To say that Nakiya hated planet Earth was an understatement. She always hated the blue planet of the living realm with a passion... The Earthlings were such pathetic creatures that never amounted to anything on their own. They always needed outside help to accomplish anything at all! Their kind often made pacts with Demon's of her realm to accomplish their selfish desires. Of course, the demon's always benefited from this exchange in the end... but the human race was one that Nakiya had little interest in recreating and taking into her new universe... She could always label Earth's eventual destruction as an accident... an excuse to wipe the pathetic race from the universe...
However, every now and again, the blue planet provided something of interest. In this case, it was a saiyan female, the kami, god and protector of the planet. She was quite the extra-ordinary specimen! Born a saiyan warrior, raised as a human knight. She was truly fascinating! Her blond hair and quick ability to gain power was very reminiscent of the research that Nakiya had been working so hard on for the last 35 years... It was almost as if the girl was a Super Saiyan in her base form... a true majestic specimen of her time. One that Nakiya fully intended to take advantage of, if her plan continued to work in her favor.
As the demoness had taken the Kami into the demonic realm, she was quick to find the blond haired saiyaness unconscious against her sword. Quite a proud display, and no doubt her saiyan blood at work. She would eye the saiyaness carefully before landing by her side. Her eyes would travel to the sword in her hands for a moment and frown.
"Android 1. Can you please take care of... that, for me? I think taking it for a long dark bath could do it wonders." Nakiya would state as she withdrew a pistol that had been strapped to her leg. As she withdrew the gun, it glowed a vibrant purple color before shifting and expanding until it took the form of what appeared to be a humanoid girl.
PL 34,147
"Yes of course master, I will remove the sword immediately." Android 1 would say politely as she stepped towards Excalibur. Meanwhile, Nakiya would gently place her hand on Atsuko's shoulder, gently easing her off of the sword so that she could carry her bridal style back towards the palace so that she could give her a place to rest. The real fun would begin whenever Atsuko woke up.
As for Excalibur, if Android 1 managed to remove her from her perch, she would be taken directly to the dark spring, where she would he tossed into the depths of the pool.

[Thread PL: 433,283. Although it can be sensed, she won't be able to access her full power in a potential battle until properly rested]
Even as injured as she was, even as broken as she appeared, Atsuko was clinging to every last bit of strength she could muster, and that much was clear in how she was still standing despite everything that happened to her. Pulling her away from her prized sword proved to be more of an ordeal than one would have expected it to be. But as she was not awake to resist, Nakiya would eventually prove victorious in her pursuit. It was rather odd to consider that, even though she had been beaten to near death... The Saiyan was recovering at an almost abnormal pace.
Hell, her power had risen sharply from that duel. Although it was decidedly not as much of a rise as Nasu, in seemed that for the time being, he had surpassed her... Although, considering how long their fight took, and how resilient she proved to be, was that so easily the case? In the end, Atsuko was holding back and had greater concerns on her mind... A fact that Nasu took advantage of for his own selfish desires. But it was rather pointless to muse on now; their fight was well over by this point. The Albino Saiyan was lifted up into Nakiya's arms.
As mighty as she normally was, one couldn't deny just how fragile she seemed while unconscious. The Knight would only stir lightly, but it seemed that she was still too exhausted to wake up just yet. Proper rest would likely see to it that she would be awakening very soon, however. And the Demon Queen had seemingly everything laid out in advance for her arrival... With, one wrench within it all; Excalibur's blade had sunken into the ground, and when the Android attempted to pull it free... It was like trying to lift the weight of the world itself.
There was no denying that was a special property of the blade; if it was truly always that heavy, then Atsuko would have no way of wielding it. It must have been a defense mechanism to ensure the blade wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. Still, Nakiya had her greatest prize; Atsuko was captured, alone, and weakened. With her, the sword would likely fall into place. So that left the question of just when the Knight would be waking up... Well, to answer that right now; she was finally becoming more active. Her eyes hadn't opened just yet, however.
Even when she did awaken, the fatigue and injuries she had weren't miraculously going to vanish. It would likely make her more inclined to talk with whoever had just rescued her, that was a potential angle for Nakiya to play, if she were to reach her destination in time... It may prove a little awkward for the Albino Saiyan to obtain consciousness while being held in her arms, after all. Still, the Demon Queen had time to decide what she wanted to do. And that included corrupting her before she awoke... Time would tell just what would happen.
WC: 504 __________ Atsuko will be awakening on my next post!
Android 1 would try again and again to remove Excalibur from it's resting place, hmm'ing every now and again as she attempted to tackle the problem from different angles, even activating her Pandora mode to attempt giving her enough strength to move the sword. However, no matter how hard she tried, her attempts were futile. She would eventually sit down across from the sacred dword with a pensive expression on her face.
"I do not believe that my strength parameters are the issue... my scans dictate that this sword does not hold enough mass to be as heavy as it seems to be. Perhaps this sword has a function where only it's rightful wielder can hold it?" Android 1 would think to herself as she looked at it, almost mesmerized. If only she knew that Excalibur was the original blue print in her and her sister's design, as well as that of Durendal...
"Ah... yes perhaps this is something Durendal could accomplish..." She would mutter to herself as her eyes changed from their red color to a golden sheen as she activated her internal scanners. She would scan the immediate area for life forms, looking to see if Jarvis or Durendal had returned to the nearby area at all.
Meanwhile, Nakiya had taken to the skies and flew quickly towards her palace. It wouldn't do for the Kami to come too in her arms, it would be quite the strange scenario, and would no doubt make it much more difficult for the saiyaness to talk her way out of. She had no intentions of corrupting the young Kami while she slept... while it was possibly the safest plan, the young girl was vastly stronger than her, so there was no telling just how much of a hold the corruption would have on her, therefore it could cause more problems, than do good.
No, she had never forced the water on any of her allies, or on any of those she corrupted beyond Crowley. She wasn't about to start now, the water was something that the drinker had to be willing to take for her corruption to truly be effective. It was a balance of the water's magic, as well as mind games.
It didn't take the red headed demon very long to reach the palace, and as she landed at the front gates, she easily dismissed the guards around her. Of course, someone could have been impersonating her so they were reluctant. However as she tilted her head to show then the 6 pointed star on her neck, they would immediately obey and bow to their Queen as she walked by. She would quickly make her way up the many floors to the guest quarters where she would finally deposit Atsuko on the large four poster bed. The bed was sinfully soft, with red silken sheets now caressing the saiyan's tired body. No doubt the coolness of them a blessing against the many burns and bruises she had suffered during her fight.
Almost as soon as Nakiya had put Atsuko onto the bed, two of her attendants were already at the door, silently waiting for instructions from their master. Both of them were young looking girls (although as demon's, that was quite deceiving). One with long and beautiful blond hair, while the other's hair was a light chestnut brown. Both girls wearing what resembled Maid outfits.
"Master Devla, welcome home. Is there anytihng we can do for you, my Queen." The brunette would ask of her as both girls kept their heads bowed.
"Yes, in fact there is. I want you to ensure she remains comfortable. Please grab a blanket to keep her warm. As for you, as soon as she waked up I want you to come and get me immediately, you are to use my authority in doing so, I do not want to be delayed. And be courteous. She is my guest." Nakiya would say as she would glance back to the two hand maidens. She would give Atsuko one final look over before stepping back and stepping out of the room. She had a quick matter to attend to before she could take care of her business with the Kami, no doubt the girl would be out for a good while anyways.

The Sacred Sword didn't even breathe a word to the Android that was attempting to disturb her slumber; there was no one that would be able to budge it free, aside from Atsuko herself. And they wouldn't be able to keep the Albino Saiyan way from her for long... The two held a strong bond, a connection that couldn't be disrupted even by the most powerful in the universe. They could certainly try, but they wouldn't get very far at all... Indeed, the two were loyal to each other without end. Excalibur wasn't about to break it's vows to Atsuko, either.
For the Knight, however, things were going far better. The Saiyan had been brought to a bed that practically matched the comfort of the one she had grown used to on the Timeless Lookout. It was almost depressing to see her broken as far down as she was. The Albino Saiyan only stirred lightly as she heard the exchange of voices in the room, but it seemed that she would be resting for awhile longer. Nakiya had left the room, leaving the Knight with the two maids that had arrived in order to take care of her. About an hour would pass.
Finally, her eyes had slowly opened. But the Saiyan was still lying still on the bed, only partially taking in some of her surroundings. She'd slowly raise her arm, checking just how extensively injured it was... Just as she remembered it. Completely stripped of it's armor, and her clothes barely concealed her form at all. The Knight had a smile on her face, but... It was not one born out of happiness, nor anger. Observation clearly showed that it was one born out of sadness. "Ha... I ended up losing.", the Knight stated after a soft chuckle to herself.
Her arm dropped back onto the bed beneath her. Her thoughts immediately turned to what happened back on the battlefield, everyone looked at her with such despise... Her ideals had been trampled on time and again, she truly was an outcast. And all of the power she had amounted to nothing. So many people lost their lives because of her failures. How many people had turned on her now? Jarvis was one of them, he had completely given into a dark power, and changed into a mere shadow of his former self; if even that. There was the Saiyan Prince...
