Borosel was still inside the tank, as the doctors monitored his vitals. "I remember this boy, used to come here a lot before Frieza took over. When that happened, he was too busy in space all the time." One of the doctors commented, before the statistics warranted his attention. "There we go. The other things I remember about him were his raher remarkable recovery rate, which was notable even within a tank, and-" Wham, the front door of a rejuvenation tank went flying past.
"And he couldn't be bothered to ever let the thing open up before letting himself out. Sigh, how are you Borosel? Is just crossing over into the afterlife too much of a bother even in the near death states you find yourself in?" The doctor commented, pulling Borosel's old armour down from a nearby wall. "You also forgot this the last time you were here." "Oh hey, my red armour. Thanks - sorry I left it here all that time." Borosel laughed it as he took it and dusted it off a bit, before putting in on.
Fit like a glove. Then again, considering these things stretched outwards to the size of an Oozaru, that was understandable. He tapped it on the chest area a few times, just to make sure the old thing hadn't cracked after nearly a decade (okay several, but it didn't exist for a good number of those) of storage. "By the way, where's Celeria?" "Oh her? I believe she went to one of the training rooms. In fact, it would appear she's activated it. Nothing to worry about, just stay here and eat a while."

He watched and waited for her response. He closed his eyes just barely as he read her body motions. She wasn't happy at all and he had an idea as to why. The screens she had been looking over were soon dead and she had hit another switch. For an older system it was still in running condition and she had activated the rooms defenses. Oh yes she was pissed about something and most likely that was him.
He sighed when the room had sealed itself and he breathed in once. " First of all....i need to know how you figured out my name. Only a handfull of people knew that name and most of them would not risk revealing that name. " He remained still, his arms folded over his chest. She was ready to lash out but she seemed to be holding herself remarkably. Things had to be very calm and spoken clearly to avoid a major disaster for this area. So he waited for her reply.

"Don't you know who I am?" She proceeded walking towards him confidently, yet with an eerie calm about her. "A commander of my standing can know anything and everything with ease." With each consecutive step, her power level became more intense and her dim aura shined brighter. "Now, you are probably wondering as to why I am acting so... heh, impulsive. Truth is, I'd rather paint these walls with your blood or have you destroy me while I'm at it for what happened back there." Her eyes were locked, staring deeply and sharply into his own.
"And the reason they would fear revealing your name is that the universe is full of sad little weaklings who feel obliged to gossip. Don't expect details from me. After all, one must protect their sources, right?" With a devious and sour grin, Celeria had spoken more cruelly than ever before. The only thing she held in high regard was her honour as a fighter and she had always gone to the farthest lengths in order to preserve it. Thus, she would not have it questioned and it made no difference even if it was brought into question by someone nearly five times her own strength. Even if he were to kill her, she'd make sure to leave a gaping scar. She chuckled lightly before bending her elbows and tightening her hands into clenched fists before proceeding: "Now tell me, what's stopping me from reducing you to bodyparts, along with the rest of the expendable portion of this building?"

Borosel took up the doc on his offer, and went to get some food from the cafeteria. Much to his dismay, someone had already licensed the distribution of the fruit he'd found earlier as an item to sell. In other words, he could still pick it from trees for his own personal use, but selling them off was a no-no. So much for his dream of a giant farm of the things. But then in hindsight, that would've been dumb anyways. He was planning on going to space afterall.
Now as to what they (Celeria and him) were gonna do when they got to space, was unknown. Sure he had said about going back to being 'true' saiyans, but even he wasn't fully sure about what he meant by that. And Celeria had talked of restoring their purpose... maybe they'd need help on that. "Well if we got both our old crews together, and pulled a couple of strings... thats maybe half a hundred saiyans at our banner. Possibly more since theres probably some people Cel knows but I don't. Maybe we'll start our own colony. Or maybe a new PTO. Ideas seem in large supply."

