Rumia had a flashy way of going about things when she wasn't in battle, considering this was usually the case she had a LOT of flashy tricks. Like say for example making teleportation across dimensions seem like a light going down upon Kami's lookout. It was pretty silly in Sora's opinion but she supposed it was better than her being in that mopy rut she was in for a. While. GEEZ she had to go to soooo many meetings in her steed for that time period! Yeah, this was defiantly preferable to that. Rumia worried a great deal about the events going on in the Northern Quadrent, speciully with old busy body North out of commission. Powers were rising and clashing all over this sector, with this planet as a prime focus. Compared to some of the powers here Sora as much as she hated had to admit that many were far outside of her league. Still the Western Kai had entrusted her with this task. She had to do what she could to assist the Kami and prevent things from spiraling to far out of control. Balance was key in this scenario, a balance that was edging closer and closer towards uncontrolleble. She would do what she could, from now until it was back at neutral.
As she touched down on the lookout she would turn her gaze upon the world around her. This was her first time viewing Earth, even if it was simply from the home of the planet's guardian. A guardian that had been through quite the ordeal lately, if Rumia's thoughts were anything to go by. Rumia had wanted to send her out the moment she returned but at that point the guardian, 'Atsuko' was simply to unstable to approach with someone. Sora had a feeling however, That it also had something to do with her own bias messing with her feelings. Last time her master treaded upon the realm of demons she bore witness to the Northern Kaioshin being struck down. Soragami could only assume she was hesitant because Atsuko carried the taint of that realm when she returned to this one, it could not be coincidence she was sent only after she was purged of it. Sora would sigh lightly. For a Kai, Rumia had a lot of mortal emotion within her at times, that wasn't always a good thing.
Still she had been allowed into this realm now, she had every intention of fulfilling her duty. It was her role as her Master's warrior, her Vassal. The guaridians assisted in other world, Sora was going to do it here.
"Yo, anybody home?"

(@atsuko Hisashi IkutoNakiya @kakui And pretty much anyone with a character on the lookout, feel free to join if you so wish!)
Chris had been back to his usual training as of lately, He had to catch back up in the living world since he had fallen so far behind while in the after life, right now he was in the training room practicing with his new blades he had created. Blades literally formed from the essence of his very heart. It had taken him sometime to manage but having had the patience to practice the art of creation he had managed to create something, they said a blade after all, one that was destined would be one that the wielder would feel in tune with. Well he felt more in tune with dual wield weapons, a simple personal preference most would say, but he however felt more so.
As he tossed both of his blades into the air he watched as they dissipated into the air as he quickly switched into unarmed combat, he always found training to be one of life's greatest stress relievers to be honest. After all he was still planning on how he would manage to find out where his sister had even ended up. That plan was even more so proving to be a failure. Once more he launched himself towards that of the training dummy swapping blow with blow before materializing his weapons again to create the added velocity needed to cut straight through the dummy. He was sweating heavily though and he didn't know why. This was child's play training for him. For this kind of thing to start affecting him, maybe he was just stressing himself out, or maybe his training was just too intense for his body right now. It could even be something with how he had struggled to adjust his power to that of the real world. His body had to recover for a bit while it had even done that.
However Chris felt something more radiating from outside on the actual platform of the lookout, he had to be careful so just in case Chris changed into that of his super saiyan form. Quickly he would begin to walk out toward the strange creature. However he also had to very quickly drop the form that was the super saiyan state, walking that small distance should have been nothing but now he was clutching his chest slightly from pain, it even took a moment for his breathing to go back to normal. It was probably just his hard training that had caused it, yeah that had to be it. As soon as he was fine once more he began to answer the strange one. "I guess you could say I'm home right now." Chris would answer rather politely back as he arrived closer.
