Report on the Information Broker

– I’m not sure I like it. I miss the shoulder pads and I feel exposed without it. – Nasu complained as he examined the new armor the armor smiths of the Alliance had made for him. The Overseer liked the armor overall, but somehow he felt odd changing the model he had been using ever since he was a child. The armor smith sighed in mild annoyance and shook his head, making Nasu arch one of his eyebrows to him. – Overseer, sir… The protection at this point is… Pointless! Your power level is beyond two hundred thousand! The armor is now… Well… An accessory! Not an useful item! – and the man had a fairly good point, Nasu had to give him that. The Overseer looked to the new battle suit again; he was already using the new blue-colored jumpsuit, which tone just a bit lighter and now it covered up until the middle of his neck, instead of the cleavage.

The gloves remained exactly the same, plain white, and the boots were quite similar, the only difference being the tip they had now: it was in a similar pattern to the shoulder straps on the armor, which pleased Nasu. – Hmm… - as he analyzed his new armor, he finally nodded, exhaling deeply and staring at the armor smith. – Okay, you have a pretty good point. I like it in the end, just will take me a while to adapt. – he said, staring back at the mirror. Nasu was quite impressed with himself. Although he didn’t grow in size, remaining at 5’7”, he grew quite bulkier ever since he started training like crazy in order to surpass Atsuko, and he liked it. He felt much more imposing and majestic, the image one would expect from a leader. Now that he had decided, he quickly put on his new battle suit, taking advantage of its elastic properties to easily fit it into his body. Then, he stared back at the mirror and analyzed it once again.

– Yeah, I’m satisfied. – he said, without staring to the armor smith. The man chuckled a bit and nodded. – I knew you would, sir! – Nasu spent a short while staring at himself until he was completely happy about it. The saiyan Overseer wrapped his tail around his waist in a belt-like fashion and the design of the armor fit it perfectly, although he would still miss his tight guards for a while.

– Alright! You can produce the others. I will be using this model from now one. – He said, but then, before the man could answer, a message arrived for Nasu, coming from the general communication channel; Nasu had stopped using his red-colored advanced scouter for a few days now. He was trying to improve his sensing ability. Instead, he configured his scouter to send all communication sent to him to the nearby communicator device, and that’s how he got Kyuri’s message. Nasu’s expression became more serious as he heard her voice, saying she hoped he wasn’t too busy.

– I’m available. Speak. – he answered. Kyuri then proceed to explain that Kinoko had managed to contact the information broker on Planet Vegeta, or whatever the fuck it was called nowadays. ”Those narcissistic bastards with godly complex…” he thought to himself, thinking of the bastard known as Jarvis Blehbarry, the new King of Vegeta; Nasu still refused to call him by the stupid titled he casted upon himself. Nasu folded his arms, listening carefully to what his grandmother had to say and, once she finished, he answered. – That’s top priority. I will be heading there right away. Isolate the area. The only people allowed in there will be the three of us. I want the whole place on Council clearance level. – and by saying that, it meant that only counselors would be able to learn of those information in the future. It was the highest clearance level in the Saiyan Alliance.

Having said that, Nasu immediately flared his ghostly-white ki aura, letting go of his ki suppression, since he couldn’t maintain it while using techniques, even basic ones such as flight, and then he took the crimson skies of Natto, flying at his top speed towards the tower. Nasu would probably arrive before everyone could leave the place due to his absurd speed and absolutely no shame in using it. Upon arriving, the saiyans there stared at him, some with admiration, others with fear, and some others with both. He stared at them with a serious expression and, surprisingly enough, he was polite. – I will be waiting for you all to leave the area. You will all be allowed back once this matter is handled. Thank you for your service. – he would say, despite his cold tone. Nasu wasn’t a nice person, but he was trying now. He was trying really hard to be admired by his people ever since his last spar with Karota, who taught him a lot about his parents and of what a leader should be.