He watched her body language carefully. This was a dangerous moment indeed with the way she was holding herself. But there were truths in her words though but also things even she didn't know. There were reasons those that new his true name would be unlikely to spread that knowledge. But for now he watied calmly so as not to push this beyond what need be. And his first guess was true. She was pissed at him and this brought him some satisfaction.
When she finally stoped he noted that she had powered up the closer she had come to him. He breathed in and kept his eyes locked on her. " Nice to hear your true feelings. But know I do not know who you are. I don't like digging up anothers past or present status unless it is a mission. In your case i wanted to find out the fun way, by talking it out of you during training. " He remained relaxed but was also ready just in case. He didn't know what was going to happen but it would be good to be prepared. " Those that know me would not tell out of fear but because of orders. They....were my team at one point and our last mission ended badly. Because of me and thus my name and their oders not to spread that name was put into place when we recovered. It is their honor that would prevent them from running their mouths. "
" I agree about your refusal of details. But that doesn't concern me. Inteligence gathering is not my thing. I'm a fighter and nothing more. That is part of the reason you get under my skin so badly. " He moved closer to her this time at her last words. " I don't know why you shouldn't. But perhaps you are curious about why you haven't so far. " He unfolded his arms finally and stopped. There was only an inch between them as he looked down into her eyes. " Celeria without any restrictions in training or a fight against a living person or persons...i run the chance of killing them in a short time. Often that has caused me much trouble and it is something I do not like. My rage is different so do not confuse the two. " He leaned in alittle closer. " And i'll probably wind up regretting this but you seem to make these actions come out of me without much thought. " He placed a soft kiss on her lips for a breif few seconds before pulling back. " I wish....you and I could be more. I have started careing about you. "

She felt greatly agitated, however, his unusually mild tone had surprised her. Celeria found his mood swings strange; at one moment he was a ferocious warrior, and the very next, he was as subtle and tender as if he weren't a saiyan to begin with. This was certainly a strange fighter. Given his calm explanations, she saw it only courteous to subdue her own rage, at least to the point of not being so apparently ticked-off. When he went on to explain the strange fact about his name, she had related it to the story she had already received. She had been going over data of past conquests and managed to run into an anomaly; consulting her team and their connections, his name managed to surface. Indeed, he seemed to be an epitome of duality.
Resting her arms by her sides, she had also unclenched her fists and assumed a fairly casual stance. She was the type to allow others a few words before she bestowed her "justice". He went further to suggest his inexplicable fondness of her as he eventually leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. This didn't really anger Celeria, as it wasn't an offense of any kind. However, when he withdrew and professed his care, she gave him a serious look and proceeded:
"I though this was done with. I told you I am only interested in your fighting potential, as well as your allegiance. You know well that I have no intention of mating in the near future. It isn't my primary function, given the position bestowed upon me in the saiyan militia, one I am still to uphold." Upon saying this, she looked to the side, turning around and walking a few steps away from him, before stopping and crossing her arms. She lifted her right hand only to punch in some buttons. She then pressed a small, white switch to deactivate the training mode for the chamber. With her back still turned to him, she added a few more words, which beckoned to be expressed:
"Why do you persist? I really don't get it. Regardless, the training barriers will be lifted in five minutes and I will be leaving. I have business to attend to."

As Borosel considered the possibilities, someone came and sat across from him. He only raised his head when that person addressed him by name, and surprise surprise - an old friend. "Well, well, this is a day for the history books. You actually left the chair old man." Borosel smiled as he shook Dandeli's hand, something that certainly hadn't happened in a long time. Far too long, actually.
"Don't patronise me the first day in two months I walk more than five metres. But all joking aside, you really shouldn't talk about plans like those in public. People nowadays either don't give a damn or are the most extreme of loyalists. And strong as you may be for your class, even you couldn't fight off a full squad of saiyans." "Ha! I could take those pansies any day." Borosel said with a boisterous laugh as he chugged down his ale. Breathing out heavily afterwards, he wiped his mouth, before deciding to ask something.
"So what brings you here? Can't have been just to eavesdrop right?" Borosel was genuinely confused - Dandeli was a lazy old man, and veteran of the Saiyan-Tuffle war. After that though, he'd actually reached the minimum age for retirement for the saiyan military within less than a year - he was that freaking ancient. "Just read this. And not aloud, or I'll punch you." Yeah... best be quiet about this then.
Borosel unfolded the piece of paper handed to him, and began to read the contents. From the looks of it, it was the census details of a human. Wait... a human...? "Took a while, but we found someone who matches all your details." He'd actually remembered that old request of Borosel's? But yeah, it all matched. Brown hair, good build, even the face was as Borosel remembered it. Now lets see the name... "Certainly an odd one, I'll give him that."