Nasu as well. What did Komatsu think about her? And everyone she had sworn to protect? She couldn't sense any of them. Atsuko felt utterly defeated for the first time in her life. Did Mother and Father think her a disappointment as well...? It didn't help her to try and think of the answers herself. Slowly, the Albino Saiyan would sit up and begin to look around the room she had been left in. "I expected a number of things to happen when I charged through the portal... I can't say that I expected a rescue.", the Saiyan commented softly.
It could have easily been an imprisonment cleverly disguised. It didn't really matter, even if Atsuko wanted to stage a breakout, she was simply far too exhausted and injured to properly do so... Most of all, Excalibur wasn't at her side. She could still fight without her companion, but she'd be going it alone. No, it was best to just play things out peacefully for the time being.... It suited the Knight just fine, she had grown so weary of fighting. An unexpected respite was one that she would accept with a huge relief in her heart, but it didn't help her mood much.
A single glance at her conscious state was enough to see the extent of the damage Nasu had done to her. Her pride and confidence were utterly shattered, people expected such great things out of the Guardian of Earth, and now she looked little more than a lost teenage girl that had gotten in over her own head. The two maids seemed rather friendly, at least. Her gaze settled onto them. It was so strange to consider that Demons were her closest allies anymore... She had been raised essentially from birth to fight them.
Slay them, and bring an end to a new Age of Demons. Now, they had saved her life, saw her through the darkest moments in her life... And the Saiyans proved to be her greatest enemy of all. "I may not be in the position to make requests... But I would like to speak with the one who helped me.", the Albino Saiyan spoke in a soft tone of voice. There was no trace of hostility. Far from it, in fact. She seemed entirely grateful for the assistance she had been given. Because of this, Nasu was denied seeing her at her weakest.
It was only a dim light within a dark cloud, however. Still, the Knight didn't like the thought of this being an 'ending'. So she had to hold onto the small bits of hope, wherever they came from. She was curious of just who it was that organized such a rescue in a tight predicament, as well. Hell... Having something to eat and drink would be nice, too. But she thought it would be rude to ask for that before speaking with her rescuer... Or, potentially, captor. Atsuko only had a vague idea of where she was, anyway.
Perhaps Makai, she recalled the Kais saying that was where the battle took place, she wasn't able to reach it back then. And perhaps in a lapse of judgement, she had thrown herself into a dangerous location with no support... The question on her mind was just why the Demon Monarch wanted to help her, though. And the conditions of her room certainly showed that it was a Demon of some power and nobility, in any case. Although from what the Saiyan could sense... There was no one particularly powerful here. Certainly not on the level of Nasu. That was fortunate.
[I'm going to leave Excalibur and Android 1 there for the time being ^.^]
The brown haired maid would be quietly rummaging about the room, tidying up as quietly as she could, but unable to help the little hums and mewls that would escape her lips as she worked. It was quite obvious that the girl enjoyed her work as she moved about the room, furry brown tail swaying behind her. It looked oddly similar to a saiyan's tail, but with much longer fur.
Meanwhile, the blond haired maid would walk back into the room, wheeling in a small lavish looking card with an assortment of strange looking fruits, a pitcher of water and a glass. She would set the tray nearby the door so that it would be ready for their guest as soon as she woke up. The blonde girl didn't make a sound as she moved, in fact she didn't seem to enjoy her job as much as her counter part, a constant shy expression on the young girls face as she removed a box that was on a lower shelf of the cart, bringing it over to the closet and hanging up the outfit for later use.
Whenever Atsuko finally woke up, the blonde maid would jump, startled as she moved, while the brown haired, cat like demon would meander over to the bed side, bowing politely to their guest before speaking.
"Nya~ We're so glad to see that you have awakened miss Kami! I hope you find the room to your liking." She would say as she would finally look up from her bow with a bright smile. From this close, Atsuko would be able to see the two tiny fangs that were just barely hidden by her upper lip. The girl would look over to the blond girl who would simply nod before slipping out of the room silently.
"The master has arranged for a cart of berries and water to be here when you awoke. Shall I fetch it for you~ Nya?" She asked of the blond haired saiyaness, whenever she was then asked if Atsuko could speak to the one who rescued her. The girl would nod politely as she waited by Atsuko's bedside for instruction on the food and water.
"Of course my lady, Lillith has already gone to fetch the master for you." She would say, her eyes seeming to sparkle with a strange sort of innocence for a demon. She had slowly crept closer to the blond haired girls beside, almost staring at the young girl on the bed in admiration. To her, Atsuko was very pretty! and she loved pretty things! She just wanted to stare at Atsuko all day, keep her close by so that she could just watch her!
While Atsuko would answer the brunette about the food, a good 20 minutes had passed, and the door would finally swing open, revealing the form of the Demon Queen in her base form.
Besides the bat like wings at her hips, and the thin demon like tail swaying behind her, Nakiya actually looked... normal to human standards. She had long red hair that went down to her butt, thin and a little pale, but overall rather pretty. It probably helped the fact that she was quite busty and had no problems showing that fact off. Her crimson eyes would fall on Atsuko, relieved to find her still resting in bed. Good, they didn't have to start this relationship with some sort of fight.
"I hope you have rested well, however short it might have been. Lillith, Mya, please wait outside." Nakiya would instruct the two hand maidens. Lillith would nod without another word, quickly disappearing from the room, though Mya would wine with a light purr to it, pouting slightly before slipping away from the pretty Kami on the bed, and slipping out of the room to wait with Lillith. The young demon's action wasn't missed by the demon Queen who would have growled under any normal circumstance. NOw however, she had a part to play, and returned her attention to Atsuko once more.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Lady Nakiya Devla, Queen of the Demon realm. I apologize for the strangeness of this situation." Nakiya would say rather politely to Atsuko. She would turn to the cart that had been brought in for the girl, pouring glasses of water for both of them if Atsuko hadn't taken one already.
It was strange... Meeting people that were so happy to meet with her, their appearances almost betrayed their true nature, if not for the fangs and the certain... Air within their very aura. Still, they hoped that she was finding the room to her liking. It was definitely a lot more than Atsuko expected to wake up in, so the Knight would answer truthfully... "It reminds me of home, if that makes any sense.", the Albino Saiyan stated. It was the closest thing she had to a home right now, anyway. She had come to believe she had no place with the Saiyans.
With her family, or even on Earth... How could she show her face after such a blatant failure? She was sworn to protect Earth, and everyone on it. And she failed in spectacular fashion at that. She just hoped that the others were doing okay, even if they hated her now... She cared about them. It was hard not to. Shortly after that, the maid then asked if the Albino Saiyan would like something to eat and drink, and she gave a nod in response. "I would appreciate that, yes. I didn't want to make too many assumptions with my requests."
She responded in a soft tone of voice. The girl was addressing her in such a formal fashion, it almost felt out of place to the Knight. What had she done recently to be deserving of such respect? Such... Acceptance, really... Even more than that, it appeared that the maid had some sort of crush on her. The Albino Saiyan felt it to be a little odd; she couldn't have looked very attractive at the moment, still covered in so many bruises, burns and her dried blood... She had recovered, but she didn't even get the chance to wash up.
Eventually her food and drink would be brought due to her answer, and the Saiyan would begin to quietly eat. If not for the fact that she had a tail, one could safely assume that she was in fact just a Human. Her personality, the very way she carried herself, and even her appetite all betrayed what she truly was. Just being treated to something as simple as water and berries... It was a huge relief after all the hell that Nasu put her through. She still felt such hatred for him, and his selfish desires.
...But, it wouldn't do her any good to get mad now. The Knight would let out a small sigh as she waits patiently for the master of this estate to arrive. Truth be told, Atsuko had no idea of what to expect. The curiosity was getting to her. Although finally, the door would open and a red haired woman would step inside with an almost seductive sway... She was a very attractive woman, and Atsuko had little shame in admitting that. It made her feel a little shy, actually. Knowing that she looked as awful as she did, if only because of the hellish battle she had been in.
Nakiya certainly didn't look the part of a Demon, the only thing affirming her nature being those wings and the tail. And of course... The distinctive traits of a Demon's aura. The red haired woman would begin by saying she hoped that Atsuko rested well, as short as it seemed. The Knight would give another calm nod in response. "I did. And it seems I have you to thank for that.", the Albino Saiyan would reply. The maids were instructed to leave them in privacy, the Saiyan arched a brow at that.
But perhaps she had her reasons. In any case, Nakiya was also proving to be quite polite, as she properly introduced herself. The Albino Saiyan's small smile had become a little more noticeable. "Well, it's nice to meet you! I'm Kami Atsuko Inoue, the current Guardian of Earth... The Saiyans have taken to calling me by 'Kimiko'. Though...", the Saiyan lowered her gaze slightly. "I don't exactly approve of them, or their name for me.", the Knight said, a little more grim than she had otherwise been coming off within their meeting. But she quickly shook that off, and her gaze returned to the red haired woman.
