No Rest For The Wicked! [Nasu/People on the ships]

The Star Javelin, Natto’s old mothership had just recently been restored back to its prime. The large ship travelled across space, to reach the middle, neutral ground, between the Saiyan Empire and the Saiyan Alliance’s intergalactic space. Nasu was inside his chambers waiting for the two mothership to encounter themselves in the middle of space. As it had been settled before, Nasu would be bringing three companions with him, while Jarvis was also allowed three companions with him in a more neutral environment, to be generated by the gravitational field in between the two ships, generating an artificial atmosphere where they could talk and breathe.

Once they caught sight of the Cerulean mothership, Nasu was informed over the speakers in his room. The young saiyan Overseer quickly got up from his bad and went for his wardrobe, where he picked one of his new battle suits. He put it on and wrapped his tail around his waist in a belt-like fashion, like most saiyans did. Then, he approached the speaker on his chamber.

– Inform Miso, Karota and Leena to get ready, and by getting ready I mean, turn super saiyan. – he ordered and the chief of staff of the mothership answered with a “Roger that!”. Once he turned off the speaker, Nasu immediately summoned his bright golden ki aura around his body, making his hair grow spiked and glowing. His eyes became teal and his muscle mass increased just slightly as he reached his fully powered super saiyan form. The power was natural to him, almost an extension of himself and put no strains on his body whatsoever. He couldn’t yet sense Jarvis’ power, since they were still miles apart, but it would be good for them to sense and detect the members of the Alliance already at their prime, instead of transforming.

Then, Nasu headed straight to the main room, where the deactivated gravity chamber used to lie. That was the gathering point where he would meet the rest of his companions as the two mothership slowly approached each other now. While on his path to the chamber, he finally felt it, Jarvis’ energy signature. It had truly became massive, much higher than he would’ve expected and that made Nasu frown his brows a little. ”That bastard! How did his power level grow so much?!” he wondered. Maybe it was indeed that demon queen’s doing, maybe that water was truly powerful and capable of increasing one’s power that much, or maybe Jarvis was putting himself into some serious training, just like Nasu was; he was the King of an Empire now, and he needed to be strong to both keep his position from his enemies, and from his underlings alike. ”Doesn’t matter, though. Not even his crazy speed is superior to mine now. And I don’t sense any other power that is even close to his own. That’s good to know in the end, although I truly hope this meeting goes well. Unless he wants to be a cheeky bastard and try to be a smartass.” he thought to himself, folding his arms as he waited for the others.

Karota was the first one to arrive; she was already at her fully powered super saiyan form and wearing her classic suit; a light-red t-shaped jumpsuit, a simple white colored battle suit and baggy light-red pants with black boots. She also wore red wristbands. Her looks were a mix from both saiyan and earthling style, matching perfectly her heritage.

The Saiyan Colonel just greeted Nasu with a brief nod and he answered likewise. Miso was next. The absurdly tall saiyan with over 7 feet tall arrived at his fully powered super saiyan form. Nasu was glad he wasn’t using his favorite third grade form as it made him look rather monstrous. The Saiyan General chuckled as he arrived and folded his muscular arms. – So we are going to meet King little shit now? Heh! – he said with his arrogant tone.

Miso
[Super Saiyan Full Power. Current PL: 1,356,768]

Nasu just stared at him, but Karota did the speaking. – Yes we are, and you should better avoid calling him that. In fact, you should better don’t speak at all. Just stand there and look strong! Leave the talking for me and Nasu! – she had a rather bossy tone and Miso’s answer was just a loud laugher. – Listen to her. – and Miso shrugged. – Not like I want to talk anyway… - he said with his conceited smirk on the corner of his mouth. Now only Leena was missing, but they could already sense her approaching.

The two motherships would be meeting at any time now, and the meeting would start.