Jinzon watched her and only shook his head. He knew That she wasn't intrested in that form of companionship. He wasn't either but he wanted someone at his side to care for. And she had been the only one in his life so far that got to him, drove him mad and pushed him. When she looked away and walked away to do something at the computer he spoke again. " It is simple really. I know you don't want that type of relationship anytime soon. " He watched her still.
" Beleive it or not i'm not looking for that either. But I want you by my side as my companion. I want that future to be with you. I have nothing left in my life, no potential left untill now. The elite training is nothing more than a means to increase my power, my self control and the status of it. " He looked down not sure why he was telling this to her. But that was one of the reasons he was after her to begin with. " Celeria I persist because no one else that has been around me has driven me like you have and continue to do. I know that my training you will bring you so much potential and that your pressense and constant...." He tried finding a word for what he wanted. " I guess it could be called challenge is pushing me into something i'm not sure about. "
" Just tell me you and I have a chance to be together. I have no wish for a family yet, not untill our people are back to the way we should be. But to have you as my own, and to be yours would be an honor for me. I need an answer to this and soon. And i still hold to my word, after the elite training we can go on your mission. I'll do my best to make your dreams come true. " He walked up to her so that she couldn't leave just yet. " Without your unique challenge my potential is gone. Training you is giving me more than i had bargined for. "

Celeria grinned after he had finished his address. With her back still to him, she spoke: "So which do you find useful, you training me or me training you? Let's say I know my way around the saiyan mind, and thus, the shortcuts to unlocking new potential. Oh, and, when the time comes, I'll explain a few things to you regarding that Elite training you seem to be so fond of. And as to the rest..."
She slowly turned around towards him and looked directly into his eyes. "You don't even know what the mission is... perhaps when you find out, you won't be so forthcoming. Save your professions until you know all the details. And you're welcome to come along so that I may reveal them to you now." The mechanical barriers were lifted up once more and Celeria made her way past him and to the door. Pressing the switch, they slid open. Making her way through, she turned back towards him. "Be so kind as to follow me." With a grin still on her face she was now in the hallway.
"Now, where is Borosel..." She tapped her scouter a few times before it stopped when it found its location. She then remembered she could read power levels. "Silly habit..." - she thought to herself and chuckled. She would, however, continue using her scouter as that would be a great idea to hide the true extent of her power-sensing abilities. Making sure Jinzon was not far behind her, she proceeded to the lounge room. There she made her way to Borosel, addressing him swiftly and straight-forwardly: "So, you're back on your feet. Well, now it's time to use them. We're going somewhere." It was then she caught sight of an old, daresay, colleague. "Dandeli, you old dog - out and about, eh?" She gave a slight laugh, but she still felt glad to have seen another person from her cherished past. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I've urgent business. We must share a drink sometime to catch up on the good old days, deal?" With a smirk, she slowly turned around and made her way back to the exit. Looking once more in Jinzon's direction, she made it out of the building and waited for the two of them at the arrival polygon. If she had gained two allies, rather than only one, it would be genuinely favorable. But before she could jump to any conclusions, she needed to lay out the plan.

Borosel doubted he'd forget such a weird name any time soon, and slipped the paper under his armour. He then turned his head to see - surprise, surprise - Celeria enter the room. "So, you're back on your feet. Well, now it's time to use them. We're going somewhere." "Fine by me - guessing you weren't too busy." He said leaving his chair, noting her surprise as to Dandeli's presence. "Is it really that much of a shocker?" "Yes." Borosel said bluntly in response to the old man's question.
"Bah, whatever. And sure I'll take you up on that drink. In fact, I think I've still got some vintage tymula around somewhere." Dandeli began to talk to himself as he walked out of the cafeteria, the sound of crashing not far down the hallway. Borosel however doubted the old man would be in that much pain, and followed Celeria out of the complex altogether, and stood behind her on the arrival polygon. "So what next?"

He growled at her response. She was avoiding giving him a direct answer to a pretty direct request. He tensed his body and kept himself restrained and calm. " I find them both of equal value. And you still underestimate my desire for you. " This was all he could say at the moment. Not wanting to press it much further right now. He turned and tuned out most of what she said after than but followed her.
When they reached the cafateria he stopped at the door. He didn't care for the place when he was on his own time. He didn't know many people here anyway and that was good. When she and Borosel left he followed. Running things through his mind quickly and repeatedly. He knew he was on the verge of something deep inside but could not fathom its purpose. Nor could he find out what was holding it back when he was doing everything in his power to reach into it and bring it to the surface.
Then there was the thoughts of what he could do to push her further. To make her see what he felt inside for her and for what she was doing to him. He understood her enough on her plans. He wanted someone as his own, to fight with and train with. Someone he could share his bed with just for the enjoyment of it. He didn't want a family, not with so much still left to do. All it would take was afew simple words from her to give him the best reason to continue or to drop this as it is.

