Private/Closed Dragon Ball Final Blow

[SS-I Never]

Though Antarchy had on a smile as the tour proceeded, he couldn't help but feel sick inside. What was that image that popped up in his head? Why was he imagining drowning Son Goku of all people? Why was he even imagining of drowning someone in the first place!?

He then shook his head, trying to ignore what had just occured, amd stared at the area they were currently in. It was a volcano area, and Antarchy had to admit it looked really epic. Though, was it really safe to have a tournament match in this area?

Then, suddenly, one of the volcanos erupted. This caused Antarchy to back away in a terrified manner, but then suddenly more and more volcanos started erupting. Suddenly, the entire area turned into a hellish landscape. The skys were black, and the only thing to be seen were flames erupting from the earth. Antarchy kept looking around to see where Sallot was, but she didn't see anybody. Well, he did see someone, but he couldn't make out the face. All he could see was a yellow aura. But before he could process anything else, the figure yelled out, "WATCH OUT!!!" Antarchy then turned back to see two ki-slicers aimed directly at him.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Antarchy exclaimed before the ki-slicers made impact, but then Antarchy noticed they were gone. But that wasn't it, everything seemed to be back to normal and everyone was where they usually were. Antarchy just had a dazed and confused look on his face.

Grace looked at Antarchy with a shocked expression. "Are you alright?" she asked, turning towards her. "The volcanoes aren't going to erupt - their next eruption is several months from now. But if you really feel uncomfortable around here, we can leave for the next area."

 

[SS-I Never]

Antarchy was breathing heavily. Another vision? What was going on with him today? He looked extremely dazed and worried as he was pale and grabbed his chest.

"No, I don't think that is necessary," Antarchy responded to Grace, "I think I just want to be in my room. I think I've had enough touring for today. Is there anyone who can escort me?"

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Wu should be able to." Grace replied. "This place hasn't changed its layout since he last studied here, so he should be able to guide you to the guest rooms. ...what's your gender, if you don't mind me asking? It's necessary for determining which room you should stay in. We've only got one more arena left to visit - the peninsula - so I'm sure your fellows will be able to catch you up on what you missed."

 

[SS-I Never]

Antarchy was quite shocked when Grace asked him his gender. Was it not obvious? Was it because of his voice? His shape? Surely it had to be something about him. He thought Grace was a female, but he wouldn't want to assume, otherwise he'd be a hypocrite.

"Umm...I'm a male," Antarchy responded to the Earthling's question.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Right, thanks." Grace said. "Wasn't entirely sure because it doesn't look like you have... y'know." Grace then turned to Wu. "The male guest dormitories are where the old store room was. We got a bigger, better one so now we use that for guests. I'm sure you remember it."

 

[Godjacob]

Wu had been about to voice a complaint over being the guy to show people to their rooms, but between Antarchy's outburst combined with Iris look caused Wu to understand what he needed to do.

"Alright, if the place hasn't changed that much, I know where to go. Follow me." Wu said as he began to lead Antarchy in the direction of the male guest dormitories. During this, Iris exchanged a look of concern towards Antarchy.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Iris asked, naturally worried given how bizarre these moments from him had been.

 

[SS-I Never]

Antarchy had been following the Earthling, Wu, when his floating cat companion had asked Antarchy if he was okay. Antarchy just let out a small smile, and responded, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some rest is all."

Though, Antarchy really wasn't fine. He had no idea what to make of the visions he had, not to mention what the meanings were behind them. He just...he just felt like he really did need some rest.

 

[jade421]

Sallot watched with concern as Antarchy had another freak out before he requested to go to his room to get some rest. Sallot had been unsure of what to do, but decided to trust that Antarchy would be okay and she felt it'd be rude to deny Grace the chance to complete the tour.

"I'd like to continue the tour But d-do you think he'll be okay?" Sallot asked Grace, hoping that she'd give her some reassurance if nothing else.

 

[Godjacob]

"Okay, if you say so. Just let me know if you need anything. I'm always here to help you with anything." Iris offered, as in the back of her mind she knew Antarchy had been lying. Iris had quite the experience spotting a lie; usually with Wu when he got into fights and downplayed how hurt he was. Iris felt Antarchy was doing the same, trying to say he was okay when he was not. But Iris knew better that pestering with Antarchy when she barley knew him would only cause him to push any help away. So Iris would pretend she believed him and offer general aid.

Wu soon led Antarchy towards the male guest dormitories. Wu pointed out an open room the was spacey enough to comfortable fit 2-3 people before he turned to the Acrosian.

