Dragonball Xenoverse - Side Story

"So now that we've got a general idea of what the time patrol is... Where to next?" Izaroth said with a hint of curiosity on his voice, disregarding the Majin that just ATE an entire glass. Trunks had effectively opened Pandora's Box in piquing his interest, and he was keen to continue on with the tour.

"What the hell am I doing...? I should really be signalling the Escutcheon to come pick me up and hightail it the f**k out of here, not going along with this."

"...Hm." Was Izaroth's response as he took a bite out of his sandwich, looking at Blaze as she demolished her choices of food... And questioning whether or not she'd have a bad stomach ache for it later.

"Saiyans are known for their immense appetite and lack of table manners at the dinner table. Could she be a Saiyan too?" Izaroth thought to himself as he returned to his sandwich, opting to eat with a lot less haste than Blaze.

"I guess I'm not exactly a good Saiyan role model in that regard, though I'm used to eating less anyway. Gotta eat conservatively when you're travelling the cosmos, otherwise you'll be out of food supplies within a week. Plus it's probably for the better if I keep the knowledge I'm a Saiyan hush-hush for now."

Turning to look back at Trunks once he'd finished his sandwich, he simply shrugged at him.

"Just out of curiosity, what races compose the ranks of the Time Patrol?"

"Kind of understandable, I wouldn't exactly be eager to put trust in someone who claimed to have the solution for all my problems if I'd literally only just met them five minutes ago." Izaroth said as he took a seat, before promptly looking through the menu.

"Quite the selection here..." Izaroth said to no-one in particular, before settling on a ham and cheese sandwich, since he figured Trunks didn't want to wait too long for them to finish eating. He probably wanted to finish showing the two of them around before the sun set.

"Capsules that contain whole buildings? Kinda hard to believe, but you could probably carry a whole ICU in one of those things, going by that logic..."

Izaroth was also caught by surprise that a capsule small enough to fit in the palm of your hand could contain an object of that size.

"...How did I not know about this company until now?" Izaroth said, blinking a few times as the realization that such technology existed set in.

"...There must be so many applications for that kind of technology." Izaroth thought to himself as he followed after Trunks.

Now that Pandora's box had been opened, however, Izaroth had so many questions running through his head, but he figured he'd ask the most obvious one.

"That capsule technology of yours. Is there any real limit as to what can and cannot be put into a capsule?"

"...Capsule Corporation? Unusual name, but I'm guessing that's for a reason?" Izaroth asked, looking around with a degree of curiosity as they walked.

"...Either way, everything here seems to be running like clockwork. No pun intended, considering the giant gears over there. Everything's just so pristine around here. More than I can say for most cities I've been to of late." Izaroth said, fixing his gaze on Trunks.

"...He said his mother helped set things up here. Is she the CEO of Capsule Corporation or is that his job now?" Izaroth thought to himself as he continued his observations.

Izaroth was about to make a response, before the sound of his stomach growling caught him by surprise.

"...Oh geez. I got so caught up in reading my book and the events that followed, I forgot that I've not had lunch yet..." Izaroth said, looking around the immediate area.

"...I hope you don't mind if we grab a bite to eat first? I likely won't be able to concentrate on what's being said on an empty stomach, and I suspect Blaze here wouldn't mind some breakfast either." Izaroth said, turning to look back at Trunks.

Izaroth, however, remained quiet between Blaze and Trunks' exchange of dialogue, mulling over the facts of the situation, only really piping up after he was called out to introduce himself.

"Izaroth Aestorm. If you can't pronounce my name properly, then just call me Izzy instead." Izaroth said, before folding one arm over his chest, gripping his chin with the other and resting that arm's elbow on the folded arm as he put two and two together in his head.

"...I think Porunga didn't call forth already established warriors for a reason." Izaroth said, before glancing at Blaze for a moment.

"If Porunga summoned two skilled warriors, their pride or their personality, or some combination, may prevent them from forming a proper degree of camaraderie. In other words, they might be at each others throats more often than those of their enemies. Whereas two warriors who've yet to realise their full potential... They can forge that bond as they help improve each other's strength." Izaroth said, before looking back to Trunks.

"Though, I think you might want to give Blaze a means to inform anyone who knows her why she suddenly disappeared. I doubt she'll be able to commit to this if she's concerned about the state of affairs back home." Izaroth said, before taking a deep breath.

"As for me, I generally travel alone aboard my starship, never staying in one place for too long. A nomad, if you will. I'll just need to trigger my homing beacon at some point so my starship comes here on autopilot. Never know when I might need it."

"...Looks like I'm postponing my afternoon nap..." Izaroth said once his feet had touched solid ground.

"So, mind telling why the hell you bought us here in the first place? She's barely been up half an hour and I was just getting to the good part in my book." The white-haired Saiyan said, looking rather annoyed at the whole turn of events.

"And you'd better give me an exact answer. I'm in no mood for games."

Given the cue when Blaze shot him in the back, Izaroth promptly vanished, and appeared above Trunks before crashing both fists down on the half-saiyan's head. He wasn't stopping there though; holding both hands out diagonally upward behind him, he then fired two Ki-Blasts powerful enough to blast him in the direction he was aiming, yet short enough of range that it wouldn't cause any damage to the surroundings. The whole point of this was so Izaroth could promptly strike Trunks in the back with his feet while he was still reeling, and knock him to the ground.

"Remind me to teach you the vanish technique at some point." Izaroth said, looking at Blaze as he spoke, before turning his gaze to Trunks.

Without saying a word, Izaroth swiftly vanished from where he was, reappearing out of sight, masking his power level, and waited for Trunks to take the bait, thinking Trunks would assume he'd reappear behind him and subsequently try to turn around and strike him, with fist or sword remained to be seen, only to hit nothing.

Once Trunks had indeed taken the bait, Izaroth initiated step two of his plan; Vanishing once more and reappearing behind Trunks, Izaroth then launched the purple-haired swordsman skyward with the backflip kick mentioned in the plan, though not before shouting out "PULL!", signalling it was Blaze's turn to act.

"Your time to shine. Make it count." Izaroth said to himself, looking up at Trunks and Blaze.
