As she began to fly further towards the north after meeting that one bug. More and more of her control over her body had been lost and with each closer step she kept losing more and more resistance to fight this thing. More and more she just couldn’t keep up, she couldn’t control it. This..whoever it was inside her mind, it was making her do things she never would have dreamed to doing to anyone. Yet even though it was inside her, she still didn’t know what it was doing, only noticing how she was flying further and further towards the center of the cold north. If only she could figure out its plan..
As soon as she tried though her body just stopped, she still couldn’t move, and she still couldn’t control her body. It was only as she notice two pinkish spheres forming in the palms of her uncontrolled hands that she realized what this controller was doing. She begged, she begged for it to stop. Yet she couldn't move her mouth to make the words. She didn’t have control of that, she was powerless to stop whatever evil creature had control of her body. She didn’t even know of anyone who would come to try and help her. There was no way for her to alert them, and the only one she had recently shown that something was wrong was that strange bug creature.
She tried everything she could, but there was nothing she could do as she just was a soul stuck in the machine of a body, the nanobots being controlled by the trojan who had took control over her. They began to upgrade her body to a even further state of mechanical perfection. The already virtual like form now looking even more adept to the situation. Although not much in visual difference, her processors had already been more than doubled in power along with her energy storage. Enough with the power to destroy an entire region! Quite specifically this region! Her power although still remaining hidden to a lack of any actual ki, no doubt though most scouter on the world would be going haywire at the electrical power.
The Infiltrator was quick to act as it began to use her body to fire countless electrical bullets towards the cities. Each blast ringing a number in her head in sorrow, that number being the amount of deaths. How did one break the heart to obey another? By destroying everything they cared for, everything they loved. If only she was able to gain a small bit of control, maybe she would be able to regain full control and kick the infiltrator out. However that was a big maybe, and for a partially mechanical mind to say a maybe..it wasn’t always that good of a chance. More than ever right now, Aelia was missing one girl she knew could help her for sure. A hot blooded saiyan named Peppra. Her friends...she could only hope none of them were here, as long as they weren’t hurt..she would be able to tough it out. She would be able to keep her heart from being broken.
’Something,’ Sinthe replied between mouthfuls, not really bothered about the Earthling’s questions so much as the delicious food he was touting out of his kiosk. It seemed like Planet Dirt had been worth the visit after all, even if he hadn’t managed to find anyone of proper import yet. Lancing another of the delectable dumplings with his claw he popped it in to his mouth and practically swooned in his seat at the flavor. It had been far too long since he’d indulged in the more basic pleasures of galaxy wide hedonism, in the distant past he would have trekked all over the universe looking for something this good with tearing worlds asunder a close but ultimately secondary aim.
‘Ah, that reminds me, will sir be paying with cash or credit?’
’Nope,’ came the simple, unexpected answer and before the stall owner could interrogate it further there came something else. Screaming? But he hadn’t even started destroying anything yet. The indirect source of the disturbance became clear just as soon as he raised his head from his meal to look around, throwing his weight backwards he was forced to lean nearly horizontal in his seat to avoid the pinkish energy bullet which whizzed past. The vendor stood transfixed with shock at the scene around them. Several of the town’s denizens were not nearly so fortunate. Sitting back up the Anubian growled low in his throat and regarded his hand with almost as much tragic weight.
That next beautiful morsel, that squidgy little parcel of deliciousness which he’d only just plucked up now lay in ashes on the counter before him. As he stood up the softest glow had already begun to rise off of him, a steady barometer of his rising anger and the ki that went along with it. Oh if only his old strength could burst forth upon this villain. He raised his eyes to the next bolt coming their way and rather than dodge this one he leapt straight for it, arcing his leg gracefully upwards to punt the blast into the air where it would detonate harmlessly.
’You,’ he said looking back to regard the stall owner who already had begun to slink away, ’don’t you dare stop cooking. I’ll be back presently.’ Needless to say he reckoned that he had cleared his tab and then some, he’d be damned if he was going to let shock and horror derail his meal. So full of command was his voice and so angry was he already that he didn’t bother to wait for a response to his demand, he simply flew off in the direction the blast had come from. Annoyingly he couldn’t sense the ki of whoever had perpetrated this act of culinary terrorism, but the blasts were still coming thick and fast with little apparent direction other than being aimed for centers of population and so the trail was easy to follow.
What he found wasn’t altogether what he had been expecting. This pretty pink pipsqueak didn’t exactly look like the slayer of cities he’d anticipated, but appearances could be painfully deceptive and he did suppose that he was on a whole new world. Maybe this was what passed for terrifying hereabouts.
’You know it’s not that I don’t approve of the impulse,’ he began, coming to hover a little ways off from her, ’I’m actually mildly impressed with the results as it happens. It’s just I was trying to enjoy some of this world’s delectable street food and well… you kind of went and got in the way of that.’ His voice dropped menacingly towards the end, even as his ki began to rise. As much as it could be said to at any rate, oh how he missed being the terror of the universe, but this would have to do just for now.
