Different Paths (Izanagi/open)

[Deleted]

Fifteen days and she had found nothing concerning the whereabouts of her creator. The android’s patience was starting to wear thin, the aggravation of this so far fruitless search building with each passing day. Despite all the information locked away in her memory banks, Eva had no real experience with the outside world. Years of researching the human race could not have prepared her for the general uselessness of its members. There had been several leads initially, but each of the individuals she had spoken too, all acquaintances of her creator, had known nothing.

Unlike her first encounter with humans beyond her creator Eva had harmed those that did not help her. It was true she had no problem taking the life of another, but the android would not do so without reason. Of course if any had made any attempt on her they surely would meet the same fate as the team that attempted to raid her creator’s lab.

Walking through the streets of Satan City the android had the opportunity to study the humans more, finding herself disgusted with the way they lived. The city was over crowded, some of the creatures even living on the streets, no shelter to call their own. Eva herself had no home beyond that of her creators, but she did not need one. Even if she did the android had no doubt acquiring one was within her power. These humans though sat in the streets, some begging for handouts instead of looking to better their stations in life.

Dr. Welch had informed her this was the way of many individuals, not all striving to make their way in the world as he had. This was the first time she was seeing it with her own eyes, almost regretting that she had stepped out from the lab. The android had never dealt with such struggles nor would she ever have too so her view of them was unfair, but from her perspective it was justified. The one human she was close to had earned his station in life so by definition all others were capable of the same thing.

Pausing at an intersection her eyes take in the scene around her, the rest of her body all but motionless as she does. There were so many of them moving about the streets, yet sensing their individual power signatures as her eyes focus on them none of them possessed any significant power. If she so pleased Eva could unleash herself upon them and none of the thousands she had seen this day would be able to stop her.

Why did that thought even rise into her consciousness as a possible path? No part of her initial programming had included such thoughts, yet it had come to her. The android had free will, but never before had a thought like that arisen. Perhaps it was due to the six human lives she had ended a little over two weeks ago, or maybe it was simply because of the growing disgust she felt for their race. Regardless of its source(EasterEgg) Eva pushes the thought aside, for there really was no logic behind such a decision and even if she found some the consequences would no doubt prove detrimental to her search.

”Excuse me.” The words draw Eva from her thoughts as a human male bumped into her, before moving around her and continuing on his way. If the man had not been in such a hurry he might have pondered why her small frame did not move when he bumped into her, the androids body much heavier than a human female of equal size.

Watching the man as he hustles down the street the android again found herself aggravated. He should have watched where he was going and not bumped into her in the first place. Humans had eyes, how could he not have seen her standing there? Letting out a slow sigh Eva believed it was time to leave this city before one of these creatures bothered her enough to draw a reaction from her. Done with this place the android turns for the edge of the city, remaining on the ground so no unnecessary attention would be drawn to her. All she needed was to have more of these humans bothering her as she takes her leave of them.

Jeudiz was walking through Satan City, watching the humans do about their daily lives. It had been several days after encountering Argel. He decided it was time to venture inside the city, and see what he has missed over the years. He looked around; no one was paying him any mind. None of them knew what he truly was. He could easily destroy his way through the city, but something in his head was telling him not to. Whatever programming Benjin gave him it was slowly failing.

”Where are these thoughts coming from. This is why I haven’t been venturing inside cities. I am afraid that I am going to do something to harm these people.”

He continued walking through the city, making sure not to act on the thoughts and images that leep popping into his head. He needed to find someone that could help him. Someone that could maybe get him back to his original state. But maybe he couldn’t go back, not after watching Drego, the one person he was supposed to protect die, in front of him.

Jeudiz walked around the corner, coming upon an intersection he looked around at the humans running around. He noticed a child and his mother in front of him, the mother on her phone. The child turned around looking up at Jeudiz. The pure innocence in the child’s face washed over Jeudiz, there was something about it that made the thoughts go away. She child smiled at Jeudiz, he just nodded and looked back ahead.

”Why can’t every person I look at give the same feeling? Some of these humans need to get hit for the things they say. Maybe someday they will learn, how to act.”[/i]

The mother stopped talking on her phone, and walked out Jeudiz’s view. He looked across the intersection to see a female standing there. Her short blonde hair, moving from the slight breeze. The sleeves appearing to be cut or torn off of her blue jacket with a black tank-top. There was something different about her, she wasn’t like every other person that Jeudiz had come across. She wasn’t human at all, she was like him, an android.

