Darkness Falls [Frieza]

[Gabriel]

Fallen. Broken. Simply...dissolved into an incomplete thought. An empty shell cracked and disfigured. With no remorse she has received her punishment. With no disdain she had been blinded by the darkness and absolution of irrefutable logic. With no haste she awaits the coming Armageddon, the ever approaching judgement day. Vengeance tastes so sweet in a goblet filled to the brim and in this blackness, she awaits.

Silvered eyes snapped open, a body bare and sprawled amongst the darkened cavern twitched with barely conscious vulnerability. Nails scraped against the damp rock and her body twisted, lips curled backwards, pulling over her teeth in a venomous snarl as she struggled to prop herself up. Alert and aware, glowing iris's scanned the darkness. For the second time she was cast from familiarity, for the second time she awoke with little to no recognition of how she had wound up here. Disoriented, and estranged she rose to her thin height. The pair of jeans and the low hanging tank top she had been about to put on lay beside her and quickly she moved into them.

Stalking to the front of the cave, stumbling only mildly as she did so, she had to shield her eyes from the burning light of the sun. She blinked back the moisture gathering in the corners of her eyes and gazed at her surroundings She stood a top a mountain of stone and below her spanned forests as far as the eye could see. A cruel scowl covered her mouth. Where in the hell was she?

Crouching low, her flesh trembled as her wings released into the air spanning massively to either side of her, before she lifted straight off the ground and vanished into the sky above.

[Lord Frieza]

Meanwhile, the tyrant looked to the outside the head window as he sat in his hover chair, sipping red wine. He was a bit confused as he had begun to realize that he wasn't quite where they were supposed to be. He was meaning to go to a Planet near the Milky Way, only he ended up in a place he's never seen before and that's rare. He has a vast knowledge of the planets that are out there as he takes after his father, but he's never been in this location.

"Zarbon..." he called out lightly, waiting for his right hand man to respond. "Yes, ma'lord" Frieza, still looking outside began to boil, but as usual he kept his composure. "Please tell me, that you didn't change course.." Zarbon, he was surprised that Frieza would ask that, he would never betray Lord Frieza, he has no intentions of being killed. He's been loyal to the Cold family for years. "Lord Frieza, I would never...." Zarbon took a look outside and noticed that he's never been there either. He's never heard of it, and so he shook his head in disbelief. "Where....where are we?" asked Zarbon. The tyrant paused for a moment before answering him. "I don't know....but if you want to live, you had better find out." The self-proclaimed ruler of the universe wasn't about to let his plans be ruined because of a change in course.

Zarbon eyes widened, he knew it would not be a good idea to question him. "Yes, Lord Frieza." he said before taking a bow and leaving his chambers and shortly, making his way down the hallway getting ready to take his leave out of the ship.

[Gabriel]

Powerful wings kept her suspended high above the earth... or at least what she presumed was earth. The earth she knew was not covered in so much of mother nature, but rather a whirling vortex or iron wrought steel towers, and concrete. A dismal existence compared to the one she viewed now from the skies, but one she deemed home never-the less. Irritation and mild aggression began to settle within her soul as she could find no semblance of human populace. Was this her true punishment, not only banished from Earth but from everything she ever held familiar? This hellish rock wasn't earth, this plane wasn't supposed to exist, had they thrown her into an alternate dimension, did such a thing even exist?

A glint of silver caught her eyes and she came to a hover, wings beating furiously to hold her in place as she starred at the alien spacecraft hovering plainly in the sky. Her eyes narrowed, fierce and aggressive, if it was technological and moving, someone had to be on board. One beat, two, three, and she had traveled the vast distance in the matter of a few scarce heartbeats, but there was no entrance. She landed with a heavy thump on the top of the contraption, massive wings wrapping in an arch, almost framing her like some ancient Heathen God. Rolling her shoulders and cracking her joints, she found one of many windows and drove a fist right through it.

A rather pitiful looking creature nearly wet himself as she dropped through the opening, wings curling against the long hallways, attempting to fit in the now over-crowded space. "Where am I? And who the hell are you? Her voice was low but the threat hung in the air. "Z-Z-Zarbon.... and uh... um.... FRIEZA!!" With that the creature tore off, back down the hallway and Gabriel huffed, wings quivering as he scampered away obviously terrified.

...perhaps she should have handled that better.

