The days had grown shorter in the coming of autumn. Even the Negaverse had felt it deep within the crevices of the Rift. This was where Bazzite had been touched on the shoulder, beckoned further into the darkness. And he went willingly, like a bright-eyed lamb. It was there that he received more of the darkness into his very being, bringing himself closer to Chaos. It was there that he'd attained more power. Sharp weapons now collected in his jacket pockets, more muscle worked its way through his body. He smiled, eyes twinkling with determination. The Negaverse had chosen well - he was devoted, blinded and very, very willing.
It had taken him a very long time, but Bazzite could now call himself a Captain. And with that rank came more responsibility.
His first duty? Report to his general immediately.
And so Bazzite used his newfound speed and agility to race through the halls of Negaspace on his first mission. His face was hardened, determined. Finally, he thought, they think I'm worthy enough! Wait until Beni sees me now! He'll be so proud!

Negaspace was a place he went to when he didn't want to deal with people, with school, and generally had nothing to do. Today was simply a day where he needed to be alone and work things out in his own mind. The pain was still sharp and clear like a cold winters night and the shouts still rung in his ears. His own words echoed back in his mind as he moved down the darkened halls of the Negaverse's domain. Already he was planning on heading down into the Rift, the comfort of the darkness and the youma, something he wished to take solace in for the moment.
Who knew that he would be denied such. One gloved hand was limp at his side while the other ran through his hair. Fingers tangled in the ashen locks before tugging at the hair. Even as his mind and emotions were a wreck and a mess he looked utterly hallow as he moved through the Citadel and down toward the Rift.
Why did his age matter? He certainly didn't behave like some common child. He was sure of this fact, he had always prided himself on such, it was one reason he was better than those he went to school with. Another sharp tug at his hair before he let his left hand fall down to his side. It was over now and he still hadn't sorted, and organized, his feelings. He couldn't push them away either, ignore them since they couldn't be figured out and sorted.

There he is!The Captain had finally found the object of his mission and pursued Benitoite with relentless determination. The General looked haggard, tired, worn down. Surely this would perk him up? The pain from his promotion was subsiding already, replaced with mental images of what Benitoite might say. Would he be proud? Would he congratulate his underling? Surely something positive would come of this. Bazzite was sure of that. The boy followed behind his superior at a distance and waited for when Benitoite was alone. The General usually liked to be left alone when down in the Rift - it was a space of quiet, of solitude. It was a wonderful place to gather one's thoughts. Benioite was a thinker, a planner. Bazzite simply followed orders with a smile and worked hard. When the time was right, Bazzite stood up straight, clicked his heels and saluted. "General! I'm here to report."

It wasn't uncommon, or even out of place, to feel other officers down here. It was common really, plus sensing all the youma in the area, he wasn't expecting to hear someone call for him - he was the only General in the area he felt. A thinker he was and it was why he came here, to clear his head and to think, he was no planner but he could gather information. He was good at gathering information for others, like Painite, to use. Today was not to go over information he'd found for some plan it was a trip down to clear his head. It seemed however he wouldn't be given such a gift today.
A Captain was following him and than he heard their voice, before he could turn and question them, and he knew the voice. But they weren't...turning he spotted a familiar figure but they were clearly no longer a Lieutenant. "Bazzite...Captain Bazzite." It felt odd and yet right to say those two words together.
He couldn't box up his emotions and thoughts but he could feel new emotions bubbling up and over taking the ones which had previously ruled him. He was happy and proud and he felt his lips pull into a smile as he stood taking in the sight of his Captain. "Alright, report then. And congratulations Captain, I knew this would happen one day." And he had known, his dedication to the cause was strong and it would carry Bazzite to this rank and hopefully right to being a General.

