"I am not going to answer that question," Zemerik sighed, looking up at Selia, who was still trying to get him to answer the question from the previous question. Yet again, she's trying for the…54th time or so…this week. Zemerik seemingly had gotten use to the human life and frankly, the sentient in front of him was getting annoyed by this 'ask-but-I'm-not-telling-you-a-damn-thing' routine. "What purpose would it serve you?"
"Plenty, and frankly you will tell me just to get me to stop!" Selia said, glaring at him. "It worked before and it will work again!"
"I feel sorry for the sap you did that to," Zemerik stated, looking back at the newspaper. He probably didn't have to invade this world the way these humans keep going into wars and killing each other that way.
"You should, it was Zug, Spinner, and I think Stanford," she grinned slyly.
The ex-Sark leader shrugged replying, "Ok, two out of those three I can actually feel sorry for. Now tell me your real purpose for trying to get this info out of me."
"That's for me to know and for you to eventually find out…that reminds me, can you sign this?" she asked, holding up a piece of paper and a pen.
"…why?"
"You'll find out eventually, but it's not going to affect you now. But it probably will affect you soon, and we'll work it out then," she said, handing it to him. Zemerik rolled his eyes and quickly signed it. As long as it gets rid of her, he'll live with the consequences later. "Thanks buddy!" she said, patting him on the head, running off before he could protest her patting.
"At least that's over with," he muttered, before seeing Zug enter the kitchen. "What now?" he groaned, wanting to read the paper.
"Nothing, just going to hang out with Stanford," Zug said, Zemerik eyeing him. "…we're going to play video games…study human technology…and…stuff," he added, looking around before grabbing a random object and throwing it at Zemerik before fleeing.
"…did he just throw a dog biscuit at me?" he muttered, staring at the object. "…why do we even have tho- oh right, he wanted a pet to keep him company…should've brought a Sark with him."
Meanwhile at the Diner!
"So, you're hanging out with this Buzz guy?" Vert asked, looking over at Stanford.
"Well, we do have life outside of the Battle Force Five and frankly it's been a bit quiet as of late," the purple member answered.
"Plus, how many people outside our group can actually handle Stanford and actually like it?" Spinner pointed out, everyone chuckling at that.
"Oh, ha, ha. Very funny…can we get back to the fact that everyone needs a break and it's probably better than hanging out with that cousin of his…he's like Tezz but…eviler!" Stanford complained.
"Are you guys talking about Marik?" Selia asked-wait when did she get here? Probably sped or something to get there.
"Yeah, we were. What of it?" Stanford asked, bored of the topic already.
"Eh, had to ask. By the way, Buzz is attempting DDR over there," she answered, Stanford running over to join him. "Anyways, I have an idea for a play and I was hoping to get some auditions. I got the main male role filled, and I'm mainly looking for a female one now. Earlier I saw someone perfect for it and she was with you."
"Uh, let's say we don't know who you mean…" Spinner started to say.
"I think she means Sage," Sherman answered.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, seems kinda shy?" Selia asked, everyone nodding. "That's the one! Anyways, tell her that I want her in the play and I will not take no for an answer!"
"Uh, mind telling us a bit about this play?" Zoom asked, some of the others nodding.
"Well you see it all started in a kingdom far, far away…" Selia started the story.
Zemerik, on the other hand, was still at the house, still trying to read the paper. He groaned and slammed the paper on the table he was sitting at. Things were so much easier back then…even back when he first met Sage.
"There was a nation at war with themselves…civilians on both sides were killed in the line of fire, casualties were high, no end in sight…until finally the two leaders had called a truce after years of war…the leaders had wed soon after to upheld the truce. It wasn't long before they had children: a boy of a hard, violent nature like his mother, and a girl with a graceful, serene personality like her father. It wasn't until years later…when he appeared:"
"I want you to pick one of these three models," a younger Krytus said, introducing three red robots that stood at attention. "I call these Zurk. They'll be the first of many, I'm positive."
"Did you give them names?" a younger Sage asked, looking at her brother, who seemed surprised.
"Names?" he asked, tilting his head. "Why would I give them names? They're mindless."
"Well, I don't want to call them 'This one' or 'You there'," she explained, shrugging.
Krytus groaned, "Fine, I'll give them names… that one on the end, the one with the no legs, that one will be Tors-10…it was the tenth made and really I'm satisfied with this version really." He approached the next one, which was heavier and had three drill fingers on one. "Uh…Zug," Krytus proclaimed the new robot. "And the last one…ugh, hate naming things…Zem…Zemmy…Zemerik, that's it."
"'Zemmy'?" Sage smirked at her older brother.
"I told you that I sucked at names and you pressured me! Anyways, just pick one. They'll be your bodyguard…a personal one. The rest would be assigned other jobs, remedial none the less but important jobs around the castle," he continued, Sage observing each one.
"I would…think Zemerik would be perfect," she announced, turning to her brother.
Krytus grinned, "Zemerik…yes, he would be perfect. All he needs now is to turn him on." He strolled over to the monitor and typed a few things in. "Rise, Zemerik."
Zemerik's red eyes opened and stared at Sage, who was smiling at him. "Can he speak?" she asked, turning to her brother, Zemerik turning as well to his creator.
"Of course he can. Zemerik, speak."
"Yes, Master," he responded in a deadpan, monotone voice.
"You will escort my sister," Krytus said, proud of the response and gestured to his sister, "throughout the castle, learn of your surroundings and will obey her every command, unless I say otherwise, understood?"
"Yes, Master."
"Good. You may now leave."
"And so the bodyguard and the princess left, but soon the princess had other plans…"
A/N: Ok, going to clear something up about the biscuit thing and feel free to blame wikipedia because that's where I got the info. You may also get it if you like the Dragon Ball Z abridged by Team Four Star on youtube.
You see, the dog biscuit scene had to do with the fact that the original Vegeta (or the Ocean Studio dub)'s voice actor had/is voicing Zug (and a few others) on the show, and Zemerik had the original Nappa from the same dub. And in a recent episode of DragonBall Z abridged series by TeamFourStar, Vegeta threw dog biscuits at one of the characters and I just had to make fun of that part by making Zug do it.
