Meeting the team (KGSF/Ritoru/Toshio)

[Deleted]

(Damn take the weekend off and everything falls to hell lol)

After the initial journey, and of course the shock of all he had seen, the young boy did what any young boy would do at two in the afternoon after a busy morning. He passed out, laying on his back, his brown tail wrapped around his brown trousers, blending in perfectly. You would never have known he were a saiyan if you had not first laid eyes on him with his tail drawn. This was actually a strategy Nam had put in place on their journey. Rather than removing the tail, or for that matter letting it wave around in the open, he had explained to Ritoru the importance of concealing his tail, and made it more like a game. And the brown pants served to make the tail look like a belt.

And so the boy slept, sprawled out, arms and legs making like a star as he soaked in the vitamin D that was provided to him at such a high altitude. Even for a four year old with super strength, he was still very much a four year old, and needed these naps to make up for all of the exciting play.

But his nap would be cut short today, while the grown ups talked about boring things Ru would sleep, but when Gurin appeared something happened...A feeling Ru had never felt before...It was as if he could sense the presence of another being.
__________________________________________________

(During the Nap)

An explosion, nay two...three....the numbers became greater as the bright lights expounded the small farming community...and why?

The fighters doing this had tails, and frivolous long hair, their eyes a deep red, and their bodies an angry hue of death. Little else was available to him...except for the look of one boy, one that looked similar to Ritoru...The boy was crying, deep tears of true despair

But the boy grew, almost instantly he watched as the young boy grew into a teenager, his deep blond hair marking his identity, his physical stature proving great enough to take down many foes... and then...turning into a young adult, the tears replaced by the same deep hatred hue that the saiyans had manifested those many years ago.

_____________________________________________

The mixture of such a terrifying dream, and such an unusual feeling woke him up, and it was then that he saw him. Looking up and tilting his head slightly to be sure he was really looking at who he thought he was...It was the man from his dreams, the deep abs, and the bright blonde hair...it couldn't have been anyone else...And the hatred he had...it was there...and it was staring at Nam.

Ru just watched, his focus certainly not on Nam or the other KGSF members, but on that feeling...That aura...it was coming from Zach. All the others just looked like people, but zach came with a special aura, it was as if Ru could see it peeling off of him. It was strong, much stronger than Ritoru knew himself to be...and since he could not sense Nam, or the others, he could only assume it was stronger than them...

"I....uh..."

The other warriors suddenly turned for the lookout, leaving Zach, Nam, and the now very much awake Ritoru alone...

As Dynammo arrived he discussed Nam’s need for Jin mastery as well as training Maruca so she would be able to impart her discipline and teachings better into Toshiro Rei.

Suddenly a green namekian wearing purple and black garments appeared with a shirtless warrior. Dynammo decided not to use his scouter. In fact, he took it off his left ear and turned it into a Dyno Capsule; then placing it into a pocket in his utility belt which had his KGSF brand heavy bio weighted device installed in the belt which wasn’t turned on.

He then began to use his Guru Sensing ability ro feel the powers of the two warriors, starting off with the shirtless blond pure humanoid. As he sensed his spirit, he noticed something; it was clean and pure, he then looked deeper sensing his hidden power and was expressionless. (Aw ain’t that a shame, he’s has a great power and Nam is fighting him. But my true power is about three forths of his true power….now onto the great former kami}

Dynammo then felt the power of the former Kami, but when he felt Guerin, there were two powers there…one was weaker then the other but he wasn’t sure which one…

Suddenly Dynammo is interrupted by the words of Guerin who before made eye contact as he directed his speech at the Elite Class Mercenary,

"You are quite the rebel. I don't believe we have ever met, and yet your hate for me..."

Dynammo now with all three eyes watching and reading the Prime Minister of Earth, kept his focus on Guerin and what he felt.

(There were two powers in him, two spiritual pulses…but is the one that is Guerin stronger then the other to work on it’s own or is it forcing Tenshu to feed him power by draining his spiritual pulse. There are two of them in there because of Nam’s request to Tenshu to fuse with his other half…but which one is it, is he soloing it power wise or is he possessing Tenshu? And if he is possessing Tenshu, what technique would be able to break the possession and have Tenshu regain control over himself)

While reading Geurin, he sensed his energy rising. Now was the moment of truth, Hw would find out how much power Geurin was hiding by scanning the source within, a hidden power…but alas he only sensed his power to be a touch below his…but he did notice the spiritual that felt like light was a touch weaker then the spiritual pulse that felt full of wickedness. The prime minister’s power went up a little bit but it was at the current level of Dynammo using his suppression technique to sit at 50k

Dynammo then heard the words of the Prime Minister once more as he continued to speak.

