Disclaimer: Last time I checked I still didn't own Dragon Ball/Z/GT or any of its characters.
a/n: Hi, Dramondestroyer1 again. This chapter is a lot longer than the last. Again, you will review after you read the story I command it. This chapter I'm going to introduce every one of my main characters. It's based the day after the first chapter. Also, if you remember the weapons from last chapter, you're gonna get a hint to who owns what. Now it's time to start the story again. Just to let you know all of characters, except for Shanok and Tarlin, have brown hair.
************************************************************************************
The next morning, there was no change in Tarlin's usual routine. He got up, took a shower, got dressed, and ate enough food to feed an army. About an hour later, his friends had begun to show up to go to the desert and train.
The first there was Damix. He had around the same build as Tarlin, but he was about half a foot shorter than him. Damix was the only one of Tarlin's friends that preferred to use sneak attacks. He usually wore a black armor so that he could blend into shadows. Unfortunately, he was also a chronic liar, almost always saying that he could do things that he really couldn't.
Next up was the quietest of the group, Bryis. He was probably the closest to Tarlin's size, next to Tomack, and he had a slightly larger build. Bryis was usually pretty sarcastic and he almost always just went along with things. He liked to use high impact attacks and he wore a dark brown armor.
Then Lucan arrived on the scene. Lucan was the newest in the group. He had colored his hair blonde, while the others kept their natural hair colors. He was around the same size as Damix and wore a white armor. Lucan preferred to strike at his opponents hard and fast.
Last, as always, was the oddball of the group, Shanok. Shanok was about an inch shorter than Lucan and he wore a blue armor, he had a lighter build as well. He was the fastest of the group, but he was still a little dense. He used a sort of chivalrous fighting style and always attacked from the front.
Usually they trained in a group of seven, Tomack being the sixth and Frius the seventh, but getting Frius out of the palace would have been impossible. The security at the palace had been more than doubled since Artock's declaration of revenge. So they had to train without her. They didn't really worry, she always got them to double the training; and they were already planning that.
Tomack was already there, he was just asleep. He had just a little too much to drink at the party last night. So, everyone decided to get him out of bed in the worst possible way for a guy with a hangover. "WAKE UP," they all yelled at the top of their lungs.
Two hours later, they were all flying out to their favorite place to train, the desert ruins. Unfortunately, everyone, including Tarlin, had only had a "light" snack for breakfast, so they decided to eat at a tuffle place. As they landed, they hid their tails and went in the restaurant. As they ate, almost everyone was staring at them; and who wouldn't, they were eating like they always did.
Suddenly, the sound of explosions was heard. The first thought on the minds of the saiyans was that it was time for a warm-up. When they got to the source of the explosions, they found a group of banished ones. There was about six of them, each about the same size as everyone in Tarlin's group. "Well if it isn't a group of ugly one-tails," said one of the two-tails.
"The only ugly ones here have two tails and no brains," said Damix.
"Let's just have our fists do the talking guys," said Bryis.
With that they all picked an opponent and began the fight. Damix began by running straight into the shadows and hiding from his opponent's sight. Meanwhile, Bryis was charging at his enemy with some shoulder blows and uppercuts. Tomack, his head still pounding from the hangover, was just pissing his opponent off by unknowingly dodging every attack. Lucan just kept up a constant barrage and didn't let up. Then Shanok, always the idiot, took most of the shots so none of the tuffles would get hurt. Tarlin was just having fun with his opponent, sending each attack back and basically just knocking him senseless.
Eventually, they found themselves in the desert. Damix started using some of his stealth techniques to confuse his enemy. So, the two-tailed saiyan decided to send a rapid barrage at places he thought Damix was at. Hundreds of yellow energy balls flew from his hands. Even after all of that, he couldn't find Damix anywhere. Then he just let his frustration get the best of him. Suddenly, it seemed like a hundred Damixs popped up out of nowhere. That was a little technique that he called, "Shadow Self."
Shanok was having a far easier time now that he didn't have to worry about any loss of life. Now he had every advantage. Compared to Tarlin and his friends, these banished ones seemed like jokes. But, Shanok never toyed with hi enemies. He hit the two-tail in the stomach three times, heel dropped his back, then he gave him an uppercut, and finally, he used a roundhouse on him.
