Calm before the storm...

[Gareeku]

Hearing Ryan speak of the saiyan intruders meeting their demise, one of the saiyans facing off against Ryan, a spiky-haired bearded warrior, smirked.
"We shall soon see about that, Half-Breed..." he said in a gruff voice, cracking his knuckles as he spoke. Meanwhile, Gareeku and Shugo squared off against each other as the female saiyan and Korak stood slightly behind their leader, the group leader and the blue-tailed warrior staring into each other's eyes, trying to figure each other out.
"That Half-Breed and this blue-tailed saiyan seem pretty tough, Tora. I think we shouldn't take them lightly..." Korak muttered to his female comrade.
"oh, lighten up Korak, we can some fun with these two. After all, they are pretty cute..." the female saiyan, Tora, replied with a smirk, her eyes glancing from Ryan to Gareeku. Rolling his eyes, Korak looked back at Shugo and Gareeku squaring off against each other.
"In choosing to aid and protect these Dragonian scum, you must die, Blue-tailed freak..." Shugo said, his voice still clam and he cracked his knuckles.
"It wont be me who'll be doing the dieing today, i'm afraid..." Gareeku replied, his body perfectly still like a statue, ready for the oncoming fight.

Shugo was just about to reply when he felt something trickle down his nose. Lifting his hand to see what it was, the saiyan squad leader found his fingers covered in a crimson liquid; blood. Agatha had in fact managed to catch him with the edge of her blade, a cut stretching from the top of his forehead to just above his mouth being evidence of this. It was then that Gareeku took his chance while Shugo was distracted. Powering forward as his aura erupted violently into life, Gareeku was upon his brown-tailed opponent in a split second, his movement so fast that the eye would not be able to track him. Shugo suddenly looked up to see Gareeku's fist thunder into his face, the saiyan squad leader yelling out in pain as his body was propelled violently backwards, tearing up the ground for a few meters as his body made contact with the ground.

Watching this happen with a good deal of surprise at how fast Gareeku moved, Tora and Korak ignited there own auras and attacked, their speed impressive by any means as they charged at their blue-tailed foe. However, this would soon prove to not be enough, as Gareeku calmly watched the two of them advance, his body shifting into a defensive stance as he did so. It was then that Korak made his attack, teleporting behind Gareeku as he aimed a chop to the back of the blue-tailed warrior's neck. Feeling his opponent's ki signature behind him and the distrubance in the air as Korak preformed his chop, as well as taking into account the advancement of Tora, a plan formed in Gareeku's mind in an instant.

Whirling round, Gareeku put his arm up and caught Korak's arm, gripping it tightly at his stared deep into the attacker's eyes, Korak's own eyes filled with surprise and even slight fear as he stared back. By gripping Korak's arm, the saiyan intruder could now feel the full extent of Gareeku's power, and it scared him. Feeling Tora's energy signature behind him, Gareeku whirled round again and hurled Korak into Tora, their two heads thundering into each other as a loud crack was heard.
_____________________________________________

Looking up at Agatha, Tiraicho smiled weakly and got back up. Even though he was just a boy, Tiraicho was indeed made of strong stuff and had quickly composed himself, although his vision was slightly blurry from the unexpected attack. Helping Agatha to her feet, Tiraicho smiled.
dheng iuo, jryant. Iuo gnuv, vhan y vec hyd, y luomt jaam dhed koi'c jomm buvar" Tiraicho said, still smiling as Gareeku made his move on Shugo. "ent y len cei dhed dhuca koic era kunne kad dhayr poddc gylgat" Tiraicho continued, watching the unfolding fight with a grin on his face.
_____________________________________________

Gareeku stared on with a focussed expression on his face as Korak and Tora clutched theirs heads in pain. It was then that Gareeku felt another presence behind, whirling round to face Shugo. However, if doing so, his face was met with Shugo's fist, the saiyan squad leader landing a hard hitting punch to Gareeku's jaw, causing the blue-tailed warrior to jerk to the side, his waist ttwisting as he kept his legs firmly on the ground. Satisfied with his attack's success, Shugo stayed in his position as he chuckled slightly. However, this look of satisfaction was soon replaced with one of surprise when Gareeku's eyes opened, looking back at Shugo grimly.
"Lucky punch" Gareeku muttered, before suddenly hurling his fist forward, thundering into the side of Shugo's head as it sent him flying back through on the dojo's walls.

