Calm before the storm...

[Ryan - Loki]

Gareeku had indeed finished off Ryan’s sentence for him, much like Ryan had intended him to do so, and now Ryan’s story was complete, without much of the detail but complete nevertheless. Ryan listened with extreme intensity as Gareeku began to speak, soon enough Gareeku began to explain how they were not too different from each other, and as he continued Ryan began to truly understand how right Gareeku was. Apart from the obvious similarities, such as both having Saiyan blood flowing within their bodies, the two shard a deep burden of being the last of their races to survive, and they had both been whiteness to both their people’s slaughters as well as the death of their parents. Things that to this day Ryan would not wish upon his most hazardous of enemies.

Ryan had become near engrossed in Gareeku’s life story. It was a story of great sadness, pain and evil times, yet at the same time a story of justice and goodness breaking through the darkness.

At the end of the story Gareeku paused and placed his hand upon Ryan’s shoulder once more. He spoke one last time; this time reassuring Ryan, but Ryan simply smiled and nodded. “Gareeku, warrior of the Saiyan’s. You brought justice to those who brought great evil to your universe and in doing so you allowed all those who had been wronged by them to finally rest in peace.” Ryan said, placing his own hand upon Gareeku’s shoulder. “You have a beautiful son Gareeku…you are the last of your race no more.”

Removing his hand from Gareeku’s shoulder Ryan gave a small laugh as he finally replied to Gareeku’s last sentence. “Yes my father is, he tells me often when I see him.” only then realising that what he said may have made him out to seem quite crazy. Shaking his head at himself he smiled and explained a little further. “You see, I am the messenger of the God’s and in being so I have a constant link to them…as well as Heaven, it’s angels….and the spirits that reside in that wonderful place.” he said pausing slightly, allowing Gareeku to keep up. “I often ask my father to come down to me to speak, some time he comes of he’s own accord…all I have to do is request an audience with someone and they come, if they please that is.” he said nodding slowly to himself. “…It often helps to sooth the pain of loss when you can see your loved ones again.”

[Gareeku]

Gareeku smiled as he listened to Ryan's words of comfort. "Thank you for your kind words my friend. You too are a truly gifted warrior, Ryan; warrior of the samurai, it has truely been an honour to meet a person such as yourself" Gareeku replied gratefully. Listening to Ryan speak of how he was a messanger of the gods and how he could request an audience with the angels and spirits that resided in heaven, Gareeku smiled again. "Maybe one day i could speak with Falina, if that would not be any trouble. Maybe i could even meet your father sometime. It would be great to meet such a legendary samurai warrior who is the father of another" Gareeku commented, smiling as he looked back towards the sky.

[Ryan - Loki]

Gareeku’s words were too kind and Ryan certainly didn’t think he disserved them, whether that was him being modest or it was a part of him that still deep down blamed himself not only for the slaughter of his people, and father, but also the creation of Loki. These were feelings within him that, although he had thought long since dead, seemed to resurface from time to time. Ryan listened to Gareeku’s nice words at any rate and once he had finished speaking he simply bowed his head, Ryan’s true symbol of honour and respect for another.

Shortly after Ryan had bowed Gareeku continued, exactly what Ryan had partially been hinting at. A smile quickly inched across his face as he looked on at Gareeku. “Is now a good time for you?” Ryan said as he tiled his head and moved his arms over to his right gesturing for Gareeku to move in that direction.

[Gareeku]

Listening to Ryan speak, Gareeku's eyes went wide with surprise. Ryan could request for their presence now? Now this certainly didn't happen every day. Moving where Ryan motioned him to move to, the blue-tailed saiyan warrior waited in anticipation for what would happen next.

[Ryan - Loki]

As Gareeku’s eyes widened in shock Ryan nodded his head as if to confirm his thoughts without words, this would happen here and now if Gareeku wished and when Gareeku moved over towards where Ryan had motioned for him to Ryan had perceived that as an unspoken ‘yes’. It was strange but an overwhelming feeling of both excitement as well as great happiness. If he could bring Gareeku even one second of blissful happiness that would linger within his mind as a memory forever more then Ryan would do anything necessary to do so, after all, Gareeku and his students had been so nice to him already when most would have cast him aside.

