Post by Queen Akassa Hattori on Nov 2, 2013 0:42:17 GMT -5
Alpha Prime was a glowing collection of lights and signs, a different business or residence crammed into every spot available. When horizontal space had run out the buildings had started to rise up, floors and levels added on to them to accommodate the stations growing population. When walking the streets one could feel lost or even overwhelmed by the cramped spaces and tall buildings, but when flying high above it there was a completely different perspective. As much as Akassa didn’t like the station, fond of her distant home, she had to admit that the view from this high up was quite breathtaking. The amount of lights gave the station a glow of its own, the lack of a nearby Sun not really a problem at this point.
Glancing back she was able to see Celeh following behind her, the soldiers face looking much more focused now as they headed towards the district known as Monarch Heights. Akassa planned to get her partner a meeting with the alien Lord himself, confident her royal name was enough to earn her an audience with him. Even if her initial request was denied she planned to demand it from him. The business they were looking to take care of was not her own, but for reasons she wasn’t quite sure of the Princess felt a desire to help Celeh. The two were growing closer, but they were far from best friends, yet something about the issue with her brother stung her deeply. Perhaps it was the deep love she shared for her own family, for if everyone ever killed Ninjin or Leke, the rampage that would follow would not be something soon forgotten.
Nearing the highest point of the prestigious district Prometheus’ estate came into view, the largest structure in the area. Focusing the female starts to descend, aiming to land right in front of the main gate of the compound, the two guards looking up as the females approach. Not making any threatening gestures as she lands Akassa addresses the guards.
”My name is Akassa Hattori, eldest child of King Tsuyo Hattory and I wish to speak with Prometheus Zex.” (This thread is based shortly after "Won't You Come In?" and before the "Shape of Things to Come" thread.)

Several things were on Celeh's mind. What would she do when she got home? What would she do with the information she got from this meeting? Would this meeting even have anything fruitful to offer for her quest? Many other questions plagued her mind, but those were the three at the forefront of her brain. The answer to the first one was simple and came to her on the spot. After explaining her findings to her brother she would probably train. The second and third questions went hand in hand, and there was no guarantee that she'd be able to make any sort of move based on the answers she got. Even with Akassa getting them entry to Zex's estate, if she could, that didn't mean Zex would be willing to help her out. After all, it was rather deceptive to make Zex thing he was going to be talking to a Princess when, in reality, it was just a lowly soldier that was looking to get information from him.
Celeh took a deep breath and began slowly descending along with Akassa, not intending any threatening actions toward anyone. She kept slightly to Akassa's left and three steps behind her. Akassa spoke and requested their entry to Zex's estate. Now all that was left was for the guard, or Zex, to give a reply. The soldier stood silently with the Princess and tried to quiet her mind so she could think clearly about one thought rather than being hazy with half a dozen.

The guard looked at Akassa for several minutes before giving her a sign that he was going to go get someone to escort them into the mansion. It would take several minutes for the guard to return with a servant of Zex’s. The servent would look over Akassa and Celeh before motioning them to follow him through the door’s to the Mansion. The servant would bring them through many rooms reminding them not to touch anything, that all of this was Zex’s property. Minutes later the servant would stop in front of a set of wooden doors, turning back to face the two.
“Prometheus Zex will be with you in a matter of minutes he is finishing up business with another at the current moment. You two are too wait in here, when he is done someone will bring you too him.”
As the servant opened the doors to the guest waiting room, taking a few steps in motioning them to enter. Two couches were placed in the center of the room surrounding a glass top coffee table. Book shelves were placed up against the wall, with end tables next to them and chair next to every table. Each table was topped with a table cloth and a lamp that light up the room. The servant gave a slight nod and exited the room. Leaving Akassa and Celeh to talk amongst themselves.