Bazzite couldn't keep a straight face and devolved into a doofy smile when Benitoite greeted him using his new rank. The captain dug one foot into the soil bashfully. "Aww... Beni... I worked real hard an'... an' it worked! I feel awesome right now!"
Wait, I'm supposed to report!
Sputtering, Bazzite returned to his previously rigid position. "All's clear on the home front, General!" he started, trying to ready everything in his head in a way that would make sense when spoken. Everything buzzed so quickly through him right now that English seemed like a chore. "I'm now ready to take on recon missions for you, General! I will continue my training to the best of my ability, General!" What else was there? There was something else...
The rigid position was lost now that Bazzite couldn't remember the last thing he wanted to report on. Suddenly he snapped his fingers in discover. "Oh yeah! And now I have these!" The newly-christened captain pulled out a pair of sharpened metal shuriken. Gone were the silly folded paper ones of youth. Now he had something threatening. "And I can find that Tiger senshi and show her what for!"

"Your supposed to feel awesome right now." Smiling he gave a small, soft, huff of laughter at the other. Blond bangs fell about the Generals face in something of a mess, but a handsome mess. "I would be concerned if you didn't. I'm glad to see your hard work has paid off, so very glad." The last part was added after a moment, followed by a brighter smile and a tilting of his head. He really was quite happy for the other, proud as well.
Laughing he brought his left hand up to his mouth, covering up his laughing mouth, his thumb was positioned under his bottom lip while the rest of his fingers were above his upper lip. Something one might expect from some dainty, high society, female from some movie. "Of course all is well on the home front, and no need to address me by rank quite so much, I assure you - it's unneeded."
Leaning forward now, his left hand having fallen away in light of the new weapon being shown to him, he reached out to touch one gently. "I see...they are quite nice. Yes, we'll find that senshi of tigers and this time she will surely....die." He stated slowly. It would be, for the moment, something to occupy his mind and time and keep his mind and emotions stable. "When you wish to find her we shall go tiger hunting." Whispered words that held promise and confidence. He was confident in his abilities and in the other who stood before him, he had gained in confidence as time had gone on and rank and power had been gained. he just wished he could do more, to really make an impact whilst keeping civilians safe. For now though this would, and must, suffice. For after this he needed the time to straighten himself out, address his own personal issues, before he could again serve properly and to his fullest.

Bazzite chuckled and made a silly face. "Aww c'mon, Beni. Don't tell me you don't like bein' called somethin' so serious every once in a while. You gotta be recognized for all your hard work n' rank n' stuff, you know?" The captain rubbed the back of his head, smile upon his face. Now the real work was beginning. "I feel like I got my trainin' wheels pulled off and I got lots more work to do but I'll make it worth it!" For emphasis, Bazzite curled a fist and punched into the palm of his opposite hand. "'n for starters, those karate classes! Oh and lotsa speed trainin'. I know I can't hit real hard but I can move real fast. When we get missions n' stuff, lemme know, okay Beni? I'ma help you even more now. 'n maybe I can actually, you know, win some battles. I don't like bein' squished on magical shields like a bird on a window. It ain't pretty." He shook his head as if he'd just given some extremely sage advice. Right. If anything, Benioite had been one of the singular reasons Bazzite hadn't been soundly beaten, killed and then thrown to the youma in the Rift as a midnight snack. Maybe now he can begin to repay his General.

"I know, but I'm not fond of it. If it's important, something official such as a meeting, than I am alright with it. Even if it's someone I don't know well. But that aside than I'd prefer my name over my rank. It's simply more personal." Watching the other he nodded. "I cold see how that works. I think for myself I felt safer and more secure, that at least I could handle situations better." That he was less vulnerable, a feeling he really didn't like. His first senshi had been an eternal, not exactly what you wanted to run in to when you were a fresh Lieutenant. He had been glad to make Captain, he wasn't that much weaker than an eternal and he was on par with a super. It was much safer and General...well General was really safe - unless you looked at royals.
Mind back on track as the other continued he nodded his head. "Yes, martial arts training and hopefully you'll learn to hit harder in those lessons as well. So while your already fast you'll gain some strength to your hits. We should work on endurance as well, so you don't become winded so fast. I'd like to see you beat a senshi or two - soundly." Oh yes, he'd really like to see that. He'd enjoy the show, stand back and watch even, he wouldn't step in unless it was needed. Bazzite was now a Captain and he could handle himself more, hold his own a bit better, he'd keep him safe still but he'd let him fight his own fights as well and simply watch.
"If we get anything important I'll be sure to let you know. So far I've heard nothing from anyone my rank or higher." Sighing he moved to find himself a place to sit, a window sill, and seating himself, his legs only just dangling, he tilted his head slowly. "Tell me, do you have plans for that tiger senshi? Anything you'd like to do with her when we find her?"