Moving over in front of Gareeku, into a small area that had an open view to the blue sky above, Ryan looked up as he raised both of his arms up into the sky and closed his eyes. “Father…” Ryan muttered quietly. “Come before us please.” after these words left Ryan’s mouth everything seemed to suddenly become silent, even the birds had stopped tweaking and the wind had seemed to lie to rest for the moment. It had almost become eerie. All of a sudden a much deeper and huskier voice than Ryan spoke out from the entrance room to the dojo. [glow=teal,2,300] “This reminds me much of home.” [/glow]

Ryan lowered his head and arms and looked over in the direction of the door and surely enough a figure soon exited from within. This figure had a slender appearance but was clearly quite bulky at the same time from muscle. He dawned very little to no hair upon his head, shaved extremely close, a samurai blade at his side and he stood in traditional Samurai robes, a similar blue in colour to Ryan’s cloak. He’s body carried a bright glow around its parameter, a heavenly glow about him, as two large white-feathered wings sprouted out from within his shoulder blades, reaching at least three to four feet. [Glow=teal,2,300] “Hello son” [/glow] he said as he came to stand only a few feet away from Ryan.
Ryan quickly bowed his head before speaking “Father, it’s an honour to see you.”
Walking forward towards Ryan quite quickly Katsumoto bent down upon one knee and placed his hands upon Ryan’s shoulders. [Glow=teal,2,300] “Son…Ryan,” [/glow] he said softly, raising his son back into a straight standing position. [Glow=teal,2,300] “You bow to no angel.” [/glow]

There was a slight pause between the two as they looked upon each other in complete silence but as the moment past the both embraced each other in their arms, father and son reunited. After a few seconds the embrace broke off and they both shared a smile, Katsumoto winking at his son, but the attention was turned onto Gareeku.

Ryan turned towards Gareeku at this point and began the introduction. “Father I would like you to meet-”
[Glow=teal,2,300] “Gareeku, yes I know.” [/glow] Katsumoto interrupted with. Slowly moving past Ryan and over to Gareeku Katsumoto bent down in front of him and spoke once again, this time in a much quieter voice. [Glow=teal,2,300] “She speaks of you often… Baby Blue ” [/glow] Katsumoto said, slowly standing again and walking a few steps away from him. Now looking towards the same entrance he had come from, the main entrance room of the dojo, Katsumoto spoke once more, but to another person. [Glow=teal,2,300] “He is ready.” [/glow]

[Gareeku]

Gareeku stared on in astonishment as Katsumoto appeared before Ryan and himself. Not only was Ryan's father a samurai, but he was also an angel. Bowing before Ryan's father as he approached the blue tailed saiyan, Gareeku spoke. "It is an honour to meet you, sir" Gareeku said as he bowed, truly full of respect for a person such as Katsumoto. Upon hearing Ryan's father utter "Baby Blue", Gareeku's cheeks went bright pink; it seemed that Falina was still fond of using his pet name she had given him because of his blue eyes and tail.

When Katsumoto spoke again, it seemed that he was speaking to someone else, not Ryan, but another, who seemed to be in the entrance to the dojo. Sure enough, another figure appeared in the doorway. This person was athletically built, toned, but still had the feminine curves despite this. The woman's hair was a light brown in colour and was styled in a middle parting, tied back into a ponytail and reached down to her hips. The clothes she wore were all white in color, taking the form of trousers which were tucked into her boots, a vest and arm bands that went from her wrists to just above her biceps, made of a thin material that looked similar to silk. Like Katsumoto, the woman had a heavenly glow about her and also sported a pair of large white wings that sprouted from her shoulder blades. Walking forward, she stopped just in front of Gareeku and smiled softly. [glow=yellow,2,300]"hello, Gareeku"[/glow] she said softly.

