::The quiet Orinian pushed out of his home with a quick turn of the knobs, now only a few feet behind Tama as he looked down from atop the short steps. Just beyond the devil was Taliman - bearing the evil blade - with the large Saiya-jin that he'd felt a moment ago. He is a big fellow, Deity remarked, never actually having encountered Cado in person thus far. Like most things, as big as he might have seemed at a distance, he was much bigger close up. His power was big, too - compared to a human it was monstrous, sure, but even suppressed as it was Deity felt an inkling of the brute's strength. Bodyguard my foot, he thought - he's a one-man army.
Deity lingered in the doorway for a moment, his arms outstretched to hold the portal open as he looked out. With a long sigh that visibly inflated his lungs to their capacity, he stepped forward and released the doors, ensuring first with a quick look over his shoulder that nobody was coming out right after him. As they swung shut behind him the tall boy stepped down and around Samayou, giving him a slight nod. He didn't know what was said between them, but the look on Tali's face indicated that the two had been exchanging words the very instant Deity ermerged from the tower.
He stopped at a point just far enough from Samayou to consider himself between the man of black and Taliman. He didn't dawdle long before speaking up first, bringing up the most obvious thing, in his mind, regarding what was about to happen.::
...we can't fight here.
::He didn't explain why, but then again he didn't feel he needed to. While large, this area was cluttered, and Deity personally didn't like fighting in a forest. A clearing would be best. Considering the combatants, no matter where they fought the Earth would be shaken up quite a bit - so the best they could do was to at least pick a spot without any innocent bystanders close by.::

Jade didn't realize that her tensions would upset Chrissy so. She knew the other woman was rather sensitive, in the limited encounters they had had, but obviously she was far more in tune with emotions and the stress of the situation around her.
Watching as Deity opened both the doors, with almost an unconscious dramatic flare, Jade tried to remain as calm as she could. It was a duel, a showdown between the Wesley brothers. Unless someone did something stupid, no one else was going to get hurt. Physically, anyways.
Once her love was outside, and the doors shut behind him, the Saiya-jin woman turned towards her nephew and his girl. "Don't worry Chriss-chan, we'll be alright. This is something between Deity and his brother, and it's been coming for a long time. Nothing is going to happen to us."
She smiled, though one could tell it was a bit forced. Sure, nothing would happen to them. But if Deity died, then Jade's world would come crashing down around her, along with the life of the Club itself. If Taliman died, then the entire Orinian system would be thrown into some disarray, and Satomi and Ren would be hurt. Either way, someone would suffer after the fact.
Jade held down the urge to chase after Deity. The time to wait was almost over, and the thought of the life and death battle coming made her heart beat faster. Soon enough, this would all be over with. For better or worse.

::Unks was standing in one of the trees surrounding the entrance of Club Orion. He felt a lot of energy levels inside the club itself. Some he knew very well, others he hasn't felt in a long time, and some he didn't know at all. His ice blue eyes shifted to the direction that Tali and his Brute of a Saiya-Jin Bodyguard Cado's energy level.
He sighed softly when he felt even Deity's energy level present. He let out a soft low sigh and looked between the club and Taliman. "So the time has finally come. Has it?" The Saiya-Jin Prince thought to himself.
Unks then felt and saw the Black Devil Tama come from literally nowhere. He listened in to their quick conversation taking in all of it. He looked to Cado and watched him closely. Once the conversation was over he knew his energy level had to have been felt by now so he jumped out of the tree and looked towards the Club to see Deity.
He walked passed him and gave him a quick nod and a pat on the shoulder and speaking softly so Deity could hear him.
"Good luck and be careful Deity. We've got your back if you need it my friend. We won't let you or Jade lose one another."
With that said Unks walked to the club to enter nodding to Tama as he passed him. Unks entered the club and found his lovely wife talking to Merena and he saw the little ones running around. He looked at Jade, Kenta, and his girlfriend Chrissy. The boy walked to his wife::
"It seems the s**t has hit the fan. Are we all going to let Deity do this alone? Is it the right thing to do? I mean he gave us a home here, and he is a friend to us all."

