Upon the supreme kai's touch, Ziber's body and mind separated for a moment as his focus went to the world where he would train with the being she had created for him. While his mind was taken to a familiar battlefield, his body was left silent as it waited for the two to become one again, but there was still active that happened around it. The first was when the stowaway that had hidden inside of the frost demon's gem and began to try and figure out what had happened to the person that had carried her here. He had seen this spirit briefly during the night as he slept, but it appeared that this was an actually person, that possibly heard what he said when he was behind closed doors. Ziber remind motionless as the spirit began to argue with the supreme kai on various things that he wouldn't know about until later, if was told about this meeting after he found out about the newcomers. However, as he did battle inside his mind, he was receiving that damage on his body and at first it seemed like he was going there a heavy fight, but then it happened. The frost demon's armor clicked as he suddenly transformed into his fifth form, which was far large then what he was before he had started his mediation and would be a shock for those who didn't know about it. As he continued his training, something had happened in his mind as the gem on the bio armor on his head changed from his normal blue to a deep black. Along with that, pain could be felt from Ziber's ki as dark events that were sealed were now being revealed in his mind, and bleed out into his aura.

Kit felt her fur bristling up and growing hot as the annoying hag kept talking. A growl rumbled from her chest as her body sparked with heat. She pushed her anger to avoid burning the person she was sitting on. “Watch it! Inari is to a God, she is our patron you hag!” She snarled before everything shifted. There was something wrong, the energy changed all around and she felt a chill of danger. When the man she sat on changed forms she made a yip noise in surprise and jumped back into his now black crystal. As she did she felt something coming, the energy around them was heavy. However that all faded away as she tucked into the crystal and felt pain. By now she knew this was not hers but the one connected to the crystal, it made her sad. She still didn't get why this bothered her. Still once she calmed down she still wanted to tell the hag off so she used her magic to speak from the crystal. ” Shows how smart you are, I am a fox not a puppy thingy… you would think a so-called God would know that. “ She threw back with a snicker. ” I do not see how you could help him but I am staying right here… and stop being a creeper on him!!” She demanded with a growl.
The God would look to Ziber, and keep her eyes on him while the girl began to speak once more while a finger touched her lips. "Inari is a glorified house pet." She'd brush off while waving her hand watching the transformation as her eyes would jolt around the body of Ziber. It would change forms, she had experienced this before at the look out all those months ago. His power changed as well, as she would tilt her head seeing as though his body had morphed from the battle's increasing stakes. Though not long after witnessing this the girl would leap into the crystal upon his forehead while Ingo tapped her chin sighing. She would call from inside of the crystal while she stood up and blinked softly. "Whatever you are, you're childish and irrelevant to this situation, so as long as you don't wake him. I don't care what you do." She'd call to the crystal before a devious smile curved on her lips. "You're as much help to him now as a towel is in the bottom of a lake. Besides. I'm not creeping. We're bonded right now closer than you could ever bond with a being." She'd cross her arms across her torso to hug her waist as her body began to wiggle from side to side. "His mind, his soul, his heart. I'm bonded with them all right now and can understand the intricate details of his thoughts and the wants of his soul. . .Even with this said, you'd know nothing of what the importance of what I'm doing is. Less how to stop me, even if you would try. So words do little, beaver woman."
Ziber remained unconscious as the two woman interacted with each other, but their was still a lot of pain in his ki, and now, his energy was starting to drop for some reason. While the small fox had entered the crystal on his chest, it wasn't effected in the same way as the energy that was coming from the crystal that was on his head. This energy was foreign to the frost demon and didn't match any of the people that were there, and seemed to be affecting him because of the training. Very few people would know who this energy belonged to, but it would be more worrying on why this energy was coming from his body, from his head. Ziber was in a limbo because of this energy and it was starting to effecting his body in a negative way, like it was trying to absorb the experience that he had gone through. If one view what was going on, it would appear that he was just sitting there in the training space, and the wasteland had been covered in pure darkness. The frost demon wasn't aware of what was going on as he had dived to deep in his own mind, and found something that was holding on to him, deep into his mind. A person wouldn't be able to see what he was going through until he was pulled out of it or the thing that was blocking something was removed. With him being connected to Ingo, it was unknown what she was going to do with the situation that Ziber was stuck in, and was left with his body still mediating.
Ziber listened to the supreme kai as she once again brought up his weakness again, even though she hadn't explained what that was, but this weakness was somehow was going to be shown during this training session. He felt the light punch on his head and an odd feeling entering his body, much like what he felt when he trained with Scryew or when he was near death thanks to the assassin, Chitaak. The frost demon's mind moved back to the familiar world where he fought along side the Namekian against the image of Korn-in, a dead world that Ingo seemed to have a fondness for if she was using it for a second time. "Why is she using this world again for training?" Ziber asked himself looking around before his attention was pulled to the image that had been placed in this pseudo world for his training. As the being began to form, the supreme kai would continue to explain, that his weakness wasn't the hatred that he felt or his quest for vengeance, and that the truth would be revealed in this battle. After this message, the identity of who the frost demon finally took shape into the person whom took everything from him, and made him unable to go home ever again. He didn't like this extra bit of theater that was being placed here for the training, but as the emperor brought up his name, almost like he enjoyed that he was name Ziber, he would greet this action with a sharp glare. "You are just the shadow of the man I need to kill. An image to punch until you're a pile of blood on the ground or until this train is over."
He responded to Fridged's words and laughter, and then moved his arm to aim back at his opponent, as time seemed to slow while each waited for the other to make the first move. The frost demons then each fired their death beam that ended with an explosion that coated the area in a dust cloud in which no one could see anything. "Oh! The traitor continues to hid, but now this time, behind a veil of sand instead of a back water planet that he had to bring into a war he can't finish." Said the emperor as he mocked Ziber, bring up the face because of his actions, earth was seen as an enemy of the frost demon empire. The response came swiftly with a pair of glowing red eyes glared at Fridged from the sands, before being swiftly kicked in the back of the head and out of the dust cloud. When the dust settled, it also revealed that the frost demon had transformed into his fifth form, now furthering the gap between the heights of the two aliens then it had been before. Even though he had used this form once before, his newest transformation had already seen combat against his rival, though the match hadn't ended with a true vector. Ziber's tail slammed behind him and then charged toward the false emperor, reeling his fist back before slamming into his opponent's gut, with powerful enough to cause Fridged to cough up liquid. He followed this attack while his opponent tried to recover from the hit with spin kick that sent the smaller of the aliens flying off before beginning buried in the sand.
