Of all the answers he might have gotten, Kenta certainly hadn't seem that one coming. It effectively stunned him for a few moments as he tried to process it, though he didn't really get anywhere. The thought of his father atoning for anything was almost laughable; he never truly apologized for much of anything. However, saying sorry wasn't the same as being sorry so it shouldn't be ruled out just because he didn't verbally express himself.
The 'mass psychosis' was something else as well. Apparently Kenta's father used to be different, the underlying message being that everyone else was too. Was it coincidence that everyone had a virtual breakdown in character at the same time? Did they all turn in to themselves or look to each other? Did they fail to get to the root of their problems? Were they still looking for answers? The possibilities could go on and on, but Kenta couldn't keep up with them all because the more questions he asked, the more they depended on the answers of their predecessors and he couldn't very well be asked to keep track of them all without writing them down.
He wanted to say something aloud, but couldn't think of anything. Even if Miss Pith were right, that would mean the only one who could tell Kenta what he ultimately wanted to know was KenoTao, and it didn't seem too likely that that man would go to the trouble to correct or clarify anything anyone else said. What a thoroughly frustrating situation.

::A small smirk appeared on the evil Saiya-Jins lips as he watched everyone fly off even his would be heroic counter part in the direction of Deity, and his brother. He felt a few energy signals in the club still remaining one of which and more importantly was Epithany. The evil monkey moved towards the doors of the club and opened them slowly.
He entered the club and looked around with his eyes his heavily scared right eye hidden behind his hair. He moved his hair back behind his ear so both his red eyes were exposed. He saw Epithany with a young boy and girl. He noticed two children and another woman he didn't know. They mean nothing to him, but he wasn't going to pass up this time of stress to have some fun.
He moved towards the small group his heavy boots making thumps as he walked closer to them, the evil smirk never left his lips as he moved. He closed the distance in a matter of a few long strides and spoke softly.
"Well it seems the whole foundation of this place is crumbling because the beloved leader seems to be in the fight of his life? Your not all rushing off to be a hero too? A pity really. I hope the silent one doesn't perish, cause then who will keep this place going I wonder?"
He looked behind him to look in the direction of the others who flew off their energy levels getting smaller with the distance they were now from the club::
"I personally put my money on the smaller one. .Tali is his name isn't it? I think he'd be a fine man to do the dirty work for. He seems like a genius."

Studying the teenagers face, she knew all that she had said had weighted heavily on his mind. Whether any of held any truth was all speculation her part. Seeing the need for redemption on the part of others was perhaps an extension of her own need.
She too was plagued by an onslaught of memories dictating a horrible past. The atrocities she committed unlike those of Fierce and Keno's Black tiger incarnation, made there seem like playground scuffles. Whole tracts of history were forced into existence by her very whims.
Running her hand through her emerald tresses she at once was yanked from her thoughts by an all too familiar mana signature. Her expression darkened as she made note of the Red headed Saiya-jins appearance.
"Damn... here's to hoping that you had shuffled off this mortal coil. I suppose that's why they call it the fools luck. Its always the fools that keep coming back."
Tracking the ever growing flow of individuals wishing to observe the fight, she once fought the urge to join them, if not to get away from her social misfit a of a "brother in law".
"You do realize, the fight is that direction?"
Pointing toward to the line of individuals playing follow the leader, her expression had decayed into a deep set scowl.

His stream of consciousness was broken by Miss Pith's voice, commenting on an unwelcome presence that had apparently arrived some time while he was lost in thought. The fact that the kindness, patience, and tolerance usually indicative of Miss Pith's character were fading behind a menacing scowl of completely opposite sentiments made the hairs on Kenta's tail and ears stiffen a bit.
I know you, he would have said were it true, but it wasn't. Not really. The man who had an instantly negative effect on Miss Pith felt similar to, but was clearly different from, Unks. Both men shared certain behavioral patterns, particularly in speech, although whereas one generally had a kind disposition to most everyone, this one thickly layered venom on his words instead. Kenta didn't much like the feel of the guy.
"Who are you," he demanded more than asked, lacking anything more clever to say. Much like the child he was - in a manner of speaking - he was very emphatic to family and how they felt about outsiders, and Miss Pith was as good as family. That being the case, he could only behave in one of two ways. Either he could hide behind Miss Pith and cling to her skirt, or he could at least stand up to the antagonizing villain and try to make him leave. Since he wasn't eight anymore, one choice was already ruled out, so he set himself to mediate in hopes of relieving any tension.

