It hadn't taken Aurora long to make it to Earth. After she and Lettice had been able to clear Arcosian airspace, escaping from... well, from what had once been her home, all it had taken was an argument where she failed to dissuade the... she still wasn't entirely sure what the boy was, but either way he had wanted to be dropped off at Vegeta. VEGETA. It was an absolute miracle they hadn't been spotted there and blown out of the sky, and no matter what she had refused to actually touch the blighted place. The disgusting monkeys had taken more from her than they could ever replace, and she wasn't about to get any closer to them than she had to until time came to rip out everything they had. She had opened the pod in the utter atmosphere, and half booted the hybrid creature out. He knew where she would be if he needed help, but it would be up to him to find his way there.
After that, she had set off on her own to a planet that was... really only spoken of in rumours. She hadn't even been sure that it existed until the navigation device confirmed it for her. A backwater mud hole that had not only produced beings that had shaken the universe itself, but according to old whisperes she barely remembered... it could also be acting as the home and shelter of their princess. Thoughts ran through her head as she pondered that little tidbit of knowledge. King Chill hadn't been in power very long, but that was hardly uncommon for Arcose. The noble houses were always squabbling. But that didn't mean they didn't adhere to some rules, even if they only acknowledged them publicly.
One of said rules? Succession, from king to child. With the monkey usurpers, that meant the rightful heir to her people was Princess Belle, and not even her species could deny that fact. Aurora just needed to find her, and from there she would... she would... the purple arcosian woman wasn't very sure. The princess would still be a mere child, so perhaps... help her? Train together, convince her to take back her home. Their home. These thoughts had run through the arcosian's mind in circles as she planned, thinking and keeping active. She couldn't afford not to. If she stopped, if she paused for even a single second, she knew that the memories would come back and that she would have to deal with them. That couldn't be allowed, not until everything was better. So instead, she focused upon the present and future, ignoring the past until it was time.
Finally, when the blue ball had appeared in her monitor and she had been alerted from her daze by it beeping, she felt something approaching... eagerness. The beginning of her journey, she supposed this was. A lot was going to happen, she was sure, but Aurora knew the end point. It was that or death, and she'd at least go down swinging. As her pod approached, she ran a small scan of the planet. It was a somewhat uncommon feature for a spaceship, but the Arctos were well experienced in the art of finding planets. It seemed rather populous, with multiple hubs of activity and life, although certainly not as much as Arcose. It was.. temperate, ugh. Too warm for her species, but she supposed that it was a small sacrifice. That being said, it was probably for the best that she chose an area resembling that of her homeworld. It would aid in acclimatisation and it seemed there was very little activity around these colder areas, which would make it perfect for hiding her ship until she needed it again.
Eventually she decided upon a large mountain in the northern hemisphere of Earth, apparently named Mt. Frappe. It was cold enough for her, and wasn't too far from civilisation in case she wouldn't be able to fly frequently. Her ship flew silently through the atmosphere, a spark of flame erupting as she entered the upper atmosphere before it was quickly put out by the safety measures aboard, something she found herself being grateful for. From what she knew, those that did know what her species looked like weren't often fond of her kind, and she couldn't afford many delays between her and finding Belle.
Curiously, the moment she neared the upper side of the mountain, a large blizzard began to swell, obscuring the majority of her ship's vision and forcing the Arcosian to set down prematurely, with only a preliminary scan made by the ship and uploaded into her father's scouter to help her avoid crashing into a rock or the face of the mountain as she does so. Once everything was righted and she was sure the ship wasn't going to slide off of the somewhat slanted hill she had landed upon, the arcosian swivelled around in her chair that she had picked back up. Red eyes trailed the room, and she felt a knot in her throat begin to form as she did her best to swallow past it. Memories threatened to overwhelm her, but with a shake of her head and clap of her hands she managed to rip herself out of the coming fugue and rapidly made her way over towards the entrance and exit of the ship.
Breathing a calming breath, Aurora reached a hand out to the side of the entrance to hit a large red button that was there. With an electrical whine thedoor began to slide up, and the blizzard howled in welcoming with its full force, a flurry of snow storming their way into the ship as the ramp before her extended into the snow covered rock. The freezing wind, so obviously deadly to most inhabitants of this world, felt like nothing more than a nice breeze to Aurora as she stepped forward and down the ramp. Her three toed feet settled into the snow with familiarity as behind her the ship closed once more, and quickly disappeared from view as she set off into the snow, guided by the map that had been drawn upon her scanner.
However it didn't take long for the scanner to begin picking up something nearby. A lot of somethings, approaching at a somewhat impressive rate. A roar cut through the whole of the wind, and it was only Aurora's reactions that allowed her to dodge back as a large, furry arm slashed from the wall of snow. Wicked looking claws tore through the air where her head had been, and amidst the blizzard came a pack of rather curious creatures. Large and bipedal, with white fur and an almost ape like visage. The scanner quickly rifled through her ship's database, and informed her that these were known as 'Yetis', creatures native to the mountain and fiercely territorial. Aurora's mouth sets itself into a firm frown as she places her fist into the palm of her hands. "Good. I need something to hit right now."

