The Calamities of Our Times [Invite Kraktus]

Kraktus walked along the beach in his Yoga clothes bored out of his mind. He was trying to keep a somewhat low profile pretend he was "Pizza Kargath." The Yoga Master of South Tropic. Ok so maybe he was just trolling anyone who did find him at this point. He even bought a Condo in South Tropics with this name so he had somewhere to chill away from his ship. He could pretend to be a normal person for a little bit. However, something had been troubling him. His scouter had picked up a power that he would need to deal with. It was close and over his own at <180,000>. A power like that close to his home? That could not be allowed. Kraktus took off the fake mustache that he bought and blast off towards where Sensoa was.

When he arrived he'd notice who was giving such the power. It was Sensoa the demon. Kraktus groaned in anger and annoyance he should have known this was not by chance. Sensoa was someone who of course would want to find him. The demon and he had been quite close but it had been some time. It didn't help that Sensoa had run away from Carro and seem to have given up on fighting. Yet he was stronger now? What could be going on? Kraktus was unsure but his scouter told him that Sensoa had not stopped getting stronger. Then he saw the message on his scouter. "Oh." Sensoa had sent him a challenge. Why didn't he check his scouter before this? Kraktus felt a bit of a fool but not he'd show it. Kraktus yawned, "Sorry I was a bit tired but I am here. I assumed at first you didn't want a fight right away but guess I should not be suprised. How have you been?" He'd have to see what else Sensoa would want he doubt a fight was all that was on the demon's mind.

Sensoa started off that he was not happy. In fact, he was quite miserable. Right away he admitted his failures without him having to go on a rant. He knew that he had failed in Central City. Yet now he had changed Kraktus could feel it. The spark of power that Sensoa had was back. He really had changed as Kraktus listened to him. What he had he lost to give way to such a transformation. He didn't know but he made him think of Kayen. It was the same thing he would do to her in the future once he killed Ramen for her. She'd thank him long after he laid in the grave. His heart had been weak but now it was something else. Kraktus grinned in delight as Sensoa told him all of this. He was back though not on any leash. He supposed he'd had to deal with that in time.

However, Kraktus wide smirk faded as he made it new goals known. To destroy Namek and Konats. To turn them into a barren waste was fine with him. He was fine when it came to Namek. He'd more than love to kill that Guru and destroy Namek. Getting rid of the Namek race along with the dragonballs would be perfect in his mind. Yet, Konats? Sure he'd be fine with doing what he said but Ashi of the Stargoons would not. He'd not risk losing the stargoons over Sensoa. Despite Sensoa being stronger then all of them he could control the stargoons and could not keep Sensoa in line. Sensoa put his hand out as he explained he needed his help to do all of this. He made it known he'd pay any price to expect to bring down Kayen? "Your words are fickle at best." Kraktus finally spoke. He'd was not going to use Sensoa word as trustworthy at least yet.

He made it clear he had other plans of allies like Vocado and maybe even Kayen to help him do all of this. He wanted his price but Kraktus had some questions first. Kraktus sighed deeply. "I welcome you back Sensoa. However, I cannot say these words are truthful yet. Trust is something that is earned back not given. I cannot help you destroy Konats. The Konatsian warrior Ashi is a Stargoons. Since you been gone I took your place as the holder of the contract. Unless she wills it so I'd not cause harm to her planet." Conquer it was fine with him but not destroy it. "Then I have one other question before I give my thoughts. You really seem to really care about Kayen? What is she to you. You said you'd changed and anyone else is fair game but why not her. What is different about everyone else in the entire universe?" Kraktus had a feeling he knew the answer but he wanted the demon to say it.

Kraktus carefully listened to Sensoa as he explained his history with Kayen. It seemed she had done a lot for him. She had spared her life, she had given him a home when he needed on. She gave him that aim for power and she even spared his life after what he did in Central city. It sounded boring to him but it made sense. Sensoa had been shown kindness and a goal to reach. Kraktus frowned lightly. "For someone saying you lost all hate all I see there is love. She did all this for you and now you want to go behind her back and do all this. She won't let you go raiding planets under the kingdom's name and your actions still have her name on it. Your smearing her name with your actions is that what you want?" Krkatus wanted to get a rifle out of Sensoa he wanted more about his thoughts on Kayen. He was close to learning something but Sensoa had not fully confirmed it.