Nasu felt another familiar energy signature there, near Jarvis, and it was the demon queen’s energy, he wouldn’t fail to recognize that. Karota immediately stared at Nasu when she felt her power increasing until it reached around one million and Nasu nodded to her, confirming her suspicion. – It’s the demon queen Kyuri told you guys about. – he said and Miso chuckled a bit. – Look at that, the proud and might heir of the Saiyan Empire, and I can barely even see a “saiyan” in it. Heh. Guess they flew way too close to the sun and now it’s coming back to bite them right at their tails! And I doubt they had trained their tails for that! Heh! – Miso’s tone was cheeky as always, but sometimes he was capable of sharing some wisdom, and this was one of this rare occasions. – Her energy signature is absolutely awful… Feels… Completely rotten and evil! But this King Caesar too feels that way, almost like… They are sharing some bits of their energy. I guess I’m beginning to understand what you meant by saying that she helped him grow strong. His power is incredible, but also vile. – the hybrid saiyaness said and Nasu nodded in agreement.

A large part of him despised Jarvis for recurring to such lowly methods to increase his power level, but, at the same time, Nasu felt envious. Of course he was still strongest than the brenchian-saiyan hybrid, but, still, the difference wasn’t so great and, if Jarvis was capable of catching up like this, would that mean that Nasu too would be able to catch up with Atsuko should he get some help from this ally of Jarvis? ”No use thinking about it now. I don’t want this power!... Right?!” and doubt was already in his heart, but he lacked the proper ultimate motivation to seek for it and, for now, the temptation was possible to resist.

A second later he felt Leena’s power rising to the pinnacle of her Second Grade form and to feel her presence made a subtle smile to appear on Nasu’s face.

The saiyaness had chosen to stay in suspended animation for the duration of their trip, as she didn’t see herself as worthy to be among the higher ups. Nasu disagreed and, truth be told, he would’ve enjoyed her company if she was there with him, but he didn’t say a word, allowing her to have it her way. She arrived shortly after that and started by apologizing for her delay. – You damn right should, maggot! Left us waiting for ages! Heh! – Miso teased her, as he couldn’t lose the opportunity, but Nasu growled a bit to his uncle. – Shut up! – he ordered, and Miso chuckled. – It’s alright Leena, let’s get going now. – he said in a much kinder tone, but still quite serious despite his subtle smile.

When she said she would be quite and would appreciate if they didn’t ask her any question, Karota stared at her with a serious expression. – They might. Your friend attacked their emissary back then, saying a “Leena” ordered him to do so. They may ask questions about it, and I suggest you either deny involvement, or at least point them to the one responsible for attacking. – Karota’s tone was serious but slightly annoyed; she was still angry with Bris for what he did. Nasu stared at the two of them. – Still, Leena is part of the Alliance. If they don’t treat her accordingly, then we will have issues. – Nasu warned Karota, turning into a much more serious feature.

Karota sighed in annoyance and scratched the back of her golden hair. – Oh boy… Why do I feel troubles? Let’s just hope I’m being paranoid. – she said, sighing once again. Nasu didn’t say a word and, as the Star Javelin approached the landing site, he pressed the button, opening the door of the mothership. The planet they chose to meet was deserted but had an atmosphere, which was being improved by the mothership’s oxygen drive, creating a better environment for them to meet. Nasu floated out of the ship and landed right at the ground, with Miso and Karota close behind him. None of them had ki auras flared, since the mastered power of the super saiyan form became a natural extension of their power once they ascended.

Once on the ground, they waited. ”Come on, Jarvis, show me your ugly smug!” Nasu thought to himself, with a serious look on his face.

As they reached the planet’s grounds, Nasu felt a small energy signature approaching them. The super saiyan Overseer stared towards the energy’s direction and saw a ginger young-looking man. His power level was too low to mean any sort of trouble, so Nasu immediately took him as an errands boy. He was polite and, as he got close to them he apologized for his intrusion and Nasu simply nodded, signing it was okay for him to approach. Karota noticed that Leena tensed up upon the boy’s approach and she touched her shoulder staring seriously at her, as if she was telling her to relax and stay put, and that was pretty much what she was doing. When Vulpeca mentioned the queen, Nasu immediately related to Nakiya, as she was the one he had been sensing. If the saiyan queen named Nori Nasu had heard about was there, her power level must be high enough, so he concluded that she wasn’t, which made sense; considering what Nakiya had informed him in their meeting a couple days ago, Jarvis was quite protective of her and, if this situation had at least one per cent chance of going south, it only made sense that he wouldn’t risk bringing her her. ”Which just helps showing that he cares way too much about her… Good.” he took a mental note of that.

