You know, there wasn't very many things that excited a saiyan warrior on the planet Earth. It was quite a boring planet with little to do, there wasn't many strong fighters to duke it out with, there wasn't missions to be assigned on and there surely wasn't a lot of things that he found entertaining but once in a blue moon something would come along that caught his interest and there was an event coming up quickly that excited him beyond belief. Here it was though and it felt like a once in a lifetime event, even though it wasn't Athren was doing his best to prepare for it. This event was the Worlds Martial Arts Tournament and it was a perfect way for Athren to let loose and fight some people without being deemed a criminal, it was a place for him to vent his anger and emotions into a target without being hated for it and the best part, he never knew who could've been there! This tournament was advertised to the universe and he knew there were some really strong fighters out there and he wanted to fight them all! It was saiyan nature and something that he couldn't avoid. Even if he wanted too, he couldn't say no to the fight of the century.

At this moment in time Athren had found himself on a beautiful beach, it was quite the long one and surprisingly quite empty. It was a location that he couldn't pass up for training. The sound of the waves crashing against the nearby rocks at the edge of the beach was calming to him, it reminded him so much of his inter conflict and brought some sort of ease to it. He couldn't explain how it brought him a feeling of ease but it did. Currently, he was wearing his heavy training gear and was shadowboxing on the ever so empty beach. His training was as per usual, intense and unforgiving. He didn't miss a single beat with his rapid pacing and his strategic deliveries. Sure, it might've been true that he wasn't fighting an opponent that could counter or an opponent at all for that fact, but his moves were still impressive and fluid all the same.

His motivation for this shadowboxing session was quite a simple one, he didn't need to dig too deep to find the will to dig deep and continuing. He visualized an opponent in the world tournament ring and Athren wasn't one for a ring out, he wanted to win with a knockout to give him the best possible fights that this tournament would provide him with. Of course, if he found himself out matched he would pick the smarter route instead of the brawler route but that wasn't motivational enough to help him train. He needed that raw, brutal encounter in the back of his mind to push him further. It would've been roughly four hours into his training session where he spotted random debris floating into the shoreline. The waves and current had started to bring lots of random crates and objects onto the sandy shore and as the minutes passed, more and more items began rolling up.

He couldn't help but arch his right eyebrow as he got curious, he couldn't help but wonder why all this random stuff was showing up out of the blue. There had to be a cause behind all of it and a reasonable one and Athren was curious enough to investigate. This would've been a shear sign that his demonic side was taking over as it was a very curious creature. Slowly he would've walked towards a box that drifted onto the beach and examined it. His ocean blue eyes looking for any sign of what the origin could've been. Luckily for him, it was placed right in front of his eyes. 'SS Caroline'. At this point Athren knew enough that this debris had come from a ship that was somewhere on the ocean but what he didn't know at this point in time was what had caused this stuff to hit the waters and drift.

Briefly, his ocean blue eyes scanned the beautiful blue of the ocean as he looked for any obvious sign of it's location but there was nothing. It was clear that he was going to need to do some further digging to identify the cause of this treasure on the shoreline. It was apparent at this point in time that something didn't seem right, sure.. maybe it was possible that one or two crates could've fallen off but this? This was a little bit much, it was a little bit excessive.

His eyes turned back to glance at the beach as the conflicting choices between his saiyan side and his demon side took over. His saiyan side was urging him to continuing training as that was the priority, he needed to be as strong as possible in order to win the tournament and get that money. If he did that, he could buy a ship and all the training upgrades he wanted.. but.. his demon side wanted to know what was going on in the waters, clearly there was something fishy about it and it just needed to know what was going on. At this point he crossed his arms slightly and his right foot began to tap. His right arm finally came up to rub his chin as he looked back and fourth between the ocean and the beach. The conflicted continued for mere minutes before he finally gazed towards the ocean with a decision in his head.

He could train afterwards, he could train at any time that he wanted too but this? This could've been something special or it could've been nothing at all and he wasn't going to know unless he went to investigate. His demon side won this conflict, he was going to go adventure out into the ocean and see what kind of conclusion he could come up with!

