"KIMIKO!!!" As soon as Komatsu approached the lookout he was already calling out for his sister, having once more completely forgot the fact that he might be able to call out to her telepathically. He would land on the edge of the lookout with a loud BANG, destroying quite a few tiles under his feet before booking it towards the palace. Honestly, it almost sounded more like Komatsu was about ready to attack the lookout if it wasn't for the tone of panic in his voice.
"WE NEED YOU OUT HERE, NOW" He cried out, his voice only being covered up by the sound of Christopher screaming once more. That sedative that Kyuri had given him didn't end up lasting very long at all, and the young saiyan could already feel his head ringing with his cousin's screams.
It was only a few moments later that the Super Saiyan Android landed on the lookout, rushing behind Komatsu and retrieving another sedative the minute she got close to him.
"This really isn't lasting all that long... without my equipment I can't really figure out what's wrong with him..." She complained, giving him another shot of the sedative in hopes that it would at least help a little bit. While some of the symptoms were similar to Komatsu's previous Ki poisoning, it wasn't identical... was this just a variation of that? Sadly she couldn't even call on Karota to find out. Well, that was probably for the best anyways considering where they were now.
Chris had felt someone carry him during this whole trip through the sky. Someone had helped him, and the only one he could assume was that it had been his cousin. He felt blind to everything passing around him, he couldn't see with this pain forcing his eyes closed, even with the pain relievers doing very little to help with the pain. Something wasn't right, he couldn't even sense ki of the others, he couldn't sense anyone nearby him, even though he could feel the actual touch of others, he couldn't feel ki. This virus blocking off his very access to the life energy.
Chris body wasn't doing much better on the outside either. Sweat was racing off of his head rather crazily, and his skin extremely pale. To make all the matters worse, his Power Level was barely keeping up at five and was slipping up and down between four point nine and five. The only thing truly keeping it from dropping to zero was his pure will and pressure he was putting on his body. If his master was unable to help soon, there was a chance he could actually die..and with that his power dropped to four..time was running out.

The Knight was spending more of her time training in the Pendulum Room. The Albino Saiyan had found a particularly useful training regime; Planet Vegeta under the regime of the Saiyans. It gave her countless foes to fight, and it let her vent out her frustrations for her race. All with the added benefit of not needing to use any of her transformations to keep up with her enemies. Training was just flat out more effective if you could remain in your base form, and she knew this well. She had already mastered each of the Super Saiyan forms, so there was no need to train them further...
Atsuko didn't hold back against the Saiyans within the Pendulum Room, however. Her fighting style was ruthless and efficient, but it was also aimed to cause as much pain as possible, to break their bodies and their spirits in one fell swoop. The Saiyan didn't make use of the Sacred Sword while doing this, preferring not to dirty the blade with her own personal vendetta. Her enemies would generally pass out from the sheer pain inflicted upon them, she knew better than to spare them now. A wonderful lesson from her older brother.
Hell, maybe it was better to do this against all of her enemies, inflict such a great amount of pain that they become fearful of it happening to them again... But they needed to be afraid of more than just one person. The Albino Saiyan would sigh at that thought, the training would come to an end and she'd find herself standing on the Timeless Lookout once more, she began to calmly walk through the halls of the Palace, only to then hear shouting and screaming. "Dammit, what's going on now?!", she voiced her frustration before running through the halls now.
Making use of her senses and following the noises, she was able to pinpoint the exact locations and arrive in a very short amount of time... That was when she realized that Christopher was among them, but his power... Only because she could see him physically, she could now sense his minimal power. At the very sight, Excalibur would immediately take Human form at Atsuko's side, but the Knight would immediately walk over and kneel down, she grasped the sheath at her side and then began to hold it over Chris. "Excalibur, I need you to do something for me."
She spoke with urgency in her tone of voice. "What is it?", the woman in red asked. "Go and find medicine. You know everything about this affliction that I do; he wasn't born with it. It came very suddenly and grew worse just as suddenly. Now it threatens to take his life. He's too young for it to be any normal heart condition. That's enough information to find the medicine we need! Go speak to any Doctor that you can find and find out what's needed to fix this!", she explained. The Sacred Sword would give a nod in response.
