But Nai doesn't even need to power up. He can already feel his ki level slowly rising before what it was at before. "Wow..." Nai says, holding his hands out and looking down at them. "What is this new power?" "It is the extra power the Ancient Way has given you for overcoming one of your obstacles."

"It's not a significant increase," Nai comments, a tiny bit disappointed. "True. But should you find yourself unable to use your greater powers, this will better protect you against fighters who are able to use great power." Nai nods agreeing. "What is next?" "I will now inform you of your ancestry... This will cause you great pain and disappoint you..."

Nai is prepared. Knowing that his father was a killer caused him enough pain, after being brought up and raised with Namekian ideals. Now he has much more to be disappointed about, knowing that his entire ancestry was perhaps worse! He braces himself.

"Nai... do you know who Lord Slug was?" Guru asks. Nai closes his eyes. He has some vague memory of an evil Namekian who went to Earth, destroying its life. "Yes... I feel connected to him for some reason. Wait... does that mean!?"

"He is not your ancestor. However, his father gave birth to multiple sons, and one of those sons are your ancestors. You are directly related to the pure evil Namekian. You are the descendant of the one Namek who is rarely born, whose purpose only is to inflict evil. In fact, you are inherently more evil than Demons, Saiyans and Changelings!" Nai's eyes widen in a terrible gaze.

"You see, Lord Slug was thought to be the only evil Namekian. But no... there are many that are scattered about the universe. They are simply smart enough to not attack the major planets. But that does not mean they are weak! Now, they are easily one of the most powerful in the universe. And one day Nai, they will come looking for you. They will want to bring you back to be the outcasts of the peaceful, Namekian race!"
Nai's actually starting to feel a little scared and shocked.

"The Ancient Way is meant to save warriors who suffer under terrible circumstances. You are one of those warriors, Nai. When our strongest warriors killed your father, he reproduced and had you. Realizing that you had great power due to your inherent evil, we wanted to raise you to be one of us... not one of them!"
Nai nods, realizing how lucky he is to have been treated differently than his ancestors.

"Ultimately Nai, the Ancient Way is a test to see if you can be saved from your dire circumstances. If you fail this test Nai, I am afraid we will have to kill you!" Guru thunders, almost sounding completely malevolent.
Nai takes a few steps back, now starting to really fear for his life.

"We sent you on Earth to put you in an environment different than just the pure hearted Namekian race. On Earth exists a mix of good and evil, with all people in between. There, we would be able to determine whether or not you have been taking our teachings to heart."
Nai feels better now, knowing that he was not actually failing from the very beginning.

"When you fought the armies on Earth, however, we started to lose faith in you." Nai immediately has flash backs of brutally killing soldiers, even enjoying hearing their screams as he painfully killed them.

"Your motives for protecting the Earth did not impress us, either," Guru speaks with an almost condescending tone. I did it only to become stronger. If I couldn't help a planet, why would I be able to conquer the Ancient Way?

"As time went on however, you did find other motives for protecting the Earth. While not much better, they were a step in the right direction," Guru's tone is less condescending. Earth prospered because of it's current state. If it suddenly got destroyed, it would be useless to everyone. Especially to myself, I wouldn't have gotten stronger!

"When you spoke to the human leader responsible for the deaths, you showed the signs of someone with good intentions." I told him that if he prospered because of Earth, he should cooperate with it and not destroy it in order to restart it with his ideas.

"You then mercilessly killed soldiers, just like you have been before. However, somehow you managed to snap out of it, and you stopped killing them. You spared them, which is something someone evil would not do." It would only help him... and I did not agree with just killing people to advance. It just doesn't make sense. When he sent his soldiers at me, I eventually had to stop doing his work for him.

"One thing that separates you from many in the universe is your lack of emotion." Since Nai doesn't quite experience emotions, he's not entirely sure of what Guru is talking about. "However, you do not understand what I am talking about. Do you remember the moments of fear and anxiety?"

"Yes..." Nai nods. "Those are feelings... states of mind that you are put through in order to respond to certain situations. Due to your conflicting nature of good and evil, you have lost most of your ability to experience these states of mind."

"This will allow you to make judgements based on your thinking, and not uncontrollable states of mind. This is potentially more dangerous, because it means all your decisions are based on your logic. If your logic is faulty, then your decisions will be destructive and catastrophic."
Nai realizes how powerful this advice is. He listens ever more intently.

"Nai, had another Namekian gone through the same test you did, with your same circumstances but without your neutral personality, they would have fallen and broken apart after hearing of their ancestry. You however, have remained unphased. You were scared at the beginning, but you recovered quickly."
Nai continues to listen.

"Had we put anyone inherently evil or neutral in nature through your battle with the Namekians, the Namekians would have died, even if I told them to not kill the Namekians and keep their weights on. You listened to my orders without having second thoughts. You immediately changed your strategy without desiring to kill them."