"So the hell what?" Rang Keno's voice throughout the club, though no physical manifestation seemed present. Directly, he was responding to what Unks had just said to his wife, but he might as well just say it to everyone. Listening to all of this melodramatic lamenting was just pissing him off in more ways than he could imagine. Out of everyone there, only the mage and his alleged son failed to disappoint him in their reactions. Well, technically, the new guy didn't upset him, but how could a total stranger be upset in the first place?
"Why should you protect anyone from their own sins, huh? This fight was a long time in coming, and all you can think to do is mope around and debate the moral implications of letting it happen? It's not even up to you; any of you! Bad blood between the Wesley brothers predates each and every one of us, even Jade...especially Jade!" He emphasized his sister's presence because insofar as he knew, Deity only ran blindly into fights for her sake. Maybe it was just that everyone else was better at not being nearly killed or ambushed, or maybe she just owed a larger karmic debt that fate intended to cash in, but even before Deity decided to think next to nothing of Keno, the feline couldn't count too many instances where he even saw the tall wolf downstairs, let alone at anyone else's side. However, perspective being what it was, he wasn't necessarily sure he was right to assume anything. Didn't stop him, though.
"Despite knowing that this would eventually happen, all you ever did was ignore it until it was right in front of your faces. Do you think that Tali was whiling away all of his free time knowing he would eventually duel his brother to the death? It's not anyone's fault but Deity's if he dies. He could have come to any of you for training if he truly felt inclined. The fact that he didn't..." He didn't even finish his thought, but instead let them all take from it whatever it was they wished. At that very moment he realized something very important that he did not voice to the others - those that would actually respond anyway - but made a mental note of. Personally he wasn't convinced he knew the outcome of this match, so it might prove handy later, or completely obsolete.
"Anyway," he said, getting back on track, "I can't stop you from feeling or thinking whatever you want, but how about living your own lives and stop worrying about his? Do you really think he feels any better about this just because you're concerned? Way to help get the dirt off of his shoulder."
Having said his piece, Keno fell silent to wait and listen. Everyone but Tama would have heard him, and for all intents and purposes, the devil should have been in there listening more than anyone else. Even Jade was more complacent to the situation than he was apparently. Be that as it may, they were looking to spend a bit of time together in the future anyway. No doubt this fight wasn't not gonna be talked about once it was over.

Wesley stared right back up at Tybron. Making a big deal of things, as always. At least this was the man he wanted to see. Tamashii here wasn't proving as interesting as the little monarch expected what with his righteous sermonizing. He was quickly pushed aside (figuratively speaking) when Tybron approached. The younger Wesley's first order of business was as expected, if not still a little aggravating. The mage was there, surely she could just go poof and fix everything. The planet would not go unharmed no matter where they fought. Wanton destruction wasn't so terrible if it could be instantly undone. But whatever.
"I know," he sighed. "Spare the wildlife, all that rubbish."
His blue eye rolled in his head before he continued,"Cado and I have already scouted a location that should suit your needs."
With that he moved a few feet backwards, his right hand still resting on the hilt of his weapon as it rocked behind him with the sway of his hips. Cado followed suit with his eyes now strangely focused on Tybron's face. At a couple meters away the Emperor continued, rising from the frozen ground and levitating a few inches in the air.
"We'll move on ahead. Get finished what you will, then meet us there."
The tone in his voice was that of a ranking officer giving orders to his corpsmen. He had no reason to believe that Tybron wouldn't follow simple directions. His sapphire gaze hovered on Tybron a few seconds longer.
On that note he turned up to his guard with one word,"Cado," and spun around as he rose higher into the air. The mammoth Saiyajin followed in unison and stayed by his master's side. Once they were a couple hundred feet in the air they took off with a thunderous sonic boom, zipping over the treetops and quickly disappearing over the southern horizon.

