The dark storm that rolled through the horizon lulled the Prince to sleep. Drifting further into the astral realm as his mind fell into that deep sleep the storm continued to grow. Sounds of crashing waves and booming drums of the thunder's call carried over into his dreams.
Soon enough the skies were brightened by the emergence of lightning. Blue sparks kissed the gray skies and summoned light down to the wet fields below. Vegeta stood there, rain now beating against his raven black locks, in silence. His eyes lifted as slowly the manifestation of an individual came to fruition.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" He said with a sly grin.
Don — 09/10/2021
He had been given a gift by a old coot on Kelioux. Both him and his sister rather. It was a peculiar thing, a gemstone that was said to allow his mind to travel into a different realm. Interested, he took one for himself.
Just as sure as the tides did the man's body manifest in a different realm. Fields of grass were pelted with rain overhead. The overcast of gray skies was a murky sight to behold, and the thunder that rumbled from above sounded like fine china crashing onto the ground.
There, he stood face to face with a raven haired individual with a sly grin.
His scanners failed to picked up any pertinent information on him. This man was the Prince of an Empire, but that didn't interest him in the least.
"I was going to ask the same thing," His eyes flashed with amusement, his grin matched the man's own. "Is this your kingdom?"
Balial — 09/10/2021
"Far from it," the prince said with a scowl. "I take it it you haven't been to Planet Vegeta nor the cities on it?" Vegeta calmly asked.
It was clear for two simple reasons. First, if the man knew this was the astral realm than it was evident that it must have been created by the memory of Vegeta. Second, if it were a memory and this was meant to be Planet Vegeta- it was all wrong. There were hardly any plants on the planet, let alone rain to grace the dry lands around the main city of Sadala.
Of course there was on more thing that the man could have been asking about. "Or do you mean Calyx?" It would be rather curious if the man knew of Vegeta's planet- his kingdom. Similar to Earth in many ways, but still.... Curious. "I haven't gotten your name yet. Who are you now? I assume you know who I am."
Don — 09/10/2021
"Planet Vegeta?" The raven haired Android cross referenced the name with his database. His eyes flashed as images came in spurts. It was a metropolis ruled by a race known as Saiyans. A war mongering race of people with vast influence and power that was virtually unrivaled.
Or so they say.
"Calyx?" He mouthed those words and his supercomputer once again went to work. Information on such a place was sparse at best.
"You're Prince Vegeta," He spoke as if it bore any significance to him. "I'm Lapis. Tell me 'Prince', were you born to rule? Or did you usurp the crown?"
Balial — 09/10/2021
"You're beginning to bore me." Said Vegeta as he folded his arms over his chest. "What stone have you been hiding under to know my name but not the history of the great Saiyan Empire?" Lightning struck and danced across the skies as the rain continued to beat down on the two raven haired men.
"Tell me boy, what is your purpose here?"
Don — 09/10/2021
When the lightning struck, the trappings of a smile became etched on Lapis's lips. His azure eyes shone through the veil of shadows.
"I'll let you in on a little secret," He took a step forward. His boots crunched in the rainfall.
"My purpose is to kill all life." His smile remained as if he was amused by the concept of his design. "I was programmed that way, and I have a partner in crime as well. Though, my methods to achieve my goals are more so up to me than my creator." For whatever reason Lapis went on to elaborate on the last fact. Perhaps he didn't want to come off as being a slave to his programming.
"But I have no interest in fighting you, not here. I like to learn new things. Unless you'd like to demonstrate your skills to me...?" Lapis let his question linger in the air as he rolled up one of his sleeves.
Balial — 09/10/2021
"Kill all life?" Vegeta said with a lingering sense of amusement. "Can't say I am opposed to the love for battle. Tell me something Lapis, how strong are you? Are your words able to be assisted by power- or are you just another person that can't live up to the words you spew?"
Laughing into the night sky Vegeta lifted his hand to his head. He smiled and shook his head, finish off the chuckle by gazing back into Lapis' sapphire orbs. "Well then, I take it your an android as well, Earth I take it?"
Don — 09/10/2021
Lapis's smile lingered while the Prince roared with laughter. "I like to let my actions do the talking," He explained. Though when he used his scouter to sense Vegeta's power he knew that odds were that he would be somewhat outmatched. However, power alone wasn't everything.
"Correct," Lapis clapped his hands together. "Quite perceptive of you," He complimented the Prince.
"I had heard of another batch of machines that terrorized the galaxy once upon a time. Unfortunately I have no association with them," He clarified. They were the Steel Legion, and if he encountered a model he'd have to destroy it since they were as far as he knew, slaves to their programming.
Balial — 09/10/2021
"Ah, Steel Legion," Vegeta said with a hum, tapping his foot against the floor. "I remember that bunch of scrap metal. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me you're not associated with them. After all, you look like someone took their time in crafting you."
he let out a sigh, closing his eyes for a moment before falling back into the ground with a loud splash. "So, what can I do for you?" Vegeta said passively, eager for something to come from their recent encounter. "You don't seem to wish to fight. But you desire to learn, so what can I offer a being such as yourself?"
Don — 09/10/2021
Lapis took what the Prince said as the compliment that it seemed to be, though the raven haired boy held little love or care for his creator in any way.
Lapis contemplated the Prince's words for a moment. He placed his hand to his chin in thought as the rain continued to beat down on him overhead. "Once upon a time your people conquered Earth, correct? What if you were to do so again? I could use the cover of War to have some fun and trim down the population, and you could have Earth once again."
Balial — 09/10/2021
"Once upon a time? I am afraid you are missing some information, boy." The Prince said shaking his head. "The Saiyans are still occupying the moon base, Luna." The Prince thought about it and sighed. "I fact I disagree with the whole thing- after all we don't even have our own home conquered. Something that I intend to change quite soon."
Lifting his gloved hand he clenched his fist tightly sending small droplets of rain dancing off from his palm. "I will need to pull off the men on Luna, but perhaps you could assist as the Saiyans pull out- possibly we could "trim" the population down as we leave that way we can maintain our position on Luna?"
Don — 09/10/2021
"Intriguing," was all that Lapis could say. It seemed that his database had incomplete information. It took little time for it to update the discrepancy. So, the moon base Luna was occupied by the Saiyan Empire...yet their own home had yet to be conquered.
"That sounds fun," His smirk grew wider. "Any other conquests I should know about?"
Balial — 09/10/2021
"Not for now," said the prince as nonchalant as possible. "After all, this one is an obvious one- which I might add is the only reason I am revealing it to you."
Looking over to the man he grew rather curious on the programming that he had mentioned, but instead of outright asking, the Prince took a smoother approach. "What about war interests you, Lapis?" Vegeta asked simply. "Is it the death? Or are there other plans in your programming?"
Don — 09/10/2021
"Understood. We all have our roles to play," Lapis said sagely. When asked what made war so interesting to him the android couldn't help but grow grin.
"Death and destruction are a bonus," He began to say. "But this is simply a game, and I prefer to play it in a way that amuses me the most."
"Plans change, but my programming remains the same."
Balial — 09/11/2021
"I see," Vegeta began to to tap his right index finger on his left forearm as he continued the conversation. "Well then, I guess I will have to contact you when the time arrives."
With a sigh he stood. "I think it is time for me take my leave. Anything else I can help you with?"
Don — 09/11/2021
Lapis nodded when Vegeta mentioned that he'll contact him when the time was right. With a wave the raven haired boy would start to take his leave, "That would be all, Prince," He flashed a grin and faded into obscurity.
