Councillor Meeting (Invite Only!)

Everyone did seem disgusted with Miso’s joke and their expression didn’t even try to hide it; even Karota rolled her eyes too. – Pig. – she simply said to him. Then, Komatsu, who was just there with his nose upturned contest his claim of forgetting he was there, calling it bullshit, making Miso scoff a bit; he really did have forgot about the kid, not that he was there, but that the joke would sound really awful to him the most since, well, he was the only one truly related by blood to the two of them, Toru and Kyuri. Luckily, this subject died the moment Miso began to explain what the heck was going on around these parts. Toru became hostile when Miso brought Etorin up; they all knew how much Toru… Well… How much the UNIVERSE hated Etorin, but good grief he was dead right now, and Karota would be the one to inform him that to put his heart more at ease.

The hybrid saiyaness gently touched Toru’s skinny shoulder; it felt rather weird to see him in such a state. Toru used to be a muscular and health looking warrior. – Etorin is dead now. He had been vaporized by Nasu when he came back to the Alliance… When his heart was in the right place. – she said to him in a caring tone. ”And you will be nourished back to health, my friend! You will get back to your top shape! I promise I will be there for you!” and that part she said only in her own mind, not because it would cause any trouble, but mostly because she didn’t want to change the focus on the subject from the important matter for the whole Alliance, to Toru’s state; on top of that, keeping on mentioning how bad he looked right now could possibly affect his pride as a saiyan warrior, and that nobody really wanted to do, not even by accident.

Toru began to speak again, this time about his daughter, who he was still having trouble calling by the new name. Her attitude seemed to be rather awful, but then he blamed the corruption and that made perfect sense; Karota was there when it happened and she knew that the only reason Leena accepted to drink the cursed water was to save her father’s life. The hybrid saiyan continued, questioning if they really did worse to Nasu and pointed out that the Cerulean Empire was crawling with demons left and right. Karota sighed at that information and made a brief nod, showing she was about so say something right now.

– Leena just drank the water to save your life. She cared about you… or at least wanted you alive very much. She was much more caring before, I can assure you of that and we will restore her back to her former self. – she paused briefly. – And I guess that only makes sense… For the Empire to be filled with demons… The demon queen seems to play the role of right hand of the King Caesar while, in truth, from what I was capable of sensing, Jarvis is but her puppet and she is discretely playing with his strings. I can’t help but to think that she is the real ultimate enemy… - and then she paused to massage her temples a bit. – She is spreading her influence across the cosmos like a virus… She already took over her own realm, from what Kyuri told us after her first meeting with Nasu… Now she is in control of the Saiyan Empire, Cerulean I mean, whatever… - she grimaced, still having trouble adapting to the new name. – And she even spread her influence over to the Saiyan Alliance, through Leena and now she managed to do something on Nasu that we have no clue of what it is. The only thing we know for sure is that it’s not the water and that it’s much worse. – she explained in a grieving tone.

Once she finished speaking, Komatsu started, asking if he had done it to himself and Miso nodded, confirming Nasu most likely did. – You know how he is… He is power hungry… - he cut Komatsu’s speech a bit, before allowing him to continue. The boy had a pretty good observation for someone in their right mind; Nasu was already the strongest and maybe he would eventually be able to ascend to his super saiyan two form on his own. Well, maybe that could take him a while longer, but, still, he would definitely be able to do it. What surprised Karota and Miso was that Komatsu had agreed with his fight against Kimiko, making the duo to raise their brows a bit. – Y-you supported him? For real?! – Miso asked in disbelief, but Karota put the pieces together really quickly. – Makes sense in the end, doesn’t it, Miso? – she asked her mate. He stared at her, then at Komatsu and back at her. – I… Suppose? But surprised me he agreed with that… - he admitted, but Karota shook her head. – Komatsu is as prideful as any saiyan. He knows how much we value restoring our pride, isn’t that right, Koma? – it was more of a rhetorical question than a real question, but she believed she understood the kid’s opinion on that matter.