Ice would begin to form around the girl's arms, in an attempt to keep her from thrashing her limbs from flinging everywhere. Crystal had been tracking this creature, following the scent of death as she tracked the woman down. She was so silent as she went about things. Not a word was said, in her experience you usually could not keep a villains mouth shut! Something was wrong here.... Was this girl being used? If she was an android it would explain her inability to sense her energy, as well as the possibility of it being a virus. However was that the case or was she simply a silent destroyer? She coudn't be sure but.... She already died once. She knew what lie beyond. She was not afraid of the risk. She approached the girl with a rather playful smile, unsheathing her oversized sword and holding it easily at her side.
"Hello there! I'm Crystal and I serve the on high! You know, kais and what not... Bleh anywaaaay are you evil.... Or a tool being used? I'll do what needs to be done, my master rather likes this planet, can't let it go boom!"
She would then turn to the Anubian, feeling a bit better with one of the destruction gods kin around.
"Oi hi there! We should probably work together here... I doubt she's weak with that energy output you know? I know your kind, so lets get a move on!"
She was still frozen unable to do anything, only to watch as she was hurting other people she couldn't do anything to stop it. All she wanted was for the it to stop completely and she wanted everything to go back to normal yet something, something in her mind, something taking control of her body it wouldn't let her. She is only a victim held within the confines of the inside of her metal body. As she still stood there she could only watch as a single strange creature appeared. The creature seemingly was like some kind of jackal almost something that was from fairy tales.
As the creature spoke to her she was only afraid, she wanted help but yet she didn't know how she was going to ask. She couldn't move a single muscle in her body. She couldn't talk even. She wanted to ask in someway for this creature to help her, to let her free from this control. It was all too late though. Her scanners began to scan the creature noticing for every weakness, what race it was even it didn't identify fully her scanners but registered it as a saved file later. It also began to scan their power level. While it was indeed higher than any humans she had scanned her own before. She worried what was it that she was about to do, what was it that this controller was going to do.
She could feel that her body was about to attack when something stopped it, stopped it from firings a blast all round the cities. Her hands were encased in ice. She was all the thankful that something had stopped her, but as quickly as it came she knew the machine, her body was more than capable of handling it. It wouldn't even take long. She watched another figure approach are looking at her very differently then the last one. Something about her screamed an understanding. Something about her screamed a sense of help. Help for her.
The girl named Crystal even began to speak to her and as much as she wanted to respond she just couldn't. The only thing she could show. The only thing to prove her innocence. Was the look in her eyes. They were filled with sadness, guilt, screaming for help. It didn't last long though. For soon after the briefest of looks in her eyes. Her energy exploded forth and shattered the ice surrounding her hands. Her scanner is locked on to the weird strange creature and scanned extremely quickly. Only for her to see on her hud. The screen said weakness identified. She didn't know what weakness it was talking about but she knew it couldn't have been good. She could only watch almost as if in a third person as she launched towards the creature at speeds rivaling that of the speed of light almost. Her fist slamming upward right between it's crotch no doubt a very very hurting spot. If the hit was successful she would also launch from an above attack the creature downwards towards the ground before firing a fury of pink electrical blast.
She felt so much pain from harming someone, from hurting, she can only hope that one day they would forgive her for the lack of control she had. Still she had to help in some way so she pushed forward inside her mind pushing for the source of this controller.
WC: 576
Launched a basic melee towards Sinthe for 42,000 PL in damage NONLETHALY
Sinthe’s ears twitched attentively at the mention of the Kais, though this Crystal was circumspect as to whether she served the Kais or Kaioshin any Shinjin was a start. This didn’t stop him wrinkling his brow at her familiarity though. ’You know and I don’t even get so much as a curtsy? Either their standards are slipping or I must really have declined in stature these past few centuries.’ He suspected both to be the case but regrettably the somewhat rude emissary had a point well made. Wreaking such havoc didn’t exactly come easy, particularly not to mortal beings and the fact that neither of them could apparently sense any ki coming off of the aggressor didn’t help.
There was definitely something to be said for humility when one approached combat, but for someone who had been born to and once wielded incredible power it was not so much an imperative as it would have been to anyone else. To his detriment, Sinthe was still thinking like a galactic scourge and not the much reduced figure which now hovered with Crystal and the pink pandemonium they were set to engage. As a result he’d left himself pretty much wide open and even though he tried to raise his guard when he realized an attack was coming he couldn’t have predicted it would be from such a low vector.
He hunched forward at the first blow, his eyes bulging noticeably, his voice catching in shock in his throat and his hands clutching at his attacker’s shoulders for support as much as leverage. He soon found himself brushed off though and thrown to the icy ground where he bounced somewhat limp before coming to rest.
’I’m okay… can I just… m’okay…’ Straining to reach his feet again the Anubian rolled his shoulder blade where the second strike had impacted, stretching out the muscle which burned faintly with complaint. ’Fine, if that’s the way it’s going to be.’ He gave another growl, tensing up as his ki rose yet again before suddenly halting. He’d meant to take it easy until his strength had recovered to some greater extent, but there were just some things that couldn’t be tolerated.
