She could feel it. Out in the deep and vast nothingness of space, there was something great and overbearing permeating across the very universe. Something truly evil. It was like the very fabric of space was being torn at like nails being dragged through skin. Aida could hear the very universe call out in desperation and pain as a terrible Demonic force echoed out across the galaxies. It resonated far and wide, reaching her senses even on Namek. The Shinjin was frightened of the power she could sense, yet it was this fear that had been the exact thing she'd been searching for. Aida and Moringa had spent months in hiding on the surface of Namek, biding their time as they kept a close eye on mortal affairs. The Demonic taint she sensed was a familiar one to both Moringa as well as her. She'd felt it on Namek before time and time again, a truly infamous Demon. It didn't take the duo long to learn of the terror's name... Sensoa.
Moringa's fascination with the Demon's Ki was unlike anything Aida had seen before. The scythe lusted for Sensoa's soul more than anything, truly hungering to feast on the powerful Demon's carcass. Sensoa's overwhelming power and dark intentions threatened the very balance of the cosmos. As Aida's divine duty, she set out in hunt of the Demon with a strong grip on her weapon. His Ki came from a planet all too familiar for the deity. Earth.
In the blink of an eye, Aida found herself on the blue marble, standing atop a tall tree that overlooked the vast jungles of Mt. Paozu. Nature was calm that day as trees swayed in the wind. She missed the vibrant chirping of the birds that called this place their home. In fact, she sensed little to no wildlife. In the wake of chaos and bloodlust, Mt. Paozu had grown barren.
''...This is exactly where I felt it.'' Aida spoke softly, feeling a lump in her throat. ''Sensoa was here.''
The Shinjin felt a deep and petrifying chill run down her spine. She still sensed the remnants of Demonic taint that Sensoa had left in his wake. They were seething with rage and madness, feelings of vengeful and violent sorrow that could only belong to the most tainted of souls.
''Isn't it beautiful, Aida...?'' Moringa let out a delighted hum. If the imprisoned Demon had a face to speak of, he'd be carrying the most pleasant of smiles, as if you just caught a whiff of a freshly-baked apple pie. ''He has to be stoppped...!'' The Shinjin hissed, ''T-this is terrible! It's like the entire planet is s-screaming for help!'' She clutched her chest and gripped the fabric of her robe tightly, attempting to focus on her breathing.
''Aaah, it is music to my ears~!''
Aida ignored her partner's delighted musings, and leapt off the tree-top, taking to the skies. She flew not too far from the ground, gliding over the treetops as she kept a close eye on the forest grounds beneath her. ''We have to find a lead, Moringa. Someone here has to know more about Sensoa! We have to help save the Earth!''
''You, will help save the Earth. I, on the other hand, am simply very- VERY hungry.''
A moment passes.
''...Did you know that the local McBao's thrives off of Demonic energies as well? Their tenders are actually made with pure void esse-'' ''SHUT UP, MORINGA.''
Aida's PL: 100
Moringa's PL: 78,900
Items: Flute, Armor, Blaster, Demon Lamp

Ochra's PL: 170,722 The telepathic message had hit him hard, causing him to stagger. He hadn't been expecting it. Then again, he doubted anyone would have. His mind was trying to piece together what it was he just heard. And that voice. It took him a second to realize who the voice belonged to. "Tarch..."A wave of fear gripped him. What had happened to Tarch? Why was he sending out this message? Whatever the reason for it, it couldn't be good. The boy had to be in trouble, what else could it be. Ochra took a deep breath, trying to reach out and find his energy. And froze when he found nothing. The fear in his heart gripped tighter. He had to be out there! He kept on searching. Maybe he was hiding his power. He knew Tarch could do that. He hoped that was it, because the alternative, Ochra didn't even want to think about. What had happened to the boy? Where was he? He needed to find him. Ochra growled in frustration. What the hell was going on? With a low growl, energy crackled off of him. Dammit, his little friend was most likely in danger, and he couldn't do a damn thing about it! |