"and yet your hate for me....is so...pungent..."

Dynammo noticed some more words coming out of Guerin. He then he saw Maruca Senda raise her right hand and near slap the taste out of the namek’s mouth. (Good grief, doesn’t she know how strong he is? Isn’t it a bit odd to have two spiritual presences in one body? Now this is insane, and instead of trying to have some sort of sit down, the woman near slaps him?! Good lord…) Dynammo gave Maruca Senda a ‘We’ll discuss this when this is over if we make it out alive’ Face.

He then heard Toshiro Rei’s speech to Guerin next,

“Have you not forgotten? The threats that endangered the planet, it was saved time and time again not by humans, but alien Earthlings that have grew up on this planet! Many aliens have migrated here peacefully, you can’t let some evil alien invaders speak to the rest of them! Everyone regardless of species, they have rights just like the rest of us! By going to war, those alien species will retaliate and it won’t be pretty, it will be an endless cycle. You are putting the people under your care in danger, can’t you see that?! Everyone is scared for their lives!

And you are hearing this from me, not from an alien nor a child, but a human adult.”

Dynammo clapped. ”Touching speech, and there is so much truth to it to…Guerin. And I don’t hate you, I dislike what your doing. I was a human until I got sick. Very sick, like dying of natural causes sick…until a researcher found an ensyne that could help me. It was DNA of a long lost race, discovered and a sample given to my dad to synth a mutagen to heal me.”

“I don’t know why you hate aliens, most of the heros have been non humans and they usually grow up here. So why change what has existed for years? Makes no sense? In the end EVERYONE is going to be against you and then what Guerin? Then what?”

He stood there, ready to attack, counter, grapple or defend but not looking like it; taking a relaxed stance of combat.

[Nam Reikonaga]

“Any idea…?” he asked.

Everyone was silent; Nam could sense the worry in their expressions –especially Maruca. It was reasonable. Nam had taken such a huge risk while none of them were prepared, but how else would he contact them? He uttered, preparing to speak once more, but out of the blue a streak of golden light descended onto the tiled floor and out of it came the figure of a tall man with long and dark hair. Nam’s gaze scrolled down to the robotic hand; an android perhaps? He assumed, unable to sense any energy emitting from the man.

Besides the hand, he looked like a normal man. He entered and spoke casually as if he were expected –but Nam didn’t know what this guy was doing all the way up here nor how he managed to find them. Dynammo? He instantly though, glancing at the triclops human. But his gaze was instantly stolen by the presence of yet another visitor; a visitor which shock terror in everyone’s heart as his dilated eyes jerked to meet the ominous surge of power that had so abruptly appeared before them. In all his life, he only knew of two people who were capable of such a move –Touketsuki Yakedo and Toshio Katsuo, but now there was a third and he was staring straight at them.

Nam furrowed his eyebrows. “He was coming either way…” he thought. It was just too convenient. Nam always felt like someone was watching him, he always felt like –somehow, Geurin knew exactly where he was and what he was doing no matter how much he suppressed his power. An answer didn’t occur to him, but somehow, he had been tracking him and for some reason he decided to come now…

Nam scoffed. He’s still calling this ‘his’ place? The Lookout belongs to Kami. A drop of sweat began to roll down his puckered face. He didn’t have time to explain to his group what this place was, nor why he chose it as their meeting grounds. Now they would hear it from the enemy and cause further inquiries about Nam’s decisions and question his leadership.

“This place is yours?” Maruca uttered and Zach promptly answered from behind Geurin. He had been staring at Nam all this time with that threatening gaze.

But why? He wondered. Why now? Was it because they were finally altogether? Did Geurin realize they were a potential threat and decide to take them all out with one swoop? Was this the reason why he had let Nam leave his office unharmed five years ago? All so he could exterminate them all collectively? He squint his eyes as Zach continued mock and question Nam’s actions, but he remained silent and on his toes.

Geurin bared his sharp and devilish teeth to form such an ominous grin. Nam looked at him, he looked at his eyes, and while he tried to see the old Tenshu he knew; all he saw was a monster in its place. No matter how he looked at it, this was a different person completely.

