“You know damn well what I’m offering you! You can see what I’m offering you just by looking at me!” Viral growled, raising his fists to his sides, “You would think that me being alive and stronger some mental control that you would stand no chance against is a sign that I am in better health than I was when I was under the Saiyan’s control…but no! Of course not! That’s not good enough for you! Are the condition the others are in not good enough for you either? Don’t excuse your cowardice, you are mad if you think these people would be better off under the Saiyans. They would rather see you dead and make more than let you live over one mistake!” This man was terrible at hiding his cowardice and what was worse was he was how he was putting many people on the line because he couldn’t understand leaving the Saiyans. They had already wasted enough time talking to this guy, it was no wonder that the Saiyans weren’t coming yet. “Are you wanting to fight me to prove my strength? Is that what you’re trying to say??”

Already at the end of his rope the kid was starting to irritate him even more, not because of the way they were acting but because they had become the centre of attention somehow. He didn’t care if they couldn’t fight, they all didn’t have to fight if they truly didn’t want to. Looking to the pair momentarily he groaned in annoyance, turning his attention to the woman again. “I don’t care if fighting isn’t their thing! We have plenty of fighters, one less soldier is not going to have us panicking…” He really didn’t care what the kid did, they could get adopted for all he cared. Watching as only further nonsense began to build up ending in the kid having a scream he sighed in annoyance, wondering if he might end up passing out because of this headache building up like crazy. Rubbing his head in annoyance he groaned at the concern that the kid would need someone to raise them. “The child doesn’t need to grow up to be a warrior if they don’t want to! They’re at the age where they can decide what they want to do…”

Shu was a little spooked and proceeded to curl up in a little ball trying to hide himself once he was rid of the strange clingy creature. He didn’t know how to handle something like that, he never really had a stranger cling onto him before and definitely found it too scary. When the kid started screaming for some reason Shu immediately became spooked, scooting across the floor at first before halting as he grabbed hold of his tail and held it close, not understanding at all what was going on. Having a tiny freak-out to himself he squeaked when Takeshi came over to him and placed a hand on his head, looking up to him as if unsure as to whether he was getting told off for it. “They scary! Holding onto me…don’t know whether gonna bite or scratch or drag me away!” he squeaked under his breath, “No like strangers holding me…no thanks…no thanks…”

Viral was starting to wonder whether he would be better off handing the negotiation over to Yumi, just to save his sanity by just the little bit that still existed. He didn’t know why this guy was trying to speak for all of them when there really wasn’t that many of them. If one was going to end up protesting then they would’ve spoke up by now, but all he could see was a bunch of Beastmen too afraid to oppose this lion guy. “Tch! Ironic how you’re modelled after a symbol of nobility and courage on my planet and yet you’re the biggest coward of them all. You sound so afraid of change that you’d put the rest of their happiness on the line…pathetic”. He wasn’t going to pull any punches with this guy. If he was afraid of starting a new life then he was a coward. It was disgusting and pitiful to want to drag these people back into their cages because of fear.

While it was proving difficult to convince him of the outside world it seemed pointing out Yumi was starting to turn a few cogs in the guy’s head. Staring at him as he expected him to say something about it he frowned at what he got, ending in an angry growl. They couldn’t all be dead, he was willing to bet a lot of those who were made into hybrids like Yumi probably thought that was their only chance in life too. All of this was his fault, there was no benefit in any of this. Staring at the floor for a moment he looked up as the woman spoke up again, frowning at her words. It was hard to tell if people were afraid of him or just hated the fact that someone who was created rather than born didn’t have to go through all the effort and years of training to become a good fighter. Staring at her before tensing up when she leaned against him he quickly bounced away, giving her an angry glare before looking to Takeshi when he decided it was a good time to speak up.