The frost demon let out a growl before his flexed his right arm while he tried to get an idea of how strong this form was compared to Fridged, and although this was just an image of just his first form, meaning that he could still be stronger, this transformation was powerful. This form... It had appeared during the group's trip through time and the suffering that came from the idea of losing his friends again because of someone else's words and actions. Ziber's fist tightened as the events replayed in his mind of the day before, but thought the others didn't notice or just chose to turn a blind eye on what happened for the time travelers. In a match of honor, Okra had pulled out a concealed weapon instead of trusting in his own strength to fight against, and tried to even take the life of their opponent, another tournament rule that he choose to ignore. And then there was the other one, the woman that he worked with who was Master Gyoza's granddaughter had shot the frost demon from the stands and if he hadn't be careful, it would have shot him threw his heart, a killing blow if not treated immediately. It had been an attempt on his life and if he had been weaker, he might not be here training, at least without a halo in between his horns if what he had picked up on how his "friends" reacted to the time travelers. Ziber had thought about it over the night and if he had died by the hands of those two, most of the dragon team wouldn't had cared if he had died, nor would they had tried to seek justice for his death. It was just like before where he was seen as the villain and Okra and Z were the ones that need to be protected because people had a "good feeling" about them. The idea made the frost demon feel that familiar dagger that had stabbed him once before, and took his happiness away from him, only the dagger had switched hands and the pain the frost demon felt was so much worse. "Ziber? What happened to you two not trying to kill each other?" A familiar voice called out in Ziber's mind as he played back the events, still trying to understand what had happened and why the people he thought were his friends didn't stand by him. The answer had been two fold when Yosi had asked this, with the first being that if Okra had been capture, they would have been able to get home sooner, and not had gone through what had happened after. The second came before the frost demon could respond to his friend, when the time traveler kept pushing the idea that he was the villain, and continued to threaten him, without anyone saying word to stop it. Everyone at that point saw the knights as the threat and Yosi went to join Daiko to prepare for combat, both turning a blind eye again to the youth and allowing the tension to boil over. The saiyan only made things worse when he made the started to explain that things would be better if Ziber was dead, where everyone would be better off without him. This made things worse and in that moment where he felt he was alone, he was ready to lash out and kill Okra because of how much pain he was causing. However, there were people that did stand with the frost demon; Ringo, his old teammate, Seri, who he learned was on his side after hearing what happened, and the knights that had come from the future. When the knights and the robot stood by his side, he was starting to calm down and thought things would be okay if they just got back to their time, and the time travelers sent brought back to theirs.
But then, everything started to tumble down for Ziber as the people he thought was friends chose the opposite side, still defending the person that had tried to kill him, and though it wasn't spoken at first, saw him as the one who was wrong. Then, when Okra showed what he wanted to do along, his father gotten in the way of what could have been a battle to the death to protect his son from the wrath that had been building. The battle then moved to where they had joined the turtle school with Daiko and as explained what he had learned from his masters, the frost demon saw the hypocrisy from his words and what was going on. He did do one thing that Daiko asked him to do, and that was listen, that was what he done most of his time on earth, and that was why he felt he had to fight back. Ziber and the saiyan continued to clash with attacks and with words, but there were things that his friend didn't know, and with what happened in during their time travel adventure, the dragon team nor anyone he had met on earth were going to know what happened after Fridged was killed. So, the battle had to end between Daiko and him, otherwise his plan would have come up and he knew that the dragon team wouldn't approve of what needed to be done. The frost demon loosened his fist before he remember why he was here when Fridged appeared behind him and slammed his launched him down to the ground with a hard slam. Of course the emperor would go for a sneak attack like that and if this had been real, he would be stabbed and left to die, like many that had gone against that monster. With a roar, Ziber's energy blasted away from him like an explosion, clearing the dirt that had him trapped in the ground and was ready to continue with the battle that stood before him.
After a moment, he winced from the pain, but he had to continue fighting as the person he was with wouldn't let him have a chance to rest, even if the figure wasn't the actually person and just a shadow the supreme kai had made. When he looked back to see Fridged, the frost demon would notice that his opponent somehow didn't take any damage from the exchanged, like he didn't even get hit by the attacks. He didn't know how that was possible as he should have left a mark or something with his assault, but no, the emperor showed no signs of weakness or slowing down from combination attack. "Well, that was quite the greeting. Almost like the time that you killed my younger brother." The words of the monster made Ziber sick as he was the one that watched his friend get murdered in front of him, unable to do anything because of the power gap between them, both in strength and in politics. After all, the court made there choice on who to believe between the honor guard tasked to protect the crown prince or the older brother of the prince, who now had gained the crowned. The frost demon growled as he charged at Fridged with a powerful kick in the chest, sending his opponent flying off into the sky, before chasing after them. While they flew the air, he periodically jolt around his opponent with a his speed to deliver a punch, but did it in a way to keep pushing flying in the direction he wanted. Ziber would then stop this movement before kicking the emperor into the mountain, sending him deep into the rock, almost reaching the center of the structure. He then started to move his energy towards his right arm as if he was preparing to use a energy blade, but this time the ki didn't ignite into the energy blade that he normally used, like he was preparing for something else.
