The Reality Vortex: The Black Rose

[meta knight]

Victor thinks "It seems that I going to be derailing with this groups pass a bit by how these kids have reacted to this Yowl." The team of gnome engineers are finished with the hole that Spina made very quickly. Victor unsummons them after they were finished.

Victor asks "Sence some of us are know the Yowl in question can someone explain to me what to expect?"

The Lab

As the explanation began, both Cayde and Vegetto looked on in silence while Kire explained the situation. Neither figure moved or changed expression at the sight of Federation City; having some familiarity with the city due to their time apart from the Breakers. Vegetto had crossed his arms in front of his chest, but as soon as the picture of the Yowl came into view, his eyes widened to the brim.

Whis blinked in shock as well, turning his head first down to Mooli who was closer with a momentary glance before shifting his attention to Vegetto. The angel paused, the visible cracks on his body still somewhat prevelant despite the healing gradually diminishing their glow, and he cleared his throat audibly once Kire finished and addressed the question regarding the Yowl.

"Yowls are creations of this world, formed from Dark Energy. We will need to be careful in dealing with her; she is an imitation of the real Kass-"

"I'll talk to her."

Vegetto had turned his head, his eyes narrowed as he quickly stopped Whis from continuing.

"If Kass is alive...then I'll find her. She's my wife after all...she'd come around as soon as I see her again."

Whis narrowed his eyes as well, unconvinced and stern.

"That would be foolish."

Vegetto scoffed in reply, turning his gaze off Whis and back to the image of Yowl Kassava.

"Then you can stay here and sit this one out. Everyone gets what they want if I reunite with my wife here; this man gets his lab, the Breakers get to pay off their debt, and I find the happiness I lost."

Cayde shifted uncomfortably in his stance, but the android stood silent without a reply while he looked for Whis to talk sense into the Potara fusion. Yet too, the angel stood tall and did not immediately respond; unsure of how to dissuade the man from the clear delusion he was setting himself into.

Vegetto turned his narrowed eyes to Kire, his dual voice firm and ignoring the others' attempts to form a better plan of action. He met Kire's pupils; his own shaking ever so slightly in the massive sea of desperation hiding under the surface.

"Tell us how to get to her."

Mooli's expression blanked out a bit hearing different names being dropped around regarding the lab. Raising of an eyebrow here, a confused squint in vague recollection at a different name there. But like the others, the mention of Kassava caught her attention the most. And seeing the picture of Yowl Kassava on Kire's screen, Mooli's shock matched Whis and Vegetto's. "That's...!"

She continued to stare at the image, her gaze transfixed on every detail of Yowl Kassava the resolution allowed. The longer she looked, her expression of surprise gradually shifted. A frown took root on her face and her eyebrows furrowed. Mooli looked at Vegetto with an initial apprehensive disapproval of how he dismissed Whis. She crossed her arms and fidgeted where she stood following the awkward silence Cayde and Whis held. With the silence bordering on uncomfortable, the Saiyan woman let out a quiet sigh through her nose to approach Vegetto from behind. "Wait."

Mooli reached out to Vegetto, yet her hand only hovered over his shoulder, hesitant to touch the fusion in a casually impudent manner. Settling for a quick tug on the back of his gi, she decided to speak.

"Sis is my family too-- not quite like the way she is for you, but I know something's just not right here." Mooli adjusted her pink-shaded glasses against the bridge of her nose as she gestured to the screenshot of Yowl Kassava. "I mean, why would she stay in a city filled with evildoers just to guard one of Doom's labs? She'd destroy the place and be done with it. And... ugh... as much as I don't like it... our Kass wouldn't leave you by yourself like this. She'd probably go right to the nearest TV station and be all, 'Have you seen this big pineapple-haired lug around here!? His hair can turn blue and he's got big eyebrows and looks like he's constipated all the time, but he's my husband and he really does have a heart of gold when you get to know him!'" Mooli's imitation of Kassava's voice was terribly falsetto before going back to her usual pitch. "Like that. This Kass looks... kinda scary. The only version of her I can think of who would act mean and violent like this would have to be a crazy one."