"I apologize for the fact that I hardly look appropriate at the moment. Although, considering you saved me from that battle... I don't really need to explain why that is.", the Saiyan continued. It was so weird... Her own family treated her like garbage, her own race looked down upon her with disdain. But the people she had spent an entire lifetime being raised to hate... They were giving her so much more. The Knight couldn't help but feel properly welcomed into their fold at this rate. She didn't really fancy lowering her guard, but...
What use was there in resisting anyway? Until she could properly call upon her powers, she may as well have been as helpless as any number of the servants currently within this estate. "I do hope that I don't offend, but... Why is it that you've helped me? I was under the impression that we were natural enemies.", the Knight then commented. There was a lot she wanted to learn about this Demon Queen. She didn't seem that bad of a person at all, true, she could have been lying about it. But... Did the Albino Saiyan really want to risk ruining a friendship?
Just because of silly prejudice, at that... No, she wasn't going to view the Demons as inferior, or as wholly evil. She had seen enough proof to know that wasn't the case, but even more than that, that was exactly what the Saiyans would do. And she wanted to be the furthest thing from them. There were so many thoughts and emotions running wild through her, but she had composed herself well, even in her practically broken state. It helped that Nakiya just seemed so... Gentle. None of it made any sense to her.
Atsuko thanked her, in a way, for saving her from that duel with Nasu, and the Demon Queen would simply nod before taking a sip of the water she had poured. She hadn't realized just how thirsty she had been after that whirlwind of a day... she hadn't really stopped to eat or drink anything herself until this glass of water. No doubt all of this would feel strange to the blonde saiyaness, as everything in the demon realm had an inherently evil sense to it.
"Well now, miss Inoue, it's truly a pleasure to meet you in person. You hardly need to apologize for a thing, it's quite understandable. I've had my own dealings with the little Overseer, and can't say I would have fared nearly as well as you have. It was a true spectacle to behold. You fight well." Nakiya would say with a light smile gracing her lips as she moved to the edge of the large bed. She would wrap the bat like wings around her stomach as she sat down, making it look as if it was part of her outfit. She would take another sit of the water and sigh lightly as Atsuko then asked her why she helped her at all.
"It's quite a long story, and I admit a selfish one if you truly want to hear it. However I imagine you are still quite fatigued after that battle. Perhaps you would prefer to relax and take a bath first? You don't have to worry, there won't be anyone jumping out at you at any given moment~ Real demons are far different than the stories the earthlings tell their children." Nakiya would say with a light chuckle as she looked up into the saiyaness' eyes... she truly did look like a Super Saiyan at her base form... and being so close to her... to a natural being of such near perfection excited her. Oh how perfect it would be if she could just get the tiniest bit of her Super Saiyan DNA for her experiments...
'All in due time...' Nakiya had to remind herself, silently scolding her own excitement. She would clear her throat, turning a little more to be facing Atsuko.
"I'm unsure if you mean that humans and demons are natural enemies, or saiyans and demons... in either case... I think most of the living realm would consider us their enemy... even though they call on us the instant there is something they desire... Can you truly consider someone you have never met your enemy? Condemn an entire race of people because of stories, or the actions of a single entity?" She would then ask of the Kami, taking another sip of the water and finishing her glass.
There was something that was off about the water and the food she had consumed, but... It certainly didn't taste like poison; that much she could definitely confirm, as she had drank the Sacred Holy Water, which turned out to be one of the most poisonous substances on Earth, at least, as far as she knew. Still, Atsuko couldn't really bring herself to complain about it. Given the circumstances, she was lucky to be alive and in a place where her life wasn't constantly under peril. The evil she felt here was rather overwhelming, but... Was it truly that, or was she just unused to this atmosphere?
It seemed to be an entirely different plane of existence, after all. The Demon Queen then went on to say that it was understandable she looked as off as she did, and even went on to praise her fighting ability. The Knight would lower her gaze slightly again, her smile had returned to it's original, sad state. "Hardly... I was so close to his power, and I couldn't even touch him once. In the end, I couldn't become a 'True Saiyan'.", the Albino Saiyan responded, but her voice didn't hold anger or hostility even still.
It was more like she was stating a fact about her own weakness. The damage that her own brother had done practically spoke for itself, it wasn't just on the physical level. It affected her mentally, and it was highly likely that all of the stress of her duties didn't help that in the slightest. The Demon Queen would attempt to continue the conversation along, however. Atsuko wasn't sure if it was out of kindness, or merely for her own interests. Still, it was much better company than what she had been in, so the Albino Saiyan listened intently.
"Well, if it's a long story... I suppose I would prefer the chance to at least clean up first, and perhaps change into new clothes. I'm afraid this outfit as seen it's last day.", Atsuko commented, tugging lightly at the charred rags that scarcely covered her body. At first, she hadn't noticed that the red haired woman was observing her so closely, until her eyes had trailed over to the Demon Queen. Nakiya had a rather quick recovery, however, and would clear her throat before turning a little more to properly face her as she would then begin a response.
The Knight thought it over for a moment. It was true, that was probably a confusing concept for Nakiya to consider, whether or not she was referring to Humans and Demons, or Saiyans and Demons. "Well... I'm about the farthest thing from a Saiyan at this rate. So, I suppose Humans and Demons.", the Knight would respond, then listening to the rest of the Demon Queen's words... She had an excellent point there, everyone seemed so quick to condemn the Demons until they needed something from them. The red haired woman would then poise a question to the Albino Saiyan.
It was something tricky to answer, because... While she couldn't condemn the entirety of Demons at this rate, she was getting close to that point for the Saiyans, due to all the stories she heard, as well as Nasu. Still, Nakiya was being so pleasant to her, it was best to be honest about this entire thing. "I understand your point... And normally, I would even agree with it.", the Knight would begin her reply. "But I can condemn an entire race at this rate, certainly for the actions of a single entity... I'm beginning to learn that the Saiyans are my real enemy."
The Albino Saiyan stated. Still, the way she said it, it lacked a certain conviction behind it. Like she was just tired, and wanted the fighting to stop. But it also came off like she didn't have a choice in the matter. It was giving her a lot to think about, so the Saiyan would let out another quiet sigh. "Well, I think a bath is going to help me feel better. And it should let me sort everything out in my mind. Still, I feel a little rude cutting our conversation short like this."
The Knight would then state. Hell, Atsuko wasn't even certain if she could bring herself to walk at the moment. Even if she could, she definitely didn't know where to go. This was an entirely unknown place to her. Quite simply, she was completely at the mercy of Nakiya. And that would be readily apparent even when she had her full strength back. But it wasn't as if the Demon Queen was aiming to be her enemy, either. Far from it, it seemed more like she was trying to start an alliance of sorts. She couldn't deny that having another person to rely on would be nice...
"Seeing as how this is your home, and you've saved my life... It only feels right that I act accordingly. I'll admit that I'm not familiar with the culture of Demons, but you seem rather patient with me. If you truly don't mind, then... I suppose I'd then have to ask where I would be able to clean up.", the Knight continued. It was still odd to think that this was Makai... She envisioned so many different things for it. But it was a surprisingly peaceful place. Seeped in something that felt unsettling to her, sure.
But in her current state, it was hard to tell if that was actually the case, or just the after effects of that battle. She was also a bit concerned about something... "Oh, I almost forgot...", the Saiyan began. "Where is Excalibur? The sword I was wielding.", the Albino Saiyan inquired, explaining a little of what she meant by her question. She was pretty out of it, but was fairly certain that the Sacred Sword had made it through the portal and survived the attack alongside her. Though, one wouldn't think that with the blade being oddly absent now.
Atsuko just hoped that the Demon Queen wouldn't take it the wrong way.
It took sometime but in some wake the energies that corrupted and twisted within this dark but perhaps not inherently evil realm as it was branded by all those taht did not understand or stood opposed to its sensation and creation. The Caesar King come into existence here yet again. His spear clung to in his grasp as his body felt heavy and pained from his battle. His injuries were only superficial but he was still bruised and ached. His eyes burned from the combined efforts of so many warriors. Although given so many of them were stupid ants that kept coming at him taking away his energies as he dispatched them he was left to tired and weakened to take on the two true challenges as easily as he'd have desired. He'd wait to see if Bernael would prove loyal or not to his word of loyalty. It would not matter in either case. If he accepted he'd take his ally back into the fold and allow him to rise like his other council did. Or if he refused he'd simply destroy the boy a bit at a time. He was sure his emissary in her still allotted time on earth could find... weak points to exploit.
Caesar was found Naked. Or perhaps Jarvis rather was and aided to regain his strength. His clothing taken back to body but his armor taken to be cleaned and repaired by a couple demon attendants. He looked rather bruised. He rubbed his head softly his forehead burned and his body ached. He'd seen Lilith was the attendant under his arm. His girl to keep his word in the demon realm when it was needed. An... as he was sure Nakiya did towards him in one way likely or another. Keep a eye out for secrets.