Having recovered somewhat from the blows, Tora and Korak got back up and, with his auras blazing furiously, charged at Gareeku again. A fast and furious fightfight then ensued, Korak and Tora sending into blow after blow at Gareeku, trying to land vital hits. However, this was not to be, as the blue-tailed warrior, used his superior speed to block and parry each attempted punch and kick, his own aura burning around him furiously. It was then that Tora yelled in fury, swinging her arm in recklessly in frustration. Grabbing it, Gareeku looked her in the eyes, the female saiyan seeing the focussed and determined look in his, and knew then she was finished. Gareeku then, raised his leg as high as he could and then sent his heel thundering down, smashing into the back of Tora's skull. The force of the blow was so great, that the force ruptured her nervous, cut off the blood flow and ruptured her brain into immediate shutdown, killing her instantly.

Observing this happen, Korak yelled out in rage and frustration, furiously swinging wild and reckless punches at Gareeku sending his fists and feet back at Torak's attacking limbs, cancelling his blows out, before suddenly sending his own fist in. The punch struck, a loud thud being heard, as Gareeku's fist buried itself into Korak's stomach, leaving him gasping for air as lent on Gareeku, struggling to get his breath back.
"Forgive me..." Gareeku whispered softly into Korak's ear, the reason he said this being because of Tora's death, and what would very soon be Korak's. Sending his arm in for a powerful palm strike, Gareeku's hand thundered into Korak's forehead, again the force of the blow enough to rupture his brain into shutdown, killing the brown-tailed saiyan instantly.

"You blue tailed freak! i'll kill you!!" a voice shouted in fury behind Gareeku. Turning round, the blue-tailed saiyan observed Shugo getting back up, his face covered in blood from both Agatha's and Gareeku's attacks.
"As i said before, it is not me who shall being doing the dieing today" Gareeku replied calmly, a tone of upmost seriousness also present in the warrior's voice. Yelling at the top of his voice in fury, Shugo charging forward, his aura burning like a white inferno. Perparing himself, Gareeku also yelled as his powered up, his own white aura building in size and intensity as he readied himself for Shugo's attacks. However, this fistfight would end very shortly as Gareeku snet a blistering barrage of punches and kickas into various parts of Shugo's body, beating the brown-tailed saiyan almost senseless, before Gareeku delivered the final blow, sneding his crashing into Shugo's gut, his hand releasing energy once it had found its target as a ki beam erupted, blowing a hole through Shugo's stomach.

_____________________________________________


Once all the intruding saiyans had been defeated, Gareeku turned to Ryan with a smile, before turning to the fallen body of Shugo, who was in fact alive, now chuckling slightly as he slowly died.
"hehehe...this...is not the end..." Shugo managed to say weakly, a smirk on his face as he laid there on the ground.
"what are you talking about? are there more of you?" Gareeku said in a commanding tone, walking up to and looking down at the fallen Shugo.
"oh, much much more...your Dragonian friends...are coming to an end, Blue-tailed freak...soon there will be thousands of us...and we shall destroy you once and for all...my scouter on my face...is also a communications device...my superiors now know of you, Half-blood and freak...your days are numbered..." Shugo explained, barely managing to get the words out as he laid there dying.
"Why are you doing this?! what have the Dragonians ever done to you?!" Gareeku asked, no, demanded, not understanding the reasons for the saiyans' attack.
"Because of the Dragonians...a much loved figure of ours is now dead...if the Dragonians want a fight...we'll give it to them...have a happy apocalypse...hahaha..." Shugo managed to say, laughing weakly as he lay there. Suddenly a louding roaring was heard from up above, and looking up with horror, Gareeku saw them..."...oh no..."

Thousands upon thousands of Saiyan space pods were streaking aross the sky, shooting off in all direction, raining down on the planet, landing all across the globe. To Gareeku and the others, this could only mean one thing; a war had now begun, and an invasion was occuring. The saiyan armies had arrived and were intent on making sure they ruled this planet...

[Ryan - Loki]

It was only a matter of seconds after Ryan had finished speaking that one of the Saiyan’s, one actually who was yet to speak, finally spoke, cracking his knuckles all the while. He had spiky jet-black hair as well as a beard to match in colour, was average height, roughly six foot tall, and was built like a brick shithouse, to put it bluntly. He seemed to be accompanied by another two of the Saiyan’s, two of the men as the woman and other two men had already begun to move on Gareeku. Three on three…seems fair enough. Ryan could hear the voices of the other Saiyan’s as they spoke near Gareeku, especially the woman Saiyan who commented on them being cute, but this wasn’t a time for idol flattery, it was a time for battle.