A familiar voice seemed to join the party of two in a mere matter of seconds. As the feeling of a friend had seemed to tickle the back of Son's brain and urged him to go to the Lookout and greet the recently revived. Why not? It could have been pretty fun to go see how his dear old buddy Christopher and the rest of the lot were after that big brawl in West. Plus, Son was incredibly bored. As he had nothing..at all..to do. He had to get his dog back, one of these days. The house was way too empty without little Shinko waking him up and yapping like she did. Oh well. Maybe that boredom could be quelled by the presence of his pal and maybe some friends he could potentially make while being up in heaven on Earth. His gut usually never failed him before, and that was what he was pretty much following here. And it didn't! Because he had just happened to land on the edge of the flying saucer in the air and found himself two people. One familiar and the other totally foreign. Gouken could chalk this one up as a potential buddy. It was kinda tall though, from what he saw of Sora. Scratching behind his right ear, Son strolled quite leisurely before the duo. Giving a wide, toothy grin to Christopher and issuing a two-fingered wave. The same given to Sora. His cheerful demeanor discriminating none. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

Atsuko had been up to her own training, it'd been awhile since she was able to do so, and finally she was able to feel the progress she was making again... Still, the Knight could detect what her brother had reached. Yet again, he was stronger than she was. It irked her, because she wanted to be ready if they were ever going to have a fight again. That could be sooner rather than later, since she made the decision to have the Saiyan Alliance leave Earth, and doubly so because she chose to exile him... Nasu had done far too much damage.
It never seemed to cross Komatsu's mind that, because of that, she would have no place on Planet Natto either. The most she could do was chat with the Saiyans when they came to visit, or if things worked out well enough for them to stay on that Outpost... Her hatred for her own brother was that strong. She would be part of no culture where he was 'King'. She would be no soldier in his armies. Hell, she didn't even like his officers. The more Atsuko thought about him, the more her training picked up in intensity.
She wasn't using any of her Super Saiyan forms, it was more effective to train in her base form. She worked out the flaws in each transformation in any case, so it wasn't as if she needed to use them long term... Well, the third form she was only recently working on, but even so. Atsuko was fairly confident that if things got bad enough, she could call out the true power within Super Saiyan Three. Her mind continued to race as she unleashed a flurry of relentless attacks, and eventually her training partner took notice of it. "Hey, Atsuko! Isn't this overdoing it?"
Excalibur had effectively called her Wielder out of the trance like state she was in. The Albino Saiyan shook her head lightly as she took in her surroundings. "Ah...", would escape her mouth. Yeah, she'd overdone it more than a little. Thankfully her training was done in the Pendulum Room. But now? Let's just say there weren't anymore enemies for her to fight. "Looks like I'll need to amp it up again... It's a little frustrating, honestly.", the Knight admitted. "I need to get stronger, but it's getting more difficult to find something to challenge me."
The Saiyan added. "Well, it's as you said. You're at the peak of a Saiyan's power. It's going to be harder to progress from here on out.... I know you have your reasons, and I know you can handle a lot more now. But be careful.", the Sacred Sword would express her concern. Atsuko lightly sighs in response. "I know... I'll try to pace myself. I just can't help but feel like I've been lazy. My brother has surpassed me in every way... Even when we were even, I couldn't land a single damn hit on him, except for the one he wanted to hit."
That moment played out in her head again. He got a power boost from that, it was his ace up the sleeve, and nearly sealed his victory as a certainty... But then with the help of that Saiyan called Kohl, she was able to get her own power boost and compete with him. Even with that, she wasn't able to match up to Nasu. She had her single chance to turn the fight around on him, and she chose not to do it... The Albino Saiyan was growing to regret that more and more.
Sheathing her sword, the Knight would step onto a rune which teleported her back onto the Timeless Lookout, and soon after she would sense an unfamiliar energy. The Saiyan would begin making her way outside and just in time to hear woman ask if anyone was home. Seems she wasn't the first one to make it out here to meet up with them, however. Chris was training here, too. Though he didn't opt to use the Pendulum Room as she did... She narrowed her eyes at him slightly, why did he seem weaker? His body may have needed time to adjust, but...
Maybe she was just imagining it. After that, another man would show up and cheerfully greet the two. In light of that, the Knight would step outside of the Palace a little more. "I'm home as well.", she would announce her presence. The Albino Saiyan's gaze would settle onto Sora, and then Gouken. She would proceed to bow politely to the two. "My name is Kami Atsuko Inoue, the Guardian of Earth.", she introduced herself, and then proceeded to assume proper posture once more. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. You can refer to me by Atsuko, no titles necessary."
The Knight explained. "I wasn't expecting Guests, or I'd have tidied up the Lookout a little more. But you're welcome to come inside the Palace, if you like.", the Saiyan added, then gesturing to the structure behind her. There wasn't much need for them all to stand outside and talk. That and her friend Chris looked like he might need to take a seat before he passes out... How much training did he put himself under to wear out so fast? True, the Knight was used to a very extreme training regime now, but even her students shouldn't be tiring out that fast.