"My body aches wearily... The wish and plan worked but I ache badly now... I've never felt this way before my little friend. It seems the rush was so strong I made quite the mess back on earth. I suppose we'll deal with that in time. As long as we stand strong nothing will stand in our path." Caesar Jarvis spoke perhaps trying to convince himself more then her. It was no clear perhaps in all his words. He was tired and wanted to sleep and felt strange where he was. Without that new form of power being taken he was more calm. Perhaps down to his normal mind and new existence without the rush of the godly form he could now assume. Even though it was grand indeed he still needed time to get used to both the power and orgasmic rush of excitement he had within it. It was far to easy to give into chaos within it at the moment. Perhaps in time he'd gain a better hold over it as the Kai's before him did with their millennium of training. Being plunged head first into god hood after all would come with its few sets of hiccups.
[/img][/span][/div] The woman under his shoulder helped move him along taking him towards the android however rather then the place of rest he would have desired more. "My lord... Before I can help you to your room for now or perhaps to a bath to refresh your spirits. We should attend something the Queen wishes you to see... The Demon Queen herself is involved in some intricate business. You are required for something a little difficult for her lady to attend to alone." Lilith would say one arm under Jarvis's own. The other on his chest as she supported the weary King. There was little need to put on a powerful display this far behind enemy lines as he let in a way the theatrics fade. It was in these calm times when he was among what he felt like were safe environments he seemed to most reflect the man he was once before. If not perhaps to now though feel something more permanent in alteration. He was corrupted yes but not in sensation as similar to the water. IT was more natural then simply a cruel interjection upon his soul. Any who knew how the Kai's felt in energy would feel it emanating from him as if he were one of their own. In truth unnaturally he was.
His hand swiped a bottle from one of the rooms they passed. A brand he'd recognized made only in this realm from blackened fruit said to be enough to throw men and women into a blissful existence that could take weaker less tolerant souls into oblivion. But for one who'd mastered consumption of the strange mystical apples of intoxication to ingest them as if they were candy Jarvis's ability to withstand it and now with his godly status almost any drug as well as perhaps poison and disease too. He was not fearful. He'd indulged in this rarely in times past anyway for what few were sent as gifts or in trade from the realm anyway. Perhaps though drinking this one a bit more greedily as the corked popped from a flick of his thumb and he began to down the bottle. Letting the sensation warm his body and ease his aching joints. "I figured she'd have something... She wouldn't have asked me to leave when I did if something important wasn't a foot. Shame too I was close to getting to witness a rather fun game with the little demon lad. Pity... its always when the fun starts to really brew that we are called away. Those fools that took my armor and the corpses won't ruin it will they? The smiths here are good the one that took it? An the attendants won't boil the bodies too badly will they? I want the bones intact and still usable." Speaking of the other attendants he'd ordered even if he himself wasn't the monarch here. To have bodies boiled and the bones collected as his trophies. For armor weapons and of course more chalices formed from the skulls. Worthy foes deserved worthy trophies.
"It will be done well master. You forget after all that armor and many other sets you have in your treasury came from this realm. It only stands to make sense in that regard the smiths here would do a better job at this particular repair then even those on Blehbarry. As for the bones.. Teehee do you jest? This is the realm of demons. I'm sure boiling flesh from victims bones is something they can manage sire." She'd say giggling. Her own charms what let her remain as well from the King's temper often. From the way she moved, spoke, and touched. Even as she supported she made it appear he was still the strong one when leaning on her for now. His body was healing well as it was only superficial wounds and before long in a short time he'd be back to himself. He just needed a half hour or so of rest perhaps longer to get himself back to full. His chest under his shirt was bandaged as well. His wounds wouldn't take much time he just needed to give it its due. Saiyan genetics combined with his new Shinjin genes made for a truly miraculously quick healing body.
"I suppose... Damn this palace... Why does demon architecture need to spread in so many halls and variant passages? I can understand the mysteriousness and fearsome displays when your scaring people but as your own home its just confusing..." Talking to talk really at this point the girl just listening and humming lightly helping her lord along as she walked still with a peaceful grace in her crimson dress as she supported him. Finally after some time and half a bottle down they'd find themselves in the company of one of Nakiya's androids. Jarvis lifting from his allies side and forcing himself to stand strong again for image more then anything. The sword stuck in the ground he was quick to recognize.... Pushing out with his senses to feel something else that went hand in hand with it he'd let slip by his senses up until now. Chuckling as he shook his head slowly. "You play with fire demon queen... This is how kingdoms burn." Of course Nakiya wasn't around only the droid and other possible servants as well as Jarvis now and his Lilith at his side. He'd walk over to the blade knowing it well and vaguely remember its... quirks. Kneeling to get a angle then sitting on the cold ground next to it. Taking in several more gulps of the ancient demonic alcohol. Something only the strongest, corrupted most, or ancient good or evil could bare to drink. It was unlikely anyone could at this point stand toe to toe with Caesar drink to drink. But... he was curious if 'she' could. Lilith looking a little puzzled and Jarvis didn't even try to address to the android. "Interesting... So if my senses don't like to me the guardian lives but yet here lays her near twin. I mean you think her sister looks similar you should see the hips on this one." He didn't know if the sword could hear him. He hoped it could as at this point he looked... weary. Strong but that tired weight in his eyes resembled that of many past Kings and Kai's This path was quick to age a man... Thankful was he for his new found youth. It would be a very... very... very... long time before he had to worry about age. A long time to consider researching for those orbs as well.
He'd drink from the bottle and sat it down between them. Some of him wishing it was that stupid boy here drinking with him. The other one two... Somewhere in his new mind he imagined the eyes of defeat but joy to a friend drinking along side him. Next to him as well that little prat of a warrior trying to drink one armed and perhaps even boasting he could drink stronger then the King. Wild fantasies that took a troubled mind. But when he set the bottle down on the ground it was between he and the sword. "This is new to me given the situation... But I hold power here that only the demonic queen can override in her own lands. You and I both know what I'm capable of and you know you don't want me to get creative if I get angry." He'd hold his hand up as if saying in his own higher power of a way to be silent if the droid or his own minion tried to speak up while he was talking to the blade. If the demon attendants refused and still spoke he'd consider blasting them for daring to interrupt and not obey. This was a moment he was curious to see if he could play a little game.
"I can feel something strange from you... You are in there... It was feint but I felt this once before when Durendal poked into your mind and perhaps you briefly into it's own. Why not show your form and sit with me as a equal and drink? Tell me what happened for what I was not privy too in that great battle of might's. It was with the alliance boy was't it? What happened and what led you here? Tell me a story Excalibur... If you do maybe we can keep this clean. If you do maybe I'll even consider putting question into what happened to your wielder. After all... I'm not enough of a full to believe you were left here willingly." A sound of glass grinding on stone heard lightly as the bottle was slid closer to the sword. Two very unnatural souls of strange origins stood apart now. Perhaps just as Durendal did King Jarvis Caesar himself was curious if it was similar here as well. His mood at moment somber and quaint. Far from bloody and deadly as it was in other wars and confrontations. If there was anytime to speak and perhaps actually get a chance to talk some of this out before nasty tricks might be needed from demons. This was the blades chance to answer the call of the King. In some sense after all his Emissary was still on the lookout after all. Perhaps in his own twisted of seeing it still helping a little alliance now befuddled with problems with his other more important alliance with the demon world.
<<'Fetch more of the liquor and some proper food for me... I'm Famished... I'd like to feel refreshed while I possibly converse with a true work of masterful art.>> He'd say sending his mental thoughts twisting into the androids mind not his Lilith. A way of perhaps making sure people knew who was the dominant one in this realm.

As Atsuko began to speak of her fight with the little Overseer, speaking of how their powers were so closely matched and yet she was unable to defeat him... Nakiya could only smile faintly at that. She knew well of Nasu's skills, he was a well trained warrior and would be hard for even the powers of old to content with. However, when Atsuko stated that she wasn't a true saiyan, Nakiya shook her head in disagreement.
"Maybe not, but you are the closest thing to a perfect saiyan I've ever seen. Far more perfect than even the Overseer could ever hope to be." She would say in a kind tone towards the saiyaness as she would push herself off of the bed, replacing her cup onto the tray that was still sitting by the door. With that she would turn to the closet, where Lillith had placed the box that had been brought in and pulled it back out. It contained clothing that the demoness had chosen for the Guardian to wear if she chose to forego any new armor. She left the box closed for now, only having it readily in hand to take with them to the bath.
"Well... Saiyan's have always been a strange bunch. Once you've met one, you've basically met them all. They are all quite similar to one another so I suppose in their case... yes you could condemn their entire races for the actions of one. I would have myself if one of my closest friends wasn't a saiyan. Ah but that's besides the point. There are so many different kinds of demons in Makai... perhaps the longer you stay, you will be able to get more acquainted. Some of us are rotten to the core, as is expected of any race, but other's are not quite so bad." She would say as she walked over to the door of the room, opening it and handing the box off to Mya who was waiting obediently to the right of the exit.