::Furor smirked as soon as Epithany spoke to him. He was already under her skin and he just showed up and didn't do anything. . .Yet. He put his hands in his pockets and pulled a chair forward with his mind and sat down. He looked between her and Kenta after he spoke. He ignored Kenta for the time being.
"I know very well where the fight is and I will go there when I am good and ready, not to watch but to maybe stir up some trouble with Unks. I mean we can't have any of the "hero's" get involved."
He had a feeling Tali's bodyguard wouldn't like it and neither would Tali, but what is Furor to them? Nothing, and he wouldn't be causing any trouble or getting in the way of the brothers duel. He brought his red eyes back to the boy and smirked.
"Your quite the brave one aren't you boy. Your lucky I'm in somewhat of a good mood. I just love bloodshed. .Kinda like a destroyed town."
He glanced over at Pith and smirked knowing only she would get the reference. He then gazed back to Kenta::
"If you must know my name is Unks, but I don't like it so you can call me Furor."

Within moments they were over the desert. The wind they felt was hot in the rays of the sun still low on the horizon. It would probably be nightfall before the fight was over, but things weren't very cloudy on this day. The moon would help light the desert somewhat. Besides Taliman saw well enough in darkness and things would cool down quickly. Literally speaking of course. Figuratively, not as much.
"This is far enough," he said to Cado as he began to descend. "Land."
In unison the two of them arced sharply and flew down toward the planet. The Emperor rolled gracefully forward as he approached the earth, quickly slowing himself so as to merely hover over the ground before touching down lightly one foot at a time. Cado just tilted back to bring himself down feet first, then slammed into the stone below like a truck with no brakes. His barrel-like legs braced and cushioned his impact, and he showed no signs of discomfort as he stood up.
The chosen area was vast without any sign of life visible in any direction. The battleground had dry, cracked ground that was more stone than sand, and overall it was mostly flat. There were a few large rock formations visible but none were nearby at the moment. So much room to move it was a joy to behold.
The air was burning, parched, stagnant. Not even a breath of wind now as the Orinian lord looked to the sky, one hand resting on his demon blade, in wait for his brother. The sword was quite literally humming in ravenous anticipation of this event. A palpable sense of vile hunger was emanating from the weapon as Tybron closed in.
Cado seemed oblivious to that dreadful feeling as he turned to face the gathering crowd, Tali issuing his orders for the evening.
"You're to keep a vigil Cado," the little overlord said. "If any of them try to help Tybron, stop them."
Cado nodded.
"If any of them try to interfere with intent to harm me, do not hesitate to kill them. Do you understand?"
Cado nodded.

Knowing all too well she was being egged on by the Red haired Saiya-jin she ironically reveled in it, a sadistic expression flowing into her gaze. Licking her lips her very being seemed to steep itself in venom. An smile likened to that of a sociopath crossed her normally calm features. Taking on a more sensual tone she spoke in a calm deliberate tone as if she had become someone else.
"Very well...I am more than willing to oblige to your wishes of blood shed. Which would you prefer? Being rendered a blood smear or a broken mass of mangled tissue and bone."
As she spoke one would notice her pupils had frighteningly taken on diamond shaped visage of a lizard. Whether she was aware of the stark transformation one could feel the very air about her waver and warp as if frightened to remain stable.
"Do make note, you are not fit to have the moniker of Unks. You have forfeit any right to the civility that name graces."
Archs of raw energy seemed to crackle and flow down the length of the staff she now brandished nonchalantly over her shoulder.

::Furor only smirked at the comments she had made about his "name" and how about if he is worthy of it. He simply shook his head and looked up at her.
"I don't mean to say the name. I personally despise the name "Unks"hence the name Furor I gave myself. So please don't get your panties in a bunch ok?"
He noticed her changes and stood up slowly looking deeply into her serpent like eyes and smirked his usual cocky smirk. His voice became full of malice and vemon::
"Now now, don't get carried away Epithany, we don't want to scar the young boy here or the two little ones. So before you show your true form remember they are here and I have gotten stronger since our last battle."