He didn’t really want to fight them if he didn’t have to, it would be an awful lot of people to fight as well if they all turned on them. Frowning at him he shot the scientist a glare when he immediately protested only to be knocked out by Takeshi and wheeled across the place. Despite how the guy smelled they would have to take him with them or risk having simply more Beastmen made under the Saiyans, seeing how they weren’t allowed to kill him. Maybe he can get Takeshi to tie him to the chair and they’d just wheel him along. Turning back to the Beastmen he frowned, his eyes going to the crowd quickly to see who might be the one that couldn’t fight. Not really knowing why one of them wouldn’t be able to fight he was taken aback when it turned out that it was a little kid. Just what were the Saiyans thinking with making a kid? Even if he was once a child a group like the Saiyans would never have one wandering around in amongst other Beastmen without using methods to bypass the whole child part. Staring down at the child he watched how they reacted, waiting to see what they had to say which was quickly cut short when the woman got annoyed and the kid made a dash to Shu, his eyes going the woman again. “Why did they make one so small…and cowardly…”

Shu didn’t really want to be a part of the conversation, he was already feeling intimidated with the number of Beastmen there were and what might happen if things got out of hand. He was certain something bad could still happen, but when it did it was in the form of a kid running at him and clinging onto his leg. Gasping, he tried to shake his leg before letting out a squeak, going onto his hands too and furiously shaking his leg. “No no! Leave Shu! No touch!”

@shylarahI AIM TO TORTU-I MEAN PLEASE YOU!

Yes, that's it...

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Cecil didn’t think anybody would want to take him seriously with his attempts at explaining the reason he changed so drastically in personality, even if they were trying to act like they understood and forgave him. They all saw him as completely different to when they first met him and doubted that he did it all out of his control. They would only forgive him for what he did, but he didn’t want that. To be forgiven was like saying he did it on purpose and later regretted his actions because he got told off. They would never understand or probably didn’t want to understand, they just wanted to get on with it and stop his complaining.

He didn’t mean to do it, he didn’t have control over his actions. He may had been a Machina with thought patterns akin to their own but that didn’t mean he didn’t malfunction. He didn’t even know if it was a malfunction and if it was it meant he wasn’t fit to be around them. He would have to shut himself down to keep out of trouble. He felt depressed too because he had been doing so well to please them like destroying those big slime monsters, he even got shown some sort of compassion akin to a display of friendship. He wasn’t getting anything anymore, though. It made him feel cold and empty inside as everyone was starting to shun him in one way or another. Even as he waited in the cart he cowered in the corner when Wyth only showed aggression towards him, holding his head as he hid his face.

As it all finally started to settle down again Cecil went from cowering in the corner of the cart to slowly but surely laying down on his side, his knees up close to his chest. He just wanted to take up as little room as possible and hide away, simply pretend he didn’t exist. Maybe Wyth would like it more if it couldn’t see him, it would probably make everybody happier if he was causing less trouble than what it was worth. Keeping quiet throughout the whole ride through town he simply listened to all that was going on around him, feeling blind to the usual hustle and bustle he enjoyed watching. He couldn’t face them, not while he was like this. Contemplating on switching off for the day the sound of Nymira shouting beyond the crowd’s chatter caught his interest. Turning his head slightly he soon slowly sat up, peaking over the side before up to the balcony. He didn’t know what was happening but it was catching a lot of people’s interest while apparently having a connection to the guy who ran off. Maybe once that was all over they’d all be able to carry on to where ever they were going, hopefully to the city where he felt a draw to go. He didn’t really know why he was drawn to such a place but even if they didn’t want him with them anymore he would still try to get there.

Viral stared at the lion-like Beastmen with increasing annoyance, seriously not feeling up to having to argue like this with the guy. He was feeling pretty terrible after what happened to him and it was definitely showing in his face, making him feel like he did when he was first removed from the collar’s influence. Having a debate with these Beastmen was just making him slowly but surely angrier and if he was going to snap it would probably end up being pretty soon. Giving him a pretty steady glare he was beginning to wonder just how smart these guys actually were. “What makes it different is I won’t kill you or anyone for that matter for simply underperforming! We don’t have anybody like that pathetic man who ruled over you because we’re not cowards!” Getting pretty annoyed he pointed to the other Beastmen. “Are you saying they’re not smart enough to learn for themselves everything new that’s out there?? Don’t treat them like simple lifeforms that can’t learn to think for themselves and discover that they either want to fight with me or not fight at all! Maybe one of them wants to learn hunt or cook, but you don’t believe they’re capable of learning more than being a simple animal!”

First they were saying they were wanting to fight, now they were saying they didn’t want to fight because it was all they were told to do. It was certainly getting irritating to the point that he felt he was just going to see them as a lost cause and forget about this whole mission. “First you want to fight…then you don’t because, what, food? What else have the Saiyans given you apart from that and a little cell for you to wander a whole five paces in?” If this guy had been to the surface before then what kind of logic did he have to feel he was better being in a cell? Growling in annoyance he looked between the newer Beastman and the lion-like one he folded his arms. “And what of those who were already living beings before being altered? They have been conducting experimentation like that before, reason why she smells like she does”, he spoke, briefly pointing to Yumi, “I want to know what you know about possible experimentations on already existing lifeforms”.

