Kylar, and since they were one now, Aethos as well, stepped, dripping wet from the last of tiny portions of sea that led to the main land. With the joining Kylar found himself utterly unable to use his old powers, probably a combination of the fact that the demon inside skewing his inner power and the fact that he had not accessed his Ki in, apparently, almost a hundred and fifty years.

“Excellent, just as I expected.” Aethos’ voice echoed in the Saiyan’s head. ”Follow my instructions and I can show you how to begin to tap in to our full power.” Frustrated, but thinking that the Demon had as much to lose as Kylar if anything happened to him. Struggling along with unused muscles, the hybrid warrior began to work his way in the direction that the voice inside him guided him.

Walking for what seemed like days, alternating who was in control of the shared body so that the other could get mental rest, if not physical, Kylar eventually snapped out of the trance-like state that seemed to be a substitute for sleep, regaining control of his body outside a cave. But it was unlike any of the countless others that they passed, this one was clearly the dwelling of someone, with torches leading down the entrance, and what smelled like food emanating from deep within it. ”This where we wanted to be?” Kylar asked his companion. Feeling the mental equivalent of a nod, the warrior blew out a sigh. ”Hey! Hello! Anyone home?”

Rustling and breathing got louder and louder as a form, silhouetted against a bright light inside the cave, came a giant Namekian. The man’s green skin had darkened with age, his face showed the wrinkles of a seasoned Elder. ”Ah. Aethos.” The Namekian said, his voice neutral, and Kylar could not draw any feelings from the way the man spoke. ”I did not expect to meet you again until I passed to the afterlife.”

Kylar felt himself forced into the back of his own mind as Aethos took over. “You taught me much, Rafe. I told you when I returned I would pay my respect to you in person.”

The Namekian smiled. ”Always eloquent, Aethos. But that is not all I have to teach you.” With a wave, Rafe beckoned them inside. Aethos followed, a glimmer in his eye that foretold the excitement to come.

Deep within the cave system that Rafe called his home, the Namekian led the Hybrid fighter to a type of kitchen, though the smells that came from the herbs and packages along the walls were not savory to say the least. Their Namekian host gestured for them to sit down, and took a seat opposite the offered chair. ”So, Aethos, tell me of this vessel. How exactly did you two meet? And if you’d let him tell me a bit about himself, that would be excellent.”

The hybrid nodded slowly before speaking. “I first scryed him while he was alive. His body was... uniquely developed for what my kind require to inhabit, I’m sure you’ve noticed.” Aethos said, and the Namekian nodded his understanding, though neither explained it to Kylar who sat in his own mind, confused. ”After he died, I spent decades tracking him through the afterlife, until I could summon the power to pull him from the soul stream and into my domain.”

Rafe continued nodding, then stood silently, beginning to gather herbs and jars onto the table. Aethos say in silence, watching the Namekian work, while Kylar asked him questions inside his mind. What is he doing? Making some sort of potion?

A smirk broke through Aethos’ normally serious exterior. Something like that. Knowing Rafe he’s going to do something to bring us together. Somehow. The demon thought back. Rafe busied himself mixing some of the ingredients with a mortar and pestle, crushing aromatic herbs together before finally mixing in a bubbling liquid from the cauldron.

”Alright, Aethos. Let this Kylar talk to me.” Rafe spoke finally, the mixture spending time bubbling over the fire in a pot. The hybrid’s eyes faded from red to black, then brightened back to the blue that Kylar had always had. The Namekian smiled, noticing the effect. ”Looks like you two weren’t joined as seamlessly as Aethos would have liked.” Before Kylar could answer, the green-skinned man spoke again, ”Don’t worry, I can help you fix that. So, how about you tell me a little bit about yourself?”

Kylar took a deep breath and thought back. He had a regular childhood, by Saiyan standards at least, but he knew that they wasn’t how the Namekian’s raised their kids. He had no idea what to say, or what Rafe wanted to hear. ”I... I don’t really know where to start.”

”Just... start at the beginning then.”

It took a while, but Kylar finally finished summing up his life for the Namekian, including his time in the Saiyan military, though the Namekian did not seem particularly happy to hear those parts. It seemed that the alien was not fond of the Saiyan race, or at least not those in the military; though Kylar thought that someone who was on first name basis with an ancient demon was not someone Kylar would have thought would judge him.

”Don’t lump me in with everyone else of my kind. We’re as different as night and day, some of us.” Aethos said in Kylar’s mind. It was true, the Saiyan mentally apologized to his partner.

“That’s pretty much it. After that apparently I was dead for some time before Aethos... extracted me.” Kylar finished, knowing that Rafe knew the rest of the story, probably better than Kylar himself did.

The Namekian nodded, pouring some of the foul smelling mixture he had bubbling into a goblet and handing it to Kylar. “Drink all of this, it will help you two bond. Without bonding you won’t be able to find your true powers.” Rafe handed the mixture over, watching as the Saiyan sniffed at it experimentally. “All of it, otherwise you won’t join fully.”

Kylar nodded, he had done a lot of morally, physically, and mentally tough things in his short life, drinking a concoction given to him by some sort of... shaman inside a cave would be nothing. “To health, happiness and friendship, I guess.” The hybrid said, raising the glass to the sky then beginning to down it as quickly as possible.

From the moment the liquid touched his lips an icy chill spread throughout his whole body. Shivering as he finished the goblet, Kylar set it down on the table. ”That wasn’t too-“ He started, then was cut off by an urge to retch from the feeling in his stomach. A churning, noxious feeling spread from his stomach, coming in waves over his body, spreading from his stomach to the tips of his fingers. With the feeling came a vile aftertaste that almost made Kylar lose his lunch as he slipped off the chair, suddenly unable to hold himself up.

