Yangcong's new found identity was going to come into existence. With his defeat against Azoth and also being a wanted man. He needed to make himself disappear from the universe. Now laying within his mansion estate, tuffle soldiers that he had brought from Plant were present in their futuristic gear. Currently laying on a medical bed, his new found metal right forearm was now present. After hours of surgery and doing it right and correct, the tuffle scientist that was present in the room had successfully performed the surgery.
After the tuffle soldiers had left the room and the tuffle scientist went about his business, Yangcong had called for Derry to come visit him. Seeing as though it wasn't a secret, what he had done to the Capital on Plant, along with being the most wanted man in the universe. He wanted to see what Derry would think about all of this. Yangcong had a plan to hide in the shadows and he was going to show it to Derry.
The tuffle soldiers were already present outside the mansion estate and waiting for Derry to arrive to escort him to Yangcong's hospital room that was design for his recovery from all of this. The now bare chested man whose left arm wasn't broken anymore but the pain was still there and covered in bandages. He stood in the room just looking at himself in the mirror.
After taking some time to cool off after the whole debacle with Kon's rampage, Derry is invited to come visit Yangcong at his estate, likely to discuss some more... recent events. He certainly has plenty of thoughts in regards to what he's going to say to the old man, mainly having to do with explaining the situation with the young saiyan and his thoughts about what Yangcong has been up to. It's almost like every damn time Derry takes his eyes off of the tuffle he gets himself into more and more trouble, but this time was rather special considering what exactly he has done. He didn't want to bring any of this up when he was around to do the mission with Kon, but he certainly isn't holding back this time.
The crime boss arrives outside of Yangcong's estate and is greeted by two tuffle soldiers. After briefly looking him over, the left soldier moves behind Derry while the other one opens up the front door to him, leading the way towards Yangcong while the one in the back shuts the door behind them. After making their way through several hallways, both of the guards remain stationary outside on door in particular, signaling to Derry that he has arrived at his desired destination. Without hesitation, Derry grabs onto the doorknob and lets himself in, not even bothering knocking. He just wants to get this whole mess out of the way.
He's greeted by the man himself standing in front of a mirror, his left arm covered in bandages still and with his new robotic right forearm. Derry closes the door behind him and glares right at Yangcong, remaining silent for a few seconds before asking, "You certainly have a lot of explainin' to do, Yangcong." He's already aware of most of what has transpired, but he wants to hear it directly from Yangcong himself, make him own up to whatever he's done in person to Derry.
Technique Type: Utility Technique Name: Ki Scrambler
Description: Stolen technology from the tuffles, Yangcong wears an entirely different suit of armor that is different than the standard one that he normally wears. Because this new suit covers his entire face and body. His appearance, along with his natural ki signature is hidden from those that know his personal ki signature and changes it entirely while in the suit.
By visiting one of the ancient temples of Earth, Yangcong had uncovered a demonic spell which allows him to turn his entire appearance to that of a skeleton. Though its just an appearance and merely cosmetics, he has used it to hide his idenity.
The door had opened and Yangcong staring in the mirror and seeing Derry stepping in. They both knew that this was coming and with Yangcong walking over to his black robe, he placed it on, along with placing the hood over his head. He looked over at Derry and finally turned to face him, placing both his hands within the pockets of the robe.
"I know what I had done on Plant wasn't right. More importantly, It wasn't right to do it while I am in the organization that you represent. Many see me as a lunatic when it came to the events that had unfolded."
He would walk over to his dresser and picking up his half whisky glass and chugging the rest of it before continuing.
"Many don't realize that. Just because a new generation has stepped in and doesn't know the war that I had fought since I was a child. They truly believe that speaking on both sides would truly end this sixty year conflict. I have seen outpost attacking outpost on both sides. They want to try to avoid any civilian casualties on both sides. What many don't understand is....
Peace can't be achieved without anyone on the saiyan throne or the leader of the tuffle army. Even though both leaders have been dead for some time now. Others didn't forget their fallen friends that had died decades ago or even as far as yesterday. You may ask why I didn't try to go for the saiyan throne and try to reason with the saiyans. I thought about it, heck I even thought about being one of the leaders on the tuffle side. The issue with all that... well you already know my history.
