The saiyan return to the Lookout [OPEN - Revival]

With Bernael still on the lookout for the time being, his gaze would slowly shoot to the form of Komatsu, the boy that he had a hand in killing back when the lookout had been attacked. A pit feeling dropped into his stomach as he looked on in anguish. He had so many regrets not, he laughed at the poor kid... he took pride in the death of the boy. How could have he been so devilish back then, he didn't even take in the fact of the kids age at the time. "Oh no......" he would say, gulping lightly before clenching his fists lightly and slowly walking over there.

He didn't want to attack the poor kid... he didn't want a hand in his death again if this was truly his revival. Why was he brought here? Were the dragon balls used? If so then why wasn't the lookout fully fixed, where was blue? Or was this just some vision that he was seeing, reminding him of the time he had a hand in killing the poor kid. "K-Komatsu...?" he would say out, reaching his hand towards the boy as he would finally arrive near him. He wanted to make sure the boy was real... if the boy was alive, perhaps all of this drama in the back of his head would finally be over. But that was of course only if this was nothing less than true reality. "Is that really you... are you back...?" was all he said, still reaching out.

Atsuko rose from her throne when she heard Komatsu call for her. So he did come back with her! He must be right where he died after all... The Knight begins to make her way outside to find that the place was still a bit of a mess... It always took some getting used to, she wanted to see it back into perfect condition soon. But more than that, she saw Bernael. He was the first to notice that Komatsu had come back somehow, though the half demon didn't entirely seem to believe his own eyes, and was looking for some sort of confirmation that he was real...

The Albino Saiyan calmly walks over. "He's real, Bernael. I... Have a lot to tell you.", the Saiyan comments as she stands next to Komatsu. "It's going to be a bit of a long story, so... I apologize in advance.", the Knight added, then taking a deep breath. There really was a lot to go over, and she wasn't entirely certain how Bernael would react to it all. But it had to be said, she would keep no secrets from her allies. If they ended up changing their views on her... There was nothing to be done about that.

"I was summoned by King Yemma to Other World. There, I met my parents. Natto and Tomoroko, of the Saiyan Alliance. I also learned that Komatsu is my little brother.", the Saiyan began to tell the tale of everything that happened. "The name that they gave me is Kimiko... But people can refer to me with either name, and yes... My relation to Komatsu means that Nasu is my brother as well. I was not a Saiyan born in the Empire, but instead of the Saiyan Alliance.", the Knight continued on. How was he going to react?

She had to admit it was a little frightening for her to think about, she held admiration for Bernael, after all. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions... I'll try my best to answer them all.", the Saiyan then bowed her head slightly. It wasn't that she was ashamed of her bloodline... But Nasu attacked the Lookout, he was a threat to Earth, and given that she just learned her origins, it was reasonable for anyone to doubt her now. But if she hid it, and it came out some other way... It would only get worse.

Atsuko wasn't going to allow that to come to pass. Even if it meant that people couldn't trust her anymore, and even went so far as to view her as an enemy... The Knight wasn't going to hide the truth of it all, it would be unfair to her parents, and just as unfair to Komatsu. She was going to try her best to look after him, Atsuko turns her gaze to her little brother. "Don't worry, I won't let another fight start. We've all had enough of fighting for awhile. We need to focus on rebuilding...", the Knight explained quietly.

It was pretty clear that there was going to be a lot of repairing to do, she correctly assumed that Komatsu already noticed just how out of hand things had gotten in his absence.

Cambia groaned as she slowly came to, one hand going to her head, the other towards her belly. "Urgh... never... again..." she grumbled, slowly rising up from her bed in the Lookout, her hand going from her belly to rest on the surface to try and give herself some kind of support. "So..." began the demonic Saiyan as she slowly rotated herself out of her bed, her feet touching the floor, "this is what a hangover feels like... not sure I like it... urgh." she grunted, pushing herself up out of the bed, leaning against the wall as she tried to orientate herself.

