001; [Accidental Video & Action] • Action In CH #4 - Floor 3 Kitchen

[most newcomers to the realm of Luceti would be more concerned or focused on trying to leave this place or find answers. not to say that this certain resident hadn't checked out everything there was about this place after shortly arriving. he'd learned to leave those little wings on his back alone too after trying to give them a little tug and smarting more than he expected. but sometimes there was just some things that a man had to take care of that just couldn't wait. and what was that, someone might ask?]

Om nom nomph--mmm..! Mm!! Snarf--

[having set his journal down in front of him, a newcomer didn't quite anticipate that the video portion would be on at this point when he set it down. must have been a slip of the finger. but slowly but surely...]

NOM NOM NYORM... Aahhhooomp--

......

BUUURP!!

Hoo!! Man that hit the spot! A moment later and I might have starved to death!

[the fridge on the floor Goku's on in his apartment may or may not look a little...ahem...barren. sorry. excluding what he picked up on the way back. patting his stomach and wiping his mouth, he reaches for the journal now and looks into it. oh, it was on? he's not that technologically dumb thanks to the Briefs family, so he knows the video's on. but he didn't quite figure out that it recorded his entire dining escapade either]

Right... Now that I can think straight,

I'm supposed to be able to use this thing to talk to other people here, right? Guess that means I wasn't the only one taken away... I can't sense anyone's energy back home. Instant Transmission doesn't work either.

Uh, hey, you guys can see me, right? In the book?

[he's not weirded out by this concept either. nope. totally normal]

Well before I make my next move, I should get the facts straight and find out if everything I've seen and been told is real or not.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh! So it's like how Whis was Bills' teacher! I wouldn't mind seeing how I stack up against those two one day... But that can wait. I've got more important things to take care of.

So would that make you the God...or....Goddess of Wind and Rain?

Well if either one of them ends up here in Luceti, trapped with us? I'll be sure to let you know. The God of War will hardly ever turn away a challenger.

And yes, that's right. I'm a storm god. Nothing so grand as my uncles, but then...it's the role I was meant to play.

God of War huh? Sounds exciting! I look forward to it if the time comes.

So can you control the weather or something? It may not be as grand as the others, but you can never underestimate the power of the planet.

More than that, but yes, essentially. Wind, Rain, Lightning, Hail, and the powers of a storm are my domain, and I've had centuries to study fighting and sorcery. I'm a younger god, you understand, but my powers...I don't think they're important right now. I don't fight mortals unless I can help it, save for training. Suffice to say, I am a friend and I'm sure we;ll get along and be able to help one another.

[Now, the important bits. Get ready for short overviews of the place.]

You wanted to get facts straight, yes? Then allow me to lay things out simply. You are in Luceti, another universe, trapped inside a bubble. Outside the bubble there are to warring groups. The Malnosso and the Third Party. The Malnosso are scientists in charge of the bubble, and the Third Party wants to kill all of us.

The barrier is unbreakable, and saps some of our strength or Vegeta and I would've broken it ages ago. There are other gods here as well, and powerful warriors. I'm not saying this to discourage you, I just want you to understand the situation thus far.

That sounds awesome! It's better to make friends instead of enemies. Especially if it's a god.

[but to that end, Goku pipes down and listens, his expression focused now as he's ready to get down to business]

The Malnosso... So that's what they're called. So we're up against whoever the Third Party is, right?

Yeah, I already checked out the barrier. [by running into it with his face by accident] I didn't get a chance to do anything to it because I got hungry.

Wait, not even Vegeta could break through? I thought something felt off about my power, but...

(This isn't good. If Vegeta couldn't even break it...and he's gotten a lot stronger...)

Saori, are there any consequences for trying to attack that barrier?

Wrong. We're up against both. The Malnosso trap us here and experiment on us. They do things like wipe our memories, modify our bodies, and toy with our emotions. And they can do it without touching us. They are not our friends either. If anything, they're less problematic than the Third Party, but they're still enemies. They keep out the Third Party, but that's the only real favor they do us. And even then they sometimes conscript us to fight for them in their war. Not just fighters, but children too.

And as far as I know? No. It'll take energy, and if you punch it, you'll be hitting something solid as the earth itself. But there's no punishment for it, given that it's all but impossible to break there's no point to the Malnosso doing that.

It's worse than I thought. [he's calm enough, but the thought of how much power they have over the people here....and the fact they don't stop at fighters and even children for pointless wars...]

I think I'm going to go check out the barrier and see what I can do.

[because obviously that's the most rational choice]

Is there anything else about this place and how things work that I could know about?