"Take this to the bath would you, Mya? and please make sure it's ready for us when we arrive." She would instruct the cat like girl who answered with a quick "Nya!" before heading off towards the bath. Turning back to Atsuko once more, Nakiya made her way to her side once more, offering the blonde saiyaness her hand to aid her in getting out of the bed.
"If you allow me I can escort you to the bath and even join you to make sure you don't drown in your fatigue. It is quite the large bath so it's not as if we will confined too closely." Nakiya would offer to Atsuko, waiting for her hand before helping her up out of bed. She would act as her crutch if it was needed, as Nakiya couldn't expect her to truly be recovered after just such a short rest. She would have her Lilly fetch one of the healing capsules, along with the water she was so eager to use on her new toy.
"As for your sword. It's exactly where you left it. Stuck in the grounds outside. I've sent one of my attendants to retreive it when we picked you up, but she has yet to return." She would inform her.
Meanwhile, Android 1 sat patiently by Excalibur with a look of intrigue on her face. The sword was something she would expect to find down in the master's treasury, not something in the hands of some Earthling Guardian... It was strange how such a thing came to be in her possession. All in all, Android 1 was still unable to move it, and the girl didn't want to fail her master... so she found herself in quite the predicament...
That was when Caesar Jarvis showed up, finally. He was leaning against on of the Demon's he had taken under his wing, obviously weakened by his own battle, and yet still trying to maintain some form of strong front as he spoke TO the sword. This caused the android to raise one of her eyebrows as she looked back to Excalibur momentarily. Was the sword sentient? A being such as she and Durendal? Oh it would be quite interesting if she was... she would love to talk to another like themselves. About what... she wasn't sure but it would be interesting none the less.
She would remain quiet as Caesar spoke, waiting to see what he had to say, or to ask of her before she would finally open her mouth to speak.
"Lord Jarvis, forgive me if I seem rude but I take only orders from the Queen. Her current orders are to remove this sword from it's perch and therefore, I am afraid I must remain here until my task is complete. However, it is within my power to have one of the hand maiden's bring you what you desire. Shall I send out the order?" Android 1 would state calmly, her tone was a little snooty, as she felt she didn't have to listen to the blue haired man at all due to whom her master was... She would bring her arm forward, looking down to her forearm which opened up and shifted to reveal a small screen. Android 1 would begin pushing buttons on the screen, accompanying her order with a telepathic message to one of the hand maidens so that food and drink could be fetched for the tired king.

Nakiya went on to say that Atsuko was the closest thing to a "Perfect Saiyan", even more than the Overseer... It was just something that seemed so odd to the Albino Saiyan. In what way was she perfect? No matter how much she tried to wrap her mind around the concept, she simply arrived to the conclusion that Nasu excelled over in damn near every field. Save for 'mercy and compassion', which, according to Saiyans, were nothing but weaknesses. It was about then that one of the servants arrived with a box, it didn't seem to be the largest one.
Still, the Knight didn't know what was inside of it, and the Demon Queen seemed to prefer leaving it closed for now. "I suppose I don't quite understand what you mean... I've heard a lot of speeches about what a Saiyan should be, that I'm beginning to believe I wasn't born as one... If not for the fact that I had a tail showing as proof of it.", the Saiyan pointed out. Her silver furred tail lightly coiling around her waist as she spoke of it. Everything about her was abnormal by Saiyan standards... Even right down to her very appearance.
Even her tail was unlike every other Saiyan. The red haired woman would then stand up from the bed and make her way over to the door, handing off the unopened box to one of the Maids, all the while, she was speaking on the subject of races, and whether or not condemning them for the actions of a single being was justified; even Nakiya had to agree that many of the Saiyans were alike, and that was perhaps the one exception to the rule. Atsuko definitely couldn't disagree with there being many varieties within a race, coming from all walks of life.
That was especially the case on Earth, was it really so unreal for Demons as well? If they were good and peaceful, then they probably kept to themselves, mostly staying out of everyone's way, and probably never venturing into the Mortal Realms, either. It was something strange to consider, but the more she thought it over, it definitely wasn't implausible. "You raise a very good point... I suppose I just find a sense of irony in it. I was sent by Saiyans to Earth in order to be raised as the successor to the Guardian of Earth."
The Knight began. "So I became nothing like my race... I was raised as a Human, and in my particular home, I was raised believing that Demons were my true enemy. To such an extent that one day I would bring about an end to a new Age of Demons.... Instead, I've met many that have proven to be my greatest allies, and the Saiyans proving to be my greatest enemies.", the Albino Saiyan added. About then, Nakiya had returned to the bedside and offered a hand to help Atsuko up... Along with offering to escort her to the bath, and even accompany her in it.
The Albino Saiyan blushed at the thought. She had just met the Demon Queen, and she seemed... Quite eager to get into the bath with the Knight. "Um... If you really want to... Though I feel it might be a little unpleasant, given how much I'll need to wash off.", the Saiyan stated, but accepted the hand that the red haired woman was offering. Atsuko's body still felt weak after all the strain it had been put through, but it almost surprised her just how well she could move. Being placed in a proper bed...
Given food and water, on top of her almost abnormal recovery rate, it added up. She wouldn't be able to fight anywhere near her full potential, but actions like walking around and the like, that wouldn't be too hard as long as she paced herself.... Hell, she could probably undo most of the damage right now if she still had Excalibur and Avalon with her, though Nakiya did finally comment on what happened to the sword. Apparently it was left right where she had last placed it. "Ah... She's probably on alert at the moment, I'll go retrieve Excalibur after the bath."
The Knight stated, perhaps being an outright confirmation of the Sacred Sword being sentient, if Nakiya didn't already know this. There was something that didn't escape Atsuko's notice, however... She sensed a very familiar power level, one that was quite large in comparison to the Demons here. Jarvis. By her estimations, he was about as strong as her Super Saiyan form, maybe a tad weaker. But that couldn't have been his full power, she sensed something greater back on Earth. And the similarities between the two were unmistakable. It had to be him. The Knight tensed up a little.
In practically an instant, her body language and her expression changed. Almost as if she was expecting a fight at any moment. Despite this, she didn't try powering up yet... If she tried, it would be like a ticking time bomb. Her body would slowly give in and she'd fall unconscious once more. No, she needed to rest a bit more... But knowing that he was here, was that really an option? She didn't make her concerns vocal to Nakiya, but the change in atmosphere was nearly unmistakable even without her breathing a word to the red haired woman.
At first, it felt entirely peaceful. If a bit depressed... But now, it was like a fire had reignited. The look in Atsuko's eyes practically spoke for themselves. "I... Guess I feel a little more out of it than I thought.", the Knight stated, hoping to disguise it a little. The truth of the matter was, Nakiya did still help her. Even if she was allied to Jarvis, that didn't override the kindness Atsuko had been given. Still, she couldn't help but wonder silently what the Demon Queen really had in mind now... Maybe it would be time to gauge that from this point on.
If there was someone that was more angry than Atsuko... It would be Excalibur. The golden sword seemed to be unresponsive even to Jarvis. But his words didn't fall on deaf ears, oh no. Make no mistake about that. The blade would fill with a brilliant light, and then in front of it would appear the being within the sword itself. And she looked none too pleased about the current predicament, and her gaze fell squarely on Jarvis. The glare in her eyes saying everything without having to say anything at all. She viewed him as an enemy.
[PL: 433,283 base. Currently in Super Saiyan 2 Full Power: 13,865,056.] [Scaled entirely off of Atsuko's strength. Fluffed, but can fight if everyone's alright with it]
The sheer surge of power in her arrival was highly notable as well. "Was an insignificant bug such as you really trying to threaten me?", the woman in red spoke in a cold tone of voice. "I'll warn you to stay that tongue, lest I cut it out for you and save you the trouble it brings you.", the Sacred Sword would waste little time in adding onto her point. The red greatsword suddenly appearing in her right hand, pointing the tip of it towards Jarvis as she continued to stare him down. This... Fool.
He was really trying to play it off that they were still allied. "...You killed one of my students. He was a student to Atsuko as well. You took several lives back on Earth, in fact... You become involved in a fight with those defending Earth, playing it all to your advantage. I know your true colors, and I know well what you can do... You aren't a threat to me, no matter how much your mind likes to play with the idea of being one. And your little agents, I should send them back to your planet in the tiniest fragments I can cut them into."
Excalibur's each word was spoken with vehemence for Jarvis. "You are not my ally. I will make no bargains with you, and you shall make none with me. I move for no one.", the woman in red finished. She held her greatsword with ease, and her body was perfectly motionless; she didn't even need to breathe. This wasn't her true form, after all. But she could use her power as long as Atsuko wasn't fighting... Theirs was a shared power, after all. Even if she somehow lost the ability to fight, due to Atsuko needing to defend herself...
