A bitter reunion (Tsuken, Nam, Kazama, Geurin)

[Zach]

His dramatic entrance worked better then he had hoped, Zach's sudden arrival had taken Nam completely by surprise, although the other wasn't without a glib remark to throw at him. Nam's accusation that he was just like the Saiyan's was inflammatory yes, but his thirst for Justice had been sated with the vaporization of the city. In spite of the boy's easily sparked temper, there was little Nam could do at the moment to provoke him short of physically assaulting him. Before Zach could get an adequately well worded response out though, Gurin replied for him, verbally jabbing at the fact that the entire population of the city was now gone. The remark didn't amuse Zach though, his broken mind still only perceived the eradication of the city as an evening of the scales. About the only thing that didn't bring the blonde even the slightest modicum of pleasure was his view of Nam's half clothed form, although it was pleasure borne of nostalgia rather then reality.

In his current, golden form, which indeed was something new, Nam was much too bulked out for Zach's taste. Indeed he also had no idea just how outclassed he was, maintaining his first transformation put him around half a million in the arbitrary scale of power that people seemed to reference from time to time. Zach had not the slightest idea that Nam was at current, fully six times his physical strength. That wasn't likely to be tested at the moment though as Gurin went on to insist that he and Nam finish their encounter uninterrupted, to which Zach replied in kind. While Guring further disturbed the clouds with his energy, Zach spoke at length, something he rarely did during a fight. This fight however wasn't his, at least not at the moment so he wasn't breaking his own rules by doing such.

"Nam, I am nothing like those monsters." Zach started flatly and unfolded his arms, clenching his fists but making no offensive moves. "They attacked my world over and over, killed millions of people without pity, remorse or mercy. And now look, where are they? Their entire army, off on a blood hunt to the Changeling world for more murder and carnage. All I have done is even the score. When they get back they'll find their bloody nose waiting for them and then they'll know they are no better then anyone else." Zach paused, turning halfway away as if about to let Nam and Gurin continue their fight, but then continued to speak himself. "And as for fighting a proxy war. Does this look like a war? I see no army defending this planet. I wasn't even seriously challenged even though they had all the time in the world to stop me. No, this was coup-de-gras. It's not being fought proxy either, Gurin is right here with me. and as for leaving the planet, well, one day here one day back, I don't think Earth will be in too mach danger for such a short time, after all, I made damn sure the monkeys weren't heading there before I even agreed to come with Gurin. So really, other then slightly bending what I promised, I've kept to my word. And the best part of it, you want to know what that is? No one knows it was us. No one can link it back to Earth. Earth is save and justice is done." Zach concluded and turned back to face Nam.

"But if you do insist on pressing the matter, I have no problem getting involved here." Zach added. "I just wanted to see if Gurin needed help, he says he doesn't. But if you want a piece of me at the same time, I'm game."

[Nam Reikonaga]

“Tsk!” Is he serious? Nam thought. He clenched his teeth and watched idly as the blond man tried to justify his actions. “Humans are exactly the same…” he said. Something Zach would have obviously denied, but he had remained quiet every time. Every time they met, he tolerated the stupidity in Zach’s words and refrained from even trying to reason where reason did not exist. “Perhaps they’re not as arrogant,” he stated. “But they harm each other, steal, and commit homicide –even genocide.”

The wind passed by them in a breeze. Nam clenched his fists. He wasn’t going to provoke Zach, but if he had to, he’d fight; regardless, he’d rather not, for fighting both meant certain death…

Green lightning struck down and shook the ground below with its ferocity; a powerful gust was cast over the land and blew everything away. Nam remained stagnant though as the little clothing left on his torso flaunted about vigorously and his hair danced over his face. He glanced at the sky, green and superficial. They were the clouds of war which formed whenever two or more super powers of equal strength struggled against each other, but for some reason he had the eerie feeling that there was more to it than that.