As the guard looked at her Akassa’s eyes meet his, her unwavering stare not an attempt to be intimidating, but to show she was not uncomfortable in the least. Waiting patiently the Princess does not look back to Celeh as she was confident the soldier could handle herself in the situation they were about to put themselves into. The Royal had requested the meeting, but the purpose of this visit was not her own, the female behind her the one looking for answers. With a growing respect held between the two warriors Akassa did not mind using her position to help the girl, hopefully this visit would bear some fruit and not prove to be a waste of time.
Upon the guards return Akassa nods in thanks when they are actually allowed into the compound, both of them falling in place behind the servant. Making their way up to the mansion and inside the Princess was not surprised at the elaborate furnishings and extravagant décor. Much like the Hattori family on New Vegeta, Prometheus Zex ruled here and because of his power he was able to live as he pleased. Led into the waiting room it is requested they wait for Zex to finish his current business. Understanding the long list of duties that came with being an individual of prestige and power Akassa nods again to signal her understanding. Once the two were alone she turns to Celeh.
”When we are granted our audience with Zex I will turn the floor over to you. From there forward you may try and get whatever information you deem important Celeh, I will not interfere.” That was not to say the Princess wouldn’t voice her opinion should she have one, but it was her way of officially letting Celeh know she could feel free to ask away. Akassa knew the soldier was as smart as she was formidable, the young female no doubt already having several questions in mind to begin the conversation. Remaining on her feet, not wanting to relax enough to take a seat in the alien’s home, Akassa waits along with her partner, wondering if the Lord of Alpha Prime might have any answers.

Celeh kept an eye on the guard, and then also on their escort as they were taken inside the gates and up to the residence of the Lord of Alpha Prime. His servants and his home were both of upstanding quality, as was to be expected. At least...they were such at first glance. Celeh did not trust anything about this place, though, given its shady reputation and the fact that it was on the edge of known space, as it were. The two stepped into the waiting room when the doors were opened. Neither took a seat, as they were both not exactly keen on relaxing too much in this place.
Akassa's words were met with a nod from the soldier and a smile, "I greatly appreciate your assistance, Princess. I only hope that Zex will be understanding about the requests of a soldier when he was likely given word of a Princess requesting his audience instead." She turned away from Akassa for a moment and took another look around the room, "It's strange, but I don't feel like I'm about to talk to a ruler. I feel more like I'm about to speak with a very shady businessman. Then again, Zex did outlaw killing in the tournament, so his motives are not too clearly black or white. It could just be a stunt to convince people that this area is peaceful enough to begin trading in, at least more than just black market goods. Either way, I don't like the uncertainty of it all."
She knew that it was highly likely that the room was either on video or being wire tapped for the sake of monitoring guests before Zex spoke with them. She didn't care, though. If Zex knew how she thought then at least he'd know the sort of thing he might have to deal with if he did speak with her. "I do expect him to have heard all or most of what I've said so far. He doesn't seem to me like the type that would let people into his home without monitoring them very closely."
Celeh's eyes scanned the visible doors in the room once every few moments, and she slowly moved over to take a seat at one end of one of the couches. "Perhaps his hospitality would be better accepted than shunned. It may do well to try and be on his better side if I'm going to ask a favor..." The soldier sighed and leaned back in her seat, but kept her senses sharp to the changes in her surroundings.