By this point, Gareeku was totally and utterly speechless, as the woman now standing before him was none other than Falina herself. "Fa...Falina...Its...its really you..." Gareeku managed to say, his voice somewhat weak as he stared at her, before embracing her in a tight hug, Falina returning it just as much. The warrior's cheeks were now glistening with tears; tears of pure joy that Gareeku simply could not find the words to describe. Thw two of them stayed like this for a few minutes before releasing each other, Falina lifting a hand to wipe the tears from Gareeku's face. [glow=yellow,2,300]"Just look at you, you're a mess"[/glow] Falina said, smiling softly. "well, you know me, always getting myself into a mess" Gareeku replied, the two of them both laughing at this.

Gathering himself together, Gareeku turned to Ryan and spoke once more. "Falina, i'd like you to meet a very good friend of mine, this is-" [glow=yellow,2,300]"Ryan, I know. Your father often speaks of you. I am honoured to meet you"[/glow] Falina said with a smile, bowing politely as she spoke.
"I see you're still fond of using that pet name" Gareeku said with a grin. [glow=yellow,2,300]"Of course, baby blue"[/glow] Falina replied replied with a grin of her own, Gareeku rolling his eyes jokingly at this. Turning to Ryan, Gareeku smiled again. "Ryan, Katsumoto, words cannot decribe the gratitude I am feeling now. I cannot thank you both enough for all you have done for me, you've made me the happiest man in the world" Gareeku said happily. His words could not be any more true.

[Ryan - Loki]

Ryan watched and listened intensely as his father moved over towards Gareeku and exchanged a few short words. At this point something had caught Ryan’s eye, a glowing movement off inside where his father had made his entrance, inside the entrance room of the dojo. Turning fully to face the not so distant room Ryan took a few steps to his right to gain a better view of just who or what had been moving around; it was then that he saw her.

At first Ryan only noticed a few things about this person, first being that she was a woman and second that she also, much like Katsumoto, sported a rather large pair of white-feathered angel wings. “Another Angel…could it be?” It was only then that she finally turned around. She seemed extremely toned, in an athletic sense, yet extremely beautiful at the same time. With light brown hair, in a ponytail, that reached down to about her hips. Her attire consisted of trousers, which were tucked into her boots, a vest and arm bands that went from her wrists to just above her biceps, made of a thin material that looked similar to silk and all in white.

Just moments after Ryan had noticed the woman Katsumoto had turned towards the door and spoke to her. Instantly her expression changed, she was nervous. Taking a deep breath, still having not noticed Ryan, she turned and walked from the entrance, revealing herself to Gareeku. Gareeku was at this moment speechless, his emotion overwhelming him completely, but finally he spoke, his voice slightly shaky. Falina, so it is she.

The two then dived into each other’s arms and it was there that they stayed for a few minutes, embracing each other tightly. This brought a smile to Ryan’s face, Katsumoto slowly moving over to his son and placing his arm around his sons shoulder, them both exchanging a smile. After gathering himself together Gareeku turned to Ryan to introduce Falina to him, Falina interrupting him and directing her speech towards him. Bowing his head Ryan showed his respect to the angel. “Likewise Falina, I’m honourd to have met you.”

After them having exchanged a few words Gareeku then turned back towards Ryan and spoke. Giving a small nod Ryan replied. “A thank you is not needed for if your happy then everything I intended to do I have done. Your happy I’m happy my friend.”
Softly patting Ryan’s shoulder Katsumoto stepped forward and spoke directly to Falina. [Glow=teal,2,300] “We must depart now Falina, there is business we need to take care of.” [/glow] turning to his son Katsumoto placed a hand upon his shoulder again. [Glow=teal,2,300] “I must warn you, both of you in fact…” [/glow] he said, pausing while he looked towards Gareeku quickly to let him know he was also directing this towards him. [Glow=teal,2,300] “Soon there may be a great trouble upon Dragonia, one that could threaten the very existence of the Dragonian race…both of you, be prepared.” [/glow]

With everything said and done Ryan gave his father a soft nod, and Katsumoto moved back over towards the doorway to the entrance room of the Dojo. He spoke, not even turning around. [Glow=teal,2,300] “Falina we must leave. It was nice to finally meet you in person Gareeku…” [/glow] with that said he moved into the darkness of the room and faded away, only a few last words echoing out into the courtyard. [Glow=teal,2,300] “and baby blue, look after my son for me.” [/glow]