“But not all humans are bad, are they?” he asked rhetorically, continuing his last thought process and shifted his gaze back to the blond man. “It’s no different from Saiyans; you’ve only met the few criminals who visit our home and cause destruction. Why do they cause destruction…?” he said, “because they have the power to do it. Would humans not do the same if they had that power? –I bet you they would…”

The saiyan looked around at his surroundings and raised his arms to either side. “But now you have come to their home and made them suffer, killed the innocents, punishing them for the thorns of their race. Zach, I am proof of the good-willed saiyans. Open your eyes! You only hate the ones who destroyed your home, but I haven’t done anything to question your trust, have I?” He grits his teeth and looks down. “Regardless…” he balls his fists. “You still blindly view me as a criminal, as the ones who did you harm…”

[Geurin]

His luck was impossible, Zach had literally distracted Nam with simple conversation while the power above them grew even stronger. The longer they spoke, the greater the energy became, and it was becoming more obvious that it was not simply the weather, but rather an attack, and a strong one at that. Touketsuki Yakedo had supplied a death ball capable of leveling the mountainous region of Paozu in a matter of minutes...uncharged that ball was powerful enough to cause extreme damage...so what would something ten times as powerful do. Suki had after all been at only about one million in power level when the attack fell. Geurin was three times that, and had been charging for some time. Sweat rolled down his forehead, a vein having created a resting place to the right of his eyebrow. He almost couldn't contain himself, his ego taking over once again as the energy above them cackled fiercely.

Zach had destroyed all of Saru city with a little less power than Geurin was outputting now, and the energy only continued to rise as the clasped hands of the demon Namekian warmed with the transfer of Ki. It had been over one hundred years since Geurin had launched an attack even remotely close to this one, and he would not miss his opportunity.

But why speak? Nam and Zach were more than content with bashing each other verbally, arguing back and forth the semantics of right and wrong. Geurin would let them. All of the words they had to say would need to be said now, as in the near future it would be all but impossible for Nam.

Still it charged

[Zach]

'That impertinent brat.' Zach though to himself as Nam retorted, insinuating that Humans were in some way as bad as the Saiyans. "You're a bigger fool then I thought you were if you actually think that." Zach spat back, his fists clenching tighter. "Earth did away with petty violence centuries ago. Saiyans on the other hand live in a perpetual culture of violence. It's all they understand. You may or may be an exception, but only because you weren't raised here." The blonde continued, pausing only long enough to take a breath. "That doesn't make any difference now though. You're in the way here and since you don't want to get out of the way, we'll have to force you."

With that Zach launched himself with the totality of his first transformation's power at the yellow glowing young man, his crimson aura exploding about him ever more violently. At half a million, there was little chance Zach would do any damage but of course, he didn't know that. Nam's yellow glow for all he knew or cared was purely cosmetic. It was true Gurin might not be happy that he was getting involved, but Nam was being belligerent and Zach would have no more of it. Gurin could sit on it and spin, Zach was going to shut Nam up himself since the green man had suddenly decided to stop taking any action. And so, rocketing forward, Zach launched a vicious right handed uppercut aimed for Nam's chin. He would hear no more of Nam's mealy mouthed attempts to falsely paint Humans in the same, disgusting, barbaric light as the Saiyans. Humans invented all of their own technology rather then stealing it from other races. Humans don't arrogantly hold themselves to be better then all the rest and they most certainly don't go around slaughtering entire planetary populations for their own profit and pleasure. No, the Saiyan's are the very height of barbarism, beyond that of even the Changelings and Nam would not stand in the way of bringing them to justice.

[Nam Reikonaga]

“You may or may not be an exception, but only because you weren't raised here."

Those words rung within the saiyans mind; he was brought into an internal discussion and began to question himself once more. The blond man had actually made some sense. Nam was born on earth, and raised on earth by a human while his saiyan father left them to fend for themselves. All this time he wanted to be believe he was the exception, but perhaps that was only true because he was never raised by a saiyan himself. Perhaps he would have been able to discover this for himself. Maybe he would have been able to observe saiyan culture if he had only come to Vegeta before all of this occurred. But instead, this green goblin and the blond human were the first to arrive and attacked without warning.

Zach launched himself forward with clear intent to fight him. Certainly, Nam had pushed his buttons –it was an expected outcome. Regardless… he clenched his fists. “That may be true, but it still doesn’t justify your actions.” The time for words was over. It was evident that the two held very different perspectives; therefore, there was no longer anything to do –except, make the other succumb with force.

The blond man was fast, but even in this form, Nam was mind-cringingly faster than him. The saiyan cocked his overgrown fists back and as Zach approached he’d thrust right over the uppercut and slam the human in the face, which would then send him propelling back from which he came from. “You’re gonna have to fight me at full power if you intend to stand up to me…” he warned. That’s right, Nam felt the power Zach possessed when he destroyed Saru City, but Nam was more worried about Geurin; while his body was weakening by the minute, he only wasted his resources on the human while the namekian rests. Despite this, it didn’t matter whether he fought Zach or Geurin, it was check mate. He could defeat either one of them and then the other would defeat him while he was weakened and defenseless.

