Ambitions of Evil(Zarenia)

[Deleted]

Cargo was floating above the Emerald Ocean in deep thought.

" Hmph, I can't believe how much weaker I am than the other warrior namekians. Hell, Even the Elder Carnel is more powerful than me. How can I become ,one of the great namekians if I can't even protect anyone. I'm useless, weak, unworhty, I'm simply an unnecessary life walking on Namek. I need more power! I want more power! I will get more power, and get it by any means necessary."

"Basna, my brother. You have a power I can only dream of reaching. You are the master of the warrior caste yet you leave us to train with other people. What kind of master would leave his planet defenseless? We have no one to stand up to the might of any outside threat. I can stand and fight, but for what purpose? To evacuate the planet? To die in vain? What? I must attain more. I need to search for something different than Elder Carnel. There just has to be another way than through him. I will find it."[/i][/color]

Cargo's heart was beginning to turn black as his hunger for power and his hunger to become the strongest was taking over. Yet and still he sat, floating above the shinning green ocean. Thinking of the dark path he must travel in order to attain what he desired most... POWER.

[Kirei]

After making her escape of the strange looking aliens, Zarenia finds herself above a vast ocean. She was lost and confused as to exactly where she was. She had no idea of this planet nor its inhabitants. As she continued to fly forward over the ocean, Zarenia finds another alien. His appearance differed from those she ran from earlier. She could easily sense that he had power well above her own, but she decided to speak to him anyway.

"Hey you! I need to know where am I and what are you? I have had a rough start on this planet and I plan on making everything easier. I have no time for playing or trivial questions. Let's get this conversation over fast. Tell me what I want to know and I'll be on my way."[/color]

Upon landing on this planet Zarenia was going to try her hardest to start anew and fight the evil in her heart, but after the treatment she recieved she no longer cared. Now she was in a new conflict with a different foe. One can only hope that he can't see the power she really holds or the tough talk may come back to bite her.

[Deleted]

Cargo was still deep in his thought when he was rudely interrupted by a female voice.

"Hey you! I need to know where am I and what are you? I have had a rough start on this planet and I plan on making everything easier. I have no time for playing or trivial questions. Let's get this conversation over fast. Tell me what I want to know and I'll be on my way."

Cargo simply laughed at the female. It was funny how she spoke as if she was the most powerful being on the planet. It was something Cargo would make her realize and she would come to this realization quickly.

"First off, learn to be respectful of beings more powerful than you. I could kill you where you stand, but I won't. It would be meaningless. You are on planet Namek, home of the namekian race. I am Cargo, the supposed apprentice of the Elder Carnel. Now if that is all you need to know then I advise you to leave before you piss me off. I have power to attain so please."[/color] Cargo stops and thinks for a quick second. He wondered how far he would get with trying to intimidate her. Cargo used his Zanzoken to get in closer and grabs her by the throat clinching it tightly. "Hmm, it is possible that you could be of use to me, but you are weak. We will need to work on that now won't we. I propose that we work together to achieve whatever goals we have. I don't expect you to call me master. We are equals in this..... alliance. Now except my proposal or don't, but I advise you to wisely think about your answer as one could have serious consequences."[/color]

Cargo folds his arms and closes his eyes with a sinister grin across his face. The darkness was taking over faster than one would think. Now he awaited her answer wondering how she would respond after being disrespected.

[Kirei]

Zarenia was going out on a limb trying to assert her self like she was. There was no telling what this alien is capable of. The alien began to laugh at Zarenia as if she had cracked a joke or something. Surely this creature didn't have the ability to sense power. He seemed to be a regular alien warrior.

"First off, learn to be respectful of beings more powerful than you. I could kill you where you stand, but I won't. It would be meaningless. You are on planet Namek, home of the namekian race. I am Cargo, the supposed apprentice of the Elder Carnel. Now if that is all you need to know then I advise you to leave before you piss me off. I have power to attain so please."

Zarenia couldn't believe the way she was being treated. She was a freaking princess on her home planet, but then again this isn't her home planet. It was obvious that he knew she didn't have the power to pose a threat, but if she transformed she could easily make him pay. Zarenia flew forward preparing to start over, but Cargo quickly grabbed her by her throat and began to squeeze.