It had been too long since Yakone had found himself in a fight for his own life. He hasn’t seen combat this intense since his days at the academy. His power was still stunned and his body was still in aching pain as he kneeled over as he was on a cliff and down below he saw yetis. To his left, he spotted an arcosian and sensing her power alone, she wasn’t the strongest compared to the royals he had seen.
His focus was back at the yetis in which two of them spotted him from afar and they both began to charge straight at him, taking massive jumps from the ground they stood on and landing right in front of Yakone, towering his body with two inches of difference in height. They’d cock their fist back and Yakone barely avoiding the first impact sent his way. He’d grunt in pain as the second ape’s fist implanted on his chest in mid air, causing him to fly far back into a skinny dead looking tree. His back felt the full brunt of it as he coughed up blood. He hate being in this weaken state and instead of resting like he should, his Saiyan nature didn’t allow that. He’d struggle to get to his feet as the yetis continued their pursuit for the man. If Yakone was going to best them, he needed a plan and fast. However with his body barely able to even move, he was a cornered rat. The first yeti tried socking him in his face, Yakone duck just in time to perform a straight uppercut to the yetis chin. Causing him to fly off his feet and landing on his back. Yakone’s arm began to tingle as he yelled in pain. He landed on his feet and dropped to his knees as his hands caught the ground before he could fall face on the snow. He was definitely tired and sweating underneath the bandages that covered him entirely except for his hair and eyes area. Before he could do anything, the second yeti kneed him straight in the side of the face, causing him to fly into a tree with his ribs taking most of the damage. Luckily they weren’t broken as he struggled to get to his feet and turned to look at the yetis ready for round two.

Aurora steeled herself for the fight, but before it had even begun half of the pack seemed to split off from the two staring her down. A feral growl left their throats as they leapt and disappeared from view, but with a single glance her scouter was able to follow them despite the raging blizzard. They had leapt further up the cliff, after another signature the scouter had picked up. It was... rather incredibly weak, actually. Almost certainly an earthling then. Well, if it managed to survive long enough for Aurora to deal with her two then she supposed she could help it out. Right now she had her own issues to deal with, such as the two wild beasts growling down at her. "Bring it." She scowls in response, holding her arms open and showing nothing in the way of fear.
With a roar, they attacked. A claw swiped at her, only to be caught in her hand, both limbs shaking as they tried their best to overpower one another. The other leapt directly at her, and was promptly smacked out of the air as Aurora lifted into the air, her thick tail colliding with the beast's neck and sending it flying away to land crouched upon the snow and snarling. The one she was still trying to overpower brought its mouth forward in a snarling bite as she flew a little close, forcing her to place her forearm within its mouth and trusting in her natural bio-armour to hold, its teeth scraping hard enough against it to create sparks that were quickly snuffed out by the cold around them.
For a moment the pair were stuck in a stalemate, before the second yeti returned with a savage roar, grabbing Aurora by the tail and ripping her from its pack-mate's grasp before slamming her down into the snow packed stone of the mountain as hard as it could. A wheeze of air left Aurora as she impacted with the hardened surface, and she kicked the yeti in the face with enough force to make it let go as it skids back. Yet as she tried to rise once more, its friend leapt from the snow before she had time to react, bringing a powerful fist crashing into her face and sending her flying into a small cliff face. "Ugh." Was all she was able to get out before they reached her and although she was able to return the favour to the first, once again she found herself vulnerable to the second as it lashed out and grabbed her, driving her face repeatedly into the rock of the mountain with enough force for cracks to begin to spread through the rock.
Aurora brought er tail up to free herself, but before it even reached the yeti she felt a pair of clawed hands wrap around it, holding her still as her head continued to be crushed by the yeti. Both yetis now had a grip on her, and as she struggled she felt a white hot pain flash through her as the beast's claws managed to find purchase and slash at her tail. A wordless roar of pain and anger left her at that, before her form began to suddenly grow in size. Her horns increased in size as she did as her mouth was obscured by bio armour that rapidly grew over her. Steam rose from her into the atmosphere as she shifted, and the blizzard began to lesson as her aura flooded through it. "Enough." She growls, voice deeper and firmer as with a single flick of her tail both yetis were sent flying through the air.
Yet they never landed, as she grabbed both mid arc and spun in the air, throwing them as hard as she could up into the sky and following. Once they were a sufficient height, both hands were brought upon their flailing forms like hammers as they were sent careening towards where the other two Yeti and the Earthling were with enough force to creature plumes of snow upon landing. Floating down, she landed upon the prone form of a miraculously still struggling yeti, her toes wrapping around its head and grinding it into the snow. Her fists clench as she stares down the remaining three. "Who's next?"
Aurora has activated her first transformation, Brute form. This increases her PL by x2, to a total of 20,000