– Impolite as fuck, aren’t you?! Heh! – Miso said with a cheeky tone. Karota and Nasu immediately glared at him, furious he was speaking, but he wasn’t going to pick up a fight. – Should’ve introduced yourself, brat! But I will let it slide! Heh! Instead, I will show you proper manners! I’m Miso, General of the Saiyan Alliance! Heh. And we are ready, take us there already, right folks?! Heh! – and Miso surprised everyone not acting like a complete and utter fool. Nasu exhaled a bit, feeling more at ease now. ”Sometimes I forget he isn’t a complete idiot. Blame’s on him for acting like one all the fucking time.” the young super saiyan thought to himself. Then, Nasu stared at the boy and nodded. – Yes, we are ready to go. Take us to the meeting place. - he said.

Nasu floated again, being followed by Karota, Miso and Leena as he allowed Vulpeca to guide them to the meeting place. On his way there, though, Karota was the first one to sense a power level coming out of nowhere. This person wasn’t there in the first place and, as a master of sensing, she could tell as much, which got her quite bugged. The saiyaness Colonel narrowed her eyes and wondered about it, but didn’t voice any concern. As for Nasu and Miso, they just took it as not noticing it before, but paid no mind to it; that person’s power level wasn’t nearly as much to be considered troublesome and Nasu could easily defeat such a person with nothing but a punch. ”Hmm… Now there are three noticeable power levels and this guy here… Maybe he has others hiding, but it’s not a problem. Again, let’s hope this goes smooth. Our super saiyan power must have been enough to cease any stupid ideas they might have.” he thought to himself.

The young Overseer didn’t care much about the outcome of this treaty, to be honest. There wasn’t much for him in the end. The Alliance was a fertile land with plenty of resources, unlike Planet Vegeta, which needed plenty of conquered estate just to survive alone. While opening commerce with another Empire would be interesting, it wasn’t needed. In truth, the only thing that dragged Nasu into this bargain was the possibility of saving some saiyan lives and bringing them to the Alliance, thus strengthening it, but, still, mostly it was out of sense of preservation of his own race; Nasu might be a cruel and ruthless saiyan, but he cared about his kin and his blood, and maybe those were the sole traces that held him in a more neutral personality alignment instead of outright pure evil.

During his flight, he would stare back at Leena every now and then, discretely, with the corner of his eyes. He wanted to make sure she was alright. He cared about her, and he didn’t want her to get caught into any sort of trouble. ”She is doing pretty fine…” he reassured himself, feeling more relaxed.

The demon boy introduced himself as Vulpeca, the Captain of the Demon Queen’s Royal Guards, and Miso just scoffed a bit as answer. Nasu, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes, analyzing the demon boy. ”If he is the Captain of her personal guard, he must be stronger than he is letting out. Still, considering Nakiya’s power level, he isn’t much even if he can power up a bit. Still, we must be careful. She wouldn’t be a demon queen if she didn’t have some aces up her sleeves and some tricky ways to get strong people to back her up, such as Jarvis.” Nasu thought to himself, with a quite serious expression on his face. The group followed Vulpeca in silence until they arrived in a meeting tent where Vulpeca was the first one to get inside, announcing that they had indeed arrived. Following that, Nasu’s party would get inside, being immediately greeted by the demon queen herself.

