Chapter 3
Enter Toshi.
Taku stands there for a moment with Lycan before realizing that their father walked off with Magnus. He looks to his older brother then scoffs some as he starts walking away from Lycan. Taku carelessly places both hands behind his head as he walks away.
"You heard em! Get to work you slacker, your in charge of the Military now."
Taku taunts while heading towards the exit. Lycan raises an eyebrow towards Taku's remark then scoffs before walking off in the opposite direction. Once outside of the palace, Taku looks towards the sky then smirks some almost putting the tragedy of Planet Vegeta in the back of his mind as a distant memory. Suddenly something in Taku's mind clicked, if Frieza was able to destroy a planet with little to no effort at all, what chance did he really stand being currently only 19 with proficient combat skills and nothing more. Sure he could pummel Freiza around a few hundred times, but just fists alone won't kill him. Staring at the skies, Taku continues to ponder when suddenly he takes a step backwards allowing foot to pass by nearly an inch away from his nose. Taku smirks a bit knowing exactly who it was. No one else on the planet could be that brave to attack him head on except one person. The bright light shines over his attackers physic revealing it to be a female, a younger and shorter female. Taku shakes his head slightly before laughing his ass off. The female scoffs a bit before stomping a foot down against the floor.
"Dammit, almost had him."
The female exclaims before stepping out of the sunlight to see that Taku was in a fit of laughter at her failure to get the drop on him. Still laughing, Taku points out to the female as if to address her.
"Hehehehehehehe! Language Lil Lady! I'm gone tell Mamma what you said and she's gonna make you eat soap. And another thing Toshi, you out of all people will never get the drop on me. I heard your footsteps as soon as you started running."
Taku confidently says to the female now known as Toshi, the youngest of the 4 Arimotos. Toshi rolls her eyes then suddenly charges at Taku once again. Without warning, Toshi starts throwing a wild barrage of punches and kicks directly at Taku. To Taku's amazement, Toshi has gotten a lot better with her barrage attacks. Taking steps back, Taku either slaps down Toshi's missed punches or blocks her kicks with his mid section. A few moments of Toshi's display of fighting skills, Taku becomes bored and takes full control to this small spar.
"Wide Open!"
Taku blurts out as he tilts his head to the right, dodging Toshi's last punch. Before she could retract her fist and shoot out the other, Taku launches his right palm into her mid section. The force behind Taku's palm sends Toshi shooting backwards in the air before rolling backwards on the ground a few times. She suddenly hops up with an enraged look on her face. Taku stands there with a smirk on his face, lifting his right hand up to his mid waist then taunting Toshi again.
"Come get some pipsqueak. Avenge your doll Betty, I find you with another one I'll tear that one to shreds too."
Taku taunts to Toshi reminding her that a few years ago he literally ripped apart one of her dolls. Toshi huffs in a fit of rage before charging at Taku again. However Toshi had a plan to put a beat down on Taku since first attacking him a few moments ago. Suddenly Taku feels a heavy strike at his calfs, causing him to buckle some. That very instant, his eyes widen slightly seeing that it was Toshi's copy, sweeping him from behind. That split instant, the first Toshi decks Taku clean in the face with her fist, effectively knocking him the rest of the way to the ground floor. Before hitting the ground, Taku was stunned completely be this attack. Without waiting for Taku to put up a guard of any sort, Toshi leaps on top of him and instantly shoots a fist towards his face again. Taku quickly guards his face with both his forearms while Toshi's fist strikes directly in the center of his forearms. She starts swinging wildly while striking at Taku's defensive guard in an attempt to break it. The second Toshi stands there cheering on the first as she wails away on Taku.
"That's right kick his ass Toshi! KICK HIS ASS!"
The second Toshi taunts while the first Toshi continues to pummel away at Taku. Taku lets out a slight sigh, knowing that he was going to have to teach her a lesson. Suddenly a few spectators start to surround the two...well three. The spectators consisted of random other saiyans and a few Tuffles. The Tuffles are the real geniuses behind the majority of the technology of the planet, but that was only dwarfed by the genius beings on Planet Reiko. Seeing how embarrassing this was to be getting beat on by his little sister, Taku quickly launches his right knee directly into her back. The force from the blow jolts her forward into a rolling frenzy. Uncovering his face, Taku shifts his vision over to the second Toshi when whispers, "Bang" while having his right hand out stretched towards her. Knowing she wasn't proficient in ki manipulation yet, she starts to back away slowly noticing the sadistic grin on Taku's face. Without warning, Taku forms a ki blast with in the palm of his right hand which in turn grows to the size of a basket ball, then releases it towards the second Toshi. Taku gets to his feet then pops his neck from left to right before turning around to seeing the first Toshi struggling to get up.
"That was sneaky Sis and in front of all these decent folk over here. I oughta put you through a damn table for that...but I'm in a good mood so your spared."
Taku says in a proud tone of voice as he steps over to Toshi. Usually he wouldn't bother helping her up after an attack like that, but something was different today. Taku leans down and takes hold of Toshi's hand then pulls her up the rest of the way. Chuckling slightly, Taku pats her on the shoulder seeing that she was still shaken from that last attack. He leans in closer to her then whispers in her ear.
"Your lucky these people are here, or you would've gotten sooo much worst than a sprung back. Now run along pipsqueak, I have some planning to do."