The frost demon moved his right arm up over his left shoulder and in that moment, even more energy started to flow past what was needed for an energy blade or even the turtle school's signature move, the kamehameha. He had thought of using this type of move for sometime, but it seemed to dangerous to be used while training or he didn't have time to concentrate to make the attack. However, Ziber was in the position to use this move now and, with a swift strike like he would if he was slashing his blade, sent a wave of energy which seemed to be extremely sharp. That attacks power would only be shown after he sliced deep into the mountain before that now top part began to slide to the side, having made a clean cut through the rock. As the ground shook from the sudden movement from the mountain, the energy around the frost demon dispersed and was left to watch what he had accomplished. This wasn't what he focused on as he began to search where the emperor was hiding or if he planned to attack him from behind like with what happened before while his mind wondered. Ziber still could sense the energy of the emperor still in the part of the mountain that hadn't slide of the other half, thinking that his foe was still plotting something. This idea became true as death beam zoomed past his cheek, leaving a cut on his bio armor, before a legion of death beams started to fire towards him, aiming to deal some heavy. The frost demon would respond to this by bringing up his energy barrier to protect him self, but some of the attacks would pierce throw the energy to just graze his bio armor leaving more marks.
From this barrage, he was force to dodge with his shield still up, only to be used to lessen the damage he would have received from the emperor's attacks and avoid any deadly hits. Ziber would continued this until he saw the emperor blasting through what was left mountain and flying up towards the sky, only to stop just above where he floated to realize what they had planned. Fridged raised a finger and a small ball of ki floated just above the tip before expanding out to what looked like a giant sun, and with it, the former knight would have to face the most powerful attack known by his race. Normally used as a counter against large groups of enemies, the frost demon had learned that if hit correctly, the technique could be used to destroy structures and if the energy was more potent, had the ability to destroy planets. He would brace himself as the attack was then flung towards him in order for Fridged to get an easy victory using the destructive powers of the technique blowing up next to him. Ziber had moved his hands to put distance from him and the attack, but the weight of it started to move him back down to the ground, and if it did, he felt that it would lead to his death. He need to think fast as he used his telekinesis and the barrier he had already created to surround the giant attack, containing it for a moment, but that was just what he needed. For in that moment, the frost demon let out a pulse that launched the attack away from him, and sent it zooming past Fridged and exploded in the sky causing quite the fireworks. He began to pant from how much energy he had used bust suddenly his head started to feel a sharp pain, as it something had stabbed deep into his head.
Ziber moved his hand to his head as the pain was unbearable with his head throbbing, and left him floating down to the ground, unable to concentrate to keep himself in the air with his ki. He held his head as the headache had brought him to his knees, wondering what the point was for Ingo to make him feel this pain for his training fight with Fridged. The frost demon would move his gaze to try and find where the emperor was, but his foe had already appeared behind him and moved to deliver a devastating blow from behind. However, something was wrong as the figure that in the shape of Fridged simple went through him, just as if he was a phantom and he now was unable to interact with a person of the living. When the emperor past through him, Ziber tried to get up to respond, only for him to fall on his butt and feeling a sense of weakness wrap around him as if he had been drugged. He looked around as it appeared the world that he had been training on started to become consume by a wave of darkness, leaving only an empty void. The frost demon tried to move away from this oddity, but the pain in his had was messing with his balance, and was unable to escape with the darkness flowed over him. He couldn't see anything in the darkness, and started to get even more confused, with the feeling of fear starting to form in his heart as he wondered if something had happened outside of his mind. It was that instant that the pain in Ziber's head started to fade and that was when he finally saw something in darkness, a far younger version of himself, but was wrong with this figure.
He was able to get up now that the pain was gone as was surprised that even with the world gone, he was still able to stand and walked over the younger version of himself. At a closer look, the child was bruised and had gashes all over his body, as if they had been through a ton of fights, but it didn't make sense to the frost demon, because by that age, he hadn't started his training to become a knight. He hesitantly reached his hand out to touch the figure to see if it was real, but once his hand touch the image, a bright flash blinded his gaze and felt his body being pulled somewhere. The grip on Ziber's body was tight and he couldn't break from it, no matter what he tried and was left to be taken to where ever he was being sent to, but needed to be prepared for anything. His journey would end as he was flung into a long metal hallway with a loud slam, confused on why he was taken here, but daze from the impact to start question anything. After a moment, the frost demon recovered and started to look around him as he started to feel a sense of dread and that he knew where he was, but didn't know how that was possible. The hallway looked like that of a prison, several doors keeping the occupants inside where they couldn't cause harm to others, but this place held a terrible secret. When he looked inside of one of the cells, Ziber started to remember what this place was, a research center that was made to create a new line of warriors that would become the strongest force in the galaxy. However, to the people here that weren't part of the research team, it was there hell as for what he saw was another child, one that he didn't know the name for, but felt such pain in his heart.
The frost demon had been here, but not during his time as a knight, as the bodyguard of the crown prince, was what he thought as he continued down the hall, something luring him further down the hall. Each room was the same, holding a child that had been brought to here to be experiment on, to craft them into soldiers for a group that had been lost to time. Ziber stopped at the last door of the hall, but it seemed to have more security then others as the only wanted very few members of the team to enter the cell. For some reason, the door did open from him, and when it did, a feeling of cold filled his senses as will as the lights of the room slowly came on to reveal what he already knew. In the center of the room, the frost demon found his younger self once more, with armor covering parts of his body that was said to help focus his power, but actual limit it to control him. As he looked at this other self, he didn't know which of his memories were correct, what he was seeing in front of him or the memories of his parents, the kind two that allowed him to become a knight. Ziber had this memories, but now these new ones were starting to show faults in what he had thought originally was his past and what was left started to pull on his heart. He needed to know more as he desperately wanted to prove that these memories were fake, but the only way he could find the truth was if he continued down this path. The frost demon, seeking this truth, started to walk over to where his young self was and placed his hand over the helmet that the child was wearing, diving deeper into his mind.
