New Arrival. Detouring through Lux.

”Hey now, one of them is only half-Saiyan at MOST! Odds are you only have to calm down one and a third Saiyans!” He shrugged, and a shadowy set of strings unfurled from his fingers. They were about to unleash themselves— curl around the tufts of Araka’s hair and puppet him around. But before he could perform the spell, Zerori broke his concentration.

Damn. Darn. Blast it. All those other expletive words! People’s speech patterns were always a tricky one. It was easier to copy mannerisms and movements, but the minute detail of a lisp was one of the last things he was going to remember. Next time he copied Zuqetta, he’d be sure to include that.

”No harm here! Just trying to invoke a little sibling love is all. It would’ve been fun to see your face get all red… Well, redder, I guess.”

It was around this time that things began to wind down. Just a tad, of course. Law enforcement was beginning to approach, but Erebos cut off their path with a line of shadowy picket fences. Bright, bold letters saying DEMON CRIME SCENE - DO NOT CROSS were painted across the surface. Somehow, this dissuaded most everyone from interfering… for now.

”Excuse you? Ice cream? I was waiting in line at the information booth when this malcontent suddenly bumped into me and started swearing!”

Placing his fists firmly on his hips, he gave Zuqetta a stern and critical glare. Looking at her now, he decided she definitely wasn’t the woman who’d been yelling at him before. In fact, he was pretty sure he knocked the other woman across the skyline, too…

”Hmph. Ice cream isn’t even good here on Konats. Why’d you wanna get their crummy cream anyways?” his hand swirled as he gestured this way and that, and suddenly Tuleap’s car had an exact replica sitting next to it. Fashioned from the shadow of the wreck, this gray-green copy would certainly run better than before. Only problem? It was Umbra-Powered. She’d have to park it in the shadow to refuel the thing. Also, if she were to check the glove compartment, she’d find the car registered in Erebos’ name. Probably for the best that she never gets pulled over.

”You’ll find an instruction manual under the drivers seat,” he said, barely regarding Tuleap as he waved her off. ”So anyways… You confessed to Ise and didn’t tell me?! I figured I’d be the first to know, jerk! How’d she take it? Was she dumbfounded? Happy? Did you guys kiss yet?”

Zerori would have actively mocked Zuqetta JUST to prove a point if she were right in front of her but she was gradually moving back over to the car. Instead, she gave a sassy little wave over her shoulder before finally stopping near the car. As Erebos had seemed to cordon off the place and provide them a little bit more privacy, Zerori would listen to Tuleap and Araka explain things and left the two behind her to argue things out. Predictably, the fault of the car being damaged was the result of both of them having a fight about-

Turning to both of them as she overheard their argument, Zerori couldn’t help but look at them both with the most judgemental stares, “...ice cream. Ya’ll fought over ice cream?!” As insane as it sounded, given her experience she had with both of them, the revelation left Zerori feeling almost unsurprised. So much so that Zerori threw up both of her hands in surrender before yelling, “Whatever, I’m fixing this right now-” And just as she’d turned back to the vehicle to inspect it and prepare to fix it back up to the way it was Erebos had taken that moment to do the job himself. And damn did it look nice. The only issue was that it wasn’t the exact same thing and that had Zerori turn to Erebos with a fire in her eyes.

“I had that HANDLED! What if they don’t want to park under trees or-! Or only drive at night?!” However, in all the bluster Zerori was feeling, the instant Ise was brought up her ire seemed to melt away. Damn Erebos - he hadn’t managed to get her red in the face with his little ‘trick’ but the mention of her girlfriend was enough for Zerori to nearly light up the area like a stoplight on a dark night. At least this guy has the right idea! Referring to Araka’s statement that if she was going to tell Erebos anything, she would have done so. Choking a bit in surprise, Zerori just turned away from Erebos and scoffed, “I lost track of a LOT of things, okay?! One thing led to another and we just… confessed. I am not telling you the details.”

She looked over at Zuqetta, daring her with narrowed eyes, to try and give him ANY of the details that had happened that night. It was a rather stressful time for all of them and he didn’t need to know about her throwing an emotional tantrum. “Ise was… more calm than I was, honestly. And NO, we didn’t kiss! That-” She hesitated, recalling just how much ‘extra information’ Ise had gotten when she’d just brushed their hands together. She definitely wanted to kiss her to see just how much of an effect that would have on Ise, but she’d also like her conscience too. “-We’ll get there but I’m not telling YOU anything about that!” She pointed at Erebos pointedly.

Crossing her arms, Zerori looked over at Zuqetta, “So… what kind of ice cream was it?” She cleared her throat, actually VERY curious because Zuqetta had a history of food aggression (Zerori was the one that started it but she’ll deny it time and time again) so it had to be really good! She also tossed a look to Araka and Tuleap, “Zerori, by the way. Never caught your names.”

The fact of this entire matter happened to be over ice cream only infuriated Araka. However, it did not warrant a reaction. More so the reaction he wanted to give would probably land him in an early grave and so he refrained.

