Snakes and Secrets - Nasu/Koma/Tomo [Flashback]

Even though the sparring wasn't them going at their full power it didn't mean they didn't go all out with their lower transformations and therefore, their sparring session had the intensity of a supernova, enough to satisfy Nasu's thirst for battle. Though, it still bothered him that Komatsu had displayed such an extreme power at the end of the Tournament of Power and he couldn't test it this time. Apparently it wasn't that easy to trigger, which was a shame, but hopefully some day - rather sooner than later - he would know how to tap into that intense heat once again and Nasu would be able to have a taste of the power that took a God of Destruction to stop. In any case, he felt refreshed. Even though he had sparred with Kinoko upon his return, and despite the fact she was crazy strong, stronger than most people, he still had to hold his punches, but with Komatsu he didn't hold back at all; he came at his younger brother with all the power he had available and using the most of his fighting skills. He was in a very good mood now.

Oddly, though, his mother sent him a message he only received after the spar. Asking Toru for the courtesy of escorting Natsu back to the Star Javelin, he was allowed to go meet Tomoroko inside the Saiyan Citadel. Nasu wasn't at his best of appearance. He had blood all over his face and some cracks in his armour and tears in his clothes, but he didn't care at all; if anything he held it with pride, the pride of a saiyan who was just walking out of battle. Some of the saiyans were staring at him with fear in their eyes. They knew him well. Nasu was the Overseer of all those saiyans not too long ago and when the faction split, those were the ones who decided to follow Komatsu. He smirked at the stares and just glanced at those saiyans, who were quick to look away. Nasu did nothing to hide his absurd power level and walked with pride.

As he approached this mysterious meeting place, he sensed a power level above that of the normal foot soldier, one that was clearly on a super saiyan tier. "Weird... I don't recognize anyone with that power from within our ranks... Who is this mysterious person?" he wondered and hastened his steps in order to reach the place sooner. Once there he saw a boy. No, he was already more a man than a boy and although Nasu was pretty sure he had never seen that face before, he looked familiar somehow. The King of All Saiyans narrowed his eyes as he stood a handful feet away from this man. "Who are you? Where is Tomoroko?" he asked with a tone filled with suspicion.

Something didn't feel right.

Komatsu followed not too far behind and once they reached the place where this mysterious yet oddly familiar looking saiyan boy was, he sensed his mother's ki signature approaching and stared in that direction almost at the same time as she landed and commented on their spar. Nasu shrugged, pretending to be bored, but the ones watching the spar knew he was far from bored when they went at it. "It was nothing. We were both holding back. We didn't go past Super Saiyan Two or this place wouldn't be standing anymore." he said with a mildly annoyed tone as usual. But after that small talk, she started introducing this boy as a former slave of the Planet Trade Organization. Nasu chuckled and cracked a smirk. "Than you can thank me later. I was the one who erradicated those scum!" he immediately added as Tomoroko mentioned his sad past under the chains of the brenchians. Nasu remembered his conquest with pride sparkling in his dark eyes.

But the smirk and pride vanished almost immediately as she stated that this saiyan was their half-brother and Nasu's expression became shocked and he went pale at the very instant. For a few seconds, he stood still, not showing any reaction, but inside his mind, everything was happening too fast and he was feeling overwhelmed by such a statement. Yet another mysterious sibling. Just what the fuck were their parents even thinking. To imagine the possibility of Kinoko having a child other than his. He would murder them all. And as his brain started to make some sense out of it, his expression changed. First he frowned his brows intensely, then he grit his teeth and finally, his aura exploded and the ground beneath his feet was obliterated, giving its place to a crater Nasu now floated above it. Bio-electricity run through his body, screeching angrily to match the rage in his heart.

His eyes, turning from dark to teal and then to dark again stared intensely at Tokibi and he could see why he looked familiar; he carried features from Tomoroko, but he didn't have any feature from Natto. Then, he glared at his mother and his rage just intensified. He pointed his index finger at her in an accusatory tone. "This thing is your BASTARD?!" he roared in anger. "You better start explaining this, Mother! Because I'm in the mood of repressing the truth!" and as he said that he glared once again at Tokibi, with his aura flaring from ghostly-white to golden; it was clear he was holding his anger the best he could so he wouldn't explode into super saiyan out of a sudden.

Nasu knew the boy was completely innocent in this matter, he had no way to choose how he was conceived or who his parents were, but the reason he was aiming his rage at him wasn't to hurt him, but to hurt his mother for her infidelity to their father. Nothing, in Nasu's mind, could justify this behaviour and when Komatsu showed himself to be so calm and collected and to ask why Nasu was so riled up with that, he glared at his younger brother with rage in his eyes. "Do you fucking have to ask?! This is unjustifiable! But I do want to hear what she has to say, so... Mother! Enlighten me!" he barked, turning his now more consistently black eyes to his mother as she began explaining the events that led to the existence of this kid. However, if Tomoroko was hoping to appease Nasu's ire with her words, it only made it worse. He couldn't believe what he was hearing and he shook his head in both shock and disgust. "Cambia?... Cambia?!... Her mother took YOUR form when dad bed her! Are you really that petty?!" he growled, gritting his teeth as he believe the situations were too distinguishable to even be possible to correlate them. But then something else sparkled. Of course he had heard about the tales of his parents adventures and missions before they became members of the Alliance, though he had to admit he heard more about his father's accomplishments than his mother, but he knew about their old squads and everything. On thing didn't really smell right in her explanation. "Mako?! Who the fuck is Mako?! I don't recall that name from your old squad! And don't try and bullshit me! I've read and heard about all the stories of when you guys were in the Empire! In case you forgot, that was the reason I even went rogue and conquered that planet for the Alliance when I was a teenager!" he pointed out, remembering how badly he was scolded for that behaviour back then.

Nasu had to stop to take a deep breath and then he folded his arms; he found it easier to keep his cool that way. His eyes were now focused on his mother, but they would dart towards Tokibi from time to time. He knew there was more to this fucked up story than she was letting on and he would now dig to the depths of it.

Tomoroko was feeling prosecuted and Nasu's behaviour didn't help her thinking otherwise, he was acting as an accuser and he was well aware with that and rather satisfied with this position. The more she tried to justify her actions, even by claiming Natto's flaws, she wasn't making things any better for her and Nasu immediately barked at her. "He may have been thinking with his cock, but you were thinking with your fucking head! And I will say when it is enough! I don't give a shit of how much this little shit here suffered! He is not immediately my brother just because you fucked someone!" he roared back at her but then he suddenly realized she spilled something out, something quite relevant: the actual name of the person.

Nasu stopped and widened his eyes for a moment. His gaze drifted away towards his own brother and then back at his mother. "No way..." but before he could say anything about it, Komatsu was the first one to say it out loud and Nasu couldn't believe she had fallen so low as to name her youngest son after her old squad member she had an affair and an offspring with. Even Komatsu, who was criticizing Nasu for being too hard on her for something that happened nearly twenty years ago, became cold towards her. As he recovered from the shock a little bit, the bastard son of Tomoroko was overwhelmed by all of it and decided to take his leave. Nasu scoffed at that as he watched him go before turning back to his mother with a still angered expression, but he now looked more disappointed than anything else.

"You named my brother after your lover, after you fucked him? This is sick... This is disgusting!" he growled, gritting his teeth and clenching both his fists in anger. "Why... I... I can't even begin to understand why you did all of this, mother... Please, explain it to me in a way that does not make me hate you!" he was truly taking it hard and there was no way he would be able to forget about it easily; his family was indeed a very complicated one and he couldn't deny it, but by now he thought there was nothing left to it.

Clearly, he was wrong.
