"Mister Retane, I just wanted to tell you, that I am sorry." The young girl stated as she looked up at the green warrior. She was fidgeting and the Emerald Warrior could tell that she was nervous looking at him. Her eyes portrayed her innocence and caring, as well as her sincerity. It was almost a completely different person from their last encounter, where she had yelled at him and accused him of being a gremlin, which Arith had been the instigator of.
Perhaps she was impressionable, maybe it had to deal with her age. The namekian was unsure but knelt down getting to her level, trying his hardest not to have a stern look on his face. If he knew how to flash a smile, he would, but right then and there, he couldn't force one, "What is you name, kid?"
"Kelsie", the young blonde spoke as she nodded affirmation. The namekian could see that she was trying to be brave and felt almost uneasy at his tall stature so he knelt down to her level.
"Then I am sorry as well ." The Emerald Warrior knew she was just a child and most likely didn't know much better so it was something he could forgive with ease. He wasn't here to cause a fight, but instead, to see the Horsemen flourish. This child was not evil, and didn't need to be berated again for her mistakes. Her prejudice could be understood to a certain extent, but the green warrior had planned on wiping such ignorance from the omniverse soon. They would know what a namekian and a Member of the Horsemen truly were soon enough, and never confuse his kin with goblins, orcs or even so called gremlins.
The young girl offered her hand with a smile and after a few moments the nemekian shook the small hand with his own as her lips spread wider upon her visage. "You will have to excuse me, but your Morikage is waiting for me."
The blonde girl gave a nod and smiled once more before turning and running towards the marketplace, where her mother waited on her. The leader of the Horsemen stood up and looked at the other six around him. Jack Frost and Inrtias were smiling. The ninja and the Champion of Lythia were masked and wether they two were grinning, the namekian couldn't be certain. He turned without a word and headed towards the tower where Lady Tsunade would be waiting.
---------------
"So you are back here again, Retane", the head of Mokugakure observed from behind her intertwined fingers. This was actually the third time that the Leader of the Horsemen and his comrades had been here. The other two times had been after the green warrior had met Jack Frost and they got their first taste of the Tangled Greens' hospitality. The two returned after they completed a cooperative mission with a few ninja to track down the scum they had called Gollum.
The namekian pondered exactly where the slimy bastard was, and looked back Jack Frost. If Gollum ever escaped custody of the ninja village, he would most likely try to track the Guardian of Fun down once again. Retane was sure however, that the pale green humanoid would have a problem taking on the ice wielder and not be able to catch him off guard like before. The namekian wondered how another confrontation would go between the two and would easily put omnilium on Jack Frost to become the victor without any assistance at all.
"Yeah, it would seem so." Retane had looked back to Lady Tsunade. "Shall we cut to the chase, perhaps?"
"What exactly is the chase?" Lady Tsunde questioned calmly.
"As you know, I have given birth to six eggs." The namekian started as the Morikage gave a nod in confirmation. "I'm here to offer you one, Probitas."
"Offer us one, mercenary? Why exactly? I can't grasp my mind around that one fully." Lady Tsunade had flashed a slight grin as she had called Retane a mercenary.
The Emerald Warrior caught the change in visage as he looked the experienced woman deep in her eyes, "I think that he could learn a lot from you and your village. Perhaps things I might not be able to teach him. My life tends to be chaotic to say the least. Call him an ambassador, if you will, to represent The Horsemen and his kin."
"And you don't think you would be the best candidate to represent your kin?" Lady Tsuade questioned.
"I told you before, I am not the best representation for my kind. I could be, for the Horsemen, however." The namekian felt as if he was being judged on each question and how he answered.
"Well, Retane, let see if I got all this straight. You are quite an anomaly in these parts, and the Omniverse as a whole, but I think I am getting a clearer picture of you. You sent an egg to Ambrosia right? With strict instructions that the leader, Guu must be the one that receives it? I see that Jack Frost is also carrying one, and you have Probitas in that carrier ther on your back right? Where are the other three? I am curious."
"Naturae was sent to Ambrosia, yes. I sent her there because of the actions I observed from Guu in the Abyss. She felt right to be under her guidance and tutelage. Jack was initially going to get Probitas, but he wanted Krosst. Dante and Reatus are sitting in the vault of Jade Reckoning awaiting their time to hatch..." The green warrior paused thinking about mentioning the sixth one, but hoped he wouldn't have to and left it as that. He was wrong in his hopes.
