Jormungandr sat at a table in one of West Capitol's many cafes, sipping a mug of coffee as she watched the sunrise. She had also purchased a small plate of breakfast, consisting solely of sausage and bacon, but she had already finished that. As she basked in the meager light and warmth that seeped through the window, she attempted to relax, the quiet atmosphere of the cafe gradually calming her thoughts. Her life on Earth had been anything but peaceful, but, overall, she had enjoyed it. The planet's residents weren't too unpleasant most of the time, and her friendship with Capper, an surprising arrangement to say the least, was the best thing that had ever happened to her. Yes, the demoness reflected, her brief time on Earth had been pleasant indeed. That would end soon, however, as Capper was leaving, heading to his home planet of Vegeta, and the reptilian fiend wasn't going to let him leave without her. She sighed and dismissed such thoughts, rising, and stretching languidly before exiting the cafe, shuddering slightly as undiluted rays of sunlight fell upon her. West Capitol's climate was very much to her liking; warm, and rather dry. That was the main reason she had chosen the city as her home base upon this planet. She strolled down the street, whistling softly as she walked, her weighted clothing rustling beneath her robes.
The weights, while they did weaken her, could not fully account for just how low her power currently was, for the serpent was practicing a technique she had recently learned; Ki Setting. As soon as she had awoken, she had donned her weights and lowered her power to 5,000, holding it there for as long as sher could. Her ki had attempted to flare back up to its natural level a few times, but for her first time using the technique, things were going well. Any who read her power level with a scouter, or sensed her ki, would think she was far weaker than she actually was, and her attacks would not convince them otherwise unless she deliberately dropped the setting. |

So, could you tell me why we're here again? Rinsuji would ask Collan "I know Jormungandr is here, I want to see how strong she is before IT happens." Huh...that's a pretty good idea actually Collan continued to walk through West City, he was looking for Jor since he had sensed her energy while passing by.
He had been preparing for IT for a while now, and was going to keep doing so until the time came. As he continued to walk, he noticed her exiting a cafe. While he really hated this, and knew this could be the biggest mistake of his life... he approached her.
"So, I see your having a good time. Also before you say anything, I'm not here for a fight." he seemed pretty serious when he said this, staring directly at her. "I just came to check you out, and it seems you've learned the same trick that I have." He noticed that she had gotten considerably weaker, no one get's as weak as she is now in just days.
He then continued with this simple question"Now, there's just one thing I want you to tell me...why do all these good things you've been doing recently? Protecting Capper, helping me save the city from an Oozaru, why all this after you've applied to my thoughts that you only care about torturing people." He just stood there...waiting for an answer.

"Uh... lady, I ask that you try and not too cause too much of a disturbance. You are very, VERY loud." A rather grumpy-looking human male with a scaggy beard and glasses whom was manning the register spoke to the furry folk whom he had the misfortune to be dealing with at this time.
"I'm not causing any form of disturbance! I merely request caramel in my latte! I had ordered specifically a vanilla/caramel latte, and yet you miss out one of the key ingredients! Dreadful dreadful dreadful!" Astaroth IV would rather irritantly respond, holding a plastic cup filled with espresso and milk and topped with cream; she tapping a finger on the marble counter that she was in front of. Her tail flicked wildly, accidentally whapping another customer as she waited in line; causing him and some of the people behind him in line to start to sport some grumpy and or annoyed looks to the demon/zoan as she waited for her demands to be fulfilled.
The man sighed, not wanting to really deal with the very snooty woman much longer. "Fine fine, just stop yelling." He would say, muttering in his breath why he was the one who always had to deal with the weirdos. Taking the drink back, he promptly refilled it with some caramel flavoring and a new dose of cream. Handing it back to the girl, Astaroth IV promptly swiped it out of his hand; sticking her tongue out before walking out out of the cafe.
"Dreadful service. I swear that when I rule this world, I will have any coffee-servers who sass-talk paying customers stripped to their birthday suits and flogged for such rudeness!" She would say to herself, still rather unaware that she was even raising her voice for folks to hear due to idly debating why humans called being naked a "birthday suit". The hybrid girl took her drink to a small table underneath an umbrella outside, sitting down in it. Her long, fluffy tail coiled itself close by her; just so any moronic passerby citizens don't go and step on it. As she sat and sipped her sweet-caramely drink, she noticed a violet-scaled serpent-like woman seem to be engaged in a conversation with whom looked to be... saiyan she presumed? Spikey hair seemed to be just a common trait with all of them it seemed. The woman though she could not help but feel like wasn't some normal snake zoan. Just an odd guess though in her mind.
Unfortunately for Astaroth IV, she had absolutely no training when it came to ki sense; so the white-haired young man and the serpentine woman both did not seem to be any different compared to any common folk. If anything, her naiviety in ki in general meant that her power was for the most part unrestrained; very visible to anyone with ki sense. Of course, for the demon/zoan hybrid; she was too pre-occupied with sipping her caffeinated beverage to really be minding that she was sitting by two individuals whom were much stronger than she was.

