Yadorigi had to get out of the city, it had started to get a bit stifling and so he had gotten out to the fringes of it before kicking off the ground and using his flight to shoot up into the air, sending out a dust cloud as he launched off like a rocket. While he wasn't very concerned with anything that might result from people seeing, he didn't feel like dealing with the attention. He was by no means the only fighter in the world that had mastered his ki enough to gain flight, but by and large they all tried to stay somewhat below the radar. Didn't want the military sending out tanks and fighter jets because you couldn't wait to get out into the country before taking off. If anyone out there saw you... well they could either be reasoned with one way or another... or the worst case scenario, nobody would believe them if they tried talking about it anyway. Maybe a fuzzy picture of Yadorigi in flight would make it onto the front page of one of those newspapers nobody took seriously. He had only recently mastered the trick and so it was still quite exhilarating to feel the wind on his face as he lost himself in doing barrel rolls and flips, having a good ole time putting the city behind him. The sun was a little past noon and its warmth mixed well with the cool air up off the ground as he got closer and closer to the mountains and farther and farther from the hustle and bustle of the city. Swooping down low to the ground he let his fingers trail in the grass in a field and then swung back up into the air, taking a deep breath. Aaaah... fresh air. Even just this small distance between him and the city he already felt better. It had been so stuffy there, and a little bit more crazy than he had expected. Business was decent enough, but he didn't really like the people and organizations he was in bed with currently. That damn man, sitting in his cold dark room that reeked of blood. It reminded him of the cellar his father used to take him into. It made his skin crawl, not because of the thought of blood, Yadorigi was pretty familiar with that particular substance, but just the environment and the man. There was just something... not right about him, and Yadorigi wasn't full of daisies himself. Swooping around the base of a mountain, Yadorigi saw that there were numerous caves in this area, some big, some small, seemingly pockmarking the sides of the mountains. Dipping low he got close to a stream that ran along a valley and dragged his fingers through the water. For a second he thought he saw some darker shape shift below the water's surface and he pulled his fingers back, but when he squinted he didn't see anything moving anymore. It must have been his imagination. Climbing in altitude, he flew wide around a peak, corkscrewing his way up the slope around all the sides until he arrived at the top where he landed softly on the cold stones. As he stood on the top of the mountain, wild winds whipping around him as he gazed past other mountains at the distant city, he wondered how many others had stood here doing the same. How many had long to go back? How many had vowed to never return? If it wasn't for the work, he was pretty sure he'd stay in the wilderness forever. WC: 600 TWC: 600 |

It had been less than an hour since his little " Spar " with the saiyan known as Darkath. While he had a good little fight with the saiyan that wasn't the reason he was starting to travel towards the Northern Mountains. No there was a completely different reason. Soon enough that would be revealed. In fact it would have been sooner than anyone could have thought. Through his time in Hell Khaos had learned a great deal of new tricks and even how to manipulate the elements around him. One in particular was how to seemingly appear as a shadow or mirror image. While true he wouldn't nor could he do anything if that's how he chose to appear where ever he may have resided. It was a good way to keep tabs on allies and enemies alike. This time his potential target was a younger boy by the name Yadorigi. Yadorigi wasn't just some person he had never seen before. No he was another Saiyan that he had once done battle with. Khaos was no where near as strong back when they fought as he was now. In fact his power had grown thousands of times over since that battle. He was going to show Yadorigi some of this new power and some of the new techniques he had picked up since then. So what was the best way to get his attention you ask? Well it is a simple answer. First he would mess with the young saiyan's mind before finally showing his face and striking up a conversation; and potentially his second fight of the day. He chose to do this by hiding himself upon the water as he felt the saiyan's energy drawing near. Instead of just submerging himself; Khaos allowed his energy to almost fade from existence. The second step was almost appearing as if he wasn't there at all. To do this he allowed his physical body to fade away and instead just cast a shadow like figure upon the waters surface. Sure enough a couple minutes after doing so Yadorigi appeared. Allowing his " Body " to travel