Returning the Saiya-jins probing stare, she remained silent weighing his statements. Closing her eyes when they re-opened they had once more lost their bestial glare. Crossing her arms over chest the sociopathic grin shifted to one of amusement.
"I suppose even a fool has his moments. Even in jest I would not think you one to worry of others well being."
Glancing to Kenta from the corner of her eye she sighed.
"As you can see, your father is the only one with demons. Some just lurk closer to the surface..."
Strolling toward the doorway her robes dissolved away in a hiss of static and light and light revealing a more contemporary attire of a bomber jacket over a sweater, jeans and leather boots. Pausing once more at the threshold of the double doors, she glanced back at the Red haired Saiya-jin
"Come...We shall at least talk. I shall evaluate whether your words are but prattle. I am not humbled by just a moral victory."

::Furor smirked seeing as his challenge was accepted. He wasn't expecting this, but he sure as hell wasn't going to pass it up. He looked over at Kenta and gave him a quick wink and a salute before turning to follow after his wife so to speak.
"Wow your a bit feisty right now. I like that. Lead the way. . .Love."
He said the last word as Unks like as he could to get under her skin more. He had new tricks up his sleeve and he was going to show her that he wasn't all talk. He has gotten stronger and he will prove he is more than all talk to her::

"Furor...that's what you're calling yourself?" Kenta finally broke his silence with an inquiry. His face was contorted with confusion now, and though his fur stood on end, he looked relatively calm about the situation. For no other reason than to see what would happen, he followed the pair out of the club, still talking.
"The name doesn't really fit you. I don't think you're strong enough for it." Maybe it was an insult, or maybe it was an observation. The way the boy talked, one couldn't tell whether he was being honest or trying to provoke more hostility. His glance on Furor suggested that he was sizing the Saiya-jin up even now, as though to make sure he was right in his assessment.
"You talk big, but I'm not really that scared of you," he said casually, his tail lifting higher to show his growing comfort. "Deity is pretty strong, but he doesn't go around boasting about it. Even Tali has more composure than you, and he's a galactic emperor." Suddenly the wheels were turning in his head again and he was putting things together. It would be fun to see what happened between the Saiya-jin and Miss Pith. He began to smile casually at the thought of it. Hopefully she didn't transform though. Multiple personalities seemed to be a malady for most anyone he knew with one.

Watching the Saiya-jin through the corner of her eye she remarked on how proud of himself he seemed to be a the prospect of fighting her. Adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose she smirked.
"So what is this about having gotten stronger. Skills plays a better part in dictating ones strength. Raising one's mana levels provides an low incremental boost in power. While it may aid you in terms of stamina. In the past your technique seems to be heavily focused on evasion and attempting to strike a blind spot. Such technique may be useful to a novice but proves little in the way of tactical advantage."
Ducking under a low lying branch she seemed entirely cavalier about having accepted a battle against her husband's counterpart. Stuffing her hands in her jacket pockets one would think she was just enjoying a stroll on the worn path leading away from the club. The waning light of the looming structure behind had seemed to have consumed much of the ambient light from the heavens. None the less it did not take a considerable amount of night vision to track her form as she navigated between tree's.
"So really, What is your reason for coming out here?"

::Furor looked over his shoulder to look at Kenta. He paid no mind to the boys comments. He was more about actions than words. So as they followed Pith he spoke to the son of Kenotao.
"You see I am the anger, rage, and everything negative about Unks. We shared his body and his mind, and still do share some aspects of his mind. The fool banished me from his body like a fool, but the fools mistake is my gain."
He looked up into the night sky looking through the branches and brush to look at the moon. He closed his eyes and took in deep breath before exhaling. He opened his red eyes and continued to talk.
"I am his split personality. Once I was free I went on a celebration of my freedom and attacked a small town for no reason. I killed countless innocent woman, and children, and destroyed the town. Of course Unks, Epithany, Red, and even your father came to see. . .So do you still think I don't fit the name boy?"
Furor looked over at Kenta once more his evil eyes flashing before turning his attention back to following Epithany and decided now would be a good time to answer her question about why he returned::
"I feel my presence has been missed for a long while now. I don't want you and Unks to think I have died or moved on. . . Now tell me where are you leading us?"

(Can't they normally feel the energy of one's parent in their energy signals? And he did also say he and Unks still share the mind, so Unks know Kenta is Keno's son so it can work that way. I can always change it. No biggie)