The demoness stiffened and groaned as she sensed the hybrid's approach. "hello, Collan..." she said, her voice laced with resignation. She tilted her head when Colllan said he didn't want to fight. "ah... in that case, greetings. I am indeed enjoying myself, thank you." said the serpent in a guarded tone. Jormungandr was wary of the hybrid, but Capper seemed fine with him, so she figured she might as well try to at least keep them from being mortal enemies for the rest of eternity. Her eyes narrowed for a split second as he mentioned that she must have learned the same trick as him, but she quickly recovered, shifting so that the weighted clothing she wore was just barely visible. "what do mean?" she inquired calmly, then sighed as he interrogated her about her recent actions. For a moment, she remained silent, leaning against the wall of the cafe. "....I... I'm not sure." she said finally. "there's just... something about Capper. I like the little guy. Everything else stems from that"
The demoness was speaking more to herself than Collan, as she truly didn't understand why the change had occurred.
As she finished talking, the sound of vehement complaints distracted Jormungandr. She glanced at the door, and her jaw dropped as a woman exited the cafe, sitting down at a nearby table. The woman's appearance was unusual, but the fiend was used to strange-looking people. It was the woman's ki that caught her attention. "She... she's half-demon!" exclaimed the serpent, temporarily forgetting all about Collan - and the fact that people generally weren't exactly fond of demons or those who shared the blood of fiends.
Jormungandr approached the demonic hybrid. "Greetings." she said, figuring that was as good a way as any to begin the conversation. |

Collan continued to listen in on his answers, and they didn't really let him know too much. But they were fine, until Jor had shouted about someone being a half demon and ran over to them. "Hey!" He followed her, as he saw Jor greet this person she said was a half demon. Collan cold sense it as well, he had sensed the energy of both a demon and half demon before, so it was easy to tell.
Collan was more of just there with Jor, as she tried to engage in a conversation with this half demon.

As Astaroth IV minded herself, he managed to hear a small bit of their little conversation, something about saving a city from an Oozaru. Odd when the humanish/saiyan she presumed made a passing comment that she seemed to only care about torturing folk. Two pretty conflicting actions, but she supposed everyone had their own motives and goals. Looks like though the woman noticed her, making a passing comment that she was half-demon. It was only then that Astaroth IV's full attention was drawn towards the pair, a few passerby citizens starting to sort of glance towards them and her. "Hey, try and not go point that stuff out in public. Mortals get antsy when they hear that stuff." She would say aloud in a nonchalant manner to the serpent woman, taking another sip from her drink.
She was honestly a bit surprised that she had figured that out just from looks alone... which to Astaroth IV meant one thing, she was likely a demon of some sort herself. Now that Astaroth thought about it, it did seem to make sense. Demons were usually able to easily pick out their kind, though the hybrid demon was unfortunately rather unversed in that regard due to the only demon kind she's known is her mother and her half-demon sibling, so she was not exactly good at identifying her own kind. She looked at the demon snake, glancing at her tall violet-tinged figure slightly. "I take though that you are familiar with my kind though, hmm? Most folk just assume I'm some weird little zoan, so either you are very observant or have demonic blood yourself." She would say to the woman, eyeing the saiyan/human as well. He looked young, kinda cute too actually. "Either way, I suppose that point is moot. I am Astaroth the Fourth, though Astaroth Junior will do just as well. You may have heard of my mother by chance...? Enchantress for hire in the Fortuneteller's Desert." The demon/zoan introduced herself, taking a moment to plug in her mother's business as well. "You two seem to know each other. Friends or acquaintances of a sort?"

