A Day With the Family (Akassa, Leke)

[Disgraced Prince Nasu Hattori]

Nasu saw Leke whisper something to his sister and her eyes narrow in suspicion but he had no idea what had just been said. Either way it probably wasn’t we should totally trust this stranger lets not make him lead into the dark tunnel first.

Leading the way into the creepy ass supply depot was not exactly what he had in mind when he shouted his warning. That being said yay family bonding.

“I’d be happy to lead the way; anything for fam- the royal family.” he catches himself at the last second before he says something stupid. The supply depot was seriously throwing him off.

Nasu walked forward into the clearing his senses extended as far as they could go, his ears straining to hear any signs of life. He walks past the gate that’s hanging open. Isn’t the military supposed to be more secure? You’d think they’d lock the gates behind them if they were here.

Walking up to the door to the depot Nasu can finally feel something. It’s not a power level exactly, instead it feels just the opposite. Where feeling someone’s energy fills you up with the sense of life. This just felt wrong he felt like something was drawing the life out of him instead. Looking back over his shoulder at his still skeptical family he decides to try warning them again.

“I can...feel something moving down there. It doesn’t feel natural though. It’s like the exact opposite of what a power level is. Whatever it is it’s messed up. I’m gonna kick down the door and we’ll take it from there. However if I were you I’d take a step or two back in case anything attacks.”

The look his brother and his sister is filled with skepticism.

“Fine! Why don’t you two take a step back, that way if the person trying to warn you something is really creepy turns on you, you will both have time to react and kill him appropriately.” Nasu’s temper got the best of him but something about the power coming from the depot was freaking him out. He knew it was dangerous but he couldn’t put it into words. He only hoped they could feel it too and would understand.

Without looking back to see if they took his advice or not Nasu turned back towards the door. Kicking it in just as he promised he’s greeted with a long corridor which is of course completely black. Looking to the side he flicks on the light switch which flickers to life illuminating a long dingy corridor.

Ok seriously this is bs.

Walking slowly down the hallway he hears shuffling from one of the rooms next to him only a split second before the door explodes inward and a man in a military uniform explodes out.

The man lunged at Nasu quicker than he would have thought possible it was only luck that he heard the noise first that saved him getting snared. Grabbing the man’s outstretched arm Nasu spins him around and throws him to the ground pinning him there. He can’t sense any energy coming from the man pinned to the ground. He’s still squirming there but he’s not making any sounds. Looking back up at his family he can hear more movement coming their way from further in the compound.

“Ok seriously, what the hell is going on here?”

[Queen Akassa Hattori]

The scouter she wore was able to read this Nasu’s power, but she could not feel it like her younger brother. If she had the Princess might have recognized his familiar signature for what it was. As far as she knew Akassa was the only half-blooded child of the Saiyan King. Little did she know that Nasu was also her half brother, unofficially a member of the royal family. Looking the male over she wouldn’t even see any traits that might remind her of her the Hattori line, no doubt thanks to Nasu’s half human side. As Leke informs her that the man had been trailing them for some time the Princess snorts, a little disgusted in herself for not having noticed they were being followed while her younger brother had. Still, Leke deserved credit for being the observant one even if he had not spoken up.

Stepping aside she would let Nasu lead, more than comfortable with him walking into a trap if one was set up for them. Silently Akassa follows, occasionally glancing back to Leke as she does. Part of her worried for her younger brother, but she knew he was capable of handling himself. When they finally arrived at the door of the depot, this strange man first requesting they step back then yelling at them to, Akassa does not move. Slowly crossing her arms over her chest the Princess simply nods towards the door. If he was to kick it down she was confident that no matter what came out the door at him would not be anything she could not handle. Watching him enter the building she motions for Leke to haltl, letting Nasu disappear into the darkness for several seconds.

For several seconds she only heard the shuffling footsteps of his boots, Akassa listening for any other sound from near the door. When the figure lunged for him the Princess was not able to see it, but she heard the commotion. Her scouter still said nothing, giving no indication that there were any other signatures within the structure. Unafraid she bursts in, a ball of Ki forming in her hand to light the way. However strange this man was he was capable of handling himself it seemed, Nasu pinning what looked like a soldier down to the floor. ”Well done, are you…” Hearing movement down the hall Akassa cuts her sentence short, lifting the hand that held the Ki blast.

”Show yourself or I will show no mercy.” Any that knew Akassa would know the threat was not an empty one. Leke had fought against her before and even with him, her brother, she had not held back during their training session. This was a real situation, a possibly threat might have been moving towards them. Being a military woman she knew the importance of capturing a foe to gather information from them, but her head strong nature always lead her to attack first and ask questions later. When squaring off against a foe the Princess often had a simple plan, attack.

[Charge 1]

[Leke Hattori]

Leke shrugs off Nasu's comments. As far as he's concerned, this guy was just trying to save his own hide. The younger brother of Akassa definitely knew something was up - he WAS following them, and Leke wanted to know why. But this was not the time, nor the place. Nasu had so far been correct in his statement about the compound being empty, so he kept quiet until the group got to the depot.

It was too damn quiet. Leke did not even hear any wild animals, the few that had populated the Moon. The Hattori never really understood how the terraformation of New Vegeta happened, but Leke was definitely glad for it. It still bothered him to think of how the animals got there, but Saiyans had to eat something, and the vegetarian diets of a lot of Earthlings would just not sit well with the overly-masculine warrior race.