"I'm going to stabilize him as best as I can... I don't know if I'll be able to save his life, as soon as you get the medicine, by whatever means you deem necessary, bring it back here.", with that, Excalibur would shoot off the Timeless Lookout. Atsuko shifted her attention entirely to Chris, and then began to focus her energy. "Avalon, I ask of thee to restore that which has become broken. Grant me strength so that the world might be mended.", she spoke the incantation with a surprising pace, but a well practiced one where she said the words clearly.
The Knight was surrounded in an otherworldly golden glow, as was the sheath, and so too was Christopher. This was different from the golden energy associated with the Super Saiyan forms. Atsuko was concentrating all of the healing she could into Chris, particularly towards his heart, but there was no telling that this would actually work... At best, it would buy them time, but if that was the case then she had to try! Excalibur wouldn't keep them waiting for too long. The Saiyan had her eyes closed, keeping as much of her focus on this task as possible.
"If anyone knows what to do in order to make him more stabilized... This is the perfect time. We need as much time as we can get until Excalibur can return with the medicine.", the Knight would state aloud, directed towards Komatsu and Kyuri. She didn't recognize that other Saiyan, but she wasn't worried about that right now. Atsuko refused to lose her student again! Even after she spent all that time training, she was willing to run herself even further ragged just to save his life. It was a rare glimpse into one of her more vulnerable moments.
Meanwhile... Excalibur was making use of the power of a Super Saiyan Three at full power in order to move as fast as was possible. She knew where the cities were located, and at times saw a few of the hospitals and doctor's offices... Atsuko was thorough with her Far-Seeing Arts, and that would be a strong advantage in this. Soon enough Excalibur would find her way into a medical facility and begin to converse with the staff in attempts to find the medicine that Chris needed. There had to be something that would work... Excalibur would give the details as clearly as she could.
She went on to urge them to hurry, because someone was dying from it right now. Few voiced argument against that and at least some of them began to look into the records and medicines in order to deal with the issue. Excalibur paced impatiently, it was true that her Wielder was buying time, or at least trying to... But every second wasted was another step closer to death for Chris. If she just knew what medicine was needed, they'd be able to resolve the issue in almost no time at all. No such luck.
So they had to do things in a fairly complicated way.

Komatsu was fidgety as he hung onto Chris, letting both Kyuri and soon Atsuko, do their thing to heal him as best they could while Excalibur was sent away to get medicine for him. He had zero idea what was going on here and grew increasingly worried that his cousin might actually die of this... what where the implications of dying from a heart virus? Would be still have a chance to get his body in the after-life and come back again or not?
"A heart condition?" Komatsu began but Kyuri spoke up before Komatsu could really say much of anything.
"That makes sense with his symptoms." She would say, stepping back long enough to let Atsuko use her own healing abilities to heal Chris. It did give her an idea as to how she could properly diagnose the problem...
"Let's get him inside, Atsuko, right? Is there a room we can lie him down in hun? I'll need him comfortable while you and Komatsu use your healing abilities on him. I'll be able to use my scanners more effectively if you two can keep him sedated. It might give your Excalibur more information to go off of when looking for that medicine." She would say, ushering Komatsu to follow Atsuko if she agreed. Whether she brought them in or not, Kyuri would have Komatsu lay Chris down, instructing her grandson to begin healing him along with Atsuko.
With that, she would open her left hand, her palm opening up what looked like a secret compartment. She pulled out a few of the wires hidden away there and slipped them into Chris Gi so she could place them on his chest, around his heart. Her right hand would move to prevent him from ripping them off.
Immediately, all sorts of data on Chris' health was silently being fed into her partially mechanical mind. It would take a few moments for her to start deciphering what was going on inside of him.
"There's no blockage but there's a lot of stress on his heart, something making it go into overdrive and tire it out... Maybe a bacteria or a virus? I'm scanning his blood now for any signs of an infection." Kyuri would report, seeming lost in thought as she processed all of the information. Her right hand would then more up to the sides of his neck and back of his head, poking around for something as she tried to get more accurate information for Excalibur.
"Lymph nodes are fine so I don't think it's bacterial. Tell Excalibur this if you could? I think it'll help narrow down the search." She would summarize, finally seeming to come out of her trance and looking over to Atsuko.
Chris truly was barely hanging in through all the agonizing pain. To be honest he wasn't sure how long he would be able to hold off against this as well. In fact every single moment he felt like he was going to lose control and that it would just be the end for him. He wasn't even possible if he would be able to recover from such if he did die even. That was what kept him worried as much so. If he couldn't come back from this, than everything he had trained so hard to learn would just all be for nothing! He hated the feeling of being useless to help others.