That didn't matter, none of them could harm her true form. "As for what happened... I see no reason to share that with you. I will caution you however. Don't come back to Earth. Your power is infantile compared to mine, as well as my Wielder's. And if you're smart, you won't try to use your spies to strike at her weaknesses... Not unless you feel you can stop either of us from responding in kind.", Excalibur then gave a final warning. This... Shadow of a man would be given no kindness from the Sacred Sword.
At first he just sorta stared blankly then. After a moment of a blank stares that shown briefly a crimson spark in his aqua eyes faded as the serious features snapped away as if blow away by the wind itself the girl spewed from her lips. He laughed out and placed a hand on his chest taking several moments it seemed until it finally quelled itself inside. An the laughter pattered out as he finished his expelling of the powerful belly laugh. "But if you really remain so still and unmoved? Then doesn't merely a few feet to any side if I move to where I'm sitting could beat you? Or is my provocation all you need to be moved and this a act? I'm really curious know! How far can you reach pumpkin? I mean its a strong boast to remain unmoved and live up to your little boasts!" treating it like a game for the moment. Laughing at the idea of her acting on her threats but also apparently unmoving for any soul. More the literalness to the side of her words rather the metaphorical or more emotional meaning.
"An you get to worked up over a few dead souls. I didn't kill a single soul that didn't throw their attacks at my form first. Your little friend with the spiky black hair decided to go smacking away at my side while I tried to converse with that Miso and Bernael! To be honest I don't even fully know how I got to that battle. Although I feel some of these powers I'm starting to understand now... Which was your student? The one that hit at my side annoyingly while I tried to face a real threat? Until I swiped him into pieces since he so clearly wanted to battle? OR the other two that came in after and blasted me from the sky without so much of a word as well? Or the little alliance boy who did the exact same thing before I sliced his arm from his body. Don't try and act as if this was all some moment of heroes and demons. They chose to strike at me so I simply struck back... I will admit though perhaps with the force I used I was... Heheh. Lets say eccentric. In truth maybe if they'd just let me talk to Bernael and thank him for bringing me the remaining dragon ballz I'd have chosen to go. Just like with rebels girl if someone attacks a King they should always be ready for the consequences.... Maybe you should have taught them when to strike and when to bide their time. To know when to pick fights instead of simply throwing themselves into the grinder so willingly. If they had kept their mouths shut I could have tested this power on that pitiful alliance saiyan couple and the warrior saiyan boy they had with them! I'd have much rather seen the blood of alliance spilled anyway... But oh well... The games over now anyway." He'd say drinking a bit of his wine. Yanking at the bottle he'd laid between them.
"Its strange... I wonder how long it will take Bernael to arrive... He knelt for me to spare Komatsu. Pledged loyalty but I'm curious to see if it comes through or not. I guess we'll see if he plays his part or not. Heh... But then again he had me open and didn't strike. So maybe that's a good sign right? Or I suppose Emi can always have some nice conversation with him. She's getting along well with some others I've heard?" Giving subtle hints of his games he already had playing. So many players that even if she wanted him to just stop and end it all at this point it would never end easily. Nor without pain to many people. Possibly both physically and emotionally. "Ooooooh! Is that a threat or a promise? Heheh! You and I both know know hell nor the endless illusion of time can truly even stop me. What is all this except a game? If you do anything to my people all I have to do is keep trying or wait a looooong time until the years weigh on your people and deliver a surprise judgement down on them. What happened on earth was more my personal act anyway. Just stretching my legs really... After all its not like up until the end of the fight there if it wasn't for their surprises I'd even really have had to exert myself." He'd say his eyes casually looking over her. Her dress and features curiously as his eyes drifted from crimson to aqua as he slowly was losing himself into this existence. The mixture of fate, the water, and his wish derived from his grown greed from his prior corruption putting him in a state now not even the heavens could fix.
"You know as well as I do if I actually wanted to hurt earth with all my forces and did my best to do it... Even if you may hold the upper hand for now you can't be a fool enough to believe it'd survive unscathed. No... You aren't that foolish. An even if you tried to come after me how many soldiers would you have to slaughter before you actually 'struck down the evil'. Hahaha. My people love me. My kingdom loves me... More on that one they know when to not shoot their mouth off and die for nothing as well. The way I see it if you'd taught them better they'd not have died. You getting what I'm saying Kitten?" He'd say some of his mind agitated some of it finding it all comical. He'd too far from his home and his wife for too long. This new power as well wasn't something that could be simply suppressed like the demonic water for a time. Instead if was just his natural power and being coated with the water. He was just naturally like this now.
Around this time as a little showing of energy he'd draw in a breath still not moving from where he'd been sitting. And focus his power again as he did that night before. During the battle that came after his awakening. But for the moment rather then summon on a moment of excitement he took a few moments to keep himself less excited and calm as his energy flowed through his body. His normal clothes faded away for a moment and in the light seemed to take on a more godly or apparel of the Kai's the energy he was using felt natural as if he wasn't manipulating the is for a facade. Just naturally awakening a little more of his energy to show his own power and just how fast he was growing in power. It was true he wasn't at their level. An he would need much time too truly catch up to her power. But he wanted her to know that a true battle or worse a war with him would mean true death and plague for both their empires. It would not be... clean. His hair as well igniting with a bit of his combined genetics. Some lightning like aura appearing around his body before finally calming. He would appear as if a Kai like god sitting before her in apparel and form. But his hair spiked and golden and the clear sensation of a super saiyan two perhaps in style. But calm and settled as if it were the mastered state of a super saiyan one wearing it naturally for the moment.
His hair a bright gold and vibrant his body with the marks of dark power but it was for more natural now as if the corrupted water was hardly even in control anymore. His clothing and armor adorned like that of a Kai and his crimson as the blood waters in hell. He had arisen and was only growing faster with each day. A unnatural god and he knew it. He had no fear of death only anger when it came near. Even when the guardian and her blade came to free him with the brother that died of hers. They found he discovered a escape when he was just a man without any divine intervention. He was gifted with power and divine energy. He was generated with demonic powers that perhaps even know the demon queen couldn't control within him. He had a force under him and had tasted victory against several warriors now. He was a threat if he desired to be. A god who didn't fear death and felt he could escape it if needed. An yet remained so calm and smirking when he looked up at her he didn't seem to show even a hint that any of this was anything but just a fun little drinking session. "Its too bad you really you won't drink with me. You know given the alliance if I wanted I could even destroy that android that so silly thinks she can disobey me. A few steps behind me at that... How brave she is! I wonder if she herself thinks on the fact as if I give her a order and she refuses it... which of us is more valuable and would be seen as the wrong dooer in her queens eyes.. My my I'm still famished... But anyway. I sit before you even show you a more... focused form of the energy I had on earth. An you get so angry? Whats a few cracked eggs to make a good omelette? Bernael understands the need for alliance and comrades and something tells me that water girly will as well... So why don't you just sit and drink as well.... Admit it. You're lost here. Your best chance of getting back to your master is if I take you to her. Its not like anyone in this kingdom would dare fucking stop me. I mean if it wasn't for me wiping out half the demon army I doubt we'd even have a demon queen right now. So why not just shut up... sit... drink... and tell me the fucking story I want to here! Then we can consider getting you back to Atsu-" His eyes blinking as if something ached in his head rubbing his forehead briefly with the palm of his hand then downing several gulps from the demonic alcohol that might as well have been poison. Most couldn't even survive consuming it yet at this point he'd drank at least half the bottle. He seemed to favor this type of alcohol that seemed to find its way to him often. On the lookout as well he'd drank a bottle of it he'd brought with him as well as when he ate those cursed apples. If anyone could feel it as part of the demon queens past plans that used to hold him before he was also a might god. The sensation of corruption was in the wine Caesar Jarvis often drank. The connection that changed him and set him on this path. His mass consumption what led him to this now nonreturnable road.
He rubbed his head as if it pained him lightly. Perhaps some of him and he didn't seem to realize it if it was. Remembering a bit of what once was. He was a god now and something that could scare even Kai's. But he wasn't born like that like them or like any other fallen gods in the past. He was not per say buried inside this new Caesar. But part of it... "Gaurdian... The Gaurdian. Unless the demon queen does it herself I'm your only real chance. Unless you want to be trapped for the next lord knows however long sitting on your pompous ass playing high and mighty and thou shall not moveth for no man routine. Swallow your pride and the wine and tell me what I want to fucking hear!" It seemed anytime those little aches set in it just infuriated him. He didn't like being confused nor did he like feeling questioned.
Lilith wasn't far behind gulping and watching on carefully. Looking to the android she'd known for awhile since she'd been stationed her. Wondering with that casual look in her eye as she tried to talk without actually saying anything. Implying that now was the time to get what the Caesar requested or hurry that maid along she intended to send. Looking back and briefly to the sword as the woman would speak calmly and in a servants like whisper. "Perhaps she'd like something other then such a strong vintage to drink? If we fetch your meal my lord it might be prompt as well to know what our... 'guest' would like as well?" Trying to defuse the situation.