It couldn't just be that his revival caused complications, right? There had to be something more to it... But the Knight didn't know what it could be. Still, Atsuko couldn't help but express her concern. He had just gotten back, it'd be nice if he didn't fall ill and potentially lose his life again. Maybe it was because of the power he was obtaining at his young age? It was all theories, nothing solid. The Albino Saiyan just made a note to keep a close eye on him, it was the best thing to do for now.
There was so much going on outside that Lucy couldn't help but grow curious as to what was happening! There was a boy that was around here more and more often who was currently training outside again. Lucy liked watching him, he was a lot less scary than those mean people in the Pendulum room. Watching him practice was much nicer, he didn't look mean. At least not always.
She never approached him though, always peeking out from behind pillars or doors, trying not to be seen. She still felt weird talking to people without mama around her. So she would just wait until mama introduced her.
However, as she watched this boy train, more and more people would suddenly appear on the lookout! The first ws a rather funny looking girl with a big pointy horn stuck in the middle of her forehead! Was she a demon? She liked her, her horn really made her pretty! Then, another man showed up who looked kind of like the boy who had been training. He was bigger and older, but he had the same tail, and heir hair was kind of the same too. It was all very curious.
She would turn however as her mama walked by, addressing the newcomers and introducing herself and welcoming them to their home. Mama had changed a lot since she drank the good water, but that was ok! She liked mama no matter what! Master trusted her to take care of her, so she trusted mama too!
Hesitantly, Lucy would muster up ALLLLL of her courage and run out from her little hiding spot, running up behind Atsuko and reaching up to take her hand while peeking out from behind her.
"H... hello." Look at her being all brave! Approaching all of the strangers on her own! Sort of. WC: 314
Two warriors arrived, one after the other. Odd... somehow Sora expected the Kami to be the first response. Still it did give her a chance to see the earthlings for herself she supposed though.... if their tails were to be judged, they were not completely earthling in origin. Saiyans huh? They really did seem to crop up everywhere in the universe. They were quite the mighty warriors both in heaven and hell, as well as quite difficult to settle down. These two however reminded her more of the saiyan the eastern supreme kai was training. They were nothing like the unruly saiyans she was used to. It was a surprising, but welcome change of pace. Though they both greeted her kindly. The individual, Chris. He was among the pair that got Rumia out if her depression following North's demise. Rumia had mentioned nothing to her of him suffering any physical defects at that point. Of course he was also a spirit then so.... perhaps it was delayed? In ether case the of him briefly gripping his chest, as well as the still strong, but wayning power inside coming from him brought some concern to the warriors face. It was not her place to pry into the man's personal life, bit she would defiantly need to connect with Rumia to ask a few questions later, perhaps the kai had some clue as to his condition.
After this a third saiyan would step foward, this one the saiyan she came to meet in the first place. The guardian of earth.... she certainly looked the part. The oni would attempt to how herself, only leaning her head before Atsuko beat her to the punch. It was a bit shocking for the oni to have someone bow towards her, even if she was not the only recipient of it. She would stop her own midway, not wishing to embarrass herself. To her knowledge earth custom was not all that different in this regard... perhaps this kami was simply more humble than some, it was not a bad thing for say but it... would take some getting used to. She also denied the use of titles but... Rumia did much the same thing, so this point wasn't something she was unused to. The last arrival was a curious young girl. Hmmm they allowed children on the lookout? That was... this certainly was quite the free roaming kind of place. Perhaps their was something special about the child, perhaps she was simply younger sister or child to one of the older warriors here. The way she clung to Atsuko seemed to indicate as much. Still much like the situation with Chris it was not her place to pry into their business as of yet. Still she offered the child a gentle wave and smile. She was a cute child though, and so nervous... such was the folly of youth she supposed. Afterwards the girl would wait a moment, rather comically looking around to see if anyone else was due to arrive before taking a deep breath and beginning her own introduction.
"Greetings, my name is Soragami, Sora for short~ hmmm I suppose I should explain my sudden barging unto your realm.... let's see, how fairs your knowledge on the kai's, namely... the supreme Kai's. You know... aside from that one"
She would speak the last part rather playfully, pointing in Chris' direction to indicate who she spoke of. She would give each of them a chance to respond before she continued.