"Hmm, it is possible that you could be of use to me, but you are weak. We will need to work on that now won't we. I propose that we work together to achieve whatever goals we have. I don't expect you to call me master. We are equals in this..... alliance. Now except my proposal or don't, but I advise you to wisely think about your answer as one could have serious consequences."

Cargo released his grip and folded his arms with a sinister grin. He was extending an offer for them to team up, to be partners, to be equals, and to be the ultimate duo. How could she say no? Especially after being choke the hell out of.

"After your "generous" offer, how could I deny you. You want power and I want to be able to sit high like I once did. I think this will work out for the both of us. Seeing as how you are already quite ahead of me in power, I don't think you would mind sparring and causing destruction for the people of this planet. With our power combined, I doubt anyone on this planet can stand up to us. Not even the one you are said to serve."[/color]

Zarenia looks behind her to see four of her pursuers not far from her and Cargo. She had thought she escaped them, but now that she had help she could kill them without hesitation.

"These are the men that chased me upon arrival. All because I landed on some hut filled with four people or so. Now that I have you on my side. Let us destroy them. What do you say?"[/color]

Zarenia faces the four that are closing in and powers up to her max power output. She planned on playing no games as these idiotic buffoons came for her. The look on their face when they would see a powerful warrior on her side.

[Virion]

"You will not escape" Said the first warrior, descending for the air to land only a short distance from the two, his slitted eyes and desaturated skin marking his infected form. He looked towards cargo, noting him as warrior clan, gauging the relative strength and comparing it both his own and his incoming brothers.
Speaking in native namekian, he addressed Cargo;
"The guru has done much to ensure peaceful co-existence, and we have upheld our bargain with him not to move far from our village in Esca, in the interests of avoiding undue conflict. Do not harbour that alien, once-brother, she is payment for the life she has laid to waste, crushed in her careless, or perhaps purposely malicious, landing."

More warriors landed. Esca village had many warriors infact, and some may even have known Cargo, for they had originally resided within the warriors village, a town-encampment nearby to the ancient city, dedicated entirely to the warrior clansmen training, though the camp had been abandoned since five years ago, coinciding somewhat with the demon clan's attack.

Continuing to speak in tongues Zarenia wouldn't be able to understand, the infected continued, though this time it was a second warrior;
"The guru stands behind us even as he stands behind you, once-brother, but if push comes to shove, we will use the powers of the virion to overwhelm you, take you too as part of our exchange. It is only fair, one given for one taken"

They knew well of the fear or taboo around their condition, the fear of the unknown which would drive many to reject what they were, avoid it. They were using this to try and draw him away, intimidate him perhaps into leaving without a fight.

The girl had only killed one, the others surviving, though injured. If she was handed over they would consider it a fair exchange, and only ambush the namekian if he was foolish enough to continue on into the esca region, (the tract of land which had seen decimation at the demon clan's hands. There had been no survivors in the villiages that were destroyed, so the infected had taken up in this area to rebuild and expand their town, their only neighbours the ruins of the surrounding towns and thus remaining isolated, avoiding any frictions which would otherwise arrive.)


The transmuted namekian had also used that name again, 'once-brother', the name these infected gave to the uninitiated, in the very rare instances when someone was foolhardy enough to go against the guru's commands and venture towards the old Esca village. Cargo himself had encountered the infected before, in the form of Xero, their duel had been intense, and although Cargo was an accomplished warrior the alien had shown surprising tenacity and an unusual well of strength beyond that he would otherwise have claimed.

He had also been one of the warriors to bear witness to Virion's defeat of the demon clan, the effortlessness destruction of such an overwhelming force. Each of these warriors now standing before him boasted a connection to this being, and sharing in the network of strength. They would be more than a match for Zarenia and Cargo, with their bio-resonance.

Another spoke up.
"Despite what you may think, we are not so different to what we always were. She will not be treated unjustly, but she must repay her debt... Cargo." The man looked pointedly at the other namekian, for it was a warrior Cargo had known in the past, one no doubt assumed(like lots of the warriors who went missing on that day) to have died in the demon attack, but who had actually been living peacefully among the infected.


((I don't know if you want to give this namekian who seems to know you a name, if you have any npc's you've mentioned in the past who you want to make this guy be, but the opportunity is open. Otherwise, he's just a random you happened to train with or something, he remembers you though that doesn't mean you have to have remembered him.

