Gozu shuts the door behind him. "Alright I'm kinda hungry let's see if Elza won't make us something to eat while we talk. Couric you hungry? How bout you Julia?" Gozu asks as he makes his way to the kitchen.

"Sorry, the Cajabastard isn't good for my appetite, I don't feel too good..."
She'd awkwardly follow in to the house, feeling pretty crappy... there would be a few more things to mention in this post but the writer is tired.

"For once, no. I ate after I healed up." Couric replied, that being the truth. He had eaten quite a bit of food after he got out of the healing tank, having practically been starving once he healed. And that would actually explain why he had taken so long to get healed up and meet up with Julia before Gozu arrived.
/Whether or not that Cajabe was telling the truth...We should probably stick together for now./

"Ok then." Gozu says cheerfully as he makes it to the kitchen and asks Elza if she would make him something. Elza smiles and nods her head and starts to make one of her dishes and a lot of it knowing Gozu's appetite.

She sits down on the couch, and folds her arms... looking back up at Couric...
"So, he seems normal enough, though... maybe we should see somebody else about this... like one of those kais... remember when we bought those earrings?"

/Maybe...But would they really know something?/ He sat on the couch next to Julia, almost unable to resist the urge to just relax during his free time. But his will stayed strong and he just sat there, keeping tabs on 'Gozu's' ki in case he did anything.

Gozu walks in and sits down on a chair and holding a massive plate of some Genie cuisine which looked and smelled delicious. Gozu eats it rapidly practically inhaling the massive plate of food that could have easily fed 3-4 normal humans. Gozu pats his belly happily takes the plate in for Elza to wash thanks her and goes back and sits down reclining in the chair and sighs happily. "Much better."

After a short while...
"So, Gozu... how come you're like... a Super Saiyan again...?"
The writer of this post is still tired and won't write much.

Couric glanced towards the ceiling, something nagging at the back of his mind about the fact that Gozu was transformed when he hadn't been for the longest time. But he didn't mention anything for the moment...

"Oh....shortly after I went to the Planet of the Kais I had the old Kai undo the Mystic ceremony. It was good for a bit but it severely limited my progress so I went back to being normal." Gozu answers quite convincingly too

"I see..."
Julia thinks about it for a moment, and... it makes some sense... clear from her expression...
"That's it... I'll ask the old Kai... whoever he... is..."
Good luck with that plan, Julia.
OOC: BTW, I've pulled another 'just kidding' with Couric. I'll be restoring his account shortly. XD

"Eh? You had him undo it?" Couric asked, a bit surprised to even hear that. Of course, if what Cajabe had said was true, then this was obvious a lie.
"But how was it limiting your progress?" He was genuinely curious about that one. From what he remembered, Gozu had been far stronger once that occurred than he had ever been...

"Yeah they can undo the magic or whatever they did to draw out the power. Yeah it was a big boost at once but then my training became less and less effective then it had been when I was normal so I had him undo it and then I progressed faster and learned to hold Super Saiyan...2 I guess would be a good name for it...with next to no drain. Just like with Super Saiyan."

"So... with your 'unlocked powers'... locked up again... you get stronger...?"
Julia's been lost now... this ain't so convincing now that she thinks more about it, what with Couric's question about it...
"Focus on a kai... get out quick..."
And then, to Couric, with some urgency in her mental voice...
"Couric! Drop your ki down... and... be all lazy or something so it seems natural...
If this Gozu is the real one, he won't really care if we go off on some mission we never told him we'd go on... right? So it doesn't matter... let's just do it... I can get us outta here and he won't know where we are! Then when we find out that this is all some crazy lie by Cajabe and Gozu's safe after all, we can just come right back and I'll apologize... right...?"

Couric blinked in confusion, outwardly shrugging and deciding to go along with it. He knew if he showed a sign that he was suspicious, things could only get worse from there. And there was no way he was going to put Julia at risk.
/Right.../ He replied mentally, though he was becoming more convinced by Cajabe's story with each passing second. After all, he remembered just how he ascended past Super Saiyan...and how angry he had been when he had done so. And unless it involved Julia or someone real close to Gozu, he doubted that the older saiyan could manage to get that angry. But...somehow he had...So what did that mean? Did it really matter that Gozu had transformed somehow?
His power lazily began to lower...

"I wasn't stronger at first I got weaker but I progressed faster and once I reached Super Saiyan 2. It all evened out. Apparently that was a draw back of Mystic that the Kais forgot to tell me about. Big power boost all at once in exchange for incredibly slow training afterwards it just wasn't worth it." Gozu noticed the look of confusion in Couric's eyes and wondered what the shrug was about.

"I see... so it's a short term thing, but then you let out too much power and you lose the ability to get any further as quickly...?
Hmm... well I'm glad you did what was best, then."
"Actually, oh God... we can't leave him here alone... we're trapped... stuck here... the poor genies... he had to bring us to a planet inhabited by such good creatures... I mean, what about Elza?! She's been so kind to us..."

"I guess I get it..." Couric muttered, folding his arms across his chest as his ki continued to lower at a lazy pace, Julia's words still reaching him. Outwardly, he seemed completely calm and normal, but on the inside, he was absolutely annoyed with himself.
/If Cajabe was telling the truth, then 'Gozu' must have realized that this would be the perfect way to keep us from sneaking away.../ He realized, resisting the urge to utter an obscenity.
/At least we still have 'that' if he tries to get us apart.../ Couric reminded Julia.