However there was something Chris did begin to notice, as he felt someone laying him down. He heard voices, although somewhat muffled, and although he couldn't truly hear what they were saying. He recognized them by how he heard them earlier, he heard Atsuko, he hear Komatsu, he even heard that one lady Kyuri. He recognized them all but he just couldn't hear what they were saying. A ringing just coursing in his ears keeping him from hearing any of their words. The way the words sounded though even all garbled up sounded truly panicked. They were all worrying for him.
There was something he felt begin to alleviate some of the pain..but not fully. In fact the pain was slowly coming back, though whatever was doing this it was slowing it down at least. Especially as the second one began, it had slowed down quite a bit, but even this magical power wouldn't be able to hold off against this virus for long, the virus was just too strong for such to stay gone just because of a management of ki. Especially since ki was what made it stronger every time he had tried to fight it. There...was one last thing he could try, one last new attempt that he hadn't even tried before. Maybe, just maybe he could do one quick thing before it was blocked off as well.
His body truly felt numb as he could no longer fell, rather almost feeling within like a simple soul floating in an eternal dark void. Only there was just nothing in an entirety. Still he focused, for one last attempt at least, even if it was just one word would just be amazing. Focusing with one last attempt at telepathy he attempted to send to Atsuko one word. "Virus" Before everything went dark within his mind, unknowingly having confirmed what Kyuri had said. Everything..all feeling just gone. Once more...he felt fear again. One thing for sure however...was that as soon as excalibur got back here. Chris would need the medicine immediately.
WC: 461 TWC: 667
Attempting to Learn ST-1 Telepathy to send a single word to Atsuko.
They started moving Chris inside, so he could be rested onto a bed. Atsuko kept pace as best as she could while keeping her focus. Thankfully she wasn't rendered entirely immobile while trying to keep the healing properties of Avalon active. It seemed to be doing a little bit to help him, as well... Though not enough to fix the problem. Still, the Albino Saiyan wasn't going to stop, one way or another she was going to get her student through this... The other Saiyan, one that Atsuko didn't recognize, began some sort of examination to determine the source of the problem.
Eventually she asked the Knight to pass the information along, and she gave a small nod. But before she could even think about opening a mental connection with Excalibur, she felt a presence trying to pass a message to her via telepathy... That was Chris! She attempted to streamline it a little more so that he had an easier time... Virus. "Okay... Chris just used telepathy to talk to me. It's a virus.", she stated. After that Atsuko would close her eyes. Pinpointing Excalibur's location was not difficult, and establishing a mental connection was even easier due to their bonded nature.
"Excalibur, there's no blockage in his heart. It's not a bacterial infection either, there's good reason to suspect it's a virus... Chris said it was, too. A heart virus of some sort, operate under that information!", she'd send her message with haste, and immediately the Sacred Sword was able to add the new information in so that the doctors could hasten the search for the right medicine. There was a bit of silence, and Atsuko had unknowingly ended up holding her breath. What was going on? Was there even anything they could do? A cold sweat began to form.
"I've got it! I'm on my way back now!", finally, the words came and it was an immense relief. Atsuko took a breath of air. "She's got the medicine. It won't be much longer now, we just have to keep him alive as long as we can.", she added. It wasn't unnoticed to her that Chris had fallen unconscious... Damn, they really needed to apply that medicine, right now! Just as she finished that thought, Excalibur had burst into the room and handed the bottle of medication to Atsuko. "They said to use one every day until it's empty."
Excalibur briefly explained, and the Albino Saiyan gave a nod in response. After that she'd open the bottle and find it to be pills. "It's the only form they had. But they said it would work if we can give him the dose fast enough.", the woman in red assured. Atsuko would then place the pill into Chris's mouth. Since he was unconscious, he wouldn't be able to take it himself... But she could help him do it. The body was remarkably capable even when one wasn't awake, using just a mere fragment of her energy, she was able to edge the pill along.
Eventually, he would swallow it. The Saiyan lets out a sigh, placing the cap back onto the bottle and then placing it onto the table next to the bed. Whatever this medicine was, it must have worked wonders... But they'd still have to wait for a miracle, Chris came too close to death for comfort, and there was no telling on if they gave him the medicine fast enough or not. The Knight would stand up straight and try to keep herself composed. But it was clear to tell that she was on edge, understandably so.
