Those piercing eyes, there was something more to this old man. The thought played through the super human?s mind as he sat, arms crossed across his chest. So much wisdom in his eyes, and despair. So much like mine he thought as he closed his eyes and looked inwardly. Grief, a mountain of grief, swelling inside of him at the loss of his friend and brother.
Funny Uub thought as his hands began to shake uncontrollably, how he had been unable to feel the pain of his loss through the course of action he and his two new comrades had been forced into taking. But now all was quite and looking into those fathomless eyes triggered his emotions.
It happened faster then Uub could control it, two black aura?s engulfed his hands, his grief spilling into that energy like a break in a damn. The old man jumped up, his cane waving through the air with the nimbleness that belied his age and in that moment Uub vanished.
?Where the hell did you send him old man!? Kami yelled across the room, his hands unclasping behind his back as he darted across the room.
The Watchmen only held up his hand. ?Your friend is at a stage in his body alteration where his emotions can trigger unbridled energy.? he nodded as if to reconfirm his statement. ?I only sent him to a place where he may unleash his pent up rage and grief.?
Kami stopped with a dumfounded look on his face. ?You said alteration?? the Namekian was not one to pry into others business but he felt compelled to know everything about his new companion.
The old man nodded. ?I know more then you think, not just what goes on here on this damnable asteroid. ?Your friend Uub is not a normal human by any stretch of the imagination, he is a genome, a human created with enhanced DNA to become something more than human, what that is even I do not know nor for that matter does his creator.?
He sighed as he sat back down. ?He has begun his transformation, he has transcended past anything the human race has ever known, his capacities all of them are enhanced, vision, hearing, smell, his brain waves function on an entirely different level.? he smiled, pleased with himself.
Kami blinked scratching his forehead. ?Well that?s....interesting.? he stood. ?Where is he??
The aged man smiled a toothless grin. ?He?s downstairs, underground in a training facility long ago built by ancient hands. Not even you would be able destroy that chamber.?
The Namekian grinned. ?Well, I?m not interested in destroying the place, I want to talk to Uub.?
?Understood.? the old man waved his cane once more and Kami vanished, spiraling into an abyss and feeling slightly nauseated as he once again saw light. A pure silver light radiating from the center of the room, black spirals of roaring energy swirled around that light, taking the forms of obsidian dragon?s.
He was almost in awe as he stood there, watching the swirling masses of power circle their creator. His pure rage and grief struck the Namekian. ?So this is his true power.? he grinned knowing that Uub came nowhere near his level of power, but knew that with time, this power could manifest itself into something extreme.
?UUB!!!!? he yelled. ?Snap out of it!? he screamed above the roaring energy. ?CONTROL YOURSELF!? Kami erupted into a massive energy surge and dove into the middle of the bright silver light, his fist smashing into the enraged youth, he noticed the icy blue in blue pupils contracting to slits as the cyclonic power vanished in an instant.
Uub panted on the ground, blood trickling from the side of his mouth. His shoulder's shook as tears streamed down his face. Kami landed, his power returning to normal. He hated to do that, but it needed to be done.
?Your not going to avenge Burter by wasting your energy like that!? he roared walking over towards the youth on the ground and smacking him in the back of the head. ?Now get up and be a man, what?s done is done, stop crying and come back upstairs with me.?
?Your right.? Uub?s hoarse voice whispered as he reverted from his Transcendent stage. ?There is no point in grieving, all I have left is revenge.? He stood looking the green Namek in the eyes. ?Burter was the only one in this world besides Bra I truly cared for, I failed him so many times in the past.? his eye?s flared with rage. ?But in killing Brim.? he laughed hysterically. ?I?ll make that bastard pay.?
As Uub and Kami walked back into the common room of the watch tower, the door from the lower levels closing behind them, the aged man stood. ?Feeling better are we??
Uub glared. ?Nothing will be the same for me now old man, my friend is dead, and until Brim dies, the rage within me will burn like an untiring flame.? he threw himself into his chair, the salty remains of rage filled tears evaporating from his bronzed skin.
?Well, before we do that, there are other things that need your attention.? the man said. ?And only you five can carry these tasks out.?
Funny Uub thought as his hands began to shake uncontrollably, how he had been unable to feel the pain of his loss through the course of action he and his two new comrades had been forced into taking. But now all was quite and looking into those fathomless eyes triggered his emotions.