Celeria stepped outside and took a moment to survey the horizon as the wind slowly waved her silky green hair, the warm sunlight lavishly glistening off its surface. Borosel and Jinzon soon followed. She would proceed to take them back to her apartment, where she would place her very life in their hands by showing them an unmatched trust required to reveal her dangerous, yet complex and, ultimately, maybe even noble cause. She took a moment to compose herself and slowly turned around to them. As she was about to proceed and tell them where they were headed, she felt something. Something she had not felt for years. Her muscles were overcome by an uncomfortable shudder. Now? This very second? But how could this possibly be? It was unmistakable. This was it. Celeria's mind ran wild as her eyes widened and she felt at a loss for breath. She felt her heart beating in her throat. For a moment, her face revealed complete shock. Celeria was now, quite apparently, deeply disturbed. Without wasting a thought, Celeria shouted:
"BOROSEL!" - She made a few swift steps forward towards him, tapping her scouter several times, transmitting a numeric keycode and a location, and momentarily proceeding - "You are to immediately make way for the space port. There you will purchase a middle-sized ship, model ZX-74, along with the training room and rejuvenation tank upgrades, complete with four space pods. Take this (here she tossed him the bundle he had entrusted her with earlier) and I've transmitted you a numeric passcode so you can withdraw exactly 4500 zenny from my private account. The total purchase will cost no more than nine thousand." Celeria's hands began to tremble, lightly, but visibly. To Borosel's astounded gaze, she responded only with greater haste: "Go! NOW! There is absolutely no time to waste!" Seeing Borosel blast off meant that everything had been set in motion. The despondent faces of her crew and all her comrades flashed in her mind and she knew that her ultimate quest was to restore them the sense of purpose they had lost. However, once she turned to Jinzon, her distraught feelings had quieted, and she was surprised to feel somewhat of a deep and heavy pain. She slowly walked towards him and looked into his eyes:
"I cannot accept what you're offering me. What I am about to undertake goes against all of your beliefs. Furthermore, I would not expect you to understand. What I am about to do is neither for me, nor for you - but for the entire saiyan race. For the future. A future in which the saiyans will have a purpose and a rightful place." She made a few steps forward and slowly took off the ground. There she hovered, a few inches off, when she turned towards him. For this one instant, she felt overcome by certain sensations she had not felt for what seemed like decades.
"Jinzon..." She continued to look into his eyes as she raised her right palm and softly placed it upon his cheek. "I cannot say whether I will return alive. I cannot say if I will ever return. But I also cannot expect you to follow me." Her gaze fell to the side. As difficult as everything seemed - she had made a vow, a vow to her crew and to her race. Her eyes then went back and looked once more into his, perhaps for the very last time. She would now come to utter something she had not said many times. "Thank you. And forgive me." Closing her eyes, she drew in and pressed her lips ever so softly upon his cheek. Still near him, she began powering up and, within an instant, she blasted off towards the center of the city, across the main hospital.

Borosel noted that Jinzon had followed them, but if Cel was okay with it, then he would be also. He watched as she tensed up, as if some great nightmare had returned to haunt her. "Hey, er Celeria... you okay over there?" He asked her, before she suddenly yelled at him. "BOROSEL!" "Y-yes?" Borosel asked, surprised by Celeria's sudden change in mood from her usually calm self, even her anger at Jinzon hadn't been as shocking as this.
A series of numbers beeped onto his scouter, and Celeria began to order him around like he was part of her squad or something. "You are to immediately make way for the space port. There you will purchase a middle-sized ship, model ZX-74, along with the training room and rejuvenation tank upgrades, complete with four space pods. Take this and I've transmitted you a numeric passcode so you can withdraw exactly 4500 zenny from my private account. The total purchase will cost no more than nine thousand." Borosel nearly didn't catch the money she tossed him back, and for the first few moments smply looked at her. What in the world could be going on that wou-
"Go! NOW! There is absolutely no time to waste!" "Okay okay! I'm going!" Borosel yelled, flying off towards the space port. Few things scared him in this world, and one of them was Celeria. But as for things that scared her... He knew of none. So what in the world could this be? "Lets just hope it doesn't get her killed."
(End of thread)