After drinking the Sacred Holy Water, she couldn't remember much of what happened afterwards... only that it hurt like nothing she had ever felt before. That's all she could remember, was the blinding pain and then darkness. "Must've blacked out..." she muttered, before doing a quick check with her Ki Sense to check on the baby growing inside of her, letting out a sigh of relief when she could still feel the tiny life clinging on. She rubbed her belly softly before deciding to head outside and check on stuff. Part of her wanted to crawl back into her bed and stay there till this headache went away, but that wouldn't agree with her.

So on she walked, slowly putting her clothes on as she stumbled out into the daylight, grumbling at the view of it all. "Urgh... someone turn down the sun a bit would ya?" the blonde hybrid asked, noticing a small group ahead, one of them she could recognise through her holy water induced hangover as her sister.

The others looked familiar but right now her brain wasn't computing just yet all the information. Instead, she lurched her way over until she could rest a hand on her older sister's shoulder, trying to use her as a support mechanism. "That stuff you've got," Cambia started to say, "I am never touching again. Baby's fine, I checked before coming out." she said in anticipating of that question.

The demonic Saiyan looked at the others that were gathered here, peering at one in particular. "Oh hey... you got back sooner than I thought..." she said as she recognised Komatsu, barely. He looked a little different than how she remembered, but then again last time she'd seen him wasn't with a monster of a hangover so, that's something.

She peered at him a little more before looking to Atsuko. "Thought we needed those dragon balls or something to get his furry backside back here? Did he bust out? Can only imagine the look on the warden's face if that's the case." she said with a snicker before she gripped her head a little more. "You sure that stuff you gave me was actually sacred holy water, and not some previous Kami's personal home made moonshine?" asked Cambia of her older sister, grumbling as she held her head.

Bernael's hand would slowly recoil back. "Uh... sorry" he said when the boy saiyan told him to back off. He didn't want to start trouble... he didn't want anybody to die like that day. It was all a terrible day and reliving it would be the last thing they needed. Especially considering him dropping out of his transformation finally, he regretted absolutely everything and this certainly wasn't a way to go about showing that he was sorry.

However it was then that Atsuko came out, and said that she needed to say something. "It's alright... don't be sorry about stories.." he would say to her in a sort of quiet but easy to hear tone, more worried as to why a sorry was needed. However once the story was done being told, it felt like a thorn was pierced through Bernael's heart. He didn't hate her for being their family, he didn't hate her at all actually. Not a single bit of him was filled with disdain for those saiyans anymore to be entirely honest with himself, unless they were to attack once more he would be mostly fine with them all.

But... what was piercing through his thoughts, his entire being for the time being. Was how he had killed one of Atsuko's family members, of course he wasn't alone in the attack but his had the most force put behind it at the time and it certainly wasn't just some kiddie shot aimed to injure, it was meant full out to murder and kill anybody. He wanted to kill the saiyan boy back then, he reveled in the death of the boy jumping in the way of the attack, it was glorious to him. As everyone else felt terrible, even those who weren't apart of the attack, he was standing there with a smirk on his face, laughing it all off as some pitiful game of life and death. As others like Cambia and a boy he had never met before jumped in, and without his knowing another lurked nearby... he would just sit there and let them talk, lost in his own thoughts.

"Incorrect actually... I... I only have one question...." he would say, gripping his fists lightly. He was talking in a low tone that wasn't really meant to be loud or whiney in any way. It was more backed by a low tone with self anger behind it. "I'm... I'm so sorry... I took part in your family dying... and I even... took joy in it at the time...." he would say, keeping his tone as he looked to the ground before he looked at both Atsuko and Komatsu. "...Can either of you two forgive me.... at all...? I understand if I can't be forgiven ever for what I did... but I am truly sorry..." he would say, still gripping his fists so hard that his fingers hard started to dig in enough to cause slight blood loss draining from his palms.

