Chris had simply been wandering around the lookout for some time. He sat there facing on one of the edges deep in thought. Trying to sense for his sister’s ki throughout the galaxy..and yet. She still was gone..Not a single trace of that ki to have resurfaced in forever…He thought back to what Nasu had told him before...if she was with the demon queen...how was he going to get to her? It was frustrating to know where she was..and yet have no way to actually get to her as well as giving him a way to get back. All of it was just so frustrating because he didn’t know how he was going to do it.
As he got up and materialized himself a latte of hot chocolate. He couldn’t help but feel the tension in the air. How was it that even with there being peace on Earth that he still couldn’t be free of such tension? Was it because the knights were practically splitting apart? Each one following their own path? Frankly he himself didn’t even know if he wanted to be a knight any longer..he didn’t know whether or not so. He still wanted to go out and help the galaxy..he could feel the evil washing over parts of it. He could feel the imbalance growing. He knew if he wanted to go out there and help, he couldn’t do it as a knight..if he did than he would still have to leave the knights.
He needed advice and he really doubted that Atsuko would be able to give him advice that wasn’t biased..Komatsu was in the chamber...Who else could he talk to? Chris would think as he felt the ki of two others..two very familiar ones...Cambia and her child...well if there was anyone who could help him with crazy...and to threaten to punt him off of the lookout.. She was the one. As he got up and began to walk there..he spotted his tail..something that reminded him of being a saiyan...of being something he didn’t want to be..he had seen others survive without tails on Natto. So his question was...did he still want to keep it even? It didn’t give him strength any longer and it just was a reminder of what he didn’t want to be…
Slowly he would get back up as he would begin to walk on through the lookout. Following the ki belonging to Cambs as he would near her room. He stood outside the door thinking for a bit of just what it was he wanted to say. Before he would reach and knock on the door. ”Hey Cambia? Do you mind if I ask you for your opinion on some...thoughts? Their a little bit important..” Chris would say with a bit of scarcity to his voice. This would be the first time he would even begin to talk of his idea with someone else. Maybe Cambia would even be able to give him some help as well about what he could do to help his own sibling.
The blonde demonic Saiyan was lying on her bed, her baby sleeping comfortably on her chest. She'd found that he slept a lot easier at this height when he was resting on her rather than in his crib. It could be something to do with the familiar sound of her heart-beat, or it could just simply be a baby's instinct to stay close to their mother... that or he had been corrupted by that bloody perverted ghost that was haunting the Lookout. She still had to try and figure out a way of obliterating that damn thing... Especially when she had discovered it had been posing in HER body!
Her musings on spiritual evisceration were interrupted by a knock on the door, followed by a voice she hadn't heard from in a while. Cambia looked down at the bundle of sleeping baby that was currently contently resting on her chest, before sighing and gently calling back out to him. "Sure, come in. Quiet though, Okra's sleeping." she said to the young man. The hybrid decided to drape her tail over her baby, the tip of hers playing with the small one he was growing himself, partially to give the baby some extra comfort, and also partially to act as a pseudo cover. She would just conjure herself up some clothes, but the last time she'd done that the displacement had managed to wake Okra up... so tail it was.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
As Chris kept his patience he kept worrying of how Cambia would react to what he would say. Would she be mutual in feeling? Angry? He couldn’t think of the possibilities..he just was going to have to see. Still even he still didn’t know himself on how to respond to his own idea. Now here he was. It wasn’t until he heard her voice that his nerves calmed a bit. A voice that truly had been months almost since the last time they had been able to talk with each other. Strange how no to be able to talk again with them..it wouldn’t be for entirely happy reasons.
As he would quietly step in, he could spot Cambia holding her baby. Just living seemingly so happily. He hadn’t seen much lately of Atsuko and Cambia talking with each other. He wondered just how much the whole saiyan alliance thing that happened only a few months ago had changed things for them as well. She still looked so young for a mother..it was almost weird to think of it like that. How old even was Cambia? She looked eighteen or even twentyish. Yet here she was with a child. Wow they all were growing so fast.
