    Blizzar eventually arrived on the Lookout, an intense scowl forming on his armored brow. The Arcosian approached Ochazuke, glancing down at the Namekian as he stepped forward. "Grinthorn knows he's hear. Gods know what else he knows, but he attempted to take the Namekian into his custody, wanting to interrogate him personally. He's been talked out of it...for now. The topic will likely come up again at the Summit..." Blizzar sighed, more winded and worn out from his conversation with Earth's leader than he had been after facing the demon lord.

    "He spoke to the rest of us for quite some time, you know. A ploy, as it were. While we foolishly gave him our attention, his people began to gather the corpses of our fallen foes from the battlefield. The Saiyans have yet to return..." Blizzar noticed. "Perhaps they're attempting to negotiate further. I cannot say for sure."

    Dash and Cyanna shared a look that silently said, 'what was that all about?'

    Cyanna then motioned to Charco, "Let's follow Eva and see what's going on."

    Dash had already begun heading out to the Plaza where Kai was tending to the Fire Elemental.

    Blizzar turned to take a glance at the Threshling Royal that had grown into a powerful ally of the M-Fighters, if not one of them in her own right. Her people were something of a recent revaluation to the larger intergalactic community as a whole. Their reputation was...not the most positive, though there were still many things not known about them. At least to Blizzar.

    He had sought her out when he'd first landed on Earth, but she wasn't present at the time. He hadn't gotten any other real opportunity to speak with her until now. But given recent events...there were far more immediate matters on his mind at the moment. Still...there was something he was curious about.

    "Nevanlinna, isn't it?" Blizzar asked. "Lieutenant Blizzar of the Galaxy Police. Where's your Knight?"

    Parsley realized that there wasn't much else left for her to do, and the longer she remained in Grinthorn's presence, the more disturbed she felt. With a respectful bow of the head in his direction, she floated into the air. "A pleasure, President Grinthorn. Until we meet again." Which will hopefully be later rather than sooner.

    With that, she vanished into the sky, a white trail of energy left in her wake.

    It was uncanny how much he knew of them without having ever met them. The fact that he knew her name and her station in life before she even had the chance to introduce herself was only the tip of the iceberg, she was sure. Parsley didn't know what he true self was, but he wasn't human. That much she did know.

    She remembered how rehearsed his movements were, how it appeared that he was trying too hard to appear normal. If she were bolder - or perhaps stupider - she would have called him out on it right then and there. While he would have played it off, without a doubt, it would have placed her on his hit-list. If he did indeed have one. Regardless, that was something she didn't want him to know that she was aware of until she and the others had more evidence necessary to avoid the mountain of negative consequences killing him would surely bring.

    And he's confident an alliance will be made between Earth and Vocado. Sarada needs to be very careful around him, if she doesn't already know that. Given her body language around him, she did. Good. That would lead her to be more wary and less liable to simply jump to agree with the first terms he presents her.

    Assuming she hadn't done so already.

    Parsley touched down on the Lookout shortly after leaving Capital City and found it abuzz with activity. A pair of Nevanlinna's (?) were healing the Namekian, with Ochazuke keeping a close watch. The apprentice guardian, Ronin, was healing the fire elemental, keeping her flame alight until she was ready to rise to her feet again. The Chromakai Guardian's sister was standing nearby with Dash and a naked boy.

    Hm.

    "Do you realize you're naked?" she asked him. "Rather bold for a human, I've noticed."

    " it was fighting style that was created by Praxat's ancestor Vivian Luue 500,000 years ago , and both me and Praxat are learning from my ancestor Althena ." " I even witness a sparring match were my ancestor won against Praxat." " I will continue to train under her to get stronger."

    Well, it was her home away from home, so she would do her part to defend it, come what may.
    After Ochazuke laid the fallen wizard down and let Nevanlinna set to work, a silent moment passed there between them. Set between the Princess' mirror-image on either end, between the ash and wounds on his upper body there was a heaviness in the air as the two of them awaited the Guardian's arrival to the chamber. Though united in purpose, he found himself standing apart.

    Once more did a proclamation come from the sky above, speaking of honour while laying claim to a world under the pretext of a higher purpose. Yet never was it a purpose to serve any higher calling, to the pursuit of greater reason or compassion, only acts of supplication to bring the Earth to heel. He exhaled slowly. Against his racing mind, the fatigue that had crept into his bones stretched the lingering pain from Luop's invocation earlier, and the scar upon his heart burned raw.

