While it had been some time since Cin had abandoned his old temple in the east, he had yet to fulfill his dreams. In short, he wanted to reach modern civilization, and live among modern folk. It was a sight he had always wanted to see, a city. While there were pictures, paintings, and other art works depicting such environments back at his old home, none would truly compare to the actual thing. This was his thought process at least.
Escaping the temple proved to be an easy feat, and while none of his 'old friends' had managed to track him down yet, he felt his time would come eventually. The monks of the temple had taught him many secrets, things they wouldn't want getting out to the public. Whether it be their business practices, or martial arts techniques, Cin knew them all. Especially considering he'd grown up there. For this reason, he suspected the old masters could use some of their wealth to create a bounty, or even send a few of the better trained students after him. It was a possibility, but not an incredibly high one. Living in the city would help him blend in, potentially avoiding this fate.
Currently, the young man found himself heading west, carving his way through a massive bamboo forest of sorts. His blade would slash horizontally through the plants as they would appear, and while he was exerting little effort doing so, it was beginning to grow tiresome. While he knew of the flying technique that many fighters could use, he lacked the knowledge to do it himself. That would be another thing he hoped to find outside the temple, a more powerful master. He knew such fighters existed, but had never witnessed them personally. Finding someone who could best him would make for an excellent tutor.
Cin eventually would reach a clearing in the brush where the sun shined through to the floor. A pile of fallen bamboo branches would also be seen, and make a perfect spot to rest. The warrior would wipe the blade clean of dew using the inside of his elbow, and take a seat on the pile. He would begin to contemplate if leaving was the right decision, but one glance back at his sword was all it took to reassure himself. What was the point in having his strength if he didn't also have freedom?

"Why are we out here again?" Despite the constant complains Wright put out, the boy didn't seem too worse for wear. "I'm not tired per-se but I don't see the point of hiking through some random forest filled with tubular plant growth." All of his obnoxiously colored clothing was getting dirtied and scratched up by all the leaves and twigs and dirt! A small pulse of energy was enough to cut through the thickets in his path, but such repeated uses of power would surely take a toll on him "Which, by the way, feel free to help with since you're the one with an infinite energy core, buddy." Camo simply smirked in response, watching from Wright's shoulder in a disinterested manner. "You're doing better than I thought with the whole hiking thing. And clearing the path thing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you surpassed my expectations, blondie! Didn't expect a weirdo like you to know Ki or be so fit."
Wright grumbled, stopping for a moment by a small crick. "I'm technologically savvy, not allergic to outdoor areas. Sides' I'm not exactly a normal human either. I got tech ticking away hidden under all my lovely flesh. And before you ask, no, it wasn't desired or done on purpose. That shit was and is the only thing keeping me from dying a horrible death due to an incurable disease. It just happens to have some side effects like stamina and basic manipulation." For once, Camo seemed at a loss for words, curling up slightly. "Ah, well, that makes sense... er. I won't share this specific part with Father if you don't want it known...?" Scoffing, the teen turned his head backs towards the path. "Go ahead and tell him, what do I care? You tell him all other private aspects of my life already."
Though a small beep caused him pause, the boy fishing out a Scouter and affixing it to his head. "We got company up ahead. Power Level of forty-thousands. Should probably steer clear- ah fuck. Your signature is clear and easy to read because of that core you got. Well let it be known that if I die in some fuckoff forest, I officially blame Crop Co." Yet what else was there to do besides reveal himself? Traipsing through an empty forest was getting boring anyway. At least this way he'd get some sort of entertainment, no matter what form it may take.