Bernael didn't go to wipe off his hands however, just staring towards the two with regret and self hatred in his eyes, not wanting to directly look either of the two in the eyes, possibly feeling that it would be dishonorable to do so especially if they didn't find him worthy enough to do so.

Atsuko turned her gaze to Cambia when she arrived on the scene... Her little sister looked like she had spent the entire night drinking strong alcohol, which probably wasn't very far off from how she was feeling. The Knight was amazed that Cambia and Leena both actually drank the Sacred Holy Water. The effects of the liquid would take a bit of time before they would start to show, but she definitely knew that when they were in top condition, they would be stronger than they were before. After all, that's how it worked for the Albino Saiyan, there was little reason to doubt it.

The hybrid proceeded to swear off of drinking the water ever again, which was good! Someone could only drink the water once, she had read about that during her studies. Anymore than that and it wouldn't serve any real benefit, it'd just be hellishly painful and risking their life for no reason... Although, the water still had purifying properties. Atsuko chose to keep that in mind for the future, it may be incredibly useful one day. The little sister then asked about how Komatsu was back so soon, it was a pretty fair question, and a bit of a long story...

"He didn't break out. He... Well, his parents called in a favor. They were able to bring him back to life, I was called there by King Yemma in order to help with the process because...", the Knight began her explanation to the younger sister. "It turns out, I'm the Daughter of Natto and Tomoroko. Which means that Komatsu is... Our little brother. Nasu is related to us as well.", the Albino Saiyan continued. There was one last thing that she wanted to say before Cambia began to speak once more. It was something Atsuko deemed important.

"He asked about you, how you were doing. Our Father, that is. He never wanted to abandon you, or me... Any of us.", the Knight then made a small gesture to Komatsu. "But I digress... That's why he's back now.", the Albino Saiyan finished, then turning her gaze to Bernael. He seemed to hate himself for everything that happened, but the Saiyan proceeded to shake her head. "What happened is just as much my fault; we both saw an enemy in Athren and tried to strike him down...", the Knight said in attempts to comfort the half demon.

"I still see him like that... If I ever had to fight him again one day, I don't know what I would do. It's still easy to lose control when I think about him.", the Saiyan stated. A brief moment of her eyes and hair flickering into a glow, but just as suddenly it had stopped. "So I forgive you... And I don't think that Komatsu holds it against us, either. He made his choice and knew the consequences of it.", the Albino Saiyan added, and then she turned her gaze to her little brother. "Please don't do anything like that again."

The concerned elder sister made her request. "I know you had your reasons, but Athren is... He's too far gone. I tried to resolve things peacefully so that we could work together in bringing you back. Well...", the Knight then gestured to the Lookout. "This was the result. He tried to destroy our home after agreeing that he 'wouldn't kill anyone'... If you still feel that you have to, I won't press on the issue anymore. But he's changed now, I saved his life once and he did all of this. I don't want you to get hurt."

The Albino Saiyan finished, she then directs her gaze to the currently invisible Leena. "By the way, I can still hear your thoughts, Leena. I think it's about time you stopped hiding.", Atsuko stated to the Saiyan Bounty Hunter. Being invisible to the naked eye and suppressing Ki down low enough that you couldn't be seen was potent, to be certain. But the Albino Saiyan had a final means of being able to detect those around her; Telepathy. She made a habit of forming connections with those that became aligned in the defense of Earth. Besides that... Excalibur insisted on being able to talk to Leena over long distances.

One could blame Excalibur for this, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong...

The demonic Saiyan blinked at Atsuko for a moment, grumbling as she held her head. "That Holy Water of yours must still be doing a number on my skull... coulda sworn I just heard you say we were related to Komatsu and Nasu for a second." said Cambia, groaning as the headache persisted throughout her head. She grumbled as she tried to fight it off, going for a drink from her personal flask, thinking that maybe a fresh drink will stave off the effects of the Sacred Holy Water rummaging around in her skull.

