When Cambia grasped the hilt of the Sacred Sword, Atsuko gave a small nod in response to the hybrid's comment, and proceeded to step back. Then... Nothing happened, at least not outwardly. The half demon gave numerous warnings about not rooting around. "Yeah, yeah. I know what I'm doing. You think this is the first time I've dealt with a different style of wielder?", the golden sword nonchalantly replied, and then she turned the subject towards the tallying up that the younger sister did earlier. "Going to guess most of them were Human, by the way. Means you had two advantages over them."
Excalibur added. "Saiyan heritage, and Demonic heritage. Just one of them holds a crazy amount of power, a mix? It's no wonder you've killed that many. But it's not out of the ordinary.", the golden sword finished. However, Cambia was so worried about the Sacred Sword not rooting around in her memories that it... Became a little difficult to not do that. Excalibur found herself thrust into one of the earliest memories that Cambia could recall; she must have been about four years old at the time, she had spent so long wandering lost only to eventually end up at the orphanage she would later burn down...
It did sound like it was quite a harsh thing for the hybrid to do at first, but this memory elaborated as to why that happened. People just took one look at Cambia and then they shoved her into a windowless room, she was kept there for exorcism ritual after exorcism ritual. Why? Because she looked different, she wasn't able to hide her traits as a Demon. Well, that and she did have a violent streak due to her Saiyan blood. It meant that she had to be restrained during the exorcisms.
It was easy to lose track of the time even if it was an adult that went through this, for a child? It was nothing short of a pure living hell. Where Atsuko had received patience and understanding for her instincts, Cambia received nothing but fear and hatred. There was eventually a point where the Priest that was conducting all these rituals just... Gave up. The half demon wasn't going to change because she wasn't possessed, and it wasn't something that could be forcefully hidden away. It seemed like a rather hopeless and lonely situation for anyone to be put in.
However, Excalibur received the first hint that someone was manipulating the events in the hybrid's life... An unknown voice that told her to simply play nice with the other children. Everything else was something that Atsuko and Excalibur already knew; that Cambia was bullied practically every single day and received no sympathy from the people that were supposed to look after her and keep her safe. It all culminated when she hit the age of eight and burned down that orphanage. After that, Cambia just set off onto a lonesome road. Several years of wandering the world and making use of whatever shelter she could find.
Picking up whatever scraps of food that she could. The other notable event is, of course, when she came across that Temple and slaughtered the lot of Monks in order to retrieve the sword she wields today. The half demon spent the entirety of her life alone and surviving off of nothing but instinct alone, save for the few times that voice chimed in, in order to 'help' the hybrid along in her aimless journey. When Cambia's memories began to settle to the wayside, Excalibur could then feel two presences lingering within the hybrid.
One was unmistakably that strange voice. Just who was it? Was it someone related to Cambia? It was a possible theory, but the Sacred Sword wasn't going to ask about it nor make any implications that she knew... At least, not yet. That brought her to the second presence she felt, this one was much smaller. Infantile was an accurate word to use because that's exactly what it was; Cambia was with child. It was a bit of a shocking revelation for the golden sword. "Er... Cambia, I think there's something you need to know. You too, Atsuko."
The Albino Saiyan arched a brow. "What is it?", she inquired. The Sacred Sword took a moment to compose herself... This was going to be quite the bombshell either way. "Cambia, you're pregnant. I'm going to guess that it was ah... Due to your relationship with the Saiyan Prince.", Excalibur explained. The Knight had closed her eyes at this point as she smiled, though much like before... It wasn't a smile born out of kindness. "I'm going to make him into a eunuch if I ever see him again.", the Albino Saiyan stated without hesitation. She really didn't need more reasons to hate Athren.
But they just kept stacking up. Atsuko proceeded to let out a sigh, bringing herself back under control... "...How are you feeling, Cambia?", she inquired. Just after, the golden sword chimed in once more. "From what I can tell, she's perfectly healthy. Same for the kid, too. There wasn't any issues with forming the connection. There's a few things that I need to go over, but... That can wait until later, I think.", the Sacred Sword responded. Atsuko gave a small nod in reply. "That's good... So... What happens now?", the Albino Saiyan then says in a somewhat concerned tone of voice.
