What a disgrace, Cobb thought as he delivered a final blow on one of the small androids, secretly relishing in its screams of pain. Cobb came out here to the wastelands to get stronger, to vent and be at peace. Cobb looked out onto the wastelands, the dust settling around him. The oil of those old androids still on his hands. He shook the sludge off and sat down on a nearby rock to catch his breath, looking down at his hands. It has not died down... The sayin soldier thought as he continued looked at his hands as they still shook in rage. This feeling...What is this?
He was at his quarters when he heard about the tragedy of Lady Death. He was told she had lost her tail and had to withdraw. He remembered his comrades shaken in fear and indignation. They all believed that it was not possible, that it must have been some type of joke or some error in translation. It was only when the pods came back did it sink in. Lady Death injured and visibly without a tail. 'This is the end,' one of his friends said to him after seeing her sorry state, 'The end of all that we hold dear, of all that we stand for.'
Many of his comrades afterward were never the same. some formed gangs and plotted rebellions, to make their won empires to crush Lady Death and take the throne for their own. His friends then left the planet to find warriors to join them in their cause. They were never seen again. Cobb, as a sign of respect, stopped using dye and contacts for a whole month. After that month, he started to feel something within him. Something he had never felt before. Every day, it ate at him. He could not sleep. Nothing gave him joy. He felt volatile, fragile, and emotionally naked. He hated it. No amount of training nor meditation could stop this feeling.
He flew to his home in the truffle ruins to go on his computer and read about the news about the planet Earth, the blue speck that made this whole travesty possible. He looked at their human news. Some things about the president, things about the new devices that they made. He always found humans and their devices. They were so reliant on them, they couldn't live without them. But then, something caught his eyes. An Earth tournament, and some news about a 'Saya-man Neo'. "Mockery!" He shouted. "They beat us, then they treat us as jokes!" He punched the computer in a fit of rage as sparks and glass flew around the room. Then it became clear. 'Heroes', the 'Earths Strongest', They were the enemy, and even though they were strong together, they were also weak alone. Cobb Realized that they also fought like the sayins, with honor. That was what holding them back as a race. To bring glory back to the Empire... He thought to himself, I must sacrifice what others will not. I must sacrifice my pride, my honor. Only then will this feeling go away. For the glory of our Lady Death.