The Albino Saiyan would eventually turn her gaze over to Kyuri. "I don't know who you are... I'm going to guess you're a part of Komatsu's squad. I have my reasons to be distrusting of Saiyans, but you have my thanks for helping Chris.", the Knight stated. Unaware that the person she was speaking to was her own grandmother. After that, the Saiyan looked over to Excalibur. "Did they say what it was that was afflicting Chris?", she asked. Excalibur gave a light nod. "It's just called 'The Heart Virus'. Apparently it only crops up once in a person's life."
Excalibur would begin to explain. "Undetermined by their age or health, the causes aren't known but the symptoms are the same. Fortunately they were able to make medicine to combat it... The actual virus doesn't have a name, presumably because it's the only one of it's kind.", she elaborated. Atsuko would just give a calm nod in response. "I see... At least if it crops up again, we'll be able to react to it faster. We can't afford another close call like this one.", the Albino Saiyan would respond. After that she'd turn her gaze to Komatsu. She didn't intend to ignore him.
"...Thank you, Komatsu. I said some things that I regret earlier... I won't lie to you and say that my perspective has entirely changed, but what I said wasn't fair to you.", Atsuko would say to her little brother. After having addressed everyone in the room, the Albino Saiyan would turn her focus to Chris once more. All that could really be done at this point was wait and hope that it would work out... She was content to do exactly that. Even if it meant waiting in silence, she had the patience for it and she refused to leave his side.
"...Well. I guess I should introduce myself next. I've already met Komatsu, but...", the woman in red would then address Kyuri. "I'm Excalibur. A sentient sword wielded by Atsuko... I don't recognize you either, but thank you for the help.", she would introduce herself. Excalibur was the type to try and look on the bright side of things, so knowing that the entire room might be tense right now, she'd try to break the ice. There was no real sense in getting all worried because... It was beyond their control right now. She wouldn't say that aloud, of course.

Komatsu was shaking slightly as he had his hands placed over Chris, using what little healing ability he had to heal his cousin in conjunction with his sisters own healing abilities. Honestly he'd never tried healing anyone else but himself so this was venturing into new territory for him. He really hoped he wasn't screwing this up and was helping at least a little bit.
Thankfully though, it wouldn't last too long as Kyuri gave Atsuko more information on what was going on, and it seemed even Chris himself helped out. Then it was only a short time before Excalibur showed up with the medicine, giving both him and Atsuko a break from healing as the medicine was administered.
A light sigh would escape the young saiyan's lips. Hhaving completely forgotten to power down from his Full powered Super Saiyan 2 state, he finally did so and moved back to lean against one of the wall in an attempt to steady himself and his shaking. This was something he'd never encountered before and stressed him out quite a bit... it was a different level of fear he'd never experienced and he hoped to never have to be in this situation again...
Whenever Atsuko spoke to Kyuri, the older woman would just smile gently as she kept her hand over Chris' heart even after the medicine was administered. She wanted to make sure it was actually working before pulling away from him.
"Well... honestly I'm a little old to be on his squad. Haha not much of a fighter either~ My name is Kyuri, it's nice to see you again after so many years Atsuko... I had hoped it would be under different circumstances mind you." Kyuri would introduce herself, skipping over any specific details for the time being. It was hardly the time for her to throw any more emotional stress onto the girl with Christopher lying here like this.
Her attention was then taken away by the look alike sword that came up and introduced herself as Excalibur. Kyuri would at that point withdraw her hand from Chris, the wires zipping back into her hand where the opening sealed off. Kyuri would stand up and turn to face Excalibur, giving a little polite bow before smiling once more.
"It's nice to meet you Excalibur. Thank you for your help with Chris... honestly if he'd died again..." A saddened look crossed the saiyaness' face at the thought of what could have happened. While Chris wasn't related to her in the slightest, Toru had been like a son to her and so by extension, she considered Chris like her own grandson. Two of her grandchildren had died even before she did... two of her children and her son in law... it had been eating away at her for a long time but had Chris died there today... well she wasn't sure what she would have done at that point... -----
When Atsuko addressed Komatsu, the young saiyan would look up to his sister, clenching his fists to will himself to stop shaking as he listened to what she had to say. She regretted some of the things she had said to him and Komatsu couldn't help but look away from her at that. He had been really upset with her then, so much so that he stormed out of the lookout. The Alliance was his family, and she wa spitting all over it... He shouldn't blame her for anything, but it still hurt.