”Don’t worry I’ll stay quiet..ya know..I think this is actually the first time I’ve gotten to meet little Okra. Heh..they have your ears.” Chris would say as quiet as he could while keeping it just loud enough for Cambia to hear. He really couldn’t believe how long it had been since the last time they had actually talked with each other..Now that he thought of it..that had been before he had died hadn’t it… ”Wow..it’s been so long since we last talked, so much has changed of the both of us hehe. Though can’t say I’ve changed much physically at least on the outside. Still strange feeling like a hybrid now more or less...er right you weren’t there for that bit. Just a whole bunch of crazy for that bit..” Chris would say really not wanting to go over such a story again. He really didn’t like being reminded of that virus that had hurt him almost permanently.
He needed to stop getting so sidetracked.. ”Cambia...I wanted to ask you a serious question..frankly me and Atsuko haven’t been getting along lately...just different ideologies. Essentially I don’t want to be the knight she wants me to be, and she’s really been pushing on me to drink the holy water when I told her I don’t want to. I just want to be the knight I want to be..I wanted to ask what your thoughts were on..do you think our group..the knights are just..splitting farther and farther apart? I wanted to ask you for your opinion because frankly..I don’t know who else to ask..Koma is in the chamber and well..everyone else is just..gone. I just wanted to get someone who didn’t hold any biased opinion.” Chris would answer as honestly as he just could to the older girl.
Cambia smirked slightly at Chris' reaction towards her baby, chuckling softly at the ear comment. "Yeah well, let's hope he gets more of my temperament and not his fathers..." she said, running a hand through Okra's tuft of hair as he slept soundly. She did raise an eyebrow at his mention about feeling like a hybrid. "Seems I've missed a fair bit taking care of this little guy... wanna bring me up to speed?" she asked him before hearing out his question that had brought him here in the first place.
"Know the feeling... there are times I feel me and Atsuko don't get along either. The amount of times we clashed during just the training alone? Ho boy..." the blonde demonic Saiyan mused before sighing. "But, we can only keep trying. We both led very different lives, suddenly found out we were sisters... and then there's the serious gap between us strength wise. Makes me feel useless, which then makes me feel pissed, and you know how that particular song and dance goes with me and her. Especially when Excalibur chimes in..." the younger half-sister of the Kami said with another sigh, bracing herself as Okra shuffled slightly before he settled down.
She let out a slow sigh of relief before considering the rest of his concerns. "As for the Sacred Water... I'd drink it if only to get her to shut up about it really." the demonic Saiyan said with a small shrug. "It'll hurt like hell, speaking from experience, but if it makes it harder for the Makai lot to pull some shit on you, then go along with it. Even if its mostly for her own piece of mind..." she offered apologetically. She paused to consider the rest of his question though, about the state of the knights before sighing.
"I don't know... the problem is, out of everyone that signed up for it, Atsuko's the only one that's had any real knight training. The rest of us? We've just been learning how to fight like her is all." said Cambia, running her fingers through Okra's hair. "We came from all over, and then there's the whole family drama which probably played a part..." she said with a sigh before grumbling. "Then there's the bullshit with Jarvis going on as well..." Cambia sighed, closing her eyes for a bit as she worked on keeping her mood calm, to keep her heartbeat a steady rhythm.
