Makings of a True Devil [Mansion/Ask]

Vulpeca had started taking a liking to this Heizen guy... if he was a rat, which he had learned most Demons were, he was doing a very good job at it. The Demon king had met him once with Nyxosa, and again on the battlefield when he had helped the royal family keep their claim to the throne. He was proving to be quite interesting to him.

In the aftermath of the battle of the palace, the royals hadn't taken long in getting rid of the corpses littering their lawn... all it took was a few well aimed fire blasts from his mate as well as some of his own acid to burn them away completely. Except for the scorch marks littering the palace, you could scarcely tell that anything had happened at all, and that alone sent quite a powerful signal to any other demons out there that may still be planning an attack.

With all that work out of the way, Vulpeca sought out this Heizen, no... Lord Heizen as he should come to be called. He was after all, the Lord of his own noble house now. Vulpeca would have to remind him to invite him to those dreadful meetings at some point... he so wasn't looking forward to taking those over from Nakiya.

As Vulpeca approached the palace he easily spotted Heizen floating above it, seemingly waiting for him. Vulpeca raised an eyebrow at this but didn't stop until he was hovering just a few feet away from him. The Demon King was wearing his military uniform, feeling that it suited him far more than any kingly clothing Aya wanted him to wear. It was much more comfortable, and practical.



"Hmm. These are some nice digs you've gotten for yourself, Lord Heizen."
Vulpeca said with a smirk playing his lips at the sound of the title. It still felt so strange to have a low bred dog take up the rank of a noble... alas, that was how things worked down here. He couldn't keep thinking of Heizen as a low ranking Demon anymore. He had more than proved otherwise.

"I hope your ready, because unlike our previous Queen, I won't be teaching you lightly."

"Heh... call me Vulpeca... or General if you're stuck on formalities. I won't be King for very long once my true Queen returns, and it might make things a little awkward for you to keep calling me such out of habit."
Vulpeca offered up with his own smirk, watching as Heizen bowed even though the Demon couldn't stop smirking towards Vulpeca's words. The current Demon King laughed at his comment before lazily drawing the sword at his side, pointing it towards Heizen in a rather challenging motion.

"You have a grudge against the saiyans? Heh, good. We'll need that... because before long, we will be wiping their kind off this plane of existence. Now, I imagine you do have a training room? It would be poor manners of me to destroy your new home just for some training."
Vulpeca suggested, looking down towards the mansion then back up to Heizen with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

"How well can you control your thoughts? I mean, can you use telepathy?"
He asked seemingly out of the blue as he waited for Heizen to lead the way to wherever they would cause the least amount of damage.

Vulpeca floated down next to Heizen as he began his decent, walking with him towards the basement seemingly without a care in the world. He could very well have been walking into a trap but the Demon King didn't seem to be bothered by that fact at all. He didn't fully trust Heizen, he didn't fully trust anyone to be honest, but he knew that after helping him keep the throne, the Demon wouldn't be trying anything against him just yet.

Heizen went on to express his desire to destroy the Super Saiyans and Vulpeca simply nodded, thinking back on the saiyan that had spared his life during the ambush on Brench. It was going to be rather difficult to proceed when he owed him a favor... Hopefully he wasn't in the position of king the next time that they met one another.

<<It is indeed quite a large space, it'll be more than adequate for what I have to teach you. Now, seeing as you've never used telepathy, I want you to familiarize yourself with the sensation of my thoughts in your head. Most of the time, this is how the Queen and royal family before her would communicate. The Queen prefers a stealthy approach, so knowing how to project your thoughts is important.>>
Vulpeca spoke directly into heizen's mind, the fox demon's mouth never moving as he walked further into the training room, looking around himself once more before turning to face Heizen once more. His eyes locked on that of the Jackal Demon's and he smirked.

<<It's just like thinking the words to yourself, but then pushing then out of your head and thinking of who you want to receive those thoughts. You have to be able to feel their energy though, so start by trying to push into my mind, then I want you to try and sense someone you've met before in the living realm.>>

Will be taking zeni! =D

Heizen felt a powerful giddiness as he made contact with the Saiyan King. He seemed to get the knack of this trick really quickly, which made him feel really good about himself. He seemed to be learning quickly - which meant maybe it wouldn't be long until he would catch up to the Demon General. The stronger he got - the better for his plans to wipe out the Saiyans. And his plans to erase this Universe itself in favor of building it up from the ashes. Heizen was quiet as his eyes focused intently on his task. He enjoyed his little trick with the Saiyan King - expecting him to feel paranoia or at the very least a slight mistrust to his surroundings. A little doubt would have served him perfectly. Instead it seemed that Heizen was the fool - Nasu had not only been immune to the ruse but he was also now angered. It seems he had acquired some special new ability. How in the hell was he able to track Heizen's energy signature to Makai? It was impossible to sense him all the way from the other dimension, even with a connection like this! It worried the Demon a little, though also angering him. On top of that it seemed that the Saiyan King was planning on invading Makai. Could he even do that without a Demon to invite him? 