"Whatever... it's fine it's in the past... look... once we're sure Chris is alright, can I talk to you in private? Excalibur and grandma can stay with him to make sure nothing changes." Komatsu would ask lowly, glancing back to his sister while trying to hide the worry he was feeling. He would instinctively tug at his right glove in an attempt to hide the markings placed there by Jarvis, though they would still be slightly visible.

This darkness..it was lonely..no light, no sound, no air. Nothing. That's all it felt like, and there was no way for him to simply take a deep breath to calm down like he had learned in meditation. For every time he tried he just felt nothing. No dryness, no wetness, just a lack of any feeling. The best way to explain would be like he couldn't even feel the opening of his mouth to take air, if he was even opening it? He couldn't tell in this ever lacking void. However..a light appeared. A single light his eyes could see in this darkness of his subconscious.
[in between the time skip of ten hours]
Chris still couldn't feel his strength increasing at all, though inside his subconscious he could now feel once more, he could feel the air and could see once more, a light somehow in this darkness. Himself standing on what seemed to be an invisible platform. However he still lacked the sense of which of what was there. There was only one thing he could think of to maybe light this place up. If he went super saiyan maybe he could do something to boost his senses more and maybe wake up!
As Chris tried to power up however before he could do anything, he felt like a blade of some kind just rammed through him. However there was just nothing there. Only one thing was changed however. As he tried to power up once more in his subconscious, there was something different however. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn't sense it, in fact he didn't even notice a aura around himself. The worst of all being? His form hadn't changed, nothing had. He was still in his normal form..something..something was wrong. Whatever it was..it was something he could definitely feel.
[End Time skip]
Chris would snap up, his strange dream having ended. His eyes snapped open, as he breathed heavily. However looking around he noticed he was at the lookout and in fact surrounded by his Master, Komatsu's grandmother, and Koma. There just wasn't something right though. Something was still was off. Unknowingly to him, his power hadn't rose back a single bit..it rose a tiny bit, but not much to matter even! It was at a measly six. "That..hurt..thanks for the help all of you, but why are you guys suppressing your power though? I can't even feel it..weird...I can't feel anyone's ki..what..what the hell?!?" Chris would say jumping out of his bed, his saiyan metabolism having made the medicine work rather fast. Any scans would show the virus gone completely..still Chris couldn't even feel ki anymore, even as he tried to make a ki ball, nothing came. It was like the connection..was just gone?
Flavored PL: 6 Can't feel ki, or access it, for major plot purposes :3 WC: 478 TWC: 1,145
The Saiyan would introduce herself as Kyuri. But something stuck out in Atsuko's mind, 'see you again'. Had they met before? The Albino Saiyan couldn't help but arch a brow at that. But she let the matter rest for now, Kyuri was having a conversation with Excalibur, and the Knight herself was having a conversation with Komatsu. Needless to say, when Kyuri bowed to the Sacred Sword, it ended up surprising her a little. Excalibur returned the gesture however. "My, that's surprising. I've not met any Saiyans with manners before... Excluding my current wielder, of course.", she would state with a light smile.
"As for helping Chris... There's no need to thank me. In many ways, he's my student as well. I couldn't allow him to die, especially knowing what it would do to Atsuko...", the woman in red would then state, glancing over at the Knight with a concerned expression... But she'd eventually return her gaze to Kyuri, now speaking quietly in attempts to remain discreet. "She won't admit it, but all of this has taken an immense toll on her... She despises Nasu with every fiber of her being, and those that followed him only exacerbated her hatred of Saiyans."
Excalibur explained to Kyuri. She was staring the woman in the eyes, as if this was a very important matter. "Komatsu has been trying to smooth things over... He's trying his absolute best, but he's almost doing too much. I don't think he realizes just how much Atsuko would do for him. He's the only one that she still views as a member of her family, aside from Cambia and Hotato.", she continued. While what she had to say would normally be a good thing, in this particular case... It was something that sorely needed caution. Excalibur cared the most for Atsuko.