"The hell with it." Athren mumbled as he blasted upwards into the bright blue sky as he headed off towards the further depths of the ocean. His eyes began to scan the horizon as he flew, he had been looking for any obvious signs of where the source of all this debris had been. Immediately, nothing would've came to his attention but he did see a clear trail of more debris that had been floating along the ocean waves. This was his clear indication on which way to travel. As he ripped through the skyline the wind ruffled Athren's hair around and brought a cooling kiss to his sweat soaked skin, in fact it would've been nearly refreshing and a much needed break from his workout. Maybe this could've been more beneficial to him than he though, maybe letting his curious side get the best of him wasn't such a bad thing at all and who knew, maybe something positive could've come from this little break? Only time would tell but what he did know was that it was time to pick up the speed a little bit and get to his destination faster because the simple fact of it all was that he didn't want to waste any time, not a minute and surely not even a second.

As he picked up his speed and flew to his maximum potential, his orange aura flared around his body and it was at this point that he decided to have some fun with his flight and amuse himself to even the smallest of degrees. He dropped rapidly and swooped down towards the ocean, almost to the point where his chest was mere inches above the wave lines. His right hand dropped gently and breached the waters surface. As he flew a large trail of water blasted outwards from behind him, simply from the forces at play from him flying so close to the surface. It was at this time that he stopped propelling himself forward with his ki and let his aura fade from his figure completely. It was now that he blasted headfirst into the ocean and got some rather impressive depth from it, his ocean blue eyes opened up as he glanced about the depths of the ocean. Beneath him was pure darkness, it was a rather interesting sight and one that he had never got to experience before hand.

Before he had gotten too distracted though Athren would've blasted upwards and exploded out of the water, the splash hitting tremendous heights as he flew once more at his top speed. The cooling touch of the water had felt quite relaxing and the air quickly dried his skin as his hair ruffled around violently. His ocean blue eyes once again began to scan the horizon in front of him as he followed the trail of bread crumbs left behind by whatever laid ahead.

It took some time but he had finally managed to see something off in the distance, it only appeared to be a shadow at this point but it appeared to be a transport ship off in the distance and the odd part was, that there had been smoke rising rapidly from it. At this point he couldn't help but arch his brow curiously, he didn't know what was going on but he knew he was about to find out. Surely, it couldn't have been a malfunction of equipment.. Could it?

As he drew himself nearer to the smoke he could visually see that there was an active fire on the rear side of the ship. It had even come to a point where that end of the ship was slowly starting to go down beneath the surface of the water. Clearly, this ship was in trouble. It had seemed like every mile that he got closer he could identify more and more, at this point he identified a smaller boat beside it with grappling hooks and ropes trailing up the side. It was at this point that Athren identified that the main transport ship had been attacked by pirates. He thought this was a very interesting thing for it was similar to what he used to do for a living. Instead of ships, he dealt with high end planets. As he got even closer he positioned himself directly above the ship and looked below, his ocean blues scanned for anything that might've been important to his current situation. Athren had a tenancy of observing before reacting and it always served him quite well, so he wasn't going to fix what wasn't broken.

Upon his further birds eye inspection, he determined that there had been at least twelve armed guns on board the transport ship and that the cargo area had a breach in it. This is what was causing the materials to float out into the ocean and cause the ship to begin it's descent to the bottom of the oceans floor. Another very interesting observation was the amount of corpses and blood stained areas on the main deck of the ship, it was obvious that these pirates shot down everybody on board to insure that there hadn't been any witnesses or survivors. This was similar to what Athren would've done if he was in that position. "At least their smart." Athren would've arched his brow as he watched the crew of twelve loading up their minor boat full of resources and packaged goods. Though, this wasn't the time for Athren to stay where he was. He had traveled all this way and cut into his training time for a reason, so he figured he'd make this interesting. By rights, he was going to go see if there was any useful materials he could use. He wasn't going to pick a fight with the pirates but he knew damn well they'd start one. If they started one, he knew he'd have to finish it. Surely, it would've been amusing dealing with such confident weaklings and this opportunity didn't happen every single day.