[Gareeku]

Listening closely, Gareeku took in what Katsumoto had to say about a coming threat and nodded his head in acknowledgement, Falina also nodding her head slightly, a sign that he was right. Hearing Ryan's father's last words, Gareeku looked at Ryan and grinned. "Don't worry, i'll see to it he doesn't get into any mischief" the warrior said, laughing slightly. [glow=yellow,2,300]"I too must go now, Gareeku"[/glow] Falina said softly. Even though he didn't want admit it, Gareeku knew she was right, and so they embraced in one last hug and one last kiss. [glow=yellow,2,300]"I love you."[/glow]

"I love you too" Gareeku replied softly, a small smile on his face as he watched her walk towards the door. Turning back, Falina smiled. [glow=yellow,2,300]"Take care of my Baby Blue for me, Ryan. It was an honour to finally meet the son of Katsumoto"[/glow] With that, Falina walked through the door, her heavenly glow slowly fading to nothing as she left the mortal plane. Continuing to stare at the doorway in which she walked through, Gareeku smiled, one last tear trickling down his face as he looked on. "Thank you" Gareeku said softly, turning back to Ryan with a smile.

However, it was then that Gareeku remembered Katsumoto's words, speaking of a "great trouble". His facial expression becoming more stern, Gareeku spoked again. "Judging by what your father said, Ryan, we should prepare ourselves. This will most likely a difficult time ahead of us" the blue-tailed saiyan said.

[Ryan - Loki]

With Katsumoto’s final words he had managed to embarrass Ryan, without actually being there this time it seemed. Heh…you just can’t help yourself, can you father? Ryan asked within his thoughts.

Shortly after he finally moved his head to look upon Gareeku and Falina but she had already moved towards the doorway herself. Turning she glanced towards Gareeku one last time before then directing her attention towards Ryan, for the second and last time, asking him to look after Gareeku for her. “I shall honourable Arc Angel Falina.” He said, glancing a grin towards Gareeku. With his words now having left his lips Falina turned and walked through the doorway that Katsumoto had just moments ago, leaving the material world once more and returning back into a kingdom of great beauty.

Ryan continued to watch the doorway for a few moments longer, only hearing Gareeku’s thanks before finally turning to face him, a smile upon his face. It wasn’t more than a few seconds that the topic of some of Katsumoto’s last words came into the conversation. “Indeed.” Ryan said while nodding. “Father has an odd sense of humour. He often warns of danger but never anything more, leaving me and everyone else to learn from the situations at hand…how I miss him sometimes.” Ryan said, smiling once more as he quickly glanced towards the sky again.

Looking off towards the kitchen once more Ryan remembered that he and Gareeku were not alone in the dojo. “Jin and Gi! I’m sure they would have liked to have seen Falina once more…as well as her seeing your son.” Ryan gave a slight sigh. “Soon enough I’ll request another visit for them, if you would like Gareeku.”

[Gareeku]

Turning to Ryan, Gareeku smiled. "Thank you, Ryan, that would be wonderful" Gareeku said with a smile. It was then that a knock on the front door was suddenly heard, taking the blue-tailed saiyan somewhat by surprise. "I'll be right back...wonder who this could be..." Gareeku said as he made his way to the front door. Before opening it, he suddenly sensed the energies that were behind it. Smiling, he noticed that one belonged to none other that Tiraicho, his former pupil. The other, however, was also familar, one had he hadn't come into contact for at least a year or two. Opening the door, he looked down and smiled at the young boy standing before him.

"Hiya Sensei!" Tiraicho said happily.
"Hello again, Tiraicho. Its good to see you" Gareeku replied, a smile of his own on his face. Looking up, he found who the second energy signal belonged to. He knew this woman, as he had accompanied her into battle against the dark mirror's minions, as well as meeting her again during the Esperanza tournament. She looked exactly the same as she did before, except now, oddly enough, she now sported two pairs of white wings. "Hai dhara! yd'c cu kuut du caa iuo ekeyn! bmaeca, lusa un yn!!" Gareeku said happily while letting them inside, remembering that the woman could only speak dragonian. In fact, Gareeku wasn't even sure that she actually had a name.

