Cambia's speech was... Roughly what she had expected it to be, her anger was slowly building up. Her words turning from disbelief to insults and vehement denial. Atsuko couldn't entirely blame the half demon, she had her reasons to be upset... But she was being just as unfair to Natto. The younger sister then began to transform in what could be described as a demonic form, her power had risen up to quite the sizable level... It would be easy for her to threaten people here, even destroy the Lookout while hardly trying. But the Albino Saiyan had her own source of power.
Like she had done a few times before, she blinked into her Super Saiyan form. Ever since she had trained it with Excalibur, accessing and controlling it's power became an easier task, although she didn't take much time to focus on that, Cambia's power began to flare up, just like that the Super Saiyan rushed into action. A blinding movement with her sheath collided with the energy of her younger sister, not enough to damage her. But enough to cancel out the effects of her rage that would otherwise take it's toll on the Lookout, the Saiyan continued to stare her sister in the eyes.
"He never once asked for forgiveness, but he did apologize.", the Knight began her response. "He didn't know about you because there was war. In fact... I'd wager that the major reason why he couldn't do anything to help you was because of Ro'salinth. Instead of hating Natto so much... Ask yourself why Ro'salinth has been manipulating everything in your life.", the Albino Saiyan made her rebuttal, but her speech was far from over. "I was sent to Earth for one reason; a message of goodwill to Earth and it's previous Guardian. That's why I ended up here."
The Albino Saiyan continued... Though she didn't sound as angry as her words likely came across. "Everyone else was on Planet Natto. That includes Komatsu! You would have been there too, if not for her. You want to know who made your life so bad? It was her, not me, not Komatsu, not anyone else in your family! It's always been her! Excalibur and I both saw that.", the Knight alluded to the fact that the Sacred Sword had experienced the entirety of the half demon's life... Disputing that was rather difficult, in light of that.
"So between the war, the fact that you were kidnapped, and Ro'salinth manipulating everything that's happened in your life... Why don't you ask her why you never encountered any Saiyans? I bet some may have tried searching for you, and she probably killed them. I was an entirely unknown factor! She never thought that I would happen across you, that was mere coincidence, and from what I can understand... She doesn't care enough to rectify it. Either because she can't, or because she takes some twisted pleasure out of it!", the Albino Saiyan added onto her previous points, and then calmed down slightly.
"...Natto died in battle, Tomoroko did too. They never wanted to abandon any of us. They never had a choice, and they do apologize for it. But they have never asked for forgiveness! I won't force you to forgive them, either. But they aren't like what you describe... If you should feel that way about anyone, it should be Ro'salinth.", the Knight finished her speech, though she didn't entirely lower her guard yet. It was possible that the half demon would be too frustrated to just stop, she still couldn't blame Cambia for all of this.
Bernael seemed eager as always to help out, and she was thankful for that... Leena, on the other hand... The Super Saiyan calmly held up a hand to her. "It's alright! I'm not going to let her lose control of herself. She can vent it out all that she likes...", the Knight tried to assure Leena, as well as everyone else that was on the Lookout at the moment. If it really came down to it, Atsuko would keep her little sister from hurting anyone. But hopefully it wouldn't actually break down that badly, one could certainly hope, in any case...
The Albino Saiyan then returned her gaze to Cambia. It was time to see if this was going to continue escalating, or if things would begin to settle down. It really could have gone either way, and that did bring a measure of uneasiness to the Albino Saiyan. But what was there to be done? She wasn't going to hurt her little sister or treat her like an enemy... What she could do was just prevent destruction and anger from getting out of hand, so that was exactly what she intended to do. It wasn't a perfect plan by any means.
But it was all Atsuko had to work with.

Chris hadn't been expecting such power in honesty to hit. However he was running quickly to behind his sister. He knew his own strength was no match for this. However him being close still got his arm slightly bruised from the harsh dive backwards. He would get it bandaged later but even he knew not to let Leena see it. So he did his best to ignore the pain and left it hidden to his side. He didn't know what had stopped this power until he had looked up to see that the Kami had become a super saiyan. He could feel the ki radiating off her and didn't even realize his own mouth was open in suprise until he fixed it. He had never seen a super Saiyan before and frankly..he was beyond amazed. This was the first time he had ever witnessed such power. Really he was stunned speechless until he had found his voice once more. "Thanks..." Chris would say simply towards the Kami. He was still starring at her in wonder.
This was the power of a pure Saiyan he was witness and frankly he didn't know how to compensate it. It's power had practically blown his mind. He almost hoped that one day he could achieve this kind of power. Not for anything sinister, never, but just to be able to feel the kind of strength it brought. He looked up back towards his sister as he begun to stand up again and walk over to her. He still kept his left arm hidden from her so she couldn't see the bruises it had gained from the harsh dive it had taken. He knew Leena, he knew she would most likely get angry enough to go berserk if someone harmed him. That was why he kept quiet mainly. Both from sheer shock of such power and just to keep his sister from going berserk.