"Yes... their called the gods of creation... the supreme kai's each watch over a sector of the universe. The four of them strive to keep the universe in balance, indeed and when the possibility of something able to shatter that balance becomes known.... they do what they can to restore it"
Again she would stop and again give the others a chance to process what she was saying. Geez their was the chance this was all for nothing but... better than them not knowing at all.
"However it is only in the most critical of situation that they are able to interfere with the universe at large. They are.... tied to their realm of existence you see my master Rumia however.... she has grown increasingly worried about the state of things over here. She is unable to interfere directly so she sent what she could... me"
The girl would take a breath, one final time she allowed the group take in what she was saying before finishing up.
"I am... to serve as whatever is needed of me. A spare warrior, a source of nformation someone to speak to, to grow stronger alongside... whatever is needed of me, that is what I intend to do. I am aware it's a bit sudden but.... that is why I'm here. It is on my word as an Oni that I abide by this goal and service"
To finish she gave a bow before all that was present. She had every intention of carrying out Rumia's wishes. The Kai may not be able to interfere directly but threw her hands Sora hoped She could at least begin to put her mind at ease.

Chris's heart was pounding, but as long as he lowered his energy a bit, it felt a lot better. It was strange in his own mind how lowering his power had seemed to make it so much better but yet still his mind continued to twist and turn on one of the most simple questions one could ask. Why? Why was his strength sapped so much so? Maybe he was just getting a bit of a cold? He did train outside a lot so maybe that was just it, a common cold. Like the one he had last year when his parents..his adoptive parents..his dead adoptive parents..had taken care of him for, when they had kept him in bed for the whole time until he would get better. It hurt a lot remembering their death...even if he moved on it wasn't his best memory of that night.
Shaking his head he noticed a rather old friend passing right on next to him. "Well Well if it isn't the funny man himself. I'm doing good my friend. You know the usual, constant training, practicing the techniques King Kai taught us...that reminds me..there is a technique I need to show you in a bit. Not at full power of course, but just enough to show you how neat it is. "Chris would say with a bit of a smile as he began to resume his normal non ailed stance.
That wasn't to say he hadn't noticed his master. He noticed how she had been looking right at him for that moment. He flashed her a quick look with his eyes that he was fine before turning back to the oni. As his master would explain who she was to the oni, another girl appeared. How had he not noticed her? As soon as the girl went to cling onto his master's leg he looked at Atsuko in shock. "Umm explain please?!" Chris would say with utter shock still remaining. Considering he had never seen this girl before and she looked very creepily like Atsuko.
That was when the oni, now mentioning their name as Sora began to speak explaining that of which who the Kai's were. All of which he had heard before and even laughed a bit as they pointed at him to not give any answers out. They began to explain how they served under Rumia. Wow, that was a name he did not expect to hear here of all places. Looking to his Master he kept silent for what she wanted to say.
【WC: 179】 【TWC: 454】"Hi!" Gouken responded proudly to his greeting. "Muten Son Gouken! Pleasure to finally meet ya. Say, I've met your sister. I'll save that for later." The young man's hand would meet, his fist meeting his other hand's palm. Bowing respectfully before the authoritative figure as well as the messenger Oni. She required the same respect, of course. His smile remained all throughout, especially as he turned his head. Facing Chris and his eyebrows sorting themselves into a very curious position. "Neat trick, eh? Color me interested. Hope you're not just gassing me up, here. That King Kai has plenty of tricks and if he taught you somethin' I dont know, it better be amazing!" He winked. Eyes returning to the Oni. The conversation didn't seem to concern him, so perhaps he wouldn't have had to pay any mind to it. Shrugging his shoulders, Gouken raised his brow once again.
"Eh?" He grunted, noticing the small blonde girl who had say hello. The young man taking a knee and waving to her with a wide grin. "Hi!"

Well… The young woman and her sword finally agreed that this was in fact earth. In the future. The cities, the landmarks, the environment. All the same, with altercation that came with the times. East City was HUGE. Too huge. She wanted to adjust to the new plane she was thrown into, but she couldn’t do it in such a large place. Griselda was experiencing Culture Shock; Culture Shock on her own home planet. The grandiose cities and variety of life teeming within its confines weren’t the only thing that threw her off… There were several displays of power from all over the earth that far surpassed anything she could remember was possible for people.