Upon his touch, his body began to warp to return not to his true form but had reverted back to the form he was when he first appeared on earth, cloak and all, and the area around him started to morph and shift around him. Where Ziber ended up was what looked like a training arena, but from the appearance of the place, it looked like it was in the same place as the hallway he had appeared in the start. He moved his gaze to one side of the room where he found his younger self again, but this time they were mobile and was fighting what looked like training robots. The frost demon didn't even need to sense if it was him as the child's fighting style was much like his, though not as knightly as his style was now and seemed more wild. He continued to watch as he slashed with an energy blade or simple crushed the drones with his telekinesis with little resists but was more vicious then what he was like now. Ziber even saw moves that his young self was able to do that he had never tried, or even thought of creating, and made him question why he didn't know what was going on. The fight continued for hours, but would finally end after the last drone fall and doors of the arena open, which his younger self made his way to the doorway. The frost demon would follow in the hallway, but as he walked through it, he saw hand reaching out to the both of them, even thought he could see the people inside were far from the doors. At the same time, he heard voices coming from all angles, most of them were children begging for help, or spoke in a tone which they had given up on hope and just wanted it to end.
As he was haunted by these voices of sorrow, Ziber would then focused on one voice that called his name in the darkness and appeared to him as a single star in a night time sky, almost like it wasn't effected by the light pollution of a city. From one stat, three more joined where it shined, and for a moment the fear and despair disappeared, and was replaced with a peaceful aura and a warmth that made him feel calm. The hallway that the frost demon was walking in suddenly opened into a large room, but it almost seemed like he had left the cold embrace of the lab and left to a dream world. The place seemed to be a city under the glow of the full moon, and felt like he was home, but this wasn't the capital of the frost demon of empire or any planet he had ever been to. Ziber followed his child self as the armor that was on him faded away, revealing the injuries that he had saw before weren't on his body, and joined the other children as the circled a bright glowing orb. Excluding his younger self, there were three boys and one girl here, all were different races and when thought that he didn't know there names entered his mind, he was heartbroken. The group began to take about varies things as fragments of the frost demon's memories came to him again, remembering that it had been the girl that had created this world for them to get away from their time in the lab. The groups interactions had saved them from become like the others that were being experimented on and it was planned that if there was the chance they would escape this place together, to make a place they could call home. Though the others grew excited about this plan, Ziber noticed that his younger self expression changed for a carefree one to the blank and hopeless one that he had seen when he first saw his younger self.
At this time, the place around them flooded with darkness and the children beside his younger self faded away, along with the world that had been created as their own place of peace. The frost demon would find himself in the lab again, but it appeared years had pasted as his younger self had grown somehow, and more scientist were now working on him. They were preparing him for a mission, and if his memory was correct, it was about a group of raiders that had been attack their supply stations and cost them a lot of money. After the figures preformed that act of his debriefing, Ziber watch as his younger self flew out of the building to where these raiders were hiding, given the order to kill everyone at the location and to not leave any survivors. He was pulled to follow his younger self and was now able to see where this building was, in the middle of a jungle that had two suns and had an abundance of plant life, a very easy place to hid the secret of their work. The frost demon would fly past the jungle to mountain range, but would stop over a valley that the mountains hid, with a large camp to one side next to a cave. He then was pulled down to the camp as he younger self started to fight with the group that was there, but it was easy to see that the people here where out match and would be quickly wiped out if he wasn't stopped. Ziber was left to watch this massacre, but something was wrong here as he watched his younger self fought, he noticed that his actions were off, like he was drugged. The child would continued kill until he was met with armored members of the group but one could see that the armor was just made out of the scrap of what they had stolen from the supply lines.
Suddenly, the frost demon's head started to hurt again with the screams of the group getting louder and started to echo, like something was trying to stop him from going deeper into these set of memories. Unlike last time, the world didn't break apart and the figures of this memory didn't disappear as the bodies started to stake from his younger self's massacre. Ziber would look up just in time to see his past self holding the leader of the group by their neck using telekinesis tightly until he heard a snap and the body of the leader went motionless. The body fell to the ground with a thud that caused their helmet to fall off to reveal the identity of the person that was kil- the area round him started to crack like glass around him. However, the frost demon had seen who the person was leading the group, the one that had made a place where him and his friends could find hope and planned to escape. The plan did happen and the group did escape and was able to form there own home, without him there, leaving him behind to be continued to be experimented on. Ziber watched as his younger self fell to the ground, unconscious from something in the armor or just from the shock of what he had seen, and it was just to much for him to deal with. A group from the lab would appear a little after, but the cracks were still all over the place, and continued to be there as the area moved back to where his younger self was being held. Once they were back into lab, the scientists then placed the young frost demon into what looked like a healing chamber that the frost demon empire used.
He then listened to that chat that the scientists, hearing how proud they were with the success of their test subject and that it was worth all that time and effort to make such a perfect warrior. Ziber then learned that they had allowed his younger self to get attach to the others so that his mind would be broken by the betrayal and that the could move to stage two. Their friendship, the separation, it had been their plan to get a warrior that the could use as a puppet and deliver it to who ever had employed them to work on this project. However, the scientists didn't expect what happened next as the young frost demon woke up and shattered the device that was holding him, now floating above the people who had brought him so much pain as long as he remembered. 5 The energy around the being started form around him and from the machines exploding around the room, it was more then what they had thought his power was at. 6 Many of the scientist started to run out of the room, trying to escape the judgment that was about to happened, but one who was couldn't keep their eyes off of what they help create just sat there before starting to life. Then, the energy shot out of the being's body and caused explosion that consumed everything around him, even the older version of himself but wasn't effected by the memory. After that, the frost demon then fell to the ground where was once a lab in the middle of a forest was now a wasteland, a dead spot in the middle of a lush green area. The area around him was still covered in cracks and now his younger self was starting to release a ki that he wasn't familiar with, but filled his soul with dread.
