Recruiting an assassin
"I'm almost done" Hit said right before killing a man in an alley, it was midnight so no one could see them.
After Hit ended the man's life he turned around to see Vados standing there with her usual smile.
"It's been awhile, Hit" she said.
"Yes… some time…" he said "Do you need anything, Vados?"
"Things are… more serious than expected" she said thoughtful looking to her side.
"How so?"
They decided to teleport to another planet, it was about 6pm, the sun was setting. Vados explained Hit everything that had happened; Goku's idea, the actual intention of the Zeno-samas, the tournament in general, everything.
"So… if it wasn't because of Goku no one would have had a chance to survive" Hit said.
"Exactly! Everyone keep saying that it's Goku's fault but he actually gave a second chance…"
"To only one universe" said Hit.
"Well… yes"
"Definitely, I don't understand that being, he saved millions of lives without knowing it" he said. After a few seconds he talked again "Of course I will participate, I have to"
"It's good to know you'll fight, Champa even asked if you were one of ten brothers" Vados said with a giggle.
"In fact, I used to be…" he said coldly. In that second Vados stopped her giggle.
"I'm sorry…" she said not knowing what to do.
"It's fine, it was a few centuries ago so it doesn't matter now" he said shrugging.
"If it serves as a consolation this is my favorite planet, not even Champa knows that exists, and… I don't know if I'll ever be able to see it again" she said looking the sunset. Hit only looked at her. Vados smiled "There's also one thing I need, I need you to recruit just one more fighter"
"Why don't you do it?" he asked "You recruited the first five fighters for the tournament against universe seven"
"Because I can't think in anyone else, I've got Magetta, Botamo and Cabba, and Champa and I already told him to recruit more saiyans but still… even Fuwa is looking for fighters, Frost is not answering my call" she sighed "we're desperate"
"Why? You said you, as an angel, would live even though the universe were erased" he saw how she didn't say anything, which was a weird thing of her "I…"
"Unlike some angels and despite my attitude, I do like my universe" she said with a blank glance, then she turned to him "I really do"
"Fine, I'll try to find anyone" he told her.
"Thank you" she said before showing a brief smile "remember, the tournament is in a few days from now" she almost walked away until… "I almost forget, touch this button when you are ready to go to Champa's planet, there we'll go together to the tournament; one for you and one to the person you find" she said handing him two small buttons (pretty much like the one that Zeno gave Goku).
"See you soon, Vados" Hit said.
She smiled.
"See you soon, Hit" she said before going away.
Now in Champa's planet
"Vados! Fuwa and I have found a fighter, his name is…" said Champa, who couldn't remember the fighters name "what was his name again?" he asked to Fuwa.
"Dr. Rota, sir" said Fuwa.
"That's right, Rota" Champ said "what about you? Any luck with Hit?"
"Yes, actually he's even going to ask someone to join"
"That's just perfect" Champa said "by the way, Vados, if you can call anyone through your staff, why do you need to talk to Hit personally? I mean, every time that you've need him you talk to him personally, unlike any other person"
For one second she didn't know what to say until "He's a tough guy who won't pay attention to me unless I talk to him personally, he's more than a thousand years old, remember he's a little old school"
"Well, umm, I guess you're right" Champa said.
The day of the tournament Hit had arrived to Champa's planet. He walked to a corner and landed on it with his arms crossed and eyes closed. He saw that Cabba and another two female saiyans had already arrived to the planet, they were talking to Champa, Vados and Fuwa about the potara earrings. He didn't wasted his time in greeting, but Cabba had decided to go and talk to him.
"Hello, Hit" said Cabba getting closer with the two saiyans.
"Cabba" 'greeted' Hit opening one eye.
"Wait, Hit?! Like in Hit the legendary assassin?! Never miss Hit?! That Hit?!" said the saiyan with longer hair.
"Caulifla, do you know about him?" Cabba asked.
"Of course I know him! He's a legend! No one have ever been capable to catch him" she answered with excitement, she turned to Cabba "I hope you don't give him away to the Sadala force" threaten her with a little ki ball in her had pointing at Cabba "Can I fight you sometime?" said looking at Hit again with sparks in her eyes.
He looked at her for a moment "You have to become stronger" he said closing his eye again.
"I will! And when we come back we'll fight!" said Caulifla. Hit, for a moment, saw the other saiyan standing behind Caulifla and when she noticed, scared, hid more behind her friend.
"Caulifla, you can't just tell people to fight you" said Cabba.
"What do you mean I can't?"
He saw the three saiyans leaving.
"What do you think? Do you have a chance?" asked Vados appearing next to him.
"Honestly, I don't know, I felt Cabba stronger, and the other two saiyans are very strong but…" he thought well, as if he was choosing his words "I can't tell if it's enough"
"I think the same" she said "I really hope you can do it, I mean…" he looked deeply at her, she took a deep breath "give your 100% in this fight, please"
"My job will be to bring Universe six to victory" he said, lilac eyes met a pair of red ones.
Vados smiled and closed her eyes "You're such a workaholic" she then opened them again rising a brow "is that your way to say 'I promise'?"
He smiled briefly "I've been working for a long time, is almost the only thing I do"
"I'll tell you something, if you win, I promise to train you like my brother Whiss trains the saiyans from his universe" she said "I'll try to make it fun"
"I don't love fighting as much as a saiyan" he said.
"No, but you enjoy it" she said "I know you were having fun in the tournament and when Goku hired you… besides you'll improve your skills" she shrugged.
He stood in silence with a smile before talk again "Fine, I think that's a win-win"
Before they realized the other fighters had arrived.
"I wish you the best of luck" said Vados looking at Hit before going to Champa's side. Hit let go a quick and small smile appear on his face, a smile that no one realized except…
"My, my… so are you two…?" Frost chuckled with one hand in his chin and a smug expression on his face "I see why 'you' wanted me so much to join" the next thing he felt was a strong hand choking him.
"I'll kill you during or after the tournament, so watch your mouth" he said letting him go, but keeping his glare at Frost. After Frost coughed a few times, he showed a calmed face but he was actually shaking in fear.
"Calm down… I don't know what are you talking about" Frost said shrugging calmly with his hands up in the air. Hit only stared at him with a dead look in the eye.
"Fighters, is time to come closer" called Vados. All of them walked close and she talked again "Great Priest, Universe six is gathered", they all were, in the blink of an eye, in the world of void.
Will universe six survive? Or will it be erased? Will Vados and/or Hit tell each other if they even feel something? Will anyone notice that they are close? Will my crush ever notice me? Why am I making this questions?
There's only one thing for sure, I'm hungry right now.
Btw, I wanted to make like a "scenes from next chapter" thing, buuuuuut then I wrote two more chapters between this one and the one that was supposed to be the last one.
So... ummm... I don't know what else to say.
Goodbye!