Bazzite nodded to his general, enthusiasm brimming just below the surface. "I'll beat down some senshi for you, Beni. It'll be great. I'll practice more with my weapon, but I really wanna practice on that tiger chick and well..." He looked down at his feet. Pasiphae had been very nice to him initially. They went to Jolly Burger and had some nice adventures and conversations. But then she went and teamed up with that tiger senshi and tried to smash him to bits! He'd have to do something about that, and he felt more capable now that he was a Captain. What plans did he have for the tiger? That was something Bazzite wasn't so sure about. Sure, he could probably injure her, but what then? He'd never killed anyone before and didn't really want to start any time soon. "Well, how's about this?" he started, walking with his General. "I beat her down and drag her back here. Maybe we can convince her to join our side, you know?" Enthusiasm growing, Bazzite smiled. "Yeah, we show her what the war's really like and then she'll understand." Sniffing, the captain rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand. "Or at least beat her up a lil' bit for beatin' me down like that..."

"Yes, you will beat some senshi for me and with me. We will do it together." He wouldn't send Bazzite out on his own to deal out a beating to any senshi, or knight, till he knew the other was ready to handle it all. "Of course, the tiger senshi but...what else though?" He asked, wondering what that trail off was for, it seemed like he'd been going to say more. Had something else happened, was there someone else Bazzite wanted to beat on, what was Bazzite leaving out?
"No, we can't bring her here. That is in all likelihood not permitted, the youma might even attack and possibly kill her." He Spoke honestly as he wondered if it was permitted, if one was seeking to corrupt the one they were bringing here. He doubted it, because if they said no then they'd seen this place - not like they could vanish from here anyway.
"I tried to talk her into our side. I might have had her if she hadn't been there at the senshi gathering. That destroyed the plans I'd had, she saw me there and was involved in the battle. To bring her to our side would likely need to be something...forced. I don't exactly like that idea - who knows if someone forced will do well as a member." Would be loyal and would fulfill duties. He simply didn't trust it.
"I'd like to just beat her for what she did to you."

Bazzite wasn't sure how, or if, he should bring up how Pasiphae was there too. She was so nice initially. What happened? Was it that tiger's terrible influence that made Pasiphae attack him? He'd have to track her down to find out. And not tell Benitoite, at least initially. Punching one fist into his open palm, Bazzite smiled to his general. "I'd like the first hit if you don't mind, Beni." he said, chuckling low in his throat. He'd never been out for blood before and he was rather high on the idea that he could make his general even more proud. "But I gotta train a bit first before we go tiger hunting. I gotta test out my new weapon and OH I CAN TELEPORT, BENI. THIS IS AMAZING." He'd definitely need to test it out! Bazzite began to bounce around the little enclave like the idiot he was known to be. "I'll make you real proud, Beni. It'll be great! But first--" He stopped and stared his General right in the eyes. "...I gotta do laundry. You wanna come back with me? OH. OH. I can try teleporting us there! Wanna take a test drive???"

