Return of the Black Emperor: A Deal is a Deal.

[Polar]

Polar had flown through space for about an hour until he found the small red moon that orbited Azurath. He landed and within a few minutes created a house out of boulders and looked toward the planet's surface. He then sensed the saiyan he was looking for and reached out to them, "Sebas... come find me on the Barrens of Rothg. I'm not here to fight... I just want to ask you a few questions is all. Come at me with hostility and I will return it in kind." Polar dropped his mental connection and waited for Sebas.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

When Sebas got home to Azurath, he couldnt wait to drop in his bed and fall asleep. Considering how much energy he used on Namek, a nap was in order. Before he could get there, his tail stood up and his whole body stiffened up. He heard a voice in his head and instant almost recognize it. He ran out of the palace, and made a beline straight for the Barrens.


When he landed, he stared directly at the frost demon who prevented him from saving his brother. But this time, he looked completely different; almost like the other frost demon he was fightning against. He clenched his hands into a fist and tried to keep his anger in check. "Get the hell away from my home. You've done enough!"

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas landed not far from him with clenching fists. Polar heard what he said and smirked as he said, "I'm not here to fight Sebas. As I said, I'm not here to fight, just ask question. Tell me how is Devlin doing?" He crossed his arms and waited for him to respond.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

His dark ki immediately manifested around him as he stared daggers at Polar. The anger that he was feeling was immaculate. He dares show up and asked him how his family was. And yet, there was a very tiny part of him that was curious. He could sense Devlin on Earth and powered back. "Hes on Azurath. But i thought he died."

[Polar]

Polar watched as the sinister aura shifted and appeared around Sebas and smirked. He could see the rage suddenly vanish as he knew the saiyan could sense Devlin. He smirked and said, "I made a deal with you during our fight. I told you that if you beat me, I'd returned Devlin to life. You beat me so I kept my word. Unlike Frieza most Frost Demons keep their words. Did you think I wasn't going to keep my word?"

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas could feel himself loosen up at the mentioned that Polar actually kept his word. But the anger was still swelling up inside of him. He could feel his nails digging into his skin as he was trying to keep himself in check. "Right. You did say that. Im a bit surprised that I remember that. Anyway, if that's all you have to say, you can leave."

[Polar]

Polar looked at Debas as he remembered the deal that was made and told him to leave and smirk. He stared at Sebas and said, "No!" Polar stared at Sebas and began to pace and continued, "I am going to be staying here or wherever you go to keep an eye on you. Don't need you losing your temper and nuking a planet because you stubbed your toe."

He stopped pacing and stared Sebas down and smirked. He then said, "If you have a problem with that then beat me in a sparring match. If you can't then I will do what I want. If you do then I'll keep an eye on you from afar and only get involved in a life or millions of death situation." Polar dropped down into a defensive stance and waited for Sebas to respond.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

When Polar shouted that no, he didn't look like it impacted him, but that voice caused his senses to start screaming out that Polar was dangerous. Still, he just listened to him, the feeling of wanting to hurt him was pushing back that initial fear. At the mention of beating him in order to make him leave, Sebas immediately got into an aggressive stance. "That's all huh? Just beat you and you'll be gone. Done. Besides, I still have to pay you back for what you to ME ON NAMEK!!" He rushes foward and starts an assault, throwing punches and kicks.

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas dropped into an aggressive stance and charged him. Polar was hit by the initial punch, but quickly followed the rampant melody of Sebas's assault. He dodge and weaved out of every hit and chuckled. As he did he said, "Is this all you have? You still disappoint me with your way of fighting. You lack discipline, control and most of all... YOUR SLOPPY!!!" Polar dodged behind Sebas as he brought his foot up and slammed it into Sebas's side and launched him into his newly made house. He grimaced and said, "Well that's disappointing."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas tries to hit Polar after that initial punch, but everyplace or kick was simply dodged. During that exchange, Polar was berating him. As he went for one last punch, Polar dodged it and slammed his foot into his side, causing him to fly and slammed into the house.

He was getting increasingly frustrated as he exploded out of the rubble. "You seem to forget one thing; I beat you before back on Namek! I can do it again!" His body bulked up as he went into his ikari form. He charged at Polar again. "So why don't you stand down..... AND LEAVE?!"

[Polar]

Polar watches as Sebas emerged out of the rubble and ascended into a familiar form he saw on Namek. The saiyan then charged him and as he came at him, Polar bitch slapped him and knocked him into the ground saying, "Don't think twice or you'll be dead in a second." Polar then jumped into the air and hovered above Sebas and then fell down slamming his knees into his back and said, "Turn your eyes from your hatred to reason." Polar then jumped up and wrapped his tail around Sebas's neck and lifted him up to s somewhat standing position. He stared Sebas in the eyes and said, "KILL YOUR PRIDE!!! Turn your fear to a weapon and don't you forget this."