When the servant came into the room Zex was on a holographic call at the time with some possible business partners far across the galaxy. They had been making their case to do business with the aloof leader and they stated that they boasted a planet of considerable mineral wealth under their control with ‘willing’ workers. Prometheus Zex knew better than to question what ‘willing’ workers meant as he had seen it time and again. It didn’t matter so long as they held up their end of the bargain and provided what the Omega Collective needed. The servant made his way over to Zex and whispered into his ear about the new guests that had arrived. Apparently Akassa Hattori had arrived and was essentially demanding an audience with the Alpha Prime leader. The Hattori’s were all the same, brash and overly proud of their last name. With a sigh the leader stood up from his seat.
“Pardon the interruption but we are going to have to pick this up another time. It seems I have a guest. Until then goodbye,” The leader stated strongly as he ended the call. He could have let those fools ramble on about the need to spread their message all day while he tried to get to the actual deal but he needed to handle his guests. Not listen to a bunch of priests trying to make a business deal. The leader rose and left with the room with his servant in tail. As he entered into the room that the eldest of the Hattori waited he was not overly surprised to see that she had a retainer at her side.
“It is a pleasure to meet one of the legendary Hattori’s in person. I have not had the honor yet of meeting your father yet and hope to do so one day.” Promtheus Zex stated with a welcoming tone. “What is it that I can do for you today?”

Waiting alongside Celeh the Princess thought the soldier seemed nervous, or perhaps anxious. It was understandable; she had spent most of her life in the service of the military and probably didn’t put much time into her own needs. Things would be different in the future; she wanted Celeh to realize she was more of her partner than her retainer. Sure she was still assigned to Akassa and supposed to be her bodyguard, but the Princess would not drag her around like some dog on a leash. No, Celeh had proven she was a capable warrior and one more intelligent than most. Looking over at the girl Akassa smiles some.
”I do not trust him either and we best stay on our guard, but I have faith in our strength. Besides, I do not believe he would be foolish enough to try anything on us. When he arrives I will turn the conversation over to you, this is your chance to ask what you wish of him, but make sure to remember you represent New Vegeta as you do.” Her tone still calm she was not trying to talk down to her by any means, just wanting her to see the way Akassa herself looked at such conversations. No matter who the Princess spoke to she was always representing her home, the name Hattori carrying weight with it, but also responsibility.
As footsteps neared Akassa rose to her feet, looking over as one of the many doors to the room opens. In walked the tall alien, the creature a couple feet taller than either of the females. Having to look up to meet his eye Akassa was not intimidated in the least. Standing tall she offers a slight nod at his polite greeting.
”Thank your Lord Zex, it pleases me to meet on better grounds then last time…the death of your employee was most unfortunate, I hope justice has been served to that man that was responsible.” Not wanting to dwell on that she quickly changes the subject, explaining why they had come. ”I know I requested an audience with you, but it is actually my retainer that wished to speak with you. It was not an attempt to deceive; I only figured you would recognize my name over hers.” Stepping slightly to the side the Princess motions to Celeh. ”Lord Zex, this is Celeh, I am sure you remember watching her in the Galactic Tournament.”

The soldier kept her eyes locked intently on Zex when he entered the room. She remained silent for now, though, as Akassa spoke to the ruler of this place on her behalf. She still didn't know how Zex might take this sort of semi-deceptive act, but then Celeh wouldn't have been allowed an audience with him alone. He was likely a busy man, and catering to the questions of a single soldier from another planet likely wasn't in his list of top priorities. Still, now that she had her foot in the door that gave her a slight advantage in getting things done and over with. When Akassa finished speaking Celeh opened her mouth to talk.
"Prometheus Zex, I'm sure your list of things to do today didn't include answering the questions of a foreign soldier, so I'll do us both a favor and try to keep this quick and direct. Do pardon any bluntness on my part. I assure you that it is for the sake of saving your time and mine." She paused for a moment to take a breath and make her thoughts cohesive before putting them into words. "There is someone I'm looking for. It's a personal vendetta of sorts. I believed that they might use your tournament as a testing ground for a new weapon, but when you stated that killing wouldn't be accepted in the tournament they would have likely dropped out. It may seem far fetched to you, but I have reason to believe this is the case. My question, and I suppose my request, is that you give me a list of tournament entrants that dropped out before the first round."
There was no reason for them to stick around if killing wasn't allowed, because the machine was designed to assassinate saiyans. Even as strong as the fighters in the tournament were, Celeh believed that such a machine would have held its own against all but the strongest opponents, and with its programming it certainly would have executed anyone it deemed a threat if given the opportunity...
(Sorry that post took way longer than it should have. They'll be more timely from now on.)