The Makyo Star transformed Cambia snarled at the recently revived Saiyan, her younger half-brother, when he tried to defend Natto. "You're right," she growled, her crimson eyes glaring down at him, "I don't know our precious father. How could I when I've been abandoned on this world my entire life?!" the demonic Saiyan asked of him, taking a step towards him, her taloned feet crunching the tiled floor beneath them even as her tail smashed into the floor once more.
She could literally taste the aggression in the air surrounding her... she could feel the anger rising all around her from the gathered group of people. However, not everyone was gearing themselves up for a conflict... Cambia glowered at the male approaching her who began to try and sympathise with her about the whole thing, recounting his own experiences. The fact that the armoured Saiyan was pointing her talking rifle at her the entire time meant nothing to her... but she continued to listen to the demonic boy. "I have tried it her way..." snarled Cambia when he suggested trying to just let go of her rage, glancing towards her sister who was going into that infernal Super Saiyan form once more.
"I have tried being peaceful and bottling up how I feel... I have tried the whole talk about it thing... I've even had that damned sword of hers invade my mind and go through my memories!" Cambia snarled. She shot a glare towards her half-sister as she shone there in radiant light. "Neither of you get it. Not really. You've spent your existence hidden away in a church surrounded by old priest bastards, and trained to fight against the things that go bump in the night. To fight against me and him." the demonic Saiyan snarled, her fangs spread in a feral grimace.
"You have no real idea about the darkness, that those who you've sworn to protect, have inside them. You can at least look and smell like a human to them when you keep hiding your tail." admonished the younger sister, her tail smashing against the Lookout floor once more. "Even if I hid my tail like you, even if I covered myself in so much armour... I would still be hated! Even if I saved a box full of puppies and kittens from a burning building, guess what'd happen? I'd get the blame for the fire, and be decried as trying to sacrifice the animals!" she roared, glaring at her sister. "That's the humanity you've sworn to protect as Kami. That's the humanity that you don't dare to take the lives of if they try to strike you." she roared, her crimson eyes starting to water, the water soon evaporating however from the heat being generated from her aura.
"I know full well my mother's been manipulating my existence... but guess what? She didn't manipulate everything... She didn't go near every single human I met, every single human who tried to beat, rape or kill me because of what I am. I've never even met the damn woman in the flesh!" cried out Cambia, her talons clenching in her fists, her tail smashing open another tile of the Lookout. "She didn't manipulate who I came to care about... I wish I could blame her for every single thing that has gone wrong in my life like you seem to be able to Atsuko, but the truth is this world has a darkness in it you are unwilling to even consider seeing! You're so enveloped in your self-righteous light that you can't see the shadows that lurk in it!" she said, finding herself going to her knees and slamming her fists into the Lookouts floor.
The eight foot tall demonically transformed Saiyan slammed her fist into the floor once more, her body shuddering slightly as it wracked itself in her conflicting emotions. "And then... when I think I've found some kind of light of my own... it gets snuffed out in darkness again!" Her tears managed to make it to the floor this time before they evaporated from the heat. "The one man to treat me as a person, as an equal... to show genuine feeling... that wasn't bound to by blood..." she sighed, her body wracking under the weight of it all. "And then he disappears... after trying to destroy and kill everyone around me, thinking that I'd betrayed him..."
After a moment's silence she sharply tilted her head up to regard the group looking at her. "And then I get this extended family bombshell dropped on my head, that I'd been pregnant the entire time that you Saiyans were trying to blow us up, and then another bomb including an older brother who tried to break my body in two back then, JUST to get at our sister, JUST because she kicked his ass a few times and let him run away, and a father who knew I existed but didn't try to find me, using a war as an excuse but found enough time to have another kid!" Cambia roared, the waterworks having stopped, and all that was left was incandescent rage and fury. "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU STAND THERE SO FUCKING CALM WITH ALL THAT INFORMATION?!" the demonic Saiyan roared, her body trembling with her wrath, which appeared to be getting split between her half siblings, unsure of where to focus it.

Komatsu couldn't help but sigh and roll his eyes as he listened to Cambia, watched her outburst as her trial continued to break apart the tiles of the lookout. He could hear the pain in her voice as she spoke and of all people, he knew he could relate... to some degree anyways. He glanced to Atsuko as she ascended, grimacing at the golden aura that surrounded her and nearly gagged at the mushy... lovey dovey hug that Bernael offered to Cambia. Finally, the youngest saiyan stepped forward, stopping in front of Cambia as she knelt down, beating the ground. If he was going to get beat up for his next words then, fine.
"Stop being a baby. I've been there, had the same rant, threw a tantrum that involved a whole village. Yeah, it sucks when bad things keep happening to you and you can't control it. It sucks when you see a spark of light only to have it wiped out. The last four years of my life have been spent in a prison cell on planet Vegeta, barely big enough to fit a god damned dog. Tortured, every single day because of the blood that I carry in my veins. Our parent's never came for me either, Nasu never came for me, I was left there to rot. I acted like an evil asshole when I got to Earth because it was the one time that I could actually be stronger than someone else, and when I found a spark of light when the Prince saved me from that life, it was snuffed out protecting him. But you know what? Who the hell cares about all that.