Seems as though this is the maximum I can exert just now, still lethargic from waking up after so long it would appear. No choice but to work with it now though. On the bright side though, the upsurge of energy, comparatively paltry as it was to his heyday, made him feel much more like himself. With a much fiercer scowl than he had warn previously he ascended again, floating in front of the opponent, between her and Crystal.
’Based on that last strike I think I can fend her off in hand-to-hand near enough… I’m having sort of an off day if you can’t tell already.’ Now there was an understatement. ’ When she opens up to try and attack me, you hit her with your strongest attack.’ He spoke calmly, simply, but with an air in his voice which suggested that he expected her cooperation. Sinthe generally did not like working with other fighters, he trusted neither their dependability nor their strength, but beggars could scarce afford to be choosers and he was out of options near enough. He could of course just stand down and leave, but that would be the first time in a long, long time that he’d done that.
Besides which, the feeling of being up against it as he was had faded far in to the deepest recesses of his memory, if it weren’t so inconvenient he would be almost grateful for the series of events which had led him here. For all that he already felt pressured and perhaps a tiny bit anxious, it wasn’t altogether a bad feeling. That in mind he raised his hands, taking a stance before rushing in towards the pink haired youngster, he darted to the right, balling his fist and winding up as an obvious tell. Instead of following through though he swung back the other way, throwing a spinning back kick towards his opponent instead aiming toward her midriff.
First discovering Takoyaki and now this, he was having a neat day.
WC: 701 75% Power: 43,140 Launching melee at @aelia for 5% {2,157}
[Thread PL: 506,765 base. Suppressed to five at start, but later removed.]
It was quiet. Almost peaceful, one could say. Peace never seemed to last very long on Earth, however. A beeping from the scouter that Atsuko always carried with her alerted her to something happening, a huge power that she couldn't sense. Out of curiosity, the Albino Saiyan decided to check it out; pulling the Scouter out from where it had been stowed, she placed it over her eye and then pressed a few buttons. Within seconds she had determined the location of the power... The Cold North, huh? What's more, several smaller power levels were starting to vanish. A process which was interrupted.
Still, knowing all of this... Something was definitely going on over at the Cold North. Her childhood home was there, so suffice to say, Atsuko felt an obligation to head over there and prevent any further deaths. It also fit into her role as the Guardian of Earth. The Knight didn't take very long at all to set out from the Timeless Lookout, as she stepped off the edge she immediately took flight. A blinding speed would see her reach the snowy region in very short time. As she neared the location, she realized that two smaller power levels were near that large one she couldn't sense.
Just a little longer and... Well, everything was within eyesight now. Three people here, two girls, and one... Zoanthrope? The Albino Saiyan perked a brow at the gathered sight. Still, she could detect the energy within the smaller girl, and what she assumed to be a Zoanthrope. The Scouter was able to pick up the energy being given off by the final person... Quite the impressive power, and given the context of the situation, almost assuredly what was posing a threat to the Cold North. Something about her seemed a bit off.
Besides the obvious. The Knight decided to reveal her power at this moment. A surge of energy would blow outwards, almost like a shockwave. "A fight, huh? Looks like it's determining the fate of this region... That's bad luck for whoever wants to do it harm. This is my home.", the Albino Saiyan states firmly. "That means I'll be protecting it... And I'll make sure no one dies.", she finished. Her power stabilized and the 'shockwave' that was released faded. The way she carried herself... It showed that there was a lot more hiding under the surface, so much more she could tap into.
Super Saiyan alone would be too much for this. But she would keep it and the higher forms in mind, just in case she needed to prevent any dangerous attacks to the region, or to the people here. Her training with Rumia had progressed fairly well, but she couldn't train twenty four seven... Not that she was the one thinking that way; the little pink Kai insisted that the Albino Saiyan rests every now and then due to the extreme nature of the training.... This wasn't exactly a vacation, but she was 'getting out of the house'.
That was a start, right? The Saiyan briefly checked over the memento that Rumia had given her, doing so with her hand. Given that the earring was still placed on her ear... It wouldn't do anything to help her power increase here, but that was fine. It held sentimental value as well. Though in this case, she wore her more standard garb. Rather than what the Supreme Kai insisted she wore during training. She preferred her robes and armor over that dress. The Saiyan then crossed her arms. She didn't bother drawing Excalibur yet, hell there was no need to transform yet either.
She was here mostly... To observe until she was needed. Then the Albino Saiyan would spare no time in her reaction. No one here seemed like they would pick a fight with her, either. But if they did, well, that was going to be on them. The Knight would stay true to her vow, however; no one was going to die now that she was here. And even if she had to knock out every single person here just to accomplish that... So be it. Still, one step at a time. No need to start rushing, after all.