She grunted for a moment as others were talking, Komatsu even saying it would've been a waste of the Dragon Balls wish. Cambia shrugged. "Well, it was gonna be worded as "reverse the damage done by the Saiyan's attack on the Lookout" which would've revived you, that blue guy and also fixed this place up as if nothing had happened." explained Cambia, before looking back at her older sister. "Seriously though... you're telling me that we've got the same dad, and apparently in your case, same mother as them?" she inquired, grumbling as she shook her head.

The half-breed slowly began to chuckle, growing into full blown laughter. "As if our lives weren't screwed up enough! So... let me see if I've got this straight. This Natto and Tomo first had Nasu, then you, then shipped you off to Earth, then Natto screws with my mother, I get shipped off, and then he has Komatsu here with Tomo... fast foward to recently, I cut off my older half-brother's tail and then you and the others vaporise our younger half-brother... well, actual brother for you, half for me." summarised the blonde demonic Saiyan. "And to top it off, apparently our shared daddy had never wanted to abandon either of us and asked after me in the Afterlife. I can't imagine that went down particularly well with your mother." she said, looking at Atsuko and Komatsu.

She walked off for a bit, trying to wrap her head around all this before the name clicked. "Natto, as in Planet Natto, as in the Saiyan Alliance?" asked Cambia before she gave a short laugh. "So, dad was a big shot Saiyan who split from the Empire and made his own group. Figures, mother never did go for small-timers." she said before looking to Atsuko. "Did he know or even care we existed before he got his ass killed?" she asked her older sister, her temper slowly rising at all of this information being given to her. "Did he even try to find us? To find his daughter he so cared about he asked about from beyond the grave?" Cambia asked, the clouds overhead in the sky parting to show off the red star that hung in the distant air.

"He was ruler of an entire government, and he said he never wanted to abandon me... where the hell was he then?!" roared the blonde hybrid, her energies rising around her body. Her teeth bared themselves in a feral snarl as she spoke. "Not once did I ever see a single damn Saiyan growing up on this fucking planet, not once did anyone even try to find me! I went through a living hell, and he expects me to what?" she asked her half-sister who'd actually spoken with him. "What does Natto expect me to do eh?! Forgive him for what he put me through?!" the demonic Saiyan snarled, her body shifting and twisting under the influence of the red star hanging in the sky, her rage and fury warping and rising along with it.

Her body began to grow in size, her flesh turning ashen and dark even as spikes and scales appeared to rise from it. Her blonde tail also began to mutate, looking more armoured and vaguely reptillian as she became clearly far more demonic in appearance. Her teeth became more pointed and sharp, resembling something far more carnivorous, her pupils narrowing into slits, and her hair shifted as well into hardened armour plating. "He can't even use the excuse of him being dead to cover himself! He had Komatsu after me with your mother, so he had three years. THREE! YEARS!" the now far more demonic looking Saiyan roared, her voice growing deeper and more malevolent as her power and mutation surged around her. Cracks started to form in her flesh, red energy radiating and crackling from the exposed lines.

"He said he didn't want to abandon me?!" roared Cambia as she glared at the group, her tail slamming into the Lookout's floor breaking several tiles. She swung her arm through the air in the general direction of the group, a surge of ki energy firing out of instinct from her limb in an arc as she roared into the air. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! I DON'T BELIEVE HIM! HE LEFT ME TO ROT! HIS MISTAKE! HIS SHAME!" the demonic Saiyan yelled, before she tilted her head back and let loose an ear-piercing shrieking roar that caused an eruption of fire and ki energy around her in a sphere that formed a crater around her in the Lookout's floor. "HE ABANDONED ME AND EXPECTS ME TO FORGIVE HIM FOR IT NOW HE'S DEAD?!"

