Nyx and Mizuna were walking through the Ox kingdom, heading towards the orphanage with the bad of valuables that Videl had trusted them with. Nyx had given it to Mizuna, since it was easier for the young Saiyan to carry it in her normal form then it was for her. Not to mention that holding onto the bag herself might tempt Nyx in a way that she found rather embarrassing. Putting that aside for the moment, Nyx turned to look at Mizuna, still looking completely thrown off by what had happened back there.

"Do all of you Saiyans consume that much whenever you eat? If that's the case, it's a miracle that you've survived as a species without exhausting your food supply and starving to death. Maybe that's part of the reason why you invade other planets. I'm willing to gamble that their lives aren't the only things you take."

In hindsight, it would probably have been a bad idea to walk through the middle of a village in her Super Saiyan form, so the red-head decided against it. While she could quite easily flip the switch on and off at will, the stress and general sense of disquiet that came with it were troubling. She didn't like being a festering ball of anger. Brooding simply wasn't her style; she left that sort of stuff to her brother. There was also the embarrassing fact that she might accidentally crush something in the bag if she were in the Super Saiyan state.

That was definitely something she wasn't exactly ready to admit. Especially not to Nyx, not when she was looking at her like she had just seen something bizarre. The details became clear when the Sigerian woman asked her about the quantity of food that the average Saiyan usually consumed. "It might disgust some people to their core and you might think it was barbaric, but yes; we stole the food supply of conquered worlds and even feasted upon the corpses of the fallen." there wasn't a flicker of pride in her voice when she spoke of cannibalizing the remains of the conquered world's people.

Those weren't proud moments of her life; they were moments where she needed to eat something to sustain herself and accepted it as how life worked. The strong survived and the weak perished. That was how things worked and there was no room for remorse for her actions nor to feel something akin to guilt. They were weaker than her and her crew; that's all there was to it.

Yep, Saiyans certainly could be barbaric. It was no wonder that they had the horrible reputation that preceded them. Stealing supplies from other species was something that Nyx didn't condone: it was standard procedure for anyone in the Dominus Alliance to take everything from the civilizations they conquered or eliminated. However they at least allowed those who surrendered various choices to determine what they would do for the rest of their lives. They would either live as slaves or die in a manner they choose to do so. The Sigerians allowed them to have a proper burial: they had no right to deny them of their afterlife or to rob them of their beliefs.

"You know, the whole galaxy refers to you as a bunch of intellectually challenged primates. Although now that I think about it, there's a much more fitting decision for your race. Saiyans as a whole are a swarm of ravenous insects that consume everything in their path. You destroy resources and civilizations and leave nothing left. The only reason they call you monkeys is because of the tale you're born with. I will admit that calling you as such is a rather redundant statement. If people are going to insult you, they should come up with something more creative."

Mizuna shrugged at the comment that her people were referred to as intellectually challenged primates. "Yes, I know. Most of those species are either dead or on the run from my species, as well. So there's that; they're scared and rightfully so. We're some of the toughest warriors in the galaxy." the red-haired girl wanted to make it clear to her Sigerian friend that the species who had opposed the Saiyans previously and weren't under the employ of the Planetary Trade Organization were either dead or hiding from the Saiyans.

"I don't really want it coming full circle back to the Saiyans back home, but I have never really eradicated a planet's entire resources out of pleasure. It lacks honor and doesn't net all that much glory. I find it more fulfilling to fight a strong opponent and test myself in battle. Nothing is more exciting than encountering a strong foe and finding a way to overcome them." she explained to Nyx that the conquest of worlds was always a secondary thing for her and that the primary interest was in simple exploration, adventure and the usual kind of Saiyan entertainment; finding strong foes and defeating them as a testament of her strength, much like another warrior clan in a certain space opera setting.

Nyx's face darkened as Mizuna talking more about the atrocities her face had committed. She wasn't mad at her companion, but at the behavior that her race exhibited time and time again. They were never going to stop spreading terror and annihilating other species if it suited them. Nyx then quietly spoke back to Mizuna, her voice only audible to Mizuna.