The banished one decided to use a huge energy burst. As he charged the attack, Shanok decided to use one of his favorite techniques. When the attack was finished, it looked about five feet in diameter. The shot may have been strong, but it was slow, so Shanok had plenty of time to get his defense ready. When the attack was about two feet from its target, it began to spin around Shanok and went back at its creator with three times the force and speed. All of a sudden, a blue vortex appeared around Shanok. It was his favorite defensive technique, "The Great Hurricane."
Tomack was probably the luckiest in the fight, he would have done better if it hadn't been for the hangover. He was pacing back and forth, trying to get rid of the migraine, and each shot his opponent fired missed. Tomack just wanted to end the fight and get back to peace and quiet as soon as possible, so he thought he'd use his best technique. He ran up to his enemy and hit him like a ton of bricks. He called it his, "Crusher Fist."
Lucan was dashing around and hitting his opponent when he was confused. His opponent was far too slow to actually challenge Lucan. So, he kept blasting at the ground, in hopes of making Lucan trip. Luckily, Lucan was floating inches above the ground, so he couldn't really trip at all. It was fun, but Lucan was getting bored with the two-tail, so he decided to finish him off. While he was running, electric bolts started to form around him. When the two-tail finally saw it, Lucan dashed into him about nine times. Each blow felt like it packed a million volts. Lucan called this technique, "Thunder Dash."
Bryis was having a little harder time. His opponent was just a little bit faster than him. Of course, Bryis was the only one to actually land any effective blows. But, at the current rate, neither of them would win. He had to get the banished one to the ground. Fortunately, his opponent decided to land and taunt him. So, Bryis jumped up as high in the air as he could and charged at the ground as fast as he could. When he made contact, the ground began to shake and split towards the banished one. Suddenly, the ground beneath the two-tail erupted with energy. That was Bryis', "Scar of Gaia."
Tarlin's opponent was pathetic, of course after facing Artock most fighter seemed pathetic. The two-tail didn't even have a coherent fighting style. Then it hit him, his opponent was leading him on. He looked around and saw that all of his friends were winning with no effort as well. They were hiding something; he had to end it then and there. "I have to use it; I didn't think I'd ever get the chance," thought Tarlin.
First, Tarlin put his hands in a clam shape, the bottom of his right hand perpendicular to the ground. Then, he rotated his hands 180 degrees. When he did that, a blue orb of energy appeared in his hands. His opponent tried to fly at him, but was suddenly hit by some unseen force. "This attack does damage to its target even when it's being charged up," said Tarlin.
Even at the altitude he was at, Tarlin could see the fear in the banished one's eyes as he was bombarded by the invisible energy. Tarlin decided that the attack was ready. He pulled his arms back slowly to let the attack go into its final phase. The light in his hands intensified as it prepared to finish its assault. Tarlin flung his arms forward and let the attack fly. The two-tailed saiyan tried to stop the attack with one of his own, but it was to no avail. Then the attack made contact and exploded with a flash of brilliant light. When the dust cleared, Tarlin could see that his opponent was still alive. "You like it? I call the Arctanian Blaster," yelled Tarlin.
"You one-tails think you're all so great," said the lead two-tail, "Well now it's time you see how strong we two-tails really are."
As Tarlin and the others watched their opponents, they found out what the banished one had meant, oozaru. They looked on in horror as the two-tails began to go through a transformation that every saiyan knew of. Their bodies began to grow, as brown fur sprouted and their noses and mouths changed into more of a snout. Their fists were already twice the size of Tarlin. When the transformation was complete, their second tail was still apparent. Tarlin had to cut it off.
So, Tarlin and his friends leapt at the oozarus. Just as they were flying, the oozarus opened their mouths and fired energy beams. The beams struck them with an almost unbearable force. It sent them straight into the ruins. They crashed through floors upon floors of solid rock. They finally stopped at the lowest level of the ruins, where no explorer had dared to go. The last thing Tarlin saw before losing consciousness was what appeared to be him with shining gold hair and almost glowing turquoise eyes.

a/n: So tell me what you thought. I'm going to leave the next chapter as a bit of a surprise. By the way, if any of you forgot, Tarlin is based off me, the friends are based off none other than my friends, and Tomack is based off my cousin. So, until next time, this is Dramondestroyer1 signing off.