Yeah, the past hurts, but that's where the hurt is going to stay, in the past. It shapes you into who you are but you have to look forward, not back. We might never live in the light, but by looking forward we can make the darkness no more than a shadow.
Dad knew about you, so obviously he did try to find you and failed, who cares. You wouldn't be who you are now if he did. I haven't known you long but frankly, I like the you that I've met." Finally, Komatsu would kneel down in front of Cambia, hesitantly placing a hand on her shoulder as he would look at her.
"We were all surprised with the family bombshell, it's going to take a lot of work to get used too. No one's asking you to accept this news off the bat, but we'll try to figure this out together alright? Hell... I've never had a sister so I've got no clue what the hell to do with you guys, so you'll have to help me on that one." He hoped at least his final words would be comforting enough...

The demonic human would slowly wince, feeling the power of Atsuko shoot up to its super saiyan form once more. He hated that it had to happen like that, he wanted it to all stay unhostile for the time being. He thought that after the melee clash that would stop the blast from Cambia was over, that Atsuko would just power down but it didn't seem like that was the case at all. So even in all his attempts to not be hostile and stay in his lowest form in light of the stronger form confronting them all, it certainly wasn't enough to make others stop it as well. In the end one that he didn't recognize was even pointing a damned rifle at her, which was certainly concerning for the demon boy. "Dammit..." was all he mumbled to himself as he looked over it all.
However as Cambia made her counter claim to what he was trying to convince her of, a lot of new information that Bernael wasn't quite aware of was blowing over him all at once and he wasn't sure if he liked it at all. He would slowly clench up his fists as he looked back towards Atsuko, more importantly towards the sword that she held. "Excalibur invaded your mind.... what the hell...." was all he could mumble out as he clenched his fists tighter into his hands, drawing a bit more blood like before. "Was it against your will.... was it an invasion in every way...." he mumbled out a bit more, it was quite obvious from how it sounded, that it was against her will but he had to be sure... he couldn't believe what he was hearing entirely just yet as he felt his affinity changing in this situation. Maybe it was right for her to be mad... after all the things she went through to try and talk it out and in the end it was still fighting against her, maybe she needed a little bit of a rampage.
It didn't stop there however, as his mind continued on. He already knew about the training that was put out against demons considering how the order worked, but he had went there and met them and he knew they weren't against everything that was a demon, as they event accepted him after the confession that spoke of his lineage. But even then... the words she spoke of to her sister hit him a little bit more... even though all the friends he was making didn't care about it, the populous, the random humans out there, all their humanity... they shunned him for existing as well, it didn't matter how much he would ignore or try to make friends with them, none of it mattered, no matter how much of a good samaritan he was, none of it was good enough to make people accept him, so much so that it pushed him to a point of no return to leave and not look back aside from wanting to see his mother again.
His gaze shot to the ground slowly, none of this was going the way that seemed profitable but it didn't matter at that point, his mind was choosing for the most part to let her run how she wanted, making her change her mind because he felt it was the right thing to do would have been wrong, as even his own mind was pretty angry at the entire situation... which was probably why his dreams wanted him to kill his father. He must have been lying to himself back then, lying to his mind so much so that his dreams and wants were clouded by his desire just to meet his damn father. Though, perhaps his mind was getting double clouded and that was only in the heat of the moment, trying to sympathize his own thoughts towards the girl but... he couldn't know for sure till it was all over.
His mind was slowly just falling into a slight anger, who could he truly side with here anyways? This girl that had gone through so much pain and torment throughout her life, who really probably needed this rant time to go rampant among all of them... no, he couldn't go against her at all, that would be betraying his own feelings against the own situation, and already so many were against her anyways. It would have been truly wrong for him to do that, but on the other hand... would it have been right to stand up against the one he had fallen for, her newly revived brother, and then the two others he wasn't familiar with but were still here nonetheless. There was no right decision there, aside from possibly stepping off to the side and choosing nobody... but in that case he would have been going against both sides in technicality... what would he be able to do anyways?
Bernael wouldn't have to choose however, not yet at least, as the recently revived boy would come over to comfort his sister, or at least try to... which the demon boy had to respect considering the race and everything, it must have been pretty hard for the boy anyways. He didn't want to interfere between family struggle anyways, so the demon boy would slowly step off towards the side, however he wanted to make his notions clear that he was at least a little angry or turned off from the whole situation, as he would at the very least let his demon heart form unleash with its purple aura emanating off of him as he looked towards Atsuko, Excalibur, and the other two he had no way of knowing the names of. He wasn't trying to be hostile but he still just looked towards them anyways, not wanting to let out his pure form of Hidden Potential, but also not wanting to fully come into a sinister form that he wouldn't be the same at all in like his Full Fledged Demon Form. So the sinister aura of his demons heart was all he could choose for the time being.
Cambia's next words have proven to cut rather deep. Talking about how her 'older sister's way' didn't work. If it was left at that, the Albino Saiyan probably would have sighed, and tried to change her approach... But the half demon wasn't done with just that, the hybrid proceeded to paint Excalibur in a bad light, offering no further elaboration on how that moment actually happened. To top it all off, she continued on to say that neither of the pair understood what it was like, they had 'cushy lives' and a family to care for them... The Knight's expression turned to one of anger.