Anyway, Infected are not free kills, you want some npc mooks you're gonna have to look elsewhere, cause these ones are going to properly fight back with me as their GM ))

[Deleted]

Cargo remains silent waiting on the females reply. "What am I doing? I can't be rude to people? This person had come to me for guidance and she's obviously corrupt. I should be placing a boot to her face. Why am I offering a partnership. Surely I can get the power I crave by staying on the right path... can't I? I need to fix this before i-....."[/color] A whisper comes to Cargo's ear that he doesn't hear but his mind computes. Cargo shakes his head and looks at the female.

"After your "generous" offer, how could I deny you. You want power and I want to be able to sit high like I once did. I think this will work out for the both of us. Seeing as how you are already quite ahead of me in power, I don't think you would mind sparring and causing destruction for the people of this planet. With our power combined, I doubt anyone on this planet can stand up to us. Not even the one you are said to serve."[/color]

Cargo senses some people moving towards he and this female warrior. The feeling that he gets is all to familiar as he has felt this before. No doubt the female warrior knew that they were coming as she turns around with a stern look. "These are the men that chased me upon arrival. All because I landed on some hut filled with four people or so. Now that I have you on my side. Let us destroy them. What do you say?"[/color]

"Destruction? Hmm, destruction is not something I would normally welcome no matter what the circumstances were. However, I will disregard my code of honor this once in a show of trust and as proof that we are in this together. Now, let's not hurt them to bad."[/color]

"You will not escape!"[/color] Cargo looks above him to find another warrior descending to an equal level of the two warrior. The infected namekian looks at Cargo and speaks to him in their native tongue. "The guru has done much to ensure peaceful co-existence, and we have upheld our bargain with him not to move far from our village in Esca, in the interests of avoiding undue conflict. Do not harbour that alien, once-brother, she is payment for the life she has laid to waste, crushed in her careless, or perhaps purposely malicious, landing."[/color][/i]

More warriors who weren't far off in the first place began to arrive. Cargo could feel the power that they shared and he wanted it. He wanted it more than anything in the world and he'd kill them or anyone else to get. Yet, he simply stared and allowed them to speak. A second Namekian flew a bit forward to speak. "The guru stands behind us even as he stands behind you, once-brother, but if push comes to shove, we will use the powers of the virion to overwhelm you, take you too as part of our exchange. It is only fair, one given for one taken"[/color][/i]

One given for one taken, the words rung in his head as his memory flowed back five years to a battle he had with an infected named Xero. Xero was a weakling at the start of the battle, but something came over him and caused his power to more than quadruple. It was a sight never seen by Cargo's eyes. That couldn't be the power of Virion... then again he did defeat the demon clan with incredible ease. "Damn it." Cargo thought as he slowly began to rise his pl to fifty percent. He wanted to be ready because there was no way he was handing her over. She was his partner after all.

Another infected then spoke. "Despite what you may think, we are not so different to what we always were. She will not be treated unjustly, but she must repay her debt... Cargo."[/i][/color] This infected stared deep into the eyes of Cargo. He knew Cargo and that much was obvious. Otherwise he wouldn't have know his name. Cargo looks at this infected and tries to look pass the appearance change. After a few seconds Cargo's eyes closed as he knew who this infected was. It was a young namekian warrior he once knew named Dahu.

"Dahu... How did this happen? When did this happen? Who did this to you? I... I can't believe this. Oh what has happened to your village and it's people? What happened to you during the demon clan attack? You know what, don't even answer that. It's obvious you are no longer the Dahu I once respected." Cargo stares into the ocean under them before looking back at his infected kin. "You want this female?"[/color] Cargo looks at the female and gives her a sly look that only she would be able to catch. He was basically telling her to follow his lead. "You can have her. I care not of what problem you have with her anyway."[/color] Cargo grabs the female by the arm and pushes her toward the infected.

"NOW!"[/color] Cargo uses his zanzoken and leaves an after image only to appear behind two of the infected with a double elbow to the back of the head. It would now fall on Zarenia to take care of the Dahu or try and finish off where Cargo started.

[Kirei]

"Destruction? Hmm, destruction is not something I would normally welcome no matter what the circumstances were. However, I will disregard my code of honor this once in a show of trust and as proof that we are in this together. Now, let's not hurt them to bad."