Round two had quickly begun, with a defensive style of position of fighting, he looked ahead at the two creatures who took their charge straight at him. He had to remember on what he had learned at the academy the only problem was, he hadn’t been at the academy since he was 10. This was indeed going to be troublesome as he folded his arms in an x formation as he blocked the incoming right hook to the chest from the first yeti.
Skidding his boots across the snow, he grunted in pain. The second one performed a leap frog maneuver over the first one as he attempted to haymaker Yakone’s skull. Yakone easily avoided it with struggle of course due to the muscle pain. He then proceeded to right hook the beast in the side of his cheek, then mounting on the beast neck with both his legs inbetween trying to flip him over by using his hands as support. The yeti was too quick for that to even happen, as he lifted his body and head higher, causing Yakone to dangle in the air and the yeti then grabbing a hold of his side of the bottom and proceeding to crush his fist inward. Causing Yakone to yell in pain. Before it was over, the yeti grabbed a hold of his entire body and hurling him straight to the snow pile.
Just before he could call it quits, anger filled his mind and heart. He struggled to rise to his feet as half of his face was revealed due to the bandages coming off. His once weak demeanor changed as he pressed his feet to the ground. No longer did he feel the pain any longer for a brief second. He felt numb and finally as the yeti was rushing towards him the one that threw him, Yakone leaped straight like a bullet over to the yeti’s stomach. The power was strong enough to cause the yeti to fly far back into a nearby tree. Knocking out entirely. The now weaken Yakone dropped to a kneel and spat blood as he chuckled looking at the last yeti walking towards him. Before he could make a move, two yeti coming from the sky and impacting him and the other one. Ending the fight entirely and Yakone dropping to his buttocks. He looked to the female arcosian and smirked.
“You are quite strong and the first female arcosian I have ever seen...”
He’d struggle to get to his feet and continued to chuckle.
“I could use a person like you in my army..”