"Honestly though, I don't know..." she said before cracking a small smile. "But, if the other knights are anything like the girls I ran with before I met Atsuko, then when shit really hits the fan and they're needed, they'll show up." said Cambia, looking down as Okra shuffled around on her chest. "And if they don't, I'm gonna hunt their backsides down and kick their arses so hard I'll be wearing them for boots." she said, rubbing a hand over her baby's head as he slowly began to wake up.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Chris would easily smile at Cambia’s own comment to his own about the child. It still was fun to enjoy a peaceful conversation like this without some kind of hidden worry. ”Well from every single guy I’ve met I can say you should definitely be glad for that one heh.” Chris would joke ever so slightly as he listened to Cambia’s own question to him on just what all passed while she had been busy with the child. ”Well..lets see here..how do I begin here? I suppose it started when I first came back to life. I had been feeling rather...different. Yet I still was pushing myself to get stronger because of all the expectations being placed on me, whether it being a kai who trust me with a technique that hasn’t breathed the light of day in hundreds of years or just adjusting to everything else. It wasn’t until almost a week later that it began to hit..something in my heart felt like it was trying to explode..it made me angrier..brasher to others. It wasn’t until I found out where the saiyan alliance outpost was that I supposed the thing finally gave its full strength.
I had been angry..I can’t remember my last conversation but I had been talking to Komatsu when all of a sudden I fell to the ground paralyzed in intense pain. I was rushed to the lookout where Komatsu and Atsuko were both worried about me. It had turned out I was suffering from a rare heart virus that we still don’t know how I got. If it was a virus though, then be thankful you and Okra weren’t there. Wouldn’t have wanted the little guy sick. The virus though..we got to it too late..it had left a permanent damage to my heart..It had made it well...it had destroyed the way for my heart to manipulate the chakra for my ki. It was almost like I was normal person again. I know most would have loved that chance but..I still needed to get back to my sister and get her out of the demon realm’s hold or if she’s happy there..at least know if she’s safe. So I hit the books..literally. I had been scouring through many many books when I threw this one runic book on the ground.
The next thing I knew, I was blasted away and my body felt like it was on fire. When I woke up..I felt different. The first thing I had noticed was that I could feel ki again..and I felt less like a saiyan then I ever had before. What we think happened was that someway, whatever race I am now, it overwrote my saiyan DNA and fixed what was wrong with me. It seems if I did the math right, it makes me about half...whatever this race is, part saiyan and part earthling from my dad’s side.” Chris would say the long winded story which no doubt would take a bit of which to process.
”Thanks for listening though Cambia..the truth is..I think I might be leaving the knights soon, but like you said, I’d be ready to get back here to help out. I just don’t like being restrained here to help out when there are others out there who need it as well..maybe even..I can find another way to get to makai and back..to find my sister. I know how you felt though about practically being useless. I think it’s partially because of everyone going for their own paths..she doesn’t trust us. I don’t say it out of spite either, she told me she doesn’t trust us. It was during my last training with her. Frankly I’m sorry, but a group doesn’t work without trust in another. That song and dance by the way? Not nearly as bad as with her, excalibur AND her corrupted half. Spoiler, she never got rid of it. As long as that thing is still with her...and frankly it’s hard to know your safe when you know that part is still with her. When I am gone and it's just you two here, just..keep yourself and Okra safe and keep an eye on her...I'm not saying anything will happen..but I don’t want you getting hurt by it.” Chris would say trying to keep his voice calm and quiet for the child. The last thing he would ever want is for it to wake up.
"So... the short version is you learned a new slash old technique from this kai person whilst dead, came back from the dead somewhat pissed off, found your heart had some sort of virus which thankfully wasn't contagious, which also screwed with you a little, then found a book which screwed you up even more but got rid of the virus thing," the demonic Saiyan hybrid summed up, "and apparently Atsuko doesn't trust any of us and is hanging around with that corrupted version of herself..." The blonde girl grit her teeth a little at the last part of the summary before she let out a slow breath to calm her nerves and heart-rate down.
"Well, I've got a little bit of bad news for you about the Makai thing." said Cambia. "The only way into there without having demon blood in your veins, would probably be a Dragon Ball wish, or going through the portal that the Demon Queen can make before whoever she's trying to snatch up gets through it." she said with an apologetic shrug. "That or I think find a full blooded demon that'll help you out and take you there... although once you're there, same situation applies again. Gotta find a way back out of there." the half demon explained, looking down at Okra as he shuffled a little bit, his tiny hands grabbing at his mother's body.