"Yes, I heard you finally made it to your home. I'm glad to hear that, but what of the other one? That was only five that you mentioned." Lady Tsunade hadn't missed his hesitation.
"Triumpht, it seems has already chose his own path before he has even hatched, and is traveling with another I fought in Dante's Abyss." The namekian felt no reason to lie. Perhaps the Emerald Warrior had even felt a bit of pride when he stated it. These namekians were not drones. They were their own persons and would grow and flourish, just as any namekian should.
"I see", the Morikage said as she heard a noise
Retane heard it too, and felt it in his mind and on his back. It seemed that Probitas was ready to be hatched and wanted to come out. The Leader of the Horsemen snatched the strapped pouch off his back and cut it open, palming the overly large egg as it ripped through the rest of the fabric. The warrior saw the cracks in the oval object and saw that it was glowing a greenish-white through the crevices. It shook in the palm and the namekian threw his second hand up to try and stabilize the egg, as he placed it on the ground and stepped back a few steps. This would be the first time he had ever seen his offspring born.
The hardened roe cracked and parted it shell with ease after a few moments of pushes from the outstretching limbs of the innocent being from inside. After a few hushed moments from everyone in the room, the first ever hatched namekian in the Omniverse stood there, the shells laying beneath his feet. He stood about the height of the bottom of Retane's knee, but was glowing and growing. The spurt didn't last long and Probitas never even reached the length of his mid-abdomen.
The Leader of the Horsemen looked at the young namekian as the white glow subsided and watched him quietly. Retane watched the new born in silence, just as everyone else did. Probitas looked a lot younger then Retane, almost as if a child and wore loose white pants, as well as a loose vest that matched. He had sandals of the same color. The young namekian reached in the pouch and picked up the box and the the purple bandanna meant for him and pocketed it.
Probitas looked around, smiling at everyone until he found Retane and his smile grew even further as he ran up to the Emerald Warrior with arms wide open. Retane hesitated and started to kneel down before a young girl with blonde hair passed the Emerald Warrior by and met the young namekian with a warm embrace.
Retane watched the two entangle in friendship, and realized that it was Kelsie from before. He looked up for an explanation from Lady Tsunade, but the Kage was no where to be seen. He heard the Morikage's voice from behind him and shivered. "Let it go, and follow me outside."
The namekian started to object and thought about reaching out towards his son, but the smile on the child's face mace him stop. The mercenary was sure his son was in good hands and turned and followed with the rest of his crew.
As they exited the main room and the large doors were closed Lady Tsunade spoke, "Her name is Kelsie, as you know, and she has premonitions, or dreams. I already know you were bringing something good to us, and had already decided that I would accept it. I know about Guu and Ambrosia, and you have actually impressed me with your prowessness, even after that fight with that swordsmen where you held back. I think I see where your thoughts and heart lies and such, but I had to test you today. You do have a strong heart, it seems and I watched you personally when you met Kelsie. Trust me when I say that Probitas will be in good hands."
The namekian had watched it all sudden, he hadn't even said hello to his son. Perhaps it was better that way? He was the most pure child he had ever produced. Why taint what was such good? He looked back to the Orikage, realizing he needed a distraction and had to remember he was here for a reason.. "You have agreed to what we spoke about so far, so about the rest of the deal?"
The Morikage flashed two envelopes in front The mercenay as an answer, "I have two missions you may like. One will take you towards the Pale Moors, Te other to the Ashen Steppes. You can go see your son if you wish, before you choose.
The Emerald Warrior looked to his comrades and paused for a few moments. He looked back, hearing the girl so happy, and looked back to Jack Frost. It was time to kick them all out of the nes,t he had decided, and let off a small grin. He looked back to the female ninja leader and grabbed both folders, "We are the Horsemen. Jack Frost will take the Ashen Steppes. I will handle the job located in the Pale Moors."
Lady Tsunade seemed to want to question the choice but instead gave a nod.
-------------
Retane stood outside the gates of the ninja village, thinking and almost feeling regret, but only let out a sigh as he looked to Jack Frost. "First mission as a mercenary and representing The Horsemen. Think you can handle it?"
Perhaps she was impressionable, maybe it had to deal with her age. The namekian was unsure but knelt down getting to her level, trying his hardest not to have a stern look on his face. If he knew how to flash a smile, he would, but right then and there, he couldn't force one, "What is you name, kid?"

I refuse to lose this battle,

I am stronger then my rival,