”What is another android doing here on Earth? I wonder what has her so distracted, maybe she is looking for someone. Seems that I am going to have to go talk to her if I want these questions to get answers.”

Jeudiz brought the front of his cowboy hat closer to his shades. He was going to go talk to this new Android to find out her name and where she came from. Jeudiz began to make his way over to the female Android, passing by people that were also walking across the intersection.

One meeting after another with pointless politicians and their pointless complaints. ‘My city needs more funding.’ ‘The taxes are too high.’ ‘The GSF is not properly protecting my citizens.’ ‘Lord Geurin does not pay enough attention to my city.’ It was all petty little bull shit that Izanagi just could not get rid of no matter how much he tried. He had to sit through their pathetic little complaints and then with a calm voice he spoke. He told them what they wanted to hear and that he would attempt to rectify the problems to the best of his ability. That was for the one exception that proved to be too much for the son of the Prime Minister’s patience.

He had blatantly shown him disrespect from the moment that Izanagi had arrived. Through their entire meeting the man had the audacity to talk down to the child and then at the end ordered Izanagi to deliver on his promises or face problems. It caused Izanagi to laugh before he walked over to the man. Using his telekinesis he forced him down to the ground, Izanagi took a deep breath and then lit him on fire. His escort detail was horrified as the foolish man writhed in pain as he slowly was cooked alive. Once he was dead the young child tossed him against the wall and told the escort detail to clean the mess up. That involved burning the house to the ground and framing it as an accident.

However before they had even finished the oldest of the Geurin boys had slipped off on his own. The ability to fly greatly increased his versatility of escaping away from undesirables. If that meant opponents in fights or idiot escorts that he had to have with him in order to preserve appearance even though Izanagi could kill both of them without a second thought.

He soon landed on the top of a building and looked down into the masses of people as they scurried about the city. Pathetic meat sacks, they were weaker than the Saiyans that Izanagi had slaughtered in droves with ease. He could only imagine the carnage the young Namekian could actually achieve on Earth, all of that delicious carnage. Unlike the defenseless invasion the forces of Earth had dealt to the Solar Saiyan Empire Izanagi refused to be ill prepared for the eventual retaliation. It was only a matter of time before it came not an if. So Izanagi had taken it upon himself to make sure that not only was he going to be strong enough to help fight off the potential army but all he had plenty of soldiers with him. Even if they ended up being cannon fodder for mere moments if it would help the Namekian son then they were well worth the finding.

As he sat upon the roof top he could feel each person’s individual miniscule power levels he noticed something that was very strange to him. He saw two figures moving amongst the crowd but he could not feel their power levels. It wasn’t that they were suppressing it but rather they appeared to not have any power at all. Izanagi descended from his perch quickly to investigate further. He landed in front of the blonde one of the couple.

“Hello my dear. May we have a word?” Izanagi tried to ask in his curdiest voice he could muster. No doubt she would be off put by the Namekian’s sudden appearance but it was necessary for the bigger scheme of things. “You can bring your friend along too. The one that is following you. I have some questions for you two.” Izanagi finished with an innocent smile.

Eva was almost clear of the congested streets, almost clear of the riffraff that lined them when a small green creature lands in front of her. Her sensors were always active so she had sensed the above average power signature before he approached, but until he dropped down in front of her she had not cared to investigate further. A Namekian it was called, some of the strange green aliens calling Earth their home instead of their planet of origin, Namek.

This one was small, in power signature and stature. It must be young or a runt she thought, knowing that the creatures grew up to be roughly human size when reaching adulthood. As for the power signature it was much higher than any of the humans walking around, but still lower then hers. Ever confident she was still not foolish enough to think his true power was what she was sensing. Eva herself had the ability to fluctuate her power level so it was completely reasonable to think this creature was capable of the same.

The android cocks her head to the side some when he addresses her, finding herself somewhat curious as to why he wished to speak with her. His mention of someone that was following her prompts a glance behind her, seeing several humans in close vicinity...and a man in black. The brim of the cowboy hat he wore was tipped down slightly, coving part of his face, dark sunglasses over his eyes. Again Eva had been aware of the power signature behind her, but just like with the Namekian had not cared. If at any point the signature had tried to close on her only then would she have cared, and taken the appropriate actions to dispose of the threat.