Then, Komatsu added that Kimiko must be even stronger than Nasu as she was probably training her ass off and most likely sensed what was going on in the planet. That made Karota narrow her eyes and think about it for a second. ”Is she really… Let’s see…” the hybrid saiyaness closed her eyes, focusing on her absurd ability to sense ki energy across the galaxy. It would take a short while, but she would let them talk while she tried to find Kimiko. It shouldn’t be too hard if she was really that mad strong. While she was focusing, Toru said that he reminded Kimiko and even pointed out he helped train her a few times, reminding them all that he was originally a Z-Fighter too and a disciple of the previous Kami. Finally, he questioned how they were planning on stopping the fight and Kyuri was the one to answer, saying they weren’t going to do that, revealing they would be working as damage control and that they wanted him as part of the team.

– We will let them fight to their hearts contempt! Heh! – Miso started. – And then, whoever wins… If the other looks like it’s about to die, we all step in. The winning side should be weakened after such an intense fight and we will be most likely capable of stopping it and avoiding some shit. – he explained, pausing for a second. – If Nasu wins, good! He will have restored his pride and hopefully he will let it go. He was talking about just beating her before… Now, after this stupid evil, I believe he will try to kill her, but maybe we can beat some sense into him before he does that. If Kimiko wins… Well… Then I think she is more likely to spare him anyway… But the main point is… We have to avoid their deaths but, before that, we have to avoid the Z-Fighters to stick their noses up into their fight! – and his tone became more serious as his smirk disappeared. – You know just how damaging that would be, right? Especially if Nasu was winning? He would, who knows? Try to blow the fucking planet? And we can’t have that. So… This is part of the plan! – he paused to take a deep breathe; Miso was getting tired, but he needed to continue. – The other part happens after the fight and for that we need Kimiko alive. The cursed water, as Karota said, can be nullified by the sacred water Kami has… I believe you drank it in the past too, right, brat? Anyway… As for Nasu… If the evil doesn’t start fading away after the fight… Then we gather the dragon balls and wish it to go away! Not the most practical route, I know, but that’s the best plan we could make! If there’s anything you would like to add, be my guess! – he finished and shrugged it a bit.

Meanwhile…

Little by little Nasu’s body began to get used to be out there in space and that made him relax. The tension seemed to be going away and even his lungs were adapting to that. Another thing happened too: his ki aura began to serve as a catalyst to the nearby oxygen of the planet and, little by little, his lungs were filled with enough air so that he could start breathing; at first very very slowly, but it was improving over time and, after a few minutes there, focusing on harnessing the fullest potential of his new form, he managed to fully breath even if he was outside of the planet atmosphere. He started going far from it to test his limits, but he realized he couldn’t go completely out of the final layer of atmosphere: it made the source of air way too far away and he took a mental note of that, returning to the very edge he could be at and be fully functional.

– Good! Hehehehehahahaha! This is already too impressive! Means I won’t ever have a stupid fucking death as dad’s mother! That would definitely surprise some Kold demons motherfucker, but that’s beyond the point! Hahahaha! With this skill trained I may be able to blow that shithole of a planet, if those damn motherfuckers don’t allow me to have a fair fight with the bitch! – he spoke to himself in a rather evil tone; Nasu’s containment plan was to blow the planet if he wasn’t allowed to have the fight he wanted, and by being able to temporarily survive in space would make that a viable plan, in the end. – Now… Let’s test using skills in this environment! Hahahah! I do feel more tired than usual… But, screw that! I have far more stamina than anyone I know! A tired me is still better than a fully rested piece of shit that lives in that shithole of a place anyway! – he said to himself, as he started testing the movements of his body.

His melee was fine, and normal ki blasts too. It was now time to focus on trying to fire stronger techniques, the ones who took plenty of tools in his body stamina. Even those were working, but he had to be really careful because of his tiredness; fighting in space was much harder and he had to be fully aware of that when choosing his techniques. Luckily, to him, to be able to blow Earth wouldn’t even take half of his current available power, meaning he could do so without tiring a lot, and that was enough.

– Now let’s go back! I need to rest a little and get back on my ship but… Wait a second… - he thought to himself, as he narrowed his eyes, sensing quite a lot of strong power levels gathering in the Soy Council Hall. – What are those motherfuckers planning?! I swear to god if they try to stop me I will break them all!! – he spoke to himself, feeling the visceral rage burning up inside his heart.