[Lord Frieza]

Even though Zarbon isn't one to run from a fight, he had noticed that she had a high power level indeed through the handiness of his scouter. He needed to get back to Lord Frieza right away to tell him of who, it, or what he had seen. Even though it was quite obvious that it was a she, but Zarbon would not dare admit that there could be anyone as beautiful as himself. Zarbon may not be gay but one would think he was as he's always about his beauty.

However, it is truly something worth nothing that Zarbon is one of Frieza's most powerful henchmen, especially when he transforms into his ugly form, the form he dreads of ever having. That's gotta say something for sure, when someone with a maximum power level of 34,000, would flee from another being. Even though to Frieza, Zarbon's power level is pathetic compared to his.

Zarbon zoomed back to Lord Frieza's chambers and at first he wasn't sure what to say. He took a moment to gather his thoughts and put his words together. "Lord Frieza, there was this winged creature, she just busted one of the windows and...." said Zarbon with an exhale before being interrupted. "Zarbon, don't tell me that you're scared." he said followed by laughter. Zarbon's eyes widened again and with that, he regained his composure. "Uh, uhmmm, no. I'm not scared...why would I be?.." Frieza shook his head in disbelief.

"You know Zarbon, I'm surprised by your performance as of late. Usually, you can handle a simple task." Frieza turned around taking a moment to scan the entire ship with his scouter for her power level. "Zarbon, I'm going to go welcome our guest. Stay here.." said Frieza before hovering out of his chambers in his hoverchair. He could fly if he wanted to, but he just felt like relaxing. He followed her power level and made his way to the winged creature. "Well, hello there. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lord Frieza...." he said with a smile.

[Gabriel]

She willed herself to relax, to breathe. She was somewhere foreign but it didn't exactly smell like sulfur and brimstone. She hadn't fallen so far to wind up in the claws of hell. Perhaps this was a test? A chance for redemption? She nearly snorted. There was no way in she would ever be welcomed back to heaven. She was a traitor, had unleashed the demons of hell upon the world because she had been beyond the capacity of emotions. She had nearly brought upon the Apocalypse.

Possibly, crashing through the window of some alien species wasn't the wisest of ideas, she wasn't here on a mission of retribution. She no longer served anyone. She had no plan, no scheme, no duty save her own emotions and desires and perhaps she should have followed the creature before pondering why she even existed anymore... But apparently she had remained still and silent too long for another approached her. Whatever it was it was purple. Most assuredly not a human.

With confidence and a cocky air about him, she studied him silently, her wings, far too large for this cramped space, curled and hugged the walls, stretching entirely up to the cieling and folding back down. They had a mind of their own, feathers ruffled and shook, sections twitched spastically... This was ridiculous, she felt like a canary shoved inside a shoe box. The purple alien introduced himself. Very deep, very masculine, definately male. Silver eyes slid shut and she focused, the wings retracting, sinking into her back. A few multi-hued feathers fell uselessly to the ground and vanished into dust. She cracked her back and involuntarily shivered, she hated trapping her wings.

"Can you tell me where we are? Im supposed to be on Earth... I have a dreadful feeling i am no where near my home. Forgive my lack of manners... I am disoriented." The dame dropped to one knee lowering her head in a bow and remained there. "It tis an honor to meet you Lord Frieza. My name is Gabriel." Her mouth opened to say more, but quickly she remembered that her title had been stripped from her alongside her rank. She had naught but a name anymore.

(OOC: I think it would be utterly hilarious if Zarbon tried to hit on her after Frieza realizes he has feels for her. I wonder how fast he would run from Frieza... XDD)

[Lord Frieza]

She looked upon him, asking him where they where. However, that was a question that he himself could not answer. He also had no idea where they were, all he knew was that he remember his father, King Cold hundreds of years ago telling him of a place like this, but he never did get the name of it. He remained quiet and allowing her to speak, his purple lips forming a smile as she took a bow. She was not scary at all, she was very respectful toward him and well mannered.

A strong warrior like Zarbon shouldn't ever react that way, but then again it was the first time that he had done it. He actually thought Zarbon's reaction was quite humorous, which he needed because he wasn't too happy finding out that somehow they had changed course. At first, he thought maybe one of the operators made a huge mistake. It's a good thing he found out they had nothing to do with it, because if not he would have killed every one of them. This woman was strong, very strong for an Earthling. However, seeing her wings it donned on him, there was absolutely no way that she could be an Earthling.

