The Saiyans of Universe 2
*The Night before the Tournament of Power*
"Looks like everyone is here" Vikal addressed the group respectfully.
"I believe in all of you and together we will win this tournament and ensure the survival of our gentle and loving universe" Heles's replied to Vikal with full confidence and reassurance.
Vikal blushes embarrassingly feeling honored to be in the presence of such great and loving teammates. She hoped she would not let them down when the time came. Vikal looked around at the group when she noticed Pell was looking up at the sky with a stern look.
"Is everything alright Supreme Kai Pell?" Vikal approached asking in a respectful tone. Pell kept silent watching the night sky from the lookout tower. His silence was noticed by the rest of the group when he did not answer Vikal. Heles walked next to Pell who gave her a regretful look.
"What is it Pell? What's the matter?" Heles asked him in a gentle and concerned voice.
"I'm sorry! I became weak, I was not confident in Zarbuto and Rabanra abilities given the gravity of this tournament…" his voice broke. He turned to Heles and fell to his knees and bowed his head begging for forgiveness. Heles smiled and bent down on one knee and gently placed her left hand on his right shoulder.
"You should have faith in the warriors we choose. Now, Where did you find these other warriors you believe to be stronger than the ten here?" Heles ask with a gentleness and love that broke Pell's heart.
"The west galaxy…" Pell answered back weeping. There was utter silence and dread across the faces of the other fighters. Heles pulled her hand back and got to her feet with a cold dark look. Pell didn't have to look to feel her disappointed stare. "I'm sorry but after seeing some of the other warriors in the other universes my confidence wavered in the ten you chose" The knights and the maidens watched with stunned silence.
"I see…" Heles responded in a cold voice.
"I'm sorry, I just want to win and continue to exist. Even if that means relying on them…" Pell pleaded to Heles hoping the Goddess of Destruction would see wisdom in his choice. Heles pointed her right finger at Pell with a glowing ball of energy building before it.
"You know he has a point" Sour interjected. Heles turned her head toward him. "Pell is just trying to be smart. Your very existence is on the line in this tournament and we only have the 6th highest mortal level, second only to Universe 11 among the competing universe" Sour stared with a blank and emotionless expression. Heles continued her glare. "Universe 6 and 7 are using them to. We have them in our universe as well. If their stronger then two of our warriors we have then it wouldn't hurt to give the slots to the two Pell choosed" Sour defended Pell's choice. The building energy disappeared. Heles lowered her hand.
"Where are they?" Heles asked displeased looking back down at Pell.
"They should be here soon…" Pell quivered in fear of Heles.
"I wonder who they are talking about…" Vikal said outloud in a concerned tone.
"West Galaxy...it can only be…" Jimeze looked away with anger as he balls up his fist. "Saiyans…" he said in a bitter tone.
"Saiyans?" Vikal asked not knowing who or what a saiyan was, but knowing like the others the west galaxy was a savage galaxy full out outlaws, space pirates, bandits, and some of the most violent and ugly individuals you will ever meet.
"Saiyans are a violent and destructive race who shared a planet with the tuffles" Heles replied looking up in the sky then back at Zarbuto with sadness.
"Zarbuto you never talked about saiyans of your world?" Vikal asked.
"Tuffles are a technologically advanced race that nearly brought that ugly race to extinction during the civil war for the planet they shared. Only a remnant escaped and survived. From there the saiyans spread to the other planets throughout the galaxy like a plague killing and destroying everything in their path growing stronger and stronger the more they fought" Heles educated Vikal and the others as she puts her hands behind her back pacing back and forth. "After my sleep, I found out they spread out conquering and enslaving whole worlds and selling planets. They even went as far as to destroy whole worlds and races of people. I could not tolerate that ugliness so I destroyed their new home planet but the few off world continued to terrorize the West Galaxy" Heles said bitterly.
"Thats horrible…" Brianne added.
"Yes, well they only got worse from there. They not only wiped out the Namekians, the metamorans and-"
"They attacked the yardant home world…" Jimeze said with spiteful hate in his voice. The group took note. "Worlds full of life destroyed by the same saiyan. I'll never forgive him and I'll never forget that monster" Jimeze added.
"Among others…" Heles added.
"We should leave before they arrive we don't need violent psychopaths like that representing our loving universe!" Prum voiced his opinion that was shared by most of the group.
"Agreed! We don't need those who don't share our mantra of love and beauty!" Zirloin added his opinion.
"I agree as well, they don't sound like true warriors but a bunch of murdering planet destroying psychopaths! Like in the ancient days" Zarbuto added his two-cents in.
"They're not worthy to be knights to our maidens!" Rabanra agreed with the other warriors in the group looking to the maidens for approval. The maidens however were deep in thought as they weighed what was said.
"If that's how our devoted knights feel we will stand by and respect your choice as we will come to rely on your support in the Tournament of Power" The maidens agreed with their knights.