Suddenly, the namekian disappeared again and spoke from above the main building. Nam gasped. "Come now youngins,” Geurin taunted. “The ruler of your opposing faction is wide open. It would be of poor taste not to defeat me!"

Without another second to spare, the only woman in the area rushed up to the Prime Minister. “Maruca, don’t move!” Nam yelled, but it was too late. The bold amazonican woman stood her ground slapped the namekian across the face. Nam’s aura flared. He crouched to gain momentum and dashed in a streak of red light trailing behind him, his energy’s natural hue, and slipped his arms around her waist –promptly retreating back to safety.

“Don’t be so reckless…” he whispered, releasing Maruca from his grasp. She was quite bipolar, he thought. One moment she had been thinking about surrendering and the next she walks up to the man in question and slaps him across the face. He sighed.

Next, the shirtless man known as Toshiro stepped up and was backed by Dynammo as they began to interrogate Geurin’s motives. ”It’s futile…” he thought. Nam had already been through this, he knew the answer and there didn’t really have to be an answer. “Protecting the earth is just an excuse.” He spoke up, so everyone in his team could hear. He leered at the namekian. “What he truly wants is to rule the universe…”

He thought back to their meeting five years ago… Nam was enraged. One of the few moments when his teeth actually showed and he shouted. He kept lecturing the new Prime Minister and pointing out how outrageous his war was; an alien declaring war on aliens. He was no different than Touketsuki Yakedo. In fact, he was probably worst…

“You are right, I have declared war on all of the alien forces here, just like I did on my own planet Namek so many years ago. But Tenshu made me out to be a criminal, and so I was forcefully banished from my own birth place. A hint of irony if ever there was... But you see Nam, these humans think that wars are fought with numbers, they have not yet learned that it is the select few that win their freedom. It is fights like yours with Suki, or mine with Tenshu that define how history is played, and now with me at the helm, I can begin the annihilation of other worlds. The planet Earth will dominate over all those in their path, first of course will be Namek, and then Kold, just to take out the easy ones first. And then a fight with Vegeta…”

Nam cringed at the memory and could barely believe it had already been five years since then. Geurin didn’t care about the earth’s safety. Earth wasn’t improving. They were just becoming the antagonists. And as Toshiro stated, the endless cycle would continue. There will always be tension between races by people like Zach who have been scarred by the actions of a select few. This war would create more shirtless blond men across the universe and peace would never rise until either of them was exterminated.

[Geurin]

(Ew posting order. No thanks, considering 4 people have responded to me I think it is time to post lol. Plus I am thinking we will need to split into two threads relatively soon)

Geurin watched from a far as the Amazonic women moved to his location, her movements slow and lazy compared to the instant transmission Geurin had provided, and of course when she did finally arrive she had something to say about his chauvenistic ways.

Her next move would be interesting, and Geurin saw it coming from the very look in her eyes. Smiling, a ominous toothy smile, the Prime minister kept eye contact as Maruca's hand made contact with his face. At this point any normal man would grab his face, or block, or grab her wrist. But this was no normal situation, and if anything Maruca would feel exactly why what she had done was so futile...

Her hand would hurt

Not much, nothing was broken, or bleeding. But it stung, as if the slap had not harmed Geurin, but had in fact reversed the slap by the sheer magnitude of his power. It was as if the palm of her hand now had a slight sunburn. Geurin just smiled on, keeping the deadly eye contact and saying quietly to her.

"When a rock strikes the tide, does the water break?"

He asked her rhetorically as Nam came up from behind her, snatching her away from the situation. Given that they had all been far away when this happened, only Maruca would have heard his darkened words. Her interpretation of it, and its true meaning would only be revealed in the coming hours, as the rocks fought against the coming tide...

Then the young bruce chan...er...jackie lee....er...whatever the hell that one young mans name was, began spouting off about how evil his decisions were, and how aliens had saved the Earth thus far. Geurin was hardly paying attention, as his eyes had caught something else. While Toshiro and Dynammo screamed from across the field, a miraculous moment had just occured...Ritoru had finally seen Zach... Regardless of what they did next, Ritoru was theirs, he had no doubt in his mind. Everything from this point on was for his own amusement, and the moment would not be wasted.

As dynammo finished his self righteous retelling of bias events Geurin let out a yawn and looked over at a nearby tower.

