It had been a long yet enjoyable, to say the least, day for a team of low class saiyans. The five comrades have just been relaxing in the remains of a city, it's residents exterminated. Horenzo was a medium sized saiyan who had medium lengthed hair that spiked out in the front, wore a black and grey armor without the crotch gaurd, black pants, and sported a blue scouter.
"Yo, Horenzo? Are we leaving? coo'd a drowzy warrior just waking up from a nap. He was the youngest looking saiyan and was a bit smaller then Horenzo, wearing a standard black and brown armor just without the crotch guard, a green scouter. His hair was messy and sort of spiked out and downwards all around his head.
Reeku pushed over the half asleep saiyan from behind and laughed at him as he landed face first. Everyone else joined in after they realized he was completely asleep again. "What the? how can you do that Sayendro?" she said chuckling.
Reeku was the smallest saiyan of the group. She had long hair in a ponytail that waved down her back and her bangs flooped over the sides of her face. She wore a black and sky blue body armor that had only had side gaurds, a navy undershirt, and a pair of baggy black shorts. Unlike most other females who wore white gloves and boots she chose to wear the matching gauntlets and armored boots. She had a blue scouter. Reeku had incredibly good looking features and was quite the looker.
"We're just gonna go back home for a nice earned break and I'm going to try and find us a new assignment." Hornezo said in a mellow tone. He looked down at the ground trying to remember what else. "oh ya, anyone thought this mission was overly difficult?" he asked with a grin already knowing the answer "Because if there's no objections I'm going to try getting us something worthwhile. You know, something to toughen us up."
Tamen and Bayok looked at each other with small smiles on their faces. Tamen was a little taller then Horenzo and wore a full black and green armor, a green scouter, and had short spikey hair. Bayok was the largest and fairly muscular. He wore a full black and dark red armor and a ruby red scouter. He had bushy hair that covered his eyes.
"Find us something real good boss" Tamen said as he walked towards his pod. "this mission was practically a cake walk. Real boring stuff" he added with his amazingly deep voice.
"Don't worry about it you two." Horenzo replied. He looked over towards Sayendro and Reeku who were busy sparring and foolin around. "Come on, we're leavin this dump." The two ran by him to their pods. "Kids.." He muttered to himself with a smile.
Before Horenzo climbed into his, he looked out into the destruction he had caused. He grinned thinking about Frieza's end, something he was set to bring about now a days. He sat back comfortably and blasted off into space.
It was two nights later and the team was enjoying rounds at a pub, feeling fresh and rejuvinated.
"Hey Sayendro, have you gotten rid of the weakness yet?" Tamen questioned mockingly, Bayok supporting him with a sarcastic look.
"No.. not yet" Sayendro sighed looking down at his tail dissappointed with his progress. "Don't worry about it, you'll get there" Reeku whispered to him encouragingly.
Horenzo had just come back from ordering more drinks "Alright boys, two days from now we're headin back out, there's supposedly a bit of a rebellion going on down on one friezas planets. Apparantley even Frieza's elites are being overwhelmed and have even stopped heading in there to calm it down."
"Why doesn't he send Dodoria or Zarbon to do it.?" Reeku asked
"Well that would be the inevitable choice if nobody signed up, but I guess he either wants to prove a point, or doesn't want to look desperate." He responded cooly. "In any case, this'll be a doozy"
"Wait!" Sayendro cried in realization. "Frieza's elites are stronger then us! So how are we going to handle them?"
"That doesn't sound like real Saiyan talk to me" Tamen bellowed. "How many are in this riot boss?"
"fifty, maybe more. Their numbers are increasing along with their hope of regaining freedom" Horenzo replied still keeping his cool while Sayendro began to feel a little sick.
Tamen laughed while Bayok gave an unsatisfied sort of smile. "let me guess, there's a moon out?" Tamen chuckled sarcastically. "I thought you said we were gonna get a challenge"
Reeku and Sayendro sighed in relief.
"Nope, sorry, no moon to fall back on this time boys." the boss smirking now.
Even Bayok's giant figure buckled a little hearing this, struggling to keep his straight face.
"So how strong are these guys again?" Tamen almost croaked.
"I'd say the men from the intial group are ranging from 3,000 to 6,000. The rest of the new additions are easy prey"
The team stared at him in awe of his relaxed expression. Finally Reeku spoke up "so you're saying the five of us are gonna go down there and defeat an army who's majority are stronger then us?"
"sixteen of us" Horenzo corrected. "Say wha?" She blurted in surprise "who else is coming?"
"Well this is gonna be a three team operation to cut our work load down. the men you will be working are here now."
The team looked around the room and saw them. Six low class saiyans walked up to the table where they were sitting. Horenzo stood up and greeted two of them, coincidently the two he greeted looked identical to each other.
"So Bardock how have you been up to?" Horenzo grinned, it's been awhile since I've seen you.
"Oh you know, about as well as you can be when doing Frieza's dirty work." He replied with a smirk.
"Well you're boys are looking in good shape too, guess you're still ahead of the game then." Horenzo acknowledged competively. He had been trying to overcome his old rival's team for a long time, but Bardock's gang has always somehow been able to keep a good power lead on his own.
Horenzo looked over at Bardocks look alike, who he had never actually met or heard about before. "Hey Turles, where is your team at?" He curiously asked
Turles had just finished reading his all of his temporary partner's power levels and sort of sighed. "Hm? oh I didn't think it was a good idea to bring them, you see they aren't actually saiyans and I didn't want any of these other chumps here to get hurt trying to prove something."