[Shei'ki\Agatha]

The woman smiled brightly, her wings fluffering and folding more tightly to her body, acting like a sort of living cloak that covered her from her shoulders down, giving her a sort of mysterious look. At first, she thought only Gareeku was there, a most joyous sight indeed as she automatically made the connection between comrade and friend like clockwork. She smiled, her slightly longer ears flicking expressively as she made a ^ - ^ kind of face, calking her head just slightly at Gareeku as she stepped inside his Dojo. It was then she noticed a second person she knew's energy signature.. She looked up with her big blue eyes, falling speechless...
"R... Ryan-Cese..." she said qietly, sub-concoiusly reaching up to her chest to feel again the scar on her otherwise flawless body, beneath the surface of the dress and bandages beneath that. Memories of that fight... they all flooded back again into her mind. The part of her that was still human felt something very special for this man, for he held a piece of her heart... but another side of her wanted to be angry, to lash out at that man... but instead of cofessing her feelings or attacking him outright, she just stood there, dumbfounded and confused, looking quite dopey in fact as she bore this blank expression on her face for a long, akward second.
Then... something she did not expect happened to her. She felt happy...! So happy, tears welled in her eyes very suddenly as her face crumpled a little, and she ran forward to wrap her arms tightly around him, just bawling with joy into the samurai's chest. "Ryan-Cese!!" she wept, her wings drooping as she clung to him so tightly. In a flash of anger she clenched her fist and brought it against Ryan's armored breast on the bottom of the hand, the blow not even enough to cause a vibration in his armor let alone hurt him any... She hit him again, and sunk to her knees, sobbing hard. Never before had she felt such a curious mixture of rage, love, and pure joy at simply seing someone.
Considering the ammount of conflicting emotions she had about this man, she took the shock of seeing him again... rather well! Regardless, she knew right then she would never let him out of her sight again -- even if she had to beat all earthly sense out of him to do it.

[Ryan - Loki]

Gareeku accepted Ryan’s premature offer for another request, although it wouldn’t be exactly that second, but before the two could talk on the subject more or even return back to the subject of his fathers warning a knock upon the front door of the dojo echoed out through the courtyard. With a hint of sharpness in his movement Ryan turned his head in the direction of the front door, which he couldn’t actually see due to the angle he was currently standing in. Ryan heard the surprise in Gareeku’s voice that they had visitors, and returning a glance towards Gareeku Ryan watched as his friend moved off towards the door to see who was calling.

As Gareeku moved closer towards the door the mysteriousness of the visitor, or visitors, and their intensions began to roll around in Ryan’s mind. Usually he wouldn’t have been this quick to jump to such conclusions towards strangers but considering what his father and Falina had only just warned him and Gareeku of everyone and everything had to be taken into consideration. As each second passed Ryan’s right hand inched closer and closer towards his side and his blades, only when he finally reached there something stuck his memory. He had placed them down upon the floor within the kitchen.

By this point Gareeku had made he’s way to the door and had opened it, it creaking as it opened. Anyone else wouldn’t have heard what was being said, being that there was a good bit of distance between the courtyard and the entrance room, but Ryan wasn’t just anyone, and he could hear everything perfectly. Almost as soon as the door opened a young boys voice rang out through the silence of the air. Gareeku soon replied to the young boy calling him by the name of Tiraicho, a name that Ryan had never heard before, but then Gareeku spoke to someone else, spoke to someone else in Dragonian.

Whoever Gareeku had spoken to he had received no reply, whether or not it was the person being rude and ignoring Gareeku or that they were speaking through body-language he didn’t know, but soon enough a second voice broke the silence through the air, a voice that not only spoke of his name but also suddenly sparked a memory within Ryan’s mind. The semi-finals of the tournament a few years ago, but it couldn’t be. “I know that voice…” Ryan muttered to himself.

