Family Get Together (Invite)

After being nursed back to most of his normal health, although still injured and with a broken nose, Nasu was flying at a low speed, but still much faster than many people in the universe. His ghostly-white ki aura was around his body as he scratched the skies of Earth, heading straight towards the place far beyond the clouds: the Timeless Lookout. During his trajectory, he would look behind him from time to time, to see if the red-haired woman named @hwajae, the one that helped him, was still able to catch up with him. After a short while, Nasu would arrive at the place that, a while ago, he was trying to destroy. He couldn’t help but feel sort of weird to be there after so much time. ”So… They restored it all… I see… I wonder what Athren would think about this… Well, who cares… He is dead, anyway.” Nasu thought to himself, shrugging a bit. Then, focusing on the two familiar energy signatures he was sensing, he walked towards the inside of the temple, a place he had never been before and, once he got there, he found Cambia and Komatsu, but there was also a third person: a baby in her arms.

The saiyan immediately remembered about the time Komatsu told him Cambia was carrying the child of Athren, but that made him frown his brows a bit, feeling rather intrigued. ”Can it be?... I mean… It has been just about five months… She shouldn’t be having a child now… That’s odd! But… It’s definitely a saiyan… He has a tail and luckily he looks more of a saiyan than she and Kimiko do.” he thought to himself with a serious expression on his face as he continued to approach them.

– I’m here, Cambia. I take it this is your kid… How did it grow so fast? – he bluntly asked her in his normal, not so welcoming tone.

The red-haired woman wasn’t very fast but she was trying hard and he could tell that much. Oddly enough Nasu was feeling some empathy towards her to the point that he didn’t want to just shrug and leave her behind completely. ”This is annoying…” he thought to himself, while he was still heading towards the Lookout, but didn’t put any more thought into it. In the end, when they were about to reach the Lookout, she managed to speed up a little bit by using her energy, but that would leave her drained for a while, and he could tell it without even needing to wait for the outcome of it – and he was right. Once there, after rolling on the floor, she got back to her feet and greeted Nasu, who just nodded to her briefly before speaking. - Good you managed to keep up. – he said and, after that, she spoke to Cambia, asking if she was his friend, and introducing herself, before she said she would be catching her breath.

Nasu also didn’t fail to notice Komatsu tensing up when he saw him. Nasu sighed in mild annoyance and stared at his younger brother. – Chill out, brat! I’m not going to hurt anyone in this damn place. – he said in a rather harsh but straightforward tone. Once he spoke to Komatsu, he stared at Cambia at the very same time she asked that inconvenient and teasing question, making him roll his eyes in his orbits, even more annoyed. – Shut up. – he grunted, and then she continued to tease him, now to Komatsu. – Yeah, fuck you. – he added to Cambia, folding his arms and then staring back at the kid in her arms as she began addressing Hwa-Jae, telling her she was in fact his half-sister. After that, she informed him of the name of her son, and, surprisingly it had a saiyan name. Nasu arched one of his eyebrows with that pleasant surprise. – Okra… Not bad. – he commented.

Cambia started explaining about Okra’s way too fast birth by telling them how the hyperbolic time chamber worked. That, however, completely surprised Nasu, making him widen his eyes and his jaw to drop slightly.

– W-what?! So… This is how you assholes power up so much. And then Kimiko was bitching because of the mark… Hypocrite piece of shit… To even think you bunch have such a tool… I should have really destroyed this damn place in the end! No wonder she was so adamant on protecting it! – and he was clearly frustrated with that; Atsuko and her allies had a way to train for a whole year in a single day, while Nasu had to improve by normal means. Still, what made him more at ease a second later was the fact that he managed to surpass her even without such a trick and that made him feel even more proud and he returned to a more serious expression while Cambia continued.

– Six months old? Well, then you should put him into an incubation chamber for the next two and a half years. Saiyans only mature enough to be useful and independent at the age of three, even for hybrids. – he stated with a serious tone. – To keep him out is to make him soft and vulnerable. I can provide you with an incubation chamber later. – he said in a way that he seemed to think she wasn’t going to contest that, but as he said that, she also spoke, asking what had happened and Nasu exhaled a bit.

– Well… I came here to settle the score with Kimiko, and for fuck sake, stop calling her this stupid earthling name. Anyway… We fought fiercely and, although she acted cowardly more than once, I gave her a proper duel and I won in the end, meaning I am the strongest. Still… I couldn’t really savor my victory because the wicked demon queen Nakiya kidnapped her at the last second. Not as much as kidnapped. – he paused, narrowing his eyes a bit as he remembered the battle. – She tried to flee from my attack by voluntarily entering the portal to Makaii. Like a bitch. – he grunted in a sulky tone.