Before he knew it Gareeku was already in the midst of battle with he’s three Saiyan opponents, but Ryan was still waiting for he’s three to attack, or to even make any sort of effort at all. They knew nothing of him except that he was a ‘half-breed’ , as they liked to call him, and what he looked like in appearance, but what they knew he also knew about them only Ryan had clear advantage; he could read them like an open book.

“Men…pan out.” the bearded Saiyan stated. Almost instantly the other two Saiyan’s spread out as they circled Ryan muttering to each other as they did so, almost as if they believed he wouldn’t be able to hear them.
“…Pota, Jonton, should we alpha one or beta six him?…” an extremely tall and skinny looking Saiyan muttered to the group.
“Beta six…beta six…beta six…” Jonton began repeating over and over again.
Sinion gave a short laugh at Jonton’s behaviour. “Heh, well it seems that Jonton’s all up for Beta six…I myself prefer the idea of Alpha one.”
“Beta six…beta six…beta six… beta six…beta six…” Jonton continued to repeat, it almost turning into a quiet chant.
“No Sinion, we will not underestimate our opponent…we use beta six first…then if that fails then we go to plan alpha one. Hah, if that fails…how ridiculous.” Pota exclaimed. Slowly all three of the Saiyan warriors began to circle Ryan, always in constant motion to deceive the samurai from what angle an attack would be coming from. Standard multiple numbers battle tactics.

Silence then fell between the three Saiyan’s. The calm before the storm… Ryan thought to himself, but it wasn’t to last long as Pota finally spoke, that husky voice breaking through the silence. “Now!” Up until that point Ryan had merely been standing there looking in the same direction as he had been from the beginning, not having even flinched or moved a muscle, but now the time had come to act; Pota’s sudden outburst signalling that. …And so the rain pours.

All of a sudden all three of the Saiyan warriors charged in at Ryan from all sides. One from directly in front of him, one from his left and one from his right.
“Beta six!”
“Game on!”
“For Saiyan’s!”
The attack was swift and with speed that would rival even some of the best warriors of Dragonia, the mediocre ones that is. It was the sudden surprise of an all out attack at the same time that caused this stunt to work, going against Saiyan nature. As they all closed in on Ryan he knew it was going to come down to fighting on instinct rather than his thoughts to get him out of this one in one piece. Sinion and Jonton had come at Ryan from the sides whereas the leader of this extremely small platoon of three, Pota, had gone for Ryan from the front. It would be him who feel the true meaning of pain first.

Pota, knowing Ryan had completely vision over his movements was lying his attack on working on the account it would be a surprise attack and on the account of his speed, it seems he had underestimated his opponent anyway, at any rate it was for this reason that he went in on the attack with his knee raised, aiming to land it directly into Ryan’s midsection. With the force and speed behind the attack it would have almost been enough to crush some vital organs but he hadn’t counted on a counterattack. Ryan you see still hadn’t moved, not one inch, as he was waiting for the opportune moment; here it was. As Pota reached within a few inches from making contact Ryan slammed down his hands, with the utmost force, instantly forcing Pota’s knee, as well as himself, to stop dead in their movement. This is where the counterattack came in to play. With extreme speed, and in one fluent motion from the block, Ryan quickly threw up his arms and slammed them instantly into Pota’s jaw sending the arrogant Saiyan flying up into the air, a loud groan of pain echoing out from his mouth.

Seeing what had just happened, and also moving at the same time, it was not that Ryan had his arms in an upward position that Sinion and Jonton took advantage. Quickly coming in on both sides of Ryan they tightly grabbed a hold of each of his arms, swinging their bodies round his to knee him in the gut where Pota had aimed to and missed. Now Ryan was being held while beaten constantly, two huge knees with extreme force being slammed deep into his midsection again and again and again. By this time Pota had landed down upon the floor not too far in front from the position that Ryan was still in, but now being beaten on. Slowly he pushed himself to his feet and began to wipe himself down, but all the while his face pretty blank from his jaw down. Ryan’s quick counterattack on Ryan had been a dangerous blow, one that had completely broken his jaw. Slowly Pota made his way over towards Ryan and along with Sinion and Jonton began to beat the life out of Ryan, focusing on his gut.

Now having taken his armour off along with his blades at dinner he no longer had any form of protection against this kind of heavy bombardment. He would have to do something now before he sustained any long-term damage, although something told him hat it may have been too late for that as suddenly, as although individually they were weak together they created great strength as when all three of them slammed against his gut at once, a spatter of blood flew from his mouth. Arrghhh…internal bleeding… It would have to be now.