Nam gazed at the fleeting man who was falling towards the ground, and then at the namekian standing idly by. He had a choice. Pursuit Zach… or continue his fight with Geurin. “Tsk!” he mumbled. As it was now, he could probably fight Geurin and then flick the human away when he got close. But if Zach transformed like he enticed him to, then he wouldn’t be defeating either of them. Nam extended his left arm towards the namekian and launched a pair of ki blasts, promptly after zanzokening down to where Zach was.

If he was going to survive, he needed to deal with the blond man before he became a problem. By now, he had probably gotten control over his body, but Nam appeared behind the human and slammed him down with interlocked fingers.

[Geurin]

Crack

BOOM

The lightning around them had intensified even greater. Now it would become obvious even to Nam and Zach that this was not the weather. Any normal gust of wind would hardly be felt, but this one was shaking the foundation of their combat. Geurin couldn't stop, not yet. His body was now much larger than it had been before, and although he wouldn't speak, his voice had taken a deeper tone as well. Charging this attack had truly been a powerful experience, and even now he was not finished.

Nam didn't know it, but Zach was not up to par with him in ability, at least not now. Having used up all of his energy facing off against the city itself, the blond human had not yet learned how to go in and out of his transformed state, and so his power level would never spike as high as Nam's. In reality Nam had chosen the wrong opponent, as now Geurin's charge was nearly complete.

It would be catastrophic.

(Charge 4)

[Zach]

Bolting forward with the totality of his power, Zach careened in to deliver his opening punch, only to have his arm knocked aside as if it were nothing and a titanic fist crash into his face. The blow was tremendous and snapped the blonde's head back like a rubber band, his body following suit, arcing backwards. Disoriented as he was by the counter punch, Zach plummeted out of the sky unable to determine which way was up even though up was literally right in front of him. An instant later Nam appeared directly above him, interlinked his hands and pounded down into the teen's midsection with a hammer attack that propelled Zach strait into the ground with more then enough force to leave a crater. The teen had no time to react to the blow and with his arms dangling out to the sides in his disoriented fall, the hammer fist landed without contest.

"Uuuuuugh!..." the boy gagged as he crashed into the ground on his back, his innards erupting in a sudden wave of intense aching, nausea. He'd barely caught Nam's comment about having to fight him at his full power but wasn't going to let the false blonde mock him. Taking what few, haggard breaths he could, Zach sat up and then climbed to his feet. clenching his fists once more, the blonde teen tried to amp his own power back up to the heights he'd achieved less then an hour ago, but all he managed was to flare his red aura out about twice as large as it had been. His hair and eyes though remained the same, clear evidence that he was having some difficulty achieving the higher transformed state.

That wouldn't stop Zach though, he'd faced many opponents stronger then him and never gave up, hell he'd been almost killed twice by the same one for not giving in. This would be no different. It didn't matter of he was outclassed, all that mattered was putting up the good fight and proving that he was the better man. So unable to push himself by sheer brute force into his higher state, Zach opted to make the best use he could of his current powers. Raising his fists back into a defensive posture about his head, the boy called upon his body armor and then started to levitate into the air. "I'm going to make you eat those words. You think bigger muscles and a dye job is going to be enough to beat me? You've got another thing coming." Zach spat back at Nam. He knew just by the force of the blows he'd absorbed that Nam did indeed far out class him but he would fight on. He needed Nam to get closer though so he'd rely on his old technique of leaving his middle wide open. The thought of taking another pounding to the gut like he just did didn't make Zach happy but he was tensed and ready now so hopefully he'd be able to take it. In the mean time the blonde readied his counter, diverting some of his ki energy towards his hand in preparation to launch a counter.

[Nam Reikonaga]

Lightning cackles and sparks with a green hue as the saiyan lands on the ground and picks his sword back up from the ground. He peers to the sky, feeling that evil buzz in his mind. No longer could he ignore the immense power –for they were not just Geurin’s demonic energy, but something brewing within the ominous dark clouds that concealed the sun. Nam wouldn’t be able to perform the Taiyoken anymore.