    Yet in the midst of this Threshling plot, the morning's invader had indeed bound himself to his word. For all the harrowing acts of violence and the fanatic's prayer that drove the youth, he had let them make his choice for him: victory or exile.

    The slavish devotion had allowed the Knight to find his answer. Yet even as Nevanlinna worked silently to preserve this Namekian, this third party of invaders, the spirit of their last exchange a year ago still remained about them.

    "Why did you come back," he asked. "Are you here of your own will, or were you otherwise compelled to return to Earth?"

    If memory of the Threshlings was bitter to Ochazuke, the Arcosians were about even in his view. Yet the GP Lieutenant had a different bearing from the few he had the displeasure of knowing, and his deeds today spoke to a different tune.

    Funny how dangerous times render men honest.

    Still, Blizzar's recollection of what happened below was an occasion for some alarm.

    "Why wouldn't he? He is, after all the world's enemy as much as he is ours," he said. "What troubles me, however, is just how he knew he would be able to have words at all under the circumstances."

    Chuan's needles held fast the thread of the Wizard's life, and the tether for Nevanlinna to support him. Two esoteric pinpricks, countered by a mysterious Heterodoxy style on the cusp of existence.

    "I understand that he is not the only one to be salvaged. There is another, and Ishtar spoke of a Doctor," he replied.

    One of the Nevanlinnas--the real one--turned an eye to the... frost demon or whatever they called themselves. He wanted to know where Luop was? Given his profession, she figured he would want to question him, which was... reasonable, she supposed. Still, Luop was likely still resting, exhausted as he was.

    "Resting in a secure location," said the princess. "Sir Luop was most exhausted after that battle--quite understandable--and needed to recover. It has been quite some time, and once I have finished with this Namekian, I shall go and check up on him."

    Nevanlinna was silent for a moment. "So, I wonder... how did one of your people end up with the Galaxy Police? In my experience, your kind tend to be... loners, for the most part."

    "Who was teasing?" Parsley shrugged. "I've noticed you humans tend to, for some reason, feel embarrassed if you're caught in public with no clothes on. I was just making sure he was aware."

    Interesting. That boy's energy feels like that creature's from before. Only more... pure. Not as corrupted and foul, at least.

    The slavish devotion had allowed the Knight to find his answer. Yet even as Nevanlinna worked silently to preserve this Namekian, this third party of invaders, the spirit of their last exchange a year ago still remained about them.

    "Why did you come back," he asked. "Are you here of your own will, or were you otherwise compelled to return to Earth?"



    If memory of the Threshlings was bitter to Ochazuke, the Arcosians were about even in his view. Yet the GP Lieutenant had a different bearing from the few he had the displeasure of knowing, and his deeds today spoke to a different tune.

    Funny how dangerous times render men honest.

    Still, Blizzar's recollection of what happened below was an occasion for some alarm.

    "Why wouldn't he? He is, after all the world's enemy as much as he is ours," he said. "What troubles me, however, is just how he knew he would be able to have words at all under the circumstances."

    Chuan's needles held fast the thread of the Wizard's life, and the tether for Nevanlinna to support him. Two esoteric pinpricks, countered by a mysterious Heterodoxy style on the cusp of existence.

    "I understand that he is not the only one to be salvaged. There is another, and Ishtar spoke of a Doctor," he replied.
    "I was exiled," stated Nevanlinna. "To elaborate, I was exiled due to the machinations of one of my brothers, a man whose faith in Auroc, like most of the nobility, verged well into fanaticism. My mother regrets doing so, but... ultimately, I believe she did it for my own safety, as one such as I, lacking in faith as I was and am, would have been in great danger had I stayed on my homeworld."

    She paused to readjusted the output of her healing. "There is a... cold war raging on my homeworld, with Auroc's fanatics on one side, and my Mother and her allies on the other. Sir Luop's loyalty is to my mother, of course, and he was given orders to protect me, should he encounter me. I... believe that his invasion was a ruse meant to test your worth as allies to my mother."

    "As for why I chose this planet to reside on during my exile... it has a pleasant, varied climate, good food, and the people are... tolerable," she said. "And, in truth... I had nowhere else to go where I knew anyone in more than passing."
