Okora suddenly dove in front of them, using her own body to shield them from the fire. Tobias, still keeping a strong grip on Grisha’s head, screamed at her, “No! Okora!” Grisha’s convulsion shifted as a glower hardened on his face. His teeth clenched into a scowl before they came apart in an enraged bellow. His body went rigid as a gale erupted around them. Tobias felt an eldritch power pulling on his body, trying to throw him skyward. The winds caused his clothes to ripple. Ribbons and beads of sea water surged into the air in a twister. Tobias’s blue eyes were lost in awe. He saw the water twisting and spiraling into the sky and felt an overwhelming mixture of emotions: fear, confusion, and fascination. Was Grisha doing this? Tobias was baring his teeth in his effort to resist being thrown into the air by the mysterious gale. He found himself, having to grip whatever blades of Grisha’s hair he could. He was rising off his knees. Just before Tobias could be pulled into the sky, there was an explosion. A white wave of sand and pressure slammed into them, throwing Tobias, Grisha, and possibly even Okora into deeper water. For a moment, Tobias fell unconscious when he struck the water. His body sank into the blue as the surface overhead churned from the disturbance. He came to on dryland. Not only that, he could feel an artificial turf beneath him. Tobias’s eyes fluttered open and he saw the deck of a boat stretched out before him. The older man moaned and slowly pushed off the floor to sit upwards. He grasped his face, trying to dull the headache he had from the blast. He heard a voice that wasn’t Okora ask him if he was all right. He lowered his hand to see that it was Clove and she was treating the others. If they had been in any other situation, Tobias would have raised his hackles at being called ojiisan. Not even ojisan. He waved her off. “I’m fine.” Speaking of brute, Tobias looked over at Grisha, and he could see that he was calm and resting. The shockwave could have ended his fit. “He has a…” Tobias ran his fingers through his blond hair. “We call them fits. He doesn’t realize he has them. My daughter and I think that he may have some brain damage. We found both him and Okora in the ice just not at the same time. She came out fine though. I guess she’s a lucky one.” Tobias shifted so that he was on his knees and bowed. “Thank you for saving us,” he thanked Clove. WC: 446 Total: 9,944 Tagging: @null Okora Clove Jade

Okora stared up at the sky with unblinking eyes. In a way, she felt like she was back in the ice. She could feel her body was in quite a bit of pain and was most likely going to fail soon. But at the moment, she wasn't even really aware of her surroundings at this point. Instead, in her mind she was in a very far away place and a very different time.
Flashback
"Come on! You can do better than that! At least try to start going for the head at least!" Tabaga stared down at Okora with a bemused expression as the Saiyan handler continued slamming the younger Saiyan woman to the ground over and over. "He's gonna keep beating the hell out of you if you don't." The handler shook his head and pulled out the device that Okora both hated and feared. "It looks like further incentive is needed." He growled and pressed the red button on it. Okora let out a massive scream of pure agony and a moment later, she launched herself directly at the handler and went straight for his throat. Her eyes blazed with hatred and flashed red as she hacked and slashed with wild abandon.
The handler barely was able to bring his hands up in time to cover his throat from the somewhat unexpected attack and Tabaga slammed into her from her unprotected side and did her best to restrain her. "Wow! She really got pissed off this time. Might be a good idea to let her calm down a little bit before we start training though. I think she's in the mood to kill rather then fight right now." The handler looked at Okora with cold, emotionless eyes and nodded. "Agreed. However, she did just try to kill me so I feel I am owed this." He hit the button again. And again and again and Okora let out anguished shrieks of pain and rage. Despite Tabaga being somewhat bloodthirsty, even she felt a bit bad for Okora in this particular situation.
After the seventh shock, Tabaga grabbed the remote and scowled at him. "That's enough. I want her to learn how to fight, but what your doing right now is just torturing her." The handler stared at Tabaga and raised his fist at her. "The King will hear of this. He wants this weapon ready for battle and you are interfering with that." Tabaga smirked at him. "Maybe I should let her loose on you and let her kill you. How does that sound?" The handler gulped and stepped back. Okora was practically foaming at the mouth and seemed almost feral at this point. If she could get hold of him, it wouldn't be pretty. "That won't be necessary. Enjoy the rest of your day and keep an eye on her."