"It's clear that the Saiyans are just going to keep on devouring planets whole. Would you be terribly upset if someone put a stop to them? There is no reasoning with them, so the way to stop the Saiyan Empire is rather straightforward. Would you leave them to their fate, or fight with them to the bitter end?"

"I..." Mizuna moved her lips to answer the question posed to her by her dual hair coloured friend but found she did not have a clear answer already formed in her mind. "Hehe. This is a first for me, actually; I don't know!" she giggled, laughing off the difficult, moral dilemma that had been laid in her lap. Even though she was giggling cheerfully, her eyes said she was torn between her loyalty to her people and what she knew was the right thing to do.

"You're asking me if I'd willingly choose exile or a life on the run from my own people?..." she tried to force a smile but found that it was more difficult to do so and was forced to retreat back to a place she seldom visited; her thoughts. "I don't know, Nyx. I just...I've served my King faithfully for several years because that's what I was raised to do and I still consider myself one of them. So...I don't know if I could willingly choose a life of exile."

Nyx nodded, completely understanding her friends position. So she didn't completely have Mizuna in her camp yet. There was plenty of time to get the young Saiyan to see things her way.

"There are times in life where we question our loyalty. My race was, and still is what I live for. I'm doing al I can to save my race, even if they don't see it that way. I've been branded a traitor and was exiled by the. Even in the face for that I'd still fight for them. Not for what they are right now, but for what my race should be. I'll fight until the bitter end for my race, and will spend every breath trying to make the universe a safer place to live in. Sometimes your actions will go against what your king and your people want. Ultimately you have to choose what's more important to you. Following your race behind every action they take, or carving out your own path despite the wishes of your people."

Nyx became quiet for a little while after that, walking forward as she pondered the current situation. It was very favorable to her, but she still wasn't anywhere close to where she wanted to be. The first two prioities were to past the tests and get Mizuna to toss aside the remnants of loyalty towards her race. The latter would be a long term project, so she would put all her energy into dealing with the tasks set before her.

"Of all the things she had to make us carry, why did it have to be a bag full of precious metals. It infuriates me every time whenever I have to watch another species toss around those materials as nothing more as a form of currency. You don't even use them properly." Nyx's eyes shifted over to the bag. Just for a moment, her tongue ran across the bottom half of her lips. Nyx was certainly tempted by the bag that Videl gave them, although oddly it didn't seem like she wanted to use it to buy anything.

For a brief while there, Mizuna fell into silence. To say the least, the dual hair coloured Sigerian had placed her in a difficult position. For a good part of her life, she was proud to be part of the Saiyan race and even now that was still the case. Maybe it was because she did not normally think about the possibility of moving away from her people? Her mind was switched off to questions of morality outside and even inside of battle.

She acted on impulses rather than thoughts. The idea of betraying her people was one that she wanted nothing to do with. It was like heresy to think she would ever turn her back on everything to do with being Saiyan. Mizuna finally broke her unspoken vow of silence. Mostly because she caught Nyx eyeing up the bag of currency she was holding onto."I'm not fighting for any real big noble goal. I just fight because it's fun. Besides...why are you looking at this bag like its candy, Nyx?" she teased her friend by dangling it in front of her face.

Mizuna knew the look all too well and any chance to break Nyx's usual air of smug intellectual superiority was a chance too great to pass up. Of course, she had no intention of actually giving the bag back to Nyx considering the look on her face. There was far too much entertainment value in teasing Nyx.

"It's simple just living your life like that. I lived simply to make my race prosper at one point. There was more to it then your enjoyment of fighting, but the concept is the same." When Mizuna dangled the bag in front of her, a vein twitched on her forehead and she stopped dead in her tracks. Going by how her left hand was shaking, it was taking all of her self control not to snatch the bag away from Mizuna.

"Our home planet was made of ice, with no means of growing vegetation. There was not enough other lifeforms to sustain a digestive system that consumed meat either. Originally all we could eat were minerals. Certain types of rock and ice were by far the most plentiful substances we ate there. Our planet was also a natural mine of metals and crystals such as Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Diamonds. Metals provided us with the most neutriants while crystals are considered delicacies. They're our equivalent of what you would call a desert. All these substances have very distinct flavors to us. My personal favorite are Blue Sapphires. They have that rich, sweet, calming taste to them. It's an explosion of flavor while also calming me down with the cold of an icy winter.... I haven't had one in years." A look came across Nyx's face that looked so alien on her. It was the same look Mizuna gave right before she was about to devour a very large serving of food. Her eyes were shining with the prospect of having one. But then her head slumped forward, and she let out a sigh.