But he didn’t go back right away, he would wait and see if those powers would remain there for a longer time or not.
Learning [ST-2] Space Resistance

Back at the meeting room…

Karota was still focusing on finding Kimiko, and Miso stared at Toru, Kyuri and Komatsu, awaiting for them to say anything about the plan. The large saiyan General was getting worried they may have been wasting time; they needed to end their planning before Nasu came back and confronted them. ”He will most definitely come back raging in anger…” he thought to himself, exhaling sharply.

That was indeed true and they all knew that; Tomoroko and Toru were too forgiving and gave Etorin way too many chances and that almost cost the lives of Miso, Kyuri and the baby Tamari when he managed to take over the Overseer position in the Saiyan Alliance, and Miso would make sure he knew that. – Hell yeah, you too did give him way too many outs! And that almost cost me my life, my daughters’ life and… If Kyuri wasn’t part android, that would have cost her life too! We give chances to those who can be saved, not to completely rotten pieces of shit! – he said in a not so nice tone; Miso hated Etorin for threatening his daughter as he truly cared for his baby girl. Then, Komatsu raised one of his eyebrows with his following words stating he was surprised he was supporting it and the saiyan boy brought up a pretty good point: Kimiko had also been responsible for the attack that culminated with his death. The boy even said that he would feel some satisfaction in seeing her elder sister getting beat up by Nasu.

He pointed out that it was supposed to be just a duel and he wanted to be there to make sure no one would stick up their noses, adding that there weren’t many of them who could put up a fight against Komatsu, and that was a very good information for them; if they didn’t have that much power, then the squad they were about to take there would indeed be more than enough to make sure they wouldn’t interfere and, if they did try to interfere, they could neutralized them without any possibility of suffering casualties. If things really did become an all-out battle, Miso needed to make sure no one on both sides would end up dying; not because he cared about the worthless lives of the Z-Fighters that had no blood relation to him, but because he didn’t want the Alliance to be at war with another strong faction of the universe. They didn’t need another enemy. On top of that, he didn’t trust the Cerulean Empire at all, nor did Karota and, if they ended up as enemies of Earth, then Jarvis could most definitely take advantage of that to overpower them and destroy the Saiyan Alliance. What he would gain from that was still unknown and the possibility could even be minimal, but one thing was there for sure: he would get rid of a potential threat to his Empire, and that was something Miso could see himself doing if he was in Jarvis’ shoes.

After that, Komatsu said that he could get in contact with her and, before Miso could get really concerned about that, he mentioned that Nasu already knew that, and he relaxed, listening to what his nephew had to say in silence. He suggested they could inform her of their coming, but Miso didn’t know if it was a good thing, at least this soon, but before he could speak anything, Toru offered himself to go to Earth before the group so that he could explain the situation to Kimiko and the other Z-Fighters, saying he may be capable of convincing them of their “good will”, but that made Miso scoff. Kyuri then spoke too, asking if he was sure since he had just returned from prison and was really tired and all, but he said that both Nasu and Leena needed him and that he also wanted to go look for his second son, Ruttsu, who, ironically, had just been on Planet Natto a few days ago, but nobody knew it was him and he ended up leaving way too soon.

Karota was still focusing and didn’t seem to be pay attention to their conversation, or, if she was, decided not to spoke for now, and the Miso started. – This is a hasty, shitty and terrible idea! Do you have any idea what Nasu would think of it at his current state of mind?! He is not thinking straight and he had been avoiding me and Karota like crazy and, before he reached super saiyan two, while we tried to dissuade him of this madness, he beat us both to the pulp, leaving us in the medical machine for hours! – he roared, trying to make them all remember or get to know the sort of situation they were in. – If we go ahead and warn them so early, they may not believe us and we may face an absurd resistance, with them maybe deciding they don’t want to risk their boss’ life in a duel against a clearly evil foe! Did you guys take that into account?! That Nasu is freaking exhaling evilness out of his damn aura?! Anyone with a basic ki sensing ability can tell that! – he took a very deep breath and ran his hand through his golden hair before continuing. – Still… I know we would have to warn them, but I guess we can do this when we are hours from Earth. This way, military wise, they wouldn’t be able to be so prepared and the duel will be much more likely to occur. But that’s my opinion! And as a Council Meeting, I think we should open it to vote! – he said, staring at the others.