The brazen Saiyan woman took the lead in introductions asking the name of the two bystanders. "My name's Tuleap and this is Araka," she happily replied seemingly ignorant to the aftermath of the carnage. "

"Yes, yes introductions are good but I think we all still are ignoring the elephant in the room." Araka was pressed about their lack of care, and felt the proper authorities could actually show up sooner or later. Surprisingly Tuleap didn't seem the bit most concerned about such a thing either.

He felt like he may have been out of touch with the situation here. As if this were some kind of norm on Konats. "Araka relax, everything is going to be fine just trust me. This isn't some kind of Intergalactic incident."

While he was sure the extremities weren't that high. It was odd that nobody feared the consequences of prior actions. But maybe that's just how things were, obviously nothing like it was on Earth. He sighed deeply propping against a overturned vehicle.

Araka was worried about the situation and Erebos had become distracted in his attempts to pester and tease Zuqetta; this gave Zerori time to explain the situation involving the strange shadow vehicle that Erebos had made with his magic. The way Zerori spoke felt nearly condescending, but Zuqetta had no reason to remark on the attitude; Zerori still had every reason to be upset, and it was better to simply allow the girl to get her aggression out in the here and now. Regardless of the attitude, Zuqetta took an interest in the explanation, as vague as it may have been. Zuqetta thought of her own power and control over dark energy and wondered if she might be able to make use of a similar ability; though, she had no idea what she would actually do with such an ability. Worse yet, if the construct was dismantled by light, then it'd have been dangerous for her to make a vehicle of her own considering how it may react to the light aligned magics she now wielded.

Tuleap had already introduced herself and had taken to calming Araka down; while Zerori hadn't made the same attempt, her remark would be roughly identical. Zuqetta hadn't taken a proper notice of the situation before, however looking over the scene now, she realized that a rather large mess had been made of the place. While she wasn't on the same level of concern as Araka, she also wasn't as dismissive as Zerori and Tuleap seemed to be. Zerori was ready to take her leave of the area and gave a not so subtle hint for Zuqetta to follow; before she would however, she felt it only necessary to at least give the area a bit of attention.

"Nice ta meetcha Tuleap!" Zuqetta would say with a sharp grin as she gave a quick knowing nod to Zerori, "You can call me Zuq, sorry about uhh... heh, all of this." She'd apologize as she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, "Oh, and for your car! You at least got this nifty thing here, eh?" She'd remark, point a thumb to the shadow car, "If ya don't like it though, feel free ta hit me up sometime! It's my fault your car got smashed in after all, I don't mind payin' for a replacement." She'd offer with a confident grin before turning back towards the road and the destruction it hosted from her fight with Erebos, "As for all this? Ehhhh, I'm not quite as efficient as my s- er, as Zerori, but I'll do my best." Zuqetta would comment as she held her hands out before her and began to draw upon a swath of magic.

Light would appear before her palms as she looked over the destruction; a soft, white light which began to grow in size. Zuqetta would concentrate on the elemental composition of iron, carbon, hydrogen and more; formulating equations in her head as to pieced together the elements to create existing substances. Her method was still greatly lacking compared to Zerori's or magic, but so long as it got the job done then for now it was good enough. It would take a few moments, but eventually the orbs of light before her hands would begin to break apart; smaller wisps of light would expel from the larger orbs and begin to blanket the scene, and as literal as magic could be, the destruction around them would begin to be repaired.

Lamp posts would be enveloped in light, straightening up and becoming restored to power. Holes and cracks in the street would be patched up, allowing at least for proper travel. While the buildings nearby would find themselves equally repaired, with shattered windows being restored anew and holes in the walls being mended. The whole restoration wasn't the prettiest of jobs, and would in fact come across akin to an amateur patch job; in spite of this, the surrounding destruction would at least be restored to the point that once wouldn't have even suspected a battle took place.

"Fwuuuuuu!" Zuqetta would exclaim with a released breath as she finished the exertion of her magic, leaning forward and clutching her knees as she took several deep breaths, "There, see?" She'd say with a grin as she wiped her brow of sweat, "Good as new! Heh, kinda at least." She'd remark as she looked back towards Araka and gave a wink to the worried man, "Now, wish I could stay but as ya might of heard, looks like my attention is needed." Zuqetta would laugh as she gestured in the direction that Zerori had disappeared to, "Like I said, hit me up if you're ever lookin' for a new car! Or heck, if you guys ever visit Plant!" She say enthusiastically as she removed her mercenary business card holder and gave a card to Araka and Tuleap both, "Cya both around sometime!" She'd finish, bidding the two farewell before taking into the air and after her sister.

She'd certainly gotten better at materializing complex materials, however it was clear from the exhaustion she felt that she could use a great deal more training. Swords were simple, even by the thousands, tempered steel was still just steel. Cement, electronics, glass; while not necessarily complex, were certainly difficult to create all at once and in such large amounts. Still, she felt good abut her ability to restore the area, and though didn't feel quite as good about what it was Zerori likely wanted to discuss.