"Well, at the moment Cambia shouldn't have any issues training and fighting. But she does need to be careful from this point on, aside from that it might be a good idea to focus on forming our Martial Arts Style... You're going to want the skill to protect your now expanding family, Atsuko.", the Sacred Sword replied. It was all true, Atsuko had even more a reason to improve herself. There was going to be a point where her little sister would be put out of commission, and even when she was more able....
Taking care of a child was an incredibly lengthy task. The Knight's little sister might not be able to focus very much on training as a result.
WC: 1,028 Total WC: 7,918 ____________________________ Cambia's memories written with the help and approval of her player, of course!
As the sword entered her grasp, at first nothing seemed to happen. Cambia was about to ask something, then all of a sudden she felt this massive pressure bearing down on her like a metric ton of bricks! She thought for sure that her body was going to buckle under from the sheer weight that was surrounding her, but when she looked to her legs they were still upright and unbent.
That's when she started to feel something dancing around inside her head, poking around her nooks and crannies. Oh now who is this hmm? whispered a feminine sound as Excalibur brushed against her. The demonic Saiyan tried to snarl, externally and internally but her body wasn't hers to command and the sheer weight of both of them against her mind was causing her to freeze up.
When Excalibur used her mouth to speak and inform them about her pregnancy, the blonde hybrid managed to wrest enough control of her body to move her hand protectively over her stomach. Oh that is wonderful news. I'm going to be a grand- began the whisper whilst Excalibur and Atsuko were talking before Cambia's power suddenly spiked around her, her aura flaring up like someone had poured gasoline onto a bonfire. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!" she roared, addressing the pair of voices inside of her mind, her hand holding Excalibur dropping the holy sword from her grasp.
Once Excalibur was clear from her mind, the demonic Saiyan would glare with a fury into the distance below the Lookout. "You keep your talons away from my baby, you understand me you bitch?! Or I swear, I am going to shove my sword so far down your throat you'll think you're taking it up your ass!" she snarled externally and internally, both her Saiyan pride, demonic territorial nature combining with her instincts as a mother to be, forming a massive fury inside her. The blonde hybrid felt the presence dwindle for now till it was practically non-existent.
With that taken care of, she rounded her focus to the golden sword and the spirit that lay within it. "And I told you to not go digging around inside my damned head!" Cambia growled, collecting her own sword back into her hand from where she'd sheathed it. The newly announced mother to be looked about ready to try and use her sword to try and break Excalibur... but she satisfied herself with simply channeling her anger and rage into her swords edge, before then firing it up into the atmosphere as another black and red arc of destructive energy. The demonic Saiyan stood there, panting slightly before she held her head and groaned.
"Great... now she's met Excalibur... that's just bloody perfect." Cambia grumbled before she sighed and looked back to the pair of them, assuming that Excalibur had reformed herself into a humanoid shape once more. "That, was my mother. And now, thanks to you she knows I'm pregnant with the child of a Saiyan Prince, and that you are out in the world. Congratulations, you may have just royally fucked up the Lookout, and possibly the world even more than the Saiyans ever possibly could." she snarled, pointing a finger at the Atsuko clone in red. "I told you not to go rooting around in my skull!"
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
The explosion came quickly and suddenly, Cambia gathered her energy and began to shout for both voices to leave her mind at once. She proceeded to drop the Sacred Sword. It was after this that Excalibur began to reform into her human shape. The hybrid was currently more focused with whoever that whispering voice was. It was something that left both the woman in red and the Knight confused. Neither of them had any real guesses as to who it was because the half demon had the tendency to hide these things and only ever reveal them at the worst possible times.
The hybrid turned her attention to the Sacred Sword now that the mysterious presence had been dealt with. "It's not that simple!", the woman in red responded as Cambia fired off another arc of red and black energy off into the atmosphere. "Can you just... Tell us what's going on?", the Albino Saiyan made her appeal, and it either worked, or the younger sister decided to tell them of her own accord, either way they were about to get the answers they both wanted. That wasn't just some random presence, it was Cambia's mother. That explained a lot, she fit the bill perfectly.