Viral didn’t care about what information he was going to end up having to dish out to these Beastmen, he wasn’t going away from this empty-handed. He had protested going to the Beastmen before because of a scenario like this, but since nobody believed him he was being forced into living up to their expectations. They would’ve been better off being left alone if it meant killing those monsters, but just because they were on the Saiyan’s side everyone was against them existing here. It certainly made him angry but if he had to do this job then he was going to do it whether he disagreed or not. He would be a failure if he couldn’t do this one thing and sully his reputation with them for good. Narrowing his gaze when the man tried to give a reason for them to stay there he was about to speak up when Takeshi suddenly butted in from afar, shooting him an angry glare before sighing heavily. If there was anyone who should’ve just stayed out of it, it was definitely Takeshi.

Turning his attention back to the Beastman he frowned when he was still denying the offer. To him it sounded like fear, like they were scared of the unknown while trying to justify it with not knowing what could be out there. Who knew they would all be such cowards. Growling in annoyance he quickly looked to Yumi who was doing a Takeshi, injecting into the conversation he was supposed to be having. It didn’t matter if she identified as a Beastman or not, she was still interrupting with her ideals. None of them knew what it was like to be like him if that was their idea of a happy living. Giving her a rather fed up glare he looked to the woman who was once again trying to stick her opinion into the conversation, narrowing his eyes when she only just mentioned the whole mate thing all over again. He just wasn’t getting a break despite being the one with the most experience with Beastman things, seeing how he was the first. “I wasn’t going to suggest settling down, anyway! These two are inexperienced and don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t know what it’s like to crave battle. I want all of you to fight on my side! I don’t care if you want to live the quiet life, but if you’re all heavily protesting the thought of not being able to fight then I don’t see that as something you’d want”. Turning to the lion Beastman again he folded his arms, shifting his weight to one side. “You know what it’s like to be out in the sun. Why do you want to deny that to all of them?” he questioned him before looking to the other Beastmen, “How many are there and how many are still in production, if any…”

Viral didn’t know how he was supposed to deal with the woman, so much so that it changed him back. Almost immediately he was feeling terrible like some sort of hangover was coming on. He definitely didn’t feel well enough to chase off this woman if she decided to advance on him. Quickly glancing to the others as if asking for help he raised his eyebrows at the word ‘mate’, looking to her again as he went a little red. “What? I-“ Unfortunately for him Yumi was quickly entering the scene and the woman took interest in her instead, his eyes quickly darting to Yumi who took not even a moment to start biting back to defend herself. Well this was immediately bad, mostly for him. Staring at Yumi as she could only throw up words that were just as bad as the ones this woman was throwing up as well.

Staring at the pair of them he soon let out an annoyed groan, holding his head momentarily as everything gradually became worse for him. This was unbearable and what was worse was it was centred around him for some reason. It would probably be a bad idea to mention to the woman that he couldn’t have children anyway so mating would be mostly pointless. He didn’t even know why he was thinking about these things, it wasn’t like he was actually considering mating with her either. Looking away as he tried to hide his embarrassment he quickly looked back when it seemed the woman had been snatched up, glancing to Yumi. That was probably more embarrassing for her than it was for him, but then again she was strongly against the idea that she shared a close relationship with him. He didn’t understand why she was so defensive of him when he could’ve stood up for himself, it just didn’t make sense to him.

Frowning, his attention turned to the larger Beastman this time, his eyes meeting theirs as he tried to explain that woman to them. This man certainly seemed more balanced than her, thankfully, but there was still the need to tell them that they were to come with them. Opening his mouth to speak up he groaned in annoyance when Yumi decided to take the reins instead of him. She was living in a fantasy with that if she thought it was that easy. Freedom to that extent was not something they would be able to have, they would end up completely unruly and probably cause havoc.

Staring at her as all the others copied his actions he sighed lightly, his attention going back to the man. He felt he could understand what it was like, his own memories of the outside world when he knew nothing else had been restricted heavily to small areas and visuals. Sharpening his gaze he straightened up his stance, staring up at the man when he was addressed. “We infiltrated the facility and crippled the forces here. The Saiyans aren’t dead, but they wish they were after we were done with them”, he spoke before moving forward, “I was a Commander during my time as part of the Saiyan army, but I broke free from their control! I’m the reason all of you exist. They tore me apart in every possible fashion to bring every single one of you alive, so forget those monsters. All of you are to follow me now; is that clear?”