Zarenia smiles as her pursuers are now at their destination. "You will not escape."[/i] The warrior was now staring at the two, but he focused more on Cargo. He begin to speak in some crazy language. Zarenia could not understand anything that he was saying. She would have to get Cargo to teach her his native tongue. It just didn't feel right to be left out of the conversation. It could something of dire importance and she would have not a clue. Zarenia would just ignore them all until they spoke a more universal language.

"Dahu... How did this happen? When did this happen? Who did this to you? I... I can't believe this. Oh what has happened to your village and it's people? What happened to you during the demon clan attack? You know what, don't even answer that. It's obvious you are no longer the Dahu I once respected." Cargo stares deep into the eyes of the strange namekians. "You want this female? You can have her. I care not of what problem you have with her anyway." Cargo grabs Zarenia arm and forcefully pushes her towards her pursuers.

"What the Hell Cargo? You would betray me so quickly?"[/color] Cargo looked at Zarenia and nodded with a slight grin. That is when Zarenia knew that this was nothing more than a ruse to gain the upper hand on the strange looking namekians. Zarenia was prepared for whatever move Cargo was about to make. She was itching to see what kind of fighting ability Cargo truly possessed. After all he was the most powerful being she ever came in contact with.

Zarenia watches Cargo closely as he uses his zanzoken leaving an after image. It was so smooth that Zarenia even lost track of Cargo. "NOW!" Cargo would reappear behind the strange namekians after giving Zarenia her cue to break free. Zarenia snatches away and watches Cargo try to deliver what seemed like a double elbow to the back of their heads. If he landed those blows, Zarenia would ignore this Dahu whom Cargo seems to know and simply perform a spinning split like kick down on both of the strange namekians neck.

Zarenia didn't know what words were exchanged between them, but she sure as hell was liking Cargo's response.

[Virion]

"Dahu... How did this happen? When did this happen? Who did this to you? I... I can't believe this. Oh what has happened to your village and it's people? What happened to you during the demon clan attack? You know what, don't even answer that. It's obvious you are no longer the Dahu I once respected."

Dahu looked pointedly at the warrior, but before he spoke out Cargo had continued
"You want this female? You can have her. I care not of what problem you have with her anyway."
It seemed the warrior had become somewhat callous, but Dahu wasn't about to argue.
Two of his companions stepped for as the brenchian began to protest, but in that moment Cargo struck.

The two namekians were hit by Cargo's sneak attack, but as Zarenia moved to capitalis upon this strike, Dahu had moved in a flash. Even as her leg came up for a kick, Dahu's was knocking her supporting leg out from under her.

The unbalance this caused would allow the other two to recover enough to dodge, the kick which would have hit their necks instead missing one by inches and the other altogether.

"I see, so that's how it is" Called Dahu, while the other warriors circled in. Their powers were beginning to flow, and now all had readied them self for combat. Like flares a few allowed their aura's to surge forward, while others like Dahu simply stood ready.

"Look at her Cargo, she shows no remorse for what she's done. Not so long ago, you would have been the one standing by my side, brining this killer to face justice. Yet now you'd sooner turn on us."

Taking his jacket from his shoulders, the namekian dropped it to the floor and adjusting a wrist strap. He had walked over so that now he and Cargo stood directly before each other, a few of his fellows moving aside.

"You speak harsh words for something you know nothing about, but I will show you soon enough. No doubt you've trained hard since our last encounter. I on the other hand have not..." his fists clenched and he braced down for combat. Despite his admissions of slacking he still managed to rival Cargo's strength.
"lets see what you've got"

He leaped up into the air, a blast launching from his hand in the process. He'd utilise this distraction to appear behind his opponent and strike with a downward vollyball spike. He wasn't using his bio- resonance yet, and the others followed suit. When the time comes they could use that trick, but for now he was testing the waters, seeing whether Cargo would rise to the challenge that protecting this alien would prove to be, or whether he would surrender her to their judgement.

At the same time as Dahu's attack, two other infected, the two who had been elbowed before. One lashed their palm forward, a blast designed to force Zarenia to dodge to the side, where upon the second namek would be set to intercept, a lightning fast birrage of punches ready to keep her off balance. The first would then come in again, two flying kicks in one smooth motion, followed by a mouth beam which they felt should be more then enough to catch their quarry.

Individually these others may have been weaker then Zarenia, but as a group they would match her blow for blow, and that's without even using their transformations.