"As you fought the battle, you kept your attention on defending yourself and trying to find a way to knock the Namekians unconscious. You were in perfect control of yourself, and you did not allow your evil nature to cloud your judgement."
Nai actually smiles, realizing that he is, in fact, going to succeed on the Ancient Way.

"You did not once ever stop to think about how you could kill the Namekians. No... You had focus... you had confidence! Nai, we were not expecting you to succeed out on the battlefield. Those Namekians were frightened that they were going to die!"
Nai's expression falls back to a straight face.

"However, I knew that if you had your weights off, you would have easily spared them. But I needed to put you through a more difficult situation. I needed to see if you really did take our lessons to heart. You didn't even get angry. Nai, you have proven to the entire universe that you have been saved from the evil of your ancestors! Nai, you have passed!"
Nai's in shock... He thought this day would never come. His eyes are in a wide gaze at Guru. He succeeded were all but one have failed.

The bodyguards standing side by side to Guru clap. Smiling and as enthusiastic as ever, Guru speaks, "Nai. Remove your weights, and feel the power that the Ancient Way has now bestowed upon you!"
Nai throws off his cape. Immediately, he feels a rush of energy flowing through his every limb. Feeling the need to release it all, Nai forces a loud kiai. A swirling gust of wind gathers around him, and slowly grows, like a tornado! Through the gusts of wind, traces of red energy can be seen getting larger.
Soon, Nai is encased in a flaming, red, tornado. Still making a loud kiai, his ki grows ever more powerfully. The bodyguards and Guru watch Nai, smiling as he has unlocked a new power. Nai stops kiaing, and the aura relaxes, encasing Nai in a fireball just his size.
"The Ancient Way..." Nai smiles, muttering under his breath. His voice now begins to fill all the empty air around him, "Has been UNLEASHED![/i]"

"So Guru... what now? I have conquered the Ancient Way. What is there left for me to do?" he then asks. "I fear that the universe will no longer be peaceful soon. You are to become one of my bodyguards." Nai nods. "Yes Guru. I will let the villagers know." Nai flies out of the chamber.

Nai flies back into the chamber. Letting his aura fade, he powers down. He puts on his weighted cape and stands to the side of Guru. "You will not be at my side forever. I'll frequently allow you to venture around Namek, and even visit other planets. For the time being, I need you at my side." Nai nods. He stands with his arms crossed for now.

A crimson comet could be seen rocketing towards the tower, as Ava makes her way here from the village. Heading for the entrance, he aura bursts into nothing, and she lands softly just in front of two Namekian guards that were stood on either side on the entrance. Ava smiles upon landing, looking down at the ground for a moment....
"Good, I'm getting the landing part under control. Just have to expel my ki before I go crashing down..."
The two guards look on at Ava, the one on the left speaking....
"Who goes there!? This place is sacred! This is the tower of Guru! Only those who have had his permission may come here!"
Looking up now to the guards, Ava nods and responds....
"Um.... Yes, I was told to come here by Guru. At least, that's what Nai told me..... My name is Ava... I'm here to see Guru and Nai."

The Namekian on the left looks shocked by this....
"N-No way! There's no way someone like you knows our great warrior Nai! This is some sort of trick! You're trying to attack our Guru!"
He seemed, unusually hostile for a Namekian.... Obviously taking his job too seriously..... He stepped forward at that, blocking the entrance to the tower. An orange aura began engulfing his body as he lowered his stance and focused on Ava....
"I won't let you harm our father! Be gone alien! This is no place for you!"

Ava's eyes widened at that, sensing his ki....
"Wow.... You can mask your ki output....? It seemed a lot lower just a few moments ago.... Impressive... Still, it won't be enough.... Come now, I have no reason to lie to you. If that were the case, I wouldn't even be talking to you right now... You and your friend would already be dead if I came here to attack Guru.... Please don't do this... Just ask Nai or Guru. They're both inside, they can tell you I'm telling the truth...."

"W-What?! Not enough?! Why you arrogant little.....!!"
His aura bursts out at that and he begins flying toward Ava... She sighs at this, preparing to defend herself before they both hear..... "STOP!!"
The Namekian guard's aura fades, and he stops just before reaching Ava... Ava drops her guard at this, both of them looking to the guard on the right now, who had not said anything this entire time until now. Looking to his partner, he speaks.....
"This isn't our way, brother... She has the right to be tried before she is judged.... Now, go and ask Guru if he did infact send for the girl..."

"B-But....! Can't you tell she's lying, brother?! Let me put the alien in her place!"
"No! Do what you are told! Go and ask Guru! Now!"
The Namekian grunts at that, though he was obviously a subordinate of the calm Namekian... Looking back to Ava, he speaks...
"You luck out for now.... But, if you're lying.... You'll pay...."
He then turns away from her, heading inside the tower...