"Yeah kinda since your base is so high it's that much harder to push yourself to that next level. So how bout y'all? Anything interesting happen in the....2 and half years since we've been apart?" Gozu asks keeping the act up and hoping one of them takes the bait he's really tired of explaining himself.

Julia found herself smiling...
"Oh yeah... the earrings... there's no way we could be separated with those to fall back on..."
Hopefully she was thinking of the same thing as Couric, otherwise she just embarrassed herself by bringing up a completely different thing.
"Nothing much... just trying to make myself stronger without powering up... the old fashioned way... y'know? But it's not really worked yet... I'm not as strong as I could be..."

Cajabe appeared stood in front of where Gozu was sitting... Oryan should be beside him, with his hand on Cajabe's shoulder.
And if Oryan really did make it, then...
"The game's over. You won't be hurting them, disease."
He stood facing Gozu, with his stance firm and unwavering; ready to fight.

/Yup..We have no problem if we need to use tho.../ His thoughts were cut off as he noticed a certain saiyan materialized in front of Gozu, his ki ceasing to lower. A look of complete confusion was on the teen's face, eyes a bit wide.
/Wha...What the hell!?/ His power lazily began to return to normal levels, having a bad feeling about what was about to follow.

Gozu's eyes widen and he hops up quickly when he sees Cajabe just appear in the room. "Cajabe!? What are you doing here? And what are you talking about disease? Let Oryan go and leave now!" Gozu says his voice commanding and stern. The same voice that Gozu always uses when in a fight. Gozu begins to concentrate on Metamoria in case he needs to get away fast.

Oryan steps in front of Cajabe and looks Gozu in the eyes. "It looks like you retain some of the knowledge that the original had. That's a bit troublesome. Unfortunately for you, I know the truth. I was warned by the real Gozu, whom you killed. Your game is over, you fiend." Oryan stands ready for anything. He doesn't expect an attack since the numbers are against the evil Gozu, but still, there is always a possibility.

Julia found herself letting out a squeak as Cajabe appeared, curling up on the seat a little, but then relaxed...
"Phew... never thought I'd be glad to see him, of all people!"
She listens to Cajabe, to Gozu, and then Oryan...
"What...? Gozu's really...?"
"No..."
"You bastard liar!"
She found herself standing straight up to her feet, the couch being set on fire by a random spark from her body... Couric may want to get up, too...
"How could you?! You fake! Doing that and then trying to trick us! I knew something was wrong!"
She looks ready to cry, but she won't. Not yet. Not now. Particularly because someone doesn't cry too easily... someone who's about to take over...

He reaches out to push Oryan gently aside... using his left hand...
"Please, do not stand too close to him... I will face him alone..."
He turns to look over his shoulder and Julia and Couric.
"That means you guys, too... I don't want this spreading... I will end this, alone. I'm already infected... so I guess you guys may want to keep your distance from me, too... if it makes you more comfortable. Even though the disease isn't spread like that... but it never hurts to be careful."

Being already a bit more suspicious of Gozu than Julia was, the news that the real Gozu was dead, even if it was from someone he didn't know, was good enough... He got off the couch just before it started burning, his power raising to its highest point in this stage. A few green sparks began to shoot around Couric's form as he glared at the older saiyan.
"You..." He growled, no aura quite yet, though he could transform at any time with just a little bit more focus...and he was damn near ready to do soon enough. His fists were clenched tightly and he didn't even seem to hear just what Cajabe was saying...not a word.
"You...bastard...!" Several more green sparks. Words weren't going to do much good with Couric at this point...Not with how he got when he was mad enough...

Gozu looks towards Julia and Couric as his hair falls as well as his power. He powered down to base. "Come on Julia....you know me probably better than anyone. Look in my eyes and you'll know that I'm the real Gozu and that this is some crazy scheme by Cajabe..but if you still think I'm evil then...go ahead and kill me. Life's not worth it if my closest friends don't even trust me." Gozu says his voice kind and soft the same voice he used when Julia first met him all those years ago. Gozu then hangs his head and opens his arms out to the side open for whatever attack comes his way though secretly he locks on to Metamoria and can transmit away if need be.

"You're the worst kind of scum. You two, don't let him deceive you. I can take you to the Planet of the Kais and bring the origianl Gozu to meet you. I don't know either of you and I've only met the original Cajabe once. How else would I be here to warn you other than the fact that I met the original Gozu. I trained with him and went on several of the Supreme Kai's missions with him. Trust me when I say that this one is a fraud." Oryan's eyes are narrowed on the evil one as Cajabe stands between him and the fiend. He's unsure why he can't sense the girl's power, but he's almost surprised when he senses the spike in Couric's powers.

A shudder runs through Julia's body...
"Gngh..."
She'd gotten so emotional that she let her power go a little too high... the Kat was out of the bag again...
"Hey... I'm back..."
She sniffs at the air... and turns around...
"Did I blow the couch up?"
She turns to Couric, and then Gozu... Cajabe... Oryan...
"Hey, why's everyone so tense? And... more importantly... why isn't the tension directed at me like it always damn well is?"