Or, that was what she believed in any case, as they had a symbiotic bond. "She's willing to do a lot for him... Even going to the ends of the Earth and beyond it. I'm just hoping he won't ask her to do that.", the Sacred Sword continued in a hushed tone of voice. "She's not able to put what happened to her in the past... If something bad happens, I worry that she won't forgive anyone involved... Most of all I'm worried about what it would do to her.", Excalibur expressed her concerns. Kyuri seemed a nice enough sort.
That was the only reason why she decided to share these secrets. Meanwhile, however... "It's not in the past, Komatsu.", Atsuko would respond. "All of this is still ongoing. It will probably be that way for awhile.", she added... Still, she'd just give a sigh and a nod as Komatsu requested to speak with her in private once they were certain that Chris was alright. "Just... Do you understand why I have such strong feelings? Don't just say 'yes' because it's what I want to hear...", the Knight would then ask him. Ultimately she had to wait either way.
Still, there was something that didn't escape the Albino Saiyan's notice. Komatsu was tugging at his right glove, as if to hide something. It was a little difficult to get a good look at it, but she could see what looked like markings... "Komatsu... What happened to your hand?", the Saiyan asked, more than a little curious about it. But if he wanted to save it for their private conversation, then she'd just have to wait. Once she heard Komatsu's response, if he gave any, she'd just turn her attention back to Chris and just... Sit in a nearby chair and wait.
Curiously, no matter how much time passed his energy didn't seem to stabilize any further... It wasn't dropping, but it was remaining at that minuscule amount. Eventually the minutes turned into hours, which culminated in a ten hour wait. Atsuko was content to wait as long as it took. She was nothing if not stubborn. But... Chris woke up, and his power remained at that same level that almost didn't exist. He'd express his thanks for everyone helping him, but then... He couldn't sense anyone's Ki? Atsuko stood up in an almost bewildered fashion. How the hell?
Did... The Heart Virus do something to him? The Albino Saiyan's hands would tighten into fists, and her power would begin to flare up. Despite that, she'd just walk towards the door of the room. "I... Need to return to training.", she managed to state. Then she stopped in front of the door and with one kick, it was removed clean from it's hinges. She continued down the halls. Excalibur flinched at that, but then she let out a sigh. "She's going back to the Pendulum Room... She's not mad at you Chris, or anyone here right now"
Excalibur explained. "...She's blaming herself for another failure.", the woman in red added. After that, she'd turn her gaze to Komatsu. "Listen... I know you came here to speak with Atsuko. And I know you're probably thinking about going after her right now. But I'm going to warn you that... What she's doing in the Pendulum Room, you won't like it.", she would give her warning. Excalibur then glances over to Kyuri. "I know that you wouldn't either. If either of you decide to go after her... I can't exactly stop you, just... Remember what I said. I'm going to stay here with Chris."
With that, the Sacred Sword would turn her attention to Chris. "It must have been something about that Heart Virus. You may have lost the ability to use your Ki, but... It's possible to get it back!", the woman in red stated, trying to keep her mind on the bright side of the situation. As for Atsuko... She had already gone back into the Pendulum Room. The setting she had chosen was the same as always, another battle against the Saiyans, set on the planet formerly called Vegeta. Atsuko always chose this one for a variety of reasons.
Right now, she needed to do something. Besides just sit there and talk like everything was fine when it was all crumbling around her.

Kyuri couldn't help but chuckle lightly as Excalibur's surprise with her mannerisms. Of course it was to be expected considering the group that they regularly had to deal with. Most of then were hot headed idiots, but they were her hot headed idiots and she tried to smooth them over as best she could when she was with them.
"I'm glad I'm breaking the mold of what you know of us then... hmm trust me when I say I know how she feels when it comes to the Alliance, my hot heads can be way too much to handle if you don't know them. I understand." Kyuri would assure Excalibur gently, glancing over to her grand-daughter whenever Excalibur did. The young woman really did look far more stressed out than anyone her age should be... she had a lot on her shoulders and it wasn't fair to her. She could only further regret the decision to send Atsuko away when she was little now that she was standing so close to her.
"I think Koma knows how she feels about him... Sometimes it feels like he's trying to use that to his advantage when it comes to mending things with her. You think it would be better if he just eased up on trying to fix things just now? I hardly want this hatred to linger between us either but we'll do what we have too." She would say in a low tone so that their conversation was kept between them. A light sigh would escape Kyuri's lips as her saddened look returned to her face once more as she glanced at the young saiyaness, then back towards Excalibur.