It'd been awhile since she was out on the field like this, but Atsuko was more than certain she hadn't gotten rusty. The craziness that was her life didn't exactly allow her to just up and stop training. As a Saiyan, that was doubly so. "Oh yes, if anyone wants to fill me in on what's going on here... I'd appreciate it. Though I will have to give a warning that I might rush off at a moment's notice. Need to make sure nothing bad happens here, you know?", the Albino Saiyan adds. Whether they were listening or not didn't matter.
It wouldn't change the actions she would take. It fell to them on exactly what she would be doing. For now, she remained in her base form. Simply watching the situation unfold. There was a lot to be gleamed from patience; not that Atsuko really needed to practice it here... But by conserving her power and watching carefully, it gave her that much more of an edge when she needed to act. Atsuko played around with the idea of transforming in order to have that much better of a reaction time, but decided against it for the moment.
The Saiyan side of her briefly awakened, the excitement of something to test her skills with. But she quickly suppressed it... The Knight was recalling the training that she had with Rumia. Emotions needed to be kept in check in order to be truly effective in battle. That applied even when the danger was minimal, and all she had to do was stay on the defensive. There wasn't anything else to distract her now... Time to see how this would play out, she at least wanted to see what everyone here was capable of. That was enough to give her pause.
WC: 1,004 ___________________ Stamina 5/5 Atsuko is joining this thread to defend the Cold North! She has vowed not to kill anyone, nor allow anyone to die. She will still defend herself if attacked, but the attacker will not be killed.
How long had it been? The man couldn't even really keep track at this point. He had said goodbye to who he once was. Made sure his identity was entirely unknown to anyone he had ever met. So that to them, he was just another face without a name, someone who had no history to speak of. No alignments, no friendships, no purpose. That was all in the past. The only thing he had to do now was avenge someone important to him. Why was he even out here though? That was one thing he could only answer vaguely. He was out there to make sure someone who deserved justice was going to get exactly that.
...But so far there wasn't any sign of who he was after. instead he was met with the sight of...Two strange beings fighting. He had to guess they were decently powerful, though there was no definites with him, he had still lacked the power most saiyans had to sense energy levels - a being's latent power. He never really had the time nor the willpower to do so. Not that it would have made a difference, he always tried to be pacifistic.
...It was never so easy for him, unfortunately.
He had been all over the world these past few months. Changed beyond what he once was. But all of that had taken a back seat to what he was witnessing. He shrugged and leapt up to a rooftop, there he took a meditative seat, his power level dropped far below average as he silently watched the fight. "Hrmh. Seems like things are starting to pick up." He commented underbreath to himself. He witnessed a woman in armor fly up to the scene, she watched commandingly. She sounded like she intended to fight whoever started the problem, and given the way she carried herself...Well, Ermine made an assumption that she must have some pretty crazy power behind her. He certainly wouldn't challenge her.
"If that woman intends to dole out punishment, it might not end pretty for whoever receives it...I've gotta stay around to see that. I wonder though..." He silently eyed anyone within visual range, trying to see if he recognized any of them. No luck. "Of course it wouldn't be that easy to find them...They're probably half way across the galaxy at this point."
He grumbles silently, his face wraps muffling his voice somewhat, and at that range making it mostly inaudible to anyone in the heat of battle. He closed his eyes for a moment, focusing on the sounds of the battle, It...Disturbed him, shook him in his core, but he listened, he didn't back down for even a moment, he figured it would help encourage him for his own battles to come. All he knew for sure was, said battles were not far off nor unforseen...He had a few new enemies himself nowadays, and if anything, this was just a precursor.

Ermine is spectating on the sidelines with a very low concealed PL.
It was something, wasn’t it? The young flame’s subordinates in her firm rarely called her personal cell. The North’s plant surprised her with this as a typically mello voice rang through the other end and warned her of an attack on their plant… or, rather, the possible destruction of the entire North city. Before she would have to ride out to it in her car. But that wasn’t necessary now, no. Full steam ahead she told her Auntie and those around the estate where she was off to and flew into the distance a blink of an eye.
Flare had a reason to show, at least. But she couldn’t sense the presence of anyone really big at first. The fire elemi had already subconsciously assumed it was just some weak pipsqueak with more power than the average person. Kind of stupid to try something like that with so many strong people on the planet, one would think, but Earthlings have never been known to be the most rational beings. Well, neither was she. Difference was now she had some power to back herself up. As she approached the Northern sector however she was greeted with a few familiar powers; One of that kami. If Atsuko was here then something big enough to get her attention, something bigger than just her factory being in danger, was surely going down then. The redhead made scene right after the other presence of the kami and upon scoping the area she only recognized that one off the top of her head. Near the armor clad kami was a pink haired girl, some other girl in poofy, wintery attire, and some purple cat thing… Flare came just in time to watch that poor sod in particular get knocked in the gnads.
It made her laugh. Maybe a little too hard and loud. It was a good thing she wasn’t exactly hiding herself anyways.
