Kobura: *grunts while regaining consciousness, slowly opening his eyes, but everything is blurry* G-ghhhaaaaahh… What… happened…? *as soon as his vision clears up, all he sees is Tori's masked face mere inches away from his own, making him jump up and fall out of the bed* AAAAAAH!!
Tori: Good morning, my student. How are you feeling? *sips some tea through the mask*
Kobura: Ugh… Like both of you are assholes for scaring me. *sits up, rubbing his head* But… not the best.
Tori: Mm, mm… I could tell. Your aura is more wild than how it was before, more dangerous. Filled with fear.
Kobura: *growls under his breath, looking off to the side* …
Tori: Something happened to her, did it? To the young Azura? *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable silence theme plays*

Kobura: *a vein prods on his head* Yeah, something did fucking happen. That's why I came here.
Tori: Tell me, Kobura. Tell me what led you to seek guidance here.
Kobura: *about to tear up, closes eyes and looks away* I… need to make sure it doesn't happen again… No matter how hard I try, it feels as though my entire being hit a wall.
Tori: Hmmmm… *scratches his chin* To think, something had created such a spiritual blockage within my most passionate student. I thought it impossible.
Kobura: Don't talk highly of me. I don't deserve it… *stands up, walking to the door* Look, I just need your guidance. This kind've wall is something unlike I've ever felt before.
Tori: You still sound hesitant to admit this.
Kobura: *scoffs under his breath* I meant what I said those years ago. *looks back at Tori, bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep he's been having until now* I've died more times than I can count since that bastard stuck himself into my mind. Only difference is… I never got the luxury of a bag to hold my corpse. Only a scar in my memory that just won't leave…
Tori: *let's out a sigh, taking off his mask and showing his face to Kobura, frowning* I am so sorry you are going through this… You made the right decision, returning here. We will help you in any way we can, Kobura. *grins reassuringly, like a loving father*
Kobura: *hesitates, slowly lowering his head in shame* T-Thank you, Tori. I'm sorry, but… even now, it's hard for me to go into detail. Not without seeing that nightmare that's stuck in my head.
Tori: Do not worry! I have a special training regimen that should free your spiritual blockage. It worked for Nocha, for the most part, so it should be able to help you… for the most part.
Kobura: Now who sounds uncertain…? *crosses his arms frustratingly*
Tori: *lets out a hearty laugh, wiping his eyes after* Ah, you two and your sly remarks… I had missed it.
*It goes back to the house, Blueberry walks over to Freezer's door and knocks*
Freezer: If it isn't about me leaving this room I don't want to hear it…
Blueberry: Well then, sit there and listen… *she crosses her arms and leans on the wall with her right shoulder, as she talks she looks at the door* You gotta come out eventually…
Freezer: Oh! Then let me come out!
Blueberry: Not when you want to act crazy! I need you to come back to your senses…
Freezer: Oh yeah, because I didn't just lose a child due to me failing as a fighter and letting my lover get stomped on or anything…
Blueberry: Don't say that!
Freezer: What else am I supposed to feel?! Like I saved her?! I didn't Blueberry! I fucking failed!
Blueberry: *swings open the door and slams it closed behind her* Quit talking like that!
Freezer: *sitting at the edge of his bed* *the legend of Korra separated ways*

