He's annoying like a little brother "What? I'm not implying we're dating. I keep telling you we're not dating. You're the one who keeps calling her my girlfriend." Gozu says exasperated to involved with his own thing to pay attention to Ava.

On her knees now, she looks down at her hands, holding her palms up...
"W-What's happening to me.....? This.... This can't be right.....!! I don't understand...."
She gets to her feet, still staring down to her hands with fear in her eyes....
"What does this mean....? Is it just a fluke of ki.....? Maybe it happened because of my distress.... I need to keep it together...."

"I was saying if I implied you two were to her, Gozu." Couric sighed and paused as he heard Ava's shouts. Letting out an exasperated sigh, he decided to help her out for a second by shouting one thing.
"If you're weird for being able to float, then I am too!"

"Oh....I'm not sure what she would say." Gozu says as he thinks what she would say. "Hmmm..." Hearing wha Couric said he turns around to see Ava standing up after falling. "Oh hey Ava."

Ava hadn't been paying much attention to anyone around her, but when she heard her name called out, she turns to face the 2 now....
"A-Ah...! Oh..... Hello Gozu.... Sorry.... I was just.... Nothing.... Nevermind...."

"Riiight..." Couric muttered, deciding that he should probably leave soon since Korin was likely starting to get a bit annoyed by all the people gathered here...At least, he thought as much. /Still so many presences disappearing around the world.../

Gozu chuckles a little at Ava's response. "Well good luck with the whole...was it floating?" Gozu says trying to remember what he heard her yell even though he wasn't paying attention. "Well I think I'll be off now." Gozu says summoning his nimbus but not leaving yet.

Ava sighs at that, not really acknowledging Couric, she had no cause to. As for Gozu, she just turns away as a sort of physical response..... Though she gives a verbal one as well....
"Y-Yeah.... I guess... Bye...."
She'd just look back down to the Earth once more, thinking to herself....

Couric let himself drop towards the ground, only to land right atop Nimbus, the cloud immediately taking off, flinging the young Saiyan off its back and onto the cloud's tail.
"NOT AGAIN! NIIIMBUUSS!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME JUST CATCH A RIDE WHERE THE THREAT OF ME FALLING TO MY DEATH DOESN'T EXIST!?" He shouted as the boy and his cloud disappeared into the distance.

Gozu chuckles as Couric flies off just barely hanging on to the tail. "Well goodbye Ava. Goodbye Korin!" WIth a wave to Ava, Gozu flies off on his nimbus leaving the tower and heading...well he's not sure yet.

Ava had her back to Gozu and company once more, she see didn't see or acknowledge his waving... She just closes her eyes and takes a seat on the edge of the tower, her legs hanging off, with her hands on her knees.
"Maybe I'm just feeding into this too much.... Being....overdramatic....? Perhaps.... Though, that can't be the case with the killing.... It can't be...well...I can't just shrug it off like it's nothing...."

"Can I really just give up....? Just turn my back on it all....?"
She opens her eyes, looking out to the sky ahead....
"Can I really just stand back and not help....? Can taking a pacifist approach to this really bring peace...? Stop the killing....? I'd like to think so.... But...I know it isn't true...."

"Of course it isn't true.... You fool!!"[/color]
Ava's eyes flash, and she stumbles back into a sort of laid back/sitting up position, her palms flat on either side of her, her face ridden with terror....
"N-No...!! What are you doing back in my head?!"
"Hahaha! What?! Did you really think you could rid yourself of me?! You are strong because of me! You are alive because of me! And you will crush them all, because that is your fate!! You can't hide it from me, Ava! Sooner or later, you'll do it.... Haha.... You'll kill them all... Even your precious Shiro.... Only the strong deserve to live....."[/color]

Ava grasps her head with both hands at that, shutting her eyes tight and shaking her head....
"N-No!! I don't want to kill anyone! Get out of my head! That's not why I want to be strong! I don't want to hurt people!"
"Fool!! The strong crush the weak! You can't deny this! You can't escape your fate! You may be able to resist now.... But, sooner or later.... You WILL give in.... Just like a good little girl... You will do it.... It's only a matter of time..."

After several drops, Shiro realized that he was being dropped over beaches, then forest, and finally over the fields surrounding Korin's tower. After another drop, which Shiro was getting strangely accustomed to, the cloud dumped him, roughly, on Korin's front porch. Shiro stood, shaking a bit, and glared at the yellow puff ball. "I think Korin owes me a new cloud. You're clearly defective."

"What's this about defects?" A rough voice behind him asked. Shiro turned to see the foot or so tall cat master of the tower. "Your cloud been giving you trouble, kid?"
Shiro nodded. "Yeah. It suddenly started dropping me and catching me over and over. I don't know if it's trying to kill me or not."

"Really? Let me talk to him." Korin said as he walked past a confused Shiro. He stood in front of the killer cloud, muttering 'uh-huh's and 'yeah's and even a 'you think so?' After several minutes the cat turned around. "Well, it seems he was just trying to help you learn something. You're just too dense to figure it out. Or maybe you're suicidal, I can't tell."
Shiro glared at Korin as he said those last two comments. "Really? Was he trying to teach me how to scream at the top of my lungs?"

