Sugar Frenzy [Closed]

It was a bit confusing. So, they were not really Demon Namekians? It was some kind of fan-made club or something? It was a bit challenging indeed to understand but mostly because even the Namekian did not seem capable of saying much, even. Did he just not want to or was there perhaps some kind of isolated clan on this Namek? Maybe he had to take a look, someday at least.

“That is… both odd and interesting all the same, I admit. I will not have prejudices, as honestly you are the first of your kind I ever meet in all these years.”

The Saiyan continued with his questions and answers and soon enough even the green man confirmed that he was not there for the tournament, but all the same he had some kind of similar pattern to Nasu’s; he was there for strong people. Nasu, as well, both for official purposes and so he could try and get a good bout or two. He hummed slightly, if they had not been productive, he wondered just how strong this guy was himself.

“I am sorry to hear that. But you have been to Plant before? Then perhaps we must have missed you by chance. We departed the day we heard about the tournament, truth be told.”

What put Nasu up to the challenge against the Saiyans? Again, just like many others, that was quite a question. One even the Saiyan himself was somewhat troubled to ask, why? It was odd, but there were so many reasons and causes that had led him this way thus far that it was hard putting it down into words at that point.

It was like when you’d gone down a path and yet you had gone so deep into it, even something like making sense of the past was complicated. But that was not exactly his issue, it was how he felt but rather there was a mix of feelings in his very reasons that made it all the hardest to put it down.

“Well.”

The man took a brief moment to consider how well he could put it down to a stranger, but it did not seem like he would have had to explain everything as the Namekian had already been to Plant, apparently. So Nasu decided to give a concise and complete answer, or at least one that was as understandable as possible.

“Because it is the right thing to do. The Tuffles are the natives of that planet and while some of them are strong, the Saiyans have a power given to them at birth and that is the one of the Great Ape.”

Nasu frowned slightly, he knew very well he also had that power but thankfully he knew better than to use it. His very tail wagged slightly as he was still sitting on his golden cloud.

“In a few words, I do not have any connection to those people. Therefore I do not care if they are Saiyans like I am. I will fight for what I believe is right. And that is about it. I hope that we may restore the image of my species one day, but that is a far away dream. I recognize such a problem myself.”

He did not blame the Namekian when he did not seem to really interest himself with his dream or really the chance itself that Saiyans could be turned away from their misdeeds one day. He was sure that was the general opinion of most out there, but Nasu held the dream close to him nevertheless. He knew he was not going to possibly make it a reality even in his lifetime, but if anything, he felt that the smallest honorable action could one day influence others, as well.

“I know what you are talking about.”

The man simply confirmed, without adding much more even: for it was unneeded, he knew he probably was not going to listen to him arguing back that it was not all so lost. But surely the Saiyan could imagine the rest of his species took great pride in their ruthless work, but that did not halt, stop or change his mind nevertheless.

“That is also a reason I have decided to ally myself with the Tuffles. There is no chance one will just be able to talk the Saiyans into withdrawing or changing, they will not do it. They must be defeated, only at their lowest point they will open their minds to other ways and paths. Or so do I believe, at least. This is sadly, only a distant dream of mine that I hope may one day be realized.”

And even now the man realized Shakuhachi had to have had some kind of negative perspective on either his species or something else entirely, he was not quite sure if he had to be honest but one thing was for certain: there was no need for Nasu to really overthink things. Or well, when it came to his questions at least he did not feel like he really had to strain his brains similarly to when he had to deal with Azoth’s pacifist philosophy but instead he decided to just be honest about his nature.

“Truth be told. There is no way I could ever plan something like that three or four steps ahead outside of a fight. I am a Saiyan to begin with, but of course that does not mean all I care for is the battle that is ahead of us. But simply enough, I can not guarantee you that the Saiyans will be at peace after a possible defeat. But what I can guarantee you is that I will be there to defend those who can not when the strong use their strength to gloat over the weak.”