Listening to the other he noted the changes, they were drastic in his opinion, but they weren't off putting. Rather they made him proud of the other, Bazzite was taking initiative. This was a good thing, very good. For a moment he wanted to just hug the other and pat him on the head. Refraining from both actions he bobbed his head and smiled.
"Have you learned how to teleport, practiced?" He asked, though he knew it wouldn't be something he could do much before he'd tire himself right out, he could still remember how tiring it had been for himself at first. He was glad for being a General now due to the ease he could teleport now, he could get out of danger easier if need be.
"We'll work on testing out your new weapon. I would like the honor of assisting you with that. If you don't mind of course." Which he doubted he would. He also knew the other wouldn't be able to go somewhere and learn in a martial arts school how to use the lovely metal weapons he'd gained. He'd need to learn and Benitoite could help him but not as much as he'd like. He'd also need to work on throwing and aim, not something he had to be good with given his weapon. "I think you should also seek someone out for further training, someone who has a weapon which must be thrown. You can work on aim and throwing better that was as well." He wanted Bazzite to learn from the best and to learn to be better, greater, than he was at present.
Glancing around he sighed and shook his head than nodded. He was happy for the other, he really was, but his own emotions were lurking in the background, threatening to just come right back and swallow him again. They'd drown him if he let them. "I don't know if you'll be able to teleport me. You should try and teleport yourself. But only to a place you've been and not right into the house. Try for a block or two away inside an alley and than power down and walk the rest of the way. It's what I do for safety reasons." he didn't want someone feeling his signature when he suddenly appeared in his home. He would keep his home as safe as he could.
"You don't need to do the laundry...Johnathan." Smiling softly, fondly even, at the other. "You should celebrate. Think of something you want to do to celebrate and we'll do that." Maybe he could push his own emotions away for longer, be happy for Johnathan and his promotion. He could let his own emotions take hold again later. He'd return here when he did though, to the rift.

Bazzite stopped before he could grab his general by the coat and dropped the shorter boy a wink and a smile. "Aww Beni, you're always so nice to me. So let's celebrate! How's about pizza? Or a fancy-pancy restaurant? I know how much you like the fancy stuff with the pinky in the air and all that." The captain rubbed the back of his head and gave a cheesy smile. "Don't worry - it'll be my treat cuz you stuck around to help me get here. Without your help, Beni, I wouldn'ta gotten my promotion! I mean you coulda just left me alone and gone with Painite and yeah..." He looked down. "...that woulda been depressing cuz then we wouldn't have been friends, you know?" But his spirits brightened quickly enough. Bazzite was known for bouncing back. "But I'm glad we're friends, Beni! I can always count on you and you can always count on me, okay? I'll be there for you no matter what!" The boy was almost giddy, bouncing back and forth with energy. "So whaddaya say? Fancy restaurant? Pizza? Or fancy pizza?"

Laughing he smiled at the other and pet the others pale blue hair. "I care - I want to see you do well." And not get beaten on by senshi, or knights. He wanted to see Bazzite do well all around, it was that simple and yet that difficult. He wound up like a parent for the other, not that he minded though it was stressing, it was worth while in the end. "Pizza or anything else you'd like. We don't need anything fancy." He could always order something from the Italian place to go with the pizza, something less greasy and fancier. Yes, maybe some penne in a nice sauce. "Are we eating in or out?" He questioned before shaking his head, and waving a hand. "No, no. It's on me. It's a celebration for your achievement so it's my celebration to pay for."
What would have happened had he gone with Painite and they'd both ignored Bazzite? He couldn't really picture it and yet he knew he didn't like whatever would have been. He'd be lonely and missing a housemate but the other somehow calmed him down, even while making him feel years older than he was and stressing him out. He was learning to care for and coddle people, something he'd never done in the past nor cared to do. He even watched how he said things, took into account the others feelings.
"I know you will and I will always be there for you as well. If you ever need me, for anything, you can always ask me. Now, why don't we take our leave of here and see to celebrating properly." His things gathered and he readied himself to teleport out, knowing the other couldn't teleport them both. Readied he set his mind on the location, home, and was gone a moment later. Bazzite would surely follow.And finished.
