Flare knew this was all just making her look further worse. She was yelling at a friend who was actually trying to help. Strangled and burnt him. He even wanted to die knowing Shizen wasn't able to be saved. The young flame continued crying for a little while longer before sniffling and wiping a bit of it away with what little makeup she had on. She looked even worse for wear after all that but she didn't want this to go on. To continue grieving. She promised herself she wasn't going to cry, just like he had promised he would get Shizen back. As it turned out promises weren't guarantees.
What a shock.
"I strained my body and mind just trying to do all I could. All I needed. But nothing's good enough to stop these events from happening. Why is it that I can't do anything right? You tell me giving it my all and beyond is all in good effort but it's just not good enough for any of us. I just want to try and stop it all." Was it just her being a naive youth or Flare standing up for everyone? She couldn't possibly help thinking she caused a lot of it herself and cursed herself many more times for it. The fire elemi would start picking herself off the grund in the moment of awkwardness and wipe a few more tears and makeup off her face.
"I do have you... Heh. Everyone else except Auntie seems to leave me our die after I fail. Look, Komatsu just... I want no more promises. They don't work and... They just stress me out more than anything. Do ya get me? We'll work together for it. There will be no promises, only doing. Kais I'm tired from all the yelling and crying. Kinda of impressive how such a fickle thing as emotions can... Just cause me to up and attack a friend in anger. We're still here, we can go at it again. Better ourselves again. I don't know what's to come next but if it's anything threatening innocents, my planet, or my friends I'll be there. I'll be there, you hear me? I won't promise! I WILL be there to help!" Flare stumbled a bit forward and tried grabbing the awkwardly standing saiyan in a tight hug, her hair still somewhat on fire from all the drama and feelings. Flare sniffled a bit in his grasp if she could and shake him right to left roughly. Reckless as always. She'd break away pretty quick if they were in that and stand up straighter. Taller.
"Now... Who was it you were needing to contact? What was it you wanted me out here for besides beating on ya? All that was just... I hope you can understand. I'm just wanting to end my own nightmares and prevent others from having them. No one should have to go through the stuff we do. No one."
Just on the outer reaches of the Eastern Isles a larger spaceship had broke through the atmosphere and was soaring freely towards one of the larger population in the Citadel. The thing was built reminiscent of Kold ships but were elongated and square in structural design. It had decent capability switching from space flight to air flight as it came in. It's occupants?
A decent sized control deck holding a crew of seven, not including three individuals propped up higher in a center stage area with loads of screens on panels surrounding them. The insides of the craft were compact and looked like an overloaded version of your stereotypical UFO deck. The larger, grand armored man in center the room, holding a spot in the front most and center chair on the raised platform, pressed some of them and looked between the several monitors that started popping up. Stats on climate readings, remote hazards, and the one he was particularly looking at. A scouter HUD.
"Still there I see. This works, I needed to visit a city anyways."

Komatsu had finally managed to push himself up to his feet during Flare's speech. He tried to listen to every word she said, but breathing was still an issue at this point. He still could, but you could tell by his heavy breaths that it was hard for him. Every breath he took was deep to try and compensate for the small breaths that he couldn't take.
"You're right... promises just... just keep failing. No more promises. We just have to keep trying. It might seem hopeless sometimes, but... i'm not going to sit by and do nothing. We'll get her back together." He said with a nod as he finally took his hand away from his throat. The burn marks would slowly start to fade away as his hand left, the wound healing up at a rapid pace as he healed himself with his energy.
"You're a lot like me... you have all this power, but everywhere you aim it at you're faced with someone stronger. there's never an opportunity to show just how strong you are... but trust me Flare, you aren't the same as the first time I met you. I bet you'd have no problem dealing with a grazed golden ape at this point." He tried to bring in a bit of humor into their conversation, as the first time the two had met had been when Komatsu had transformed after-all... and now that he thought back on that, his face started to go red as he remembered just who was there to greet him in his birthday suit when he had changed back. He cleared his throat before being drawn into her awkward hug but smiling gently as he pat her on the back, letting her do whatever she wanted with him until all of this was done.
"I was going to ask you to get a hold of my parent's if you could... but I don't think you'll be able too.. doesn't matter, I feel like I'll see them soon enough anyways. They're both dead so... I figured they would be out best leads to getting Shizen back... as for what I wanted you here for well..." He placed a hand on her shoulder when they pulled out of their hug, looking into the red haired girls eyes seriously, all traces of any pain or wounds gone from him completely.
"I have a lot to do with the new Alliance, and I have to take them away from Earth, but if I leave that's leaving a huge hole in Earth's defense. I'm asking you to stay here and fill that hole. I need you to stay and guard planet Earth on behalf of the Saiyan Alliance. You'd be like, our Councillor if you would. The job doesn't really pay much though, so I wasn't sure you'd be interested."