The pain that Ziber was feeling brought him to the ground once more, but when he looked at his younger self, he saw that the cracks also on their body, like something was trying to break of out of him. If this did happen to him and he want through that much pain, he wondered why he couldn't remember any of this that happened to him and the others he knew. The answer did come, but it was something that only left him with even more questions, which started which a figure covered in a black cloak covering their body. "Well... What have we here? Such a geyser of despair coming from a young being like you. How... Majestic." The being said as he loomed over the child like a vulture prepared to pick at a corpse, to which the child tried to get up to fight, but was far to week to complete this task. Ziber tried to move himself, but for some reason, he found himself unable to move and forced to watch what was going on in front of him, with the being placing their head on his young self's head. "It would be a waste for you to die here or worse, becoming a lower rank then what you could be come. So... I will make sure that you will continue to grow and when the time comes, we will invite you to our order." The being would say before the child's body was covered in a black aura before passing out, with the cracks one his body and somehow the world around them. The frost demon was then freed from his headache and the memories properly flowed into his head, with the final part that happened after this meeting of the unknown. His future teacher, and one of the frost demon empire paladins, Polara found him a little after this encounter found him and took him back to capital, but when he woke up, his memories had been altered. Ziber just stood there as his mind drifted leaving him with more questions, but it seemed like there wasn't anymore answers in his memories, and open more wounds that he didn't need.
The world pulsed around him as he found himself in the wasteland again, in the exact same place he was in before that trip down memory lane took over his training for some reason, but this was a good thing. Suddenly, Fridged appeared again ready to attack the frost demon again, but this time he caught his punch before it could him and gave his foe a glare. His body would morph back to his true form and, for some reason, his aura switched form his normal navy blue to one of gold that was mix with multiple colors. "Well, it looks it was a good thing that I was placed in this trance. I will be able share the pain that I just got with the image of the person that i hate more in this world." Ziber said before his grip tighten and threw his enemy away from him, sending him flying to the right of him as he prepared next attack against his foe. He would then do the motions for the turtle school's signature technique and fired the light blue beam at Fridged, launching Fridged even through in the false world. After the attack, the frost demon went to follow to where the fake emperor had landed and started to plan out his next, ready for when he could drive his energy blade into the heart of that monster. He didn't know what Ingo had planed for this training session, but if it was to calm his wrath, it was going to be more difficult now that he had regained his true memories. Ziber also wanted to know who that person was that had he healed him, but had also sealed his memories to stop something from happening to him when he was young. For now though, he would beat his frustration out on Fridged, even if the figure in front of him didn't match the possible power that he could actually have.
Fridged had landed in a flat plain some distance from where the two had first clashed and gritted his teeth, angry that the frost demon had gotten the drop on him and even land a hit on him. He didn't have much time to think though, if he could being just an image, before the a blue flash landed another strike that made them slide across the ground. Ziber was back, ready to continue his fight his fated enemy, which was set in stone when he murdered Val right in front of him, and framed him for the incident. He form a ball of ki in his hand and threw it right to his opponent and when it made contact with them, it formed into an explosion, but seemed to reappear. The black orb would hold Fridged, which seemed to damage him the longer he was in it, but this attack was one that he didn't know, or had ever seen before. Could it be that there had been some influence that was left behind when he was healed by that figure, or was it implanted when he was in that effect in time? It didn't matter to Ziber as his mind was focused on his opponent and unlike before, their wouldn't be anything that stopped their battle by regaining memories. The frost demon knew where he stood on the matter, and his path was set to be craved out of the pain that he had endured, but now, how great would his wrath be now.
He would land a few feet away from his foe and waited for them to get up as his energy started to spike, and motioned to his right leg, deciding on what attack he would use to finish this. "You... Why didn't you just lay down and die like the trash you are. This won't change anything. You will still be seen as the greatest traitor that our empire has ever faced." The emperor would say to Ziber, even with him seemingly defeated, he continued to belittle him and remind him that his revenge wouldn't change anything. He didn't care about his foe's word as it didn't matter what they thought of him, or what he was going to do when the two finally met on the battlefield. The frost demon would be happy that the person that murdered his friend would be dead and unable to manipulate others to do his bidding, bring more pain to others. His energy let out a burst and started to run toward where the emperor stood, before jumping into the air to prepare to use his most powerful attack. Ziber then motioned to prepare his drop kick and charged down to strike at the chest of the emperor, a hit that would send them skidding back again, but this was different. For when he started to fall back, the emperor would be consumed by the attacks ki explosion, leaving them life less on the ground and seemingly had defeated. The frost demon would look back at his defeated before walking over to where they lay, as he had seen something that confused him and he needed to see something. He would then watch was the face of the emperor started to morph rapidly, going through the people that he knew and some he didn't, before ending on himself and leaving him confused...
Ingo prepared another insult before looking over to Ziber and wincing. "Now that's new." She'd murmur while looking back at the angered Destroyer a bit farther off before turning back to Ziber, and clearing her throat. "It's time to wake the lion." She'd goad while leaning down and pushing a hand against his chest. The small pulse of energy would move through his body before tapping the edge and of his body and resonating back one ripple. Her eyes would blink softly while smiling and standing up straight. ". . .Welcome back to the real world." She'd say while he gained consciousness. Then turned into a small giggle. "I got that from one of your Earthling movies. It was really quite entertaining." She'd start before stepping back and looking to him with a beaming expression of optimism. "How was your battle? Was it as satisfying as you would've wanted? Was it exhilirating?" He'd ask while moving a hand to grab a bit of her hair to twirl around her finger. "Was it. . .Enlightening?"
Ziber stood there, looking at the corpse of Fridged that morphed into several people he knew with a few unknown people, and had stopped when the figure's face changed to his. He didn't understand what this meant as he goals were nothing like that of the fake emperor and wasn't sure what Ingo was trying to tell him with this action. It didn't help that the frost demon also had experience memories that conflicted with the ones that he knew, but these new one were the real ones, even though he wished it was the opposite. Before he could do anything, he felt himself being pulled away from the training world while on the outside, instead of breaking out of his body like a shell to return to his normal form, his body simple reversed what it did. As body and mind became one once more. Ziber regained consciousness and stood up from where he had been mediating, feeling a bit odd from what he experience. It was then Ingo spoke and got his attention and welcomed him back to the real world, a saying that she seemed to have gotten from one of the movies from earth, but he couldn't guess what one it was. The frost demon would look to his hand as he tried to put together what he had seen, but the Kai was eager to hear how he felt about the battle he had with the Fake Fridged. He would move his gaze to her as he was about to say something, but stopped, and moved his gaze to what would be considered the horizon of this other world. What did Ziber feel after fighting the doppelganger of the person he hated most in the universe, finally delivering a deadly blow to the enemy that caused him so much pain?