[Kirei]

Zarenia's attempt at her beautiful spinning split kick was easily stopped by the namekian warrior Cargo called Dahu. He swooped in and kicked her supporting leg out from under her causing her to lose balance and descend out of the sky. Quickly regaining balance, she shot straight up into the air like a dart back on level flight with the rest of the warriors. The warrior's circled in around them preparing for an obvious battle. The warrior Dahu was speaking to Cargo while removing his jacket from his shoulder's. It seemed that Dahu would want Cargo to himself and force the others upon Zarenia.

Zarenia gasps as Dahu uses his speed to launch his attack on Cargo and as soon as she looked at the others, a blasts was heading straight for her. Thinking on her toes she flies to the right to dodge the blast. She had the intention of charging her attacker, but another warrior bombarded her with lighting fast punches in rapid succession. She placed up her guard as the punches came crashing in. They didn't have much power behind them, but they forced her back still. Suddenly, the first attacker comes flying over the second with what looked like a kick. Without anytime to dodge, Zarenia was caught with both kicks to her face which caused her to skid through the air created distance between her and her partner Cargo. The kicks were quickly followed by a mouth beam of decent strength.

No doubt she was being overwhelmed by the two warriors but she was a fighter. "Cargo, she screamed as the mouth beam came for her." She didn't know if he would be able to help her as he would have his hands full with Dahu, so she quickly descended under the mouth beam. The mouth beam flew over her grazing her arms and causing a burning sensation to come over them.

"You two are really starting to piss me off? I come to a new planet with the intent of changing my heart and this is the treatment I get? Screw it! I am going to hurt you two so badly your entire village will feel it!"

Zarenia raises her right hand and fires her Super Beautiful Arrow. A shining light of pink and yellow came from her hand and a slew of blasts came flying out of her hand. This however was not an all out open attack. This was a diversion as she would fly beneath the slew of blasts she fired rising up underneath them.

When she would come up from underneath them she would try and land a massive uppercut to the second attack with her power and the force of her upwards flight behind it. She was hoping this would send him into the air to buy her enough time to go after the first attacker. After attempting the uppercut she would fly in with a high knee to the first attacker chest followed by a right open palm strike.

The jury summons were sent and there was no way for the two to escape the whipping Zarenia was planning to hand out.

(Virion, Super Beautiful Arrow is nothing more than a slew of large powered up ki blasts for the record. That way you won't think I'm launching a crap load of Galic Guns or something )

[Deleted]

Dahu swooped in and swept Zarenia's leg from under her and she starts to descend quickly until regaining her balance. It was obvious that Dahu's skill was majorly improved due to the power he gained from the sync of him and the nameless warrior. Dahu would prove to be a worthy opponent and due to the fact that he was two warriors instead of one, it would make defeating him a very hard thing to do.

"I see, so that's how it is." Dahu and the other warriors circled in on the duo. It was apparent that Cargo would have to do battle with Dahu. He snatched of his jacket and was ready for a fight.

"Look at her Cargo, she shows no remorse for what she's done. Not so long ago, you would have been the one standing by my side, brining this killer to face justice. Yet now you'd sooner turn on us. You speak harsh words for something you know nothing about, but I will show you soon enough. No doubt you've trained hard since our last encounter. I on the other hand have not..." lets see what you've got."

"Let's see what I've got? Fine, I'll do the same and see what skill you possess as well. This is going to be fun. We haven't fought in a while. Too bad I have to win.[/color] Cargo grins at Dahu and looks at Zarenia, prepared for battle.

The other two warrior's charged Zarenia as Dahu charged Cargo. He flies up firing a blast from his hand directly at Cargo. Cargo slaps it out of the way to feel Dahu now behind him. Dahu tries to land a volley ball strike, but Cargo simply descends in order to dodge it. Cargo stares at Dahu and shoots back up firing two weak ki blasts. He then hear's Zarenia call out to him. He looks over at her to see that she was going to have a struggle. It was most likely to late to actually follow up seeing as how he checked on Zarenia, but he would charge in anyway.

Once face to face with Dahu, Cargo would throw a flurry of punch and kicks, no doubt weak seeing as how he was not at full power. This was all to test just how powerful Dahu truly was.