::Deity reacted only subtly to Unks' words as he passed - a mere sideways nod was all he offered. At the time he didn't feel he needed or deserved any help that one could offer him. Aside from the fact that he had resigned before what he considered the inevitability of his fate, he himself picked the fight, so he himself should deal with the consequences.
The fact that his elder brother had already picked a spot was mildly surprising, which clearly showed on Deity's face - well, as much of it as one could see, anyway. He swallowed hard as he watched the little tyrant back away and fly off with his bodyguard, headed South. The quiet Orinian knew that there was a desert far away in that direction - perhaps that was to be the battlefield of choice. In any case, the siganture that emanated from within Shinorei was impossible to miss, so pinpointing the chosen place for the duel wouldn't be difficult no matter how far Deity lagged behind. It was however comforting to feel that wretched presence moving further away.
The boy didn't take off immediately, and instead his hands reached around his neck and - after fumbling for a few moments - unfastened the twine and chain that held his jade pendant and silver locket respectively. Cupping these in one hand, he dug into his coat pocket with the other and retrieved two rings and a keychain. One of the rings was a thin golden band, nondescript. The other was silver; a claddagh ring. The keychain had an assortment of odd-looking numbered keys along with something that resembled a miniature cell phone.
Dropping these items into his other hand he turned about to face Samayou. He firmly took the man of black's right hand in his left and pulled it up closer.::
Please...give these to Jade?
::His voice was as light as a feather as it ever was as he overturned his other hand and placed the items into the stockier hand of Samayou. The purpose of this was simple - anything on his person would likely be destroyed during the fight. He realized as he pulled his hands away how the gesture could be quite sadly misconstrued as a goodbye. Hopefully his beloved would understand.
He donned a brief smile for the big warrior as he stepped back, and his ki power rose by a trivial amount. Just enough to allow him to fly fast enough to catch up with Tali and Cado. With that he braced one foot behind the other as he crouched down - in a flash he had jumped backwards, flying in an arc along the same path that the other two had taken. He was indeed fast - at this rate he would be upon his brother in a matter of seconds.
Deity had no delusions that he wouldn't be followed; whether one was supporting him or rooting for Taliman's victory - or perhaps merely wanting to see a good fight - someone would want to observe the events of the duel. It was up to those compelled to watch to follow the brothers to the fighting grounds.::

Sensing her husband's mana signature a short distance away the mage pursed her lips glancing at the moon princess from the corner of her eye.
"I suppose I shouldn't have assumed everyone's presence wasn't immediately associated with Deity's duel with Taliman. Irregardless it is still a pleasant surprise. "
Crouching down she before children patting both lightly on the head while they enjoyed their gummies. An audible of hiss of mana was heard and likely felt by any of the more energy sensitive individuals in the club
Glancing up at the moon princess she once more rose to her feet her expression darkening slightly. Speaking in a voice soft enough for only the young mother to hear, she leaned in.
"I've placed a degrading dampening field on the children. It will temporarily dilute their energy sensing abilities enough to settle their stomachs. If they could already feel Taliman's mana signature at this level, then the fight would likely have made them seriously ill. I surmise its their Saiya-jin blood that drew them here and you by proxy..."
Hearing her husbands voice from behind her expression softened as she turned to him.
"Hi sweetie, you remember Merena and the twins? They've grown so big haven't they?"
Smiling broadly her expression sobered as Keno interjected his thoughts on the fight. While she would not have been so crass with her wording she was more or less aligned with Black Tiger's thoughts on the matter.
Adjusting her glasses as to let the light obscure the amethyst orbs behind them she shook her head.
"Deity is a fine man, but this battle is his wish. Rushing to the rescue of a man who didn't call for it is likened to assailing his honor. You are already condemning him to defeat, if you only have faith enough to rush to his side without so much as a punch thrown."
Patting her husband's shoulder she strode from the lounge heading toward the bar counter. She felt she had already done her part. As the earth was her home and the Orion by way of it being on earth. If things got out of hand she had set a number of failsafes to prevent most catastrophic damage to life and terrain. The brothers would have free reign only as much as that. Beyond that she would likely work to end them both herself if things got anymore out hand.

Foolish Kenotao, Sama could hear a pin drop a mile a away in a snowstorm and the Tiger's voice was like nails on a chalkboard, easily recognizable from a few miles out let alone a few feet and a wall. Sama heard every word but focused mainly on the men in front of him. Keno was right but his view of how Sama looked at the situation was totally off. Sama was not only complacent with the fight, he encouraged it with full support, this NEEDED too happen if anything.
It was then that deity would remove a small personal treasure and hand it to Samayou with grace, nodded with no words at his orders before smiling with a quick response.
“Right, I’ll find you once I am done with that and don’t bother arguing with me kid, no matter where you run I can always smell you out.”
With that the Ki levels rose a little and off he flew, the Devil cursing too himself slightly on the fact that he could still not fly. Just wasn’t in his genetics…..
For now he focused on the task at hand as he turned around and walked into the Club, his eyes shifting out all other sources of power and focusing on Jade. His large frame easily towered all others currently here as the black devil stood still and waited for a second knowing his presence would bring silence, it always did. His hand clenching too the items gently as he nodded at Jade. Approaching her at a slow walk with a gentle smile under his wrapped up face, his palm opening up slightly to reveal the shiny items and trinkets that he had been given. He offered them too her as he was told and spoke with a gentle tone.
“He wanted you to hold onto these.”
He had picked his words carefully for saying something like "He wanted you to have these." would incline some sort of goodbye and be that the real case or not hope was never a bad thing too have in dark times. If anyone knew that it was this Devil from the Darkness. He would see who would be coming as well but for now he may be the only one going after Deity to watch, he highly doubted that though. Sama was going to make sure any others that went did not interfer under any circumstances which most likely he would need to do.