"Nothing..." He finally said, but this would be a shock to the people that knew him, about how much pain he went throw when he was blamed for his friends death, and was banished from his home. The frost demon had done visual training before of killing Fridged and though it hadn't been as intense as what had happened, for some reason he just felt empty. He felt nothing when he landed the killing blow on to the emperor and didn't understand what Ingo was trying to say when the figure's face morphed to different people before he was met with himself. Why the supreme kai saying that Ziber was going to one day become the emperor that Okra warned the others about, or was she saying that he was his own worst enemy. He would then start looking around, seeing that Yosi wasn't there and could still be training, and notice that he couldn't sense Seri anywhere near him, thinking that she might have been sent home. "I... I didn't feel anything while I was fighting that that image of Fridged. I guess deep down I couldn't stop seeing him as just a puppet that only looked like him. I knew... That nothing was going to change." The frost demon said after he looked at Ingo again, but this time, the color of his eyes were dull, as if the fire he had just moments before training session he finally went out. He had thought about something the night that the returned back from the time traveling adventure and it made him feel more alien then the other members of the dragon team. Ziber realized that his friends had noble goals that they were pursuing or were working their way towards what they wanted to do, while is goal was just to kill the person that had caused him such pain. He had thought about this and what he believed he needed to do after Fridged was defeated and the frost demon empire was free from his control...
Ingo would cross her arms, shaking her head a bit hearing his answer as he regained his consciousness. His gaze was that of a lantern that had finally reached the end of the wick. Her finger moved to her lips slowly while shaking her head and giggling a bit. The Woman staring towards Ziber while moving her hip to the side and starting. "It seems you didn't understand. . .Though you're not too off base." She'd tell him while walking around him, circling him with eyes closed. "You seemed to have lost something in this fight while gaining something, one you're able to see. . .What you lost. . .And what you gained is what you're blind to." She'd start cryptically before turning back to him. "I saw within your mind and soul. . .Just like I can sense now, especially since your abilities have increased. . .But! Your mind is still weak!" She'd continue while stopping directly behind him. "You fought against your greatest foe, and felt nothing you said, but you meant to convey you felt nothingness. The feeling of emptiness in actions." He'd tell him before tapping her head. "Though if I gave the goal of fighting an immortal foe in your mind even, to Daiko, Yosi, Seri, or even Cucumber. It would've been so much more." She'd continue while a whisk of her fingers created a mirror that floated before her. Her fingers fixed her hair while smiling into it. "Excitement in knowing progression. Grit for a foe they've spent their life around building up to. Anger in the face of evil. . . But you know that, in your mind. They'd have emotions towards this training of some sort. Why does it matter to you? Why would emotions be beneficial to image training?" She'd fluff her hair before crossing her arms. "Emotions show Passion. . .Passion forges will. . . Will can break the walls that contain us, and Passion is what you lack. . . The goals you have fade with every step. Your sorrow is based on how others perceive your actions. You're easily riled, but even more easily broken." She'd say while turning to him. "You fight so hard to prove yourself to these people, that you askew your views of their concerns to malice, or betrayal because that's what your use to, ready to high tail it as soon as your done with this mission of yours, but this is the surface of you, Siberia. Anguished by the past, and terrified of the future. Not knowing who's for you or against you. . .Your conflicted soul holds you back. Especially since your natural strength outmatches that of even most Kai, but Yosi, and Seriyana will outclass you quickly if you don't find the harmony in your soul." He'd tell him while awaiting his response to this.
Ziber would watch as the supreme kai finally started to explain about the training that he had failed to see what the training was about, but he was close to what he needed to learn. He kept his gaze on the woman while she circle around him like a shark in the water, bring up that he had lost something from him regaining the memories of his past. The frost demon could feel it too, the flames of his fighting spirit had gone out seeing what had happened when he was young, and with what happened to Val and the events, the spark had gone out. What could he say after having several events that left him drained, it was just lucky that he didn't just plan to stay here in otherworld after what he regained what had been lost. Ziber continued to listen as the supreme kai pointed out that even though he was strong, stronger then what he had started with, his mind was his weak point. She continued to read him as he felt nothingness as he fought with the fake Fridged, and pointed out that if it had been immortal the others of the dragon team would have gotten more from the experience. Ingo then started to explain about how the others would have put their emotions into the fight and it showed passion in what they did, something that the frost demon felt he need to cast aside. He was open minded while listened her, but when the supreme kai brought up that the main source of his sorrow was that about "how others perceive your actions", even though there was a slew of other problems. Ziber crossed his arms as he was told that he got his psychoanalysis from the woman, bring up that he was easy to rile up and with what happened yesterday, that could be seen as true.
"Maybe you're right. I did get heated up yesterday when my idles were challenged by the others that were there. That being said, if a crime is committed, shouldn't justice be served." He replied after the woman had finished with her analysis of him, and now it was time to flip it as there were questions that remained unanswered. The frost demon was curious on why none of the gods that where there at Kami's lookout didn't do anything and simple watched as things escalated as they did. "I was the one that was attacked that day during a type of event that you already showed that you enjoyed. Pulling out weapon, attacking in a way that would harm the audience, and even having someone hiding in the crowd to attack while the one on one match was going on. That child threw away his honor just to kill me. There could be a thing about time traveling and changing it to what one desires, but I don't know the rules of this as I think it would be something that the gods can only judge on." He continued as the events yesterday had left a sour taste in his mouth, but now with the experiences of his young self back, he was curious on what a fan of fights thought of the person who could be seen as one of the few who ruined her fun. Ziber thought that the two should be punished for what they did during the tournament and how Okra kept egging him on to try and attack, but he was the one that was told to stop before he could stop them. "As for being outclassed by Seri and Yosi, I would be disappointed if they got stronger then me, but I would be proud of them for how much for how strong they had gotten. Still..." He said before looking down as he still felt something was off with him ever since he woke up from the image fight, with his ki feeling not like it normally should. There was a pause before the frost demon's aura ignited and like in the last moments of the training session, his aura was mostly gold with parts of red and pink mixed in. He felt that there was something here for him, a power that he could tap into if he pushed just a bit more and unleash whatever that gold glow that he had been seeing. Ziber didn't know how the supreme kai would feel about this sudden action, but as he stared at the glow that was coming off of him, she could decipher what he wanted to do. If this was a power that he could use in his battle against Fridged, he had to harness it and make it his own, though he didn't know what was going to happened.