As for his revised offer. He was willing to spare Konats but kill this man named Typha. "So this Typha man is who you desire. Guess he did something to you that need payment in blood. Fair enough on that part. Still, I don't know who he is. He sounds like a fool to me though. I'll see what Ashi has to say. If that is one of her kin she may not want him dead. Plus maybe he'll join us when we threaten to crush his people. He can't defeat us all. Attacking Namek is fine with me through. That is without issue for me. However, I am will need to talk to the Stargoons to make this deal true. They will decide if this is to follow but they are mad at you. How will you pay back your breaking of the contract to my men?" Kraktus tilted his head and waited for Sensoa response.

He could feel the anger from Sensoa. Guess he really did hit a nerv with the Kayen thing. Yet, after a few moments, he'd admitted that at one time he did love her but that feeling was gone now. He made it clear why he was loyal to her was simply that she was brutal to her foes and how she was strong and smart enough to rule it. Kraktus sneered, he was smarter than her by a long shot. As for her supposed brutal nature, it was not that impressive she was being held back. "Wrong, you still love her. That is fine with me. Emotion is not bad for you to have. A desire to have her is fine. I think the reason you don't want her as much anymore because you accepted you can't have her. Through all the actions you've assumed, you can't have her but the only reason she would not fall for her is that another has taken her far from you." Kraktus mused rubbing his chin. "I wonder who that would be?" He clearly knew but he was curious to see Sensoa would react to this assumption by Kraktus.

As for the goon thing, he seemed willing to prove himself. He gave him two offers. One was the head of his mother and his second was the dragonballs of Namek for their use. He'd raised his head. "Bold of you." Kraktus grinned. He liked Sensoa ambition on the matter to be sure but he didn't want that. "Yes but I'd rather not anyone use the dragonballs. I don't want them nor your mother's head. She is nothing to me." Kraktus spoke with honesty. "There are only two things I'd want from you to prove yourself. The First would be for you to submit to me. Yet, I doubt that will happen nor do I want it. You were a dog once but now you're a hound. I'd wish not to have my hand ripped apart when I tempt to pet you." Kraktus waved at Sensoa. "You said yourself that you'd not Kill Kayen. Fine fair enough but if you want to work with me there is someone else you can kill. Someone that you must be loyal to as well. I want you to kill the one known as Ramen. That what I'd want but it up to the Stargoons." Kraktus grinned, "I'll talk to them as soon as possible. If they are willing we will fight with you but for my part that your trading your life for Kayen's if you betray us. You understand?" Kraktus said letting all his words process.

Kraktus felt the tinge of fear as he looked upon Sensoa. He really was quite the monster if he was honest. He could not image facing off with Sensoa in a straight-up fight. He might get killed before he knew what was happening. Then he made it clear he'd follow through on the Ramen thing. Kraktus waved his hand. "Nah as I said it would be what I want. I am not going to have you do it. See Sensoa you are my friend. I don't mean in the sense the good lot think of it but we are kindred souls. We will crush anyone in our way, you have the strength and I have some of the intelligence." No need to call Sensoa dumb he was not trying to be laid out as a corpse. "I am happy to aid you. Destroying Namek is part of the plan and killing this Typha may not be a bad idea." Kraktus rubbed his chin.

When Sensoa called him to answer he waved his hand. "As I said I don't want you as my servant. I said it before but I ain't stupid. You could kill me if we fought for real and a good way to do that is force you under me. I did it once and you grew so strong. You became your own being and now your the greatest evil around. Maybe even more than myself." For now, he was, he'd eventually be the one everyone feared not Sensoa. "But yes I am going to have to talk with the Stargoons. You and me alone can't take Namek. So I'll have you and I meet with them. For now, I'd start planning how we are going to do it. I expect a good strategy from you and insurance that you cannot flee the battle like last time or that this ain't a big trick." He knew it was not a trick but still, he had to be sure.

Kraktus stared at Sensoa as something seemed to be bothering the demon. Krkatus wondered if he decided to lash out but instead, he told him to shut up and if he keeps talking he'd kill him. "Bold words. You have been trying to get back in my good graces and you wanna kill me now?" Kraktus looked at Sensoa. He seemed to be out of his mind. Maybe Sensoa had lost his mind. Kraktus could not be sure and he even switched to Kayen how she didn't take him to conquer Arosce. "Of course she did not take you. She didn't think there was going to be much of a fight and she was correct on that." Sure there was Aizu and him but that was not all that much for her and Nashua to deal with. So he was unsure what was getting Sensoa in such a fuss. Krkatus stared down Sensoa and waited for him to respond. Maybe he'd be able to explain what he was talking about.