at the same speed the young saiyan was currently traveling at his shadowy like appeared upon the surface of the water followed his movement. As Yadorigi dipped his fingertips into the water they stabbed right through the shadow like figure that was Khaos. Doing so not only disrupted the waters surface; but sent a surge of dark and purely evil like energy jolting through the young saiyan's body. As Yadorigi attention was now focused on the water Khaos was letting out some demonic laughter even though no one upon the living realm would be able to hear it. Just seeing the look in the saiyan's eyes was enough to provide joy to " The Destroyer " However instead of taking any actions Khaos decided to keep the mind games up. Noticing that Yadorigi was attempting to focus more on the water by squinting his eyes Khaos and the shadow he cast upon the waters surface vanished. The cause was because Khaos had decided to leave the water and his shadowy like appearance faded away as a result. Instead now he was in his normal Pre-base physical form high up in the sun shining sky. However he wouldn't stay there for very long. Taking note that Yadorigi was now standing atop one of the mountains Khaos decided now would be the ideal time to allow the young saiyan to feel his presence in full. " It's been a long time Yadorigi; What brings you out to this neck of the woods? " Khaos' demonic sounding whisper whipped through the wind into Yadorigi's ears almost as if it was the wind itself speaking to him; but it wasn't. No Khaos now floated behind the saiyan. With his arms folded the suit and tie he wore fluttered in the breeze along just like his purpleish colored scarf and hair was doing. Letting out another little chuckle he waited for the saiyan to turn around and face the evolved demon who now floated behind him. WC: 681 |

The voice came on the wild and Yadorigi recognized it instantly. Without turning, he continued to stare into the distance," It has been a while, Khaos. How are you, ye old god?" The Saiyan grinned into the thin air at the top of the mountain, remembering the last time he had faced off against Khaos. It was probably foolish of him to keep his back turned to the... creature? Shrugging slightly to himself, he continued on, answering the ancient being's question," Just out for a little flying around. What brings you out to the mountains? I could understand the solitude, but I'd expect you to be down in one of these dark caves, or out around people, playing with them, eating them, whatever it is you do." Even Khaos didn't make Yadorigi's skin crawl the same way the guy in the city did, which was probably wrong. There were plenty of reasons Khaos should make his skin crawl, but perhaps it was because the Saiyan had met him before, not long after they had both come to this planet, and he had learned a little about who he was and what he was about. It was easier to not be afraid of something you understood better. It had been a tough battle, when they had met before, and Yadorigi had only fared well in the fight because he had gone ape shit, literally. Transforming under the full moon, he had gone into his Great Ape form and had still struggled against the ancient being that had found him once again. Yadorigi didn't really remember much of the fight after transforming, in that form he worked more in emotions, instincts, and feelings, mostly the feeling of pure rage. He had woken up in a barn, battered and bloody, not really sure what had happened to Khaos at all. A few days had gone by before he had felt right as rain again, despite how quickly he normally healed. He had learned about his Great Ape transformation while on his home planet, but he couldn't remember if it had any effect on the body. It would make sense from a purely physiological standpoint, going through such an extreme change and exerting all that force and power would have to be draining on the body somehow. Chewing his lip, he made a mental note to try to find out more information. A computer was handy for those kinds of things, but he always found he rather enjoyed books. If he made it through his exchange with Khaos alive, he'd have to stop by the library. Speaking of the devil, if he was here talking to Yadorigi that meant that the guy had come out of their battle alright. Likely he was much stronger at this point than he was back then, and Yadorigi had frustratingly not done as much training as he wished he had done. While Khaos might be looking for a little revenge for the beating he'd received while Yadorigi had been transformed, it would be best to avoid a direct confrontation with the ancient being. However, if Khaos was came looking for a fight, he would do his best. Yadorigi wasn't about to back down from a fight, of course, he was confident in his skills and he wasn't afraid to die besides, but it didn't mean he couldn't be smart when it came to lopsided odds. Kicking a small stone, he watched it sail out into the thin air and plummet down below. As he looked down below, he thought he saw something move far down there among the boulders and rocks. It was the second time his eyes had played tricks on him, but if it happened too many more times, he wouldn't be able to dismiss it too easily. Studying the area while still keeping his senses open and prepared for who knows what from Khaos, Yadorigi frowned. There was nothing now that he was paying closer attention. Perhaps a lizard had slithered under a rock? Shaking his head, he resisted the urge to finally turn to look at the ancient being behind him, deciding he wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