Athren knew he was going to have to make his entrance sooner than later and he wasn't typically the one for theatrics but he did want to scare the shit out of these guys. After all, he knew he wasn't going to get the kind of fight he desired from these clowns so he might as well have entertained himself somehow, right? He figured he'd screw with them a little bit, scare them with his raw power and then dispose of them all. He had sensed them all out and they were just ordinary Earthlings, their energy output was absolutely pathetic. They were in no way a threat to him, it might've killed the fun slightly but he'd enjoy this another way. For moments he watched them as they did their work, he wanted to understand their pattern so he best knew when to strike though, the thought would've came to mind to let them assemble after they finished to get them all as a group because that would've been the easiest method he could think of. Scare them all at once, right? It sounded like it had the potential to be his best option.

He stayed floating in the air for quite some time, observing as they continued to load up boxes and product on their boat. The bigger ship continued to sink nice and slowly, it was apparent that these clowns would've had more than enough time to get their own boat filled right up with cargo. Though, he couldn't help but wonder what was actually in the cargo. It had to be something valuable, right? I mean, if it wasn't valuable why go through all this effort and risk their lives for it?

Regardless, Whatever it was.. it was Athren's time to strike as a majority of them had been on the upper deck and talking to one another. It was his moment to literally drop in and spoil the fun. At this point in time Athren would've exhaled slowly as he completely stopped using his Ki, this caused him to go into a free fall. He twisted his body quickly so he was head first darting towards the boats surface. As he neared he would've flipped to his feet and his feet would've touched down on the ships metal deck aggressively, in fact it was much too aggressively and he ended up puncturing right through it and falling towards the lower deck.

"What the fuck was that?!" One of the armed men turned and looked to the hole caused by the saiyan hybrid before the rest of them. Slowly he would've brought his rifle up to his shoulder and aimed at the hole, he was being very cautious because he simply didn't know what had just happened.

At this point they all pointed their rifles at the hole, their heart rate increased dramatically. "I don't know man, I didn't see a fucking thing!" Replied another as they watched the hole intensely. It was like they were scared to approach, it was a fear of the unknown. What could've caused such a hole in the ship?

A third pirate would've spoken up at this point, he was clearly the most nervous. In fact, he was so nervous because this was his first job with this crew and he wasn't fully sure of what to expect. Surely, he didn't expect anything out of the ordinary to happen but apparently, he joined the wrong crew at the wrong time. "Somebody should check it out, No!?" He exclaimed as they bantered back and fourth for a moment or two trying to figure out what to do about the situation.

It was at this point where Athren had found himself on a knee in the lower deck, he shook his head lightly as he sighed. "That didn't go as planned." He mumbled to himself quietly as smoked began to exit the from the hole he created. Glancing around, he would've realized that he was a foot or so deep in water and that this ship didn't have much more time before it completely darted towards the dark depths of the ocean. It was at this point that he rose to his feet and took a quick glance around. He wasn't too concerned about what was going on above, the earthlings weren't a threat to him. He had absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Somebody should check it out!?" At this point the pirate looked to the new recruit. "You're the fucking new guy!" Lowering his rifle he pointed with his left hand to the hole. "You check it out! Earn that first cut of this job!" He exclaimed loudly. His point did make sense, new guys usually did do the dirty work. It was like that in almost any line of job and this, this wasn't any different. Hell, even Athren could've vouched if he heard. New guys always got those awkward, nerve racking, dangerous situations.

At this point the new guy hesitated some but finally gave in. "You know what?" He began taking a few cautious steps towards the hole, his gun aimed at it with his finger on the trigger. "Fine! I don't need you guys anyway! It's not like there's going to be anything down there! We've already cleaned it out!" His point might've been accurate if Athren didn't show up, and he might've been safe given the same point but with a demonic saiyan lingering around, none of these twelve fools were safe. In fact, they were already dead because they were just itching to pull that trigger again. Step by step, the newbie approached the hole. He did so until he reached the edge and aimed his rifle into it and directly to the bottom. It was hard to see with all the smoke coming out but he couldn't immediately identify anything, he felt as if it had been a very safe area to be. "There's nothing down there guys!" At this point he relaxed and lowered his rifle. "I think the heat must've just caused the panel to collapse!" He said this as he tried to explain what was going on.

