be mostly expendable but perhaps he would have a reason not to get someone to take care of them, they would still be a threat to konats. Of course he made sure to keep whatever he thought to himself mental barriers all ready for any attack. He didn't want to ruin his chances despite knowing any deal he made here would be a threat for his people in a long term sense.

"As for helping you i am happy too, but i'm also not going to throw my life away, once i get back so i want to know how you plan to do this, at least a general ideas, were storming the planet destroying all opposition, we manipulating their leaders to hand us control in the shadows or, what." He honestly knew he didn't have much choice, he needed their help, but if they were going to get themselves killed, no point joining them if they were headed back to hell. He wanted their job done fast, take namak while assisting them then konats and it was over. this threw a screw in his plans, having to help them first, but it could be arranged to have that solved, he didn't have to ally with them but he now had an option, the most important thing, but so far he was liking quite well the game plan he was setting, taking a world back from the sse would be small payback for the damage they had caused, whatever anyone in the living world said especially walker about the queen and so called "Forgiveness." was a load of crap. The queen destroyed a whole planet with a life absorbing tree, perhaps walker came from that hell spawn, it would fit quite well. Anyhow he would have to wait and see, He was on board for now but that could change.

For all the mercy in the world she could muster, Zerori could not even try to summon any for the squirming demon lord that seemed hesitant around her. At Xylo’s greeting, she would toss him a shallow smile and a tip of her head before self-consciously running a hand through her hair. “My boots are fine, Green – it’s my hair that bothers me!” She hissed with an annoyed smile. She would have said more but the apology she received from the King had her glancing down briefly, caution mixed with mistrust in her gaze, before she narrowed her eyes back on his face.

Crossing her arms, she rationalized the information, “You’re telling me that I basically drove you insane,” Quickly bringing her hand up, she added, “-partially insane, with my power?” Tossing him a knowing look, she reassured him, “You’ll know when I get possessed. If I don’t call you an asshole,” Tipping her head back, she muttered while looking at him from down her nose, “-Asshole.” And finished her sentence with, “I’m probably not in my right mind. But it’s fine.” Looking away, she tossed a look back at Xylo as he kept distracted with the cloud.

At the mention of a tournament, she shook her head quickly before throwing out a gruff response, “Can’t say I’m interested, yet.” Walking past the King, her gaze would catch his before she took up a seat beside a partially burnt rock. She didn’t care how it came to be that way since Hell didn’t care to give reasons and neither did she. Tossing him a withering expression, she scoffed, “If you wanna consider that menace of a brat the Prince of Hell, fine. He’s tough and damn near beat my ass. Call it training, call it anything but don’t consider me a student under him.” She groaned, souring glaring at the ground. “Please.” Hearing his offer, she tapped her chin curiously.

Looking over at said Namekian, she questioned Alaistair, “A sigil? Alright, and you want me to play the part of the…” She gestured with her hands, still not quite understanding. “Do you want me to beat him, or not? I can play all day, Alaistair and make it a real good show – deals considered – but I need to know the endgame. Say, I face him and I let him get a shot or two in, how long you want me to make this last?”

Not that she wasn’t interested in his offer, because contacts and zeni was synonymous to him definitely having her number, but Alaistair tended to… put the cart before the horse.

He started at Xylo, as he explained his plan to take over his homeworld as he nodded understanding that he had the intention it seemed to free his people of the control of the sse, but of course he was not that stupid. Xylo and Alistair who seem to be in cohorts with one another, had to be in hell for some reason, they were no saints, they were monsters like he was. He crossed his arms, he knew that their were perhaps bigger threats then help on his mission, afterall he knew by looking at them and based on the state of the universe, they would fail to take over namak. "You three must of been dead for a long time perhaps i should fill you in on the state of the universe, because even if you take namak away from the sse you'll deal with earth as well." He uncrossed his arms before looking at all three of them "I assume you all know about the queen of the saiyan race, at least in some regards well i meet her before my death, ask her a few question before i was defeated and taken to be prospected before i was murdered by a man named walker." He moved his hand creating himself a cup of wine and slowly drinking it down.