"Here, take any room you'd like. I'll probably have to find one myself given the old man probably rented out my room." Wu explained to Antarchy.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"He should be..." Grace said to Sallot. "Anyways, let's move onto the final location." Grace led the other half of the group onward, leading them across an old wooden bridge. Crossing the bridge, they arrived at the small tropical island. "This island is the last of the battle locations, and is probably the most diverse and specialized of them all. You've got all the elements available to you here - water, air, the earth of the ground and fire from setting branches ablaze."

 

[jade421]

"Wow..." Sallot said in clear amazement, an entire island. On top of everything else this dojo seemed like a miracle land more than anything else. And Sallot knew she just had to know more about it as she faced Grace.

"How, how did you master find this place?" Sallot asked Grace.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Master Talon used to be a wandering explorer." Grace explained. "He's traveled all around, finding incredible sights and meeting incredible people. I hear he decided to set up shop here, what, twenty-two years ago? Rirobo and I haven't been here for as long as the Owl School has been here, but we are some of its oldest members. Rirobo and I have helped Master Talon explore the local area and learn how things work. Its beauty, its danger..."

 

[jade421]

"Oh, I see! That sounds amazing." Sallot said with clear wonder, to travel the world and see those wonderful sights. To discover a place like this, that had to be an adventure in it of itself.

Though the mention of them being older students caused Sallot to think. That guy with the cat seemed to know them, and based on the banter between him and Rirobo they seemed to have a history. And Sallot wanted to know more of it.

"Say, that guy. Wu I think his name was, he seems to know you and Rirobo and vice-verse. Mind telling me a bit about how you know each other, he doesn't appear to be a student here." Sallot asked of Grace, as a newcomer of the universe she had naturally been curious over this as she was clueless over their history.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"We... let's head back to the dojo." Grace said, leading the way to the dorms. "...Wu was the third of our old trio. It used to be Rirobo, Wu and me. We trained together, laughed together, fought together... until one day, he just left. Abandoned everything. Rirobo still hasn't forgiven him for just abandoning us and his training..."

 

[jade421]

Sallot listened to Grace as she explained her history with this Wu and frowned. So he just up and left the two, that seemed rude to put i kind though in Wu's defense she had no way to know why he left so she had not been in position to make a judgement call.

"I see. Did...did this Wu ever explain why he left?" Sallot asked Grace, as Sallot felt some guilt asking this question as clearly that had been a hard day for her and Rirobo but she needed to know the context behind his decision.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"We... we hadn't seen or heard from him since then." Grace replied. "Personally I'm happy to see him back, but Rirobo... I don't know if they'll go back to how they were before. After Wu left, Rirobo... he changed a bit, I guess. I suppose that's bound to happen when someone from a tight-knit group of friends up and leaves without any explanation."

 

[jade421]

Sallot nodded at this information. Appears as if Wu left them out of thin air, though Grace had been willing to forgive him wile Rirobo had not. Sallot would need to know why Wu left before she passed judgement, though her opinion on him was not so high as it just seemed he left his friends hanging.

"I see, well I hope you three can mend that fence." Sallot said to Grace, and she meant that.

 

[SS-I Never]

Antarchy nodded at the Earthling, Wu, and said, "Thank you. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble with my sudden outburst. I don't want to ruin the tour for you two, so you both should head back. I'll be fine on my own."

Antarchy then entered one of rooms and laid himself upon one of the beds. He then grabbed the pillow on his bed, shoved his face into it, and groaned. He then let go of the pillow, and looked at the cieling of his room.

What the hell were those visions!? I've never had them before. None of this has been happening to me since....

"Since I've arrived on Earth," Antarchy muttered as he came to the sudden realization. Could it really be that the place of the multiverse's greatest hero, Son Goku, could do this to him? Could this planet be....cursed? No, it couldn't be. None of the visions he had were from Earth, but instead a different planet altogether that just looked similar to Earth.

Antarchy felt frusturated just thinking about it, so he then decided to rest and sleep. Maybe he could figure out more about it later.

 

[Godjacob]

Wu and Iris would respect Antarchy's wishes as they soon left the room and began to make their way back to Grace and the others she had been giving a tour to. All the while Wu seemed deep in thought over something, which had not gone unnoticed to Iris.

"Something troubling you?" Iris asked as Wu glanced at his companion before he let out a sigh.

"Just, clearly Riro is still resentful over my...abrupt departure. Wonder if Grace is resentful to. Master or others as well. Wouldn't be shock if my old room got rented out by this point." Wu explained as Iris frowned over this. That day had been one of the hardest in her memory as leaving this place and all their friends.

"Do you have any regrets over it?" Iris asked, as Wu remained silent and avoided eye contact before he gave an answer.

"No, I know what I did was right. It's what I needed to do. Just curious how long that will be held over my head over for is all..."