(Sorry it took so long, Christmas and all )

[Virion]

Zarenia:

"You two are really starting to piss me off! I come to a new planet with the intent of changing my heart and this is the treatment I get? Screw it! I am going to hurt you two so badly your entire village will feel it!"

the first attacker looked sternly at the brenchian
"Your treatment only became as such when you ran. We told you, you must pay your debt. Attempting to take life without any life offered in repayment... you are a thief as well as a killer. Whether you took our kind on purpose, or in some terrible accident is irrelevant. The dead are only lost when their place stands unfulfilled, and our whole village already feels it!"
The blasts achieved their goal, forcing the namekians to dodge, and allowing her to land her first attack, however, as her high knee came up to the second his eyes flared dangerously with a snarl-like response. His aura burst forward as his bio-resonance engaged, and with a resounding thud he straight out caught the limb in place, smacking her open palmed attack aside with his forearm and grasping to the wrist in the same instant with a now surprisingly steely grasp.

He began to twist, and if successful then with a shifting tug would turn her around so that her back now faced him, his arms coming up into a shoulder and head lock which would prevent her from moving any of these, held in too tight to successfully orchestrate any headbutts or other manevours to escape, though ofcourse also preventing him from letting off any attacks of his own. His companion, or perhaps even the third and final warrior(who was merely spectating so far) could step in, attack Zarenia, bite her so that the infection could begin.
The moment that was done they would let her go and flee, their task complete. She would slip out of conciousness, but soon enough reawaken, unchanged.

From there they wouldn't need to chase her any more, She would return soon enough of her own accord, the slow transition that would develop over the coming weeks or even month eventually causing her to become one of the 'infected' and seek them out once more, this time as kin rather than futative.

------
Cargo:
Dahu matched Cargo with every strike, every counter, fient, punch and kick colliding against an equally executed opposing blow, the two warriors evenly matched, perhaps even perfectly so, though as each exchange occured te subtle signs were there that Cargo appeared to have the slightest bit more stamina, giving him an edge.
"a warm up is ofcourse important..." gritted Dahu while recovering from an elbow to the face, punctuating the last word with an upward flip, a kick which arced up over their heads as he arced forward, heel cannoning down for the collision against his opponent in a strike which would have to be countered rather than dodged
".. but i think it's time you started taking this a little more seriously." his hands glowed, the energy streaming up his arms. He launched back in with renewed vigour, his attacks slowly pushing their duel further away from Zarenia's. A powerful right hook, a lancing elbow strike, a two piece kick with a fluidly integrated left hand chop, finally finished by a double-handed shove, utilising a burst of ki leveled at his opponents chest to knock Cargo away.

It was now clear, Cargo was the stronger warrior, and if things continued as they were he would defeat dahu eventually. Succeed or fail with his previous attacks, Dahu was ready to bring this two the next level.

He stepped back and braced his arms out at his sides, palms turned upward. Purple aura burst forward, and his power skyrocketed. The ground shook, and debris dislodged themself to float up into the sky. Chimeric energy pulsated through his form, the mixed sensation of his energy signature sharing characteristics with it's source. He wasn't just stronger than cargo now, he had him completely outmatched, such was the power his infection bestowed that no base namekian could ever compete.

"You can't win Cargo, you may be more practiced than I am, and were this to draw out into a prolonged struggle you would certainly take victory by wearing me down, under different circumstances, but as it is the power of my kismen courses through my body, and we are a warrior far greater than your training could achieve, far greater than my training could achieve." he straighten, though his hands remained held out at his sides, as if inviting his opponent to try something, anything, in the face of his new transformations power.

"We are a fusion without loss, our strength combined while our bodies remain separate. Forget a union between warriors, with this our entire people could share the strength of the greatest namekian warriors, standing tall and proud. We wouldn't need to flee and die before monsters like the demon clan, or tyrants and renegades form distant worlds. We would at last achieve the goal that the warrior clan has existed for since it's foundation" He seemed excited, genuinely believing in his great promises, though pulling himself up now as he realised he was beginning to ramble.

"You and her, you will understand soon enough, and I will welcome you with open arms once-brother." With the power he now boasted, this was a very real possibility, Cargo would have to turn to his own transformation and hope his greater base strength would let him measure up, cause if not he two would be facing an infective bite.