No one else had any real reason to manipulate events in the half demon's life like that other than her. The hybrid had a really cynical way of viewing things, and was naturally angry that someone had rooted around in her head. But the woman in red stood her ground despite this. "Like I said, it's not that easy! Stop raging around as you often do and think about it for a moment. Or rather, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH!", the Sacred Sword shouted back. "Bloody idiot, the more you thought about it being so important for me to not find out..."
She began her explanation... "The more it was forcing me into those memories! No one plunged them into me but you! After that little mess I was able to focus on what I originally wanted to do, and that was make sure you were healthy, like I assumed you would be despite holding me! Not my fault that you didn't tell me Demon Queen was rooting around inside of you, too! Or that she could hear me even despite the secrecy I was trying to use!", the woman in red spared little of her anger.
"Look, are you two done having your shouting match? We can't change what happened, and trying to break it down into a game of 'whose fault it is' isn't going to get us anywhere. All we can do now is prepare for the future. That's something we needed to do anyway. We can turn on each other, or we can stick together against our common foes.", the Knight lectured the bickering pair. Excalibur proceeded to let out a sigh as she crossed her arms, but she nodded in agreement. "You're right. So that brings me to my next point..."
The Sacred Sword focused her gaze onto Cambia. "I'm sorry. I really didn't have any intention of digging into your memories like that, but the more my wielder focuses on something, the more I am forced to do the same. It's meant to be a symbiotic relationship. Your problems are mine, and my problems are yours, do you understand?", the woman in red gave her apology and much calmer explanation of what had happened. The simple truth remained that there was no changing everything that took place, however. She didn't fear Cambia's Mother, either. And it was a pretty good chance that Atsuko didn't as well.
"Good. Now we all just need to relax, our enemies want us to be weakened mentally and physically. They want us to try and break off on our own and refuse to work as a team. If we fall for it? That means their chances of doing... Whatever it is they want, is that much more likely. Cambia, you know me. I'm going to help you, like I always have. Excalibur is going to do the same. We're not your enemies, that would be the Saiyans and apparently, your mother as well.", the Knight finished.
Things really could just never go smoothly, could they? It seemed that the Albino Saiyan had to be the voice of reason in all of this. "In light of everything, I think we need to stick to Excalibur's plan; we need to train. Harder than we ever have before. Raw power isn't going to cut it. The little test we just performed did prove one thing... Her energies don't harm you, Cambia. If anything, she could probably help you keep your Mother out of your head. If there's any objections about any of this, we need to go over them now."
The Knight finished, looking to both Excalibur and to Cambia. The woman in red didn't have anything to say in objection. "I'd like to work with her... But I can't make her. So what do you think, Cambia?", Excalibur asked as she peered over to the half demon once more. Seems there wasn't much else to be said until they had the younger sister's thoughts on all of this. Atsuko was really starting to feel like she needed a vacation of some sort at this rate... But the opportunity simply wasn't presenting itself. She had training to do.
And there was little that would distract her from doing it.
"Oh please don't give her ego a boost, that's the last bloody thing she needs right now." said Cambia, rolling her eyes. "My mother's no Demon Queen. She's a very powerful Succubus yes, but she's not that level of power..." she said, looking away from the two of them for the moment. "That's what I was born for... Ros'alinth wanted a Spawn of her own, to increase her powerbase. And our daddy dearest offered one right to her." the hybrid explained.
She then glowered at the Spirit of the Sword. "And for a Holy Weapon dating back... how many centuries? You seem to kinda be lacking on demonic knowledge. You knew I was half demon. What the hell did you think that meant in terms of demons eh?" Cambia inquired of Excalibur. "Of course she was in my damn skull. But I've got her pushed back to the very back of my head, to the recesses of my mind... Then you went poking around in it after I told you not to! You poking around forced me to lapse on her to focus on you, and Succubi are renowned for sneaking in where they aren't wanted." snarled the demonic Saiyan.