"When we left our home planet, coming across those metals were hard. There were plenty of planets who had them, but they were all owned by other species. One of our first major genetic modifications was to make it so that we could consume the same things carbon life forms could. They don't have any flavor to us though. We can eat them, but it's nothing more then just nourishment. Part of the reason why Sigerians have invaded other planets in the past is just to get their hands on those precious metals." Nyx's body shook, and her head snapped upwards. She then proceeded to completely lose her composure, stamping her foot and throwing a tantrum.

"The only thing I've eaten that I can taste since I've been banished are edible rock deposits and the occasional spare change that some creature haphazardly lies about. There's nothing more infuriating then being close to something delicious only to have every other sentient species charge thieves price just for a small amount of it! How would you like it if every species in the galaxy stockpiled your favorite food and then made you pay the worth of a small fighter ship just to get enough to actually sustain you? And now I'll have to toss away the one opportunity I'll have to gouge myself on them. It's been so many years since I've had anything like that: I might throw away common matters and devour a mountain of treasure just to taste again!" It was taking all her willpower not to tear open the bag and go at what was inside of it. Life was such a cruel mistress indeed.

A huffy princess. That's what Nyx sounded like to Mizuna, but as her friend it was also a sign that the red head had gone a bit too far with her teasing. Tossing the bag up into the air and catching it in the small of her palm, Mizuna stashed it away in the pocket of her skirt while her monochrome haired friend was having a tantrum. "Okay, okay. I got it! My bad for teasing ya, Princess." accompanying the casual apology, she dipped down and scooped Nyx up off her feet.

Instead of the disgraceful sack of potatoes style she had taken out in the bad lands, she had placed an arm around the backs of Nyx's knees and rested the other around her waist, carrying the white and black haired girl in a way that better reflected her former position. "That's why we're jumping through hoops for that woman, isn't it? So that we can find a way to bring back your kingdom...and my friends." whatever had been used to restore a Kingdom overnight, Mizuna theorized within the confines of her simplistic mind, should have been able to do something as simple as give life back to her friends.

"We'll both gain back what was taken from us, one way or another." she smiled gently down at the woman she was carrying in her arms, contemplating whether or not she should make a cheeky quip about how the princess carry suited Nyx if only just to try and hide the mixture of grief, regret and anger reflected in her dark brown eyes. Not that she thought she could successfully hide any of her emotions from Nyx or anyone for that matter; she was bad at hiding what she was feeling.

Ultimately, the red-haired Saiyan decided not to tease Nyx about the way she was being carried. It was bad enough that people were staring and whispering. Fortunately for Mizuna, they had not yet run into a fighter of considerable strength and the ones that were whispering were non-combatants. If it was non-combatants, she could go without killing anyone, but she might be tempted to go for the kill shot if she were approached by either a fellow Saiyan or an android. Especially if she was approached by the latter and not the former; imitations of life did not equate to the very life they were imitations of for Mizuna.

It was bad enough that Icarus had made a fool of her during the Martial Arts Tournament and that he was at least part machine. That had been a big blow to her Saiyan pride. She had been bested by someone that was dependent on technology for the use of a leg and an arm. "I heard you met with Icarus. He didn't seem to think too highly of you. He said something about you giving your soul away to a demon. You know you don't have to do that, right? You have me." whether it was the truth or not, Mizuna was kind of weary at the idea of Nyx enlisting in help from creatures from the underworld.

Owing favours to the likes of the demon realm denizens was not something you should ever want. Their aid, she had been told by her father once, always costed more than just currency. "There are two things I don't trust; other worldy creatures and machines." there were of course more than just those two things that she did not trust, but she felt it poignant to let Nyx know that she did not trust either of those forms of life, or imitations of life in the case of machines.
