"What are the Tarnel?"

"A species of Giant Space Squid, one of them ate Cress and then my Mother."

"I'm sorry, but you have your Mother back now," Sala tells Peppa before gently taking her right hand and squeezing it gently.

"Thank you, Sala."

"It was my-." the Human girl was cut off abruptly when Peppa pulled her close and firmly but gently pressed her lips against Sala's.

Sala's chest tightened and she could hear her heart pounding in her ears. Then Peppa slowly pulled away from Sala, leaving a thin trail of saliva between her lips and Sala's.

"You're an amazing kisser, Peppa."

"I aim to please, Sala." the Sayian replied proudly.

Ryosen glares at Wasabi but says nothing.

"I won't fail you this time, Mr. Sumdi."

Sala awoke suddenly with a gasp, sitting up she blinked a few times and looked around finding herself in an unfamiliar room.

"Seems like you didn't rest well," Peppa said from across the room.

"You're very astute, Peppa," Sala replies while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Care to talk about it? I'm a great listener."

Swinging her legs around so they were uncovered by the sheets, Sala placed her feet on the floor, Peppa blushes and turns around.

Noticing this, Sala looked down and saw that she was wearing only her lingerie.

"Eeek!" she said before grabbing the bed sheet and covering herself.

"I'll...be outside if you need me," Peppa says quickly,

Before Sala can say anything, Peppa is already out the door.

Wasabi puts in a call to some mercenaries he knows, they are all Sayians as well.

Cado, vicious and proficient at his job, his kill success rate is 97%, next is Okora, a highly skilled marksman and hand-to-hand combat expert.

Third, is the ever-illusive and cunning Argula. And finally, Otamot, who may very well be the toughest challenge for Peppa. Then the leader of the mercenaries stepped into the room.

She is a colossus without an ounce of body fat on her.

"Cado, what do we have to do?" Aspara, their Leader asks.

"Recover Sala Tsunarabe, she's in the company of a strong Sayian, her power may even be enough to rival your own, Lady Aspara," Cado reports.

"Interesting." was all that Aspara says.

That night, Sala decides that she's going to ask Peppa out on a date, to thank the Sayian for protecting her. She steadies herself before going to Peppa's bedroom and knocking lightly on the door.

"Who is it?" Peppa asked.

"It's Sala." Peppa says.

"Come in, Sala." Peppa replied.

Sala cautiously entered Peppa's quarters, Peppa was seated at her vanity brushing her flowing blue hair, a sight that made Sala's breath catch.

"What can I do for you, Sala?" Peppa asked, looking at Sala through the mirror.

"Uh Peppa, would you like to go out on a date with me, tonight?" Sala asked nervously.

Peppa smiled as she stood up and walked over to Sala.

"I would be delighted to go out on a date with you tonight, Sala." Peppa answered before leaning in and placing a chaste kiss on Sala's right cheek.

"I-is eight thirty ok with you, P-Peppa?" Sala stammered nervously.

"Yes, I will see you then, Sala."

Just as Sala turned to leave the room, the wall opposite Peppa exploded, knocking Peppa down, dazing her. Standing in the rubble when the smoke cleared were Cado, Okora, Otamot, Argula, and Wasabi.

"Sala Tsunarabe, you're coming with us."
