"Well, uh, maybe it could increase your power level, and, that might at least help." Then, he reached his ship. Looking at Zaria, he said, "Come on." Then, he got in his ship.

Malachi chuckled as Mitsuki took off her rather tall shoes. She looked to be at least five inches shorter now that she wasn't standing on them. Malachi nodded with a smile, taking off his own shoes as he did this. "I wouldn't have it any other way," he said, setting his shoes next to his side of the platform. He stepped up and reached his hand out towards Mitsuki. Hold onto my hand for balance. We'll dance together." Malachi put a coin into each side and selected a song that sounded like it had a good beat, but wasn't of too high a difficulty. "Ready? It's about to start."

"My power level?" Zaria asked herself as she got onto the ship after Heater "Yeah, that could help me out a bit"

Heater smiled at her. "Yeah, it probably will." Then, he revved up the ship's engines. "Alright, we should be ready to blast off, about.........Now." Then, the ship blasted off.

Zaria gave a smile back to Heater as she had sat down, now more or less waiting for the ship to arrive at its destination.

Mitsuki grinned and swirled her staff around once in her hand, as she did so the staff turned from solid metal into a mist that scattered away into the air. Now that she was read Mitsuki adjusted Mogi slightly so she would be able to see the game screen better and lept onto the dance area. She watched Malachi select the song and was surprised to see that she recognized it. "I love this song!" Mitsuki said with a grin as the opening of "You Spin Me(Right Round)" by Dead or Alive began to play. Mitsuki took a few quick breaths as the arrows began heading up the screen, Mitsuki grinned triumphantly at the fact that despite this being her first time playing she was doing pretty well as far as she could tell, out of the corner of her eye she watched Malachi play as well, she was fairly certain he was doing better but then again he likely had more experience with the game. Through all the loud music and constant music the sewn shut eyes on Mitsuki's hat opened slowly glowing a faint yellow. After a rather long nap Mogi finally decided to join the world once again, however he was fairly certain that he was still in a dream as he couldn't quite tell what was going on. The living hat blinked a few times before noticing that Malachi was here as well, he guess that whatever was going on it was apart of a date that Malachi and Mitsuki were on, realizing this Mogi decided to go back to sleep, he didn't exactly feel like getting on Mitsuki's bad side as he had no means to escape her wrath.

Malachi, having played the game a few times before, was able to keep up with the arrows quite well. He glanced to his side every now and again during the slow parts of the song to see how Mitsuki was holding up. Surprisingly she was doing quite well. As he saw this he thought, Perhaps there is something to the old saying that fighting is just a dance with an opponent. he smiled at himself and at the good time they were having together. For the first time in his life, Malachi wasn't just a powerful warrior or a martial artist in training. He was finally a normal person who didn't have a care in the world. No saving the universe, no fighting off some criminal, no sparring with a strong rival...somehow this filled a huge gap in his emotions. Not just love, but a plethora of other feelings as well. The most important one of all being a sense of self and a sense of belonging. He wasn't the great hero to be alienated and praised anymore. Now he was just the guy out with his girlfriend having fun.
"Haha, I told you this was great."

Mitsuki could sense Mogi waking up but since he seemed to be in a less then talkative mood she kept her focus on the game and Malachi, like Malachi she would glance over when the song started to slow down. Mitsuki was a bit disappointed as she could tell that the song was starting to reach it's end. "Well you were right" Mitsuki said with a very happy grin to Malachi "Do you think we could do another song after this one?" Mogi watched the duo with a bit of interest, he could quite clearly remember that not to long ago Mitsuki wouldn't have done any of this even if she had to but with just a bit of time with Malachi she had made a complete transformation. Mogi didn't much care which side Mitsuki was on, so long as he wasn't stuffed away like some mere normal magical item he was happy, and if the witch who he lent his power to was happy as well then it was all for the best.