Damnit… he said, realizing that the namekian wasn’t just standing around and letting them fight it out. He was naïve to even consider such a thing and benighted to not have thought it up in time. Shivers crawled down his spine and then came the blond man out of the dust clouds created by his crash landing impact with Vegetan soil.

"I'm going to make you eat those words. You think bigger muscles and a dye job is going to be enough to beat me? You've got another thing coming." Zach said. That red aura veiled around his body, similar to how Nam had witnessed before the destruction of that city. “Tsk!” Nam clenched his teeth and squint his eyes. Zach was a lot like himself when it came to fighting to the death; neither of them knew when to give up. His aura was awkward though, Nam noticed this from the get-go and concluded that the big energy attack he unleashed on the city had taken so much out of him that he could no longer go full power without proper rest.

With this, Nam did something which would probably piss the human off to new extremes. His blade sparked with energy and as it seemed he was going to launch it towards the human, he took a sharp turn and tossed it towards Geurin at full throttle; it was his Sword Disk attack. Nam flings his sword at his opponent and it begins spinning into an energy disk that could pierce anything. The ferocity of the attack could be heard as it sliced through the air.

Immediately after tossing the blade, Nam extended both arms to repeat a technique he had done once before against Geurin while he was in his berserker stage. Double Tsuihikidan, twin blue orbs of energy form into the palms of his hands and quickly grow in size before bursting into two Kamehameha-like mesmerizing beams of utter power. They roared, following behind the airborne sword. Nam breathed heftily, it wouldn’t be long before he had depleted all of his energy and certainly revert to his base form. If that were to happen, all of his injuries would pile up on him and render him completely defenseless. He had until then, to defeat both Geurin… and Zach…

[Geurin]

The Solar Kikkou Strike.

Geurin had yet to perform the devastating attack, as whenever it came to charge entire cities were lost in its wake. Using this attack on earth would attract far to much attention, and yet here on Vegeta it was perfect...more than perfect.

The attack had been charged fully (five posts) and was about to serve its purpose. Zach had come here for revenge, but Geurin had come for total annihilation. This Solar strike would fly not only into Nam, but through him, and through the planet itself. Geurin had not come to kill pety warriors and civilians, he had come to destroy the home of the Saiyan's.

Permanently.

The sky was a dark red as the fullness of energy from within the clouds came to its completion. The power so immense that even Geurin had trouble harnessing it. Truth be told Geurin had no idea how strong this attack was. It was possible that upon touching the ground the entire planet would instantaniously erupt, killing everyone within. That was unlikely, but even if that were a possibility Geurin would still launch the ultimate genocide of the saiyan race. His fingers tingled with pure elation as Nam returned to his sword. His eyes shook with uncontrollable delight as he set his target, and his body tensed in anticipation as the blade swung its way towards the creature, only to be followed by two much more powerful beams of light.

Nam was to late, he had allowed the attack to charge for far to long, and Geurin knew it. Charging it any further would just be overkill, and his body was ill prepared to suffer the consequences of an exploding planet. Geurin needed the attack to be perfect. Enough to destroy the planet, and yet enough time for all survivors to make it off world. This was his plan.

Looking downward at the spiraling sword, he noted that Zach was charging at Nam, luckily for Geurin, Nam had moved a sizeable distance away from him. If zach was smart he would recognize the launch as dangerous, and get the hell out of the way.

If not...well...Perhaps he and Nam would have a reunion in the after life.

"Good bye Super Saiyan"

Geurin said softly to himself. It was more than likely that Nam had not heard him utter the phrase, but regardless his next action would be more than enough of a farewell as the clouds opened up to a bright green Ki.

"Kikkou Strike!"

The Namekian announced, his hands still locked in position for the attack to launch. Like a strike from heaven itself the energy dropped, it was a pillar of light, charged by Geurin, and hidden by mother nature.

At first the launch was quick, dropping to the ground like a bowling ball, however as it hit the sword it would pause for a moment. This would benefit both Zach and Nam, as they would still have the opportunity to get out of the way. The moment was short lived as the sword was literally destroyed by the intensity of the attack. Next came Nam's follow up, which would pause the pillar for even longer. But being several yards in radius, the beam took them as well and continued its dissent.

Like an immovable freight train the pillar dropped to the ground, the only thing standing between it and Vegeta's total destruction was Nam.

But this time the question was posed...would that be enough?