"Thank you for telling me this Excalibur... It's a little late for me to try and do right by her, but I hope at least Koma can..." She would trail off as her guilt was slowly eating away at her once more. Ultimately it hadn't been her call when it came to the deal with the previous Kami of Earth, but she should have fought harder to keep Kimiko with her family.
-------------- "I meant that your words were in the past, not the situation." Komatsu would say with a light roll of his eyes. Even though Atsuko was trying to make up for the way she said things... it didn't sting any less. Of course he understood where she was coming from, but it was like she wasn't even making the effort to listen to him. She was too focused on Nasu, and everyone being just like Nasu to care about seeing a different side of things.
"This will only continue to be ongoing as long as you keep it that way. Of course I understand you Kimiko but it's like you aren't even trying to understand me. You're too focused on our brother..." He would grumble, not yet pushing himself away from the wall, just working on keeping his wrist and hand covered from view. It wasn't until she mentioned it however that he slipped his hand behind his back.
"It's kind of part of what I wanted to talk to you about..." He began, though fell silent as Chris would begin to stir. He glanced over to his cousin as he pushed himself up and tried to push himself right back into using his ki, trying to sense them and failing miserably at it.
Kyuri would go right back to Chris' side, lightly putting a hand on his shoulder as if to calm him down.
"Don't push yourself so hard right now Chris. You only just recovered from this Heart Virus, and we don't know what kind of long or short term effects it could have on you. Let's have a look and see if there's anything we can do, alright?" Kyuri would ask him kindly, hoping to lead him back to bed so that she could scan him again and try to figure out why he couldn't use his ki just then.
It seemed to really upset Atsuko though as the saiyaness' power would start to rise and she would disappear, claiming she needed to train more. Kyuri and Komatsu would quickly glance to each other, and with a sigh Koma would push himself off of the wall and follow Atsuko silently. He had heard Excalibur's warning, and just raised his hand in a wave that indicated he understood without actually saying anything.

Going to leave it at Koma following Atsuko, if we want to continue in a seperate thread it could be a cool place to start off~
Chris was at a loss of reality at this moment. How else could one react to the total loss of an entire sense? Without that feeling of ki, it just felt entirely different now. The closest of a feeling he could place was all the way back to when he had first learned to sense ki, around ten years ago. Back when he had still just been through everything normally. That's why this feeling was such a shock to him. If he didn't have control over ki anymore. Did that mean he couldn't be one of Earth's defenders any longer? Did that mean he would have to leave everything he had worked so hard for before?
He couldn't just leave the lookout, this place was his home..he couldn't go back to the farm..mainly due to it lacking to be there now Still he didn't want to have to leave. He would sit back down and allow Kyuri to scan him if she needed so, but everything just felt like a total loss now. Unknowing that the scanners might show her what was wrong to his heart. A small, very small portion of it, was damaged. Nothing life threatening. However it was a location most fighters knew was where chakra, or ki rather poured through. It was the very part of the heart that allowed one's ki to be manipulated. The damage was severe however, enough to let him live, an average human, saiyan life if he walked away, but if he were to ever want to fight again..magical means would be the only way to repair such.
Still even as Excalibur suggested that they could always be possible to get it back. Chris, could feel that it just wasn't possible. Not by any means he knew of. "Excalibur..do you mind, if we head to the library? Maybe...maybe we can find something there that could help. Your welcome to come as well Kyuri if your gonna follow me around like a little puppy dog." Chris would say with a slight joke at the end. At least his mood was obviously better now with the heart virus gone, and not so filled with anger or malice. Still though a smile lacked upon his face, truly in worry that maybe he might have just lost everything he had worked just so hard for. It was like, at least to him. As if his entire world was just falling apart..and he had no idea how he would even be able to rebuild it back together. All he was now, was just a normal earthling saiyan, with only a fourth in human blood. If Excalibur and Kyuri were inclinded to agree he would walk with them to the library of the lookout. His mind however filled with regret. In his eyes, he had failed his master yet again. Another opponent he could not beat this time. This one having bested him like everything else. Only this time something so small as a virus taking literally everything from him. He could just hope Koma could have some luck with his cousin. Or either one around. One question did come to mind now though. Did this mean he couldn't truly train now?