The thought concerned Heizen greatly. There was no way he knew about the in-fighting among the Demon Lords or Nakiya's resurrection. Which meant his reason for visiting was all too clear to the Jackal Demon. It seemed he was coming to destroy them. Before Heizen could make a chance to reply - the Saiyan King hung up rudely. "This means bad things for the future of Makai. I clearly have to step it up on my training if I hope too be ready. Whatever power he's attained... it must be frightening," Heizen thought with an annoyance. Just when he himself thought he was making progress - he was reminded of how much of a gap he had to overcome with the many warriors in the Universe. As he was lost in thought - Vulpeca entered his mind with a tone of annoyance. It seemed he hadn't realized by the Demon's silence that he was busy. "Yes I have seemed to gotten the hang of it, General. It seems the Saiyan King has the ability to sense our presence even while he's on the other side of the divide between their dimension and ours. He also claims to be trying to break that wall... likely to kill us all. 

I'm not sure how it's possible. I have to contact my Saiyan informant on Brench to see if there's something he neglected to tell me. It's been awhile since I've contacted my little minion... a low-class Halfling of our races...," Heizen called out to the general with his telepathy. This was a fun skill he realized. He would have a lot of fun using this. 

"I wonder how little Mizuna is doing...," he said smiling...

Heizen couldn’t quite understand Vulpeca’s frustration. He hadn’t goaded the Saiyan King into attacking.His goading actually proved beneficial into learning of the Saiyan King’s intentions. Though powerful - Nasu was far too blunt and honest about his plans. Now that they knew of the threat they could prepare. “You worry far too much, General. This attack was not caused by my harmless message. If he’s attacking it’s because of his long-standing hatred of our kind. This has been a long time coming.

Besides, I already happen to know he won’t come for us just yet. The Tree Of Might does not serve him much use here. He will be focusing on that before anything else and targeting a planet from the Living Realm to fuel his power,” Heizen said with a light chuckle. His informant had at least told him of that the last time he spoke.

“The best course of action isn’t to prepare the defense of Makai for an attack against a Saiyan King we cannot defeat. It’s to prep the attack on whatever planet he hopes to use to fuel it. The goodie two shoe defenders will likely oppose him - and in that moment is our best chance to kill him. Pitting the two forces against each other will ensure our survival..,” he said with a nasty, devilish grin widespread on the corners of his face. After that all was ripe for the taking. Heizen’s potential would be unlocked and the Universe weak at the knees to defend itself from his claim. Or so at least was his plan.

Heizen then powered up to his maximum power - wanting to continue his training. “Getting back on point now…,” he trailed off with his arms crossed. He watched as Vulpeca prepared the next attack for him - his eyes staring as the Demon King’s energy created a pulse from his hand. It was very similar to his Volcano Explosion - the ability to create a remote explosion… except not at all. It was more like a… signal. A bad signal that messed with the brain. Heizen groaned in pain as the Demon’s attack attacked his mind. Breathing heavy when it was over - the Jackal Demon forced a small smile. “An interesting technique indeed…,” he said with sincerity, though his voice seemed a little shaky. Raising his hand the Demon began to concentrate his energy - a tiny orb of energy growing before setting off a beam in the sky… that wasn’t right.

“Darn! Let me try that one more time…,” he said with gritted teeth… He would figure this out. It just would be a matter of patience for him. Instead of projecting his thoughts - he was creating a pulse… he had to think of sound waves. And shaping his energy into something similar…

Heizen listened to Vulpeca as the Demon General got short with him. It seemed that he was rather touchy about the whole subject. Heizen would have said something about the General's emotions if he didn't think it would get him killed. So he kept his tongue shut until he was ready to explain himself. He knew he was right. Vulpeca just couldn't see it because he was caught up in the experience. Heizen offered a fresh perspective on the matter.

"That's where you miscalculated then. I have yet to meet a Brenchian that could compare to even one of their Super Saiyans, let alone the Saiyan King himself. I myself have met some of their kind firsthand in combat on Earth for one of the Earthling's 'tournaments'. Including the Saiyan King himself. The Demons are not and have not been the driving power in the Universe for some time. You chose the wrong opportunity to attack," he said with a nod, not holding back on his words. "You lot were probably the strongest warriors on that planet when it was sieged. I've met some of Earth's so called 'protectors' at the World Tournament on Earth. They are far more sufficient for the kind of ambush strategy that we need. It's possible some of them are even stronger than the Queen herself," he said, nodding once more in assurance of himself. Most Demons would not dare question their superior, but Heizen was an intelligent Demon for all of his battle lust and strange antics. He knew battle strategy better than most. He had a special talent for it. If Vulpeca was wise he would listen to him. 

"And you're right. I wasn't there. If I had been I might have at least been able to kill one of their Super Saiyans. But it's for the best that I hadn't. They won't be expecting me the next time we strike. Even the Saiyan King does not know much of my abilities," he pointed out, letting out a low dark chuckle. He would have a lot of fun with this. He now had something to look forward too. He would prove his superiority over most of them by turning them into dust. He just had a bit more pushing to do if he wanted to keep up.

And it seemed to him that Vulpeca was the one who was going to help him do that. He was a good obstacle for the Demon to overcome. If he could surpass Vulpeca than he would be able to deal severe damage to their enemies when the day came. With him, Vulpeca, the Queen, Aya, and the other powerful Demons they all had a shot at doing some damage in this upcoming war. His senses flaring with warning signals as Vulpeca's power rose, with an incoming fireball at him, Heizen leapt up in the air avoiding it. His dark blue ki swirling in a shimmering aura around him. This was only the tip of the iceberg for his new power. Heizen then sidestepped the incoming sword slash. Spinning his body rapidly into a roundhouse kick that he hoped would knock in the Demon General's side and knock him back a ways.