[Zach]

Standing ready to counter anything Nam might try, Zach was dismayed at the fact that the fake blonde actually turned away from him and diverted his attention back to Gurin. Growling, Zach was about to close and attack himself while Nam played with weapons, however just as he was starting his descent back to the ground, the skies above opened up is a sickeningly powerful green light. The shaft of energy that was revealed reminded Zach of the crimson cylinder he'd used to destroy the city, however this machine of destruction was many times larger. "What the hell is he doing?!" Zach yelled out, actually directing the question to Nam. Gurin's dark motives here were a mystery to the blonde. He'd been under the impression Gurin was fighting Nam to keep him off of Zach's back long enough to destroy the city. There was no need to use an attack this huge unless the Namekian had a target in mind that was much larger then a city. Then it dawned on him, the target wasn't any metropolis anywhere on the planet, nor was it intended for Nam, at least not directly. This monster of raw, destructive energy was intended to smash the entire planet, or at least a good chunk of it.

"Ho...ly... crap..." Zach gasped as he watched, awe struck as the massive pillar of light started into motion, slowed only breifely by Nam's sword and following energy beams. This fight was over, Nam didn't matter any more, Gurin didn't matter, the monkey's didn't matter. The only thing that did matter was getting to Rito and getting away before they were all killed. Abandoning his attack on Nam, Zach's body armor vanished as the teen poured the totality of his ki energy reserve into his ability to fly and rocketed with every ounce of his speed away from the scene. His heavy, darnstadtium weights slowed his progress some, but there was no time to strip them off. Silhouetted against the intense green light of the descending pillar, Zach shot across the sky back towards Gurin's ship with the intention of getting there and at least getting the craft off the ground before the shock wave hit. Still it would be close, the boy had a bit of a distance to travel and then would have to physically lift the space ship off the ground just slowly enough as to not damage it, but quickly enough to get it clear of the ground before the very ground it sat on erupted underneath it.

[Nam Reikonaga]

Nam gasped. It was horrible. The sky split open and then clouds set apart to reveal the giant green monstrosity that had begun to descend upon the land. It wasn’t even in the stratosphere and the ground was already shaking and cracking under the intense pressure. It was like the very moon had been descending and threatening to strike the Vegetan soil. It took the saiyan almost as long as it did for Zach to realize he was planning to destroy the entire planet and that sent goose-bumps down his spine.

“He’s gonna destroy Vegeta…” his eyes widened. A sad day it was for the saiyans, while their leaders were out on a vendetta, they would return to nothing but rubble and once again like many times, Nam found himself in-between it all. Once again he was the only thing standing between the destruction of the entire planet. His first encounter was on Mt. Paozu with Touketsuki Yakedo –no, his first was with Meishi on Central City. His third was against Zach and now Geurin.

He shudders. The first thing that came to mind was ‘stand up to it!’ ‘you can’t abandon these people!’ but if you look around, which people was he not supposed to abandon? The planet was virtually empty –er… at-least, the part of which he was in. His sword seemed to have stopped it if only for a millisecond, but it was soon vaporized and his beams did little to save a bit more time. Nam extended his right arm with palms forward and he thought of the only thing he could possibly do to stop the blow. But he hesitated. Doing this meant death.

‘The Void’ it was an incredibly powerful and dangerous technique Nam had developed himself, but never in his life had he ever used it in real battle. The thought of it terrified him but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. His breathing ragged, and despite the heat emanating from the colossal blast, he felt chilled and cold. It was that feeling of death which seemed to have disappeared when he transformed, but it was back to haunt him.

Current memories flashed through his mind. When he rushed in to face Zach’s attack and tried to save that city. He would have definitely died then and there if it weren’t for Tenshu’s miraculous appearance. And now, he was gone again… What would you gain from dying? those were the thoughts that invaded his mind in that split moment of sudden peace when he was facing his mentor. He had deliberately thrown himself at Zach’s attack, and perhaps it was his own selfish desire to simply die and let go of everything causing him so much pain…

And now… now he found himself asking the same question as the giant energy attack closed in on him. The saiyan lowered his arm. “Tsk!” he squint his eyes. If he died today, everything he did would be for naught. He was nothing but a crack in this castle of glass, and he had to finally accept it. He couldn’t save Central City. He couldn’t save Mount Paozu, and he couldn’t save that city, so it was evident that he had much of a less chance to save this planet with such incredible odds against him. It was something he learned a long time ago. So many beatings he had to endure from the older kids.