Once Miso finished, Karota opened her teal eyes and stared at all of them; she seemed rather concerned. – I’ve sensed Kimiko’s power and… She is even stronger than Nasu, as unbelievable as it may seem… It’s not by a hell lot so that they can’t have a decent duel but… If she masters the super saiyan two form, Nasu won’t have a chance unless he does the same… Well, of course we can’t tell him that, but… With that in mind, I don’t think she needs an early warning too. On top of that, I’ve sensed another strong person, a little stronger than you Komatsu and… While his aura seems good… There’s some corruption in it… And also… Jarvis is there too. – she said, sighing a bit as she folded her arms once again. Miso made a nod and stared at the others, waiting for a decision.

Meanwhile…

Just outside the Planet, Nasu waited, but the gathering of power levels didn’t seem to be going anywhere and that just pissed him off a little more. – What are they plotting?! Are they planning something to stop me?! Are they betraying me to protect that whore?! I swear to god! If they do that… I will beat the shit out of them all!!! – he yelled with anger taking over his darkened heart. Then, he intensified his ki aura to its maximum potential as he made up his mind; he was going to confront them and see what this little meeting was all about. The Overseer reentered the atmosphere at an absurd speed, with fire burning hot around his aura, but leaving him completely unscathed as he headed straight towards the Soy Council Hall, where everyone was. His power could be sensed approaching at an impressive speed, and his anger could also be sensed; he was almost out of his right mind.

Back at the Council Meeting room…

Karota widened her eyes a lot, almost like if they were about to jump of her face as her heart skipped a beat; she was sensing Nasu’s anger and he was approaching. – Oh, fuck! – she exclaimed as she was the first one to notice it. As she spoke it, Miso also sensed his approach and that made him grit his teeth and get all tensed up. Then, he stared back at Kyuri, Toru and Komatsu with a quite stressed up look. – I hope you’ve made up your mind, because he is about to arrive here at any second now! So… What will it be?! – he asked in a hasty and rather harsh tone out or nervousness. Karota gulped and a drop of cold sweat ran down her temples. – Twenty two seconds now… – she warned them.

At that was the countdown for Nasu’s arrival. The aura of tension could almost be tasted by everyone on that room and even outside of it. It was almost like a bad omen, and there was no telling on how it would end.

Karota glared at Komatsu when he made a comment on Jarvis being there. She remembered pretty well about his little outburst when the android emissary showed him the image of the King Caesar of the Cerulean Empire; not matter what sort of quarrels Komatsu had with Jarvis, it had to be left in the past as the two factions were now allies, and that alliance made it possible for them to retrieve Toru. – Don’t even get ideas, Komatsu! Jarvis is not only stronger than you, but also our ally. I dislike it quite a lot too, we all do, but this alliance was what allowed Toru to come back here, so, whenever you feel like punching Jarvis’s irritating face, remember your uncle! He is here, and he is alive! And you have Jarvis to thank for that! – obviously she didn’t thank Jarvis for that, he was son of a bitch for even considering keeping an Alliance prisoner in jail after destroying the Saiyan Empire, but she had to play that game to put Komatsu’s anger in check.

It seemed that the issue had been settled, Komatsu decided not to communicate with Kimiko until they were about to arrive at the Earth, although it saddened Toru quite a lot. The hybrid saiyan said he didn’t want to cause more trouble, and that made Karota gently touch his shoulder. – Don’t worry! As soon as this shit is settled, we will help you find Ruttsu! I promise you that, Toru! – she said to him, in a kind and supportive tone. Kyuri was the next one to agree and even went as far as to inform the others of that. It seemed to be settled then. Still, before Nasu could arrive, Komatsu spoke again, saying that, despite sounding stupid, he wanted to be the one to shield everyone else from Nasu’s rage. – Are you fucking insane?! – he roared to the kid, but he was adamant about it and continued to defend his standpoint, saying Karota and Miso had already been beaten by Nasu, making the saiyan General to scoff and gaze away, annoyed by that humiliating memory, and then he also pointed out that Nasu could easily kill Toru and Kyuri. He knew he was completely unable to stop Nasu, but he could take a punch or too. Karota nodded to him.