Then, he walked towards the room where Kinoko and Kyuri were. Once there, he couldn’t help but to stare at the private saiyaness almost naked again and exhaled deeply. – Look, I can provide you some battle suit, if you want. I don’t know why you walk around half-naked. Half being quite the euphemism. – he said, feeling slightly annoyed. Still, Nasu didn’t seem embarrassed by her, although, deep inside his heart, in a place no one in that room would be able to see, he started feeling some desire for the first time on his life. It wasn’t love or any sort of romantic feeling, Nasu wasn’t one of those. He was feeling the inner flaming desire to fuck that saiyanes and not in a gentle way. Oddly enough, the might saiyan Overseer was still a virgin.

Once the whole place was cleared, Nasu focused on the new private of the Alliance, wondering how she would react to his clothing offer. Nasu thought she would complain a bit about it as she seemed to love being half-naked, but, to his surprise, she said she would appreciate the offer, since it was a bother to be using the same cloth every single day, but didn’t fail to point out that her looks were useful in a fight against many males and he knew she had a fair point, but, still, that was quite annoying. – Inexperienced fighters guided by foolish instincts are your most likely victims. Lucky for you there are plenty of those around the universe. – he commented, sighing in annoyance. – Bunch of fools. – he added, rolling his eyes when she showed even more skin; Nasu was actually glad when they got back to business, with Kinoko informing she managed to find the broker’s frequency.

Kinoko said the broker’s name was Nakiya. Didn’t sound like a saiyan name at all, but the person who appeared on the screen was definitely a saiyan or at least a hybrid. Probably the later with such a name, Nasu thought, shrugging a bit; he didn’t care whether she was a full saiyan, a half-breed or even a freaking bas, as long as she could provide information. Of course the fact that it seemed to have saiyan blood was a plus. Nasu had trouble trusting people in general, especially non-saiyans.

Nasu didn’t fail to notice that this Nakiya person was contacting them from a very comfortable looking place. ”She must have plenty of resources and she must be in good terms with the new government. That or she is hiding very carefully. Either way we will find out.” he thought to himself, as he listened to the broker’s speech. She said it was a pleasure to finally meet the Overseer and Nasu nodded. Then she confirmed her name was indeed Nakiya and asked if he was looking for information. Nasu chuckled a bit and cracked a subtle grin with the corner of his mouth.

– So you are the broker? Business must be good. – he said, showing he had paid attention to her environment. – Which means you must have some good information to share. – he added before pausing briefly. – So, Nakiya, hm? Before we get to business, let’s build some trust, shall we? Well… I know brokers have plenty of secrets and that you won’t likely share a quarter of what you know, but let’s start with this: how are you still alive? – he asked, pausing again. – Let me explain. – and then he folded his arms, going back to a more serious expression now.

– You are a broker on Vegeta with a new ruler that I know well. Jarvis is cruel and treacherous. He would kill you on the spot if he knew about your schemes. – Nasu said. Her initial answer would determine what he would end up asking later, as well as his trust in Kinoko.

Nasu was learning to become calmer than he was previously, but it didn’t mean he stopped being angered rather easily. When the saiyan named Nakiya called him a child, he frowned his brows a bit, feeling the anger building up inside of him. Nasu held his breath and tried to calm himself. ”Chill out. You will control this conversation.” he said to himself, showing little of his irritation. Still, he couldn’t really tell if she was just teasing him, trying to test if he would lose it easily, or if she was actually old; saiyans are still look rather young up until the age of eighty and, if that was the case, then she would be correct to call Nasu a child, he was yet to turn twenty one.

After another tease, Nakiya decided to speak and said that she was closely tied to the new King since long before he claimed the titled. It couldn’t be all that long, considering Nasu witnessed Jarvis dying while on Earth. ”Perhaps she knows him from before he went to Earth. I remember him telling me that he had just arrived when we were still unsure if we were allies or enemies. That bastard. I wish I could punch him in the face!” he thought to himself, just seriously staring at the screen, nodding once she explained her relation to Jarvis. Then she made a rethorical question, pointing out a relation to Jarvis’ newly acquired power to herself, which immediately bugged Nasu. ”She is implying she has something to do with his rise in power. What does that mean?” he wondered as she continued speaking, now of Kinoko, whom she called Nasu’s pet.

The young Overseer hmphed when she implying that, but left at that, paying attention on what she was still saying. Nakiya said it was risky for him to be contacting her because she had issues letting go of those she found interesting, and that made Nasu crack quite cocky smirk.