Both Horenzo and Bardock gave him a bit of a cold look. "hm?" Horenzo thought about how.. curious it was that a saiyan would fight with another race. "ya I can see what you mean" as looked around the bar of scruff and angry lookin saiyans. Bardock was still a little bitter about the comment. "Well we got a bunch of time to get to know each other so everyone have a good time."
Turles simply shrugged and started walking towards the exit. "Hey where are you going punk" Bardock in a challenging tone. "I only wanted to get a look at the guys I'll be working with. I don't mean offence but I'd rather be doing other things." He replied before he left.
Turles had an unhappy look as he flew off "looks like unfortunately I'll have to watch over those losers for a bit before I continue on"
at the obvious and the two friends walked up to the bar to catch up privatly.
Seripa sat down next to Sayendro "I had no idea that Bardock had a rival"
Sayendro looked at her and then to Reeku with a puzzled shrug. It wasn't so much he didn't know what to say, he just didn't know to much about Hoenzo's history in general. Sayendro only became part of the group a few months ago. "Niether did we" Reeku spoke up.
Tamen, Toma, and Panboukin were all laughing and telling their favourite battle stories while Bayok and Totepo were busy enjoying the food and drinks.
At the end of the night as the new friends were splitting Horenzo shook bardock's hand "I'll see you in a day then I suppose". "Yep, should be fun" Bardock replied.
The team arrived on the planet Tauras to find Bardock already there waiting for them. "Sorry we're late" Horenzo said embarrassed. "No problem" his friend said brushing it aside. "At least you showed up"
Horenzo looked around and quickly realized what he meant. "Wonder where he is.. oh well just means more fun for us eh?" Bardock grunted "ya, that's right, so how do you want to do this? Straight in together or attack on two fronts?
Horenzo thought a bit. "Lets split up, make this into a friendly competition. Whoever kills the most wins". Bardock nodded with a devilish grin "You're on! but if things get too dicey, pull your team out ok, we don't want to go losing our heads over this." Bardocks group took off to the other side of the run down city that the rebels were using as their base.
Horenzo looked to his comrades "Alright, lets do this carefully, help each other out, and not ruch into any mobs. Keep your distance and we'll pick them off one by one." They all nodded, clashed there shoulders together and blasted towards the city.
"there are six of them just up ahead, levels highest level 2,000" Tamen reported. "This'll be our warm up then, Lets show them what we can do!"
The six Taurans looked almost like a saiyan just that they were larger and lacking the tail. Horenzo stuck out his arm and closed lined one, carrying him across the street into a building. Another one followed in to help out his friend.
Tamen landed and jolted towards another, throwing a huge punch into it's gut, followed by a powerful kick to it's jaw sending him into the air.
Sayendro had met his opponent in the air both fighting feircly, the saiyan with the clear upperhand. He caught a punch and pushed the alien's arm aside and shoulder checked him sending the brute a distance back.
Sayendro saw a flash and Reeku jumping and dancing from rooftop to rooftop, dodging small energy waves being hurled at her. Reeku landed onto another building and quickly leapt forward, backhanding the next blast away as she sped towards her target. The alien hooked a right, but Reeku landed and ducked in front of him, she came up with a palm thrusting into is face. As the tauran fell back she planted both her feet into his gut and pushed off, sending him crashing through the roof, as she gracefully backflipped down into the building after him.
Bayok was keeping his battle on the ground as he smashed his equally sized fighter all around with simple yet solid punches. Bayok had some footwork on the go, countering everything that came at him. Bayok blocked a high kick with his forearm and threw a jab, hook, jab combo and ended with a big uppercut. The alien went up and came back down crashing a bit away in front of him. Bayock simply lifted his hand towards his downed opponent and fired a blast that incinerated him.
Sayendro was still wondering how Reeku was doing when the giant blasted towards him landing a powerful punch to his cheek, The saiyan caught himself before he flew to far he looked into the big guy's firey eyes. They both went into a joust, hitting each others fists. Sayendro ki flared and pushed the brute off his guard, and before he could get straighten himself out the saiyan blasted a big ball of energy from his two hands in front of him that engulfed the alien. The ball flew inwards, deeper into the city and landed with a big explosion, wiping out several buildings.
Tamen was juggling his fighter all around the sky when his scouter picked up something, he looked towards the direction of the explosion as his scouter picked up something. "You sure did it now kid, multiple targets heading this way, and by my readings, these ones aren't any pushovers.." he whispered into his scouter while gritting his teeth. He fired a single small shot into his persistent attacker. The alien's dead body soared out of the dead smoke crashing to the ground.
Reeku was having a good time and taking it easy on her fighter. as they fought up, down and all around inside the building. She was blocking and dodging all of his attacks, but trying to match his strength to make it fun. As soon as she heard Tamen though she front flipped over a punch heading towards her and came down with a hammer fist onto his skull sending him jetting to the ground she immediatly fired a beam from her two hands that chased him. The force caused the building to completely crumble around her. She was now floating in the open air chuckling lightly to herself.
"Hey where's boss?" Sayendro asked as he landed near Bayok who simply shrugged. There was an explosion that blew out the ceiling behind the large saiyan and two bodies flew into the sky. Horenzo could be heard laughing as he fired a huge energy wave that vaporized the unlucky ones.
Horenzo's laugh was interupted by the reading of his scouter. "whoa, a power level of 5,000 is approaching and along with four others? lets see.." His blue scouter beeped away "3,300, 2800, and two below 2,000.." Horenzo landed near the now fully gathered team.
"I'll take the strongest, Bayok and Tamen you take the next highest ones. Sayendro and Reeku, you'll have to take out the other two quickly, then help out with whoever is left."
Everyone nodded and stood their ground for the next Taurans to arrive.
