In the thick of a war. (Blaze, and Requies?)

[Deleted]

After taking flight from the Turtle School, Ethar had set his sights towards what was called 'North City', an industrious city from what he had heard, and figured it might be a good place to start when looking for his acquaintance Blaze. He was pretty much one of the only people he could trust on the entire planet so far.

But much to his dismay, Earth was a huge planet, and had training himself to seek out specific energy signatures yet. So finding Blaze would be like a needle in a haystack... or if he found him by fluke. "Come on Blaze, where are you?" He thought, as he kept an immediate eye out for any trouble on the ground incase he saw another Red Pants army raid on a poor helpless village like what had happened in Ginger town.

[Blaze]

It wouldn't be so hard to locate Blaze as Ethar was thinking. It was quite simple actually; Look for the ridiculous power level, or the explosions. And right now there were both. Blaze was down in part of the more undesirable section of the city where a group of similarly dressed hoods tried to tell Blaze that he was in the 'wrong hood'. His ass he was, it turned into a mess quickly, as Blaster fire was exchanged with Blaze's ki blasts.

Blaze was in his first form now. He moved fast to evade the shots, firing one to hit a house nearby and cause a distraction before jumping into the air. He charged ki around his right arm before releasing a battle cry and plummeting to the ground with his earth-shattering Blazing Punch. The shockwave sent the gangsters flying in all directions... none died, so he figured, and the ones who were still conscious fled. Blaze roared obscenities at them.

"I can go wherever the hell I want! Run you bastards, run! I'll find you, you will be sleeping sometime!"

He wasn't really on the hunt... they didn't need to know that though. He heard sirens in the distance. Time to bail...

[Deleted]

Ethar was flying slowly, trying to find something to tell him where to go, but it was then he heard it, explosions up ahead, with a higher power level. He could also hear sirens blaring and glared. "Red Pants army at it again? Fuck, Ill kill em all." He said, as he put on a burst of speed towards the city where the action was, and saw in a birds-eye view that the one causing all the destruction was Blaze, and a squad of police were heading his way.

He didnt powerup, but Ethar swooped down in a carpet bombing motion, and made a deep trench in the road infront of the vehicles, causing them to crash into it, but luckily the trench was enough to only do that, and no one was killed. He quickly changed direction, and headed towards Blaze, and quickly set down behind him. "Having fun with the locals Blaze?" He asked wit ha smirk on his face.

[Blaze]

Blaze was on edge when the blasts rained down from above. He spun around to retaliate when he sensed Ethar. What in the blue blazes was he doing here? Blaze relaxed as Ethar touched down. He asked about his experience with the assholes who got him going.

"Fun... sure. If fun is randomized rage directed at people simply because they generally piss me off." Blaze signaled to take off, and blasted into the air before the police got involved. As far as they were conserned, they wouldn't find Blaze or Ethar as long as they kept their PL low for a few miles.

Blaze would shout back to Ethar, assuming he was behind.

"So, what you up to? Other than coming out of nowhere and getting in my way?" The last part being more sarcastic. He did get a kick out of the idea of Ethar taking it to heart though.

[Deleted]

Ethar shrugged, as he replied "Im not so fond of the human race either." as he suddenly saw Blaze take off and fly away. Ethar knew why he took off in such a hurry, and flew after him, trying to match his speeds. "I came looking for you actually. What do you know of the Red Pants Army?" He asked, as he soon caught up to the Acrosian.

"I beleive I might of found someone whos working for them.... Well, He found me." He said, as a bird whacked Ethar in the face. "Ngh, stupid birds!" He said with a growl as he looked back to Blaze. "A Billionaire who works in East city. He wanted me to go to work for him, and called those Murdering Red Pants 'Freedom fighters'." He said, as he could sense two weak signals approaching from behind, rapidly. He took a quick gander backwards, and saw two human air fighters approaching them. "We got Company!"

[Blaze]

Blaze nodded. "Yeah. Crash land, meet random people, then get caught up in some fight against some douchebags with a funny name and do the fighting along side some organization I have no loyalty to... I could see doing this for Namek or Acrose, possibly, but..."

Ethar interrupted quickly with a shout of alert. Blaze looked over his shoulder as well. "What the hell do these guys want? They hostile? Ohhhh lord, I hope they're hostile..." His expression turning to a twisted grin at the last sentence.

[Deleted]

Ethar kept following Blaze's trajectory, keeping an eye on the jets as Ethar saw them suddenly fire missiles at them. "Hostile indeed! You take one, Ill get the other." He said, as he quickly fired Ki blasts at the missiles, then glared at one of the jets. He squinted his eyes, as if doing a precision aim and fired a concentrated Ki beam, that sliced the top of the cockpit, forcing the pilot to eject and the jet exploded underneath him.

"So do you know a man named Ezekiel Newman?" He asked, hoping that Blaze wasnt going to kill the pilot of the other Jet, and if he would try to, Ethar would intervene with his own Ki blast. He hoped it wouldnt come to that, or else He would have to fight Blaze again like he did on Namek, but with less intent on not killing him. Although Ethar knew he couldnt risk a heavy confrontation at his current power level.

[Blaze]

Blaze spun around, still flying backwards. Why the hell did they send ships?" he asked, never seeing a jet before. T%hey launched missiles at him that he didn't expect. He fired back but wasn't long before being pelted with a couple of them, creating a smoke cloud.

The jet fighter banked around to deal with Ethar next before a blur slammed into his craft's nose. Blaze was far from dead. He ripped the top off the craft like it was plastic wrap and punched the fighter in the face before tearing him from the craft seat and all. He tossed him aside and watched the 'ship' plummet to the ground, but was displeased when the pilot activated some kind of glider to slow his decent.