Bernael would shutter a bit, holding onto his right arm as his eyes would go a bit wide. Were they really going to let it be alright that easily...? Atsuko didn't even say a single mean thing towards him for enjoying it all, seeing it as something they both did due to the circumstances. Bernael could accept that... but he had helped kill Komatsu so he needed to hear it from Komatsu in some way or form before he was accepting any of it. "R-Really..." the demon would say, dropping his arm from his hand as he would smirk gently. So, he was in the clear more or less, the boy wasn't even mad at him in any way, and the demonic human hybrid could honestly accept it now that he heard it.

However by then it was already time for more stuff to spring up. It seemed Atsuko's previous words before she replied to the demon boy had triggered something of sorts within her sister. And Komatsu saying some things probably didn't help either. So, this was going to turn into some sort of problem on the lookout once more. At the least it wasn't going to turn as bad though, it couldn't get that bad right? Well, the demonic human could only hope so at this point, wanting it to be nothing more than a simple yelling contest for some emotional ride, but of course the boy had no way to guarantee that it would be that easy, as he looked upon the girl taking a more demonic and spiky form. Something truly demonic, so much more so than the boys Full Fledged Demon form. Of course, even though it had the same increase in power as each other, he hadn't found the form that his father used against him in his dreams.

In the case of Cambia however, this was certainly of the same type of form, it was just like he had seen and with where she looked before all of this happened he could only assume that the Makyo Star that he had heard about was all the more real than he had ever expected. The demon boy didn't want to look at it himself, he didn't want to change into a raging beast like she had, he needed to keep himself controlled... so he would just turn and look towards her as she would yell and make an ear piercing screech, one that he didn't much enjoy hearing, with the explosive crater forming around her also making him a little impeded, but either way he would wait for her speech to finish.

"Komatsu... let not agitate her... people need to let this kind of stuff out sometimes and it would be better to calm her down than to have her rage out on the lookout with power and anger..." he would say lightly, looking over to Komatsu who was yelling for her to shut up. Then, Bernael would shoot his eyes towards Cambia, and instead of transforming into any of his other forms of power that he had come across in his time of earth, he instead focused his key to stay the exact same, not power up or suppressing himself, just being one hundred percent natural him. It was then that he would slowly start walking towards her. "Cambia... I know how you feel... about your dad... about your life..." he would say, slowly saying his words out to her as he would continue making his way towards where her blast had come out.

"Its not easy growing up as a part demon... I may not know how it is to be a saiyan... but as a half demon I can say that... life isn't pretty growing up on this planet... but hey its a life you have to live..." the demon would keep a straight face and continue his advance towards her. "My father... he supposedly left right before I was born... I've lived on this earth for nineteen... technically twenty years due to some circumstances... and for all I've been told he is still alive out there somewhere... with the full known capabilities to know where I am... to be able to come with me. Yet I've never seen his face outside of my dreams of what I think he might look like. All twenty of these years I haven't seen old father try to help me out through struggles once... and sure he wasn't some government big shot with resources... but at the least he was on the same damn planet, knowing where my mother lived, who she was, and knew that I existed. He had a short move across a planet or something like that, I don't know how far it would have been for Natto to search for you..." by this point Bernael had a strained look on his face, remembering how most of his time at the start of his journey was devoted looking for the man, but he hadn't found a single clue, but he was still looking at Cambia.

"Well, all I am trying to say here is... you aren't alone in the struggle... the hate and the pain... I've been in some dark places myself... hating everything and wanting to just let it all out. I don't blame you for becoming enraged or being angry... but taking it out on this place, it just isn't the right way to do it. Come on, you can calm down... we can talk this out you know. If not with your family, at least talk it out with me... someone who has been through these same troubles. We may not know each other much, but that doesn't make me any less care about your struggles..." at this point, if he was allowed to the Demon boy would at the very least try and hug the demon girl, knowing full well of her spiky body and her potential to badly hurt him as he was now in his reverted state. But he didn't care, he wanted to try and calm her down and dammit if he wouldn't make this attempt. "Come on... just let it go... settle it in an easier way." he didn't know if this would work in any way, but this was his shot.