– I’m sure I’m a field day for anybody; after all, I’m the head of the strongest faction of the whole universe! – he said, boasting a little bit, but he wasn’t lying; the Saiyan Alliance had, as of now, six super saiyans and seemed like there was another one with the potential, that Nasu could later help with his development, the young man named Negi that he was yet to be introduced to. First, like Karota said, he needed to improve himself as a person, and he was trying hard.

– But, fair enough, you’ve given me a fair explanation on why your head isn’t on a spike. – he said, pausing briefly. – Say, Nakiya, what is in for you? I’m well aware a broker won’t be sharing any knowledge for free, and I like to know up front in what kind of bargain I’m getting myself into. – the Overseer said. Nasu may be young and a saiyan, but he was clever and thought ahead of things.

That person named Nakiya seemed to never give up on trying to get under Nasu’s skin. She made it sound like the Alliance was, perhaps, not the strongest faction in the whole universe and that made Nasu’s smirk to immediately disappear, making him acquire again a quite serious expression. His brows frowned a bit too and he stared at what would be her eyes on the screen. ”Cheeky bitch!” he thought to himself, feeling rather annoyed.

The young Overseer was doing his best to keep his anger at bay so that it wouldn’t interfere with their conversation in a negative way. At least seemed like they would start talking business now. However, Nakiya said something that immediately rang the alarm on his mind. She said “your race”. ”What?!” Nasu couldn’t even keep the surprise to himself, as he immediately widened his eyes and opened his mouth a bit, showing his teeth as a cold drop of sweat ran down his left temple, touching his distinguishing cross-shaped scar on his cheek.

– My race?! – he exclaimed as she finished her speech. Nasu caught her slip in her disguise and that was now making him rather mad. On top of trying to make a fool of him, she was also asking for his royal blood and that was overly cheeky and bold, not to say almost suicidal; Nakiya really didn’t know the overseer of the Saiyan Alliance, but she was about to learn about him now. Then, to end it all, he eyes flashed red and Nasu was now on full alerted mode and he didn’t fail to notice that. His expression of surprise quickly started changing to that of rage, and the saiyan who was up until now doing his best to keep his anger at bay, was now letting it go.

– You shitty bastard!!! – he roared and with his roar as he clenched both his fists. Then, a bright fiery-like golden aura was lit around his body. His hair bristled and grew spiked, glowing in a golden hue. His eyes became teal in color and his power level skyrocketed absurdly. It was probably one of the strongest power levels Nakiya would have ever feel, if she had any way of detecting it from where she was.

[Super Saiyan Full Power. Current PL: 3,528,288]

The whole tower was shaking now, almost like it was about to blow, and the transmission channel was getting some interference; nothing that would end the call, but still quite a lot. – You are trying to play me the fool pretending you are a saiyan?! Do you take me this lightly, woman?! – he asked with pure rage in his tone. – I’m the mighty son of Natto and Tomoroko, the legends that created the Saiyan Alliance! I’m the Super Saiyan and the Overseer of the strongest faction in the universe! You will be wise not to treat me lightly, woman!! I’m not an enemy one would like to have! – For those who knew him, Nasu’s anger was quite controlled and that was impressive; he hadn’t destroyed anything yet, and he seemed to be holding the worst part of his rage inside of him so that he wouldn’t do anything harsh. Dang! He was even trying to keep up the conversation with nothing but one mild threat.

He was really improving!

Nasu wasn’t just angry when he turned. No, it was an action that he also put some thought behind it, although too much. He wanted to show a display of power and perhaps intimidate the damn woman into stop trying to make a fool out of him, but to his incredible surprise, she seemed unfazed and that just got him angrier with her. ”That… Bastard!” he thought to himself, with a vein popping out of his left temple. She was even cheekier when she tried to throw a stupid argument at him, claiming she never said she was a saiyan. Nasu growled again, cutting through her speech. – An image is worth a thousand words! Cut it! – he said in a quite unfriendly tone; it didn’t matter if she “didn’t say” she was a saiyan with her mouth, she was presenting herself as such and that was enough! She meant to trick him, whatever reason she had for that and he wouldn’t fall for such a stupid simpleton argument such as that.