Shizune. Ace. Keira. Darkus. And even Atsuko herself did not match to what she felt first. And then another. These powers… they would have laid waste to the scourge that plagued her past. She shook at the prospect of it; Alone, even, they were a match against the demon lord Engrid. Griselda felt yet another spike in power from where she was, a third time, but… this one… this one was familiar to her. Griselda was on her way down a long dirt path in the woods when she felt this. It prompted her to stop and look around. Excalibur could feel its familiarity too, even. Could feel how tense it made the young woman, too.
[“That one… It was gigantic.”] Griselda telepathed and then eyed her blade for a moment before she started down the path again at a slowed pace. [“Yet, it felt JUST like her. How’s that possible?”] Atsuko. It felt like it was so long ago that they last saw each other, but she still felt the strong similarities with it. She was a sister to Griselda. Have been since she was a little kid who ran around a demon-infested earth. The young woman had settled with her in their city of Hope for a while, and still yet stuck close to her once Earthlings and many others had to escape from their homeworlds. Would she really find her? … It would take a bit to get a feel for where that had come from. Strange, it was actually much closer than she thought it was.
[“I wouldn’t know myself. I’m not familiar with how we got here in this time anyways, better yet how it would affect things.”] Excalibur gave what it probably thought was helpful. Well, at least Griselda knew not to ask it many questions on the subject. She took a moment to think where they were and where these powers possibly could be that they were so close to them, eyeing around the thick to try and what exactly it was that would be out here. She remembers a trip with that saiyan boy some time ago around these parts, out on a very similar trail. He showed her this… large pole structure. Surrounded by a village.
[“Hmm. There’s that village that was around that large pole at its center.”] That’s where it felt like it was going at least. [“Would there still even be a village though?”] Good question, there’s a good 900-ish year difference in their times. She couldn’t think of anything else that was really around. And, thinking on it, the powers didn’t really seem to be down on the ground like where she was.
[“I think we’ll need to fly up. Maybe it’s a battle up in the skies.”]
[“And you think that’s a good idea to just appear into that?”] Excalibur would have a point… if one of the powers she felt wasn’t of Atsukos. Griselda took a slow start off her feet, up into the air, and continued to rise at an increased pace.
[“You felt it too though, right? One of those is definitely Atsuko!”] Excalibur, in its homemade sheath, telepathically scoffed. It was used to this sort of naivety coming from its current wielder, but this was just plain silly to it. Not that she could really do anything about Griselda’s interest.
[“Just be careful. They do not feel evil, but I am also sensing something else… Something about Atsuko’s power.”]
They made good time up into the air, way up high, but it seemed like there was nothing but blue skies for a while. Then, almost like she passed through another realm, this weird spin-top looking structure came into view. It just floated there. For some reason it seemed to have a few small gardens and trees rested atop it. The powers she felt, they were definitely there too. She had made no previous attempt to hide her own power, so hopefully they weren’t going to start anything.
[“Oh yes, I definitely feel it now. I feel… another weapon. It’s like me.”] Griselda paused in the skies a bit aways from the lookout to scratch her chin... She listened and wondered on what Excalibur had to say. [“And it seems to be harnessed close into Atsuko’s own strength. It is as if she was wielding me.”] That was strange, indeed. Well, there was really only one thing to do from here. Land. Griselda eyed the lookout as she flown in and found purchase on its top with her feet. There were a few figures around she could make out from here.
[“Right, approach as easily as you can…”] Griselda thought of it to herself as she gained a bit of awareness around her. Two… saiyan looking guys were just chilling near these two blonds. One of the blonds were being greeted, them having a weird horn sticking out of their head, while the other… Griselda’s heart skipped a beat, and she froze dead in her tracks. yeah. That was Atsuko alright. Donned the same outfit and everything. Had that same warming feel about her too. That… it didn’t make sense though. She looked into the distance at the quadro and then looked around. Has anyone spotted her yet? Turned out she couldn’t bring herself to come any closer, to introduce and to but to rest this sudden anxious feeling. She instead hung back and waited to even see if anyone noticed her.
[“What are you doing?”] Excalibur questioned the grey warrior. Why had she stalled? Surely she wasn’t so withdrawn that she couldn’t introduce herself. That USED to be an issue, but she had since grown out of it. At least, she thought she had.
[“I’m not ready. What if I come off wrong and I look like a weirdo? Or what if I just start crying? Yelling? I don’t want my first impression to be so awful!”] Excalibur gave another telepathic sigh. So that’s how it was. She didn't want to appear a fool around Atsuko, who probably wouldn't even know of her. That would be a bad first impression. Better yet Griselda knowing more about Atsuko than this one might have felt comfortable with.
