Episode 5- The Black Saiyan? Big Trouble!

Sirrus and Nago sat in a restaurant, both characters looming over a plate of steaming food. The
two had been traveling for almost two days, and figured they had seen the last of Zaki.

Nago scarfed down the remainder of his food, undoing his belt and leaning back in his chair.
"That was the tastiest meal I've ever had!"

Sirrus smiled as he swallowed a glass of water. "It tastes even better when you aren't paying for
it," he noted, pulling some money out of Zaki's stolen purse and putting it down on the table.

Nago looked at the money and lowered his head. "Sirrus, I feel bad about leaving Zaki there. It
wasn't the right thing to do."

"Nago, you can't feel bad about everyone we come up against. So we left her poor and naked.
She'll recover."

"She doesn't have any family there."

"Don't worry about her. She'll be fine, got it?"

"Yeah."

Suddenly, the doors to the restaurant burst off their hinges and a mysterious figure walked in. He
was clad in black leather with a flowing black cape, and wore a mask with the insignia of a snake
on it. He laughed maniacally.

"Oh no! It's the Black Saiyan!" screamed the waitress standing at Nago's table.

The stranger hopped onto a table and laughed again. "Correct! I am the Black Saiyan, the ruthless
and notorious thief! And if you all know what's good for you, you'll give me all your valuables!"

Sirrus and Nago jumped out of their seats. "I got a valuable for you, punk," grunted Sirrus, "It
has five fingers and it's about to be planted in your face!"

The Black Saiyan laughed again. "I don't have time to waste on morons like you two. I'm not in
the mood to beat up anyone."

Sirrus leapt forward, slamming his fist into the right side of the Black Saiyan's face. The criminal
fell off the table and landed on the ground. "Ow!"

Sirrus stood over him, cracking his fists. The Black Saiyan looked up hesitantly. "I think it's time
for Plan B."

Quickly, the Black Saiyan whipped out a small bottle and tossed it at Sirrus. The bottle broke and
spilled out a green gas that caused everyone in the restaurant to cough and go blind.

"MY EYES ARE BURNING!" yelled Sirrus as the Black Saiyan pulled on a gas mask and
shoved the demon aside, whipping through the room and snatching up all the jewelry and money
he could grab. Then, as the people in the restaurant struggled to regain their vision, the thief
darted out the front door and into the streets.

"Hehehe. Idiots. As if they ever stood a chance against the Black Saiyan!" laughed the thief as he
ran into an alley, tossing the gas mask into a pile of garbage.

"Stop!" shouted Nago as the boy stood in the Black Saiyan's path.

The Black Saiyan stared in awe. "H- how did you ma- manage to beat me here?"

Nago scowled. "I followed you. The gas wore off pretty quick, and I didn't want you to get away
with all of those good peoples' valuables."

The Black Saiyan smiled. "That's great, but what can a little kid like you do to me?"

"Just wait and see!" yelled Nago, jumping into the air and flying at the Black Saiyan with his right
foot extended.

Nago connected with the gut of the Black Saiyan and knocked the criminal to the ground. He
flipped back up in a second, and threw his fist at Nago, who jumped out of the way just in time.
With ferociousness in his eyes, the Black Saiyan pulled out a whip and lashed out at Nago,
striking him in the back and throwing him out into the middle of the road. Nago howled in pain as
he laid on the ground in the middle of the road. The Black Saiyan walked out of the alley, and hit
Nago with the whip again. Nago screamed.

"Now you know what you're dealing with. Prepare to pay!" shouted the Black Saiyan, swinging
his whip at Nago a third time. Sirrus stepped in its way and the whip wrapped itself around the
demon's arm. He pulled it from the Saiyan's grip.

"You bastard, praying on kids," growled Sirrus through gritted teeth.

The Black Saiyan let go of the whip and took a step back. "I guess this is where I make my exit,"
he expelled, leaping into the air. The injured Nago and Sirrus stared in awe as the thief flew into
the air.

"Sirrus, he's flying!" said Nago, pointing at the criminal. Sirrus stared, frozen in shock.

The Black Saiyan pulled out a small orb and tossed it at Nago and Sirrus. The orb hit the ground
and immediately detonated, knocking Sirrus and Nago to the ground. He tossed another orb, and
Nago and Sirrus darted out of the way. Soon, he was hurling orb after orb at them. Nago and
Sirrus ran back and forth around the streets in a panic, looking for cover. The Black Saiyan
laughed. "You can't beat me!" he shouted from the air.

Nago stopped running and looked at the thief. He couldn't allow the Saiyan to escape with all the
valuables he had taken! Nago reared back, flaming with anger, and launched himself into the air
like a cannonball, aiming straight at the Black Saiyan. The Black Saiyan saw it all too late though,
as Nago rammed into his right side, knocking the bag of cash out of the Saiyan's hands and
knocking him and Nago onto a nearby roof. Sirrus darting over to the building and climbed up the
wall to the roof. The Black Saiyan and Nago were lying on the roof.

"Ouch. My head," groaned the Saiyan, siting up. Sirrus grabbed the Black Saiyan by the collar.

"NO! Don't hurt me! I- I give up!" screamed the Black Saiyan in fear.

"I don't care," replied Sirrus angrily.

Nago limped over and grabbed Sirrus' shoulder. "Leave him alone. He isn't a threat any more."

"But- but look at what he's done to you!" said Sirrus, examining his injured friend.

"It's done. We can turn him in and be done with it."

The Black Saiyan perked up. "No! Don't turn me in! please you don't know what they'll do to
me! They'll lock me up for eternity! Please! I'll give you money! Jewels! Gold! Anything! Just
don't turn me in!"

The Black Saiyan pulled of his mask and tossed it on the ground. "My name is Kindro. I'm just an
average criminal who can fly. I'm not even a Saiyan."

"Not interested. I don't know what a Saiyan is and I don't care, Kindro," replied Sirrus.

"Hidden treasure."

Sirrus stopped. "Treasure?"

Kindro smiled. "Yes, treasure. A mystical treasure hidden in a castle in a mountain near here. Free
me and I'll show you it."

Sirrus hesitated. "What do you think, Nago?"

"One condition, Kindro," stipulated Nago.

"Name it."

"You have to teach me and Sirrus how to fly."

"Deal."

-------------------

A little while later, the three were on a trail leading through the forest toward a large mountain.

"It's said to be a legendary orb that grants your every wish," said Kindro, smirking as he walked
down the road alongside Sirrus and Nago.

"NAGO! SIRRUS! YOU JERKS! GET BACK HERE!" screamed a shrill voice from down the
road. Sirrus and the others turned to see who it was.

Zaki ran down the forest path in a frenzy, a towel wrapped around her figure and a stare like
death in her eyes. Sirrus screamed. "How did she find us?!"

"YOU JERKS!! YOU LEFT ME THERE NAKED!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" screamed Zaki.

"RUN!!" shouted Sirrus. The three travelers took off, running as fast as they could while Zaki
trailed behind them.
