The moment he swatted at the android's hand, Glass knew he'd made a mistake. Unable to dodge the attack, the Namekian took the brunt force of the beam with his guard, and was sent flying backwards several yards. Skidding across the ground by his heels, he wondered what exactly that attack was. However, he saw the futility in trying to decipher the attack, and instead decided to just keep that move in mind during their fight.

Coming to a rest, Glass' expression hardened, the pain in his arm quickly fading to a heavily throbbing ache. "That was good, I'll admit. I'll have to take this a bit more seriously." An aura began to gather around the guardian, a teal energy swallowing him as he pulled on his energy. His power rose quickly, to what it was during their last battle. Charging a ball of energy, Glass threw it at the ground between them, kicking up a cloud of dust as he charged.
Glass' eyes widened as he recognized the attack from a previous Pendulum Room. "The Special Beam Cannon! But, how?" Realizing he was wasting his time, the Namekian charged rapidly, pushing his speed to the limit. 'I can't let that attack finish charging!' As he neared the android, Glass stayed low, sswatting his hand out in a chop to try and remove her hand from her head.

"That must be a powerful attack if even father is afraid of it." Silic narrowed his eyes, while nearby Sodius nodded in agreement. "I wonder if we can weasel the method out of her later. It looks like something unique with the mind must be done to use it, maybe an incredible amount of focus is required."

"Don't think over it too much. Just enjoy the show, and be ready to step in if things get out of hand." Now it was Silic's turn to nod his head in agreement.
It was early afternoon when Glass sensed her approach. Sitting in a meditative position, the Namekian was mentally preparing himself for what he felt would be an intense and likely destructive battle. Nearby, his sons sparred with one another, while Popo tended to the Lookout's gardens. Both ended as the android landed.

Standing, Glass greeted his opponent. "Well met, Vera." He raised an eyebrow at the bag the woman carried, though he did not ask its contents. "I understand you taught my sons yesterday? I hope that doesn't become a habit, I'd hate for you to run out of surprises." Cracking his neck, the Namekian entered a loose fighting stance, his right leg leading and his arms bent. Silic and Sodius floated up to the roof of their home, and settled in to enjoy watching the fight.
Behind his brother, Silic grinned at the though of catching up to Thirteen and fighting. "I'll take you up on that offer as well." The pair knew Vera was right, however, as they felt their father approaching rapidly. Smothering their power down, the brothers knew they'd been caught. Still, the pair lifted off to try and salvage the situation, and waved their goodbyes to Vera.

"We'll see you around, Vera." Sodius led the way, followed by his brother, flying to meet their father, who had stopped once he was close enough to sense them once again. Coming face to face with their father, it was clear the Namekian was upset.

Glass cleared his throat, glancing between his two sons. "What exactly is going on? I go to train, and I wake up to find Popo used a senzu bean to wake me up, my sons gone with the android.. You have some explaining to do."

Silic was the first to float forward, his eyes narrowed at his father. "We were gathering information on the android, father. She offered to show us a technique of hers, and we decided that it would be worth it to see. It was, by the way."

"And she also implied she knows older techniques, maybe a lot of them." Sodius didn't seem to want to meet his father's eyes, but did so anyway. "And her name's Vera. I don't think she's as bad as you think."

Staring at his two kin, Glass sighed and dropped his head into his hand. "It's not that I think she's bad, Sodius. She's dangerous, and she hasn't earned our trust yet. You both could have died in an ambush, she's years ahead of you!"

"That shouldn't matter, we got some information and neither of us got hurt. Isn't that enough for you?" Silic's eyes betrayed him, the fire behind them burning in a smoldering anger. "I had a feeling in my gut, and I went with it. Trust us a little!"