– Although I believe that’s highly unlikely for him to seriously harm any of us, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Go ahead, Komatsu, you happen to be the strongest of us. – she said and she wanted to say more, such as tell Komatsu about the knocked out soldiers they found near Jie Shan’s chambers; Nasu hit them but not nearly enough as to seriously damage them, showing he still cared about the members of the Alliance, and that made her believe that he cared a little more for his family. But then Nasu had arrived. They could sense him landing on the Soy Council Hall with so much force that he created a small crater on the main hall. – He is here! – Miso exclaimed, getting all tensed up.

Shortly after that, Nasu approached the room quickly and, in a blink of an eye, he had vaporized the closed steel door with a controlled ki blast, so no damage would go beyond the door. He had a maddened expression on his face, and his teal-colored eyes, with black outlines due to the darker power stared at every single one of them. It lingered on Toru for a while longer, as it had been quite a while since the last time he had seen his uncle, but he didn’t say a word. It was the first time everyone was seeing him after he had acquired this power, and, damn, he looked terribly evil: his expression was much sharper and completely angered and he had veins popping out on both his temples and his shoulders, showing he was in a very tense state of spirit. His eyes were much darker and carried a deep, visceral anger inside of it. He was slightly bulkier than his fully powered super saiyan form. His hair was much more spiked and glowing a bit more, leaving just two locks of hair on his forehead, on the right side. His ki aura was very intense, filled with sparkles of blue lightning running through it and also through his body, scorching the floor beneath him, showing just how powerful he had become. But the most distinguishing trait he had now was the “M” mark on his head that was the source of all his evil. It seemed like it was now part of his flesh, not in a way a tattoo would be, but more of a scar, a very deep scar. He was gritting his teeth and growling a bit.

– Hello there! What are you all up to in here? Planning on foiling my plans?! – he immediately asked them. Karota widened her eyes but didn’t utter a word, but Miso couldn’t help but speak. – Foiling your plans?! What the f… - but before he could even finish, Nasu threw an angered glare at him and growled even louder. – Are you?! Are you foiling my plans, uncle?! – Nasu also had both his fists tightly clenched, showing he was, in a sense, battle ready. Miso gulped, feeling a drop of sweat running down his forehead and then he slowly stared at Komatsu with his eyes alone, hoping that the kid had a way to solve this situation without leading to misunderstandings; Nasu was already taking it as they were trying to come with some sort of plot to stop him or dissuade him. ”No way I will allow this fuckers to try and change my mind! I will beat every single one of the turn cloaks motherfuckers!!! If they decide to help Kimiko, they will be against me!!” he thought to himself in pure rage.

Tension took over the place as Nasu’s aura sparkled violently due to his sheer amount of power and dark evilness in his heart. He was almost exploding, just waiting for a little trigger that could justify him releasing all of his inner anger at those members of his family gathered inside that room. Miso didn’t answer right away and that just served to provoke him a little bit more as he tightened the grip on his already clenched fists. Komatsu was the first to speak, immediately attracting Nasu’s raging glare. He stared at his younger brother with his darkened teal-colored eyes, with the rage burning inside of it. Komatsu told him that no one was trying to foil his plans and that he had already told him that he supported his desire to fight against Atsuko and that made him growl a bit, but return to a more serious, less angered expression, but make no mistake; he was still on the breaking point and the slightest provocation could get him back to his full raging state.

– I do recall that. Good. – he simply said, but his tone was overly harsh despite the nature of his words and then he listened to what the boy still had to say. Komatsu told him that he was going to tag along, saying he wanted him to have this fight as much as he did, because he had died due to the action of Kimiko’s allies and her own; Nasu didn’t forget, she had also fired an attack that culminated in Komatsu’s deaths and that memory made his aura to flare even brighter and stronger, making the whole building shake like crazy, almost as if it was about to fall apart, but then he stopped, taking a deep breath and letting go of that rage. ”Vengeance will be mine soon… There’s no need to be angered now! I will have plenty of opportunities to throw my rage at that whore!” he kept on repeating to himself inside his head, as he breathed loudly, like an irritated person would. When Komatsu mentioned that he would be satisfied to see him beating her, that made Nasu crack an evil grin on his face.