It was at this moment in time that Athren would've leapt up from the lower deck and onto the upper deck. His landing was perfect and his position couldn't have been better. In fact, he landed right in front of the new recruit that they had. "It looks like you guys really made a bloody mess of this ship, huh?" Athren would've stated as he gave the rookie a soft kick to the stomach, it had enough force to push the new guy off the edge and down to the lower deck below.

"AAHH!" Could've been heard briefly as the man descended. Once he hit the metal below a splat sound had occurred though it might've been mixed with the fracturing of bones. If one were to have looked down at the guy, it wouldn't have taken long for his body to be floating in the shallow waters with the red of his blood tinting the waters.

"OH MY GOD, HE KILLED KENNY!" At this point another man raised his gun and pulled on the trigger. Given that it was fully automatic, he started to unload his rifle in Athren's direction. "YOU BASTARD!"
Sure, maybe it was wrong to off the guy like that but they were aiming their guns first, right? In a way, this whole situation would've been self defense. Besides, its not like these guys were innocent at all. Who would've missed them? Of course though, the second the first guy shot his rifle the rest of them had to join in.

It was at this moment that Athren just stood there staring at them. Each and every single one of their rounds simply bouncing off his body. Nothing hurt, hell they didn't even tickle him. The most damage they did was leaving holes in his clothing which, he didn't really care about. Athren stood there with a smirk until each and every single one of the pirates had emptied their magazines. In fact, Athren couldn't help but chuckle at this point, it was hilarious to him. It took him a moment to settle down and regain his focus but once he did, the talking would've started again. "So, that's it.. Huh?" Athren crossed his arms firmly across his chest. "That's literally the best and only thing you've got?" His head shook again for a brief moment as he almost found himself in disbelief. "You guys are absolutely pathetic." At this point his ocean blue eyes peered up in their direction to see each and every single on of them visually shaking out of the fear he was putting in their hearts. It was obviously the first time they've met anybody on such a scale of power before.

It was at this point that most of the men began trying to descend their grapple ropes to get to their own little boat but one of them stood there in front of Athren. "W-what the hell are you!?" He backed away slowly as he trembled for fear of his life. His brain couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Over three hundred rounds had been fired and not a single one even broke the skin of the man before him. "You're a monster! Aren't you!?" He said as he continued to tremble away slowly.

It was at this point that Athren slowly began to pace towards the man, his eyes staring coldy at him. "I'm just.. Saiyan." He said as he closed the gap and extending his right hand to grip the mans throat. Athren slowly lifted him off the ground as he began to squeeze the tenderness of the man's flesh. Athren watched as the man's feet wiggled aggressively, the man's hand clawing and scraping at Athren's forearm in hopes that it would cause the warrior to let go but it just wasn't any use. The demon hybrid began to smirk darkly as he starred into his victims eyes. Athren continued to apply pressure, slowly and steadily. He didn't want to ruin the moment too quickly, he wanted to enjoy every single moment of it. Now this, this would've been his demonic side taking full control. It was the sins of the father pulsing through the blood of the son. In all honesty, Athren didn't even realize what he was doing. He had lost control and there wasn't a damn thing that he could've done to clue back into reality. This wasn't a worthy opponent, this wasn't a life or death situation. This was his inner demons coming out, this was the darkness that he buried deep within himself creeping out to dull the lights that surrounded him. In this case, the only shining lights were the souls of these weaklings. Finally, Athren had squeezed to the point of the man going limp, Athren would've released the body and the sound it made when it had collided with the deck had been like music to his ears. Something about it, was just so damn enjoying.

It was at this point that he slowly paced over to the grappling ropes on the side of the ship, he had witnessed that the rest of the men had just managed to get into the boat and were already blasting across the ocean to get as far away as they could. "Cowards." Athren would've commented as he slowly lifted his right hand and aimed carefully. He gave a minor lead on his target so that they'd drive into his Ki blast. When he thought he had the appropriate amount of lead, he blasted a large, dark orange ki blast their way. It flew across the ocean and collided with the boat. The explosion caused amused Athren for he knew that none of those fools could've survived it. They were all too weak. The debris that rained from the sky was littered with body parts and blood. He couldn't help but smirk. Something about this whole scenario was wrong, it was off, it wasn't truly who Athren was.. but again.. He couldn't quite control his demons.

