They hadn't been there to greet him when he woke up. Proudly presenting the Scales back to his hands after all these centuries. And they hadn't been miraculously welcomed back into the Land of the Kais, waiting to embrace their sibling back into this new society they'd created. So this left Retemed with a very puzzling conundrum.

Where in the hell where his brothers?!

Or rather, where out of Hell where they? As they very clearly were not here with him. Scheming their return to glory like they'd always planned. Had they forgotten about him? Had he hidden himself away so spectacularly that they'd convinced themselves there had only ever been three of them? That they were somehow the three horsemen this whole time?

Surely they hadn't left him here out of some form of shame? He knew he'd always been the weakest of them. He was content with that, power was never his goal in life. Yet now he wondered. Had he been some stain on their honour and image that they had simply been waiting for a chance to be rid of him? Had one of caused the Shinjin to turn against him?

It was then that Retemed remembered where he was. Alone and isolated in possibly the ugliest part of hell. Surrounded by horrid black branches with wicked spikes and nary a confidant to speak his mind to. Left alone with his own thoughts for so long it was only natural that he would start concocting wild and bizarre conspiracies.

"No...no...no..." He shook his head softly. "You wouldn't do that to me. We are brothers. Fruit of the same tree. Nothing will shake that bond, not even time itself." He took a deep breath and collected himself.

"The enchantment woke me up just fine, but something must've happened to the broadcast. That was it. You simply didn't hear me when I called for you my brothers." He took a few steps forward, slow and clumsy. He hated being without the Scales. It made him feel cold, and weak.

"Yet I have no power to summon you here. No power to whisper to the void and bring you to me my brothers." His voice was shaky, pathetic and alone as he fell to his knees among the brambles. "Without the Scales I am trapped in Otherworld. Alone and forgotten, like any dead soul."

He raises his head to look up at the swirling black mist of the sky. "I pray now to you my Brothers, come to check the wretched souls of this realm that we have overseen for so long. Whose dealings in mortal life we have toyed with so pleasantly." He looks around for any sight of anything. "Hear this desperate whisper from your dearest brother Retemed."

Cyprus has been on Namek for some time with this tour. But he had not really had much to do while he was waiting for the loser bracket to start. To get himself back in the matches. So he decided to do some raiding and plundering. Getting his hands on the guiding candles that could be used to transport himself across the cosmos. Calibrating his ship with the guiding candle alongside his Kai abilities allowed him to bring forth his ship to the underworld. He would not be able to stay for that long but it would be long enough. Just cause some chaos without any prying eyes. He didn't want anyone to find out he was some vile cruel being. At least anyone on Namek until the tournament was over.

But as his ship arched through breaking into the underworld he could see a figure already down below. Someone alone in the darkness of hell. Maybe someone that he could steal from. "Keep sailing the ship and find us a populated town. I'll handle this figure." If he was alone in hell he had to be strong. So leaping out of his ship the rest of his crew kept sailing forward. He crashed down in front of Retemed. His eyes snapped up and glanced at Retemed. "You..." He paused. "Brother. I thought you were just a stranger. Seems you escaped..." He got up grinning and went to hug his brother. "WELCOME BROTHER! YOUR 'ALIVE' AGAIN! THIS IS GREAT!"

“Nearly all of us must have escaped.”

A single comment that passed by from within the woods. It was a voice on its own that would perhaps confuse his fellow Shinjin, because after all Nidhogg had gone through quite some change since the last time they had seen him. No longer did he walk around with the classic white hair, rather his hair had withered and become dark, his very eyes were completely black as well. For the how and why, of course there were many reasons, but they were hard to truly describe.

Not to mention the voice itself was nearly muffled, robotic but it was indeed Nidhogg’s. He had not been waiting for anyone by any chance, rather Nidhogg had been busy managing his new life on Earth… of course he did not actually reside there or anything, instead he was curious to see if he could perhaps rekindle the light within his heart to once more cause endless wars, but it was a steady and slow process. Not that it felt much slow to him, he could live many more years, there was no rush for him to hurry.

But all of a sudden while he was done listing potential activities to get started, he began to hear something. A calling, one that suddenly had him blank out, the space and time around him turned blank, and all in a while he looked back and saw familiar figures.

Ah yes, brothers. Another day, another collection of souls to be guided. Or was it… no, eventually those figures faded away, and once more he found himself elsewhere. He forgot, what was he doing? Ah, whatever. But he did hear those voices again, from a very different place… was he on Earth still? No, this had to be the Otherworld.

“I do not see Death. Where is he?”

From the shades, he revealed himself to the others, complete with his beeping armor that supported him. His crimson eyes looked over, yes, they were indeed the horsemen… nearly all of them.

“He is not dead. Is he?”

Whether that was a joke or not, it was hard to tell… however it would have been quite ironic. As of now all he could do was watch the few, with a blank and tired gaze. War had changed, back then he was still quite serious but much more so lively and powerful in his gestures alone.