“HAHA! Ohh! Gottem!” Fire picked up from her hair and spiraled as she chuckled loudly and snorted about the foul play displayed from the pink haired girl. The fire elemi eventually settled down a bit though and crossed her arms as she hung in the air in a hover. “Hah… kais, I came up here to see who the fuck thought it was a good idea to fire near my buildings, coming to find out they were attacking more than that, and the first thing I come up on is some feline getting suckerpunched. Ohhhhh boy, hahah.” Flare really didn’t care if the others didn’t find it all that funny, she needed a good laugh for the moment in time.
Atsuko’s stance she was taking did cause Flare to eventually turn her head and smirk at the blondie an instant before transforming; Eyes a faint glow and hair lighting up brightly as flames slowly, elegantly rolled up her form. This surge of power was greater than that of the kami in her base form, but it felt held back. Restricted.

“Well, hope ya don’t mind me telling ya that you’ll probably have no need to move an inch ‘Suko. Whoever it is-” She turned back towards the others and widened her smirk towards them.“I’d deal with them myself. So! Which of ya is it? Hmm?” Flare’s eyes continued to scan the opposition, looking from one person to the other…“I don’t appreciate people coming around and blowing shit up; At least when it kills people. So come on. Fess up, don’t want to have to go hard on ya.” Flare's aggressive self couldn't help but speak honestly, but again her power sort of bet and fluctuated around its current point. She was definitely holding herself back from the audience around her. Stamina: 3/3 Current PL: 1,366,361 / 1,247,547
She couldn't allow another soul to be ensnared, used like a tool to fulfill someone else's purpose. She didn't know what was going inside her. She didn't even know who this lady was! All she knew was that those were couldn't be the eyes of a killer, not a willing one. She wasn't sure how but.... she wanted to save her. Even if it meant freezing every bit, every piece till the intruder was gone. She couldn't let this place burn. Rumia said it was important to someone, Her newest student-though Crystal hadn't met her yet. She had every intention of protecting it from the parasite!
Despite the seriousness of the situation she would laugh rather openly at the anubian's reaction to her greeting. They tended to quite the proud people! She supposed she ought to have stroked that pride a bit, but she didn't really have the time for all that at the moment. Besides, he wasn't quite the intimidating force his more popular kin was.
"Welllll much as I'd like to stroke an ego or two, we might get burned first ya know? Then more yummy food eh?"
And then the girl slammed him to the ground like a rag doll. Welp, ok then. If this wasn't an exceedingly important matter Crystal would likely enjoy the goings on. But as is.... she had to ensure the protection of this area. That required complete seriousness... so yeah! She would give a determined nod as the anubian raised his power three times higher and then rushed the young laid. After he did so Crystal would gather a massive amount of cold energy within herself, focusing it directly in her hands, the kind howling as she did so. She then called out to the sealed maiden, a determined grin on her face.
"Ok ya soulless parasite! I demand you release that maiden this instant! If not well... I can do a much harsher freeze "
She let the threat hang in the air, before firing off her huge her icey build up, aiming right at her body. A shock wave then coursed throughout the the area, vibrating the ice elemi's body as it did so. Such an intense pressure... She turned to face the source of the power and gasped, that reading... along with her words. Crystal's body would fade away a brief moment, becoming ice as she used the massive amount of cold to amplify her movement. She then reformed herself in front of the kami, a delightful grin of her face.
"Lady Inoue? Thats you right? I'm Crystal, Rumia's apprentice! I was sent to um... help protect this place for......"
She would stop in mid sentience, tapping her chin in thought before shaking her head seeming to change the subject.
"Anyway! That woman... somethings wrong with her, somethings controlling her. I can feel it, in her mind and her eyes..... if we can I want to help her, but.... protecting this place takes precedence I know. I'll do what I have to do ma lady!"
And then she felt heat, and fear. She turned to face the newest arrival and shook uncomfortably. Fire. Fire was familiar. Fire was what destroyed her home. Fire used her, and threw her away.
Why was a fire user here? Why?!
Crystal would move to the side of Atsuko returned her sword to its backhand position. To answer The girl's question she would simply point at Aeila l. She didn't trust a wielded of flames with her words.
And from that moment her vision would constantly go back and forth from Aeila and Flare. Because despite what she made herself sound like, she was just as much a worry to her as the threat at hand.
(Ot-3 Artic Storm -75%- fired at Aeila! Stamina 0/3)
The viral program was already beginning to notice how out numbered it was starting to get here. The most logical decision was to plan for a retreat of some kind. It was time to plan for a tactical retreat. If it could just get far enough away to blend in with a crowd and activate the life force fakage processors, it could manage to hide within the civilians of a nearby crowd. It knew that this girl had never met any of these people before, if it could throw them off and blend in, a quick switch and none of them would be able to know the ki was them, now to only put the plan into action.
That was where the challenge was truly going to be, It had to manage to get out of this situation, preferably without damaging the body it held control over. Although it wouldn’t be terribly a nuisance and possibly simply a simple repair if worst came to worse. It was preferable to keep the controlled host from panicking as much as possible. After all, the creator would not be too pleased with one of it’s creations having been destroyed. Now to find the most optimal escape route.