Without much warning a figure ran out from the entrance room and towards him. There she was, exactly the same as the last time he saw her those years back in the tournament, although now she sported two pairs of white-feathered wings flowing behind her as she ran; much like Katsumoto and Falina had yet different at the same time. Upon reaching Ryan, who was quite taken back by her sudden appearance after so long, she wrapped her arms around him quite literally sobbing into him as she hit his chest. Emotions were running fast and furious through her, this Ryan could tell. Feelings of joy mixed with feelings of rage, possibly even slight hatred. Ryan understood how this felt only too well.

With a look of bemusement upon his face Ryan slowly placed his arms around her, looking down at her. “My lady…gah, excuse me. Si Meti, yd hec paan duu munk cynla uor bedhc mecd lruccat ent va tytn'd berd yn e kuut cydoedyun....e dhuocent ebumukyca jur dha beyn y bod iuo dhruokh, bhicylem, sandem...ur cbyrydoem…” Ryan said in his native tongue of Dragonian. It had been some time since he had spoken this language but much like a bicycle, once you learned how you never forgot.

[Gareeku]

Looking on at the unfolding events, Gareeku smiled slightly to himself; it seemed the two of them had history with each other. Gareeku was just about to say something when he suddenly sensed it. A group of ki signatures were moving fast towards their location, seemingly from above. Stepping back out into the courtyard, the blue-tailed saiyan looked up, and to his surprise, saw a group of shooting stars streaking through the sky, seemingly getting close and closer. When their true form came into view, Gareeku was even more surprised and quite a bit curious, as the shooting stars were in fact spaceships. Small and spherical in shape, the space pods roared past, very close to the ground, only just missing the roof of the dojo.

A few moments later, a series of loud booms were heard, Gareeku assuming that it was the sounds of the space pods' impact into the ground. Looking back at the other three with a raised eyebrow, many thoughts were racing through the warriors mind. It was then that Tiraicho also stepped out into the courtyard.
"Sensei, what was that?" Tiraicho asked, confusion evident on the boy's face. Gareeku was just about to reply when suddenly, from seemingly out of nowhere, a figure suddenly appeared, swinging a boot into Tiraicho, sending the young Dragonian flying through the Dojo's wall, before disappearing again.
"Tiraicho!" Gareeku exclaimed, before another deep voice from his side answered him.

"Dont worry about that shrimp, that's the least of your problems" it said, as Gareeku whirled around to face the owner of the voice. Standing there was a muscular man, about 6 foot in height, dressed in what Gareeku recognised as Saiyan armour. The saiyan's tail was wrapped his waist as the man folded his arms, looking at Gareeku with a smug expression on his face. In actualy, he was not the only new face there. There were also five others, four men and one woman, all saiyans, all wearing different variations of saiyan armour. Looking at Ryan and Agatha, the man, who appeared to be the leader of the group, smirked.
"Heh, what a mixture. A pitiful Dragonian brat, a funny-eared angel, and...my, my...look what we have ourselves here..." the man sneered, the scouter on the side of his face beeping slightly as writing came up on the small screen, the man looking from Ryan and back to Gareeku, noticing his blue tail. "...hahaha, a half-blood and a freak!"

The group of saiyans chuckled in amusement as their findings. "ah well, it does not matter anyway, it seemed these two are the strongest of the group judging by my scouter." the saiyan continued, his scouter once again beeping at more writing came up on its screen. Having heard the commotion, Gi and Jin ran outside to the dojo. "Sensei, what's going on?" Jin asked, naturally confused about the situation. It was then that one of the other saiyans, a bald and short yet powerful-looking man, glanced at the two girls, smirking at his own scouter beeped.
"is that it? pitiful. Why are we een wasting our time here, Shugo?" the man asked the saiyan group leader in a husky voice, referring to the numbers now flashing in his scouter screen before talking to his saiyan soldier comrade
"You know our orders, Korak" Shugo replied calmy.

