Year One -
For some reason, C.haos had signed himself up for a tournament. And though he didn't know why, he assumed it was for the Zeni prize, he was seemingly excited. He left Souka in the dark about it, figuring he didn't need to know, and left, heading straight for the arena.
It was very crowded, and he was forced to simply fly over the field of people attempting to enter the stands to watch the fights. C.haos could feel the power of a few of the fighters and it put a grin on his face. They were very powerful. Perhaps C.haos could find a challenge.
He landed at the registration table right as they began calling last call. The two registrars looks very surprised by C.haos's appearance. C.haos looked at them, "Wipe those stupid looks off your faces. I am in." the registrars flew through his application, and motioned to the spot he would wait.
He did as told, and sat at one of the benches as the commentator began going over the rules. No killing. Ring-out/knock out/forfeit matches. These all turned C.haos off, but he had signed up, and he was ready.
A few fights went by, and C.haos noted they all were pretty close. Then his name was called. He flew gently over to the ring, feet grazing the ground; arms crossed, tail wagging lightly.
As his opponent was called into the ring, he looked him over and read his power level. He was a three eyed, darker skinned man. He seemed weak enough, and his energy levels were nothing to be afraid of. Perhaps this was a waste of time after all.
The three eyed man got into an odd fighting stance, but C.haos remained in the same stance, huffing at the odd fighter. As the announcer shouted, beginning the fight, the man screamed, and ran at C.haos.
It was a frontal attack, which was a mistake against such a swift fighter like C.haos. A light grin appeared on his face, and as the fighter neared him, his mighty tail connected with the man's left ribs, causing him to fly off in that direction.
In nearly an instant, C.haos was hovering above the ground in front of him, waiting for a second attack, arms still crossed. His tail slapped upwards at the man, sending him into a spinning frenzy towards the sky. As he flew higher and higher, C.haos shot upwards with him, readying for yet another attack.
The man attempted to free himself from the spinning, but could not, and was hit by C.haos's third attack. His arms went behind his head, fingers interlocked, and he brought them down hard on the man's back, causing him to rocket even faster towards the ground.
As he flew, he built up so much speed his clothes literally burned off. And as he smashed into the ground, it cratored under him.
The crowd went silent as C.haos gently fluttered down, his feet touching the arena floor. The silence was broken by the announcer, who began praising C.haos's abilities.
C.haos shook his head, "What a waste of time... This man isn't even worth the energy it would take to destroy him." C.haos looked to Souka, and jerked his head back, motioning him to follow. He the. Jumped out of the arena and over the stands. He was finished.
His feet landed on the concrete of the roads and he heard the announcer telling him to come back. He had advanced to the next round. But after such a pathetic fight, he would waste no more time. It was time to go. Time to leave Earth and head for Nor.
"I'm sorry for getting you involved in this. But this tourney was in all the newspapers. It appears... I believe... That much of the Earth's fighters cannot offer us anymore training opportunities, unless we were to take on someone of Geurin's caliber." Souka told him, but the truth was it wasn't his fault. And he was right. Earth offered no challenge anymore. That was why C.haos and he were to leave.
"It's fine, brother. This is one of the reasons we will head to Nor. I assume that by this time next year, you and I will be far more powerful. I feel as if this planet is holding us back."
"We should go back to my apartment. Katashi has prepped our space ships for our voyage. All we need to do is get in them and leave. I know we were short on money, so I asked him to not trade in our small ships for one big one. There isn't a market to sell and buy such bigger ships at a cheaper price, so I hope you're fine with traveling in basic space pods," Souka explained, but it was no concern of C.haos.
"That's fine Souka. Good job." he gave a light smile to his brother, and patted him on the back. "Now, lets get going."
C.haos and Souka then Depart for planet Nor after a few days of rest. The trip takes two months, but soon they find themselves on the nearby moon, where they can train. C.haos stays in his ship as it lands, and communicates to Souka over a radio, "No oxygen out here, but no one to disturb us. We can train as long and hard as we need to. We'll take the rest of the year, and depart for Nor as soon as we are finished. How does that sound, Brother?"
"That sounds fine..." Souka voiced over his radio communicator, "but we have one small problem..." C.haos rose a brow as an image of his brothers pod showed up on the small screen. All he could see was the ugly face of Souka's familiar slave.
"YO!" Katashi cried, "I brought myself a space suit! Let's go explore da' moon!" His voice made C.haos cringe and the sight of his face annoyed him.
