Dragonball M, Chapter 4: Kidnapping! Invasion! A new Threat Strikes First!

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Caliban puffs and nods.

“Well, I’d like a word with Sheki’hinah and Sihn before I mosey back to my own universe, if that’s ok with you, Miss Janitor?”

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Caliban puffs and nods.

“Well, I’d like a word with Sheki’hinah and Sihn before I mosey back to my own universe, if that’s ok with you, Miss Janitor?”

"Hey, you're the God proper, I'm just a janitor with a dream." Inanna commented. "Needing an escort?"

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

"Hey, you're the God proper, I'm just a janitor with a dream." Inanna commented. "Needing an escort?"

“Heh, seems proper. Don’t want to just wander about. Besides, I can’t cross into Otherworld on a whim.”

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Telling a Saiyan to focus on getting stronger could only tell Parsley that they had no first step. She had her own business to see about. Helping Sarada with Tundra and squaring her agreement with Night before at the fore. After that, she intended on following through with training Seri alongside her two children. Plus, she had other training she wanted to look into. Not having a step to look forward to and only having to focus on improving was a boon.

"Very well. When you're done, we should leave. I need to speak to Etrina."

"Care to make a pitstop first?" Inanna asked Parsley, "or have you seen your fill of Otherworld?

“Heh, seems proper. Don’t want to just wander about. Besides, I can’t cross into Otherworld on a whim.”

"No different than stepping between Universes, I figured a Universe steeped in magic might've figured a way~" Inanna said before shrugging. "Though I suppose it does help that my mother runs the place..." Yea that was probably a lot of it. Inanna snapped the fingers on her Forgefired Arm and a doorway opened. "After you, Caliban."

“Not far. We only had Maiz, no other as Eva proved.....resistant to coming along. Though.......hmm, in my moment of death I did feel an....emptying of Remnany’s presence. Since he was currently within me, perhaps Remnant passed on alongside my body. As to who killed me....I don’t know. But my attacker wasn’t on planet. Or close to it. I would have sensed them. Remnant would have sensed them.”

They had only just recently contended with Auroc, now another unseen enemy had lashed out from some hidden place to some unknown end.

Koorimaru's surprise, however, that someone could strike his ascendant state down in such a manner betrayed the depths of this mysterious third party.

Perhaps this attacker stood to oppose the Remnant from remaking the universe as well...

Such unforseen and thorough condemnation against this, one of the primordial beings of the universe could naively be described as an act of god.

Would that they did not have the knowledge that such things could be seized.

"If Inda'ren had endured this long, I highly doubt his spirit would expire that easily," Ochazuke said, "After all, you found a means to survive."

"Furthermore, you've been possessed with him for quite some time. Why does he need the Guardians? What else do you remember?"

Korrimaru laughs.

“Lost? Pride? No, I swallowed my pride when my power was stripped away years ago and I had to fight tooth and nail to regain even a semblance of it. I long learned that pride gets in the way of purpose. My ultimate goal is survival and growing my techniques and power, which at least is better than your thieving and hiding behind your badge, kinsman. And don’t deny it, I watched you on Reshlan. Stealing from ruined temples and pilfering as you so-called allies fight.”

He looks at Ochazuke.

“Careful with this one. At least you know what to expect from me. Blizzar hides his face and real motivations.”

"I find this counsel dubious from one who exists as a mask, Koorimaru."

[Sub-Zero MKA]

"Care to make a pitstop first?" Inanna asked Parsley, "or have you seen your fill of Otherworld?

Parsley had zero intention of every going to Otherworld ever again. She had spent a year there and had thoroughly grown tired of it around the... two week mark. If not for her anti-magic lessons with... with... ...I forgot his name...

She hadn't thought about him in forever, since she left HFIL. The name just completely slipped her mind. It starts with a U...I think. Or maybe a Z...Crap.

Whatever.

"I suppose. Perhaps she'll let me visit some famous dead people while you three are chatting." Or, one in particular.

"No different than stepping between Universes, I figured a Universe steeped in magic might've figured a way~" Inanna said before shrugging. "Though I suppose it does help that my mother runs the place..." Yea that was probably a lot of it. Inanna snapped the fingers on her Forgefired Arm and a doorway opened. "After you, Caliban."

Parsley waited for Caliban to cross over before following after him.

I need to learn how to do this.

Praxat takes her time to go over the contract." That is a yes. Oh, if you want to know more about my ancestor Disdemona, you can read the stories about her. Be warn stories about my ancestor are very long, and there are a ton of them," Praxat said.

" I haven't even read most of them," Praxat said as she signs the contract with her full name Praxat Luue DXCIII (The 593rd).

" Also, if you want to know why my ancestor's sword is called the Thunderstorm blade, I can answer that for you. One more thing, Something strange happen to me. Electricity surged rapidly through my eyes," Praxat said.

"It first happen in the ROSAT. Then when I was furious at two Threshlings, I was facing. Finally, when I pushed my self to use 50% and 60% of my elastic energy during the battle with Auroc. I think it's a sign of a new power trying to awaken inside me," Praxat said.

OOC: for Miburo

"I see. I see. Fascinating." Held replied nonchalantly, making sure that the paperwork had been appropriately signed. He nodded satisfactorily, vaguely aware of the additional information Praxat had provided him.

"So what you're saying is that you want to figure out what that new power is, and how to awaken it?"

Held rubbed his chin.

"I suppose we can fit that in....I'm in a bit of a hurry..."

He looked around nervously, as if on guard for something.

".... and I need to look as busy as possible to keep Hilda away, so we'll start immediately. Are you ready?"