”The man following me is no acquaintance of mine.” The android refers to him as a man, not having taken a good enough look at him to realize he was in fact an android like herself. ”What is it you wish to speak about? My patience with this city and its inhabitants grows thin, I do not wish to linger.” The android was not annoyed with the Namekian, finding him more interesting then the humans, but her tone would convey she was indeed reaching the end of her rope with the humans around them.

[Deleted]

As Jeudiz began to approach the female android, she began to walk away from him through the congested city. He began to follow her through the city, all he wanted to do was know where she came from. Jeudiz followed her for several minutes until a slam green creature came from the sky. Landing in front on her. Jeudiz made his way up to the female android and the small creature.

“You can bring your friend along too. The one that is following you. I have some questions for you two.”

”I wanted to ask her a few questions, that is why I was walking behind her. I knew at some point she would have to stop.”

Jeudiz looked down at the green person scanning him over, he was a namekian, and a small one it seems. Further scanning showed that this little namekian was still a child, which would explain his height. What could this Namekian possibly want the Jeudiz, or the female Android.

” ”What is it you wish to speak about? My patience with this city and its inhabitants grows thin, I do not wish to linger.”

Jeudiz listened, her words were cold, apparently she didn’t like being in the city. She also didn’t like the people, Jeudiz looked around and could understand that. These people have no idea what could happen to them at any moment. For some reason he has stayed here, for years trying to protect them. But for what reason, nothing he has done has changed anything. Maybe it was time to try something else. Jeudiz quickly turned those thoughts away.

”What could you possibly want to talk about Namekian? I think it would be better if we talked in a different location. These people seem to not notice us standing here.”

As Jeudiz said that a human ran into him, the human was sent back while Jeudiz’s body didn’t even budge. The human got up and began to shout at Jeudiz, getting in his face about being in his way. Jeudiz looked down at the human, but said nothing. Thoughts of putting the human through the building behind him flooded in Jeudiz’s mind. With every fiber of his being he resisted attacking the human. That would only cause more trouble them good, and would go against everything he believed in, or so he thought.

Watching the human walk away ”Well I think that proves my point, I think we should go somewhere else to talk. I also have questions for the female and for you now Namekian.”

Jeudiz looked at the female android, then back at the Namekian. Waiting for the Namekian to lead the way, since for some reason he needed to talk to two androids.

[Deleted]

Even standing right in front of the young Namekian he still could not feel the energy levels of the two people that were standing in front of him. It was unnerving but more so he found himself excited at the prospect. Perhaps they were more powerful than his father and even he didn’t know. Or maybe even was a more entertaining thought. Despite their human appearances maybe they were not human at all. As these thoughts went through Izanagi’s mind a knowing smile grew on his young face.

The way that both of them acted and regarded humans was kin to Izanagi’s own heart. The female easily displayed her displeasure of them verbally while the male albeit he probably did not mean to do so showed his as well. It was through a much more implicit manner in the fact that he had reacted very coldly to the unruly human which no doubt could have been destroyed in a flash. Izanagi’s mind began to turn as he thought of all of the possibilities that he could execute with these two as he obedient warriors. Now it came time to do something that he had hopefully inherited from his father. It was time to manipulate them to his will.

“It does seem to be crowded down here does it not? Perhaps a quieter location is indeed in order.” Izanagi conceded politely as he surveyed the surrounding buildings. He wanted to bring them to new heights both literally and figuratively. “To the roof then. Follow me if you can.” Izanagi stated as he lifted off of the ground and flew up towards the roof of the nearest skyscraper. He never looked back to see if they following or not. If they could not fly then they would be of little help to the ambitious youth and could be easily discarded.

Once on the roof of the skyscraper he could see a building off in the distance burning amongst hellish flames. It had once been the home of an unruly politician but after he had misspoken to Izanagi he met his bitter and painful end. Izanagi let out a spiteful chuckle before letting these words slip out from under his breath, “Pathetic fool. From your flames a new phoenix is born.”