But she didn't do or say anything yet, she allowed her younger sister to continue speaking. All she was doing right now was just lashing out at everything she had a problem with, the Saiyan was doing everything she could to just hold herself back and listen. This was important to Cambia, and if Atsuko wanted to get through to her at all... She needed to wait until the right time to respond, it would need to be uninterrupted. It would need to be a case they she and no one else could deny, she had a bit of an idea on how to do that...
Finally, the younger sister roared with a final question about how she could stand there so calm about everything that had come to light. "...Why? Because if I spend all of my time getting so upset with every little thing that's ever gone wrong or 'not quite right', I wouldn't get anything done. You think I don't know difficulty? Well you're right about one thing, Excalibur did see your past, and you didn't quite intend for that to happen... But she didn't want to do that, either.", the Knight began her response.
The Albino Saiyan then began to walk over to Cambia. "You think I don't know difficulty? That I've always had everything so perfectly easy? Why don't I show you just how wrong you are, then.", the Saiyan would then place her hand atop Cambia's head, if her little sister moved to block, then she'd just grab her arm. The Albino Saiyan turned her gaze to Bernael, more than a little upset that he had come to his own conclusions about Excalibur. "You need to see this, too.", with her free hand, she reached out to him and placed it on his shoulder.
Komatsu was wrapped up in all of this, too. If Atsuko had just pulled all of this off correctly... All of their minds would be filled with Atsuko's greatest fears; delivered courtesy of the Sacred Holy Water that she had drank so long ago. It was a vision that played out from the Albino Saiyan's perspective; the Saiyans invaded Earth, and she stood in defense of it alongside Bernael and Tau... Both of which were struck down tragically in the middle of the battle. The Knight had become consumed by her rage and charged into battle.
The vision went black, and soon returned. The environment had changed to a ruined Earth, Atsuko was trying her damnedest to pull herself out of a crater, and was helped by Jarvis... Who proceeded to tell her that this always happens. The vision goes black once more, and changes to that of the Lookout. In it, Cambia berates Atsuko for giving up so easily, and it seems like at least efforts could be focused on rebuilding... But in that next instant, Athren had appeared and struck her down. A second battle had started. With this, her point was made and the vision ended.
The Albino Saiyan released her grasp on Cambia and Bernael, and turned away. "...I deal with fears like that every single day. That was what made me decide... "I'll fight and prevent that from ever happening". The battle on the Lookout turned me into a Super Saiyan, and I lost control of myself. I tried to strike someone down in anger... And I took the life of my little brother.", the Knight proceeded to step away at a calm pace, but her speech continued despite this. "Every day, I see tragedies happen, and I think... 'I can do something'."
The Knight pauses for a moment. "But if I rush in blindly, something even worse could happen. If I do nothing, it spirals out of control anyway.", the Saiyan then turns to face Cambia and the others properly. "I don't get an easy way out. I can't just say "Why bother? They would hate me anyway.". I can't just run away from my problems. You don't even give them a chance to change. It's easy to hate them and to never have to bother trying.", the Saiyan continued, her expression had calmed down somewhat, but she still glared daggers at her little sister.
"You don't care about Earth, or anyone on it! And I don't hate you for that, I understand it, and I know why you would choose to never give them the benefit of the doubt! But I can't choose that... Our parents wanted this for me, the previous Guardian of Earth, he wanted me to take up his mantle and protect Earth. I don't get to run away from that.", the Knight paused once more with a sigh, as she closed her eyes. "To do so would be something that goes against everything I stand for."
The Albino Saiyan explained. "Even more... It would disappoint everyone that has been expecting these things from me my entire life.", Atsuko then opens her eyes once more. "It's not anyone's fault but my own! Anyone here would say right now that I always had the option to refuse it, and take up anything else that I wanted instead! I don't blame you, I don't blame our parents... I don't blame Komatsu or Nasu, either. I have to do the right thing, not just for my family, but for an entire world. And if I fail? It doesn't end on a 'well, at least I tried'!"
Her expression began to fill with anger once again. "It ends with a world being destroyed! It ends with lives being lost! It ends with innocents losing everything, a fragile peace becomes ruined! That is the difficulty I face. And I won't run away from it, and I won't blame anyone else for it.", the Albino Saiyan finished, then casting her gaze to all present on the Lookout at the moment. "I'm sorry, if any of you have business with me, I must request that you come back later. Or retire to the guest quarters for the moment..."
The Saiyan tried to recollect her composure. "Private matters need to be attended to, first.", Atsuko finished. With that she began to walk towards the Palace. "Cambia, Bernael, Komatsu. I know this discussion isn't done yet. We'll speak further in the Throne Room.", the Knight stated as she kept her pace. It didn't take her very long to reach the intended room, nor to take her seat on the slightly damaged throne. Her finger tapped impatiently on the arm of the chair. Excalibur had taken notice of how all of this had escalated quickly out of control...
