It... It was brutal. The footage the S.P.O.O.P. agent showed me was unbearable to watch. He wasn't ready for this, he's never seen real combat before, he's never had any experience like this, he should have known better, but maybe it wasn't his fault. I could have done more, it could have done it sooner, i should have done it sooner. I knew he was determined but the war is worlds away, why do kids these days have to run so damn fast?

There i sat, in some one in a billion not quite comfortable but we made an effort kind of chair watching it over and over again. I could see how hard he tried, i could feel bones breaking under that amalgamation of genetics' fists. Yet still he pushed forward, maybe for the first time in his life he chose forward, to risk himself for something bigger than himself, To give his last full measure of devotion to a people he'd never met for a cause he didn't quite understand based one one thing... It felt wrong not to help. Darker, more sinister thoughts push my mind towards revenge, but that's not the path i want to walk and it's one that i'm frankly terrified to slip down into. Thankfully it didn't need to be this way! death is not the end of life, this i know beyond mere belief. If Julian's mettle is as tough as his metal, he should most certainly be able to retain his form. My jubilation came as shock to the agents sitting with me. A few mistook it for hysteria, but some trusted that i had found a silver lining. Sadly not everyone can benefit from what i have in mind, but if i aim to be a god then i choose benevolence as my mantra and i can make this right again.

"Sir? i'm not quite sure what peace you've just discovered in this mess but i think i know someone that could use some good news. His registration paperwork only had one contact on it and she hasn't returned our calls. We were going to send someone but since we've only recently confirmed things on Namek, perhaps this is a message best delivered by a friend?" Yes, a friend, at least i think that i was...

"But you don't seem to understand, i can bring him ba..."(SLAP!)

"I heard you the first time! I told those idiots at S.P.O.O.P. that i had nothing to do with him anymore when they hired him and i haven't spoken to him since before that. You think you can just come in here and spout some religious nonsense about an afterlife and how you're so high and mighty you can do the impossible, work a miracle. Well sorry i'm not buying, all full up on disappointment at the moment. You people think you can do anything you want, just cause you can fly or wave your hands and make the lights go out. HE WASN'T LIKE YOU, YOU HEAR ME!? YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE HIM! I used to think His worst enemy was himself, holding back all that time. Now i think maybe it was somebody else, putting ideas in his head, making him think a big heart made him bulletproof. NOW I CAN'T EVEN SAY HIS NAME! AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY? You've got your head so far up your ass, so far removed from reality that you don't get that we're not special, that we're just people. Now get out and don't you ever come back here. MONSTER!"

It's been a lonely flight back to the lookout tower. I think i even passed it at one point without even realizing it and my cheek still stings. I wanted to make her understand, to know that things aren't so bleak, but she wasn't wrong. Her truth may be relative, but it's true to her and maybe this is an act of guilt and not benevolence. I suppose i'll have to wait until my last measure of devotion to find out. You'd think being so close to the afterlife by default would come with it's perks, but in reality they more strict with us, setting an example or something like that. As I approached the lookout again I knew that I could not decipher this on my own, but i was determined to see it through. If he can push forward, the least i can do is the same.

"Kami, this is a sudden turn of events but i shall be heading to Namek after urgent matters are seen to. I should like a letter of introduction to the Guru. I know this is not a honor to be extended lightly, but i will attempt to meet with him either way and would much rather be seen as a respectful visitor than a madman with a grudge. I'll need to procure something of great value before i go so you have a short window to make up your mind. I'll return and leave with little time in between so whatever you decide, please be done with it before i get back." With that i made my way towards the capsule corporations headquarters, a brilliant human devised a method by which to locate the dragonballs many generation ago and given the escalation of the war i'm on a schedule. Even after nearly a millennia of research and testing this radar as they call it is still an expensive commodity. It's cost nearly everything i have, but Julian gave even more, this was an easy decision.

The ball itself was not difficult to obtain, it had made it's way into a rather serene grove of foliage on a remote island. Both flora and fauna of the island seemed dangerous, but merely allowed me passage, perhaps a sign from heaven that i shouldn't be so quick to overlook the perks of my being. Penniless and ashamed, but with hope in tow i returned to the lookout to await Kami's words.

"I have no letter to give you Xiao, mine is a formal people, but tell our tales in words of mouth, not ink. Tell the Guru I have given you my blessing and that i look forward to seeing home once all of this has been dealt with. I cannot say if any of that will actually help you or not, but it is a sincere attempt to help you. However know this, Turmoil stirs within you, like a wandering of self, conflicted and torn. You cannot walk two paths so watch your step."

With a bow i was gone, through the cosmos and in a fraction of time, carried by heavenly mandate or trained skill, maybe a bit of both. The Namekian honor guard was not pleased to see a strange face in a hidden location, but a dragonball makes for an excellent white flag it turns out. Taken before the Guru and several high ranking members of S.P.O.O.P. they seemed rejoiced though shocked.

"And here we were, contemplating the ramifications of our leaving earth in force, wondering what terrors our enemies could unleash with an undefended dragon waiting to be summoned and you walk in, the new hero of the alliance to spare us the tragedy. Bravo my new friend, thank you for bringing us this safety net so to speak." This man must be the leader of earth's delegation here to speak with such bravado.

"I'm sorry to have to disappoint you, but i've no stake in this war beyond hoping for it's peaceful end and this is not a gift of any kind. If my possessing of it helps you to sway things to their conclusion then congratulations, but my motives are personal." The man seemed taken aback by the notion that someone would deny him at all, let alone move on without giving him a word in. "Lord Guru, Kami of earth expressed his eagerness to visit once more pressing matters are settled and in the meantime I request your guidance. We are both aware of what this orb is capable of, but no power comes without a price. Before i make my decision i need to know the lasting effects on its target. I must put something right, but not at the cost of harm to the already battered victim. I beseech you, teach me of it's history, it's power, that i might use it for to save an innocent soul."