Her tone was annoying, like she was talking to a friend while they were, at best, acquaintances. ”What a prick!” he thought to himself, but didn’t show any trace of being annoyed by her words. Instead, Nasu remained absolutely serious and just made a brief nod to her. – Demon Queen. – he limited himself to say. Then, Jarvis laughed out loud after she asked if the trip was uneventful and Nasu finally stared at him; he looked like a clown with that stupid golden armor, almost like he as a peacock wanting to show off wealth and power to impress some half-hearted minions, but Nasu remained unfazed, as did Karota and Miso, all three of them just staring at the new King with a serious expression. Jarvis began to speak and even went as far as to mention his fight against Atsuko on the Lookout and mentioned he would also like to spar with her if he was to go to Earth in the near future. ”You are letting the death of Athren really get to your head… Fool…” he thought to himself in despise, but showed no emotion whatsoever.

Jarvis continued to say that he has heard rumors that she had achieved a new state called super saiyan two and that made Nasu widen his eyes a bit. Deep inside he was absolutely shocked, but his expression showed just a little surprise. ”What?! You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me! That bitch! She ascended to a super saiyan two?! I-impossible! She shouldn’t even know it existed!!” then, Jarvis continues speaking, almost like he was teasing Nasu by asking if he had such a power and he had to fight against all his inner rage not to show his anger. Miso and Karota stared at their Overseer with the corner of their eyes, Miso hoping he would flip the shit, and Karota hoping he would control himself, and the later prevailed. Nasu exhaled deeply. – I’m not here to display saiyan biology. We are here for business, so let’s get it over with. I have a long trip back home ahead of me. – Nasu limited to say in rather unfriendly tone, but he wasn’t being rude yet. Karota sighed in relief and Miso in disappointment, rolling his teal eyes in his orbits, but said nothing.

Nasu approached the table and sit there, leaving his three soldiers behind him. Jarvis was panting the brat’s head, the one with a considerable power level, but Nasu paid no mind to that, he was here with one goal in mind, and he would do his best to accomplish it. He nodded at Jarvis first words, but didn’t say a word, and then he got to it, to the problem part. Nasu widened his nose thrills for a bit and exhaled again, almost as if he was bored. ”Here we go…” he thought to himself, slightly annoyed. He mentioned about the emissary being damaged by Komatsu and Nasu was well aware of that and he said that he was happy to forgive the gesture. ”Fucking clown! That shit was a machine, not even a person. The best you could expect is monetary refund.” he thought to himself, but said nothing.

Then he showed his cards again, the saiyans arrested waiting to be released and brought to the Alliance territory, but there was something that wasn’t on their original arrangements that he wanted him to do. And there it came; he wanted to know about the Lanza, about Leena and Bris. He wanted information about them and was playing his cards as if it was nothing. Nasu leaned backwards into his chair and Karota opened her mouth to speak, but he raised his hand, a clear signal for her to cease any speech and she abided. – You want to know about the Lanza? I believe the reason is the threat the Kold demon made to your unexpected emissary. – and Nasu made sure to put some emphasis on the “unexpected” word, as it would play a role real soon.

– I will tell you what you want, King Caesar. As a sign of good faith between us. – he said with a serious tone, pausing briefly.. – The Lanza is a group headquartered on Earth. And while the Bris individual did threat your emissary, again, unexpected at the time, Komatsu and Karota here made sure he wouldn’t lay a finger on it. – he paused again, approaching from the table. – As for Leena. She is right here. – he said, pointing towards the super saiyaness second grade by his side, and, as he did that, Nasu cracked a subtle grin.

– She is now part of the Alliance, without any bonds to the Lanza. So, if you have a problem with them, that’s between you and the Lanza. You should be well aware that, when your emissary was threatened, the android wasn’t, yet, under our protection. For all legal matters, it was an invader. – he pointed out, shrugging a bit. – Which was later mended. – he pointed out. – So… As far as I know, this Lanza was something like a squad, it had no real headquarter. But ever since Leena joined us we ceased any contact or diplomatic relationship with the Lanza. So… I wouldn’t know exactly where they are, but they are on Earth. This much I can tell for sure, isn’t that right, Leena? – he asked, staring back at the saiyaness. Of course Nasu wasn’t sharing everything he knew, but he wasn’t lying too; when he learned of the Lanza they were planning to build a city, but Leena never told him where or how many they were.