Nasu scoffed a bit when Komatsu inquired if he could be blamed for reacting like that. – Obviously. You know all too well when I’m up for trouble, which I’m not. – he remarked. Then, he stared to Hwa-Jae with the corner of his eyes when she answered Cambia, saying she wasn’t sure they were friends. Nasu had no clue on that department either; the only thing he knew was that he owned her a favor for nursing him back to health after his experience with both the super saiyan three form and fighting his mother. She claimed he wasn’t so bad, but just blunt, and that made him sigh in mild annoyance. ”Great… Now I’m being analyzed…” he thought to himself.

After that, once she finished talking with the baby, she asked if he could not blow things up while she was there. In fact, she asked him not to blow things up at all, and then she continued with the analysis and stuff and that made him grow frustrated and angered, gritting his teeth and widening his eyes with so much annoyance.

– Oh, for fuck sake! I said I should’ve destroyed this damn place, not that I would do it now. – he said, defending himself, then, when she said she would go around the place, he just hmphed, and turned his eyes to Cambia once more as she started explaining how the Hyperbolic Time Chamber worked. This just made Nasu even more angry especially now that he remembered how much they kept on whining because of the Majin Mark, calling him a cheater and stuff in order to make him give up on that slight boost to his power, while the earthling defenders had stuff such as the holy water and this place to train a year’s worth in a single day. ”Hypocrites… Those fuckers!” he thought to himself, but then, as he stared at the baby doing baby stuff, he couldn’t help but to give a single chuckle, and his expression became more neutral as Cambia explained about the stupid name some stupid earthling fuck wanted to give to his nephew.

Then, when he brought up the incubation chamber and Cambia showed to be completely against it, he rolled his eyes in his orbits, annoyed yet again. – You bunch are so stupid. It’s better for the baby’s development and his power level will grow to what it should be. You shouldn’t even have carried him in your body to begin with. God, I forget how you earthlings are primitive! – he complained before shrugging. – Fine, do whatever you want with your baby being vulnerable to threats and unable to defend himself! And for fuck sake, the Alliance doesn’t conquer planets! That’s what his father’s people did! – he said, pointing to Okra, mentioning Athren.

Cambia also said she would call Atsuko by her earthling name, as annoying as it was, but he decided to pay no mind to it, it was minor issue. Then she started defending Atsuko again with the tactical and cowardice issue. When she mentioned the ki suppression tactic he nodded. – She tried, but I have a scouter and her tactic was useless. She also resorted to cowardly acts, such as to pretend to forfeit the fight. If you call that tactics, then I say you bunch are cowards full of shit! – he said and he meant it. – And she did, everyone was there watching, believing whatever the fuck you want about your worshiped hero, but she isn’t this almighty being of virtue you idolize her as. She is a piece of shit that should be dead and a true coward, with some short and brief moments of bravery. – and for him to recognize that in Atsuko was already a hell of an evolution; this image could be better by now if it wasn’t for Atsuko’s own actions. Nasu wasn’t the only one who lost newly found respect for her that day.

The hybrid also implied he wasn’t telling the full story and, shortly after that, the baby sneezed and fired a ki blast at Nasu. The saiyan quickly reacted and deflected it away effortlessly but that made him crack a grin.

– Look at that! The brat has more guts than all of you people together. It’s the saiyan blood in him. I already like him more than all of you earthling fucks together! – he said in a slightly teasing tone. But then, when it was time to explain things, Nasu’s expression became far more serious.

– Alright, I will tell you. – he said, pausing briefly. – I’ve made deals with this demon queen before, first for information, then to make sure she would release my uncle… The first time she asked me to drink a cursed water, which works like the opposite spectrum of this sacred water of yours. But I refused. Instead, she wanted my blood. I don’t know exactly why, but I gave her that. Then… During another meeting, she implied she had other means to help people achieve their true power. It was back at the time I was struggling to ascend to super saiyan two, but was unable to do so. – he paused yet again, with his expression growing much darker now. He was angered by that, but, still, he didn’t regret it; Abzerute’s power did, indeed, help him unlock his true potential. – And that was the power of the Evil Sorcerer with the Majin Mark. I can only imagine that the mark allows him to control people, but me being who I am, he was unable to control me. He just had a mental link… But… I must admit, the mark brought out the worst in me… It enhanced all my cruelty and inner evil and I became that. I did that for power, but I liked what it did because… I don’t kill blood. Not my normal self, at least. – he admitted, sighing a bit. – That annoyed me and the mark allowed me to think about killing her and I wanted it. – he explained and, somehow, he felt like he was about to puke, but he resisted that. – Anyway… It wasn’t a demon in the racial sense… This Evil Sorcerer is a Kold Demon. And I can only imagine that the demon queen may want to corrupt Kimiko to use her power, since they failed to have me for their tool. – he ended by saying that, staring at Cambia right into her eyes.