Listening closely to every word the young saiyan said Khaos grinned. Watching Yadorigi kick that tiny stone he also watched as it fell down towards the ground slowly picking up speed before you could hear it bounce off the surface of the ground. " I've been decent I would say. I've been killed twice. One by an unknown person the other by Gatz who decided to stick a shotgun in my mouth and send me straight to hell. " Letting out a slight little chuckle Khaos continued. " There I trained with not only Shula but Lucifer as well. Who even allowed me to drink from his personal fountain. " Lifting up his right arm he clenched his right hand into a fist as he stared at it. " It was at that moment I went though the most painful transformation I've ever felt. However I say it was worth it. It changed me for the better and allowed me to evolve far beyond what I once was; and now I've returned back to Earth. For the time being I'll figure out ways to keep myself entertained until I take my leave off in search of some Item's I've caught wind about and a Planet I feel I must check out personally. " Khaos' voice trailed in the wind again however he was no longer behind the young saiyan. In fact is position was unknown at this point. His physical body vanished again; and the only thing you could feel of him was his energy. He remained close though; close enough to study Yadorigi's movements and facial expressions. Suddenly Khaos' voice whispered once again seeming as if it was apart of the wind itself once more. " Are you okay there Yadorigi? You seem troubled; Almost as if your mind playing tricks on you? " After his voice seemingly whispered in Yadorigi's head Khaos' body appeared once again. Only this time it wasn't behind the young saiyan or actually all that near him at all. Instead he stood atop the peak of another mountain off in the near distance. His suit like attire fluttered in the breeze again just like his head seemed to always do now. Staring in the young saiyan's direction; Khaos' arms folded in front of his chest once more. WC: 383 TWC: 1,064 |

Yadorigi did begin to twist his head, putting Khaos into his peripheral vision as the ancient being spoke of his time since they had last seen each other. He appeared more or less as a humanoid form as far as the Saiyan could tell, wearing a suit and one of those backwards tiny capes some men wore that they called a tie. Turns out the ancient had been incredibly busy while Yadorigi had been running around just scraping together some dough, making a living,"Two deaths? Seems like you weren't trying very hard to stay alive then." He teased the man a little, if he could be called such, but in reality it sounded like quite the experience to train under some masters in the otherworld. Lucifer? Shula? An incredibly powerful transformation? It sounded like something he should definitely seek out, so he filed some of the information away for later. Pain he could handle, he had had to learn to embrace pain to some degree in order to survive his father, though it would be incredibly stupid to assume Hell wouldn't have new levels of pain for even him to experience. While he pondered what might be accomplished even in death, the ancient being seemed to vanish into the thin mountain air, but left behind his voice. Yadorigi's cheek twitched a little as he clenched his jaw. Khaos then asked how he was, though it was not the sound of concern that came to him with the question, but more one of amusement. The Saiyan instantly began to wonder if Khaos was behind the tricks his eyes had been playing on him, but shrugged a little before he answered, it didn't really matter," I'm not sure, to be honest. It seems as if I keep seeing something move just outside the focus of my vision. If it's simply you, then it can be dismissed, but for some reason... it seemed as though there was something else around. Not that I have much reason to trust you, no offense of course. I wouldn't expect you to-" Yadorigi cut off as he saw something else move below, several somethings, but it was different than some animal or man walking among the rocks, it was as if the shadows themselves were moving around faster than the sun was moving to cast them differently. Pointing down below, he frowned," Down there. Is that your work?" A flare of shame went up inside of him as he realized if the ancient being was jacking him around, he was playing right into what Khaos was delighting in. Grinding his teeth he watched another shadow shift below. He would not be made to look like a fool. WC: 450 TWC: 1,741 Edited by Yadorigi, Apr 6 2016, 12:49 AM.