[Deleted]

Cool eyes remained on the Namekian as he speaks, conflicting thoughts being played out in her head. One option was to kill the creature, take its head from its small shoulders with one swipe and then obliterate it so there would be no regenerating. The other option was to follow him to the rooftop. Both presented different outcomes, and both promised to provide entertainment.

Even as the creature lifts from the ground and starts to head for the building the android hesitates, watching him rise into the air. Eva had no problem using her Ki to fly, yet she was unsure if she wanted to follow him. He was interesting, there was no doubt about that, but she was wondering if he was truly worth her time. So far there had been nothing about the outside world that had entertained her, the android growing bored with her life beyond the lab more every passing day.

When the Namekian was close to halfway up the building Eva makes her decision, slowly rising from the ground. As always there was no haste in her accent, casually floating up towards the top of the building. Glancing down as she rises the android again finds herself watching the humans moving around below her on the street. A number look up to watch her in the air, their eyes not lingering long since flight by those with control over Ki was not uncommon. From higher up they looked like insects walking along the sidewalks, a small smirk forming on the androids lips.

Looking up the young one clears the lip of the building before her of course, most likely setting down on the roof. Rising past the lip herself Eva spots him towards the middle of the structure, looking off in the distance at a burning building. Foolish humans, they could not even keep their own structures safe from themselves. Touching down on the roof the addresses him

”We are alone now Namekian, what is it you wanted to speak of?” Having no real interest in the other male Eva cared little if he was present or not.

[Deleted]

Still looking at the Namekian wondering if he was going to answer him about moving to a different location. Jeudiz once again looked around at the humans; he needed to get to some place that was less clustered. He wasn’t going to do anything to them, but each day it was getting harder and harder to avoid it. Jeudiz looked back down at the little Namekian.

“It does seem to be crowded down here does it not? Perhaps a quieter location is indeed in order.”

”That is why I suggested we move earlier. There are just too many humans around here to talk about anything.”

Jeudiz watched as the little Namekian lifted off of the ground and headed to the rooftop on the building behind them. Jeudiz as well began to lift off of the ground, looking down at the female. It appeared that she was undecided whether or not she was going to follow them up to the roof. He finally arrived at the rooftop noticing the Namekian looking off into the distance. Jeudiz turned around to see a building on fire.

”I hope someone takes care of that soon, it looks like it is going to spread through the city. I am sure it will be taken care of, I am not equipped to handle a fire.”[/i]

Jeudiz looked back at the Namekian, but before he could say anything the female landed on the rooftop and spoke.

”We are alone now Namekian, what is it you wanted to speak of?”

”I am also curious as to why you wanted to talk to me and her. What is it that you could possibly want?”

Jeudiz looked from the female to the Namekian waiting for the Namekian to speak. He wasn’t going to stay here all day talking to these two. He mainly wanted to talk to the female, something about her didn’t sit right. It feels like she doesn’t fit in with everyone in this city. Jeudiz was going to find this out one way or another.

[Deleted]

Neither one of his guest seemed to enjoy the view as much as he did. It was rather a shame because it was from here that he felt like the humans were in their proper place. Humans were only in their proper place when they were leagues below his feet. The one human that seemed to be above the young sociopath was Zach which was only a temporary situation. All humans belonged beneath his feet and just like his father Izanagi would find a way to rid himself of Zach. Ambition was something that he did not have a short supply of.

It was standing next to them that he was able to get a closer look at these power level lacking entities. They certainly appeared human enough but he knew better. They were far from humans. All humans had power levels and when someone doesn’t it could only mean one thing, they weren’t human. The Namekian scanned each up and down very quickly then took a step towards the two of them.

“I was wondering if I could recruit your help in a fight to defend the Earth from an invading army that will arrive in the skies. It only wished to rain death on the populace of this planet. Destroying our favorite little hiding spots,” Izanagi stated as he eyed the Cowboy hat wearing mal. His gaze shifting to the female, “Killing those we actually care about and want to see. I have been tasked with preparing for this upcoming army and need qualified fighters.”