Wind howled past the Shinjin as she flew across the vast jungles of Mt. Paozu, keeping her eyes and ears open for even the slightest of noise. What startled her however, was that there was none. Not the slightest chirp, not the faintest rustle of grass... Nothing. In the wake of Sensoa, every living creature had seemingly evacuated the mountain.
The silence terrified her unlike anything else.
With every passing second that she flew, the more this fear began to settle within her mind. A sense of despair and hopelessness quickly began to take root in Aida's mind, as if she and Moringa were the last people on Earth. Her breathing grew ragged under the stress, to which Moringa immediately took notice. ''Get a hold of yourself, Aida. We are too late here. Let us search for the nearest town, it's likely those cowardly Earthlings took shelter in their homes...'' Moringa's voice echoed out of the scythe within her grip. With slight hesitation, Aida skidded to a slow halt in mid-air, nodding bleakly. ''You're right,'' She sighed out. ''Allow me a moment to look around.''
As Aida closed her eyes, her senses began to amplify. Over the span of a few seconds, dozens of weak Ki signatures began to sprinkle into her surroundings like a radar, all tens of miles away. The clutters she felt had to represent Earthling settlements of some sort, that was where they had to g...-
Suddenly, an absurdly strong Ki appeared nearby.
''There is someone here.'' The Shinjin spoke hastily as her eyes opened, immediately traveling to the source where she felt it. The duo wasted no time and immediately traveled to the source, which they reached not even a few minutes later. Aida touched down on the forest grounds, several feet away from the tall, brooding stranger. ''Excuse me,'' Aida spoke cautiously, announcing her presence. ''You seem troubled.''
Aida allowed a moment of silence to fall over the two. Her stance was relaxed, keeping a soft grip on her scythe as she let the weapon droop to the ground. She wanted to be sure that whoever this man was, he'd know that Aida meant no harm. Moringa held silent for much of the same reason; This stranger could be the lead they've been searching for.
''Would you perhaps know what happened to this place? I was alerted by a terrible, evil presence...But it seems I'm too late.'' She asked in a somber, soft tone.

Ochra had been too lost in his thoughts to notice the woman approaching. As a result, when she spoke out to him, he turned around, looking at her, a burst of energy radiating off of him before he could stop himself. It took him a second to gauge the strength of this unusual woman. Odd. He could sense two powers from her. One very weak, and something much stronger...much darker. But regardless, neither were really any threat to him, so he didn't need to concern himself with that too much. "Sorry," he murmured, realizing his initial reaction might come off as a little intimidating. It certainly hadn't been his intention.
When she asked him what had happened, and speaking of a terrible evil on the planet, Ochra shook his head. "I'm afraid you'll need to be more specific," Ochra said, his voice a low rumble. "It seems like there's always some terrible evil running around in this galaxy. Seemingly moreso more than ever." he gave a small sigh. "I can't say I know. I felt a burst of energy, and...something. I can't say for certain, but I do know something horrible's just happened." He looked away for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts. Everything had seemed so simple in the past. Now things were just getting more and more complicated.
He turned back to the unusual woman. "Can you give me some more information? Perhaps I can help you."

The Shinjin took a step backwards as the imposing Saiyan turned to face her, stiffening up with a jolt of fear. There was some terrifying power locked within this stranger. While she likely just caught him off-guard, Aida noted to continue approaching with caution. The explosive power within most Saiya-jin was something truly worth fearing. His response to Aida's question didn't do much to soothe her anxiety. The Shinjin let out a somber hum, nodding in response. The constant evil roaming the Galaxy had certainly reached a new high since centuries. Tension was thick within the cosmos, and just like Aida feared, everything was at stake here. The very balance of the universe. ''Apologies for being so vague,'' Aida spoke humbly. ''It seems we felt the same sensation, then. I felt a terrible surge of Demonic power, and then...Nothing. Something dreadful happened here...The air feels tainted by death.'' She went on to explain, gazing around the thick forests around them as she did so. Still, there wasn't the slightest peep of any wildlife. Simply the wind blowing through the tree's leaves. Everything had a strange, eerie feel to it.
The young Kai nodded as Ochra asked for more information regarding the supposed disaster. She could only hope he'd know more, so it was worth a shot. Firstly however, introductions were in order. ''I am Aida, a Shinjin from Otherworld. I've come to the mortal lands to rid this plane of evil. You've likely sensed it already, but I am not alone,'' She explained, presenting her scythe to the tall Saiyan. The Demonic weapon hummed with ominous, dark energy. It seeped into the surrounding air, fading into nothing. ''This is Moringa. He is my partner. Together, we travel the universe in search of evil.'' Aida looked up at Ochra to see if he was still following.
''Greetings,'' A dark voice echoed from the weapon. ''You seem like less of a headache than your simian kin.''
An odd silence emerged after Moringa's...Compliment. Aida cleared her throat, lowering her arm to let the weapon fall to her side. She cast an apologetic look to the Saiyan, smiling faintly. He wasn't angry, was he?
''A-Anyway.'' Aida spoke nervously, taking a quick breath before composing herself. ''Recently, a great evil has made itself known to the Galaxy. He...He threatens the very balance of the cosmos. If this Demon is not stopped, all life on this world- all worlds, will cease to exist.''
Her words were a heavy load to swallow. A great, nearly incomprehensible threat that no mortal could ever truly grasp the scale of. Hundreds upon hundreds of lives were at stake. The entire West Galaxy...And soon, all others. Aida cast a hollow gaze at the ground as she spoke up, her voice filled with dread and urgency.
''This Demon's name...Is Sensoa.''
A terrible silence fell onto the mountain, followed by a gust of wind that howled past.