The handler walked away while doing his best to keep his eye on Okora until he was out of sight. Tabaga looked down at her self-proclaimed friend who she had been forced to put into an arm lock to keep her from attack anyone. "I really wish I could destroy that damn thing. But they'd kill you if I did."
Okora did nothing but growl and snarl at Tabaga. Right now she couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Flashback Ends
Okora's eyes fluttered once and she tried to find her voice. "C-Can't..move." She whispered hoarsely as she tried to move her body but failed miserably. Tagging Grisha @null Jade Clove

“You’re safe, Okora-san.” The stim pack was injected for her since she admitted being unable to move. It was an adrenaline shot to boost her natural healing abilities and to resist the cold snap after falling in frigid waters. The first aid kit had an metallic emergency blanket to cover the saiyan woman with.
“Huddle together since the water was cold and you both need to help each other stay warm.”
Clove stood up as she looked over to the same direction Jade was staring at after recovering from the blast of the bunker explosion, it was Barlei flaring up his power level like a flare signal, with a nod the pinkette flew over to the direction he was in which is where fishing vessel was drifting away from.
The Tea princess notified the hired helmsman to remove the anchor and to bring them closer to the fishing boat in the distance as well as to the sandbar where she detected two additional notable ki signatures.
Oolong Tea descendants were all capable of changing their appearance, not in the same way as Oolong who could change to the scope of his imagination, the demon blood of his descendants only allowed them to transform into demonic forms of their lineage. Clove changed back to her usual appearance, if she remained in her demon form much longer her ravenous appetite would take over, and she would be unable to sate her appetite in the middle of the frozen south pole.
Instead of a bikini she wore a designer floral kimono, with drop sleeves, and shortened hem line that reached half way down her thighs. It was still not appropriate for the climate but she could not feel the cold snap with her demonic blood. Director Cabbage emerged from below deck, giving Clove a stack of towels for her guests, the horse beastman was visibly trembling from shock until he retreated back to the bridge.
“I see,” Clove answered Tobias as she handed him a towel, “Dry up. Taking a dip in the frigid ice water is not good for the soul unless you’re an expert.”
Grisha was sound asleep compared to the rage he had that almost put his friends in danger, perhaps he understood the consequences for losing control of his fits, and he was possibly emotionally torn from the inside rather than express his concerns outwardly. The two extra towels was placed nearby in case the two Saiyans on the yacht needed them and she walked over to Tobias.
“Technology and medical conditions are not my forte. I have a younger sister who is a mystic healer that could help Grisha-san, she is sometimes in the westernlands, but last time I talked to her she was in the northern lands near the north pole.” After a beat she continued to talk with the blonde man, “Otherwise, I am impressed that you were able to assess his condition this far south away from civilization, your homeland has a good doctor, and I hope he is getting the best treatment apart from having friends who care about him.”
The situation was dangerous before, if Grisha lost his cool, she wondered if Barlei knew about it, and she wondered how his ragtag group was going to survive a Tuffle base without Clove and Jade.
“Tobias-san,” Clove looked over to him with crimson eyes, this time with white sclera instead of the black, “Have you ever heard of Tuffles before? In the past eight hundred years, there is no historical record of Tuffles ever existing, and I was almost killed by them in a different incident. However, some of these bunkers inhibit technology that is far superior to earth’s and have been carbon dated as relics. Only a few people believe they exist, I am one of the few who have met a Tuffle apart from today, they look like ordinary humans and they are not on friendly terms with any earthling. Do you realize how dangerous it is to go after them if not even the World Government is aware of their existence after all this time?”
While she let the facts sink in with Tobias, the yacht finally anchored by the sandbar where Jade was using her healing technique to help two other survivors, Bareli looked like a mess.
Once again Clove sat on the bulwark of her boat, looking down on her co-star, and offered a sly smile, “I was afraid I was going to miss out on getting your autograph when I could no longer detect your ki signature, Barlei-san. Since you can stand, mind getting the fishing boat, before it drifts away into the mist? I will gladly tug it along if the engine is shot, luckily my helmsman is a jack of all trades, and can repair it if there is an issue. Let’s get all the injured situated and check out that bunker again, maybe something survived in wreckage that could be useful for us.”