Merena sighed lightly. She had not thought that by coming here that things were so... hectic? if that was the word. She thanked Epithany for the field on the twins saying "They usually don't get sick like this... I mean I know they can sense other people, but this dark energy, even for them as part saiya-jin, well I'll be honest they haven't felt anything like that..." She sighed again, imagining why this would draw her and her children in. This wasnt exactly any sort of thing she wanted to get them involved in just yet. Granted they would soon need training anyway, but they were only 3, and as her mother she of course never wanted to see them grow up.
As Unks came by She smiled broadly at him, then bent down to scoop up a child in both arms. She nodded to boy then girl and said "Meet Vincent and Shaina, respectively"
Then Keno's voice boomed through the Orion and the sudden sound made both twins cover their ears. With a kiss on each forehead they smiled and went about finishing their gummies, for Merena had made it so the sound was very light. If they wanted they could still listen in, but she was sure they were too busy eating, and they would both would be pulling at her hair in a moment anyway. As she listened, she finally realized what was happening, as the time before the twins came rushing back at her. So thats why everything was so strange, the tension, the eery feeling, the way Taliman's presence was so awful. Another sigh escaped her lips. She never got into others fights, she'd seen enough, so Keno's speech was something she cared not about but to receive facts.
Speaking to everyone she said "well, I guess we can at least be happy to be re-united with old friends, no matter what the circumstances." Just her two cents, in some ways she cared, but anyone who knew Merena knew she could be a hard a**. And since she hadn't seen everyone in so long, and she was scared that if her children got pulled into this, it was probably inevitable Caine would visit soon enough, it put her more on edge, which could mean her tongue could get savage if provoked.
Then a young boys whispering made her look down at Vincent. "Why so mean. Mommy, why?" She blinked at him and watched as Shaina took her brothers hands and said "It's ok. I wont hurt you ever!" They apparently had heard, and while they would probably forget soon enough, it was apparent the children were a lot more cognizant about their surroundings than they should at their age.

::Unks leaned down and smiled at the twins and placed his hands on the top of their heads and ruffled their hair a little bit laughing softly. He winked at both of them before standing up to look at Merena and gave her a quick hug.
"I do remember them of course. They have gotten so big, and from what it seems they are quite the handful. It is great to see you Merena."
He heard Keno put his two cents about the situation and then vanish into thin air just like he appeared. He glared slightly at how lightly Keno seemed to be taking the goings on around the club. Deity may or may not have brought this on himself, but friends don't turn their back on friends. Even if they are asked too or not.
Unks moved to Pith's side and wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head before moving his lips to hers laying a soft kiss on them with a smile. He looked at her and then noticed Tama came in and gave Jade a few things. He looked in the direction of where the three large power levels flew towards::
"I really have a bad feeling about this. . ."

Halfway to the bar the mage found herself snagged by her husbands embrace and then was immediately assaulted with a barrage of kisses. Caught off guard she staggered back a smirk forming on her lips.
"Well, that's not the greeting I was expecting, but I'll take it."
Noticing his attention was drawn toward the direction of the fight she frowned. Grasping his chin she turned his gaze back onto her face.
"Sweetie...eyes over here."
Wrapping her arms around his neck she stood on the tips of her toes pressing her forehead to his.
"Hun, its pretty straight forward whats going on between those two brothers. As much as an a** Taliman is, if he was going to cause any trouble beyond the issues he has with his brother. He likely would have already. On top of that, he wouldn't have his bodyguard with him if he was so sure he could easily deal with all of us."
Planting a kiss on his lips she sighed.
"So don't dwell on what you can't change."