And then, just a second later she admitted using a form to trick him and that got her another growl from the mighty fully powered super saiyan. Then, Nakiya said that since he had shown her his “true form”, she would return the kindness. Her body began to change a hell lot, almost like she was catching on fire. Well, Nasu had seen a similar transformation before, with his sister’s stupid lap dog, Bernael, which helped him jump to the correct assumption of what she was. – A demon! – he exclaimed. Although his tone had a bit of surprise, his anger seemed to be fading away and now he had a much calmer expression, although still angered, as it could be noticed by his gritted teeth and frowned brows.

Nasu couldn’t feel her power level, and that just confirmed that she was indeed far away, maybe even on Planet Vegeta – yes, Nasu couldn’t help himself but to call it that, it had been the planet’s name for thousands of years, and no blue-haired clown would make him think otherwise. Then, Nakiya began to speak again, making her assumptions. She thought that there were three particular traits Nasu respected: his race, power and nobility and then introduced herself as Queen Nakiya Devla, Overlord of the Realm of the Demons and Ally to Jarvis. Nasu exhaled deeply and his anger faded away a tad bit more, and now he looked more serious than angry.

Nakiya said that it made them extended allies since the Saiyan Alliance and the Cerulean Empire were allies now, although they were yet to formalize their peace treaty with a meeting soon to occur. Nasu folded his arms once again when she ended her speech and, as he was about to answer, Kinoko exclaimed something, which irritated him, but not because of the saiyaness herself, but just because Nasu was at the point of exploding at anything. He took a very deep breath and stared at her with the corner of his teal-colored eyes. – Stay silent, private! – he ordered her in a tone that left to space for answers. Then, he turned back to Nakiya.

– First, let me tell you; you are partially right. I respect saiyans, they are my kin and I value them more than any other race in the universe, but make no mistake. I have no qualms in killing saiyans if they are my enemies. As for power… I don’t respect power. I don’t give a rats ass of how strong one person is. The only thing I care is about getting stronger and making my allies stronger. – he said with a quite serious but honest one. – As for royalty, demon queen, I don’t give a single fuck. Don’t take my lineage as a sign of respect to such stupidity such as royalty. If my parents were just simple peasants but strong as they were, I would announce it just as proudly! My father was the strongest being in the whole universe, and my mother followed right behind him! That’s how much my blood is worthy! In this blood flows the true pinnacle of saiyan potential… Which leads me to our bargain… - he said with a serious tone, but, as he paused, he managed to once again crack a grin.

– Your information must be pretty impressive for me to pay for it with my blood. And, don’t get the wrong idea, I’m inclined to pay for it, demon queen, but it has to be worthy. And for my blood I get to take make at least two questions, which I can settle for. – he said, chuckling a bit. – First, tell me what the goal of the Cerulean Empire is, or at least what the basis for its foundation is… And second, tell me Jarvis’ weakness. He is far too sentimental, he must have one. In case I need to use it one day, of course. – those were Nasu’s terms in order to pay Nakiya with hs blood.

Seemed like the demon queen Nakiya would be sharing some of her knowledge with him after all. Of course she didn’t lose an opportunity to tease him, calling him little Overseer, which, in turn, he responded, though only in his mind. ”Little bitch!” he said to himself, hmphing a bit. Nasu knew she was referring to Komatsu most likely, since he was the only youngling the android emissary met, unless she was referring to the unimportant Kold demon that had the balls to try and bring justice to whoever he pleases, ignoring the Alliance’s sovereignty, but Nasu didn’t even know much of that Bris guy anyway, nor did he care a single bit.

Then, Nakiya started answering the questions. Seemed like Jarvis was quite cunning, he had to give him that; he was freeing slaves and planets from the ruthless and cruel hands of the Saiyan Empire and, in turn, many of those were joining back as free folks, which would, as consequence, generating a far greater loyalty, something Nasu already knew, but was constantly reminded of by Karota during their training sessions and on every conversation they had, whenever Nasu began heading towards a more tyrannical behavior. It was annoying how much those fucking weaklings loved the concept of freedom. Damn, even Leena carved this absolutely subjective freedom and that was her reticence in joining the Alliance from her heart. Nasu caught himself thinking of Leena. ”Wonder if she will return… Dammit! I should’ve tied our deal better!” he reprehended himself, but there was no use crying over spilled milk, if she was to return, then he would make sure he would make her stay. He needed her power, but was that the sole reason? He didn’t but much thought into it.