Aurora found herself plenty surprised when she realised that the yeti she had been staring at weren't actually moving anymore, and her eyes slid over towards the earthling. Odd. He shouldn't have been able to pull that off at his power level. But, she wasn't one to question that sort of thing as she pressed down upon the head of the Yeti beneath her until a sharp crack could be heard, before jumping off and into the snow. Air from the blizzard seemed to be drawn back into her body as she shrank once more, plates of bio armour receding as her mask disappeared and her chest shallows out once more. Soon, she had returned to her regular suppressed form and crosses her arms as she looks down towards the earthling.
"Thanks, but i'm not interested." She responds disdainfully, even as she reaches forward to help tug the earthling up and on to his feet. The blizzard around them was making it somewhat difficult to hear, but there was little she could do about that without reverting to her true form, something she'd rather keep under wraps at this point. It was a hassle to try and suppress herself like that, and even a little painful for the arcosian. Then again, she wished that the minor pains that came with transformation were all she had to worry about. It would make things so much easier...
A sigh escapes her as she looks around, doing her best to try and pierce through the surrounding blizzard. The wall of howling white seemed to be almost omnipresent, yet curiously hadn't been picked up on earlier by the ship. It seemed this planet was stranger than she had anticipated, and Aurora wasn't entirely sure if that was a bad thing. She would need plenty of experiences if she was ever going to take back her home. Those that held it... the difference between her and them was like night and day, and unless she managed to get stronger there was no chance she would be able to save her people and avenge her... her...
Snapping out of her thoughts, the Arcosian shakes her head and glances towards the Earthling. "Really? I'm the first you've me-" She begins in surprise, before her eyes snap open and she steps aggressively towards him. "Who are you? I thought earthlings weren't supposed to know about us, and you seem pretty familiar with my people. Are you an offworlder too? A SAIYAN?" Upon closer inspection, she narrowed her eyes in suspicion. She couldn't see a tail, but dark hair and the ability to take out those Yetis... If he was a Saiyan, he would regret trying whatever it was he was doing with her. Toying, perhaps. They were a cruel race, after all. A familiar rage swelled through her as her body once again warped, tearing apart once more as her Brute form emerged once more and she stared down at the man before her, snarling behind her mask.

He'd chuckle, as she had aided him to his feet. He would now stand on his own two feet and walking along forward as she wondered who he really was. The first suggestion was an earthling, a calm like demeanor she gave, then at the thought of him being a saiyan, her tone had changed entirely. She had broken apart her armor and a smirk sly right across his lips as he looked over his shoulder. He wondered what she would do to him if he were to tell her the truth and so he did.
"If you must know my true race, I am indeed a saiyan. However, I am not apart of the Saiyan Kingdom. I have no ill intent for the fleet as well. In fact, I met the General of the fleet. A squid looking man. You probably know of him, he's quite popular in the fleet and your home planet Arcose."
He'd assume that she was born on Arcose and would have this knowledge, but then again he had no idea who this person was.
"And yes, you are the first female arcosian I have ever met. Can't say the same for the guys I have seen. You are quite interesting than the others I have seen. You probably make the boys look like wimps compared to your strength. Am I right?"
He'd butter her up, trying to not steer a fight between the two considering that he wasn't at all healed up from his aching body pain. He'd fully turn around to face her.
"I am neither friend nor enemy, I only wish to free the world from the corruption and bring it back towards the peaceful era. Where your ancestors and mine, lived in harmony at one point in time."
He'd give her a stern look, being full serious with his answer.

"If you must know my true race, I am indeed a saiyan.- Aurora's eyes widened behind her face mask at his words, as her breathing became rushed and hurried. Her heart beat a thousand miles a minute as within her mind a cacophony of screams and crying tore its way through her. Scenes flashed in front of her mind's eye. The yelling, the panic and screaming. The sky, filled with so many flashes of lights as the gods fought above her home for its fate. A madman and foreign conquerors, too preoccupied with themselves to even care about the place they were trying take. Too arrogant and uncaring, to care about those below them and the fates that they make simply by existing and acting they way they did. Rubble, blood, a hand, her FAMILY. A choked sob left her as these memories and more ran through her mind, and it was almost as if her body was moving on its own as she stepped towards him. Almost. Her mind snapped and roiled with anger as her body strode forward, only barely hanging on to any semblance of control as she reared her fist back, before bringing it forward in a devastating punch, fuelled by her own rage and devastation at what had happened to her only so recently. She had been doing her best to try and lock it away. To ignore it, and to focus upon the matter at hand. Finding the princess, fighting the yetis, even talking to this saiyan was little more than her attempt at denying reality. But to be confronted with one of the beings that had been responsible. The war like monsters that had taken EVERYTHING FROM HER! She would roar in anger and fly at full speed after the form of the Saiyan should her fist connect, intent on making him feel even a fraction of the pain she did. " HOW DARE YOU! DO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY?! TO DO THIS TO ME?!" She would scream as she wraps a hand around his throat, holding him level with her as they come to a stop in the air. " I LOST EVERYTHING TO YOUR FILTHY, DISGUSTING RACE! MY HOME!" Her fist would connect with his stomach. " MY FAMILY!" She would bring him close to her face as she screams, her red eyes meeting his with a burning hatred and sadness. |