Unfamiliar with so many things of this world, so many of the people surrounding him, the voices echoing throughout the club, yet he understood what the voice without a host ringing through the club was saying. Though he had never met the man with an endeavor with his brother, he felt as if he had somehow known him all along. He felt some kind of connection with every person in the Club, every creature on this planet called Earth, and everything around it. Almost as if he had once been watching over them all. Not by any means a sort of God, but...The fact of the matter was that no matter how saddened he was to think of having to watch anyone here die, he knew that it was fate that only one of the brothers would be left standing in the end. It was the only way things would be settled once and for all.
With a quick blink he sensed two other presences outside of the tower. Both very prominent. Both very dangerous. But something else. Something that he could only explain as evil, but he was unsure of what it was. It held the shape of something material, not humanoid. His body stiffened as these presences made their way closer. He knew he had no reason to, but he was preparing himself for the worst. Before the tall quiet boy had even spoken a word, the fallen star knew that he would make sure none of the innocent bystanders were endangered. Even as that was, he would have to watch this. As a stranger to the entire group, it was none of his business, but as a being who had unknowingly been watching over the events of millenniums, he felt a strong tug at his heart. He had to go. He would dare not interfere with what the stars had written as destiny, but he would at least witness one of the most shameful sights he could ever imagine. Two brothers, pitted against eachother. Born of at least half of the same blood, the two were at complete odds. Siblings were supposed to have their fights, no doubt, but...Nothing like this.
He wasn't sure who he would see again, and though he had only properly introduced himself to a few, it saddened him to think that these people, his first actual memories, would be just that; a thing of the past, only seen through the mind's eye. He closed his eyes, feeling the presence of younglings, elders, teenagers...With a brief smile to himself, he tilted his head back, his face to the ceiling as he wished upon a star that everybody in the room would remain safe, and no matter what happened by the end of this night, that they would live happily. Not a single one of them deserved any less.
He opened his eyes and stepped towards the door, pulling it open and slipping out stealthily. He passed the large ebony man on his way out, giving a slight nod. Once out into the wilderness, he closed his eyes. Cutting through the darkness, in the distance were three burning orange outlines. The two brothers and the almost frighteningly large man with them. Nothing with two legs should have been that big. He opened his eyes, and not having done anything like it before, like a second nature he had never known about, body as still as it was while he stood, his feet slowly lifted from the ground. He hovered in the air for a moment, not even thinking to dwell on what he was doing or how he was doing it, he darted off after the three. He stayed a half a mile behind them, giving them their space, but keeping them in sight.

[I just want to say, that even though it's a sponsor item, the new Skittle's eyes have made my day. They have the blue and gold eyes. Now I just need a hairstyle or accessory that makes them look less huge and innocent.
Oh, and I'll be coming in to watch shortly.]

Jade tired to keep positive, if only for the sake of Chrissy and Merena's children over in the lounge. Her young niece and nephew had no idea what was about to happen, and she was sure the young woman before her didn't either.
But when Tamashii came inside following the disappearances of Taliman, Cado, Shinorei, and then Deity, her attention was drawn to the large man of black. He wasn't much taller that Deity himself, unless one included the horns, but his body mass was much more, giving one the impression that he was much larger than most anyone else in the Club. She waited as he approached her, hoping that he wouldn't frighten Chrissy anymore than the poor girl was.
As Sama offered out his hand, Deity's jewelry held within it, Jade let out a bit of a sigh. As her small hand lifted the pieces from Tama's large, black palm, she reflected a bit. He was always concerned about his stuff, didn't he know it could be replaced if needed? It could be, but he couldn't. There was only one Deity.
Jade carefully looped the rings onto the thread holding the jade pendent, so they wouldn't be lost, and placed both it and Deity's silver locket around her neck. Her silence on the whole matter was partially due to not wanting to response verbally to Keno's voiceover. She kept her words to herself, though a great deal of self control was required. Her emotions were already bouncing around dangerously, no need to add fuel to the fire.
"Guys...." She spoke softly, mostly to Kenta, Chrissy, and now Tamashii. "I'm sorry....I can't just wait to find out what happens." She wanted partially to stay with the friends, the family she had made inside the Club here. She wanted to get to see Merena and her children, to talk more about dinner plans with Kenta and Chrissy. But a larger part of her knew she'd go nuts, waiting around again for the end of a battle that had yet to start. "If you want to come...I wouldn't mind...."
The young Saiya-jin leaned forwards a little, and gave Kenta a quick kiss on his cheek, very much like how her future self had a habit of doing to him. And with a quick smile, even though the feelings behind it were very mixed, Jade turned, stepping between Kenta and Tamashii and heading for the front door.
A quick turn of one of the handles gave her access to the outside. She raised her ki slightly and jumped up off the front step, flying up alongside the Tower before turning and heading south as well. They had a good lead on her, hopefully she'd catch up in time. Jade had to be there for this fight; for better or worse, she would witness it.