Now Sinion and Jonton were simply holding while Pota continued the bombardment of physical attacks to his gut, each punch causing more and more damage to the already damaged insides than the last. I’m better than this…Arrghhh…now! and with that Ryan suddenly used the force that Sinion and Jonton were holding his arms with to lift the bottom half of his body up into the air, above Pota’s punch. Because of the momentum Pota lost his feet, due to the force of the punch surprisingly not having anything to connect against, and stumbled forward in-between the other two Saiyan’s.

Using the momentum that Ryan had already gained from lifting his body upwards he slammed all his bodyweight forward and used it, along with the momentum, to flip both Sinion and Jonton forward and releasing him from their grip. Sinion, Jonton and Ryan all rolled onto the floor in a similar direction whereas Pota stumbled and fell onto his face in the opposite direction. Landing on his face hadn’t done him any good, the pain actually causing him to become unable to move for the post part, but that wouldn’t last long and Ryan knew this. Rolling still Ryan used the momentum of his roll to partially end up upon one knee looking on at the other two Saiyan’s. With his left arm Ryan cushioned his stomach and with his right he slowly lifted himself up to his feet, slouching slightly due to the pain.

Slowly Jonton and Sinion both stood up and grinned at each other, Sinion turning back towards Ryan as he spoke once more. “Heh…seems we’ve got the upper-hand boys. You know half-breed…both of your parents were a disgrace, whether it be your Dragonian whore of a mother or bastard of a father for being, well Dragonian…or it being your whore of a mother or bastard of a father for disgracing the Saiyan race for shaking up with a filthy Dragonian.”
“Hehehe…beta six…beta six.” Jonton repeated once more.
Almost instantly Ryan’s blood began to boil. This had been the first ever time he had experienced this type of anger for someone or something since all of the evil within him and been dispersed from his body and Loki had been created. He wanted nothing more than to dive over and rip that lousy Saiyan apart limb from limb. “…My mother was not a whore…you Saiyan scum.” Ryan forced himself to say as he also then forced himself to stand up completely straight, letting go of his stomach in the process and simply fighting off the pain. “Both… both of you come over here and you say that to my face…cowards.”

It had been that last word that had lit the fuse within the Saiyan’s, the word coward , as almost instantly Sinion came darting over towards Ryan, Jonton not far behind. In a blind rage Sinion threw a punch aimed directly at Ryan’s nose, weaving his head to the side Ryan easily avoided the punch and then followed up by grabbing a hold of his arm, spinning around behind him and with one fail swoop breaking his neck. Now onto Jonton. With Sinion’s body falling to the floor like a lifeless rag doll Jonton dived forward at Ryan, rage visible within his eyes, as he lifted both arms in the air to slam them down upon Ryan’s head in a double axe handle. Quickly spinning around once more to face Jonton Ryan raised his right first, extended all of his fingers, and his thumb, out and jabbed at his throat ripping out his voice box. It was a quick movement, not visible by the naked eye, but Jonton soon fell to the floor, lifeless like his counterpart.

Looking over towards Gareeku Ryan suddenly fell to the floor, noticing that he had already taken care of his Saiyan opponents, but one was still alive, the one who had attacked Tiraicho earlier on; Shugo. Shugo then began to explain with his last breaths the situation that Dragonian was soon going to be in, and it didn’t sound good at all, as well as the fact that the scouter upon his head had been recording and sending everything he could see back to his higher officials and now both Gareeku and himself would be prime targets of the Saiyan army; A traitorous freak and a stinking half-breed. It was almost as if with his dieing breath he had given the go-ahead for the attack as almost a second later thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Saiyan space pods began to rain through the planets atmosphere, all in different directions. A war had begun.

With everything now taken care of there was only one more problem left for Ryan to deal with, Pota. Ryan slowly pushed himself up off the ground once more, turned around and began to make his was over towards him, stumbling slightly as he did so, but upon finally reaching him Pota was in the process of finally pushing himself up from the ground; so of course Ryan helped him. Leaning down slightly Ryan picked him up by the scruff of his armour, just allowing him to see the lifeless bodies of his five Saiyan partners before speaking into his scouter. “…You will dishonour the name of the Dragonian race no more...you want a war Saiyan’s then you’ll get one.” and with that Ryan dropped Pota back down against the floor, giving the scouter one last look, Pota groaning in pain from not being able to speak, before lifting and slamming his foot down hard upon his face, destroying the scouter and killing him in one blow.