Awkward or not for the Saiyan, Flare'd savor every moment of the embrace with what she thought of as a close friend by now. After all she had to go through he was still here, giving her sweet words that she had wanted to hear. She wanted those words of encouragement from his own mouth, said like he meant it. It wasn't that she was just giving her best, her best wasn't enough for the job. Her best had to be better. For him, for herself, for Shizen, for everyone. It was enough just spending weeks in isolation, drinking one's life away. She had to keep getting stronger, because she clearly still wasn't in the right mind or body to do what Koma wanted her to.
Take place over an entire army's protection? Contact the dead? The young flame couldn't exactly envision that as easily as the saiyan might have thought she could. She crossed her arms, taking a hand up to wipe a bit of her tear stained face with a sniff. As much as the fire elemi wanted to keep a upright posture and features with the saiyan trying to give her a straight face to talk to she'd fidget a bit and struggle to keep eye contact. She was tired and drained.
"The money doesn't matter Koma, no. You'e seen my place. I have it all and more to burn. Protecting Earth? I'll continue doing that as I have been. That's why I'm here now. This is as much of a home to me as anyone else born here. Perhaps even those who came here later. I've no qualms looking over it, but in place of your entire entourage? Why do you have to take them away from Earth? That' like, the biggest resistance we have against anyone at this point here. Do you think that's really necessary?"
If your parents are dead how'd I be able to get them anyways? I don't think I've met either of them. And if so how'd they help? If Shizen is with Jarvis then by any capacity it'd take a wish to pry her free. I don't know this just all seems confusing and strange to think about. So yeah, I'll be your 'Councilor'... Will you be back? Where are you off to? I have a lot of questions I need answered here, come on. Tell me." Flare'd try shaking him a little, blowing a sigh through her nose. The day was just getting to her, she exhausted herself to the point of fatigue. Her words were less energetic too.

The hug hadn't been to awkward, he'd grown quite close to Flare in the time they spent together. They had a whole year with one another in the hyperbolic time chamber, and they had gone through more than 1 emotional roller coaster together. Though this one seemed to be the behemoth of roller coasters.
He listened to what Flare had to say, glad that she would stick around and do as he had asked, but it wasn't without it's fair share of questions. He couldn't help but smile gently, it looked almost sad as he opened up to speak once more.
"We can't stay here, the Alliance is going to have a huge target on their backs now. Nasu gave his word that he wouldn't harm another saiyan... but I don't know how much of a blow a hit to his pride like this can take. We're not at peace with them, at the very lest I'd call it a cold war. I can't risk that coming to Earth. He won't even be the last of our worries... It will take some time for the galaxy to understand why we split from him, take them time to understand we aren't the same as the saiyans they've heard so much about. We're just going to attract a whole lot of unwanted attention by staying here. We won't be too far away, we're going to Namek and Grandma is going to be boosting the engines to our ships so at worst we'll be 4 hours away if something happens. As for coming back, you bet I will be. Earth's been like a second home to me and we made a bit of a contract with the Earth's Queen. So I won't be living here, but you can bet you haven't seen the last of me. Not even close." Komatsu tried to explain his plans as best he could, his saddened smile slipping into a smirk as he assured the fiery red head that he wouldn't be too far away. There would be a lot of back and forth from Namek to Earth, there's no way that this was going to be a permanent good-bye. There was still so much ahead of them that they needed each other for.
Flare was a bit more at ease after all that. The words of the saiyan calming her down so much so the smallest of flames still surrounding hr hair vanished in a final act of poofing smoke. At least they'd be in contact and have close relations, but just seeing the alliance having to flee not just to protect Earth from unwarranted attention? Nasu, kais did that guy rub her the wrong way. There wasn't much surprise as to why Komatsu wasn't exactly close to his brother. She'd witnessed first hand his rather cold and ruthless character. He was degrading and awful to talk to, but Flare, nonetheless, had a good time talking over the man and throwing insults his way.
Was that a bad idea up to this point?
"Namek. Right. I'm not going to say I agree with you bringing them all away but I'll support it. Just means I have to be even stronger to compensate. Do you really think that's going to make Nasu leave Earth alone though? He's made a few enemies here, including myself. I don't think he'd bother himself with me in particular but he could still come just in spite." Flare decided to break a bit from him and take some steps back. Fixing her hair up as well as she could with her now free hands. The previous marks of battle flames and all, seeming to settle as she let out a sigh and put the remaining grounded flames out with her own will. It was apparent there was at least an objective currently. She had to be strong enough and able to put the weight of Earth on her shoulders.
"Should I go talk to the queen some time? I also needed to speak with the Kami so I can finally get up there and train. I think I'm about ready at this point to give that a go. Ya know, I still have ta catch up to ya so I can do a little more than just give a few scrapes. Just make sure you don't fall back on me, ya hear? If you're out and not willing to come help us when things go down then I'm going to find ya myself and have a very harsh talking to ya. I expect you to do the same if I do the same." The thought of it was sort of amusing, really. her doing all this boisterous talking and loud mouthing and it turns up she would be the one to fail carrying out her part. She had a lot of power to through around, she'd disappoint herself by not being there for him and the others. People who, quite frankly, don't deserve to be targets of any dick head saiyan or pseudo god.
Not many people did deserve that.
"Ya know... If that was all you wanted to say we could have justhad this conversation over at my place. Over a dinner table. Something a bit more relaxin', ya know. Somewhere I wouldn't have had to drag myself out to and get as angry at you at."