"In some way shape or form the sse and earth have made some peace, since all the people who arrived as i lost control did not come to fight the queen expect for a young boy, named etoru the rest had no instrist in tangling with her, and all of them seemed at the very least enemies of herself, not sse members." He clicked his teeth together, "I got confirmation from walker before my death, as he seemed unwilling to kill the queen despite all she has done which makes me believe either A. Walker is working for the sse in some way shape or form, which would explain why he'd not want to kill the queen and wanting to kill me as i was the ruler of konats and they failed to kill me perhaps they wanted to finsh the job or B. Vi-poi i believe that is his name and Zucceta have made some sort of peace treaty, i don't know exactly everything that going on but peace is being forged, your chance to attack namak probley slipped out of your hands if they truly make peace then they will scourge any threat to said peace but their are ways around this." He sipped the wine looking at all three of them.

"To take namak, you can't win it by force, even if you did, you would eventually lose the world and the process would begin anew i learned this on konats, you can't reline on hoping no one attacks, if someone of higher strength who has some said "Justice." on their side they will throw off your world, weather your intention for your people were good or bad." He tapped his hand against the rock he sat on eyeing Xylo agian, "And i assuming their were bad, but if you want to take control of your world you need to do it from the shadows, manipulate whoever rules the world, or kill him off and select a ruler who will follow you, control them like a puppet, if they know your going to rule them, while others know of your name, which i assume seeing as your one of the most powerful people in hell, then you must concele your identity, in galaxies far away, whole empires have been forged from the shadows until all the pawns were set, and once they are you can take everything for the taking but until then charing in like a brute wont get you anywhere, this is just my take."

He peered at Alistair, "As you said you know of my people, which i find hard to believe, from the south galxey based on your wording i'm lead to believe that you knew about my kind before we arrived here so spill it, what are you really, your not a demon who traveled with us, and i highly doubt you could fly from the south galxey to the north, your older then i assumed, Ancient perhaps, maybe your the evil that threatened my people but if you were, i'd be surprised to see you in hell, being significantly weaker then the others in hell, from what i know about what forced us off our world, it is far stronger then anyone here, perhaps the only one i've meet that could match the fear it can instill, would be that damn tree, though i've never meet whatever forced my people to flee, but i've read enough to understand what type of power would be needed to scare my people enough to work with their mortal enemies and give them control of their world and their people." He crossed his arm as he finished the wine it disspearing. He stared at all of them, what would they make of his assessment.

It relieved her that he wasn’t outright asking her to throw the match for some publicity stunt. For a sizable amount of cash, she wouldn’t mind so much but they were dead – all of them. There was no guarantee that when she found a way back to life (if she did) they’d find their own way back as well. She had to risk playing the good Samaritan again.

Tossing it around in her head, she pursed her lips before giving a nod, “Fine. You got yourself an actress,” She raised an arm to point at him with narrowed eyes, “I’ll fight Xylo, give them a good show and your ‘Tattooed Terror’ will give me everything and I. Mean. Everything – from beginning to end. After that, I’m trusting you to pay me whatever the hell I want when you return to life. In addition,” Snapping her fingers, she gave him a lop-sided grin, “-to passage out of hell. No exceptions.”

Turning her hand over, she presented her palm in a handshake, “Deal?”

Waiting for Alaistair’s response or reaction, her gaze would pass from the King over to the cloud as a particular few names caught her attention. Vi-Poi, android that had destroyed Namek once before, and ‘The Saiyan Queen’ which obviously pegged Zucceta. Turning her head to face the motor mouth completely, Zerori stood up from the rock and growled lowly in the back of her throat.