Shu didn’t know what would have happened to him if Takeshi wasn’t able to make everything better for him, effectively calming down his out of control emotions. While he wasn’t completely out of the woods yet he had at least found a moment of calm that he desperately needed at this time, clinging onto Takeshi as if that was the only way he could keep himself in this moment. Taking slow deep breaths like Takeshi told him to he slowly looked up, his hair being ruffled in the process. Takeshi sure did have a lot of faith in his ability to calm down when really he was still feeling bothered, probably needing to sit down and relax for a while to try and find his focus again. As his heart continued to beat pretty fast he looked to Takeshi’s hand, looking a little hesitant but as he reached out a little he gasped when Yumi suggested he remain where he was, his hand going around to hold onto his tail instead. Maybe he should stay put and watch as everything continued to happen around him, hoping that maybe he’d get a break from all of this anxiety. He didn’t know if the Beastmen were going to be calm or if they were going to attack yet, but he knew before they did anything he would have to try and calm down fully and recover mentally.

Viral continued to remain as threatening as possible to the man until he finally agreed, dropping him before following after the man to the main consoles. He was definitely angry that he had been used in such a way, it almost felt like he had been a victim of imprisonment despite having freedom of movement. It was torturous and he couldn't stop it, but luckily his weakened instincts also gave him control over the form he lost so much sense in before. He could still be angry about it but was definitely using this form with the advantage that it made him powerful and scary enough to force the scientist into submission. Following after the cowardly man he watched as he made a hasty unlocking of all the cells in the area, staring at the cells before turning back to the man, hissing. ”I’ll kill you if you dare try to leave…”

Turning around he watched as the cells began to open he felt paralysed by the sight of the Beastmen that emerged, almost as if he was in the middle of a dream. While it was probably not a big deal to the others it was to him, especially when he was the only one for the longest time. Maybe he wouldn’t feel so alone anymore, even if none of them wanted anything to do with him. Looking to Yumi as she tried to be friendly he growled lowly when Yumi was instead dismissed by one particular one, giving her an angry glare when she threatened Yumi. Not at all happy with Yumi getting unwanted attention like that he watched as the woman decided to approach him and the scientist, staring at her as she only proceeded to act like she was the one in control.

Disliking how the woman was completely straying from the other Beastmen he watched her carefully, looking ready to attack if she so much as made a move to the others. He wasn’t pleased with how she was acting so recklessly, the console could’ve easily blown up with that. Growling lowly at her he watched as she approached him, feeling confused at first he moved a foot back slowly as if contemplating on walking off. He didn’t know what she was up to, but when she touched his chest he quickly raised his paw to his chest, backing off a few steps as he very quickly became flustered. Not looking like he was handling this awfully well he opened his mouth to speak only for nothing to come out, his body instead beginning to glow until it was consumed in it and very quickly he shrunk down. When the light disappeared he was back to himself, his clothes slightly ripped but otherwise mostly in tact as he was left holding his chest looking a little rough and a bit tired.

Cecil felt like he was completely different from the people he had been initially fascinated with and desperately trying to fit in with before, now thrust into a world of uncertainty. He didn’t know where he was supposed to be in the world anymore or how he was supposed to fit in. He was a machine who pretended to be one of them which was probably the most depressing part; it was all just pretend and he couldn’t help it. He must’ve freaked them out a lot when they found out he could emote like they could, even if he didn’t know that it was the wrong thing for a Machina to do. They must’ve been so confused, maybe even scared of him, but that’s not what he ever wanted.