Polar focused all his power and a sinister familiar black aura surrounded him and his eyes turned blood red. Suddenly two shadow hands appeared around him and held Sebas in place. Polar stared at Sebas and asked, "Are you going to let me take control? Are you going to let me break your soul? Do you think I'm the devil who came here to play games with you still?" Polar began to squeeze his shadow claws around Sebas.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas was about to him with everything he got when Polar calmly bitch slapped him across the face sending him to the ground. As he tried to stand up, he was slammed in the back and then grabbed by Polars tail, making him stand up. When he saw the familiar aura surround Polar, his face turned to shock. "Another one?!" Then he felt something squeezeing him from both sides and he realized it was claws he used before on Namek.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to yell but he just powered down. It was something uncharacteristic for him to do. "I see. So you have that power too. But do you really think that you truly know this gift? You merely adopted it." He closed his eyes and the claws began to slowly push back away from. "I was born in it, molded by it. You may have mastered it but you don't Understand it."

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas's rage quickly faded and he returned to his base form. He listened as Sebas spoke to him about not knowing anything about the dark power he was using. As Sebas stated that Polar had adopted the power while he born and molded by it. He felt his claws begin to release their hold on Sebas and smirked. The claws slammed back into Sebas as he said, "You think that you were around the original monster that you have power over me? My father fought him long before you were even a thought in the existence of the multiverse. Cumber tore off my father's horn and tail and infected them with his ki. Thanks to my father's unique cells, he was unaffected by the dark ki when he reattached his horn."

The claws were now firmly grasping Sebas, but it wasn't causing physical damage to Sebas at all. He stared at Sebas with intent as he said, "So when I was born, I was unaware of this curse... this burden that afflicted me. So when you say I adopted it, you are sorely mistaken. I was born with it and due to what I had endured, I began to utilize it for my own purpose. I attained the title Black Emperor because of this curse and I hate it. So before you begin to lecture me about this power, maybe you should get your facts straight, boy!" Polar continued to stare at Sebas as he waited for him to respond or react to what he had said.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

As Sebas began to push the shadow claws away, they immediately began to start squeezing on him once more. They didn't hurt him but he did find it quite annoying that he was still stuck. He didnt really struggle; he was more curious about what Polars story was all about. So he let him speak, trying yo get as much information as he could.

After Polar was done, Sebas just stared at him. "I see. So you weren't the only one who was born in that kind of hell hole. And here I thought I was the only one. Let me ask you this: if I really had control over my powers, don't you think that you or that other frost demon would still be alive? Or better yet, if I knew exactly how to fight, would I be stuck in this current situation?"

[Polar]

Polar was interested to see that Sebas stopped struggling against him and accepted that he was stuck. The smug look of the saiyan's face annoyed him at first until Sebas spoke about them sharing this hell together. He then heard the question Polar asked and smirked. He released the claws and said, "Even if you knew how to fight and had control over this curse, you'd still lose. At the end of the day, it all comes down to experience and I have five hundred years over your twenty five. Even if you mastered this ability, you'd still lose to me every time. The only way you could get stronger is if you learn from someone who knows how to utilize the dark ki. That is why I have come to challenge you and offer you my services as a tutor. Even if you decline my offer, I will still arrive and test your abilities to control the power and if you can't... I'll KILL you." Polar crossed his arms and waited for Sebas to respond.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

After Sebas was let go from the shadow claws, he landed softly on the ground. He crossed his arms as he listened to Polars unique proposition. After it was all said and done, two thoughts popped into his mind. On one hand, he could just say no. Then Polar would simply kill him and poof. He could be at peace and forget about everything. On the other hand, learning more about the dark ki was something interesting, especially since his desires to control this power was something he wanted.

After a moment of quiet, he sighed. "Alright. You've got a deal. Just don't think that I'm gonna enjoy this little arrangement."

[Polar]

Polar waited patiently for Sebas to give him an answer, knowing that this was the hardest decision for him. He smirked as he got the answer he was hoping for and gave a soft chuckle as his face mask disappeared and for the first time Sebas could see his face. He looked at Sebas and said, "You don't have to enjoy it. Now I want to see what you have learned in the twenty five years. Show me your ki and allow it to envelope you." Polar gave Sebas a little space as he waited for him to power up.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas let go of the frost demons, and he felt absolutely disgusted that he had to work with him. But his face didn't show this emotion. When he saw Polars true face underneath the mask, he was slightly suprised on how human he almost looked. At the mere mention of showing him the dark ki, he smirked.

