Chapter 11: The Final Interlude

A few days have passed since Krae'Nakh's episode and Nana's arrival.

Sato was offered a place at the inn but declined and, instead, chose to remain on the beach, but he does pop in occasionally in the interest of gathering information that can be used to help humans accept dicloni as sentient beings with rights.

He speaks to Lucy in between her sparring sessions with Krae'Nakh, of which Nana is now a member, and has learned about her past, a past that Krae'Nakh overheard, and would have sympathized with, if sympathy were saiyan-like.

And some time ago, Lucy had snuck off with Sato's handgun, found Kouta alone, and reminded him of their past.

She then placed the weapon in his hand and kneeled before him in acceptance of her fate, but to her shock, Kouta forgave her.

She had not once been forgiven, and she had never been forgiving, she didn't know how to respond except to start crying.

Kouta hugged her in an attempt to comfort her, and when she recovered, she had reverted back to Nyu.

Kouta had told no one of the incident, and Krae'Nakh didn't tell him that he was in wrong place at the right time and heard everything.

The day had started off pretty normally, the inn's residents did their daily chores, Krae'Nakh's being shark fishing for his extra food, there was no need to worry about fridge space, Krae'Nakh kept them in his room until he ate them, they never lasted long enough to rot.

After that, Mayu would take Wanta for a walk, Kouta and Yuka would go to their school, and the others went to the graveyard for training.

Lucy had improved to the point that Krae'Nakh suggested her not using her vectors so that she could get a feel for fighting without them, her power level was now 350, the late comer Nana had built up to 263, but Krae'Nakh retained the lead with 408.

After Lucy had finished her match, she sat down to take a break, and Sato offered her a bottle of water.

She accepted it a with a smile and a "thank you", she may not like him as much as Kouta, but she has learned to consider him a friend, especially after she was finally able to apologize to Kouta.

The human and diclonius laughed and talked, blissfully unaware of their fomer fates (see ya forth wall) as Nana and Krae'Nakh took their stances.

Nana looked determined while Krae'Nakh looked mildly amused, in a flash they charged each other and... Krae'Nakh sent Nana flying with one punch.

Confused at the fact that she was better than that, even during their first battle, Krae'Nakh's confusion doubled when she got to her feet and looked outward with the fear of death on her face.

Krae'Nakh then noticed that Lucy had reacted the same way, facing the same direction. "N-no way..." was all she muttered.

Krae'Nakh turned where they were facing, activated his scouter... and understood everything.

846. That was the power level approaching them, at first Krae'Nakh thought of her, but she had a much higher power level, could it be another saiyan, how would they end up on this planet, the only ones assigned to its conquest were his crew, and they were dead.

"You stay here." Krae'Nakh addressed the present company. "You may stronger than you were, but you would only get my way, I'll figure it out."

And with that, Krae'Nakh shot off. His best guess was Frieza sent a weaker warrior to kill him, but he didn't dismiss the possibility of a stronger diclonius, either way, if they were too powerful to destroy outright, he draw it out till nightfall, one of the first things he did when he settled down was ask Yuka which day that would happen.

Author's note Sorry for the shorty, but as I said before, I'm trying to wrap it up.

And to anyone who's a fellow fan of both worlds, don't spoil it, yes we know what the power level is, yes we know that is, let those are not in know enjoy the surprise.