The Sacred Sword began to take her 'human form', as she had done many times before. "Atsuko... Calm down.", the woman in red attempted to appeal to the Knight, but the Albino Saiyan shook her head. "They needed to hear this. They want to think that my life is so perfect, and decry you as someone who has performed a heinous crime? I won't allow it. They turned on you so easily...", the Saiyan continued. Excalibur couldn't exactly deny her words... "It's not all like that... But I understand that this needs to be resolved.", the Sacred Sword responded.
Chris wondered what the Kami could have seen from when she placed her hand on cambia's shoulder. It looked like she had seen something but he didn't know what it could have been. It was enough though to drive her to give a speech like this. It was admiring in all honesty. How truthful they spoke from their heart. That was why it truly felt so empowering, because of that he truly felt her words. When she asked for all of them to leave or to stay in the guest area of they needed her, which he did but that could obviously wait for what he would be asking of her. Chris began to silently walk to the guest room, following the paths that his sister had shown him before. He wondered if she would kill him for asking this of the Kami later but hey..the look Leena's face would be worth it.
The demonic Saiyan's eyes flashed for a moment when the recently revived Saiyan boy called her a baby. Out of instinctual rage she took a swing at him even as he continued to speak. After his grand speech, she found herself chuckling. "Guessing you got sent up rather than down then. Certainly less of a brat now." quipped Cambia before Atsuko began to give her own speech in response to her younger sisters, trying to compare lifestyles with some vision memory thing and then defend her own... emotionlessness.
"That's your problem though sis." said Cambia as she looked at her. "You're always thinking about this grand picture, always taking care of everyone and everything else before yourself. I don't think I've even actually even see you break that composure of yours except for when you first went golden glowing."
The blonde hybrid shut her eyes and concentrated, forcing her body to return to its natural self, reforming a set of clothes as she shrunk back to her normal size. "And that mind trip of yours was what you foresaw. Nothing about your past at all if that's what you were trying to go with." Course then Atsuko went into her Kami mode and told everyone, in her own little way, to shove off. Cambia rolled her eyes before following her into the throne room, proceeding to lean against the wall whilst Atsuko sat down in her throne. "The thing is, you don't even show anything to us, as far as I can tell anyway." explained the younger sister.
She shook her head a little. "Stop being a nun for once and actually feel. It's alright, you're not going to offend any gods or some bull like that... Hell! You are god as far as the word Kami goes. Who's going to notice up here if you have a little cry, or let yourself go a little eh?" suggested the demonic Saiyan who seemed to be a hell of a lot calmer now that she'd had that little explosion of hers. Cambia smirked as she looked at her blue robed counterpart. "Or is it going to be my eternal job now to try and drag you out of that mental cage of yours?" she asked before looking towards Komatsu. "Or should I say our job?" she asked, briefly wondering why Berneal was here as well.
The younger sister grinned an evil grin as she connected some dots. This was a family meeting for the most part... which meant... "So, has Excalibur whittled down your corset enough to have a boyfriend then?" Cambia teased, tilting her head towards the half-demon boy. "Naughty, naughty Kami, cavorting with a spawn of hell~ What would the priests who worship you think of such a relationship?" she sing-songed, smirking at Berneal. "Hey, I'm allowed to say that, I'm a spawn as well." She then started to hum the infamous tree song.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!

"...What... No... Shut up." Komatsu's face started to turn red as he took his hand away from Cambia's shoulder, standing back up and crossing his arms with a light "Hmph". He didn't feel any different, even after the cleansing machine... but apparently others were able to spot the differences... He was standing here among those that had just been his enemies after all.
He would then look over to Bernael who seemed completely turned off by the idea of Excalibur going into anyone's mind when they were un willing. Sure that could be annoying and a huge invasion of privacy... but whatever, it was effective, as he had learned first hand back on Vegeta. He stayed quiet for now though as Kimiko began to speak, soon showing them an image of what looked like it was the fight against Nasu, but everything was different, it looked like the saiyans had won. While he knew this was meant to tug at their heartstrings, to see their comrades die, Koma just couldn't feel the same way about it as them. That might have been different if the vision had been about his own comrades though.
Komatsu stayed silent as he looked between Kimiko and Cambia. This was clearly something that the two of them needed to resolve and didn't involve him too much at this point... beyond the whole being related thing. Normally, he would have just left the two girls to squabble but something felt as if it tied him there. He didn't know what to say or do at this point... he wanted to ask Kimiko what his best course of action would be now that he was back, but now didn't exactly seem to be the most appropriate time.
'Girls are so confusing...' The young boy thought to himself.

Bernael would shiver a bit, his transformation dropping out all on its own as he thought that maybe all of the stuff he was doing would appear to have absolute decisions behind them, and honestly it seemed that it was already too late for all of that. But either way it seemed that Atsuko had indirectly answered his own questions of if Excalibur did the mind reading as an invasion situation. It was a relief that Excalibur didn't mean or want to do it, he really hoped originally that it wasn't the case but he only had Cambia's words to go off of so he couldn't ride anything else off as true until he was told otherwise. So at the very least that bit of mind trouble was cleared for him, so he didn't really need his form that had dropped anyways.