The Saiyan princess had a mighty presence one that reminded Prometheus Zex very much of her father, though the King of New Vegeta had never met in person he had seen videos of him and heard very much of him through his connections. The man was powerful and knew as much. He demanded respect and if respect was not given he would take it. He was a typical Saiyan in that manner and this trait was passed down to Akassa Hattori. She knew she was powerful and her presence demanded respect something that the mysterious leader of Alpha Prime would gladly give. He did not need any problems with New Vegeta, at least not at this time. He was surprised however when Akassa decided to inform the leader that he would not be mainly speaking to the princess but rather that of her body guard.
"There is someone I'm looking for. It's a personal vendetta of sorts. I believed that they might use your tournament as a testing ground for a new weapon, but when you stated that killing wouldn't be accepted in the tournament they would have likely dropped out. It may seem far fetched to you, but I have reason to believe this is the case. My question, and I suppose my request, is that you give me a list of tournament entrants that dropped out before the first round." The request was simple enough and something that the leader could perform at any point though the bodyguard would probably be disappointed. The list was quite extensive as there were many killers that wanted to take part.
“I think this is something I could do but I must ask before presenting this list two things,” Zex started. He in the business of making sure that the Omega Collective thrived and he would not miss this opportunity, “The first being that I must know what the reason is for finding this person. The second is that the Princess that you so faithfully guard returns home and negotiates in good faith for a large expansion on the current trade agreement between New Vegeta and Alpha Prime.” Prometheus Zex did not think this an unreasonable request but it would be interesting to see what the Saiyans thought. He held the chips in this deal and he needed to see Alpha Prime’s wealth continue to grow. If a deal was struck with the Saiyans it would continue on the path of improving the image of Alpha Prime in many galactic rulers. “If those requests cannot be met however I am afraid that we would not be to proceed forward.” With that statement Zex turned as if he was going to leave, time to see what they would do.

Standing off to the side Akassa took a back seat for once, letting Celeh steer the conversation. This was her business and she would need to convince the alien lord to assist her with it. Arms casually crossing in front of her chest the Princess watches the way the soldier conducts herself. She was short and to the point, not dragging out her reason for this meeting with petty details and a long history. That was the same way Akassa wishes to carry out these type of meetings when she was the one speaking, time was the most valuable of assets and she rarely chose to spend much of it talking. A woman of few words Akassa was a creature of action, knowing what she did always spoke louder than what she said.
Prometheus was quick with his answer, the creature seeming as every bit intelligent as the stories she had heard. Although she was not fond of the alien as an individual she respected what he had done here on Alpha Prime. It was not the nicest of place to live, but he he had built it from nothing and ruled it with little help beyond his powerful brother. The first of his two requests was expected, as anyone offering information wished to know for what purpose. The second part was as surprising as it was clever. This was supposed to be a discuss between Celeh and Zex, but Akassa was still present and the cunning businessman was not about to pass up his chance to make a request of a royal. Calm brown eyes looking from Zex to Celeh and back again the princess slowly nods. She had promised Celeh she would help her with this and she always remained true to her word.
" I can speak with the King about expanding the trade between our respective homes, but all I can do is make an argument in your favor, it will be up to him if it moves beyond that." Akassa would bring the issue to the King upon he return, or at least she would have if the events that unfolded in the near future had not come to pass. Her blunt and honest words should be enough for the Lord, the fact her arms never unfold hinting that she wasnt all together pleased with having agreed to the condition, but she had for Celeh's sake. Prometheus best supply the lists and in their entirety.

