…..
Captain Ginyu struggled to breathe as bright blue beetle-like life-forms continued to pour from every orifice of his face.
Appule rushed into the briefing room "Everyone out into the hall NOW! "
The horrified crew members of baseship 32 hurried from briefing room B-62. Of course Frieza was the first to exit.
"NOT YOU!" the blue reptilian medic shouted as he shoved the leader of the Ginyu Force back into the briefing room.
"SEAL THE DOOR!" Appule barked.
Dodoria quickly did so even as he bristled at being ordered by a mere medic.
"WHAT THE Hell IS GOING ON?" Frieza demanded.
"Well, Lord Frieza. It appears that Captain Ginyu and his crew have been infected with Puazrinaris. No doubt they picked up the nasty parasites during their last mission. I'm sure they'll make a full recovery after we treat them. Of course, it will take some time for them to recover from the treatment. But it's nothing a few hours in the rejuvenation tanks won't take care of" Appule assured him.
"What exactly does this 'treatment 'entail?" the Ice-Jin pressed.
"Lord Frieza, we shall have to carefully scan Ginyu and the others for any remaining larvae and burrowing adult Puazrinaris and then remove the upper layer of their skins' surface to extract the parasites from the affected areas" the head medic declared.
Several crew members gasped in horror at Appule's words. Even Frieza seemed taken aback. Turles flashed Lornai a quick evil grin. The Parithian female shivered in spite of herself.
"Is this 'treatment' absolutely necessary, Appule?" Frieza pressed.
" With all due respect, Lord Frieza. If the Puazrinaris are not properly disposed of, they will infect every life-form on this ship" Appule stated.
"Proceed" the lizard-tyrant quickly agreed.
….
Lornai watched as Turles executed a flawless kata in the lower-level training room of baseship 32.
"You're EVIL! You know that don't you?" Lornai asked.
"I DO try to be. Thanks for noticing" Turles snickered.
The golden-skinned female sighed in exasperation.
"This seems a little much even for you" the Parithian elite insisted.
"I'm going to the lab to listen to the agonized screams of the Ginyu goons" the dark-skinned Saiyan said with an air as if he were going to attend a grand banquet.
"I'm sure that Appule will have them properly sedated" Lornai said flatly.
A chilling laugh came from the former pirate. His handsome face was lit by a purely malicious smile.
"They can't be sedated! Any anesthetics will put the Puaszinaris into reproducing at hyper-speed. Appule would be forced to skin the Ginyu Force alive!" Turles said smugly.
Lornai covered her mouth with her right hand.
"This should be highly entertaining unless those morons ruin the fun by passing out" Turles chortled as he left the room.
…
Appule gave a sigh of relief as Guldo was carried out of the treatment room to a rejuvenation tank. The plump four-eyed being was the last of the Ginyu Force to have the Puazrinaris removed from his skin and tissues. It seemed as if the crew's screams, curses and desperate pleas still rang in his ears. He was startled to look up and see Turles standing against the back wall of the room with a strangely satisfied expression on his face. The Saiyan gave the surprised medic a wink and a salute and slipped out of the room.
"What was Turles doing in here?" Appule berated his medical staff.
"He was so quiet, we didn't even notice he was there" a small green fish-like medical assistant said with a shrug. The rest of Appule's staff agreed whole-heartedly.
'I get the distinct feeling that Turles thoroughly enjoyed the Ginyu Force's suffering' Appule thought with a shudder.
…
Captain Ginyu dragged himself down the corridors of baseship 32 on the way to his quarters. Even after the healing process was completed in the rejuvenation tank, his entire body was wracked with pain. The soreness would subside in a few hours Appule had assured him. He had refused any pain reducing meds because he didn't want to appear weak in front of his men. Now the captain desperately wished that he hadn't let his pride overrule his common sense.
To add insult to injury, Turles appeared directly in front of him. With a growl of disgust the purple skinned warrior shoved past the smirking Saiyan.
"What's the matter, Gin-phew? Something 'bugging you' ?" the former pirate taunted.
Ginyu balled up his fists in rage even though the movement caused pure agony to shoot through his body.
"Now, now! You shouldn't let little things get under your skin" Turles snickered.
"You son of a…." the livid captain started.
"What's got into you?" Turles chortled.
Before the leader of the Ginyu Force could respond the dark-skinned Saiyan let another barb fly.
"Heard you had a 'bug problem' " Turles quipped.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ginyu roared.
The Saiyan warrior easily evaded the weakened Ginyu's futile blow.
"Careful, Gin-poot. Never know when you'll 'catch a bug' " Turles chuckled.
Suddenly the black-horned purple-skinned being appeared deathly pale.
"YOU! YOU DID THIS!" a furious Ginyu screamed.
"Seriously? And then again…." The Saiyan's voice trailed off ending in mocking laughter that had the hapless captain gnashing his teeth in anger.
…
Lornai flopped onto her bed for a quick nap. It seemed that she tired easily as of late. She was probably just pushing too hard. A growling sound soon roused her from her slumber. For some reason the ebony-haired female was also a lot hungrier than usual.
"Let's see what the mess hall staff has rendered unfit for consumption this evening" Lornai mused.
….
"THAT FLEA-BITTEN APE DID THIS TA US?" Jeice screeched.
"I'LL SQUASH HIM LIKE A BUG!" Recoome bellowed.
"Oh! Sorry, Captain!" the huge warrior spoke up quickly.
"HE HAS TO PAY!" Guldo snarled.
"Oh, He's going to pay all right" Ginyu agreed. "I just haven't figured out just HOW, just YET!"
….
"Did YOU pick up some sort of parasite, Lornai?" Turles questioned as he took in the stack of plates piled in front of the female elite.
"NO! I just seem to have gotten a bit of an appetite" Lornai shot back.
"A 'bit' she says" her teammate teased.
…
They passed Turles's quarters first. The Saiyan reached out and pulled the Parithian female into his quarters.
"Turles! Do you know what a risk you're taking?" Lornai scolded.
"Stay for a while. I can't go to your quarters, Dodoria has been skulking around" Turles complained as he nuzzled her shoulder and began kissing and nipping her throat.
"I'm NOT sleeping on that rock!" the golden-skinned female insisted as she pointed to the hard bunk in the far end of the Saiyan's tiny room.
"Who said ANYTHING about sleeping?" Turles snickered.
….
So What did you think? Please let me know!