"Well, It's not like I'm rounding up every last saiyan and leaving. They all have a choice to come with me or to go wherever they want, even if it's back with Nasu. I made sure that Saiyans would still be welcome on Earth long after I take the Alliance away from it. You're Earthling Queen sounds interesting, from what my grandmothers told me. She's pretty accepting of all alien cultures so it'll be interesting to see this new direction Earth decided to take. As for leaving Earth alone, I'm really not. I'm leaving you here, and Chris as well. There are also a few of the other Defenders of Earth that will still be here when I'm gone. I'll always be available to train any of them if they so wanted it, to reinforce both our defenses.
I doubt Nasu will come back to Earth so quickly anyways... we haven't heard from Kimiko in a while but... she's always been on par with Nasu so I'm sure she'll pop back up as soon as he gets too close for comfort. She's probably his strongest deterrent from coming here." Komatsu explained calmly, his hand up to his chin as he thought things over even more, making sure he had taken every known variable into account for his plan to leave. he really wouldn't be too far so he wasn't too concerned, but 4 hours was still a long time if either world was being invaded. It was a real gamble to be sure, but he honestly felt that removing himself from the equation was the best course of action to take.
"Getting to know the Queen and whoever is covering for my sister as Kami probably isn't a horrible idea. Since you'll be our Councillor here on Earth then getting toknow the Queen would be in our best interest. As for Kami... well whoever guards the planet always seems to have a hell of a bag of tricks up their sleeves. I've never met them, but having you vouch for me could be greatly valuable if something came up in the future." Koma continued, unable to help the chuckle that escaped his lips whenever Flare mentioned them having this conversation over dinner. While he wasn't as voracious as most saiyans, not much talking took place at his dinner table... besides, the last thing he would have wanted was for her to burn her mansion down.
"Well, to be honest I think... I think I needed you to be mad with me... so many in the saiyan alliance still look up to me and I honestly don't feel I deserve that... Just because I'm strong doesn't mean I should earn their admiration and trust when I can't even defend our home. I needed... I needed people to be angry with me. I failed so... yeah.... anyways... I'm sorry." He finally brought his hand up to the back of his head nervously as he kept his eyes averted from Flare for a moment as he seemed to be reflecting on his failure. It was still a difficult pill for him to swallow... but all he could do was try to keep pushing forward..

So it was a clean cut agenda. Meet with queenie, talk to whomever was up on the lookout now, and be social with whoever else was with them on this blue sphere. Flare'd need to clean up and get her act straight before she attempted any of that but it was another goal to go towards. It's one of the best things she could hope for, drag herself out of this rut and stiffen up a bit. She still had a life to live. Komatsu seemed to run off on a tangent about how he needed someone mad at him though. Like this was all his fault. She might have been yelling to his face and beating on him minutes ago but that was wrong of her. And it was wrong of him to think he just deserved that. She took in a deep breath and wandered back to him, putting a firm grasp over both his shoulders.
"Hey, it's not your fault. You gave it your all. A hundred percent. I didn't have a right to come up here and start beating on you, my wrath's suppose to be reserved for those vile monsters like Jarvis. If anything it was the blue prick's doing and your brother's neglect that caused all that. Don't ya think Jarvis woulda been dealt with if Nasu was there too? No, he was off somewhere else. Throwing his might around. It's not your own failure. I failed too, we all did. I've been kicking myself for it over the month as well. Couldn't sleep, couldn't function. Don't be sorry for it, that was all my wallowing in my own failure.
I've an idea before ya leave. Why not a little get together, the two of us. I don't feel it proper this being a goodbye outside the citadel. I need time to unwind I think still before I talk to anyone really. And I think you need a little too. Your choice of place unless you can't think of one. Of course we'd head back to my place first to clean my mess of a face and wardrobe up. -Yours too." She offered to the saiyan with a smirk put back on her face. A total change in demeanor compared to when she came in. They'd both need to ready up and clean themselves but it wasn't like he was on a super tight schedule? It wouldn't take them any time to go somewhere on planet to eat out and chill or something. Maybe spend their last time together for a while a bit more harmonious then just making plans and apologizing to one another.