He let loose the dark ki and the aura appeared. It always felt good in some way. To let the dark ki run wild like a violent storm, with no end in sight. To let everything around him to beg for mercy, to realize that there was no hope for survival.

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas smirked at his mentioning of showing the dark ki and knew this man enjoyed letting it out. He watched as the dark ki began to run wild and knew that Sebas had no idea what he was doing. He let out a sigh and said, "I'm already seeing a problem with the way you use the dark ki. You let it run wild instead of harnessing it fully. Let me guess you enjoy making everything and everyone around you despair?"

Polar let out his dark ki and it was controlled and surrounded around him, instead of going crazy. The rage of the aura was solely focused on him and no where else. He looked at Sebas and said, "This is what you are looking for, not what your currently doing. You wonder why the Azurians give you a wide berth and fear you. They are suppose to be the people you protect, but instead you make them run in fear. Not much of a guardian are you, boy?"

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas made his ki vanished after Polar made his comment gave him a nod. "Yes. Things being in despair is something i enjoy doing. Granted, ive only killed one person; but the screams of fear and horror were so.... exquisite." He remembered that first battle on Namek and remembered how liberating it truly felt to him. No worriea about his family stopping him, ans the person on the other side was weak.

He watched as Polar make his own dark ki appeared in a different way, but he already knew how to put that off. "Why should I care about the way people stare at me? I'm used to seeing those kinds of eyes, especially back on Planet Vegeta. They have had fear in their eyes but I knows the eyes of wanting me to die so well. I'm fine with being looked at like a monster. So long as they are safe, why care about improving my image?"

[Polar]

Polar listened as Sebas explained how he truly did enjoyed and relished making people around him despair. He gave a sigh and said, "So you don't care if the people you are meant to protect fear, but what about when it becomes your family? Your sister in law is pregnant and she won't want the child's uncle to be a stark raving mad man when he's around. You don't change the way you act and you'll lose the only thing you seem to give a damn about. Your family."

Polar stood there, staring at Sebas with a look of pity. How could one this strong be so inconsiderate toward those who only seek his protection. Either something in Sebas had to change or the man in front of him would have to find something worth more than himself. Polar turned his back on Sebas and said, "You act as if your the only one who has suffered in your family, but in the truth you never suffered like Ruba had. You were tortured by a demon and a monster and you think that entitles you to act however you please, but your wrong. Instead of acting like the world is against you and deserves despair, maybe you should follow in Ruba's steps and try and make it better."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas went quiet as Polar spoke. Each word he clung on to and each hit him right in his core. He could feel the anger boiling within, wanting to make him shut up. But it would only prove his point. He knew for a while that Rasha was pregnant, and he only knew somewhat of Rubas pain. But when he saw that look of pity, he almost lost completely control. It was a look only one other person gave him: his father.

"You don't think for one second that I want peace? Hm? That I wouldn't dream about not having Cumbers power coursing, pumping through my veins. Let me tell you something. There's not a moment since I've escape from that place that I didn't some form of peace, of acceptance. I've always wanted. But if I step down that path, I'll lose who I am now. I'll lose well... me. Because guess what? I don't what peace even is to me. I don't know friendship. Hell, I can't even feel the love and warmth that my family have given me since the day I came. They always tell me that they loved, but I don't understand why."

He turns away from him and looks out to Azurath. "Even now, Ruba, Rasha, Devlin and Teelo; despite the fact that they say these things to me, I can see it in their posture that even though they say they care for me, they look poised, ready to jump me. At times, I can't tell if they see me, or they see the shadow that Cumber laid onto me." He sighed and looked back at Polar. "I still feel him you know. Every moment, of every day. Every time i use this god forsaken ki, i feel it. The need for murder, to kill. I want to to release these feelings so much, but I know I can't. THAT is the peace I've come to known. The peace that my family is more than willing to end my very life. And the worse thing is:I would gladly let them.

[Polar]

Polar listened as Sebas spoke about how he desired peace, but felt it to be unobtainable. He listened as he explained his incapability to understand the love and affection his family gave him and how they would turn on him. He felt sorry for Sebas, but he knew he needed to hear the cold truth. Polar turned back toward Sebas and said, "My my aren't you a pessimistic bastard. In case you don't know what that word means Sebas... a pessimistic person has the state of mind of someone who always expects the worst. A pessimistic attitude isn't very hopeful, shows little optimism, and can be a downer for everyone else. To be pessimistic means you believe evil outweighs the good and that bad things are more likely to happen. Sounds familiar doesn't it?"

