The Black Day [CARNAGE]

Nasu jumped in just in time to once more draw Marrow away from Taori. Just by taking a look he could tell that the guy had been fighting without holding back, but soon either fighter would reach their limit. Marrow was somewhat right, this was a world threatening fight and yet Nasu did not look too panicked, neither did everyone treat it like a big deal. He was not sure if evacuation had been achieved or not, he had no idea, neither did he manage to contact Cheri. All the man had to say was a simple statement.

“You get used to it after a couple of times.”

The man got to witness Russ snapping out of the mind control. It was definitely a good thing that he managed to go through with this course, he was not sure about it at first, but he figured that it was worth a shot nevertheless. While of course Nasu did not make part of his contribution public given it was mostly in telepathy, he recognized that he played somewhat of a part in this and nodded over to the fellow Saiyan.

“Do not mention it. You can thank me after we save the planet.”

Nasu held the sword in his grip tight, and once more returned to jump Marrow, with the sword above his head, and the blade that descended upon Marrow, at least keep her attention away from Taori long enough that he could end the fight with the other Super Saiyan.

Nasu struck the girl away with enough ease to push her off, but apparently whoever was the brilliant mastermind behind this strange girl, decided to throw the towel not unlike a coward, however far more fiendish was the way she did so; she allowed the girl to snap back a few moments prior, he stepped back shortly and his expression while in disbelief mostly displayed disgust.

“Motherfucker.”

He thought to himself. Whenever this was over, he would make sure to find this stranger. If he could master the power of his eyes, he could probably see the color of their soul somewhere, but right now in the end he just stepped back and when attacked, all he did was stand in the face of it, allowing the magic to blast him through. The attack left him scarred and bleeding, but the man stared quietly nevertheless.

Russ looked like he knew her, he did know how or why but he tried an interesting approach. Nasu did not know if it would work, but anyway, once the smoke cleared, he did not look too pissed off, despite the damage, and the fact that his mind was quite numb, not from the pain but from the battle lust he was holding off from unleashing. He struggled to speak in truth, therefore he just did what Marrow asked him to do: he would get away, and give Russ a few parting words.

“I will leave her to you.”

In Russ’ mind at least. Then his body left the aerial plane to move closer to the action between Taori and Lottus, some kind of a conclusion was about to take place and Nasu was going to observe very careful with a single hand holding his sword, all the way up his shoulder, for his blade rested upon the muscles behind his back, almost as if he was carrying a trunk behind himself.

Used [Utility] Telepathy to speak with Russ

The man had been here before, at this moment. Perhaps at a different time, and with different characters around him, but a stalemate of these proportions was simply far too familiar. He could nearly see a younger himself drag himself off the bloody mess his sword had passed through, which his nails and fingers had ripped and torn through, truly indeed, this was all too familiar, for the stakes yet remained the planet’s fate.

That was why he returned near Taori and Lottus, and made sure to observe the two, whomever would emerge victorious from this would draw the end of it. Simply enough, Taori did, and Lottus prepared a little special thing for him. Nasu had himself ready, to shield him, through the strange visions and flashbacks in his eyes, this was indeed just like back then. However, he did not end up shielding him.

There was no need. That attack was not deadly enough.

He remained frozen for a while, with his hand that waited for instruction from his mind, it did not move however and instead he got to witness the pair that had completed their duel. While he just stared. While the battlelust inside him yet raged, something pleasing kicked in; upon his shoulders, almost like a veil of goodness bestowed from the Gods above. Or was it relief… that it did not end up like the last time?

He did not know what it was, but he knew that he liked it. Almost like he could find some sort of closure. This time, at least. He knew too well it would not be too long until another planetary threat would arise, somewhere around the galaxy.

Nasu turned back and returned to his base form, he did not know what was being said, but he did not need to… he could somewhat figure out the gist of it. He turned around, to see Russ finish her off, perhaps if he tried really hard, he could have done something for the girl. He could have likely stopped it, but alas, he knew nothing about what he could have done afterwards. He was not meant, perhaps to interfere at all, this was not his story anymore.

None of this was…

“H-hey Nasu, things are good now right?”

A figure popped off from within his cape, he had been hiding all along inside his armor, a small dragon-like creature that turned around only to be quite shocked, seeing Nasu in that state.

“Yeah.”

Nasu reluctantly said, with a quiet breath that followed, his bloody gaze looked at him in inquiry. The creature realized that the man was wondering if anything was up and he just downed a node down his throat and confessed.

“Then quick, let's get outta here! There are news and they are waiting on us!”

The man blinked briefly, he had just snapped back to the real world, no more fighting and whatnot, it was time he would return to his duty as tutor for the day.

But after all, his turn today had ended when Tsuya left. These kids, in the end, managed to hold their own fights. This battle as a whole was not even part of the war, what war? There was no longer anything else to worry about. Conflicts, and other weird political stuff, was something they would have to figure out on their own as the years passed. As of now, he truly realized… that he was no longer needed.

An interesting realization. The Tuffles no longer needed him. They could handle themselves together with many other good hearted individuals. The Black Day was nearing its end, only to be replaced by the sunset.

Thus, the Saiyan Knight began a silent march, step after step, the steel clanked against the rocks beneath his metal soles, until he disappeared from sight, and from senses. Almost as if he had completely left the physical world somehow.