Given that Athren didn't have a single clue in the world about his origin and the fact that he was half demon, he didn't know that he had something to contain. He wasn't aware that there was always this demonic presence trying to break free from his inner shell and let loose on the world. Every time he had a dark moment like this it seemed to be that much closer to permanently taking over and this was an issue, it was an issue because he wasn't aware of it so he couldn't deal with it. It was only a matter of time until it broke out for good and that day would not be a bright one, for the earth, himself or even to the furthest extent of the universe. Maybe if he could find out about it, he could somehow harness that power and use it with his saiyan side. It might've been a long shot, but it would've been worth a try when the time came.

Regardless, that was irrelevant at this point in time. He had just crossed a line and didn't even realize it but it was time to move forward and get through the rest of this day. Now that he had been on the ship and there was plenty of boxes floating around, he was going to take one and investigate what would've been inside. He simply assumed that it would've been something of some kind of value.

Before he could've grabbed a box and left with it the ship would've began to lift. At least where he was standing anyway, it was sinking rapidly and all of the water in the one side had started to lift his entire end out of the water. Slowly, the ship moved so it was becoming vertical to the water. His saiyan boots couldn't retain any traction and he would've found himself sliding down the deck. A light smirk came across his face before he simply leaped off from the deck and flew. His body quickly turned as he went to obverse what was going to happen. Surely, it would've been neat to see the ship actually go down. It wasn't something that he got to see before.. So, why not.. Right?

It was honestly quite the sight to see, the ship lifted itself fully out of the water before snapping in two. His ocean blues almost enjoyed seeing the destruction of the man made mammoth of a ship. It breaking in two before finally being pulled down towards the dark depths of the ocean amused him. He didn't realize it now but it would've been a good representation of the internal fight that he was facing, the saiyan versus the demon. The saiyan side representing the ship and the dark depths of the ocean being that of the demon. It was a point he couldn't return from, it was a situation that wouldn't be reversed if it came to it. It was something that was bound to happen unless he found his purpose in life, but really.. What could he do on Earth? There wasn't anything for him here, nothing permanent at least.

Maybe his lack of purpose was feeding into the demon's ascension to the outside, maybe it had been slowly killing who he truly was without him knowing it. Of course, he didn't know any of this but he knew that he had something going on with him. He always pointed to the confliction he had with his lack of purpose and sure, it was justified as it was driving him insane but he didn't realize that it was drawing something much deeper out.

Now that the ship had settled on the ocean floor, Athren would've slowly lowered himself to where it once floating on the waves. At this point debris and boxes were floating up from the bottom, even a few corpses had managed to make their way to the surface. It was quite an unusually pleasing sight, one that he couldn't really explain. Maybe it made him feel like he was back in the day, standing over the many corpses of the conquered or maybe it was something else, the saiyan wouldn't have been able to explain it but what he did know, was that looking back.. he missed the life of the warrior.

Regardless, he shook his head and snapped out of it. He didn't really want to waste anymore time thinking about his former life and what could've been if he continued, really it had been pointless to do so. Thinking about it wouldn't bring it back, it wouldn't make it happen all over again. It was a thing from the past and that's where it was going to remain for the rest of his life. He had new and better things to do in his life and surely, something was going to show him the way. He just needed to find out what it was.

At this point in time Athren would've observed a floating box underneath him, it had obviously been some left over cargo from the ship that had just sank to the ocean depths. Whatever was in these crates must've had some kind of value to it, right? It had to be something worthwhile risking lives for. Athren was bound determined to find out exactly what it was, hell.. maybe it wasn't even going to be something special. Gripping the box he would've lifted it over his shoulder and blasted off with it. He was going to open it at a nice, safe, secure location. One where he wouldn't get distracted or spotted doing it. After all, surely somebody was keeping track of the ship and all of it's cargo and he didn't want to be under that persons radar.