"He got on board of my ship before we took off and there was nothing I could do. He wanted to travel with us, but the only way I felt I could remove him was to rip apart the tin cans we are riding in." There was a pause, "It is cramped in here, but I might want to talk about him with you for a bit, once we land. He definitely though is wearing a specially made space suit, so I can get out and talk with you about the matter once we do."
On the screen, it was made obvious that Souka had knocked Katashi out cold by his dumb blank face. And with that, he switched off the screen.
C.haos, whom had already landed, nodded, "Fine, Souka. Just make sure you knocked him out hard enough to actually hold a discussion this time." Though he was sure that Souka was tormented enough by Katashi's annoying travel songs, like wheels on the bus, he had to flick him a little crap. After all, that's what big brothers did.
He flicked off his ship, cutting the communication before his brother could respond, and began to open his pod. The seal let out a mighty hiss, and steam broke from the opening. As the oxygen left, C.haos could feel his lungs tighten and seize. He took a few breaths, but his lungs failed to expand. A sharp pain shot through him as he tumbled out of the ship, grasping at his throat.
He had trained in situations where he had little oxygen, and even under the water, but he always had the option to breath. Now, being on the moon, he had none, and his body was having a tough time transitioning.
He hoped Souka wouldn't see this, and tried to compose himself, but without air, this was quite the feat. But after a few moments of antagonizing pain, he was able to breath again. The green color returned to his face, and the holes in his body all closed, making things much easier for him. He turned to face Souka's position and smiled, pleased that his brother would miss his struggle. And he watched the ship land smoothly.
The gravity was slightly less than on Earth, and C.haos could easily bound over to the ship in one jump. But after his struggle, he was happy with just walking.
As Souka exited his ship and met C.haos on the opposite side of the large crater near them, he spoke, "Um, so now that we are here. I figure we should talk Katashi. He's a straggler in space here as we are now. He will slow us down, but I really have to say I do not want to kill. He's got some use I suspect. He's way stronger than a small child or a grown man without training in martial arts, or even some people with basic martial arts. We should use him as a distraction on an arable and livable planet, take whatever we need from it, and abandon him there. I'm not sure he really liked Earth, but this is how I think we should do things.
"I would like to offer if we cannot train him enough in say about two to four years I suggest we definitely do this to him."
"I do not care of his fate. I simply want him out of my way. And I assure you that if he gets in the way, I will have no problem destroying him," C.haos told him, a serious look upon his face.
During their long period of intense training, Souka would often ask how to use ki somewhere other than his hands. This was something C.haos had experience in, but was hard to explain. It all came so naturally to him.
During the third month, C.haos had finally caught glimpse of a new move. This realization made him awkwardly happy, and caused him to break down and try to answer Souka's constant question. They had been training together almost none stop, and had yet to be bothered by the android's human slave.
He explained to Souka that to do what he was looking for, you would have to store the energy up until it felt as though it would explode. Then release it. At first, the results might not be what you were looking for, but the more effort you put in, the easier and easier it would become to control.
After a short conversation, he gave his new attack a shot. Building his ki up inside him, he was able to manipulate his weight, causing him to move much slower, as if he weighed a ton. He could use this for training, much like a gravity chamber, or to easily crush his opponents with a punch or slam. Rightfully so, he named this technique the HammerFist.
Over the months, C.haos and Souka grew in power. C.haos could feel his brother's abilities grow stronger each day, and as they sparred and trained together, he knew that they were nearly ready to invade Nor.
But training on the moon wasn't easy. C.haos was used to both the average gravity on Earth, and the pressure below the sea; but on this moon, it was different. There was still gravity, but very little, causing both C.haos and Souka to move at slow speeds. Furthermore, the alight gravity made blasts build up much quicker than on Earth, and rise as they traveled forward. Theses changes made training on the moon a very rewarding experience for C.haos, and by the time the year had ended, he had mastered his new technique, and the challenges the moon held.
Year Two -
He smiled as he climbed into his ship, sitting down in the small pod. Finally, it was time. And C.haos was ready. With new moves and a years worth of training, C.haos figured that he and Souka would both have the ability to defeat Amaranth once and for all.
He clicked a few buttons on the ship interior and the door closed. A familiar hiss assured him that the lock had formed, and the inside of Souka's ship appeared on the onboard screen. "Are you ready, Brother?" he asked, preparing to start his pod.