Etoru challenged Zucceta? And Vi-Poi and this… ‘Walker’, were her allies? He wouldn’t have stood a chance. If he’s hurt, by the gods, I swear-! Cold, gripping anger took hold of her and before she knew it, she would stalking towards the cloud with lethal purpose. “You,” She barked, gaze set on Plato’s ghost, “Tell me, what was the fate of the boy in the battle? Etoru, you said!” Leaning over to leer, she hissed, “If you’re lying to me, consider your existence in the forsaken Hellhole an eternal one because I will stop at nothing to keep you trapped here, UNDERSTAND?!” Voice raised at the last words, magic sparked around her and spontaneously ignited a small flame at the ground besides him. A warning.

He nodded at Xylo as he spoke, he could somewhat agree with him, but at the same time this was a man who afterall was in hell and training what seem to be the overlord of said hell. His words could only be taken with a light grain, he didn't know about this Mazoku clan but it didn't seem like they were in line with the others. "I can understand your anger, people like who were sealed with beasts are cast off of konats, but as i said you won't be able to take namak, perhaps i am wrong but as the way i see it taking over a world such as namak would be a very difficult task and a prize you could not hold on for long." He stopped as the woman leaped over yelling at him his eyes narrowing into slits, she seemed to know the boy etoru as well.

"i'll be honest with you, when the queen and etoru arrived they were beyond everyone else in that area, and if they fought the boy did actually have a good chance to defeat the queen, he is stronger then i expected, i'd say he might of been a near equal to the queen, i could feel it deep withen in, a power untapped before he fought the queen, and if that power was brought out he could of defeated the queen." He said looking Zeori right in the eyes, "If he won, then this peace to my understanding would of been destroyed and if etoru lost, well if the queen really wants to change and become some sort of good person killing the boy would ruin any of those chances, so its my belief that etoru is still alive, the question is if the queen is alive or was she slain." He said looking around, as Alistair began to speak wanting more detail on what he had heard.

"I don't know the exact details from how i understand it is this." He crossed his arms looking right at them, "the queen is trying to go on some redemption streak, trying to become good i guess, seeing as the none of the bba, other then that captain nova, or at least i assume since he was taking me to them before he and i were intercepted, anyhow from what i heard from walker he told me alot of the same, she is trying to change and their trying to reverse the damage she caused, which should start with her trial and death but it seems their taking a stupid path, you can't leave a threat like that alive." He crossed his arm tight with anger, "They seem to believe just cause they hold the cards they choose what criminals will not pay, she destroyed whole planets yet it seems they are going to ignore it for some artificial peace, then kill me, i beat walker was a spawn of one of those trees planted in the arosce worlds." It was evident of course, he hated walker with a passion, everything he was, was something he despised, a person who used their power to alter everyone lives for evil. His family and his allies had caused more harm then good for his people.


"As i said i don't know what the exact terms are but i'm gonna to take a stretch and say it might be some sort of ceasefire maybe restoring the worlds she destroyed in exchange for something else, i did meet a man named bing as well an associate of walker in some way it seemed, and a friend of the captain, he saved my life and his, but it was not enough." He closed his eyes tight, "That bastard walker tried to kill me by sending a young girl at me, but i was protected, but walker then killed me afterwards, as the man who protected me almost died himself and bing needed to heal him, it my honest belief walker is working in tandom with the sse in someway, i don't think my death was some accident, they wanted me dead, his group of thugs hunting villans yet they avoid the most deadly villan of all, it really a shame how much arrogance he has." He crossed his arm agiant shuffling forward, "their are those who may know of said dealings, perhaps if you can claimed to be able to find etoru with telepathy maybe you can speak with one of those people perhaps, more associates of yours unless you three are the only ones." He uncrossed his arms his gaze focused but not on them, he was stareing into the distance not looking at anything, just thinking to himself.

Blood boiling past it’s safety point, Zerori struggled to take in deep, calming breathes before she attempted to rip the tiny clouds to shreds. If she didn’t know better, she’d almost admit having lost her grip over reality. No, it was surely just the affect this place was having on her. Letting a final breath, she mentally logged away the notes they had all given her. Etoru… she didn’t see him here, ever. If he died, surely she would have felt it, right?