"I am tired of waiting"

He said, raising his hand up to the tower, and with one swift beam of energy blew it off the side of the lookout entirely. The bright green energy leaving the palm of his hands, and striking the marble with such force, that the rubble would immediately fly out, and off the lookout.

The Lookout had been fully repaired, and by the looks of it, Geurin was going to topple it once more.

"If you are done rambling on about how you are good and I am bad, I would love to get down to business....Zach, why not show Nam a good time while the rest of them come play with me, Unless Nam would rather I just skip the middle man, and take them all on myself"

Geurins voice had dropped at the end of that statement...

Unless Nam would rather I just skip the middle man, and take them all on myself.......


Nam knew it, as well as Geurin. With all of their combined forces, they might...possibly...be an equal match for the prime minister, but even that seemed slightly far fetched. The Super Namek was about to fight someone, and if Nam was not careful, the fight would end in a fairly sadistic manner.

[Deleted]

Dynammo was still looking at Guerin, sensing two presences within him but one was dominant and darkness consumed him while the other presence was comatose as well as being more of a holy presence.

Suddenly as Guerin quickly discharged a blast, a massive increase in Ki was felt by the Elite Class Mercenary, his mastery of feeling power which was that of a Guru who can read as well as feel emotions as well as power but it was now on a wider scale, his heart filled with a lust for battle as well as a touch of fear...but suddenly he sensed a presence that felt...familiar. It was nearby, filling him with steadfast confidence.

While staring at the prime minister, his black hair turned white as he summoned the power of his Bio-Resonance. He thought he woulden't need it but now it was anything goes, as he looked like his base form;a brown and bald triclops in saiyan armor.

This time he looked different, he had fangs as big as Guerin's and red pupils in his eyes. His Battle Fighting Power was cruising at 300,000. His muscles began to bulge and he began to increase in size. Soon his build was that of Ascended Ultimate Super Saiyan Trunks when he fought perfect cell after vegeta was knocked out, Dynammo's aura now having a strong Jade tint about his body.

He then crossed his arms on his chest and focused energy into his hands, making them into ki claws. He then shot forward and swiped his left ki claw forward towards Guerin discharging 5 cutting beams which ripped through the air towards him. Soon his image faded and he kept moving nonstop. Soon Guerin would dodge, counter or block his attack and once he does, he would then appear below him from behind and with his right ki claw slash upward towards his back and discharge the five cutting beams at point blank from behind in an attempt to weaken the great Namekian Prime Minister.

[Deleted]

Maruca grit her teeth and shook her hand hard. The slap she had thrown at Geurin's face had somehow bounced off and felt like hitting a brick wall, no thanks to his massive ki probably. She felt Nam's hand grab her wrist and pull her back from the Namekian as though to protect her. She needed no protection from him, and so what if she was a seemingly emotional at one point compared to another. This man before her was just plain awful, especially when she heard the words, "When a rock strikes the tide, does the water break?" come from his mouth.

Him, using philosophy? At a time like this? The man had to be insane. Her point was proven when she watched him charge up a green beam of energy and fired it upon the look out. Marble tiles flew in every which direction as though he meant to bring entire thing toppling down, but was really only aiming for half of it appeared. Maruca knew that as long as she was next to Nam, for the moment she would be safe since he could probably counteract the energy to an extent with his own and erect some kind of barrier.

She was not a about to take chances though and so she slipped her wrist out of his hand and cried, "Shields up!" before putting both her hands in front of her to erect three barriers around herself and those in the immediate vicinity. One was Heiwa's Seraph Shield, the other was a normal Barrier and the third was her Solar Absorption technique. This should have been able to absorb great amounts of the incoming ki attack, but Maruca was unsure as she felt her legs buckle a bit under the green blast. The people protected by it included: Nam and Toshiro, but did not include Dynammo, Ritoru or Christopher. For one, she did not fully know that Christopher was on the lookout, Ritoru was in a chamber on the far side of the lookout still possibly sleeping, and she did not know of him either, and finally Dynammo was outside of her barrier's range.