As it scanned over the various high powers, it still knew that it would be illogical to simply stay here, and it needed to leave as soon as possible. Scanning it did find one optimal route, underground. An old underground train way, most likely the best likely source to escape through in such darkness. However it seemed there was still some that wanted to fight still, if that was the case, then indeed it wouldn’t be easy. However it wasn’t going to attack just yet. The creator would have been pleased with it, if it did such an illogical solution.
It was all one quick rush as the wave came toward it, utilizing its master’s creation though it began to create a pink barrier, taking up the entirety of the attack and neutralizing it. Such futile attacks, and yet it was not the best way to go. If it chose now to gloat then all of this would have been pointless, as pointless as life itself was already. As soon as the barrier fade, the android was quick to move downward in a spiral drill formation to move underground. All attempts to deepen the dive into the crust of the earth and down into the subway beneath.
Meanwhile Aelia was all but afraid, she couldn’t hear anyone, all she was, was trapped. All she could see was as the virus taking control pulled her down and down, deeper into the earth below. She was scared all right, she was scared of death, she was scared of never having control. Yet she wasn’t sure which one she was scared of more. Both were equally horrible, both were things she did not want to happen, and yet she didn’t want the virus to get away, what was one to do? What could she do without control?

The Anubian’s leg jarred as it struck the pink sphere forming around his opponent, a basic enough barrier technique it would seem, but effective nonetheless as when he strained against it all he managed was to push off of it. Flipping backwards he immediately raised his hands into a defensive posture, now determined that he wouldn’t be taken unawares and expecting a counterattack even as Crystal’s attack crashed against the same defense. Seemed like that cryokinetic ability of hers was no joke either. He watched, almost dumbfounded, when instead of heading to her or him the enemy instead went straight down and plunged into the ground. ’I thought I said—ugh, you know what? Forget it.’
Still, the Kaioshin’s girl was right. To be able to block both attacks, that’s some power output if that thing came from this planet. Yet it seems far more concerned with evading all of us now. Not just looking to start a fight then, as if it even matters. Once the pink haired girl had fully disappeared beneath the ground Sinthe was quick to follow, dropping out of the sky and landing just off to the side of where she’d burrowed down. It seemed strange at first to up and bury oneself in the midst of battle but if there were tunnels or caverns under this place then it made all the sense in the world, particularly as they could not perceive her power to a man, for her to mount an escape through that route. Sinthe however was not about to spend the best part of the next few hours scrabbling around filth encrusted tunnels and wading through heaven only knows what. Honestly this whole venture had already consumed what little patience and temperance he possessed, he couldn’t rightly just step away as though nothing had happened but there WAS food waiting for him back the way he’d come.
Well there damn well better be.
Widening his stance Sinthe spread his arms out to either side as he began to gather his ki., a soft purple glow rising in wisps from around him which clung close to his body. He was having none of this! ’If you don’t get up here right now I’ll follow you right down to the core of this provincial little rock!’ His energy reaching its peak finally spilled out in all directions around his body, stripping away the earth and rock beneath him to carve out a crater and expose the tunnels which their common enemy had proposed to shelter in.
Using OT-2 Super Explosive Wave {21,570 PL} to expose the tunnels which @aelia is hiding in. Stamina: 1/3 WC: 423
An energy signature that Atsuko recognized was approaching. That was Flare! The Fire Elemi didn't seem to be very pleased about the mess going on here in the Cold North either.... Then she enjoyed the Zoanthrope getting punched between the legs a little too much. But it didn't seem as if Flare cared about that fact either. Upon calming down a little bit, she accessed a higher form of power and then made the claim that Atsuko wouldn't even need to move an inch. The Albino Saiyan smirked at that. "Yeah, seems like you have this one in the bag."
The Saiyan admitted. It seemed like Flare really wanted the one responsible all to herself, as made evident by her next words. The next one to approach was Crystal, who introduced herself as Rumia's apprentice. "Huh, no kidding? I'm being trained by her too. It's amazing the difference that she's been making in my training efforts. I thought I had already worked out the best way to progress.", the Albino Saiyan responded. All that out of the way, Atsuko watched as several attacks had just been unleashed towards Aelia, who formed a barrier of some sort and reduced the effects...
Before then descending towards the ground at a rapid pace. The Knight rolled her eyes. But then she perked up as she felt someone speaking to her in her mind; Rumia... So, Caesar was finally making his move. He was attacking Planet Natto, aiming to kill the Saiyans there. Seemed like the duel was off, then. Still, she'd just have to trust that Komatsu and Nasu could handle it. Although now she was sensing that far to check the damage herself... It was nothing short of severe. Extensive loss of life on both sides, and the fight had only just begun.