"As much as I hate him for leaving... he did assume he was leaving the planet in capable hands. Sure he wasn't there but we couldn't expect him to be tethered to the planet to protect us... That's why I want to take the Alliance in this new direction. With a small group like this, we can train one another up to be able to protect ourselves if something like this were to ever happen again." Koma didn't want to shrug the blame off to his brother, at least not entirely. Nasu hadn't told him a single thing about attacking Kold, he had just up and vanished with over half of their strongest forces. It was a stupid move strategically, even by leaving Koma behind to protect. He hadn't been ready, hadn't known what kind of position he would be thrown into... well that was not going to happen anymore, he wasn't going to be caught unprepared again.
Although, Flare's offer at taking it easy and just 'hanging out' caught him by surprise. He honestly couldn't remember ever taking it easy like what she was suggesting... Could he really afford that luxury right now? He had so much to do to get everything ready... but at the same time, the Alliance Saiyans seemed weary... maybe they could use a bit more rest themselves before being pushed into a new era. He gave Flare a cautious nod towards her offer, though he wasn't quite sure where to go.
"Honestly this was the last of the Earthling clothes I have, so even after cleaning up I'll be stuck wearing this. I don't really want to go parading around in my saiyan armor right now. So it's probably best to head back to your mansion, I've never really taken time to myself like that so I wouldn't know where to start..."
Talking about Nasu, boy that reminded her how much the guy was sort of a dick. Maybe in the end this whole ordeal was for the best, Koma being away with the remaining saiyan presence, as it were. The clothing situation Koma had could be solved very easily at her estate even but it seemed the saiyan was wanting to just not be around in public right now. To be frank, Flare hadn't been out in public for a while either. Maybe that was just something she'd have to deal with for a while.
"Speaking of, I kind of have a vendetta against the man. I'm not going out of my way to hurt him or anyone else but if he dares set foot on my planet with the intent acting like a smarmy saiyan I'm not exactly going to hold punches. Dude's strong but he's got an ego that irks me. Kinda wished he wasn't so arrogant, he was fun to smart off with. Absolutely beat the near life out of me though. Saying there's hard feelings is putting it lightly I think. As for the recreation?
Clothing's not a problem Komatsu, if you're really wanting to go out I'm sure I have suits of some sort for ya. I know a great place in North that serves the best spicy noodles I know of. But hey if you wanna be served dinner at my place that's fine with me too. I'm sure Auntie and them can have it ready for us by the time we get there and clean up. What would ya like? My staff can quite literally make almost any dish. Well, at least Auntie does. " She released the Saiyan and just let out a big huff, stretching her arms out as she turned to face the way she came.
"Well I'd say we're ready then huh? I know what I've got to do after you depart and all now. I think I'll be fine with it all since I won't be alone. I can only hope this all doesn't bite us in the ass. Enough talking about all that nonsense though, we need to kick back for a while!"

"No worries, I totally get it. Nasu's a dick and if he shows his face you can bet it means trouble. If he shows up here you need to let me know right away, alright? He's not someone we can handle alone." Komatsu had definitely found that out the hard way... Not once had be been able to beat his elder brother. He'd been able to make him sweat and work for his win, but never take him down. Somehow, his brother was always leaps and bounds above him... What was it that set the two brothers so far apart? Was it because Nasu was so ruthless that he was able to achieve so much power on his own? Koma didn't want to go down that path, but he didn't want to keep falling behind either.
"You're leaving a lot up to me hunh... well, seeing as this'll really be the last time I'll get to explore Earth's culture we may as well go out for those spicy noodles you mentioned. To be honest, I haven't tried any of the food here. We've always just eaten our supplies from home or hunted for ourselves. Not like we really have any Earthling currency for these kinds of things. So yeah, let's go out." He nodded towards Flare, waiting for her to take the lead back towards her mansion for them to clean up and then head out together for some food and some time to just relax and enjoy one another's company.