[Kirei]

"Your treatment only became as such when you ran. We told you, you must pay your debt. Attempting to take life without any life offered in repayment... you are a thief as well as a killer. Whether you took our kind on purpose, or in some terrible accident is irrelevant. The dead are only lost when their place stands unfulfilled, and our whole village already feels it!"[/color]

Zarenia ignored his words and proceeded with the plan that was now working to perfection. She flew under one of her most powerful attacks with grace and ease. The uppercut landed and landed hard under the chin of the strange namekian. She quickly turned her attention to the other as he diversion wears off. She came in fast with ier high knee ready, but the aura of this warrior flared and she could feel his power surge and grow through him. He stops Zarenia's knee with ease, and she continued trying to land a open palm strike. He knocks it out of the way with his forearm and quickly grabs Zarenia.

He forcefully turns her around and now has a tight and firm lock on Zarenia. There was virtually nothing she could do as his grip seemed unbreakable. She looks out to see that the other two warrior were now watching her and ready to pounce.

"Hahaha... I bet you feel good about yourself right now holding me so tightly? Do you really think that I will allow you to keep me like this for long. You have shown me your power and I can gladly say that I'm only scratching the surface of my power in base form. Granted you three could still take me, but that's when skill comes in.[/color] Zarenia looks at the warrior's in the distance. "HEY, COME AND GET ME!"[/color]

Zarenia began to allow her power to flow through her. She was no longer going to hold back. She knew that unless she took this fight seriously she would just become another one of them. Just another infected plaything for their master to toy with. Zarenia was now at her maximum output in her base form and was now using shear power to break loose of the hold. That is when it hit her. Instead of breaking out of it and trying to take on all three, she would wait for the perfect time to strike.

"Alright, it's time to see how skilled these boys really are."[/i][/color]

[Deleted]

Cargo goes in with his slew of attacks ready to see how well Dahu could handle them. Dahu and Cargo seemed evenly match. As they met each other blow for blow. Cargo could not help but smile as Dahu's fighting skill was much better than Cargo last remembered. However, Cargo still had him beat in the stamina department. Cargo swiftly landed an elbow to Dahu's face. Dahu stumbles a bit after impact as Cargo smiles with satisfaction.

“Warm up is of course important…” Dahu flipped in the air with his back heel heading straight for Cargo. Cargo raises his forearm and smashes it against the incoming heel. Dahu and Cargo soon had space between them after the impact. “…but I think it’s time you take this a little more seriously.” Dahu’s hands began to glow and that is when Cargo knew that business was picking up much quicker than anticipated.

A right hook with major force behind it comes in strong towards Cargo who quickly clasps both his hands together and knocks it back. A powerful elbow soon followed and would have easily hit its mark if Cargo hadn’t unclasped his hands and placed them over each other placing them in front of the elbow. The force was sent through his entire upper body and stunned only slightly, but it was enough time for Dahu to land to kicks. The first hit smack dab under the chin causing Cargo’s head to jerk back, and the second came in hard against his chest causing him to fall back a few feet. Dahu continued his assault by quickly following the kicks with a left hand chop that Cargo barely was able to block. Cargo was then pushed back even further.

Dahu had gotten the best of Cargo for a brief moment, but this was only the beginning. Dahu flew back a bit with his arms braced at his side. A purple aura burst forward as Dahu’s power rose with it. The ground began to shake as his power grew and grew. Small pieces of debris began to float in the sky around them. Cargo had never seen raw power since Basna, but then again… Basna didn’t over match Cargo so severely. That is when Cargo realizes that Zarenia is a ways of from him. He can still see her, but there was significant distance between them. Cargo knew right away that without her there was no way for him to compete with Dahu without transforming. He would have to find a way to dispatch at least two of the other attackers that were fighting Zarenia, but with Dahu like this… seems impossible.

"You can't win Cargo, you may be more practiced than I am, and were this to draw out into a prolonged struggle you would certainly take victory by wearing me down, under different circumstances, but as it is the power of my kismen courses through my body, and we are a warrior far greater than your training could achieve, far greater than my training could achieve." Dahu seemed to invite Cargo to try and come at him and it was hard for Cargo not to take that chance right then and there, but he needed to think instead of going all out. "We are a fusion without loss, our strength combined while our bodies remain separate. Forget a union between warriors, with this our entire people could share the strength of the greatest namekian warriors, standing tall and proud. We wouldn't need to flee and die before monsters like the demon clan, or tyrants and renegades form distant worlds. We would at last achieve the goal that the warrior clan has existed for since it's foundation. "You and her, you will understand soon enough, and I will welcome you with open arms once-brother."

