Okara awoke in the med bay of the ship, blinking away his sleep. His muscles ached as he sat up, shaking his head. He glanced around at the unfamiliar territory, bringing a hand up behind his head to rub the back of his neck with a groan. Throwing aside the covers, he'd stand up, wearing only some briefs as he'd open the door to the empty room. Sticking his head out in the hall he'd call.
"Helloooo....?"
This was very weird. He remembered giving Aisu his strength and then....nothing but darkness. Blurry flashes. Now he was on a ship?
What was going on?

Where'd the warmth go?
The sudden absence of it was enough to tug her from sleep's grasp and the Jinn rolled over onto the still-warm depression where the body of her favourite monkey Okara had been.
She sneezed and looked over to his form in the door. "Okara?"

He jerked, spinning rapidly on his feet and throwing up a hand, intent to fire- when he saw Aisu. He'd withdraw his hand and stand straight, blinking.
"A-Aisu? You were there the whole time? I must...still be a little off."
He didn't even sense her energy. He'd step back into the room and close the door.
"What happened? Are you Empress?"

Aisuko gave a slow blink as he whirled and his hand came out as if to fire, but she didn't move. Her lips twitched at the questions.
"I was here the whole time, and," She yawned, gaze darkening, "I don't know if I'm Empress or not. Namek is destroyed."

He blinked. Not sure if-?
Destroyed?
"What do you mean? Someone invaded again?"
He didn't understand what that meant. He'd come back over and sit on the edge of the bed next to her, brow furrowed.

Aisuko sighed...
"Well. I mean I don't know what happened to Hail, and the dignitaries were split up...and Namek is destroyed as in obliterated. No invasion? I don't think? ...your dad..."
She sat up, slowly.
"He used Shattering Rites to push us onto he ship in time...wound up being knocked into your mom, who I can only assume was going back out for him. He went down with the planet."
There wasn't really a gentle way she could give the news to him...but she tried her best.

He stared. And stared.
"I don't get it. Down with the planet? Someone killed my dad and took over Namek?"
He smirked and shook his head.
"No way. We gotta be on our way to Arkosia by now."
He'd stand up and head for the door.
"I'll ask the Captain our heading. Weird joke, Aisu."

Aisuko stared in turn, but when he got up she let out a heavy sigh.
"Okara." Her tone was heavy. "It's not a joke. I'm sorry. Your dad's dead, and Namek is no more."
She could see his denial of what she'd been telling him...and thus resorted to being seriously blunt.

He turned back halfway, hand retracting from the door handle.
"I get what you're trying to say I just don't believe you. A planet was wiped out, and the strongest person I've ever known is dead? Theres just no way."
He'd stare at her, his smile failing. His hand dropped back down to his side.
".......................you're serious, aren't you?"
Assuming she gave the affirmative, he'd turn to look at the door.
"Then....we'll have to get the dragonballs and bring them back."

"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it, either..." She trailed off and nodded at his question. "Yes, it's true."
She frowned...brow drawing together in furrows.
"If Namek's gone and the Dragon Balls were on that planet, how do we find them? Wouldn't they be wiped out, too?"

He would turn to his dresser, pulling on clothes. Though outwardly, he showed no signs of reaction, inwardly there was this tight constriction in his chest. His dad was dead? like...dead dead? He couldn't wrap his head around it. He could have sworn he felt his father....
"First, we go to Earth. Nothing in the universe is exclusive- those can't be the only dragon balls in existence. We'll talk to Vo Lang and see if he knows of another planet that has them. We'll pull the planet and my dad back that way."
He swallowed.
"I need you, though, to explain everything. Why didn't you fight Hail?"

Well, she lost her parents, so she kind of had an inkling as to what he was feeling.
She shifted and pat the bed after, clearly meaning forhim to sit. If he did he would find her tail looped around behind him and the last foot or so came to rest on his lap.
"...well... I was going to. Your dad showed up and picked you up before I could head after Hail. It sounded like maybe this Limax was fighting him? Your dad said he doubted I would be able to take him even with your strength, so I had to decide. It came down to trying to go after Hail or living to fight another day. I guess I chose the diplomatic solution but part of me feels I should have gone after him."
She let the sentence hang.
Clearly she doubted she'd be alive if she had. But.

"I see. So If I hadn't done that....hed probably still be alive."
He slammed the cupboard closed.....now fully dressed. He'd stare at it for a second....before walking from the room without a word and heading for the Captains chair.
Time to get some answers.

"You don't know that. Maybe, but maybe not."
Her eyes narrowed at the slamming of the dresser and she watched him head out, huffing to herself...but she pushed herself to go and follow him, but silently, unknowing that they were close enough to Earth, at this point...that they'd be making planetfall soon enough.