"oh, right!" Jormungandr said, ever so slightly mortified by her mistake, as the fiendish hybrid reminded her of the usual reaction to demons. "sorry about that...."
The serpent tilted her head as the woman remarked that she must be either very observant or demonic to have noticed the hybrid's fiendish heritage. "Actually, I could sense your ki, and it gave off a distinctively demonic feel." the demoness informed her, then added. "but yes, I do have demonic blood. In fact, I'm a full-blooded demon"
She held out a hand, following Astaroth's example and introducing herself. "I am Jormungandr. I am afraid I have not heard of your mother; I have lived upon this planet but a few months." she said politely, before involuntarily grimacing as Astaroth asked if she and Collan were friends. "We are most certainly not friends!" she hissed, briefly turning her head to glare at the half-saiyan. |

Collan continued to watch and listen, until the half demon said something that caught his full attention, as he said "We are most certainly not friends!" At the same time as Jor, looking away from the snake like demon that he hated so. He walked a little bit back, trying to get some space from Jor and sat on top of some railing.

So the snake woman knew how to sense ki... well, that explained a few things to Astaroth IV. That one, this woman was at least somewhat versed in using ki; two being that she was keen enough with it to identify her race. "Oh! Hmm. I suppose that would make sense, but I wouldn't know. Ki sense has not been something I've learned at this point, so I would not really know how my race would affect that. Nonetheless, please to meet you Jormungandr. Lovely name if I say so myself." So she was in fact a pure-blood demon? Color Astaroth IV surprised. Honestly, when was the last time she's met one of those beyond her mother? Not even she could remember. Nonetheless, she was interested. "Half-blood. Never knew my father though. He's probably been long dead though. Most zoans don't really last for more than a century ya know? Not normally. Shame really." She would say, placing a hand by her heart. Did pureblood demons even have hearts? Her mother always seemed to joked no, but it was an odd thought to her. Then again, demons varied drastically with physical appearance; so you never knew really... Even she had to admit that demons were strange.
When she questioned the two's relationship, both very promptly denied such acclaims as friendship; both sporting some venomous looks at one another. Not being one to really wish to stir that ire into something greater, the hybrid promptly decided to play it safe. "Fine fine, I am not one to go and try and get into others business; so I won't dwell upon it. It did sound though that you two worked togeher at ONE point, so I felt it worth asking." She would glance to the lone non-demon, noting that he seemed to be a bit on the quiet side. Reminded her of Murmur. "What about you? Care I ask your name? You have not mentioned it, but are you by chance a Saiyan of some sort?" She would ask, a bit of genuine interest in her gaze.

Collan had continued to sit there, until the half demon had asked something about him. "Me? I'm Collan Vixen, the person who's obviously going to become the GREATEST hero." It was a bold statement, but that is something Collan wanted to do, even though he's lost every fight he's been in so far."And no, I'm not a Saiyan, only half." He said this quietly, not wanting to get anyone's attention.
Jor said it was fine that she was skipped. Astaroth IV |

Astaroth IV could not help but actually go into hysterics laughing at Collan's claim, she unfortunately also knowing how rude it was; but she couldn't control it! The "greatest hero" ever. No. Capital "GREATEST hero" ever. It just felt so cheesy... which the demon/zoan actually loved! She managed to calm herself down, wiping a tear from her face. "S-sorry, it was rude of me to laugh. I love your bravado! That's a great trait I feel for a hero in-training! I am excited to see what comes out of you!" She would apologize, her tone very much genuine. She honestly liked seeing people with actual balls to dream big, as they certainly were a dying race these days. People who play too safe or are too pragmatic to try and hit the jackpot. Nonetheless though, the "greatest hero" needs the "greatest villain" and vice-versa. The demon/zoan's face took a slightly darker look, she having a smug and almost sinister persona on it. "Course, you should know; as the future-evil empress of planet Earth... I would not settle to have some silly heroes ruin my fun. Therefore, it appears the two of us will be enemies one day." She would speak in a threatening manner briefly... though it did not take long for her cheery disposition to pop back. "Key word is one day though. For now, hello hello! Glad to meet a potential rival for the future!"
So her suspicions were correct in that Collan had saiyan blood. He reminded her of Marcel some, though that was just in attitude. She doubted this guy had demon blood like Marcel... else Jorm girl would have likely mentioned it or something. "Hmm. I see. Human perhaps? You don't look particularly demonic, so that rules out demon slash saiyan."