She gave a mock pout at his antics, bringing a finger up to boop his nose gently. "No touchy like that till you're a lot older mister. And certainly not with your mother." Cambia playfully scolded her sleeping child before looking back to Chris. "Her corrupted version I can handle... maybe not power to power, but I can put up with her. I hung around with a half-Heran in my days before coming here, and then there's the whole family Saiyan drama... a suddenly angsty, moody teenager in full armour with a thing for the gothic, I can handle." she said before looking back to Okra. "Plus I've got weaponised cuteness right here, so long as he doesn't need to drop a bomb in front of them." she chuckled.
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
As he would chuckle a bit at how she worded the first bits of the summary he corrected on only a few parts. ”Close, just a small mistake in your summary. The heart virus was cured with medicine thanks to Koma and Suko, but it had left a permanent tear which was where the magic from the book helped out.” Chris would say as he corrected the parts of the timeline to place what needed to be told. However he had noticed the gritted look from her as she mentioned the last parts of it. It was going to stink but he really didn't know how it truly would go while he was gone.
”Hey...it’s alright, if anyone can talk some sense with her..I know you can do it.” Chris would try to say cheerfully to her, ever so quiet though to try and help with the baby. As she would give him the news on Makai he would grit his own teeth ever so more. ”Yeah..I know that bit from Suko..It’s one of the reasons I’m going out to search the universe...I don’t care how long it takes..but I will find a way to get her back...it’s my fault she’s there anyway..maybe if I had just tried harder to find her on Natto..then maybe she wouldn’t have even been taken..maybe I could've stopped the Demon Queen from taking her even.. I don’t even know but….I can’t give up on her..she wouldn’t ever have given up on me.” Chris would say trying his best to hold together and not speak louder..he didn’t want to cause the baby to wake up because of his own distress.
”I..I’m sorry for that..it’s just...surely you know what it feels like to know when someone is possibly hurt and in pain and yet there's nothing you know of how to stop it..I can’t help but miss her...I can’t help but keep thinking of how I could’ve stopped it if I had tried harder to go see her on Natto.” Chris would say as he felt his power rising slightly as he hurried to lower it..he really was hurting inside on the topic of his sister. He quickly tried to change it as eh heard the last of her words. ”Cambia..can you use telepathy? I’m asking because when I’m gone, if there is any trouble that pops up here that you need help with, or if Atsuko gets stubborn and wants to take on a threat alone again. Do everything you can to contact me and I will be back here as fast as I physically can. Promise me that you won’t do anything to risk yourself or Okra.” Chris would ask looking her right in the eyes. He wanted to know she would at least be safe before the day to come he would leave.
"Assuming she listens." Cambia muttered to herself when Chris suggested that she could talk some sense into Atsuko. Their world views and experiences were so different from one another, that it was hard for her to find much common ground with her sister... especially when Atsuko went into one of her holier-than-thou lectures when the blonde hybrid tried to talk to her about something that she actually knew a lot more on, like the whole darkness stuff.
And of course Chris went into a mini-spiral of what ifs of his own, to which the demonic Saiyan rolled her eyes and sent a small flick of energy that she aimed for his forehead, the ki blast equivalent of a forehead flick. "Stop that. There was nothing you could do, so get over it and move on." she half-ordered, half-suggested in a tone that could only come from a mother scolding a child. "You're not gonna be much help to Leena if you're heads stuck wallowing over "What If's". Believe me, that roads a never-ending twisting one that leads to nowhere good." Cambia said, looking down to her child, her own set of what-if's laying on her chest.