– Oh, but you will! Because I won’t only beat her… I will fucking murder the sit out of her! And then I will murder her shitty little friends! And then, perhaps, if I’m in the mood, I will blow that fucking planet! Hahahahahaha! – his tone was delighted now, quite different from before, it was almost like he was already picturing the scene where he would finally bring her life to an end and that made him laugh out loud, almost in a maniacal way. Miso gulped and so did Karota, the two of them stared at each other before staring at Komatsu with a serious expression, but they didn’t say a word; there was no need for words, they could already exchange their thoughts with nothing but a look: they had to stick to the plan and avoid confronting Nasu right now. Everything was already planned and, if they acted as they had planned, they wouldn’t only be able to save the loser of the fight, but many more lives and the planet’s existence as a whole too.

Then, after this little stare, Miso looked back at Nasu and sighed. – What Komatsu says is true, Nasu. We support you. You are our Overseer, you are one of ours. You want to take revenge? We will be there for you to make sure no one interferes with your fight! – he said, with conviction, making Nasu arch one of his eyebrows, as his grin widened a bit. – Is that so? Interesting… Is that how you all think? – he asked, staring at all of them. He already knew now that Komatsu and Miso were in the same boat as him and, although he had been prepared for the worst; for having them all prepared to throw stones at him, he wasn’t surprised they agreed with him. From all of them, the only ones Nasu had hope of finding support were his brother and his uncle. That support made him calm down quite a lot, and his mood was much better than before now. His sparkling ki aura reduced a bit too and the environment became less overwhelming now.

Karota was the next to speak; the hybrid saiyaness sighed first, but then she stared at Nasu with quite a lot of determination in her teal-colored eyes. – Count me in too. You and Komatsu are the ones I truly know. I can’t speak for her and, if beating her, or killing her, whatever, is what it takes to set your heart at peace, I will be there for you and help you accomplish that, even if that means I will have to fight against the defenders of my old home. – and, although it pained her to be lying to him like that, she did so, and that made Nasu’s smile widen even more, becoming a delighted but evil smirk.

– Now that’s unexpected! Hahahaha! I came here thinking you all would be plotting to foil my plans, but… Three of you are already supporting me! Now, now… This is too good to be true, so… Grandmother, Uncle Toru… Come on, throw your shit at me, will you? At this point we have majority of the Council, and there isn’t shit you can do to try to fuck this up! Hahaha! – he said, with a rather cocky tone. Jie Shan wasn’t there, and he noticed that, but it didn’t matter; the council was composed of five members, and, with Miso and Karota, he had enough to be able to fully order that attack, and, with Komatsu tagging along, he already had a decent squad. Of course it would be better to have more allies, and he would probably invite Jie Shan, Leena and Pepper, maybe even Luffa, but that was something for him to think after he had settled the issue with the remaining two.

Komatsu said that he would be taking the rest of his squad with them in order to provide extra man power against the defenders of Earth, in case they tried to interfere with Nasu and Atsuko’s duel. The majin saiyan Overseer stared at his brother with his large smirk and nodded in agreement, thrilled by that suggestion. To be bringing a full war party to Earth made him thrive, and he could even feel the shivers running down his spine. Unbeknown to him, one of the members of Komatsu’s squad was the boy Karota and Miso had been talking about, the kind-hearted, but loyal to the core Negi, and he was on the brink of ascending to his super saiyan form, and that was perfect. The Alliance would be gaining a new super saiyan and to bring him along meant that they would most likely be able to equal the numbers of Z-Fighters with consistent and strong warriors and maybe they would even overpower them all. Nasu would really love that, but he was pretty confident about his possibility of winning with his newly acquired power.