However it appeared that the damage of his possibly misread actions was already done, and he was getting pulled into something that he probably wouldn't have had to see otherwise. He would wince as her arm would touch his shoulder, unaware of if he would be hurt or not considering the power difference between him in his entirely reverted form and then her in her ascended form of power, she could easily break him in two with just a single punch from her fist. Though thankfully it was just something to transfer thoughts into the mind of the others, as he would slowly see the normally horrifying images that he honestly didn't see as a point to everything, but either way accepted seeing them in every way.
It was an entirely different but still very similar version of the Siege on the Lookout that had taken place, it felt like so long ago that it all happened but either way its events were burned into his memory now that he had retained his concussions lost memories, knowing that it was a very hateful and terrible event that he needed to go through back then to protect his friends. His dark passenger that was still with him to this day having him earn the power that he could go into. Clearly it didn't rival the strongest of them, not by a long-shot, but it was still his strongest power to use and it had the kick behind it that was the Devil Trigger boost that he hadn't used that much in the past, only once to his current minds thoughts. Either way, the fact of this siege that never happened, with events that were much different than the real events. With Tau and himself dying, Cambia later succumbing to death as well alongside everyone else. It was all truly a bad experience and thought of course but... it didn't happen. The only people that had died were Komatsu and Jarvis, one of which was standing right there beside them alive. That meant the only unknown was Jarvis, that alone contradicted the entire vision that was shown so the boy wasn't too scared of it all.
However Atsuko was blowing off into this huge speech that Bernael didn't really want to get much into, so he partially just listened and nodded as it wasn't entirely his position to talk back about any of it all anyways, so he would just look on in interest hoping that this bickering would end soon. It was sad to see the family break out and fight that way, without any glimpse of it appearing to be non-hostile for the time being. At the very least though, Cambia was calming down to the point of no longer being in her transformation at this point so Bernael was also happy that it was at the very least cooling off. It was then that Atsuko said something about waiting or coming back later, that it was all a private matter that needed to be discussed. With that he would slowly turn and start moving away, thinking he was out of it now considering he wasn't family. But he was one of the ones specifically called to go with, so the demon boy would be quite surprised as he turned back and slowly started to come with. Sort of wondering why he was invited. It all looked like a family matter, there was Atsuko, Cambia, Komatsu, all of which were family but then there was... himself? That was very odd but he didn't turn down the idea of coming with.
It looked like Atsuko was VERY pissed off so he felt pretty bad, as he moved farther away but still in the throne room, not wanting to be too close as he felt ashamed. But that would soon pass as Cambia was starting to talk. Well it was everyones job to help each other out but the next words were... unexpected. The demonic humans face would light up a bright red, his emotions going out of whack for a second as he would semi freak out at the proposition. "Wait wait no, I am not her boyfriend. Well, that isn't to say that I actually don't want to be" the boy would frantically say trying to explain. "Well that came out wrong, I DO want to be her boyfriend but I am not at the time being. M-More like a Romantic Interest?! Well that would be wrong too, I love her enough to want to be her boyfriend but it just hasn't happened yet!" the demon boy continued to say as he would shake his head trying to get his words right. "Also her family was very alright with me........ being around her. I don't know how they would react if I got together with her but I sort of hope that they understand if it ever becomes a thing..." he would say a bit more, poking his fingertips against each other as he realized that he probably spoke too much about something like that in a serious situation.
"A-Anyways yeah... I'm not actually dating her its just sort of a... I don't know how to say it but its nothing official. Though I am curious as to why I myself am here... I don't feel like I have any real spot here at the time being... you all are family and I don't really have the right to be here do I...?" the boy questioned towards them all, as he would fold his arms and sort of get worried about everything going on still.
All she basically got from it all was a big fuck off... Leena felt offended... She was angry on the inside. Lancer was spiked to feel this, "Leena... Calm down... You're getting worked up for her telling you to leave. It's not your business anyways... Why would you care?" he said inside her helmet. She would feel her rifle, "That stupid bitch thinks she has a big problem, Lancer! For a fucking Kami... She sure doesn't take her role seriously. She has drama all over her face and she can't simply slide it aside? What a fucking disgusting thought... There's major problems in this world and she worries about her damn rampant sister... Stupid bitch," she said trying to hold her outbursts back. She didn't like the fact that she was told to retire. It was offensive. They could have done this privately elsewhere. This made her furious because her responsibility is like a joke in Leena's eyes. She would rest her hand on Christopher's shoulder and sighs... "Let's leave these fools to do their little drama... I'm so sick of her always taking priority over something like this..." she said as she pulled her hand back off his shoulder. She begins walking away into the Palace to her room with Chris. She would slam the door shut and lock it. From this point forward... A new plan was set in stone.
That plan... is entirely unknown to many around...

Cambia opened up by saying that Atsuko always considered a grand picture before even considering herself, the Albino Saiyan gave a small sigh. "That's the point of a Kami. I forsake a normal life so that everyone else can have one. It's not like any of this just stops. I don't get vacations or days off... If I slack off, our enemies grow stronger and I won't be ready to face them when the time comes.", the Knight responded, then listening to her little sister's next words on the subject, which involved the vision that she had sent via telepathy earlier.