Cambia quickly held up a finger. "You never mentioned anything about any symbiosis thing. How the hell was I supposed to know that me trying to keep you out of my memories would push you into them?" asked the blonde hybrid. She let out an exasperated breath as Atsuko gave one of her seemingly prepared speeches. One of those scrolls from past Kami's must have had a whole list of these things, just fill in the gaps as appropriate. "My mother's a bit more... complicated than the Saiyans." she said with a sigh, walking back towards the Lookout's Palace.
"She's not here in this realm, hasn't been for the last sixteen years. After I was born, she returned to the Demon Realm, or Hell I forget which. Or got banished there... again, I don't remember." Cambia said as she sat herself down on the armrest of the broken throne. "She's not something either of you two can fight... she's mine to deal with. Alone. Even if you," she said, looking at Excalibur, "went poking around my head to try and help, no offense, but I'm willing to bet she's been playing mind games a lot longer than you have." said the blonde hybrid before sighing.
The demonic Saiyan looked at her older sister. "I'll handle my personal demons. No sense in dragging you two into my side of our strange family." she said, her hand moving to cradle her stomach, still flat but now very much aware of the life growing inside of her. "I will not let her near my child..." Cambia growled.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Excalibur proceeded to shrug. "Again, how was I supposed to know any of that? 'Don't go delving into my demons' is a thing people say in reference to their sins, or crimes! Or at least they perceive them to be as such! You're only half Demon so it could have just as easily been anything!", the Sacred Sword made her rebuttal. So this Demon; now known to be a Succubus... Was named Ro'salinth. It definitely fit a lot better than 'mysterious presence' or 'whispering voice'. The Knight and the Sacred Sword both noted down that name, they would be enemies from this point on.
The hybrid then turned the discussion towards the fact that Excalibur worked upon a symbiotic relationship. "I assumed it was fairly obvious, to start with. I know a lot about Atsuko. But besides that... It's not as if you gave me any time to explain it, either. You just placed all the importance on your thoughts and then grabbed me! Honestly... It doesn't even matter whose fault it is because we can't change what already happened.", the woman in red added. This whole song and dance was starting to get a little old... But thankfully it seemed like they were going to stop pointing fingers now.
So their conversation turned to how Ro'salinth was not the common type of enemy such as the Saiyans. Cambia made the boast that she had been playing mind games for longer than Excalibur had. "That doesn't matter. My entire purpose is for fighting Demons, in case you forgot? That includes Succubi. If she tries to go to war against me, or whoever wields me, it's not going to go in her favor.", the woman in red was quick to shoot that down. It wasn't enough to convince the younger sister, of course.
The Knight was the next to chime in on the subject. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I'm not going to run scared from any enemy. Tell you what... I'll let you handle it when you can beat me.", the Albino Saiyan then pointed to her little sister's stomach. "And just in case I need to remind you, that will be a difficult feat to accomplish while you're looking after a child! Unless you seriously intend to put them at risk while you're pregnant, and then just leave them here while you going off to fight a personal war."
Atsuko crossed her arms. "If she comes here, I can handle her. Excalibur will light the way for me, too. Her trickery isn't going to work. So that brings us to you. YOU need to stay where it's safe. No more running off and getting into crazy fights. The Lookout is the safest possible place that you can be at, because this is where the Z Fighters have made their headquarters! Besides that, Arion is here too. I'm going to wager that he would know how to detect a Demon even if they're a master of disguising themselves, too."
The Knight then leans a little closer to Cambia. "You know how stubborn I get, you're not talking me out of this. If you're not going to let me handle the fight, then you're sure as hell going to let me help you! We are not splitting up to fight wars on multiple fronts. We stick together or we die alone. That's that.", the Albino Saiyan finished as she continued to stare her little sister in the eye. "I agree. Our course of action is clear, we just have to commit to it.", the Sacred Sword added to Atsuko's words.
How well Cambia would listen to either of them, however, was a different story. "Just let me help you, alright? Even if you don't want to drag us into it, I'm making the conscious decision to fight alongside you. I'm not a child for you to just tell 'no' to. You're my family, nothing is going to change that.", the Super Saiyan finished. One could practically see the determination in her facial expression and her eyes. It was different from before, as well. She wasn't consumed by her rage or her wrath. This was something she truly wanted to do.