Kyuri answered Nasu’s accusation by surprising him too, saying she wouldn’t be trying to stop him at all; she said that, since she would be pretty useless in Earth, she would stay behind to make sure things would be kept running. They really did need people, reliable people to stay behind , and protect Planet Natto just in case, and now Kyuri was also a super saiyan. Being able to transform didn’t make her into a decent fighter, though, so bringing her to Earth wouldn’t do much good, but defensive wise, her power could be useful to guard the planet and inspire the remaining members of the Saiyan Alliance’s army, and because of that, he nodded in agreement, still quite surprised she was on his side this time; Kyuri always seemed to antagonize Nasu’s decisions, not that this antagonist behavior wasn’t uncalled for, but, still, it was a rare occasion. – Hmm, interesting. Yes, it would be better if you stayed behind, and I will make sure we leave a decent warrior too, just in case. – he said, chuckling a bit. Now there was only Toru.

Nasu stared at his half-uncle with curiosity in his eyes; the great wave of support did good to ease his mind and heart, taking away most of his flaming anger. The rage was still there, in his darkened heart, but it was tamed now; he would kept it that way as much as he could, so that he could unleash it all at once and with full force on his sister, once he arrived on Earth. ”And she will suffer like she had never dreamed of! Hahahaha!” he thought to himself with cruelty. Anyway, Toru was there, smirking and staring Nasu right into his eyes, which left the Overseer quite puzzled. ”Will this moron defy me?! Will he be the only one to choose the wrong side?!” the majin super saiyan questioned himself, but that wasn’t the case. Even Toru, who was the most likely defender of Earth seemed to be on his side. The hybrid saiyan started with a little teasing, mentioning the fact that Nasu didn’t seem to care all that much that he was there, alive and kicking.

In truth, deep inside his heart, he cared a little, but that feeling was overshadowed by the heavy load of intense and bad feelings that were ruling his heart, so much that he didn’t even think about that. Nasu scoffed after he spoke and the laughed a bit, folding his arms in front of his chest. – Then you should better take a very good look at it! Because if I feel like it, I may really blow it to pieces! Hahahaha! And good thing you chose us instead of those fuckers! This shows loyalty, and I appreciate that! – he told Toru, and then he stared to the others. – I appreciate that from all of you! And I’m willing to listen to the war party you decided to form. I will have the final saying in that, but how about we talk about it now? – he said. After that, he immediately headed to an empty chair at the end of the cracked table – Miso had cracked it minutes ago – and sit there, staring at them. – Well? I’m waiting. – he stated. Karota and Miso stared at each other for a second, and then to Komatsu, wondering if the saiyan boy would like to be the one to inform Nasu of the squad they had planned. Although Nasu was much more at ease, they still didn’t feel very comfortable with him, and since Komatsu had done a very good job at calming the beast at the beginning, it only seemed fit that he should be the one to speak again.

– After discussing who, we will be discussing when, but that final part is more up to me, anyway. – he added, keeping the large and satisfied smirk on his face. At least he really did seem to be in a far better mood now.

Although he was in a fairly better mood, even going as far as to laugh a bit, he was still lacking in patience, and that could be easily noticed by the hammering of his fingers on the arm of his chair. The veins on his temple, pulsating with the inner never ending anger of his heart was also quite disturbing, but, at least, as they managed to state, Nasu was still himself, just… A worse version of him, where all of his bad traits had been absolutely enhanced and his good traits reduced and locked in the tiniest part of his heart. Komatsu began to speak on Nasu sit, and the majin super saiyan two stared at him right into his eyes. Seemed like they had already decided to leave both Kyuri and Jie Shan behind. Komatsu mentioned that, although he knew that Nasu fully trusted Jie Shan and would be likely to want him by his side when they attacked Earth, he found it better to leave him exactly because he was trustworthy, and that made quite a lot of sense, and Nasu nodded to that. It was a shame to not have the hybrid by his side, as he knew it all too well that he was beast at fighting, and enjoyed it quite a lot, making him a valuable asset to have, but, at the same time, for this very same qualities, he was the perfect warrior to be left behind. With Jie Shan protecting Planet Natto, it was almost completely out of any risk.