Izanagi paused as he thought on how exactly he wanted to state the next coming bit of information. He weighed several options in his head but decided that the most direct approach was going to be more than fine. It also helped to cut down on the amount of confusion that did not need to occur. “I also wanted to know what you two were. You see all living creatures have a power level and when trained a person can pick up on another’s power level or signature. You two however I cannot feel anything from. This is a first for me and you frankly piqued my curiosity. So do you mind telling me what you are, where you came from and what you two frankly want out of this life?” It was a little job interviewy but Izanagi needed to know who he was dealing with before he tried to back stab them. After all knowing where their weaknesses were made the back stabbing all that much easier.

[Deleted]

A dismissive snort was her initial response to his statement, the android not caring in the least if some outside force was to rain down death on the inhabitants of this world. On the entire planet there were only two beings that she held any care for, and one of those was her. Beyond her own self preservation Eva cared only for her creator, which despite her best efforts had not been found. Over two weeks had gone by since his disappearance and even though she did hope to find him she knew the chances he was even alive were slim.

As for the rest of the creatures on this planet, let them rot or become slaves to this army that was said to be on its way. If a worse fate was to befall the planet itself she only need leave it in her space pod, perhaps there were races amongst the stars that were not as weak as what she had been modeled after. Why should those with the power to save their own hides put themselves in harm’s way for the sake of the rest? If the rest truly wanted to live then they should become stronger, become strong enough to handle the threat on their own.

Looking at the small Namekian the androids decides to entertain him for the time being. Perhaps there was something she might gain from him, although she doubted it. If his only goal was to collect fools to act as a shield for Earth he had asked the wrong android.

”I am Eva-01, an android created by the scientist Dr. Jordan Welch. My business in this city is my own, but I can assure that it doesn’t have anything to do with protecting those spineless creatures that wander the streets. I came up here because you two also piqued my curiosity, but if all you wish for are hero’s to help in the defense of Earth then I am done here.”

Casting a sidelong glance at the man in black Eva did not address him at all. It was nothing personal against the man, but he had not asked her anything himself. Both of these males possessed significant power levels, higher than anything the android had encountered so far, but that was the only thing that interested her. Beyond that the duo were just as insignificant as the humans below in her eyes, it did not seem she could benefit from them in the least.

With her hands on her hips the female does not leave yet, wanting to hear the man in blacks answer to the Namekian’s question so she could at the very least note his name, the same went for the Namekian. If the overall conversation did not evolve beyond the discussion of protecting humans Eva would not hesitated to take her leave.

[Deleted]

“I was wondering if I could recruit your help in a fight to defend the Earth from an invading army that will arrive in the skies. It only wished to rain death on the populace of this planet. Destroying our favorite little hiding spots,”

”Well maybe an invading army is exactly what this planet needs. Something to get the humans to realize they aren’t as great as they think they are. Wait No…..what am I saying, that’s not true, they need someone to protect them. I need to get away for a while clear my mind again.”[/i]

“Killing those we actually care about and want to see. I have been tasked with preparing for this upcoming army and need qualified fighters.”

”Well it seems that you know a lot about this supposed army that is going to come attack Earth. If you don’t mind me asking who or what is going to be attacking here?”

Jeudiz waited for the namekian to respond to the question he asked, but it seemed that it was ignored.

“I also wanted to know what you two were. You see all living creatures have a power level and when trained a person can pick up on another’s power level or signature. You two however I cannot feel anything from. This is a first for me and you frankly piqued my curiosity. So do you mind telling me what you are, where you came from and what you two frankly want out of this life?”

Jeudiz was curious as to why the Namekian would even care about why he couldn’t sense his power signature. As to the other questions, where we came from and what do we want out of our lives, well the Namekian wasn’t going to get an answer to any of them. Jeudiz has gone years without telling anyone what he is or where he has come from, that wasn’t going to change now. Jeudiz was going to answer the Namekian but the female beat him to it.

”I am Eva-01, an android created by the scientist Dr. Jordan Welch. My business in this city is my own, but I can assure that it doesn’t have anything to do with protecting those spineless creatures that wander the streets. I came up here because you two also piqued my curiosity, but if all you wish for are hero’s to help in the defense of Earth then I am done here.”

So she is also an android created by a scientist called Jordan Whelch. Jeudiz has never heard of this person and was surprised to see that there were other androids in the city. Her words were cold and ruthless about the humans, she called them spineless creatures. Jeudiz has also slowly began to stop caring about the humans down there, but if something as coming to attack earth he wouldn’t let them die, he couldn’t. Jeudiz noticed the female slightly turning her head his way, it seems that it is his turn to talk.