"who are you, and why are you here?" Gareeku asked finally in a calm voice of his own, a facial expression of upmost seriousness present as he crossed his arms. Looking back at Gareeku, Shugo smirked.
"we came here to check the planet out, just following orders, you understand. Now then, lets see if the half-blood and your freaky-tailed self have any skill" Shugo said, motioning his group to come forward. Three of them faced Ryan, while Shugo, Korak and the female saiyan stood off against Gareeku.

Gi and Jin were about to step up beside their blue-tailed sensei when his stuck his hand out at them, signalling them to stop.
"Stay back you two, this is mine and Ryan's fight" Gareeku said in a slightly commanding tone.
"But sensei, surely you and Ryan dont mean to fight them by yourselves!" Gi said in a concerned tone.
"That is exactly what I am saying Gi" Gareeku replied calmly.
"but Sensei, why?" Ji asked, somewhat confused. Staying quiet for a couple of seconds, Gareeku continued to stare his opponents down, a smirk now forming on his face as he spoke again, shifting his body into a fighting stance as he beckoned his opponents to "bring it". "call it a "Saiyan pride" thing.

[Shei'ki\Agatha]

The woman listened to Ryan's words, lifing her head and calking it a little, sniffling softly as he spoke. But... as she was about to reply to him, her ears perked suddenly. Her wings fluttered, and she listened hard... it was the sound of a large form...

"Sensei, what was that?"

The woman's eyes widened as she heard the sound of moving air.
"Tiraicho!!" she cried out in her thoughts, just in time to hear him being kicked. As the man called her a funny eared angel, she snarled, flaring her smaller wings. Faster than normal eyes could possibly follow, she had stood, the world moving in slow motion to her. Her aura ignited, and she moved without even so much as a thought. She was fast... damn fast. To herself, her speed was completely normal: it merely felt like everthing else was terribly slow. She noted how rediculous the arrogant speech of the saiyans that had so rudely barged in sounded when slowed so much.
The angel's arms began to glow gold, in stark contrast to the glow of her silver aura. As soon as the glow ignited, two long crescent like blades, glowing like golden crystal, appeared in each hand, two-bladed weapons which had blades 3 feet long each one. She maneuvered in the tight space like a master, not touching a thing, moving faster than the speed of sound. As soon as she had lashed out with the blades from the side of the Saiyan standing in front of Gareeku, she blew past him, staring in that second she made eye contact with the man with a look that was colder than winter, emotionless and compassionless. She was trying to kill him.
Regardless, she did not linger: her crescent blades dissappeared back into her hands, and forcing herself to move even faster, she could see Tiraicho, about to smack hard into the wall and hard ground. She bit her bottom lip, and moved behind him. Her arms reflexively wrapped around the little dragonian, her wings flaring to create a barrier that encompassed the both of them completely. He had a lot of momentum... she'd be taking his hit, that much she knew. She let go of the angel genesis, colliding with the wall and indenting into it, wincing and grunting softly, taking the entirety of Tiraicho's impact, her soft body the perfect brace to absorb the blow. Falling to her knees from the wall, still clutching the boy, she smiled meekly down at him.

[Ryan - Loki]

Everything had happened so fast and so unexpectedly. After at least two years of nothing, not even the slightest energy signal across the entire globe, and this strange and mysterious lady had appeared, almost as if from magic. As they held each other in an embrace of confused emotions something tweaked his senses, something he hadn’t ever felt before, something alien. At first it was nothing more than a faint and distant sound, along with several similar energy signals, but as that sound began to gain in noise it became ever so clear that whatever was making this sound wasn’t so distant anymore; in fact it was almost directly on top of them.

It was then that Ryan suddenly glanced up towards Gareeku, whom at this point had slowly stepped out into the courtyard and had begun to look up into the sky above Ryan’s head. Following in suit Ryan also looked up towards the sky and instantly his eyes were filled with a site he had not expected; Space Pods. . Completely spherical in shape they moved through the atmosphere and the sky like a speeding meteors and soon enough passed directly over the roof of the dojo, only just missing the structure in the process, and crashed not too far away with thunderous impacts.