Looking up to Ethan as he tried to counter his argument of differences he frowned slightly, slowly looking down at the ground. He didn’t know what things living people did that was the same as the stuff he did, he needed to find that kind of stuff out by himself. So far he didn’t feel he had enough examples to support that, at least not what he had seen so far in his short life. Slowly looking back up to him he frowned at the mention of a ‘mum’, trying to understand after what he was taught about the concept of parents in regards to what he was telling him. “I’m…not…that different…” he muttered, lowering his head again, “To be angry at who I am…it is not fair…”

Trying to process it through his head he looked back up at Ethan who was trying to explain a way to justify what happened on the boat, trying to relate him to one of his own kind rather than just a machine. A ‘soldier’, that was a new word for him. Someone must’ve been an example of that, maybe somebody he had seen before. He hadn’t seen a dead person other than the ones he had created though killing those men, then there was also the whole thing that Nymira seemed to do. He didn’t think Nymira was a ‘soldier’, seeing how she titled herself differently. Having slight doubts that being a soldier was socially acceptable when he hadn’t seen or heard of any yet he looked to Ethan when he sat in front of him, raising his shoulders momentarily. “I don’t think it’s to protect someone…or-or protect at all. Why would those men be after me if I was a protector? I don’t know if I was killing them to protect or killing them because…because I wanted to…”

While he was confused over what his aim was at that time he glanced over to Amuné when he was asked a question about what he saw, gasping a little before looking down. “I-I-…what I saw…I don’t think it was a vision. I would say something malfunctioning in my memory banks”, he spoke lightly, feeling a little worried, “I don’t know what it was, but it felt familiar…b-but, I don’t know. It didn’t look like me and-…” Nymira quickly interrupted him with her prompt to get moving and how dangerous it was to remain there, staring at her before he sighed and nodded a little. He didn’t want to keep them in danger because he didn’t know what he was. Looking to Ethan’s hand before taking hold of it he pulled himself up to his feet, wobbling a little before trying once more to calm it down so they could get going.

Not particularly feeling like it was important he kept quiet about it for now, hoping to conserve energy to last until the cart. He was feeling nervous about returning to it since it meant he would have to sit near Amuné’s animal, something that would probably throw him off the cart when it went a high speed just to get rid of him. He was definitely feeling very vulnerable to everything right now whether it be breaking something or being attacked by a crazy animal, he felt like the whole world was out to get him right now. He really needed repairs on his head and to see what that chain he absorbed was, especially when it was the cause of his problems.

It didn’t take very long to get to the stables and get to their things, even if it wasn’t everything they owned. The soldiers still had weapons that belonged to them so that was going to have to be something they need to get back eventually. As everything was loaded up again and himself helped up into the back of the cart he carried the same nerves as before, worried that he might end up worse for wear by the end of this. He needed to get basic repairs and hoped Norman was going to be able to do them, just not anywhere near possible trouble considering how long Norman said it would take for him to get to them. The only way he would be able to get repairs was once they finally settled down and weren’t going to move for a long time, but otherwise he was going to have to suffer through this and hope he didn’t suddenly malfunction.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral was definitely the least bit happy with being used by this man in such a drastic fashion and his out of control nature was definitely showing how he felt about it. He was sounding close to tearing the man’s head right off but was managing to restrain himself by batting him away as if he was a toy if also managing to cause some damage as the man had the misfortune of having a shelf drop down on him. He was incredibly angry and quite frankly looked like he was ready for spilling some blood. Staring down at the man as he continued to try and appear to be the superior party he growled as he started to walk towards him. With fierce eyes he watched as the man struggled to get out from his predicament, his head slightly tilting as he came to a stop a mere foot away from him. Slowly reaching down he picked the shelf off the man with ease, looking oddly like he was obeying him before he simply snatched the man up by his clothes and forced him against the wall where the shelf had previously been as he moved his face closer to the man’s own. ”…I…am…not a tool to be used…” he snarled lowly before roaring, ”Release the Beastmen or I’ll start picking you apart! Limb by limb…or your eyeballs first, you decide what’s more important to you!”

Shu was trying his best to calm down but everything was overwhelming him, even as everything started to turn in their favour. The noises Viral was making was as startling as the man who continued to shout at him, but even then he didn’t know how to see them as something positive now that Viral appeared to be back on their side. He was trying his hardest to calm himself down but everything was overwhelming and disappearing into a black void. The more troubled he felt the worse his fears became until all that was left was a shivering stunned kid that was trying his hardest to calm down for the good of everyone else. Borderline on the verge of losing it he gasped when Takeshi took him into a hug, his eyes shutting quickly momentarily before opening wide as he continued to shake. As Takeshi spoke to him to try and calm him down his irises threatened to turn from green to red, his shivering threatening to turn into something even worse; however, as Shu slowly reached around to hug back the moment he managed he let out a sigh, closing his eyes as his shivering ceased for now. “…Takeshi here…everything okay…”