At least, as far as she knew. But that wasn't the end of it, Caesar also had some agents here on Earth causing trouble. By attacking the Saiyan Alliance's Outpost here on Earth... The Knight tightened her hands into fists. "Well... That's just bad luck for our friend trying to escape here. I'm going to be finishing this in an instant.", the Saiyan immediately ascended into her Super Saiyan form. Her blonde hair turning into a glowing golden, and her eyes turning from green to a soul piercing teal. Her aura now turned gold as well, and then she turned her gaze towards Aelia's point of exit.
Although Sinthe had the idea to attack there, and that made things more difficult to determine... What she could still do was use her Scouter to track Aelia's movements. That was exactly what she did, the Scouter locked onto her power's position and actively tracked it for her, all Atsuko had to do now was just move towards her. "Get back here!", the Knight dove after her, flight giving her an unreal speed as she pursued her foe. She finally drew her sword from it's sheath, and cleaved an opening straight towards Aelia.
Thoughtfully, she moved her blade in such a fashion so as not to hit the Android directly and potentially take their life. However, she descended on Aelia immediately after, and proceeded to attempt grabbing her by the face. If successful, she'd then fly up to the surface, and well into the air as she dragged the Android along for the ride. "Nothing personal, but there's something big going on right now, so I need to make sure there isn't even more going on here on Earth!", she'd state to Aelia, and then proceed to hold the Android in front of her.
She stopped in the air, and then proceeded to jam the hilt of Excalibur into the Android's gut. She held back enough of her power to only disable the girl, instead of a lethal blow. She followed up with a second blow just to make sure that Aelia wouldn't be able to fight or attempt to escape anymore. Again, she was making sure that she wouldn't suffer or die from it. Once Atsuko was certain that the Android was at her limits, she'd descend towards the ground and gently set the girl down. "Okay, listen up.", she then began.
Turning her attention to the others still here. "Caesar is making his move. A massive attack on Planet Natto is taking place, and he's also having his agents cause trouble here on Earth. Keep an eye out for any other troublemakers here on Earth! If you sense what you believe is an attack, investigate it cautiously. We might have a full scale war on our hands, and we'll need to make sure that no one on Earth is in danger.", with that said and done, the Albino Saiyan began to fly up into the air once more. She was confident that nothing would happen to Aelia.
"Make sure you're all careful. We don't have to worry about Caesar himself here on Earth, but his soldiers aren't to be underestimated!", now then... It was time to see what was going on here at Earth. The Knight closed her eyes and began to sense across the planet. As far as she could tell... There was one other point that was being attacked. The southern islands, which matched up with Rumia's message. She opened her eyes and then glanced around to the gathering once more. "I'm leaving the girl in Crystal's care."
With that, the Knight then began to fly towards the Southern Islands. If there was any luck, she'd make it in time to help out. Though hopefully everything was going well... As far as she could tell, Rumia, Soragami, and Micaela were all there... Chris too. There were three power signatures that she didn't recognize, and from this distance it was impossible to tell who was fighting with who. She'd just have to go and investigate personally. Of course, this was an action that could be interrupted if anyone here saw need to do that... Still, it looked like it would be difficult to talk her out of it.
WC: 1,009 Total WC: 2,013 _____________________ Stamina 5/5 Atsuko's PL in Super Saiyan Full Power: 8,108,240. Tracked Aelia with her Scouter, and dragged her back out into the surface in order to attack her twice due to the power difference. Martial Arts [AD] for 1,621,648 damage! Followed up by another for the same amount. The blows are non-lethal, Atsuko was careful not to take a life. Now attempting to leave the thread in the direction of Rumia's current location, the Southern Islands to assist her.
With permission from Ray to go ahead of him. He's still next in line after me. Those cooperative were quick to point to the girl with pink hair as the culprit. There was something… off about that one’s silent disposition. The other girl, Crystal was it? She didn’t look like she trusted the young flame even though she was one that pointed her towards the target. Before she proceeded she tried to just give the young ‘un a smile. It probably didn’t look the friendliest with the flames and all but hey. Flare tried. She had then balled a fist close to her face and created a large ball of fire in it. It was apparent by now the fire elemi was meaning to assault the girl once it had been made clear she was the opposition. Having decided to head on after the android after the two previous attempts by cat-man and crystal were made null by a barrier… but she froze just a little ways away from her original position. Someone was in her head again, but it was a calming and familiar voice.
Well, it was calming for about half a second. Koma, one of her only saiyan friends, warned her of Jarvis. That planet he had went to, Natto. That faux god was there attacking the planet. The young flame didn’t need to sense around the planet too far off from where the messenger was to sense that daunting… scarily familiar power near the Saiyan. There were others, too. Apparently the kami had gotten a similar warning to hers and acted much faster on it. Rightly so, this revelation wasn’t exactly one she was ready for. Flare didn’t think either of them were truly. In a sudden fit of rage and anxiousness the flames in her hand burst brightly and quickly dispersed thereafter, the flames around her person becoming more erratic with the obvious distress on her face.