Meet me there, actually. Just fly straight south. I'll show you what I mean, and it'll be easier to talk in person.

[And when you do something stupid, she can at least make sure you get back okay.]

Is thirty minutes enough time?

Straight south? Sounds good!

[and just to prove that point, Goku's already going out the nearest window, again leaving the mess he left behind for now. he'll be back ~~to heckle Vegeta~~ in a short bit]

Seeya soon!

[he closes the book and hops straight out the window. he wasn't certain where her energy signal was coming from since there were quite a few powerful forces here, but so long as he just went south...]

That way.

[aaand he's off. boy is he off. if there was an energy source to lock onto he would have just used instant transmission, but for now he's just gonna break the sound barrier and others (but not the one they're going to) as he flies with a bright white aura around his body]

Edited 2013-10-09 02:28 (UTC)

[No point in bothering with a response, she just hops off the roof and makes her way south. It's not that fast, no reason to hurry, and she arrives in about twenty minutes. Of course, she's not flying the same way, she's seated on a cloud that's driving lazily along underneath her. Goku's not hard to spot, really and she drifts down to him.]

Good afternoon, Goku. I hope you weren't waiting too long. I didn't see the point in hurrying.

[Goku was about a two miles distance from the actual physical point of the barrier. ...enough distance for a blast or two no doubt. when he can sense the godly ki of Saori coming from a distance behind him, he turns around. fortunately he hadn't been waiting too long. so he can't help but offer her an energetic wave]

Heeey! Saori! You made it!

[as he flies over to meet her, he couldn't help but notice that she was riding on a cloud...]

Is that a Nimbus cloud?

[Well, when she comes down, there's definitely a flicker of interest in her eyes too. She doesn't sense ki the same way, but she does sense magical and divine energy. And he's got a hint of the touch of divinity on him. Probably from that Bills character, and something she'll be keeping an eye on.

She rides up beside him and hops off, waving cheerily.]

No, it's a cumulus cloud. A nimbus cloud would've wet my dress, so it doesn't really make fora great seat, now does it?

Really? I didn't notice getting wet when I rode Nimbus. [ahhh nostalgia]

It's nice to meet you in person, Saori. [he inclines his head]

So this is it... [he looks back to the barrier holding them in. he's confident, but at the same time he's assessing the best way to start breaking this]

Well, nimbus clouds are rainclouds, so maybe the one you rode was just special. But it is nice to meet you too. And it's a fine day for a ride out.

[...yet another parallel to Cousin Goku...weird.

She turns her attention to the barrier too, eyes distant, her nose upturned in irritation.]

Yes, this is it. There's no gaps or seams or anything that anyone's found. So. I guess this is as good a place as any.

Right.

[suddenly, Goku's aura flares around him once more, bursting off with incredible speed as he reaches the barrier. yeah he kinda did this without so much of a warning. all it took was a blink and he was already lunging fist-first into the barrier]

HYAAH!!

[BOOM! the force of the blow is enough that it seems to cause the surrounding ground to tremor for a fraction of a second. but more importantly is the fact that Goku is simply staying there with his fist slammed into the barrier. a great poker face. ...when suddenly,]

O-Ow!!

Hoo...that smarts. I've hit things that can hold up to my punches, but that thing is solid!

[he waves his hand. that one kinda smarted]

[The goddess watches, arms folded in front of her, expression placid and tranquil. He's strong like Vegeta of course, and he's fast. But, she knows better than to hope too much.

When he comes away her lip twitches and she resists the urge to laugh. He really is a goofball...]

It is, isn't it.

[She raises a hand, flicking her fingers towards it and unleashes a torrent of lightning the size of a bus at it. It strike the barrier with a crackling, popping sound, but it's absorbed just like the blow from his fist.]

And it's equally resistant to magic.

GAH!!

[he's kinda taken aback when Saori launches her massive lightning at the barrier, flying back even though he wasn't in the line of fire]

That's some attack! I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.

Edited 2013-10-09 04:42 (UTC)

[She twitches her fingers and lets a few sparks dance along them, showing off just a bit.]

It's just a big of sorcery. Nothing too special, but thank you. Maybe we could try it together, if you like. I can lend you some of my Anima, if you're good at energy projection.

Sure! If it'll help me push the limits this place put on me, it's worth a try. If Anima is anything like ki, I'll appreciate the boost.

[on that remark, Goku slowly begins to float backwards, gaining some distance between himself and the barrier. Vegeta couldn't do it... there were others that were extremely powerful here and they failed too. so why? why did Son Goku insist on trying even though many others before him couldn't do it?]