Blaze crossed his arms. "Well that was annoying. And I met some guy named Ezekiel somthin before in a bar way back. Brown hair, black coat, carries a sword?" Blaze had no idea what Ethar was on about. But why would the RPA want Ethar to help them?

[Deleted]

"I dunno... But the guy wants me to take apart machines so his company can build more, and there were RPA machines there to." He said after Blaze returned from knocking out the other jet. "Ya know, Im starting to get really sick of this Human race. They have been nothing but deceptive, and Hostile. Still, there are some good people, if you want, We should either find that friend of yours from earlier, or train up and infiltrate Newmans company tonight. What do you think?" He asked, wondering if Blaze was more keen on just blowing stuff up, and killing people, or if Blaze wanted to find out who and what was the source of all the chaos that was taking over the planet, and put a stop to it in an epic battle of good against evil.

"Something tells me you just wanna blow shit up...."

[Blaze]

Blaze was thinking about what Ethar said. Yes, there were good people here, but there were good people on every planet, really. Blaze thought about what lie beyond this. What was up on Namek? Blaze had wanted to take Ren'ai there, but she seems to have disappeared. Then Acrose. Blaze had restored it's existence, but never once set foot on it in his life...

"Something tells me you just wanna blow shit up...."

"Something tells me SOMEONE FINALLY UNDERSTANDS!" Blaze roared, balling up his fists with a grin. He was honestly just getting bored.

Boredom was making him angry, and anger made him violent. As long as innocent people didn't die, he was down for whatever Ethar was up to. Then there's pay... though Blaze could likely five-finger a few stacks of Zeni from the RPA.

[Deleted]

"You dont get what I am saying are you?" Ethar asked, Giving Blaze an odd look. He had a vauge idea as to why Blaze was angry, but wasnt sure that it was to boredom. "You should calm down Blaze. If we are gonna sneak around in a Billionaire's company, without tipping off his...android bodyguard, We will need a cool head. Besides, if things turn out to be what I suspect it to be, you can pillage his vault for anything you want."He said with a sigh. He had to get atleast Blaze on his side if he was gonna pull this off easily.

"The Red Pants army have killed thousands, and it will not be tolerated. I was there when Ginger town was attacked, Some Saiyan woman and half a batallion was there. I met another Icerian like you who helped me beat them back, but I ended up running away because my power was severely handicapped. Now will you help me or not?"

[Blaze]

Stealth? Blaze could totally do stealth. No problems at all... maybe. Blaze listened to Ethar as they floated there and thought of Ezekiel's vault. Hopefully he could make some good coin off that. He'd just need to be quiet. That is, until one of them screwed something up and Blaze had to go Brute on them all.

His interest spiked when he spoke of both the saiyan woman and the Acrosian. Saiyan woman brought back memories of Serori... but the acrosian...

"Another acrosian?" Blaze thought, his eyes shifting to the side and back. "Is he strong? Is he an asshole? Please tell me they're both, I could use a decent fight." He smiled, then noted Ethar's plan and sighed. "Aaaafter your splinter cell black ops mission... thing."

[Deleted]

Ethar had never heard of the term 'Acrosian' before, since back in his day they were refereed to as Icerians. "I guess more then I thought had changed over 500 years..." he thought, as Blaze threw some more questions at him about Kirei. Some agitated him, as he threw a harsh look at Blaze "SHE is strong indeed. A Lil bit of a temper, but if I ever hear you saying anything negative about her again, Ill make sure to pull you inside out, Tail first! Got it?" He said, as he continued to glare at Blaze, one of his fists clenching.

He didnt like anyone talking smack about his girlfriend, but then again, Blaze didnt know about their relationship.Of course, Ethar didnt have to tell him everything at once. "That aside, You up for some training? We have time to kill before Night falls."

[Blaze]

It was common assumption that most Acrosians made an ass of themselves with superiority complexes or underestimating their opponents. Similar to the assumption that all Saiyans want to fight and love a challenge, or how all Kanassians can see the future.

Blaze was caught off guard by Ethar's threat. Well, what he considered a threat. Blaze, however, simply froze up for a moment... this guy thought he could rip Blaze inside out? Seriously? Blaze was already on edge and now this guy was making threats that just pissed him off even more. Ethar continued...

"That aside, You up for some training? We have time to kill before--"

"--BLAZING PUNCH!" Sudden surprise attack from Blaze would kick off their 'training' session. He hadn't charged it as much as he could have, but it would pack a good amount of power if it nailed Ethar in the face like he intended!

[Deleted]

Ethar had his eyes on Blaze the entire time, and easily saw Blaze suddenly charging at him with an attack that he seemed to be familiar with, though it nagged at him like a bad cold. He couldnt pin what it was, until he heard Blaze call out his attack, and Ethar just moved to the side, letting it fly past him. "About time." Ethar said, as he quickly threw his hands up, and unleashed a close ranged barrage of energy blasts that would create plenty of smoke, as he flew backwards to get some distance between him and the Acrosian. He knew that such blasts wouldnt harm him, but damaging him wasnt the intent of the attack.

He quickly then moved his hands to his sides, charged up enough energy to throw his hands forward, and unleashed a Dragon Flash Wave at Blaze, as the Dragon roared at Blaze as the smoke was clearing. It would attempt to engulf him so that it could deal damage to him, if any at all. Ethar knew Blaze was more powerful then him, and didnt want to make Blaze transform yet, since he knew what Kirei was capable of, and knew that Blaze was capable of it to.