He knew instantly. It called to him. The energy, even after so much time, it awakened the same feeling of familiarity as it did then. Of course, he had reconvened with Cyprus a while ago, but they were merely half of the head count. Now, as soon as he would join them, they would be back to their former glory.

Initially, he had been looking for Lottus, the convenient fool had not given him word since their last meeting. Had he found a way out of Hell, already? If so, that would be a shame. After all, he wanted to keep true to his words to bring some famous Demons down, he simply had been busy.

That would have to wait, however. Right now, his time would be to reunite with his brothers, and nothing else. Always fond of a good spectacle, he kai kai’d into the middle of the group, fireworks and pyrotechnics flashing in the background as he entered the fray.

“You didn’t think I’d miss this, did you? Oh no, nothing in the world is good enough to keep me away from reuniting with my fellow men!” He shouted, putting his arms in the air and grabbing Retemed and Nidhogg for a hug.

He planted a kiss on Retemed’s wrinkly forehead before letting both of them go.

“You look good, that beauty sleep worked on you like a charm!” Vale said, before turning to face Nidhogg.

“You! Still as fashionable as ever, aren’t you?” he commented, noticing the suit of armor.

After hogging some of the attention, he joined Cyprus, placing himself beside him.

“I’m glad to see you all, to see us all together…I believe it goes without saying that this forced slumber took a toll on us all. I’ve been hard at work and let me tell you all something. Mortals aren’t what they used to be. They’ve grown stronger, but remain as fallible as they ever did. We should focus on regaining our momentum too…”

He paused for a second. Maybe he was going too fast with all of this.

“Well, before that…What do you all want to do?”

They could worry about the details after that.

Whether his prayer had worked or this was just the Mother of all conviniences Retemed didn't particularly know, he also didn't particularly care. What mattered was the results.

A ship flew overhead and a figure dropped down. Very swiftly the Shinjin of Famine felt his heart stop as he worried that the Kais had found him, but when he thought about it. The Kais didn't tend to use ships, if he had been found out he likely would've already been grabbed.

No, it was not the icy hand of justice that greeted him but instead the visage of the first of his brothers. "And I thought I was supposed to be the blind one." He muttered dryly in response to his brother's failure to recognise him initially. "Ah! No hugs no-!" His protest was literally squeezed out of his lungs as the Horseman of Conquest embraced him warmly. "The milennia seem to have lessened your understanding of personal space." He grumbles.

Another figure soon manifested, ethereal at first before becoming more material. A figure both familiar and unfamiliar to Retemed. Some kind of Oni perhaps? But then the figure spoke of Death, and the pieces started to click. "Time has been unkind to you Nidhogg, if I am indeed speaking to my brother." Potentially a biting remark, but spoken with almost an air of sympathy. "If Vale has expired I know not of it, though knowing him it wouldn't surprise me if he'd figured out a way."

Speak of the Devil and he will appear. As if by magic Vale would manifest nearby and immediately rush the group. Retemed recoiled as his brother went to kiss him, his face crumpling into a visage of visible disgust. "And I thought Cyprus had forgotten about personal space. What is it about this long slumber that has made you both think I've suddenly grown less averse to being touched?" He questioned, shaking his head. Maybe he shouldn't have been so desperately calling for his siblings after all.

After all the unecessary affection was done with he listened to Vale's comments about the state of mortals now and the state that the brother's found themselves in personally. "As much as I hate to admit it, you speak the truth. I am but a shell of what I once was, forced to bow and kowtow to a mortal in some act of self-preservation." He grumbled. "I am powerless without the scales of Fate. I need one of you to transport me to Moloch so I may retrieve it. I don't trust the mortal to do the task for me."

“HUH ANOTHER VOICE!” Cyprus turned around to see another one of his brothers was alive and well! This was great! The Four Horsemen were all back in action. (Since he was aware of Vale unlike the others). “War?” He turned his head to see was coming but he looked so different? And he sounded so different? “It seems the imprisonment has not been so good for you.” Cyprus shook his head and stepped forward letting go of his brother Retemed. He went over to give the Horsemen a handshake. “It is good to see you War. I know it must be tough but if all four of us unite again we can do so much. Though we all have to regain our strengths. The world outside of hell is so much stronge then ever. Those mortals are really troublesome in this area.” Cyprus rubbed his head in admittance.

“Speaking of Vale, A. He is not dead and B…” He could sense him coming this way! He had already come on and went to hug both his brothers. He explained what Cyprus already said, of course with the added note the morals were still easy to bend and control. Cyprus frowned. “But I just wanna kill em.” Cyprus waved. “Controlling them is such boring work. That like what the Kai’s up above try to do. But, if it our best method then we can do just that.” Cyprus paused as Retemed noted he need to get his scale back? At least that what he assumed Moloch was. (It had been a long time he had forgotten). “Well do you know where you misplaced it brother? Surely the four of us can collect it. It can be our first task together as the Four Horsemen. WE need to all gather our strength before we reign chaos again across the stars!”