When he asked her about being able to use telepathy, the blonde hybrid gave a grimace before slowly nodding. "Aye, but it's not exactly something I practice a lot with..." she said, looking back down to Okra. "Mainly cus each time I try to, this little poop-machine picks up on it and goes on a bit of a crying spree before I can figure out how to not telepathically "yell" if you know what I mean." Cambia explained. She gave a smirk though at his request for a promise. "Well, I can promise to not do anything to risk Okra on purpose... but if Atsuko tries to do something stupid like that, and I know you or anyone else ain't gonna make it on time? I may have to tag along. After finding a baby-sitter." she said with a slight shrug.
Of course, Okra's eyes flickered open and he briefly looked around the room before deciding it was time to grab something to eat, or technically drink. Cambia gave a slight grunt before mock-scowling at the baby. "Oi, manners little man." she said as she gave his nose a little poke. "Ask first, especially when there's company. Honestly, you must get that from your bloody father..." the demonic Saiyan said with a sigh whilst Okra apparently ignored his mother and kept on going. She did chuckle a little as she ran a finger through his hair. "Definitely got a Saiyan's appetite..." she mused softly. Cambia looked over to Chris and gave an apologetic smile. "Eh, sorry about this."
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
Chris was still feeling rather shaken by his series of what ifs that had gone through his head. He didn’t know what to make of it and frankly he felt so lost, as if he didn’t know exactly what to do. Slowly he was delving into the lostness only to be shocked back by the feeling of something hitting him right in the head. ”Ow…that stung.” Chris would say rolling over the spot where the small laser had hit. It wasn’t painful enough to have been stunning or injury wise, but it was painful enough to sting a small small bit.
”I get it, I get it. I shouldn’t feel sorry for myself, I know it’s not helping Leena, but I just can’t help but still feel like something I did was the reason she’s gone in the first place. It’s a never ending road I know, but I just can’t shake it off. The regret of it..it just doesn’t help..” Chris would say falling silent as he began to listen to her response to his question over her ability to possibly use telepathy. ”I see, the yelling problem, I ran into that one quite a bit myself. I really don’t know how to perfect that one, mine really just went away with practice. Sorry I can’t help much there with that one..” Chris would apologize as he would listen to the rest of what Cambs had to say.
”I guess that sounds all right, just make sure not to get yourself killed if it something like that..can’t have this little one growing up without you after all. Otherwise I’m gonna have to break open into otherworld and come pull you out hehe.” Chris would joke slightly as he noticed Okra waking and talk about awkward timing as he went to get..oh dear. This was awkward. Turning away his head so he didn’t have to embarrass Cambia anymore if she was he would begin to speak again in a joyful manner. ”It all right Cambia, after all, we were all babies once, though maybe your’s needs to have a few more manners hehe..Hey Cambia if you don’t mind me asking, who was Okra’s father and what were they like? I don’t think I ever actually got to meet them.” Chris would say as he would keep his head turned away as to not embarrass.
He couldn’t help but think of his own parents, but every time he pictured his lost adoptive parent’s he saw another side to the opposite way of his real family by blood, Leena, Toru, and some strange lady who looked like Leena, someone he could only assume was his mother. He couldn’t help but think of both sides and think of just how different life could have been if he had been raised by his birth father and mother instead..would he have even been the same person? So many what ifs... only one time line of which are true..
Cambia smirked. "That was the point genius." she quipped when he complained about her little shot stinging. When Chris asked about who Okra's father was, she looked back down to her baby who had just now having his meal. She shuffled herself to a sitting position and then shifted Okra into leaning over her shoulder so she could burp him properly. "His father was Athren." she said after the baby had been burped. "An even bigger hardhead than Nasu is from what I saw... gave in to his damned rage and hate. Then he got his ass killed by Jarvis on Vegeta."
She sighed before snapping her fingers, her usual tube top appearing on her chest covering herself up. "You can turn back around." said the demonic Saiyan, although she sounded a bit amused with the way Chris was acting. "He seemed like a different man when I met him... I'll admit I fell in love with the bastard. Then when he gave into his rage when Nasu attacked the Lookout... he was willing to toss me aside as easily as a used rag." Cambia said rather bitterly before sighing. "It's taken me a while to come to terms with that..."