”Well it is nice to meet you Eva, as for me my name is Jeudiz. As for your questions Namekian just like Eva here my business in this city is of my own. I don’t know why you can’t sense my power signature because I can sense yours, Eva’s and every human that walks in the city. Let’s talk about the more important matter; you say that there is an army coming to attack earth. Well like I said earlier do you know what or who is coming to attack Earth? To be honest you have intrigued me with this army that is coming here, so I will hear you out further.”

[Deleted]

Eva and Jeudiz. Izanagi could not help but chuckle to himself over the coincidence of the similar names to that of human lore. The very humans that neither seemed to be overjoyed to around. The male seemed to enjoy talking out of turn and trying to interrupt Izanagi when he was in the middle of something but that could easily change with obedience training. The female was more in tune with the proper etiquette that he would expect out of his servants. She appeared to be more driven by more Earthly possessions, which was much more easily abused opposed to moral up standing.

“No. I did not just want to talk to you about that. Though…that is one of the more foremost things on my mind. As for the approaching army well that is none other than the ruthless evil empire that wishes to make all subservient to it. In fact if my guess is right by now the World Trade Organization is on its final leg of life and will soon disappear from this existence.” Izanagi stated emphatically as he casually paced back and forth in front of them.

“What I want from you two is to become my escorts. My body guards if you will. I don’t truly have a grasp on how powerful you are but frankly I could care less at the current moment. As long as you are more capable then the two fools I have bumbling around after me now.” Izanagi grumbled the last part. He saw really no reason why his father wanted him to have bodyguards. Anyone on the planet that could actually threaten the child’s life was under his father’s banner. And if one of them turned then his father would just put them down himself.

He turned to them again and this time with a smile that had his true intentions peeking out from behind it spoke, “By agreeing to do so brings great rewards with it as I am highly influential. I know all the desired people to know on the planet including your creator Dr. Jordan Welch. He was a nice man, last I heard of him he was in transit to one of our facilities.” Izanagi had absolutely no idea where the man was but he would play any card he had to in order to be successful. “Obviously working for me will bring its fair share of reward. The obvious nominal pay of zeni for would be included. But also access to items that would make you ten times as strong as you are now.”

Izanagi gently lifted off the ground until he was about eye level of the two of them using his telekinesis. Both had cold robotic eyes and Izanagi could only think of all of the trouble that he could cause with them at his back. The good memories were only starting, and who knew perhaps when their usefulness had run out he could feed their lives to his father as he finally killed him. “What do you say?”

[Deleted]

“Well it’s nice to me you Eva” What a ridiculous statement. Besides her creator the android have never met anyone that was worth her time, not beyond their usefulness. All the humans she had interacted with during her search had provided her with nothing, evening making a deal with one that proved to be a waste of her time. That one had been allowed to live, but only because she had more on her mind and after all he had not made any attempt on her.

The Namekian on the other hand seemed to have a little speech prepared for them, rambling on about the World Trade Organizations demise and that Earth might soon follow. This was starting to get old, this green creature could offer her nothing more than the rest in the city. About to turn from him and take off the android is stopped in her tracks when the name Jordan Welch passes through the child’s lips. Her body shows no real outwards signs of interest, the android not one to give into irrational emotions, but if he was observant enough he would be able to see her truly had her attention now.

With her naturally calm demeanor Eva listens as he finishes, his final question posed to the two of them. Not caring in the least what this Jeudiz had to say she answers his question with her own.

”You know of Dr. Welch? Tell me which facility he has been taken too. Although I do not know your name or station, I warn you Namekian, do not withhold this information from me.” Eva’s hands drop from her hips to allow her arms to dangle at her sides. It may look like a relaxed stance, but it truly meant the android was ready to attack if that is what it took. In this position she had that ability to deploy her blades and strike with ease.

If he had been looking for what button to push to get her going he had indeed found one. After two weeks of pointless searching the android had grown aggravated with herself, and was a little more on edge then she normally allowed herself to get. Again she was not one to react based simply on emotions, but that also meant emotions like remorse and sympathy did not get in her war. The threat was one hundred percent real so it was in the Namekian’s best interest to speak quickly or the situation was guaranteed to escalate quickly.