Jormungandr nearly choked when Collan called himself the "GREATEST hero". The idea was so ridiculous that, when Astaroth began laughing, she joined in. "the greatest hero..." she snorted. "okay, one: I would crush you in a fight, and there are tons of heroes who would laugh at the idea of me presenting a threat to them. two: Heroes are accepting and forgiving. these are not traits that you've exemplified in my experience." she said, staring at him with an expression that combined amusement with contempt. She perked up at the words "future evil empress of the earth"
"oh really now? that sounds interesting.... I was gonna try that at one point, you know. Found something else I wanted more, though.... also, if you wanna do that, you're going to have to train hard. as it is, you're nowhere near strong enough."
She contemplated offering to spar with the half-demon, but dismissed the idea. As fun as it would be, it would just further convince Collan that she was evil. That didn't mean she wouldn't give the girl advice, though; she clearly needed it, and the fiendish serpent was confident she would always be stronger than this hybrid. |

He didn't mind about how Jormungandr laughed, but having this stranger do it really pissed Collan off. "What was that!? I could easily kick your ass with little effort! Jor, hold me back!" He stared angrily at Astaroth, he already wasn't taking a liking to her. Especially since she had planned to become some sort of evil empress."Now if you plan on just trying to poke fun at the man who's going to prevent anyone like you harming the Earth in anyway, then you better run!" People began to give the three weird looks, they had absolutely no idea what was going on and just thought, Collan, Jor, and Ast were just crazy.Hey, uh, your gaining un wan- Collan cut off the echoing voice of his friend Not now Rinsuji! He thought to himself.

Astaroth IV could not help but look almost a bit disappointed in the saiyan hybrid's reaction to her, he not at all seeming to take her well. What was his deal? She was genuinely rooting for him and this is how he acts? Yeesh, talk about no sense of humor. Kid needed to lighten up big time, not everything in the world was out to get him. "Yo, no need to get all huffy with me now; I was giving you a compliment! If you act like that to every girl you meet, you certainly won't be striking up a relationship." She would exclaim to Colland, half-teasing half-serious. Jormungandr strook up a very solid point with his attitude, it not being very heroic to say the least. "Snakey shakey bits does have a point though. You're getting yourself worked up over nothing. Way I see it, we both dream big... we're just on different sides of the coin. Save that hatred and bloodlust when you really need it." The demon hybrid would try to quietly tell him, trying to dispel his loudness and bring the conversation back to normality.
Astaroth IV was surprised to hear from Jorm that she too once sought for a similar goal, though it seemed the demoness found different ventures since then. She did point out that the girl was probably still pretty weak, something that Astaroth IV fully well knew. She was not a buffoon in regards to her strength, she knowing she is actually quite unskilled. "Yeeeah. I know. You would think two hundred years of trying to train would make you somewhat decent, but I know that I am very well below the curve." She would bemuse a bit sadly, she still being mildly disappointed in her lack of progress. "My mom once tried to rule the world too. That was a millenia ago. Now she just works as a enchantress for folks with enough coin to hire her services. I'm just trying to pick up eight hundred years of slack from her."
She would deadpan for a moment. "And no, she's not a prostitute. Or at least, I am pretty sure thats not all she does."

"Two hundred years?" The serpent asked, tilting her head. "....I'm two hundred years old...." She murmured. So this girl was the same age as her? sure didn't act like it....
She looked at Collan and shook her head. "...she was offering basic courtesy, Collan. Some villains are surprisingly nice people when you get to know them - especially if you're their rival" she told him. "It's a bit odd, but true. Also.... could you maybe not make everyone stare at us? I'd rather not have cops coming over to ask what all the commotion is. that'd be annoying." |