It wasn’t a second or two after that the action, unexpectedly, kicked off. Tiraicho, who was evidently confused, inquired to his sensei on what those object were and almost as soon as he had done a foot appeared from nowhere and slammed hard into the young boys gut before anyone could even make a flinch. Instantly Ryan had let go of the lady, who up until this point was still within his arms, and made a sharp move towards Tiraicho but it was in vein as within a blink of an eye the very lady who he had been embracing was off on the move.

Her appearance had seemed to change yet again but this time only her arms had changed, now glowing a golden colour, as two hemispherical blades seemed to form almost out of nowhere; two bladed weapons with blades of at least three feet at either end. Deadly. She was moving with speed Ryan had truly never though her capable of moving in. It seemed that within the last few years a lot more than her slight appearance changes had changed.

At this point the owner of said foot had appeared in fully once more, showing his face rather than playing games. Actually a total of six of them had shown themselves instead of hiding; five men and one woman who were all wearing different forms of armour, there tails were wrapped their waists. The leader however was an extremely muscular man who stood at roughly six foot in height. As the man folded his arms he looked on at Gareeku with a smug expression upon his face, but Ryan’s attention wasn’t upon these intruders right now, it was upon the lady.

With hardly any space to manoeuvre through she simply dealt her blows, which would have seemed fatal if contact was made, and then moved past the Saiyan that stood directly in front of Gareeku, the one doing the talking. Now past their opponents she seemed to focus her attention upon Tiraicho, who by this point was flying directly towards one of the many solid walls of the dojo. Using her extreme speed the lady somehow managed to move in front of Tiraicho, catch him and take the full force of the impact against the wall for him. Looking up towards Ryan and Gareeku after the dust settled, with a weak smile upon her face, she seemed all right.

Now his full attention turned towards the Saiyan intruders just in time to hear the comments their leader made about everyone, taking especial care in the ones directed towards Gareeku and himself. Instantly the rest of the Saiyan group began to chuckle, their ignorance over the situation and their arrogance pouring from their very veins.

Suddenly, but not surprisingly, Gi and Jin emerged from within the kitchen area in bemusement and almost instantly another of the Saiyan’s, bald and a lot shorter yet also extremely powerful, spoke, directing what seemed be some sort of scanning device upon his head towards them. He then spoke, naming one of the Saiyan’s as Shugo , but which one was he? When the leader replied to the name the answer to that question became oh so clear. The leader then named the bald Saiyan as Korak . Good…the more I know about you will be your demise. Ryan thought to himself.

Gareeku finally addressed the Saiyan intruders with a clam and collective voice, his arms crossed as he waited for a reply. Shugo quickly replied, seemingly dismissing his actions as nothing within his words, and then it came, a challenged aimed directly towards Gareeku and himself. At this point both Ryan and Gareeku’s faces were dictations of complete and utter discipline and seriousness. Not only had these Saiyan’s intruded in on them but they had also dishonoured everyone present as well as attacking an unaware opponent, whom was a young boy. They would suffer the consequences of their actions.

It was then, after a few seconds of anticipating silence, that Gareeku spoke once again only this time he aimed his speech towards Jin and Gi warning them to stay back and out of the upcoming battle. Gi automatically replied with concern, the odds seemed against her sensei and his friend, but Gareeku confirmed what he had already said, leaving Jin in question why.

A few seconds passed where nothing had been said, then suddenly Gareeku slipped into a fighting position and beckoned their opponents to ‘bring it’ while finally explaining everything to Jin and Gi in a few short words. This was when Ryan finally spoke; Slowly moving forward from his position. “You come into this home, desecrate the very things that it stands for, you attack a young boy without warning, you disgrace the Dragonian race with insults, and you dishonour myself and my friends…both old and new…” Ryan finally stopped moving forward, now standing slightly sideways on towards the Saiyan’s and in level with Gareeku.
His long flowing black hair had now fallen in front of his headband and his eyes, and after waiting for a few seconds in silence Ryan softly moved his right hand up towards his eyes and brushed the hair behind his right ear. “You have all forfeit your life’s…prepare to meet your demise.”