Cin's brief moment of relaxation would be broken, as he felt something new near by. There was a decent energy signature in the distance, one significantly smaller than his own, but much greater than the average man's. By his guess, it was one of the younger monks looking to drag him back to the monastery. This kid probably thought he could take on the greatest fighter the place had ever seen. Cin wasn't trying to be prideful or dramatic, it was just a cold hard fact. He recognized people stronger than himself existed, but none of those people were in that dojo. He would simply roll his eyes and mutter to himself, "I wonder who those old fools sent... If it's that one kid I swear."
The man would stand up with his left hand on the hilt of his blade, ready to draw the weapon if need be. While he was usually the type to strike first, this could be just some random traveler, but that seemed unlikely. Deciding to be on full guard, the man would unleash his full power, causing a white aura to flare up around his body. In this state, his strength was doubled, and would hopefully large enough to scare off any would-be assailants. Deciding to give a verbal warning as well, the swordsman would shout into the forest "Hey! If you're from the temple, or were hired by the temple, you better stay out of my way... I've made my choice! I'm going to reach the city, and I'm keeping the damn sword!" His grip on the weapon would tighten, and he would look down on the blade. He had only wielded Nameless for a short time, but it was the most effective weapon he had ever had the pleasure of using. If he were to be defeated, it would be ripped from his grasp.
With that in mind, he would keep is guard up, expecting the unexpected was a specialty of his.

"Eh, chief... not so sure about this anymore," Wright stopped in his tracks as the stranger's Power Level suddenly doubled. No doubt they had detected the damnable Crop Co bot hitchhiking on his personage and thought of them as a potential threat. "We don't really gotta go through this forest, right? I mean it ain't like you told me what the point even was, so it can't be too crucial. Unless you can think of an effective way to actually try diplomacy without getting torn to shreds on-sight." The Plexbit may have been able to handle such rough treatment, but Wright's own power was relatively low no matter how you sliced it. He'd be the tiny morsel of an appetizer to the buffer that was someone like this guy. It wasn't even impressive by galactic standards. LEO, for example, was one of the strongest things currently in existence. And she was little more than a construct made by some midget Saiyan!
"I'd like to assess this seemingly powerful person. If they are up to anything nefarious it must be reported to Father at once." The machine chirped in much to Wright's dismay. "Assess? If they wanted to do anything crooked, silencing us would be pretty easy. You aren't exactly the epitome of 'power', even for one of the warbots Carro made. Look, lets use our heads, yeah? We triggered this person pretty hard, hard enough to make them use a transformation. They could easily kill us with a fart. The only smart solution is to turn around and leave-" Detaching himself from the brightly colored perch that was Wright himself, Camo bounded towards the source of the power without a care in the world. "-H-hey! Get back here you frickin' calculator! If anything bad happens to you it's on MY head so-"
It was clear the Plexbit had no intention of heeding Wright's words as it continued deeper into the clearing. Cin would sense the foreign power coming closer and closer... only to see a hand-sized robo-chameleon come leaping out of the bushes - squinting at him suspiciously. "Hold it right there buster, you haven't been given clearance to approach the city! Your suspicion readings are quite literally so off the charts that I had to draw a new, separate chart just to plot out the perfect parabola to suit such data! Explain to me why you are trying to seek refuge in a protected area from these 'temple' people. Have you done anything bad of note that would cause you to be such an outcast!?"
Wright would come following shortly after, hair and jacket tangled and mired by leaves and twigs as he held his hands up in surrender. "Ay ay! I mean no harm, sorry about any potential misunderstandings or scares. Charmy, you're coming back with me and leaving this... probably nice man alone since we don't want any trouble." The words were placating enough though it would become evident to Cin that this seemingly human boy didn't have any detectable power of his own.

