DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE: TOKISENTAI

EPISODE 1 - TATA

AGE: 732 - PLANET VEGETA

"Hey, Tata. We didn't choose you just so we can see you arms crossed all day, you hear? Get moving."

The big, rough looking Saiyan filled with old battle scars across his body, partially covered in a stardard duty battle armor, stared at the way smaller female in the same kind of gear. She was, in fact, crossing her arms, her back leaning against the outer wall of a building as she glared at him. The female made her tail whip the wall she was onto, then stood tall as she slowly uncrossed her arms, quickly turning her glare into a defiant grin while speaking back to him.

"Ah, shut the hell up, Toteppo..." Tata rubbed the top of her long, wild black hair "It's not like I have anything better to do. You could've upped the entrance test a little more, though. A couple of Saibaimen, really? Child's play...unless you're Bardock's kid, eh?"

"Raditz is a weakling because of his mother. Somehow manages to soften everything she damn touches."

Both Tata and Toteppo stared in silence, and even an ounce of respect, at the newcomer as he put on an old model scouter.

"Bardock..."

As Toteppo approached the newcomer, the female stood where she was, widening her grin even more.

"Well well, so my new boss shows up at last, huh?"

"Hah...What, you don't like it? You can always turn around and crawl back down to your hole. How does that sound?"

"...I'm weighting my options."

Tata approached her new leader, and both shared a quick, strong handshake, their grins intact. As for Toteppo, he just shook his head with a faint, tired smile over his face, an event that didn't happen too often. As the other two warriors were done with their greeting, Tata continued.

"Whatever, what's our first job with me onboard? I hope it's not more Saibaimen busting. Kinda bored of those living cabbages."

"Nah. We're going over to Freeza Station 73."

One of the female Saiyan's eyebrows twitched a bit at Bardock's words.

"Freeza 73? What's the deal with that?"

"Apparently, we have an audience with that pink blob Freeza keeps as a lapdog."

Toteppo, still silent, lightly tapped his scouter while staring at his squad leader, his half smile completely gone now.

"...I mean, that LORD Dodoria guy. Apparently about changing the status of our team or something like that. As long as they increase our chunk in credits I don't really care."

"Bah! Credits. Papa's boy sure is a control freak, huh? You can't even buy yourself a drink without him being somehow involved."

"Whatever. As long as I get paid I don't care what Freeza or his dad do. Not my business."

"That train of thought isn't too healthy, boss."

Bardock closed his eyes with a renewed smirk, then turned around, then turned around.

"Not sure if yours is safer, woman. Let's go. We're getting a drink before we head out. And that's an damn order."

As he turned his head to see if his two co-workers were following, his gaze just found Toteppo, who was as confused as him at the realization there was no trace of Tata around. Bardock's eyes questioned at him, at wich the other Saiyan answered with a shrug.

"She just...disappeared, Bardock."

Tata was never seen again by the two. And life eventually went on for the group...for the time being, at least.