And that was exactly what they needed since most of the super saiyans were about to leave the planet. Still, having two super saiyans behind was much better than what the Saiyan Alliance had for the past years, when just Miso and Karota could reach the state, being the only warriors who could fight stronger enemies. Komatsu continued by saying that he would be tagging along, like he had said before, together with Miso, Karota and Toru. Then he said that his squad would also tag along, and, among them, there was the boy named Negi he had heard about before, from both Karota and Miso, referring to him as a boy with an enormous potential, and probably the next Super Saiyan of the Alliance. Komatsu went as far as to point out that Negi could probably ascend during their stay on Earth and that thrilled Nasu a lot. – Really? Is that boy this powerful? That’s quite interesting! Karota and Miso mentioned about him to me a couple weeks ago. – he mentioned, cutting Komatsu’s speech briefly, before he continued by saying that this possible ascension would give them four super saiyans other than Nasu, making them quite a fearsome squad.

But, as he finished speaking, Toru spoke, correcting him and saying they would have five super saiyans, making Nasu arch one of his eyebrows and stare at him, with curiosity in his eyes. Karota and Miso also stared at him with curiosity and hope in their eyes, especially Karota, who really wished he could still transform; she knew it all too well how frustrating it was for them, hybrids, to lose their power as fast as they gained it. Then, as people stared at him, he defended himself, making Nasu chuckle a bit. – Hahaha… Seems like you are the same as you were! Those motherfuckers failed to kill your sense of humor. – Nasu mentioned in quite a good mood. – Oh, he would lose his life before losing that! Of that I’m sure! – Miso said briefly, and Nasu nodded in agreement.

Once they stopped speaking, Komatsu continued, correcting himself, now mentioning the possibility of five super saiyans, which was far more than Nasu had expected before. He said that his team wasn’t weak either and that they would be quite capable of holding the Z-Fighters and that was good; the possibility of Nasu having the duel he wanted was just increasing and now he could rest more relaxed. Then, he said that they would need to take the Star Javelin, and that he could also use his ship, but then Karota spoke. – Oh that regard… Well… While the Star Javelin is a must, I think we should rather take the smaller ships of the Alliance, in order to not make them go crazy. I suggest we take both the Brave Vesperian and the Heaven’s Arrow, instead of your ship, Komatsu. – she mentioned, but the others didn’t seem to mind all that much, and didn’t say a thing; for Nasu it didn’t really matter now that they had the numbers and the man power.

Finally, when they reached the “when” part of the plan, he said that it would be better if they went there as soon as possible, since Atsuko could sense them, and that would give her time to prepare and Nasu nodded to that, but Karota was the one to speak first. – We will need to suppress our energies while we travel, that will mean nothing but light training during the trip. – and Nasu nodded to that. – Yeah! We don’t want to spoil the surprise, do we? Hahaha! – he complemented Karota’s words. Then, Miso spoke too. – I was also thinking of taking Leena and Gina with us, they are strong and… - but, before he could finish his speech, Nasu interrupted him, with a far more serious expression now; Leena was an itchy subject for him and, ever since she found out that he was blood to her and after the cursed water affecting her personality, their relationship became slightly colder and that irritated him deeply. – She won’t be coming. She will remain here. It’s a third super saiyan to take care of things. That’s not up to discussion. – and his tone made sure that no one would be insisting on pushing that matter.

Miso shrugged and sighed. – Well, then… The party is settled! So, when are we leaving? – he asked, and that made Nasu’s cocky grin to take over his face again as he chuckled almost cruelly.

– We leave right now. Get your stuff together, order them to put the medical machine in the Star Javelin in case we need it. We will be meeting again at the hangar in an hour! Inform your underlings, Komatsu! – he said, in a rather excited tone. – Oh, and I almost forgot! I will be taking Pepper too. He is a decent pilot and he is getting stronger. – he said, but then Miso decided to speak too. – He is, indeed, Nasu. But he is still far too weak. If he tags along, and of that I’m in agreement with you because of his skills, it would be better to leave him at the ship, in case we need it. – he said and Karota nodded in agreement. Nasu stared at the two of them and nodded too. – That’s fair enough. Inform him of that immediately and tell him to report to the hangar at once. He will be the one preparing the ship. – he said, and the two super saiyans nodded in agreement. The team had been decided, it would be composed of Nasu, Miso, Karota, Pepper, Toru, Komatsu and his squad. Then, Nasu got up from his chair as he got ready to leave.

If anyone had anything else to speak to him about it, they would need to do it now, otherwise he would be heading towards the exit of the room.