Cin would hear distant voices in the brush, probably whispers. Did the temple actually send two of their students after him? If that was the case, then one of the guys had an insignificant power level. Whoever they were, there seemed to be a lot of talking. He couldn't quite make it all out, but maybe they were planning to ambush him. If this was the extent of their power, then he had little to fear. Then again, some fighters could mask their energy, so that was always a possibility. One way or another, he was about to find out for himself... Noticing a bit of rustling ahead, he would crouch down into an offensive stance. "Lets end this quickly..."
Without hesitation, a strange creature would leap out of the brush. It was small and reptilian, yet also oddly colored as if it was a machine. Whatever it was, that massive amount of power seemed to be coming from it. That was quite the surprise, but perhaps a better question would be the source of it's strength. For such a small creature, it's power was enormous. "Oh... Hey there little g--" his jaw would drop as it began to actually speak to him. The man's weapon would fumble onto the ground, and he would scramble backwards. "Gah! A talking chameleon! What the--" He would then listen the the creature speak, saying he didn't have clearance to enter the city, and was suspected to be some kind of criminal. Truth be told, he had technically committed a crime, as the sword was stolen. At the same time however, he was begin hunted by the monks for a multitude of reasons, none of which were necessarily unlawful. "Clearance to approach a city? It's a city, not a country... What kind of clearance would a traveler possibly need?"
After composing himself, Cin would step forward again to pick up his blade. "I'm not exactly seeking refuge. I'm here to live life. I was born into a temple, ran by monks, many miles away from here. They don't take kindly to their own leaving. I know their secrets, and for that reason alone I'll be hunted. Again, that's not why I'm here. I've longed to see life in the big city for quite some time, perhaps I could even make a life there." Deciding the small thing was no threat, Cin's strength would return to it's passive state. "Speaking of which... You mentioned the city, so I must be getting close, right?"
Cin would then hear the call of a young man not too far off. Apparently this chameleon was with someone. "Friend of your's little one?"

"Clearance in which I am thoroughly assured that you pose no danger! We've had our fair share of issues with super-powered nerds like you causing all sorts of trouble for everyday folk, and that is something Crop Co. stands firmly against!" The human seemed started that he could talk, which was odd to him. "Of course I can talk! I am a proud Plexbit, not any average color-changing reptilian crawling around among the trees." And then when he started to explain, the other human - this one being stupid - butted in on the middle of the conversation. Pah! As if he had any authority here. "Well if you're telling the truth then I suppose you - and we - have nothing to fear. IF you're telling the truth, that is! Cause any trouble and I'll call for my Big Sister. And trust me, you don't want that to go down, bub. As for YOU, blondie, I already told you what I planned to do. If I wish to assess I assess!"
Wright's smile twitched only slightly, eyes hidden beneath his tropical sunglasses. "Friends? Heh. Something like that. And as your Friend, Charmy, I really don't think we have any business harassing this guy with the sword any longer. If he did pose a threat to the city he'd no doubt get squashed by a Hero or two roaming the area, yeah?" The android at least seemed willingly to budge ever so slightly, evidenced by Camo hopping back onto Wright's shoulder and hunkering down while still giving Cin a suspicious glare. "Look, I'm sure you'll love one of our two famous cities nearby. East is the big one with all the smog and pizza parlors, while Satan City is the more tourist-centric spot. You'd probably blend in better there if you're on the lam from some bounty hunter bozos."

Having calmed down from the talking lizard (who was apparently some kind of robot), Cin would begin to understand the creature's concerns. His power was significant, can could potentially threaten those who lived in the city, so caution was sensible. That said, if he was that powerful then this little guy wouldn't stand much of a chance against him. The thing also mentioned something about a big sister, that sounded ominous, but not necessarily scary. Either way, he wasn't looking to start a fight, especially not against a tiny lizard. Scratching the back of his head, Cin would confirm "Heh heh, no trouble makers around here. Promise." While he was sincere in that answer, things were bound to come up. Chances were, trouble would find him eventually, but not the other way around. "So.. Eh, who's blondie over there?"
The younger fellow with noticeably blonde hair would explain they were just travelers, not looking to start trouble. It seemed he was starting to get close to not just one, but two cities. The guy mentioned Satan City being a perfect place for tourism. That was quite a strange name for a city however, as that world was a demon name. Why would earthling name a city after dark beings who plagued them for centuries? That was a question that would go unanswered for the time being. "Satan City... Odd name, but it does sound like the kind of place I'm looking for. Speaking of which, why is a boy and his lizard all the way out here, in the middle of this forest?"
Many questions were being brought to his mind, the young man's energy for example. The boy's body seemed to be undetectable by his estimate, and that was quite unusual. It was the first time he had encountered an undetectable living being...