Caesar just starting up at Excalibur not opposing nor seeming to endorse the idea. His eyes struggling between a calm and furious sensation running through his body. So much of him wanted to sleep... fight... destroy... fuck. His desires burned within him but slowly the thing whatever it was that ached his head seemed to settle. As he seemed to slowly be calming once again. Returning more to the smirking boy he was when he first entered.

Whenever Atsuko took Nakiya's hand, the red head would gently ease the saiyaness up to her feet, carefully watching her as she gained her balance. While she didn't have that much time to recover, it seemed her progress was doing good at least. She thought prhaps she might need to carry the saiyaness to the baths but Atsuko was holding herself up quite well. She would keep her hand on Atsuko's, using it to help the girl walk towards the door. She would answer her statements as they moved, even if it was at a slower pace.
"In regards as to why I am claiming that you are far more perfect than they... Well, perhaps it is because you are so different from them, from your looks to your overall demeanor. Perhaps it is because you were raised on earth that you don't act like them... but I think you were born as so much more. Truth be told, it's like you are a super saiyan in your base form... hmm other then that it's kind of hard to explain my meaning..." Nakiya would say as she would ponder how to put her thoughts into words, without revealing everything right away. She wanted to get Atsuko comfortable and relaxed in the bath, before she went into too much detail... she wanted to make sure that the corrupted water had a firm hold on her, before revealing anything about her research, and how she needed Atsuko to complete it.
"As I said, most saiyans are the same, identical copies of one another and never truly progressing farther than their pride allows... truthfully I find the current saiyans a waste of potential... no matter how strong they are able to get... however, as to your comment about demons, I hope that our encounter can change some of those views on us. We are an entirely different culture than any of those in the living realm. We have out own rules, and our own way of living, so it's truly no wonder that those that have come in contact with us, fear us. We're part of the unknown, and it's to my knowledge that most people fear the unknown." She would take her time explaining. The baths weren't all that far away from the room she had assigned Atsuko... at least not the indoor ones. And so that was where she was taking her. Just a few hallways down and through two large double doors. Nakiya would quide her inside, letting the saiyaness step in first as she held the large door open. When Nakiya said the bath was large, she definitely wasn't joking around! The room itself was massive, and the bath was easily the size of a swimming pool. Everything here was also lavishly decorated with gold and stone, multiple different scents rising up from the warm waters that had just been cleaned moments ago. Everything was open, from the changing area, to the showers and the bath itself. No matter where you went in this room, there didn't seem to be any places to hide... unless you were small enough to fit behind some of the little draconic statues.
"Honestly, I hardly mind how dirty you may be. We'll get you rinsed off first, and then let you soak for a while so you can relax. There are baskets just over here to keep your clothes in, and towels just above them." Nakiya would instruct, pointing Atsuko to where she could go to get out of her clothes, though Nakiya headed that way anyways, as she had said she would be joining girl. It was becoming very difficult for Nakiya to contain her anxiety at this point, especially as Atsuko's own look seemed to change the instant they both felt Jarvis appear in the Demon Realm. It could be a good thing for her to get the girl riled up and ready to face him... if she accepted the water, then she could easily use her hatred for the saiyans, and for Jarvis, to have the water grip at her very soul. Mmmm how delicious it would be to have the Kami under her spell~
However, when Atsuko referred to Excalibur as a she, Nakiya would tilt her head curiously as she reached around herself to begin removing her own clothing.
"She? So your sword is sentient? That's quite fascinating... I've actually created a few similar weapons myself... so it would definitely be interesting to be able to speak with her... perhaps it could improve my work on Androids 1 and 2" She would muse, revealing a bit more information than she had intended, however, she didn't see the harm in the girl knowing about the Android pistols. Had she mentioned Durendal however, then that might have been a different story...
----------------
Speaking of Android 1, the girl found herself fascinated by the appearance of the blonde haired girl that projected herself from the sword. She looked at her in awe as she silently sent out her orders to the maids. So this was Excalibur's true form? As a sentient sword it was no wonder it was too difficult for her to move...
"Wow.." She would simply mumble as she pushed herself to her feet. As impressed as she was, clearly Excalibur was upset, and Caesar just as upset if not moreso. And so she stepped back to let the two speak, glancing to Lillith as she was spoken too and nodding gently.
"she's already on her way" She muttered back to the demon attendant. It seemed just then, that a male demonic attendant, with two thick goat like horns to the side of his head appeared. He was finely dressed in a black suit and tie, very much resembling that of a butlers. He seemed to literally just materialize out of no where with his cart of food and drink. A bottle of the ale requested by the Caesar clearly visible, while other brands of drink were also visible among the various foods he had brought with him.
"Forgive my tardiness my lord. Here are the items that you have requested. May I be of any more service to you?" The dark haired man would ask politely.
The Albino Saiyan cooperated with the red haired woman. Thankfully, they were keeping to a relatively slow pace, so it let the Knight adjust to using her body again. She still ached in several places... But that would be changing soon enough as long as she didn't get into another fight, or jump right into pushing herself too far with training. Still, she would listen intently to Nakiya's words, she seemed rather keen on Atsuko because she was so unlike the other Saiyans. And her appearance within her base form highly resembled that of a Super Saiyan... The Knight supposed she could see the comparison.
Though, her hair didn't glow, and her eyes didn't either. Her eyecolor changed as well, even if it was a more slight change than one usually expected. The biggest change however, was the increase in power. No matter how strong she was with her base strength, it was completely overshadowed by her Super Saiyan form. Even those that transform 'on the dot' for the very first time were far more capable than she was in raw strength. "In appearance only... And only somewhat.", the Saiyan would state, though notably she wasn't entirely disagreeing either. It was still an interesting point.
"The power of a Super Saiyan is... Difficult to match, to say the least. I've come far and I'm still not as strong as I was the very first time I ascended; without transforming once more, of course.", the Albino Saiyan added. So the Demon Queen was interested in those that were like Super Saiyans, and especially those that could become Super Saiyans... Well, unknowingly she had found quite the treasure trove, as Atsuko had mastered both of the forms, and was well onto her way to the third one at this rate. Though the Albino Saiyan didn't know that last part.
She could certainly feel just how much more powerful she had become, but the fatigue was holding her back. She'd need to get rid of that before she could do any real experimenting with it. The red haired woman would then give her own thoughts on the Saiyans, as well as a response to how Humanity viewed Demons. "You're definitely not wrong there... Every Saiyan I've met, save for those not raised as 'one of their own', has the exact same drivel being spewed out of their mouths. And they say I'm the one that's brainwashed."
The Knight mused with a slight smile; slowly, she was getting her fire and pride back. And she had Nakiya to thank for that. More importantly however, with her slowly climbing out of the rut that she was in, it fueled her hatred for Saiyans. Not many could blame her for that, at this point. "Well... Given how much you've helped me, I definitely see you as more of an ally than my own family can ever hope to be at this rate.", the Knight would then respond. Though she was only speaking partially on that subject.
There was one person she still trusted, Cambia... As frustrated as she sometimes got with her, the half demon was still her little sister, and quite possibly the only one she truly saw as her family at this rate. It just added onto the fire, though. Everyone that wasn't a 'True Saiyan' seemingly had a fifty/fifty chance of being a halfbreed, and then mixed into that was the possibility for Demon blood as well. The irony of the entire situation was not lost on her in the slightest. Still, Atsuko wasn't going to mention anything about Cambia. She had a baby to take care of.
The less people know about her, the better. Finally however, they would arrive in a very large bathroom. And a quick glance around revealed that there weren't many places to hide at all... Though, the Knight didn't doubt that some Demons were crafty, hell! People could suppress their energy. Still, Nakiya didn't seem the untrustworthy type so far, and while she was weakened, if she had to... She could fight off potential assailants. So there wasn't much need to be concerned about it for now. The Demon Queen would then point out the changing area.
As well as where one could retrieve towels. The Knight gives a nod. "Thank you, I'll go change now.", the Albino Saiyan stated calmly, and would then make her way over there. The Saiyan wasn't limping, though it was clear that she was still coping with her injuries. Mostly in just how they had the tendency to sting and ache when she moved the wrong way, or the rags covering her brushed against the sore spots. Atsuko was definitely ready for that bath at this rate... If only so the hot waters could sooth away all the pain she was dealing with.
Besides that, she wanted to be clean again, she felt rather disgusting covered in the muck and grime. So she'd remove the rags, as non existent as they already were. And of course she'd remove the underwear that had miraculously survived several high powered attacks... Atsuko would then take one of the towels and step out of the changing area. Honestly, this bath reminded her a lot of the one back at home. Although... She never really shared it with any other women, that was going to be a new experience. And Nakiya was a rather seductive one at that.
The Demon Queen then expressed some interest in meeting with and speaking to Excalibur. "For your safety, I'd recommend not speaking to her unless I'm present. I was able to sense her energy and... She's definitely not happy at the moment.... It feels like some else called upon power to match her, too.", the Knight pointed out. She definitely knew it was Jarvis, but she didn't want to reveal her entire hand yet. Atsuko would be able to learn more about Nakiya at this rate, whether or not she actually knew Jarvis. It was a bit of a long shot, but still worth it to try.