Looking away from the cloud to her allies, she raised a brow at Alaistair and pondered his idea. She’d never tried to learn that Earthling technique, even if it surely would have assisted her. Assuming her control over magic was finite, she didn’t even try to ‘feel’ out the energy of those she cared about. But with Etoru… She just knew if he was hurt or killed. “N-No, that’s fine,” She declined with a defeated tone, her emotions running high with the sudden rise of fall of her anger. Turning back to Xylo, she playful punched him towards the chest before turning away from the group. “You’re right…”

Taking a few steps away, she glared at a rock before shaking her head, “He’s far more powerful than I give him credit and… it’s a little annoying that you guys know that better than I,” The admittance stung but their soft responses made it difficult to just shrug off the shame. Looking back at them, Zerori pointed to Alaistair, “I’m leaving. Our deal still stands and I’ll make the tournament the best damn show for your little ‘experiment’. Just keep your end of the bargain and I promise I’ll make it worth your while.” Turning away, she placed her hands on her hips and walked off with an apathetic wave.

“Later. Don’t get too wrapped up taking over Namek. I might just want a piece of that action some day…”

((Sorry if this is kinda bad - just don't wanna hold up the thread anymore and I can't think of much Zerori can say/do in this situation.))

Plato grumbled as Zerori let go of him, not ripping him to shreds. A sigh also escaped him, he thought he was actually become cat food, well ghost cat food but still, it was not going to be pretty. "Yes, if she did die, i guess we'd all know about it." He crossed his arms over his chest, "I must admit, i can see why their suiting for peace, but at the same time, they could easily destroy the empire, i've meet at least 3 people who have a sizable chance to defeat the queen, and end her madness, i highly doubt peace will last, saiyans by nature are destructive and when i return i'll probley give vegeta one of my visit's i got to meet whoever send the sse troops Carva and Arias to my world." He tightened his fist with rage, nearly spitting out carva's name, "Wonder were they are i may need to pay at least carva a vist we got some scroces that need settling."

He turned as Zerori began to leave he nodding, "Alright, i hope we meet agian Zerori." He said nothing more nothing less, he was going to be as kind as possible, though he didn't have any reason to like her that much, she did try to kill him though he could understand her reaction based on what he understood, she cared for the boy, his eyes closing for a moment, "it always strange to me with those who people love, the warm embrace something i have not felt, in decades." Plato voice was somber and sad as he spoke as he began to dwell on a past he could hardly piece together, it all taken away so long ago perhaps if he had a normal life, he'd be so much happier, but he felt empty of those emotions just filled with bitterness and anger. It made him question what he had been doing all this time, the feelings that he seeked, when he became king he felt it for the first time in a long time his people loved him, and he loved them, and he would do anything to protect them, but then....it all ended. He shut his eyes the only things appearing in his mind was walker and carva, the two men who snatched the small feeling of love he had, now he was consumed by the hate he was born under, by the kashvarr.

His eyes shut open when Alistair spoke his gaze narrowed into a death gaze at Alistar, "Careful what you say, the kashvarr are the ones who seal beast into us not ourselves sealing them into us." He crossed his arm though deep down he had suspicions that his people might of been willing to seal beasts withen themselves in times of need, but it was different from the forced insertions of these monsters into young children to be used to kill their kin. "As for age, you'd have to be old, you could of perhaps been like xylo and traveled to konats maybe an odd 15 years ago, but i don't buy that i understand demons can live for hundreds if not thousands of years, so i'd say in that ball park but i have a question for you, if your so old and perhaps wise i want an answer to a question one that has been bugging me." He crossed his arms his glare narrowing even more only a small white hue could be seen from his nearly closed eyes before opening slowly, "Do you know what forced my people to flee, those secrets i have not found and whatever us sent us packing nearly 20 years ago, may eventually return or maybe destroying or home galxey as we speak, when i return and reclaim konats or at least put it in a state where i'll be safe that threat will need to be taken care of, so do you know or are you perhaps just a long living demon, though i've already concluded that may not be true, what you are i don't know but some normal demon, no...i'm not that foolish."