Glass just floated backwards, unsure of what to say. Turning away from them both, he began to float forward and towards their home. "I'll try. Let's go home, you both can use the Pendulum Room. I need to train." Silence pervaded as the trio made their way back to the Lookout, an awkward tension that couldn't seem to be dispelled.
Silic and Sodius stood watching Thirteen as she demonstrated the move several times, noting the way light seemed to surround her in a dome as the move charged. Averting their eyes after the attack fired, an explosion would blossom out in a powerful pattern. Silic stepped forward and tried to imitate the attack, succeeding in building a powerful orb of energy, but not bringing out the sphere of light.

"I'm missing something, then." Closing his eyes, Silic stepped back to his brother, and the pair exchanged words. "We should hurry back. I'll figure this out and teach you later."

Sodius seemed to consider the words. "Fine then. I guess that settles it." Walking up to the android, Sodius offered his hand, though he was sweating from his forehead. "Thank you for showing us. Hopefully there does not need to be bad blood between us."

Meanwhile, in the Lookout Popo hovered over his defeated master, who still lay unconscious. "Ooo, what to do, what to do." Popo nervously reached into his vest, and pulled out a small bean. "I know you might disagree with this at first, but I'm sure you'll change your mind after." Feeding the small bean to Glass, the Namekian quickly began to awake, his wounds and energy recovering almost instantly.

"What? Mister Popo, did you use a senzu bean on me? How long have I been out?" Glass sat up from his resting position, swinging his legs down and onto the floor. Extending his senses, the Namekian noted that his sons were not there. "Did Sodius and Silic leave to train with the humans?"

Popo shifted his weight from foot to foot, wringing his hands. "The boys, they've left with the android! I don't know whether they went willingly or not, but all three are to the east!"

"They are!?" Shocked at the revelation, Glass immediately stood and began walking to the door. "It seems that rematch may come earlier than I'd hoped." Growling under his breath, the Guardian of Earth marched to fetch his sons from whatever spell that android has cast on them.
Silic closed his eyes, thinking about the proposition. His father would certainly disapprove, and the teen could understand why in this case. It could be extremely dangerous, with their training taking them away from any intervention their father could give. Then again, he was passed out. "Fine. I know an empty island we can train at not far from here, it'll be free from any unwanted visitors."

Across the Lookout, Sodius hovered down from where he had been hiding. "We'll need to be quick, brother. Father and Popo will notice before too long, and they won't be happy when they find out." Silic nodded in agreement.

The pair of Namekians floated together, side by side as they began to rocket towards their island destination.
Watching the impressive display, Silic wondered at just how powerful the android actually was. It was one thing to know Red ribbon army droids were strong, but it was another to see their full might pulled out with a single, intense attack. He fought the urge to sound awed. "That was good. An impressive amount of energy went into that. How does it work? Is anything special done to the ki?"

Nearby, Sodius listened in on their conversation, floating silently in thought. He expected a strong ki attack, but the brilliance of the light was almost as strong as a Solar Flare! Seeing the potential in the attack, the teen concentrated as he thought over how the attack could work.

Muscles burning in agony, Glass flew at Burter with a speed even greater than the blue alien's, launching a brutal ax kick to its head. A crack resounded throughout the alien planet. "AGH!" Toppling forwards, Burter barely caught himself in time to block a second, sweeping kick. "How can you keep pulling these tricks out of a bag, Namekian! Mach Cannon, AH!"

Blasting a blue wave of energy, Glass was pushed back, though be barely registered the pain. Quickly gathering himself, the Namekian flew back at his opponent, dodging several ki blasts along the way, and hammered his forearm into the alien's guard. Glass heard a sickening crack as the attack ploughed through the alien's defenses.

Burter fell down to his knees, panting as he clutched his now broken arm. "How.. How can I lose to a second-rate warrior like you? The Ginyu Force is second to none!" Falling forward, the blue alien passed out. Glass landed beside him, his burst of energy dying rapidly, and the muscles of his body shrinking back to normal size.