He was intending to charge in foolishly like she had before it looked like and watched as his teeth turned into fangs, his pupils became red in color, and muscles bulged beyond a capacity she thought possible. He was definitely outputting more power than her own tiny body could ever produce. His aura had changed to a jade color and he seemed to have crossed his hands across his chest. Was he countering attacking or just simply blocking? It looked like the first choice as he seemed to absorb part of the blow from Geurin's attack before proceeding to fire off five waves of ki in the green man's direction. Talk about alien cliches... Dynammo then proceeded to move quickly not stopping in order to let himself get hit by attacks. The problem was that Geurin could probably follow his movement if he had managed to fire the type of beam Maruca still was blocking. It was hard to see what Geurin and he were up to exactly, but Maruca figured Dynammo's next technique would hopefully have some success, much more than her own.

[Gray Callahan]

(Hey Dynammo. Stop metaging knowledge thank you)

[Zach]

In a way the fact that noone responded to Zach's comment about the gardens being his or even his presence there was fortunate. It allowed something to happen that had been a long time coming and without major distraction. While Nam and his pions wasted time maeuvering both physically and philisophically, Zach remained stationary for the moment. As Nam moved to intercept the impulsive young woman, the small blonde boy they'd come for was left out in the open and in spite of Gurin's suggestion that he engage Nam, Zach was much more interested in something else. At first Zach did absolutely nothing, not even tracking Nam's movements. It had taken him a moment to do it but Zach was instead focusing on that buzzing in his head that had been with him for some time, almost since the reconstruction of the school. It was louder then ever but the teen had been blocking it for so long he'd not noticed until the other blonde was in view that the buzzing had some direnctionality to it. It was to say the least somewhat shocking to Zach but this could only mean one thing, he was actually sensing an energy signature other then his own.

Zach's eyes traced across the tiled floor to where the boy was stnading and then a moment later he was in motion. While the other's maneuvered above and Gurin blasted a pillar off of one of sides of the lookout, presumably to hold their attention, Zach walked casually towards the young man, no trace of his megendary temper, only curiocity as he approached. Provided he managed to cross the distance unmolested by Nam or any of his cohorts, Zach intended to stop in front of the boy and squat down to bring himself as close to eye level with the young man as he could, all the while reopening his mind to the buzzing he'd spent so long blocking out. "Hello there. What's your name?" Zach asked with a genuine smile. He had every reason to be happy after all, this was the first person he'd ever met who's energy signature was readable to him.

[Deleted]

He was walking over, the two had not only made eye contact, but could feel each others very essence, their energy. Ritoru saw the flashes from his dream as the young man casually made his way over. In his dream he had been made out to be angry and bitter, but the only image that came to Ritoru's mind was that of the crying blond boy as his home was destroyed. Everyone he knew had perished in the attack, including all of his friends, his family, and any hope he had of living a normal life. While Ru's past was not nearly that tragic, he felt that same feeling...that alone feeling...

As the man got closer, the puzzled look on Ritoru's face went unchanged. He wasnt sure what he was supposed to do. His head whipped to the right as a building began to explode, but Ru was not sure who had done it or why, and then Mickey had run off. It was all happening so fast, and before Ru could think of what he should do, the blond man had knelt down next to him.

[glow=red,2,300]"Hello there. whats your name?"[/glow]

That did it, this man was not angry and bitter like the dream said, just kind, and worse yet, he had suffered so greatly.

"I'm sorry!"

He said, his eyes welling up instantly. It only took a second, and Ritoru had thrown himself into a hug on the man he had only just met. Zach's tale was the saddest he had ever heard, and for a four year old, such drama was to much to handle. He hugged the man tightly around the neck, their shirtless and rather toned bodies making an interesting site for any that saw it. And anyone who had not already seen them together would now see for the first time a true comparison of the two. The same bright blond hair, the same body texture, skin color, and facial structure.

Perhaps Zach was to dense to understand the situation, and certainly Ritoru was to young to make any connection. But the evidence was there for anyone who took even a moment to analyze the situation.

(Posting Order should consist of two different things. Ritoru and Zach, and Geurin with everyone else. Waiting for everyone to post would be a waste of time.)

[Raki Zakros]

OOC: I highly suggest we branch off on separate threads, (One for Geurin and those fighting him, and one for Zach/Nam/Ritoru) seeing as they are sort of at different locations anyway, this is starting to get confusing (and will be for the one grading anyway) with it going back and forth yet still trying to create a sense of post order, lol.

