[Retane]

The Emerald Warrior turned from the crew as Arith and Inirtias faded from form and turned into the shadow mist, which dissapated a few moments later. Retane looked down at his two sons which looked up at him confused. The Leader of the Horsemen studied their faces, unsure of what to make of them. Reatus lip was tremblinlg ever to slightly and Dante's eyes had narrorwed just barely.The three had a staring competition, neither one flinching or making a move until Retane finally had to ask, "What is it?"

Reatus was first to respond, "You're leaving us?"

"Yeah, why cant we go with you? " Dante spoke up, almost sounding upset.

Retane scoffed for a moment and almost grinned, " So you two want to go with me on a mission that could be dangerous? You two still have the smell of fresh egg on you and think it's a smart idea for you to come with me on a mission that I actually have very little knowledge on? Better then staying here and defending Jade Reckoning and honing your skills where you are safe?"

Dante nodded, "We can help! We promise!"

"Plus we are family, and family should stick together, I think..." Reatus had spoke up and ended up trailing off, and there was a sadness in his eyes. Being the father, Retane could tell and understand the young namek's confusion as they were the only two left at The Horsemens headquarters while the other four were else where. After a moment Retane , while leaning towards the idea of perhaps taking the most eager, came to a simple conclusion.

"You both can come, but you will have to do exactly what I say. Anyone that doesn't, will most definately be stuck in the compound until I think they are truly ready and much more exereinced. Is that a deal?" Retane was stern, but deep inside he wanted to grin as both his children smiled and shouted , 'Yeah' at the same time.

Sasha called back that they were to young but Retane waved her off and nodded at young namekian sons and grinned.

Outside the entrance of Jade Reckoning, the crimson-leafed tree's door slid closed and returned to looking like a plain uncommon tree. Retane reached into his pocket and produced the chip that represented his communicator and upgrades. He held it out to the sibling namekians and pressed it into his flesh. His right eye flashed red for a moment , he felt a slight tingle in his ear, a back molar fel strange and a black slender band appeared around his wrist. Where the chip once was, the Emerald Warrior saw nothgin but flesh but with a bit of concetration, he knew he could locate and remove the device as simple as he placed it into his flesh.

Dante and Reatus saw what he did and pulled out similar chips and looked at each other, and with a nod, placed the chips into their arms, just as their father had. After a few moments Reatus wore something similar to a green scouter over his left eye while Dante wore a single ear peice and a green wristband, slightly bigger then Retane's. The Emerald Warrior coud only find amusment at their distinct choices. THe two brothers looked at each other and smiled with nods at their accomplishments.

Retane decided it was time to take them on a test run, "Keep up!" With that, he turned around and took off in a run, kicking up a slight bit of dust and debri on purpose as he went. He heard the laughs of the namekian siblings as they cheered and started after him.