To be honest anyone with a pair of eyes would be able to tell that he had in fact not been trying his hardest to stay alive. Hell if anyone asked some of the people that knew him they'd all tell you that Khaos had a death wish; and longed to train under the devil Lucifer himself. Which that goal had been achieved and since it had; well the powers he had gained in doing so were far beyond his expectations. Never in his wildest dreams had Khaos though he could have learned the type of things he did, and gain the amount of power he had in just that short amount of time. Sure maybe half a year wasn't so short to other people; but when you have been around since the beginning of time then half a year isn't even like blinking an eye. Still weirdly enough that was the past and this was the current. present, and the now. Looking down from the peak of the mountain he stood upon Khaos could only grin. He wasn't going to tell this boy fully what was going on. That would spoil the fun. Sure he was the shadow on the water the boy had seen earlier; and to be quite frank about it was quite a few of the shadows he had seen just recently. However one thing did bug " The Destroyer ". He could tell something was amiss right now. Not all the shadows were by his doing. Which meant something else was indeed dwelling around them. What that was he could not tell yet. In fact he couldn't sense any energy coming off of what was causing the few that wasn't him. Yet he wasn't going to tell Yadorigi that. Letting out another sick little chuckle he finally broke his silence. " Not at all Yadorigi. I have no Earthly Idea what you're talking about. After all I'm up here at the peak of this mountain how could I be here and near the ground at the same time? " It was all a game to him right now. Until whatever was causing the few shadows that wasn't his doing. He was going to keep playing it up like he had no idea what was going on. Khaos wanted to see just how far he could take this little game; and see just badly he could get into this young saiyan's head before he started to crack. After all Khaos had made a habit of pushing the saiyan's to their limits and causing them to lose control. Watching their hair turn golden and that massive increase in power they got from doing so interested him. So why would he not study all he could on why that happened. After all the more Khaos knew the more deadly he would become in the future right? As for right now though. It was just a waiting game. With his arms still folded Khaos stared at the young saiyan. Letting out another sick little chuckle he waited to see just how exactly Yadorigi would respond to his little speech just now. WC: 519 TWC: 1,583 |

"Tch.." Yadorigi frowned. Of course Khaos was no help, it had been foolish to think otherwise. However, it's not like the Saiyan could just start firing off a barrage of ki blasts at the rocks below like a madman. Not that he really cared for the mountain, and it didn't really seem like anything lived out here as far as he had seen. Anyone remotely innocent wouldn't be slinking around in the shadows like that down below anyway... perhaps he should blow up the mountain, who would really care? Yadorigi would if he wasted a bunch of energy on nothing, not only spending ki he might need, but giving Khaos an opening to attack him in that was his goal. Though Yadorigi figured if that was the ancient one's intention, he would've done so by now, but who knows, perhaps Khaos was simply playing with him. There was a thought with some merit. Really it was the most likely of the options, that Yadorigi was simply being toyed with right now by the evil being. Squinting at the rocks below and ignoring Khaos asking him how he could possibly be two places at once, he studied the shadows, looking for movement. Yadorigi himself could create something of a false image of himself, though it wouldn't allow him to be up on a mountain and down below at the same time, but perhaps if he was faster. He knew the basics of the idea, or at least one way to accomplish it. He had seen far too many interesting things done by fighters to not believe there was a way someone, especially someone as powerful as Khaos, could do something of that nature. Only way he would get any peace of mind was if he at least tried to figure it all out for sure. Hopping off the peak and floating out into the air, he turned part way towards Khaos's energy and smiled," Well, I guess I'll go check it out, feel free to stay up here where the thin air helps keep your head nice and big." It was sort of like playing with fire, teasing the ancient being in that way, but Yadorigi didn't really care. If Khaos decided to turn their chance encounter into a brawl, he'd give him a hell of one, but for right now, he wanted to get down below. If nothing else it would keep him from being knocked from so high up down to the ground if the evil being turned on him suddenly. As he swooped down through the cool air of the mountain, he tried to study the ground, but didn't see anything as he approached. Landing softly on the ground closer to the base of the mountain, where it met the base of the next mountain over, he stretched out his senses, attempting to feel for anything. He couldn't get a good read on Khaos, vile and powerful as he was he could be difficult to get a read on and so he didn't know if the ancient one had followed him or not. He couldn't feel anything else besides the presence of Khaos, but Yadorigi didn't pretend to have a great talent for sniffing out other powers. After he walked a short distance, he saw the caves up ahead and paused, looking down into the dark of one of the smaller ones. Was that a scratching noise? He couldn't be sure. He wasn't sure of anything just now, at this point he was starting to wonder if he really was going insane instead of it being the evil Khaos's fault. WC: 600 TWC: 2,341 |