+++++++

“Damn it, he’s not listening, well it was worth a shot…” Well it looked like Geurin was decided on what he was doing, if words could not convince him then they only had one choice, they had to stop him right here and now. He didn’t like the prospects, he was nowhere near prepared for a battle in this magnitude, not to mention he had a lot of training he wanted to finish up too, dying here right now would really suck.

“Tch,” He crossed his arms in front of his as the tiles from the lookout began flying in all directions for the Namek’s ki beam, it was a warning shot yet it was so destructive, this guy was a powerhouse monster no doubt. He then realised he was protected from some sort of barrier, then noticed it was Maruca who set it up, no wonder it didn’t hurt. “Thanks!” he called to her, well it was reassuring to have the people around him, his confidence would not waver.

With the truth right in the face, Toshiro knew he was not going to be strong enough to do any damage, so he figured he’d serve his role best as a support kind of person, one who would sent up a combo for the others to finish off on. “White Tiger's Stance…” He muttered as he got into his traditional fighting stance as he slid his feet apart, light green ki then glowed and flowed out of his figure as he tapped into his inner powers. He now almost matched the base powers of his allies around him, though this was his maximum power output. With his hands clawed, he was ready.

He looked in awe at Dynammo’s transformation and immense power, he was glad he got to see it without forcing it out of him, now he knew how much he had to do to catch up to his senpai’s power. With him taking action with what seemed to be an imitation of his Ki Claws, Toshiro wondered if he also knew its main weakness, it wasn’t really that accurate. “He’s got both of his hands charged, I’ve got to getting the first slash to hit, the next will come easily after…” He noted attentively, he then took a step back and palmed his hands, pulling his arms back a little as the outline of his hands brightened up.

“White Tiger Style: Double Force Palm!” He commanded, pushing his hands forward to release a shockwave blast of wind, having an effect of slamming into an invisible brick wall. Despite the big difference of power, this was intended to Geurin to deal with it by whatever means, it didn’t matter. Even if it’ll distract their foe for a split second, it would be an ideal setup for Dynammo’s attacks.

[Zach]

{For all of those involved in this topic. It should have been said before and don't know why it wasn't but this is a potentially lethal battle. You are not to start new topics while this battle is in progress until after it is concluded or it is certain that your character will survive.}

[Deleted]

The green beam that Geurin had fired at them was quite bright, but Maruca managed to use a ton of her energy to stop it from causing too much damage to her comrades by setting up three shields against it. As the energy dissipated she panted and nodded to Toshiro who had shouted his thanks at her. It was not such a bad thing to be hit by that kind of force once or twice, but she knew if Geurin fired off more beams like that and she had to protect the entire group it would wear her down.

Dynammo was still trying to take on Geurin solo she noted as she turned and watched Toshiro crouch down and spread his legs apart. He seemed to mutter something under his breath before she could see green ki floating around his hands. He made a cup with his two palms as he pulled back his hands and bright green light erupted from them. Maruca knew he was going to fire off an attack and watched him as he shouted, "White Tiger Style: Double Force Palm!" A blast of powerful wind headed towards Geurin, but she knew it would not even be enough to distract him. She needed to provide a distraction of something more substantial.

For a few moments she stood still as a board letting some flower seeds grow out of the wrist of her left hand. She caught the seeds within her fingertips and launched them up into the air towards Geurin following Toshiro's attack. If they hit Geurin or any other physical object, vines would erupt from the seed pods and cover the object or person they hit. It was dangerous to use, since Dynammo was in the way, but Toshiro had fired off his own attack without warning him, so she figured it would be okay.

[Nam Reikonaga]

Nam clenched his teeth upon the sight of Geurin destroying Kami’s Lookout for no apparent reason. Tired of what? He though. Maruca promptly formed various barriers around them to protect against fallen debris and any potential attacks. Nam’s eyes were fixated on the green namekian until he realized what they had come for. His eyes widened. Following Geurin’s gaze, it led to the child he had met on Yunzabit Heights. Ritoru, and Zach was walking straight to him. His heart began to race.

Is that why they came, for the boy? He closed his hands tightly into fists. He couldn’t let them use Ritoru as a weapon for war. Suddenly, Dynammo foolishly rushed towards Geurin and Toshiro launched an attack of his own. Everything was moving too fast, both sides required his attention and he didn’t know how to react. As a leader, he needed to protect his team –which wasn’t ready for this kind of battle. But he knew that Geurin was just distracting them from Zach while he went over to the child.