Polar turned away from Sebas again and shrugged as he said, "Why do you feel everyone is against you? Why do you feel that your family only loves you because of your relationship toward you? Why are you afraid of finding peace for yourself? The moment you can ask yourself these questions and give yourself an honest answer, that is when you'll finally realize you are your own worst enemy." Polar turned toward Sebas and crossed his arms.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas took in the words but was getting frustrated. After that confession, how could he simply brushed it off like it was nothing? How could he?! Sebas scoffed and crossed his arms. "You know what? Forget it. I'm done here." He started to head back towards his family, not wanting to deal with Polar again.

[Polar]

Polar watched as frustration flashed across Sebas's face, but disappeared quickly. He saw him cross his arms and begin to walk away and Polar smirked. He reached out his hand and said, "You can leave if you like, Sebas, but I'm taking this until you deserve it." Polar flexed his hand and watched as red and black energy began to float to him from Sebas. He smirked as he continued to take Sebas's dark ki and once he had it all in his hand he said, "There... feel free to return home now, but without what makes you what you are. Like you said without this ki your nothing so go forth and be nothing."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas was about to fly home when all of a sudden, he froze in place. He felt something reach into his deepest mind but could do nothing about it. He felt the dark ki, his ki slowly started to disappear from me. At first, he felt nothing but then he felt a tear come down his face. "What is this? This cant be real... can it?" As his ki began to live hilivthe tears became more frequent and new emotions became to swelling through the saiyans mind; the thoughts he was enjoying of nothing but destruction were slowly being enveloped by grief, of sadness and heart ache.

"No, don't do it! Stop!" He held his head as he tried to keep the dark ki within him. He tried to focus on his needs, but these new emotions were overlapping. "No! I can't feel these again!" Despite saying that, he knew there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. Then, something unusual happened. His mind began to flash back to previous moments of his life. The memory of the fight between Ruba and Devlin, causing the deaths of so many innocent people. The memory of him murdering that frieza soldier on Namek, her shill screams echoing in his ear. The look of fear from the Azurain people and the whispers. He heard all the whispers and screams on a continous loop.

He got down on his knees as they grew louder and louder with no signs of stopping. "NO!!!! ENOUGH!!!!" He screamed and cried out to the heavens, like a child begging for the pain to stop. With the scream that echoed all around him; his muscles swelled up, his hair stood up and turned golden. His aura changed to a golden glow but with a dark hue. He repeats the words stop over and over, unaware as to what's going on around him.

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas stopped in his tracks as he ripped majority of the dark ki from him. He watched closely as Sebas screamed out and clutched his head as if a spear was jammed into the top of his head. Finally he was going to get the truth from Sebas one way or another. Sebas demanded Polar stop, but this was the only way. As Sebas said he couldn't feel this way again, Polar said, "See the pain and destruction you have caused. FEEL THE DESPAIR AND DREAD YOU FEAR YOURSELF!!!"

Polar held his fist tight as he held on to the dark ki and raged to return to Sebas. He watched the saoyan fall to his knees and begged for it to end. He watched Sebas ascend to super saiyan with its still tainted aura while screaming for it to stop. Polar stood tall and said, "Why do you feel everyone is against you? Why do you feel that your family only loves you because of your relationship toward them? Why are you afraid of finding peace for yourself? I WANT THE TRUTH THIS TIME, SEBAS!!!!"

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas continued to scream as all he did began to pour into him. The gates were opened for him and he had no way on how to stop it. Everything felt so loud to him, that he barely heard Polar talk for a bit. It wasnt until he full out yell that Sebas heared him, but he could barely concentrate. "Maks it stop! Someone please make this stop! I don't want this anymore! I don't want to feel like this! I know what I did was wrong, but I didn't know anything else! I couldn't feel anything! I'll do better next time, so please just stop!"

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas coward on the ground begging for mercy as he felt all the pain he had caused recently. When Sebas had ignored his questions and begged for the dark ki back, Polar became furious. He walked over to the front of Sebas and kick the saiyan flat onto his back. Polar stepped on Sebas's chest and said, "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, BOY!!! WHY DO YOU FEEL EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU?!?! WHY DO YPU FEEL YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THEM?!?! WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF FINDING PEACE FOR YOURSELF?!?! ONCE YOU TELL ME THE TRUTH WILL I GIVE YOU THE DARK KI BACK!!!" This was a lie. Polar planned on taking in Sebas's dark ki and forcing Sebas to live with his newfound emotions.

