What…

She had crossed into this universe. From her own. 

He was… confused, at best, and alarmed at worst. The idea of there being multiple universes wasn’t unfamiliar to Trunks, but he couldn’t recall intersection between any of them being truly allowed. Even if it was, there was no truly easy way to travel between two of them short of a God being involved.

And this woman was speaking as if she was just able to… cross the border between two of them with a snap of her fingers. 

“… how. How can you cross into other universes with the help of a God?”

“With the power of mortal ingenuity, to keep the explanation as short as possible.”

Indeed, her vessel for having gotten here was a few miles away from here, but it was made and crafted by the hands of her loyal subjects - one of the simpler means by which they plan to defeat the gods.

But a huff left her, this was starting to drag on. It truly seemed that she had no intention of explaining anything further.

“Now answer me, does my offer sound acceptable? The one where I may employ your mother for a short period and have you accompany her so you may see for your own eyes that she will be kept safe?”

The woman’s words, in an unsurprising twist, did little to ease the anxiety that felt like it had taken a seat in Trunks’ chest. Rather, he felt a sharp sense of anxiety as she spoke, and he became increasingly aware of the delicate situation they were in. He was powerful, but fighting here would risk damaging some incredibly delicate equipment. 

Oh, and the press would have a field day with it.

“Go near my mother and I will snap your neck.” He spoke without thought or hesitation, teeth all-but-barred as he spat the words out. “She’s one of the founders of this company you asshat, she’s not about to just up and leave it to work somewhere else.”

“A threat? That is a waste of time, for you speak like I intend her harm.”

His words didn’t seem to phase her one bit, only eliciting a sigh and a sharp glare. Retty wanted this woman who knew the gods of this realm rather intimately - or rather her knowledge.

It was for the best of all the universes that she get that knowledge.

“If you are so concerned about her, then why not come with? I crossed into this universe from my own, so she should also be able to operate this... company from a distance.”

As much as she despised negotiations at times, she knew that a willful worker was far more productive than an unwilling one.

“Hey- HEY!” Genuine anger laced his tone as Trunks stomped off in the direction of the woman. Kami fucking damnit, how had she managed to get in here? They had security for a reason, especially for this area. Nevermind the danger of the labs; this was where both his mother and he worked on developing new tech, which meant that patented work was held here.

“Who the hell are you and how did you get in here? I could– I should have you arrested-”

[mortsade-blog]

“Arresting the leader of an empire is a poor idea in and of itself. To explain to you  how I got in here would take too much time, so I won’t do that.”

The woman in question was simply idly examining the objects in the labs - as if taking in every detail mentally to use the information for her own purposes. Either way, the hand on her chin remained and her steely gaze didn’t even turn to face the younger man in question.

“Your mother is quite the intelligent person, much better than most of my own scientists. I was considering attempting to have her come and join me for a little bit and put her talents to my universe’s greater good.”

She didn’t mince her words at all, every one of them carrying a tone of harsh sincerity.

[mortsade-blog]

“I suggest that you all cease this fruitless discussion and shaming of private affairs and return to training and being productive. I know a break is needed every once in a while, but that time has passed.”

I should do more on this blog and a certain couple of others, but let’s just start here:

“Trust me, it’s not all of us. Just one psychotic spirit… one that I’m gonna deal with once this is over.”

“All of you? Little girl last I checked you were not one of the divine. However, do see to it that that monster gets what is coming to her, for her usefulness has run out and she must be thrown out with the rest of the garbage.”

[mortsade-blog]

“This is why we must destroy all that is divine, for they see it fit that we all kill each other for little more than sport, and thus waste our potential and use.

What Universe 7 is doing is sickening.”

“Whatever keeps me alive.”

This is how Retty’s quest will end: confirmed.

[mortsade-blog]

Which Element Are You?

Your element is FIRE. You are passionate, strong and bold. Your determination and vision are who you are to the core and you won't let anyone influence you otherwise. You're independent and responsive when need be. You are a bit brash, and sharp tongued. You could stand to be a little less selfish when dealing with others and trying to find the more calm or peaceful approach to things rather than what gives the most 'drama'. Aside from that you are seen as a respectable source. You are often misunderstood and few seem to be willing to get to know you past your flame. But you are fiercely loyal to those whom you deem fit to your morals

Well, she caught the fast ball. She wasn’t sure if that was a strike or an our. Though the slight glare she receives from the dictator does bring her mild amusement as she’d hoped. Her blood was boiling, though she did her best to not show the urge that she wanted to follow up and show her what ‘potential’ really was.

For the time being, she merely kept her lax posture as her arm shot upward to catch it. She hadn’t expected a slightly harder retaliation, which is evident by how her hand wasn’t even an inch from her face when she does manage to grab it. Granted, that didn’t help her Saiyan urges.