Taku gives off a fake smile as he waves off to the other spectators then continues walking off about his business. He stops for a moment to look back at Toshi, who was popping her back in place before she locked eyes with Taku. He winks then clenches a fist at her and she sticks out her tongue at him. Taku makes a rather funny face before walking off again. He stares off into the distance looking at how much of a difference Planet Arimoto was from Planet Vegeta. The invasion ship destroying canons where a big difference for starters. Taku shifts his vision between the buildings sitting along the city away from the palace. Yawning a bit, Taku stretches slightly then realizes he was in half of his royal attire, which consisted of a skin tight black suit with the upper body section of the suit changed into a tank top sort of fashion. At his waist, he wore the traditional groin and side thigh armor. On his hands and feet were ordinary white outfitted saiyan gloves and boots, with scuff marks from his training earlier. The rest of his armor consist of the upper armor of the royal saiyan attire without the shoulder pads. That piece however was back in the training quarters. Taku strolls along towards the first city he sees. Walking through the crowds of people and glancing at the flying vehicles above, Taku walks with a sense of pride. He stops in front of a building baring an Oozaru head on the front with Neon lights surrounding the fangs. Taku stretches his arms to either side in a sort of merry way before walking in. On the inside of the building, there are random saiyans sitting at tables along with Tuffles and other random aliens all having a good time. This place to Taku is known as "Ernie's Dump" because he didn't care for the official name. All that mattered was that he knew the owner and was accepted among the other patrons and not seen as a pretentious snob like Lycan. Some of the aliens greeted Taku honorably as he walked in, some even offered him a place to sit as he walked past. Suddenly Taku locks eyes with one of the employees on the floor, a curvacious saiyan female with perfectly round breasts to fit her frame. Taku smirks a bit stepping over to her, running a hand backwards through his lengthened spiked hair. Standing a few feet away from her, Taku lets his eyes literally undress her before speaking.
"Damn Gurl, you lookin mighty fine over there, lets me and you after your shift hit the town and beat up some drifter."
Taku says with a chuckle, knowing what the outcome would be as he has tried many pick-up lines on this particular female hundreds of times. She smiles then giggles a bit then shaking her head declining Taku's offer. Suddenly an uproar of laughter came from the nearby tables towards what just happened. Instead of being embarrassed, Taku laughs along with them, even High Fiving one of the patrons.
"Can't win em all eh Neph?"
Says a very familiar voice from one of the tables. Taku smirks a bit then starts laughing again while heading over to the table the voice came from. It was another saiyan, a well known saiyan at that. This was the only saiyan with a purple hue to his already raven shaded hair. This saiyan is Kumori Arimoto, the younger brother to Ikari Arimoto and also the second trainer for Taku and his siblings. They both slap hands together as if about to get into an arm wrestling match except it was in semi mid air above the table. Taku was trying to over power his Uncle with one hand but was unable to make him budge an inch. Kumori snickers a bit then laughs his ass off before releasing Taku's hand.
"All that gravity training and you still can't manage over power me in an Arm Wrestling. You must not be doing the workouts I've been telling you about in that thing have you? I bet you've been just fighting yourself round after round with the gravity pressing down on you."
Kumori says as a sort of taunt to Taku, actually knowing just how he trains and how he's suppose to train. Taku frowns a bit while sitting down, then nods to his Uncle, reluctantly. Kumori raises an eyebrow then smirks some before responding.
"As I thought. Your fast and your hits sting like blaster shots, but that literally means nothing without packing ample amounts of power behind your blows. The power that you do possess is well enough to take anyone out in a fight, but it takes a while and you don't get any stronger from it...And I sense something else coming from you also, what's eatin at your ass Champ?"
Kumori explains before taking a huge sip of his drink, literally emptying the cup he was drinking from. Taku smirks a bit then chuckles a bit to try and cheer himself up. He knew that Kumori was right about his training tactic. Taku sighs a bit as he places a hand on the table before responding.
"The Old Man gave us some bad news today, Planet Vegeta got wiped out yesterday by Frieza. That's the bulk of it. The real bad part is I have to end up in the Military under Lycan's control. We both know that douche bag is gonna give me hell. Oh you should've seen the look on his face when Dad told us what we were each doing. I thought he was gonna try and rape me when Dad left with Magnus."
Taku says with a chuckle trying not to feel down about what has to be done. Kumori pauses for a moment, letting what Taku said register through his mind before snickering then full out laughing. Taku raises an eyebrow to his Uncle laughing then decides to do something even more hilarious.
"It's not funny!"
Taku says in a hilarious high pitched squeaky voice loud enough to where he could be heard a few tables around. Suddenly everyone around Taku and even Taku himself bursts out into a fit of laughter. Taku stands from the table and takes a bow to the crowd. That was indeed hilarious, the waitress even brings Taku a drink, compliments of the bar tender Ernie. Taku takes the drink from the waitress, winks at her then chugs the beverage fully before handing her back the glass. He takes a seat back down with his Uncle, who immediately thwaps him on the forehead with two fingers. Almost instantly, Taku rubs his forehead before fully sitting down.
"I saw what you did to Toshi, you know she's going to get you back big time for that right? But that was funny as hell watching you get wailed on by your little sister, I think that'll be in tonight's paper."
Kumori comically says to Taku, before drinking from a new pitcher sitting at the table. Being currently 19, Taku had the privilege for being allowed to drink, but not to the point where he was shit faced drunk. That will be allowed and tolerated when he turns 21.