As he fell forward, exhausted himself, the illusions surrounding him began to fade. Mister Popo rushed in, gathering his master as the Namekian passed out, and began to carry him to his throne room to rest. "Now, with the android outside of all times.." Popo shook his head in exasperation.
Silic's eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms, floating backwards a few yards. "Is that your way of trying to take me out, saying you'll show me an attack, only to demonstrate it on me? If you're sincere, though.. A new technique would be welcome." Sensing his brother at the edge of their home, the Namekian sent a quick message. 'Hold on, she's going to demonstrate a technique. The more we know, brother.'

Though a wave of distaste could be felt through their connection, the other teen agreed mentally that knowledge on their enemy would be useful. "Go ahead and teach me. I can't wait."

Back in the Pendulum Room, Glass felt sweat drip from his brow as Jeice and Burter charged him, their auras melding together into a purple color. The pair neared rapidly, and the Namekian was forced to use a risky plan. Gathering his energy in his eyes, Glass let a brilliant flash of light loose, blinding the two charging aliens. "My eyes! Damned tricky Namekian!" Jeice clutched his eyes in pain, while Burter tried to fight through the painful dots in his eyes.

Utilizing his one-time opening, Glass gathered all the ki he could, building a massive amount in his hands as he prepared an attack. "Super Demon Wave! AH!" Shouting as he poured his all into the massive, rippling explosion, Jeice was consumed in the purple energy as he blindly fled in the opposite direction. As the ki faded, Jeice's body lay, burnt and covered in blood.

"Jeice, no!" Burter turned towards his enemy rage in his eyes. "Enough of this! It's all or nothing, you're done for green skin!" Fueled by rage, Burter exploded with energy, seemingly digging into his reserves as he pulled on every bit of energy he could spare. The blue skinned alien disappeared briefly, before then appearing behind Glass. "Mach Combo!"

Glass fought to evade the flurry of kicks, each one striking or swiping at his body with brutal speed. 'I thought I hurt one of his legs! He must be fighting through that pain!' Feeling exhaustion settle in, Glass' moves become sluggish as Burter wore him down, before his opponent finally nailed him with a brutal sweep to the head. Glass flew backwards, landing in a pile as Burter flew towards him.

"Heh. Looks like Jeice will be getting his vengeance." Raising his hand, Burter began charging an orb of blue energy. "Any last words, Namekian?"

As Glass stood, battered and weary, he reached inside himself, and reached for something other than his ki. Burning through the last of his ki, Glass invigorated his cells, forcing his muscles to rapidly grow and find strength. "Yeah. This is going to hurt." As a last ditch effort, Glass charged, hoping to bring the weakened Burter down with the last of his strength.
Silic turned, muscles tense as he listened to the android. Feeling like prey caught in the eyes of a predator, his instincts combated his logic for supremacy, before the latter finally won out. "So, you must have good hearing? That's good to know. I don't think that's any of your business though, android."

Trying to act cool just made his heart race faster, the urge to fight or flee building inside him. 'Thirteen is outside, brother. Don't move quickly enough to alarm her.' Silic could feel his brother leaving, but knew that even together they wouldn't stand a chance without their father to assist them. He hoped the woman was sincere in her agreeable tone.

In the Pendulum Room, Glass arrived on Old Namek, an illusion of a planet long dead. Nearby, the Namekian could sense several large power levels, including several he was familiar with from previous journeys. Flying to the nearby battlefield, Glass watched as the warrior prince Vegeta battled with a hulking brute of an orange haired man. Although the brute clearly held the upper hand, Vegeta continued to battle furiously, giving his all to try and defeat his enemy.

Watching the battle from nearby were four energy signatures, two of them similar to what Glass assumed was a member of the Ginyu force. The Namekian flew near, landing next to the pair, who seemed surprised at his entrance. "Hmm, what's this? Another Namekian come to accept an early grave?" The red-skinned alien seemed to observe him through a device over his eye, a scouter. "His power lever is only a meagre ten thousand. That's quite good for a Namekian warrior, though you wouldn't stand a chance against either of us."

"Would you handle him, Jeice? Watching Recoome swat around the Saiyan is to good to miss!" Next to the now named Neice, a blue alien seemed involved in watching the ensuing battle.