Pell felt embarrassed and stupid as he got back to his feet brushing off his robes. The knights and the maidens joined hands with Heles and Sour to get ready to be transported to the Tournament of Power when they felt a sudden and terrifying power as two warriors appeared before them.
"Oh look cousin, looks like they were going to leave without us. How rude" the first saiyan said walking into the lighted area of the lookout for all to see him. This saiyan wore a sleeveless light pink uwagi, a long sleeved black undershirt with a turtleneck and a red sash, black pants and red boots. He wears a silver and red potara earring in each ear. "I'm Korn a Saiyan of house Poole" he smiles wickedly.
Brianne steps forward introducing herself as the leader of the Kamikaze Fireballs then proceeds to politely introduce the other maidens and the knights that will be in the team. Heles, Sour, and Pell watches in silence at the exchange. There was heavy tension in the air. Another saiyan appears behind Korn making his presence known.
"And this is my cousin-"
"Peppa! I know him! He has destroyed planets and terrorized my people!" Jimeze yelled out in righteous anger. Peppa just ran his hand through his hair slicking it back and laughs. He had light brown skin and wore a sleeveless black jumpsuit with brown gloves and boots with his long monkey like tail wrapped around his waist.
"Oh look, a survivor" Peppa grins with a look of malice. Jimeze got mad breaking formation and flew at Peppa who rose in the air with a wicked smile dodging effortlessly at the physical attacks of the Yardant Jimeze. No matter how fast he punched and kicked it looked as if Peppa wasn't even moving. He continues to dodge and laugh. Then Jimeze tried to use his instant transmission technique of his people to gain an advantage but was horrified when Peppa counter with instant transmission of his own. They teleported all around the lookout Jimeze trying to do his best to avenge his race.
"How disrespectful…" Brianne said toward Korn who looked over at her with a cold stare.
"What was that?" Korn asks her to clarify. Jimeze continues his relentless assault in vain against Peppa.
"Your attire, do you fancy yourself to be some kind of god?" Brianne asks him.
"No, I wear this out of respect for my teacher West Kai" Korn answers her annoyed.
"West Kai is dead, she was murdered by the monster Zuu" Pell walks next to Brianne.
"Yes, and she was avenged when my cousin and I defeated the suicide bombing solar system destroying self-regenerating green snot" Korn answers back with a sly smile. Pell was shocked to learn Zuu was destroyed by these two. "You should thank us, it's not like anyone else was going to stop him from running amok" Korn added insult to injury. Pell notices the potara earrings in Korn's ear and wondered if he knew the scope and power of what he had in his possession.
"Those earrings-"
"Are mine! A keepsake for me to remember our brave and beautiful West Kai" Korn said in a low voice. There was a hint of pain and sadness to it that Heles noted she had not noticed before in their universes saiyans.
"I wasn't aware one of my Kai's took an interest in saiyans?" Heles inquired.
"Yes, well when your galaxy's strongest individuals are saiyans and no other race in our galaxy can compare to us. Well, what's that saying takes a saiyan to beat a saiyan" Korn laughs leaving the others to stare uncomfortably at him.
"Yes, well I can see her teachings didn't get very far with that one" Heles looks up to Jimeze and Peppa teleporting around the place. Peppa not even taking the fight seriously as he continues to evade Jimeze attacks while listening in on the conversation below.
"Yeah, well my cousin has his own ideas. You may not agree with him but rest assured you can count him come time of the tournament" Korn emphasized.
"How can we be sure? You saiyans are an ugly, violent, and hateful race" Heles reminded Korn. Then as if on cue Peppa went on the attack and struck Jimeze from the air back to the ground. Jimeze hit the ground and rolled over onto his back pushing off the ground back to his feet where he was meet with Peppa standing inches from him with an orb of light in his hand.
"Bang!" Peppa said and Jimeze flinched with fear. Peppa laughs lowering his hand. The orb of light disappears. "If I wanted to I could have killed this peon but that doesn't serve our purpose" Peppa explains then crosses his arms. Jimeze was tired and sweating profusely but Peppa looked as if he had not even broken a sweat.
"Peppa-sama may I ask what is your objective?" Vikal asked with respects.
"The same as yours, for the continuation of our universe" Korn interjects. Vikal nods respectfully but looks over at Peppa feeling he does not share the same view. Peppa smirked noticing this.
"I'm a saiyan, I don't need a reason to fight. But rest assured I aim to win. Then everyone one can behold my greatness!" Peppa proclaimed full of arrogant and sinful pride.
"Your greatness?" Vikal asked alarmed.
"I'm too great to not exist and if what Pell says is true and our existence is on the line then I rather have the chance to fight for my own survival against the strongest warriors in all the universes and when I win everyone will know I am the strongest!" Peppa said with a wicked smile.
"You know there is no killing in this tournament, you can only win by defeating or ringing out your opponents" Sanka Ku told them.
"Makes it all the more easier for us to win then. Now we don't have to worry about them killing us" Peppa laughs. "You should just leave everything to us and try to not get yourselves knocked out" Peppa mocks.