With a slight sigh and groan Ryan turned back towards Gareeku, half saluted and then fell back onto the floor, partially resting himself upon Pota’s now dead body. There were hard times a head; a war was about to begin. The very existence of Dragonia, the Dragonian race and all whom lived on the planet hung in the balance. Only at the end would they knew the true outcome.

[Shei'ki\Agatha]

The angel stood, striding between the bodies of the fallen warriors, hell in her eyes as she at last reached the one who had kicked Tiraicho... hurt Gareeku. Shugo. He looked at her, and she at him. Deep within the angel... something snapped, and all emotion left her face... all horror at the transgression faded from her eyes. She became very suddenly very, very cold... his scouter was going insane as slowly, her aura drifted upward as she raised her strength to a terrible ammount. Faster than the wounded warrior could even react, his head was somehow in her hand. Only then could he work out what happened. She had actually bent, grabbed, and picked him up, faster than his eyes could possilby follow, only able to process it at all because he was a saiyan. Just then, locked with her eyes, her body changed... this was no angel to him then. This was not even a devil. This creature standing before him was hell.

The abstract thought soon became pain... searing pain throughout his entire body. He was allowed to look down, down to his body. From her sides had come two very strong looking tentaclelike appendages, grasping the hole in his belly. They were hot... singing the flesh... but he could not even scream as her forearm began to glow again. It was then he felt the blade enter his mouth, jutting out suddenly through the back of his head. The pain was incredible, but she would not let him numb to it like one might in such a situation. Then he felt his torso being split, and soon, the tear overtook his head, and he died instantly as his vision turned red. Then, with a pulse of wrath, his body turned to dust, unable to handle the energy she just circulated through it. Through the entire display of horror, she had her wing flared over the doorway... Tiraicho would get no nightmares from seeing that. Just then, when the act was done, her actual conciousness took over once more. Ryan sat there on the ground, and she squeaked, knowing instantly that he was wounded.

"Ryan-Cese!" she cried, and rushed over to him. Without even asking what hurt, she placed her hands on his chest... the catalyst energy would be felt quickly... the internal damage would heal instantly in her touch... As she did this, she then realized that she was, in fact doing that... she was... healing him... the man who scarred her... pierced her heart with his terrble blades. She then realized she did not care... let go of her anger with him... all of her hatred.

"Y majd jur cu munk... Y... Ryan-cese... Y vymm nazar maeza iuo ekeyn..." she said, smiling and cradling his cheek in her hand.

[Gareeku]

As Agatha finished off Shugo, Gareeku continued to look up into the sky, where the saiyan space pods were stilling raining down on Dragonia. Thinking about the certain coming war, Gareeku knew that the Dragonians would have a very tough time. He would have to do whatever it took to aid them in the resistance against these saiyan invaders. Turning to Gi and Jin, Gareeku spoke in a slight authoritative tone, a grim expression
on his face as he did so.

"Gi, Jin, I want you two to take Shinoku and get out of here. Warn the town that there is a coming war, and that they must organise a resistance group to fend off the invaders." Gareeku said, looking down at the dead bodies of the saiyans as he spoke.
"But, Sensei, we can't leave you and your friends! what if something happened to you?" Jin said, concerned for Gareeku and the others.
"Jin, please go! we can handle ourselves, now get out of here! NOW! Gareeku demanded loudly, the two girls not questioning him as they ran back inside. A couple of minutes later, Shinoku was in Gi's arms as they prepared to leave.
"Sensei...all of you...please be careful..." Gi said, a tear trickling down her face at the thought she may never see the man that was like a father to her again.
"Don't worry Gi, we will. Now please, go!" Gareeku replied with a reassuring smile, the two girls then disappearing as they ran out of the dojo and towards the town of Kosaten.

Turning back to the others, a grim expression returned to Gareeku's face.
"Va socd maeza ec cuun ec buccypma. Jrus vhed dhed ceyien ceyt, va era vendat baubma, ent paleoca uj dhyc va socd gaab un dha suza ec dhai sucd mygami gnuv uor muledyun." Gareeku said calmly, speaking in Dragonian so that all of them understood what he said. Heading back inside the dojo for a couple of minutes, Gareeku soon returned with two full pouches, the contents being sensu beans.
"Y es nud cora vhara du haet nuv, pod va socd vern ec seni baubma ec buccypma vydhuod cderdynk e benyl. Va chuomt haet du dha mulem eodhurydyac ent vern dhas uj dha ynzecyun, emdhuokh dhai brupepmi gnuv e mud epuod yd pi nuv." Gareeku said, putting the pouches away in his gi.