“So long as I don’t hear anything about any dead or injured civilians. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that even if you do win, you’ll need your troops to wheel you back.”

It wasn’t meant to be a threat, though it certainly came out as one. The desire to fight was hardwired into her genetic coding after all, though the frown she gains afterward does show she didn’t like what she said either.

“It would be a waste of time and resources to involve civilians. I will make sure that my troops do not fire upon anythings that does not try to kill them first.”

She was used to threats at this point, so she clearly didn’t pay it much mind. Had it not already been implied that they had no intent of getting people involved in what would not involve them at all should things go according to plan?

“Then this is goodbye. If you see people in a uniform like I am, do not attack them, and they shall not attack you and we can keep that promise.”

There were now more important things to get to now that they were now back on track than dealing with a single civilian. Once again, she spoke into a communicator of sorts, and in what was best described as a beam of light, she clearly must have been teleported away somewhere.

Well, she had almost expected this to go smoothly but there it was. If it were her tech, she wouldn’t mind too much about someone essentially reverse engineering the machine but the fact that it wasn’t left her at a rather annoying impasse.

“Well, it’s not really my choice to make since I’m not the one who made it to begin with. Granted, I don’t have any way of stopping you from doing it once I hand the radar over anyway, so..”

There wasn’t so much as a continuation of the sentence. In exchange for the lack of words, she tossed the radar over to them at the speed akin to a high caliber round being fired. She was more interested to see if she could, given her constant boasting of her superiority. If not, it would also be amusing to see the other with the wind knocked from their sails. 

Either worked.

There was the smallest bit of flourish as she removed her hat to (successfully) catch the radar in it (and the speed somehow didn’t break it, a sign that the uniform she wore as more than just for show), with the most mildest of glares coming from the dictator as she then took the device out and put her hat back on.

“Your strength has potential, if it weren’t for our poor first impression I would have asked you to join my army.”

She fished a small device from what must have been a back pocket of sorts, and scanned it. (That must have been enough, for she tossed the device back at a similar - if not a bit higher - speed at her with the intent of being careful.)

“Thank you for your cooperation. Give us a few days and we will be gone from this planet, as I assume that our business here is now over.”

[mortsade-blog]

While she clearly has trained her body and thus has incredible physical strength (one doesn’t exactly lead a successful revolution where she comes from without it), she doesn’t really ever intentionally use it.

It might be odd considering the DB-verse as a whole  is martial-arts based, but her power comes from her crazy-ass gun play. There are  things she can do with her weapons that are just bizarre (a simple example would be the “bend the bullet” thing from that one movie). 

She’s like Hol Horse, but competent.

Oh, so she wasn’t even attempting to mask her threats this time? Well, at least she was going to commit to being a malicious leader now. Because of such, she reached into her pocket and pulled the radar out of it.

“See, the thing is that these things can’t really be rightly tuned without knowing it beforehand. Well, in most cases. I’m assuming that’s why you got so interested when I brought it up, right?”

“So, tell you what, you take all but one Dragon Ball and I’ll hand it over. If you don’t plan on using them, then all you’d need is one to ensure they won’t be.”

That actually sounded like a fair enough deal. By having them separated as such, and being able to know the two parties that had them, it would save time should they have to use them and it would ensure that even if one party had their collection stolen then it still would be useless to whomever took them.

However, there was one small detail.

“I will accept these conditions, and on my authority you can assure that no one will use these orbs. However, this is on one condition: that you allow me to examine that device and send its data to my troops so that we may find these orbs faster.”

“Does this sound acceptable to you?”

Oh wow, what an original threat. If only she hadn’t heard something similar from literally every single baddie she fought and beat prior.

Needless to say, she wasn’t exactly threatened by this but more confused by the prospect of the ‘multiverse’ and ‘universe’ dribble she was getting at. Was she implying to be from a whole ‘nother universe?

“Y’know, I’d think the fact that I bring up a radar while we’re discussing Dragon Balls would be elaborating enough. D-R-A-G-” she’s.. spelling it out for her. Quite literally.

Oh, so this was how it was to be played. She felt her eye twitch and her irritation slowly beginning to boil. (Even for her, there was only so much of...this, she could stomach.) So she stopped her, mid spelling, and began to once more (attempt to) assert her position as a dictator through her tone of voice alone.

“Then let me simplify it for you, since you seem intent on wasting your life now.”

“Had over this radar, let us do our mission, or I will not hesitate to use my full aerial force to kill  you. Do it quietly, do it now. Time is of the essence and it is not as if you are doing anything about it other than keeping only myself here.”

(Still, she had yet to receive an update on if they had managed to lock on to a signal that could reasonably be assumed to be one of these orbs, just what were they, then?)