“Life isn’t a fantasy…

It’s not like in the heroic cartoons he used to watch where the hero always prevailed against all odds. The good guys didn’t always win. He wasn’t going to win. Nam grits his teeth as he grows misty eyes. His hands clench into a fist. There were still power levels, although faint, there were people still alive. If Nam couldn’t save the planet, then he’d save as many people as he could. And if that wasn’t enough…

His eyes widened…

The Dragon Balls!

Nam’s aura flashed brightly and ferociously. The ground cracked beneath him by both the force of his power and the pressure of Geurin’s attack. He now had a new goal. Live. Rescue. Resurrect. He didn’t know where Namek was, but he knew it existed and he knew the Dragon Balls existed. If there was anything in the universe which could reverse everything and put them back the way they were supposed to be, it’d be that. Nam must live!

In a burst of energy, using his high-speed movement technique, ki was expelled from the soles of his feet at a more vigorous and generous amount. His form was slow, but he needed its durability to even think of escaping –otherwise, his body would collapse under all the tension and pain. He’d die before the attack even started to caress his skin. The land shook once more in a vigorous earthquake. It crumbled below him as he rushed away and evaded the obstacles which rose from the dirt. Pillars of rock rose from the ground in the form of thorns. The ground cracked and opened, lava slowly rising. If things were like this now, he couldn’t even imagine what would occur once the attack actually landed. Would the planet blow up right then and there? Would it wipe everything out including Geurin and Zach? Maybe that was for the best…?

Nam peered forward as he continued to push through. His eyes were locked on the first person he planned on saving. The little saiyan kid he allowed get snapped in the neck by the crazy namekian… Would Nam survive?

[Geurin]

Running, that did appear to be the only reasonable course of action. Anyone left on the planet would no doubt be destroyed, and as the attack made contact with the ground the maniacle laughter that followed was traumatizing.

"Ha! Yes! Burn it all to the ground! Hahaha!"

The impact caused a shockwave that would no doubt be felt for miles around, possibly even planet wide as the crust of the planet ripped away and was immediately met by coursing magma from beneath the normal layers. Like a cut vein, or a hidden spring, Lava began to spew from the sides of the beam as it pushed its way deeper into the planet. Its power not even being stopped by the monumental force of the planet fighting back. It pushed in deeper, disrupting the techtonic plates no doubt causing world wide earthquakes to occur. The attack pushed through to the point that the winds blew Geurin backwards, causing him to flip several times, all the while laughing and enjoying the situation he had created.

By the time the attacked stopped, the planet was still standing, but now came a battle for time. The planet was nearing its destruction, the plates underneath the crust beyond prepare, and the amount of magma pouring to the surface decimating the surroundings. The trouble was even deeper than that, within the core of the planet. It had been damaged, and as the planet itself fought for survival, it would find it futile.

Geurin had won this day, but his victory was only half complete. Nam had somehow escaped the blast, and would no doubt be returning to his ship...Geurin finally stopped the twisting caused from the winds that were now gusting planet wide, he needed to focus. This planet was ready to die, and whether that meant an explosion, or a loss of atmosphere, either way Geurin did not want to be here to find out. He estimated only twenty minutes before the planet would give way to its damage and so he needed to act quickly...and in pairs.

First he would go claim his new pet Masu. Brainwashing, or killing the creature who was fighting him. Then over to his children, killing, or brainwashing their victims. And finally he would find the saiyan child, should he still be alive, and return him to a pod that could possibly leave the planet, he would most certainly be brainwashed.

In order to do these many things Geurin needed to act quickly, his energy was depleted from fighting Nam, but he knew his strength would prevail. His body contorted as two figures crawled out of his back. The split form caused two replica's of Geurin to appear, each one with roughly one million in power level.

The two clones rushed to their job's, instantaniously disappearing and relocating at their targets. Sensing Masu and Izanagi would not be difficult, nor would getting to them. Tsuken however was just below him. Dropping down to the hot lower levels of the planet, he would have to locate the small child before it was to late.

To his fortune, floating on a nearby disintigrating rock, was the fragile form of the boy he had injured earlier in the day. Swooping down to the heated ground he would grab the boy with one hand, and with the other bring two fingers up to his forehead.

This boy was the catalyst, he needed to stay alive.