"What my cousin means is you take out the small fries and watch each others back and leave the strong opponents to us. We LOVE fighting strong opponents" Korn is unable to contain his smile. The maidens looked toward the knights then toward Heles.
"It's your team Brianne. I will respect your choice" Heles tells her in full confidence. Brianne looks at her team then back at the saiyans.
"I'm sorry I can see you two are powerful but we already have ten required warriors" Brianne told the saiyans much to everyone's approval.
"Agreed! We need honorable warriors not murdering psychopaths like you two!" Jimeze butted in.
"According to Pell the fate of our existence is on the line and you expect us to leave that up to you guys. Not a chance in hell " Korn said sternly.
"And if they're as strong as the saiyans of universe 6 or 7 then it would be wise for us to have them with us and increase our chances of winning" Pell calculated. There was murmur and disagreement among the other warriors then Heles puts up her hand and silences everyone.
"I abhorred the ugliness and the tactics of your race. However, I respect Pell's judgement so...Rabanra and Zarbuto will fight you two and the winners will be allowed to enter the Tournament of Power with us " Heles snickers. There was silence as Rabanra and Zarbuto step forward to answer the challenge. Both saiyans smiled picking their respective opponent and took a fighting stance. Korn targeted Rabanra and Peppa targeted the Tuffle Zarbuto remembering what his race did to his and the utter hatred and malice he has for the Tuffle race.
Heles would get her way and be rid of the ugly saiyans. She had complete confidence that Rabanra and Zarbuto were stronger than the two hateful and proud saiyans that were trained by West Kai and were chosen by Supreme Kai Pell.
"You ready Saiyan? Today I avenge the Tuffles who fell during the war" Zarbuto said to Peppa who smiled wickedly.
"I'm ready…" Peppa assumes a fighting stance looking at everyone. "Go for it" he tells him.
Zarbuto and Peppa both flew in the air matching either other punch for punch and kick for kick. The others stared in wonderment and horror, Rabanra charged Korn who dodged his attacks looking bored with the lackluster effort on his part.
Peppa gauged Zarbuto's ki and easily doubled his ki and kept pace with the old tuffle. His body adapting to his fighting style and pattern. He instinctively started to dodge and land powerful blows on Zarbuto. It became clear very quickly the old tuffle was going to lose with very little effort of Peppa's part. He exhausted the tuffle then knocked him to the ground from the air. He flew down next to him arms crossed with a smirk.
"Is that the best you got old man? How did your disgusting race ever beat us?" Peppa mocked his opponent. Zarbuto was sweating as he sat up. Peppa quickly placed his right foot on his chest and kept him pinned to the ground. "Do yourself a favor old man and stay down" Peppa laughs much to everyone's disgust.
Korn wasn't like Peppa who enjoyed any sort of fight, he preferred to fight strong opponents who can further increase his power. Fighting Rabanra was boring and uneventful to Korn so he decided to end it quickly by turning into a super saiyan god with a blazing fiery red aura. He quickly overpowered and defeated Rabanra tossing his body next to the defeated Zarbuto. Korn powered down and smiled.
Heles was not happy and her warriors were shocked at Rabanra and Zarbuto's defeat. Sour showed no emotion and Pell tho shocked internally was pleased that the saiyans had defeated the two weak warriors he now felt more confident about their chances at winning the tournament and their right to exist. Rabanra and Zarbuto got to their feet and walked over to Heles and Brianne.
They bowed weeping in shame of their inability to defeat the saiyans. Brianne looked toward the other maidens, then to Heles, and with a heavy sigh to the saiyans who defeated two of their devoted knights.
"In accordance to Heles's word, Korn and Peppa will take the place of Rabanra and Zarbuto as knights to the maidens and warriors to represent our loving and beautiful universe" Brianne told them.
"Nice try, but were no knights were wildcards and we will fight according to our nature as saiyans. So just watch out for each other and leave the strong opponents to us" Peppa smirked arrogantly.
"Enough! Let's go, the Tournament of Power will be starting so save the rest of your energy, pace yourselves and do well. I Have utmost confidence in all of you" Heles pauses when she looks over to the saiyans and shakes her head disgusted. She hated them and She'd rather not use them at all but given what she saw from the exhibition matches between universe 6, 7, and 9 it be most unwise to not use these powerful warriors who defeated two others whom she thought were stronger and better choices. However, Heles worried greatly over how the saiyans would conduct themselves in the tournament and how the other universes will look at them based upon their actions.
Heles grabs the shoulder of Sour, the maidens join hands and grab Heles, as the remaining knights join hands and grab onto the maidens. As for the Saiyans they grab onto the shoulder of Sour he transports them all to the Tournament of Power where they will face off with 8 other universes for the right to continue to exist as for Rabrana and Zarbuto they were left behind hoping the saiyans would do honor to their spots as they returned home planets hoping for the best...