[“You’re a hopeless one, child. If you’re not going to introduce yourself people will start thinking you’re shy beyond help. Besides, we’re already here. Isn’t this what you wanted to do?”] Griselda fidgetd where she stood and just started over to hide behind a tree or something. She hid her power level now, but... it was a little late for that.
Shown PL: .1
[“I am! And it is!”] Now she was just making an excuse to not go any closer. To not see Atsuko any closer than what she already was.

Voice Color: #5bb469 Excalibur's Voice: #b9b9b9 Griselda's usually seen with her blindfold OFF!
The Oni began by introducing herself as Soragami, but preferred just Sora for short. Atsuko could work with that, and gave a nod in response. "Well, Sora. It's nice to meet you.", she stated calmly, then listening to what the woman had to say next. So she was here on behalf of the Kais, and, more specifically the Supreme Kais? That made some sense, Atsuko was previously contacted by one of them. Of course she had no idea that particular Kai was dead now, or that he was the one in charge of the Northern Quadrant of the Galaxy. Yeah...
Things had gotten pretty out of hand, far more than Atsuko realized. "The Supreme Kais... I know that I was contacted by one of them. I've read quite a bit about them, too. Or... As much as there is documented, in any case. I know there's typically only four or five of them. Tend to correspond to a direction... I've been trying to go off of the limited information that was given to me, as well.", the Knight would explain, pausing for a moment. "I guess they do have an alternative title, but I can't quite remember it right now..."
As the Albino Saiyan finished that thought, Soragami would chime in by saying that they were called Gods of Creation. That was it! The Oni proceeded to explain that they watched over four sections of the universe, so that explained why they had directions in their titles. Above all else, they wanted to keep balance, and that was a goal that Atsuko could strive towards. Balance typically meant peace, or something resembling it. Atsuko already put forth a huge amount of effort in keeping Earth safe, but anything beyond that... Well, her Knights would have to take up such goals if they wished.
"Yeah... And we've already found out that something is threatening the balance... The Demon Queen Nakiya, Jarvis who's working with her, a Sorcerer that's calling out dark powers... It really is a troublesome mix, isn't it?", the Knight mused aloud. Soragami would then explain what brought her here, apparently her Master, going by the name of 'Rumia', which wasn't one that Atsuko was familiar with, had sent her here to help out with whatever they needed. The Knight closed her eyes, sensing the power that the Oni held, or trying to in any case. Mm... Not the strongest one.
But not weak, either. "Unfortunately, all of our enemies are very powerful. I won't turn away your help, but it may be preferable for you to act as a line of communication between us and your Master. You're free to help others with their training as well, that would be mutually beneficial.", the Albino Saiyan explained. "I've seen too many good people die because they would rush into the battlefield, not caring of the consequences. Our enemies weren't the forgiving types.", she added, closing her eyes again and letting out a small sigh... There was something else concerning her.
Chris's power, for some reason he was having to lower it so much. The Knight opened her eyes and examined him, he was still struggling so much... Why was that? The Saiyan's gaze would turn towards Gouken however, as he returned the greeting and bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Muten Son Gouken.", she addressed him by his full name out of respect. "I think you'll find that my sister and I are... Quite different from each other.", the Albino Saiyan then added with a smile. Shortly after, she'd hear the patter of small feet running towards her.
Lucy, she could sense the energy as the small girl closed the distance and grabbed the Knight's hand, the Saiyan would smile down at her, and then Chris seeming more than a little surprised ended up asking her to explain. "It's... A long story. Nakiya ended up sending me back to Earth with her. She's my daughter... Fully Human, however.", the Saiyan explained. She'd step aside just a little so people could get a better look at Lucy, but she'd make sure not to let go of Lucy's hand, either. "She's a little shy, but... As you can see..."
The Knight began. "She's like everyone else. I wanted to give her a good life, even if I am enemies with Nakiya.", the Saiyan elaborated. She wasn't sure how people were going to react to this information, but she wasn't about to just keep secrets from her friends and allies, either. They deserved to know this, and... Well. If it came down to it, Atsuko believed that she could keep Lucy safe. The Knight would then look towards Chris once more. "Chris, I've been meaning to ask you... Are you feeling alright? I've noticed that your power is waning."