Excalibur would narrow her eyes at Jarvis as he began to let out a laugh. Before then going on to speak some nonsense about how he could move, and that would achieve a victory. The Sacred Sword would arch a brow at him. "Did you take a hit to your head back on Earth, or are you always this stupid?", the woman in red genuinely asked of the blue haired man. Excalibur would then step to the side, and gesture lightly to the golden sword still behind her. "I won't be moving from that very spot."
The Sacred Sword stated once more. "And for all of your power, you won't be able to do anything to change that... Not that I would let you touch my form to begin with. You're unfit to even behold me." she'd add as she then stepped back into her original position once more, and returned the tip of her greatsword to mere inches away from Jarvis's face. His words only proving to infuriate her more. "Spare me your petty justifications. It would have been easy for you to stop them without killing them. You didn't, and you broke the alliance."
The Sacred Sword added. When he spoke of training them better... She'd step forward and attempt to slash at his chest with considerable might. "Hold thy tongue, knave.", Excalibur stated in a cold tone of voice. "As for your threats against Earth and it's people... I'm going to remind you of the Human concept of Mutually Assured Destruction. Right now, you're locked in a cold war, you don't want to add fire into that.", the woman in red would warn him. Jarvis would then call up a considerable power, one that really was rather impressive...
But it didn't seem to phase Excalibur in the slightest, she was still standing defiant against him. "Ha... You're actually trying to claim you're innocent in this. That you were justified.", the Sacred Sword would then proceed to let out quite the hearty laugh. "Oh... That was good. I've heard it many times before, but it never stops getting old. Foul little beings like you always saying the most hilarious things...", the Sacred Sword then grinned. For the first time, she actually seemed rather malevolent. That was how she became in the face of a true evil that she needed to strike down.
"I bet your tune would change ever so swiftly if any of us were to 'stretch our legs' within your little Empire... All of your precious loved ones are not so "gifted" as you are. But if you want to place them at risk because of your own cowardice, so be it.", she'd state. Jarvis still wanted his answers, but she would give him none. "I refuse! I answer to no one. You underestimate the bond between myself and my wielder. If you believe that anything can hold us apart, then you are more foolish than I initially thought."
It seemed like things were going to escalate very soon.

He licked his lips giving her a playful grin throwing his arms out to his side his hands in the air lightly as he shrugged in a jesting manner as if making it unclear if he was having a go at her or just not taking her seriously. "You can call me stupid all you want. But given the people you are defending and all pissy about ran straight at... well..." Giving a coy faking to be cute grin as he pointed to himself his shoulders still giving the shrug as he prodded a little more and the cold yet cruel topic. "I still prefer eccentric but please keep up the insults anyway... Mmmm I love it when you get saucy like this. All in red too? By the gods you are a juicy little devil aren't you." Rolling his eyes a bit as he remained sitting on the ground before her shaking his head a little as she proclaimed how he was unfit to even look upon her. His eyes syncing with her words.
They'd flash and become a light silver all color fading from them as with his ki tricks he'd 'behold' absolutely everything she had on under that little red dress of hers. "Well... It's a damn fine body that's for sure but hardly worth proclaiming anyone unworthy to look at it. They do carry themselves well I have to say though. Kinda perky aren't they?" Just having fun now. The way he drank his alcohol too just made it seem like in his tired state much of this was fun for him. Her agitation lightly feedings his glee. Sipping the strong demonic liquor again and never taking his eyes off her as if she were his entertainment. That silver glow ever present in a joyful way of mocking his foe.
He shrugged lightly when she spoke as if he should or at least could have spared them. Licking the tip of her greatsword when she pointed it at him letting some blood slice as his tongue just ever so lightly took a minor tiny nick. The taste of the blood in his mouth and the continuing fun only kept feeding him further. Smirking and his eyes looking as if the taste of his blood was a flavor he enjoyed. Perhaps all blood given the taint in his system. "Oh I could have. I just didn't consider it at the time. Although doesn't matter much now. Are you just gonna tease me with that though? Come on girl stop playing so hard to get and stick me with that big sharp thing already! Common cutey its not my first rodeo you don't have to be gentle!" Laughing a bit while snickering heavily.
When her bladed tried to glide across his chest. He'd arch back lightly in his sitting position and watch as it would glide a few inches away still snickering with his oddly colored eyes. His hand grabbing the bottle as he'd somersault backwards. before stopping on one knee and then rising to his feet. Not a drop spilling from the blackened bottle as he'd drink down even more of it. Giving her a light bow when she compared him to past creatures of similar decorum and style. "I try. So nice to be recognized. Truly... Can you take another swing like that I rather liked the way they jiggle in such graceful movement." Even if the clothes didn't serve as any form of barrier for his eyes. He had faith she'd realize what his trick was. Perhaps not notice his eyes were on her movements more then her assets. The little facade one to try and bite back at her a bit while also slowly burn away at her nerves if possible.
"Ooooh? So you'll come and slaughter up my people will you? HA! I don't think any of you have the stomach for any truly dark acts like that. Maybe the Alliance buggers but earths warriors? Please!, Bat your eyes lashes at them and show em a few good deeds and they'd want to be friends with the citizens rather then harm them. You and I both know that fights with me personally so don't try and poke at my nerves girly. Anything bad happens to me I got a loooong time to rebuild. Hell.... Maybe when that master of yours finally kicks it one day I'll even get to see the next... million or so people to get to use you. I've got nothing but time after all now." He'd say feeling a little cheeky. Throwing the bottle down on the ground with a smash. Letting the fluid splatter about as it hissed and smoke arisen from where it landed. Caesar taking in several moments to really regain his energy.
"Okay Excalibur... Stop me. Here's your chance is it not? For revenge? You and your master seem to always be so willing to sacrifice and do what needs done. The 'greater' good some may say. So whats stopping you now? My Emissary is on earth, Bernael kissed my ring and knelt for me. Your friends are boiling in vats right now thanks to my allies here in the demon realm who are preparing their bones for trophies. If its the location you are worried about I'd not be too worried. This castle was rebuilt in a matter of weeks I believe. It can stand some renovation. But lets make it... More interesting shall we?" It wasn't so much going to his head as it was just changing him. His gleeful grin and joking way of talking. It was as if something pulled out their old friend only to twist him even more. The look in his eyes and jest in his tone suggested he wasn't afraid of her or the ideal of death. He'd avoided death before and escaped. An now with his new powers it was hard to say what would happen or dangers in the after life if he were to perish. Or even how long such bonds could hold him like this.
His senses pinned them down. And within the head of the real Kami and the Demon queen he'd cue in with a little.
<<'I think I'm gonna have a little go at this sword girl... She's having so much fun but I'd really like you to stop playing with whatever it is you have her here for and let her come get her friend? As well you might be ready soon! This castle may need replaced by the time I'm finished.'>> His message movingquickly through the minds of those not far off. His energy swirling within him as his power focused as he felt that little scratch form that Excalibur put there and he so wantingly wanted to scratch now. All he needed was one more push. An the sword tied to her master would get to see who would really survive in this battle. "Please none of that silly stuff either puddin. You really want to avenge your friends? Well?" His elevated from of godly telepathy sending the message to all three souls and projecting his thoughts in their heads. The destruction of Goukens body and the skewering form of Chris hanging limp from the spear his father just behind him from the failed attempt to save them. As well as Bernaels kneeling and handing over of the dragon balls not long before that Jarvis searching his mind for each thought and mental image to arouse their anger. He wanted to kill! He wanted to Die in glorious battle! To feast on his defeated foe! This sword woman was a true aura of holy magnificent heroism! An he wanted everything she had and more. In this form of summoned power his crimson eyes glowed so bright he was beginning to give into this sensation. He'd been away from his wife and anyone to calm him for too long. It was just one desire after another left to fester and become infected in greed and pestilent pride. "Common girls lets have our fun now why wait! You know you don't want to hurt my innocent people and you know I want to see what you've got! These powers are so fucking amazing! Its like my veins are on fire! AHAHAHAHA BAHAHAHAHA!" The power of the Kai's on their own would have taken its toll on Jarvis. The Caesar however in his corruption fed off of it. Desiring only more and more as if his stomach would never be sated. His gluttony forever growing making it show soon his own empire wouldn't be enough. An if it were taken from him he'd possibly do as he did to the saiyans and simply take new lands elsewhere.
Lilith herself had by this time exited the room and started making her way to the other side of the palace. Her arm heated and appearing a dark glow as her portal was prepared if she needed to flee to the cerulean empire. This outbursts often didn't end well and there was only one person in the realm at the moment that had any hope of calming the Caesar. But even at this point if she tried and slipped he may have even given into looking against her if she didn't speak properly on his side. He wanted to indulge in all his sins and desires ever still. An without the one person who had the best chance to calm him not even being in this dimension. Made it very unlikely this was going to end pretty. An yet ever still his grin implied it was little more then a game.