[Ryan - Loki]

Shortly after falling to the ground partially upon Pota’s lifeless body Ryan lifted his head up towards the sky to see exactly what Gareeku had been looking at, and to Ryan’s astonishment the site was beyond very belief. Ryan had known what was falling from the sky before he had even looked, the different energy signals of each and every Saiyan quite easily recognised, but feeling something and actually seeing something was completely different. Thousands upon thousands of single space pods were now falling from the skies, each and every one of them looking like a meteor as it moved through the bright blue midday sky. It was extremely disturbing to know that each and every one of those space pods contained a Saiyan warrior quite determined to destroy the Dragonian race as we knew it and to conquer the planet, but at the exact same time Ryan couldn’t help but notice this sites beauty.

“…So this was what you warned us of father?…” Ryan muttered quietly to himself.

Although he had been looking up towards the sky Ryan, being the very precautious person that he was, had his senses constantly monitoring thee environment around him for danger. It was almost second nature now. He hadn’t in fact seen what the lady had done to the Saiyan, who went by the name of Shugo, but he had most certainly felt her movements, and now her movements brought her over towards him.
At this point Gareeku had turned his attention towards Gi and Jin, telling them to take the baby and get out of here. Wise instructions. After little disagreement both Jin and Gi rushing back inside quickly to prepare themselves for travel. It wasn’t long before they returned, maybe two minutes tops, and there was a tearful goodbye and the two girls and the baby fled from the dojo, now out of sight.

At this point Ryan’s head dropped back slightly, him almost losing his balance and falling backwards, but quickly lifting the weight of his body forward Ryan’s head flopped forward once more, him now looking down towards his own legs that lay out in front of him. It was then that Gareeku addressed both him and the lady, in Dragonian on behalf of the lady not yet being able to speak English, before rushing inside the dojo once more, more than likely to prepare himself to depart his home.
With Gareeku gone the lady turned her attention towards Ryan, rushing towards him, placing her hands upon his chest, by this time Gareeku had returned and spoke. Instantly Ryan felt what was going to happen, a sudden rush of something good building up within her body.
He pushed her arm away as he quickly forced himself to half stand, stumbling slight to his right, lifting his head up enough to look at her properly. “Nu…” he spluttered out falling down upon one knee slightly. “…Y heza du jykhd dhyc un si uvn…” he said slowly. Maybe it was through pride or maybe it was to keep his honour intact, whatever the reason was Ryan seemed serious enough.

The lady then spoke to him. He had to reply. “Yd yc duu tenkaruoc jur iuo du pa vydh sa ed dhyc dysa…azari Ceyien verryur vymm pa muugynk jur pudh sicamj ent Keraago…I-Iuo vund pa ceja vydh oc.” His arm had now moved back over his stomach area, almost as if he was trying to hold it so as to lessen the pain, but deep down within his mind he knew that she wasn’t going to listen to a word he said. Shaking his head he spoke once more, this time unknowingly in English. “Arrghhh…what am I saying. I know as well as you do that you wont listen to…to a word I’ve said, you’re coming…whether I like it or not…aren’t you?” It wasn’t until after he said it that he understood that she probably wouldn’t have understood what he had said, but now the moment had passed. Standing himself up fully, with some difficulty, Ryan forced a smile upon his face as he slowly looked between the lady and Gareeku. “The planet is too big and the countries leaders too blinded by power to listen to us, or to join under one baler to defeat the Saiyan threat…” he said with a sigh, mixed small grunt of pain. “It will only be when it’s too late that they finally realise their mistakes…oh yes my friends, this war will be fought but not together as a planet, no…singularly as individuals…” he continued, pausing only for a short second to catch his breath before speaking again. “…We must stop this ourselves.”

[Gareeku]

Gareeku nodded his head upon hearing Ryan's words, muttering the words "damn it..." under his breath before turning to Tiraicho.
"Tiraicho, i want you to go after Gi and Jin and stay with them. Being with Ryan or myself will only result in the likelyhood of you getting hurt" Gareeku said sternly in a commanding voice to his pupil.
"No, Sensei. I'm going with you whether you like or not! I won't let you go against this army that you're a prime enemy of! you have to take me, you're going to need help! please!" Tiraicho said stubbornly, looking into his sensei's eyes with determination.

