Ruins of Reflection City
Spina sharpened his glare, anticipating Bernkastel’s answer. They seldom spoke to each other in such manner, hence the social awkwardness between the two. Even though Zenta and Gogeta were present, it felt like Spina and Bernkastel were standing alone, exchanging brief sentiments to each other.
Towering over the Witch, the old Saiyan’s eyebrows shot up at her answer. Someone had declared themselves not just a friend—but as a rival as well. Nobody had ever realistically done so in his lifetime. Sure, there were plenty of foes that was eager to fight him for their own reasons, but not to the point that a rivalry was born out of it. It was an unpleasant feeling because the old Saiyan didn’t know how to react at first. After letting the thoughts simmer on for a bit, Spina responded by crouching down to her level and gently pressed his forehead against hers.
“Hmph. Fine.” Spina said after a moment. “Let’s break past our limits together, whether in battle or moments like this.” Giving off a rare, genuine smile. His left arm went limp, slipping out of Bernkastel’s hand after she loosen her grip on it. “I’ll be waiting for our battle someday.” The seething hatred was no longer present on Spina’s face, and the intense aura that weigh down Bernkastel ceased. There was still uneasiness with Spina regarding the others; primarily Brachi, Bara, Jize, Vegetto and the lesser extent, Gogeta. Not out of fear, but the sole lack of empathy towards them due to their roles thus far. That aside, Spina nodded. “Let’s see if that Nia person had any critical information we need.”
The strange monster was taken aback from Spina’s switch. Again, he looked around until he spotted the strange woman near Bernkastel; the latter revealing herself to the monster only, aside from Bernkastel. “Guardian… so, it was you. I thought you have no interest in this game. Don’t you have a tree to look after?”
“It passes the time, Brutality. Even I like a change of scenery.” Guardian responded. “And I do seldomly enjoy watching you be bested by me.”
Brutality, annoyed at her interference, gave a retort with arrogance. “For now, Guardian. It’ll soon swing to my favor now that she formed a powerful bond with this lonesome being. This is nothing more than a simple obstacle in the road; he’ll fall relatively soon enough,” Brutality let out a wicked sneer as he vanished, leaving with these parting words. “And that, my friend, is where you’ll be bested and a Behemoth will be born.”
Guardian simply bowed once Brutality disappears. Turning her head slightly towards Bernkastel and Spina, the latter not aware of her presence, se gave out a simple wave towards her. Her part broke apart like tiny particles until disappearing completely, but she did leave a few parting words. “Pleasure to meet you, Witch of Miracles. We’ll be seeing each other a lot soon...”