Rafe made shushing noises, trying to calm the wild-eyed Saiyan. ”Just relax into it, you’ll be fine. This is all normal.” But Kylar didn’t hear the last sentence, his eyes fading into an unfocused state, staring forward unblinking. Rafe made him as comfortable as possible, knowing that this trip could be tough for someone.

Kylar opened his eyes, blinking hard against the sudden light as if he had never seen the light before. Looking around, the hybrid’s eyes adjusted to the reddish light that everything had taken. Across a short distance was a tall man, easily eight feet tall, staring forward. As Kylar walked towards him, he noticed two small curved horns on the beings forehead, causing him to stop suddenly. ”Aethos?!” He exclaimed, staring at the radiating power of the demon in its true form. ”That you? Holy, you’re huge.” Kylar said, then realized how stupid he must have sounded.

Aethos just smiled. ”Hello Kylar. Welcome to... well, your mind.” Gesturing around, Aethos continued. ”This is where we are when we aren’t in control of this body. I thought you might like to see me how I truly am.” The demon raised his arms to show himself off, spinning around slowly. ”Impressive, no?” He said with a smile.

Kylar’s eyebrows furrowed, portraying his confusion at the situation. How was he in his own mind? ”Sure, very impressive. What exactly is going on here? What are we doing?” He asked, wondering what exactly the game Rafe and Aethos were playing was, trapping him in his mind.

Aethos sighed. ”We’re here to bond, Kylar. We need to, otherwise your body is going to reject my magic, and that would not be good for you, and it would be terrible for me.” Kylar opened his mouth to ask why, when Aethos cut him off with a wave of his hand. “I’ll answer your questions in the explaination, most likely. I need to know that I can trust you. We’re going to become One, or as close as my power will let us. It is... very dangerous for a Demon to do it, but only to themselves. If my host isn’t willing, and I can’t coerce you, I’ll be rejected, and wiped from existence.”

At that moment, Aethos’ eyes looked more vulnerable than Kylar would ever have guessed they could be after seeing them glowing in the dark in Hell. He nodded solemnly. “I will, I want to live and that means you must also.”

Aethos smiled, bringing his hands together infront of himself, as a ball of energy grew between his palms. “Thank you, Kylar. You are quite the exceptional being, you know.”

The energy ball grew more and more dense, the light becoming concentrated and dark, somehow still glowing despite turning from white to yellow, phasing through the rainbow to a deep purple. Kylar’s eyes drawn to it in an unnatural way, he could barely tear his vision from it. When he did, the Saiyan warrior looked at Aethos, the Demon seemed different. Then it hit him suddenly.

“Holy smokes.” He breathed out. And quite literally. Aethos’ body was ... vaporizing was the only way he could think of to describe it. The Demon’s body was turning into his power directly, amazingly.

“Kylar.” Aethos said as the power ball turned glowing red, absorbing the mass of Aethos’ body faster and faster. “We need you to concentrate on the ball. Pour your power into it, as much as you can. When I disappear.” The Demon’s voice cracked, as if he was being tortured. Kylar realized how hard this must be for his partner. “You need to pour power into it, then draw it into yourself. It will do the rest of it itself. Do you understand?”

Kylar nodded, his face shocked still. He reached within himself, and pushed some of his energy outwards, focusing it on the ball in front of the quickly fading Demon. A blue trail connected the ball to Kylar. As it connected, a look of great relief suddenly passed across the face of the Demon. In a burst, the being vaporized immediately, the ball wavering slightly as it grew.

With some focus, Kylar was able to pull the power towards him. The ball floated forwards slowly, turning back into the purple color it was originally. Reaching out to touch it, Kylar felt a rush of energy that brought him to his knees. Coughing he opened his eyes as he felt a power explode within himself.

When he opened his eyes, Kylar was suddenly back in the cave of Rafe, eyes bright and alert, though he was still on his knees. “Ah, back are you?” Rafe asked with a smile, “Everything alright? You both still here?”

Kylar looked up, his amethyst eyes locking with Rafe’s, the new Hybrid nodded. “We are.” He answered, his voice a mix of Aethos’ rumbling and Kylar’s own lighter tone. It just felt right to refer to himself as a we now, rather than a singular person. Aethos was still in him, but he was also a part of him, somehow existing both on his own and as a part of Kylar. “This... this is amazing. We cannot thank you enough for your help.”

Rafe smiled, “Always nice to help a friend.” The Namekian said, “A trust I no longer owe you any favors? I hope we can once again be equals.”

Kylar smiled as he rose to his feet, extending his hand to shake with the Namekian. “Of course, old friend. One day you will have to join us.”

Accepting the offered hand, Rafe led the Hybrid outside. “I have the feeling I haven’t seen the last of you two. You are welcome back any time. Maybe we can continue our old rivalry even.”

Kylar smiled, shaking his head. “Not to sound full of ourself, but we do not think that you would stand much of a chance. It is amazing what we will be able to do soon, when we get used to this power.” With a hearty wave, the warrior shot away from the Namekian, making a b-line towards where he knew Guru was. Moving so fast that his feet rarely touched the ground, Kylar’s newfound power was... exhilarating. And beginning to go to his head, as well, having never felt so powerful.

“This is only the beginning friend. Just wait until your body can handle more.” Aethos thought, and the Hybrid’s smile widened, he was now truly a force to be reckoned with.