Gareeku meanwhile now faced an inner struggle. On one hand, Tiraicho was a strong, gifted boy, and so would provide a great help in their struggles. However, the emotions he held did not want to see his pupil; indeed, his clone reincarnate and friend, getting hurt because of him. After a minute of difficultly deliberating the issue, Gareeku made up his mind.
"Ok then...fine. You can come with us, Tiraicho." Gareeku said hesitantly, feeling that he would regret these words later.
"Thank you, Sensei. I won't let you down." Tiraicho said, the determination in his eyes still present.
"Yeah...I know..." Gareeku said with a soft smile, before turning back to Ryan, walking back inside for a minute, Gareeku returned with Ryan's blades, proceeding to walk over and help Ryan remain steady on his feet. Because of the saiyan blood present within him, Gareeku knew that Ryan more than likely had the innate ability of rapid healing, but it still would take a little while.
"Va socd maeza yssatyedami. Nu tuopd dha ceyienc vymm pa erryzynk hara churdmi dhascamzac, sucd mygami cazarmi uodnosparynk oc, saenynk dhed va vund cdent e lhenla azan yj va tu heza cobaryur cbaat ent buvar." Gareeku said sternly.

[Gareeku]

((OOC: and we're finally moving again! lol XD))

"mad'c ku" Gareeku said, still supporting Ryan as he made his way out of the dojo, Tiraicho walking behind him, smiling reassuredly at Agatha. Walking out of the front door, Gareeku looked up to sky and observed the saiyan pods that were still crashing through the atmosphere...strange...it was almost as if they were heading in two different directions. One group was heading southboud, while the other seemed to be heading a southwesterly direction. The conclusion that came to Gareeku's mind was that the saiyan invaders may have had some sort of strategy going; it seemed like the only plausible explanation for this kind of split in the direction of the pods.

Concentrating for a moment, Gareeku sent a telepathic message to Jin.
Jin...Jin, can you hear me? have you alerted the townspeople yet? are their any hostile saiyans on the scene? the warrior called out in his mind.
I can hear you loud and clear sensei. There's no saiyan invaders at the moment, and we've alerted the townsfolk, and before you ask, Shinoku and Gi are fine Jin's voice called back into Gareeku's mind, causing the blue-tailed saiyan to breathe a sigh of relief.
Good, keep on alert and call out to me if you need anything. Take care Gareeku replied, Jin responding with a "take care" of her own, before the saiyan warrior turned to his allies.

Y vend du caa vhed dha ceyienc' yndandyunc era pajura Y cderd gylgynk ecc" Gareeku said, smirking slightly at the end of his suggestion. It was not usually his way, but to him at the moment the saiyans had become hostile for no reason, and Gareeku was determined to find out the reasons for their actions.

[Ryan - Loki]

(OOC: Oh yea! Ryan's Back!)

Gareeku, who was still holding Ryan up at this point, slowly helped him towards and out of the Dojo’s main doorway before looking up towards the sky above; Ryan didn’t need to look towards the sky to know what his eyes would see, but he did at any rate. Slowly but surely the bright blue sky came into view above the horizon, it completely covered in meteor type objects falling from the sky in the far distance. It was a beautiful sight, ironic how such beauty could be so deadly. A Ryan continued to look up towards the sky he listened to Gareeku as he spoke in their native tongue and put forward a plan of actions.
It was true what Gareeku said, the Saiyan space pods seemed to be travelling in two separate directions, south and southwest, and this would most certainly put forward the idea of a strategic attack; but how could they coordinate something like this from so far away? There wasn’t any known Saiyan planets or space centres in this, or the neighbouring, galaxies for that matter. None of this made any sense.

Continuing to look up towards the sky Ryan spoke. “The bulk of the army is landed as we speak…we must have come across nothing more than mere Scouts. ” Slowly he turned his head and looked down towards Gareeku directly next to him. “If what you say is true, and it’s a good assumption that it is, then that’s two, or maybe even more, strategic attacks upon the planet at once…more than likely with a stronger force than what we have just encountered.” He said, a sigh leaving his lips as he looked back towards the sky and the falling ships. “This may be a battle that we cannot win.”

[Gareeku]

Listening to Ryan speak, Gareeku held the same grim expression as he continued to watch the saiyan pods streak across the sky. Beautiful, but deadly. Like Ryan, Gareeku also wondered where the pods were coming from. To his knowledge there were no saiyan settlements near Dragonia, and why they attacked so suddenly seemed to make no sense. Putting this to the back of his mind, Gareeku listened to the rest of what Ryan said and nodded in agreement.

"It may be a battle we cannot win my friend, but Dragonia is my home, and I will defend it with my life" Gareeku replied calmly, not taking his eyes off of the saiyan pods as a look of determination appeared on his face.

