Homecoming [Open/Nasu]

Nasu was sitting on his chambers when he a saiyan entered it without knocking or asking for authorization. The young overseer glared at him with a fearsome but serious expression upon his face, that was more than enough for most saiyans to shit on their pants; the recent events and display of power was but too recent in the minds of the members of the Alliance, and Nasu was well-known by all of them, from his troubled childhood. The eldest son of Natto and Tomoroko had too much of a fierce saiyan blood inside of him, for his own good.

However, the man quickly spoke, and his speech was enough for Nasu to let go of his initial misbehavior and focus on the matter in question: someone was invading the Planet using his father’s coordinates. An older Nasu would immediately be mad at such an offense and take it upon himself to purge the bastard who decided to mock his deceased father’s memory by stealing his landing codes, but he had changed ever since his battle on Earth, and became more mature, more cunning and more thoughtful. ”Dad’s codes? I can’t think of anyone who would have access to that…” he wondered. Nasu tried closing his eyes for a bit, to feel the energy signature, but since it was but a newly acquired skill, he couldn’t focus properly, especially because the energy signature seemed to be fading. Then he resorted to his other option: checking the power level with his scouter. The Overseer clicked on the button and the reading indicated a power level of over seventy thousand, which was pretty much Karota’s power level. But then, this power level began to drop, like if the person was either having trouble hiding it or actually injured.

Nasu got up from his throne and, without uttering a word; he walked through the door, to where the other saiyans were analyzing the data. Nasu stared at the large screen where the cameras had the pod, and it looked like any other pod. In fact, it had some traits of an Empire’s pod, if he had to guess. This made him narrow his eyes. ”Could it be Athren? But would he be crazy enough to land here without asking me for permission? I know we may be temporary allies, but that would be pushing his luck… Or is he so confident of that crazy power?” he wondered for a brief moment. ”Well… No use trying to guess.” he decided, shrugging a bit.

– Tell Cabba to get a medical machine ready. I will personally check who this person is. Leave the decisions up to me. Should any one shot down that pod before I get there, they will answer to me. – he said in a serious tone. Then, he flared his ghostly-white ki aura and immediately flew away from the hatch the chamber had on its roof. Nasu flew directly towards the pod. By the time he arrived, it would have already landed.

Although it didn’t take him long to reach the landing site, the pilot of the spacepod had already been taken to medical care. Nasu stopped to stare at the spacepod for a second, confirming it was indeed an Empire pod. It had blood all over the place, confirming the suspicion that the person inside of it was badly injured. ”Hm… That’s curious.” he thought to himself, with a serious feature as he quickly walked inside the medical quarters. Cabba was guarding the door of the room the invader was been taking care of and, the moment he spotted Nasu approaching, he straightened his back and gulped, still in fear of his new Overseer.

Cabba

– Overseer, sir! I’m guarding the room, like you ordered! – he said, with a rather shaky tone. Nasu stared at him and sighed. ”This boy is about to shit on his pants…” he thought to himself, slightly disappointed; he would have to make a true saiyan out of this boy one day, but right now he didn’t have the time to focus on the weaklings. – Good, Cabba. Now step aside, I’m getting inside. Stay by the door in case I need you. No one will dismiss you, but me, Private. – he said, and the saiyan boy nodded nervously.

Nasu approached the automatic door and it immediately opened and, to his surprise, he saw his younger brother inside the medical machine. – What?! – he exclaimed, as he gritted his teeth. A drop of cold sweat ran down his left temple, as he was having trouble believing in his eyes. Komatsu was conscious inside the machine and Nasu quickly dashed forward, touching the glass with both his hands, covered in his traditional saiyan-style white gloves.

– Komatsu?! How?! Did the earthlings already managed to bring you back to life?! Why are you so injured?! Answer me now, brat!!! It’s an order!! – he was so nervous that he was letting anger take control of him. His anger was fueled by his preoccupation regarding the well-being of his brother. ”If those earthling bastards did this to him, I will fucking murder them all!” he thought to himself, feeling the rage take over his heart. His power level began to rise due to such an anger, but he did not transform into a super saiyan. This rise of power was enough to make the doctors step back a little bit, and, upon noticing that they were still there, Nasu clenched both his fists and a vein popped out in his temple.

– OUT! BOTH OF YOU!!! – he roared in anger, and the saiyans doctors were quick to abide. They were too afraid to stay inside a small room with an enraged super saiyan.

Komatsu had just called him stupid, and that made Nasu roll his eyes again in irritation. The saiyan boy was pushing his boundaries a little too much now. The irritation was so much that, when he said that he could’ve just locked them away after the battle, Nasu had enough. He frowned his brows and seriously stared at his younger brother.

