His eyes opened. All he could see was black, complete black darkness. He took a deep breath in, only to feel a strong, musky presence in the air seep into his lungs. Coughing and sputtering, he moved himself about, trying to figure out where he was. Which way was up? Which way was down? After a few silent motionless moments, he finally got his head together again, and let his body sense which way was skyward. He pushed himself against the walls of the dark space to which he was confined in, pushing himself upwards, with each push came fresher air.

A white-gloved hand shot up from the ground. Then, another hand produced itself from the dirt. The surface began to crack and tremble, as a large figure emerged from the ground, crawling on the surface of the planet.

He wearily got up to his feet. He felt all over his body, checking for broken bones, but found nothing than a hole in his armoured battlejacket, the battlejacket that the men of Furiiza wore on duty. By the damaged spot there were a few ribbons of pale blue, the same color as his blood, it looked like his spilled blood had died. Gluu took off his gloves, and looked at his hands. They were the same orange hue as they had always been. His two larger teeth -fangs really- hanging out of the corners of his mouth as they reflected whatever light remained in the black-clouded sky.

But why was he alive? He looked at the pit form which he came, no doubt where Furiiza had his body buried earlier; buried when he killed him. Gluu poked his finger through the hole in his armour, the same spot where Furiiza sent a blast of Ki through his body, killing him instantly. But he died, he remembered his murder perfectly.

Furiiza, the most powerful being in the universe, had assigned him to track down Vegeta, one of the few Saiya-jins left in the universe, who was trying to disrupt Furiiza's plans. When Furiiza arrived here on Namek, Vegeta had come too, looking for a peice of his master Furiiza. Gluu had come across a Nameki-jin village which was completely destroyed, no doubt at the hands of Vegeta. He impetuiosly killed the last survivor of the village, and reported these events to Furiiza. However, Furiiza was angered that he did not let a possible witness to Vegeta's slaughter live, and fired a bolt of Ki, with deadly accuracy, straight through his heart.

As to why he was still alive, Gluu was still clueless.

Gluu's thoughts were cut short as a sudden spurt of lava erupted from the ground. Manipulating his Ki as quickly as he could, Gluu darted into the air, narrowly avoiding the red-hot liquid. The ground began to shake, as a crevace split the ground under him. "Oh shit.." Gluu thought to himself "this planet's ripping itself apart!"

Then, Gluu felt an enourmous amout of Ki coming from the east, far over the horizon. Two gigantic powers, one of them obviously Furiiza, seemed to be duelling. Gluu could care less what this other power was, as he quickly sped towards the entrance of Furiiza's ship, and landed at the doorway.

Gluu frantically ran through the halls, the occasional shaking of the unstable ground setting him off balance. A few moments later Gluu found the hull where the escape pods were kept in the ship. Punching in a few digits on a panel on the wall, a small door slid open, revealing the inside of a space pod. Wasting no time -and not wanting to be caught on an unstable planet- Gluu sat himself down in the small circular pod, it's door quickly sealing itself shut.

And with a mighty thrust from below him, the pod was sent hurdeling into space.

**************

The pod landed with a large thud into the soft dirt of the ground, creating a large crater on the surface. The pod door opened, and Gluu slowly emerged from the ball-like machine. Focusing his Ki, Glu floated up and out of the crater, and landed on surrounding unscathed ground. Gluu looked around him. The inhabitants of this planet looked strangely like the Nameki-jins, except for their lack of forehead antennae, and soft-looking, pinkish skin. They looked somewhat like "humans," a strange race that a member of his former crew had described to him. The reddish earth that the planet bore felt surprisingly soft, a fact Gluu noticed when he took his firts steps on this strange planet. It had been a few days since Gluu had left the doomed Namek, Gluu still questioning his existance after his death.

The planet appeared to be mildly civilized, a few strange houses and stores lay scattered about the area. Then, a sign on one store caught Gluu's eye. "It's the universal language..." Gluu muttered to himself. "It's a bar." Gluu licked his orange lips. "Kami, I need a drink bad," he breathed as he entered the doorway.