Even using a word such as weak was somewhat of a double-edged sword to Nasu, he did not mean to call the Tuffles weak but of course it was only natural that they had trouble against the Saiyans given their gruesome transformation. Not only that, but he also figured out that if anything could stand toe-to-toe against one of those warriors it was another Saiyan, of course.

“In a sense. I will give my life to always doing what I believe into, in the moment that it happens. I am no politician and whatnot, so I can not offer you a plan for the Saiyans’ future. My mere dream is that my deeds may one day inspire other Saiyans after me to follow my example and do the right thing. I do not believe in good or evil, therefore I will give my own species a chance when the time comes for them to be redeemed. But as things are right now I must stand against them or I would regret it my whole life.”

Nasu had a strict sense of honor: he had to do his duty and follow his ethics, his morals and ideals. It was all about his integrity that was made of several elements, they created a force within him that drove the man to keep fighting. However, before too, there was a period where he ignored and disregarded such until a certain Tuffle helped him snap out of it.

“But if you want my honest opinion — they will not stay on Plant after a defeat. There is no way their pride would let that slide, if you ask me, they would go off to other worlds. They would probably try and conquer those, too, unless something changed within them after the war on Plant. That is why I say it is useless to really try and think of a way to cage away their status as a menace, that will only earn more hatred from them. One must be able to make them see life is so much more than what they see, right now.”

Was Nasu that much un-Saiyan like? In a way he was not impressed really, for he knew the difference the Namekian talked about was the way other Saiyans were considered brutes and for the most part, really nothing that was right and fair could come out from them but the man had a different opinion, of course: he did not believe in either good or evil, there were simply people who had the heart to do the right thing and those who did not.

That did not put redemption beneath the possibilities of the man, but even so perhaps not everyone could consider Saiyans to even be redeemable to begin with: he knew many Tuffles did not, as well.

“I will surely take that as a compliment. But for me it is not a matter of chances or whatnot, neither am I a pacifist. I know this is not winnable with good manners, a cup of tea and peace overall. I am positive there will be deaths, but if I can help it I will avoid as many as possible. But killing is not beneath me should I be faced with a tough choice.”

He knew very well what Shakuhachi talked about. Maybe it would not be that easy to really kill his own brethren, but neither did Nasu dismiss the chance at all in his mind. He knew that if he had to do it for the sake of the victims, he would have done what was needed. But he had no intent on going on a Saiyan genocide, and even if somebody did, he would set his mind on stopping them.

“Even if they will come for Namek or another planet I will not turn my attention away from them or others. I am not a soldier of the Tuffle Army, after all. I will help those who need it, so you may count on me yourself. But of course, it would be nice if I am truly right.”

Again, sadly he knew that was only a dream. In a way, but it was good having dreams. After a time in his life where he did not care about the slightest thing, lately he believed he had once more discovered the need to dream and desire were very important to a man.

The very man had an interesting conversation that far, of course. But even the Namekian decided that it was time to leave, perhaps the day had been long enough. After all they did stop the Majin, in one way or the other and slowly but surely he wondered if he had not made a new friend by now. The green man was by no means the friendliest person he had met that far but he looked like a specimen of his species that he could reason with, in equal and understandable terms. Therefore, he believed there was nothing more to be said himself.

The two had probably gotten their point across, albeit of course Nasu did not really know this stranger besides the fact that he seemed to be on the righteous side of the spectrum. All in all, he guessed he could indeed leave things at that. Therefore, the man also decided to raise his hand in a respectful greeting.

“I suppose I will be there soon, again. As soon as the tournament is over, there is plenty of work to do on Plant after all. We can not let ourselves be on this planet for too long.”

The Saiyan did not talk in great details about what he was talking about but of course the man meant the very need that he wished to support Cheri on her campaign as both leader of the Tuffles and the fact that they had left the terrain without guard. He did not think the Tuffles were untrustworthy but he rarely saw anything like Cheri amongst their soldiers, plus even the Saiyan could have been a little bit of help. However, he did need to grow stronger. He surely had to figure that much out, but still for now he believed this was good enough.

His golden cloud picked up the pace and took a quick boost up into the skies, flying far away for Nasu to explore what other wonders this Earth had to offer.