Cargo gritted his teeth as he not what to do. He didn’t want to transform as he felt he needed to be able to handle any and all comers in his base form. However, he had not yet achieved that power and there was no way he could win without it. “Alright, you boast all of this power and you seem proud of it. However you fail to see that I too can gain the power you have. I don’t mean by me transforming either. If I were to become apart of this little rag tag group; you would be back to being weaker than I. Sadly, that’s not what I want.” With those words Cargo charged into battle against Dahu. He flies in fast with a nasty right forearm, a straight to the chest, a spinning wheel kick, and a powerful fist to the gut. Cargo actually was going to stop the fist short of Dahu’s gut in hopes that it would throw him off in order to fire a ki blast at point blank range.

Cargo didn’t care if he did damage or not, all he was trying to do was ease the battle back towards Zarenia so they could actually help each other.

((Will clarify at the top here: This doesn’t have to be the end to this thread if you don’t want. I had intended on doing more, but since I’m going away for a week I thought I’d structure it so that it could work either way, letting you guys can decide whether you want to wait more and continue our battle, or whether you want to just RP your reply, get bitten in it and use it as the conclusion so you can move onward with whatever other things you may want to do after this.))

Zarnia didn’t count on one thing though. With the distraction of the incoming warrior to hold her focus, the namekian who had her gripped loosened the hold just enough to allow his neck free movement. His mouth opened, and fangs swung down in an attempt puncture the back of her neck or collar.

It was a risky move of course, the loosened grip potentially allowing her to escape if she were stronger than expected. Even if she did escape though, she would be far from safe, the other fighters all bearing down on her and the one who had her captured free to join that pursuit.

Unfortunately for Cargo, things would not go as he hoped. Without a transformation of his own, the warrior was utterly outmatched. Dahu stood, unmoved, blocking each attack simply and without pause.

“You’re stuck in the old ways of thinking Cargo, and while there is much to be said for self-improvement, individual strength is not the only way…” Dahu spoke between parries, coming the pace with little difficulty now that his bio-resonance was empowering his fighting capabilities.
“It doesn’t matter if you would be stronger than me when I succeed. See, I’ve worked out a system. All I need to be is strong enough to bite a warrior whose power outmatches my own. Once they turn, they could then bite a warrior stronger than them, and so on, bringing stronger and stronger protectors to our village. Each new warrior that joins would strengthen our bond, and ultimately only those who are weaker would remain. Once that point is reached, it would be a simple task to gather them into the fold”.

Slowly he folded his palm, and curled his fingers into a fist
“Well now, enough talk for the moment” With a flash he was gone, a blurred trail marking the near-instant path he had taken, directly forward, fist set to cannon into cargo’s stomach, well and truly knocking the wind out of him if successful.
His intention was then to sympathetically place his hand on the warriors shoulder, and go in for the bite, though he wondered if it would really prove so easy.

After that, they would leave he decided, returning to their village to await the coming of their two newest companions.

Zarenia didn't feel the grip loosen as she was entirely focused on executing a counter attack. When she realized she was able to move it was too late as she was bitten on the back of her neck. The pain was as intense as a building being demolished. There was no escape for her, it was simply too late. The other attackers eyed Zarenia hard. They had no clue that she had already been bitten so they charged in fast with the intent of biting Zarenia. One attacker latched on to her leg and bite into her thigh. The other grabbed an arm and bit down hard.

"PLEASE! STOP THIS![/color]

Her pleas were in vain as blood trickled down her neck because of the bite. A new strange essence was shooting through her body like a shooting star. It was something she had never felt before and her blood started to boil. A burning sensation ran through her body as her irises flicked back and forth between colors. Her temperature had risen with incredible speed. The other warriors released her and flew back home.

Zarenia floated there looking at Cargo who was a ways off. She was in and out of consciousness and fell to the ground leaving a carving of her body imprinted in the ground. She was now surrounded in pitch darkness with a strange shadowy figure looking at her as if he was staring into her very soul. He was very unfamiliar, but Zarenia had this overwhelming urge to crawl to it. She crawled but couldn't get any closer until she finally collapsed into a dreamless sleep.