– Full out fight?! Against those weakling pieces of bureaucratic and corrupted little shits?! Lock them away to encumber the Alliance by feeding those bastards?! On top of that we, as of now, have no prison quarters… It was sort of destroyed during my fight. The fuck is going on with you anyway?! Your words about not killing and bullshit seems almost like they are coming out of that Kami bitch’s mouth! – he said in a rather accusing tone. Nasu wasn’t stupid. In fact he was very cunning and he was easy to notice things. Komatsu had been acting weird lately, and especially different from the angry little raised-by-the-Empire Komatsu he met on Earth. ”The fuck is going on with this kid?” he wondered, and his continuously increasing curiosity only made him slightly more angered.

He was about to say something about the bitch, and Nasu narrowed his eyes when he said that, but then he reacted to the words about Etorin. It was indeed surprising that Etorin managed to do all that, and Nasu sighed in shame. It was a shame the Alliance had become a joke among the universe, known as a weak and docile faction, that most of the greatest factions in the universe wouldn’t even bother to attack or try to harm in anyway; this made their saiyans softer and weaker and allowed for a bastard like Etorin, unconscionable, to acquire the ultimate power.

– I don’t give a shit about him gloating in the afterlife or not! It was a necessary display of power and… He went on suicidal mode that destroyed almost all of the prison quarters and killed some saiyans that were foolish enough not to listen to my flee orders. – he said, sighing. Another vein popped out of his temple. – And mom didn’t kill him because… I don’t know… Maybe because of her own softness, or because of dad’s softness! In the end, their softness allowed this place to become a joke of the universe! We have no powerful warriors! One of the few worthy is uncle Miso, and even he grew softer! – he mentioned with an annoyed tone. - He and Karota had a baby saiyaness… Just a few years old and Etorin used her as a hostage to keep Miso at bay and he surrendered to him. Karota went to the mountains and recoiled herself. – he said, sighing a bit. – Leaving this place without any other fighter that was strong enough to face Etorin. You see, brat?! What this place has become? I can’t stand this! Our parents were the strongest in the universe! They were supposed to be feared and respected, but after they died… They left this place to dust! I can’t take it! Despite the annoying happy-go-luck peace shit environment, this is our parents’ last memento! I won’t see it becoming a joke! – and there was some fiery determination in his eyes.

– I will lay purge on all our enemies! I’m putting those saiyans into fighting shape! And our first target was going to be Earth, to make sure the bitch would resurrect you like she promised me and Athren! But, since she failed to fulfill her promise, and you had to find your way out of death… Well… This means she didn’t try hard enough and should be punished. – then he briefly paused. – But, to be realistic, I can’t win against her right now. And we don’t have enough of an army… So Earth will have to wait. We will attack it and kill her after we destroy Planet Vegeta, and turn the Saiyan Empire into space dust! This is our first goal! So I suggest you reach super saiyan material soon, brat! Because right now you are but the forth strongest in this planet, and this is not enough for me! – Nasu really meant it, it was clear in his eyes. He could be many things, but he wasn’t a liar, he never was. The new Overseer was known for speaking his mind almost all the time.

Still, if there was any improvement, as feeble as it may seems, in his overall personality, was that he wasn’t giving in to pure rage anymore. In past occasions, if Komatsu antagonized him as he did, Nasu would already be solving this issue not by talking, but through fighting. Still, he had a loooong way to go to actually become what their parents wanted him to be.

Nasu growled a bit with Komatsu’s words, they were really annoying and already pushing him to the edge of his patience. – Be careful, brat! I’m happy you are alive, and I’m more patient than I used to be, but don’t push your luck! – he limited himself to say. There was plenty more he would like to say in response to Komatsu’s words, but it wouldn’t be said in a nice tone, so he chose not to speak. He didn’t want to taint the meeting they just had after his death, and therefore, he only continued to fly towards their home. The rest of the journey was in silence, but Nasu would glare to Komatsu every now and then, with irritation burning deep inside his eyes.

As soon as they got to their home and opened the door, Miso was there, sitting in the couch with his battle suit on. He was holding a glass of mead and savoring it. However, the second he stared at Komatsu, he widened his eyes and arched his brows in surprise, almost like he was seeing a ghost.