Y O S I Emerging from the small entrance left on the ground, Yosi would once more set foot in this ethereal plain. Her clothes were tattered and she was covered in small wounds from head to toe. She looked around, as if trying to confirm her whereabouts. It felt like she'd been gone for some time, yet it didn't seem like much had changed in her absence. Not too far from where she stood was Ziber and the Supreme Kai, though the former she sensed a dramatic change in aura. But what about Seriyana? The girl was not seen nor was her ki being detected in the area. 'Maybe Lady Ingo can fill me in on what's going on.' Yosi was wanting to speak with her anyway about a number of things- especially on what she experienced in that place. However, as she started to walk over and join the woman and Frost Demon, she froze in place. All of a sudden, her vision began to spin and warp. She felt dizzy and tired; as if all that fatigue she experienced in that place had hit her all at once. "W...What's...?" she huffed, struggling to remain standing. But her legs gave out quickly and she fell to the ground, out of breath. Despite this, she noticed the weight of her cuffs had not returned as before. Did this mean she was simply used to the breathing technique now? Fortunately, it seemed her natural recovery was kicking in now. She decided to sit for a spell before joining up with the others.
She crossed her arms and shook her head while hearing him speak once more. It seems a few of her comments got to him though he foudn himself thinking of the other man again. The tall Daiko. Her eyes closed while she pinched the bridge of her nose. "You're doing it again. . .Like nothing I previously said got to you." She'd say while looking over to him. "You speak like that, but when my sweet Chitakk slammed his heart stopping punch, a move that was set to lethal on someone like you and Daiko due to your power, and Daiko and Yosi found the will to forgive and did not let it hold them back." She'd start, "But also you rest upon this from an objective view when you broke down due to a few comments. . .Daiko dishonored you by jumping in the direct path of an attack to defend you in a singles combat match. Though the only malice you have for him is protecting someone he holds as family." She'd say while turning to him. "I'm not choosing sides in this, especially seeing as this character has broken many rules that I've had to sit with my colleuge and contemplate destroying you all due to the crisis you all caused. But . . ." She'd begin while shaking her head a bit. "No one knows that will tell, so it's not true harm. . .Especially with things going the way they are." She'd murmur the last part. Her feet planting while turning fully to Ziber while her finger traced down her lips.
"But I digress. . . Honor is a flimsy concept, because just as easily as people are told they cast it aside, others can grasp it and regain it in a breeze. . .So-" She would pause seeing the young woman climb from the depth of space with her body spinning nearly and skipping over to Yosi. "You've made it back~" She'd start. Her fingers moving to her ankles as her eyes closed, hearing the click of her ankles as the weights disappeared into the air relieving the girl of her troubles. The Kai standing over her before placing hands on her hips. "It seems you both have finished your training up and with good time too~" Her voice carried while looking back between the two. Though as she did her body leaped back a bound to be equal distance between them. "Or atleast this part. . .Pushing you any further and you might be permanently injured. . .Or Spirit damaged." Her voice trailed before snapping back. "Ready to go home? You might be the first ones after Seri-tan."
Ziber watched as it seemed what he had said to the supreme kai had annoyed her, and made her think that he hadn't heard what she had said, but it was completely the opposite. The problem was when he started to form a passion for something, like escaping with his friends for a new life, becoming one of the strongest knights in history, or even beginning again on Earth, there was always something to ruin it. The frost demon continued to listen to Ingo as she began to fond over her favorite toy, but she brought up how it was so easy for Daiko and Yosi to forgive Chitakk for almost killing him, his eyes narrowed. He already knew the saiyan wouldn't had avenge him if he had been killed, much like how he said he wouldn't have done it if he had been killed by the time traveler. "Forgive..." Ziber muttered to himself as the people who had wronged him started to appear around him, each with a different way on how they harmed him. Manipulation. Separation. Torture. He was being asked to forgive these and other things had happened to him instantly, without any thoughts on how he felt about what was going on and being looked at as in the wrong. Ingo would continue with how she wasn't going to take sides on the matter and that she had to calm that other being from destroying the lot of the group because of what happened yesterday. From this he did wonder how strong the other god was, but it was probably best to not to question it as there now seemed to be a planet missing in the sky above them, possibly from the training with Seri. However, Ziber wasn't prepared when the supreme kai went for the low blow and belittled the idea of honor to him, an ideal he had kept with him even after he was removed as a honor guard.
He was shocked that a person who had shown as a person who loved watching fighting and had loved to see people get stronger would quickly denounce the idea of it. The frost demon gritted his teeth before sensing that Yosi had returned from her journey that Ingo had sent her on, but looked completely exhausted from her training session. He was about to go over to her to check on his friend, but held him back as he just stood there and watch Ingo congratulate the Hera for completing her task. Ziber wanted to say something, but couldn't find his words as everything just sunk into his head, about everything that had happened up to this point and what was said. He was silent Ingo hinted towards more training in the future and that this part had been completed, with the note that if the continued further, they would get injured. The frost demon thought that he could continue on as his body had only been sitting there while Yosi appeared to have been pushed to her limits and then further still. When asked if they were ready to return home, something finally snapped in his mind and responded to Ingo that could possibly shock the both them with a calm demeanor. "Yes, I'm ready to go home. To the frost demon empire or where ever Fridged is." Ziber said bluntly crossing his arms as he waited to see if Ingo would agree to take him or if he had to return to earth to use the ship that Ringo he brought back with him. "I want take care of the problem before it get out of hand to the point where the emperor tries to attack earth and the planet Kami comes from to make a wish on the dragon balls." He said a bit coldly as the idea of the emperor getting anything he wanted was something that needed to be stopped before it could happen, but it was odd as the idea of going straight to Fridged without any help was out of character of what the man had planned.