Jeice sighed. "I suppose I could use a good stretch. You're taking the next one though, Burter." The other alien nodded in agreement, not paying attention to the conversation. Farther away, a pair of humanoids, Krillin and Gohan seemed to notice Glass' arrival, though they were too scared to approach. "You're with me then, Namekian. Lets battle over the hill."

Glass nodded, noting that his enemy's power was slightly above his maximum. A good matchup. Flying off together, the pair settled on the ground as Glass entered a fighting stance, preparing himself for battle. Jeice seemed uncaring, allowing the Namekian to gather his energy. That expression soon turned to shock as his scouter produced noise. "Thirty, forty, fifty.. Sixty thousand! Astounding, you're on a level approaching me!" Grinning, Jeice entered his own battle stance. "Hah, Burter is missing out! You're stronger than even the Saiyan! This'll be fun, Namekian!"

Launching himself at the red skinned humanoid, Glass launched a series of punches and kicks, only for Jeice to back away and launch a number of red ki blasts. Glass batted them away, though they took more effort than expected. Flying up to avoid the blasts, Glass gathered his own energy in the point of his two fingers. "Dodon Ray!" A razor-thin blade of green energy lanced out, which Jeice narrowly dodged.

"Impressive technique, greenskin! Witness my own!" Raising his arm above his head, a sphere of brilliant red energy gathered. "Crusher Ball, Ah!" The orb of energy rushed towards Glass, who raised his arms to defend against the blast. Fighting against it, the Namekian could feel burns on his arms as he struggled. Finally the attack lost enough energy for Glass to push it away with his forearms, and dispel the powerful attack.

Frustrated at seeing Glass counter his technique, Jeice prepared another Crusher Ball, but was forced to dodge as Glass rushed in with a sweeping kick to the head. "Damn Namekian, you're frustrating!" Glass fought to stay close with the alien, seeing how he relied on energy attacks. Dodging his attacks, Jeice managed to gather enough ki to throw onto the ground, blowing dust into the air an buying time to fall back.

He was met with a barrage of energy, a dozen ki blasts raining on him from across the dust field. Batting away the majority of them, a few of the blasts went wide, and exploded nearby, rattling Jeice's senses. "Agh!" Rushing through the dust cloud, Glass launched into another brutal combo, which Jeice was forced to defend against.

Every attack left a bruise on Jeice, who was quickly becoming battered as the attacks forced him to back up against a cliff face. "To hell with this! Burter, come and assist me with this pesky Namekian!" Almost instantaneously, the named blue skinned alien was next to Glass, forcing him away with a kick of his own.

"You called, Jeice? Can't even handle a weak little Namek yourself?" Laughing under his breath, Burter turned to face Glass, observing the numbers before his eyes. "Hmm, you're rather impressive for a Namek. Still, you're no match against the combined power of the Ginyu Force's Dynamic Duo!"

The pair launched into a practiced attack pattern, Burter flying in to attack Glass in close quarters, while Jeice stayed back, throwing ki blasts at the openings his ally would make. Hard pressed against Burter alone, Glass was forced to use the terrain to his advantage, backing into cover whenever possible. Glass could feel himself tiring quickly, but the rush of the fight was enough to get him to push even harder.

"Demon Wave!" Pushing his palm forward, a blast or purple energy rushed at Burter, who managed to evade the attack. It bought Glass the initiative, however, as he began his own attack against the blue skin. Aiming low, the Namekian sought to take the powerful legs away from Burter with kicks of his own, and managed to land a solid blow.

"Gah, you damn Namekian! That hurt! That's it, prepare for a world of hurt!" Backing up and landing next to Jeice, the pair struck a pose and gathered an aura of energy around them. Glass could feel the pair's power melding together, making a powerful combo!

