Time for a side chapter for fun! This chapter is meant to show off more of the characters and build them up in terms of their personalities. You can skip by it if you'd like.
Within space, Frosbyte was training when Ginyu walked by, the captain peering in at the boys growth.
"Lord Frosbyte, are you sure you should be training? You don't need to, after all, you're plenty strong to take down any foe in your way!" Ginyu said, giving him a thumbs up.
"Hm? Yes, I know I'm strong, but there's always something on the other side. Frieza was powerful, yet Cooler apparently has something he does not. Why don't you leave me to this and go do something."
Ginyu nodded rapidly, "Right sir! I was just about to bring my team out on a little exercise. I'll see you later!"
He walked off, closing the door to find his team. When he did, Jeice was training his punches with Burter while Recoome was doing simple exercises, and Guldo was reading a comic.
"Ginyu Force! Line up!"
They all stopped what they were doing, lining up in front of their captain, nodding, "Ginyu sir!"
"Assume you poses men!" He said, taking on his pose as they all did the same, shouting their names.
"What's the occasion cap'n?" Jeice asked, looking at Ginyu.
"We're going on a team building exercise, to help strengthen our bond! But... I don't have an idea for one, so I came to ask for suggestions!"
Burter raised his hand, looking over, "Why not a race? I know it always get my blood flowing."
Recoome shook his head, "No, that's gonna be competitive right? We need one for the team, ehe! Why not a dance off!?"
Jeice grumbled, "Guldo'll just paralyze you mid dance and get you to fall over, unless we make a rule about it, besides, isn't that also competitive?"
Then, a voice was heard, "What about baseball?"
The Ginyu Force looked towards the door, seeing Salza, a member of Cooler's squad, with the other two members, named Dore and Neiz.
"You! What are you doing here!?" The red skinned warrior of Ginyu's force said, pointing at him.
"Calm down! He suggested something... baseball, didn't you play that as a child Jeice?"
"Yes, I was a little league player back on our home planet. It's also where I met this guy, Salza. He's always arguing with me about who's better looking and who's stronger!"
Salza began to butt heads with him, "That's because I know I win in both categories!"
"Do not!"
Dore separated them, "Calm down, both of you! Salza and the rest of us overheard you guys speaking about a team building exercise, so we came up with baseball. Two teams against each other on a field, six players for each team."
"Six players? But there are only five of us, and three of you!" Guldo said.
"That's why we'll get more members! There are plenty of people on this ship, just pick one and ask them to join in on the fun." Neiz said with a cackle afterwards.
"Then it's decided! We'll play baseball to build up our team's bond!" Ginyu said, pounding his fist against his right palm.
Salza nodded, running off to secure some good members for their team. "Neiz, you go ask Dodoria, okay?" Dore told his partner.
"Captain, if you don't mind, can I be the... err... captain of our team? I used to play this sport all the time!"
Ginyu thought about it, and maybe it'd be fine if he let Jeice be the captain for this team since he did play when he was a kid, so, he agreed.
So, they selected their teammates. Burter went to find Zarbon, as he had overheard Neiz being told to get Dodoria. So, he soon found Zarbon braiding his hair.
"Zarbon! I have to ask you something!" The blue alien said, towering over him at a great height.
"What is it Burter?" He said with a slight sigh.
"So, us and Salza's team are playing a sport as a team exercise called baseball. We wanted to enlist you as our sixth player, mainly because they're getting Dodoria on their team..."
"Dodoria's going to be playing? It's a team sport huh... so that means I'll get to show that big pink buffoon what I'm are all about... I'm in." He said, shaking Burter's hand, who then lead him back to the rest of the force.
They arrived on Jace's home planet, which had a baseball field for them to use. The Ginyu Force and Zarbon stood, opposed by Cooler's squadron, Dodoria, and two others.
"Huh!? You recruited those two saiyans, Canilipe and Gine?"
"Well, it seemed like it'd be fun, so yeah, they brought me in." Canilipe said.
"Yeah, and I was with him at the time, so in order to take a break and ease my mind, I agreed to it as well."
Ginyu nodded a bit before giving them the thumbs up, "Right then, let's get right to it!"
They got gear, bats, and balls, slipping the catcher's gear on Guldo along with on Neiz. They all sat on their benches when Salza asked, "Who's going to bat first then..?"
Jeice raised his hand, stepping up, "I'll go."
"Right... so your team bats first. Your catcher will act as the umpire, as my catcher will be standing behind you."
"I know how to play the game Salza! Remember though, no flying, we'll be eliminating that from the process." Jeice said, grabbing a bat and walking up to home plate. Guldo had to keep track of everything, keeping all of his multiple eyes peeled.
As Jeice went up to bat, Salza was pitching, looking at him with a grin on his face.
"You ready!?"
"Always!" Jeice said.
Salza spun his arm fast like a windmill. There were no rules at using their powers, so after focusing long and hard, he used his Ki to propel the ball at a fast speed, tossing it straight at the batter.
Jeice reeled back before swinging forward with all of his might, using his Ki as well, the ball and bat colliding. As the two clashed mid air, he used his power good enough, nearly grinding the ball before it was thrown high up into the sky. Dore ran off to catch it, but it went so far, scoring Jeice a home run. He dropped the bat, surprising the other team and running with a loud shout of joy. It was time to get serious.
This team building exercise was going to be fun, and indeed it was. After a long amount of playing baseball, and a lot of Salza getting angry at Jeice and his team, the team lead by Jeice won, and Zarbon got to rub it in Dodoria's face. After that experience, they returned to their places originally and continued on with their days.