[this was more than just trying to take down the barrier. he didn't have to say anything about his intentions when his actions would speak far louder. what was he telling the ones that bound him here? to the people that sent children off to die in battle in pointless strifes... to his future enemies. what did he hope to accomplish by failing to take the barrier down?]

!!!

[Goku's body was almost immediately enveloped by a brilliant golden light, hair standing on end as a focused golden aura flared around him. the message was clear- Luceti had a true fighter on their hands. someone who would never give up. he would get stronger and break the limits placed on him, and in the end, surpass himself. it wasn't about beating this place. it was conquering himself. his hair followed suit, gravity-defying blond spikes completing the transformation. if Saori was familiar with Vegeta, no doubt she must have known that the man before her was a Super Saiyan; one of the first in almost a thousand years]

Ready, Saori?

[The change in the Saiyans was always interesting, at the very least. The ridiculous alterations to their hair aside, the importance Vegeta had placed on the transformation was almost religious and that was something easy to relate to. There was a sense of reverence and a palpable pressure around Vegeta, and Goku too, that was simply unmistakable.

Her hands flick in a series of complex gestures, and around her feet a semi-solid corona of power takes shape. Her Anima isn't really all that different from Ki, and it's something she and Bulla had practiced sharing. The lending and borrowing of the inner life-energy wasn't something that occurred to Saori before, but after experimenting she and the girl had managed to figure out how to do it. So, that corona shimmers and flows towards Goku, merging with his aura and suffusing it with sparks of blue white lightning...]

Done.

[it was amusing the way that Goku and Vegeta's reverence of the Super Saiyan differed. he understood the importance of it, but he didn't ascend to this level out of a need to realize the legend, but because his pure heart was critically wounded by Frieza. the pain and suffering had to stop. there was no other way... since then, this has been his most trusted transformation, but far from the pinnacle of his prowess. this would do just fine for now though. Goku wanted to show this world he wasn't going to take the suffering lying down. this was a test above all else. and when he felt the Anima merge in with his aura, he felt his power level spike. it wasn't too significant considering the fact they were both being hampered, but between the remnants of his godly Ki and her own divine offering, he looked down to one of his hands as lightning trickled along his fingertips. it was so natural to him. so easy]

Thanks, Saori. You're the best. Now...

[if she hadn't done such already, she may have wanted to pull back with him]

KAAA MEEE...

[his arms by his side, the latent power in his body was being focused. his aura was growing wilder and his power level was rising as he briefly chanted. suddenly, it appeared. only this time instead of showing as a simple bluish-white orb of energy, it was complimented by the same blue and white sparks that Saori's Anima provided him with]

HAAA MEEE...!

[now or never. Anima Kamehameha!]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[the undying storm, an unrelenting torrent of power, Goku fires the blast directly at the barrier before them. instead of bouncing off or exploding however, the end of the beam flattens against the wall, creating an effect similar to if one was met with a clashing force, as if he was in a clashing beam struggle. it wasn't giving one inch, but Goku continued to put out force as the Kamehameha Wave flowed with lightning around the beam, signs of Saori's strength at work]

AAAAAAAHHHHHH--!!!!

[this continued on for a good minute as Goku pushed and pushed until finally, the attack finally gave way and instead of trying to penetrate, it exploded in front of them. the surrounding area seemed to quiver at the aftershock as smoke filled the immediate area. his vision was lost beneath the smoke for the time being, but he could still sense Saori's energy close to him]

...

[despite the force of the blast, he didn't seem winded at all, only a couple beads of sweat rolling down the Super Saiyan's forehead. it was disappointing, but even he knew that he was weaker now. but still...was it enough? the smoke finally cleared and before them was the barrier, as impervious as ever, but not without effort]

Oh wow. I didn't know if I was gonna do it or not, but I at least expected a crack or something.

Edited 2013-10-09 21:52 (UTC)

[Well, Saori's smart enough to move back away from him as he gathers up energy. She's drifted a dozen meters away or so, and she's watching with mild interest at the attempt. It's not that it isn't impressive, because quite frankly it is pretty amazing to see that much Anima coming out of a mortal. She's forced to shield her eyes from the sheer force of the blast, a reflex from her mortal life, but with a simple gesture a barrier of solid air deflects any debris and keeps her looking neat and tidy.

Another whisper of power clears away all the smoke, allowing them to speak normally.]

I'm sorry, that was a good try, but...well...as I said. It's not something brute force can really break down. It can be done from the outside through Shifting, the natural magic of this world, but only the Malnosso and the Third Party can really use that. Nobody here knows much about it, but we've been invaded once or twice.