The blonde hybrid got up out of the bed, one hand holding Okra whilst her other hand snapped up a pair of shorts for herself. She looked at the baby in her arm, who looked up at her in turn whilst shoving his tail into his mouth. Cambia smiled softly, her own tail moving up to tickle the back of Okra's ear. "Now my only concern, is to make sure that Okra has a better life than I had... nobody trying to kill or hurt him because of what he is, or who his parents are..." she said before chuckling a little. "That and figuring out when his birthday is exactly. He came out of the Time Chamber with me six months old, but was technically born the day after I went into it..."
This world curses me because of my blood, then I shall curse and plague it in turn!
As Chris would listen even more with each moment to how this man Cambia had gotten together with, Okra’s father. Even on the path he fell to a downward spiral of a path. He couldn’t help but think how sad and was and also almost impossible to believe of someone being more hot headed than Nasu, now that took a whole new meaning of the word impossible. ”Someone more hotheaded than Nasu? Now that is something I would need to see to believe, with fair understanding you can understand. I just never thought I would hear the words of Nasu being less hotheaded than someone else.” Chris would give a slight chuckle to until he heard the name of Jarvis, the man who killed him.
As he would turn back around to her word she only continued further and the story only turned sadder as she told of how he had been a different person entirely, and yet also of how much he had changed for the worse and tossed her aside. That was possibly one of the saddest thing about the whole story there. To be tossed around like that. He really couldn’t imagine it. It made him rather..angry about that kind of person. In truth he didn’t even know what to say to that kind of thing even. It wasn’t like he could change the past to keep something like that from hurting someone. Not even as much as he wished to. It seem karma did come to them after all if Jarvis killed them, but really did anyone deserve to die to such a man?
As she began to speak of wanting to give Okra a proper cared life, the funniest part of it was when she said that she didn’t know technically when his birthday would be. ”Don’t worry, it’s simple math, since the chamber only accelerated time inside the chamber then time was still the same out here, so all we have to do is take the time you went into the chamber, add twelve hours to it and then we calculate as well six months further into our time outside of the chamber, which would mean his birthday would be coming up in a few months right? That’s going to be exciting to plan haha.” Chris would smile a bit as he looked at the little child.
”It’s probably time for me to go, i need to get to training to unlock a new powerup or anything really. I know there's a way for me to push higher, almost like an itch that I can’t place. And with rage not working to unlock it, I’m gonna have to look for a different means of way. It was really good talking with you again Cambia, we really should get around to doing it more some time later. Take care!” Chris would say a bit joyfully and a bit more light weighted over his shoulders. As he began to walk out he couldn’t help but think how he was exactly going to bring out this power inside of himself.
WC: 527 Attempting to end thread, will take PL, really fun thread!
"Urgh, I hate maths. Was never that good at it after the numbers got higher than the number of my fingers." she said, sticking out her tongue at the thought of all that mathmatical stuff that Chris was suggesting. She did smirk a little though to show she wasn't entirely serious about her lack of mathmatical ability... sort of. She could add and subtract fine enough, even some multiplication and division... anything else though beyond that? Not a chance. She just hoped that she could get her baby a better education than she had growing up... but she wouldn't be able to help him with any homework he'd get.
Now there's a thought, a Saiyan getting their Super blonde form through the sheer rage of trying to solve a maths problem. It made her chuckle a little before she nodded at Chris as he said he had to head off to try and figure out this next level of transformation he was on the verge of. "Good luck." she said as he left whilst she returned her focus to Okra. "Right then... time to start figuring out when your birthday is mister. Now where did your Aunt Atsuko put the paper and calculators? ...Actually it'd probably be easier to get her to do the maths. I'm sure those stuffy monks taught her all that boring maths stuff eh?" she chuckled, Okra giggling away with her.
Will take PL for this, sorry for the delay >.<
