Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lieutenant Osumilite reeked of alcohol. This was due largely in part of his intoxication, having spent the night with a pretty young woman at one of the emptier bars in Destiny City. After all, it was a weekday night and the bars were rarely so crowded then. Unfortunately for the young woman, however, the night did not go so well as at that moment she lay in the back alleyway, drained of all her energy and her pocketbook stripped of its cash.

As the eldest of the lieutenants stumbled down the sidewalk counting the cash he had stolen, he detected a faint energy signature of a Senshi nearby. He pocketed the cash as he staggered around, looking for the threat.

"Terrorist, terrorist," he cooed. "Come out, come out wherever you are..."

Osumilite laughed. Of course the terrorist would be reluctant to identify himself as such. They were so disillusioned into thinking they were making the world a better place in such ignorance of their invasiveness on the planet. They must be removed, but they were a reluctant group of ******** with sharp tongues and magical powers - but the lieutenant had confidence in himself, and confidence in the goals of the Negaverse to protect the planet.

"Well then, why don't you grow some balls and come off that street light?" he taunted. "Or are you just a coward? A cowardly little alien, seeking to destroy the planet but to afraid to fight against those who seek to defend it? You Senshi are truly pathetic and despicable beings."

Osumilite laughed some more. Was this Senshi unaware of his group's cause? Its goals?

"You ignorant fool," he grinned. "Drunk I may be, but of the two of us, you are the one who cannot see things clearly. You Senshi have destroyed planet after planet - your own damn foreign planets - and now you have come to Earth to do the same. Do you know not your own history? Or do you just blindly fight with no cause?" His tone had shifted from amused to infuriated within a moments. "You disgust me."

"You Senshi are so close-minded, so blinded by your arrogance," he called out. "You're supposed to be a soldier, are you not? Why don't you find out what cause your aligned with, maybe then you'll realize where you have gone wrong. The Negaverse would be delighted to have you amongst our ranks." Of course, he didn't fully mean that - not if his reluctance to battle was any indicator of how he would act as an agent. "If you do not want to hear it from me, that is fine. The story is all around you. Turn on the news some time, listen to the stories of the terrorist Senshi who attack the citizens of Destiny City. Then you'll learn."

The news he was referring to was his own segment - Tag Swagger's segment on the Channel 6 News.

"The media is only reporting the truth, but we have no ties with them," he said, his voice steady. "If you'd watch the news more closely, boy, you'd see how you terrorists are terrorizing the city with your antics and leaving a field of destruction wherever you step foot. You have destroyed planet after planet, and are slowly destroying this one. We don't drain energy to be cruel, we need the energy to fight you off, to defend this planet. If you truly wanted to protect the people, you Senshi would all stop fighting. You'd all leave this planet, and if you can't find a way to do that then you'd kill yourselves."

Osumilite was speaking the truth, or the only truth that could be understood. "I'll let you live, Senshi; I'll spare your life because you're nothing more than a foolish, ignorant scared child. But I encourage you to think the next time you step outside your door. Question whether you are on the right side in this war. Because believe me, it'd be best if you just turned around and went back inside, boy."

The lieutenant spat onto the floor. Sure, it was far and away from hitting the Senshi perched on the street light, but its meaning carried the same weight. With that, the lieutenant turned away and leapt onto the nearest rooftop - and leapt from rooftop to rooftop until he faded away into the night.