"Purple Comet Hurricane!" They yelled in unison! Racing towards him, Glass braced himself for the coming onslaught.
Standing there with something like shock running through his system, Glass had to pull himself together as he noticed his two sons watching him for his reaction. "Looks we have a lot to get done in the next couple of months. Lets go." Glass turned to the two exhausted old men nearby. "You might want to get some training in the next couple of months. We've grown complacent."

With those parting words, the trio of Namekians flew off in the direction of the Lookout. It took them only minutes to arrive. The normally cool breeze which ran through their home and fortress was no longer refreshing, serving only to remind them of what they had to lose. As they arrived, Popo ran out to greet them.

"What happened out there? I felt the energy spikes from here!" The genie was met with bleak and solemn expressions, none willing to meet his gaze.

"Nothing good, Mister Popo. I need you to prepare the Pendulum Room for me, I'll be entering within the hour." Hearing the meagre tone, Popo nodded furiously before running to do just that. "My sons, I need you both to train hard with each other, go out and challenge others when you can. We'll be taking turns with the Pendulum Room, I'm afraid."

Looking up from the ground, Silic clenched his fists and furrowed his brow. "Father, let us train with you! We can stand with you if you'll let us, and it's not like we can get killed in the Pendulum Room!"

"It will do you no good to get tossed around by someone on another level than you! You'll gain no skill through being harmed!" Glass turned from his sons, sighing in exasperation. "Besides, I'd rather not watch you both die, even if it's only an illusion. Rest up and go train. I'll be in my room if you need me."

Splitting up, Glass soon found himself in his throne-like room, reserved for him as the Guardian of Earth. He considered his options. 'We have an old alliance with the descendants of Elder Moori, his children may honor it, though it would do little good. Their warriors are hardly stronger than those of Earth. Our alliance with the royalty of New Vegeta will do little good, though they may send a few warriors for appearances. The Son family probably already sent word to their kin on New Vegeta anyway."

Glass sighed once again, this time more in frustration. 'Maybe Moori will surprise me. They say at least one good warrior rose from his kin, though he was absorbed by Piccolo.' Considering the distance, Glass summoned his communicator to send a message to New Namek, asking the clan of Moori to send a compliment of warriors in accordance with their old alliance. He hoped it would do something to help.

Knowing he was only stalling for time, the Namekian stood to leave. He made his way to the doors marking the Pendulum Room, which stood open for him to use. Inside, dozens of clocks could be heard ticking in unison, the dull sound filling the room with a baritone vibration. Thinking back to the stories he'd heard from his father, Glass knew a point in time that would prove exactly challenging. Old Namek, and the Ginyu Force. With a thought, his surroundings faded to nothingness.

Nearby, Glass' two sons sat in meditation, Silic trying to contain his anger, and Sodius trying to focus on his ki. Standing abruptly as he sensed his father's energy disappear, Silic kicked the air. "What was father thinking back there? He's always putting me on support duty, and then he says we aren't ready for his level? We're strong, we beat that android!"

"Brother, I don't think that fight was so simple. The battle could have gone either way, and we barely eked out a victory because Father made some calls and we outnumbered the android." Sodius opened his eyes and also stood, some tension still in his body. "And you know you're better at ki emission than I am. That's why you're our support, while I charge in. It's nerve wrecking."

Silic sighed. "I know, I know. It's just frustrating. We should be with father right now, training on the same level as him."

"We're only a decade old. You can't expect us to be on the same level as our father, we're not even close, and as long as he trains hard he'll always be ahead. Get used to it." The pair fell silent, considered the words.

"I'd rather catch up with him. There has to be a way for us to get on his level, or even surpass it!"

Feeling uncomfortable, Sodius turned and began to walk away. "We're not fusing, brother. I also doubt father would be happy if we used the Hyperbolic Time Chamber without his permission. Mister Popo wouldn't enable it for us anyways."

Silic stood there as his brother left, unsure of what to do. Left alone, the Namekian began to warm up, preparing to fly down to earth for spars with some humans. Nearby, Sodius continued to meditate over his emotions, hoping to quell the waves of anxiety washing over him.