"You don't get it, do you?", Atsuko genuinely asked, then shaking her head. "I was sent to Earth by Natto and Tomoroko. Why? Because the Saiyan Alliance was forced off of Earth by the previous Guardian of Earth... I can only assume that at some point, he knew that his end was coming. So he approached with an idea to bring peace between the two races; I would be brought to Earth and raised so as to take over for him. Why do I think this? Because I felt his presence, and I was led to the Lookout by him. He explained everything to me."
The Albino Saiyan then looked her little sister in the eyes once more. "My entire life has been building up to the moment where I would become the next Kami. Everyone is expecting great things of me, and everyone just... Thinks that there's no difficulties involved! That nothing bad will ever happen. I wish that I had their confidence.", the Knight stated. "My first major battle as a Guardian of Earth... I couldn't properly protect anyone. I lost control of myself, people died. What's more, the battle came about due to decisions I made."
The Saiyan continued her explanation. "I achieved the Super Saiyan form... And it barely pulled us through. Nasu achieved it as well. Then there's Athren, who somehow obtained a power even greater. It isn't just going to end with this, even if I somehow beat them both and convince them to never fight us again... Or find other solutions... There will just be more to take their place.", Atsuko then closed her eyes. "My childhood, as pleasant as it was... It was nothing more than preparation for all of this. For the rest of my natural, and perhaps even unnatural life..."
Atsuko finally opened her eyes once more. "I will be training, and I will be fighting.", as she finished, Cambia then brought up that it was alright to feel. The Albino Saiyan was able to understand the sentiment, but all the same... "It's not that simple. People turn to me when they have no other hope. I am meant to be the last line of defense, what message does it send if I show weakness? To everyone on our side, and to our enemies.", with that, the Knight then shakes her head. "I won't hide away all of my emotions... But I won't be ruled by them."
At least things seemed to have settle down quite a bit. Cambia changed from being angry, to her joking self. Atsuko was rather effectively caught off guard by the comments involving Bernael, as well as why he was brought into this discussion. Of course, she didn't have the chance to react to any of that, the red haired half demon was the first to speak on the subject. He had summed everything up rather nicely, although he had stumbled over his own words more than a few times... The Albino Saiyan was left blushing in the aftermath.
"It's... As he said. We're not together yet, I just felt like it was only fair to include him. He was already closely tied to the conversation.", the Knight explained, trying to discreetly cover how she actually felt about him. She had to, otherwise she would never hear the end of it from Cambia... Well, she probably never would hear the end of it anyway. But it was worth a shot. The Knight shakes her head once more, letting out another sigh as she recollects her composure. Her gaze finally turns towards Komatsu, who was waiting patiently in all of this nonsense.
"Sorry... We need to go over what you should do now that you're back.", the Saiyan finally stated. She pondered it over for a moment. There were a variety of things that she could have offered, but... "Well... It's not really my place to tell you what to do. Just know that you're always welcome here on the Lookout, it can be your home. Earth can, too. I would also be willing to train you, you have potential that is yet untapped... But there's not anything forcing you to stay here, either."
The Albino Saiyan stated truthfully. "I don't want to control your life, even if my interests would be directed towards what I think is best for you. So if you want to leave Earth... I won't stop you. But before you make any decision...", the Saiyan then stands up and calmly walks over to him. She gently places a hand on his head and closes her eyes. Her voice can then be heard inside of his mind. "We can communicate like this. If anything happens, you can always talk to me.", after finishing that, she opens her eyes and calmly pulls her hand away.
She then kneels down a little, then retrieving an Advanced Scouter that she had acquired a long time ago. "Or if you prefer, we can keep in contact with this. I'll give you the numbers that this one operates off of.", she continued. The Knight then retrieved a piece of paper as well as a pen, then writing down everything before then offering it to Komatsu. "Even if you decide to stay here on Earth, all of this can still be useful to you.", once Komatsu then accepts or refuses the paper, she would then return to her throne.
"As for what you should do now... That's up to you, after everything that has happened, you've earned that right. But if you want to... Nasu has most likely returned to the Saiyan Alliance, I'm going to assume that he is building an army and will one day continue the fight. I'm going to assume you have your own matters to attend to with him, he would be a next logical step for many reasons.", the Knight then finished. She wouldn't feel right just chaining him down to Earth, or forcing him to join up with the Defenders of Earth.
He had his own life to lead, but he would always have a home here. Hopefully that would mean a lot to him. "Well... I think that's everything. Unless we have anything else that we need to go over?", the Albino Saiyan then inquired, casting her gaze to everyone in the Throne Room. It seemed like everything was effectively wrapped up, at least for the moment. Though she could very easily be wrong about that. But the more she thought it over... She just couldn't think up anything else that needed to be said, or done.
It was a rough meeting that seemed to have a well enough ending, at this rate.