"Why thank you...No, I'm not sure where we are." he said, looking into her eyes. "I apologize, I don't intend on changing subject but let me ask you...You're not an Earthling are you? I scanned you're power level and it's beyond the charts of even the strongest Earthlings. Not to mention, I never knew an Earthling with wings." he said with a raspy tone. He waited for an answer, this had to be a good.

(Lolololol, that'd be Hilarious. He'd be trying to climb the walls to escape lol)

[Gabriel]

She hadn't meant to startle the poor man so terribly bad, but these beings looked nothing like her. Perhaps here she was the alien, an odd pondering, she appeared like any other human when the massive wings weren't blocking out the sun. Possibly a bit more slender and pretty, but she was carved to be perfection... she couldn't very well be anything less. The only blemishes that marred her were the oddly colored feathering of her wings. Once a vibrant, almost blinding white, the base of her feathers were the only pristine white, the rest of the feather was a light grey that turned darker the farther from the longer it grew, a symbol of her status as fallen, it left her once unblemished wings with an almost salt and pepper appearance... and left her open for all manner of ridicule from both angel and demon alike. She braced herself for this foreign encounter, not even aware if her kind existed here.

He took his time studying her so she did the same. There was an aura about him that was foreign, strange to her. It hummed with a power, an electricity she only found in the demons she fought or the angels she once called allies. She couldn't decipher the strength but she could assume he would make an admirable warrior, for now, at least, she would treat him with respect. This wasn't her Earth, and it wasn't her place to assume she was the one manifesting all of the power. She rose to her feet once more, he didn't seem perturbed that she had shattered one of the windows... damnable temper. His words came with a deep relaxed baritone, answering her own questions with inquires of his own.

"Earthling? Do you mean a human? I come from Earth, but I fear not this one. This world is foreign to me." She murmured, voice lowering in both pitch and intensity, if this wasn't his realm either, just whom did it belong too? "I am no human if that's what your inquiry means, but I protect them or at least I used too, before I was cast from Heaven's grace. I am fallen angel, and what may I inquire are you?" Her wings itched, begging to be released, but it seemed pointless in a space so cramped and small.

((I'm so sorry Frieza don't kill me!!! We have to do that later!! It would be so funny!!))

[Lord Frieza]

She asked him what he was and considering she answered his question, he thought it was only fair to return the favor. "Well, since you asked politely.." he then took a short pause before continuing. "As you already know, I am Lord Frieza and I hail from Planet Cold.." he said lightly looking into her eyes. Her eyes weren't like any other that he had ever seen, they seemed to tell a story. It seemed to pour out her feelings and all that she had been through, he wasn't sure if she knew that.

What he knew was that they both were unsure of where they were, but he knew it would be easier if he had assistance in getting to the bottom of all this. "Seeing I'm not the only one confused, I have a proposition for you. Why don't you make yourself at home, working in pairs is better than working alone." However, Frieza had already begun to think of the things that he could do since he was already here. He was thinking of wiping the planet of all life and making it into another base, either that or just destroying the planet altogether. He wanted to see if the planet was worth anything first.

Frieza turned his head only to see one of his soldiers walking past one of the halls, so he he called for him. "Appule....get Gabriel a scouter...." Appule, nodded and took a bow before running off to the tech room, grabbing the first scouter he seen. He came back with it, before extending his hand out to Gabriel to give it to her. Frieza looked at Gabriel and smiled. "Now, you will be able to scan power levels of each individual you see and be able to detect if anyone is near by." he would tell her how to use it but considering it has one button and it goes over your eye, he felt she could figure it out with ease.

[Gabriel]

She got the strangest inkling that he was mocking her as he answered her question, but shrugged it off. Perhaps such was customary from where he was from. It was bizarre not knowing about a species. On Earth, she knew everything, from the frailest of insect to the strongest of elephants, there was not a single concept outside her grasp of knowledge... was this confusion? Planet Cold? Did such a place truly exist? "You called me something a..." She struggled to remember, eyes darting away and then back as her brain supplied the word. "Earthling was it? I'm assuming that means a human, what do you refer to yourself as?" Curiosity gleamed in the depths of silvered eyes.

Confusion and mild surprise lit her face at his request, almost childishly, her head tilted to the left, studying him thoughtfully, an almost invisible smile, quirking the corners of her mouth. A servant, obvious quite terrified of the being before her, did his bidding fast enough to make her want to chuckle. She remembered when angels would move like that for her. At one time she had been the pinnacle of what an angel should be. How far the mighty fall... The gadget was placed in her hand and quickly she assumed the clear bit of pink fit above one of her eyes while the other slid nicely around her ear.