"Hey, don't get mad at the cloud because you're too stupid to figure out what he's doing." Korin said, crossing his arms. "There's only one thing he could be trying to teach you by dropping you from hundreds of feet in the air. You're just too stupid to figure it out."
"And what exactly is that, huh? Flight?" There was silence as Shiro realizes his own stupidity. "Oh."

"Yes, you really are that stupid. Now I think you owe someone an apolopy." Korin said, rather bluntly.
Shiro blushed, both out of embarassment and how awkward it was to apologize to a cloud, turned to his cloud. "Uh, sorry, Nimbus. And thanks for trying to help me."

The cloud replied by smothering Shiro, something he took for a hug before he felt himself lifted off the gound. I guess he wants me to try again. "Hey Korin, any flying tips?"
"Yeah," He said, "don't fall."

Shiro rolled his eyes at that before feeling himself fall. "Gee, thanks." Knowing that the nimbus was next to him incase he took too long, Shiro began thinking out the process. Let's see, the easiest method to fly would be to just shoo a ki blast from your feet. But that's difficult, and it probably takes too much energy. But if I only let a little energy out... With that thought and only a few stories left, Shiro let energy seep from his feet, increasing the output steadily until he feels himself slowing. Eventually he stops and then starts to float slowly back up. So it works.

Shiro attempts to fly up to the top of the tower but quickly grew tired. Once he did, however, his nimbus flew under him, catching him and carrying him back up. As he stepped off the cloud onto the tower's porch, Korin stated, "So you got it, kid? Good for you."

Shiro nods, breathing hard. Korin notices and walks away for a moment before coming back. "Here, kid. Take these." He hands Shiro a pouch and a senzu bean. Shiro looks at the bag strangely as he eats the bean and Korin answers his unasked question. "That's a pouch for keeping senzu beans in. It's made of a material that keeps them fresh for years on end if it has to."

Shiro felt his chest after eating the bean, nodding when he noticed no pain. "Thanks, Korin. I guess I owe you."
The cat nodded. "Yeah, but you can pay me now. Bring me a couple of red snapper. Chop chop."
Shiro nodded and walked over to his Nimbus. "I'll see you in a bit, then." The two then took off, heading to the nearest body of fresh water.

Shiro rode the nimbus back up to the top of Korin's tower. There, he tossed the cat sage the second of the two required fish. "There you go."
"And here you go." Korin said as he tossed Shiro a green bean. "One bean per fish. You already ate one, so you only get one now."

"Uh, thanks." Shiro says, tired and a little confused. He yawned and Korin, noticing, said.
"Why don't you go get some sleep. There's room in the back." Shiro thanked him and walked back there, yawning. He entered the spare room and fell onto the bed, too tired to do anything else.

"No... Please.... I don't want to hurt anyone...."
"Haha.... Really now....?"
"Yes! I only launched the last attack on him to put him out of his misery!"
"Haha! Exactly Ava... Weaklings continuing to live on, is life lived in misery in itself! So, you'd just be putting them all out of their misery! And what of the soilders you obliterated with the Namekian...? What do you think happened to those soilders you unleashed that wave of ki on?! Hmm?! You think they just got up and called it quits?!"[/i]
Ava's eyes widen in horror at that, now on her knees.... She had forgotten about the first assault she launched with Nai's ki blasts.... Of course they didn't just walk away.... In fact, there was nothing left of them.... NOTHING....

"The sooner you accept your fate, the sooner you can find peace with yourself. Your past is irrelevant... Pity is worthless.... Friendship and love are only weaknesses.... The only thing you need....is what has been given to you..... Limitless power.... Beyond you wildest dreams...."[/i]
"B-But...."
"No but's! Ugh..... You're such a waste of potential.... You act like a scared, confused child... You know you want it, Ava.... It feels good, doesn't it....? The more power you obtain... To feel your foes crushed under your power.... It felt good killing them..... Didn't it...?"[/i]

"N-No....! No! It's not the killing that makes me feel good.... It's....the.....power.... Yes, alright! Obtaining more power does make me feel good..."
"Well, well.... Finally... Haha.... They go hand and hand, Ava.... By crushing your foes, you will become stronger....."[/i]
"T-That doesn't mean I have to kill them..... We didn't have to kill that guy! I crippled him! He was no longer a threat!"
"Perhaps.... If that be the case.... Then why did you throw him back up for the guy....Gozu was it....? Haha, yes.... That's it.... Why did you throw him back up for this Gozu person to crush his skull, then? Hmm....? Why not tell him to stop his attack?"[/i]

After finally reaching the top of the tower Tyson fell down tot he floor in exhaustion. "DO you know how long it took me to get up here?" "Why yes I do...I counted actually ...Not like a cat has anything better to do up here" "A Cat? Whaa?" Looking up Tyson seen a cat holding a cane. "Well...this just adds to the cat...But um....I need to see your master Korin" Tyson said as he stood to his feet. "But I am Korin"
"Well nothing unexpected there ...I was sent here to be trained by you under master Roshi...He said that you could help me" Nodding and replying. "Right he was...here take his Nimbus and go out and catch me a red snapper"
"Is this like Training?" "No...I am hungry...Hurry up so we can start" Confused by the golden cloud Tyson leaped up into the air in hopes that it would catch him..Oddly enough it did so he took off towards the lakes.