"I'm ready I think but I'm surprised the kid is around still." Souka responded, motioning to the blur of flesh and bones in his ship
"I really resent that!" Katashi shouted, elbowing the android.
"If we're on this strange planet's moon are you intending to do something to the nearby planet we're headed towards? If so, how do we plan to attack it?" Souka asked, preparing to take off.
C.haos smiled, and explained his plan. It was simple. First, they would land. From there, Souka and C.haos would leave the ships, and Katashi, to guard them. They would follow Amaranth's power signature, until they spotted her, and from there, they would wait till the perfect moment to attack.
Then, C.haos pod lifted off the dense moon rock, and blasted for the planet, looking much like a meteor as it began to rip through the atmosphere.
It sped along at its fastest speed, taking only an hour to land. As it crashed into the planet's ground, C.haos wasted no time stepping out. The holes on his body reopened, and air filled his lungs. This time there was no pain. Smiling he stretched, and waited for Souka to land.
Souka then walked over to C.haos and said, "I want to make Katashi a more powerful tool. When we get into the any cities or towns on this planet I think I need to go to the market place to get a few things for him, training weights, muscle milk, whatever can make him stronger. I want him to at least be able to kill one wimp on this planet, even if its only a teenager or child."
C.haos looked him over before his eyes scanned the human, "You fought the blond girl on Earth, Souka." He told him, referring to Amaranth, "This is her planet. Here we will find no weaklings. Even the children will be in the thousands. I can feel it already."
He looked to the sky, then turned in a circle, scanning the surroundings. It looked much like Earth, except for the weak sun and two moons in the sky. The scent was much more earthy than Earth, if that made any sense.
He then started to head off, when he stopped, turning back to face Katashi, "You will radio us if you come in contact with anyone. You are not to mention either of us. If anyone asks, your friend crash landed, and you followed. You have been looking all sense you landed, and now you must rest. Do you understand?" His tone was that of someone talking down to a lesser being, which was what Katashi was.
Then, before the human could answer, C.haos turned back and began to walk once again, continuing at a brisk speed.
It took C.haos hours to sort through the energy signals, rooting out everyone that wasn't Amaranth. But a slick smile covered his face as he finally found her. She was a two days walk from their current position. And because this was her home planet, she had no reason to mask her energy.
C.haos and Souka already had a near to zero signal, and would also have no problem getting as close as they needed. He let out a light laugh, and explained to Souka the walk ahead of them. Because neither were human, they had much more stamina and could nearly walk nonstop to the target location.
"If they're all stronger than us how come we're not dead yet and also why are we here if you know whatever target we're going to hunt can kill us. This whole plan seems stupid. I say we lure out a single Norian, take their money and leave. We're wasting our time here. I do not want brats to beat me over the head and throw us around like toys. I already do that kind of thing with one annoying Earth brat." Souka replied, a long and drawn out speech that C.haos did not want to hear.
Souka then turned his head away and scanned the area, "I suspect, if she has a house, the girl will be living there and you want us to go there. She'll kill us you know, as I've already said."
"You seem to be scared of death, Souka. For someone that has already died once, that is a little surprising," C.haos teased, shaking his head.
"But you are wrong, Brother. We bested her on Earth. We can do it again. This is her home planet; do you honestly believe that she came here to train?" C.haos shook his head as he pushed through some brush, the low hanging trees and bushes becoming a burden as the walked towards Amaranth's energy.
"Because we spent a year training, our powers should be far beyond her own. That does not; however, mean that are the strongest beings on this planet. I felt far greater energies when I stepped out of my pod. But we are only after her. So as long as we stay silent, and stick to the plan, I do not see why we should have to worry about it."
He smiled a true smile towards his android slave. He was beginning to grow closer to the boy, forming a brotherly bond. But that was all part of his plan. However, C.haos could feel something different inside himself. Perhaps he was beginning to care for this young android, like a true brother. But he quickly shook away those thoughts.
There was no way the Great C.haos could have feelings like those. His only goal was perfection. And perfection os why he rebuilt the boy. He was simply using him until he was sure that the android could grow no stronger, and thus be the highest gain for himself.
For some reason, C.haos had signed himself up for a tournament. And though he didn't know why, he assumed it was for the Zeni prize, he was seemingly excited. He left Souka in the dark about it, figuring he didn't need to know, and left, heading straight for the arena.