As Malachi danced away to the beat with a smile on his face he noted Mitsuki doing the same. He also took note of Mogi's movement, but only for a moment. When Mitsuki spoke he replied, "I told you it was fun. When I was about eight my mom brought me to the local arcade in Hercule city a lot. I went from time to time after she was no longer around, too, just to see what the competition was like. I'm not as good now as I was then. As for another song, I wouldn't say no to that!" He exclaimed as they both made it through the final leg of the song.
"I'll let you pick this one."

Mitsuki giggled as she listened to Malachi and envisioned a very tiny version of Malachi dancing on the DDR machine. She then turned her focused back onto the game as they were quickly approaching the end. "Your probably still better than a lot of people, you definitely get more exercise than most normal people. If you don't mind me asking what happened to your mom?" She asked as the song ended and there scores and how much they hit and missed were displayed on the screen, Mitsuki had missed a goof few steps but far less than what most normal first time players miss. She then started looking through the songs while she waited for Malachi's response.

Malachi sighed. He knew that he would have to tell her at some point. "The people who took care of me...I call her my mom, weren't my real parents, however, when I was very young they were murdered. By who I don't remember, but when I got home to our apartment from school that day I remember seeing them and running. I saw their bodies and I ran. Ran all the way out of town to my grandfather's house. When I got there, he had suffered the same fate. I had been left alone. With no one other than myself. As far as I knew at that point, I had no siblings." He took a breath and then continued.
"For the rest of my life I lived alone. I went to school until I graduated high school and the whole time I kept up my martial arts training just like my grandfather had wanted. Originally I sought revenge, but it never came. Then I got mixed up in a conflict that the other warriors of Earth were already involved in. We fought and defeated Dr. Mech, a mad scientist who controlled and warped normal humans into vicious killing machines. Paige was the only one of their group that we managed to save. You've met her before back at the hospital, although only briefly."
"Anyway, somewhere in all of that chaos, Hyede helped me realize something. Even though my intent was different, I'd become the same as those who murdered my family. Still I didn't feel right. Almost like a piece of me was there that shouldn't have been. After some time, just before everything started with Ater I found out that my mother was still very much alive. This also revealed that I was half dragon since my mother was of draconic lineage. Still, those people raised me. I regret to this day my inability to avenge their death..."

Mitsuki halted her song search as Malachi began essentially explaining his life, Mitsuki was quite amazed that Malachi had had such an eventful life, then again it made sense that someone who was basically the protector of the universe would have such an interesting life. "Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your parents Malachi.. I sound like an overall really bad person when I describe my history, but yours just makes you sound exactly like what you are, the best person I know." Mitsuki said giving Malachi a smile, she half hoped that Malachi wouldn't actually ask for her to talk about her history especially now after he had just told her about his. Mitsuki glanced over at her DDR screen and saw a song and decided the best way to avoid talking bout her history would be to start the game. "I uhh I found a song if your ready to play again." Mitsuki said flipping the song selector down a few notches by accident.

Malachi didn't really make any motions, he only stood there as she spoke. "Don't be sorry, Mitsuki. I've realized that things like that happen all over the universe. That's why I fight. To stop things like that from happening so everyone I know doesn't have to endure the same."
He then stopped. He listened to her ask if he was ready to play and he nodded, a smile returning to his face. "We can play again, absolutely. Whenever you're ready."
Ah! Finally...I can sense Helena's energy. It's...on Namek? And it's violently active? What the hell? He didn't let this show on his facial expressions, though, and waited for Mitsuki to start the song.

It was then when Zaria had appeared, looking around before finding Malachi "Mal!" she called out as she rushed over to him "I uh, I mean, we need some help, something came from the sky on Namek when me and Heater were training and the women started to cause some trouble, talking about a Guru or something" Zaria spoke straight away, doing her best to explain the situation to him, even though it did sound rather confusing in a manner of speaking.

Mitsuki was just about to hit the start button when Zaria arrived frantically asking Malachi for help protecting New Namek from some woman who was attacking it. Mitsuki sighed and as she did felt a nauseating pain flow through her body giving her the feeling that she was about the throw up. Mitsuki quickly covered her mouth and slowly leaned against the DDR machine hoping that her stomach pain would subside quickly.