[Power Level: 104,899]

– K-komatsu?! But how?! Nasu said you were dead! – he said, quickly getting up from the couch and throwing the glass of mead to the corner of the living room. The glass shattered when it hit the floor, but neither him nor Nasu seemed to care all that much. Nasu sighed and folded his arms as he approached his uncle. – Seems like mom and dad managed to get him back to life. It’s very unbelievable, but I don’t doubt they could pull such a trick. They are who they are after all; I guess this comes with privileges even on the other side. – the young Overseer said, with a serious and thoughtful tone. Miso nodded and also folded his arms. – True enough, Nasu. Anyway… - he paused, staring at Komatsu and smirking with the corner of his mouth. – So you are back to the realm of the living! Heh! Good job, maggot! I’m glad to see you back home! Nasu told me what happened with you in the Empire. You earned my respect for handling such terrible shit! Hehe. – and, despite his cocky and slightly irritating tone, there was pride for his nephew in his tone. Miso was like that: he still had a lot of the Empire in him, but Natto trusted him a lot, and the two siblings used to get along quite well, despite their differences.

– Is Koko still alive? – Miso asked. Koko was Natto’s younger sister, another super saiyan that was still affiliated with the Empire, but before Komatsu could say much, Nasu would interrupt. – I don’t care about that treacherous bitch! I want to know what happened with you, Komatsu! You said that you would start answering when we reached home, so, start spitting it out! – Nasu’s tone was demanding, but there was also concern in it.

When Komatsu said that nobody cared about his situation with the Empire, Nasu just rolled his eyes in his orbits, feeling rather annoyed by his words, but decided not to respond. Miso didn’t even care about such accusation, and the true reason behind it was because he thought the painful experience would be good to give the youngest kid a strong backbone, as it was now proved. Then, when Komatsu said that he hadn’t seen his aunt, Miso just shrugged. – It would be a real shame if she was dead. She was a fierce fighter. An annoying conceited bitch, but a fierce fighter nonetheless. Heh. – Miso commented, and Nasu snorted again: he hated Koko due to the time he was utterly humiliated by her and Miso, when they attacked Planet Natto, over a decade ago.

Then, Komatsu started answering questions and Nasu stared at him, focused. Miso nodded when asked to stick around and sit back on the couch in a relaxed position. – Spit it out, maggot! – he said, in his normal tone. Like Nasu had expected, their parents were hot shots in the afterlife too, and managed to get themselves a favor from King Yemma himself, whoever that bastard was, he was probably important over there if he could grant people their lives back. Then, he mentioned that in order to leave the afterlife, he needed assistance, and the assistance he got was no other than Kami. Nasu frowned his brows and gritted his teeth immediately, feeling his anger building up inside of him.

Miso, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes, touching his chin. – Kami? I thought the bastard was dead. – Miso mentioned, still oblivious to the fact that Komatsu was mentioning another person entirely. This fact would soon become clear, when he said that Kami’s name was Kimiko. Nasu didn’t seem to care at first, just snorting again, feeling his anger increasing inside his heart. Miso, on the other hand, acquired a quite wary feature. – Kimiko, you said? – he asked, with his suspicions only increasing, while Nasu remained clueless. Then, when Komatsu spoke again, Nasu got completely shocked. He made it seems like that bastard albino was their sister! – What the fuck?! – he exclaimed in disbelief, completely startled by Komatsu’s claim. When he continued to speak, Nasu just slowly shook his head from one side to the other, widening his eyes almost like they were getting filled with panic and rage. – No way! No fucking way! There’s no fucking way this is true!!! – and as he said that, his tone continued to increase until he started screaming. Nasu clenched both his fists and a vein popped out of hi temple.

– SHE MUST HAVE BRAINWASHED YOU!!! THIS IS A BULLSHIT LIE!!! THERE’S NO WAY!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!! I WOULD HAVE KNOWN!!! – he started screaming, and his power level began to rise quite a lot, almost like he was about to transform due to pure rage. That was when Miso got up and gave a fierce slap to Nasu’s face, an action that caught him by complete surprised and shocked him immensely.

– W-what?! You dare… - but before he could say anything, Miso glared at him with an angry look on his face. – Shut the fuck up, stupid ass maggot! Don’t go all spoiled shitty brat on me! This story is true, your father told me. – he said with a serious tone. Nasu stared at his uncle with eyes wide open. – H-how?! I would’ve know! It’s… Impossible! – he said with a shaky voice. Miso snorted. – Fucking not! You were still in an incubation chamber when she was born, maggot! You were, what? Two years old at the time? Yeah, I guess that’s right! And they had to send her to Earth, otherwise their relationship with Kami would become even shittier! Now, about the other girl, that’s a whole other story, and a quite complicated one… I will let the brat tell you that! I have no patience for educating spoiled little shits! – he said, dropping himself back to the couch and sighing in irritation as his index and middle fingers massaged his temple. Nasu stared at Komatsu with anger in his eyes. – Komatsu, explain! – he said in a bossy tone, but he was desperate. That much was clear in his eyes.