The young saiyan had some balls he'd have to give him that. Not only hardly looking in his direction but throwing a quick witted insult towards him only caused him to laugh. Watching as Yadorigi descended towards the ground; Khaos decided to just stay atop the peak of the mountain he found himself upon for the moment. It was just to much fun watching the small lad's emotions being played with and watching how he'd react to certain things. Watching the young boy Khaos' right eyebrow suddenly cocked a little bit. He heard the exact same thing the boy did. It was a scratching noise that came from the darkness inside a smaller caves compared to the much larger ones around them. He couldn't tell for sure what it was that made the scratching nose; but he did know one thing. The energy it put off was dark and completely evil. The noise echoed off the walls of the cave once again only this time as it sounded through the area Khaos changed positions. The destroyer now found himself upon the ground a couple of yards behind the boy. Peering into the cave Khaos continuously attempted to get a reading on who or what was giving off negative energy. He usually could pick up on things like this fairly quickly but for some reason he was having trouble this time. A few moments later a howling sound echoed ten times louder off the cave walls then the scratching could have ever done. Demonic in tone, chilling to the bone to most of those that heard that nose, and a sound that could strike fear into the hearts of even the mightiest of warriors that called Earth their home. However that howl almost seemed all to familiar to him. Standing is ground a little bit longer Khaos continued to stand a small distance behind Yadorigi. Then suddenly out of nowhere in a blink of an eye whom or whatever it was came bolting forth at a high rate of speed. It was nothing but a pure black smoke cloud with a purple hue to it; it sped towards the young saiyan at first and struck him head on; but as it did so the Khaos almost knew for sure what was happening now. As the smoke smashed into Yadorigi's body Khaos had no idea how the young saiyan would act, but however the saiyan did the smoke split around the boys body like smoke would have done striking an object and drafted its way towards him. After the smoke had completely traveled around the boys body it continued on its path towards him. Still not moving a muscle from the spot he found himself in Khaos waited to see what exactly was going to happen. Just as sudden as the smoke burst forth from the cave it started to change its form and shape. Almost instantly it went from black smoke with a purple hue to a pure black almost smoke like hound with vibrant glowing purple eyes. Looking at the hound Khaos got onto one knee and held his arm up. The hound suddenly went from charging from his smoke state; to sitting on the ground before him just like a dog would do. " I've missed you boy! " Khaos said aloud towards the hound as he ran his hands over top the hounds head and down it's back. As his hand ran along the hounds back black smoke drafted over his hand and through his fingers just like smoke. With a smile on his face; Khaos had now finally been reunited with his companion after all these months they had been apart while he was in hell training. " What'cha doing way out here Legion? " He attempted to ask his hound. Sadly before he was able to get an answer a large explosion of rocks from the side of a near by mountain shot up through the air in several various directions. A new aura was now being sensed and Khaos had no clue as the what was causing it. Slightly shifting his attention from Legion; Khaos waited to see just what the hell caused that explosion.

Yadorigi peered inside the cave as a section of the darkness formed and flew out at them. The young Saiyan braced himself for the impact, but the black smoke simply flowed around him and pooled together behind him into some four legged beast. The white haired Saiyan made a face as Khaos greeted the thing and Yadorigi found himself trying to wipe away the disgusting feeling he had. Whatever this thing was, he felt like he needed to wash his clothes after coming in contact with it. Or burn them. Between dealing with his contract handler and then coming out here for a fresh breath of air only to run into Khaos, the young Saiyan was starting to think all the scum of this planet was concentrated in this one area. Of course, Yadorigi wasn't completely excluding himself from the thought. As he opened his mouth to ask Khaos what the thing even was, he was interrupted by the sound of an explosion from the mountain side. He looked quickly towards where it had come from, searching. The sound bounced off the area and echoed, making it slightly harder to keep track of. He saw a figure floating in the air, regarding the three of them. A second explosion boomed across the rocks as another figure exploded from the ground, sending rock flying through the air. The second creature met up with the first in the air and they seemed to talk quietly between each other. So they had come from... underground? What was under them then? Perhaps this... dog like thing of Khaos had been on a trail of some kind in these dark caves. The two figures floated closer and Yadorigi could see them more clearly now. They looked vaguely human, but their features were just a little bit... off. Exaggerated, disproportional, and oddly colored. Yadorigi had seem some human's dye their hair weird colors and wear funky outfits, but the young Saiyan didn't think these things were those kinds of humans. Despite all of their strangeness, one thing did stick out to him; they both had a little red symbol on their jackets that said repeated R twice. He had no idea what that RR stood for. The first of the two, tall and skinny compared to his somewhat rotund counterpart smiled slightly," Well, what do we have here? A couple of lost souls? Have you come to pay your respects to the army or is this one of those 'wrong place, wrong time' things that ends in your death?" Yadorigi had no idea what army this thing was talking about, but he didn't take threats to his life lightly. He looked at Khaos out of the corner of his eye and spoke in a lower voice to the ancient being," What do you make of these two? Perhaps we set aside our differences for a moment and have a bit of fun with them?" WC: 489 TWC: 2,830 Edited by Yadorigi, May 9 2016, 12:08 PM.