She began to inquire. "You look pale, too. Then it's seeming like everything is becoming more taxing on you.", she explained the reasoning behind her concern. But then she'd turn her gaze towards one of the trees. There was no mistaking that... A power just showed up on the Timeless Lookout, the person, whoever it was, tried hiding their energy after the fact, but it was a little late for that. Not wanting to leave Lucy behind or interrupt the conversation with the others, she tapped the golden sword at her side. Afterwards, Excalibur would glow lightly and appear next to the Knight in human form.
The woman in red would proceed to make her way towards the tree, where Griselda was hiding. "Hey, don't know who you are, but if someone's hiding there... You can come out. No one here is hostile.", Excalibur stated, hoping to diffuse any potential fight, not that the person really seemed all that strong. They could be suppressing their energy, however. It still paid off to be cautious as the woman in red edged her way around the tree. At least there weren't many places to hide here. If her target tried moving, she or someone else would spot them.
All of these people were so much bigger than her! It was kind of scary now that she was out of hiding. Even though she was behind mama and knew she was safe, it still felt like she was a halfling among giants! Lucy would look to everyone in turn (minus Griselda) and take in as many of their reactions as possible.
To start with, there was the training boy who looked completely confused by her appearance. Thankfully though he didn't look mean like the other boy was... Komatsu was his name... he'd gotten really angry and he was scary. She didn't like him very much, but mama had forbidden him from hurting her so she hoped she didn't have to see much more of him...
Then, there was the second man who had a tail. She found he looked funny, he had this goofy smile on his face! When she said hello, he was the only one who spoke back to her at all. A smile would grace the young girls lips as Atsuko moved enough so that she was no longer hidden behind her legs.
Lucy would wave back to Gouken as he knelt down to be at eye level with her.
"I like your hair" The young girl would start to discuss at random. Her conversation clearly having nothing to do with what was going on around her. HOwever as a child, the conversation of adults was quite boring.
"It's so spiky! Is it always spiky? Can I touch it?" She would ask of the man excitedly. It seemed all that needed to be done to break Lucy out of her shyness was to actually talk to the girl, instead of just talk about her as everyone had done so far.
Lucy was now only holding Atsuko's hand loosely, showing that she had gotten a little bit more comfortable even while surrounded by all of these people. When Atsuko began explaining what she was however, she would stop and glance up to her mama. Did she just say she was master's enemy? That didn't make sense... Lucy was sure they were friends when they left the world of Demons... did something happen she didn't know about? Did they get into a fight?
Sora would give a light chuckle at Gouken's interaction with the child. Typcully the most social interaction the oni got was disciplining the unruly down in hell. Peaceful talk usually came upon breaks and sparring with Rumia. Needless to say social interaction of this kind was not something she was used to seeing all the time. It was a rather pleasant sight to behold however, as were the people around her. Each and everyone of them was a fresh face, a fresh mind. Aside from the child they were also all stronger than her in pure power! It was something her master informed her might be the case but it was still a bit unsettling. She was used to enforcing discipline in Otherworld, which meant she needed to be strong. In the living world it seemed to be different. It wwould take some getting used to that was for sure. Sora would turn her attention back to the kami as wart he only one to respond to her explanation. It seemed the Kami was rather well informed. That was good, it would save her a considerable amount of time in the long run. Their were small gaps in her understanding of course but nothing that was not filled in with Sora's.
"You and your group are well informed Kami Inoue, It would seem my explanation was rather unneeded"
Ah, it would seem they already knew well of the threat. Well she supposed that made sense for Atsuko, She HAD been to the Makai Realm after all. Still it was reassuring to know that she recognised whom the enemy in this was. Heh... she had overcome her influence, in a way it could be expected. Though... she doubted that influence was something one had overtaken alone. Breaking the ruler of demons power... It was not an easy task. In any case she had, and she could identify the three foes the Kai's were worried about.
"Indeed, Nakiya, queen of demons. The would be god Jarvis and the sorcerer... Am I to assume you do not know his identity as of yet? My master saw it only once when she tried to prevent his rise... a kold demon by the name of... Abzerute I believe it was? She hasn't sensed his energy outside of Makai since so... I suppose that is where he remains. As for Jarvis..... my master's involvement with that one... is a bit more personal to put it bluntly. Yet another reason she sent me instead of herself. The balance is tipping wrongly, yes"
Shortly their after the blond saiyan would comment directly on her power. Or at least in comparison to the foes they had to face. Sora would give it a light sigh in response. She knew it to be true, it was why she ordered to help in any way possible rather than purely by her own strength. Still hear in the statement out loud... it was still a strong strike against her own pride. None the less Sora would proceed to bow her head As her answer to the Kami. Besides her tone said said she had her reasons for such words.