[Ryan - Loki]

Ryan listened intently to everything Gareeku had to say and it made him laugh a little, after all he had sounded exactly like someone he knew extremely well; himself. Placing his feet against the floor properly Zack stretched his right arm, the one that was not around Gareeku’s neck, and clicked his neck as he brought his vision back down level to his body. “I may not be of pure Dragonian blood…but Dragonia is my home, much like it is yours Gareeku…and anyone has the right to protect their home.” Ryan said slowly before turning his head towards Gareeku and patting his shoulder on the opposite side of him. “I will honour my people and defend the planet as I and they did against the armies that became the end of our way of life…we will defend our planet from this threat and the people we care for may become injured or even perish…we ourselves may too, but at least we will take down a few on the way!” Ryan exclaimed, raising and clenching his fist as he grinned.

As he said that though he slipped into a quick stream of thought, it visible upon his face, before turning his head to look back towards Agatha and Tiraicho. “I am not so certain it is wise for you two to come…I know you wish to help protect the planet but there will be many dangers ahead, great and powerful dangers, and it may mean certain death…” Ryan said sternly; he then turned back towards Gareeku once more. “And friend…” he began, taking a step away from him before turning to face him once more, holding his hand across his stomach. “I know you wish to run off and save the planet as I do, I can see it in your Saiyan eyes, but you have much to loose…you have students who look up to you as a father and best friend, and you have a baby son…you stay with them, protect them, I’ll go deal with the invaders.” Ryan said, smiling softly.

[Gareeku]

Listening to Ryan, Gareeku thought deeply about the situation; Ryan was speaking the truth. When the blue-tailed saiyan had first arrived on Dragonia he had nothing. Fighting was all he knew in his young life, so naturally he had taken up to defend Dragonia from various threats. However, now that he had settled down, he had indeed found people he cared for; his students, particularly Gi and Jin, and of course his son, Shinoku. However, Ryan was also his friend, and he couldn't help his friend go alone, especially with the injuries he had received, even if he did have the saiyan ability of rapid healing.

Tiraicho meanwhile had a look of disappoint at Ryan's suggestions that he and Agatha should stay behind.
"aww, but I wanted to help you guys" the young Dragonian said sadly. Noticing this, Gareeku put his hand on the boy's shoulders and smiled reassuredly.
"Tiraicho, you are indeed a strong young man, but you still have much to learn. I'm trusting you to go to Gi and Jin and keep them, the other students and my son safe. Can you do that for me?" the blue-tailed saiyan asked.
"Ok sensei, I'll do it. I won't let you down!" Tiriacho said excitedly to his sensei, before racing off to Kosaten to meet up with the other students.

Turning back to Ryan, Gareeku smiled.
"Thank you for your concern my friend, but my students are strong fighters. With Gi, Jin and Tiraicho they, and my son, will be safe" the warrior said reassuredly. "Besides, there's no way i'm letting you alone with your injuries, and besides, your father did say for me to look after you" Gareeku continued with a grin.

[Ryan - Loki]

Ryan looked off towards Tiraicho as he spoke in melancholy to Gareeku towards Ryan’s comment that he and Agatha should stay and not go off to fight. Ryan’s attention then moved off towards Gareeku who had turned around and begun to speak to Tiraicho reassuringly, asking for his help looking after not only his favourite students but his son also; Tiraicho jumped at the chance to help, in any way possible it seemed. As Tiraicho moved to leave Ryan looked off towards him and simply bowed his head, in the honourable fashion that he was accustomed too, before once more returning his attention back towards Gareeku and listening to what he had to say next.

Ryan had pretty much gathered that Gareeku didn’t intend on letting him go alone to deal with this threat, his condition not helping sway the vote in the right direction either, but Ryan had to say the things he had done. After completely listening to everything Gareeku had to say Ryan couldn’t help but laugh. “I had a feeling you would say that friend…” Ryan said before replacing his right arm across his stomach with this left and raising his right arm up in the air, sort of in a ‘Hi-Fi’ position but with the palm turned inward, for Gareeku to take. “Then let us deal with this threat to us, our loved one and our home once and for all.”

[Gareeku]

Listening to Ryan, Gareeku smiled as he raised his right hand and took Ryan's own.
"I'm with you all the way my friend" he said, nodding to emphasise the truth in his words. A samurai and a martial arts master were about to begin their dangerous battle against the invading threat of the saiyans. They knew the risk was high, but it mattered not to the two men who were about to put their fighting skills to the test against an entire army, for their loved ones and the planet's inhabitants.