Cambia would have a hell of a time trying to talk her out of it at this rate...
"How was it obvious?" asked Cambia, looking at Excalibur somewhat bewildered at her. "You've seen my memories, how often have I come across magical talking holy swords?" quipped the demonic Saiyan. "And as for you knowing a lot about Atsuko... you were in the same place as one another for, how long again?" she asked her rhetorically. And of course then came the speech from Excalibur about fighting demons. "In a straight up fight, you would probably win. But my mother doesn't fight straight... plus, you'd have to find her first." she said, before pouting at her older sister's declaration.
"Hey, I almost did the first time we met, and that was before you got all golden glowing super powered." Cambia pointed out towards her half-sister. "And plus, if you think you can keep me locked up here just cus I'm suddenly pregnant... well, I have broken out of cells before." she said before holding up a finger to forestall any comebacks on that point. "Without having to use any demon or Saiyan abilities." the demonic Saiyan smirked. "You're not the only stubborn one here big sister." she said.
Of course then there was the sappy family moment that the holy knight was so fond of. Cambia sighed and closed her eyes, shaking her head a little at them. "...Fine. You can help out." said the demonic Saiyan, a smirk on her face. "You get baby clean up duty when they finally arrive." said the blonde hybrid before looking at Excalibur.
"I'd lump you with it, but you'd just escape by turning back into a sword." she smirked before her expression turned serious. "But if you're serious... then you can best help by helping me get stronger, quickly. I'm not going to let you Super Saiyans take all the glory. Besides, I already called dibs on my mother a long time ago. Plus," she said, tapping her stomach, "I've got more reason than you do to take her out. You can play with whatever minions she sends out during the fight. And trust me, she'll more than make you welcome."
I'll take PL for this :3
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Excalibur rolled her eyes lightly. "Okay, so we both made a lot of assumptions. Let's both agree that we didn't handle things the best way?", the Sacred Sword asked with a small shrug. "If she's going to hide, it doesn't sound like she's very much of a problem. I doubt that whoever she sends in her place is going to be much of a concern.", the woman in red quickly dismissed Ro'salinth as a threat... Though to be fair, she is quite possibly the oldest living Demon Slayer at this point. If anyone could hope to match the threats a Demon posed...
It was probably the Sacred Sword. After all that, the half demon then addressed the points that the Albino Saiyan made, it was all fair enough... It's not like Atsuko could just keep her locked up here, and she didn't have any intention to do so. But the hybrid began to ease up a little and concede that they could help out. Still, the Knight had a few things she wanted to say in response. "Back then, I was using weighted equipment. Which brings me to the next point...", the Knight assumes proper posture as she lightly smiles.
"If you want to get stronger fast, that's a good way to start.", Atsuko states, and then the woman in red speaks next. "If you really want to turn the tide, you'll let me train you, too. I'll be the first to admit that you're not half bad with that sword of yours... But you're talking to someone that is literally a sword practically all the time! There's more than a few handy tricks you can learn.", the woman in red then calmly points at Cambia. "It's not like you're going to have to wait very long, either. By my calculations I'll be able to teach everything I know to Atsuko soon!"
With that, Excalibur proceeded to let out another haughty laugh. "Alright. I'll make sure nothing interrupts the fight between you and Ro'salinth... But if you start losing, I'm going to jump in and help you out.", the Knight declares without hesitation, staring Cambia directly in the eyes.... But then her expression eases as she smiles again. "So it's pretty clear what you have to do, don't start losing to her... I don't even need to tell you that.", the Knight finished. With that it seemed like the plans for the future were set in motion...
The Albino Saiyan needed to save up a bit of a small fortune, there was no talking Excalibur out of the necessity of a Dojo and an official license for a Martial Arts School, she found it a bit silly personally. But in the end it would just make things better anyway... After all, that type of setting and training equipment would make it easier to teach others. She already had one student in mind; her own little sister. Cambia wasn't one of the most willing participants, to say the least. But it was a start.
Maybe she'd be more willing once they actually had everything figured out...