Cambia listened to her sister spill her guts, and only smirked. "All the more reason to find the time to let your hair down and unwind." she said to her older half-sister. "You've got all this and that to do, all that and the next thing to uphold, all these grand destinies blah blah blah. That can't be good for your health." the demonic Saiyan surmised before tossing over her flask towards Atsuko. "One drink won't hurt you. It'll help take the edge off a little if anything." suggested the younger sister before looking towards Komatsu as Atsuko tried to figure out what their little brother was going to do.
She chuckled and shook her head. "If you're heading back to... wherever the hell Nasu is, I wish ya all the luck you can get." she said with a smirk. "I can only imagine the look on his face when he finds out about this insane family dynamic going on. Take a video with those Scouter things if you can, I want to see it later." Cambia asked her little half-brother, already picturing the reaction in her head for when Nasu finds out about the whole sisters thing.
Of course, then there was the little love line going on here between her sister and Bernael. She looked to her counterpart in all things demonic and gave him a look. "Just a heads up. You hurt my sister whenever you two do finally get together, and I'll hurt you. Assuming that Nasu doesn't take the role of Big Brother, in which case I'd advise running very very quickly." she said, half-teasingly and half-seriously.
She thought of something absolutely delicious and chuckled before looking back towards Komatsu. "Oh! And when you're telling big brother about the whole sisters thing... feel free, just for the sheer shits and giggles, to tell him about his upcoming niece or nephew, and who the daddy is. Make sure you're recording for that big reveal, I want to see if his head explodes or something." snickered the demonic Saiyan female.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!

Komatsu waited through all of the awkward blushing and bumbling between his older sister and the demon boy. He didn't say a peep though watched them with amusement. It wasn't until he was finally spoken too that Koma shifted his attention back to Kimiko. What she was saying to him was surprising to say the least He hadn't expected her to offer him a home here, or to train even train him. Just because they knew about their family ties, didn't mean Kimiko had to offer these things to him. Not that they weren't extremely appreciated. Then, she even placed her hand on his head, speaking directly into his mind and causing the young saiyan to raise an eyebrow. That part, he didn't like in the slightest. Though when she offered him an advanced scouter, he was very thankful for the out.
"Thank you Kimiko, I appreciate the offer to stay, I really do, But if I don't go back Nasu's going to screw up what my parent's worked so hard to build. The Alliance is everything Nasu isn't, at least not yet. Plus, he needs to know that I'm alive. He might be the biggest jerk in the universe but he's still my brother." He would take the paper when it was offered to him, looking at it intently as if it was going to tell him something before looking back up to Atsuko.
"I'm not fond of the whole mind reading thing, so if you're sure it's alright I'll take this. I'll let you know what happens after I talk to him." That was when Cambia mentioned recording the entire ordeal, causing him to raise an eyebrow as he looked over at his half sister.
"You realize that's my ass on the line right? All that will get recorded is the floor when he kicks my ass for that." He said with a light frown though he did see the appeal to doing something like that. Then, she mentioned also recording his reaction to the fact that they would be uncles to... what essentially would be the prince or princess of the Empire. Right... he had forgotten all about that.
"Oh yeah... he'll love that news... " He said as he rubbed the back of his neck with a sigh. This was going to be an impossible task to get out from unscathed.
"Right... well, I think I better head out. There's still one person that might still be hunting me on this planet so I need to try to get to my pod before he can find me." He admitted as he watched Atsuko sit atop her throne. Now was as good a time as any to get started on his job. He would step bacl and excuse himself from the throne room.

The demonic human would just nod slowly, understanding the answer given to him by Atsuko as he didn't really have anything against the reason, it made a lot of sense for him to be involved for the most part. However, it looked like everything was more or less drawing to a close for the most part as Komatsu and Atsuko were talking about about his options for the time being which he had no real thing to chime in with all things considered, he was best left out of such a conversation so the boy just looked off and away as if waiting for a little while until Cambia told him something that he would just think about for a moment.
"I would never hurt her... at least never intentionally. I want to be as close as I can to her anyways, I wouldn't do anything to intentionally drive us apart. However in the case that I ever do... I'd openly accept anything that happened to me because it wouldn't be the real me doing those things, just a new mindset in a stolen body that deserves to be purged for doing such a thing.." Bernael would just say, before looking down with a pained smile. "It would just be a pure demon... being consumed by desires and anger unlike I've been able to take control of ever... just the thought of it does scare me enough to want to turn away from the thought..." he would just smirk gently. "So yeah, count on me to never go hostile... or hurt her in any way... and please don't hesitate on hurting me if I dare ever do it..." the boy would shake his head slowly, not sure why he had said what he was saying but at the very least he understood that the words were true.
However his mind couldn't draw on that for too much longer as he noticed Komatsu was leaving for now, or at the very least he was taking the stuff given to him and announcing some sort of exit. With that, the demon boy would nod slowly to himself, all of this was wrapping up nicely enough that it wasn't going to be hostile any longer, which was always a good thing after everything that had happened on the floating temple structure recently. Bernael decided not to make his own leave however, there was no time for that in the first place. Plus he needed to stay till the end to make sure that it wouldn't go all hostile on the entire place again.