A.D.D. thoughts aside, Leke honestly was just as creeped out about this as Nasu appeared to be. He certainly felt something when the trio walked inside the gate, with the youngest bringing up the rear guard, but he couldn't place it. There was definitely no power levels to be found here besides the three of them, but there was something else there with them. It had just decided not to show its face - probably a safe option for whatever it was; between Akassa and Leke, they were packing serious firepower. Nasu was also not too weak himself, but he definitely lacked what the Royal siblings had.

A few more moments led the group to the closed front door of the depot. Still no signs of life, and Nasu made a comment about something like inverse-power levels. It sounded like a bunch of junk to Leke, but he was inclined to believe him because of what he himself felt. He knew Akassa could not sense, but she had to feel something was off, right?

Regardless, Leke stepped back with his sister and let Nasu enter alone. If he wanted to die, so be it. A few moments passed, followed by sounds of Nasu struggling led Akassa and Leke to jump in to the fray. Fortunately for the assailant, Nasu had already pinned him to the floor. The Hattori child quickly aimed an open palm at the soldier's head to get him to stop squirming beneath the mysterious half-Saiyan. Leke had a few moments to process what just happened - this guy had no power level! If he wasn't a robot or an android, which he did not appear to be at first glance, then they had more problems than just that. There could be many, many more of these guys, possibly many times stronger than this one.

"Well, I don't know what's out there, but..." Leke began while looking around to make sure nothing was lurking in the shadows around them. "We need to interrogate this one before we go-" he began again, before being interrupted by sounds coming from the hall ahead. It seemed Akassa had come to the same conclusion as he had, and was already charging up a blast. She was not messing around; the sister that he really knew was finally here. Leke created a ki ball in each hand, but did not elevate his power any. Perhaps they weren't aggressive? Or was that too optimistic? Regardless, Leke was prepared for a frontal attack, and already knew about the ability of these apparent soldiers to mask their power. They had no chance against the three of them... Or so he thought.

[Disgraced Prince Nasu Hattori]

The fucking walls exploded to either side of the trio of saiyans. Nasu had expected something to come from in front of him, but walls?

It startled him enough he lost his grip on the soldier he had pinned underneath him. The man pushed himself up to his feet quickly and tried to grab Nasu. Instead Nasu delivered a punch that would have sent the man flying into the walls had they still been standing. Instead it just sent him flying off into the eerie blackness.

He looked to behind him to see his family about to be swarmed by dozens more soldiers with no power levels. It made no sense though, they were soldiers, they were all still in uniforms? Why were they attacking the royal family? And why the hell didn’t they have a power level! His ability to sense power levels had been part of what had kept him alive for so long.

Nasu ducked as one of the soldiers took a swing at him, it looked as if he had something in his hand. Nasu however didn’t have time to think about that instead landing a kick to the soldiers side sending him flying into his fellow soldier who was charging at him as well.

Risking a quick look over he shouted back to Akassa and Leke. “How many soldiers are supposed to be in the compound?!” he had heard Akassa say something about helping a small group clean up after a raid, but there seemed to be no end to the number of soldiers attacking them. Had soldiers been going missing?

Either way Nasu didn’t have time to think about it as another soldier came out of nowhere and jumped on his back. He felt the man try and stick something slimy on his neck but he flipped the man off of him before he got it on luckily. Nasu was about to fire an energy blast at him but held back, instead he grabbed the man’s leg, spun him around and threw him as fast as he could at a soldier attacking Leke. He didn’t want to hurt any of the men in case they were still alive but Nasu wasn’t thinning their numbers out either. Eventually unless someone did something soon they would be over run.

[Queen Akassa Hattori]

As motion exploded all around her, even the walls themselves blowing apart, Akassa was admittedly surprised. However, her years of experience in the field had trained her to react naturally so such situations as her natural instincts kick in. The charged blast she held in her palm is released, soaring down the hallway to strike the far wall as it explodes in a blinding flash of light. With the attack released she was prepared to deal with the multiple figures that now lunged for her. One come in hard, swinging for her head, but the Princess easily pulls her head to the side, grabbing the man’s fist as she does. With a twist of her body and yank on the extended arm she slams him down hard into the tile, perhaps injuring him quite substantially. These men had been soldiers, of course, but she never held back when she or her family was threatened.

Feeling several kicks to her back in rapid succession the Princess actually staggers a step before reestablishing her balance. Hissing some in frustration she turns and delivers a devastating backhand to the man that had touched down behind her. Akassa felt his jaw break, unsure if the blow snapped his neck as well when his body goes bouncing down the highway. Hearing Nasu call out his question she snorts some. There was only supposed to be a dozen or so, yet a quick scan revealed more than that already. To her knowledge there were no reports of soldiers disappearing, the female not sure where all these creatures had come from, none of them sporting a power signature of their own. Incapacitating several more she was confident Leke and Nasu could handle themselves, Leke based on his station as a Hattori and Nasu considering how he had preformed so far.

”There should have only been a dozen soldiers. Something is not right here…we are going to have to delve deeper into the compound.” Turning to face the man she had slammed hard into the ground she looks him over, unsure as to why she felt nothing at all from them. Akassa could not sense power signatures to any advanced level, but at this range she could still feel them…and she felt nothing from this one. Reaching down she grabs the man’s armor, lifting him up into the air. He groaned a little, but was otherwise still reeling from being driven into the ground. Seeing him alive still she sets him down against the wall, not having had any intentions of killing them exactly, just striving to take any that had attacked her out of the fight. Looking down the hall Akassa, glances once to Leke and Nasu before moving on. Somehow it felt like the strange feeling radiating throughout the structure got stronger as she began to walk down the hall.