Of course Nasu wasn’t believing everything Nakiya was saying. She was most likely exaggerating the strength of the Cerulean Empire; Nasu wasn’t a rookie at war and military, having been part of one his whole life. Even if people were joining, they had just faced a civil war. There was no way it was already stronger than it was. Of course it had potential to reach such a state, but it would take more than a month, but nevertheless, he took a mental note of that and would act as if it was really stronger than the Saiyan Empire was. Better to be safe than sorry.

Then she began answering what was, to Nasu, the most important question: Jarvis’ weakness. Nasu was quite surprised to know about the tail weakness. ”What a moron… He still has such a weakness? He is a rookie after all. A helpless mercenary who was lucky enough to grow strong and defeat Athren.” he thought to himself, shaking his head a bit in disapproval. Then, Nakiya mentioned about a bride named Nori that he seemed to be quite fond of. Nasu narrowed his eyes and his grin widened until it became a mischievous, almost evil smirk.

– Now that’s something worth my time. – he said, Then, he shrugged, chuckling a bit. – Very well, demon queen! The payment. – Nasu paused briefly and stared at Kyuri. – Bring me a syringe, one that can piece my super saiyan skin! – he asked with some order into his tone, then, he stared back at the screen. – How do you plan on receiving this? – he asked, as he took off his left white glove and pulled up his blue-colored jumpsuit on his left arm, exposing his elbow joint, now only waiting for Kyuri to give him the syringe so that he could keep up to his word.

Kyuri went to get the tools so that Nasu could give her a blood sample and the young Overseer waited there. Once she returned with the tools, Nasu was ready to take them when Nakiya spoke once again, suggesting she could pick it up, as it would make their meeting much more personal. Nasu shrugged. - Fine by me. When should I be expecting your arrival? – he asked, but just as he finished asking, something weird happened; The connection started to break up, only known from the other side. It was hard to really tell what was going on, but seemed like some dark energy was gathering on the other side. Nasu frowned his brows and narrowed his eyes, with a far more serious expression.

”The heck is she doing?!” he couldn’t help but ask himself. Then a whirlpool of pure darkness could be seen from the screen and, in the following second, the same whirlpool appeared on the other side of the screen, right inside Kyuri’s tower. Nasu quickly took a back step, alerted by that unknown turn of events. ”What?!” he exclaimed inside his mind as Nakiya surged in the same environment they were at. Nasu knew it wasn’t an illusion because he managed to feel her power level immediately. He energy signature was strong, but nothing incredible, she was at around one million. He could easily deal with her if it was needed, but he believed it wouldn’t come to that; she would be crazy to go to Planet Natto alone and cause trouble.

Nakiya greeted Nasu, saying he was more impressive in person and he shrugged. – You are not half-bad yourself, demon queen. – he answered to the compliment. Then, Kyuri positioned herself in order to extract his blood. Discretely she showed she didn’t approve of it and Nasu just snorted discretely, showing he wasn’t concerned to the slightest. Nasu was either being stupid or had same trick for the case someone tried to control his mind. Other than that, what was the worst case scenario? A bio android? A clone? None of them would compare to the mighty of the true Overseer of the Saiyan Alliance, and would only end up his play things before they were completely eradicated from existence if they ever met.

– Here is your blood sample, Nakiya. I’m a saiyan of my word. – he said with a serious tone. Kyuri was having some trouble piecing his skin and, therefore, he suppressed his power level for a short second, allowing the needle of the syringe to pierce through his skin and draw some of his crimson blood. Once she was done collecting, he would release his ki suppression at once, reaching the pinnacle of his power once again; he was in front of a potential threat and he wouldn’t lower his guard for a second, no matter how much it seemed like they were in good and diplomatic terms right now.

Nasu stared at Nakiyas’s eyes the whole time, without even blinking.