The bar was practically empty, a few tables and a bar decorated the small dark room. There were a few strange creatures sitting at one table, and one figure sitting by it's lonesome at a stool near the bar, a figure somewhat like his own. The creature's pale skin looking almost exactly like that of the locals here. Long black hair hung down the figure's back, down to the lower shoulderblades, over a dull red shirt. Arounf the waist was tied a small, dull brown jacket. Gluu sat a few seats to the right from the strange person, and called for the bartender. After receiving his shot glass, Gluu sighed and rested his long, tube-like head on his arms.

From out of nowhere, the sounds of a rowdy group could be heard from the doorway of the bar. Three human-like beings stumbed through the bar, and gathered around the person at Gluu's side. "Hey, whatcha' doin', Zuukuuni?" the first one asked in a loud, rambunctious voice. the figure seemed to sag. "Kami, leave me alone already, would you?" the figure said, in a female voice. The third creature then reached across Zuukuuni's front, and picked up the small glass in front of her, and gave a short whistle. "Ydrati-jin whiskey, eh Zuukuuni?" the second person asked. "Y' sure y' can handle this stuff?" The three broke out in laughter. Zuukuuni seemed to sigh, and then groan. "Hey, y'know what?" the second asked, snatching the glass from the third, "I don't think she can handle it. I better have it." He said, as he took the glass to his lips, and gulped down the rest of the liquid. Zuukuuni turned to the second figure, saying "I paid for that, you know!" in an angry tone. "What? This?" The second asked, tossing the empty glass over his shoulder.

If the second figure had seen where the glass landed, he would have seen that it had hit and shattered on top of Gluu's head. Gluu stood up, and walked towards the trio of trouble-makers, his own shot glass in hand.

"Who threw that?" Gluu asked in a cold voice, looking at the three hooligans. "Hey-y, sorry about that, man," the second said apologetically. Gluu only grimaced. "Then let's see how you like it then." Gluu snarled, as he shoved the shot glass into the being's face, glass, booze and blood spraying across the floor. The figure staggered backwards, holding his cut and bleeding face.

In an act of retalliation, the first figure aimed and threw a punch at the back of Gluu's head. Yet to Gluu, that feirce punch felt like a light tap of a finger's flick. In response, Gluu turned around, held out his palm to the attacker, and fired a small burst of Ki into the being's chest, sending him flying a few meters away. The third bagan to advance on Gluu, until Gluu turned and stared him in the eye. The figure quckly fled for his life from the bar. His other two cohorts also staggered and stumbled out of Gluu's vicinity.

Gluu returned to his seat, and ordered another shot glass. Unbeknownst to Gluu, Zuukuuni was eying him doggedly, as if she could see something no one else could.

After awhile, Gluu made his way out of the bar. Gluu adjusted the battlejacket around his body, as he walked down a deserted area, in search of other civilization. No longer being an underling of the tyrant Furiiza, Gluu seemingly had no other purpose in life, other than to wander aimlessley.

Suddenly, a blast of Ki shot by his face from behind him. Gluu turned around, and saw the origin of the assault. Standing behind him was the woman from the bar, Zuukuuni. "What the hell was that for?" Gluu asked angrily. Zuukuuni didn't answer, only she fired another blast of Ki from her palms at Gluu. Gluu easily dodged the blast, and flew straight into toe-to-toe distance from Zuukuuni. "What are you doing?" Gluu hissed, grabbing Zuukuuni by the arms, pinning them to her side. Zuukuuni tried to strugle free, but to no avail. "It was you." She said, eyebrows angled downwards in anger. "It was you along with Furiiza who destroyed my planet!" Gluu was astonished at Zuukuuni's response. "What the hell does she mean, 'I destroyed her planet?'" Gluu's memory raced.