Ingo moved a hand move against Yosi's back before hearing Ziber. Her eyes blinking softly while turning slightly as she looked to Ziber with askewed lips. She turned to speak before a voice carried across the plain. ". . .Man, could you get any more sappy?" Maedas would walk forward while blinking softly. "You wanna just up and leave after getting the tutorial on the tutorial to using any type of power. . .You wanna run off with your little bit of grit and hudspa and 'Stop him before he attacks'. Tch." Maedas's eyes would find their way to Ingo and then they'd scoff, planting their feet. "There's a reason I got the first choice. . .And didn't choose you." Her eyes squinted. "Because you're unstable. . . Making choices based off of your own selfish desires if you know it or not. You're not some hero, or trying to save anyone, you're just trying to get some sort of redemption for the failure you were. And you haven't changed a bit since a god put time into training you." Maedas would pull their hands behind their back stepping forward towards Ziber. "I would say that you're not thinking correctly, but you're not thinking at all. Rushing off without a moment to think that a great warrior such as Fridged could be bothered with a lowly, insignificant, poor excuse for a freedom fighter like you, in this sorry state." They'd go on as Ingo would put a hand on Maedas's shoulder.
"Stop." She'd sternly say as Maedas looked over their shoulder to Ingo before scoffing. Ingo would look to Ziber and blinked slowly. Ingo would frown and blink slowly. ". . . You really want to take the entry of my training and fight Fridged now?"
Siberia waited for the Supreme Kai to respond to what he said, about charging in to attack the emperor, but it was the other deity that was there, who landed from where they were, who replied first. Like before, the deity belittled his choice on heading to fight against Fridged and stop him before he had a chance of any plans that he had come up with in the period of time after his first strike. The frost demon crossed his arms as they decided to tell him on why they didn't pick him to train, saying that he was unstable which was something that they could agree with. However, with the sudden rush of his true past and from what he been though, was there a way for him to be sane and be able the think straight at the moment? While that question was in his mind, Siberia did seen the irony of the person saying that he was doing things off of his selfish desires when the deity only wanted to train people to have someone to fight with. Meadas's words were sharp as they tore into him about how any good that he was trying to do was a mask that covered for him to get his revenge on Fridged for what he did. The frost demon watched as the deity approached him and felt like they were staring him down while they judged him for not having changed at all from training with Ingo. He was hit again by the deity's sharp words, but he picked up something in the rant that Meadas went on, and would be something that would be stored away for later. Before they continued on, Ingo would stop her fellow deity from going any further and would ask Siberia if what he really wanted was to leave with what he got from this training and to finally to do battle against Fridged.
He would look at the Supreme Kai and though he didn't know her thoughts, it seemed like she didn't want to fulfill the task that he asked for, a suicidal charge to attack the emperor. Taking a moment, the frost demon could see how his decision was idiotic as he didn't have what he needed to get an opening to fight Fridged as he would have an army protecting him. What he had was a single ship and a crew to go against an empire who had a lot more resources and bodies to use as walls to block the group's progress. Siberia took a deep breath and calmed the storm that had formed in his mind after the memories had returned, knowing that he need to go through what he had been through to better understand what was going on. "No... I'm not ready..." He replied to Ingo as he knew there would be another time, a moment where he felt that he was prepared to fight the emperor, and with him a force that could stop whatever he set in motion. "I'm sorry I didn't realize it until now, but I get what you were trying to do Lady Ingo. I will take time to prepare for my battle." The frost demon said as the aura around him dispersed and relaxed his arms from his chest to his sides, maybe misreading what Ingo was trying to say, but would go with his thought that gave him peace. He then looked over to Meadas as there were things that he wanted to say to them after the lashing that he had taken, but found himself silent, which would be a surprise from how he acted before. Siberia was mentally exhausted after what he had experienced with his younger self and wanted to return back to the planet Earth, which was an okay place to be for now. He still didn't know how Ringo would react to a most peaceful area and wondered he was going to keep his friend entertained long enough before he started a war with the dinosaurs on the planet.
Ingo would have a somber smile at Ziber seeing his expression change before closing her eyes and letting out an exhale and walking to Yosi's exhausted body and placed a hand over her form. Her plump lips brightening her expression before standing up and blinking softly. "Lovely." She'd say while pulling a bubble from Yosi's body, filled with her exhaustion and weariness. The woman would hold it in her hand while Maedas walked beside the tall Kai and leaned over to slurp it up like a delicacy. Maedas's mouth would expand as an explosion went off within, before they exhaled a plume of smoke. This would then allow Ingo's hands to cross her lap. "This will conclude our very long training session. Mind your bodies on the way back. The technique we used in order to keep you all in a temporal stasis will very much affect your bodies." The words would be followed by her soft hand cupping her own cheek and giggling. "Now, once the . . .Awakening is to happen, I'll grant you all your task. So please. Take the eve to rest your body, mind, and soul. Then attempt to continue with what you learned. . . If you don't rest-" Maedas sweats a bit staring at the grass. ". . .I forgot to tell the hot head. . ." They murmured, turning to the side and closing her eyes. "Ki sickness is gonna be a b***h." Maedas would murmur before stretching. "Anyway. Go to earth, comfort that Saiyan of yours, since they're probably leagues behind you. Go show that Green b*****d that your power's insurmountable. Because unlike them. . .This training for you all i-" It happened.
Ingo's whole boot seemed to fit in Maedas's mouth as they muffled their speech while smiling as she usually did. "Now my sweets, be healthy~ And Tell Dai-koko-chan and Seriyaaaaaaa-tan that I send my love." She'd say with a wink while the two before her began to fade. As they did, her eyes would squint, and her smile turned to a devious grin. "And Zi-chan. . . Try to handle the pest problem before next time." She'd call to him tapping her forehead before they disappeared, to the earth realm's Guardian tower.