“Maruca, transform.” He said, leaving her and hastily walking behind Zach without being noticed. What would he do? Would he take Ritoru away? Shove Zach back and make him leave? Get in-between them? He didn’t know, but he had to do something. He peered behind Ritoru to make sure his tail was still tied and camouflaged in his trousers. He sighed. The Lookout was so quiet a moment ago and now it was ringing and buzzing with energy attacks and struggles. In just moments, Kami’s Lookout had become a battlefield between opposing forces.

He stopped and gasped as the young Ritoru, standing about two feet tall, ran into Zach with tears running down his eyes. “I’m sorry!” he cried. Nam was instantly struck with curiosity and awe. The juxtaposition between them was incredible. It was then that Nam realized Ritoru looked A LOT more like Zach than he had initially thought from the beginning. The bare chest, toned muscles, royal blond hair… Nam wrenched the thought away. Zach was gay, he thought, –or bisexual? It just didn’t seem likely that he, out of all people, would have a son –much less a saiyan son…

And the irony, that out of all the billions of people living on this planet, Nam was the one to find the child. Why was he in the wilderness though? He was alone. Certainly, Zach wouldn’t have abandoned him –and if he did, then why come for him now…?

Nam lowered his face into his palm, realizing he had started to entertain such an outcome. He wrenched the thought away once more, and walked closer to the pair. He was still unsure of what to say or how to react. Zach wouldn’t harm the boy, he didn’t worry Nam –it was Geurin. He stood there, just a few feet behind the shirtless man who he still dared to call friend. But he didn’t do anything; he just stood and watched from behind.

[Zach]

Bewilderment was perhaps the best word to describe the look on Zach's face. He'd stuped down in front of the young bow they had come to liberate and Zach had greeted him amicably. In spite of this however the boy seemed to break down out of nowhere and latch onto Zach's neck, sobbing. Sure one of the lookout's spires had been blown away with a flashy explosion but surely that hadn't been enough to upset the kid, normally they found things like that entertaining. No, something else had opened the boys water works and since Zach had no idea just what the boy was capable of and thus what he had seen, he was left clueless as the child clung to him.

"Errr.. It's ok." he started, unsure of exactly how to proceed. "Don't worry, you're safe with me. No one is going to hurt you." the blonde added, attempting to comfort the other blonde, his best guess being that all of the raised voices and the start of the fight might be upsetting the youngster. Lowering one arm to support the kid's bottom and wrapping the other around his back, Zach stood up, lifting Ritoru off the ground and carrying him against his chest towards the opposite end of the lookout. "It's ok kid, you'll be fine." he continued as he walked, doing his best to ignore the theatrics above and for the moment, unaware that Nam was approaching him from behind. "Why don't you tell me your name so I don't have to keep calling you kid." Zach might have known the kid's name had he paid closer attention to the note that had come along with him. But that was over four years ago and he'd only read it once. The memory was simply too distant and faded for him to recall the specifics and by now the letter was probably long gone, lost in the orphanage archive or thrown away.

Maruca was trying to keep a focus on the fight ahead of her and make sure that her seed pods landed where she wanted them too. Yet Nam made a comment that distracted her and she turned her head slightly to look at him. For a while, he too had been focused on Geurin, but had not done much yet. Now though he seemed distracted as well, but for a different reason than her own. She heard him state, “Maruca, transform.” before he walked off and decided to consider what she could do.

It looked like Dynammo and Toshiro had transformed already as she could see the power rising off of them, which she knew was not their normal strength. She decided it was time for her to transform and gathered all of the ki into the center of her body before releasing it in a big burst of pink energy all around her, increasing her normal power drastically. She could feel, as she changed, soft, pink rose petals erupt from the back of her neck and watched as green leaves grew out from all parts of her body and covered her in a body suit of fine green vegetation. It only took a few moments for her to complete since she had used it multiple times in the past and was one of her natural, basic transformations. She smirked as she stepped forward and slowly lifted up into the air.

The seed pods she had thrown in the air, amazingly were still headed towards Geurin at a rather slow seeming pace. Perhaps, Geurin was outputting so much energy they could be interfering with her technique. She remembered her slap having back fired on her, which slightly hurt her hand, so she hoped that at her current power level of 172,860 she could do some kind of damage against him, even if it were minimal. She did not want to die before her time again, but right now looked like the Namekian before them was not going to give any of them time to surrender.