From the moment she had started speaking, and while she waits for an answer her mind was at work. The Namekian child was closer to her now, floating up at her level. His elevation would only make it easier to strike if it came to it. Her mind calculated the distance between them, the milliseconds it would take to strike, and the amount of force that needed to behind the blow. Namekians had the ability to regenerate, but it was not instantaneous. If her first strike took off an appendage or more then the android had the perfect chance to contain him in order to get the information she required.

As for the male off to her right Eva was still aware of his presence, but at the moment had nothing to discuss with him. In all honesty she still wasn’t aware he was an android much like herself since she was able to sense him just like any other human.

“No. I did not just want to talk to you about that. Though…that is one of the more foremost things on my mind. As for the approaching army well that is none other than the ruthless evil empire that wishes to make all subservient to it. In fact if my guess is right by now the World Trade Organization is on its final leg of life and will soon disappear from this existence.”

”World Trade Organization, what force could have them on their final legs. They have been around for a long time, what could have taken them out. He said something about a rutheless empire, he couldn’t be talking about the Saiyan Solar Empire, could he? No he couldn’t be talking about them.”[/i]

Jeudiz continued to listen to the namekian, he was wondering what he was to be given if he agreed to follow him, or the reason he wants Jeudiz and Eva to join up with him in the first place.

“What I want from you two is to become my escorts. My body guards if you will. I don’t truly have a grasp on how powerful you are but frankly I could care less at the current moment. As long as you are more capable then the two fools I have bumbling around after me now.”

”So you want us to be your body guards from this invading army? If I happened to agree and become your body guard what would I get in return? If I am thinking of the same force that might be coming for earth that you are then I am going to have to get stronger before that.”

Jeudiz soon got answers to his questions

“By agreeing to do so brings great rewards with it as I am highly influential. I know all the desired people to know on the planet including your creator Dr. Jordan Welch. He was a nice man, last I heard of him he was in transit to one of our facilities. Obviously working for me will bring its fair share of reward. The obvious nominal pay of zeni for would be included. But also access to items that would make you ten times as strong as you are now.”

Jeudiz was glad that the Namekian was going to give him access to items that will make him stronger. The zeni pay wasn’t a concern of his; he was going to get stronger to protect Earth. Something else caught Jeudiz attention. When the Namekian mentioned Dr. Jordan Welch, Eva’s position, her attention seemed more focused on what the Namekian was saying. He wondered if the Namekian also taken notice of this.

”You know of Dr. Welch? Tell me which facility he has been taken too. Although I do not know your name or station, I warn you Namekian; do not withhold this information from me.”

”It seems like you have said the wrong thing Namekian; you might want to tell her what you know. She doesn’t seem like the person you want to mess around with. As for your request I accept, I will be your bodyguard up until the invading force is driven back. Once that happens I will no longer be your bodyguard. Ok?”

Jeudiz gave a slight chuckle as he turned around looking at the horizon.

The female android took the bait that Izanagi had laid. In order to truly manipulate someone you had to figure out how far they could be pushed before they snapped. Apparently this android’s breaking point was this Dr. Jordan Welch. Izanagi spent a moment wracking his brain if he ever truly did know the doctor and sure enough he did. He had been hauled away by his father’s goons for not obeying the Prime Minister’s order of creating an android army. He had escaped for a single short year before he was found again by the GSF’s secret police about two weeks ago. What happened to him after that didn’t interest the young sociopathic namekian.

“I do not know much. Last I had known was that he had received a summons from the government to talk about the various research he has done over the last several years. We had wished to possibly advance our artificial intelligence technology. It would greatly help our cause.” Izanagi said with a smile. He slightly cocked his head as he did so. Then he felt like it was time that he revealed his true identity to his two possible recruits.

“By the way I need to let you know I am not just lying to you. Which means that you need to know my name.” Izanagi lands on the roof again and takes a few steps backwards. With a slight bow he speaks, “My name is Izanagi, son of Prime Minister Geurin and general of Earth’s armies. My word carries more weight than any except one on this entire planet.” Let them believe every word he said. Let them think whatever they think. Izanagi was truly one of the most influential people on the entire face of the planet of Earth.