Gluu was so wrapped up in his thoughts, that he never noticed his grip on Zuukuuni lighten. Zuukuuni however, noticed so, and began to generate Ki into her body. Gluu's mind returned to the present when he felt Zuukuuni drawing in Ki, her long hair starting to fade a white hue and began to stand upright. Even her two long bangs of hair, which fell down in front of her face, began to stand up. Her black eyes began to change to a greenish hue, as golden aura slowly enveloped her. Gluu let go of Zuukuuni in surprise, as her hair began to turn a golden blonde. Then, the thought hit Gluu. "S-s-s-s-she's a... a S-saiya-jin!" Gluu exclaimed. Gluu also realized that she was no ordinary Saiya-jin. She was a Super-Saiya-jin.

"You heard me." Zuukuuni said "You and Furiiza destroyed planet Vegeta." "I have no idea what you're talking about!" Gluu said, looking at Zuukuuni, who was hovering above him. "I'd notice that style of jacket anywhere." Zuukuuni said. "Only Furiiza's creeps wear that style of jacket." she said. Gluu was then aware that she knew he was part of Furiiza's mob, because of his tell-tale battlejacket. "I may not be able to kill Furiiza for destroying my home," Zuukuuni said, beginning to charge up a massive amount of Ki, "but an underling of Furiiza will have to do." Gluu felt Zuukuuni's Power Level drastically rise, almost matching his own. Gluu knew that if he didn't act fast, he may meet another demise at the hands of this Super-Saiya-jin. Zuukuuni was about to fire a blast of Ki at Gluu, when Gluu yelled "But Furiiza's dead by now!"

Zuukuuni halted her assault at Gluu's words. "What?" she asked in disbelief. "That's right. Furiiza's dead by now." Gluu said, remembering the other massive power he felt at Namek, the one fighting Furiiza. "Yeah right." Zuukuuni said, beginning to charge up more Ki. "Who can possibly defeat Furiiza?" she asked sarcastically, preparing to unleas a massive amount of Ki upon Gluu. Gluu realized that this Super-Saiya-jin could very well kill him if he didn't think quickly.

"I killed him! That's who!" Gluu blurted out. Zuukuuni paused, and looked at Gluu. Zuukuuni then snorted in disgust. "You expect me to belive that? [i]You,[/i] killed [i]Furiiza[/i]?" she asked doubtfully. "You're a Super-Saiya-jin, right?" Gluu asked, to which Zuukuuni nodded. "If there's one thing I know Furiiza fears, it's a Super-Saiya-jin." Gluu said. "Then that's why he destroyed Vegeta..." Zuukuuni trailed off. "Yes, I killed Furiiza," Gluu said, lying to Zuukuuni. "You can sense that our Power Levels are equal, can't you?" Gluu said, trying to back up his lie. Zuukuuni paused, then nodded again. "Then no doubt you could have easily destroyed Furiiza, then." Gluu said.

Zuukuuni's ki slowly began to fade, as she floated back down and landed on the ground. Almost as soon as her feet had touched the ground, the strong golden aura around her faded as well. Her hair began to turn from it's bright golden hue, back into it's shiny black color. Her green eyes dimmed into back into black as well. "You're right." she said, "I'm sorry I misjudged you." Zuukuuni said sheepishly. "But if you're no loner working for Furiiza, then for Kami's sake, at least take off that battlejacket. Everyone will think you work for Furiiza with you wearing it." Zuukuuni said, pointing at Gluu's armoured attire. Gluu promptly gripped the bottom of his jacket, and pulled it over his head. He took off his jacket and dropped it to the ground, revealing his black tank-top, which had a strong and muscular torso hidden under it.

"Well, I'd better be going then." Gluu said, picking up his jacket, holding under the crook of his muscular arm. Just as Gluu began to fly away, Zuukuuni called after him. "Hey, what's your name, anyway?" she asked inquizitively. Gluu turned around in the air, and stopped to look at Zuukuuni. "My name died with Furiiza." Gluu said gravely. "But if you must call me something, call me 'Gluu'." Zuukuuni nodded. "Mine's Zuukuuni." She said, as Gluu began to fly off, off to faraway in the distance...