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas was kicked from behind and was laying on his back. He stopped screaming to stare up at Polar and was asked a bunch of questions. He took a breath and looked up again. "BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF OK?! I FUCKING HATE MYSELF AND WANTED TO DIE WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING! SINCE IVE BEEN BORN, THERE HASNT BEEN A MOMENT WHERE I DIDNT SCREW UP, THERE WASNT A POINT IN MY LIFE WHERE I WASNT A NUSIANCE TO MY FATHER OR BROTHER?! YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT TOLD BY MY FATHER?! I'LL NEVER AMOUNT TO NOTHING! I WAS LUCKY TO BE EVEN CONCEIVED, LET ALONE BEEN BORN! I AM NOTHING BUT A DISGRACE TO THE VEGETA NAME!"

He breathed heavily as just saying this was almost knocking the wind out of him. "I SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL AND WHAT DID IT GET ME?! NOTHING BESIDES TORTURE AND EXPERIMENTS FOR 24 YEARS OLD?! OH, AND THATS NOT EVEN THE WORSE PART! THE WORST PART IS I MISSED IT! I MISSED BEING WITH THOSE TWO! DESPITE THE FACT OF ALL CRUETLY IVE EXPERIENCE, THOSE TWO WERE THE CLOSET THING TO A FATHER FIGURE IVE EVER GOTTEN!!! I MISS THE EVIL SAIYAN THAT DESTROYED OUR RACE!!!"

he coughed afterwards since the feeling he was getting was getting worse for him. "That's why I can't... no. That's why I don't pursue peace. That's why I think my family hates him. How can I say that they love me, when I secretly missed the saiyan that not only wiped our race, but caused one saiyan to be reincarnated and it was the one who fought him in the first place? How can I find peace, when it feels like my very existence caused him and my brother so much pain?"

[Polar]

Polar watched as all of the frustration and sadness erupted from Sebas at once. Listing to him explain his hatred toward himself and how he felt toward those who had captured him had taken Polar aback. He listened intently as Sebas explained how he missed his oppressors and how they made him feel loved in a way. He listened as Sebas explained why he felt his family, especially his brother, hated him. Polar kept his foot on Sebas's chest and said, "Look at you... its the first time in twenty four years that I wager you've felt emotion like this. Now you feel the way everyone else does and that terrifies you. So instead of me training you how to utilize the dark ki... I'm going to let you return to your family and show them how you truly feel, but I'm keeping this."

Polar placed the mass of dark ki in his hand against his chest and began to absorb it. He inhaled deeply and felt the darkness creep over him. After a moment or so, he felt his body tighten as it strained against the dark ki, but forced himself to consume it into his own. He opened his eyes and stepped off Sebas and walked back to the crumbled ruins of his home. He stopped and looked back at Sebas and said, "Now go home and be with your family. Now you get to live like the rest of them... Now you get to live like a mortal and we'll see how you fair doing that, boy."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas waited for the dark ki, like Polar said he would. He was more than happy to be willing to forget these emotions, to be back to where he was before. However, Polar made an remark about the fact that this was first time he felt anything in 24 years. And before he could object, he watched as his dark ki was absorbed by Polar and as far as he knew, it was gone.

He was left mortified as he gotten off of him and went back to his damaged house. Sebas got up and his thoughts were all over the place, unsure as to what to do next. Without thinking, without caring, he ran over to Polar and bit him on the tail.

[Polar]

Polar was preparing to fix his house when he felt a stinging pain on his tail. He looked behind him and saw Sebas with his jaw locked on his tail. He lifted Sebas up and said, "Do you know what a pimp slap is, Sebas? No? Here let me show you." Polar reached his hand across his body and swung it back with tremendous force as the back of his hand connected with Sebas's cheek. The force of the hit dislodged Sebas's jaw from his tail and sent him tumbling across the ground. Polar looked at Sebas and said, "Attack me again and I'll make it to where you can only drink out of straw from the foreseeable future."

[Sebas Bloodborne]

Sebas continued to bite down on Polars tail. He wanted him to honor the deal that he would give him back his dark and all the power that came with it. However, he was lifted up and was given a pimp slap that sent him flying and sliding on the ground. He gets up ans realized that his jaw was dislocated but without even thinking about it, he pushes his jaw back in place.

He stares at him for a moment before he ends up flying back home.

[Polar]

Polar watched as Sebas got back on his feet and fixed his jaw quite barbarically before heading home. As Sebas flew away, Polar looked down at his hand and said, "I didn't mean to hit him that hard... so the dark ki I got from Sebas increased my strength this much then. Not going to lie, I like this power up greatly. Now to fix this dinky little hut so I have somewhere to stay... What a drag." Polar scratched his head and began to rebuild his home.