I'm not really a trustworthy individual given that I was a spy my whole life. People become wary of you when they know what your profession was. The reason why the tuffles were able to side with me and attack the Capital was because of the many lengths and missions I have done to prove my loyalty to them and yet. Others would see me as a traitor. ("How could he work for the saiyans for a decade and then all of a sudden hope over to the other side like he never caused us any damage?") Is probably what the majority would be thinking."
He finally sat on his bed while having his off the bed and planted on the ground.
"I had joined this organization because I had given up the life of being a saiyan military spy and wanted a new life. Also, I was a small time wanted man from the tuffles because of what I had done to them over the years. That's why when I had returned much stronger, they had all given up hope in trying to take me out."
He began to tell Derry his ultimate plan, something he's been holding onto for quite sometime.
"I had recently met with Azoth. Which is how I had loss my right arm in the first place. I loss the battle against him and more than certainty, he believes that I am dead. But you don't have to worry about me anymore Derry."
He would get off his bed and stare into Derry's eyes before his body began to change drastically. Going from his former tuffle like state to that of a skeleton. He would also search inside his robe and press the device within it, scrambling his natural ki signature and changing it completely.
"As far as the entire universe is concern. Yangcong is dead and from this point further, you can address me as Jester."
As Derry anticipated, Yangcong begins going into a little speech in regards to all of the ways he's fucked this whole operation up. It was to be expected considering everything that's happened back then and since, the hybrid chugging down his whisky as they talked. Derry paces around the room, taking in all of the things around (mostly more bottles of alcohol) as well as listening into the man's little story surrounding his beliefs in the war. If Derry were to be honest, this whole conflict to him has just been a way for him to make money and nothing else. He personally has no stakes in it, unlike the man standing before him right now who has every right to care about what's happening on that forsaken planet.
Derry didn't want to interrupt Yangcong's little speech as he was too interested in listening in and really seeing what makes the man tick, what goes through his mind. It's rare that they ever really get to speak on subjects such as this since most of the time they only talk about business. The hybrid admits that he joined the organization because he wanted a new life, a life away from all of the tiring conflict, of all of the pain. Derry admits in his mind that he too would be longing for something like that if he were to go through the things Yangcong has been through. As he also admits losing to Azoth and making it seem like he died that day, Yangcong does something in front of Derry that he hadn't anticipated.
His eyes shoot wide open as the tuffle in front of him loses all of his skin and muscle almost in an instant, transforming into a skeletal man and declaring that Yangcong is dead and that his name is now Jester. Derry pauses for a few moments as he takes in everything Yangcong has said to him and revealed to him, now not quite sure what to say to him. "Very well, Jester," Derry starts as he walks towards the skeleton, "Yangcong might've failed at the capital and made an enemy of Azoth, but perhaps you could start fixing those mistakes. 'Course, I was gonna bark at ya for all o' the legal fees I gotta pay for Yangcong just to get the cops off o' ya, but that's been taken care of now that he's dead."
Derry pauses again, thinking about what to say next before continuing, "Of course, if you're gonna start makin' it up, you're gonna have to start workin' again. Are you able to do any jobs now, or do you still need more time to rest? I'm in no particular rush at the moment."
"I still have some of my intergalactic contacts that have been loyal to me since my days as a spy for the saiyan army. As much as a bad name I have given myself. Money will always trump any bad blood I have with people who only care for money and nothing more. Along with how threaten I have become over the years."
He'd simply revert back to his original form as he now sat on his bed.
"As for work, there are a few contacts that owes me a lot of money due to my services that I had helped them with long ago. So the payments will be sent to your account under false companies and such. Nothing to tie you to anything illegal since I know you are running for president.
As badly as the news wants to portray me, I was helping the children back in the day escape the war. I know that one day you may cut ties with me due to the crazy events that I do. But just know that I have always been grateful for you taking me in back then. You looked out for me when I had no other."
Yangcong had began coughing, blood and mucus had escaped his mouth and onto his robotic hand. He'd look at Derry with see double vision phantoms of him with a blur lens. He tried to squint to make out the image to become perfect but it was still relatively hard.
"I don't have much time left in this world I am afraid. I have to stop this war and finally bring the peace I always wanted."