Ochra listened as the young woman spoke. Well, the fact that she was drawn here by demonic energy certainly narrowed things down a bit. There were only two individuals that would match that, and one, as far as he knew, was dead. That left only one individual, and Ochra was getting a sinking feeling he knew who they were talking about.
The woman then introduced herself as a Shinjin. He knew there was something unusual about her. Something about her energy. But not only that, but that other power he sensed as well. the scythe she carried. He could feel demonic energy coming off of it. Quite curious for a Shinjin to carry around a demonic weapon like that. When she mentioned that they had come here to rid the world of evil, Ochra gave a small snort. "Rid the world of evil huh? I've encountered a number of people who claimed to be doing that. And they ended up being worse than the so-called 'evil' they fight." Maybe Aida was legitimate. But after everything, Ochra was a little bit jaded from those wanting to destroy evil.
And then it came. The name, and the confirmation of what Ochra had suspected. "Sensoa..." he let out a low growl as he clenched his fists. He remembered their last encounter on Namek, the change that came over him after Kitiana's death. A wave of energy crackled over Ochra's body. So, had he been the one to do it? Was Sensoa responsible for what happened to Tarch? If so, why? the boy had done nothing to the demon. Nothing! "Yes...I know him..." her growled.

Aida grimaced as she felt the Saiyan's power spike. She knew that Sensoa had made a name for himself across the cosmos, but to this extent? Even though she was looking around for more information on the Demon, somewhere she was hoping that his name would be foreign to Ochra. It would atleast mean that he hadn't influenced everyone's lives with despair and tragedy. There was a strange thing about it, though. The suppressed anger within the Saiyan was terribly obvious, much more than someone who only 'knows' of Sensoa would show. Perhaps it was just a hunch, but this felt personal to Aida.
The Shinjin felt Moringa enter her mind, seemingly having also picked this up. 'He is hiding something, Aida. He doesn't seem like he'd be Sensoa's dear friend, but be on your guard regardless.' The Demon's voice echoed within her mind. Aida remained silent, her expression softening as she looked at Ochra. ''I can understand you'd be wary of me, especially with all the corrupt people that plague this realm currently, but I'm not here to justify myself. I'm here to find Sensoa.'' Aida spoke in a confident tone. She didn't care for Ochra's trust, really. All her concerns and fears were due to Sensoa, and he was the only thing Aida cared about in this instant.
Her eyes narrowed slightly at the Saiyan. ''...You're angry, I can feel it.'' The young Kai prodded. She was playing with fire here, sticking her nose into the business of an obviously agitated Saiyan. However, Ochra's admittance to knowing Sensoa gave her hope of finding a valuable lead. This was her only shot. ''Sensoa's spread of a lot of disaster, but with you...It's direct. You know him personally, don't you?'' Aida asked.
'Leave it there.' Moringa commanded. 'Do not push him too much. You know damn well what a Super Saiyan can do, Aida.' He spoke to the young Kai in a scolding tone. Aida recalled her past fight with Kayen, and just how soundly she was defeated. She shuddered at the memory. Not again.
She let out a small sigh, looking up at Ochra, hoping to make eye contact. ''Please...This is a very real threat. It...It's very important that you try and tell me what you know. I'm here to help.'' Aida spoke in a soft, gentle tone. Perhaps if she'd be less nosey, Ochra would be more willing to share his knowledge. Besides, it's not like she was lying. Aida really had the best intentions here. She truly wished to help in Sensoa' defeat, and save the Earth from impending doom.