" Yes, I want to figure out what it is and how to awaken it, but I have a hunch it's a transformation. Something much different from my various modes, See, my race can generate and control raw electromagnetic energy. Yeah, I'm ready," Praxat said as she briefly generates bioelectricity from her fingertips.

Praxat then shows off her modes to Held. First, starting with Efficiency mode. In which her body becomes slightly buffer and taller. Next, she shows off Boost mode.

In which only the muscles in her arms and legs bulk up and, her body starts giving off steam. Then she shows off Power mode. In which her entire body buffs up, and her stomach inflates immensely. Giving her the appearance of a sumo wrestler.

Her height also dramatically increases. Finally, she shows off Max Mode. In which her body basically becomes a hulking behemoth With a red firey aura, glowing red lines on her body, and white eyes. In this state, her body is giving off a crazy amount of steam.

Praxat then reverts back to normal. "Those modes or forms I just showed you are applications of a school of thought in my race's martial arts system Aoem. This school of thought is called The Way of Inflation," Praxat said.

"We'll if you're prepared, let's go." Held replied with a weary smile, "Be on guard, this could be a rough couple of minutes for you---"

The Nevadian paused, peering right behind Praxat, a quizzical expression on his face.

"..Is that your phone? Or is it someone elses? I don't really know anyone else who carries such an antiquated device, though...."

"..Is that your phone? Or is it someone elses? I don't really know anyone else who carries such an antiquated device, though...."

" I'm an engineer, and a technogeek. The tech I carry with me is always up to date. The phone I have is the latest model of cell phone, equipped with the latest cell phone technology. Well it was the latest model when I bought it," Praxat said.

" I'm an engineer, and a technogeek. The tech I carry with me is always up to date. The phone I have is the latest model of cell phone, equipped with the latest cell phone technology. Well it was the latest model when I bought it," Praxat said.

"You don't say." Held replied, nodding appreciatively, "I sort of figured the rest of the Galaxy had moved on to scouters or communicators, but we all have our own ways..."

He shrugged. "In any case, antiquated is hardly a put down. By most contemporary standards my spear could be considered 'antiquated'--Even though it's no ordinary spear--let alone your sword, eh?"

Held sighed, his Toadian Temporary Interim Apprentice apparently missing his point.

"Pass me the phone then? I'll have to examine it since someone had to have dropped it....I suppose I could get it myself, but it's a bit rude just to reach beneath your legs and grab it."

[bruceleegreyhulk]

What Held said then registers with Praxat." Oh, I get what you mean now. You mean that the design of my phone is antiquated. In that case, it is," Praxat said.

"I would use Scouters or communicators if I could find ones that could fit my head. I mean, I have round bulging eyes and no external ears. Plus, I wear goggles. As for my ancestor Disdemona's sword Thunderstorm blade, it has two mini electric motors in its hilt," Praxat said.

" These motors allowed it to form a powerful electromagnetic field that can be switch on and off. Due to its materials and its electromagnetic field, my ancestor's sword is basically a lightning rod for electromagnetic energy. This allows me to channel and focus my bio-electromagnetic energy into it and amplified my bio-electromagnetic energy," Praxat said.

Praxat then passes the phone to Held.

Praxat then passes the phone to Held.

The Nevadians hand reached out to grab the object being offered to him by the Toadian scientist. Oddly, his hand began to widen, before sliding past the phone in a fluid motion.

Unicorn's Hooves Shake The Sea!

Held's palm collided with the midsection of the Toadian, shock waves of Ki permeating her being, the pure concussive impact of the attack sending her skyrocketing miles away towards--and most likely into-- the nearest uninhabited mountain range.

"I did tell you to be on guard!" He shouted after the body being launched towards the Horizon, "Focus!"

Good Grief....She gets bogged down in minutiae so easily, that we'd spend more time discussing the nature of phones than we'd spend unlocking her power...It's far too easy to distract her.

Sighing slightly, a white aura flared around the Nevadian as he levitated into the sky, streaks of white following as he flew after Praxat.


...Whose phone was that anyways? Eh, I'll buy them a replacement and upgrade it later.

Korrimaru laughs.

“Lost? Pride? No, I swallowed my pride when my power was stripped away years ago and I had to fight tooth and nail to regain even a semblance of it. I long learned that pride gets in the way of purpose. My ultimate goal is survival and growing my techniques and power, which at least is better than your thieving and hiding behind your badge, kinsman. And don’t deny it, I watched you on Reshlan. Stealing from ruined temples and pilfering as you so-called allies fight.”

"Jealous that my treasure seeking exploits ultimately proved more fruitful than yours, Koorimaru?" Blizzar wondered aloud. "Quite unbecoming of an Arcosian paragon, old boy. But to counter your spiteful barb, I've aided my dear friends and allies for years, I trust in their abilities. When I am needed, I fight. When I am not....I seek to pursue the galaxy's salvation via other means."

“Not far. We only had Maiz, no other as Eva proved.....resistant to coming along. Though.......hmm, in my moment of death I did feel an....emptying of Remnany’s presence.

"Furthermore, you've been possessed with him for quite some time. Why does he need the Guardians? What else do you remember?"

"Yet another indication of the failing of this Guardian System," Blizzar couldn't help but scoff. "Useful as it has proven in many an instance, their nature has proven a liability, time and time again."

He looks at Ochazuke.

“Careful with this one. At least you know what to expect from me. Blizzar hides his face and real motivations.”

"I find this counsel dubious from one who exists as a mask, Koorimaru."

"But you do have to respect his dedication to the craft," the lieutenant quipped.