Celeh kept silent as Zex made his demands. Her face lost expression for several minutes as she pondered her answer in silence. Was it really okay for her to wager the compliance of her entire race to a single man. She didn't know his motives or if he'd even try to make fair trade possible between this place and her home. She took a deep breath and sighed. Hearing Akassa's reply made her much happier about the whole ordeal, that the Princess would offer so much just to help her with this, but Celeh could not allow her personal vendetta to force her own people into any kind of binding agreement that might not go so well for them. She shook her head, "Even if I was certain things would go favorably for New Vegeta in such a trade agreement I can't expect my entire race to be included as part of a trade for information that only benefits me. If that's what it takes to get some names from you then you can keep them. I'll find the one responsible some other way. I'm not so undisciplined that I'd let my quest for vengeance cause problems for my home planet."
She glanced away from them for a moment and then smirked, looking to Zex specifically, "If you want to set up trade with New Vegeta that's fine. It's the King and Queen's decision to make on how that does or doesn't happen. I won't put them in an unfavorable position over my own personal problems. I wish you good luck in setting up trade. If that's all you have to say on the matter then I'll be taking my leave. I apologize for wasting your time." With that, Celeh started to walk toward the door. She'd be lying to herself if she tried to play it off like she wasn't the least bit frustrated at how things had turned out, and maybe she was being a bit hasty with her exit, but Zex didn't seem the type to negotiate with those not in positions of power since they didn't really have anything to offer him in most cases.

The princess knew that what Prometheus Zex offered in exchange for the information was nothing that great. The mysterious leader of Alpha Prime simply wanted the door opened so that trade negotiations could be performed. He did not want a trade deal at this current second as it was impractical to do such a thing, Akassa for all the bravado did not hold much power in the Saiyan court. She could only open the door to Tsuyo and that was all Zex need. Tsuyo did not know of Zex and thus he would more than likely at least open negotiations for the sheer opportunity of gathering information. The soldier however did not understand how power works, how the game was played. She flat out shut down the deal without so much as a second thought. She stated that she was not worth the leveraging of her entire race.
“Young soldier, you do not understand how this game works.” Prometheus Zex said as the soldier turned towards the door. “Pardon the expression. But this is how those who hold power do business. Akassa Hattori knows this and works with those who you are requesting information from. Frankly it is a little sad to see you come all this way only to turn back because of trade negotiations.” Zex added as he began to turn and begin to walk back up the stairs. There was one thing that he had left out that the soldier would probably find interesting and it was his ace up the sleeve.
“It is a shame. Especially since it would be rather easy for me to locate this particular person you are looking for if they participated in my tournament. Even where they are right now, there is little that is hidden from me. But since trade is such a heavy handed deal that burdens your people so much this conversation is over.” Zex said as he continued to climb the stairs located on the other side of the room.

Akassa was completely caught off guard by Celeh’s reaction, the soldier turning down the offer after the Princess had already agreed to it. Blinking some she watched her start to turn, already heading towards the door. Slowly crossing her arms over her chest Akassa wasn’t sure what to say. She had agreed to help the girl with this and even agreed to suggest her father contact Prometheus in order to gain the information, yet Celeh was unwilling to make such a compromise. A small part of her wanted to slap the soldier for making her come all this way to only give up with the first small obstacle in their way, but the other part of her wanted to pat the girl on the soldier. Under most circumstances Akassa was uncompromising, and she was proud to see Celeh put the crown first as well. She wanted this information, had even asked Akassa to help obtain it, but when even a slight burden was put on the crown in exchange for the information she so easily walked away.
For his part Zex was done with the conversation as well, seemingly not willing to work with the girl at all in terms of his conditions. He might be right that Celeh didn’t realize that in order to obtain information one usually had to offer some in return, but what Zex saw as weakness was not necessarily so. Not saying a word Akassa’s eyes shifted back and forth between the two of the, waiting to see if either of them actually made their exit. If she had been the one seeking information she would have bargained with him, but then again she was more in a position to. It was going to be interesting to see what Celeh would do and if she did nothing Akassa planned to quietly follow her out.