How? How am I not supposed to feel this way?! *stands up* Tell me!! I'm losing my fucking mind Blueberry!! *Blueberry gets an upset face* I've been trying to accept that this has happened, but I can't!! I almost had a fucking kid and I lost it!! *puts his hands on his head, he looks away for a second before turning to her, he lowers his voice a bit* How am I supposed to just accept that…? *lowers his hands to his sides* Do you know how it feels to lose a kid… because you were too weak…? I literally had no option but to watch… *he looks down, his pupils are shaking* I'm a failure… Azura could have died… and I let it happen! *Punches a hole in his wall, grits teeth* But… but then… *he pulls his fist out of the wall, he's looking at his hand, he has a flashback of him beating on Xeras' body, the flashback ends* I killed him… I lost it… *he looks scared like if he seen a ghost* Something in that moment… just took over… That rush… it was… terrifying… *shows him punching Xeras over and over but with a red glitch effect* I wasn't myself… I was… I was…..
Blueberry: *quickly hugs him before he continues, she's crying* I'm… I'm so sorry… *she buries her face in his chest* I'm such a terrible person… *she hugs him tightly* I… I made you a fighter just to protect yourself, but I never warned you about what comes with it…
Freezer: *he starts to tear up*
Blueberry: This is all my fault… I'm so sorry, Freezer…
Freezer: It's not your fault…*Blueberry looks up at him with tears* I hate myself… for the way I think about stuff… I want to save others, but I can't even save someone who causes harm to my family… I hate myself…
Blueberry: *grabs the sides of his face* Don't you ever hate yourself… I didn't teach you to hate yourself… You are not perfect, so don't try to be someone you are not… You will hurt yourself. Physically… *pulls his head down and kiss his gem* …and mentally. *she helps him put on his jacket and makes sure it has no wrinkles and it's straight, adjusting it like a mom would do to their kid in a tuxedo* Now come on… Let's go. *starts walking out*
Freezer: W-wait… What about me staying in here…?
Blueberry: We need you. Azura needs you. You can handle it… You don't have to accept all of the negatives instantly, but remember that it can't be a burden forever…
Freezer: *hesitates, his pupils shake*
Blueberry: *looks back at him with a smile* I know you can do this Freezer… You are strong… I didn't raise you to be weak… There is a reason you are the best… *walks out but leaves the door open*
Freezer: *his eyes have a shine in them as he tears up, he walks out behind her*
Blueberry: We will be having a picnic, so if you have something you have to get done I would do it now… *walks over to Azura's door and knocks*
Azura: *She opens it with her hair everywhere* Hey Blue…
Blueberry: Come on… I can't have you looking like this all the time… I'm setting up a picnic so we can go get some fresh air…
Azura: Funnnnnn… *tries to close the door*
Blueberry: *gets in the way* Azura! You gotta come out! It's going to be fun! We will make burgers! Hotdogs! Sausages!
Azura: *trying to close the door* Sounds like so much fun… Let me sleep on it…
Blueberry: You have to come out eventually!
Freezer: I-is it okay if I see Azura…?
Blueberry: *smiles* Of course…
Freezer: *he walks over and puts his hands between the crack of the door and wall and slowly opens it*
Azura: H-hey! You are supposed to let me win these! *Azura hops from behind the door letting it open fully with an cute upset face* Blueeeee!! I thought you understood my personal space— *sees Freezer* *dragon ball super broly memories of bah theme plays*

F-FREEZER-!!! *runs and hugs him*
Freezer: *he catches her and holds her tight* Hey babe… *starts to tear up*
Azura: *tears up* I thought—! I thought—!! I thought you—!!! *Suddenly starts ugly crying again, she's trying to talk while she is crying, it sounds like gibberish but she is saying "I thought you weren't coming back!!" "You had me worried!!" "I thought I lost you!!" And "Never leave me again!!"*
Freezer: Babe! Okay okay! *Holds her tightly* Look, I'm sorryyy…
Blueberry: *smiles* I know I can trust you Freezer, so I will let you two be… *walks away*
Freezer: Babe… I…
Azura: *covers his mouth* N-nopenopenope!! Don't speak! *She has tears coming down her face* I don't want to talk about it!! I can't handle thinking about it!!
Freezer: *hugs her tightly, tears up badly* I can't either… I can't…!! *They sit there hugging each other crying* But please… I want to talk about it eventually…
Azura: *she nods* But I haven't seen you in a while, so I want to have the same fun we always did… *smiles with tears* Please don't have our first day seeing each other be terrible…
Freezer: *Freezer smiles with tears as well* Okay… *carries her* Then let's go to Blue's picnic then… *he walks out of the room*
*it goes to Kronus' house, he's looking at a book reading, he can't stop thinking about it, he puts a bookmark in and closes the book, he puts his hands on his face, trying to stay strong but can't help but tears up, suddenly he gets a knock on his door, he quickly cleans his face and opens the door* *dragon ball super Beerus' tea time theme plays*

Kronus: *he sees Blueberry* Hello Blue! How's everything at home?
Blueberry: Fantastic actually! Freezer and Azura have finally come out of their rooms!
Kronus: Oh, that is fantastic news!
Blueberry: I actually came to tell you that the picnic will be happening soon, so please show up! They would love to see you!
Kronus: Of course! I will be there in a bit! I have to do some cleaning, then I will be there.
Blueberry: See you soon! *Flies off*
Kronus: *has a small smile* I'm glad they are okay… *exhales* But I cannot forgive myself… Just be grateful they are okay. *closes his door, picks up his book and puts it away* *it goes back to the house, Freezer is walking around in the yard*
Freezer: Where are ya…? *He looks around before getting an idea, he flies to the training area to see Luna laying by a tree* There you are! *Her head perks up fast, she suddenly gets up and runs to him* Hey girl! How's it been! *She starts to jump as she whines, licking him like crazy* I know I know! I thought I would come and find you since Azura went to look pretty with her makeup and stuff, even though she doesn't need it! Ain't I right? *Luna barks* That's right! *Pets her* Who's a good girl?! *Rubs her stomach but suddenly he sees his fist in her stomach, he jumps back with a scream but he realizes it was his fist in Xeras, he breathes hard* *Luna whines as she tries to get close* I'm… I'm sorry Luna… I… I don't know what came over me just then… *gets up and pets her* (To Be Continued...)