If the galaxy could speak among the people. They would tell you that one of the most fear races out of them all were of course the Saiyans, but the one next to them would be the arcosians. This wasn't a myth, rather pure fact since both the fleet and the saiyan kingdom had been at war with each other for centuries only for a brief period that stopped it only for a time. When her fist met his x cross arms, the devastating blow caused him to fly far back from her and landing on his back. His arms had simply gone numb almost like the nerve endings had been cut. Saiyans were so use to fights that everything would feel numb to them at some point or another. Before he could even have a chance to rise from the ground itself, he felt a strong grip around his neck and being lifted up from the snow pavement and now to the air.
"Take a closer look at my-"
He felt a sharp punch against his stomach, losing air in its entirety he tried gasping for it. Almost like a begging as he wrapped his own hands around her forearm, only to not feel her arms at all but instead the grasp had slipped and his arms were now dangling on its own. After catching his breath, he looked at her blood boiled eyes of anger.
"Look at my insignia... you know why its scratched off? I'm not apart of the Kingdom. I may have saiyan blood in my veins, but I don't carry their title. The Queen murdered my father...."
He'd then choke up as he tried catching his breath.
"And my mother... my entire family were killed by my own people. So if there is anyone who understands your pain. I am standing right here... These injuries you see of my body. They did it to me. I escaped with an inch of my life. I want the same goal that you want. Complete annihilation of the Kingdom and Planet Vegeta."
He was now at the mercy of this arcosian, his arms started to twitch on natural causes, starting to feel his nerves come back to them.
"I wouldn't have told you my race if I was lying to you. After all, I know arcosians and saiyans have never seen eye to eye..."

Aurora's eyes narrowed at the Saiyan as he spoke, the Arcosian resisting the temptation to crush him then and there as he did so. If he was telling the truth... No. He was still one of them. A Saiyan. They were nothing but monsters, and death was the only mercy she wanted to give them. But the more he spoke, the more he pointed out the various old wounds that she couldn't have given him, the more her grip upon his neck began to slacken. Slowly the intense glare she gave him began to lessen, eyes widening more and more until she was simply looking at the man before her. With a scoff, she released him, allowing him to collapse into the snow at her feet as she looks down towards him, struggling to figure out what to say. This had been her moment. Her chance to get some form of revenge. To make them feel even a little bit what she had. And yet when it came to it, when she had him at her mercy, she didn't do it. Aurora wasn't sure what that said about her, or her chances to achieve her ultimate goal.
But if he was telling the truth... if he really wasn't one of them... Then he didn't deserve this. She looked down at his quietly, mulling things over. "If you're telling the truth, then... i'll extend a mercy I was never afforded." She murmurs down to him, barely audible over the roar of the blizzard around them as she gazed towards him silently. A hiss of steam came from her body as it began to shrink once more, this time permanently, down to her suppressed form. She stood there in the howling mountain gale, now visible mouth set in a firm line. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it before anything left her. Turning silently, she walked away from the prone Saiyan.
Before she disappeared from view entirely, however, she managed to find the words she was looking for. "While you were correct about a lot of that..." She starts, looking over her shoulder at him, red eyes almost glowing in the gloom of the blizzard. "You were wrong about one thing. I don't want the destruction of your people or planet Vegeta." Her voice softened as she turns away, before striding into the wall of white and grey and disappearing from view, leaving only one last message resounding through the mountain.
"I just want my home back."

The fighting had completely ended and Yakone rose to his feet as he caught his breath finally and went over to reach for his cane and used it to stand on his feet as they shook in place.
"I can tell you this. I can help you get back your home. I have an army. They aren't the Saiyan Kingdom. They are a new movement where we will make the world equal for everyone. No more chaos or destruction for anybody. I don't know if you know much about history. The saiyan kingdom, the fleet, and the mazoku dominion were at one point in time, at peace. the three strongest faction this world has ever known. Now we are at war times and I can be the one person that puts that goal into reality. If you don't wish to join, that's fine too."
He would start to walk away and then look over his shoulder.
"We will stay in touch. I have ways of tracking people down. I won't be letting you down."
He saw the pain that the arcosian had gone through, through her eyes alone. Even though he didn't know her story, he had his own painful story as well. He'd leave the scenery for now.
Exit