“Sonuvabitch! I’m not ready for that prick yet!” Atsuko had taken the stand already on the issue, being the kami and all. It was sort of her place to be, really. She was already literally beating Flare to the punch with this threat by attacking it herself. Additionally the monk’s words only confirmed that she wasn’t just misreading anything. But... Keep an eye out for anything on the homestead? Screw that, Koma needed her help! No more Incidents like Sani. Like Ermine. Like Jax. Like... Shizen. Flare promised herself that she'd stop dwelling on the past like this. Too bad it always came up anyways to haunt her in these times. Moments like this where she becomes emotionally unstable. It only angered her more. Instead of taking it out in a blind rage on those around her however she merely made her case. The knight was already on the way out though... Telepathy would have to make due. To the others it'd look like she was venting at herself.
["You’ll have to excuse me, Atsuko, but Komatsu needs my help there! I’m not bound to this Earth!"] Flare exhaled her thoughts aggressively, hurriedly towards the blond saiyan. She was already on her way, hovering slowly at first to keep conversation. The venting was heard… fairly clearly to anyone around. She had not forgotten her promise though. ["I know I said I'd not go out and face him until I was ready, yeah. I know I made that promise! But I have to! I have to go, otherwise Komatsu will be lost to Caesar! I’m not losing someone else! No, not again! Especially not to that blue-haired fucker!"] Flare could only hope the young kami would understand the sentiment. All these final words sound pained to get out of her system, the fury in her eyes only growing with every passing moment. If no one was to stop her at that point the fire elemi would have free reign to jetson off into the distance, almost exactly from where she came. On her way out she’d hit up Kyuri, telepathing the familiar saiyan much like with what Koma did.
[“Hey. No time for chatting I’m afraid, need the coordinates to Natto for my ship. Your boy’s in trouble.”] This was all shit. Can she get there in time? Will anyone else be able to stand up besides the two of them to stop another random planet from being destroyed? She’ll be honest, the main reason she was going was to take a pick on Caesar… But a close second reason was to also to help a friend. Koma was fun to have around, damn it. They had moments, some that gave her this warm yet uncanny feeling. A feeling like that of her old friend. The same one that betrayed her just a year prior. Oh, if only the kais had an inkling of care and authority to stop this madman before he hurt anyone else. Or if she was stronger herself. The young flame made it back rather quickly, to the surprise of all others around. It wasn’t too long that she had actually been away from the manor; That surprised look on the maids and Auntie’s face told all. No, it hadn’t even been a few minutes since they last saw each other.
“Auntie, have the cars been kept in good condition?” Flare anxiously went along and ran far ahead of her into the garage. This further took aback the staff and her caretaker.
“Yes, but why-” The old lady would start speaking up… But her little girl was already hopping into the more expensive of the bunch. Sleek and metallic sheen coating. It looked much more aerodynamic than most the designs in the garage. With the conviction of a loyalist Bravehardt she started it up and made sure everything worked inside. Auntie peered over from the other side expectantly.
"Well, looks like the show's already over." The man in the shroud shrugs. And yet...Then he notices someone in the group that looks familiar...No, there's no way it could be her, it was just a coincidence, right? He shakes his head as memories come flooding back, memories he tried to forget. They made him weaker, made him let his guard down. He jumped down from the roof, trying to hurry away as quickly as he could manage. He couldn't stand to try and remember something that brought out his old self. Besides...Most of the people who could ever pull that out of him were gone.
But then, that's why he was here. He was after the people who made him like this. And this time he intended to go through with it. Still, much to his annoyance, this skirmish most definitely scared off his target. He'd have to go back into waiting ...And he wasn't entirely sure when he'd get another chance. Still, as he saw that familiar Elemi girl fly off out of sight, he couldn't help but wonder...Was this just the way things were supposed to be? Was he being cursed to a life of solitude for his time in the Empire?
"...Doesn't matter, does it?" He spoke silently to himself. right now, he had to return to killing...It seemed like the more he tried to escape that, the more he kept returning. It burned him from the inside. Killing...Watching the life drain out of someone's eyes because of your own actions. He couldn't erase that from his memory, just as much as he couldn't erase the friends he had met. But one was a terrible reminder of the irredeemable monster he was, the other was a fading strength he once had.
He walked off towards the setting sun, though his target was lost, at least he got a minute's respite from watching this battle, that much wasn't so bad, the saiyan thought to himself. The battles weren't the bad part after all, it was the ending. That's right...The ending was always the same. One side always beat the life out of the other, it seemed. Soldiers acting on orders as if their superiors were kais. But tomorrow was a new day, right? That's all he had to keep telling himself. That tomorrow there wouldn't be another target, tomorrow he wouldn't have to be a part of death, tomorrow he could just let someone be.
... That was a dream too far from reality. Everyone he had met died. Even the one he thought he saw alive...Must have just been his memories haunting him, after all. He was a battered "warrior", maybe his mind was slipping as much as his body was. Before he would've claimed he was fighting for others...But then he recalled that he still caused death, even then. It was hard not to be so...Moody, I suppose. When you couldn't see yourself as anything other than a mindless machine, designed to take away life.
... He genuinely feared the power he was gaining as he walked away from the scene.