"As you wish ma lady, I will do what I can to assist. Feel free to tell me if you wish to get in contact with my master, I'm a direct line hehe"
Afterward speaking her mind Sora would take to listening to those around her. They were so different from beings in the Otherworld, so different yet so similar as well. She would continue listing until a rather stunning fact was announced. The child... was sent by Nakiya? That was a very worrying thought indeed. However Sora would tense her hands and bare it despite that. Atsuko was not a fool however she had fallen into the queens grasp once before. The child dubbed Lucy.... She had not the appearance nor the power to be a threat and besides that she was Atsuko's 'daughter' however Sora was not one to underestimate people. She would not suffocate the child by hovering over her but... she would need to keep an eye, just in case. She was still a child so Sora would not treat her wrongly, at least not unless she proved she deserved. The moment Atsuko addressed the ill concerning Chris one of Sora's iris' would fade from their natural blue to a bright pink, a sign of Rumia watching more closely through her vassal. This action lasted only through the discussion that likely followed before fading back to their natural color. The oni could feel the emotion Rumia conveyed to her... she would need to keep an eye on Chris. Sora so of only smirk a bit when Atsuko's sword took human form. It was an interesting power, but not one that made the oni jump out of her flip flops. She would need to ask the knight how it worked later however! She would lock her gaze towards the tree in question though, just as curious as others as to what lie behind it.
Chris would look at the child with a bit of smile. Even if they were created by Nakiya, he couldn't place the blame of the demon queen on the girl. She was a bit cute, scary how much they looked like his master..still though. He walked up to the girl and kneeled down to her level. "Hey there, I guess we really have not gotten to see each other much, but my name is Chris. Your mother is my cousin.." Chris would say with a smile at the girl before looking back to Atsuko, the smile still on his face before something serious he had to say back to her.
Getting back up he began to walk towards Atsuko. " Master I understand that you are worried for me, but I promise you I'm fine. My body is probably just still adjusting to the physics of our world. The afterlife has rather strange physics...and by that I really mean as in rather strange. Ki isn't used up nearly as fast. My body is probably still adjusting to that. I can even show you I'm fine. I can show you something to prove it even, I'm gonna show the move King Kai taught me, not at full power of course, but just a smaller version. Just to show you all. " Chris would say with a bit of smile past the very small pain that was now passing.
Holding a single palm out he focused only a tiny fraction of his own ki into it, enough that it would do any damage at all to one of a good heart, and for anyone with an evil heart it would just be a very very small sting. A sphere began to form in his hands and the energy that leaked from his looked as if it were made of wisp. The energy radiating felt peaceful even. It felt pure, rather good and calming. "You guys can touch it if you like, this is called the Genki Dama, the Spirit Bomb. I have this small enough though that if you touch it you should feel a rather relaxing feeling. Though anyone with an evil heart would feel just a tiny sting. Still this technique can only be boosted by the help of friends. Friends who I can feel. With my level of sensing I can gather help from any friend within the entire galaxy. Still though, I only want to use this technique as a last resort." Chris would say as he would wait a few moments until everyone could have had a chance to touch it. Once so he would simply reabsorb the energy back.
"Master...there is another thing..My sister, Leena..the demon queen has her..and from the message I got from Nasu in other world...She's corrupted her..What and how can I get her back? I don't sense her anywhere in the galaxy...Wait..what was that?" Chris would ask as he quickly turned towards the tree where he had sensed such energy before it had been suppressed.
【WC: 93】 【TWC: 547】 [align=justify]"Ah." Son nodded. Processing that Atsuko was Atsuko, Cambia was Cambia. Got it, he figured. Directing attention to Lucy, the young man grinned."Thank you! By all means, go ahead!" Son permitted. Bowing his head and allowing the tiny girl to mess with his hair. "It's always spiky, even when I cut it, funny huh?" He stated, entertaining the girl's questions. He hadn't a clue on what the others were talking about, so he figured minding his business and conversing with Lucy was the way to go here.[/div]