"I fell from Heaven, the greatest plane of them all and you want me to work for you? How do you know you can trust me?" It wasn't a challenge or a dare, mere curiosity. Demons and angels alike spit upon her, she was a traitor and amongst the humans... well she may as well have been neon green with pink polka dots for how well she blended with them. She had spent the last decade or so alone. She had no allies anymore, and for what they deemed good reason... so why should he trust her?

[Lord Frieza]

He usually refers to himself as the most powerful being in the universe, however, she didn't want to know that, she was just curious as to what was the name of his species is. "I'm an Icarian." he said lightly. However, where he came from was the last of his thoughts right now. His mind was full just trying to find a logical answer about all this that sounds accurate. Throughout his many years of travel, he has never once ended up at the wrong destination. The ships controls along with the operators in the control room has always been top notch. He had a feeling this was not a mistake, something had brought them here, but how and more importantly, why?

It all happened too fast. It was like one moment he was on his way to somewhere else and somehow he got warped to this random Planet. He started to wonder if it was even more complex than that. Was he in a different galaxy, dimension, or realm? It happened out of nowhere, but Frieza didn't care. Nothing was going to stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Frieza always gets what he wants, even if it means putting a beam in someones heart.

He remained quiet as his thoughts clouded his brain, finally he came to when she started speaking again. She wanted to know if he could trust her, and with that another smile formed upon his face. He chuckled. "I can assure you, there's no worries on my part." That was just Frieza being himself, cocky. To him, no one was as powerful as he was. In his mind, everyone elses power compared to his own weren't anything to worry about. However, in this case, it's different. He looked into her eyes once more and could see each side of her, he trusted her believe it or not, but he wouldn't openly admit it.

[Gabriel]

He answered her briefly, a mere mention of his species and nothing more. He hadn't pried into her life and so now she repaid the favor. Mulling the word over in her head she hummed. "Icarian." She murmured the word, tasting it upon her tongue... unusual but she liked it. She noticed, as she gaze through the soft blink glow of the screen across one eye, that his power levels were significantly north of what she assumed was normal. She wondered if her own powers could even be detected by such a strange device... so many questions, but then again she was immortal, she never aged, trapped forever in eternal youth.

His answer was vague and remarkably cocky. A crooked smile and a mischievous gleam lit the depths of her eyes. It was almost a challenge, and had she had just a touch more blackness in her heart, she would have accepted it, but contrary to common belief, even a fallen angel could never become their demonic counterparts, they would always be tied with some manner of decency. As it was, she shrugged. "Fair enough." She gazed at the window, nothing but endless forest met her gaze and her posture hardened.

" You are the first being I have encountered since I've arrived. I know nothing of what lies within those woods, but I intend to find out. We won't get very far sitting within your vessel and I suppose there's no time like the present. I assume I can communicate with you through the scouter? If you wish it, I will scout this planet... see what I can find." She was going to damn well be useful if she entered this alliance, all she needed now was his permission.

[Lord Frieza]

She asked if she could communicate with him using the scouter, he shook his head. "No, it is only used to detect power levels and beings near by but I'll have Dodoria go with you. It will make things easier. Whatever you find, you could always report back." Dodoria is one of Frieza's elite soldiers. Sure, he's nowhere near as strong as Frieza's Elite Squad known as The Ginyu Force, but he still is pretty strong.

He could tell that she'd do an excellent job scouting, seeing as unlike most humans, she could fly. "I know you will do well." he said with a grin. Frieza looked to the outside and his thoughts went haywire once more. However, once his eyes locked with hers again there was a silence between the two with the both of them looking at each other. To break the ice, he spoke once more.

"Scout Dodoria, he has a power level of 22,000. You will find him somewhere on this ship. Do tell him, he has been given a new task." Dodoria shouldn't be hard to miss. He is big, pink, and definitely wide. He can be ruthless when he wants to be, although his power level pales in comparisons to Lord Frieza. It was about time he gave Dodoria something to do as he's been asking him constantly for something new.

(( End this thread here? Have a time skip where they have been working together for a few weeks? Ill Start another one where she gets into a fight and Frieza shows up?))

[Lord Frieza]

((Sounds good to me. ))
